[Lou Cheng's first time] Nirvana

Drinking tea in the office, he brought a document on the cooperation between the government and the chamber of commerce, which needs to be signed by Rong Chu...

Rong Chu's pen is a dragon and a snake, and his signature is full of domineering and domineering.He smiled slightly at Mingcheng who was opposite him, "Come on, let's have lunch together?"

Mingcheng nodded unceremoniously, "I haven't paid my salary this month, so I'll go as soon as you treat me."

"A place where you only work and don't get paid is definitely not a good place." Rong Chu shook his head and teased. "I'm a treat, you can eat whatever you want."

"Dragon liver and phoenix marrow are also available?"

"As long as you can eat it, why not?"

Then, the noise from downstairs abruptly interrupted the conversation between the two of them.When the two went downstairs, they saw Zhumu Qinghe who died tragically on the escalator.

It's too dirty to die here... As the chairman of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, Rong Chu couldn't turn a blind eye. He glanced at the people around him, "Who can tell what's going on?"

"Mr. Takeki suddenly fell down and bumped into that..." The accompanying female secretary from Japan was already crying in fright, her finger pointing at the murder weapon was shaking wildly.

Rong Chu secretly cursed: Retribution! "It just so happens that Mr. Ming is here. You call the city government office and ask the people from No. 76 to deal with it. It's all gone, there's nothing to see."

Mingcheng saw that the people were almost walking, so he approached the corpse. "What a tragedy..." However, if the conditions on the scene did not allow it, he would not have died so cheaply.

"Death is more than a crime." Rong Chu leaned into Ming Cheng's ear, and said four words with a low smile.

"Indeed." Mingcheng nodded seriously.

Rong Chu's eyes were sharper, and he saw a note pasted in the gap between the wooden bars of the escalator.He walked over quickly, reached out and took it out...

——Do justice for the sky, Han Dao.

At the end of the note, a short-bladed saber was drawn...

Rongchu felt the coolness all over his body, and handed the note to Mingcheng.He expressed emotion to Mingcheng with a voice that only two people could hear. "It seems that the cold knife you know is stronger than you."

Mingcheng squeezed the note, and looked helplessly at President Yang, who was just watching the show with his arms folded... "According to the schedule of No. 76, when they arrive, the liver and phoenix will be cold."

Rong Chu gracefully leaned against the escalator on the other side, and Ming Cheng stood beside him standing straight.He tilted his head and raised his eyebrows, "It's okay, the big deal is that I will invite you next time, and I will definitely let you eat. Now, it's important to go to the theater."

It's Wang Manchun who came...

After she left the case, she came in front of the two of them. "President Yang, wait a long time."

"Ms. Yang is a businessman. He picks flowers but not thorns. Director Wang is polite." Rong Chu smiled like a spring breeze. "On the other hand, Ah Cheng, we still have an appointment to have dinner together. Please ask Director Wang if you have any questions, and we will answer them quickly."

Rongchu has a problem, protecting his weaknesses.

In his heart, he regards Mingcheng as his younger brother, not Celadon, let alone a housekeeper of the Ming family.His words were telling Wang Manchun not to look at Mingcheng with that superior look!

Wang Manchun was not stupid either, she looked at Mingcheng and smiled strangely. "I don't know when Ah Cheng and Chairman Yang got so close."

"Director Wang has a lot of things to do every day, and there are many things he doesn't know, let alone such a small matter." If Wang Manchun thought that Mingcheng was a person who was easy to bully, he was wrong.Without Minglou by his side, Mingcheng is a smooth and sophisticated person.His words are pearls of pearls, and they are not inferior.

Rongchu couldn't help clapping his hands when he heard it.

Wang Manchun was so angry that she turned her head and left...

"Director Wang." Mingcheng stopped Wang Manchun with a bright smile.Under Wang Manchun's glaring gaze, he raised the note in his hand. "The murderer left it behind. I think you must need it."

Both Rongchu and Mingcheng clearly felt that Wang Manchun's hand holding the note trembled slightly.

This number 76 female devil is actually afraid of cold swords!

