Era: Starting from divorce from female college student

Chapter 153, Thousand Miles Home

January 5, 1959, the 26th day of the 11th lunar month.

In the office at No. 4, Dongzhimen Beizhong Street, Beijing, Andrei Razov listened to the work report of his subordinate Orlov Sobyanin and fell into deep thought.

The latter was responsible for inquiring about detailed information about Zhao Mancang, especially about Zhao Mancang's life experience, which was the focus of the focus.

According to the news from Moscow, what happened in the Bolshelicinsky camp was suspected to be done by Zhao Mancang.

"From the information we've gathered, Zhao Mancang once single-handedly carried two to three hundred kilograms of prey while hunting in Northeast China. However, this information isn't entirely accurate."

"Last October, Zhao Mancang and eight members of the steel plant's security department went hunting in the Yanshan Mountains. They also hunted several hundred kilograms of prey."

It was October 19th. Zhao Mancang and his team harvested a total of eleven wild boars, one of which weighed more than 200 kilograms, two weighed around 100 kilograms, and the other nine weighed less than 100 kilograms.

The weight of the wild boar alone is over 500 kilograms.

In addition, there are more than 20 swans and other birds, as well as four wild goats, two deer, five roe deer, one musk deer and five hares. The weight here is definitely more than 300 kilograms.

All together, the prey weighs at least eight or nine hundred kilograms.

There were only nine people in Zhao Mancang's group, but most of the prey were trophies hunted by Zhao Mancang, and even the ones transported back from the mountains were Zhao Mancang's.

The mountains near the suburbs of Beijing are basically bare, and their ecology has not yet fully recovered.

Only by going deep into the mountains and forests can we recover better and find so many prey.

In other words, it was definitely not an easy task for Zhao Mancang and his nine companions to carry back nearly a thousand kilograms of prey from the deep mountains.

If Zhao Mancang had not contributed the most, he would not have taken the most when the meat was divided.

All of this was talked about with great relish by the neighbors in Baochao Hutong, and Orlov Sobyanin could easily obtain this information.

Therefore, the conclusion is that Zhao Mancang is as strong as an ox and has first-class marksmanship, and is stronger than many special forces soldiers.

"Another point is that on October 14th of last year, our KGB sent seven people, including Zach Voki and Eric Russell, to capture Zhao Mancang alive, but they were completely wiped out."

When Orlov Sobyanin said this, he carefully looked at Andrei Razov's expression. Seeing that the latter's expression did not change, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"And their special operations team leader Zhang Jinfu personally invited Zhao Mancang to join them, and even took time out on the 20th to personally visit Zhao Mancang to invite him."

"Therefore, we have reason to believe that Zhao Mancang's strength is definitely far beyond our imagination. He is very likely the culprit of the brawl at the Bolishelchinsky camp, and not a master sent by the Sam family."

The conclusion has been reached, and all the evidence points to Zhao Mancang, but Andrei Razov still has doubts.

Because according to the news from Moscow, Zhao Mancang was buried alive by an avalanche.

No matter what kind of expert he is, can he survive in the face of nature?

That was a big avalanche, not a small avalanche.

It can't be that people like Fedor Godunov and Kolesnikov are lying, right?
Andrei Razov couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it and asked Orlov Sobyanin to organize the information and send it to Moscow.

In the office of the KGB Moscow headquarters, Prokhot Rublev saw two encrypted telegrams and fell into deep thought for a moment.

One telegram was delivered by Andrei Razov and his team, and the other contained information collected by Kafelnikov, Youzhny Savdenko and others.

The contents of the two telegrams are almost identical.

In other words, Zhao Mancang is really very powerful, and he is definitely not as simple as recorded in the information.

But even if we get the information now, it’s useless because no one knows where Zhao Mancang has gone.

A tight net had been set up in Ust-Kamenogorsk, Uragansky region, Charyshsky region and other places, but Zhao Mancang seemed to have evaporated from the face of the earth and disappeared completely.

In places like Ust-Kamenogorsk, there were no unusual situations, and it was completely peaceful and prosperous.

Zhao Mancang just disappeared without a trace.

Now we can only rely on people like Kafelnikov to keep a close eye on Lin Wan and her daughter in the capital.

Although Prokhot Rublev was very unwilling, he really had no other choice at the moment.

Albert Hotel, Moscow.

"What? You're saying Comrade Zhao Mancang isn't dead? And he even turned the camp of an entire reinforced company upside down?"

