Rebirth of the Flying Era

The next day, the weather was not very good, it was cloudy and damp, as if it was holding back heavy rain.

Du Fei and Zhu Ting boarded the boat early in the morning and slowly headed south along the Pearl River.

The ship is an old ro-ro ship, carrying both passengers and cargo.

However, in this era, there were not many people going to Xiangjiang through normal channels, and there were not many passengers on board.

Du Fei and Zhu Ting stood by the guardrail of the ship's side, looking at the scenery on the shore.

At this time, there were still many primitive scenery on both sides of the Pearl River.

Large tracts of mangroves extend from the shore into the water, and ripples appear on the water's edge from time to time, whether they are fish or otters.

It is less than two hundred kilometers from Guangzhou to Xiangjiang.

To leave it to posterity, it takes less than an hour by high-speed rail.

But this broken ship had to wander for six or seven hours.

Fortunately, Du Fei has been here for almost two years and has become accustomed to the slow pace of this era.

The wind blew for a while, then Du Fei pulled Zhu Ting: "Go back and sit inside, it's windy."

Zhu Ting said "hmm" all over, and there was nothing interesting about the unchanged scenery.

When they returned to the cabin, they didn't need to sit according to the ticket, so the two found a place in a corner.

Zhu Ting said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you yesterday..."

Thinking of Du Fei dragging her around last night, his cheeks turned red.

Du Fei asked as if nothing had happened. What did you forget to say?

Zhu Ting said: "Last night when I went to the club to give us the boat tickets, I mentioned that Uncle Liao might come to pick us up in person when we get to Xiangjiang."

Du Fei was stunned. The only person who could make Zhu Ting call her uncle was Liao!

Immediately, he thought of a person: "Uncle Liao? Could it be..."

Zhu Ting said "hmm", it was probably our dad who said hello.

Du Fei nodded, this is what is called someone in the court who is easy to be an official, and will not get a black eye wherever he goes.

Even if it can't help in any real way, sometimes a reminder or a hint can determine success or failure.

As for Zhu's father, he said that he would let them out for training and then leave them alone after leaving Beijing.

But for real, the road was paved in secret.

Du Fei asked: "Our father has a good relationship with Uncle Liao?"

Zhu Ting nodded: "Uncle Liao is our father's senior. He went to Toyo Waseda University in 2027, and our father went to the following year, in 2028."

Du Fei suddenly realized that this was the reason for the quarrel.

Zhu Ting continued: "Unfortunately, three months later, Uncle Liao was deported back to China because of his anti-Japanese remarks..."

The two of them exchanged words with each other, and before they knew it, it was already afternoon.

The river channel at the mouth of the Pearl River quickly opened up, and several large ships could be faintly seen in the distance heading towards the Xiangjiang River on the east bank.

Further forward, there are gradually some prosperous scenes.

However, Xiangjiang in this era has not yet reached its golden age of development, and there are not many high-rise buildings everywhere.

After waiting at the port for more than half an hour, the ship finally docked.

After some more procedures, we disembarked along the gangway.

The moment his feet hit the ground, Du Fei breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he looked relaxed along the way, he was very nervous.

Because this ship is too old, and it is a ro-ro ship with both passengers and cargo, this type of ship is most prone to accidents.

Fortunately, we landed safely, so congratulations.

Zhu Ting didn't feel anything. She followed the sign and walked outside while looking for the person to pick them up.

There were only a few people waiting outside the exit.

After walking out, Zhu Ting quickly saw an acquaintance and waved her hand a few times.

I also saw them over there and immediately came to greet them.

Two young people came, one in his thirties and the other in his twenties.

Zhu Ting smiled and said: "Secretary Wang, please excuse me, is Uncle Liao in good health?"

Secretary Wang smiled and said: "The director is very nice. I was going to come in person, but I received a call this morning and asked for a private meeting with the Hong Kong Governor."

After that, he shook hands with Du Fei and said, "You are Comrade Du Fei~"

After a brief exchange of greetings, a few people went outside and got into a black car.

At this time, the municipal construction of Xiangjiang was not much better than that of Beijing. The streets were cramped and there were many people and cars. It looked prosperous, but it could not hide the word "chaos".

Secretary Wang took Du Fei and Zhu Ting directly to a hotel next to the Xinh Society branch on Queen's Road.

The room has been opened. It is a suite with a reception room. Although the decoration is a bit old-fashioned, it is definitely not low-grade.

