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

"Big brother, big brother!" Ah Cheng pushed open the door and ran in in a panic: "It's no good, the lone wolf escaped from prison!"

Because he was at the liaison station of the Japanese Communist Party, Wang Manchun got the news earlier than Minglou.After the initial shock, she didn't even have time to make a phone call, so she rushed straight to the Ming mansion with two guns in her pocket.By the time Ah Cheng led his people away from the government office, Wang Manchun had already swaggered into Ming's house and took control of Ming Jing.

"Wang Manchun, what are you doing? The Japanese were more polite than you when they came last night!"

Seeing that she was so arrogant that she barged into the house and drew a gun at him, Ming Jing almost suspected that he had made a mistake yesterday. This woman was clearly a mad dog of the Japanese.

"Chairman Ming, your servant, Aunt Gui, is an anti-Japanese activist and has just escaped from prison in a special high school. Since you are her master, I have an obligation to ask you to go to No. 76 to assist in the investigation."

Wang Manchun suppressed the restlessness in his heart, waved his gun and assumed the usual arrogant posture: "Please."

The lone wolf ran away!But now there are only her and Ah Xiang, two unarmed women at home.Ming Jing understood a little, but he still couldn't get angry with Wang Manchun's arrogance.Won't she take it easy and talk to her?It's really addictive to be a villain!

"Miss!" The trembling Ah Xiang tried to block Ming Jing, and Wang Manchun immediately aimed the gun at her head.

"Wang Manchun, don't mess around, I'll go with you!" Although he guessed that she was bluffing, Ming Jing still shook his head nervously at A Xiang, signaling her to back off.

Only then did Wang Manchun lower his gun, and said to the frightened little girl: "You are too timid. However, it is rare to have the courage to sacrifice your life to protect the master. Tell your husband, the eldest lady was taken away by me, Wang Manchun." .”

After emphasizing the words Wang Manchun, she reached out and grabbed Ming Jing's arm and walked out.

"Don't touch me, I'll walk by myself!" Ming Jing struggled angrily.

Wang Manchun didn't pay any attention, just dragged her into the car and drove away.

Ming Jing rubbed her sore arm, and seemed to be angry when he saw Wang Manchun driving silently with a cold face.This woman's temper is simply gloomy and unpredictable!For a moment, they became more and more annoyed, and both of them remained silent.

Sitting silently for a while, Ming Jing finally couldn't help it: "What do you want to do to me? I warn you, my Minglou..."

"Your Minglou? So you know that there is a younger brother like Minglou!"

Wang Manchun interrupted her all of a sudden, and said coldly: "I thought, in Chairman Ming's heart, there is only Mingtai as a family member!"

Ming Jing vaguely realized why she was angry, and opened his mouth, but he had no words to refute.

Wang Manchun finally found an outlet for the anger he had held back for a long time: "How about it, this time it's number 76, what surprises do you think of? Perhaps, you should say everything you didn't finish last time."

"'You are an opportunist who talks to people and talks to people!' I remember right, Chairman Ming?"

"What else is there? 'What did you tell me at home? You said you were...' Chairman Ming, what is my brother? What do you want to say? Do you want me to tell you Fujita Yoshimasa again? Please come here and hear you finish this sentence?"

Ding Spiegel completely understood at this time: They are all the way!Wang Manchun had almost made it clear to her.

"I really want to know now, how did Chairman Ming take charge of the Ming family at the age of 17? How did he escape death after so many years?"

Mingjing finally showed shame.

Wang Manchun gritted his teeth hard, unable to hide his excitement.

She could bear and understand all the pain and hurt Ming Jing brought her.Including the extremely humiliating "turning the book theory", she silently accepted it without making any excuses.But she couldn't tolerate her threatening Minglou's safety no matter what.No matter how worried and anxious she was to the point of losing her mind, she should understand what Minglou would face once she said that, how could she be so confused!

"Mingjing, you are really good! What a elder sister is like a mother, and the siblings are deeply affectionate! Mingtai is not dead yet, you are going to drag your whole family to be buried with him! You still blame them for hiding everything one by one! Looking at you? If I hadn't kept it from you for so many years, I don't know how many times I would have been killed by you!"

Uncharacteristically, Ming Jing bowed his head and remained silent under her fierce words, and the patriarchal arrogance he had cultivated over the years disappeared.Except for the last time Ming Lou had to act in the rain, no one had ever dared to accuse her face to face so presumptuously.Unlike the shock and chills that time, Ming Jing's mood gradually settled at this time, and she felt an inexplicable relief at the same time as she felt guilty. Even she herself didn't understand where these complicated emotions came from.Letting Wang Manchun forget his form to vent, Mingjing suddenly recalled that little girl with calm eyes and stubborn tone, who said she would wait for Minglou for the rest of her life.It turns out that the most real her has never changed.

