Chapter 1339 Unexpected

Compared with Liu Shang, who has no physical strength, Liao Yuan, who is obviously more capable, is more suitable for carrying out violent tasks such as killing people and silencing them. Moreover, he has several subordinates with thick muscles and round waists at his disposal.

A group of people should be very confident when they want to deal with a carpenter. Liu Shang hopes to get rid of Qin An's hidden danger through Liao Yuan's hands, but he is worried that if the matter is not handled cleanly enough, he will be implicated. After all, in his eyes, even

Liao Yuan was also classified as a "burden" and a "hidden danger", and he was one of the people Liu Shang wanted to get rid of.

Liu Shang has a serious lack of trust in everyone around him, which makes it difficult for him to completely entrust others with such an important task that he considers to be a matter of life and death. If possible, he even hopes that these people will all come from Haihan

Disappear so that you can focus all your energy on completing your tasks.

Of course, this possibility can only be thought about. Liao Yuan is still the leader of the intelligence network established by the Ming Dynasty in Sanya. Even if the superiors feel that Liu Shang's status and role are more important in the future, they want to replace him and replace Liao Yuan.

Location, that is not something that can be achieved in a short time, at least until Liu Shang returns from completing the mission of going north to aid the construction. As for using other unconventional methods to make Liao Yuan disappear, Liu Shang admits that he is not that capable.

, just think about it.

Liao Yuan insisted on making the final decision after meeting with Qin An, and it was difficult for Liu Shang to come up with sufficient reasons to persuade him. He could only ask Liao Yuan to clean up the matter from beginning to end when dealing with it, and not to let the Haihan people follow the clues.

The intelligence network lurking in Sanya was brought out.

Liao Yuan responded in a deep voice: "I will naturally deal with this matter with caution. After two days, I will ask Boss Liu for a few days' leave. Then I will take people to Changhua to complete this matter and then come back."

No matter how worried Liu Shang was, he couldn't think of a better way to deal with it for the time being, so he could only agree to Liao Yuan's plan. Fortunately, he had repeatedly brainwashed Liao Yuan in these two interviews, describing Qin An as an impulsive character who did not obey orders.

If Qin An did not change his mind significantly during this period and still insisted on his plan of action to enter Longtan alone, then Liao Yuan would most likely act on his own advice and silence him in order to seek peace.

After all, one or two warship blueprints cannot change the gap in military strength between the two countries, but a spy who successfully infiltrates the upper echelon of Haihan official circles has the opportunity to play a greater role. Whether it is for public or selfish reasons, Liao Yuan

You should already know how to handle this situation.

Two days later, Liao Yuan sent someone to bring the news. Liu Shang saw that the person who delivered the letter did not know him, so he tried a few words to find out that he was not one of his own, but a so-called "courier" who was commonly paid to run errands in the local area. He sent him away.

After they arrived, Liu Shang opened the letter and saw that Liao Yuan informed him in code words that he had led a team from Sanya to Changhua. To be on the safe side, Liao Yuan had brought all his men with him.

So Liu Shang needs to be careful during this period, otherwise no one will lend a helping hand if something happens.

Liu Shang was afraid that Liao Yuan was playing some tricks, so he went to the place where Liao Yuan and his men worked to find out. As expected, these people asked the proprietor for a few days' leave for different reasons and disappeared without a trace at the same time.

.

Liu Shang also didn't expect that Liao Yuan would do nothing, but he would be so decisive when he did it. He brought the whole team there, apparently intending to handle Qin An's matter safely. This attitude made Liu Shang feel a little more at ease, and he was also very scared.

Liao Yuan looked forward and backward when the incident came. If Qin An saw through the murderous intention and took advantage of the loophole to escape, the trouble would be huge. But since he brought the whole team there, he obviously did not intend to leave any escape route for Qin An.

In the next few days, Liu Shang spent the next few days with a strong sense of uneasiness. His daily work schedule was still very full, and the superiors did not reduce his workload because he was included in the list of construction aid personnel heading north.

, but this level of busyness could not completely alleviate his uneasiness. As long as he stopped for a moment, his mind would immediately start to figure out where Liao Yuan's team should go, how far it was from Changhua, and how long it would take to get there.

How to find Qin An and take him away from the workplace.

Liu Shang's restlessness was even noticed by Yu Xiaobao, who came out to inspect the work one day. After being asked by Yu Xiaobao, Liu Shang realized that he had serious problems with his emotional management. If he was not careful, he would be in trouble.