After helping Du Fei and Zhu Ting settle down, Secretary Wang left first.

Du Fei and Zhu Ting tidied up, and at five o'clock in the afternoon, Secretary Wang came over again and said that Director Liao had come back to see them.

Du Fei and Zhu Ting changed clothes.

As the saying goes, do as the Romans do, so Du Fei put on the suit Zhu Ting had prepared for him early in the morning.

Although the suit style is a bit old, it does not look out of place in Hong Kong.

Zhu Ting wore a floral and elegant dress, with her hair tied into a slightly higher ponytail. When walking on the street, it was not obvious that they had just come from the north in the morning.

Now that we are on the enemy's territory, the necessary disguise must be indispensable.

At least it saves some trouble.

Du Fei and Zhu Ting met Director Liao in a nearby tea restaurant.

There are a lot of people here, old men and women coming and going, as well as young and Dangerous guys with tattoos of dragons and tigers.

Director Liao sat in a window seat on the second floor, facing the street and could see the busy street below.

When she came to the front, Zhu Ting called "Uncle Liao" first.

Director Liao bowed and motioned for them to sit down. He looked like Du Fei again and said with a smile: "Du Fei! What a great young man! He is talented and handsome, not bad, not bad~"

Du Fei said politely, "Uncle, thank you very much."

At the same time, he was also sizing up Director Liao.

His skin is somewhat dark, and he looks like a southerner. He has a smile, very white teeth, and is very approachable.

He should be three or four years older than Zhu's father, and he will be sixty next year, but in real life he looks younger than his age.

Then Director Liao enthusiastically introduced several signature snacks of this tea restaurant, and also talked about some unrelated things.

I asked about Dui and Zhu Ting's work and life, Zhu's father and Zhu's mother's health, etc.

It wasn't until the end, when the time was almost over, that Director Liao mentioned: "I heard that before you guys came, Brother Jie Tai gave me eight words?"

Du Fei looked serious and nodded: "Uncle Liao, please give me some advice."

Director Liao waved his hand and said: "It's out of the question. Since brother Jie Tai asked you to come here, he believes in your ability and I believe in his vision. As for this..."

As he spoke, he looked at Secretary Wang, who was sitting aside and had been silent.

Secretary Wang immediately understood and took out a notebook from his briefcase and handed it to Du Fei.

Director Liao said: "This is what we have. Some specific situations in Xiangjiang should be useful to you."

Du Fei picked up the notebook, opened a page at random, took a look, and said hurriedly: "Thank you, Uncle Liao."

Director Liao shook his head and said: "Son, you don't have to thank me. This is basic information. The burden on your shoulders is very heavy this time! This is Brother Jie's trust in you. Unfortunately, I have to fly to Japan tomorrow... …”

Du Fei and Zhu Ting were stunned for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Director Liao was about to leave as soon as they arrived.

But after thinking about it, Du Fei realized that this was probably a deliberate attempt to avoid it.

Du Fei had previously concluded that this time there were two teams in Xiangjiang, one light and one dark.

He and Lin Tiansheng are the clear chess players, and the other group of dark chess players is the key. Director Liao obviously will not invest too much energy and resources on their side.

I guess seeing this today, plus this notebook, will be enough.

Du Fei had already anticipated this situation, so he didn't feel resentful.

On the contrary, Director Liao will go to Dongyang tomorrow, so it is good to take time to see them today.

Du Fei took the notebook and thanked him again, and was ready to end the meeting.

But at this moment, a broken Chinese voice suddenly came from the direction of the stairs: "Hey, Liao! What a coincidence, I met you here."

Director Liao looked back, with a professional smile on his face, and stood up to greet him: "Mr. Li De, it is indeed a coincidence."

Li De laughed and said, "In your words, this is called fate!"

Du Fei and Zhu Ting looked over and saw a tall foreigner, about 1.85 meters tall, chatting enthusiastically with Director Liao.

The faces of foreigners are different from those of Chinese people. Du Fei can't easily tell their age. Judging from the appearance of this person, he must be forty or fifty years old. He is very well-dressed and not an ordinary person.

Next to him was a muscular man wearing toad glasses. He was similar in height to Du Fei and had a military look. He should be a bodyguard.

"Liao, is this beautiful lady your friend?" After greetings, the foreigner looked at Du Fei and Zhu Ting.

Director Liao introduced: "This Comrade Zhu Ting is a new colleague from our new H agency, and this is his husband. This is Mr. Li De, the senior advisor to the Governor of Hong Kong and the hereditary lord of YG."