The two looked at each other and smiled, watching Wang Manchun stride out of the hall...

"I heard that Commander Ming and Director Wang are childhood sweethearts..."

"I almost became the eldest mistress of the Ming family..."

"Oh, that's lucky. I want to congratulate you..."

"Congratulations? Congratulations to me..."

"She's going to be the eldest mistress of the Ming family, you'll probably be kicked out..."

"Then I happen to set up another portal..."

"No."

"is it not OK?"

The two chatted while walking, and got into Rongchu's car.The driver is Liu Ah Si...

Rongchu and Mingcheng sat in the backseat before they really got down to business.Rong Chu's smile did not change, "The Han Dao you know has become a legend in Shanghai. The speed of this assassination caught people off guard."

Mingcheng smiled, "The military command training class was very powerful in the early days, and there were hidden dragons and crouching tigers inside."

"What do you say about Han Dao from the organization?" Rong Chu couldn't express how he felt about Han Dao, he always felt that this person hiding in the dark was inexplicably familiar, so he couldn't help but get closer, wondering who it was .

If the organization asked to do something to Han Dao, he thought he might refuse to carry out the task.

"Han Dao is our man."

Mingcheng didn't want to hide it from Rongchu, because of Rongchu's protection just now, he suddenly understood Ah Ci's choice.Rongchu is indeed a good big brother who loves his younger brother...

Ah Ci is willing to choose to die for Rongchu, and he is also willing to bet his wealth and life on Rongchu's devotion.

"..."

Rong Chu didn't know what to say, he had the illusion that the whole world had been turned upside down.However, after Mingcheng said this, he took it for granted.

Han Dao killed the Japanese and the lackeys with great joy, and has become a hero in the hearts of Shanghainese.Such a person should be theirs!

"Except for you, I didn't tell anyone, including Yuechun. This is a high-level secret of the organization and cannot be revealed for the time being." Mingcheng smiled and reached out to pat Rongchu on the shoulder.

Rong Chu glanced at Liu Ah Si in front of him, "Isn't Ah Cheng afraid of Ah Si leaking?"

Mingcheng smiled very clearly at this moment, "Ah Si is on the road, he understands the rules."

Liu Ahsi was taken aback, looking at Mingcheng who was smiling so nonchalantly from the rearview mirror... He couldn't believe his ears at all, why?

Obviously...

"A Si, do you want to drive the car to someone's shop?" Rong Chu sensed Liu A Si's anomaly, and couldn't help calling out a reminder when the car drove further and further away.

Liu Asi immediately turned the steering wheel to make the car run normally...

Mingcheng and Rongchu parted ways after lunch. Mingcheng rejected Rongchu's offer to send him to the municipal government office, and went to HSBC.

"Drive, go to the Rong Mansion." Rong Chu asked Liu Ah Si aloud as he looked at the street scene receding a little bit from the car window. "Why were you distracted just now? I don't believe it's because you saw Ah Cheng smiling so beautifully..."

Liu Ah Si had no intention of joking with Rong Chu at all, "Sir, Mr. Ming may be on the right track."

This point, when he saw Mingcheng, he felt it.What Liu Ahsi said now only confirmed his guess more.

"Can you tell if he's blue or red?"

"Sir, those who talk about rules are all young." Liu Ah Si also came from the Qing Gang, and he could hear that Minglou deliberately emphasized the word "rule" just now. "Besides, Mr. Ming's status is definitely not low."

"Understood." Rong Chu nodded, and for some reason, he thought of Mingcheng's sentence - I am very grateful to the Ming family for taking me in...

It is shelter, nothing else.

Adoption and shelter are just one letter difference, but worlds apart.

That means that when Mingcheng arrived at the Ming family, there was already someone who adopted him, and that person was not anyone from the Ming family.Then, there is only...

Green Gang.

"But isn't Mr. Ming the young master of the Ming family?" Liu Ahsi didn't understand, the Mingcheng he saw was definitely the young master from a big family, not anyone who was at the bottom of society.

