When Tong Jia came to the hotel, she happened to see Diao Yongting and Yang Jixia coming out of the room in great frustration.

Without waiting for Tong Jia to ask, Diao Yongting took the initiative to apologize to Tong Jia.

He said, "Sister, I'm so sorry. You and your brother-in-law have just reunited after a long time, and I dragged your brother-in-law to deal with things with me. I was really ignorant.

But I... really have no other choice.

There are so few people around me who I can trust. Apart from my brother-in-law, I really don’t know who I should ask to help me teach Watanabe to count.”

"Counting? Yang Jixia hasn't been home for several days just to teach a Fuso man how to count? What's so difficult about that? You've been teaching for so many days, but you still haven't learned it?" Tong Jia took the opportunity to inquire.

After listening to Diao Yongting, she didn't have to waste time asking Yang Jixia anymore.

It was impossible for Diao Yongting to tell his subordinates about his inner grievances, but when Tong Jia asked him, he told them all.

Tong Jia also seriously offered advice, saying, "If you can't count with your fingers, how about using your voice?"

"Sound? Sister, please tell me in detail." Diao Yongting asked.

Tong Jia said: "I was on my way to the northwest and saw someone performing monkey training, and it seemed like they were using sound to train the monkeys.

It's like beating the gong, beating it once and giving a sweet date, what is the corresponding action.

Knock twice and get a banana. What is the corresponding action?

If monkeys can be trained, then humans can be trained even more so, right? "

"Monkey show? Sound? Diao Yi, quickly go to the street and find me two monkey showmen. I need to ask them some questions.

Big sister, if this trick works, you will really help me a lot.

These days, my brother-in-law has been accompanying me to teach Watanabe how to count, and he is really tired.

From now on, until we leave Jiangcheng, brother-in-law doesn't need to come to my place. Let brother-in-law accompany you well.

Oh, by the way, before leaving Jiangcheng, my elder sister must have a lot of things to buy. Put them all on my account and leave this note in the store. I'll ask Diao Ren to pay for it later." Diao Yongting felt that Tong Jia was smart. Even if this method didn't work, he could always ask her to think of another solution, so he was more generous to her.

This also gave Tong Jia and Lao Qian the opportunity to carry out their tasks respectively.

It may be a little difficult to ask Lao Qian and his comrades to pretend to be upper-class people, but if they want to pretend to be monkey trainers, there is no need to pretend at all. They can just act as themselves without any mistakes.

But in fact, sneaking into the hotel was only the first step for Lao Qian and his team. After they succeeded, the most important thing was how to evacuate safely.

Similarly, although Yang Jixia could leave the hotel with Tong Jia, Diao Ren was always following him. If they wanted to get rid of Hengtian without any scruples, they would need to think carefully.

The two of them could do nothing but go back to the courtyard to discuss countermeasures.

When we returned to the courtyard, Tian's mother had already prepared dinner.

Everyone invited Diao Ren to eat with them, and Diao Ren sat down to eat without any hesitation.

During the meal, Tong Jia asked, "Brother Diao Ren, my brother-in-law asked you to follow Yang Jixia. Is it only during the day, or at night as well?"

Diao Ren put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and said, "Mrs. Yang, our superior means that Boss Yang did not bring his own people with him when he came to Jiangcheng this time, and Jiangcheng is a bit chaotic, so he asked me to stay with Boss Yang to protect his safety.

I'll follow you during the day and watch over you at night... uh... I'll just sleep on the floor in the restaurant downstairs. I won't disturb your married life."

Diao Ren thought Tong Jia was worried about his privacy and hurriedly explained.

Tong Jia waved her hand and said, "Hey, this room is so small, and Lele's room is right next to us, so we definitely can't do anything.

Besides, sleeping on the floor is bad for your health.

Anyway, we can't stay in Jiangcheng for a few more days. You, Yang Jixia and Lele will sleep upstairs, and Tian Ma and I will sleep downstairs.

If you take out the cabinet in Tian Ma's room and put two stools on it, it can be used as a bed.

It’s settled. Tian Ma and I will sleep in the same room. It’s up to you three how you decide to divide it up.

I only have one request, no one is allowed to touch the clothes in my closet and the jewelry in my dressing table.

I have to start packing my luggage tomorrow. If I find anything missing, Yang Jixia, I will never let you go!"

"Hey? There are three of us sleeping upstairs, why are you so upset with me? Confucius was right, only women and villains are difficult to raise. Who did I offend?" Yang Jixia retorted.

