The heart of the pretender is sincere

Newspapers officially published the news that Wang Jingwei was going to hold a peace conference in Nanjing. Various senior officials of the new government and some Japanese political figures would attend.All of a sudden, there was an undercurrent of undercurrents from all parties in Shanghai, and they all wanted to know the first-hand information about the peace conference.Minglou is responsible for the security travel of the participants from the new Shanghai government to Nanjing, so Ah Cheng will be extra busy these days.

And Ah Cheng got the news during this busy time. Lingxi came to the new government office to look for him this morning, but the guard didn't let her in because he didn't know her. In the end, she had to ask the guard to talk about the eldest sister's business in Suzhou. Something went wrong, and she had to rush over to fix it right away.Ah Cheng didn't know the news until two o'clock in the afternoon. If it was really just a business matter, there was absolutely no need for Lingxi to come to him in such a hurry, there must be other things.Ah Cheng is starting to regret it now. He never thought that someone would go to Suzhou with his eldest sister, so he withdrew the man who followed his eldest sister early. He didn't expect that something really happened now.

Although Ming Lou was also very angry at Ah Cheng's assertion, but the matter had already happened and had to be resolved, because he was still in the government office at the moment, he restrained his anger and tried to lower his voice as much as possible, "You call home now and ask Ask Ah Xiang, did Lingxi leave any words in her haste to go out?"

In the end, Ah Cheng got important information from Ah Xiang, saying that this morning, a gentleman surnamed Chen called Lingxi at the Ming Mansion. Because Lingxi didn't want to talk to him, he asked Ah Xiang to lie that she was in Suzhou. Of course, Mr. Chen didn't believe it. He just clamored on the phone that he was also in Suzhou now and was about to catch the anti-Japanese activists for meritorious service and receive awards. Then he would come to propose marriage to her.Later, Ling Xi hurriedly left the house, and specifically asked Ah Xiang that if Ah Cheng called back to ask, just say that this Mr. Chen was the one who delivered the flowers yesterday, and that he was a small captain of Operation 76.

Now it is basically confirmed that what happened to the eldest sister in Suzhou is related to No. 76 and it is unrealistic to go to Suzhou now. After discussing with A Cheng, Ming Lou and A Cheng decided to go to No. 76 and wait for the rabbit.But before Minglou left, someone came in again saying that Section Chief Nantian had something to do with Chief Ming, so Minglou had to go to the Special Higher Class alone and asked Ah Cheng to go to No. 76 to find out.

***

At this time, Chen Liang, the captain of the No. 76 second action team, was very excited, because the underground arms trade in Suzhou, which he had been following for half a year, was finally closed, and he successfully caught the anti-Japanese elements, and among the anti-Japanese elements was a woman he was thinking about day and night. Li Lingxi, in the past, she was always by Chairman Ming's side, or she just stayed in Ming's mansion and didn't go out, making it impossible for him to ask her out for dinner, and she didn't accept anything from others, no matter if it was flowers It's better to throw out all the cheap and expensive jewelry. Now that she is in his hands, no matter whether there is any problem or not, this person will be in his pocket in the end. When he thinks that he might be able to show his face in front of the Japanese , can still get this woman, Chen Liang is very excited, and wants to quickly take them to the torture room for interrogation.

"Don't touch me!!" Lingxi shouted as she struggled to shake off Chen Liang's hand!

"I won't touch you, huh, after today you are mine, I just want to touch you, see how arrogant you are." Chen Liang squeezed Lingxi's chin and forced her to look at him. He likes Lingxi. It's been a long time, but he can't touch it with a finger. Now he thinks he has caught the handle, even if Minglou comes, there is nothing he can do.

"Let go of Lingxi, what are you talking about!" Ming Jing knew this Chen Liang, among Lingxi's many suitors, this Chen Liang was like a bandit, she stood sideways in front of Lingxi and said with a sneer , "You clearly know who we are, and you arrested us here on purpose. Who ordered you to do this? Could it be Wang Manchun or a political opponent of Minglou? You think that by arresting us here, Minglou can be defeated. Destroy our Ming family, I advise you to let us go quickly, or you won't know how you died."

