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

At eight o'clock in the morning, Ah Cheng gently pushed open the door of Minglou's room.

The curtains of the room were still drooping, the desk lamp on the desk was still on, and the reviewed documents were neatly piled up on the table to form a pile of hills.The lid of the Yixing Zisha teacup was open, and the remaining half cup of strong tea was already cold.The first shelf of the desk drawer was wide open, and the aspirin bottle was thrown carelessly beside the glass, empty.

In the early morning, the twilight light coming through the curtain and the dizzy yellow light complement each other, illuminating the pale complexion of the person in front of the table, dark blue eyes, brows and brows.Ming Lou leaned back quietly in the chair with his forehead in his hand, and his other hand clenched into a fist against his chest. Fortunately, he was still wearing the coat he gave him last night.The ups and downs of breathing are relatively stable, but the breath is a little rough.

Ah Cheng's heart suddenly ignited, and he felt the urge to throw all these damn documents on the table towards him.

He knew that Ming Lou must not have slept well last night, so he deliberately came in more than an hour late, in order to let him rest a little longer.Who would have thought that he didn't even touch the edge of the bed!

However, thinking about it, when he really approached, he didn't even dare to make too much noise.First he touched Minglou's forehead carefully, it was warm but not hot.Ah Cheng took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and shook his shoulder lightly, calling: "Brother."

Minglou woke up with a start, his clear eyes were momentarily blank, and soon returned to their former deepness and tranquility.He raised his eyes to meet the anger that Ah Cheng was trying to hold back, and smiled guiltyly: "I wanted to rely on it for a while, but I fell asleep unexpectedly."

The low breath, gentle and soft, contained a hint of comfort and confession.Most of Ah Cheng's anger was resolved in an instant, and the rest couldn't be let out anyway.Resignedly raising his eyebrows, he remembered what Man Chun said, neither of them could do anything about Minglou.Unknowingly let out a sigh of frustration, helped him wash and change his clothes, combed neatly, sat down in front of the sofa, and watched him sip the medicinal meal carefully prepared by Ah Xiang, and then went straight to the topic:

"Liang Zhongchun called me in the morning, and the matter on the 76th was clarified."

Minglou understood what Ah Cheng said at the beginning, and frowned unconsciously and said, "It seems that Yoshimasa Fujita really jumped the wall in a hurry."

"Yes. Fortunately, Sister Manchun is smart and somehow saw through it, otherwise it would be unimaginable."

As Ah Cheng spoke, he felt a chill running down his back and was terrified.After calming down, she continued: "But now she has taken the initiative. Last night's action was fruitless, and she can use this as an excuse to carry out another major cleansing inside No. 76. As for Zhu Huiyin, there is no evidence of other crimes except for some discipline, and she will be punished." It'll be fine."

"Don't be too happy." Minglou looked cold and thoughtful, "Although there was no major flaw in this matter, Zhu Huiyin made a fatal mistake after all. Manchun punished her on the surface, but she was actually helping her clean it up. Fujita Yoshimasa is not a fool, he must be more suspicious than before. Manchun said that once this person has a certain idea, he will be very stubborn and will not give up easily. This is too dangerous for us. "

"What do you mean, big brother?"

"Now that we've come this far, let's just kill him. Manchun can do it." Minglou suddenly made up his mind, and ordered in a calm tone: "Notify our people to go to Suzhou to take care of tonight's escapades. Except for intercepting ordnance and pig iron , but also to wipe out Fujita Yoshimasa in one fell swoop!"

Because of preparations to evacuate, Ming Spiegel returned to the company early in the morning to make various arrangements before leaving.After Ah Cheng and Ming Lou discussed the specific steps of the operation, they also hurried out to find Uncle Li to prepare.The Ming mansion became quiet again for a while.

Minglou supported the sofa and got up slowly, closing his eyes to stabilize his figure.Walking slowly to the window, looking at the shadows of the trees dancing in the yard, I took a deep breath to stabilize myself.Unfolding the fist that has been clenched tightly, the platinum silver flower shines brightly in the palm.When Ah Cheng returned the pair of rings to him that day, he said that Man Chun had seen and tried them on.It's a pity that he was still in a coma at that time, so he couldn't witness the light blooming between her fingers with his own eyes.There are thousands of emotions in my heart, and it is difficult to distinguish between sadness and joy.In fact, the treasures that have been attached to my heart for so many years, I didn't expect to give them away one day.When he embarked on this road, he never expected to escape unscathed, never thought that he would meet her again on this desperate and dangerous journey.God bestowed on him the ultimate mercy that he dared not even dream of, and only hoped that it would not evolve into the ultimate cruelty that would never be restored.

