[The Pretender Lou Cheng] Non-public Notes

Wang Manchun discovered Xiao Qin's body as scheduled, and under Zhu Huiyin's guidance, he connected the radio station on Scott Road with Mingtai, just like what Minglou Mingcheng had planned.

She ran to Minglou's office pretending to be relaxed and asked Minglou about a watch that had been left behind.Minglou asked Mingcheng to bury the watch next to Xiao Qin on purpose. At this time, Minglou pretended to be ignorant, and ordered Mingcheng to go home to Mingtai's room to check whether the watch was still there.

Looking at Minglou, Wang Manchun didn't feel any fake expression, and finally a big stone fell in his heart, and he secretly believed that Minglou had nothing to do with this matter.

This night is the time for the Mingtai team to act, and Minglou and Mingcheng don't know the specific action plan, but only Wang Tianfeng knows the whole plan.

The eldest sister Mingjing went to Suzhou to announce the good news, and Minglou and Mingcheng simply did not even return home.Mingcheng made a pot of tea, saying that the night was still long, so he asked Minglou to sleep in the office for a while.

Minglou picked up the porcelain cup and took a sip, and all of a sudden he was filled with troubled emotions. He shook his head and said to Mingcheng, "We won't be able to go home for a long time, and we will have the darkest period of time." to spend."

After Mingcheng heard this, he just lowered his eyes and sighed softly. He seemed to have already been mentally prepared, and instead asked Ming Loudao, "Can you stand it?"

Minglou was a little surprised and relieved. Mingcheng's first reaction was to be concerned about whether he could survive. He looked straight at Mingcheng, couldn't help the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, and said with emotion, "You used to ask Why do I stop asking now, it means that you have grown up." His eyes fell back into the teacup, and his voice dropped again, "Mingtai has come to this point, which is what I was most afraid of seeing when he entered the army. , because I know that if you want to win, sometimes you have to fill in the people you love the most. I would rather take his place now, rather than--" Minglou suddenly noticed that Mingcheng was injured He didn't know how much harm his sacrifice would bring to Mingcheng. Minglou's heart suddenly ached. He softened his tone, with a sense of helplessness and justification, and continued, "Maybe that's the only way. Only the eldest sister can forgive me, and I can feel better in my heart."

Mingcheng turned his stiff neck, and he even felt that he heard the sound of "click". He tried to swallow a few times before he could calmly say, "Fortunately, the eldest sister is not here. When she comes back, I hope she can survive." past."

It's not just the eldest sister who needs to survive?Mingcheng was also in torment. He was tormented by the thoughts that grew wildly like weeds in his heart and couldn't sleep.He would suddenly start to wonder if it was because he secretly hoped that Minglou would live, that's why he had the current result—they were going to lose Mingtai.

This idea is like a pervasive opportunist, lingering in Mingcheng's mind and heart for a long time.

Minglou leaned into the sofa, relaxed his neck and pillowed it on the back of the sofa, Mingcheng brought a thin blanket, and lightly covered him, although the movement was small, Minglou still opened his eyes suddenly.Mingcheng could clearly see that the whites of Minglou's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, he tucked up the blanket distressedly, and persuaded, "Brother, sleep for a while, I will watch the news outside."

Minglou turned his head and looked out the window. The sky had already started to turn white, and a new day would soon come. He reached out to hold Mingcheng's hand, and put his slightly cool cheek on the back of Mingcheng's ring-wearing hand , "Perhaps only when the Anti-Japanese War is won or... the moment of death comes, can I sleep peacefully."

Mingcheng gently stroked Minglou's hair with the other hand, and said in a low voice, "The war of resistance has not yet been won, even if death comes, how can we sleep peacefully?"

"That's right..." Minglou let go of Mingcheng's hand, and couldn't help but sigh.He leaned back on the sofa, tightened the blanket around him, and motioned to Mingcheng, "Go and find out the news."

"Okay." Mingcheng nodded and walked out.

Guo Qiyun and Yu Manli were martyred.

Mingcheng immediately informed Minglou of the news.He couldn't help but think of the action code name of Wang Tianfeng's plan - "Death Knell", for whom the death knell tolls.That's what it means.

Minglou had actually considered this situation. While he faintly felt that Wang Tianfeng's personality was likely to make such a plan, he kept thinking about it as if he was comforting himself. This plan is too cruel. will actually do it.

So when he heard the news, he was still able to maintain a trace of composure, but he couldn't restrain himself and stood up abruptly, angrily saying—"This lunatic!"

"What to do? The lunatic attacked viciously, what will happen next?" Mingcheng thought of Mingtai's situation, and his mind was in a mess for a while, unable to think calmly at all.