"Eat well, dress well, and have a good manners, it doesn't necessarily mean that he is the young master." Rong Chu seems to have seen the Rong Chu who was at Rong's house more than two years ago... "You should keep this matter in your stomach." .”

Although Liu Ah Si didn't understand what Rong Chu said just now, he nodded quickly. "Don't worry, boss, I will never say what I shouldn't say."

"Have you gotten very close to Chairman Yang recently?" It was obviously a question, but Ming Lou used an affirmative sentence.There was a faint smile on his face, but Mingcheng's heart shuddered.

The expressionless Minglou was indeed terrified, but the smiling Minglou...

"Director Wang said it." Mingcheng smiled, "A document for cooperation with the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce needs to be signed by Chairman Yang himself. Afterwards, we had a meal together..."

"As far as I know, you guys ate more than one meal." Ming Lou clenched the word "one meal", "I'm afraid you ate more than one meal at his house."

Mingcheng was stunned, "..."

Seeing that Mingcheng didn't speak, Minglou became angry. "It's wartime now, do you need me to remind you to pay attention to your words and deeds? Do you know how much risk you will bring to the organization if you have frequent contact with the horizontal personnel of the organization? Or, you want to be named Yang instead of Ming! "

That last sentence speaks volumes.

Therefore, Mingcheng just took a deep look at Minglou from the rearview mirror, and drove the car in silence.

It doesn't matter what his surname is, he is an orphan, let alone Mingcheng can make a living, he is still a cat and a dog.What he never cared about was Ming's surname!

He really wanted to tell Minglou all these words, but seeing Minglou's determined eyes that seemed to hold him in the palm of his hand, he suddenly lost the desire to speak.

no need……

Really.

Maybe what you care about most is not what others care about.

In Minglou's eyes, he is just an object picked up by the Ming family, where to put it for what purpose, he doesn't need to think about it at all, it is completely manipulated by the master.

There are some things that the person who said them may think that they are nothing, but they reveal an essence that cannot be ignored - Mingcheng is a servant of the Ming family.

Seeing that Mingcheng didn't speak, Minglou felt even more uncomfortable holding his breath.He had no choice but to take the initiative to change the subject, "How is Mingtai doing now?"

Mingcheng's clear eyes rolled slightly, showing a respectful expression. "Don't worry, everything is fine."

Big brother... he can't say these two words now.

That's not his elder brother, that's Mingtai's.

And his eldest brother is not Minglou after all...

Suddenly, he missed that year's New Year's Eve, the person who raised him to his shoulders to watch the fireworks fill the sky...

"It's the Chinese New Year, and I don't know if Mingtai will go home." Minglou's voice brought Mingcheng back to his senses in an instant.

"Mingtai's temperament is not accurate, but most likely he will go back." Mingcheng smiled brightly, "Besides, you are back, and the family can finally have a reunion dinner."

"..." Minglou was stunned for a moment, and the apex of his heart was stabbed in pain.

You, family.

Although they are four separate words, the meaning of Ah Cheng couldn't be clearer...

"Ah Cheng..." Minglou called out, wanting to explain why he was angry just now.But the car had parked firmly in the front yard of the Ming Mansion, and Ah Cheng had already got out of the car to help him open the door.

Looking at Ah Cheng who bent to help him open the door, Ming Lou walked past him in silence...

Why does he feel that whatever he says or does is wrong? !

Several consecutive assassinations against Japan, and the terrorist plan carried out by the military command against high-level Japanese fighters in Shanghai have been declared a success.

And the cold knife has also become an invisible sharp blade hanging over Shanghai.

All the Japanese officials, political or economists, and spies who went to Shanghai were intimidated, and Genichi Shimizu, who was sent by Japan to the fifth theater to take over as the marshal to command operations, finally decided to bypass Shanghai and arrive at the theater because of the cold sword's crazy assassination .

Motoichi Shimizu arrived three full days later than originally planned. The Japanese army in the fifth war zone retreated steadily due to lack of command, and finally stayed in the third war zone to confront the Chinese Anti-Japanese Army.