The pain in his chest began to tear again, and he couldn't tell whether it was from the gunshot wound or the panic in his heart.Ming Lou supported the wall and clenched his teeth, pressed his forehead against the edge of the window, tried his best to breathe evenly and slowly.After all, it is not the age of youth in the prime of life.With this injury, I obviously felt that my mental and physical strength was not as good as before, and my words and deeds were all incapable of doing what I wanted. I was so tired that I couldn't support myself after a little thought and work, and I was dizzy several times.It's just that in the current situation, Yoshimasa Fujita is pressing every step of the way, and he really has no chance to breathe.He cannot rest, let alone fall down.

The wind in early spring is still chilly.Some drowsy minds were stimulated by the cold air, but they became clearer.

The cautious knock on the door, accompanied by Ah Xiang's rare and timid voice, sounded at this moment:

"Master, Mr. Yoshimasa Fujita is here to see you."

Minglou was a little surprised, but he didn't hesitate. He closed his eyes for a moment and opened the door to welcome him out.

"Mr. Fujita, why are you here?"

"I just have time, so I came to visit the pillars of our new government. By the way, say goodbye to Mr. Ming."

Ming Lou smiled politely, and told Ah Xiang, "Go, make tea for Mr. Fujita."

"No need, just say a few words to you and leave."

Fujita stared at him sharply: "I am very relieved to see that Mr. Ming is recovering well."

"Thank you Mr. Fujita for your concern."

"Why, Mr. Ming is the only one at home?"

"Yes. My sister has a business. Ah Cheng went to the government office to help me get some documents. There are several economic reform proposals that need to be revised."

"Mr. Ming worked so hard before he recovered from his injury. He is really a role model for government officials, which is admirable."

"Dare not to ignore the responsibility. It should be."

"Then, where is Director Wang?" Fujita Yoshimasa asked suddenly: "She will go to Nanjing with me tonight, won't she come to accompany Mr. Ming before she leaves?"

"No. 76 is busy with business, and it's working time now."

Minglou paused for a moment, his expression and tone revealing helplessness and sadness: "Furthermore, even if there are burdens, there are family rules. The enmity between the Wang and Ming families has been added because of the matter of the younger brother. To be honest, because of My sister's temper, we haven't even got through the phone since we got home. "

"Mr. Ming is talented in both literature and martial arts, but he never expected that he would be so emotionally ill-fated." The first half of Fujita Yoshimasa's sentence was regretful and sympathetic, but the second half of the sentence was heart-piercing: "You can rest assured, Wang Chu She grew up in Nanjing, and we will treat her well."

Minglou's complexion darkened, with a sharp sullen expression between his brows and eyes, he said coldly: "Mr. Fujita cared so much about Ming before he left office, it's really flattering."

Fujita Yoshimasa ignored the ridicule in his words, and changed his tone: "I heard that the eldest sister of the Ming family will go back to Suzhou recently, and go to her hometown to put the ashes of her younger brother Mingtai, is that right?"

Minglou was slightly taken aback: "It's true. How could Mr. Fujita..."

Fujita interrupted with a wave: "I just happened to be able to give her a ride."

"Oh no, don't bother, I've already bought the ticket for my eldest sister."

"I've already refunded her the ticket."

Facing Shangminglou's slightly shocked expression, Fujita continued: "Recently, the law and order in Shanghai is very bad. Yesterday, on the 76th, an anti-Japanese spy was arrested near the train station. Mr. Ming doesn't know about it?"

"I'm ashamed to say that during the recovery period, there was no news." Ming Lou stated in a flat tone: "I only found out about this matter when Director Liang asked Ah Cheng for an official document this morning."

Fujita was noncommittal, and continued: "It's too dangerous to go back by bus. Mr. Ming, Director Wang and I took the special train to escort the ordnance and pig iron along the way. There are two squads of military police guards to ensure absolute safety. So, please Don't say no."

"Mr. Fujita's kindness is hard to refuse." Minglou could only forcefully smile and said, "However, Sister Rong must go home and discuss it, shall we?"

"At 11 o'clock sharp tonight, I'll be waiting at the train station. Goodbye."

Fujita put down these words with a strong attitude, then got up and walked out.Minglou was left feeling alone and in a state of confusion.

