A different kind of Lou Chun - "The Pretender" colleague

When Ah Cheng entered the room, Minglou was on the phone.Ah Cheng waited for him to put down the receiver, and asked, "How is it? Did you hear it?"

"It's about as far as you know."

Minglou looked solemn: "This traitor is a member of the intelligence team of the Shanghai Underground Party. The Japanese Communist Party/Communist/Party/members lurking in the special high class are going to shoot him dead in order to prevent the Shanghai Underground Party from suffering losses."

"In the end, I didn't kill him, and I sacrificed myself."

Minglou nodded, and said with great pain: "But the incident happened suddenly, he missed the shot, and only one eye was blinded."

"Where's the traitor? What's going on now?"

"He was placed in the advanced ward of the Japanese Army Hospital by Yoko Nantian. It is said that the injury is very serious and has been infected. If he is not treated in time, his life will be in danger. Therefore, the Japanese are doing their best to rescue him."

"I know this traitor. His name is Xu He, and he studied at the Frunze Military Communication School in Leningrad. I am not in the same period as him, but we met once."

Minglou pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "But there is one thing I don't understand. This traitor's rank is not high. In terms of importance, the Japanese Communist Party lurking in the super high class should understand their mission and value. Even if it's too late to pass on The loss caused by the letter to us is limited. Why did he have to give up his life to silence him?"

"Brother means..."

"This Xu He must know something else, more important things. Go and check his file immediately, as well as the situation of the Japanese Communist Party, and tell me immediately if you have any news."

"Understood." Ah Cheng responded, and said, "I'll arrange an action team to execute him."

"Of course he must be executed, but he can't act rashly. The Japanese know that his identity is very important, and he was assassinated again. He was placed in the most closely guarded area by the Japanese military police to prevent us from attacking. You arrange his on and off line Evacuate immediately. We will arrange the execution plan."

"Yes."

Ah Cheng followed Minglou to the sofa and sat down, then said: "Also, Snow Leopard sent a message: Lone Wolf is at Ming's house, HSBC 231."

"It's really Aunt Gui." Minglou sighed, "I didn't expect the story of the farmer and the snake to repeat itself to us."

"I shouldn't have been kind enough to keep her in the first place! But who would have thought that her identity would change so much, from an ordinary woman to a Japanese spy who hides so deeply. Even if I get confirmation now , and still find it incredible.”

"Fortunately, the news about Snow Leopard came in a timely manner, and she didn't reveal too many flaws in front of her. However, she discovered the bank safe of eldest sister..." Minglou stopped and thought for a while when he said this.

"I'm going to inform Uncle Li that this safe can no longer be used."

"No, we can use this safe to show that the lone wolf's intelligence is wrong."

"Brother, do you want to?"

"Let them stare for a while, and then we will arrange a play."

Minglou replied: "The current priority is to deal with that traitor."

"Then, do you want to ask Snow Leopard to see if she knows more about it?"

"Okay. I'll go directly to her tomorrow and ask her face to face."

"She happened to call me today and said that we would have coffee together when you were not busy, as if she had something to say."

"Could it be this matter?" Minglou asked.

Ah Cheng thought about it, shook his head and said, "Hearing her tone, it doesn't sound like an urgent matter. It's more like a private matter."

"Private matter?" Ming Lou was a little strange: "What private matter?"

"You'll know when you go." Ah Cheng acted like he had nothing to do with him: "I don't care about your affairs."

In the afternoon, the sky was gloomy.

An old and affectionate Spanish love song is playing in the coffee shop facing the street.As if moved by the lingering and sad melody, Wang Manchun's usually indifferent eyes also showed a touch of sadness.

"Sorry, I'm late. You haven't waited too long, have you?" Ming Lou sat down in front of her, waved his hand and ordered a cup of ESPRESSO.

"You didn't have lunch, did you? The croissants here are good."

Wang Manchun knew at a glance that he must have been busy until now: "Don't drink such strong coffee on an empty stomach."

"Okay." Minglou smiled, and nodded to the waiter to add a croissant.Seeing that her glass was almost empty, I ordered another latte for her.

Wang Manchun suddenly felt something was wrong, the situation was exactly the same as when he was in school.Even what he said and what he ordered didn't change.As if she was still the student who just finished class, waiting here for her senior brother Minglou.They fell in love with each other, talked about a plan to travel around the world, talked about the ideal of strengthening the country and saving the people together, and promised that they would never lose each other in this life.

At the time, it was only common.

Soon.Wang Manchun gently stirred the coffee in front of him.Perhaps soon, she will be able to fulfill all her promises and relax.

In fact, this is the relief she has always wanted, so she is now very calm.

She asked: "Brother, is Ming Tai back for the New Year?"

"That's right. This little guy is getting better and better as he learns. He sneaked back on New Year's Eve and wants to give us a surprise."

