I traveled through time without patched pants, I was the richest man in the Republic of China

As Wei Miao turned here and there, she threw her blue printed headscarf and apron into the trash can on the boat.

Ali caught up with her in no time, rubbing against her feet and biting her trouser leg with his mouth.

The man and the cat had a perfect understanding. Wei Miao followed Ali along the low and depressing corridor.

"Pyrotechnics cabin?"

Wei Miao didn't say anything, but listened with his ears perked up.

There are two breaths inside, one of which is steady, probably in a sleeping state.

There was another person who seemed busy.

"You bad boy, be gentle and don't disturb my sweet dream." The speaker muttered.

"Brother Long, okay, I will be careful."

The timid voice turned out to be Brother Lu.

Wei Miao raised her eyebrows. She thought that if she disappeared, Brother Lu would somehow be able to get into the second class cabin.

Unexpectedly, they were burning coal in the pyrotechnic cabin.

"If it weren't for that bastard Ah Sheng having fun somewhere, I wouldn't keep anyone with unknown origins here."

The man who was called Brother Long continued to mutter unhappily.

Lu Pingsheng flattered, "Brother Long, you can go to sleep without worry. I will be on duty all night tonight."

"Humph, you are so smart, you poor fellow."

She didn't even need to look at Wei Miao's pursed lips to know that Brother Lu was rolling his eyes.

After rolling his eyes, Lu Pingsheng looked at his pitch-black hands.

Out of the corner of his eye he saw Ahri squatting at his feet.

He squatted down with a little excitement and wanted to raise his hand to touch the cat.

As a result, Ahri dodged flexibly.

You are just like your heartless master, Lu Pingsheng complained in his heart.

Ali was disgusted by the coal dust on his trouser legs, so he scratched him twice with his claws, signaling him to go out.

Lu Pingsheng was very happy.

He took three or two steps to walk out, his eyes fell on the sleeping boatman who was half lying on the ground, and kicked him hard in the crotch.

He was already out the door when the murderous howl sounded.

What a bastard. He has been beaten and scolded these days, and he has been licking the foreigners. He has long been fed up with it.

Feeling angry, Lu Pingsheng looked up and saw the ugly boy standing in front of the dim light and grinning at him.

"Walk."

The two people and the cat ran quickly and lightly down to the cargo hold.

A new boatman was guarding the cabin door, and he was sleeping soundly on his small table.

Wei Miao followed the same method and the frog larvae gained one minute.

After Lu Pingsheng opened the cabin door, he just hung the key at the door and ignored it.

The two of them walked down two steps quietly and simply sat on the stairs.

The smell in the cargo hold was worse than in the previous few days. The crowd, which had been quite lively before, mostly had no strength due to lack of oxygen and hunger.

Occasionally there was a cough or two and a low cry, which was quickly interrupted by the impatient voices of others.

Naturally, no one paid attention to the situation at the high hatch entrance.

"Success?"

Although Lu Pingsheng asked the question in a low voice, his tone was firm.

This little brat will definitely not come back if he fails to achieve his goal.

He was already prepared to disembark, and he used the golden finger madly to closely monitor the dock to see if he could find Wei Miao when the Japanese were handing over the gold to the bank.

Wei Miao was in high spirits at the moment. He stroked Ahri who was curled up in his bag and gave her a little spiritual energy.

Lu Pingsheng naturally heard the cat's comfortable purring sound.

"How are you?" Although he spoke in a low voice, Wei Miao still used a northeastern accent.

Normally it takes three days to get from Shanghai to Hong Kong Island, and it would be even faster if you take a plane.

She was unwilling to believe that Brother Lu, who had ulterior motives, would take a cargo ship that had changed its route and spend ten days on it.

You know, there are still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with in Hong Kong.

When Lu Pingsheng raised his hand to rub Wei Miao's head, he knew he couldn't hide it from the little brat.

He passed a lot of information to Nanjing, including the situation of the Japanese exchanging gold for equipment.

He was sent by his superiors to keep a close eye on it.

But even if he told this to the little brat, she might not want to hear it.

"What's on your head? Why is it whirring?"

Wei Miao was a little shy. Every time after swallowing gold, his body would expel some impurities.

There isn't much of a peculiar smell, it's just sticky like black mud.

"Your hands are covered in coal dust, and my head is covered in sweat. If you mix them together, it will become coal mud." Wei Miao argued.

Lu Pingsheng actually thought it made perfect sense and wiped his dirty clothes casually.

After a while, the two of them started walking down. When they were almost to the bottom of the cabin, they saw someone sitting at the ladder.

"Have you found the duck eggs?" It was Qin A'man's voice.

He woke up when two people pushed the door open.

This father and daughter made him extremely curious.

The younger one ran up the next day, and the older one followed. The boat soon docked, and the two of them actually came back.

"The child loves to play, and is eating and drinking for free in the third class cabin."

After Lu Pingsheng made a few vague remarks, he asked Qin Aman, "Have you discussed a countermeasure with Mr. Hu?"

Qin A'man sighed, "Mr. Hu's ancestors were silk merchants. The Hu family was the first to introduce foreign machines and opened a cotton yarn factory, becoming a well-known cotton yarn king in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. A few years ago, there was a war in Shanghai, and his father was worried, so he decided to take the family's money and settle in Hong Kong Island."

Wei Miao covered her mouth and yawned. She heard this on the first day she got on the ship.

The things were taken away by the escort...

"Mr. Hu told me yesterday that it's not a few thousand taels of gold, but tens of thousands..." Qin A'man spoke in a low voice.

Lu Pingsheng raised his eyebrows, no wonder he was going back and forth.

"Mr. Hu was still slow to react. By the time he had finished his father's funeral and wanted to seek justice, that group of people had already disappeared into the sea, and it was impossible to find them." Qin A'man felt extremely sorry.

"It's been four or five years since that period. Why is Mr. Hu always going back and forth?" Although Wei Miao had just had a big meal, his eyes still sparkled when he heard Huang Jin.

Qin A'man stretched out his arms and lowered his voice:

"Didn't the Hu family run a cotton yarn factory? There are still a large number of customers in Hong Kong who have ordered cotton yarn and haven't paid the balance. In short, they are collecting debts..."

Wei Miao half-closed his eyes, listening to the quiet conversation between Lu Pingsheng and Qin A'man, and fell asleep unconsciously.

But just as I closed my eyes, I heard someone shouting from above the ladder.

"Everyone, get ready. In twenty minutes, the deck will be lowered. Follow me. No noise or crowding. Otherwise, if you fall into the sea, no one will pull you out..."

Wei Miao touched his pocket and found Ali was still there. When he looked up, Brother Lu was already ready with his bag on his back.

"Duck Egg, hold my hand tightly and don't run around."

Wei Miao achieved his goal this time, so he was naturally well-behaved and obedient.

"How about I take the boat back?" Wei Miao tried to suggest.

Lu Pingsheng knew that this guy was still thinking about the underground vault, so he definitely couldn't let her go back.

"There are many delicious foods in Hong Kong Island, as well as many wealthy families and the gold of HSBC. Don't you want it?"

The crowd at the back had already stood up and started to line up. Amid the noise, Wei Miao heard Lu Pingsheng's bewitching words and his eyes rolled.
