Chapter 68

The Tianchang Festival to celebrate the birthday of the Emperor of Japan was held in Shanghai Hongkou Park in the Japanese Concession. Except for a few invited senior government officials, the entire Hongkou Park was blocked that day, and only Japanese and North Koreans were allowed in and out.

Lin Ruomeng attended the meeting with his father, Lin Daoshan, and when he reached the door, all the attendants were asked to wait outside the park. Qi Fei couldn’t follow. “Our master is the Minister of Economy. How can his personal safety be protected?”

“This gentleman joked. Minister Lin is my Japanese guest, how can no one protect his safety.” Limoto was notified in the future and came out to receive Lin Ruomeng and his party in person. Luo Fusheng followed behind her, and did not make any eye contact with Lin Ruomeng.

Instead, Lin Daoshan took a deep look at him. He had long heard that Luo Fusheng was approaching the Japanese princess. Not seeing it with his own eyes, he will not believe it.

“Come on, follow Minister Lin and Miss Lin. Stay true to each other. Be sure to ensure their safety.” In the future, Limoto will bite the words very seriously, and four Japanese soldiers immediately surrounded him and stood behind Lin Daoshan. .

Qi Fei was furious and wanted to argue, but was stopped by Lin Daoshan. “Qi Fei! Wait here. His Royal Highness Liben’s site is the safest place in Shanghai. What should we worry about?”

“Director Lin has a good reputation.” Limoto smiled and led them inside.

In addition to the main podium, there are two seats with canvas canopies on the left and right sides. A large open space in the middle is the playground for the military parade. Asian culture respects the left, and today all Japanese officers in China will come to participate in the Tianchang Festival. Lin Daoshan acquiesced that they would assign the seat on the left to the Japanese officer and walked to the right on their own, but was stopped by Miku Riya.

“Director Lin, this way.” She made a please gesture and pointed to the seat on the left.

Although Lin Daoshan was a little surprised, he didn’t say anything, and followed Limoto to sit on the left seat.

Shirakawa Yoshihide attended the meeting with many Japanese military and political officials. They sat on the seat on the right opposite to Lindau Mountain. Nashimoto Miku also went to talk to them. Among them, Lin Daoshan knew only the Japanese Foreign Minister Shige Mitsu, as well as the commander of the Third Fleet of the Navy Nomura Saburo and the commander of the Ninth Division Ueda Matsuyoshi. They were all opponents who killed countless Chinese compatriots in the previous battle of Songhu.

It is reasonable that Lin Daoshan shouldn’t attend such an occasion, but the officer in Nanjing now only seeks to maintain stability to clear the internal troubles, and does not care about the anger of the people.

The ceremony had not yet begun, when Lin Daoshan saw Luo Fusheng got up and left the seat. Turned his head and said to Lin Ruomeng. “Ruomeng, Dad, go to Xijian. You are waiting for me here, don’t run around .”

“Okay. Dad, I’m not a kid anymore.” Lin Ruomeng laughed at him too nervously.

As soon as Lin Daoshan moved, the two Japanese soldiers followed. He let them follow, and when they reached the gate of Xijian, he stopped. “I’m going to clean my hands, so you don’t want to follow.”

The two Japanese soldiers could understand Chinese, responded and stood by the door.

As soon as Lin Daoshan went in and saw Luo Fusheng going out, he blocked his way. Confirm that no one has spoken in the compartment. “Luo Fusheng, what can’t you do to get involved with the Japanese?”

“Uncle, this is not a place to talk. I’ll talk about something later.” Luo Fusheng tried to push him away, but he was caught.

“Before, because of Ruomeng’s mother, I didn’t bother to care too much. But now the truth is clear, I owe your father my life. I can’t watch his son fall like this. Son, look back.”

“Uncle, everyone has his own life. I don’t care about the family and the world, Limoto saved my life and took me in when I was most difficult. Otherwise, I would have died on the street.”

“You are confused! Don’t care about what is family, country, and the world, living in this chaotic world, who of us can live without these four words? I don’t ask you to kill the enemy and Yuguo, at least don’t help you. I can see Ruomeng likes you very much. If you want, I can even host your wedding for you. Even if you don’t go back to Hongbang, you can still get a good job in Lin’s business.”

Luo Fusheng ran into the West Room and retched because he was extremely unwell. Before he got over, he was caught by Lin Daoshan and said something. There was a cold sweat behind him, and his face became impatient. There was a slight footstep outside, and he threw away Lin Daoshan’s hand in time.

“Uncle, sorry. I have no interest in Miss Lin.” After speaking, he hurried out. Before he went far, he hit the Miku Rashimoto.