Shanghai cheered happily for the phased victory of the fifth theater.The people of Shanghai spontaneously went to the old banyan tree in front of the City God, and hung up prayer talismans for the anonymous hero Han Dao.

On December 12, the Chongqing side published a commendation order for Han Dao through the National Daily.And Dai Li, the commander of the army, personally awarded the Cold Sword "Blue Sky and White Sun Medal".

Due to the uncertainty of Handao's whereabouts, Du Luning, the mentor of Handao and the second-level lieutenant general of the Kuomintang, conferred it on his behalf.

Gradually, Han Dao became a legend that appeared in Shanghai in December.

There is no sound when it comes, and there is no shadow when it goes.

No one knows if Han Dao is still lurking somewhere in Shanghai.They only know that having a cold knife is like having a guard in the dark...

On New Year's Eve, Minglou and Mingcheng bought a trunk full of fireworks.

Mingcheng and Minglou watched the fireworks burst into brilliant sparks in the night sky, and the two of them laughed easily.Ming Lou took out a brocade box from his pocket, "Ah Cheng, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year." Ah Cheng took it, "Thank you, brother."

"Aren't you going to open it and have a look?" Minglou smiled, the smile under the fireworks was gentle and tender.

Mingcheng opened the brocade box, and what he saw was a limited edition watch, which was the same brand as the one Minglou had been wearing all along, but the style was more novel and elegant.

"Why give me this?" Watches, ties, cuff buttons, and suits are Mingtai's favorites.

Minglou looked deeply at Mingcheng, his eyes were so dark that water could seep out. "I hope Ah Cheng will remember to go home on time no matter where he is."

Mingcheng's hand holding the brocade box suddenly tightened, he raised his eyes in a daze, and met Minglou's affectionate eyes...

"Big brother..."

He had never seen Minglou's eyes like this...

He didn't even know what kind of meaning this look had...

Are you going home?

So he can still regard the Ming family as his family?

When he thought this was just one of the places where he worked, Ming Lou told him so earnestly and affectionately... Can he be trusted?

Mingcheng was faintly moved, his consciousness was shouting - believe it again, just once!

"Do you two still want to come in for dinner?" Ming Jing stood behind him for a long time, seeing that the two of them didn't respond at all, he finally couldn't help calling them back.

"Elder Sister, Happy New Year." Minglou turned around and gave Mingjing a brilliant smile.

Ming Jing was stunned for a second, it was so similar!She almost thought it was a smile that only appeared on Ah Cheng's face just now... Since when did Minglou's smile be engraved with Ah Cheng's shadow?

"Happy New Year, big sister." Mingcheng's smile was even brighter after all.

Der Spiegel laughed out loud after being infected by them, "Happy New Year."

"Bring the red envelope." Minglou and Mingcheng said in unison, even their movements were exactly the same, as if they were two people inside and outside the mirror...

"How old are you!" Although Ming Jing said this, he still upheld the tradition and gave each of them a big red envelope.

Suddenly, a tall and straight figure stepped out of the darkness. "Sister! I'm back! Happy New Year!"

Mingtai picked up Mingjing and turned around several times, as excited as a child.

"Big Brother, Brother Ah Cheng, Happy New Year." Mingtai spread his hands towards the two, "Where is my red envelope! Hurry up and get it! Hurry up and get it!"

"You boy! I'm afraid of you..." Minglou took out a box from his pocket and put it in Mingtai's hand.

"It's as if you came back for this." Mingcheng also put a small box in Mingtai's hand.

Mingtai unwrapped Minglou's gift first, and when he saw the belt again, he straightened his face. "Brother, you can't change to something else! This is the same thing every year, are you annoying!"

Mingcheng smiled, "He wants to tie you down..."

Minglou smiled and said nothing.

Mingtai dismantled the gift from Mingcheng again, and when he opened it, it was the latest cufflinks.

The silver cufflinks are carved with flying eagles, and the eagle's eyes are inlaid with tiny blue diamonds...

"Brother Ah Cheng, you still have a good eye, I like it very much." Mingtai immediately changed the pair of cufflinks on his sleeve and replaced them with Mingcheng's gift.

