After living a new life for my neighbor's grandmother, I traveled through the book again
Chapter 59 Jiangcheng's Mission (7)
Because of the little incident in the morning, Diao Ren paid close attention to Lao Qian's every move when he went out in the morning, for fear that he would harbor resentment and hurt Tong Jia and Tao Junle who were sitting in the rickshaw.
This greatly distracted his attention from Yang Jixia, giving Yang Jixia and Guo Xin the opportunity to exchange secret codes.
Tong Jia consciously avoided the concession, so when many people from the police station ran towards the concession through the bustling crowd, he did not realize that anything was wrong.
It was not until Tong Jia went to the tailor shop near the dock to pick up her newly made cheongsam and saw the messy state of the dock that Diao Ren realized something was wrong.
Looking at Yang Jixia who was accompanying Tong Jia to try on clothes, and then at the chaos at the dock where there was no one there, Diao Ren gritted his teeth and decided to let Lao Qian go to the hotel for him, while he himself would still insist on being on duty.
Lao Qian was very happy to make this trip for him. After all, he also wanted to know whether his plan could go smoothly.
Although he was willing to go in his heart, he acted reluctantly and tried to ask Diao Ren for money for running errands, and almost got punched in the back by Diao Ren.
If Yang Jixia hadn't come out to smooth things over, even if he had dodged the punch, there would have been a fight afterwards.
Pretending to be really scared of Diao Ren's Lao Qian, he had no choice but to pull the cart to the hotel.
But Tong Jia stopped him at this time and said, "After we get the clothes, we still have to go to the jewelry store to have a look. There are too many clothes and it's not easy for us to carry them all.
You're just going to the hotel to report a news, so there's no need to bring a cart. It's cumbersome and will only delay us. It would be nice if you could leave the cart with us so we can put our things there."
Old Qian was still reluctant, but when he saw Diao Ren's raised fist, he had no choice but to agree. He also kept looking back and told the others to be careful to protect his rickshaw, as it was the one his family relied on for food.
After being punched and chased away by Diao Ren again, Lao Qian ran towards the hotel.
After Lao Qian left, Yang Jixia glanced at the watch on his wrist. It was 9:47. Lao Qian should arrive at the hotel around 10:27, which would be a little after 11:00.
Everything depends on whether the wild monkeys that Lao Qian and his friends found can carry out the plan they set.
In the tailor shop, Tong Jia and Tao Junle changed into one suit after another. The bow tie of each of Tao Junle's blazers was made with the leftover fabric from making cheongsams for Tong Jia. Every time he came out of the fitting room, his clothes were eye-catching.
Ever since the owner of the tailor shop learned about the relationship between Tong Jia and Yang Jixia, he has been lobbying Yang Jixia to make a few sets of clothes as well, and he also promised that the tie would be the same color as Tong Jia's cheongsam.
Before Yang Jixia could say anything, Tao Junle's face turned ugly. He didn't want Yang Jixia to be treated the same as himself.
But this was outside, and it was difficult for him to express his dissatisfaction.
But Tong Jia refused outright, "I don't want to use the fabric from my clothes to make him a tie. Boss, pack up all those scraps of fabric for me. I'll have other uses for them when I take them back."
The proprietress was a middle-aged woman. When she heard that Tong Jia wanted all the scraps of cloth, she seemed to suddenly remember something and asked with a smile on her face, "Madam, are you going to take these scraps of cloth back to make patchwork quilts? Are you going to have a little master soon?"
I would like to congratulate the gentleman and the lady first.
In fact, if you want to make a patchwork quilt, you don’t have to take all the fabrics home. We have other scraps of fabric in our store.
Madam has always been so supportive of our business, so we made this patchwork quilt for her for free."
Tong Jia didn't know why the owner of the tailor shop had such divergent thoughts, and for a moment she couldn't think of how to refuse.
Then I heard Yang Jixia say, "It's better not to bother. We will leave for Shanghai in two days, and we don't know when we will be back. It's probably too late.
Take the scraps of cloth back with you, and we'll find someone to make it when we get to Shanghai."
"Oh, that's such a pity. Ah! No, no, I'm not saying it's a pity for you and your wife to be reunited. What I mean is... our store will lose a customer with such a beautiful figure and appearance like Mrs. Yang. It's a pity.
To be honest, this cheongsam needs a figure and appearance like Mrs. Yang to look good, so that our master's craftsmanship can be fully utilized.
Since you two will be leaving Jiangcheng in two days, and since we have known each other for a while, you can let us make this patchwork quilt.
