[Lou Cheng's first time] Nirvana
Work related (10)
Two people picked and talked.
"The French church that adopted me was destroyed by a fire one night because of the infighting between the Qing Gang and the Hongmen. Big..." Mingcheng saw his hand was suddenly tightly grasped by Minglou, and he immediately changed his mind. mouth. "Master Du was the leader of the Green Gang at the time. He rescued me and gave me to my sister-in-law to take care of me."
"Then why did you have injuries all over your body at that time? That's how he took care of you in those two years?" Ming Lou will never forget that when he met Ah Cheng again at the pier, he saw the wound bleeding and was surrounded by a group of people fight scene.
"Big...Master Du was not the boss of the Green Gang at that time, he just helped Boss Huang manage the casino. The rules in the Green Gang are not allowed to hide private money, and life will be even more difficult after I have one more family. Master Du is loyal and receives a salary. He also has to subsidize the injured brothers, his sister-in-law is sick all year round, and Xiaofan is still young, so he often eats the last meal without the next one. Even so, he never leaves the three of us hungry..."
At that time, Du Yuesheng was very thin and never had a meal at home.When I go out in the morning, I always eat half a wotou from the previous night...
Mingcheng admires him very much, and what he learned from him is the responsibility of a man.
provide for the family.
It is the most simple portrayal of Du Yuesheng's life at that time.
"Later, Master Du went to the Huang Mansion for a meeting, and a group of people from Hongmen who had a feud with Master Du came to the door that day. My sister-in-law was too sick to get out of bed, and Xiaofan was not yet six years old. I couldn't let them suffer any harm. Hurt. So, I beat them all to the ground..."
Afraid that he would be bullied, Du Yue specially asked two confidantes around him to teach him self-defense martial arts.Although it was the first real fight, but because of his belief that death was his home, every blow he made was a deadly blow, and two people were beaten to death by him...
He didn't dare to let Ming Jing and Ming Lou know about this.
He was afraid that they would know how bloody and dirty he was...
"There are rules in the Tao. Master Du was afraid that I would be retaliated by Hongmen, so he asked me to worship Boss Huang as an old man. This made Hongmen no longer want to touch me." Mingcheng lowered his head and narrated his story little by little. What happened in more than two years, "Because of my seniority, but my young age, Boss Huang was worried that the brothers in the gang would not accept it, so he threw me to the pier for training. The injuries on my body were all left during the fight..."
"Actually, when I saw you, big brother, I didn't expect you to recognize me. I originally planned to be a bastard all my life..." Mingcheng cried when he saw Ming Jing, and he knelt in front of Ming Jing. "Eldest sister, I am very grateful to you and elder brother for taking me in. The Ming family has treated me with great kindness, and Ah Cheng never dares to forget..."
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't sent you away back then, nothing like this would have happened. Ah Cheng, my sister is sorry for you, it's all my sister's fault..." Ming Jing knelt on the ground, hugged Ming Cheng and cried .
Mingcheng's tears flowed down, he saw Minglou opened the door of the small ancestral hall, and the figure from his back gradually disappeared in front of his eyes...
The most unacceptable thing is Minglou...
The Ah Cheng in Minglou's heart is upright and kind, his heart is full of light, and there is a lofty belief hidden in his chest... But now Minglou has fallen into a black quagmire from head to toe, and it is difficult to wash away.
"Eldest sister..." Mingcheng gently stroked Ming Jing's back, and whispered softly in her ear. "You are not wrong, we are not wrong, it is the world that is wrong."
If there were no parents who gave birth to him but made him an orphan, he would not have met Aunt Gui who tortured and killed him.If it wasn't for him not having a adoptive mother like Aunt Gui, he wouldn't have been sent to that church because of the Ming family.If the church hadn't been too filthy, he wouldn't have met Du Yuesheng...
It's wrong, this world is too chaotic.
"Ah Cheng, don't leave us, you are a child of my Ming family!" Ming Jing hugged him tightly, "We can't live without a single one in our family, can you promise my sister not to leave?"
"I'm not going, sister. I'm not going..."
When Minglou came down from upstairs, he already felt top-heavy.He helped the handrail of the stairs and stood there for a long, long time...
Ah Cheng may have said a lot of things back then, but according to Ah Cheng's character, in order not to embarrass him and his eldest sister, he must have concealed some facts.
Like, how was he doing in church...
For example, how did he learn to fight?And how much hard work I have had to learn this...
These Ah Cheng are omitted, and what are often omitted are the most painful experiences.And Du Yuesheng is the only one who knows Ah Cheng's experiences!
Minglou saw that the sky had cleared up. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
He took the car keys and went out.
Driving on the street, he just wanted to go to Du's mansion and ask Du Yuesheng for clarification.
As soon as his car stopped, someone greeted him.
"Mr. Ming, Master Du is here to invite you."
Ming Lou was stunned for a moment, Du Yuesheng guessed that he was coming back, and specially asked people to wait here for him, so how much did he care about Ah Cheng!
Du Yuesheng was sitting on the Luohan couch, and when he saw Minglou coming in, he made a gesture of invitation.
Minglou sat down on the other side with a blank face...
"Today's conversation, I thought it should have happened more than ten years ago." Du Yuesheng didn't look at Minglou's stunned expression, "I didn't stop you when you took Ah Cheng away. At that time, I couldn't In this way, give him a stable life. Second, he will receive a better education if he follows you. Even if he is a servant of your Ming family, he is better than a gangster. Moreover, I can see that you care about him. really cared..."
When Minglou led Mingcheng away from the pier, he was in a car not far away.
He found out about Mingcheng's past affairs, and deliberately let Mingcheng appear in front of Minglou to see if Minglou would still know Mingcheng, or if he would kindly take Mingcheng in again.
Because at that time he participated in some activities that might kill him, he didn't want Mingcheng to die with him.He wants to settle Mingcheng down before he goes on an adventure.
The Ming family is the best choice.
To his surprise, Minglou recognized Mingcheng at a glance, he couldn't mistake the look in his lost and found eyes...so he was very relieved.
"..." It turns out that all of this was arranged by the boss of the Youth Gang, arranging a way out for his younger brother before he died.Minglou thought, maybe he should really thank this man...
"When I saw Ah Cheng, he was trying to run out of the fire. The fire was very big, but he never gave up..." Du Yuesheng still feels bitter when he thinks of the clear and persistent eyes in the fire endlessly. "At that time, I thought, this child must be able to accomplish a lot. Mr. Ming has raised him very well, I must admit this. Thank you."
It is impossible for Du Yuesheng to say thank you.
This thank you is by no means empty words, and a promise is given when it is said.Even if the Green Gang owes a big favor, they will pay it back even if they go through fire and water in the future.
"Mingcheng is my younger brother, so there's no need for Master Du to thank you." Minglou refused without hesitation.
Ah Cheng is his family, it is his duty to teach him and protect him.
Du Yuesheng smiled, "Mr. Ming really cares about Ah Cheng, so I can rest assured."
Minglou suddenly looked up...
Ten years ago, this man quietly returned Ah Cheng to him in order to protect Ah Cheng and find a better way out for Ah Cheng.
More than ten years later, what is the purpose of this man breaking the secret and knowing the conversation with him?
"Master Du..."
"The nation was killed, and the mother country was humiliated. Although Du was reckless, he also had the ambition to serve the country. Shanghai fell, and Japan wooed and threatened, but Du refused. However, blindly rejecting it is not a good strategy. Therefore, Du Mou intends to go to Hong Kong and continue to preside over the anti-Japanese support work. Du Mou knows that Mr. Ming and Ah Cheng are both responsible for lurking in the enemy's rear, and their lives are in danger if they are not careful. Du Mou has an unfeeling request, and I also hope that Mr. Take care of Ah Cheng more in the future. If possible, save him, Du Mou is very grateful."
