"Old Lu, the journey is smooth."

"treasure."

"goodbye!"

After a farewell hug with Tang Jin, Lu Xiyan took Meng Fanxing and A Xiang onto the barge to pick up the passengers and gradually left the dock. On the side of the ship, the three of them waved farewell to Yan Lei and others who were seeing each other off the shore.

In the crowd, Lu Xiyan saw Hu Yunzhi wearing a gray cotton robe. He also came, but he didn't come over to say goodbye to him.

Maybe it was because I saw Tang Jin next to me, which was inconvenient.

Another barge to pick up passengers, Ding Songqiao also sent Sun Yanan, Xiao Mudan and another subordinate onto the ship, and slowly sailed towards the French mail ship Du Mei in the middle of the river.

There were two shuttles in total, and they took about three round trips before they picked up all the guests on the President Du Mei, a big mail ship, with a total of more than 2,000 passengers and crew members on the ship.

First class cabins have privileges, not only independent space, but also good locations, which are much better than the narrow space in the ordinary cabin.

In addition to the necessary living facilities, there are dance halls, bars, casinos, etc. There are also dancers here. It is said that they are all foreign girls, and the price of staying with them is several times that of being on the shore.

But rich people like this tone and are even more interested in it.

Those who live in first class are all VIPs, and there are dedicated people on the boat to serve them. Naturally, people are rushing to do heavy work such as luggage.

Because, that would be a considerable tip.

Except for the small bags in Meng Fanxing's hand, all their luggage is transported by the waiters on the boat. As long as the luggage of first-class guests does not exceed a certain amount, they do not need to be checked.

There is nothing good about the Huangpu River, not to mention that in the cold winter, the cold wind on the river is like a knife, and the river water is also dirty. As soon as you get on the boat, Lu Xiyan fell on the bed and slept soundly.

However, Meng Fanxing and Axiang, who were going to sea for the first time, were a little excited and went out to make a move. With their skills, they didn't have to worry about safety, so they just went with them.

You can't let them both close the door and watch themselves sleep?

When I woke up, the outside of the porthole was pitch black. I slept for a long time and even missed lunch perfectly.

I touched the pillow under the pillow, and the box containing the "French Coin Master Edition" was still there. I turned on the light and opened the box to check it out, and there was no problem.

This box is of great importance. He carried it with him and did not dare to leave for a moment.

First class cabin is a one-bedroom, one living room, one bedroom, a small study and living room, and a bathroom. The space on the boat is limited, so there are no more than twenty such suites in the entire President Du Mei.

Of course there are even bigger ones, and the cost will be even higher, neither economical nor necessary.

In the living room, two women, one is reading a book, and the other is sitting on the sofa, playing with a small flying knife, and the blade is flying between the fingers. It is so fast that people can't catch it, so they are not afraid of cutting their fingers?

When it comes to playing with knives, he is really not as good as the little girl A Xiang.

It would be a pity to have such a pair of flexible hands not to be a surgeon. There is no way. She has missed the best age to study, unless she is willing to give up everything she has now and study hard, perhaps she can really become a female surgeon with outstanding medical skills.

This girl obviously doesn't have that patience, so Lu Xiyan won't mention this anymore.

"Meimei, what time is it?"

"It's half past six, you've been sleeping for almost nine hours." Meng Fanxing closed the novel in his hand and said as he looked up.

"Maybe I've been too tired recently and have no food. I didn't eat at noon."

“There are thousands of layers of crispbread and beef jerky.”

"Okay, let's eat it." Lu Xiyan was not very particular about eating. He could swallow it in the afternoon as long as it could fill his stomach.

"A Xiang, give me some food."

"Oh." A Xiang, who was playing with the knife silently, agreed and put away the knife in her hand. She didn't know where it was hidden. This was her secret, only she knew.

Thousand-layer shortbread cakes, beef jerky, and some dried fruits. For safety reasons, Lu Xiyan did not intend to touch anything on the ship, and he brought a lot of dry food.

Anyway, it’s just one day or one night, and you’ll get through it after a while.

Besides, the poor people sitting in the bottom cabin could only hold a few cold steamed buns in their arms, just pickles and cold water. They were so happy that they were many times more than them.

Meng Fanxing made a cup of hot milk for Lu Xiyan, and ate a thousand-layer crispy cake and jerky. Such a dinner was actually very good.

As for the two women, they had eaten a lot of snacks. They brought a lot of snacks on the boat. They could eat them anytime they were hungry and couldn't get them hungry.

Dongdong...

Suddenly, a knock on the door came, and the three of them couldn't help but show nervous expressions.

"I'll go open the door." Meng Fanxing said.

"No, I'll do it." How can a woman let this kind of thing go? It should be a man's business. Lu Xiyan clapped his hands, walked over, turned his side slightly, and fisted from the hatch door, turned the door handle and pulled the door.

"Dr. Lu."

There was an old man with a big beard standing outside the door, wearing a handsome white uniform, his beard was also trimmed, and he looked very energetic.

"Lao Sa, why are you?" Lu Xiyan recognized that this was one of his patients, named Sake. He personally performed the surgery. The acute appendicitis was all purulent. After the operation, he stayed in the hospital for half a month before recovering and being discharged from the hospital.