Someone with good intentions will take advantage of you.

Fortunately, Xiaobao didn't think too much about Liu Shang's abnormal mood. After he excused himself for a few words by using the excuse of illness, Yu Xiaobao stopped asking further questions and just asked him to see a doctor for treatment as soon as possible without delay.

Liu Shang secretly said that he was lucky, and immediately cheered up, not daring to show any signs of distraction in front of Yu Xiaobao.

Changhua County is actually not far from Sanya. It's just that the area is classified as a heavy industrial zone and the environment is relatively closed. There is also a large section of no-man's land along the Changhua Railway. It can be said that looking for people there is not a problem.

It's an easy job. But Liu Shang knows that Liao Yuan will naturally have a solution to this problem, and it probably won't be difficult for him to find Qin An's whereabouts. And if a craftsman is missing in a sparsely populated place like Shilu, Chang, it's probably hard for him to find it.

It will not attract too much official attention.

But this will also have a huge drawback, that is, there will probably not be any official news about Qin An's final whereabouts. The impact of the disappearance is too small, and Qin An does not have any relatives or friends in the area.

At most, it is just to add the number of missing persons to the local government's year-end census report. In this way, Liu Shang's only sources of information are probably Liao Yuan and others, and his trust in Liao Yuan is not the same.

It's far from 100%, which is very uncomfortable.

Amidst such uneasiness, several days passed, and in a blink of an eye, the time limit set by the executive committee for each department was reached. The four people transferred from the Youth League had already been implemented and notified, and they were ready to go at any time.

Soon the situation of each department was also summarized to the executive committee. After a brief publicity and discussion, the list of more than 60 cadres going north to aid construction was signed and approved by Tao Donglai personally. The departure schedule was also quickly determined.

After coming down, two days later, a special passenger ship will carry this group of cadres and set off together with the freight fleet transporting supplies northward.

Liu Shang saw that nearly ten days had passed and he still hadn't seen Liao Yuan and others return, and he felt very uneasy. Logically speaking, apart from the time spent on the road, there would be at least four or five days for Liao Yuan and others to take action. But there has been no reply yet.

, obviously this job did not go smoothly. Liu Shang had previously gone to the place where Liao Yuan and others worked to inquire about information. He heard that the leave he asked for was only seven days. Obviously, Liao Yuan's original plan did not expect to use such a holiday.

For a long time, I was afraid that some unexpected incident might have happened during the process, dragging them back to Changhua.

Liu Shang no longer cares so much about Qin An's life and death. He is now more worried about the whereabouts of Liao Yuan and others, whether he exposed his whereabouts because he wanted to attack Qin An, and ended up being stuck in Changhua and unable to return.

Liu Shang couldn't help but regretted this series of actions. His original purpose was to plug the security loophole, but he didn't expect that the hole was getting bigger and bigger. It became impossible to fill it, and the soil around his feet was also loose.

You may fall into this big hole you dug yourself.

Liu Shang even woke up from nightmares for two days in a row, dreaming that a group of Haihan spies broke into the door to arrest him, and the leaders were Zhang Qianzhi and Yu Xiaobao. Zhang Qianzhi also proudly said to himself, thanks to

After all his efforts, the Haihan Security Department was able to follow the clues and catch all the intelligence agents sent by Ming Dynasty to lurk in Haihan. And Yu Xiaobao also looked at himself and smiled without saying a word, as if all these changes were within his expectation.

middle.

Liu Shang did not dare to think carefully about how true and false this nightmare was, but he knew that the nights were long and the dreams were many. If it continued, what awaited might not be the return of Liao Yuan and others, but the arrest of Haihan Security Department.

Before his identity is completely exposed, he must try to save himself and escape from this place.

When there was still one day left before the crew headed north, Liu Shang's patience finally ran out. He was unwilling to continue risking his personal safety and made up his mind to escape from Sanya.

Liu Shang simply packed some luggage, took almost all the Haihan banknotes and the two gold bars at the bottom of the box, and went straight to the Sanya Port Terminal. The reason why he did not choose the closer Victory Port was because he knew that Victory Port

Most of the ships docked here are owned by Haihan. Even if there are foreign ships, they are all merchants who have a deep cooperative relationship with Haihan. Moreover, Liu Shang has spent a lot of time in the Victory Port area recently due to his work relationship. He wants to

The risk of escaping from Victory Port by boat is quite high.