“Why are you leaving in such a hurry?” Liben held onto Luo Fusheng’s vain footsteps in the future, seeing him in a cold sweat. “Did it happen?”

Luo Fusheng nodded, and had no strength to speak.

Nashimoto held him on the bench to one side and took out the syringe from his handbag. As the needle pierced into the arm, the intense pain immediately disappeared without a trace. “What is my disease?”

“Don’t worry. It’s just that the drugs used in the last operation showed drug dependence.” In the future, Limoto took out a handkerchief and wiped off the sweat from his forehead. Lin Daoshan passed by and saw their faces pale.

He didn’t look so good until he returned to the seat. He saw Xu Xingcheng also coming, and sat next to his daughter to talk. His face is even more ugly.

“Father, what’s the matter? Is the sun too uncomfortable?”

“It’s okay.” Lin Daoshan patted the back of her hand, feeling distressed for her daughter.

At ten o’clock, the ceremony began. First is the military parade. Although they lost the war, when the armistice agreement was signed, the Japanese side took advantage. So now I am still triumphant and show off in China.

Next, Matsuyoshi Ueda and Shige Mitsuho came to the stage to deliver speeches. The speeches had the same general meaning, that is, Japan’s aggressive plan is imperative, is the only way for human evolution, and is a legitimate need for reasonable expansion.

The Chinese officials in the audience felt uncomfortable. Only when Xu Xingcheng gave a speech on behalf of the Nineteenth Army, he happily expressed the Nanjing Chief’s congratulations on the birthday of the Emperor of Japan. As a sign of sincerity, even promised that the 19th Army would withdraw from Shanghai and that there would no longer be any regular government troops stationed in the Shanghai area.

Commander-in-chief Shirakawa Yoshihide listened to Dayue and became brothers with Xu Xingcheng.

When it was Lin Daoshan’s turn to take the stage, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly became tense. Lin Ruomeng followed him to get up.

Limoto sat up straight and stared at Luo Fusheng beside him. Seeing that he did not respond, there was a hint of joy in my heart.

According to a report brought back by Xu Xingcheng’s eyeliner, the Communist Party planted a bomb under the seat on the left. But their real arrangement was for Shirakawa Yoshi and other officers to sit on the right. The same goes for the information in the letter to Luo Fusheng. Just to test his loyalty with this information. He passed the test, and the intelligence obtained by the Communist Party was not revealed from Luo Fusheng.

The Communist Party will contact Luo Fusheng to win him, and Liben is not surprised. However, according to Eyeliner’s return, Luo Fusheng refused to participate in the Communist Party’s actions because of his disobedience. This is in line with his character.

Before the ceremony, they checked all the seats and only found a small amount of gunpowder under the left seat. Uncle said it was going to be demolished, but Limoto advocated keeping it. This will not only prevent them from getting rid of the trouble, but also allow them to suffer. They kept the Chinese and North Korean officials on the left side.

Lin Daoshan simply said a few words hoping for peace between China and Japan and stepped down. Nothing happened during that period. Nashimoto frowned. This is not the same as planned.

Someone next to her pushed her, it was uncle. “In the future, Commander Shirakawa will ask you to come on stage to present awards.”

As a clan of the imperial family, Nashimoto Miku was specially invited to present honors to Japanese officers who made military merits during the Battle of Songhu, and to express greetings on behalf of the Emperor.

She saw Shirakawa Yoshihide beckoning to her. Smiled and got up and bowed in all directions, then said to Luo Fusheng: “Come on stage with me.”

“I’m afraid this is not appropriate.” He Yang Zhenwu was speaking.

“He is now my personal bodyguard, there is nothing inappropriate.” Luo Fusheng didn’t say anything, and followed her to the stage. At the same time, Lin Ruomeng was stepping down. She was at the end, and looked at Luo Fusheng across the rostrum.

On the stage, several of the most important Japanese military officers lined up to wait for the award from Nashimoto Miku. Shirakawa Yoshihide delivered the final speech. With thunderous applause, more than 10,000 Japanese soldiers and Japanese overseas Chinese sang the Japanese national anthem with excitement while waving the small Japanese flag in their hands.

Hearing a loud bang, flesh and blood flew all over the place. Shirakawa, who was in the middle of the explosion, turned into a blood man lying on the ground. The heavy light step closest to him was also thrown into the sky by the shock wave of the explosion, and then slammed on the rostrum. Someone in the crowd was screaming. Nashimoto looked back and saw two military kettles thrown up in the sky. The bomb that just exploded was hidden in a kettle and dropped onto the stage.