In the hotel room, Pei Yimin's eyes widened after hearing Ye Youzhang's words.

There were only the two of them in the room, and this was the information Ye Youzhang had obtained from other places, so he couldn't believe it at the moment and ran to Pei Yimin to verify it.

"I haven't had much contact with Comrade Zhao Mancang. Perhaps Dean Qu and the others have more contact, so they should know more, right?"

Ye Youzhang shook his head upon hearing this and said:
“This matter should not be known to too many people.”

After a moment's silence, he continued:

"How about this, let's report the news to the capital first. We'll wait for the capital's reply as to what to do next."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yimin could only nod.

Medical communication today is in name only.

Qu Guochun, Li Jinxiong, Luo Dehong, Gu Shouzhi and Dai Yaomin continued to participate in this exchange, but in fact, without the guidance of the leader Zhao Mancang, they had to rely on themselves for many things.

The technology is not something that students like Konstantin Alexei, Matvey Serebryakov, and Sergey Lazarev can master immediately after Zhao Mancang teaches them.

Even if Li Jinxiong, who had served as Zhao Mancang's assistant surgeon several times, was asked to handle a limb replantation operation alone, he would definitely be confident that he could complete it if it was a cutting severance operation with a smooth cross-section and less tissue damage to the adjacent sections.

But if it is other cases of rolling fracture, extrusion fracture and tearing fracture, Li Jinxiong is not so confident.

You may stand on the operating table with gritted teeth, but the result after the operation may be that the severed limb will not recover well.

However, the situation of medical communication is no longer the most important thing. The current priority is to find Zhao Mancang and confirm whether he is dead or alive.

Zhou Deqing was still lying in the hospital, while Lian Qiuting had lost all her energy and spirit.

Qu Guochun even became distracted several times during the operation and finally had to pause the operation and take a rest.

Kolesnikov had been interrogated several times and was ordered not to leave Moscow and to be available at any time.

In the capital, at the I-shaped building on Ministry of Foreign Affairs Street, Qi Zhengze received a telegram from Moscow. After reading it, he was shocked.

"This is outrageous! The person was lost in Moscow and was already covered by an avalanche. And yet they're still suspecting me?"

Qi Zhengze was very angry and went to see his leader with the telegram.

Half an hour later, Qi Zhengze came out of the leader's office and immediately asked Moscow to investigate the results as soon as possible. He wanted to see Zhao Mancang alive or dead!

How to find it?
The primeval forest is far away from human settlements, and it is freezing cold, making it impossible to send a rescue team for assistance.

Now we can only wait until the ice and snow melt in the summer and then find a solution.

If Zhao Mancang was really dead, his body would definitely be well preserved. Otherwise, it is very likely that Zhao Mancang escaped.

Qi Zhengze did not inform Lin Wan. After all, according to the actual situation, Zhao Mancang should not return to the capital until the end of January, and then he would celebrate the Spring Festival in the capital.

The original plan was for a three-month medical exchange, starting from leaving the capital on October 25th and returning to the capital at the end of January the following year.

It is only the beginning of January, so after discussing with his superiors, Qi Zhengze does not plan to notify Zhao Mancang's family.

However, some information cannot be blocked by simply blocking it.

That day, Alfred came to No. 4 Dongzhimen Beizhong Street and chatted with Orlov Sobyanin. The latter accidentally let slip and revealed the matter about Zhao Mancang.

In Orlov Sobyanin's view, Zhao Mancang's incident was neither big nor small, but it was definitely explosive enough.

Anyway, Andrei Razov didn't ask for confidentiality, so it shouldn't be a problem to chat with Alefred, right?
This is nothing, but the problem is that Alefred later chatted with the Moscow engineers Kiriakov, Kotolovsky, Dmitry and others from the steel plant, and was overheard by their driver Xie Fayue, who was also a member of the security department of the steel plant.

When Xie Fayue heard that this matter was actually related to Zhao Mancang, he naturally pricked up his ears to eavesdrop.

Although Xie Fayue did not understand Russian, after Alefred left, Kiriakov still asked Xie Fayue a few questions privately, which aroused Xie Fayue's curiosity.

Because of this, Xie Fayue finally found out what Zhao Mancang had done in Moscow.

"No, even a massive avalanche couldn't bury a person alive? Then how powerful must Zhao Mancang be?"

