Operation Red Book

"So what did he wish for?"

Ivy poured the peanut shells into the sea and asked.

“They…”

Mr. Zhu's eyes were filled with ice-like tears as he looked into the vast distance.

"They all made the same wish - peace."

He smiled, as if telling a story from the Arabian Nights.

"As a result, the brothers were transformed into piranhas, their souls were deceived and they became slaves of the ancient gods."

"It was also thanks to Zhao Minghua that he met the mermaid. I don't know if it was because he paid homage to his ancestors in his hometown in southern Fujian before leaving."

"Anyway, he pretended to join the mermaid team, and with his reputation over the years, he became the leader of the mermaids, so he could help us silently in secret."

Mr. Zhu looked at the pitch-black water surface and took out a large and exquisite wooden box.

"Here, Zhao Minghua asked me to give it to you."

"For me?"

Ivy exclaimed and happily took it.

When he opened it, he saw a box full of beautiful pearls, all of which were the precious tears of the mermaid.

"Yes, he said you are a rare talent and asked me to cherish you..."

"That's not necessary."

The words were so ambiguous that Ivy almost retched out of disgust.

She shook the pearls in the box, counted them roughly, and then frowned.

"With so many pearls, Mr. Zhao must have cried miserably."

"No, he said he wanted to give you a gift but he just couldn't cry and insisted that I help him."

Mr. Zhu sighed and shook his head at the water.

"How did you help?"

Ivy asked curiously, but she immediately regretted it. Some bad and erotic scenes suddenly broke into her mind.

"Could it be that you mermaids...you are gay..."

"I scolded him a few times and he started crying. After I filled my bag with pearls, he started crying and dived back into the water without even saying thank you. What a shame!"

"Um……"

Ivy wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand. Mr. Zhu's scolding was indeed dirty, and no wonder there were so many pearls in the box.

"Ahem... So, has Mr. Zhao left here?"

"Yes, fish in the sea cannot adapt to fresh water."

"After daybreak, we met other mermaids and after a few conversations, we killed all the mermaids here together."

"After that, we robbed a few European ships, drank some fine wine and hairtail fish buried deep in the sea, and then we went our separate ways."

"Oh, no wonder."

Ivy closed the box full of pearls and held it lovingly in her arms.

Mr. Zhu came back late at night on a windy day, when Ivy was just getting ready to go to bed.

Standing on the deck and looking from afar, I saw Mr. Zhu wearing a blue robe, standing at the bow with a smile on his face.

Behind him, there were several large ships.

To be honest, his arrival did solve many urgent problems.

First, there is plenty of space.

Previously, due to the limited space on ships, the living area and commercial area were mixed together above and below, which was not only cramped but also very inconvenient.

Now that there are more ships, the business that Ivy just mentioned can finally be realized.

Secondly, it is the negotiations with the British side.

Mr. Zhu's business empire extends far beyond this small piece of land. His headquarters is located on the coast of China, and he has business dealings with all continents.

Even if he lost the business in the Chinese dock area, he still had countless assets and funds in his name.

Therefore, with this confidence, the negotiations between the two sides went very smoothly.

The British side agreed to contribute manpower and a compensation plan, and we also agreed to remove the fence around the Chinese dock and open it to the whole of London.

“Isn’t this Chinatown?”

Ivy made an extra comment while eavesdropping at 10 Downing Street, and unexpectedly it hit the spot exactly what the two leaders were thinking.

So, when the two sides shook hands and made peace, the name Chinatown was also recorded by the officials nearby.

Finally, Mr. Zhu came back and handed Mr. Victor a beautiful fish scale.

This fish scale was exactly the same as the one hanging around Alexander's neck, and he had sewn both of them into the stump of the doll.

Finally, when the doll was sewn, Luna, who had been unconscious for a long time, opened her eyes.

Except for one leg and one hand that could not move, she was still the same as before, beautiful, naughty, soulless, and ethereal...

After everything was done, the Chinese wharf regained its former prosperity.

But whenever people talk about the Chinese wharf again, a few exquisite ships on the water replace the first impression of Shisanfang.

"Why don't you go out? Isn't this the party you proposed to host?"

Ivy leaned on the railing, fascinated by the laughter in the cabin.

"I'm old now. No makeup can cover up the wrinkles at the corners of my eyes. I can no longer show my face in public, drink and brag..."

After saying that, he sighed deeply and looked at Ivy.

"You must have suffered a lot during the time I was away."

"well enough……"

Ivy pursed her lips, a trace of loneliness flashing in her eyes.

"Compared to the university life that is far away from me, it seems that these are nothing..."

"Ha ha!"

Mr. Zhu laughed twice and his eyes narrowed like a fox.

"I'm sorry, I can't afford a college for women, but I can give you something else."

"What is it?"

Ivy bit her lip and turned her head back, her eyes filled with curiosity and anticipation.

Unexpectedly, he shut up again and only gave Ivy a provocative smile and smug eyes.

"You're crazy. If you don't tell me, I'm leaving."

Ivy rolled her eyes at him, turned around and lifted the soft curtain.

"I am a descendant of the Nanxun Zhu family and grew up in Yuhang..."

Mr. Zhu's voice suddenly came from behind, stopping Ivy in her tracks.

"When I was in my teens, my elder brother died, my younger sister died, my younger brother died, and my parents died too. They were killed by a gang entrenched in Jiangdong."

"I am just an uneducated scoundrel, born to my father's concubine. The most skilled thing I can do is kneel down and acknowledge my father."

"Just because of my posture and attitude of kneeling down and kowtowed to admit my mistakes and acknowledged my father, the old gang leader took a fancy to me and has been kept by his side ever since."

“That’s awesome!”

Mr. Zhu was joking cheerfully, but Ivy couldn't laugh after hearing such tragic words.

"Then, after lurking for several years, I poisoned the old gang leader and successfully killed the bastard."

"I originally wanted to be the gang leader myself, but the old gang leader's daughter came back. She has been studying abroad in the United States for many years. She didn't learn any good or bad things, but instead learned a lot of incredible Chinese Kung Fu?"

"She said she was grateful to me for killing the old gang leader and wanted me to stay with her. I refused, so she stabbed me with a knife."

"After torturing me half to death, she sent someone to stuff me into the cabin of a ship that was smuggled to England."

"You know what happened later. I am a piece of gold. I can shine even in a stinky ditch."

A refreshing breeze blew towards the two of them, carrying with it moist moisture.

Ivy didn't say anything, just looked at him steadily.

"This is the shit you're so eager to know after we've only known each other for five minutes. Aren't you disappointed?"

Mr. Zhu grinned wickedly, and there were indeed many shallow wrinkles at the corners of his eyes.

"Okay, come in quickly, it's windy outside, don't catch a cold..."

After saying that, he put away his smile and said seriously: "Do you know my intention?"

"Ah."

Ivy snorted, and without any further expression, she turned around and left quickly.

Mr. Zhu's eyes darkened. He took out a pipe from behind and started smoking in the cool breeze.