Without waiting for Minglou to ask, Du Yuesheng gave an explanation very naturally.
At this moment, Ming Lou really has a lot of mixed feelings surging in his heart, and he doesn't know how to start it...
Du Yuesheng was more affectionate and righteous than he thought, and he cared more about Ah Cheng's younger brother than he thought. What surprised him even more was that Du Yuesheng knew the identities of him and Ah Cheng!
"Master Du..."
"If Mr. Ming doesn't dislike Du's background and joins Ah Cheng, how about calling him big brother?"
Du Yuesheng interrupted Minglou again, but what he said was this sentence.
Minglou knew that this was Du Yuesheng's intentional relationship with Ah Cheng for the sake of Ah Cheng.
"Brother." Ming Lou didn't refuse, and called out Big Brother, as if he and Ah Cheng were getting closer... "Don't worry, if there is such a day, Ming Lou will definitely pay for it with his life, and Ah Cheng will live a safe life."
"Du has written down what you said." Du Yuesheng nodded, "Mr. Ming may still have to go to work, so Du will not send it away."
Minglou smiled slightly, "Farewell."
As long as you don't rob Ah Cheng from him, everything is easy to talk about.But……
Minglou turned around abruptly, wanting to ask Du Yuesheng if he knew about the time Ah Cheng was in the church...
"Two streets away from here, there is also a French church. Maybe you can find the answer you want there." Du Yuesheng sighed softly, and understood what Minglou wanted to know.
"Thank you." Minglou felt that sigh heavily on his heart.
"Brother, it's time to get up..." Mingcheng pushed open the door of Minglou's room, but he didn't see Minglou.The quilt on the bed was very neat, and there was no trace of sleeping at all.
Mingcheng glanced around and ran outside again, only to see that the car was not there.
Oops!
He won't go to the Green Gang, will he?
"Ah Cheng, tell your eldest brother to come out for breakfast." Ming Jing came down from the stairs and saw Ming Cheng's face was pale.She also panicked, "Ah Cheng, is there something uncomfortable? Ah Xiang..."
"Big, big sister, big brother is out..." Mingcheng quickly explained.
Mingjing was silent for a while, and brought Mingcheng into Minglou's room, then locked the door...
In fact, she doesn't come to this room often, and there are photos of family members in it, and there is even a single photo of Ah Cheng on the bedside table...
Mingjing pulled Mingcheng to sit on the sofa, "Ah Cheng, it was because my sister thought badly about sending you to church that year."
"Sister, I know. Let's not talk about this..."
"Listen to me... Your elder brother insisted you stay, and even made a bet with me. If he can take care of the Ming family well within two years, I will agree with him to take you back. Your elder brother was originally very resistant. Studying economics, he said that he wanted to be a famous scholar instead of being full of money. However, I did not expect that he really agreed. Watching him work day and night every day, and the business of the Ming family gradually recovering, I feel distressed and happy ..."
Minglou...Mingcheng was stunned, even unbelievable.
Is it worth giving up your dreams and pride just to keep him?
That's Minglou!
How could he...
"My sister said this because I hope you will tell us everything. We are a family. Your elder brother loves you, and your elder sister loves you too, Ah Cheng." Ming Jing touched his head, "Because Mingtai is more beautiful than you." Younger sister, my elder sister may have neglected you a lot, but my elder sister has always, always regarded you as my own younger brother. If my elder sister wasn't strong enough back then, she wouldn't have needed your elder brother to help share the burden to protect Mingtai and you..."
Mingcheng couldn't bear to turn his face away, not to let Mingjing see the tears in his eyes.
It is already very difficult for a woman in Mingjing to protect her two younger brothers, and she has to keep such a large family business, how can she have the energy to adopt him again... He understands all this.
It's just Ming Jing's explanation at this moment, which makes him even more sad...
The family affection he yearns for is always by his side, but he cannot face it with his truest face and true identity.He still has to pretend to his relatives who love him so much...
Feelings and beliefs almost tore his heart in two.
"Sister, I'm sorry..." Perhaps, only this sound can express my apology to you most directly.I can't tell you the truth, but I promise, I will always be your relative.
Ming Jing shook his head, "Ah Cheng, you haven't been sorry to anyone... You have been sensible since you were a child, and you are so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. You have to learn to rely on us, you know?"
"Hmm..." Mingcheng's heart was extremely heavy. Why was he not as happy as he imagined when he was recognized by his respected elder sister and elder brother?
After all, is he not that Ah Cheng anymore?
He is a killing machine that walks in the dark, a sharp blade of military command, a cold knife that everyone fears...
He is a celadon that can't see the sun even though it's out of the oven...
He is also the son of the biggest traitor couple in China...
He is not just the fifth master that everyone in the Qing Gang fears!
When this multiple identities enveloped him, he didn't even dare to reveal his true face to those closest to him.These were like heavy mountains, weighing him down so much that he couldn't breathe.
He will never be just a member of the Ming family...
Chapter Eight
According to what Du Yuesheng said, Minglou drove to find the French church...
During the war years, the most pitiful ones were the group of orphans who lost their homes and lost their parents and relatives.And these churches, adhering to the benevolence of God, took in some poor children.
Wealthy people and celebrities from all walks of life will regularly donate money and materials to the church in the name of funding to ensure that these children can grow up safely and happily under the blessing of God.
The same is true for the Ming family...
After parking the car in a hidden place outside the church, Minglou sneaked in through the corner door.
The church bell strikes at seven o'clock on time...
When Minglou came to the place where the children lived, he happened to see about 20 or so children being rushed out of bed by the nuns in the church.He stood against the wall, watching from afar...
"Get up! Get up quickly! Quickly! Quickly!"
The two nuns held the pointer in their hands, and the child who moved a little slower would be severely whipped.The slender pointer whipped the children, tearing their thin clothes...
However, none of the children dared to cry out, they just wanted to move faster.
Seeing this, Minglou's eyes turned red, and he clenched his hands tightly...
At this moment, all kindness and kindness become so ironic after seeing the scenes in front of them.Under the sound of the priest's morning prayer, it was such a sinful act.
A group of children swarmed and fought, just to grab the limited food.
The stronger the kids, the harder they fight, the more food they grab, and the more they can grab a nice breakfast.And those weak ones were not only beaten badly, but also couldn't eat a single biscuit...
So, a vicious circle...
Some children were so hungry that they staggered, but they were still trampled on the soles of their feet, and no one helped them...
Get that stutter or not, all kids have bruises on them...
Minglou clenched his back molars tightly, his eyes smeared with tears.His Ah Cheng is also like this. During those two years, did he live every day?
He remembered that Ah Cheng, who was sent away from Ming's house that day, was injured just right, and his body was so thin that he didn't look like a ten-year-old child. He was about the same size as six-year-old Mingtai...
Ah Cheng is the same as the children here...
Thinking of Ah Cheng being bullied and deprived of food and clothing, Ming Lou's tears kept rolling down like that, her heart was shaking with pain...
He could barely stand, squatting in the corner...
He curled up, covering his face and weeping bitterly.
Before he saw all this, he hated Ah Cheng.He complained that Ah Cheng would rather trust a person who has been with him for less than two years than tell the truth to his relative who has been with him for more than ten years.
After seeing all this, he understood.
Ah Cheng's disbelief, Ah Cheng's understanding, Ah Cheng's forbearance...
All because of too much experience.
Aunt Gui tortured and killed Ah Cheng. Although he saved Ah Cheng, he pushed Ah Cheng to another purgatory on earth again.
He couldn't even imagine how Ah Cheng survived back then...