"You! It's been like this since I was a child." Ming Jing cursed with a smile.

Rare, Ming family reunion.

In the past, the younger brothers were all outside, not in Shanghai, but this year they are very complete.Ming Jing happily let Ah Xiang sit at the dinner table, and everyone ate, drank and made a fuss, very happy.

When he was joking, he found a middle-aged woman standing at the door, with a few strands of white hair on her temples that were extremely eye-catching.

She was wearing a rough cotton padded jacket, and she stood stiffly and slowly at the door.Her gaze wandered over everyone, and finally she called out to Mingcheng inside, "Ah Cheng..."

Minglou could see that Mingcheng's hand holding the bowl was about to crush the bowl, because of the extreme forbearance of the bulging veins.He looked at Ming Jing, but only saw Ming Jing's dodging eyes.

"A-Cheng, Aunt Gui has suffered a lot outside these years, and she wrote a letter saying that she wants to rely on you." Ming Jing gently persuaded A-Cheng. She knew that A-Cheng was obedient and filial, so she would definitely understand her approach.

Mingtai felt the strange atmosphere, buried his head in the bowl and did not speak.

The sound of the bowl falling on the dining table is very soft, like a feather brushing against the tip of a person's heart.The atmosphere in this family was condensed because of Mingcheng's action...

Mingcheng got up silently, pushed away the seat, and went upstairs.

Without saying a word...

Back in his room, Mingcheng took off all the disguises, took out the watch that Minglou had just given him from his pocket, and those warm words still echoed in his ears...

How long has it been?

One hour?half an hour?

No, only 22 minutes...

Why can the timeliness of a person's words be so short?Is this what he decided to believe again?It really is too extravagant...

——I hope Ah Cheng will remember to go home on time no matter where he is.

go home……

Doesn't Minglou know?

Ah Cheng has no home, he has been a lonely ghost since he was born...

"Brother Ah Cheng, the Eldest Young Master is looking for you and asked you to go to his room." Ah Xiang's voice outside the door made Ming Cheng force back the tears that had reached his eyes.

He put the watch in the desk drawer, wiped his face, and it was that Mingcheng who could bear it for the sake of the overall situation... "I'll go right away."

Sitting down next to Minglou, it was rare to see Minglou pour him tea.

Minglou is such a person who knows how to play the card of warmth. His teacher once said that warmth is a double-edged sword. If it is used well, it will kill without blood.

Now Mingcheng feels that this sentence is perfect for Minglou.

"Brother, Ah Xiang said you were looking for me." When Mingcheng came in, he smiled slightly.I can't see it at all, just half of the emotion...

"Ah Cheng, the thing is like this." Minglou explained seriously, "Aunt Gui has written many letters to Eldest Sister in the past two years, saying that she really can't live in the countryside, so she wants to come back and come back to rely on you."

Mingcheng smiled, a rare cold smile. "Who am I to her? Yes, even though she adopted me back then, she almost tortured me to death. Can't it be considered even?"

"Ah Cheng, you can't calculate it like this..."

"Then how do you calculate it? You teach me, I'll listen." Mingcheng interrupted Minglou, his eyes were so bright that Minglou didn't dare to look at him.

"She did do a lot of wrong things in the past, but now she wants to come back and make up for it."

"I don't want to mention this person again. I don't want to hear any news about this person. I have nothing to do with this person. If there must be any relationship, it is that she wanted to torture and kill me 20 years ago." Mingcheng Ask him, "Have you ever considered my feelings when you asked her to come back..."

Mingcheng automatically tuned in, and laughed at himself, "Of course, you don't have to consider my feelings. In this family, I'm just a servant..."

"What are you talking about! Who took you as a servant!" Minglou was stung by those two words, "It was because I promised Aunt Gui to come back that I and Eldest Sister did not do it right. But Ah Cheng, you have to know that she didn't know what she was doing back then. Adopted you..."

"Brother, stop talking." Mingcheng interrupted Minglou, "I'm too excited, please let me calm down and think about it..."

