A Girl Traveling Through Troubled Times

Guier stuck her head out of the window and looked, and the group of planes had indeed left.

She hurried out of the room and saw that everyone's faces were filled with fear. She felt that the expression on her face should be similar to theirs.

She came to the deck again and saw that the small boats that were not affected were trying their best to rescue some people who fell into the water during the bombing.

Black smoke was still billowing from the bombed building on the shore. From afar, some people were organizing firefighting, while others were running back and forth on the street, screaming and looking for their lost relatives and friends.

More and more people came to the deck, and everyone looked at the scene on the shore in horror. If they had boarded the ship later or if the ship was closer to the shore at that time, they might have been bombed as well.

"These damn Japanese, when they arrive in Hong Kong, I will organize all the business owners I know to donate money so that we can buy planes too." A man who looked like a wealthy boss and was wearing a silk gown and several rings said angrily.

Gui'er suddenly remembered what Sha Yanxiao had told her, that the treasures that the Marshal had taken back from the Japanese and that Director Shen's were to be managed by herself, so could she take out some of them and donate them to the revolutionary party? All she had to do was keep the accounts.

Thinking of this, Gui'er felt a little better, as if the fear and guilt brought about by her previous helplessness had been alleviated.

After spending a night on the boat, they arrived at the shore at dawn the next day.

Guier took out the address Sha Yanxiao gave him, which read: 88C, North Kellett Street, Kowloon City District, Hong Kong.

She said to Ah Cheng, "Ah Cheng, when you sent the telegram to Angkor Wu, did you tell him that we were coming here on this boat? If no one comes to pick us up, we will have to find a way to get to this address ourselves."

Ah Cheng said, "I sent him a telegram with our ship's schedule, but he didn't reply. I called, but it was a public phone and I couldn't get through every time, so I'm not sure. But don't worry, I will definitely get you there safely, even at the risk of my life."

Gui'er remembered watching those early Hong Kong police and gangster films before she traveled through time, such as Inspector Lei Luo. She knew that Hong Kong used to have many gangs and thieves, and it was quite dark, so she specially brought the hidden weapon pen with her. Now, after hearing what Ah Cheng said, she felt even more uneasy.

She thought for a moment and said to Ah Cheng and Ding Xiang, "Let's try to keep valuables with us. Those boxes...if someone really robs us or something, the loss will be less."

So the three of them rummaged around again and took out everything they thought was valuable.

Gui'er took the hidden weapon pen, some photos of Sha Yanxiao and herself, and a small bag of her savings. In order to hide the small bag of savings, she found a looser gown and put it on, hiding the money in the inner pocket of the gown.

Ah Cheng took out a small purse from his bag and hid it in the inner pocket of his clothes. He then took out a loaded pistol from the bottom of the box and put it in his waist.

Gui Er didn't expect him to bring a pistol with him, so she asked, "Brother Cheng, is this okay?"

Ah Cheng gave a bitter smile and said, "I have no choice. I'm new here and not very familiar with the terrain here. I'm afraid this thing is not easy to handle, so I had to bring it over from over there. I should be able to get by with it by spending some money."

Both of them were ready, and passengers were getting off the boat one after another. However, Dingxiang hurriedly took out one thing after another from her bag, making a big bag.

Ah Cheng said helplessly, "You're almost there. I asked you to take your valuables, but you packed such a big bag. It's so conspicuous. What's the difference between this and before?"

Ding Xiang said with a sad face, "The things in this box are all Miss Ping Su's favorite things. This one is a dress imported from France, and this one is an embroidered cheongsam made by Yunshang Tower, which is worth a lot of money. And these are my most beautiful clothes. It would be a shame if they were gone."

Gui'er smiled and said, "Dingxiang, don't worry. We're just reporting it to prevent the worst. We won't necessarily be robbed. Just pack your clothes in a bag. There's also some silver in the bag, so take it with you. Put my clothes back in the box. Hurry, everyone's almost gone."

Dingxiang said "Oh" and put her clothes back into the box reluctantly. In this way, her baggage became much smaller.

Ah Cheng said, "I'll go downstairs and hire someone to move it up. You guys watch here." Then he turned around and got off the boat.

Gui'er and Dingxiang were waiting there. Almost all the people in the rooms on the left and right were gone. The crew members would glance into their room from time to time, and both of them felt a little uneasy.

"Miss, Miss, we are here."

Gui'er suddenly heard a familiar voice. The next second, Wu Mingqiang pushed open the door and walked in carelessly, followed closely by Acheng.

Ah Cheng smiled and said, "As soon as I got off the boat, I saw Brother Qiang and his men waiting for us at the dock. Let's get off the boat."

Gui'er finally felt relieved. She saw that Wu Mingqiang was dressed more elegantly and was followed by a few minions.

Wu Mingqiang said to his men, "How rude! Why don't you go meet the young lady?"

The men hurried forward and bowed awkwardly, saying, "Hello, Miss." Some said, "Hello, Miss." They didn't seem to have received any training, and looked like they had just come from the countryside and had never seen the world.

Gui'er asked Wu Mingqiang, "Who are these people?"

Wu Mingqiang smiled and said, "Miss, you don't know. The situation in Hong Kong is very complicated and chaotic. We are all new here, so we can't do without some manpower. Although the young master has arranged some people for you at the mansion, if anything comes, I think we still need some capable and capable people. These brothers also came from the inland to make a living, and they are willing to follow me to make a living. I think our young master has some assets here, so it won't be a big problem to have a few more mouths to feed, so I took them in. Miss, do you have any objections?"

Although Gui'er felt a little strange, she thought that she didn't know much about social affairs, and Wu Mingqiang knew about Sha Yanxiao's property in Hong Kong, so his arrangement was reasonable. She smiled and said, "You're right. Then these people will be under your charge from now on."

"Thank you, Miss." Wu Mingqiang said contentedly, then turned to the others and said, "Why don't you thank me, Miss?"

Those people said with great trepidation, "Thank you, Miss."

Gui'er nodded and said, "Don't waste any more time. Let's get off the boat."

Wu Mingqiang quickly directed several people to move the luggage. They had already arranged a cart on the shore. To others, Gui'er was just a rich lady with many servants who had just returned from traveling outside.
