Occupied

It was a sunny afternoon, and the scenery in the French park was pleasant.

Yu Xiaojiang was wearing a golden cheongsam with her hair pulled back, sitting in the corridor of the Rose Garden like a young lady from a rich family, holding a book of Shelley's poems in her hand, and opening a page It was "The Lonely Man," and she read a passage of it slowly:

In the crowd of mortal beings,

Do you dare to isolate yourself from the world and be alone?

Let the people around you make noise,

You are indifferent; snubbed, reckoned,

Like a flower in the barren desert,

Don't want to breathe in the breeze?

The spring sunshine shone on her body, making her feel the passage of time bit by bit, slow and elusive.Until a certain moment, she saw a pair of black leather shoes out of the corner of her eyes. She raised her head, as if she had a sixth sense, and smiled at the person who came, like a virtuous wife waiting for her husband who came back from afar.

Ah Chu was wearing his crisp designer suit, black leather shoes, and in his hand was a bouquet of lovely violets that he had just bought from a flower garden vendor by the park.In fact, what he originally picked up was a delicate red rose, but he always felt that it was a bit strange, so he changed it to a violet with eternal beauty.

Under Yu Xiaojiang's smiling gaze, he stretched out his hand and handed over the bouquet in a very gentlemanly manner, sat down beside Yu Xiaojiang calmly, and said, "Will you forget that happy moment, buried by us under the Pavilion of Love?" Ah Chu After observing Shelley's collection of poems, seeing the poems of the lonely on that page, he has actually seen this woman named Yu Xiaojiang, and probably knows that she is the online person Ah Ci mentioned, and this woman has also been to Chunhe. Hospital, but today's situation is different. Ah Chu met his partner for the first time as an underground party according to Xia Yuechun's instructions.

Yu Xiaojiang stared at A Chu's face for a moment, and there was an expression on his face that made A Chu feel unfathomable, "Have you forgotten the dead one? It has, some ghosts, and will come out to avenge it." Her voice was the same as Her person looks just as graceful.

Ah Chu smiled politely at her, "You have worked hard these days." He said as if he really came back from afar, and sincerely thanked his wife who stayed at home.

"He..." Yu Xiaojiang hesitated for a moment, lowered his head, and played with the handful of violets in his arms: "How...how is he?"

"Not very good. But I survived at last." Ah Chu sighed helplessly, and forced a smile.

Yu Xiaojiang could feel the sadness in Ah Chu's smile, her heart sank, her nose was a little sore, but she quickly adjusted her state: "In other words, you are Ah Ci now?"

"I am Ah Chu, and I am also Ah Ci. One life, two people." Ah Chu said: "Isn't the trick of the Military Command Bureau to let Ah Ci replace me to perform tasks? Because Ah Ci is a nail lurking in the military command, so you So I acquiesced to such behavior. Then if it wasn't for Aji... Even if I came back safely from the Japanese tea room, I would die inexplicably, wouldn't I? That's why I hate these people. They imagine everyone is as dirty as they are, Shameless!" Ah Chu glanced at Yu Xiaojiang beside him, "I can't guarantee that your organization won't become like them one day."

"Yes, I can't guarantee that you will be safe." Yu Xiaojiang said in a low voice: "The incident at the Peace Hotel last month..."

"Yesterday, I received an invitation from the Japanese embassy, ​​asking me to attend the literary exhibition held by their consulate next week, huh, literary exhibition? God knows, all they invited were senior executives and bosses in the financial industry. Do you think What are they for?" Ah Chu snorted, "The word safety is too extravagant at this time. Even the result is the same now. So what we can do now is sincere cooperation, isn't it?"

"Are your injuries healed?" Yu Xiaojiang said.

"never mind."