In this way, it is not in vain that Minglou's blood-stained clothes that day, and his silent persistence for many years.

After Wang Manchun lost his temper at Mingjing, he completely calmed down.In fact, it's not that she can't control her anger, it's just that there are some things that Minglou doesn't want or can't bear to say to her, someone must come to her and clarify the benefits and disadvantages.Fortunately, Ding Jing's silence shows that she has finally realized her mistake and learned from it so that she will not repeat it. This is the most important thing for Wang Manchun.As for how Ming Jing sees herself, she no longer cares.

The car drove into No. 76, and Wang Manchun saw Zhu Huiyin waiting at the door of the building at a glance.When she got out of the car with the mirror, Zhu Huiyin hurried forward to report: "Director Wang, Chief Ming wants you to call him immediately after you come back."

"Understood." Wang Manchun handed Der Spiegel and the office key to her:

"Miss Zhu, you have met this Chairman Ming. She is now an important witness in the prison escape case of the special high school. Please send her to my office to take good care of her. There must be no mistakes, and don't talk to other people. Contact with others, and I will ask you personally when I come back. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Director Wang."

Wang Manchun watched them go upstairs, walked into the communication room at the door, and sent the staff on duty to call Minglou.

"Brother, big sister is safe with me, don't worry."

"I know. Eldest sister will stay with you, come here quickly." Minglou's voice lost his stability, and he urged in a hurry: "Don't come alone. Bring enough people and guns, and drive two cars."

"What's wrong? What happened?"

"The lone wolf attacked Liang Zhongchun's residence and killed his second wife."

When Wang Manchun arrived at Minglou's office, he was sternly admonishing a room full of people.

"Pass my order: Once you find her trace, you don't need to apply, shoot her immediately!"

"Yes!"

Wang Manchun waited for a group of people to withdraw and followed behind to close the door.Before he could turn around, he was hugged tightly by Ming Lou.

"Are you all right?" he asked softly.

"It's okay. Where's Ah Cheng?"

"I went to Liang Zhongchun's house." Minglou sighed, "Liang Zhongchun is still locked in the prison of the special high school. I didn't expect the lone wolf to take revenge on his family."

His handsome face was haggard, and he was obviously exhausted physically and mentally.Wang Manchun quickly pulled him to sit on the sofa, knelt beside him, grabbed his head and rubbed it.

"It's Takagi." Wang Manchun said affirmatively, "I don't know how Lone Wolf convinced him."

"I know." Minglou closed his eyes as if he was resting, but he did not let go of his frowning eyebrows: "Fujita Yoshimasa is anxious to clear up his responsibility for the codebook incident, but Takagi is eager for his responsibility to become more serious." The bigger the better. Originally, I wanted to lead Fujita’s suspicious target to Takagi, but I still underestimated Fujita’s trust in him. I didn’t expect that Fujita would have an accident right away when he went to Nanjing.”

"Isn't this just confirming Takagi's infidelity? It's not entirely a bad thing. Brother, don't worry."

Minglou held her hand silently: "Manchun, thank you for protecting eldest sister in such a timely manner."

Wang Manchun smiled slightly: "Thank you, the eldest sister is safe, so we don't have to worry about our work. All the people in No. 76 have also been arranged to go out, and cast a net to hunt them down. There is nothing else to do now, you can take a rest."

"You must not go alone these days, you have to take someone with you wherever you go. Do you understand?" Minglou held her hand tightly, with a worried look on his face: "The person the lone wolf hates the most right now should be you, luckily You are at Mary's tonight."

"I'm not Liang Zhongchun's little wife!" Wang Manchun raised her eyebrows: "Even if I'm alone at home, she might not be able to do anything to me."

Minglou sat up straight from her arms, and said with a serious face: "Manchun, be obedient! She is in the dark and we are in the light, so we must not be careless."

"I see." Hearing his solemn words, Wang Manchun was warmly moved, but couldn't help but worry about him:

"Senior brother, you have to be careful yourself. This woman will take revenge. You were the one who drove her out of the Ming family back then, and now you are joining hands with me to play her into your hands. Old hatred and new hatred, she will never let it go."

Ming Lou nodded: "I would rather she come to me than kill innocent people indiscriminately."

"That little girl in your family," Wang Manchun suddenly said nervously, "I intentionally left her at home to report to you, shouldn't it be..."

Ming Lou patted her hand reassuringly: "Don't worry, Ah Cheng has already arranged for someone to send her back to her hometown in the countryside overnight."

"That's good. The little girl is very affectionate. She was scared to death and tried her best to protect the Lord."

Wang Manchun breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to caress his forehead again, and placed a kiss on the brow that had never been stretched: "Okay, don't think about it anymore, go to sleep for a while. It's almost dawn."

So when Ah Cheng came back, what he saw was the warm scene of the two embracing and sleeping again.