"I saw your name on the guest list, and I was very happy." Sako smiled.

"Lao Sa, why are you wearing this ship like this?" Lu Xiyan hurriedly invited Sarko to come in.

"Dr. Lu, don't you know, I am the commander of President Du Mei?" Sarko said proudly.

"Are you the engineer of President Du Mei?" After looking up and down at Sake's sturdy body, Lu Xiyan nodded and believed it.

"It's like a fake one." Sako showed a naughty smile.

"Oh, let me introduce it. This is my wife, Meng Fanxing, this is A Xiang, my wife's maid." Lu Xiyan introduced.

"Hello, Mrs. Lu!" Sake bent down very politely.

"Hello, Mr. Sako."

"Dr. Lu, I want to invite you and your wife to have dinner together?" Sako asked.

"This..." Lu Xiyan hesitated for a moment. Sako was his patient and the commander of the President Du Mei. If he refused, it would be too unkind.

Who would have thought that they would meet acquaintances without showing up on the boat?

"Old Sa, can you wait a moment, Fanxing and I change our clothes?" Lu Xiyan said.

"Okay, I'll be waiting outside the door." Sako nodded happily.

"Meimei, it seems that we must not stop eating this dinner. Lao Sa is really my patient, but I really don't know that he is the commander of the President Du Mei, which is a coincidence." Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing entered the bedroom, closed the door and whispered in a low voice.

"Although we are an acquaintance, we still have to be careful. After all, we don't know him completely." Meng Fanxing said.

"Well, when eating later, try to eat as little as possible. If you can, don't eat." Lu Xiyan said, "You must be careful of others."

"I understand, where is A Xiang?"

"Bring it with you." Lu Xiyan thought for a while.

"Okay." Put on a suit and cheongsam, Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing followed Sako to the restaurant on the boat. Sako was the commander of the engine and the real power figure on the boat second only to the captain and the first mate, so they could easily get an independent private room.

"Dr. Lu, I'm very happy to meet you on President Du Mei." Sako was very enthusiastic and prepared a French dinner for Lu Xiyan and his wife.

First, it’s an aperitif, then it’s a full meal.

The main meal included steak, foie gras, fish soup, etc., which also took care of the taste of the Chinese. In order to entertain Lu Xiyan, Sako was quite considerate.

It can be seen that Sacco is sincere. Although the French are sometimes arrogant and rude, they still respect those who are truly capable or those who are strong.

The genes of Western culture contain a kind of respect and obedience to the strong. Although Lu Xiyan is an oriental or a Chinese, in Sako's heart, the person who can send him back to the gate of hell is a strong man.

The amount of French food is generally not very large, but there are many varieties, as well as desserts and fruits after meals, which are naturally the favorites of girls.

"Lao Sa, thank you for your reception tonight!" After a hearty French dinner, I should thank the host, which is etiquette.

"Dr. Lu is polite. It is my honor to have dinner with you and your wife." Sake's face was blushing. He was really happy tonight.

"Thanks."

"If Dr. Lu takes President Du Mei back to Shanghai next time, just tell me in advance and I will leave you a first-class cabin. As long as the ship does not set off, you can do it at any time." Sako patted his chest and promised.

"Thank you, we're back." Lu Xiyan said.

"If you have any need on the boat, come and find me at any time." Sake waved his hand to Lu Xiyan.

"OK."

There were many people eating in the restaurant. Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing walked through the corridor hand in hand, and suddenly a familiar back came into view.

Lu Xiyan, who had drunk a lot of wine, was shocked, and the little drunkenness disappeared completely.

How could it be him?

How could he appear on this ship?

Lu Xiyan and Meng Fanxing walked out of the restaurant quickly, but fortunately the man was always facing him and he probably didn't see him. Also, there was a young woman sitting opposite him. Are they together?

"Xiyan, what's wrong? Are you leaving so urgent?" Meng Fanxing noticed that when Lu Xiyan walked out of the restaurant just now, the steps behind were obviously much faster. She was wearing a cheongsam and her steps were small, so she couldn't keep up.

"Go back and say it." Lu Xiyan lowered his voice and said.

Meng Fanxing stopped asking more questions and returned to the private room on the boat with Lu Xiyan.

"Meimei, I suddenly saw a familiar back in the restaurant, which surprised me, so I quickly came out because I was afraid of being discovered." Lu Xiyan returned to the room and pulled Meng Fanxing down to explain.

"Who did you see?"

"Sun Yanan." Lu Xiyan said solemnly.

"Sun Yanan, the military commander who assassinated you?" Meng Fanxing suddenly became nervous when he heard this. Sun Yanan assassinated Lu Xiyan twice in three-point attempts, and now he appeared on the same boat again.

"Yes, although I didn't see his face, I'm too familiar with his back." Lu Xiyan said, "I won't admit my mistake."

"He's not here to hunt you down, is he?"

"I don't know, anyway, we must be extra careful about the next itinerary. From now on, the three of us must advance and retreat together." Lu Xiyan said, "Go and tell A Xiang."

"good."

"We take turns to watch at night, and there must be someone who is awake." Lu Xiyan added another sentence.

"clear."