"Tom, Li De." Li De shook hands with Zhu Ting in a gentlemanly manner.

There was no motive to give a kiss on the hand.

He shook hands with Du Fei again and expressed his honor.

Du Fei couldn't help but look at the other party carefully.

Unexpectedly, on my first day here, I met a high-ranking figure in Xiangjiang.

Could it be such a coincidence?

Li De didn't stay long and left after exchanging pleasantries, as if it was just a normal encounter.

We found a table nearby and sat down to order.

Du Fei and the others got up and left.

When going down the stairs, Director Liao reminded: "This man is an old fox, you must be careful."

As for the specifics, Director Liao didn't say much. He had already arrived downstairs and got into the car outside.

Watching the car drive away, Du Fei and Zhu Ting prepared to cross the road and return to the hotel.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt as if someone was staring at him.

Du Fei closed his eyes slightly and thought.

On the roof of a building across the street, a few crows landed.

One of them is Xiao Hei!

Just after settling down, Du Fei found an opportunity to release the Crow Team and arrange them around.

At this moment, the field of vision synchronized to Xiao Hei's side, and he happened to see Mr. Li De, who he met just now, looking down on the second floor of the tea restaurant.

His eyes just fell on Du Fei.

Du Fei withdrew his sight and did not look up. As if he didn't notice it, he crossed the street with Zhu Ting and returned to the hotel across the street.

When she returned to the room, Zhu Ting was a little frustrated: "Uncle Liao actually wants to go east!"

Du Fei sat down on the sofa, opened the notes given by Director Liao just now, and said with a smile: "Otherwise? Do you still expect him to help us?"

Zhu Ting said "Alas".

In fact, she knew that even if Director Liao didn't leave, it wouldn't be of much help to them.

But there is always some luck in my heart.

Zhuan asked again: "Then what should we do next?"

Du Fei looked at the notes without raising his head: "Wait~ I have already passed the news through Brother Daming before. Let's see what the attitude of the clan's surnames is first."

Zhu Ting frowned and said, "Just wait here?"

Du Fei raised his head, smiled and said: "What else? They are asking us for help now, so we can't just rush over~ We are both young to begin with, if we don't be more careful, wouldn't it make people think we are Very easy to handle.”

Before long, it was already dark.

The top floor of a luxury hotel next to Victoria Bay.

In a huge suite, Mr. Li De, who had just met Du Fei during the day, was holding a glass of whiskey and standing by the window looking at the night view of the bay in ecstasy.

At this moment, the bedroom door opened from the inside.

A foreign young man who had just finished taking a shower walked out and while wiping his hair, he complained: "Uncle Tom, it's not a gentleman to come to the door at this time."

Mr. Li De turned back and raised his hand to look at his watch: "If there is nothing wrong with my watch, it is only seven o'clock now, my Mr. Dai."

The young man threw the towel on the sofa next to him, picked up the wine bottle and poured himself a glass: "Of course, for a young man, time at night is the most precious, isn't it?"

Mr. Reed frowned: "Vincent, I think your father and your uncle must regret sending you to the United States. At least I remember that you were still a gentleman before you were sixteen."

Vincent Dai Zhilin smiled cynically, raised his glass and said "cheers" to Mr. Li De.

And his uncle is the current Governor of Hong Kong.

Li De couldn't do anything about this close friend's nephew, and he was secretly glad that he didn't send the child away in the first place.

Vincent felt good about himself, swayed the amber whiskey in the glass, and asked: "Have you met our opponent?"

Li De was so rested that he no longer thought about anything, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, they are with Liao, they are very young."

Vincent smiled and said: "I heard that there is an oriental beauty, right?"

Li De was speechless. If it weren't for some bullshit aristocratic demeanor, he would have cursed his mother.

"Vincent! If you think I'm disturbing you, then I can leave immediately." Li De's tone was calm, but his eyes were firm. He was already angry.

Vincent curled his lips indifferently: "Okay, okay~ Sir, I apologize to you."

Li De said seriously: "I have said more than once that this is not a game! Our opponents are the Chinese. Everyone who has underestimated them in the past twenty years has paid a heavy price, including the once great MacArthur! I don't want We’re next, understand?”

When it came to MacArthur, Vincent finally put away his cynicism.

He said seriously: "Sorry, Uncle Tom, I just... damn, you know, I don't want to come at all."
