The heart of the pretender is sincere

Chapter 52 The Bell Ringer

Ah Cheng was still thinking about why Ling Xi was so clingy this morning, when he got up, he hugged him for a long time, kissing and hugging him non-stop, acting like a baby, he used to do this kind of thing and was disgusted by her, Qi At first he thought it was Lingxi who came to make up for it knowing that she was too busy and neglected him during this time, but now seeing the content in the newspaper combined with the telegram he received and her situation at the pier last night, it was obviously not to make up for it. A guilty conscience came to bribe.

He took the newspaper into his eldest brother's office, "The ship just sailed out of the warehouse at Wusongkou Wharf and there was an explosion. The explosion was not large and no one was injured. It's just that all the goods in the warehouse were gone. The probability of this is Mingtai did it, but he will definitely not admit it, because the boat has already been ferried to Area B before it happened."

"Leave yourself completely alone, this kid is really smart!" Minglou was both angry and somewhat relieved about Mingtai's actions. He knew about the smuggling by the military command, but for the better He can only turn a blind eye to carry out the work, and now Mingtai can be regarded as completing for him what he always wanted to do but couldn't do!

"Mingtai knew about this a long time ago, and I thought he had really endured it since he didn't have an attack. I didn't expect it to be the opium waiting for this ship!" Ah Cheng recalled, it seemed that Mingtai had been suffering since Nantian's death. He has always been very quiet, but now it seems that he is saving up just to wait for the day when it will explode.

Minglou laughed and shook his head, "It's not that you don't know what kind of character he is, anyone can bear it but he is the least able to bear it! Didn't Chongqing ask us for his head?!"

When it comes to the issue of accountability, Ah Cheng is a bit confused, "That's not just to order the Shanghai station to conduct a strict investigation. The person in charge of Area B has already gone to Chongqing to report on his work, and I am afraid that he will never return."

Minglou's head started to hurt again, and the brothers and sisters in the family didn't have any fuel-efficient lamps. He rubbed his temples, "Don't you have any good news to tell me?"

Fortunately, he hasn't finished the bad news yet!Now the eldest brother wants to hear the good news, Ah Cheng pursed his lips and searched his stomach, and finally came up with some good news, "Uncle Li told me that the shipment of grain originally assembled by eldest sister and Uncle Rong was actually delivered later than originally planned. [-]% more than planned."

Now that the war in Changsha is tight and there is a shortage of food and grass, a few patriotic businessmen took the lead to gather a batch of food and transport it there, and the big ones here are the eldest sister Ming Jing and Ling Shu's father. Uncle Li is only responsible for the counting and acceptance work, so he knows There are many.

"Where did the excess come from?" Minglou was a little surprised. Although the grain management is not as strict as Western medicine these days, many lands have been abandoned after years of war. The grain for this boat was spent by the eldest sister and father-in-law. You only got strength, how much more?

"The shipment of opium that fell into the sea last night was originally hidden in the grain pile." Ah Cheng raised his eyebrows and clicked.

"Mingtai did it?" Minglou couldn't believe it, is Mingtai such a meticulous person? "He didn't just set fire to the opium ship. I think he has used all his care. He still knows how to transport the grain first?"

"It's Lingxi! Eldest sister and Uncle Rong are going to collect food. Lingxi knows about it. She has also handled it, and Mingtai is going to blow up the ship. It's not convenient for him to discuss with us, so Lingxi has been very secretive these days. Ming My family has a wide range of businesses but there is no such thing as tea. How could it be such a coincidence that Liang Zhongchun’s opium boat arrived at 09:30 last night and the elder sister’s tea boat arrived at [-] o’clock, and she went to the pier yesterday to separate from me without a driver. I drove there by myself in order to come back with me and leave the car at the pier. I left someone there to watch. In the middle of the night, Mingtai took Yu Manli and drove the car into the flour mill. I didn't find workers until early this morning. Bring the car back."

The more he talked about Ah Cheng's mouth, the bigger the corners of his mouth became, and his heart became more proud. His wife is so smart!

"You seem very pleased?" Young Master Ming has always been elegant and self-possessed, but now seeing Ah Cheng's complacent look, he couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Ah Cheng nodded as if it was a matter of course, "Of course I am pleased, I am naturally happy that my daughter-in-law is so smart."

"You should be more cautious." Minglou also laughed, which is barely good news, at least it is not wasted, "Lingxi guessed your identity so well that you only need to have clear evidence, do you really think that She is a silly girl, she is just willing to hold back her edge in front of you and stand behind you. In terms of intelligence, our four siblings combined can't compare to her. Kindness, just lack of life experience!"

"I know." Ah Cheng nodded. Of course he knew that Lingxi had done a lot for him, so he would work harder to love her. He hoped that Lingxi could keep this innocence and kindness forever. He was the only one who had bloody things. People do enough!

Minglou understood Ah Cheng's meaning at a glance. Why didn't he hope that the children in the family could maintain their innocent temperament, and they could live as they wanted with them in front of them, but they were born in this troubled world and couldn't help themselves!

The more Minglou thinks about it, the more he feels that Lingxi and Mingtai are working together to make things happen, which makes him itch and wants to beat them up, "These two little ones are becoming more and more lawless, it seems that we have to find a way It's better to be detained! Especially Lingxi, otherwise the plan may really be ruined!"

Speaking of the plan, Ah Cheng's mood suddenly became heavy, and he put all the forged documents in the flour mill in Mingtai before he could take a breath, "There is another news. After receiving the telegram from above, the dead time plan was officially launched. , the death knell is about to ring, and the bell ringer is on his way!"