To this day, in order not to make him and his elder sister feel any burden, even when talking about the old things, he didn't say a word about the suffering...
This kind of Ah Cheng makes people feel even more distressed, and makes people unable to let go.
His Ah Cheng!
How can it be so special?
Like a green lotus blooming from a dirty hard rock...
Mingcheng waited for a while but still didn't arrive at Minglou, so he called the city government office and asked both of them for a day off, then he picked up the phone and called Du's mansion.
"Brother Ah Sheng, it's me, Ah Cheng." Mingcheng heard the other end of the phone, and Ah Sheng went to ask Du Yuesheng to answer the phone.He couldn't help but get nervous, he was worried that Minglou's impulse would offend Boss Du.
"Ah Cheng, Mr. Ming had breakfast with me, and he will go back immediately." Du Yuesheng first told Minglou's whereabouts, but did not reveal where Minglou went. "How? Did you get scolded?"
"..." Mingcheng glanced at Aunt Gui who was in the kitchen and didn't pay attention, and then lowered his voice. "They are very kind to me, don't worry."
There were two coughs from Du Yuesheng...
"Brother, you are sick!" Mingcheng heard it, very anxious.Boss Du's health is not very good, and when they were young, they often hurt their muscles and bones, and when they got older, all kinds of problems came up. "You have to take care of your body, it's winter again..."
"Why are you so wordy." Du Yuesheng pretended to complain, but he was still very happy that his brother cared about him so much. "It's okay, I'm a little anxious to drink water. It's all Ah Sheng, who is still frizzy at such an age."
"..." Ah Sheng looked at his boss innocently.I'm sick, blame me...
"Brother Ah Sheng, look at you, don't always let people take the blame..."
Du Yuesheng tilted his head to look at Ah Sheng who was very innocent but tried his best to keep a straight face, and felt that it was really not easy for him to be a confidant. "It's okay, brother will add a small yellow croaker to him every month."
"I want the little yellow croaker too." Mingcheng immediately added after hearing this.
"It's okay, it's all there." Du Yuesheng laughed loudly, and then said seriously. "Ah Cheng, my elder brother opened an account for you in a Swiss bank in your name, and put some pocket money in it for you. The password is the birthdays of both you and Ah Fan. If you are short of money, you can Go get it, enough."
"..." Mingcheng held the microphone tightly, "Understood, big brother."
Every time the eldest brother said this, it meant that what he was going to do might cost the lives of the whole family.Although the eldest brother has a unique vision and is considerate in doing things, he still cannot avoid worrying.
"Okay, there's still a meeting in the morning." Du Yuesheng hung up the phone first, knowing that Mingcheng understood what he meant.
Aunt Gui saw Mingcheng standing next to the phone, holding the phone receiver for a while, and was very curious for a while.She walked up to him and asked with concern, "Ah Cheng, did you encounter any difficulties? Yesterday, young master..."
Mingcheng suddenly turned his head to look at her, his eyes were extremely cold. "I seem to have said last night, don't ask about my affairs."
Aunt Gui lowered her head in embarrassment, "I don't ask..."
Mingcheng walked past her, put on his overcoat and went out, without even giving him a look of charity.Tomorrow night the special train "Fuji" will pass through Shanghai, and Mingtai must successfully obtain the batch of explosives today, otherwise the operation fails, and they will have nothing to do.
Just in case, Mingcheng used Liang Zhongchun's radio station.It happened that Liang Zhongchun was unloading at Wusongkou, and when he met Mingcheng, he grabbed him...
"Brother Ah Cheng, why are you free today?" Liang Zhongchun looked at the ship that was about to leave, his eyes were bright and golden, as if there was money in front of him. "Thanks to your help from the customs these few days, brother Cheng, don't worry, I have credited the money that should be transferred to your account without any loss. Don't worry, it's from the Swiss bank."
Mingcheng smiled brightly, "Director Liang, I am naturally relieved when he handles affairs, but now that the rumors are tight, you have to pay attention to it yourself, it's too blatant, it's not good."
"I know, I know, I must keep a low profile..."
When Mingcheng returned home, Minglou was already sitting on the sofa in the hall.Originally Mingcheng was still a little timid, but when he thought about what Mingjing said, Minglou spent day and night learning to run the Ming family in order to take him back to the Ming family.Mingcheng's very timidity has turned into five points gratitude and five points guilt.
Thankfully, Minglou finally remembered what he said at that time to protect him.
What makes him feel guilty is that Mingcheng is no longer the Mingcheng that Minglou wanted to bring back to the Ming family.
"Brother..." Mingcheng stood obediently beside Minglou, and he could clearly see that Minglou's eye sockets were red and swollen, as if he had cried.
His heart couldn't help but tug hard...
"Yeah, I'm back." Minglou spoke very naturally, as if nothing had happened.It was as if nothing had happened before.
"..." Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what Minglou meant.Because he cared too much, he understood, tolerated, and accepted everything about the other party.
The phrase "I'm back" seemed to make him find his home in an instant.
Maybe that year there was no fighting, no facing death, but waiting for Minglou to pick him up.Minglou's first sentence must have been the same.
"I'm back, big brother." He replied in a low voice, his voice was no longer youthful, but more calm.
Perhaps, this is life.
She always makes us lose something in the life we originally expected. After going around, it should appear in our life, and it will eventually occupy an irreplaceable position in our life.
"You went out without breakfast again today." Minglou looked up from the newspaper in front of him, smiling softly.The warm winter sun before noon reflected the warmth of his smile.
It was so warm that Mingcheng had the illusion of dreaming for a thousand years...
Minglou pointed to the box on the coffee table, "There is still an hour and a half before lunch, so hungry, you should have a stomachache. Shen Dacheng's dim sum, fill your stomach first."
Mingcheng sat on the sofa alone, holding the snack box and unpacking it.At the same time, he carefully glanced at Minglou, "Brother, have you...have you eaten yet?"
"Eat it." Ming Lou glanced at the delicate pastry in his hand with disdain, "I brought it to you because I couldn't eat it, otherwise I wouldn't have your share."
"Who wants to eat what's left of you..." Ming Lou purposely continued, as if he was about to throw away the snack box.
"Hey, you're in high spirits, aren't you?" Minglou rolled up the newspaper and was about to pull it over.
Mingcheng picked up the box and walked upstairs, "Seeing that you can't eat it, I'll go back to my room to eat..." Shen Dacheng's pastries need to be customized, and they are all the flavors he likes to eat.
Dead duck mouth hard!
Minglou looked at Mingcheng, who was so energetic, and had endured so much, even though the most important youth was spent by the Qing Gang.However, Mingcheng is still the same Mingcheng.
Ming Lou looked at today's extremely boring newspaper and smiled very happily.
All the way back from the French church, he was thinking about how he should face Ah Cheng.When he arrived at the gate of Ah Cheng's favorite dim sum shop, he suddenly realized.
As long as Mingcheng is alive, it's fine.
He can also give him everything he likes to eat, wear, and like.As long as this is not enough.
At this moment, his Ah Cheng is by his side, accompanying him through every moment in the darkness.
What else could he be dissatisfied with?
Everything else is just like a dispensable snack.After eating, no matter whether it is bitter or sweet, it will not be a meal in the end.Just like what Ah Cheng experienced...
All he can do is to face the future with Ah Cheng.As for the identity of the eldest brother or one step closer, it depends on Ah Cheng's wishes and his efforts.
Tonight, Mingtai went back to carry out the task of blowing up the Fuji special train.When Mingcheng looked at the group photo of the four of them at the desk, he felt uneasy.
Although Mingtai is clever, but this time he is acting with the new fourth group of the underground party, he is worried that things will go wrong.After thinking and thinking, Mingcheng still turned on the desk lamp, picked up his coat and went out.
