Starting from 40, holding the Star Mall to lead the motherland

Chapter 67 Fishing in Troubled Waters
Han Hui slept very well, and was afraid that she would oversleep and delay tonight's affairs, so she entered the space, first added two barrels of gasoline, and then took out "Records of the Grand Historian" to read.

The book "Records of the Grand Historian" may seem boring at first glance, but once you understand it, you will find it very interesting, and you can learn a lot from it if you delve deeper.

After watching for more than two hours, Han Hui couldn't hold on any longer, so she went back into the simulation cabin to practice her shooting skills. It was almost twelve o'clock when she came out of the space.

Han Hui put on a mask and a bulletproof vest, then a cotton jacket and trousers, and then a helmet and a mask.

Pushing open the window, the biting cold wind instantly penetrated her collar, and Han Hui couldn't help but shiver. How could this winter in Shanghai be even colder than back in Zhangshu Village?

Han Hui lived on the second floor. She first hung under the window and then slid to the ground after closing the window.

Upon leaving the dormitory, Han Hui headed straight for the Xinan Trading Company warehouse. Han Mengyang had revealed that the company was backed by Adolf, the US Embassy's military attaché. He not only resold controlled materials like arms and pharmaceuticals, but also peddled intelligence, reportedly making a killing. Han Hui would show no mercy to those who profited from their country's crisis.

"Hu, hu, hu..."

The withered trees bared their teeth and claws in the fierce wind, and their branches trembled in the cold. The wind cut my cheeks like ice knives, and my exhaled breath instantly turned into a cloud of white mist and dissipated before my eyes.

Three minutes later, Han Hui arrived outside the Xinan Trading Company's warehouse. Just as she took out her master key and prepared to unlock it, she heard a whistle in the distance.

Han Hui had already worked three night shifts at the docks yesterday and knew exactly what the whistle signified. It meant someone was stealing goods, but the location was some distance from the Xinan Trading Warehouse. Unexpectedly, at this very moment, a noise was heard from within the warehouse.

Thinking back to what Zhang Ziqiang had said, some trading houses would arrange for bodyguards to live in their warehouses to protect the valuables. This was probably the case with the Xinan Trading Company's warehouse. However, it was clear from this that the goods in the warehouse were extremely valuable, most likely arms.

Now that she had come across this opportunity, Han Hui couldn't possibly return empty-handed. If she missed this opportunity, she wouldn't know when she would get the next one.

There was soon no movement in the warehouse again, and Han Hui continued to use the master key to open the warehouse door.

The moment the warehouse door was pushed open, a man rushed towards Han Hui like a hungry tiger, grabbing her shoulders with his strong arms.

Han Hui's eyes flashed, and she dodged to the side. The man missed, stumbling forward a few steps. She seized the opportunity, raised her leg, and delivered a swift side kick that landed squarely on the man's back. Like a kite with its string cut, he slammed headfirst into the wall with a dull thud.

Before he could react, Han Hui stabbed him in the heart, stirring it twice. When he was no longer breathing, she immediately put him into the space and went into the warehouse.

As Han Hui entered the warehouse, a muscular man with a dagger stabbed at her viciously. Han Hui nimbly leaped back, the dagger glancing off the edge of her clothes. She seized the man's weakness, revealed by his excessive force, and quickly stepped forward, firmly grasping his wrist with both hands and twisting it hard.

There was a crisp sound of bone breaking, and the dagger fell to the ground. Then, with an elbow strike, it hit the man's chest. Finally, Han Hui slit his throat with the knife and put it back into the space.

After dealing with the two men, Han Hui put everything in the warehouse into the space and left quickly.

Han Hui reached the dormitory building very smoothly. Because the walls had been painted not long ago, Han Hui took off her shoes and jumped up to the second-floor window sill, opened the window and climbed into the dormitory.

Arriving at the dormitory, Han Hui removed her helmet, cotton jacket, and pants and placed them in her space. Then, in her pajamas, she crawled into bed. The bed felt cold, so Han Hui quickly bought two hot water bottles at the mall, filled them with hot water, and placed them under the covers. Soon, the bed was warm.

After about ten minutes, Han Hui heard many footsteps, and the sound was getting closer and closer. Soon, she heard someone knocking on the door downstairs: "Come out, come out quickly, or I'll kick the door down."

Han Hui put on the red cotton-padded jacket and trousers that Huang Shufen had made for her, then put on her hat as she opened the door. Seeing that the person leading the group was Zhang Ziqiang, she pretended to be surprised: "Brother Zhang..."

Zhang Ziqiang nodded. "An assassin has escaped into this building. We are going to search your room now."

The man standing behind Zhang Ziqiang said with a stern face, "Go downstairs and wait!"

Han Hui was very cooperative, taking her cotton coat from the hanger and leaving the dormitory. As she walked down the stairs, she pulled gloves from her coat pocket and put them on. It was so late at night, if she didn't wrap herself up tightly, she would easily catch a cold!

There were already quite a few people downstairs. Han Hui rarely stayed in the dorms, and she didn't usually interact with these people. She didn't recognize any of them this time. She had no interest in talking to them, so she just stood to the side.

Some of them were wearing pajamas, some were wearing autumn clothes, and they were shivering in the strong wind by the river, and some had runny noses. Seeing Han Hui wrapped up tightly, she couldn't help but envy her.

Jian Ruoyang, deputy chief of the security department, led a search of the dormitories. They first felt the bedding; if it was cold, it indicated a problem. Then they searched the closets and under the beds. The dormitories at the docks were small and uniform, and these were the only two places where someone could hide.

No suspect was found after searching the entire dormitory, but that doesn't mean everyone is safe.

Jian Ruoyang said to everyone, "You can go back to the dormitory now, but you are not allowed to leave the room without notice."

Uh, they're going to be imprisoned in the dormitory. Luckily, it's dark tonight with no moon or stars. She's fast, so even if someone hears something, they won't suspect her.

Seeing that everyone else had gone upstairs, Han Hui wanted to leave as well, but was stopped by Jian Ruoyang, who asked her to follow Zhang Ziqiang and guard the dormitory, not letting anyone in or out.

Han Hui was unwilling and said, "Chief Jian, I have been transferred to the Operations Department. The Security Department's affairs are no longer within my responsibilities."

Zhang Ziqiang winked at her, but Han Hui didn't see it. Of course, even if she had, she would still refuse. She was now in the operations department, and her job was to follow the instructions and arrangements of the operations department leader.

Jian Ruoyang said, "Xiao Han, the security department is short-staffed right now. You came from our security department and you have good kung fu skills. Please help maintain order tonight."

Han Hui was still reluctant. It was freezing cold, and all she wanted was to get back to her warm bed. "Chief Jian, I'm from the Security Department, so I'll definitely help you. But I have to go to work tomorrow morning, and I can't stand staying up all night!"

Given the current situation, I probably won't be able to go to work on time tomorrow. If she wants to anger Jian Ruoyang and make her stay at the dock unbearable, then she can just resign. After all, her purpose of coming to the dock has been achieved.

Jian Ruoyang was very unhappy, but he had originally asked Han Hui for help, so there was nothing he could do if she was unwilling!