Kiriakov did not tell Xie Fayue that the man suspected to be Zhao Mancang had caused havoc in the Bolshelicinsky camp, otherwise Xie Fayue would probably be even more surprised.

When Xie Fayue knew about this, it was equivalent to Li Baoguo, Xiao Shutie, Han Xiaochuan and others also knowing about it.

So when Lin Wan heard the news, she almost fell down.

"Captain Li, this can't be true, right?"

After Lin Wan came back to her senses, she hurriedly looked at Li Baoguo, hoping to find the answer from his expression:

"Mancang is a lucky man, nothing will happen to him."

Lin Wan found it hard to believe that Zhao Mancang was buried alive by the avalanche and that he might have escaped.

"Yes, sister-in-law, Brother Mancang will definitely be fine. He is so lucky, God will definitely protect him."

Han Xiaochuan hurriedly said comfortingly.

"Where did you hear this news?" Lin Wan still wanted to confirm the authenticity of the news.

Just when Lin Wan was anxious and worried, Zhao Mancang, who was far away in London, was already sitting in the airport waiting hall waiting for the flight to take off.

In the past few days, he originally wanted to sell some gold in London to exchange for some US dollars for emergency or as a capital for starting a business in the future.

By the way, I was doing a fishing operation, and unexpectedly I caught a big fish.

Mes Edbet, a gold shop owner in the London gold trading market, contributed 1.94 million pounds and 18 tons of gold to Zhao Mancang.

That's right, this bastard has a total of 18 tons of gold deposited in the bank, with a total value of more than 4,629,000 pounds.

As a gold shop that has been in business for more than half a century, it is not surprising that their gold shop has accumulated so much gold considering that Mes Edbet collaborated with local gangs to kill ordinary people.

There is a saying that goes, "Gold is in troubled times, antiques are in prosperous times."

For a businessman like Mes Edbet, he is a person who specializes in gold trading. Of course, he is familiar with the business and he has to save both money and gold.

Judging from the other party's investment habit of dispersing 1.94 million pounds into multiple banks, Zhao Mancang knew that the 1.94 million pounds and gold worth 4.629 million pounds revealed by the other party should only be a part of the money, and the other party must have other money hidden.

Great Britain, the empire on which the sun never sets, is also a capitalist country, and the wealth of its people is far beyond imagination.

So it's not surprising that Mes Edbet has so much money.

In the end, Zhao Mancang did not kill this man.

Because he believed that the other party would definitely return to his old business and regroup, and the next time he had the opportunity to come to London, Zhao Mancang would come to find this person again.

"Ladies and gentlemen, passengers bound for Garden City, please note that check-in for your flight CA321 is now open. Please proceed to check-in counter number six."

When Zhao Mancang was taking stock of his gains in London, the radio above his head suddenly sounded.

In the 1950s, British Airways had already developed quite a lot of international long-distance routes, such as the transatlantic route, which was one of the most popular routes and brought huge profits to the airline.

British Airways was the first airline to fly a transatlantic jet airliner, using the Comet 4 to fly a direct flight from London to New York.

In addition to transatlantic routes, there are also international long-distance flights to North Africa, Australia, Asia, etc. For example, in order to ensure smooth mail exchanges between Australia and New Zealand and the British mainland, British Airways also pioneered the world's longest cargo route known as the 'Horseshoe Route'.

There are three flights from London to Asia, namely Tokyo, Garden City and Colombo.

Zhao Mancang took a British Airways flight to Garden City and bought a first-class sleeper ticket. The one-way fare was US$650.

This price is quite expensive because at that time, transoceanic flights were actually a privilege for a few wealthy people, and ordinary people generally bought cruise tickets for transoceanic travel.

Zhao Mancang, who was far away in London, certainly could not choose to take a cruise ship to travel across the ocean because it would be a waste of time.

You have to know that it is already January 1959, and February 7th is the Lunar New Year's Eve.

He also wanted to return to the capital to celebrate the Spring Festival with Lin Wan, because this was the first Spring Festival after he and Lin Wan got married. If the couple did not celebrate the New Year together, he would definitely not be happy, and Lin Wan would probably be sad too.

Besides, Zhao Mancang had no idea what was happening in the capital. He had no idea whether Pei Yimin and the others had reported the news that he was buried alive in the avalanche back to the capital.

Ever since he left the underground cave and decided not to return to Moscow, he also planned to cut off ties with Pei Yimin and others.

