Chapter 869 Nighttime Operation
Lu Qiaoge reached out and patted the little girl's head, saying, "I'm traveling with Hong Kong businessmen this time. Although it's not a special train, there are security personnel accompanying us, but I will still be careful."
Dong Mingming nodded vigorously and reminded her again, "Sister Lu, you must be careful, especially at night."
The reason Lu Qiaoge brought Luo Ziwen back to Jiangcheng at this time was because there was a criminal gang in a certain area between Jiangcheng and Beidu.
Just as Dong Mingming said, they boarded the train in the middle of the night to rob passengers or steal important supplies transported in the carriages.
These people are very cunning, habitual offenders, and always act unexpectedly.
Just three days ago, instant noodles being transported from Jiangcheng to Nancheng encountered this situation during transshipment.
Some people were caught, but others were not.
The food factory has now established instant noodle branch factories in Yuncheng and Nancheng.
Xiangyang brand instant noodles began to be sold domestically in 1980.
We wouldn't dare say we're the undisputed leader in the food industry, but we're pretty close.
But this is the first time it's been stolen like this.
The remaining escapees are still being pursued, and it is said to be quite difficult.
But Lu Qiaoge wasn't going to let them be smug for long.
She has a group of super detectives.
The target had been identified long ago.
The train was traveling on a section of track with cliffs and steep walls.
It was already night, and Lu Qiaoge had long since gone to bed.
She and Luo Ziwen's group all stayed in soft sleeper berths, so of course they couldn't share a room.
However, the soft sleeper berths in this carriage were all booked by people from the State Administration of Foreign Trade.
Accompanying them were staff members, as well as a group of Hong Kong and foreign businessmen who wanted to visit Jiangcheng for inspection.
The reason I wanted to go to Jiangcheng was because Jiangcheng is the main production area of Xiangyang brand instant noodles.
Many Hong Kong and foreign businessmen are very interested in this city, especially knowing that Lu Qiaoge is among the entourage.
Lu Qiaoge spent the night chatting with these people in the dining car until 10 p.m.
Then, after 10 o'clock, Lu Qiaoge went to rest, and the others also went back to their rooms to sleep one after another.
After all, this train is different from the others. It is said that once, a foreign business delegation chartered an entire train and used it as their entertainment venue, even holding dance parties. In short, the revelry lasted all night.
Our staff couldn't stop them, so they could only stand at the door and watch awkwardly.
Xiao Wu was once one of the staff members, and because of his outstanding work, he was sent here again this time.
There were seven or eight young people this time as well. He thought it might end up like this, since it takes a long time to get from Beidu to Jiangcheng.
Who would have thought that this time would be different from the past, with these independent foreigners all being very obedient.
Section Chief Lu was also young, and she got along very well with them. However, when it was time to rest, she did so without any delay. She also reminded him to rest early and to keep warm, as it was already May, but the weather was still a bit chilly heading north.
Xiao Wu felt that this time accompanying them was really worry-free.
Although Lu Qiaoge had plans for the night, she was now actually asleep.
The train rattled along, and soon arrived at the time Lu Qiaoge had set. Lu Qiaoge woke up right on time.
The car windows nowadays are the kind that can be opened and then latched onto the sides.
It wasn't the completely enclosed kind of place found in later generations.
Actually, this is very dangerous because the windows are made of iron on both sides. If they can't be secured, the person sitting by the window could lean out, which would be a disaster.
Lu Qiaoge easily opened the window and then jumped out.
Little Cangcang said to her from the side: [“Little master, that group of people are also very cunning. They knew that there were Hong Kong businessmen and foreign businessmen involved this time, so they didn’t make a move. They stayed at home obediently. They didn’t even dare to eat the instant noodles they stole because they said the smell was too strong. The aroma could be smelled for miles. Then someone suggested that they sell them secretly, but they would have to wait until no one was paying attention.”]
Lu Qiaoge nodded to indicate that she understood.
Her figure moved swiftly through the night, and in just one minute she arrived at a village beside the cliff.
By this time, the train had already left the area.
Lu Qiaoge had Rat Big and Rat Two stay in her private room.
It's good to communicate with her promptly if anything comes up.
At this moment, all was quiet, except for one household in the village where an oil lamp was lit.
Old Liu, wearing a cotton-padded coat, stood on the courtyard wall, watching the train sound its whistle and drive away from the area, clicking his tongue with a hint of regret.
He said to Liu Lao Er standing below, "It's such a pity. If you ask me, the village chief is too cowardly. What's there to be afraid of with those Hong Kong businessmen around? We won't rob the Hong Kong businessmen or foreign businessmen. There are still ordinary carriages, right? We can go up and rob a few, then get off at the next stop. Those people definitely won't dare to make a sound."
"Why don't you dare to make a fuss?" Liu Lao Er asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Because we're afraid of losing face. They say you shouldn't wash your dirty linen in public. If foreigners find out about this, they'll spread it all over the world. They'll laugh at our country then."
When Boss Liu said this, he was even smug.
He didn't even realize that his behavior was a crime.
Liu Lao Er put his hands in his pockets and said, "The village chief also said that we shouldn't make any moves recently. The instant noodles we robbed last time were from Xiangyang Food Factory. Xiangyang Food Factory is the 516 Military Factory. It's right that we're being careful."
"What do you mean being careful is right? These days, it's all about the bold getting rich and the timid starving. If we didn't have guts, would we be where we are today?"
Then he kicked Liu Lao Er and said, "Without your brother, and with all these people risking their lives, how could you have gotten a wife?"
Liu Lao Er chuckled and then said, "Brother, when are we going to the big city?"
"No rush. Once we've saved up more money, we'll move everything to the port city."
"Oh my, we can even move to Hong Kong City, brother, you're not kidding me, are you?"
"Why would I lie to you? This is definitely not a long-term solution. If it goes on for too long, someone will definitely come to arrest us. This village may not be safe. So, it's best for us to run away to the port city. There, the emperor will be far away and no one can control us."
The two brothers chatted happily, talking about doing a few more rounds of work, and then, through the village chief's connections, everyone would go to the port city together...
Lu Qiaoge glanced at the two brothers and quietly released Xiaoqing.
Xiaoqing is very capable now.
Even today, the legend of the Azure Dragon still exists in the port city.
It was Xiaoqing who intervened when those people tried to harm Lu Qiaoge.
Xiao Qing is enormous, and although it doesn't have claws, it moves as fast as lightning.