The environment of Sanya Port is relatively relaxed. Ships and sailors from all over the world gather here, and the control is not so strict. Moreover, Liu Shang worked at Xinlong Tea House near Sanya Port in the first month of his arrival in Sanya, so he is familiar with the environment of the port area.

, at least you know where to go to inquire about the boat schedules entering and leaving the port, so you won’t be confused about the direction.

Liu Shang first went to a shop at the port to store his parcel, so as not to be seen by acquaintances in his hurry. When he used to tell stories at Xinlong Tea House, many of his regular customers were sailors and crew members who made a living in the port area.

There are many maritime merchants who recognize him. If someone sees the clues and goes to the nearby police station or port center to report him, things will be in trouble.

According to past memories, Liu Shang went straight to a dock where the Ming Dynasty's maritime merchants were concentrated. There were ships going in and out of the Ming Dynasty and Sanya Port almost every day. He wanted to escape back to the Ming Dynasty and find a ship that was about to leave here.

Boat is the fastest way. If financial resources and cost are not considered, Liu Shang can even charter a boat here and set off immediately.

Liu Shang asked the sailors of four or five boats in succession. The fastest one would not leave the port until two days later, but he obviously could not wait until that time. Just when Liu Shang started to get anxious, a sailor gave him instructions.

Another boat on the road: "That cargo ship came from Changhua this morning to transport iron ingots. After loading the goods here, it will leave for Haikou Port. It is estimated to leave today. If you are in a hurry, you can take a boat to Haikou first.

, and then find a boat from Haikou to Daming."

Liu Shang thought that his purpose was just to leave Haihan, and the Ming Dynasty's territory closest to Hainan Island was the Leizhou Peninsula, which was only separated from Haikou Port by the Qiongzhou Strait. He remembered that when he went to inspect Haikou Port before, he heard the introduction from local officials

However, there are very close shipping connections with the Leizhou Peninsula. Once you get there, you should be able to find a ship to Leizhou without leaving the dock. It is also a feasible way. I immediately thanked the sailor and went to find the ship docked next to it.

The owner of the cargo ship.

Although this ship is carrying goods for Haihan official, it is not an official ship, but a heavy-duty cargo ship affiliated to the large merchant "Zhan's Shipping". After unloading a batch of iron ingots at Sanya Port

, and then ship another batch of supplies to Haikou. Although this kind of ship is mainly used for freight, it is normal to occasionally pick up a few individual passengers. The ship owner heard that Liu Shang was eager to go to Haikou, and immediately quoted a price

, Liu Shang had no intention of bargaining with him, so he agreed immediately and paid in cash immediately.

"Can we set off before dark?" Liu Shang asked with great concern. If he leaves Sanya a moment earlier, he will have more security. If he stays one more night, he will bear more risks.

"It's hard to say. There are still a few guests on the boat. We have to wait for the government to come and pick them up." The boat owner responded smoothly: "If everything goes well, we can leave before dark."

"Who is he? You have to wait for the government to pick him up?" Liu Shang suddenly became alert. If there are any important people on the ship, the police may come to isolate the place later, and there will inevitably be additional people.

risk.

The ship owner explained: "No wonder, sir, my ship encountered a ship that capsized due to wind and waves on the way to Sanya. Although I tried my best to rescue him, the opportunity was missed when we met, so I could only save the bodies of the crew members who died."

They fished it out and transported it back to Sanya to be handed over to the authorities for funeral arrangements. They had already come to do an autopsy before, but because there were so many victims, they had to use a car to take away the bodies. Well, the body was on the bow deck of the ship.

That's what's covered with canvas."

Liu Shang somehow asked in a strange way: "I have relatives and friends who went to Changhua recently. If something happens to the ship he is on, can you let me go and check it out?"

Of course, the ship owner would not object to this request and nodded to Liu Shang to do what he wanted. The ship's bow deck was covered with a large area of ​​canvas. Judging from the outline, there were probably as many as ten corpses.

Liu Shang walked over and squatted down, slowly lifting the canvas covering the body. The face that came into view made Liu Shang almost cry out. Although the face was somewhat deformed by the sea water, Liu Shang

Shang still recognized his identity at a glance. It was Liao Yuan who had not yet shown up after the agreed time limit.