The door was closed but not locked.
"Brother..." When Mingcheng came down from upstairs, Minglou also pushed the door out from the study, his face was also full of worry.Mingcheng smiled, "I'll go take a look, brother, go to sleep."
"Let's go together." Minglou was very firm, there was no room for negotiation at all.
Mingcheng thought about going out with the two of them, if they were discovered, the risk would be even greater. "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely bring Mingtai back intact."
"What about you?" Ming Lou looked at him, "You can guarantee that you will come back safely, but I am not at ease. Am I still your big brother? If so, let's go together."
Leave the man alone in danger, something he would do everything in his power to prevent.
worry about me?Mingcheng looked at him in surprise, "You still don't feel relieved about my skill brother."
"Yes, you are a high-achieving student at Frunze Military Academy, with a full scholarship and a minor in economics." Minglou began to turn over Mingcheng's old accounts...
"You have already taught me about this, can you not mention it." Mingcheng reached out and tugged at Officer Ming's sleeve, "Please, Officer Ming."
Mingcheng drove the car to a place with a wide view in the suburbs, and the cold air came from the railway tracks not far away.Mingcheng leans on the car and looks at Minglou. "Brother, the order to Mingtai is ten ten o'clock at night. There is still half an hour, why don't you wait in the car, it's cold outside."
It's winter, when I talk, my mouth is full of white mist...
What's more, this night in the suburbs.
"Let's wait in the car together." Minglou took the initiative to open the car door for Mingcheng, seeing that Mingcheng stood there in a daze and did not move.He smiled, "Why? Afraid that I will eat you up?"
Mingcheng glared at him, "Brother, can you be serious."
Minglou bowed and sat in, holding the door with his backhand.The feeling that there were only two people in the back seat made Minglou feel a little restless, and cursed himself secretly, he really shouldn't be joking around.
Minglou and Mingcheng didn't know that just as they left, the door of the servant's room was pushed open by a hand...
The slightly flickering candlelight illuminated a numb face...
Holding the candlestick in one hand and protecting the candlelight in the other, Aunt Gui slowly moved towards the second floor with barely audible steps... Finally, she stopped at the door of Mingcheng's room.
She reached out and twisted the door handle...
click...
A strange and excited smile hung on the numb face, and the whole face became distorted.
Ever since Mingcheng moved to the innermost room at the corner, the door has been locked every day.Tonight, she just came out to try her luck, but she didn't expect that Mingcheng didn't lock the door that night.
Her footsteps became lighter, and she brought the candlestick closer to herself, and began to search for valuable information in the room.She searched very carefully...
Every time she turned over the book, she returned it to its original position...
Unfortunately, she found nothing.
There was a hint of resentment on that numb face...
She was so angry that she turned around and walked out, but her elbow accidentally brought the group photo of four people on the desk to the ground, making a muffled noise...
She was so frightened that she quickly held her breath.
After a long, long time, her eyes fixed on the photo frame that fell on the floor...
Below the photo of the four Mingjing siblings, there is an extra corner.She walked over carefully, moved the candlelight to the group photo, and reached out to pick it up.
Below the group photo is still a group photo...
A group photo of three people...
Aunt Gui immediately recognized the man on the far right with his hands in the pockets of his suit—Mingcheng, even though Mingcheng in the photo was very young, he looked like a teenager.
The one on the far left is also a young man, holding a dome in his hand and placing it politely in front of him, his brows are full of arrogance.Aunt Gui only felt inexplicably familiar...
Aunt Gui had never seen the one in the middle.
The background of the photo doesn't look like it's in China...
Aunt Gui suddenly felt that this might be a trump card to destroy the Ming family.She quickly put the photo in her arms, and frantically restored the frame to its original shape, and put it in its original position.
Then, he picked up the candlestick and pushed the door away.
After Mingtai's mission was completed, Minglou and Mingcheng returned home with peace of mind, but barely made it before dawn.
As soon as Mingcheng turned the doorknob, he felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, someone came in!
Then he reflexively looked at the group photo on the desk, his eyes suddenly darkened...
There is no secret in his room, let alone any evidence that can be manipulated.Except for the group photo that he has been reluctant to destroy...
His eyes were fixed on the photo frame, and there were only three words in his mind.
How to do.
He has a habit of putting the most important things in the most conspicuous places and marking them so that no one but him can see them.Now this mark is gone...
Regardless of how the person who entered the room found the group photo hidden behind the group photo, one thing is certain.
The photos inside must have been taken away.
Ten years ago, this photo was a precious coming-of-age gift for him...
However, ten years later, the identities of the other two people in the photo are already sensitive, and once they are exposed, it will be a catastrophe.
That photo was enough to ruin everything he did behind enemy lines, enough to destroy Minglou, and enough to destroy the Ming family.
It might even hurt Rongchu...
Yang Muchi and Rongchu look very similar, he can explain that he and Rongchu have known each other for a long time.So what about Du Luning?Du Luning is the second-level lieutenant general of the Kuomintang...
Mingcheng sat in front of the desk, looking at the four people in the photo who were smiling happily in the past, his mind was completely blank.
Although this was an accident, it was also the result of his indulgence...
Exposure of identity is the worst plan for an agent, and death for the country is unavoidable.However, is there any way to redeem it?
There must be!there must be.
His teacher taught him many ways...
Suddenly, Mingcheng thought of a sentence Du Luning said - if one day your identity is exposed, what you have to do is not to clarify, but to add to the mistakes.
Wrong on top of wrong?
——Yes, wrong on top of wrong.You have to tell your opponent your other identity.
What if not?
——What is real is empty, and what is empty is real.As the old saying goes, soldiers never tire of cheating.Lies are also a way to survive and win.Never underestimate the charm of language.
Mingcheng pressed his eyebrows, thinking about his identity...
Yes, he is not only a student of Du Luning, he also has an identity that is closer to the Japanese.His godmother is Chen Bijun, the first lady of the Wang puppet government.
He needs to calm down now and think about his opponent's next move...
At home, he, Minglou, and Mingtai are not here, and Mingjing will not enter his room casually, let alone late at night.Nor would Ah Xiang... Aunt Gui must have taken the photo.
Then, Aunt Gui is definitely a lone wolf.
Lone Wolf is the informant that Nan Tian placed next to Minglou in the special high school. Now that he has this photo in his hand, he will definitely hand it over to Nan Tian, maybe it is already in Nan Tian's hands...
Nantian, this woman is proud and conceited, but also wants to make military achievements... Moreover, he can see that this woman has other meanings for him.
Women want to coax... Minglou said so, so coax first!
Then let Nan Tian believe his other identity...
and then?
Sooner or later, his identity as Han Dao will be exposed because of this photo, so this photo must be taken back!But Nantian will definitely not give...
Nantian can't stay, and Lone Wolf can't keep the photos after seeing it...
However, he currently has no reason to attack Nantian.When he moved this way, he automatically exposed himself to all the spies in Shanghai.
In the end, maybe not only Minglou would know his identity.
Mingcheng lit a cigarette...
opportunity.
All he needs is timing.Get rid of Nantian and Lone Wolf at the same time, and get back the photos...
Now, all the original plans must be pushed forward...
After Mingcheng sorted out everything, he changed into a coat and hurried downstairs...
"Brother Ah Cheng, what are you doing?" Mingtai bumped into Mingcheng the moment he came back, and he was still joking with a playful face, and he couldn't see the special train that bombed him at all. "Going out so early, I'm not afraid that my elder brother will deduct my salary."