Minglou shook his head. Even though he was once a life-and-death partner, he was not sure what Wang Tianfeng would do. "No one can understand his layout."

"Then should we contact Mingtai for a transfer?" Mingcheng asked eagerly. Rescuing Mingtai is already a race against time.

"No!" Minglou immediately denied Mingcheng's plan, not wanting him to act recklessly behind his back again, "Mingtai is already in his plan now, once we intervene, his plan will be disrupted, and everything will be ruined." If you lose, those two people will also die in vain."

"Then can we just watch?!" Mingcheng thumped the table vigorously and made a dull sound. He pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around and was about to go out, "No, I can't let He also put Mingtai in!"

"I want to save him more than you!" Minglou roared in a low voice, the helplessness and pain revealed in it made Mingcheng stop in his tracks, and Minglou continued, "When the plan for the dead began, we They are all ready to sacrifice, although I want to restore Mingtai, but the situation has developed to the point where we are no longer under our control, we must follow Wang Tianfeng's plan and carry it out, understand?"

Mingcheng turned around, listened to Minglou's admonition with his head down like a child who has done something wrong, and then nodded.

"Now, think about what we should do next according to his plan. Once Mingtai is arrested, you and I will definitely be summoned by the Special High School. The only way to get rid of the suspicion is to help Wang Manchun sort out all the clues. You immediately Go to No. 76 and tell Wang Manchun——"Ming Lou is not as calm as he seems, his hidden panic eyes and uncontrollable trembling all betray him.

"Mingtai's watch is gone." Mingcheng took over the conversation.At this moment, he has calmed down, or he forced himself to calm down, at the moment when Minglou couldn't calm down.

Of the two of them, one will always bear some burdens for the other, and this person is often Minglou, but when Minglou cannot bear it alone, Mingcheng will never hide, and he also has burdens for Minglou. courage and strength.

"Yes, tell Zhu Huiyin at the same time to ask the landlord to come forward and identify Mingtai." Seeing Mingcheng's calmness, Minglou heaved a sigh of relief, and he tried his best to smooth his thoughts, "Fortunately, the elder sister is not at home now, but she must You have to hide it from her. After you are done, go home and bring some change of clothes here, and then tell Ah Xiang, tell her, let her tell the eldest sister, say—" Mentioning Mingjing, Minglou finally couldn't suppress it anymore He could not stop the trembling despite the choking in his voice, his eyes were flushed, even if he held his other wrist tightly with one hand, he couldn't stop shaking.

"Tell Eldest Sister, it means that the machine in Taiwan Flour Farm is malfunctioning, and he is looking for someone to repair the machine, so he can't come back for a few days. As for Eldest Brother, just say that you are going on a business trip to Nanjing, and go back to get a few changes of clothes." Ming Ming Cheng continued calmly, reaching out to hold Minglou's palm, trying to calm him down.

But the impact on Minglou was too small, he nodded silently.

"Then I'll go." Mingcheng said softly.

The moment Mingcheng brushed past Minglou's side, Minglou's left hand held Mingcheng's wrist tightly.

Mingcheng was stunned for a moment, but when he saw Minglou's trembling back that he was trying to suppress, the pain he felt far outweighed the pain from his wrist bone.

Minglou turned sideways, hugged Mingcheng into his arms, buried his face in Mingcheng's neck, and said in a muffled voice, "For a while, just for a short while."

[Extra episode - Yu Manli's death knell]

For some reason, Mingtai suddenly panicked.

He didn't want Yu Manli to leave, he always felt that if Manli stepped out of this door, she would disappear.

Yu Manli was still bragging mischievously to Guo Qiyun, "The information on me must be true, because I'm going to the third war zone." She said with a smile.

"If you can really reach the third war zone, then the password book on your body is real." Guo Qiyun's performance was much calmer than Yu Manli's.

"What if we can't make it?" Mingtai interrupted and asked.Guo Qiyun's words made him "thump" in his heart, and a bad feeling suddenly surged up.

"I can't make it..." Guo Qiyun checked the gun for the last time, the magazine being pushed made a crisp sound, he looked up at Mingtai, "Then you will lose half your life."

Does Guo Qiyun know something?Mingtai suddenly had such an idea, he faintly felt that this mission was like a trap, but he had to go to verify it.

"Manli, switch with Guo Qiyun." Mingtai almost made this decision hastily, but he didn't think it would have any impact on the task of "escorting the code book".

"What?" Yu Manli and Guo Qiyun looked at Mingtai in surprise at the same time.

"Let me tell you that the missions of the two of you should be changed! Adjutant Guo and I sent this code book to the third war zone." Mingtai took the microfilm in Manli's hand.

