Chapter 2687 The Goods Were Hijacked!
Wang Yue took Mingtai directly and openly instructed him to arrange the goods on the Wang family's ships, and the crew members were also originally from the Wang family.
Mingtai was aware of all this. After watching the goods being loaded onto the ship, he did not go with them to the Wang family's ship, but instead went to Wang Yue's ship.
When Wang Yue saw that Mingtai had come to his ship, he probably guessed Minglou and the others' plan. He immediately told Yu Manli to stay on his ship and not to leave.
At first, Yu Manli didn't quite understand, but when the ship was about to arrive in Guangzhou, a lot of small boats suddenly appeared in front of them, numbering at least dozens.
These small boats might be no match for warships, but they'd be more than capable of dealing with slower cargo ships.
Upon seeing this, Wang Yue immediately ordered the ships to speed up, showing no intention of confronting the small boats.
The German ships that Wang Yueming deployed were all modified and could travel at extremely high speeds, but the Wang family's ships were different; they simply couldn't shake off the small boats that had been prepared in advance.
Therefore, the Wang family's ships and their cargo were inevitably brought to a halt.
Once they were far enough away, Yu Manli looked back at the direction of the hijacked ships, but she couldn't see them clearly anymore. She still frowned and asked, "A-Yue, we clearly had a guard team, why didn't we protect those cargo ships? Letting them be hijacked like this, isn't that too frivolous?"
If someone else were to ask, Wang Yue would definitely say he was worried about other ambushes nearby, since there was a hint of reproach in his words.
But when Yu Manli asked this question, Wang Yue realized that Yu Manli really didn't understand, so he smiled and explained, "Manli, do you remember what Mingcheng said in our coffee shop that day?"
Mingcheng seemed to have known all along that Wang Manchun probably wanted to hand over the ships to us. It seems that the Ming family had their eyes on these ships from the start, otherwise they wouldn't have sent Mingtai along.
"Since the Ming family wants it, we'll give it to them. This will also completely rid us of the spies within the Wang family's fleet, allowing them to take those dissidents away and deal with them."
Upon hearing this, Yu Manli said uncertainly, "Brother, if Mingtai is from Chongqing, then it's not appropriate. After all, Chongqing will definitely use these ships on the battlefield, and they will be exposed sooner or later."
Wang Yue handed a pair of binoculars to Yu Manli and said with a smile, "Look at the people on those boats, they're playing suonas."
Yu Manli actually saw it with her binoculars. She quickly thought of the time when she and Wang Yue were killing bandits and they encountered people fighting in the Yan'an direction. They usually fired a few shots and then immediately sounded the charge. It seemed like that was the rhythm.
Yu Manli sighed and said with a smile, "Brother, you discovered those bugle calls in advance, so you deliberately gave them the shovel, right?"
"That's good. They were already short of ships, and with these Japanese vessels, they can secretly transport even more goods."
Wang Yue smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, if I hadn't seen someone with a suona on their waist, I wouldn't have been sure and wouldn't have just left."
As the two were talking, Mingtai rushed over. He seemed completely unaware of the situation and frowned, saying, "Boss Wang, our goods have been hijacked! Why did you just sail away? Why didn't you try to rescue them?" Yu Manli's expression turned strange upon hearing this. She looked at Mingtai, then at Wang Yue. Her meaning was clear: Wang Yue had said these people were from Yan'an, so why did Mingtai sound angry?
Wang Yue was mentally prepared for this, after all, Mingcheng couldn't possibly reveal it directly, and probably didn't even know what the nameplate was.
So Wang Yue said with a smile, "We just encountered robbers, there's nothing we can do. But you can send a telegram to your brother, I don't think he'll make me pay compensation. Of course, we'll also inform the Wang family, since this is their ship."
Mingtai was displeased that Wang Yue spoke so casually, but when he saw Wang Yue telling him to send a telegram to his older brother, he became somewhat suspicious!
Could there be some secret he didn't know about? As Mingtai thought this, he actually went to send a telegram.
Seeing that Mingtai had left, Yu Manli quickly said, "Then I'll send a telegram to Wang Manchun to inform her of what happened here, and let that ruthless woman feel sorry for herself again."
Wang Yue did not stop Yu Manli from sending the telegram. Moreover, with this telegram, they were cleared of suspicion. However, it was a different story for Wang Manchun.
Since the Wang family's fleet has now fallen into enemy hands, they can help the enemy transport supplies. Although it is unknown where the supplies will be transported, it is a very painful thing for the Wang puppet government or the Japanese!
After all, since there was a constant stream of goods that could be sent to Chongqing or Yan'an, they couldn't turn the puppet government into a real government.
This put Wang Manchun in a very awkward position. She not only lost her family's influence but also all her wealth. To the Japanese or the Wang puppet government, Wang Manchun became a useless pawn.
Now that Wang Manchun is suspected of treason, her situation will be very difficult. This gives Wang Yue the opportunity to win Wang Manchun back and stop her from doing evil.
Sure enough, Wang Manchun's expression changed immediately after receiving the news!
Wang Manchun had initially felt like a queen in No. 76, but now she realized all her confidence had vanished. She immediately had the telecommunications department send a message to inquire about the specific situation, hoping to find some clues in the message.
Yu Manli, of course, did not hide anything and explained everything clearly.
After seeing all the messages in the telegram, Wang Manchun returned to her office in a daze, knowing in her heart that she was probably finished.
Wang Manchun was right; she was destined for a difficult time, and it was happening very quickly.
Because after informing Wang Manchun, Yu Manli also notified Nantian Yangzi.
After all, Nantian Yangzi was the guarantor for Wang Yue's cooperation with the Wang family. Now that something has happened, she should at least give a heads-up.
At the same time, Yu Manli came specifically to make accusations. After all, this place is not far from Guangzhou, and Japan just happened to occupy it. Why would there be a ship attack? The responsibility lies with the Japanese.