"Mr. Yang, Mrs. Yang, don't worry. We'll have the patchwork clothes and quilts ready by tomorrow night at the latest. We won't charge you a penny. Just consider it as a thank you for taking care of our business, Mrs. Yang." The tailor shop owner explained sincerely.
The other person was so sincere that Tong Jia couldn't find the right words to refuse, so she could only turn her gaze to Yang Jixia.
Yang Jixia didn't know how to say no to such an enthusiastic proprietress.
So he had no choice but to thank him and leave two silver dollars to the boss as delivery fee and expedited fee.
The proprietress pushed it back and forth with him for a long time, but finally accepted it.
After leaving the tailor shop, the rickshaw was almost filled with clothes, all of which were clothes for all four seasons for Tong Jia and Tao Junle.
Of course, Tong Jia was afraid that others would see that she and Yang Jixia were a couple who only lived in disharmony, so she bought him two ready-made suits at the clothing store. She didn't have any more.
The next stop is the jewelry store. Tong Jia has not been in Jiangcheng for long, but he has become familiar with every jewelry store.
She knows which chef has the best skills.
I spent an hour in the jewelry store, choosing and choosing, and basically bought all the jewelry that I liked and could take away immediately.
When it came time to pay, Yang Jixia was worried that he would be kicked out by the jewelry store owner because he couldn't come up with the money.
But after seeing Tao Junle calmly take out money from his messenger bag and pay the bill, he couldn't help but feel a little more confused.
I had this doubt when I was in the clothing store, and now it is even more serious when I go to the jewelry store.
While Diao Ren was standing at the door looking at Lao Qian, Yang Jixia asked quietly, "Didn't you donate all the dowry you could bring with you? Are the few gold bars you have left enough to buy so many things?"
Tong Jia rolled her eyes at him and said, "You know running a business requires funding, but don't I know how to make money?
My dowry hasn't been touched yet. This money was earned during my time in the Shanghai Stock Exchange. It didn't take up any of my activity funds, and I won't ask you to pay it back early or buy a house. You don't have to be afraid."
"I'm not worried about this, I'm afraid..." Before Yang Jixia finished his words, he saw Lao Qian running towards them covered in blood.
The expressions of the two men changed immediately. They were worried that Lao Qian would be injured and that the planned schedule would change.
But when Lao Qian ran closer, they found that the blood on Lao Qian's body was not his. Lao Qian also took the opportunity to catch his breath to wink at the two of them and signaled that everything was going well over there.
The two people, relieved, began to cooperate with Lao Qian in acting.
But none of them were as fast as Diao Ren.
He quickly ran to Lao Qian, grabbed his arm, and demanded, "Didn't you go to the hotel to report the news? How did it get like this? What happened at the hotel?"
"It's so scary. The monkey has become a spirit. It bites anyone it catches and grabs anything it touches.
The hotel was covered in blood inside and out. The person you asked me to find was also injured and was sent to the hospital by the hotel staff.
Before we got on the bus, he asked me to come back and tell you that you and Mr. Yang should go to the hospital. He has something for you to do. ” Old Qian imitated the monkey’s ferocity with his movements, and finally told Diao Yongting what he had said.
To be honest, he is very excited now.
Originally, he just wanted to seriously injure Watanabe so that Diao Yongting would have to go to the hospital with him.
I didn’t expect the monkey to be so powerful, or it could be said that Diao Yongting was unlucky.
He had just returned from Watanabe Trading Company in the concession and learned that a particularly vicious murder had occurred there last night. The four people who died had extraordinary status in the Fuso Kingdom, which made him even more anxious to get Watanabe to tell him the password to the safe.
Diao Yi was told to go to the dock to pick up the boat, but because Diao Yi was one of the first people to enter Watanabe & Co., the effects of the itching powder, pain powder and laxative in the air had not yet dissipated. He began to feel unwell before he even reached the dock.
Diao Yi, who was looking for a place to relieve himself, met Guo Xin's men again, which delayed him. As a result, before he could find a place to relieve himself, his clothes were stuck with excrement.
It's summer now, so you can imagine how pungent the smell will be.
Diao Yi was in this state and had no way of directing people to get on the boat to get the things that Diao Yongting had asked him to move down from the boat. He had no choice but to go back to the hotel to take a shower and change clothes.
While he was changing clothes, Guo Xin's men got the list of things and quantities that Diao Yongting wanted to move down from him.
Guo Xin placed all these things at the entrance of the cabin according to the list, and replaced other things on the ship. Only then did Diao Yi arrive late.