"I hope you can think clearly, and you can't be ungrateful." Ming Lou seriously instructed.No matter how bad Aunt Gui is, after all, without her adoption, there would be no Ah Cheng today...

Ingratitude...is that what you most want to express?

Your kindness to me...

——A Cheng, you are too affectionate, it will hurt you sooner or later.

His teacher was right...

Mingcheng lit a cigarette, looked out the window at the occasional fireworks flickering in the night, his eyes were dim...

The kindness of the Ming family may only be repaid by using one's life one day in the future.As for the others, he cannot leave the Ming family now...

Because, he needs the status of servant of the Ming family.

On December 12, the military command issued an order to the Viper, the head of the intelligence station at Shanghai Railway Station, to blow up the Japanese special train "Fuji No. 30" via Shanghai.

"According to the investigation, the Fuji No. [-] special train is full of Japanese military officers and traitors, and there are no innocent people. The bombing plan is feasible." Mingcheng handed in the plan report, which was finally signed by Minglou.

Minglou didn't see anyone's name on the column of the person in charge of the operation, so he clicked on the blank space. "Why is it empty?"

"The person in charge of the specific actions should be appointed by you personally." Mingcheng answered Minglou's question seriously.He didn't write it because he didn't want Minglou to take the blame on him when he saw the word "poisonous scorpion" appearing on the plan.

It's fine if it's normal, if you fire him up to relieve his pressure, he won't have any complaints.Only now, he felt that he was under too much pressure!

Anyone, any word, even any sensitive word, will become the straw that crushes him...

He will collapse anytime and anywhere, and his endurance has reached the limit.

Minglou's hand holding the pen paused for a long time in the blank space. He was thinking a lot at the moment, and his writing would directly send Mingtai to the enemy's hinterland.And what he thinks about the most is Ah Cheng, Ah Cheng's cautiousness, courtesy, and even self-protection at this time...

Ah Cheng is like a child who is used to being injured. When he cannot avoid danger, he tries to curl himself up to avoid the festering wound...

"Did the military provide explosives?" Minglou handed the signed document to Mingcheng, and asked by the way.

"The explosives are in the West Street tailor shop, and the poisonous scorpion will pick them up according to the order." Mingcheng replied, "Also, Rose asked to meet with you and is still waiting for your reply."

"..." Rose is the only one who can know who Han Dao is, and there is nothing wrong with seeing her.But is it appropriate to meet now? "Tomorrow night, you book a secluded place, and I'll have a chat with her."

"Understood." Mingcheng agreed.

Seeing Mingcheng walking further and further away, Minglou finally couldn't hold back. "Ah Cheng."

Mingcheng turned around and smiled slightly, his clear eyes showed a peaceful smile.He asked Minglou, "Do you have any other orders?"

"What I said that day was a bit serious, so don't take it to heart. You know, I recently..." Minglou couldn't finish his explanation when the phone rang.

Under Minglou's gaze, Mingcheng stepped forward a few steps and picked up the receiver. "Hello...yes, Chief Ming is out...I will tell Chief Ming...goodbye."

"Who?"

"acquaintance."

Minglou glanced at the open door, raised his wrist to look at his watch. "It's almost time, let's get off work."

"There is news from the group that there is a copy of the Japanese army's strategic deployment plan for some cities in China on the Fuji No. [-] special train. The superiors instructed that the plan must be obtained before the special train leaves Shanghai." Ming Cheng drove steadily. , while repeating the hidden content of the Morse code in the phone call from Nightingale.

"That is to say, we need to steal this copy before blowing up the special train." Minglou said suddenly, lowering his head and thinking about the countermeasures. "That might be a good thing."

"How to say?" Mingcheng was puzzled.

Minglou smiled, "Mingtai can't stay in the military all the time, sooner or later we have to let him get in touch with our work. It's better to let people in the organization get in touch with him more while he's not in deep trouble. This kid Mingtai Sensitive, knowing how to choose at critical moments, he will find his position."

In Minglou's eyes, Mingtai is always the best no matter how much he messes around... Mingcheng wanted to laugh, but unfortunately he couldn't.