Chen Liang laughed as if he had heard something ridiculous, and his expression looked very proud, "There is no one we can't catch on the 76th, and now the stolen goods are all captured, even if Minglou came in person, there is nothing he can do, he is afraid It’s hard to protect yourself.”

Ah Cheng, who had just arrived at No. 76, heard what Chen Liang said. He sneered and glanced at Liang Zhongchun beside him, then walked over quickly, pushed Chen Liang away and shouted loudly, "What are you doing! What are you doing!"

"You..." Chen Liang wanted to say something, but was stopped by Liang Zhongchun. Liang Zhongchun was about to die of anger when he heard what Chen Liang said. His eyes signaled Chen Liang to move away quickly. Although Chen Liang was unwilling, he He could only shake off his clothes resentfully and stand aside.

"Sister, Lingxi, what's the matter with you?"

Lingxi let it go when she saw A Chengxin. The chin pinched by Chen Liang was still aching, and tears were rolling in her eyes. She held back the tears and cried, "Brother A Cheng, we are fine."

Ah Cheng nodded slightly, he understood what Lingxi meant, and knew that he could play freely next.

"Ask them!!" Ming Jing is not as easy-talking as Lingxi, but she remembers that she and Lingxi just passed by that old antique shop in Suzhou and didn't go in at all. This Chen Liang must have had bad thoughts about Lingxi. Just caught them.

Ah Cheng held Lingxi's hand with one hand, and put the other around the elder sister's shoulder to comfort the two of them, while scanning the surroundings with his eyes, "Who will come out and explain to me what happened?!"

Chen Liang felt that it was stolen by someone and was disdained to explain it. He turned his head with a cold snort. Although the other gangsters didn't know Der Spiegel, Ah Cheng did. This Ah Cheng had a good relationship with Director Liang. Moreover, the new government's Chief Ming was behind him, and he didn't want to be this early bird. For a while, No. 76 compound became silent.

It was Liang Zhongchun who couldn't stand it anymore and asked someone to explain the situation, but it turned out that they didn't have any evidence to prove that Mingjing and Lingxi were the ones who bought the arms, and they even just passed by there. People didn't go in at all and didn't mean to go in.

Liang Zhongchun wanted to finish it. If this matter was put on an ordinary person, he would be arrested if he had no evidence. But now Ming Jing and Li Lingxi are being arrested. He feels a headache, and a Ming mirror is enough for him. That's right, plus an unidentified Li Lingxi, the last time he sent someone to check the color photos, there is no clue yet. Now he is secretly scolding these pig teammates in his heart, and he personally asked Chen Liang to take the handcuffs. The key accompanied the smiling face and wanted to release it for the two of them, "The flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple, we can't hurt our peace, Chairman Ming is really sorry, it was a misunderstanding or a misunderstanding."

It's just that Ming Jing didn't want Liang Zhongchun to touch them, so Liang Zhongchun had to give the key to Cheng, who uncuffed the two men's handcuffs and massaged their wrists respectively.With such an obvious trap, Ah Cheng naturally wouldn't let it go so easily. He comforted the two of them, and walked up to Chen Liang with handcuffs, "You arrested my elder sister and younger sister."

"We are performing official duties." Chen Liang was not afraid of death and still had a bad attitude. He reached out to catch the handcuffs handed over by Ah Cheng, but he didn't want Ah Cheng to let go, and the handcuffs fell to the ground.

Ah Cheng clenched his fist and hit Chen Liang directly in the face, and beat up those who participated in the arrest by the way. The thugs on No. 76 were just a bunch of rabble and naturally they were not Ah Cheng's opponents. In the middle of Chen Liang's counterattack, Ah Cheng easily took away the weapon and pointed it at Chen Liang's own temple.