When Ah Cheng returned to the Ming Mansion, he found that all the plainclothes secret sentries who had been ambushing had been removed.Instead, the Japanese gendarmes with guns and live ammunition surrounded the entire courtyard in broad daylight.

Ah Xiang had been waiting at the door for a long time, when she saw him get off the car, she hurried up and said, "Brother Ah Cheng, take a look."

"How is this going?"

"It was brought by the Japanese named Fujita Yoshimasa. He went in and talked to the young master for a while, and left them behind when he left, saying that he was protecting the safety of the Ming family."

Ah Cheng's face was gloomy, and he asked, "Where's the young master?"

"I've been waiting for you to come back." Axiang said worriedly: "Young master's condition is not very good. You supervised the few mouthfuls of medicinal food you ate in the morning, and you seemed to vomit later. I dare not go into the study room of the young master." Excuse me. Brother Ah Cheng, go and have a look."

After hearing this, Ah Cheng hurried in and went straight to Minglou's room, pushed the door open and called out, "Brother, I'm back."

Minglou, who was sinking on the sofa and rubbing his temples in thought, lowered his hands and looked up at him when he heard this: "Ah Cheng, we have a problem."

Ah Cheng's heart trembled suddenly.

Minglou's surface was still as calm as water, and his voice did not fluctuate at all, but his face was already pale enough to reveal a frightening light blue, and there were layers of fine cold sweat on his forehead.

"Brother, don't be in a hurry." Ah Cheng quickly sat down beside him, and asked, "Is it because Yoshita Fujita hijacked Eldest Sister?"

"How do you know?" Minglou was surprised.

"Sister Manchun has learned of Fujita Yoshimasa's intention through the Japanese Communist Party's secret line, so she urgently contacted Uncle Li with the connection code you gave her. What Sister Manchun means is to assassinate Fujita tonight and intercept supplies, and at the same time Rescue eldest sister to go to the base area, kill three birds with one stone."

"The problem is, our manpower is far from enough." Ming Lou frowned and said:

"In the middle of the night, when the enemy was sleepy and paralyzed, they put drugs in the drinking water, killed Fujita and separated the carriage without anyone noticing. Even if something went wrong in one of the links, our success rate was still very high. But now Fujita If you want to take your eldest sister along, you will have to step up your precautions, and the risk of the whole plan will increase. Furthermore, the box of Fujita Yoshimasa is still ten knots away from the freight compartment behind. If you want to take your eldest sister, you will cross these ten knots full of Japanese military police compartment, the chances are almost zero.”

"So, eldest sister can't follow the docked train." Ah Cheng replied: "Sister Manchun has studied this train carefully. She suspects that there may be secret escorts hidden in the middle of the compartment where the sundries are placed. She is going to The explosives are placed in this car, and at the same time as the detonation, the separation of the hook must be completed in an instant and cleanly."

Minglou nodded.

Acheng continued: "After this attack, Fujita Yoshimasa will definitely get off at Suzhou Station and report to Shangfeng. At the same time, his gendarmerie unit will change guards there to rest. We try to delay the Japanese soldiers who are going to change guards." Fujita would not have thought that we would act again so soon. The gendarmes who had been relieved of their post should be disbanded and returned to the camp on the spot. Sister Manchun took advantage of this time to kill Fujita Yoshimasa and escorted the elder sister off the bus. Uncle Li led people to meet him on the platform. Send eldest sister across the river."

Ming Lou clenched his hands tightly, pondered silently for a long time, and finally spit out four words: "The plan is feasible."

"but--"

Before Ah Cheng could react, he added a serious tone and emphasized: "Tell Man Chun and Uncle Li that the deviant action must be completed. To rescue the eldest sister, you must judge the situation and do what you can, and you must not take risks!"

"Yes."

Minglou didn't say anything anymore, he lowered his head and closed his eyes, and unconsciously pressed his hands on his chest.

It was only then that Ah Cheng remembered that his painkiller was empty in the morning.Can't help but worry and ask: "Brother, does the wound hurt?"

"Fortunately."

This is Minglou's consistent answer recently.Ah Cheng lowered his face, and then he said angrily: "It's just a little tired, isn't it?"

Minglou opened his eyes to see his angry look, pursed his lips slightly, and smiled slightly: "It's really okay."

Ah Cheng sighed softly, got up and went out to bring the ginseng tea made by Ah Xiang into his hand: "Drink this."

Minglou took a sip and then frowned in disgust: "It's so bad! Where's my Biluochun?"

"I didn't eat or drink Biluochun!" Ah Cheng pointed to the cup and said with a straight face: "You drink it obediently, and then eat a bowl of porridge, and I will ask Ah Xiang to make tea for you."

