Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

Hu Zhenhua was still sleeping on the sofa when he was suddenly woken up by the slap!

The man who came was very violent and didn't care about Lao Hu's identity at all.

You can tell from the strength he uses that he is very anxious!

Hu Zhenhua opened his eyes and found himself lying on the sofa in the hall. Liu Lu was right next to him, sleeping soundly.

He looked at the gold watch on his hand, puzzled.

"It's not even 10 o'clock yet, why are you guys going crazy?"

The crowd grew larger and larger, surrounding Hu Zhenhua. One of them lost his temper and shouted,

"Mr. Hu, do you know that Gu Shun ran away?"

Hu Zhenhua was a little dazed and asked unconsciously,

"Run, where to run?"

"Last night, he disappeared right after sending Mr. Qian to the hospital. This morning, I received a telegram saying someone saw Gu Shun out to sea. Now, all the money we invested has been taken away by him!"

Hu Zhenhua was stunned and didn't react for a long time!

"Hu, you said you would guarantee Gu Shun, but now he's gone. We have no choice but to settle the score with you!"

Liu Lu had also woken up. Seeing that she was surrounded by people, she was a little scared and held Hu Zhenhua's arm tightly.

Hu Zhenhua rubbed his brows and saw that everyone was making a lot of noise. He shouted,

"Quiet!"

He leaned on the sofa, muttering to himself,

"Leave me alone!"

After organizing his thoughts for a while, he suddenly looked at Liu Lu with a terrifying light and shouted,

"What benefits did Gu Shun give you to get close to me?"

Liu Lu panicked and spoke vaguely.

"no no!"

Hu Zhenhua suddenly shouted,

"to be frank!"

Liu Lu was frightened and shuddered, spilling all the beans.

"Mr. Gu said that if we get together, he'll give me a villa as a dowry. It's right on Huxi Road!"

Hu Zhenhua was furious and raised his arm to hit her.

Liu Lu was horrified and held her head and cried softly, but she waited for a long time and the slap she imagined did not fall. She took a quick look and saw that Hu Zhenhua had already sat back with a flushed face!

Suddenly, he kicked over the coffee table next to him and yelled,

"Gu, I'm not done with you!"

The crowd didn't care whether Hu Zhenhua was deceived or not, they still surrounded him.

"The one with the surname Hu..."

Hu Zhenhua's eyes were red as he roared,

"What are you all arguing about? Even if Gu Shun runs away, I'm still here! It's just a few million dollars, their company can afford it!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, an arrogant voice came from outside.

"Chairman Hu, the compensation you have to pay isn't just a few million, it's tens of millions! Don't forget, it's ten times the compensation!"

It was Master Qian who came. He ignored Hu Zhenhua's murderous gaze, walked up to Liu Lu, squatted down, and stroked her hair.

"Miss Liu, don't be afraid. If Hu dares to touch a hair on your head, I'll make him pay for it! From now on, you must be obedient!"

Liu Lu glanced at Hu Zhenhua and quickly lowered her head.

When Mr. Qian saw that Liu Lu did not respond, he felt embarrassed and slapped her head lightly.

"You stinky bitch, I'm talking to you!"

Seeing that Liu Lu still had no reaction, he became more excited and whipped her harder!

Hu Zhenhua couldn't bear it any longer and shouted,

"Miss Liu, come behind me!"

Liu Lu cried with joy when she heard this. She quickly got up and hid behind Hu Zhenhua, pulling at his clothes and sobbing,

“Sir, I really didn’t know Gu Shun was going to trick you!”

Hu Zhenhua was impatient and pushed her away.

"Well, I'm not like some beasts who take it out on women whenever they have something wrong!"

Young Master Qian was furious and wanted to rush over for a fight, but when he thought of what happened last night, he was a little afraid.

Suddenly, he tutted his tongue and said sarcastically,

"Other people who fell into the honey trap at least enjoyed themselves, but some people are miserable! They just slept on the sofa all night, hahahahaha!"

Most people laughed when they heard this.

They looked at Hu Zhenhua with strange eyes.

At this moment, Hu Zhenhua had countless nicknames, but they could be summed up in three words: big villain!

Hu Zhenhua snorted coldly and sat down on the sofa again.

