"Oh, that's a good thing." Fan Keqin smiled and reached out to take it. The background of the cover showed an American Statue of Liberty, and below the Statue of Liberty, there was the back of a woman wearing a Chinese cheongsam. . The overall feeling is a little lonely, but also a little strong. Next to the woman is printed the title "Diary of a Beautiful Girl", and below is the author's signature: "Lu Xiaoya"
Fan Keqin looked back and forth for a while and praised: "Well, the printing is good. It was published the day before yesterday? How is it? How is the result?"
Lu Xiaoya said with a smile: "I don't know yet. I have to wait for a while to report it and see if it sells well. But I don't think it will be too good. After all, this is my debut novel, and it is all about zeroes." Trivial things. Not many people would be interested."
Fan Keqin firmly disagreed with her words and said: "That's not necessarily true. Look, this sentence on the title page was added by the publishing house for publicity, right? The real experience of a beautiful writer. Tsk tsk tsk, it must be easy to sell!" Anyway, if I see it, I have to buy a copy and keep it home."
After hearing this, Lu Xiaoya smiled and hit him on the shoulder, saying: "I know you will coax me. But I hope it is true. When the royalties are paid, I want to buy you a gift."
"Just treat me to a meal. No need for gifts." Fan Keqin said, "Oh, I will study the issue of where to eat from now on."
Lu Xiaoya smiled and said: "If you want to eat, you also need gifts. You even gave me a gift." As he said this, he raised his hand and flashed the jade bracelet.
"What's the relationship between the two of us?" Fan Keqin said cheerfully: "It will work out, then I'm looking forward to it."
As soon as the two of them said this, Fan Keqin suddenly noticed that the ground shook slightly, followed by a "bang" sound that came from afar.
Before everyone could react, the sound of "Boom! Boom!" was heard one after another. The ground also kept shaking.
As early as the first sound, Fan Keqin pressed Lu Xiaoya on the sofa, followed him and bent down, lying on Lu Xiaoya's back.
I don't know how long it will take, maybe a few seconds, maybe tens of minutes. After the continuous shaking stopped, Fan Keqin immediately pulled Lu Xiaoya up and said, "How are you? Are you scared?"
Lu Xiaoya was indeed a little scared, her face turned pale, and she said, "Is this...an earthquake?"
Fan Keqin squinted his eyes and said, "This is the sound of an explosion. Don't be afraid. It's quite far away from here. It should be outside the southwest city." He followed with a bit of reluctance and said, "Xiaoya, I... my eldest brother-in-law and the others You have to go back to the intelligence office. Why don't you and Uncle Lu come back with me? There are air-raid shelters there and it's very safe."
Just as he was talking, Qian Jinxun rushed in from the square hall of the outhouse and said: "Keqin, quickly take Xiaoya and come back to the intelligence office with us. Hurry!" After saying that, he turned around and went out again. .
At this time, Fan Keqin did not wait for Lu Xiaoya's answer, but directly took her to the outhouse. Just look at Fei Hongxia and Lu Suiyun's faces. Obviously it has not gone through this kind of formation.
Sun Guoxin was on the phone at this time. After saying a few words, he immediately hung up and said: "Uncle, for the safety of you and Xiaoya, you and I will go to the intelligence office's air-raid shelter first, because the Japanese bombing will not necessarily end in this wave. , we have to leave right away."
Lu Suiyun was also a straightforward person and didn't pack anything. He picked up his briefcase and said, "Okay, let's leave quickly."
Fan Keqin pulled Lu Xiaoya out of the door and saw everyone on the street looking frightened. Some asked each other, and some stuck their heads out of the windows and looked around.
Sun Guoxin and Qian Jinxun both drove here, so two cars were more than enough for them. The journey was very fast and we arrived at the intelligence office. As soon as Sun Guoxin entered the building, he pointed to the guard next to him, glanced at Lu Suiyun and the others, and said: "These are the elders and relatives of my family. You immediately take them to the air-raid shelter on the second underground floor. If you need anything, you will be there." Finish."
The guard holding a submachine gun immediately stood up and said, "Yes!" Then he turned around and said to Lu Suiyun and others, "Everyone, please follow me." He led everyone downstairs.
Lu Xiaoya looked at Fan Keqin and said, "Keqin, where are you?"
Fan Keqin smiled and said: "Don't worry, it's safe here. I'll go down to find you in a while." Then he glanced at his future father-in-law, who immediately understood.
"Then hurry up." Lu Xiaoya was grabbed by Lu Suiyun's arm before she could finish her words, and together with Fei Hongxia and Guo Meng, they headed towards the underground air-raid shelter under the leadership of the guard.
"Come to my office and let's talk." Sun Guoxin saw all the family members coming downstairs, waved his hand, and quickly led brothers Fan Keqin and Qian Jinxun to his office on the second floor.
Before I even entered the house, I heard the phone ringing inside. It kept ringing.
