there are bandits

This news was not dropped, but waited for.

When the phone on the table and Ah Cheng's footsteps came in at the same time, Ming Lou didn't know which voice to choose for the first time.He spread his slender fingers to stop Ah Cheng from speaking, looked at the phone on the table that was shaking as if the receiver would fall off in a second, waited until it stopped ringing, and he was sure it hadn't fallen off before he got up.Dang took a big step and walked out, as if this office would eat people.

He walked and pointed with his finger: "Go, go out and take a walk."

Ah Cheng almost had to trot to keep up with him. In the corridor, he asked anxiously, "Should we drive or walk?"

Minglou was about to step into the sunshine outside the doorway from the corridor of the government building that was not exposed to the sun all year round, but was abruptly stopped by Ah Cheng's question.The seemingly ordinary words were the most tactful reminder Ah Cheng gave him.He was startled by the uncontrollable nervousness and worry in his heart, and wanted to indulge his anger once more.He slowly turned half of his body to look at Ah Cheng, and at the people from the Wang puppet government who were hurrying in the corridor. He thought about the meaning of the word "walk and walk" for himself, and nodded slowly but firmly: "Let's...take the car."

Ah Cheng didn't ask Minglou where he was going, he asked Minglou to stand alone on the steps and wait.Filled up the car in front of him, and dusted the front and back seats with a feather duster.Ming Lou didn't urge him, and the people coming and going were all watching this scene strangely, and for a while, no one dared to go up to say hello to Chief Ming.

After everything was settled, Ah Cheng drove the car over every street in Shanghai he knew with a general sense of direction.The place where I rode a bicycle in my childhood, the place where my elder brother took him by the hand and took him there, now I will take a look at the changed years from the perspective of a grown-up. It is always funny, kind, and Familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar.Have I really been here, what have I taken with me, and what have I left behind?It's been half a year since I came back, but I haven't had time to take a good look at the city again, so let's do it today.

Today, all the fragments of the inability to let go of their own cruelty that burst out of their bodies are scattered into the city they are rushing to protect.

Ah Cheng kept looking at the road ahead of the car, while Ming Lou kept looking at the people outside the car window.The two of them didn't say a word along the way. The car drove over the Waibaidu Bridge, passed through the Town God's Temple, and passed the Catholic Church. Clear, from firm to firmer.

"I've been driving for three hours. I kept braking and shifting gears. My hands and feet are sore. I'm tired. Let's take a break."

Ming Lou moved his eyes from the right window to the left window, looked at Guo Qiyun's photo studio from a distance, curled his lips, and said with a smile: "Ah Cheng, I haven't taken pictures for many years. This year's Chinese New Year is a rare reunion without taking a family portrait." , why don't you take some free time these few days and call the eldest sister Mingtai to come here and take a picture."

"Okay, it's good to come here to shoot. If you don't shoot well, you can openly refuse to pay."

"that's right."

Minglou got off the car and went to a public telephone booth on the road, opened the door, picked up the receiver and dialed the number of Du Mansion.The person who answered the phone only heard four indifferent and concise words: I am Minglou.

Wan Molin had tied Yu Manli for four hours, and three hours after dialing the phone to Minglou's office, he heard Minglou's voice. The background sounded extremely noisy, as if he was on the road.He couldn't be sure, for a second, he even wondered if he had tied up the wrong person.

"Mr. Ming, where is this?"

"On the way to Du Mansion."

Minglou was leaning against the door of the telephone booth. He saw Ah Cheng also get out of the car, leaning against the car and looking at him.The black car that followed them around most of Shanghai Beach was parked not far away.

"Mr. Ming, the Du mansion is not your government building. You can come here whenever you want."

The voice over there was unsteady as if he had raised his breath too much and then let it down suddenly. Minglou suddenly felt much better.

"Then when do you want to?"

"Tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon."

"I don't have time tomorrow afternoon, let's do it tomorrow night. I'm not sure what time it is, wait until I finish what I should do for the day."

"What?" Wan Molin didn't realize all of a sudden, he only saw that he was anxious to see the hostage as soon as possible, but he had never heard that the time was delayed more and more by himself: "Minglou, that's you woman, more than 24 hours, I don't guarantee it's still not complete."

