Chapter 5, Departure

The aircraft departing from Pudong International Airport took away Cheng Feng and others, yet it gave rise to the endless tears streaming down Su Wan's beautiful face as she bid farewell. Oh, beautiful maiden, your beloved has already embarked on a journey; how deep must your pain and reluctance be!

As everyone settled into the villa, a Filipino maid brought in several cups of fragrant tea. Fang Hong smiled and said, "Give it a try, it's truly exquisite Oolong! It's hard to find in the market!" Cheng Feng and Ling Ge savored the tea, unable to contain their praise, with a lingering fragrance on their palates. However, Yang Nan and Zhao Tie, being rough men, gulped it down like cattle, leaving Cheng Feng and the others dumbfounded, exclaiming in regret.

Life and death come together and part in the blink of an eye

Fang Hongdao: "These days, I have specifically modified the yacht, installing 500 kilograms of C4 explosives and equipping it with a batch of heavy weaponry! If the Japanese do not provoke us, that is fine; but if they dare to cause trouble, we will not reason with them and will fight to the death! I refuse to believe that we, as dignified Chinese, would be afraid of those mere four islands and their pirates!" (Where do the weapons come from? It's dizzying; this Fang Hong, a super-rich man from Hong Kong, naturally has his own channels for weapons!) I refuse to believe that we, as dignified Chinese, would be afraid of those mere four islands and their pirates!" (Where do the weapons come from? It's dizzying; this Fang Hong, a super-rich man from Hong Kong, naturally has his own channels for weapons!)

The wind howls and the waters of the Yi River are cold

The yacht gradually departed from the dock, sailing over the waves towards the uncertain risks of the distant horizon. As they watched the land recede into the distance, a group of several people fell into a contemplative silence. At that moment, Cheng Feng suddenly thought of Jing Ke: I wonder if he felt a similar sense of tragic emotion when he left Yan for Qin.

Cheng Feng, hearing this, joyfully said: "Alright, then shall we set off tomorrow? Brother Fang, do you have anything else to instruct? After all, this journey is of great significance, and our lives are uncertain!" Fang Hong replied calmly: "There is nothing more. Since I have decided to participate in this operation, I have long been prepared for anything! The wealth I leave behind is sufficient for my parents and my wife and children for ten generations. What else is there to worry about!"

Suddenly, Cheng Feng began to chant softly

Cheng Feng expressed some surprise, saying: "When I first heard that you had a private yacht, I knew you were wealthy, but I didn't expect you to be this rich! My friend, what business are you in?" Fang Hong smiled and replied: "Stocks!" "Oh! But looking at you, you must be a very successful stock trader, yet I haven't heard of your name before?"

At noon, the plane landed in Hong Kong. Cheng Feng and the others exited the arrival hall and immediately spotted Fang Hong, who was there to pick them up. Fang Hong was around thirty years old, possessing a unique elegance typical of southern people, yet his prominent sword-like eyebrows and robust physique also gave him an air of heroism

Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng and others felt somewhat tempted. Zhao Tie exclaimed, "Very well, what Brother Fang said is indeed true. Let tonight be a night of reckoning. Brothers, what harm is there in indulging for one night?" Cheng Feng, Ling Ge, and Yang Nan were also stirred by the moment, nodding in unison! Indeed, once the promising youth from the mainland enters Hong Kong, they become lost and never return!

Unfulfilled ambitions lead one to sacrifice oneself first

June 1st, originally a holiday for children, has become the departure day for Cheng Feng and his three companions! Although everyone kept the true purpose of their mission hidden from their families, they solemnly left behind their wills before setting off! Cheng Feng entrusted all these wills to Su Wan at hetushu.com and also entrusted his company to her, believing that only in this way could he leave without any burdens

Indeed, during the evening banquet, a group of beautiful women arrived, each possessing exceptional looks and outstanding figures! Fang Hong quietly remarked: "These are all famous models from Hong Kong, with excellent physiques and skills; let us enjoy ourselves to the fullest tonight"

Cheng Feng and others, upon hearing this, could not help but feel their blood boil, shouting loudly: "Good, as long as the devils dare to come, we will fight them to the end!" Zhao Tie expressed a sense of longing, saying: "When I joined the 38th Army back in the day, I dreamed of the day I could have a showdown with the little devils. Unfortunately, I never got that chance until I retired two years ago! If I have this opportunity this time, I would die without regrets!" Upon hearing this, everyone could not help but feel a touch of tragic heroism and fervor.

A few people exchanged a few casual remarks before getting down to the main topic. Cheng Feng asked, "Brother Fang, is your ship ready? Can it be deployed at any time? How are the itinerary and positioning capabilities?"

Ignoring the strange smile on the face of the local flood, he said: "Moreover, even if the little Japanese dare to provoke us, this time we must make them bleed profusely!" "Oh?" Upon hearing this, Cheng Feng and the others couldn't help but perk up their ears

Fang Hong, however, expressed some disbelief, saying: "Why must we be so coy? A true man in this world should either roam freely on the battlefield or indulge in fine wine and beautiful women. If we were to leave tomorrow and not return, wouldn’t it be a pity not to enjoy ourselves beforehand?"

Hu Hong smiled and said, "Since you are newcomers to Hong Kong, I should extend my hospitality. Moreover, tomorrow we may face uncertain fates, so I plan to treat you all to some fun. What do you think?" Cheng Feng, Zhao Tie, and several others, all of whom were outstanding young men deeply influenced by revolutionary ideals, felt their faces flush upon hearing Hu Hong's words, clearly feeling a bit shy about it.

The five of them exchanged a few words and then headed to Fang Hong's residence located beside Nathan Road. Upon arriving at Fang Hong's home, Cheng Feng couldn't help but feel a bit surprised: before them stood a massive villa occupying nearly ten acres, majestically towering in front of everyone. The courtyard was filled with precious flowers and trees, and in the land where every inch is worth its weight in gold like Hong Kong, how much would this cost

The valiant man departs and does not return

The crowd expressed their sentiments, and together they echoed! Thus, the yacht 'Xuanyuan' gradually sailed away amidst the passionate ancient songs, disappearing into the vast ocean! Tomorrow, an event of iron and blood that will shock the world will occur at Diaoyu Island!

Fang Hong smiled and said: "True masters do not seek fame; once one becomes famous, it signifies an increase in risk and a decrease in profit. Therefore, I have never been fond of such empty accolades!" Cheng Feng, Yang Nan, and others could not help but feel a deep respect: "Indeed, a true master!"

Fang Hong calmly replied while savoring his fragrant tea: "Rest assured, my yacht has long been prepared, equipped with a global positioning system and the most advanced operating system! Moreover, the vessel is quite large, and the reserves of drinking water and food are ample, sufficient for our return to Diaoyu Island twice!"

The next day, the five spirited warriors completed their preparations and set off together for the dock, where Fang Hong's private yacht, the "Xuanyuan," was already ready.

Thus, a group of men, driven by their desires, hastily had a light dinner before each took their beloved to a hotel room! That night, how these gentlemen displayed their prowess goes without saying! (Let your imagination run wild!)