"Tell brother, I have something to do, I'll be back in an hour." Mingcheng set off quickly, and Mingtai only saw
"The French church that adopted me was destroyed by a fire one night because of the infighting between the Qing Gang and the Hongmen. Big..." Mingcheng saw his hand was suddenly tightly grasped by Minglou, and he immediately changed his mind. mouth. "Master Du was the leader of the Green Gang at the time. He rescued me and gave me to my sister-in-law to take care of me."
"Then why did you have injuries all over your body at that time? That's how he took care of you in those two years?" Ming Lou will never forget that when he met Ah Cheng again at the pier, he saw the wound bleeding and was surrounded by a group of people fight scene.
"Big...Master Du was not the boss of the Green Gang at that time, he just helped Boss Huang manage the casino. The rules in the Green Gang are not allowed to hide private money, and life will be even more difficult after I have one more family. Master Du is loyal and receives a salary. He also has to subsidize the injured brothers, his sister-in-law is sick all year round, and Xiaofan is still young, so he often eats the last meal without the next one. Even so, he never leaves the three of us hungry..."
At that time, Du Yuesheng was very thin and never had a meal at home.When I go out in the morning, I always eat half a wotou from the previous night...
Mingcheng admires him very much, and what he learned from him is the responsibility of a man.
provide for the family.
It is the most simple portrayal of Du Yuesheng's life at that time.
"Later, Master Du went to the Huang Mansion for a meeting, and a group of people from Hongmen who had a feud with Master Du came to the door that day. My sister-in-law was too sick to get out of bed, and Xiaofan was not yet six years old. I couldn't let them suffer any harm. Hurt. So, I beat them all to the ground..."
Afraid that he would be bullied, Du Yue specially asked two confidantes around him to teach him self-defense martial arts.Although it was the first real fight, but because of his belief that death was his home, every blow he made was a deadly blow, and two people were beaten to death by him...
He didn't dare to let Ming Jing and Ming Lou know about this.
He was afraid that they would know how bloody and dirty he was...
"There are rules in the Tao. Master Du was afraid that I would be retaliated by Hongmen, so he asked me to worship Boss Huang as an old man. This made Hongmen no longer want to touch me." Mingcheng lowered his head and narrated his story little by little. What happened in more than two years, "Because of my seniority, but my young age, Boss Huang was worried that the brothers in the gang would not accept it, so he threw me to the pier for training. The injuries on my body were all left during the fight..."
"Actually, when I saw you, big brother, I didn't expect you to recognize me. I originally planned to be a bastard all my life..." Mingcheng cried when he saw Ming Jing, and he knelt in front of Ming Jing. "Eldest sister, I am very grateful to you and elder brother for taking me in. The Ming family has treated me with great kindness, and Ah Cheng never dares to forget..."
"It's all my fault. If I hadn't sent you away back then, nothing like this would have happened. Ah Cheng, my sister is sorry for you, it's all my sister's fault..." Ming Jing knelt on the ground, hugged Ming Cheng and cried .
Mingcheng's tears flowed down, he saw Minglou opened the door of the small ancestral hall, and the figure from his back gradually disappeared in front of his eyes...
The most unacceptable thing is Minglou...
The Ah Cheng in Minglou's heart is upright and kind, his heart is full of light, and there is a lofty belief hidden in his chest... But now Minglou has fallen into a black quagmire from head to toe, and it is difficult to wash away.
"Eldest sister..." Mingcheng gently stroked Ming Jing's back, and whispered softly in her ear. "You are not wrong, we are not wrong, it is the world that is wrong."
If there were no parents who gave birth to him but made him an orphan, he would not have met Aunt Gui who tortured and killed him.If it wasn't for him not having a adoptive mother like Aunt Gui, he wouldn't have been sent to that church because of the Ming family.If the church hadn't been too filthy, he wouldn't have met Du Yuesheng...
It's wrong, this world is too chaotic.
"Ah Cheng, don't leave us, you are a child of my Ming family!" Ming Jing hugged him tightly, "We can't live without a single one in our family, can you promise my sister not to leave?"
"I'm not going, sister. I'm not going..."
When Minglou came down from upstairs, he already felt top-heavy.He helped the handrail of the stairs and stood there for a long, long time...
Ah Cheng may have said a lot of things back then, but according to Ah Cheng's character, in order not to embarrass him and his eldest sister, he must have concealed some facts.
Like, how was he doing in church...
For example, how did he learn to fight?And how much hard work I have had to learn this...
These Ah Cheng are omitted, and what are often omitted are the most painful experiences.And Du Yuesheng is the only one who knows Ah Cheng's experiences!
Minglou saw that the sky had cleared up. Today is the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
He took the car keys and went out.
Driving on the street, he just wanted to go to Du's mansion and ask Du Yuesheng for clarification.
As soon as his car stopped, someone greeted him.
"Mr. Ming, Master Du is here to invite you."
Ming Lou was stunned for a moment, Du Yuesheng guessed that he was coming back, and specially asked people to wait here for him, so how much did he care about Ah Cheng!
Du Yuesheng was sitting on the Luohan couch, and when he saw Minglou coming in, he made a gesture of invitation.
Minglou sat down on the other side with a blank face...
"Today's conversation, I thought it should have happened more than ten years ago." Du Yuesheng didn't look at Minglou's stunned expression, "I didn't stop you when you took Ah Cheng away. At that time, I couldn't In this way, give him a stable life. Second, he will receive a better education if he follows you. Even if he is a servant of your Ming family, he is better than a gangster. Moreover, I can see that you care about him. really cared..."
When Minglou led Mingcheng away from the pier, he was in a car not far away.
He found out about Mingcheng's past affairs, and deliberately let Mingcheng appear in front of Minglou to see if Minglou would still know Mingcheng, or if he would kindly take Mingcheng in again.
Because at that time he participated in some activities that might kill him, he didn't want Mingcheng to die with him.He wants to settle Mingcheng down before he goes on an adventure.
The Ming family is the best choice.
To his surprise, Minglou recognized Mingcheng at a glance, he couldn't mistake the look in his lost and found eyes...so he was very relieved.
"..." It turns out that all of this was arranged by the boss of the Youth Gang, arranging a way out for his younger brother before he died.Minglou thought, maybe he should really thank this man...
"When I saw Ah Cheng, he was trying to run out of the fire. The fire was very big, but he never gave up..." Du Yuesheng still feels bitter when he thinks of the clear and persistent eyes in the fire endlessly. "At that time, I thought, this child must be able to accomplish a lot. Mr. Ming has raised him very well, I must admit this. Thank you."
It is impossible for Du Yuesheng to say thank you.
This thank you is by no means empty words, and a promise is given when it is said.Even if the Green Gang owes a big favor, they will pay it back even if they go through fire and water in the future.
"Mingcheng is my younger brother, so there's no need for Master Du to thank you." Minglou refused without hesitation.
Ah Cheng is his family, it is his duty to teach him and protect him.
Du Yuesheng smiled, "Mr. Ming really cares about Ah Cheng, so I can rest assured."
Minglou suddenly looked up...
Ten years ago, this man quietly returned Ah Cheng to him in order to protect Ah Cheng and find a better way out for Ah Cheng.
More than ten years later, what is the purpose of this man breaking the secret and knowing the conversation with him?
"Master Du..."
"The nation was killed, and the mother country was humiliated. Although Du was reckless, he also had the ambition to serve the country. Shanghai fell, and Japan wooed and threatened, but Du refused. However, blindly rejecting it is not a good strategy. Therefore, Du Mou intends to go to Hong Kong and continue to preside over the anti-Japanese support work. Du Mou knows that Mr. Ming and Ah Cheng are both responsible for lurking in the enemy's rear, and their lives are in danger if they are not careful. Du Mou has an unfeeling request, and I also hope that Mr. Take care of Ah Cheng more in the future. If possible, save him, Du Mou is very grateful."