"The preparations for the radio station have almost been completed. I have received news from Du Luning two days ago that the Soviet delegation will arrive in Chongqing and start negotiations with the Chongqing military command on weapons supply and combat technology. Du Luning asked this side to pay close attention. The move of the Japanese agency is because the Japanese side is very likely to intervene and try to sabotage this negotiation in order to weaken the combat effectiveness of the Chinese military. From this point of view, the whole situation will become very tense. Our superior order is to temporarily observe the situation, Try to grasp the Japanese side's direction of action for this negotiation, due to the special situation in Shanghai, and the relationship between the Japanese side and various concessions, you can collect some of the relationships through your economic network, I will be in Xiaoshi Hutong There is a 24-hour wait, understand?"

"Understood." Ah Chu frowned, "The Japanese agency..."

"What did you think of?" Yu Xiaojiang looked at him with stern eyes, but a very gentle expression was disguised on his face.

"Last month, I saw a person who looked like a high-ranking Japanese military officer at the gate of the Yang family mansion." Ah Chu recalled: "If I read wrongly, his rank should not be lower than the position of the head of the Japanese agency. That There was a very strong hostility towards me, and I felt that he would be a threat."

"A threat in the open is better than a trap hidden in the dark. I will help you get someone to investigate this person, and I will notify you as soon as there is any news." Yu Xiaojiang stood up, holding the bouquet gently, tenderly With a smile: "Let's go, the sky is going to change."

Ah Chu also stood up, took two steps shoulder to shoulder with her, and the two walked out of the park together.

The French Park, where people come and go, is bustling, and no one cares that a revolutionary communication has just been completed here.

[The verses in this article come from Shelley's Poems, "Lonely", "The Past"]

Ash opened his eyes.

There was a faint sunlight outside the house, and there was the laughter of children running back and forth outside the window. Ah Ci leaned on the head of the bed and stretched out his hands to try his best to feel it. He didn't know if he had jumped under such sunshine before, but he suddenly looked at It felt so warm.

He has been dreaming every day since he woke up. Why is this dream so long? It seems that he will never wake up. Whether it is in the dream or outside the dream, he can vaguely hear someone calling him, Ah Ci, Ah Ci ...

that voice...

"Ah Ci!" Suddenly the door of the ward was opened, and his elder brother Ah Chu stepped in carrying a bag of apples and a bouquet of roses.

Ah Ci supported himself with his hands, allowing himself to sit up a little.His movements still caused some stiffness and tingling in the joints of his limbs, but he was used to it, and he didn't move often anyway, so the pain was fine.

When it hurts, it's as if I'm not dreaming. I don't know why it's so comfortable, but it doesn't feel real at all.

Is it because the past is blank and I can't remember anything?Ah Ci asks himself every day, but he doesn't get an answer every day.

"What are you thinking about?" Ah Chu fiddled with the roses, bent down and smiled at Ah Ci: "Did you miss me?"

"Brother, where have you been?" Ah Ci looked up.

"I..." Ah Chu scratched his hair, "Isn't it a business trip?"

His elder brother Ah Chu has not come to see him for about five days. This can be said to be something he has never experienced since he came to this hospital and since he woke up. He asked Dean Xia where his brother went , The answer I got was that I was on a business trip.

He didn't know what the business trip was, so he could only nod his head silently a few times to pretend that he accepted the reason, and then saw that Dean Xia seemed relieved.

He stared intently at Ah Chu for a while, his head was aching, and he leaned wearily on the head of the bed, and said very lightly: "The current situation is so chaotic, brother, you can still go on a business trip." Ah Ci didn't remember who he was, nor Remembering who the people around him are, everything he sees and feels is so strange, but this does not mean that he is a fool who is easy to deceive, he just has amnesia and is not mentally handicapped.

Ah Chu stared at Ah Ci in astonishment, and Ah Ci happened to look at him, his eyes were very sharp and calm, just like before.

A certain part of Ah Chu's heart felt sore, and seeing Ah Ci looking at him like this, he could only desperately restrain his urge to rush forward and hug him, turned his head and pulled a chair and sat down beside Ah Ci's bed: "I'm fine. Ah, it's just these two days..." The eloquent Boss Rongchu suddenly couldn't find a reasonable excuse and hesitated.

