Did he trick the young marshal into becoming sworn brothers and then go south to Huangpu Military Ac

"Since it's a gift for Lin Jun, we have no choice but to do our part."

Fujiwara smiled and could only accept the gifts reluctantly, solemnly assuring him, "Don't worry, Mr. Du, we will personally deliver these gifts to Mr. Lin."

Therefore, Du Yisheng personally took charge, leading a large convoy to escort the two young masters to the Shiliupu Wharf.

At this time, the dock was bustling with noise, with the sounds of ship horns and porters' chants mingling together, creating a noisy and chaotic scene.

According to custom, it would be absolutely impossible for a top-tier nobleman like the Fujiwara clan, of such high status, to carry heavy luggage and gift boxes himself.

All the luggage, along with the sandalwood gift boxes that Du Yisheng had stuffed over, was naturally placed on Ono Shinzo, who was playing the role of a follower!

Ono Shinzo was dressed in coarse linen clothes, his body was covered with large and small bags, and he was carrying a wooden box in his hands.

That perpetually cold and hard face was now struggling to control its expression.

He was the Crown Prince's personal bodyguard!

Now he's acting like a real servant, carrying luggage like a dog.

And they also had to watch two foolish spoiled brats chatting and laughing with the gang leader.

Ono Shinzo was furious, but there was nothing he could do.

In order to avoid revealing his identity and to fulfill the mission assigned by Hirohito to contact Lin Qi, he could only grit his teeth, swallow his humiliation, and silently endure it like a true follower.

"Gentlemen, please do not board the ship in a hurry."

Just as they were about to reach the boarding gate, Du Yisheng suddenly stopped.

He glanced at the pocket watch in his hand, smiled faintly, and then took out an exquisite cigar box from his pocket and opened it skillfully.

"There's still some time before the ship departs. This is a superb Cohiba that I just obtained through special channels. It's completely handmade and very old."

Du Yisheng pulled out two sticks and enthusiastically handed them to Fujiwara Heiji.

"This stuff is a rare find in Shanghai; you can't buy it even if you have the money. It's windy at sea, gentlemen. Why don't you have a cigar to warm up and see how it tastes? If you like it, I'll treat you to all your next trips to Cohiba!"

When Fujiwara no Heiji saw the exquisite goods, he couldn't resist any longer. His eyes lit up and he immediately took them.

Du Yisheng diligently struck a match and lit it for the two of them himself.

"call……"

The two took a deep breath, then exhaled a cloud of smoke, their faces showing expressions of ecstasy.

"Truly top-notch! Mr. Du, you're too kind!"

Fujiwara was full of praise.

The three of them stood on the dock, enjoying cigars and chatting about romance, oblivious to everything around them.

They were about thirty meters away.

Shinzo Ono is like a forgotten camel, all alone guarding a mountain of luggage and gift boxes.

He stared coldly at the three people chatting and laughing not far away, cursing Fujiwara Heiwa in his heart.

Just as Ono Shinzo's attention was fully focused on Fujiwara and the others, and his vigilance relaxed slightly.

Among the dockworkers carrying sacks, two men dressed in short clothes, their faces greasy and looking emaciated, silently approached him.

The two men moved with extremely light steps, their eyes revealing a ruthless and desperate nature born from prolonged hunger and a willingness to do anything to survive.

Their eyes were fixed on the exquisitely packaged, priceless sandalwood gift box next to Shinzo Ono.

This was arranged by Du Yisheng, using the two most ruthless and fearless Red Sticks among his disciples!

Their mission was not direct assassination, but to stage a typical and plausible crime of murder for money at the docks!

"Let's do it!"

A man whispered.

The two men, like starving wolves, suddenly darted out from the crowd.

There were no unnecessary movements or slogans.

One of them lunged at the sandalwood gift box, grabbed the heaviest one, and turned to run!

Although Shinzo Ono felt aggrieved, he was, after all, a top-notch bodyguard whose vigilance was ingrained in his very bones.

The moment someone gets close, all the muscles in my body tense up.

When Ono saw the beggar-like laborer snatching the things he was guarding, his already aggrieved feelings turned into a murderous glint in his eyes!

"court death!"

He roared inwardly, his long-standing instincts making him instinctively want to draw the pistol from his waist and shoot the ignorant bastard to death on the spot!

But just as his hand was about to touch the gun handle!

Shinzo Ono suddenly woke up.

"No! You absolutely cannot fire!"

He is now a lowly attendant!

Firing a gun in public would be inconsistent with the disguise and the persona one portrays.

That would expose his identity!

His secret infiltration of Guangzhou to meet Lin Qi would lead to complications.

For the sake of the bigger picture and to avoid revealing his identity, he had no choice but to endure it!

The only way to stop this robbery is through the most basic methods!

Ono Shinzo abruptly withdrew his gun, then roared and pounced like a tiger descending a mountain. He grabbed the man's collar, clenched his right fist, and slammed it hard into the man's face.

However, he made a miscalculation, which was also the most fatal one.

He thought they were just two ordinary dockworkers who were taking risks for money.

Little did he know, he was facing a Red Pole carefully selected and professionally trained by the Green Gang!

Just as Ono's attention was completely focused on the man who was grabbing the box, he threw a punch with all his might!

Another laborer, who had been hiding behind his companion and seemed to be paralyzed with fear, suddenly moved!

There was no panic in the man's eyes, only coldness and determination.

His right hand emerged from his sleeve like a venomous snake flicking its tongue.

He wasn't holding a knife or any other weapons, but rather a short-handled cutter, the most common type of knife on the dock, used for cutting sacks and ropes!

This knife may seem inconspicuous, but it is a real weapon!

Without any extra movements, the man rolled on the ground in a strange manner, directly avoiding Ono Shinzo's line of sight, and like a black lightning bolt, he approached him from the right side!

This is the weakest and most deadly area in the human body's defenses—the location of the liver and kidneys!

"Pfft!"

A dull thud, like a sharp blade piercing leather, rang out almost inaudibly amidst the cacophony of noise.

The rusty cleaver, ruthless and deadly, pierced precisely into Shinzo Ono's right rib, down to the hilt!

Without hesitation, the man twisted and turned his wrist like a meat grinder!

The sharp blade was frantically cutting through Shinzo Ono's fragile internal organs, instantly shredding his liver!
