The British officer led Lu Ming, Huang Yanning and others to leave the pier through a special passage, and then boarded four covered trucks parked outside.

Lu Ming, Yuan Ziyuan, and Yuan Mingzhu were invited to sit in a Rolls-Royce car, which was the special car of the Governor of Hong Kong, and the British military officer drove it himself.

Lu Ming couldn't help but admire Sheng Youde's supernatural powers. The Governor of Hong Kong actually agreed to his request, allowing them to enter Hong Kong with guns, and even used a special car to greet the guests.

The convoy was driving on the streets of Hong Kong, and no one spoke a word all the way. The closer the moment to see Sheng Muyi, the more panicked everyone was.

Although I can't see any suspicious signs, I'm still afraid of accidents

Not long after, the car stopped, and Lu Ming got out of the car to take a look. It was indeed a very grand building, with a brand new British flag hanging on the door, and the sign on the door said Kowloon Hotel.

At this moment, there were already four British soldiers with guns standing outside the hotel, and there was another group of British soldiers patrolling the street. The street was basically clean.

The garrison in Hong Kong is rarely dispatched, and the police are enough to maintain law and order. Therefore, when the garrison is dispatched, both pedestrians and surrounding businessmen feel the tense atmosphere and try to stay away as much as possible.

"Lu, don't let your people come down. I'll just take you and these two ladies in." The British officer shook his head and said.

Lu Ming thought for a while, then nodded. Since the Hong Kong garrison is dispatched, it's better to do as the Romans do. He went over to talk to Huang Yanning and asked them to wait in the car.

Then he led Yuan Ziyuan and Yuan Mingzhu to follow the British officers into the Kowloon Hotel, all the way to the top floor, which was also guarded by four British soldiers with guns.

The British officer went over and said a few words, and then walked over with the three of them.

Perhaps hearing footsteps outside, the door of a room opened, and then a person leaned out to check for movement.

"Mu Yi!"

Lu Ming and Zi Yuan yelled out loud almost at the same time.

"It's you, why are you here?" Sheng Muyi was also stunned.

"We're here to pick you up." Lu Ming squatted down suddenly when he saw the intact Sheng Muyi.

He felt that all the strength in his body was drained, and the tears could no longer be held back. He covered his face and wept silently.

"Mu Yi, I finally found you." Yuan Ziyuan ran over and hugged Mu Yi.

Yuan Mingzhu didn't go there, but walked to Lu Ming's side and held his head in his arms.

To her, Sheng Muyi is right in front of her eyes, so she doesn't need to worry anymore, but Lu Ming has been worried about it for half a year, it's so pitiful.

Seeing this, the British officer couldn't help but whistled, and he was relieved.

As soon as he got up this morning, he received an inexplicable order from the Governor of Hong Kong. From the tone of his voice, he could tell that the Governor of Hong Kong was not in a very happy mood.

The order is very simple, one is to ask him to arrange soldiers to protect the Kowloon Hotel, especially to protect one of the guests named Sheng Muyi, so that nothing can go wrong.

The other is to ask him to go to the pier to pick up a group of people from Shanghai, who have been authorized by the government to enter Hong Kong with guns.

Then came the detailed order sent by the Government of Hong Kong:

1. Among the people from Shanghai, there is a young Chinese named Lu Ming. You should negotiate with him directly.

2. The person holding the gun must obey your command and sit in a covered truck throughout the process without showing his face.

3. Their task is to pick up the passenger from the Kowloon Hotel. No one is allowed to leave the team, and no one is allowed to stay in Hong Kong after picking up the passenger.

The British officer is finally relieved now that the task entrusted to him by the Governor of Hong Kong has been completed, although it is a bit inexplicable and even has a serious sense of disobedience.

When did Hong Kong allow people to enter with guns?

Since it was granted by the government, he couldn't say anything. It is estimated that the Governor of Hong Kong felt uncomfortable because of this, so he didn't show up and entrusted him with this embarrassing task.

During the period of the Republic of China, the relationship between Shanghai and Hong Kong was intricate. The former was far greater than the latter in terms of financial resources, and the former relied on the latter in terms of commerce, trade and financial circulation.

"How do you know I'm here?" Sheng Muyi put her arms around Yuan Ziyuan, her face full of confusion.

In the morning, as soon as she finished her breakfast, she was taken away by several British soldiers who broke in, and they put her in a room on the top floor without any explanation, and the room next to her was also emptied.

Sheng Muyi asked these soldiers in English what was going on and why she was under house arrest. One soldier replied that she was following orders and didn't know anything else. Even if she showed her American passport, the soldier just snapped his fingers.

Sheng Muyi was apprehensive, fearing that the Japanese would bribe the British to take her away, but she never expected that Lu Ming and sister Yuan Ziyuan would come to pick her up.

After a while, Lu Ming stood up, a little embarrassed, feeling that he was too impulsive.