He admitted that he was very uncomfortable...

In Minglou's eyes, as long as Mingtai doesn't get into trouble for a day, he will praise Mingtai for being sensible and well-behaved.

As for him, Minglou's requirements can be described as harsh.

He is required to do his best in everything, but he will be reprimanded for anything that is not right.

This is the gap between a younger brother and a servant.

"Who do you plan to let contact with the young master?" Mingcheng thought a lot, but in fact, these thoughts only flashed in his mind, and then stayed in his heart permanently, leaving a deep mark on it.

"Doctor Su has a cousin who has just been transferred to the fourth group. I heard that she is very beautiful. Mingtai has liked beautiful girls since he was a child, so let her go, it will be easier to get close to her."

"Yes."

Minglou froze for a moment, he noticed that Mingcheng's title just now was strange. "Also, Mingtai is your younger brother, how many times have I told you not to call me young master, young master."

"En." Mingcheng complied, but he didn't take it seriously.

Although Mingtai was also adopted by the Ming family, Mingtai's mother was the benefactor of the Ming family siblings.And he Mingcheng was taken in by the Ming family, and his adoptive mother was just a servant of the Ming family.

Even if Mingtai regards him as an older brother, he will not only regard Mingtai as a younger brother...

The Mingtai team received an order from Shangfeng Viper to go to the West Street tailor shop to get explosives.But when Mingtai first arrived across the street, he saw people from the No. 76 operation group arresting people in the tailor shop.

Mingtai finally realized that the underground struggle is terrible.

He watched helplessly as those comrades were shot dead on the spot by the agents of No. 76... The bright red blood stained the streets of West Street, against the backdrop of the setting sun, it was as thick as leftover blood.

Mingtai and Yu Manli walked numbly through the street, and sent a message to their superiors when they returned to the photo studio.

After Mingcheng received the telegram from Nightingale, he immediately reported the situation to Minglou who was waiting for news of the action. "Brother, the West Street tailor shop was exposed, and all intelligence personnel were shot dead on the spot."

"..." Minglou's first thought was Mingtai. He was worried that if Mingtai... how would he explain to his elder sister?How to explain to Mingtai's dead mother?

"Fortunately, Mingtai and the others weren't there." Mingcheng spoke more and more slowly, because Minglou looked at him as if he wanted to eat people...

"Can we talk about things first?" Minglou heaved a sigh of relief, "Now, it is impossible to have explosives, and there are only three days left before the action. Except for the eldest sister, we can't get them in a short time. Enough explosives to blow up a special train."

"But big sister..." Lou could understand Mingcheng's unfinished words without explaining, he thought for a while. "Brother, why don't I get it. Maybe..."

"You? You just wait for me! You are not allowed to act without my order!" What Ming Lou was afraid of was that Ah Cheng would have an accident under his nose, and he would never allow Ah Cheng to do such a dangerous thing in person. "Okay, I'll give her an explanation for my eldest sister. There are so many mines in our family, just get some explosives."

Although Minglou said so, he still had no idea in his heart.

Mingjing's temper...Minglou pressed his aching head.

"Brother, although the Ming family mine also needs explosives, but there are so many explosives in a short period of time, the eldest sister will also use the contacts on the black market. What if..."

"Okay, don't remind me how difficult this matter is. In short, you are not allowed to meddle in the matter of explosives from now on, and be your secretary-general!" Minglou walked to him, gently He patted Mingcheng on the shoulder. "Ah Cheng, you can't take risks, you know?"

This is the first time Mingcheng has read "caring" from Minglou's eyes since returning to Shanghai.

It is as strong as the champion red that has been stored for decades...

It's just that he was tired, and he no longer had the mind to speculate on what was behind this concern, and what ulterior motives were involved.

"I listen to you, brother."

Since Ming Lou was "worried" about him, he might as well take this opportunity to take a break... Leaving aside whether Lou has some other purpose, he really needs to calm down now.

It is not as easy as imagined to convince Der Spiegel, especially Der Spiegel is still a red capitalist with faith.However, there may be no one in Minglou's life who he cannot persuade.