In the future, he plans to live in Hong Kong Island and no longer plans to make a living in Beijing.

It would be best if Lin Wan was willing to leave the capital and live with him in Hong Kong Island. But what if she is not willing?
Anyway, Zhao Mancang is not sure now, and everything needs to wait until he returns to the capital before making plans.

After boarding the flight with his ticket, Zhao Mancang found a seat at the front of the first-class cabin and sat down.

The Boeing 377 is a Boeing C29 transport aircraft modified from the B97. Simply put, it is a long-range piston engine passenger aircraft that uses some new technologies.

It is also known as the Stratocruiser. It is a long-range luxury passenger aircraft designed by Boeing after World War II. It is powered by four piston engines. It has a maximum range of 6,759 kilometers, a cruising speed of 547 kilometers per hour, and a maximum level flight speed of 604 kilometers per hour.

There are only five first-class berths, 26 first-class seats and 18 travel seats, making a total of three cabins.

The direct flight distance from London to the Garden City is more than 377 kilometers. With the maximum range of the Boeing passenger aircraft, it is impossible to fly directly, so it must transfer or stop in the Middle East or South Asia.

After Zhao Mancang sat down, he picked up the newspaper and started reading.

He was thinking about his next way to survive after Hong Kong Island, but he was soon interrupted.

Because someone accidentally touched his arm, and instead of apologizing, the other person started scolding him.

"Fuck, how can you be here, you yellow monkey? This is a first-class sleeper cabin, not a place for a yellow monkey like you."

Bernstein Keswick's face looked very ugly. He pointed at Zhao Mancang's nose and cursed at him arrogantly.

As a twenty-year-old young man, Bernstein Keswick was an extremely unruly person with a bad temper. As long as something happened that was not to his liking, he would immediately ignite his anger.

Before setting off today, he had a car accident on the way and knocked down a Kimura man.

Kimura spoke with a very authentic London accent, pointed at Bernstein and Keswick and cursed them several times, and said that he would use legal tools to make the latter pay.

Just because this Kimura is a lawyer and a British citizen.

Bernstein Keswick was so angry that he could no longer suppress his anger when he was threatened by an ignorant yellow monkey on his own territory.

However, their family's butler, Ai Wendek, spoke up to remind Bernstein Keswick that the man he bumped into was a very famous British lawyer of Kimura descent in London, named Morita Shuei.

In Great Britain, lawyers are very powerful and have a very high status.

The British legal system has a long history and profound traditions. Lawyers enjoy a high status and reputation in society. Senior lawyers, such as barristers and royal counsel, usually have a high social status, enjoy certain privileges, and enjoy high respect in court.

Lawyer Shuei Morita, although he is a British of Kimura descent, he is a lawyer and so famous, so he must have a group of lawyers behind him.

So, Bernstein Keswick had no choice but to endure it.

Because of this incident, his good mood for traveling today was completely gone, and he was filled with anger.

It was clearly him who touched Zhao Mancang's arm, but he turned the tables and even used such insulting words. Zhao Mancang would certainly not tolerate this.

"Apologize immediately!" Zhao Mancang's image had changed a lot at this time.

After all, he didn't want Moscow to know that he was in London. Although the probability was small, who knew?

Since the late 377s, relations between Moscow and the Western world have eased. For example, in , the British Civil Aviation Department issued a license allowing British Airways to use Boeing passenger aircraft to return from Moscow to London.

At this time, Moscow's oil trade gradually developed, and was exported from East Berlin to Western Europe, and other trade exchanges also gradually increased.

Besides, Moscow probably has an unknown number of KGB agents stationed in London.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Zhao Mancang to appear on the streets of London and show off, right?
He disguised himself quite a bit, one of which was to use the experience points earned by the top people like Mes Edbe to exchange for colored contact lenses from the system, making his eyes look blue instead of black as before.

In addition to colored contact lenses, he also wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and his hair grew much longer, making him look a bit like a literary youth.

He also grew a long beard, looking like a retro teacher, and this was exactly what Zhao Mancang wanted.

Coupled with the suit and tie, he looks a bit like a gentleman, but his hairstyle ruins the image.

But all this cannot change the fact that Zhao Mancang is a yellow person, so that bastard Bernstein Keswick will keep biting him.

"What the hell did you just say? Asking me to apologize?"