The eldest brother who has always been calm and self-sufficient has completely fallen, can't he restrain himself a little in the office?How could his unmarried younger brother of the right age turn a blind eye to it!When you insisted on telling Sister Manchun the truth, did you ever think of the embarrassment now?

With a bitter face, Ah Cheng carefully covered them with blankets, turned off the lights and left.

That night, the overtime staff of the Minglou secretariat were notified: Chief Ming was very tired and rested, and no one should disturb him.All matters must be conveyed through the Secretary-General Ming.

At dawn two things happened.One is that Yoshimasa Fujita, who went to Nanjing to report on his work, returned to Shanghai urgently, and had a secret talk with Minglou in the reception room of the city hall for almost an hour.Afterwards, Liang Zhongchun was released from prison, and after taking care of his family affairs, he returned to No. 76 to take his guilt and stay in his post.

The second thing is that the news of the lone wolf's escape from prison appeared outside the major newspapers and spread throughout the city.Fortunately, Minglou, who saw through the intention of this move, immediately sent Ah Cheng to stop Mingtai's reckless appearance in time, and dragged him back to Uncle Li's residence to teach him a lesson.

For the next two days, it was unusually quiet.Since the night of his escape, Lone Wolf seems to have evaporated from the world.Ren Minglou mobilized all resources to search the city, but found nothing.The quieter it is, the more uneasy Minglou feels, and the more stringent and meticulous the protection of Manchun becomes.Whether it's morning jogs, commuting to and from get off work, or going out for dinner, even if you can't spare yourself to accompany her personally, you will always ask Ah Cheng or No. 76's subordinates to accompany you, and never let her take orders for a moment.

On the third day, Wang Manchun couldn't bear it anymore.

"It can't go on like this." She said to Minglou seriously: "It's a monolith, the lone wolf has no way to attack. The longer it drags on, the worse it will be for us."

Hearing her tone, Ming Lou guessed what she was planning, and immediately asked with a straight face, "Then what do you want to do?"

"Simple, doesn't she hate me the most? I'll lure her out."

"No!" Minglou stood up from the chair in a hurry, and said seriously, "Listen to me clearly, don't take any risks!"

"Brother, listen to me..."

Although she expected that Minglou would definitely object, she still didn't expect his reaction to be so intense.He was about to speak softly to comfort him, but he interrupted him with a wave of his hand:

"Don't bargain with me, this matter is not discussed."

"Senior Brother, if I don't release Sister Ming Jing from No. 76, next time you see her, I'm afraid you will kneel down in the small ancestral hall again."

"Kneel, just kneel, it's not like I haven't kneeled before."

"Then who cares about your family's business? You want to exhaust Ah Cheng to death!"

"You still say? The Wang family has such a big business, you just threw it to Ah Cheng! If he is tired, you will be exhausted to death."

Wang Manchun was stunned, and had no choice but to change direction:

"Then Cheng Jinyun can't see Mingtai all the time, can he? What if the lone wolf stares at her and finds Mingtai?"

"I have to feel sorry for the special period. Mingtai will leave soon, and Cheng Jinyun will leave later."

"What about Liang Zhongchun? He is the weakest link in our plan."

But Wang Manchun turned another angle: "You know, Liang Zhongchun suspected that you were Chongqing elements from the very beginning, and now he should have already confirmed it in his heart. What if he falls into the hands of the lone wolf..."

Minglou frowned unknowingly, and after thinking for a moment, he still said: "He has no concrete evidence. Besides, he is different from you, he is very careful in his front and back, and the lone wolf has no chance to attack."

"If time drags on for too long, vigilance will gradually relax. Can it be prevented for a while and for a lifetime?"

Wang Manchun couldn't hide his anxiety: "Brother, if Yoshimasa Fujita heard Liang Zhongchun's confession, he would definitely be suspicious. Even if there is no evidence, maybe he will not touch you because of your status, but what about Ah Cheng? What are you going to do if you take Cheng to the extra-high school?"

Minglou changed color a little, bowed his head and muttered silently.

"Since the lone wolf has taken the tape recorder, it will never disappear silently. Also, the relationship between your Secretary Liu and Takagi, I don't know what will happen. Senior brother, it's really not an option to keep wasting like this. Your situation will become more and more dangerous. We need to take the initiative. As long as I lure the lone wolf to show up, you and Cheng will have a chance."

"No, I don't agree." Ming Lou still refused firmly.

"Don't worry, she wants to record our words to clarify herself, so she will never go straight to the ultimate move." Wang Manchun gently held his hand: "Brother, don't do this, you have always been the most sensible."

Minglou embraced her silently, lowered his head and pressed his face into the hollow of her neck, feeling her breath and her warmth.Just hugging her quietly like a hug—the deepest longing that begged thousands of times in a trance while drunk and dreaming.