Ah Ci stretched out his hand to touch him, and then unconsciously brushed his finger across Ah Chu's forehead. There was a wound there. I'm worried, aren't I?"

Ah Chu's body trembled.

"Actually, you don't have to do this. If you don't come for such a long time, I will be worried instead." Ah Ci expressed himself very directly.

Ah Chu began to speak, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.Looking at him like this, Ah Ci made him more and more dazed. Ah Ci didn't lose his memory, Ah Ci still remembered everything about them, and Ah Ci still had the same feeling as Ah Ci from before, Ah Chu bit his slightly trembling lips, He is not a weak person, but he cannot be strong in front of Ah Ci.

"I... did I say something that made you uncomfortable?" Ah Ci looked at Ah Chu like this, but he was a little at a loss: "I'm sorry, brother, I... I actually..."

"No." Ah Chu held the hand that Ah Ci stretched out, and stayed in the hospital for a long time. Now Ah Ci looks a little fairer and tenderer than him. Although the two of them have ordinary looks, there is a strange thing about one black and one white. There is a difference, "I'm not sad...Ah Ci, I'm not sad..." Ah Chu repeated twice and slowly said: "I'm sorry, I will never do it again, I was too late on the way home that night Hei, I accidentally fell down, and I didn't dare to let you see me because I was afraid you would make fun of me."

"Brother, why do you look like a child." Ah Ci laughed without doubt after hearing this, "I wouldn't laugh at you. Just be more careful next time."

He accepted his reasons, had no doubts about his words, and believed him, just as he had always done.

Subconsciously, she trusted him without reservation.

Yeah?A times.

Ah Chu wanted to cry, but he couldn't.

"Come on, I'll peel an apple for you to eat." Ah Chu suppressed the sorrowful emotions surging like waves, took out an apple from the bag, wiped it with a clean towel, took a fruit knife and began to peel it Skin.

"Yeah." Ash nodded.

The sun shines through the window, it is warm, as if it can heal the ice and pain in people's hearts.

After Ah Ci lost his memory, Ah Chu asked Xia Yuechun to sign a well-defined agreement.As expected of someone who has been in the business circle for a long time, he will not relax at any time, and will not allow people to take advantage of any loopholes.

Yue Chun ridiculed him as a fox in the business world, smart and cunning yet noble, he laughed and fought back and compared Yue Chun to a poisonous snake in the medical world, which is obviously very poisonous but has considerable medical value.

That day, Ah Chu came to the dean's office with a large piece of paper full of words, cleared his throat and began to read, the content is as follows:

[-]. Don't tell Ah Ci anything about his former family, and don't mention any words that include Yang Yuhua, Xu Yuzhen, and Zhabei Bank.

[-]. Do not disclose any information about his previous identity to Ah Ci, any words related to the position and tasks including military command, CCP underground party, international special envoy, etc., including key names such as Ronghua, Du Luning, Li Qinhong, etc. must not be mentioned .

[-]. Do not let Ah Ci see any items that may be frightened, such as guns, bullets, grenades, etc.

Fourth, don't let Ah Ci experience any danger, especially in this hospital that is relatively easy to catch fire. I hope the director will strengthen his precautions.

[-]. Regarding the identity of his elder brother, it is sufficient to state that he is a businessman, and Ah Ci is his elder brother's assistant.His brother's name is Rongchu, so Aci is called Rongci, so don't mention Yang Muci's name, in case someone will harm him.

[-]. As for the reason for being injured and hospitalized, it is sufficient to state that the current situation is turbulent, that the person was attacked by the Japanese and unfortunately died.Do not mention anything about germ bombs or the Black Dragon Society.

[-]. Regarding any unanswerable questions raised by Ah Ci, it is sufficient to state that only his brother knows about this matter.Don't talk too much.

In addition, the above are all decided to protect Ah Ci's safety during his serious injury. If he suffers any slight injury due to violation of regulations, his brother Rongchu has the right to refuse him to participate in any action.