Bernstein Keswick seemed to have heard the best joke of the century. He moved his body in an extremely exaggerated manner and laughed with a very rich expression. The next moment, his face turned cold and he said with gritted teeth:

"Yellow monkey, you should know that this is the territory of the British Empire. How dare you speak to me like that? Do you think your life is too long? The person who asked me to apologize hasn't been born yet. Fuck, get out of here. I don't want to see you again."

Bernstein Keswick, who was full of sarcasm, became more and more crazy and arrogant.

At this moment, their family's butler, Ai Wendek, was not around, so he became even more unscrupulous.

At this time, two flight attendants had come, and even the captain stood aside and came over to persuade Bernstein Keswick.

It was obvious that the captain knew Bernstein Keswick, because he was a member of the Keswick family. The flight from London to Garden City had only been in operation for less than two years, and members of the Keswick family could be seen on this flight most of the time.

At the same time, the captain also realized that Zhao Mancang was a stranger, and he knew who he should help just by looking at the skin color.

So the captain comforted Bernstein and Keswick while asking Zhao Mancang to apologize.

The latter was almost laughing out of anger. He really has no shame at all.

"He was the one who bumped into me, so why isn't he the one who apologized?"

"Sir, I didn't see that, so please apologize to him so we can take off on time."

After hearing the captain's words, Zhao Mancang immediately didn't want to explain anymore, because there was no way the other party would reason with him.

Since reason won't work, let's just use fists.

Bang!
Zhao Mancang threw a quick punch, knocking Bernstein Keswick unconscious, and then said to the stewardess next to him:

"Could you please lift this sleeping gentleman to his seat, please?"

Then he said to the captain:

"Captain, there is no room for debate now. Please return to your seats and prepare for takeoff."

The captain, the flight attendant and the other two first-class passengers were stunned and did not come to their senses for a long time.

I have to say that Zhao Mancang's way of solving the problem is really quick, accurate and ruthless.

He knocked the person unconscious directly. The control of force is simply amazing.

After everyone recovered from their shock, they looked at Zhao Mancang with eyes full of awe: This is a ruthless person, not to be trifled with!

However, after the captain returned to the cockpit, he called the airport police and prepared to have Zhao Mancang thrown off the plane.

After all, this is London, not anywhere else, so it is normal for the captain to do this.

One is a strange yellow man, and the other is a member of the Keswick family. Even a fool would know how to choose.

However, the captain never expected that Zhao Mancang would come directly to the cockpit and remind him to close the cabin door quickly and prepare for takeoff.

Looking back and seeing Zhao Mancang's eyes, the captain was so panicked that he didn't dare to look at him, and could only hurriedly tell the flight attendant to do her job.

Because Zhao Mancang's eyes were too sharp, like the cold eyes looking at a dead person, indifferent and ruthless, making the captain feel cold all over.

By the time the airport police arrived, the plane had already appeared on the runway, roaring, and was about to take off.

The police were dumbfounded, and then they were informed by their superiors that the captain had resolved the matter.

Zhao Mancang looked at the scenery outside the window rapidly receding, and his mood finally relaxed a lot. He finally went home.

The Garden City was not his destination, but the city was very close to Hong Kong and Kowloon.

When the plane reached an altitude of more than 8,000 meters, Bernstein Keswick finally woke up, but before he could cause trouble for Zhao Mancang, he was knocked unconscious by another punch.

The flight attendant and two other passengers who were standing by and watching this scene once again looked at it in awe, and then acted as if it had nothing to do with them, pretending not to see it.

There are a total of five first-class sleeper berths in the first-class cabin, but only four tickets have been sold, leaving one seat empty.

So, apart from Zhao Mancang and Bernstein Keswick, there were only two other passengers.

The plane stopped in Cairo, North Africa. After one passenger boarded the first-class cabin, it was immediately filled with people.

The straight-line distance from London to Cairo is more than 377 kilometers, so the Boeing passenger plane can certainly reach it directly.

After waiting for about six hours in transit, Zhao Mancang's flight took off again and then stopped in New Delhi for refueling, which wasted another three hours.

The distance from Cairo to New Delhi is more than 1,700 kilometers, which is neither very far nor very close.

After taking off from New Delhi Airport, you can fly directly to the garden city Paya Lebar Airport.

The flight distance from New Delhi to the Garden City is more than 4,000 kilometers, and the entire journey took nearly eight hours. Zhao Mancang's butt was sore from flying this time.

After leaving Paya Lebar Airport, Zhao Mancang came to the Raffles Hotel, currently the best hotel in the Garden City.