"Ah Cheng! Don't be impulsive!"

"Ah Cheng!" Liang Zhongchun and Ming Jing screamed to stop at the same time. Liang Zhongchun was worried that Ah Cheng would really kill Chen Liang, but Ming Jing didn't want Ah Cheng to kill Chen Liang on the 76th and cause trouble.

"Director Liang, today is for your sake, you can explain the rest to my elder brother yourself." Ah Cheng threw the weapon to Liang Zhongchun, turned around, supported Ming Jing and led Ling Xi swaggeringly out Gate 76.

The sky began to rain lightly. Wang Manchun actually came a long time ago but just stood behind silently. Looking at the backs of the three of them walking away, she sarcastically said, "Director Liang, you are so powerful, you dare to go without evidence. Grab the mirror, this is to want to be on top."

"I didn't!" At this moment, Liang Zhongchun really had no love in his life, he had to think hard about how to explain this matter to Chief Ming.

"I believe you, but see if my elder brother believes you or not." Wang Manchun continued to sneer, and Ming Jing said that he passed by and didn't go into the antique shop, but the timing was too good, and he could catch it normally, but Knowing Ming Jing's identity, Chen Liang went to arrest them, probably because of his petty thoughts about that Li Lingxi.

***

When Minglou returned to the Ming mansion, he saw the elder sister rubbing medicine on Lingxi's chin. Wang Manchun had already called him to tell him what had happened. He came back now to confirm their safety and to confirm with them again. After looking at what happened, his eyes darkened when he saw the extremely obvious two finger prints on Lingxi's chin, but fortunately there was no major injury.

"What's going on today?" Ming Lou sat on the sofa with a bad expression.

Ming Jing went to buy explosives, naturally he was guilty and couldn't open his mouth. Ah Cheng didn't protect the eldest sister, and she was also guilty, and she lowered her head and didn't speak. Lingxi's jaw still hurts. It's not convenient to speak after taking the medicine. She is just glad that she is okay. Ah Cheng understood what she meant, so the whole living room was eerily quiet.

"Speak!" Facing the silence of the room, Minglou was even more angry. Such a big thing happened at home, and he still needed Wang Manchun to call to tell him what happened. Minglou still told him at Ming's house. Forget it, these two little ones should be dragged to the small ancestral hall to have a family law.

The fact that Minglou served in the new government was a thorn in Mingjing's heart, and that Chen Liang hurt Lingxi, and the mark on his chin would take a few days to disappear. Now that his attitude is so bad, Mingjing's anger is also When she came up, she was very angry even though she was unreasonable, "Why are you so fierce? Isn't No. 76 under your control? Your subordinates covet Lingxi and want to usurp your position. You don't know it. What do we say."

Ming Lou was at a loss for words for a while, didn't he just know this now, if he knew there was a person like Chen Liang, why would he need to take action? Ah Cheng could have dealt with this person.

Looking at the tense look, Lingxi knew that the eldest sister must not be able to communicate properly at the moment, so she endured the pain in her jaw, "Brother, I'm sorry, today's incident may be caused by me."

Minglou didn't want to quarrel with the eldest sister, and knew that his attitude was not very good, so he tried his best to make himself appear gentle, "Then you talk about it first."

Lingxi deliberated and told about Chen Liang's relationship with her, but it was just that Chen Liang had seen her once somewhere, and she chased after her, "I know that my eldest sister went to the black market in Suzhou to buy explosives." , It’s nothing at all, just to avoid some cumbersome procedures. That old antique shop is also a shop with a good reputation on the black market. I called to show off. I was not sure if the anti-Japanese element he said was about to be caught was the eldest sister, so I went to the government office to ask Brother Ah Cheng to confirm, but the guard at the door refused to let me in, so I had to ask the guard to bring it. Let’s go to Suzhou first and then talk about it.”