***

Regarding being kidnapped, Lingxi has always thought that this should only happen in TV dramas, but now that it really happened to her, she only feels that her neck hurts and her hands hurt, as expected, she has lived too comfortably recently, and in the future You still have to be more vigilant!

At this time, Lingxi was bound hands and feet and thrown in a small room. Judging from the decoration of the room, it should be a rest room of a casino. At first, she observed carefully for fear of being discovered, but her movements became louder and louder later. It got louder and louder, but no one came and even yelled a few times, but no one paid attention to her, so she boldly moved to the window and carefully scratched a piece of glass on the window with the diamond ring on her hand.

Originally, she was just passing by, and helped Mingtai get the necklace that was left in the flour mill to give Cheng Jinyun as an engagement gift, but she saw that man just after entering the flour mill, and she met him once more than a year ago and chatted with him twice Lingxi remembered that he said at that time that his name was Wang Chengdong and that he was entrusted by their boss Dai to come and see her.

Yu Manli and Guo Qiyun Lingxi of the flour mill knew each other well. Mingtai, the manager of the flour mill, was a hands-off shopkeeper. Lingxi came forward to communicate with the two of them. When she met Wang Chengdong, Yu Manli And Guo Qiyun was also there. Although she was curious about Wang Chengdong's appearance, she never thought about the danger. After all, the flour mill is her own, and she raised her hand to say hello to him. She was knocked unconscious by the speed of her reaction.

The kidnapping was not done seriously. Lingxi rubbed her hands on the glass a few times before the rope broke. She guessed that Wang Chengdong didn't want her life, but only found out after she opened the door of this room and walked out that Wang Chengdong Sitting at a huge gaming table watching her.

"Boss Dai asked you to arrest me? Or am I just a scapegoat who is actually looking for my elder brother?" Lingxi sat opposite Wang Chengdong. She didn't know who Boss Dai was before. The identity was naturally guessed.

"Young girl is not bad. You can still be so calm at the moment. It's a pity that you were not arrested and sent to the military academy. Otherwise, it would be a great weapon to train you with your talent and appearance."

This is the second time for Wang Tianfeng to see this girl. Whether she has long hair before or short hair now, she is still so radiant and glamorous, and she is a little more calm and bookish than Yu Manli. I knew that this was a lady of everyone. If she could be sent to the big Shanghai ballroom to be a dancer and singer or something, it would definitely attract countless men, and I couldn't get any information I wanted!

Lingxi sneered and didn't want to talk to him, thinking she didn't know what he was thinking, and wanted her to go to the ballroom to be a dancer. Sure enough, no matter what the background was, even a noble reason like serving the country couldn't cover up the fact that those self-righteous men couldn't go Learn to respect the truth about women.

"Hey, the little girl is angry! How do you feel when you and Mingtai teamed up to blow up a boatload of opium? Are you happy?!" Wang Tianfeng was cheerful one second before, and the veins on his neck popped up the next second. The scorching eyes were so sharp that they almost burned Ling Xi through, "Do you think that no one will know what you have done? Have you thought about the consequences of doing so? Do you think Minglou can keep the two of you?!"

Lingxi was a little surprised that Wang Chengdong would know about this, but if he could say it face-to-face, it would prove that it was all right, otherwise he would not let her run out so easily without stopping her, "I'm a little curious, Mr. Wang or my eldest brother, who is of a higher rank?"

Wang Tianfeng was taken aback for a moment, he thought that her reaction might be fear or sternness, but he never thought that she could ask him a seemingly irrelevant question so calmly and with a smile on her face. He looked at the girl in front of him carefully and found that she Except for the initial surprise, I really didn't have any fear at all.

"I'm on the same level as Minglou, but his status in Shanghai is higher than mine in Hunan." Wang Tianfeng replied truthfully, and then asked, "I'm really curious, girl, are you not afraid at all? "

"Why should you be afraid? I'm just a commoner. It's your mission to protect us as soldiers. Besides, I haven't done anything. Why do you want my elder brother to protect me? Or is it that Mr. Wang is not as good as my elder brother?" Jealous of my big brother and taking out my anger on a little girl?"

Wang Tianfeng laughed angrily at this little girl, as expected of the Ming family, "Sharp teeth!"

Lingxi responded with a smile, "Thank you for the compliment."

"You talk about a big brother, do you know that Minglou sent me a telegram asking me to check your details the first time he knew you existed? Your husband Mingcheng was the first time you and Mingjing were in danger at the same time. What I want is to save his eldest sister first, and you are the one who was abandoned!"

Wang Tianfeng suddenly had some evil tastes. He wanted to see how united the Ming family, which has always been united, was in the face of life and death. Maybe this little girl was right. He was just jealous of Minglou, jealous that he had such a good family and jealous that he had a wife. There is a son, but he himself is just a person from the beginning to the end.

Before Lingxi could answer Wang Chengdong's question, the door was suddenly opened, and she saw her eldest brother bring Ah Cheng in and Guo Qiyun was at the end.

Ah Cheng walked up to Lingxi with a feeling of apprehension. He heard what Wang Tianfeng said. This was a secret he had always buried in his heart. He never dared to tell her. He reached out to hold Lingxi's hand but didn't want to. Being avoided by her, Ah Cheng's heart ached. He wanted to explain something but found that he was completely unable to refute it, because this was indeed something he had done before.

"Lingxi...I..."