Without waiting for Minglou to ask, Du Yuesheng gave an explanation very naturally.
At this moment, Ming Lou really has a lot of mixed feelings surging in his heart, and he doesn't know how to start it...
Du Yuesheng was more affectionate and righteous than he thought, and he cared more about Ah Cheng's younger brother than he thought. What surprised him even more was that Du Yuesheng knew the identities of him and Ah Cheng!
"Master Du..."
"If Mr. Ming doesn't dislike Du's background and joins Ah Cheng, how about calling him big brother?"
Du Yuesheng interrupted Minglou again, but what he said was this sentence.
Minglou knew that this was Du Yuesheng's intentional relationship with Ah Cheng for the sake of Ah Cheng.
"Brother." Ming Lou didn't refuse, and called out Big Brother, as if he and Ah Cheng were getting closer... "Don't worry, if there is such a day, Ming Lou will definitely pay for it with his life, and Ah Cheng will live a safe life."
"Du has written down what you said." Du Yuesheng nodded, "Mr. Ming may still have to go to work, so Du will not send it away."
Minglou smiled slightly, "Farewell."
As long as you don't rob Ah Cheng from him, everything is easy to talk about.But……
Minglou turned around abruptly, wanting to ask Du Yuesheng if he knew about the time Ah Cheng was in the church...
"Two streets away from here, there is also a French church. Maybe you can find the answer you want there." Du Yuesheng sighed softly, and understood what Minglou wanted to know.
"Thank you." Minglou felt that sigh heavily on his heart.
"Brother, it's time to get up..." Mingcheng pushed open the door of Minglou's room, but he didn't see Minglou.The quilt on the bed was very neat, and there was no trace of sleeping at all.
Mingcheng glanced around and ran outside again, only to see that the car was not there.
Oops!
He won't go to the Green Gang, will he?
"Ah Cheng, tell your eldest brother to come out for breakfast." Ming Jing came down from the stairs and saw Ming Cheng's face was pale.She also panicked, "Ah Cheng, is there something uncomfortable? Ah Xiang..."
"Big, big sister, big brother is out..." Mingcheng quickly explained.
Mingjing was silent for a while, and brought Mingcheng into Minglou's room, then locked the door...
In fact, she doesn't come to this room often, and there are photos of family members in it, and there is even a single photo of Ah Cheng on the bedside table...
Mingjing pulled Mingcheng to sit on the sofa, "Ah Cheng, it was because my sister thought badly about sending you to church that year."
"Sister, I know. Let's not talk about this..."
"Listen to me... Your elder brother insisted you stay, and even made a bet with me. If he can take care of the Ming family well within two years, I will agree with him to take you back. Your elder brother was originally very resistant. Studying economics, he said that he wanted to be a famous scholar instead of being full of money. However, I did not expect that he really agreed. Watching him work day and night every day, and the business of the Ming family gradually recovering, I feel distressed and happy ..."
Minglou...Mingcheng was stunned, even unbelievable.
Is it worth giving up your dreams and pride just to keep him?
That's Minglou!
How could he...
"My sister said this because I hope you will tell us everything. We are a family. Your elder brother loves you, and your elder sister loves you too, Ah Cheng." Ming Jing touched his head, "Because Mingtai is more beautiful than you." Younger sister, my elder sister may have neglected you a lot, but my elder sister has always, always regarded you as my own younger brother. If my elder sister wasn't strong enough back then, she wouldn't have needed your elder brother to help share the burden to protect Mingtai and you..."
Mingcheng couldn't bear to turn his face away, not to let Mingjing see the tears in his eyes.
It is already very difficult for a woman in Mingjing to protect her two younger brothers, and she has to keep such a large family business, how can she have the energy to adopt him again... He understands all this.
It's just Ming Jing's explanation at this moment, which makes him even more sad...
The family affection he yearns for is always by his side, but he cannot face it with his truest face and true identity.He still has to pretend to his relatives who love him so much...
Feelings and beliefs almost tore his heart in two.
"Sister, I'm sorry..." Perhaps, only this sound can express my apology to you most directly.I can't tell you the truth, but I promise, I will always be your relative.
Ming Jing shook his head, "Ah Cheng, you haven't been sorry to anyone... You have been sensible since you were a child, and you are so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. You have to learn to rely on us, you know?"
"Hmm..." Mingcheng's heart was extremely heavy. Why was he not as happy as he imagined when he was recognized by his respected elder sister and elder brother?
After all, is he not that Ah Cheng anymore?
He is a killing machine that walks in the dark, a sharp blade of military command, a cold knife that everyone fears...
He is a celadon that can't see the sun even though it's out of the oven...
He is also the son of the biggest traitor couple in China...
He is not just the fifth master that everyone in the Qing Gang fears!
When this multiple identities enveloped him, he didn't even dare to reveal his true face to those closest to him.These were like heavy mountains, weighing him down so much that he couldn't breathe.
He will never be just a member of the Ming family...
Chapter Eight
According to what Du Yuesheng said, Minglou drove to find the French church...
During the war years, the most pitiful ones were the group of orphans who lost their homes and lost their parents and relatives.And these churches, adhering to the benevolence of God, took in some poor children.
Wealthy people and celebrities from all walks of life will regularly donate money and materials to the church in the name of funding to ensure that these children can grow up safely and happily under the blessing of God.
The same is true for the Ming family...
After parking the car in a hidden place outside the church, Minglou sneaked in through the corner door.
The church bell strikes at seven o'clock on time...
When Minglou came to the place where the children lived, he happened to see about 20 or so children being rushed out of bed by the nuns in the church.He stood against the wall, watching from afar...
"Get up! Get up quickly! Quickly! Quickly!"
The two nuns held the pointer in their hands, and the child who moved a little slower would be severely whipped.The slender pointer whipped the children, tearing their thin clothes...
However, none of the children dared to cry out, they just wanted to move faster.
Seeing this, Minglou's eyes turned red, and he clenched his hands tightly...
At this moment, all kindness and kindness become so ironic after seeing the scenes in front of them.Under the sound of the priest's morning prayer, it was such a sinful act.
A group of children swarmed and fought, just to grab the limited food.
The stronger the kids, the harder they fight, the more food they grab, and the more they can grab a nice breakfast.And those weak ones were not only beaten badly, but also couldn't eat a single biscuit...
So, a vicious circle...
Some children were so hungry that they staggered, but they were still trampled on the soles of their feet, and no one helped them...
Get that stutter or not, all kids have bruises on them...
Minglou clenched his back molars tightly, his eyes smeared with tears.His Ah Cheng is also like this. During those two years, did he live every day?
He remembered that Ah Cheng, who was sent away from Ming's house that day, was injured just right, and his body was so thin that he didn't look like a ten-year-old child. He was about the same size as six-year-old Mingtai...
Ah Cheng is the same as the children here...
Thinking of Ah Cheng being bullied and deprived of food and clothing, Ming Lou's tears kept rolling down like that, her heart was shaking with pain...
He could barely stand, squatting in the corner...
He curled up, covering his face and weeping bitterly.
Before he saw all this, he hated Ah Cheng.He complained that Ah Cheng would rather trust a person who has been with him for less than two years than tell the truth to his relative who has been with him for more than ten years.
After seeing all this, he understood.
Ah Cheng's disbelief, Ah Cheng's understanding, Ah Cheng's forbearance...
All because of too much experience.
Aunt Gui tortured and killed Ah Cheng. Although he saved Ah Cheng, he pushed Ah Cheng to another purgatory on earth again.
He couldn't even imagine how Ah Cheng survived back then...