This agreement was regarded by Yuechun Opera as a good one, three obediences and four virtues, three only four nots, and it was also threatened with the work of the underground party organization for the rise and fall of the country. He really deserves to be a shrewd businessman.

The most effective treatment for this type of amnesia is nothing more than stimulating the patient's memory to restore the memory of various once-impressive events.But there are risks, the trigger points are too diverse, and there is only a thin line between recovery and madness.

If it is overstimulated, it is likely to be worse than no treatment.

Presumably, Ah Chu has already considered this agreement quite thoroughly, and he does not intend to immediately treat Ah Ci with any memory treatment.

Before reminding him of everything, he firmly believed that Ah Ci should take good care of his injuries.

He even believed that this amnesia was a gift from God. If it wasn't for the amnesia, with Ah Ci's personality and sense of responsibility, it would be impossible for him to stay in the hospital for several months.

Yue Chun still signed the contract, and he promised to do this for the sake of Ah Chu and Ah Ci.

Of course, Dean Xia knew very well how uncomfortable and painful Ah Chu would be when he wrote this agreement. If he wanted to leave Ah Ci with one more day of pure happiness, he would leave himself with one more day of loneliness.

When experiencing the inseparable love of life and death, it turns into a family relationship that is only connected by blood.This kind of transformation is not acceptable to everyone.Ah Chu's smile is real when he sees Ah Ci every day, but every bit of bitterness in his heart can only be deeply hidden.

In order to shoulder the burden on Ah Ci, Ah Chu, who had never fought and practiced martial arts, actually began to bite the bullet and followed Ah Si to practice some basic postures. God knows that he fell black and blue in the first few days but still did not give up.

Ah Chu admitted frankly that he was not good at practicing martial arts, but he would never lose Ah Ci's face.He is the king of the business world, and he will treat any difficulty as an unfinished business, fight for it, and overcome it.

All of this is to protect Ah Ci.

On this day, just after exchanging a series of information, Ah Chu saw Yuechun take out the agreement from the drawer in the dean's office.

Taking a look at it casually, he couldn't help pursing his lips and smiling.

"Why do you take out the three virtues again?"

"Thank you for being able to write it."

"When a person is pushed into a hurry, he can do anything."

"I believe in this. It's like Rongchu can play a few tricks, although it's a bit lame."

"When did you say something that didn't hurt me?"

As expected of a poisonous snake, the tongue in its mouth is really poisonous enough.

"Ah Chu, you really only told Ah Ci that you are his brother?"

"Then what else can I say?"

"Did I say that I am your brother and your lover?" Ah Chu raised his eyebrows, looking surprised.

"Well... Maybe it will cure the amnesia..." Yue Chun smiled, deliberately fanning the flames, "It's not easy for you to endure until now! With the way you used to value sex and despise friends."

"Cure the amnesia? I don't think the amnesia was cured, so he was frightened into a psychopath!" Ah Chu responded with a smile, but felt the meaning of the words in his heart, a little sentimental.

They are brothers, real brothers. It is really difficult to say that they are in love.

It's not that Ah Ci, who has experienced many life and death disasters with him, would never accept this relationship.

Contradictions, really contradictions, Ah Chu has never felt so contradictory.

Ah Ci's amnesia can stay away from danger and rest in peace, and he can enjoy the relaxation and happiness he has never had for many years, but it means that the two of them are just pure brothers.

Ah Ci's recovery of memory means that he will continue to take risks and live a life that puts his life aside, but it also means that the two of them are not just brothers.

Obviously the former is beneficial to Ah Ci, while the latter will put Ah Ci in danger even if he has a small profit.

So, he admitted it, he was willing to let go, and he was willing to be a good guardian.Guard quietly, pay attention silently.

But this letting go is only for the moment.Ah Ci's life, he must keep it.

One day, he will take it all back.Ah Ci's love, he wants to monopolize it.

When danger is no more, love will return.

