Hume is an honest man.
Whether they are Americans or Japanese, whoever occupies Manila has nothing to do with him.
He just wants to live well with his family.
When the Americans come, he is loyal to the Americans.
When the Japanese came, his allegiance naturally became the Japanese.
Living is better than anything else.
As for colonies, freedom, etc., in Hume's opinion, they were too far away from himself.
However, what I am not worried about is that my son has joined some organization.
That is against the Japanese.
The whole family will suffer!
Hume had tried to persuade his son countless times, but Ruth would not listen to his words at all.
How come?
Hume sighed and returned home.
But when he got home, he found a strange young man waiting for him.
"He said he was a friend of Ruth." Hume's wife whispered.
My son's friend?
Don't you belong to some kind of resistance organization?
"Are you a friend of Ruth?" Hume asked cautiously.
Xiaozhong smiled and nodded.
"Ruth hasn't been home for a few days. Where is he now?" Hume asked quickly.
"Go out and talk."
Xiaozhong stood up and walked out without even looking at him.
…
"You work in Warehouse No. 7?"
Xiao Zhong lit a cigarette and asked slowly.
Hume nodded.
Xiaozhong took out a few photos and handed them over.
"This is?"
Hume took it and glanced at it, his expression suddenly changed.
In the photo, it is his son.
However, the son in the photo was tied up and there were even scars on his face.
Hume only had one son. Seeing his son like this, Hume was frightened: "What do you want to do? What do you want me to do?"
"As long as you do as we tell you, your son will definitely not be harmed. Come with me."
Hume followed him numbly and got into a car.
I must not let my son get hurt at all.
"There is a bag at the back." Xiao Zhongdan said calmly, "That's for you."
Hume carefully opened the bag.
Inside, are three time bombs.
"I will teach you how to use them." Xiao Zhong said without looking back, "You put them in the warehouse."
Hume understood in an instant.
The other party wants to blow up Warehouse No. 7!
"No, no!" Hume looked pale and kept shaking his head: "This will cause my whole family to be killed by the Japanese. No, no."
"No." Xiao Zhong smiled: "Put the bomb, you leave, and then I will arrange for you and your family to escape from Manila together, and you will come back after the Japanese are defeated.
Hume, you have no choice, promise me, or watch your son die. "
Seeing that Hume had not yet agreed, Xiao Zhongdan said calmly: "You can leave now, and I will never stop you. Early tomorrow morning, Ruth's body will appear at your doorstep."
Hume sat there blankly, saying nothing.
Xiao Zhong didn't say much and waited for him calmly.
After a long time, Hume opened the car door and really left.
However, when he left, he carried the bag Xiao Zhong gave him.
…
Hume got up early in the morning, just like every other day.
His wife, without thinking too much, just prepared breakfast for her husband as usual.
Hume thought a lot last night.
No matter what, we must rescue our son.
Even if you risk your own life for it.
After breakfast, he picked up the bag and said, "Get ready. We may go back to other cities to stay for a few days."
His wife was startled, but before she could ask, Hume had already left the house.
…
"Mr. Hume."
When Takei, the director of Warehouse No. 7, saw Hume, he smiled and said, "You always come so early."
He is the Japanese who appreciates Hume the most.
For the entire power system of Warehouse No. 7, it is enough for Hume to be here alone.
He must make good use of Hume.
"Ah, yes, Mr. Takei." Hume said respectfully: "The circuit in Warehouse No. 5 was not repaired yesterday. I came earlier so that Warehouse No. 5 can operate normally."
"Don't work too hard, Mr. Hume." Takei smiled broadly: "If all people were like you, then I would be able to worry less."
"Ah, by the way, Mr. Takei." Hume seemed to suddenly remember something: "The wiring in warehouse No. 5 was built by Americans. It is too old and I need to completely replace it.
It's so troublesome to check every time it goes in and out. I'm worried that I won't be able to replace it today. "
Takei must have understood: "I will call warehouse No. 5 in a moment. You can come and go as you please today."
As he said that, he patted Hume on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Hume."
…
Hume didn't expect that he would be so calm.
Blow up the arms warehouse!
But for the sake of his son, he had to force himself to do this.
He has been working diligently all morning.
When he saw that he was eating lunch, the Japanese who was assisting him reminded him.
"Ah, I brought my own food."
Hume opened the lunch box: "I'm going to eat here. I'll make the most of it later."
The Japanese also knew that Hume was a diligent man and had no doubt about it.
As soon as the Japanese left, Hume's heart suddenly started beating wildly.
When he came in for the second time, he finally brought in three bombs quietly.
He is too familiar with everything here.
Once warehouse No. 5 explodes, it will quickly detonate the warehouses nearby.
By then, the entire Warehouse No. 7 will be plunged into a sea of explosions and flames!
And all of this was done by himself.
He carefully placed the three bombs one by one.
After pressing the timed detonator, his heart relaxed a little.
…
"Mr. Hume, where are you going?"
"Ah, some of the accessories are of the wrong model. I'll go look for them."
"Okay, let's do the little work first."
At this time, Hume's only thought was to leave here as soon as possible.
This place will soon become a nightmare.
Son, there is only so much dad can do for you.
…
The car is already waiting outside.
Hume looked both ways, quickly opened the door and got in the car.
Xiaozhong started the car: "Okay?"
"Okay, everything is put away."
Hume said cautiously.
Xiaozhong drove the car far away, stopped, and took out a cigarette: "Smoke?"
Hume shook his head numbly.
"Wait, then."
Xiao Zhongdan said: "When I heard the explosion, everything was over."
"Where is my son?" Hume asked bravely.
"I will definitely do what I promised you." Xiao Zhong smiled: "You and your family will be free, and you will stay away from here, and you will never be threatened again!"