To this day, in order not to make him and his elder sister feel any burden, even when talking about the old things, he didn't say a word about the suffering...
This kind of Ah Cheng makes people feel even more distressed, and makes people unable to let go.
His Ah Cheng!
How can it be so special?
Like a green lotus blooming from a dirty hard rock...
Mingcheng waited for a while but still didn't arrive at Minglou, so he called the city government office and asked both of them for a day off, then he picked up the phone and called Du's mansion.
"Brother Ah Sheng, it's me, Ah Cheng." Mingcheng heard the other end of the phone, and Ah Sheng went to ask Du Yuesheng to answer the phone.He couldn't help but get nervous, he was worried that Minglou's impulse would offend Boss Du.
"Ah Cheng, Mr. Ming had breakfast with me, and he will go back immediately." Du Yuesheng first told Minglou's whereabouts, but did not reveal where Minglou went. "How? Did you get scolded?"
"..." Mingcheng glanced at Aunt Gui who was in the kitchen and didn't pay attention, and then lowered his voice. "They are very kind to me, don't worry."
There were two coughs from Du Yuesheng...
"Brother, you are sick!" Mingcheng heard it, very anxious.Boss Du's health is not very good, and when they were young, they often hurt their muscles and bones, and when they got older, all kinds of problems came up. "You have to take care of your body, it's winter again..."
"Why are you so wordy." Du Yuesheng pretended to complain, but he was still very happy that his brother cared about him so much. "It's okay, I'm a little anxious to drink water. It's all Ah Sheng, who is still frizzy at such an age."
"..." Ah Sheng looked at his boss innocently.I'm sick, blame me...
"Brother Ah Sheng, look at you, don't always let people take the blame..."
Du Yuesheng tilted his head to look at Ah Sheng who was very innocent but tried his best to keep a straight face, and felt that it was really not easy for him to be a confidant. "It's okay, brother will add a small yellow croaker to him every month."
"I want the little yellow croaker too." Mingcheng immediately added after hearing this.
"It's okay, it's all there." Du Yuesheng laughed loudly, and then said seriously. "Ah Cheng, my elder brother opened an account for you in a Swiss bank in your name, and put some pocket money in it for you. The password is the birthdays of both you and Ah Fan. If you are short of money, you can Go get it, enough."
"..." Mingcheng held the microphone tightly, "Understood, big brother."
Every time the eldest brother said this, it meant that what he was going to do might cost the lives of the whole family.Although the eldest brother has a unique vision and is considerate in doing things, he still cannot avoid worrying.
"Okay, there's still a meeting in the morning." Du Yuesheng hung up the phone first, knowing that Mingcheng understood what he meant.
Aunt Gui saw Mingcheng standing next to the phone, holding the phone receiver for a while, and was very curious for a while.She walked up to him and asked with concern, "Ah Cheng, did you encounter any difficulties? Yesterday, young master..."
Mingcheng suddenly turned his head to look at her, his eyes were extremely cold. "I seem to have said last night, don't ask about my affairs."
Aunt Gui lowered her head in embarrassment, "I don't ask..."
Mingcheng walked past her, put on his overcoat and went out, without even giving him a look of charity.Tomorrow night the special train "Fuji" will pass through Shanghai, and Mingtai must successfully obtain the batch of explosives today, otherwise the operation fails, and they will have nothing to do.
Just in case, Mingcheng used Liang Zhongchun's radio station.It happened that Liang Zhongchun was unloading at Wusongkou, and when he met Mingcheng, he grabbed him...
"Brother Ah Cheng, why are you free today?" Liang Zhongchun looked at the ship that was about to leave, his eyes were bright and golden, as if there was money in front of him. "Thanks to your help from the customs these few days, brother Cheng, don't worry, I have credited the money that should be transferred to your account without any loss. Don't worry, it's from the Swiss bank."
Mingcheng smiled brightly, "Director Liang, I am naturally relieved when he handles affairs, but now that the rumors are tight, you have to pay attention to it yourself, it's too blatant, it's not good."
"I know, I know, I must keep a low profile..."
When Mingcheng returned home, Minglou was already sitting on the sofa in the hall.Originally Mingcheng was still a little timid, but when he thought about what Mingjing said, Minglou spent day and night learning to run the Ming family in order to take him back to the Ming family.Mingcheng's very timidity has turned into five points gratitude and five points guilt.
Thankfully, Minglou finally remembered what he said at that time to protect him.
What makes him feel guilty is that Mingcheng is no longer the Mingcheng that Minglou wanted to bring back to the Ming family.
"Brother..." Mingcheng stood obediently beside Minglou, and he could clearly see that Minglou's eye sockets were red and swollen, as if he had cried.
His heart couldn't help but tug hard...
"Yeah, I'm back." Minglou spoke very naturally, as if nothing had happened.It was as if nothing had happened before.
"..." Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood what Minglou meant.Because he cared too much, he understood, tolerated, and accepted everything about the other party.
The phrase "I'm back" seemed to make him find his home in an instant.
Maybe that year there was no fighting, no facing death, but waiting for Minglou to pick him up.Minglou's first sentence must have been the same.
"I'm back, big brother." He replied in a low voice, his voice was no longer youthful, but more calm.
Perhaps, this is life.
She always makes us lose something in the life we originally expected. After going around, it should appear in our life, and it will eventually occupy an irreplaceable position in our life.
"You went out without breakfast again today." Minglou looked up from the newspaper in front of him, smiling softly.The warm winter sun before noon reflected the warmth of his smile.
It was so warm that Mingcheng had the illusion of dreaming for a thousand years...
Minglou pointed to the box on the coffee table, "There is still an hour and a half before lunch, so hungry, you should have a stomachache. Shen Dacheng's dim sum, fill your stomach first."
Mingcheng sat on the sofa alone, holding the snack box and unpacking it.At the same time, he carefully glanced at Minglou, "Brother, have you...have you eaten yet?"
"Eat it." Ming Lou glanced at the delicate pastry in his hand with disdain, "I brought it to you because I couldn't eat it, otherwise I wouldn't have your share."
"Who wants to eat what's left of you..." Ming Lou purposely continued, as if he was about to throw away the snack box.
"Hey, you're in high spirits, aren't you?" Minglou rolled up the newspaper and was about to pull it over.
Mingcheng picked up the box and walked upstairs, "Seeing that you can't eat it, I'll go back to my room to eat..." Shen Dacheng's pastries need to be customized, and they are all the flavors he likes to eat.
Dead duck mouth hard!
Minglou looked at Mingcheng, who was so energetic, and had endured so much, even though the most important youth was spent by the Qing Gang.However, Mingcheng is still the same Mingcheng.
Ming Lou looked at today's extremely boring newspaper and smiled very happily.
All the way back from the French church, he was thinking about how he should face Ah Cheng.When he arrived at the gate of Ah Cheng's favorite dim sum shop, he suddenly realized.
As long as Mingcheng is alive, it's fine.
He can also give him everything he likes to eat, wear, and like.As long as this is not enough.
At this moment, his Ah Cheng is by his side, accompanying him through every moment in the darkness.
What else could he be dissatisfied with?
Everything else is just like a dispensable snack.After eating, no matter whether it is bitter or sweet, it will not be a meal in the end.Just like what Ah Cheng experienced...
All he can do is to face the future with Ah Cheng.As for the identity of the eldest brother or one step closer, it depends on Ah Cheng's wishes and his efforts.
Tonight, Mingtai went back to carry out the task of blowing up the Fuji special train.When Mingcheng looked at the group photo of the four of them at the desk, he felt uneasy.
Although Mingtai is clever, but this time he is acting with the new fourth group of the underground party, he is worried that things will go wrong.After thinking and thinking, Mingcheng still turned on the desk lamp, picked up his coat and went out.