Wang Manchun asked again: "Then what has he been doing recently, do you know?"

Minglou realized something: "What do you want to say?"

"I saw him, in a place where he shouldn't be. There is a very special girl beside him."

She spoke very cryptically, but Minglou already understood.He nodded, no longer concealing worry and heaviness on his expression.

"Really?" Wang Manchun was anxious: "Why don't you take a good look at him? How old is he? He's going to go this way again!"

"You think I want to?" Ming Lou stretched out his hand to press his forehead, worried, annoyed and helpless: "What can I do if he decides to leave? I stuck with you for too long when I was a child, and I learned your stubborn temper."

"What does this have to do with me? His temper is clearly like your eldest sister, so don't blame me!"

Wang Manchun pushed him back unconvinced, but then sighed: "Children of your Ming family... no wonder your eldest sister is so proud."

Ming Lou sighed deeply: "It's nothing more than Ah Cheng and I. If there is something wrong with him, how can I explain it to my eldest sister?"

"It's already like this, don't worry too much."

Wang Manchun couldn't help but shook his hand and comforted him: "Who didn't come here like this? Mingtai is so smart, and the girl next to him is not simple. Don't worry, nothing will happen."

"His partner?" Ming Lou was a little curious when she said that, "What kind of thing? You seem to admire her very much."

"Beautiful, alert, and skilled." Wang Manchun made no secret of her admiration: "I know, she will use her life to protect Mingtai."

Minglou smiled.He held her back and asked, "You've seen so much after only seeing her once?"

"Intuition among women."

Wang Manchun also smiled: "However, I found Chen Bing's body among the fireworks, and the technique was crisp and neat. And she saw me suddenly, without panic, and coped with it freely. On the contrary, Mingtai, the little guy, was clever but was misunderstood by his cleverness." .”

"Oh? What do you say?"

"According to his true temperament, if he saw me now, even if he didn't point his nose and scold me, he should at least walk away. But instead, he kept showing his kindness and poking at my softest place, so I knew there was something wrong. "

"After all, the practice is not enough, I'm going to fight in front of you." Minglou smiled and shook his head: "I forgot who watched him grow up."

"In a blink of an eye, the little boy from back then has grown up to this age." Wang Manchun suddenly became sad: "If my brother lived to this day, he should be like him."

"Manchun," Minglou couldn't help but squeeze her hand tightly: "I know you have always regarded him as your own brother. In fact, my eldest sister and him are more like mother and son, and you and him are more like siblings."

"Why would he want a sister like me?" There was bitterness in Wang Manchun's smile.

Holding her hand tightened suddenly, she felt his pulsating gaze, and quickly changed her tone of relief: "I just hope that he will behave a little better for me, and just don't cause trouble."

"It's more than that." Ming Lou sighed softly, expressing the worry that had been hidden in his heart all along: "I hope that he is not full of enthusiasm, but went astray."

Wang Manchun immediately understood what he meant: "Don't think so much, get through the present first. The road has to be walked step by step. In the future, won't you be there to guide him?"

Minglou nodded, silently holding her hand and not letting go.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Wang Manchun felt his heaviness.

"I heard that the special high school arrested a communist yesterday. He wanted to confess and was injured by a lurking Japanese communist."

"I just found out about this." Wang Manchun was very calm: "He is now in the advanced ward of the Army Hospital. Section Chief Nan Tian has sent military police to guard it like an iron barrel. I think, at least in the near future, others want to get close to him." He has no chance."

Minglou frowned tightly and didn't speak.

"However, I heard that he was seriously injured. Therefore, the interrogation will be delayed." Wang Manchun added.

"But he is just an ordinary intelligence agent in the underground party in Shanghai. The Communist Party may have noticed such a big commotion. Why did Section Chief Nantian mobilize so many teachers?" Minglou finally asked his doubts.

"It's not surprising."

Wang Manchun replied: "In these days, anti-Japanese activities are rampant, and our actions have been frustrated one after another. The pressure of the special high school will not be less than ours. So even if it is a little bit of clues, they will hold on tightly like a man in the water fishing for straw. Don't let it go."

Ming Lou nodded, and held her hand reluctantly: "Things have been messy recently, you should be more careful."

"understood."

She let him hold him obediently, without breaking away or intending to leave. She pointed to the plate in front of him and said, "Eat quickly. It's so hard every day, why don't you eat something?"

Minglou smiled, and picked up the bread as he said.The undisguised concern in her eyes and words flowed warmly through his heart.But at the same time, there is always a faint uneasiness shrouded in it.From the tone of her words today, to the moment she reached out to hold him, he could clearly feel that she was different from usual.She had been careful to keep her distance from him ever since their mutual identities were tacitly known.But now, she no longer deliberately concealed her true feelings and took the initiative to make intimate moves towards him.What is this for?

Minglou's hanging heart became tighter and tighter.The hand holding Man Chun has not let go.