Sun Guoxin arrived in front of him in a few strides, grabbed the phone, and said: "Hello? Um... ok... ok, I understand." After that, he hung up the phone with a click and said: "There is news, security guard The camp was attacked by Japanese bombers and suffered heavy losses."
"Security division camp?" Fan Keqin was confused after hearing this, and said: "How did the Japanese army get the news? And the bombing was so precise..."
You must know that at this time, there were many secret anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft artillery inside and outside Chongqing due to the relocation of the capital. After all, Chiang Kai-shek is here, and the army has taken out all the family wealth. Although it can't compare to the super firepower network of Europe and the United States, if you want to say it is weak, it is not too weak.
It is said that the accuracy of aircraft bombing in these days is not very high. Even military powers such as the United States, Britain, and Germany cannot achieve precision bombing. Unless the pilot is willing to take the risk of flying low. But in this way, we will risk the threat of various anti-aircraft weapons. Plus, it's already five o'clock in the afternoon. Fan Keqin understands that aircraft of this era do not have night combat capabilities, and flying at night involves very high risks. If it's five o'clock now and it's understandable that the days are getting longer with the arrival of summer, then what about when they go back? And there is no need to search for targets in the air before air strikes? Why did it hit the security guard's camp with such a precise blow?
After listening to Fan Keqin explain his doubts, whether it was Sun Guoxin or Qian Jinxun, they were both knowledgeable and they reacted soon.
Qian Jinxun breathed coldly in his mouth and said: "Yes, no matter how good the Japanese are at flying airplanes, they set off, arrive at the area near the target, search for the target, and enter the bombing channel. This requires a lot of tactical actions before dropping bombs. Yes. Not only didn’t I hear the air-raid siren, why didn’t I even hear the sound of an anti-aircraft gun? Only the sound of bombs exploding?”
After hearing this, Sun Guoxin said with a serious face: "Unless someone is guiding the Japanese aircraft. Or... they already know the precise location of the security division in advance, so that they can reduce the number of preparations before dropping the bomb. They just flew into the predetermined airspace. Then launch the attack directly."
Fan Keqin looked sideways at the sky and said: "The weather is really good, the clouds... not too many, not too little. It is considered normal weather." He paused here and then said: "That is to say, Virgo The analysis just now could happen."
Sun Guoxin pointed to the red phone on the left side of the table. This was his dedicated line. He said: "Just wait and see, the General Administration will call us in less than ten minutes."
Sun Guoxin was wrong. It didn't take ten minutes. Five minutes later, his dedicated line rang. Sun Guoxin didn't wait for it to finish ringing. He reached out and picked it up and said, "Hello?"
After hearing this, Sun Guoxin immediately stood up and stood at attention, saying: "Bureau...Yes!...It's the security guard's camp that was attacked. My people are there. If there is any follow-up situation, he will notify me immediately...Yes, I'm a humble official." I’m also wondering why I didn’t even hear the air defense siren or the slightest movement of air defense weapons. I’m waiting for follow-up news with Qian Jinxun and Fan Keqin. …Yes, I’ll be there soon!”
After saying that, Sun Guoxin hung up the phone, looked at the two brothers, and said, "I'm going to see Boss Dai. You two should go to the air-raid shelter to take shelter first, and also comfort your uncle, your sister-in-law, and the others. Leave a few people behind. Just stay on the phone up there."
The two brothers Fan Keqin replied in unison: "Yes!"
With that said, Sun Guoxin picked up his military cap, put it on his head, and strode out of the office. The two brothers took him downstairs and into the car, and then turned back.
At this moment, looking outside the Intelligence Office, several people walked in quickly, it was Zhang Zhikai, Hua Zhang and the others. Among them is Sun Guoxin's important secretary Gu Xijun.
Seeing Gu Xijun pass by and go up the stairs, Fan Keqin turned around and asked, "Why are you and Secretary Gu together?"
Zhang Zhikai said: "None of our family members were here, so we had a meal together and then went home to rest. When we heard the sound of the explosion, we came back together. At the door of our compound, we met Secretary Gu. Go further."
After hearing this, Fan Keqin nodded and said: "Okay, send someone to the telecommunications department and ask their technical team to pull an emergency line to the second underground air-raid shelter. Then ask a brother to go to the switchboard room to be on duty. Anyone can ask for me and the deputy seat. , directly transferred to the emergency line of underground two."
Zhang Zhikai and others stood up and said: "Yes!" After that, they went to do it themselves.
Fan Keqin turned his head, looked at the sky, and said, "Okay, let's go to the air-raid shelter and have a look. We're probably all scared."
Qian Jinxun sighed and said: "Well, that's right, who wouldn't shiver if you leave me alone? Isn't there a saying! I'm not afraid of the sky or the earth, I'm just afraid of planes pulling daddy!"
"Fuck!" Fan Keqin suddenly became happy and said, "Why are you so dirty? Hurry up and go downstairs." As he said that, he took the first step towards the downward stairs.