Minglou's hand holding the receiver was full of veins, and he sneered coldly: "Since you are not allowed to see me now, I just have time to go to No. 76. There are 30 people, and I can take them apart to play. The tools in No. 76 It must be more complete than yours."

Wan Molin gasped.Isn't he a scholar from Paris?The Ming family is a merchant, when did someone more rogue than them come out.

"How dare you?! If Mr. Du says a word, the Japanese will not spare you."

"You take off my clothes, I'll take off your siblings. Reciprocity. Also, I, Minglou, hate being threatened the most!"

He hung up the phone, took two deep breaths outside the phone booth, and then walked towards Ah Cheng.

"How is it?" Ah Cheng looked at his face, a little worried.

Minglou lowered his eyebrows and looked at his two outstretched palms, right and wrong, anyway, right and wrong.He said: "I'll trap her in Wang Manchun's car at the back. You can drive the car away and inform Mingtai and Guo Qiyun that they will save her tomorrow night."

"Save people? Yu... What happened to Yu Manli? Isn't it an exchange of hostages? You have to wait until tomorrow to save people, you can't figure it out?" To save someone?

"Who said they saved Manli? I don't believe they dared to touch her!"

"Then who are you saving?" Ah Cheng turned sideways, blocking the other side of Minglou, blocking all the sights from the black car in the distance behind him.

"Those people in No. 76. There are 30 people. Even if Wang Manchun is released, they will not be thrown out all at once. She can't bear it. It must be loose and give a way to escape, or send it out in batches. You give Liang Zhongchun also said hello, Mingtai and the others don’t need to go inside No. 76, just lie in ambush outside.” Minglou figured it out by himself, calmed down, and reached out to pat Ah Cheng’s shoulder: “Tell them, No matter what they do, in the end the one who sends people back to Dumen must be someone from the military command. Even if Du Yuesheng is choking on this favor, he has to eat it, and the yellow croaker has to spit it out for me."

Ah Cheng slowly understood, and looked at his elder brother's expression and burst out laughing: "You are the one who is angry that he touched you! But you were the one who touched him first? You are really... stingy, stingy! "

Minglou's expression was gloomy: "Injuries are inevitable, why don't you ask them for some medical expenses?"

A word of injury, Minglou bit it extremely hard, and rubbed his hands hard.Ah Cheng no longer teased him, he understood that this injury was not only caused by Yu Manli this time, but also by the time when the Ming family had an accident 20 years ago, and even the pain of the elder sister who was crawling and laughing alone all these years of.In the final analysis, Minglou protects his shortcomings and also remembers family feuds.He said that the only thing that can hurt me is the family I care about, the country I value.These people these things, I can knock out teeth and swallow blood.Others, why!

Wang Manchun didn't expect Minglou to come directly into her car, and she was nervously at a loss when she opened the door.She had been following his car from outside the new government building. She wanted to see what her senior brother would do if something happened to Yu Manli.Will he get angry, will he ignore it, or... just exile her.

"Brother" she called nervously.

Minglou glanced at her, put his hand to his mouth to silence his voice, and shook his head.He didn't touch her, and didn't blame her, just sat in the back seat very tiredly, leaning his head on the back of the seat.

"Use your place to rest for a while, don't talk. When I wake up, I will tell you where to go and how to do it."

After he finished explaining, he really closed his eyes and didn't speak.Wang Manchun asked the driver to get out of the car to wait, and sat next to him, watching his sleeping face without moving, unwilling to move, unwilling to break this rare quiet relationship.

During the 3-hour trip to Shanghai, at first she was seriously checking whether she was going to some special place or if there was any intelligence information. After driving, she realized that it was purely aimless, and her spirit was also disturbed. Just relax.This relaxation reminded her of many past events.Sitting on the bumpy cobblestone road behind the bicycle rack, the sugar man bought from the roadside stall, the promise to live under which old tree...Although now, the embrace is gone, the sugar man is premature, and the promise is with the wind, but she still remembers all of these.She was sitting in the car, counting silently with her fingers one by one.She was also confused for a moment, if she listened to her brother and stopped now, could she really become that Wang Manchun with two braids and jumping rubber bands?

Now, he is sitting next to her.She looked at his gaze from soft to slowly convergent.

Really, only in time, only in the passage of time can we realize that the people in the memory finally become the people in the story.