"You all think that I am made of steel, and I am invulnerable to all poisons?"

With the sound of sighing faintly past her ears, his kiss fell silently on her shoulder:

"I've lost you once, and I can't lose you again."

At this moment, Wang Manchun completely forgot what he was going to do.

From childhood to adulthood, Minglou has always been as firm as a mountain and fearless.There is nothing that he cannot face, and there is no problem that he cannot solve.

Therefore, the weakness and dependence he rarely showed made her thrilling and irresistible.

"You never lost me, never. Never will."

Closing her eyes, letting the tears soak her long eyelashes, she reached out and hugged him tightly: "What we lost is only time."

In the end, none of them could convince anyone.

Minglou has to rush to the Zhou Mansion for a meeting, insisting that Ah Cheng personally send Manchun back to No. 76.But Wang Manchun kept watching him get into the car with the bodyguards he personally dispatched, and then sat in Ah Cheng's car with confidence.

"The matter of the lone wolf, we can't just wait like this. Ah Cheng, help me persuade my brother."

"No. This time, I'll follow Big Brother." Ah Cheng's answer was as firm as Ming Lou's.

"Think about it, if we continue like this, we will be too passive!" Wang Manchun was in a hurry: "If we keep protecting, we don't know when she will do something. We will all be in danger."

"That's safer than using you as bait!"

"But at least we can control the situation. Moreover, we can completely set up a perfect game like last time. But the senior brother is not even willing to think about it now!"

"The last time I almost took your life, my brother was terrified! Do you think he will come again?"

"Besides, you don't understand the insanity of the lone wolf!" Ah Cheng gritted his teeth: "No one knows better than me, and the eldest brother knows it too. Therefore, we will never take you to take risks."

"Ah Cheng," Wang Manchun continued to persuade, but was interrupted by Ah Cheng's sudden and thoughtless question:

"Brother has changed a lot recently, do you feel it?"

Wang Manchun knew what he wanted to say, nodded and remained silent.

"For so many years, I have never seen him so happy and content."

Ah Cheng's tone was both gratifying and worried: "So sister Manchun, you must have nothing to do, even if it's for the eldest brother."

"Do you know? I have never understood my elder brother's insistence on concealing what happened back then. Now I finally understand: he is not just afraid of disturbing your emotions, he is afraid of losing control of himself. This feeling is suppressed in his heart For too long, the happiness that was lost and regained, if it is lost again, even for a strong person like Big Brother, it will be lost forever."

"Sister Manchun, no one knows Eldest Brother better than me. If something happens to you, Eldest Brother - he won't be able to bear it."

Wang Manchun couldn't calm down in his office.

Perhaps, what she said to Manli that night was not completely accurate.

Love is too deep, in fact, there is no equality.Under the sun that is too strong, too bright and too dazzling in her life, she is humble after all.

She would burn herself to death without hesitation, even if she could only keep him safe for a moment.

So she would always ignore it. She looked up at her senior brother who was so strong and indestructible that she adored her. The biggest fear in her heart was the fear of losing her.

He didn't want her to go through fire and water for him, he only wanted her to be by his side well.

But if it continues like this, she is really worried that he and Ah Cheng will be in danger.

How to do?

The unreasonable restlessness made her feel that the days seemed like years.

"How is Chairman Ming?" She asked Zhu Huiyin.

"It's like she's changed her gender." Zhu Huiyin said with a smile, "Very calm and cooperative. I didn't make any noise asking you to let her out."

"It's really rare." She couldn't help but smile.It seems that the strong medicine last time was effective, and Der Spiegel has completely figured it out.

"Has Director Liang recovered a bit?"

"It's better. Director Liang has been leading people to search for the fugitive with all his strength. Don't worry, she will be found."

Wang Manchun nodded and said: "Director Liang is inconvenient to move, please pay attention, send more people to follow, and make sure he is safe."

"Yes."

Wang Manchun's heavy mood improved slightly after Zhu Huiyin left.Looking at the watch, Minglou's meeting should be over. I don't know if there is time to have lunch together.

Even though we were separated for only a short while, I couldn't help but want to see him.Miss his warm embrace and reassuring smile.

Wang Manchun wanted to make a phone call to inquire, but was afraid of disturbing his work.She knew that unless there was an important dinner or something was too urgent to leave, Minglou would not refuse as long as she asked.It's just that after accompanying her, I will work overtime silently to finish what I have to do.It's been like that since I was in school.

While hesitating, the phone rang loudly.Wang Manchun immediately picked up the receiver: "Hello?"

"Director Wang, I'm Secretary Liu in Chief Ming's office. Chief Ming was attacked on the way back from the Zhou mansion and is in critical condition!"

The author has something to say:

"Don't be afraid of mistakes, as long as you live, I will forgive you." ——I always feel that this should be what Lou Chun said to each other, really.