"Ah Xiang was bought by you." Ming Lou said with resentment on his face, "Brat, are you the young master or am I the young master?"

Ah Cheng ignored him, took out something from his pocket and handed it over: "Then, Sister Manchun gave it to you."

"This..." Ming Lou looked at the safety talisman in his hand in surprise: "She never believed in this."

"Yes." Ah Cheng couldn't help laughing: "Maybe she felt embarrassed herself, so she didn't give it to you after saving it for so long."

"What has been stored for so long?" Minglou was puzzled.

Ah Cheng said: "This is the peace talisman of Lingyin Temple. How long do you think it has been?"

Minglou was startled.

During his birthday on the Winter Solstice, Manchun happened to go to Hangzhou on business.When she came back, she never mentioned congratulating him on his birthday.Although he didn't say it, he felt a little lost in his heart.

"So she remembered it! I thought she had forgotten it long ago."

As Ming Lou spoke, his chest trembled suddenly, and he suddenly understood her thoughts.After the reunion, she learned that he was on a perilous journey, and even though she didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, she still couldn't help but go to the temple to make a wish on his birthday, praying for God to protect him in the uncontrollable.She had never cherished her own life, her most selfish thought was to protect him.

"It's no wonder you forgot! You two are really good. How about you? When will you send those silk scarves you bought for her? Could it be that they are going to be moldy or become antiques?"

Ah Cheng's jokes came to an abrupt end when he noticed Minglou's expression.Minglou's eyes as deep as the sea overflowed with too much emotion that was too thick to express, and Ah Cheng couldn't catch it clearly for a while.He opened his mouth, and in the end he only said one word of comfort:

"Don't worry, brother, Sister Manchun has done enough research on this operation. It will definitely succeed and nothing will happen."

When Ah Cheng said this, he couldn't help but pressed his hand on the pocket.There was also a pack of medicinal powder that Manchun gave him.Meditating to nourish the blood and calm the mind can make the elder brother sleep peacefully at night, avoiding the anxious torture of waiting anxiously.

It was finally time for the siblings to bid farewell, even though everything had been planned and everything was prepared, at this moment, Minglou couldn't help feeling flustered.

"Elder sister, when the time comes to chaos, don't panic, don't be afraid, don't run around, someone will take you to see Uncle Li and Jinyun." Down the stairs, Ah Cheng went to prepare the car, Ming Lou was facing her sister, she couldn't remember Qing is the first time to tell me.

"Understood, my good brother." Ming Jing gently stroked his shoulder and said: "I'm not at home to watch you, you should take good care of your injuries, take care of yourself, and take good care of my two younger brothers."

"Yes." Ming Lou endured his sadness and nodded.

"Mingtai, I've already made arrangements. As for Ah Cheng, don't forget to take him to see that teacher surnamed Jin next week. Your marriage..."

When Ming Jing said this, he sighed a long way: "It's been so many years, the eldest sister knows why you don't have a girlfriend or get married. My sister may have made a big mistake back then."

"Miss."

Ming Jing lowered his head in a rare way, and said slowly: "Each of you hides too deeply, and my sister can't see through. There are too many things, my sister doesn't know. But, there is one thing I have never doubted, that is, in the In this world, no one loves you more than her. Giving you to her is more reassuring than giving Mingtai to Jin Yun."

Minglou silently closed his eyes and did not speak.

"After you left, she came to me and asked me to pass this on to you." Ming Jing suddenly took out a yellowed envelope from his pocket, and said with difficulty and guilt:

"Minglou, it's not my sister who is hard-hearted. I didn't give it to you in time because I was persuaded by her. I thought that when you came back during the Chinese New Year, you would make it clear when you met. Who would have thought that you would not come back after three years?" home, and she's already..."

"Sister, stop talking, I won't blame you."

"Minglou, my sister knows that you are not a person who does not distinguish between good and evil, right and wrong."

Ming Jing said every word with great solemnity: "I have never forgotten her for so many years, and I still love her as much as before today. You must have your reasons and reasons. Therefore, sister will not interfere again. If, if you really If it's all the way..."

"Take her home as soon as possible, don't delay any longer."

"Miss!"

A promise that was eight years late came suddenly and unexpectedly.Minglou tried his best to bear it, but the mist in his eyes finally came out.

The author has something to say:

It is said that today is the first anniversary of the premiere of The Pretender. As a birthday present, the eldest sister finally let go!
