Chapter 552: Smooth Arrival at Port

Since He Yuzhu had already killed the ringleader, he naturally would not show mercy to the group of agents and Japanese lackeys tailing him.

After neatly disposing of everyone, he returned to the small deck outside the luxury cabin.

At this moment, Vasili was pacing anxiously on the deck; Nina was sitting in a rattan chair, frowning as she gnawed on an apple; only Su Qing sat quietly reading a book, with not a ripple of emotion visible on her face.

Seeing him return, the three of them stood up in unison.

Nina spoke first: "Were those FBI people? Were they investigating us?"

He Yuzhu nodded.

"Then what do we do? This is the territory of the Seventh Fleet! Once we're surrounded, there's no chance of getting out alive!" Nina's tone was clearly nervous.

"I..." He Yuzhu made a throat-slitting gesture.

"What about the bodies? Where did you put them? What if they're discovered..." Nina pressed.

He Yuzhu curled his lips: "Don't think so much, let's go, let's go to the street and have a good meal."

Nina dawdled and refused to move; when it came down to it, her money was still in the cabin.

He Yuzhu ignored her, dragged Su Qing off the ship, and headed straight for Yokohama Chinatown, wanting to taste some authentic Chinese food.

Just as they turned into the street entrance, they saw several American soldiers smashing up a Chinese restaurant.

The Chinese Boss, over fifty years old, knelt at the entrance, kowtowing incessantly: "Officers, please, I beg you, stop smashing! My daughter is already married, she really can't..."

A short white soldier kicked the Boss and cursed: "Those Japanese restaurant owners can offer their own women to serve us, why can't your daughter? It's not like she has to stay for a lifetime, just tonight!"

"We don't have that custom..."

Before he could finish, the short white man raised his foot and kicked the Boss in the jaw!

With a soft "Crack!", the Boss fell straight to the ground, spitting blood, convulsed a few times, and then stopped moving, with no telling if he was dead or alive.

Su Qing was quick-witted; seeing the veins on He Yuzhu's forehead throbbing, she immediately went to pull his hand—but it was already too late!

He Yuzhu's wrist flicked, and two Flying Knives pierced the short man's shoulders with a whistling sound, burying deep into the flesh!

The short white man screamed and crouched on the ground, his eyes turning red as he reached for the Pistol at his waist.

A cold glint flashed in He Yuzhu's eyes, and two more Flying Knives left his hands, stabbing straight into the opponent's eyes!

A shrill howl pierced the bustle of Chinatown; the short white man collapsed on the ground, convulsing all over, and soon went still.

"Murder! Run!" The crowd watching the commotion scattered instantly.

The remaining four soldiers drew their Pistols and fired wildly in He Yuzhu's direction.

Fortunately, the surrounding people had all run away, otherwise, who knows how many people would have died?

He Yuzhu pushed Su Qing into a shop, flipped his wrists, and two Mauser C96s were already in his hands.

"Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Four gunshots rang out, and all four soldiers fell into a pool of blood, their limbs still twitching unconsciously.

"Go!"

He Yuzhu pulled Su Qing from the shop and headed straight into the depths of the alley, "You go back to the ship first; I'll definitely be there before it sets sail."

Su Qing looked at his back and shouted loudly: "You must be careful!"

He Yuzhu quickly pried open a military vehicle parked on the side of the road, floored the gas pedal, and headed straight for Yokohama North Pier.

This was a commercial port, and compared to the military port, the security was much looser.

Taking advantage of the night, He Yuzhu climbed over the low fence and plunged into the chilly seawater.

After more than ten hours of work, he had attached High Explosives to the underwater hulls of ten Destroyers and had firmly secured three MK-14 Anti-ship Torpedoes beneath the keel of an aircraft carrier.

By the time he rushed back to the passenger ship, it had already sounded its departure whistle.

The detonation time He Yuzhu had originally set was half an hour after the passenger ship left the port. As it happened, the passenger ship was delayed by more than 20 minutes; just as it had sailed not far from the port, a series of earth-shattering roars suddenly came from the sea surface!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The explosions followed one after another, each more violent than the last!

Yokohama North Pier was instantly engulfed in flames, the sound of the explosions deafening.

The three MK-14 Anti-ship Torpedoes exploded near the aircraft carrier's ammunition depot; hundred-meter-high water columns wrapped in flames shot into the sky, the carrier's hull was blown open with three huge holes, and the cold seawater poured in frantically!

"Boom——!!!"

The ammunition inside the aircraft carrier was also detonated; the shockwave from the secondary explosions was even more powerful than the bombs, overturning several small boats nearby, and rolling black smoke rose like a black dragon, completely obscuring the starlight in the sky.

The port's alarms wailed, and the sirens of fire trucks and military vehicles approached from afar, but no one dared to approach that sea of fire.

"Woo..." The passenger ship's whistle wailed, as if playing a requiem for this disaster.

In just a few minutes, an aircraft carrier plus more than ten Destroyers were all blown into scrap metal billowing black smoke, and the sea surface was covered with all kinds of debris, oil, and blood, staining a large area of seawater red.

The chimney of the Cleveland was belching black smoke; clearly, the captain had given a death order to have the ship flee the area as quickly as possible.

In the luxury cabin, Nina looked out the window and said excitedly: "This trip is too satisfying, it's like watching fireworks!"

He Yuzhu suddenly turned his head: "After you arrive in Hong Kong, where do you plan to go?"

Nina didn't seem to expect him to ask suddenly, and paused before answering: "We... might stay there for a while."

He Yuzhu nodded and didn't press further.

For the next three days, He Yuzhu was basically idle, and each time he managed to bring back plenty of authentic Chinese food from the restaurant.

This left Nina and Vasili wanting more every time they ate.

Every night, He Yuzhu would enter his own space to clear out the spoils of this trip.

After two nights of counting and calculating, he had actually harvested over 560 tons of gold, more than 120 million US dollars in cash, 300,000 tons of various grains, over 150 vehicles of various types, two unfinished High-altitude Reconnaissance Planes, as well as a full set of design blueprints, plus a large amount of Steel Smelting Equipment and more.

Although the docks and land worth twenty or thirty million belonging to He Yuzhu's Eastern Shipping Company had been seized, and he hadn't been able to manage that matter this time, this trip could be considered worth it.

Three days passed in a flash.

The passenger ship slowly approached Manila Pier.

He Yuzhu had thought that someone would investigate the twenty-plus missing FBI agents, but he didn't expect there to be no movement at all.

Furthermore, no one boarded the ship to interrogate Mr. Qian's family and the scientists traveling with them.

He Yuzhu leaned against the railing, gazing at the calm harbor, thinking to himself: It is highly probable that the state level intervened.

His original plan to "make a big splash" here had thus fallen through.

The passenger ship docked in Manila for one night, and He Yuzhu had no desire to go ashore.

Early the next morning, the passenger ship set sail again, and two days later, it finally arrived at Victoria Pier.

But before the passenger ship could dock, a small boat sailed over, seemingly having had a tacit understanding with this liner; before the large ship docked, it let the small boat take away Mr. Qian's family and several dozen other people.

On Victoria Pier, He Yuzhu pushed his suitcase and waved to Nina and Vasili: "Goodbye!"

Nina's eyes turned slightly red, and she ran over to give He Yuzhu a big hug.