"Don't you want to pay ten to one? Fine, I'll take Gu Shun's unfinished bet! Mr. Qian, if you're not convinced, you can continue to bet. I'll take whatever amount you bet!"

Mr. Qian laughed so hard that he fell backwards.

"You fool, if you want to do what you want, I'll bet you 20 yuan!"

Hu Zhenhua grinned.

"You lost 300,000 yesterday and bet another 200,000 today. Do you have that much money?"

"Don't worry about that. I'll give you the same question again. If you lose, can you afford to pay for it?"

Hu Zhenhua laughed heartily.

"How about this? If I lose, I'll give you the land on Irian Island for three dollars an acre?"

Master Qian was overjoyed and shouted,

"No, two!"

"Two dollars is two dollars!"

Mr. Qian suddenly stared at Hu Zhenhua, and then he added another condition.

"You cannot leave Jinyunshan Club until the bet is concluded!"

Everyone agreed with this. If Hu Zhenhua ran away again, they would have no place to cry.

You can't fall in the same place twice!

Hu Zhenhua's face flushed red, and he was obviously extremely angry. After a moment, he uttered two words from between his teeth.

"can!"

Mr. Qian wrote another check. Hu Zhenhua watched his movements and shouted,

"I only want dollars, gold, and foreign currency! Nothing else!"

Hu Zhenhua glanced at Liu Lu and said, "Ms. Liu, bring me yesterday's check. I want to cash it immediately!"

Mr. Qian snorted coldly.

"Okay, I'll send you the money right away. I bet that within three days, the river defenses won't be lost! Let's make a deal now!"

Hu Zhenhua snorted coldly.

"Don't even think about it if you don't see the real money!"

He was a little puzzled. Why didn't the Qian guy anymore bet on the war starting at midnight?

The others were also whispering to each other, and after a while, someone else joined in the betting.

"Let me join in the fun! Let's have fun, 100,000 yuan!"

After saying that, he picked up the phone next to him and asked someone to send money.

After finishing the call, he came to Hu Zhenhua and said with a smile,

"Mr. Hu, let's make a contract first. If my cash doesn't arrive within an hour, the agreement will be void. How do you do that?"

Hu Zhenhua frowned and thought for a while, then said,

"Then please ask a few senior members of the Executive Committee to be witnesses!"

His question was answered immediately.

"The seniors are still hungover, so I'm afraid they can't bear witness for you!"

Hu Zhenhua fell silent.

Those guys were forced to drink half a bottle of wine early in the morning. It would be strange if they could wake up!

Mr. Qian was very anxious and shouted,

"We are both people of status, how can we deny your debt?"

Although this guy is hateful, what he said does make some sense.

"Okay, make a covenant!"

Hu Zhenhua was secretly delighted. This Mr. Qian was really his lucky star. They played in perfect harmony.

In just a quarter of an hour, Hu Zhenhua received more than 20 bets, all of which were betting that the river defense would not be lost within three days!

Of course, these three days start from 4:21 on April st.

When the last contract was completed, a familiar figure rushed in. He had a dark face and shouted,

"Yan Jiehe, get out here! You dare to block my way? Are you tired of living?"

Hu Zhenhua looked closely and saw that it was Qi Shuhuan, the director's secretary. He quickly stood up and went to greet him.

"Brother Qi, why are you here?"

Qi Shuhuan nodded to Lao Hu and continued to shout,

"Yan Jiehe! Get out here!"

At this time, a weak voice sounded,

"Secretary Qi, Mr. Yan is still hungover. What do you want to see him about?"

Yan Jiehe is the person in charge of security in the Executive Committee.

Qi Suheng looked at Hu Zhenhua, saw him nod, and shouted,

"Excuse me, who ordered me to be stopped outside the manor for a quarter of an hour? Also, I called Hu Zhenhua, why are you guys constantly making excuses?"

Seeing that no one spoke, Qi Shuhuan threatened,

"Have you forgotten what the Secret Service does? If you don't tell me, how can I find out?"

Seeing that Qi Shuhuan was really angry, Master Qian stepped forward.

"Brother Qi, I think some fool is playing a joke on you. Don't take it to heart. I'll get back to you..."

Qi Shuhuan stared at him,

"So it was you who did it!"

"Brother Qi, don't misunderstand!"

Qi Suheng slapped Master Qian in the face, leaving him with a beating, and then he punched and kicked him.

