Shanghai morning

Wang Yao's gaze moved up from a pair of black boots, over the black coat, and finally fixed on the handsome face, meeting the cold gray eyes.Being looked down by this tall young man with gray eyes, Wang Yao trembled uncontrollably. For the first time, he realized that he was so close to death.

Yun Jian immediately recognized Wang Yao, and he exclaimed in surprise: "Mr. Wang?" Then he turned to the handsome young man with gray eyes: "Mikhail, what's going on?"

The young man named Mikhail spoke. He also had an Eastern accent, and he bit his tongue hard: "He's eavesdropping outside, probably a spy!"

"Spy? You're really brave!" This time it was Ziyu who spoke, "Let me handle it!"

Wang Yao turned his head as if electrocuted, and saw Tzuyu's appearance: he is a short young man with a strong figure and a handsome face, wearing an old black Tang suit.Wang Yao suddenly remembered that this was the man who kicked and smashed the sign saying "Entry Rules" at the gate of the Bund Park that day.

Before Ziyu could make a move, Wang Yao's body was lifted by a strong arm, his feet couldn't touch the ground, and he was hung up so that he couldn't breathe.Then two big hands strangled his neck vigorously, and he saw an angry face in the pain of suffocation.

"Damn it! How much money did the Japanese devils give you?" From the voice of this person, it should be Meng An who spoke just now.Meng An was a tall young man with a resolute face.

"Hey, hello! I said I'll come!" Ziyu expressed dissatisfaction.

"Guan Meng'an! Liang Ziyu! Stop it!" Yun Jian, who was always gentle and elegant, suddenly shouted.

Wang Yao's body was thrown to the ground again, and a well-maintained white right hand stretched out in front of him: "Mr. Wang, get up and talk." Wang Yao raised his head and saw Yunjian's usual smile.

Wang Yao didn't pull Yunjian's hand, but got up by himself.

"Mr. Wang, what are you doing here?" Yun Jian asked.

Wang Yao didn't know how to answer, did he follow him out of curiosity?In any case, the fact that he deliberately eavesdropped on these people's secrets is a solid fact.Thinking of this, he glanced at Mikhail with a guilty conscience. Even standing up and watching, this young man with a strange name was still a lot taller than him, almost as tall as Ivan.

"I..." Wang Yao's eyes dodged, "I was just passing by... I saw you walking this way, so..."

"Are you following Yunjian?" Guan Mengan stared like an angry Siberian tiger, "Yunjian, who the hell is this?"

Yunjian didn't answer, and continued to ask Wang Yao: "Mr. Wang, why are you following me?"

At this moment, Wang Yao found that there were not only these four people in the room, but also several men who were equally fierce, and it seemed that any of them could easily strangle him, so he could only truthfully say: "The last time I saw you talking to a policeman Hurry up and talk in the teahouse, I don't feel at ease, so..."

"That arrester named Wang Nianjing? What are you afraid of?" Yunjian was puzzled.

"The last time the dock workers made trouble, my friend was almost arrested. The one who arrested him was Wang Nianjing. I told him a lot of good things before I got my friend back," Wang Yao said, " Later I heard that the Revolutionary Party was involved in that incident, and I was worried that he would recognize me.”

"I understand. You are worried that I will confess you." Yun Jian smiled, "What are you afraid of? The Revolutionary Party is us, not you."

"I don't think it's that simple," Liang Ziyu stared suspiciously at Wang Yao, "I'm telling you, I'm not such an easy-going person, if you dare to do us any harm, don't blame me for giving it away with a pair of fine fists! "

Wang Yao suddenly sneered: "Are you only able to kill the Chinese? Foreigners bully the Chinese, and the Chinese themselves bully their own people! What are you keeping your fists for? You don't want to save your brothers in prison?"

"Don't do this with me! I've seen spies a lot, and they all speak better than they sing! I'll tell you later!" Liang Ziyu was also angry, "If you want to lecture me, give me a punch first!" Said a punch came over.

In front of the brave boxer, Wang Yao couldn't dodge at all, but he didn't feel the impact of the iron fist.

"Meng An? What are you doing?" It was Liang Ziyu who screamed.

Guan Mengan stopped his fist abruptly.

"I don't think he's a bad guy. He's right. We're leaving Aji in the prison. What are you doing here? Whether you want to go or not, I'm going to save him!" Guan Mengan said, shaking his hands and walking out.

"Come back! Do you want to die?" Yunjian shouted sharply.

"Don't worry about me! I want to save my brother!" Guan Mengan said to Yun Jian.

