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

Ming Lou sat at his desk, thinking about the secret message from Chongqing that he just received this morning:

The death knell strikes, and the bell-ringer goes on his way.

It's time to come, it's finally here.

He looked at his watch, fidgeting impatiently.Ah Cheng has been out for almost an hour, and he doesn't know how things are going.

For Ah Cheng, he has always been [-]% assured.Only this time, his target is Manchun.

Assassination and assassination, various variables are unpredictable.No matter how careful the planning was, he was still worried at this point.

What's more, as soon as I came to the general office this morning, I got a report that a cargo ship sailing out of Wusongkou last night suddenly exploded, and the cause was unknown.

He knew that it was a military smuggling boat ferrying through Area A, and Mingtai must have done this.

Why is this kid still so willful and reckless in doing things!

The phone rang suddenly.

Minglou picked up the receiver, and there was Liang Zhongchun's panicked voice: "Mr. Ming, I just got the news that Director Wang was attacked on his way to work."

"What?" Ming Lou stood up abruptly, and asked anxiously, "How is Man Chun? Did you catch the assassin?"

Liang Zhongchun quickly replied: "Don't worry, Chief Ming. Director Wang is not seriously injured and has been sent to the Army Hospital. However, the murderer has escaped. I am leading people to conduct a thorough investigation at the scene of the crime."

"Where are you? I'll come right away."

Liang Zhongchun put down the phone, feeling even more nervous.The reason why he made this phone call in person at the first time was because he knew that Minglou had an extraordinary relationship with Wang Manchun.And Minglou's reaction on the phone was even more intense than he expected.Now that he committed the crime of ineffectiveness and negligence, I'm afraid it will be difficult to evade it.

Cold sweat dripped from Liang Zhongchun's forehead.Fortunately, Wang Manchun was only slightly injured and survived.Otherwise, Minglou's anger at the crown is no small matter, and he might not be able to escape from prison.

While my heart was fluttering, I saw Minglou's car speeding up, and Minglou pushed the door directly from the driver's seat and got out.He actually drove over by himself!

This level in front of me is not easy!Liang Zhongchun swallowed his saliva a few times, and greeted him respectfully: "Master Ming, humble position..."

Minglou didn't care to listen to his plea, so he waved his hand to interrupt.When I looked up, I could see thick smoke billowing. Manchun's car had exploded and burned into a pile of scrap metal, and the bodies of three patrolmen lay dead next to him. One can imagine the tragedy of the attack.

Ah Cheng didn't come back and didn't call. Ming Lou was anxious and asked, "How is Chief Wang injured?"

"Director Wang is fine. Don't worry, Chief Ming." Liang Zhongchun hurriedly said, "When the murderer fired the first shot, thanks to Director Wang's quick reaction, he immediately leaned over and jumped out of the car. The murderer fired several shots in succession. , hit the engine on the front of the car and caused an explosion, and killed the police who came after hearing the sound. Director Wang was only shot in the shoulder, not hitting the vitals. There were also some scratches on his body caused when he jumped out of the car, but they were not serious. Ming Please rest assured, sir."

Ming Lou breathed a sigh of relief, and asked again: "Where's the murderer? No one was caught, so there must be clues?"

"This..." Liang Zhongchun looked embarrassed, and secretly swallowed again.

Seeing him like this, Minglou was completely relieved.

"Our people are still collecting evidence. The murderer shot from the roof. No trace was found at the scene. He must be an expert. I deduce that it should be sent by Chongqing."

Minglou looked at the roof of the opposite building that Liang Zhongchun was pointing at, frowned and did not speak.

"Please rest assured, Chief Ming, I will do my best to investigate and solve the case as soon as possible, and wipe out the anti-Japanese elements!"

"Save these words for a while and tell the Japanese." Ming Lou interrupted him impatiently: "Within a month, I, Director Wang, I don't know whose turn it will be next."

Liang Zhongchun's hairs stood on end when he heard it, he was panicked and didn't know what to answer.

"Sir!" Ah Cheng hurried over, "I heard that Director Wang had an accident just after I came back from Wusongkou. How is the situation?"

"Go, go to the Army Hospital." Minglou ordered, and then said to Liang Zhongchun with a serious face: "Director Liang, the cargo ship that sailed out of Wusongkou exploded last night, you don't know about it? The cargo on board probably also has Department Liang. How about a long copy?"

"Master Ming..." Liang Zhongchun hesitated.

"Do your own thing well and don't cause me any trouble." Minglou said in a stern tone.

"Yes, yes. The subordinate understands." Liang Zhongchun responded repeatedly, bowed down with an apologetic smile and respectfully sent Minglou into the car, then reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

"Brother, are you worried?" Ah Cheng drove the car, looked at Minglou in the rearview mirror, and said apologetically, "The traffic jam on the way back to the government office was delayed for a while, and I didn't know you had come to the scene until I arrived. .”