"But..." Yu Manli wanted to say something else, but she really couldn't find a reason why she was not in the same group as Mingtai. The order from her superiors only asked them to divide into two groups to escort the two codebooks, and did not specify the task. assign.

"I listen to the team leader." Guo Qiyun said.

Yu Manli looked at Guo Qiyun a little strangely, not quite understanding why Guo Qiyun accepted the sudden task change so quickly.

Guo Qiyun didn't respond to Yu Manli's suspicious eyes, but simply took the codebook from Mingtai's hand, and handed the codebook in his own hand to Yu Manli.

Yu Manli looked at Guo Qiyun and then at Mingtai, and finally took the microfilm hesitantly.

She reached out and tugged at Mingtai's sleeve, calling out in a low voice, "Mingtai..."

Seeing this, Guo Qiyun immediately said to Mingtai, "Leader, you should have something to say, then I'll wait for you in the outhouse first."

Mingtai nodded and replied, "Well, I'll be out in a while."

"By the way," Guo Qiyun, who was about to put on his backpack, suddenly remembered something. He put down his backpack, took out a piece of paper from the bottom of the backpack and handed it to Mingtai, "I was going to give it to you as a leaving gift. of."

"What?" Mingtai took it in his hand and saw that it was the wedding photo taken by him and Yu Manli earlier, and it was also the only photo they had together.

"The wedding photo of the two of you." Guo Qiyun replied.

Upon hearing this, Yu Manli quickly took the photo from Mingtai's hand, "Let me take a look."

Mingtai stretched out his head to look over, and couldn't help frowning, "What are you taking a picture of?" In the photo, Yu Manli's wedding dress hadn't been fastened yet, and she was twisting her body to ask Mingtai to help him. With a flustered look, he pointed at the camera to tell Guo Qiyun not to take pictures.But this scene happened to be left in the camera.

"This...that's pretty good..." Guo Qiyun defended gruffly, and turned to Yu Manli, "Manli, you, take a look."

Manli looked at the photo, and smiled affectionately and gently, "It's really well taken," she said.

Seeing Yu Manli's expression, Mingtai stretched his brows, and immediately felt that the photo was taken really well.

"Okay, keep it, this is the only one, I have already destroyed the negative." Guo Qiyun's tone was a little bit sad, and he put his backpack back on his back, looking at Yu Manli, "Manli," he said His voice became hoarse, "You will have to walk the rest of the way by yourself, take care all the way."

Guo Qiyun turned and walked to the door, he turned his back, Mingtai and Yu Manli couldn't see his expression.Guo Qiyun thought, this is fine, if Mingtai can't see Yu Manli... then he won't be so sad, maybe when that moment comes, Mingtai will still feel that Yu Manli's mission has been successfully completed .

After Guo Qiyun left the room and closed the door, Yu Manli was speechless instead.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and the silence quickly spread from the room. Yu Manli blinked and suddenly laughed.

"congratulations……"

"What?" Mingtai didn't react for a moment.

"I haven't congratulated you yet, you're engaged." Yu Manli continued.

Mingtai's expression was a bit complicated, he had been subconsciously avoiding this matter in front of Manli, perhaps because of the guilt he felt towards Manli that could not be erased in his heart.He didn't know what to answer, he lowered his head slightly to avoid Yu Manli's softly shining eyes.

"You don't have to worry about me, and you have nothing to do to me." As a life and death partner, Yu Manli saw through Mingtai's thoughts at once. Her gentleness was like water, but her affection was like a mountain, which made Mingtai feel like he was out of breath for a while. Out of breath, I just listened to the simple but infinitely charming voice and continued, "I was greedy in the first place, and it didn't belong to me in the first place. What right do I have to make you anxious. In fact, I should be happy, At least you still feel ashamed of me."

"No matter what time it is, you are my best comrade-in-arms, and we are eternal partners in life and death." Mingtai lowered his head, he felt that he couldn't look into Yu Manli's eyes and say these words.

"Hug me." Yu Manli's light voice was choked with sobs, "This journey will be difficult and unpredictable, I don't know..."

Mingtai couldn't bear it any longer, and hugged Yu Manli in his arms.

"Mingtai, I really love you, maybe I can only close my eyes..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Mingtai tightened his arms holding Yu Manli, interrupting her confession softly.

It's not that Mingtai doesn't understand Yu Manli's thoughts, there was always something in his heart that prevented him from accepting her calmly.But at this moment, he was holding Manli in his arms, both contented and apprehensive. This confession sounded like a farewell, which made him feel scared.

"Shh, don't say it. I'll save the rest when you come back to see me." Mingtai rubbed Yu Manli's petite head with his broad palm, and his soft voice was blowing in Yu Manli's ear like the evening wind.