The Japanese consulate said it was going to hold a literary exhibition, but the venue was set at Yunhai Art Club.

On this day, Ah Chu went to the appointment as scheduled.

The Yunhai Art Club is hung with textiles, tea sets, screens, furniture and various artworks from the East. When Ah Chu stepped in, he even felt a little strange. As for the secondary oil painting, even the curator of the art gallery has left, and the entire site has been rented by the Japanese side.

The world is impermanent.

Ah Chu walked in with a smile, and greeted everyone he knew friendly.

On the surface, the atmosphere here is quite relaxed. Everyone communicates in twos and threes, but in fact, everyone's heart is tense.

This round, good or bad is uncertain.

"Papapa" a burst of clapping.

Ah Chu raised his head and saw a man walking up to the main podium. His face was cold and sharp, his eyes were sharp, and his aura fit perfectly with a Japanese samurai sword.Ah Chu's eyebrows twitched slightly. This person was the one he had seen outside the garden of the Yang family mansion before. He had entrusted Yu Xiaojiang to investigate this person. He was the new head of the Japanese agency in Shanghai, Misawa Ryo.

A very, very dangerous person.

Sanze Liao stood on the stage, nodded to the attendants beside him, and soon several people brought cushions and a Japanese-style low coffee table, he patted his clothes and sat down, then slowly said: "Everyone Please sit down."

After he finished speaking, another group of attendants came over and placed many cushions around the main stage.

Everyone hesitated and looked at each other.

After a while, some people moved over and sat down hesitantly, and some people stood aside hesitantly.

"Sit down." San Zeliao said again.The tone was forced.

Then everyone saw the black pistol hanging from the waist of the attendant standing aside.

There was silence, and the atmosphere was surprisingly strange.

After a while, those who hesitated to stand aside also had to sit down.

But Ah Chu stood, looking at Sanze Liao on the main stage, his eyes were like watching a funny show.

He was the only one standing in the whole venue, standing out from the crowd like a chicken.

"Mr. Rong." San Zeliao saw him at a glance: "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"It's a pleasure to meet you." Ah Chu replied.

"Mr. Rong, is this disrespecting me?"

Ah Chu smiled elegantly, then turned to look at Ah Si.

Ah Si nodded tacitly, ran to the side and brought a pear blossom wood chair, placed it squarely behind Ah Chu's back, then picked up the cushion on the ground, patted it, and placed it on the chair.Ah Chu straightened his suit, then bent over and sat down, "Mr. Sanze's face, how dare I brush it off." He put his left leg lightly on his right leg, looking very chic, "It's just that I have bad knees, I have never been able to sit low, I think with Mr. Sanze's bearing, he shouldn't mind such trivial matters, right?"

Ah Chu's actions can be said to have shocked the audience. Although the businessmen and bosses sitting on the cushions did not whisper, they all looked at the young man sitting on the chair, unable to tell Admiration or fear.

Of course, Ah Chu's words perfectly blocked Sanze Liao's back move.

Sanze Liao could only stare at Ah Chu in awe, as if he was surprised that Ah Chu knew his name, and also as if he was shocked by Ah Chu's behavior. For a while, needles could be heard in the hall, and after a while In addition to the cold annoyance, there was a little admiration in his eyes: "Mr. Rongchu, you are the first person who dares to do this."

"Where is it?" Ah Chu smiled confidently: "It means that you haven't been in China for a long time, and you haven't seen many people."

Misawa's face became a little gloomy and unpredictable, he ignored Ah Chu, and turned to everyone with a straight face: "I am the director of the Japanese agency in Shanghai, Misawa, and I am honored to host this literary exhibition with you today." , the exhibits are all the best arts and crafts of our Great Japanese Empire. I want to promote mutual benefit and development with various chambers of commerce and industries in Shanghai through this exchange. I don’t think everyone will refuse, right?”