“Grab them!” Limoto pointed to the three young people in the crowd who threw a kettle at the ceremony stand. Before the words fell, the second and third bombs had already fallen on the stage.

Lin Ruomeng, who had just left the ceremony stand, felt a violent shock wave behind her pushed her, and a hand held her next to her. The two fell to the ground together, and the man blocked her.

Two explosions sounded one after another, the ceremony platform collapsed, and the entire ground was shaken. The sound of the explosion was mixed with gunshots and crying, and the air was filled with a strong smell of gunpowder and even suppressed the smell of blood on the stage.

Lin Ruomeng was pressed tightly in the dust, it was Xu Xingcheng. “Ruomeng, are you okay?”

She lifted her head from the dust and looked at the other side. Luo Fusheng also guarded Limoto Mirai in the same posture, his head covered with blood. Rashimoto Miku’s head hit the stairs and seemed to have passed out. He picked her up sideways and handed it to the guards.

The soldiers Xu Xingcheng had brought in immediately surrounded them and protected them from walking out. Lin Daoshan was not far away, surrounded by the Japanese soldiers. Seeing them coming through the hustle and bustle, he anxiously held Lin Ruomeng. Check up and down. “Is the nun injured?”

“No. Dad.”

“It’s too dangerous here. We need to get out as soon as possible.” Under the cover of guards, Xu Xingcheng led the Lin Daoshan Father and Daughter Park outside.

Lin Ruomeng’s eyes were still searching for the familiar figure in the crowd. There are too many people, everyone is running wildly, can’t see who is who. At this time, the ears are more sensitive.

There were several gunshots from the podium behind him. Looking back subconsciously, she seemed to see a familiar tall figure standing on the stage in the flying dust. But it was gone for a while

She knew that Luo Fusheng was completing the last step of the assassination plan. This is their real plan.

[That day, in Huang Xinghan’s study.

Huang Xinghan concealed the door, leaving a gap deliberately. “Ruomeng, I must tell you one thing clearly. Duan Tianci is an eyeliner sent by someone.”

It was originally from Wang’s Ma that once mentioned that Duan Tianci went out to buy vegetables every day, but he could always get the money back. Huang Xinghan kept an eye on it.

During the war, prices soared, and the price of rice even tripled in Shanghai. The vegetables and fruits that Duan Tianci bought are fresh and good, not cheap.

He sent someone to follow Duan Tianci to discover that he had never been to buy vegetables, and every time he went out to buy vegetables, he always went to meet people.

“Although I haven’t found out who the person connected with him is? But at this point, the most likely person is the Japanese.”

Although Lin Ruomeng didn’t want to believe it, she still accepted the reality immediately. “Then why does Mr. Huang want to keep him in the house? But have other ideas?”

“Yes. The letter Luo Fusheng entrusted you to bring, our people have verified that the information is basically true. But it does not rule out that the Japanese are setting a trap to lead us into the game. So we contacted the North Korean “Luotai” patriotic organization, and they Sending someone to bring the bomb into Hongkou Park is the safest way to artificially control the bomb and the timing. But to be on the safe side, someone on our side is responsible for “mending the knife” and thoroughly cleaning out the officers who were not killed by the bomb. And this person It’s Luo Fusheng…”

Lin Ruomeng squeezed the skirt tightly. “Did he agree?”

“Ok.”

“Then I want to go too!”

“Ruomeng, don’t be arrogant!”

“I won’t. My dad will also go to the scene. I can handle emergencies on the fly.”

“Okay. Then you should be careful about everything. We put a fake bomb under the left seat where you are sitting. After a while, Duan Tianshen will listen to the wall, and we will say that…”

Duan Tianci left the small hall, Wang Ma put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked at his back. There was a dark shadow at the entrance of the study. Huang Xinghan and Lin Ruomeng looked at each other tacitly, and confronted each other as if they were acting.

Sure enough, false information reached Limoto Mirai’s ears, bewildering her judgment. Let her temporarily believe in Luo Fusheng’s loyalty. Smoothly helped Luo Fusheng to enter the Hongkou Park, even to the place closest to the ceremony platform.

The time and place are right, and the next thing is fate.

My life is up to me.

“Bang, bang, bang…” Luo Fusheng’s gunshots were not noticeable among the endless gunshots around.

Matsuyoshi Ueda, who was blinded by the blow, lost a heavy light step with one leg. Saburo Nomura, who escaped from the ceremony stand in time, saw the same bloody face at the last moment of his life.

That is Yan Luo’s face.