As soon as he arrived, Bernstein, Keswick and three other first-class passengers followed in.

It’s true that we are enemies on a narrow road.

When Bernstein Keswick saw Zhao Mancang, he suddenly felt pain in his neck because he had been hit several times by Zhao Mancang and had been in a coma all the way.

He woke up several times, but was greeted by Zhao Mancang's eyes, so he fell asleep obediently and didn't dare to grin again.

This is the best way to deal with such people.

If it weren't for this, the other party would probably still be making a fuss.

By 1959, the Garden City had generally stabilized and had most of the conditions for take-off development.

Zhao Mancang stayed here for a day and a night. After a good rest, he took a Cathay Pacific flight back to Hong Kong and Kowloon.

However, when the plane flew over Kowloon Walled City, Zhao Mancang was still a little frightened when he looked at the rooftops below.

Kai Tak Airport is known as the most difficult airport to land at in the world. It is a huge test for pilots. Even experienced pilots have to be extremely vigilant when landing at Kai Tak Airport.

After landing safely at the airport, Zhao Mancang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even though he thought he was cheating and had a system to help him, if an accident occurred during the process, to be honest, he might not be able to escape.

Many air crashes in history were mostly caused by human factors, but the consequences of these air crashes left almost no survivors.

It can be said that the result is that everyone dies together, there is no other possibility.

After leaving Kai Tak Airport, Zhao Mancang took a taxi and went directly to the Peninsula Hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui.

The taxi driver spoke fluent Mandarin, but he had other plans.

Zhao Mancang felt very close, so he did not use English but communicated with the other party in Mandarin.

As a result, the other party took him around everywhere.

The distance from Kai Tak Airport to the Peninsula Hotel is about ten kilometers, which is not very far, but the other party actually took Zhao Mancang straight to Yau Ma Tei and Sha Tin. If Zhao Mancang had not spoken up, the other party would have continued to take him to Tai Po.

What an awesome taxi driver.

The other party must have heard Zhao Mancang's accent and thought that Zhao Mancang was not familiar with Hong Kong Island, so he tried to get more travel expenses by going in circles.

After arriving safely at the Peninsula Hotel, Zhao Mancang only paid the other party one dollar, which was considered a lot.

In the late 1950s in Hong Kong and Kowloon, one US dollar was exchanged for about 6.5 Hong Kong dollars, and one Hong Kong dollar was equivalent to about 0.15 US dollars.

The current price of a newspaper in Hong Kong and Kowloon is two or three cents. After a few years, the price of buying a newspaper will soar to fifty cents or even a few dollars.

Many workers only earn about three yuan a day for a day's hard labor.

At this time, the price of Yuen Long silk rice is six yuan per catty, which is five times more expensive than ordinary fragrant rice.

The Ford luxury car sold at a Hong Kong Island car dealership costs US$2,000, or HK$13,000.

Newly recruited uniformed police officers receive a monthly salary of HK$120, but their actual income is at least HK$300.

Cantaloupe from Guangxi costs 50 cents each.

Therefore, the prices in Hong Kong and Kowloon during this era were quite unreal.

This is simply because in Hong Kong and Kowloon at this time, the wealthy and tycoons have not yet become successful, the beauties and beautiful women have not yet faded, the whole society is in collusion between black and white, the order is chaotic, and no one has yet to formulate the rules between black and white.

Zhao Mancang felt that giving the taxi driver one dollar for the fare was already a lot.

After checking in at the Peninsula Hotel, Zhao Mancang packed up simply and went to bed.

He had been traveling all the time these past few days, and except for a brief day and night of rest in the Garden City, he had a very hard time the rest of the time.

On the third day, Zhao Mancang finally recovered to full health.

Early in the morning, Zhao Mancang stood in front of the bathroom mirror, carefully adjusting his appearance. After making sure there were no flaws, he went out.

At this time, his appearance had changed drastically.

The hairstyle is based on the slicked-back style of God of Gamblers, but the hair on both sides of the ears is pushed very short. At the same time, Zhao Mancang's hair is completely white because he dyed it white.

The gold-rimmed glasses were taken off, as were the colored contact lenses, and replaced with a pair of sunglasses, giving her a full Hong Kong style.

He no longer grew the beard, and his whole face looked whiter, much whiter than Zhao Mancang's skin color when he left the capital in October last year.

He was wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath, which made him look even more handsome with his height of 1.85 meters.