Yu Manli couldn't help but let out a "puchi" laugh, she raised her palm-sized face, looked at Mingtai, and said with a smile, "It's agreed, wait for me to come back, even if you are married, you are not allowed to hide Me, I will go wherever you go!"

"It's a deal." Mingtai also laughed. He took out something from his jacket pocket and put it on Yu Manli's slender fingers.

Yu Manli lowered her head to take a closer look, and found that it was exactly the same as the prop ring they wore when performing the mission before.She looked at Mingtai with both surprise and doubt.

"Pre-departure gift. This is something I ordered from someone, not the prop ring." Mingtai flicked Yu Manli's raised forehead mischievously, watching her frowning and rubbing her blushing forehead , squinting his eyes and said with a smile, "This is yours, and no one can take it away."

Yu Manli looked at the ring on her hand, unable to move her eyes away.But the mission could not be delayed, she was ruthless, and said to Mingtai, "I'm leaving."

"Safe trip." Mingtai nodded, watching Yu Manli's back disappear outside the door.He suddenly had an urge to hold her, but in the end he didn't raise his hand.

When Yu Manli saw Wang Manchun standing behind Wang Tianfeng, her brain seemed to stop turning. She was a little confused. She didn't really like Wang Tianfeng. She knew exactly what kind of lunatic Wang Tianfeng was, but she never thought about it. Over Wang Tianfeng would be a traitor.However, before she could ask "why", Wang Tianfeng's bullet had already hit her in the chest.

The blood quickly swelled on the front of the clothes, and the bright red color covered the wound. The rapid loss of blood caused the lack of oxygen in the brain, and Yu Manli fell backwards.

She can still perceive the world vaguely, but she can't make any response.

She vaguely felt that Wang Tianfeng came to her side, as if there were two gunshots accompanied by it, but she didn't feel the dull pain of the bullets entering her body.She couldn't even be sure if this was a hallucination before she died, because her ears were already filled with all kinds of roars, and the memories were surging like a tsunami. She heard the kind voice of her adoptive father saying "come with me", she Hearing Mingtai's voice - "This is yours, no one can take it away".

Wang Tianfeng took away the microfilm clutched in Yu Manli's hand, and also noticed the emerald ring worn on Yu Manli's middle finger.

He knew it was a gift from Mingtai, because it was exactly the same as the prop ring in Juntong.He reached out to pick off the ring, and felt that Yu Manli's fingers were trying to hook back, but the force was so light that Wang Tianfeng straightened his finger with a little force and took off the ring.

He took the ring and the microfilm back to where Wang Manchun was standing in the distance, and gave the film to her.

"You don't actually have to kill her." Wang Manchun said with a smile, with only the cold and morbid pleasure in his eyes after seeing the murder.

"I can't face her." Wang Tianfeng said, walking towards the car parked behind.Seeing that Wang Manchun didn't move, he stopped and turned his head sideways and said, "Why, do you still want to collect her body? Let me remind you that the poisonous scorpion group and Yu Manli acted at the same time. If you don't rush over there, let them go." I'm not in a hurry with the poisonous scorpion."

Wang Manchun snorted, looked down at the microfilm in his hand, clenched it tightly, turned and walked towards the car.

"Evacuate!" She waved to several of her men.

Wang Manchun's target is only the "Poison Scorpion" Mingtai and the password book, and she doesn't really care about the rest, because the "Poison Scorpion" is the key to her success. If the "Poison Scorpion" escapes, then even if she catches the What shrimp soldiers and crab generals are also failed actions.More importantly, Liang Zhongchun must not let her get ahead of her.

She ordered her subordinates to rush to the ancient city of Chuansha quickly. Although the "poisonous scorpion" was not caught, they got another codebook in Guo Qiyun's hand.

After returning to No. 76, she ordered her men to go down to see if Yu Manli's body was still there, and her men reported back, "Director Wang, just as you left, Director Liang came back. I'm afraid they also got the news. He Take Yu Manli's body away."

Wang Manchun snorted disdainfully, and said triumphantly, "That's right, he can't just throw the corpse on the street like that, otherwise the neighbors in the neighborhood will definitely call the police early tomorrow morning, and it's his job to collect the corpse. But Yu Manli's only valuable We have already taken away everything, as for the corpse, let him take it away."

The next day, Wang Manchun got news that Liang Zhongchun didn't get any information about Manli, so he had to find a place to dispose of the body.

Wang Manchun looked at the emerald ring that Wang Tianfeng was playing with in his hand, and asked curiously, "What's the use of this?"

Wang Tianfeng smiled, looked at Wang Manchun and said in a low voice, "Didn't you want to catch poisonous scorpions, this will be of great help."

FIN.
