"Overseas Chinese? What's his name?" Gu Longfei heard it, a little puzzled in his heart, how is it an overseas Chinese...

  "Yes, overseas Chinese, his name is Feng Xiaotian, he's back from Japan!"

  Gu Long nodded slightly, if Feng Xiaotian was back from Japan, then his credibility for the 'Missouri' plan would be higher, so he asked: "Will Feng Xiaotian's plan sell?"

  "Are you kidding me? You think it's that simple! If he was willing to sell, I'd pay any price and the matter would be settled easily. I...I wouldn't even need your help!" He realized his words were too harsh and quickly corrected himself: "That's not what I meant, this thing is just so complicated, it's giving me a headache, making me dizzy!"

  Jade Dragon smiled calmly: "Nothing! That Feng Xiaotian is really extraordinary, such a secret plan, he can actually get his hands on it, and even bring it back to the country across the ocean, it's truly remarkable!" But in his heart, he was thinking about what Xiao Cheng said about exchanging gold bars for the 'Missouri' plan, what exactly happened? According to Murong Ding's words, Feng Xiaotian might not be the person Xiao Cheng went to see. So, would Xiao Cheng be deceived or is he actually here to deceive him of his gold? But he is his own cousin, how could he possibly cheat him out of his money and goods? What will happen when the truth comes out, how can they still face each other?

  Murong Ding's face suddenly revealed a rarely seen expression of admiration and reverence, he said with some emotion: "This Feng Xiaotian is really not simple, how did he get the 'Missouri' plan, it's unknown! However, I have heard about his transportation plan, just from this matter, I admire his wisdom and courage to the extreme!"

  "Oh? How did you know?"

  Murong Ding smiled and did not answer Gu Longfei's question, continuing to say: "I heard that Feng Xiaotian successfully implemented the 'Missouri' plan and then tried to bring it back to his hometown. You know, the Japanese are very strict in checking people leaving the country, especially for returned overseas Chinese like Feng Xiaotian, because they may take away some extremely valuable things! When he was worried and at a loss, one of his sworn brothers gave him an idea, but as soon as he heard his brother's words, he immediately opposed it and refused to agree!"

  "He's not responding, is it because his brother's idea is too impractical and can't be implemented?"

  Murong Ding looked at Gu Longfei and said: "It's unreliable, but it's absolutely a good idea!"

  "Tell me about it!" Gu Longfei's curiosity was piqued.

  Murong Ding's mouth twitched, probably because the wound was hurting again. He raised his hand to rub his nose and said: "Feng Xiaotian's brother said that this plan is so important that it can't be taken back easily. If it's seized by the Japanese army at the border, losing one's life is a small matter. Everything will be in vain, and it will be impossible to retrieve it again! His suggestion was to hide the top-secret plan in a corpse, and he would play the role of that corpse!"

  "He's going to pretend to be a corpse? The Japanese are so gullible, they can't even tell if someone is dead or alive. Are those ruthless and sinister Japanese soldiers all idiots?" Gu Longfei originally thought it was some kind of ingenious plan, but as soon as he said it out loud, the childishness of the idea became apparent.

  "Hmph, you didn't even let me finish speaking before jumping to conclusions!" Murong Ding gave him a sidelong glance and continued, "A living person pretending to be a corpse, how could the Japanese not see through it? Feng Xiaotian's younger brother meant that he would directly become a corpse and hide the 'Missouri' plan inside his body. A real corpse, no matter how cunning a person is, will overlook some issues. Moreover, the Japanese are familiar with Chinese culture and traditions, they know that after a Chinese person dies, they will be buried in their hometown, so doing it this way wouldn't seem out of place!"

  "It seems like a good plan, but...the sacrifice is just too great!"

  Murong Ding said: "Feng Xiaotian also said that no matter what he said, he did not agree with this approach. He thought that there should be more brainstorming and ways to think of a solution! Who knew that his brother, who was very patriotic and had a strong sense of justice, had already made up his mind? After simply explaining a few words, he fell to the ground and died. It turned out that he had poisoned himself first and then spoken afterwards. After telling Feng Xiaotian about his plan, the poison took effect and he died shortly after!

  The shock in Gu Longfei's heart at this time is simply indescribable. He never thought that at a time when the country was lost and the mountains and rivers were losing their color, there would be such an excellent son who would give up his precious life for the honor of the motherland. This made him silent for a long time, unable to say a word.

  Murong Ding fell silent for a moment, then shook his head and sighed. "When Feng Xiaotian saw that things had come to this, he couldn't save the life of his sworn brother, so he could only follow his last wish. He personally dissected his body, wrapped the 'Missouri' plan in oil paper, and sewed it into his body, stitch by stitch. According to sources, Feng Xiaotian was sobbing as he sewed, muttering to himself under his breath. When he finished sewing up the wound on his brother's corpse, he wailed loudly, and even after being consoled for a long time, he couldn't stop crying."