Zhao Mancang once again cleared the system's experience value balance. In order to distinguish himself from his past self, he made many changes.

He just wants to have a good wife and children and a warm bed, and if possible, he would rather lie down.

Therefore, he did this because he was afraid of being noticed by the KGB and other outsiders.

Zhao Mancang, wearing sunglasses, really couldn't believe that his look could attract the attention of those people?

From the Peninsula Hotel to the Star Ferry Pier, Zhao Mancang took a ferry to Central across the street.

In 1959, if you wanted to travel from Tsim Sha Tsui to Central in Hong Kong and Kowloon, you could only take a ferry because there was no cross-harbour tunnel at that time.

The ferry costs fifty cents a trip, the same price as a cantaloupe in Guangxi, and much more expensive than a newspaper.

Yesterday, Zhao Mancang asked the front desk of the Peninsula Hotel to help him exchange some Hong Kong dollars, so he doesn’t need to spend US dollars now.

It was around ten o'clock in the morning, and the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour was in full view, but it was not blue sky and white clouds, but cloudy.

The temperature in Hong Kong and Kowloon in January is very low, around 6 or 7 degrees Celsius, which is even colder than Beijing.

Maybe many people think this is nonsense. The temperature is six or seven degrees above zero and it hasn't frozen yet. How can it be cold?

But you have to know that this is Hong Kong and Kowloon, and the sea breeze blowing in from the sea is moist and cold enough to freeze you to the bone.

Moreover, the cold here is a magical attack, not the physical attack cold in the north, so these two kinds of cold are different concepts.

If it was the body from his previous life, Zhao Mancang would definitely be very adaptable to the temperature in Hong Kong and Kowloon, but this life is not so good.

Feeling the cold wind and looking at the beautiful scenery of Victoria Harbour, Zhao Mancang soon arrived at the Central Pier on the opposite bank.

"Master, do you know where there are more real estate agencies nearby?"

After coming out of the dock, Zhao Mancang waved to stop a taxi and asked the other party to go to the Governor's Mansion while chatting with them.

Before arriving at the Governor's Mansion, Zhao Mancang had already chosen his next destination.

So, he got off the bus halfway and walked into an agency.

Zhao Mancang will stay in Hong Kong Island for a long time in the future, so the most important thing to do now is to buy a property.

"Hello sir, are you looking to buy or rent a house? We are the most powerful real estate company in Hong Kong and Kowloon. Which house would you like to buy?"

"Sir, what kind of tea would you like? We have coffee, chrysanthemum tea, Tieguanyin, and Pu'er."

"Sir, please take a seat. I'll get you some information."

As soon as Zhao Mancang stepped into the door of the real estate agency, several agency staff came and greeted him warmly.

People who work in real estate sales are particularly discerning. The so-called "serving different dishes to different people" is exactly this.

Although Zhao Mancang took a taxi today, his outfit was enough.

"I want to buy a villa with better privacy. I heard that you have quite a few villas in Deepwater Bay, right?"

When it comes to luxury homes in Hong Kong and Kowloon, the most famous ones are those in the Mid-Levels area.

However, the Mid-Levels luxury homes in the 1950s were exclusive to the British. It was not until the Iron Lady knelt down in front of the Beijing City Hall in 1982 that many British people began to sell their Mid-Levels villas on Caine Road, Old Peak Road, Robinson Road and other places.

At this time, many wealthy and influential Chinese who had not yet made their fortune would choose places such as the Kowloon Peninsula and Deep Water Bay and Repulse Bay in the southern part of Hong Kong Island.

For example, in Deep Water Bay, which Zhao Mancang mentioned just now, there were already the Kadoorie family, the Huanggua Li family, the Pao Yue-kong family, etc. at that time.

"I'm sorry, sir, there are currently no villas for sale in Deep Water Bay. If you like villas, I recommend buying one in Repulse Bay."

Gao Yuling, the agent from Lixin Real Estate, looked embarrassed, but quickly changed her tone and started introducing the property.

"Repulse Bay is backed by Zi Luo Mountain, facing the Repulse Bay Beach and the sea view, and the air is fresh and natural."

After hearing these rigid introductions, Zhao Mancang shook his head and interrupted the other party's spell.

The Repulse Bay luxury residential area was developed more than 30 years ago, and the density of luxury homes there is already very high.

So Zhao Mancang doesn't like to go there to buy a house.