Lingxi knew that this statement was full of loopholes, so why did you immediately think of the elder sister when Chen Liang said that he had arrested the anti-Japanese elements? It's just that she helped Minglou and Ah Cheng a little, and she has some understanding of their identities. It was tacit understanding.So if Lingxi thinks there is a loophole, let it be. Anyway, the elder sister will explain it to the elder brother herself.

"In Suzhou, I stopped my eldest sister at a place far away from the entrance of an old antique shop. I stopped her at a good time. I couldn't tell that she was going into that shop. We passed by in the name of shopping. That antique shop, and the people at No. 76 who were guarding there rushed up and took me and my eldest sister back to Shanghai, and then we met Brother Ah Cheng at No. 76."

These words were consistent with what Wang Manchun told him. Minglou finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least he was not caught on the bright side. He looked at Mingjing and said earnestly, "Sister, can you do things like this first in the future?" Discuss with me first."

"What are you discussing? I have to discuss with you if I buy a product. Does it mean that I have to report everything to you? Otherwise, you should send someone to monitor me every day!" I can't accept reprimanding advice from my younger brother.

"It's true that we need to arrange people to be by Eldest Sister's side. Ah Cheng, go pick some suitable people and follow Eldest Sister from now on." Minglou pretended not to understand the meaning of Ming Jing's words, and took the opportunity to install people openly.

"Hey, what do you mean? You actually sent someone to watch me?!"

"It's not monitoring, it's helping."

Ming Lou and Ming Jing quarreled over surveillance and assistance, and later they quarreled over the evidence for the arrest of No. 76 and Chief Ming's arrogance. Lingxi and Ah Cheng looked at each other and acted in unison. Quietly shrunk back to the sofa, trying to reduce her sense of existence to reduce the possibility of being accidentally injured, she had already said what should be said, and the next thing to do was out of her control.

Ming Jing has always relied on power to overwhelm people, and she really can't quarrel with Minglou in a serious quarrel, "Sir Ming, you are so majestic, don't take it out on your family members, okay, if you have the ability, you can take it out on the person on the 76th, that Chen Liang is Coveting Lingxi, and trying to usurp the throne for your assets, saying that I am an anti-Japanese element, can No. 76 produce evidence?!"

"Okay, I'm going to No. 76 now." Minglou's anger also rose, and he turned and went out without putting on his coat after leaving such a sentence.

Ming Jing was stunned, "He, what are you doing here?!" She was just talking out of anger, and didn't ask him to really go to No. 76 to vent her anger!

"He went to No. 76 to vent his anger on you." Ah Cheng said weakly.

"Oh...then why are you still sitting here, hurry up and watch him, and don't let him cause trouble!" Ming Jing, who had been arguing with Ming Lou just now, started to worry about his younger brother again Yes, she felt that it was just like what Lingxi usually said, it was a big injustice!

***

After dinner, Ah Cheng knocked on Lingxi's door with a cup of warm milk. After a long day of trouble today, the matter finally came to an end. It's just that Lingxi didn't take a few mouthfuls of dinner and seemed not too emotional. Ah Cheng Still decided to see her.

"Lingxi, are you asleep?"

The door opened soon, and Lingxi appeared in front of him neatly dressed, her palm-sized face was somewhat covered by her long hair, but it could be seen that her complexion was still a little pale, Ah Cheng thought that he had come to the right place.

"What's the matter with you?"

"May I come inside."

Lingxi didn't speak, but moved sideways to make way for Ah Cheng and led him to sit down on the small sofa at the end of the bed, Ah Cheng handed her the milk in his hand, "Drink some hot milk before going to bed, it will help you sleep. "

"Thank you." Lingxi took a sip of the milk and put it on the small table. She got up and wanted to pour a glass of water for Ah Cheng, but he stopped her.

"Lingxi, you don't need to pour me water, I just came to talk to you and leave." Ah Cheng held Lingxi's hand in his palm, his fingers were still slender but cold, "That Chen Liang has been The elder brother has completely solved it, and he will not come to harass you in the future."