Tong Jia snorted and said, "You guys eat first. Lele, come upstairs and help me get something."

Yang Jixia said: "After dinner, I will help you clean up... and you said that you treat Lele as your own brother, but you don't let him... I didn't say anything, you guys go, you guys go..."

Under Tong Jia's wide-eyed stare, he chose to change his words in time.

Tian's mother knew that Tong Jia must have something to tell Lele, and was worried that Diao Ren would want to go up to check, so she picked up a plate of braised pork and poured almost all of it into Diao Ren's bowl.

While pouring, he also said: "Little brother, eat more, my wife is like this.

Only she and I can touch her underwear, and only Lele and she can touch her valuables. She doesn't trust anyone else.

You eat yours, eat.

Sir, you eat too. You don't come back often, so the relationship between husband and wife is bound to be a little strained.

When you go to Shanghai, you two will have more time to spend together and you will naturally become closer."

Yang Jixia, who was drinking porridge, almost choked to death when he heard this.

Compared to pretending to be a couple with strangers, it would be more embarrassing for him and Tong Jia, a divorced couple, to pretend to be a couple.

It’s okay to quarrel, but being intimate…there really is a psychological barrier!

However, before arriving in Shanghai, he still has time to prepare himself mentally, and it would be best if he could find an opportunity to have a good talk with Tong Jia (Rong Xintong) about how the two of them should get along in the future.

But these things are not urgent yet. The most urgent task is to get rid of Hengtian first and find out what items are on the two ships that will be docked at Jiangcheng Wharf tomorrow, and then deploy the next plan.

After giving a wink to Tian Ma, he went upstairs to find Tong Jia.

There are only two rooms on the second floor. There is no one in one room and the door of the other room is closed. It is easy to guess which room the two people are in.

Yang Jixia knocked on the door, but heard no response from inside.

I knocked again, but still no sound.

Worried that Tong Jia and Tao Junle were being coerced by someone and couldn't make any sound, Yang Jixia got anxious and kicked the door open.

Tong Jia, who was originally discussing how to divide the work and cooperate in the RV, immediately came out of the RV after hearing the bang of the door.

Because I was too anxious, I forgot to bring Tao Junle with me.

As soon as she came out, she saw the shaky door of the room and Yang Jixia standing at the door with an anxious look on his face.

Tong Jia asked angrily, "What do you want to do? You want to tear down our house instead of just living a good life?"

After asking, he moved closer to Yang Jixia and asked quietly, "Is there any emergency?"

Yang Jixia looked around the room but couldn't find Tao Junle. He asked suspiciously, "I have something to discuss with you. I knocked on the door for a long time, but you didn't open it. I was worried that you were in danger, so I kicked the door.

Didn’t Lele come up with you? Why are you the only one in the room? Where is he?

Tong Jia rolled her eyes and whispered, "I asked him to climb out of the window, hoping to see if he could find a chance to go to Watanabe & Co. to find Hengtian at night.

If he can, I think Lele and I will go and deal with Hengtian tonight, and you will be responsible for holding Diao Ren back.

If Lele is not able to do it, then you two will be responsible for holding Diao Ren back, and Tian Ma and I will go to carry out the mission.

You came up here, do you also want to discuss this matter with me?"

Yang Jixia nodded and said, "Also, both ships will arrive at Jiangcheng Wharf tomorrow.

Those going out to sea will arrive tomorrow morning, and those coming in will arrive tomorrow afternoon."

"Will Diao Yongting go to the dock tomorrow?" Tong Jia asked.

Yang Jixia replied: "I will definitely go. The reason why he asked me to come back with you was not only to flatter you, but also to get rid of me.

After all, I have been in the hotel the whole time and these things cannot be hidden from me.

This is his second time taking on this type of ship. There are a lot of complicated interests involved, and I guess he doesn't want to give me a share just yet."

Tong Jia said, "He doesn't want to split it, but we still insist on doing it. Since he's going tomorrow, Hengtian must be resolved tonight."

"Yes, this will delay him from going to the dock tomorrow. We can move the things on the ship before he gets to the dock." Yang Jixia also supported Tong Jia's idea.

Tong Jia asked, "Have you found a place to move to and people to be responsible for the move?"

Yang Jixia said: "Old Guo will bring people to pretend to be fishermen. As long as they can stop Diao Yongting, at least in an hour, they can replace all the big items on the boat."

"How many fishing boats are you going to distribute the stuff from an entire ship onto? Wouldn't it be too conspicuous if there were too many fishing boats?" Tong Jia was a little worried.