It is not an exaggeration to describe this man with a brilliant tongue.

Mingcheng was sitting in Minglou's study, holding the "History of Western Philosophy" and reading it seriously.He believed that Minglou was capable enough to persuade Mingjing...

"First is "Shuowen Jiezi" and then "History of Western Philosophy". When did you become interested in these?" Minglou persuaded Mingjing, and he was naturally in a good mood. He was happy to joke a little more with Mingcheng.

"Turn around casually to relieve boredom." Mingcheng glanced at the closed door, and asked Minglou after making sure that no one outside would hear them talking. "Eldest sister agrees?"

"Well, it took a lot of work, and I don't know if she understands what I said. Forget it, anyway, she agreed to get two boxes of explosives."

"Oh, that's good." Mingcheng smiled reassuringly, "Let's go, it's not a gentleman's job to keep a lady waiting for a long time."

Only then did Ming Lou remember that the family had persuaded an older sister, and there was another matter about roses... He was wearing the coat that Ah Cheng handed over, and asked. "Where did you book it?"

"The loft at No. 32, Little Stone Alley."

Minglou asked in confusion, "What place is that?"

"After the fall of Shanghai, the army was stationed at the latent location of the intelligence team in Shanghai. Later, due to the transfer of internal affairs, Rose and Yinhu of the team returned to Chongqing to accept new appointments. Rose requested that we meet there."

"She asked for it?" Ming Lou felt a little turmoil in his heart, "Maybe something big will happen, let's go!"

Loft at No. 32, Little Stone Alley.

Standing on this ancient bluestone arch bridge, you can see the blue floral sheets floating in the attic.Mingcheng didn't go in to listen to the conversation between Minglou and Yu Xiaojiang, but stood at the bridge, letting the moonlight surround him.

In a few days it will be the Lantern Festival, the moon is very bright...

Unfortunately, Mingcheng was a little absent-minded.

This was supposed to be the last hiding place of Ah Ci. If nothing happened, he and Yu Xiaojiang would spend a very peaceful time here... The so-called dilemma in the world is probably true.

"...According to Du Luning's speculation, you will be responsible for transmitting the codebook of the third war zone, so the dead time plan must be implemented. As for whether to use yours or the poisonous bee, Shangfeng has not yet finalized it." Yu Xiaojiang said the information he had, "In addition, Du Luning gave the news that there is a Japanese spy lurking beside you, code-named Lone Wolf. Please find this person as soon as possible and get rid of him."

Minglou's heart trembled, this was probably the real purpose of asking for a meeting. "By my side? Nothing else?" How could he find out who the lone wolf was with just such a piece of information.

"No more." Yu Xiaojiang shook his head, "Du Luning has an informant who has been lurking in the Japanese intelligence agency for a long time. In order to protect this person, the information is strictly controlled. That's why it can't be conveyed to you by telegram. The reason is because we can't guarantee whether this lone wolf will catch any wind."

Minglou nodded, "I will find out this person as soon as possible. After talking about the military command, let's talk about the organization. You are the spy of the second group, you should have seen Qingci."

Yu Xiaojiang smiled slightly, "Mr. Ming, Celadon is my direct leader, of course I have met."

Minglou smiled gently, "Is he still in Beiping?"

"Sorry, I can't disclose the whereabouts of the superior, and Qingci is directly responsible to Mr. Zhou, his whereabouts are the top secret of the party." Yu Xiaojiang's refusal is also reasonable in Minglou.

"What about the cold knife? Secretary Yu has worked with Du Luning for so many years, so he should know something about it." One doesn't know, but the other?

"As we all know, Han Dao is a student of Du Luning, a man of the hour as a military agent." Yu Xiaojiang really didn't know who Han Dao was, "Colonel Ming, I know little less about Han Dao than you do."

Minglou took a deep look at Yu Xiaojiang, "The more similarities there are between two people, the more it means that they have a close relationship, or...they are the same person at all."

The mystery of Celadon, its style of action, and its sudden departure from Shanghai to the north...