"Totally...solved?!" Lingxi froze for a moment and suddenly thought of something, she looked at Ah Cheng, was it the one she wanted to solve completely?

Ah Cheng nodded silently, "I'm not here to tell you about this person today, I'm here to ask you, did today's incident scare you?"

Lingxi knew that Ah Cheng should have seen her inner anxiety and uneasiness, so she came here specially to comfort her. She lowered her head and didn't want Ah Cheng to see her current appearance, "Thank you, brother Ah Cheng, I'm fine It's just a little hypocritical, just wait for me to adjust, and I'll be fine tomorrow."

Ah Cheng took Lingxi's other hand into his, "People are afraid, fear is not hypocritical, like me, I am very scared today, afraid that we will miscalculate, afraid that I will not make it in time , afraid that you and eldest sister will be in danger."

Lingxi wants to say that she has been taken care of by her eldest sister for the past two years. Even in such a war-torn era, she has never personally experienced any dangerous state, so that she seems to have forgotten the death two years ago. Now she felt the fear of death again, and those memories that she had deliberately forgotten in her mind were turned out, the devastated and ruined walls in Nanjing, the howling north wind and the bloody smell all over the mountains and plains, all the memories moved towards She rushed over, which made her a little unbearable for a while, "Brother Ah Cheng, can I... hug you..."

The girl he loves is seeking comfort from himself, and Ah Cheng naturally has nothing to disagree with. He sits closer and pulls the girl into his arms, with one arm around her slender waist and the other hand stroking the top of her hair, feeling Watching her tense body slowly relax in his arms, trembling hands looped around his waist bit by bit, and finally hugged her tightly.

Lingxi buried her face in Ah Cheng's shoulder, her tears fell uncontrollably. Two years ago she held back her tears, and she held back her tears this afternoon, and now she feels that she can't hold back , she bit her lip to keep herself from crying, she thought she was just vulnerable for a while, and she would stop after a while.

Ah Cheng put his hand on Lingxi's back, and ran down her long hair to give her some comfort. He could feel the moisture on his shoulders. This girl who grew up in a honey pot was surrounded by flowers and applause , Thinking about it, it is rare to encounter such a situation, and it is normal to be unable to accept it for a while and have fear.Ah Cheng is very glad that he came today, otherwise at her level, there would be no one else to comfort and enlighten her, and I don't know how long it would take to digest by herself.

Lingxi felt that she had been crying for half an hour. After crying, her mood improved a lot, but now she was a little ashamed to see others. Ah Cheng's shoulders were already wet, she shrunk her nose and lowered her head I didn't dare to look at him, "I'm sorry, I made your clothes dirty."

"The clothes are fine. If I can do something for you, it's the right destination for the clothes. And if the left side is wet, the right side will still be there." Ah Cheng smiled and picked up the milk on the small table and handed it to her. It's cold but it's better than nothing, "Drink a little, you've been crying for so long and I'm worried you'll be dehydrated."

Lingxi took the milk and took a sip, and found that the cold milk had a faint fishy smell, she shook her head and returned the cup to Ah Cheng, Ah Cheng sighed and put the cup back on the small table, took the handkerchief Come out and wipe the tears on her face, "Now you not only owe me a date, but also owe me a dress."

Lingxi disliked this dress a little, "Your dress is so hard, it hurts my face, it should be changed long ago."

Ah Cheng smiled and touched Lingxi's head, "Miss Li, this is a new dress for me. I picked it out for you for an hour last night. It is the most expensive item in my closet. It is the first time I wear it today. How about you?" Still too tough."

"How expensive it is, I can't afford it if it's too expensive."

"Then you accompany me to buy another one, you don't need to pay for it."

"That's fine. In fact, I was really scared today. I have already thought about my 108 ways to die."

"You have only one life, and there are 108 ways to die. You think too much."

"But it's really scary..."