Yang Jixia explained: "First, move the large items such as bottles and jars to the fishing boat, and leave the calligraphy and paintings, gold and other items alone for now.

After all, Diao Yongting still needs to inspect the goods. After he gets the things he and his superiors need from the ship, after the ship leaves Jiangcheng, Lao Guo will take people to transfer other things.

When the boat reaches its destination, there will be nothing on board except dead fish.”

"What about the incoming ship? How can we find a reason to go up and confirm the items inside?" Tong Jia asked again.

Yang Jixia said, "I'm relying on Lao Qian and the others. As long as they can get rid of Watanabe before noon tomorrow, I'm confident I can take over Diao Yongting's place to catch the boat this afternoon.

He didn't know the key role of Hengtian, but he knew the importance of Watanabe and the safe.

Once something happens to Watanabe, he will definitely take care of Watanabe first, so the matter of picking up the boat must be handed over to someone he trusts.

The people around him, such as Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi and Xin, are indeed loyal to him, but they have low cultural level and probably find it difficult to communicate with those on the ship.

He doesn't know the others well, so instead of asking Jiangcheng officials to pick up the boat for him, he might as well ask me."

"Then it would be better for Old Qian to leave Watanabe with some breath. If Watanabe is being rescued, Diao Yongting will definitely not leave." Tong Jia suggested.

Yang Jixia agreed and said, "Then I'll go first and ask Tian Ma to deliver the letter to Lao Qian."

When Tong Jia saw him turn around, she raised her leg and kicked him in the butt, causing Yang Jixia to stagger.

Yang Jixia turned around and looked at her. Tong Jia smiled slyly and said, "You kicked my door down, so I have to kick my door back down."

After saying that, he pointed downstairs, meaning to show it to Diao Ren.

Yang Jixia had no choice but to cover his butt and go downstairs. When he reached the next floor, he saw Tian Ma and Diao Ren standing at the stairs, looking up at the upstairs with concerned eyes.

When the two saw him coming down, Diao Ren quickly boasted, "Boss Yang, what was that noise upstairs just now? I was afraid of danger and even pulled out my gun, but Tian Ma wouldn't let me go up."

Tian's mother said, "When I heard what my little brother said, I realized you're not married. It's normal for a couple to make some noise while living together.

You rush in, what are you talking about? "

Yang Jixia waved his hand to stop the two from continuing.

He said, "Diao Ren, the door panel upstairs is broken. After dinner, come with me to the street and we'll find some tools to fix the door.

Aunt Tian, go find the rickshaw driver we hired and tell him not to take any other jobs these days and to be on standby at our door at all times.

Starting tomorrow, my wife and I will go shopping in the morning and pack our luggage at home in the afternoon.

After we packed our luggage, we asked him to deliver it to the hotel.

I needed him to pick me up and drop me off all day long, which was only for three days. I paid him a monthly fee, but after that I didn't need to hire his car anymore.

Okay, let’s go finish our meal first, and then we can go about our own business.”

"Sir, aren't Madam and Lele coming down for dinner? Do you want me to bring some food up?" asked Tian's mother.

She was worried that Tong Jia and Tao Junle would not come down and would arouse Diao Ren's suspicion.

Yang Jixia waved his hand and said, "My wife said she's not hungry and wants to pack up her valuables with Lele and doesn't want to be disturbed.

After she finishes cleaning up, she will take Lele out to eat and tell us not to worry about them and just eat our own food."

Tong Jia really didn't want anyone else to go upstairs and disturb her, so she simply let Yang Jixia say this to stop anyone else from going upstairs.

Tong Jia, who was upstairs, waited until Yang Jixia went downstairs, then returned to the RV and brought Tao Junle out.

She had not originally planned to let Tao Junle and Tian Ma go with her to carry out the mission of eliminating Hengtian. Their mission tonight was to cover for her.

Although Tao Junle was unwilling, he knew that if he went out with them, Yang Jixia might not be able to stop Diao Ren alone.

So, at night, Yang Jixia and Diao Ren slept together in the double room, and Tao Junle still stayed in his original room. However, in order to keep an eye on the two of them, he did not close the door when he slept since the door was not broken.

Downstairs, Tian's mother was very worried about Tong Jia's safety and wanted to go with her.

But Tong Jia said, "Mother Tian, if there is any emergency at night, with you here, you can still say that I was too soundly asleep and didn't come out to check on the situation.

If we were both gone, it would be hard to talk about many things.”

Mother Tian had no choice but to tell Tong Jia to be careful, and then watched Tong Jia disappear into the night with worry.