"Liang Zhongchun told me that Man Chun was only shot in the shoulder." Minglou leaned on the back seat of the car and rubbed his temple: "It's too light. What did you do?"

"Sister Manchun suddenly lowered her head to pick up something when she happened to shoot, and I can't help it." Ah Cheng said with an aggrieved face: "Brother, don't blame me, if she moved in another direction, she would die. .My heart is still beating wildly!"

These words really made Minglou speechless.

After a long silence, Ming Lou spoke again: "The question is, what if she refuses to stay in the hospital with such a minor injury?"

Ah Cheng held back his guilt and said, "Brother, don't worry. Didn't you make it clear to her last time? She knows she can't interfere."

Minglou gritted his teeth: "You keep an eye on me. If she is disobedient and leaves the hospital, you will come again."

"Ah?" Ah Cheng was dumbfounded: "Big...Brother, please forgive me!"

"Otherwise, what else can I do? I'm afraid she won't be able to bear what I'm going to do next."

Minglou said these words with his eyes closed, and the calm tone of his voice did not know how much nostalgia and tenderness were hidden.

Ah Cheng felt sad for a while, and quickly said: "Brother, don't worry, leave this matter to me."

Minglou nodded slightly and stopped talking.

When he arrived at the hospital, Wang Manchun's wound had already been treated and he was sent to the ward.Under the effect of the sedative, he still fell into a deep sleep.

Ming Lou didn't go forward either, but stood silently at the door of the ward, staring at her sleeping face from afar.

Probably because of the blood loss, the face that was already as bright as the moon was now paler than snow.There was no longer the usual coldness and hostility between the brows and eyes, but a bit of pure fragility in the tranquility and peace.

She didn't like makeup the least at first, and she has always been like this.Such as wearing heavy makeup every day, is it another kind of camouflage.At this time, the lead was washed away, and she finally returned to her most authentic appearance.That beautiful face and gentle demeanor were the same as before, and it was his favorite appearance engraved in his heart.

Overwhelming tenderness flooded Minglou's chest, and he finally captured them one by one into his bottomless black eyes.

"Sir," Ah Cheng walked over with a doctor in his 50s: "Mr. Akita Yoshio, a famous Japanese surgeon, just arrived in Shanghai yesterday with his medical team. Mr. Akita is here, You don't have to worry about Director Wang's injury."

Ming Lou bowed and shook hands with him politely: "Mr. Akita is sorry."

"You don't have to be polite about your duties." Akita turned sharply around Minglou: "I've heard about Mr. Minglou for a long time, and I finally see you today. Please rest assured, Director Wang is only a flesh wound. It'll be fine if you raise it."

"Mr. Akita, the Secret Service Headquarters is fully investigating the assassination of Director Wang. For the safety of Director Wang, I hope she can stay here for a while. You won't object?"

"Of course not. I understand what Mr. Ming means. Don't worry, Director Wang is [-]% safe here."

"Then Mr. Lao Akita will take care of you."

The two bowed again and said goodbye.

Ming Lou watched Akita leave, and asked Ah Cheng in a low voice, "What is the background of this person?"

"A top surgeon in Japan. He has taught in eight imperial universities in Japan. I heard that there are four places where he has clinics in Tokyo, Kyoto, Kobe, and Osaka. After the war, it is inevitable that he will come to serve the Japanese Imperial Army. .”

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Minglou thought about his meaningful gaze just now, and quietly ordered: "Go and check."

"Yes." Ah Cheng replied, and said, "Brother, don't stop standing here. Go in and see Sister Manchun, she should wake up soon."

"No." Ming Lou suppressed the chaotic emotions, and only said: "There are still many things at the government office, I will go back first. You just stay here."

"Brother, it's all here now, and she's about to wake up, why are you in a hurry to go back?"

"I'm relieved to see that she's fine. When she wakes up, tell her to stay in the hospital for a while as we agreed, and don't run around. Also, inform Zhu Huiyin that she must not be disturbed by any business on the 76th. If Manchun showed up on the 76th and reported immediately without delay."

"Yes."

After Minglou finished giving orders, he still couldn't take his eyes off the person on the bed, and his voice was full of tenderness and pity: "She is injured now, and she doesn't even have a relative by her side. When she wakes up, you can stay with her for a while, and don't rush back. "

Ah Cheng couldn't help but said, "You clearly know that the person she wants to see the most when she wakes up must be you."

Minglou turned around with eyelashes lowered, as if he had put away all his thoughts about the world of mortals: "I can't give her anything, I shouldn't have come here in the first place."

Without looking back, he strode away, completely cold.