  Gu Longfei's heart sank as he listened, his mind imagining Feng Xiaotian's determination to protect the country and nation from foreign invasion and humiliation, no matter the cost, in order to obtain the "Missouri" plan. Now, in order to bring that plan back to the country, which would determine the fate of all living things, he had to use a knife and needle on the body of his subordinate, who was as close as a brother. The unbearable pain and helplessness, how could an ordinary person face and endure it? He couldn't help but feel deep respect for this overseas Chinese compatriot, whom he had never met, and his subordinates!

  Although Murong Ding is ruthless and unscrupulous, he also has a patriotic heart. He was deeply moved by Feng Xiaotian's heroic deeds, and his eyes were even moist with tears. Gu Longfei saw his true feelings revealed without any pretence, and thought that he wasn't completely devoid of conscience after all. His hatred for him weakened slightly.

  Murong Ding continued: "Feng Xiaotian waited until everything was ready, then carried the coffin of his heroic brother who had sacrificed himself, boarded a merchant ship, and sailed back to China via the sea route. The Japanese knew about Chinese customs, so they were not very strict in checking the funeral procession. Moreover, Feng Xiaotian had spent a lot of money at various checkpoints, and he managed to pass through the Japanese military's inspection without any issues, returning smoothly to his home country!"

  "Indeed, having paid such a great price, heaven has taken pity on them and protected them all the way. Alas, the gods above are not entirely blind, at the critical moment, they saw that our Chinese people, in the midst of deep disaster, stretched out a helping hand! If not, when the Japanese discovered what happened, not only would Feng Xiaotian and others have sacrificed in vain, but we too would be forever trapped in hardship."

  Gu Longfei's words struck a chord in Murong Ding's heart. He looked at Gu Longfei with deep feeling, raised his wine cup and took a sip before saying: "Xiao Fei, your words make sense. Heaven is indeed helping them, no, it should be said that heaven is helping us! Feng Xiaotian and the others may have passed through the Japanese checkpoint, but what lies ahead of them is not a smooth road, but rather a treacherous sea!"

  The ancient dragon furrowed his brow and asked, "What's wrong, has the sea given them trouble again?"

  "Ah, it's indeed a blessing in disguise!" Murong Ding said: "It's not just that they had a hard time, they almost lost their lives at sea! When they were about to leave, they inquired about the weather and waves, necessary information for navigation, and learned that a typhoon was approaching. Many people advised Feng Xiaotian to wait until the storm passed before returning home. At that time, Feng Xiaotian became enraged, saying that the situation was urgent and this opportunity, bought with their lives, could not be delayed. If they stayed one more day, there would be one more day of risk. Thus, he ignored everyone's pleas and set sail despite the opposition!"

  Jiulong Fei nodded and said, "Feng Xiaotian's courage is admirable, but he's being too rash by insisting on going out to sea! If they really encounter a huge storm, they'll capsize in the ocean along with their ship. Wouldn't that mean the 'Missouri Plan' will also sink into the sea?"

  Murong Ding agreed with Gu Longfei's words and said, "Yes, he did not consider it carefully and was a bit reckless. Fortunately, good people have good luck! After they set sail, on that night, the calm sea surface gradually became turbulent, and strong winds blew against the sails, making them flutter loudly. The captain felt something was wrong and came to find Feng Xiaotian in a panic, asking him what to do. Feng Xiaotian laughed loudly and said, "You're also an old hand at sailing, how can you not understand that success is up to heaven? As long as we've decided on something, we'll charge forward, no matter the outcome!" Perhaps his boldness infected the captain, who calmed down. However, the unpredictable sea did not follow their orders, and in the second half of the night, it finally burst into fury, whipping up towering waves! Their merchant ship was instantly like a weak leaf, on the verge of capsizing at any moment!

  Gu Longfei Ming knew they had narrowly escaped, otherwise where did the 'Missouri' plan come from, waiting for him to steal, but still couldn't help asking: "That... how did Feng Xiaotian's ship get through?"

  Murong Ding shook his head and said, "The ferocity of this storm at sea has exceeded their expectations. Waves tens to hundreds of meters high are rushing towards their merchant ship one after another, the hull tilting left and right, in the midst of the raging waves, it was tossed into the sky for a moment, and then fell back into the deep ocean. They were hovering between heaven and hell. Watching as many sailors on other ships were swept away by the waves, the main mast creaked with every snap, threatening to break at any time. Feng Xiaotian finally couldn't hold it in anymore, he knelt down on the deck, facing the vast sea and the dark night sky, praying loudly that he wasn't cherishing his own life, but looking at the suffering of the common people still trapped in the midst of water and fire, hoping that heaven would open its eyes, calm the storm, let him bring back the plan, make the country strong as soon as possible, drive out the invaders, and let the people escape their suffering! It's strange to say, but after his prayer, the wind and waves gradually subsided, the sea surface returned to its usual calmness, and later even rose a bright moon, as if to illuminate their way back home.