Mikhail grabbed Guan Mengan's arm, and Guan Mengan stared at him fiercely: "What's the matter? You want to stop me too?"

Mikhail shook his head: "I won't stop you, I'll go with you, Aji is also my brother."

"Stop! I never said I wouldn't save Aji!" Yun Jian's voice was no longer the same as before, and he was a little more tired. "If you don't want to save him, why should I call you today?"

Although Mikhail and Guan Mengan didn't go out after listening to Yun Jian's words, their eyes were obviously distrustful.Now that the tension was gone, Wang Yao could calmly analyze the current situation.Wang Yao was never a hero, just like any ordinary person born in troubled times, he would be afraid of death and get into trouble that he shouldn't have.But after just experiencing two life-threatening situations, he calmed down and began to think about how to get out.Thanks to this cursed era, Wang Yao's greatest skill is to survive in adversity.

Yunjian has already turned his attention to Wang Yao again: "Mr. Wang, you can go back and pretend that what happened tonight didn't happen."

"You just let him go like this? If he really is a spy, we'll be finished!" Liang Ziyu asked anxiously.

Yunjian shook his head, but did not answer.He was also not sure whether Wang Yao could pose a threat to them. Although Wang Yao seemed to be a responsible person from his previous understanding, as Liang Ziyu said, cunning spies would never be noticed.Perhaps it was just a trace of weakness at work, but Yunjian remembered that every time he saw Wang Yao at Luther's house, he could see bitterness and unwillingness in the other's eyes, just like all people who suffer pain.

"Let's go, let them make things difficult for you." Yun Jian whispered in Wang Yao's ear.

Wang Yao glanced at Yun Jian gratefully: "Thank you, Yun Jian." After saying that, he ran out in a hurry, almost didn't fall when he climbed over the wall, and then ran all the way back home.

Frightened and running desperately, Wang Yao fell on the bed and couldn't get up when he got home.Wanwan was terrified, not knowing why his brother was so frightened that he lost his mind.But Wang Yao just panted and couldn't say anything.

Wang Yao didn't sleep well all night, and was woken up several times by nightmares, and every time he woke up, he always looked at the door in horror.Early the next morning, Wang Yao developed an inexplicable high fever, Wanwan was worried about him, and planned to skip going to school and stay at home to take care of his brother.But Wang Yao firmly disagreed and forced Wanwan to go to school.

Ivan in the attic couldn't hide any movement in Wang Yao's house. When the smiling big man appeared at the door, Wang Yao was taken aback again.Looking at Wang Yao, who is in a state of desperation, Ivan smiled and asked, "Dear neighbor, you seem to be seriously ill!"

"It's none of your business!" Wang Yao picked up Mrs. Tang in the quilt and wanted to hit Iwan, but felt that it was better to warm his feet, so he put it back resentfully.

"Wanwan is gone? Looks like no one is taking care of you." Ivan didn't care whether the owner agreed or not, and began to rummage through the box. "Isn't there any regular medicine?"

"I'm not sick!" Wang Yao watched angrily as Ivan turned his pitiful belongings into a mess.

"Your appearance is not convincing." Ivan said as he turned out a cross, which was a Christmas gift from Al to Wang Yao. He dangled this thing in front of Wang Yao: "Huh? When did you Are you religious?"

"Bring it here!" Wang Yao raised his hand to snatch it, but due to his weakness, his movements were slow, and Ivan lifted the cross even higher.

"Is this something important?" Ivan held the cross up to his nose and sniffed it. "Why does it smell like a Yankee?"

Casually throwing the cross on the table, Ivan continued to rummage through things, and suddenly cheered and pulled out a beautiful doll: "Wow! Is this a gift you want to give to Wanwan?"

"No! Throw it away!" Wang Yao shouted in disgust, it was sent by Honda.

Ivan smiled meaningfully, and stretched out his hand to stuff the doll into Wang Yao's arms: "How can you throw away such a beautiful thing? Let her stay with you!"

Finally, Iwan finally found some banlangen, clumsily helped Wang Yao prepare it, and watched him swallow it.Wang Yao wiped his mouth and said, "Ivan, do me a favor and go to Jardine Matheson to ask for leave for me."

"Why should I go?" Ivan asked, arms crossed.

"Help people to the end." Wang Yao rarely quarreled with him.

Seeing that Wang Yao didn't fight back, Ivan also felt bored, so he hastily agreed, and soon went out with the note written by Wang Yao, and rushed to Jardine Matheson.

After Ivan left, Wang Yao lay on the bed blankly, still holding the doll that disgusted him.Although his body was heavy, his heart gradually became clear, as if the impurities sank with his body, something clear emerged.
