That night.
At the entrance of the underground vault of Zhengjin Bank Shanghai Branch, general manager Mitsuhiko Saito inserted three special keys into the heavy vault door, and then turned the combination lock.
"Okay, everyone, please come in."
As Saito Mitsuhiko's words fell, the commander of the salt field outside the door, Hideo Shimura, and the newly appointed Consul General Taro Okamoto walked inside with a group of guards.
At Mitsuhiko Saito's signal, the guards pushed open the door of the vault, revealing a pile of neatly arranged gold inside.
Different from the standard gold brick that Lu Feng got from the safe of Kikuno Martial Arts Club, the gold here comes in many sizes and specifications, from finger-sized gold bars to large pieces of gold nuggets.
Everything you need.
For a moment, everyone had the illusion that they could not open their eyes due to the golden light.
But the illusion was an illusion after all. The few people looked at each other, and then walked into the vault together.
“There are a total of thirteen tons of gold here, which is the precious wealth that our Zhengjin Bank has collected from the Jianghuai River Basin this year.
In addition, there are two boxes of valuable cultural relics and handicrafts. Every item inside is a priceless treasure. I hope Commander Yantian can safely send them to the mainland. "
Compared to others, Saito Mitsuhiko was used to this kind of gold and silver scene. He asked the commander of the salt field in a calm tone.
"General Manager Saito, please rest assured. This is not the first time I have done this kind of work. I assure you that the transportation will go smoothly this time."
"That would be perfect."
After a pause, Saito Mitsuhiko said again:
"So, let's do the inventory handover."
"Okay, let's get started."
Commander Yantian nodded, and then the guards began to bring in ammunition boxes one by one from outside.
But after opening it, you can see that these ammunition boxes are empty.
The guards began to put the pile of gold in the vault into ammunition boxes one by one. After packing them according to the standard of about 50 kilograms per box, they sealed and numbered the boxes.
Commander Yantian and others supervised the entire process.
After all, the packing work of thirteen tons of gold could not be completed in a short time. After the initial shock brought by Jinshan subsided, for a long time, Commander Yantian and the others only felt Got boring and boring.
But no one dared to relax their nerves.
It wasn't until more than two hundred ammunition boxes were sealed that Commander Yantian finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Then there are the two boxes of valuable cultural relics. These items also have complete lists. Commander Yantian only needs to compare them.
In the two large boxes, there were nearly three hundred pieces of jade, jewelry and other items, which were even more dazzling than the pile of gold.
Commander Yantian looked at it with fiery eyes, but he knew that these things were not within his reach.
As early as when they were put into the warehouse, their destinations had already been decided by the nobles in the country, the most important one being the royal family, so no matter how jealous the Yantian Commander was, he would not dare to reach out to them.
After confirming that the items were handed over correctly, Commander Shiota and Mitsuhiko Saito signed their names on their respective documents, and then exchanged documents.
Commander Yantian directly handed the document signed by Mitsuhiko Saito to Hideo Shimura on the side.
Tomorrow morning, Shimura Hideo will take this list and return to Japan by ship.
This was also the last mission he received before being tried by the military and political authorities.
Witnessed by the three parties, these items in the Zhengjin Bank vault were handed over to the naval department of Commander Yantian.
Later, the guards loaded more than two hundred boxes of ammunition and the two boxes of treasures into the truck parked on the ground.
The time was already one or two o'clock in the morning.
The streets were deserted.
It can't be said that there is no one at all. Secret service personnel in ordinary clothes are lurking in the shadows around Zhengjin Bank, guarding against the appearance of any suspicious persons.
Five trucks, under the care of an escort team composed of Japanese armored vehicles and motorcycles, left Zhengjin Bank and drove into the port where the Japanese Navy was stationed.
Subsequently, the cargo in the truck was unloaded to the navy's ammunition warehouse just like ordinary ammunition, rather than being loaded into the cabin of the "Yayai".
After unloading, the trucks and the armed teams escorting them left the dock and went back.
The pier was calm again.
Lu Feng was awakened by a burst of noise.
Looking at his pocket watch, it was already past seven in the morning.
Last night, after he successfully sneaked into the hiding place from the bottom of the water according to the route he had explored before, he sent a message to Duan Haiping.
Then the radio station began to enter a silent state and would not be restarted until the Yayoi departed.
Lu Feng just huddled in this gap and slept all night.
It feels slightly cold.
The sound vibration transmission effect of metal objects is very good, so even through thick steel walls, Lu Feng could easily hear the large set of footsteps coming from the deck.
Not long after, the lights in the passage went out, and Lu Feng fell into a dark environment. Only a faint light seemed to shine in from the height of the chimney above his head.
Listening to the footsteps coming and going around him, Lu Feng couldn't figure out what the situation was now.
After thinking about it, he carefully climbed up to a high place using his hands and feet, and found the light-transmitting place.
This is a circle of double-layered blinds, which should be used to cool down the chimney. Now it can barely be used as a window for Lu Feng to observe the outside situation.
Through the narrow gap, Lu Feng looked around and was basically sure that the ship was about to move.
Dozens of crew members had already begun carrying various supplies from the gangway to the ship, and Lu Feng was awakened by their movements.
After observing the situation for a while, Lu Feng turned his attention to the southwest, where his safe house was located at the abandoned dock.
The killer last night made Lu Feng worry about Yu Manli's safety, so he took Yu Manli on a ride back to Shanghai last night.
After returning, Lu Feng placed her in his safe house and told her to stay there for the next two days and not to wander around.
I don’t know if this girl is used to staying around.
This time, I owe her something. When the matter is finished, I will...
Ah, bah, the bastard is planting flags again!
"Boom~"
And with a roar, the Yayoi's engine also began to run, and a huge vibration came along with the noisy sound, directly interrupting all Lu Feng's thoughts.
The lights in the passage also turned on again.
Feeling the rising temperature of the chimney pipe behind him, Lu Feng knew that he probably wouldn't have to worry about catching a cold next.