By this time, order on the dock had long been restored. Diao Yi, who was almost exhausted from pulling, had difficulty even getting on the boat, so he asked people to move things down according to the list. He only checked whether the things moved down from the boat were enough, and did not even look at the things on the boat.
Guo Xin and his crew's fishing boat moved openly in front of Diao Yi, carrying a boat full of treasures.
After Diao Yi checked that everything that was moved down was fine, he gave the note issued by the Jiangcheng government to the people on the boat and successfully released the boat.
At this time, except for the person who drove the boat and the person who handed over to Diao Yi, most of the people on the boat had already been replaced by Guo Xin's people.
The people on the boat were gagged and tied up and thrown into the corners of various streets and alleys in Jiangcheng.
When Diao Yi was taking those things and preparing to return to the hotel to report, he happened to meet Diao Ren and Yang Jixia who were rushing to the hospital in a hurry.
Upon learning that Diao Yongting had an accident and was admitted to the hospital, Diao Yi also ran to the hospital.
The people behind who were carrying things hesitated for a moment, then also ran towards the hospital carrying their things.
After seeing this scene, Tong Jia also came up with an idea. She asked Lao Qian to find someone to go to the hospital, and when those people put down the box, she would do something to the box. It would be best if the box would fall apart after being lifted up and walked for a while.
She wanted the boxes to fall apart downtown.
Many people nowadays do not have enough food to eat. If they suddenly see a lot of gold on the road and no one knows each other, most people would probably grab a piece and run away.
In this way, she could take advantage of the chaos to collect the ten boxes of calligraphy and paintings by ancient celebrities.
As for the sixty boxes of yellow croaker, let the people grab them first. If it is too late, I will collect them myself.
While Lao Qian went to the hospital to find someone to do this, Tong Jia stopped two other rickshaws, one to deliver clothes, jewelry and Tao Junle back to the courtyard, and the other to take herself to the hospital.
When Tong Jia arrived at the hospital, she learned that when Diao Yongting was about to shoot the wild monkey, the wild monkey lay directly on his face and scratched the back of his head, tearing off a piece of his scalp and biting the hand holding the gun into a bloody mess.
When Tong Jia and others arrived, the doctor was disinfecting Diao Yongting's hands.
The blood-red wound with white foam made Tong Jia feel nauseous. She simply fell into Yang Jixia's arms and pretended to faint.
Because Yang Jixia had to go to the dock in the afternoon to pick up the boat on behalf of Diao Yongting, Tong Jia stayed in the hospital temporarily.
Diao Yongting also asked his men to go to the courtyard to pick up Tian Ma to take care of Tong Jia, while he continued to grimace in pain under the doctor's disinfection.
Just twenty minutes later, he received another piece of bad news: Watanabe, who had angered the wild monkeys, died despite rescue efforts.
But there was also good news. Before Watanabe died, he seemed to have regained some knowledge of numbers. He stretched out two fingers on his left hand and three fingers on his right hand, and then slowly became stiff.
The password on the password box was three digits. After confirming that these were the two digits left by Watanabe before his death, Diao Yongting almost immediately wanted to go back to the hotel to open the password box to verify it.
However, looking at his bloody hands, he no longer had the courage.
Watanabe had told him before that although the safe was small, it had a self-destruct device inside.
If the password is wrong, the time bomb in the password box will be activated, and it will be useless to choose the correct password.
This is also the reason why the password dial is covered with a transparent cover, to prevent accidental touches.
Thinking of the four bodies in Watanabe's company, he felt that his trip to Jiangcheng was really unlucky. When he returned, he must go to the temple to pray and get rid of the bad luck.
Helpless, he punched the hospital wall with his good hand. The pain made him regain a bit of rationality in his anger.
He saw boxes scattered all over the corridor outside his clinic, and his rationality disappeared again.
He pointed at Diao Yi, so angry that he was completely speechless.
He wanted to shoot Diao Yi to death, but he didn't have many people available at hand, so he could only endure it for the time being.
He suppressed his anger and said, "These things are so important, who asked you to carry them to the hospital?
Hurry up and carry it to the hotel room!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Diao Yi realized that he had done something wrong and had no time to ask the doctor in the hospital to check his body. He had to direct those people to carry the things out of the hospital first.
Before going downstairs, Diao Yongting instructed Diao Yi: "Put the things in the room, then all of you come out. You guard the door. No one, remember, can be allowed in. Do you understand?"
Diao Yi nodded and left the hospital with a large group of people.
But he and Diao Yongting didn't know that those things had no chance of entering Diao Yongting's room in the hotel.