This didn't match up with the scene he imagined when he met Sheng Muyi again, but at that moment just now, he completely lost his self-control. If it was on a beach or grass, he might collapse to the ground.

"Lu Ming tracked your information, and Uncle Sheng immediately ordered a chartered ferry to take us here." Yuan Ziyuan pointed at Lu Ming and smiled.

"I knew he could do it, and he would find it." Sheng Muyi stroked Yuan Ziyuan's shoulders, their eyes met, and they said something that only the two of them could understand.

Lu Ming came over and looked Sheng Muyi up and down, he seemed to be fine, and couldn't help but smile.

Sheng Muyi puts on a little makeup, looks great, and doesn't appear to be suffering at all.

"Small, you're still crying at such a big age, let my sister hug you." Sheng Muyi said while hugging Lu Ming and stroking his head.

"Mu Yi, I'm not a child anymore, don't touch my head all the time." Lu Ming protested.

Since childhood, whether it was Sheng Muyi, Yuan Ziyuan or Yuan Mingzhu, they all liked to touch his head, which made him always feel that he was too young to grow up.

"Lu, people have received it, you must leave immediately." The British officer said.

"Okay, let's go right away." Lu Ming looked around and said.

"Sister Mu Yi." At this time, Yuan Mingzhu came over to hug Mu Yi.

Sheng Muyi wanted to ask something else, but Lu Ming immediately said: "Let's talk about it on the way back, if you have anything, pack it up quickly."

Before Lu Ming finished speaking, a British soldier had already taken out a suitcase from Sheng Muyi's room and put it at Sheng Muyi's feet.

The British officer yelled, and the four soldiers stomped their feet and walked out in a neat manner.

It's almost like driving them away.

Lu Ming smiled helplessly. It seems that he is really not welcomed by the Hong Kong government, so he should leave quickly.

Just as Lu Ming was about to take a step, a middle-aged British gentleman appeared, wearing a standard suit, bow tie, and British mustache.

Sheng Muyi hurried over to greet the Englishman, and introduced to Lu Ming in English: "Mr. Henry, the chairman of Kowloon Hotel, he has been protecting me these past few months."

Then pointing to Lu Ming, Yuan Ziyuan and Yuan Mingzhu, he introduced to the British gentleman, "This is my younger brother and younger sister. They have come to take me home."

The British gentleman waved with a reluctant expression on his face, and a waiter came over with a plate on which there were several bakelite records.

Mr. Henry said: "Ms. Sheng likes to listen to these records the most during her stay, the opera selections of Gustav Holst and Henry Purcell. I hope they can always accompany Miss Sheng, so I can also remember them. Stay at our Kowloon Hotel and remember the good times we spent together."

Sheng Muyi couldn't help crying, went up and hugged Mr. Henry gently, touched his left and right cheeks politely, and said softly: "Thank you Mr. Henry for your selfless help, welcome to come to Shanghai when you are free, I will wait for Mr. arrival."

Lu Ming stepped forward to shake hands with Mr. Henry, and Yuan Mingzhu took the initiative to take the records.

The next step was very simple, almost everyone returned the same way, except for one more Sheng Muyi.

Although Sheng Muyi was full of questions, she didn't ask any more, but sat quietly in the car, looking at Lu Ming, Yuan Ziyuan and Yuan Mingzhu.

The three of Lu Ming didn't speak, and they were all immersed in the indescribable mental shock.

"It's really like a dream." Lu Ming sighed as he was almost at the pier.

"That's right, I still think it's a dream." Sheng Muyi smiled wryly.

Everything that happened just now was too unreal, more bizarre and unreal than a dream.

Sheng Muyi never thought of going back after she came out of Shanghai, she thought it was a farewell, she would change her name and surname in the future, and live a secluded life in a place that no one knew.

After being besieged in the Kowloon Hotel, even this became a difficult dream to realize. What she feared most was being caught by the Japanese and taken to Japan.

Under the leadership of British military officers, a group of people entered the pier through that special channel, and then boarded the ferry.

At this time, Huang Yanning came up and smiled wryly at Lu Ming: "This is what we call entering Hong Kong with guns, and this is called picking up people? The Japanese don't even have a ghost, and we don't even have a finger to use."

They didn't come here to pick up people, they just picked up the loneliness, they sat in the caravan back and forth, didn't even see the street scene of Hong Kong, and went back to the boat in a daze.

Lu Ming apologized and said: "Isn't this the best way? If you don't use blood, it's better not to use you."

"That's true, but..." Huang Yanning smiled wryly, but he couldn't do anything, he always felt that things shouldn't be like this, and it was a bit too boring.

"There are many plans for this matter, and now this is the best result." Lu Ming explained.

"Well, I can understand." Huang Yanning nodded.

"Goodbye Hong Kong! Let's return!" Lu Ming walked to the bow and announced loudly to the empty pier.