A bodyguard rushed over, pushed Qi Shuhuan away, and shouted,

"Do you know who our young master is?"

Qi Shuhuan was tired from fighting, panting heavily, and shouted,

"Shot dead!"

Two guards rushed in and dragged the bodyguard out. A moment later, two crisp gunshots rang out.

Everyone then realized that Qi Shuhuan was really angry!

Master Qian was furious, he slowly got up from the ground and shouted,

"Qi Shuhuan, you're just a secretary, don't be so shameless!"

Hu Zhenhua already roughly understood what was going on.

These guys probably wanted to trick him into signing a treaty and deliberately delay Qi Shuhuan.

What exactly happened?

Could it be the Spark Project?

Hu Zhenhua's heart skipped a beat. From yesterday evening until now, he hadn't had time to listen to the radio.

Lao Hu pinched his chin and thought for a moment: Could it be that the Amethyst incident broke out?

Calculating the time, it’s almost time.

In fact, in February this year, the Kuomintang and the Communist Party issued separate statements demanding that foreign ships evacuate the Yangtze River and not stay. Even the American ships left, but only the British ships remained in Nanjing and continued to rotate.

It was this arrogant attitude that allowed the director to see the possibility of realizing the Spark Project.

Otherwise, how could Hu Zhenhua's deception impress the old spy?

After Qi Shuhuan had given Master Qian another beating, he waved to Hu Zhenhua.

"Come with me!"

Hu Zhenhua hesitated for a moment, pulled Qi Shuhuan aside, and asked in a low voice,

"Brother Qi, what exactly happened?"

"I don't know, it's the director who's looking for you!"

Hu Zhenhua thought for a moment and asked,

"Is there anything special happening today?"

Qi Shuhuan looked around and said in a low voice,

At 8:30 a.m., the British warship HMS Amethyst approached the river surface at Sanjiangying, south of Yangzhou, where the 8rd Artillery Regiment of the 3th Corps of the Communist Army was stationed. They fired warning shots, but the Amethyst did not return or stop. Instead, it continued to accelerate upstream, and an artillery exchange broke out between the two sides. After several minutes of fighting, the Amethyst's bridge was directly hit, and both the captain and the deputy captain were seriously injured. The forward main gun was destroyed, and the hull was penetrated. The Amethyst turned to the south bank, then ran aground on a shoal and hoisted the white flag!

Upon hearing this, Hu Zhenhua was silent for a long time.

"Brother, let's go. Is the director still waiting there?"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"Brother Qi, I won't go. Please reply to the director. My advice is: don't do anything for now!"

Qi Shuhuan took two steps back, clicked his tongue, and said teasingly,

"Brother, you've become so bold that you even dare to refuse the director's summons!"

A trace of sadness appeared on Hu Zhenhua's face.

"Brother Qi, do you know why they stopped you just now?"

"why?"

After Hu Zhenhua briefly introduced his experiences from last night to today, Qi Shuhuan stared at him.

"Why do you think the river defenses will be lost within three days?"

Hu Zhenhua opened his mouth.

Shouldn't you sympathize with me for being deceived by Gu Shun?

Shouldn't I be angry about being intercepted?

Why are you suddenly paying attention to Jiang Fang?

Hu Zhenhua swallowed his saliva and said,

"Brother Qi, have you forgotten that I participated in the conscription... the conscription of soldiers? How could those peasants who couldn't even hold a gun steadily fight?"

Qi Shuhuan suddenly made a move, kicked Lao Hu in the buttocks, and shouted,

"You can't just gamble on something like this! Be careful or you'll be charged with disrupting military morale!"

"Well, I'm at a loss now, so I have to make some of it back!"

Qi Shuhuan kicked him again.

"You're so obsessed with money! Come on, let's go see the director!"

Hu Zhenhua was really reluctant to part with the three million dollars. He rolled his eyes and said,

"Brother Qi, give me five minutes!"

At this time, we can only rely on Liu Lu, the socialite.

Old Hu gave her some instructions and asked her to help him collect the money.

Seeing that Hu Zhenhua did not blame her but instead entrusted her with an important task, the beautiful Liu was naturally willing to do it.

The dream of becoming a wealthy wife that had been extinguished in her heart was rekindled.

In order to prevent any accidents, Hu Zhenhua kept Qu Xiaodou to help her.
