Hibiscus blooms on the edge of the city wall

After the eldest sister was arrested and returned to No. 76, the atmosphere at home has been weird, and today it finally returned to normal.So Mingfu was in a particularly good mood today, so she pulled Xu Rumei out of the house.

"Miss Ming Er, why did you come to visit me for shopping today?" Xu Rumei asked curiously.

"It will be the New Year in a while, I'll go to the street to pick some New Year's gifts." Mingfu said with a smile.

"Oh, have you decided what to buy?"

"I don't know, I don't have a clue." Mingfu's face was full of confusion.

"Then choose slowly, anyway, there is still some time before the New Year..." Xu Rumei was talking when he suddenly saw a familiar figure, who seemed to be Mingfu's younger brother Mingtai, but there was a figure beside him Graceful woman. "Xiaofu, I think I saw your little brother."

"No, the universities in Hong Kong are not on holiday yet, so how could he be in Shanghai? Are you delusional?" Ming Fu said in disbelief.

Xu Rumei's experience told her that she was absolutely right, so she didn't tell Ming Fu more, pulled her, quickened her pace, and followed.

Mingtai and Yu Manli sensed that someone was following them, and at the same time quickened their pace, and came to the photo studio where Guo Qiyun used to hide their identities, and told Guo Qiyun who was on the way: "Stop the two women behind." Then he dragged Yu Manli upstairs quickly.

Xu Rumei and Mingfu tracked to the vicinity of the photo studio, but Minglou disappeared.

"Where's the person?" Mingfu asked.

Xu Rumei looked up at the photo studio, hesitated for a moment, and pushed the door open.

"Two young ladies taking a picture?" Guo Qiyun came over to greet him like a little boss.

Xu Rumei looked around and didn't speak.

"Sir, may I ask if a young man and woman came in just now?" Ming Fu asked modestly and politely.

"No, no one came in just now." Guo Qiyun replied.

Xu Rumei observed Guo Qiyun carefully, and told her intuitively that this person was lying, Xu Rumei touched Mingfu's hand quietly, and looked towards the stairs.

"Boss, can we go upstairs to have a look?" Xu Rumei was about to go upstairs, but was stopped by Guo Qiyun. "Sorry, ladies, the clothes upstairs are all wedding dresses."

"Ah, she is going to get married soon, and she wants to take her wedding photos in a few days. Come over today to look at her clothes, okay?" Mingfu said with a smile.

"Ah, then congratulations to this lady, but I'm afraid it's inconvenient to do an inventory in the store today, or if the lady comes with your husband some other day, the store will give you a [-]% discount, what do you think?" Guo Qiyun smiled. The kindness, but always refused to give in.

Mingfu and Xu Rumei looked at each other, knowing that there would be no answer today, and there was no point in entanglement, so they retreated angrily.

Mingtai kept watching from the window on the second floor, and didn't go downstairs until he saw Mingfu leaving.

"What? Master Ming met an old lover?" Yu Manli asked jealously.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mingtai retorted, "The one in the blue coat is my sister, Mingfu."

"Then who's that in the beige suit?"

"That's my sister's handkerchief, Xu Rumei."

"Yo, childhood sweetheart?"

"What kind of childhood sweetheart, it's almost the same as falling flowers, flowing water and ruthlessness." Mingtai pouted, walked to the table and sat down.

"Then who is the flowing water and who is the falling flower?" Yu Manli asked.

"It's no one, it's endless. Let's get down to business." Mingtai waved his hand and said impatiently.

After Mingfu and Xu Rumei came out of the photo studio, they still felt that that person should be Mingtai, and with such a big matter in their hearts, they naturally lost the desire to go shopping.

Mingfu's heart was very confused, she was basically sure from the attitude of the owner of the photo studio that that person was Mingtai, but why did he avoid her?Why do you want to go back to Shanghai?when did he come back?Why don't you go home when you go back to Shanghai?What did he do when he returned to Shanghai?Are you just coming back for a few days, or are you staying in Shanghai all the time?Is he the same as his elder brother?Minfu was overwhelmed by one question after another.

What Xu Ru had in mind was even more complicated. According to her experience and intuition, Mingtai returned to Shanghai secretly, but what was his identity?Military command?Zhongtong?Underground party?Or a Japanese spy?Should this matter be reported to the organization?

The two were walking on the street with their own thoughts, Xu Ru raised his eyebrows, and happened to see Uncle Li sitting by the window in the cafe across the street, looking at him, beckoning him to go over.

"Little Fu, I suddenly remembered that I still have something to do. Anyway, I'm not in the mood to go shopping today, why don't you go home first." Xu Rumei said.

"Okay, where are you going?" Mingfu nodded without comment.

"I have something to do, you go back first." Xu Rumei told Mingfu again, but did not tell her where she was going.

"Well then, you go home early, too."

"En." Xu Ru nodded.Then he left first, hid himself at the turning in front of him, and watched Minfu leave before entering the cafe.

"You leave for Suzhou immediately. Your new identity is Shirota Keiko, a doctor who went to Nanjing on the Sakura special train. The task is to get the documents about the Japanese army's strategic deployment of the Northeast Anhui and Huaihai areas before the train blows up. "Uncle Li said in a low voice.

"Myself?" Xu Rumei lacked confidence.

"Is there a problem?" Uncle Li asked back.

"No problem." Xu Ru shook his head.

"The time is urgent. It is too late to find other comrades who can speak Japanese. Only you can complete this task."

"I promise to complete the task." Xu Ru nodded and said in a low voice.