The door was closed but not locked.
"Brother..." When Mingcheng came down from upstairs, Minglou also pushed the door out from the study, his face was also full of worry.Mingcheng smiled, "I'll go take a look, brother, go to sleep."
"Let's go together." Minglou was very firm, there was no room for negotiation at all.
Mingcheng thought about going out with the two of them, if they were discovered, the risk would be even greater. "Brother, don't worry, I will definitely bring Mingtai back intact."
"What about you?" Ming Lou looked at him, "You can guarantee that you will come back safely, but I am not at ease. Am I still your big brother? If so, let's go together."
Leave the man alone in danger, something he would do everything in his power to prevent.
worry about me?Mingcheng looked at him in surprise, "You still don't feel relieved about my skill brother."
"Yes, you are a high-achieving student at Frunze Military Academy, with a full scholarship and a minor in economics." Minglou began to turn over Mingcheng's old accounts...
"You have already taught me about this, can you not mention it." Mingcheng reached out and tugged at Officer Ming's sleeve, "Please, Officer Ming."
Mingcheng drove the car to a place with a wide view in the suburbs, and the cold air came from the railway tracks not far away.Mingcheng leans on the car and looks at Minglou. "Brother, the order to Mingtai is ten ten o'clock at night. There is still half an hour, why don't you wait in the car, it's cold outside."
It's winter, when I talk, my mouth is full of white mist...
What's more, this night in the suburbs.
"Let's wait in the car together." Minglou took the initiative to open the car door for Mingcheng, seeing that Mingcheng stood there in a daze and did not move.He smiled, "Why? Afraid that I will eat you up?"
Mingcheng glared at him, "Brother, can you be serious."
Minglou bowed and sat in, holding the door with his backhand.The feeling that there were only two people in the back seat made Minglou feel a little restless, and cursed himself secretly, he really shouldn't be joking around.
Minglou and Mingcheng didn't know that just as they left, the door of the servant's room was pushed open by a hand...
The slightly flickering candlelight illuminated a numb face...
Holding the candlestick in one hand and protecting the candlelight in the other, Aunt Gui slowly moved towards the second floor with barely audible steps... Finally, she stopped at the door of Mingcheng's room.
She reached out and twisted the door handle...
click...
A strange and excited smile hung on the numb face, and the whole face became distorted.
Ever since Mingcheng moved to the innermost room at the corner, the door has been locked every day.Tonight, she just came out to try her luck, but she didn't expect that Mingcheng didn't lock the door that night.
Her footsteps became lighter, and she brought the candlestick closer to herself, and began to search for valuable information in the room.She searched very carefully...
Every time she turned over the book, she returned it to its original position...
Unfortunately, she found nothing.
There was a hint of resentment on that numb face...
She was so angry that she turned around and walked out, but her elbow accidentally brought the group photo of four people on the desk to the ground, making a muffled noise...
She was so frightened that she quickly held her breath.
After a long, long time, her eyes fixed on the photo frame that fell on the floor...
Below the photo of the four Mingjing siblings, there is an extra corner.She walked over carefully, moved the candlelight to the group photo, and reached out to pick it up.
Below the group photo is still a group photo...
A group photo of three people...
Aunt Gui immediately recognized the man on the far right with his hands in the pockets of his suit—Mingcheng, even though Mingcheng in the photo was very young, he looked like a teenager.
The one on the far left is also a young man, holding a dome in his hand and placing it politely in front of him, his brows are full of arrogance.Aunt Gui only felt inexplicably familiar...
Aunt Gui had never seen the one in the middle.
The background of the photo doesn't look like it's in China...
Aunt Gui suddenly felt that this might be a trump card to destroy the Ming family.She quickly put the photo in her arms, and frantically restored the frame to its original shape, and put it in its original position.
Then, he picked up the candlestick and pushed the door away.
After Mingtai's mission was completed, Minglou and Mingcheng returned home with peace of mind, but barely made it before dawn.
As soon as Mingcheng turned the doorknob, he felt that something was wrong. Sure enough, someone came in!
Then he reflexively looked at the group photo on the desk, his eyes suddenly darkened...
There is no secret in his room, let alone any evidence that can be manipulated.Except for the group photo that he has been reluctant to destroy...
His eyes were fixed on the photo frame, and there were only three words in his mind.
How to do.
He has a habit of putting the most important things in the most conspicuous places and marking them so that no one but him can see them.Now this mark is gone...
Regardless of how the person who entered the room found the group photo hidden behind the group photo, one thing is certain.
The photos inside must have been taken away.
Ten years ago, this photo was a precious coming-of-age gift for him...
However, ten years later, the identities of the other two people in the photo are already sensitive, and once they are exposed, it will be a catastrophe.
That photo was enough to ruin everything he did behind enemy lines, enough to destroy Minglou, and enough to destroy the Ming family.
It might even hurt Rongchu...
Yang Muchi and Rongchu look very similar, he can explain that he and Rongchu have known each other for a long time.So what about Du Luning?Du Luning is the second-level lieutenant general of the Kuomintang...
Mingcheng sat in front of the desk, looking at the four people in the photo who were smiling happily in the past, his mind was completely blank.
Although this was an accident, it was also the result of his indulgence...
Exposure of identity is the worst plan for an agent, and death for the country is unavoidable.However, is there any way to redeem it?
There must be!there must be.
His teacher taught him many ways...
Suddenly, Mingcheng thought of a sentence Du Luning said - if one day your identity is exposed, what you have to do is not to clarify, but to add to the mistakes.
Wrong on top of wrong?
——Yes, wrong on top of wrong.You have to tell your opponent your other identity.
What if not?
——What is real is empty, and what is empty is real.As the old saying goes, soldiers never tire of cheating.Lies are also a way to survive and win.Never underestimate the charm of language.
Mingcheng pressed his eyebrows, thinking about his identity...
Yes, he is not only a student of Du Luning, he also has an identity that is closer to the Japanese.His godmother is Chen Bijun, the first lady of the Wang puppet government.
He needs to calm down now and think about his opponent's next move...
At home, he, Minglou, and Mingtai are not here, and Mingjing will not enter his room casually, let alone late at night.Nor would Ah Xiang... Aunt Gui must have taken the photo.
Then, Aunt Gui is definitely a lone wolf.
Lone Wolf is the informant that Nan Tian placed next to Minglou in the special high school. Now that he has this photo in his hand, he will definitely hand it over to Nan Tian, maybe it is already in Nan Tian's hands...
Nantian, this woman is proud and conceited, but also wants to make military achievements... Moreover, he can see that this woman has other meanings for him.
Women want to coax... Minglou said so, so coax first!
Then let Nan Tian believe his other identity...
and then?
Sooner or later, his identity as Han Dao will be exposed because of this photo, so this photo must be taken back!But Nantian will definitely not give...
Nantian can't stay, and Lone Wolf can't keep the photos after seeing it...
However, he currently has no reason to attack Nantian.When he moved this way, he automatically exposed himself to all the spies in Shanghai.
In the end, maybe not only Minglou would know his identity.
Mingcheng lit a cigarette...
opportunity.
All he needs is timing.Get rid of Nantian and Lone Wolf at the same time, and get back the photos...
Now, all the original plans must be pushed forward...
After Mingcheng sorted out everything, he changed into a coat and hurried downstairs...
"Brother Ah Cheng, what are you doing?" Mingtai bumped into Mingcheng the moment he came back, and he was still joking with a playful face, and he couldn't see the special train that bombed him at all. "Going out so early, I'm not afraid that my elder brother will deduct my salary."
"Tell brother, I have something to do, I'll be back in an hour." Mingcheng set off quickly, and Mingtai only saw