In a word, the businessmen and bosses sitting below are a little ugly. This is clearly to cooperate with the Japanese side. Gang, unethical things to come. "Boss Huang. I heard that your birthday banquet was messed up." Sanze Liao nodded calmly: "I think... if we had a better development, such a thing would definitely not happen, you Do you mean it?" Boss Huang, who was named, was already pale, and a bomb was thrown into the birthday banquet at the Peace Hotel for his [-]th birthday, which not only caused him to lose money but also his status and reputation!Sanze Liao's words were clearly a blatant coercion, and he clearly knew about the disaster but he used it as a threat.

When Boss Huang hadn't answered, suddenly there was a clear and clear laughter in the lobby.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on that point, it was Ah Chu.

He crossed his legs, sitting on the pear blossom wood grand master's chair, with a luxurious demeanor.

Sanze Liao looked suspiciously, "What are you laughing at?"

"Your words are really funny." Ah Chu smiled calmly.

"Where is it funny?" Sanze Liao's face was tense, Ah Chu's words were challenging his endurance limit.

The two have their own latitude and longitude, and their eyes look at each other, just like a battle.

"Textiles, tea sets, screens, furniture...all of the things you brought are Chinese! You are so funny that you want mutual benefit in front of the Chinese? Are you relying on these things?" Ah Chu said sarcastically: " According to legend, Lei Zu raised silkworms and smelted silk. The art of tea sprouted in the Tang Dynasty, developed in the Song Dynasty, reformed in the Ming Dynasty, and flourished in the Qing Dynasty. The tea set naturally matched it. Screens began to appear in China in the Zhou Dynasty 3000 years ago. On the land of the land, and the kimono you mentioned... oh... that is, the well-known kimono should be called Wufu. "Song Chuang Mengyu" contains: "As for folk customs, most of the south of the Yangtze River is luxurious in the north of the Yangtze River, while The luxury in the south of the Yangtze River is especially the three Wu.Since ancient times, the customs of Wu have been extravagant, entertaining and strange, and all human feelings have been taken care of.Wu is subdued and gorgeous, thinking it must be Fuwen; I don't think I need to keep dropping schoolbags, right?The so-called Wufu, the so-called your most beautiful clothing, is because the business activities between Soochow and Japan brought textiles and clothes sewing methods to Japan!I don’t think I need to continue to tell you that even Japan, which you consider the most noble name, was given to you by Empress Wu Zetian of the Tang Dynasty! Ah Chu's voice gradually became arrogant: "I think everyone sitting here knows these things, but everyone is unwilling to hit your superficial self-confidence here." "

"You..." Sanze Liao's face was livid, and following Ah Chu's every word, his complexion became more and more ugly, and his calmness could no longer restrain his emotions.

"China is profound and profound, and has a long history. How can it be expressed by the few things displayed here? I am ignorant, but I also know that the small is remarkable, and the small is big. It is better to be humble. Mr. Sanze, what do you think? Not really?" Ah Chu raised his eyebrows and smiled, he kindly killed Sanze Liao angrily, and then asked kindly if he was right or not... San Zeliao wished he could shoot this man right now, But it just couldn't happen.

"Mr. Rong is right!" Someone in the corner called out first.

Immediately, enthusiastic and intense applause resounded through the entire Yunhai Art Club building.

The businessmen and bosses sitting here started talking a lot, and the whole scene became lively and uncontrollable. Ah Chu’s words had effectively destroyed Sanze Liao’s self-confidence, and also effectively made every Chinese present vaguely feel that Pride and self-esteem, just this point, the purpose of wanting to control this group of businessmen has been defeated.

Sanzeliao finally knew what kind of person Xiaoshan Yingzi, the beautiful flower of the empire, died in the hands of this person, this person!He showed dangerous and fierce eyes, like a hissing poisonous snake, lingering and waiting for an opportunity.

However, Ah Chu still sat on the chair calmly and smiled, as if he could see everything.

If Ah Ci is here == I guess Ah Ci would say, let me tell you, your Japan originated from our China, and the things you brought here are all passed down from China, so don’t be hypocritical here!above.
