Chapter 659 [Pretender 20]
After Ming Lou and Ah Cheng returned home, Ming Tai was furious and punched Ah Cheng in the face, then quickly pulled out a pistol and pointed it at Ming Lou. The atmosphere instantly became tense, and Ah Cheng raised his pistol without showing any weakness and confronted Ming Tai.
Suddenly, a gunshot broke the silence, and Mingtai's bullet flew past Minglou's ear. However, Mingtai's anger did not subside, and he began to destroy the items in the house crazily, and fought fiercely with his eldest brother Minglou until he fell to the ground exhausted.
Mingtai was still furious, but Minglou no longer paid attention to him and turned away to help Acheng treat his wounds.
When Mingtai's emotions gradually calmed down, he finally regained his sanity. He pushed open the door, greeted his eldest brother Acheng, and then walked silently to the kitchen to prepare a meal for the three of them.
At the dinner table, Ming Lou calmly said that he had figured out how to explain it all to his elder sister. He suggested telling her that Ming Tai had been expelled from HKU for violating school rules.
Mingtai firmly opposed this proposal, but Minglou seriously pointed out that from the moment he decided to follow the madman away, he should have anticipated such consequences. In this way, although he would be blamed by his elder sister, at least Mingtai could stay by his side, which made him feel at ease.
After dinner, Mingtai went to talk to Minglou with a heavy heart. Minglou looked at his exhausted family and said helplessly: "Does it have to be today? Everyone is tired."
Mingtai answered stubbornly: "But I can't sleep."
Ming Lou sighed and could only ask his willful brother seriously, "Do you remember the watch you lost during the operation?" Then, he told him the whole story of the operation in detail.
However, Mingtai sensitively felt that there were many loopholes in his elder brother's explanation.
Despite this, when Minglou once again emphasized that they were behind enemy lines and any action must guarantee a 100% success rate, otherwise the Military Control Commission's Shanghai Intelligence Station would face the danger of being annihilated again, he reluctantly accepted this explanation, stopped asking questions, and quietly left Minglou's room.
In the dead of night, when everyone had fallen asleep, Mingtai cleaned the whole house silently. The next morning, when Minglou and Acheng were getting ready to go to work, Acheng gave Mingtai a list of items that needed to be purchased and asked him to buy the damaged items.
Liang Zhongchun, director of the No. 76 Operations Department, rushed to Minglou's office in a hurry and slammed the door shut, his face full of guilt: "Brother, I'm sorry, it's all my fault for scaring you!"
Ming Lou waved his hand and motioned him to sit down: "This is really not your fault. The problem lies with me."
He took a deep breath, his eyes revealing determination and resoluteness, "Someone wants to kill me, but they must pay for it!"
On the other side, Mingtai was selecting paintings in a gallery, when suddenly he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure from the corner of his eye - Secretary Li, who had followed him before and remembered his back and voice.
Mingtai's heart was alarmed, and he realized that the situation was not good, so he quickly put down the scroll in his hand and turned to leave the gallery. However, Secretary Li had already noticed something unusual, and he immediately sent his men to guard the door of the department store and reported the situation to Wang Manchun at No. 76 by phone. In this way, Mingtai was trapped in Taishan Department Store and could not get out. After Wang Manchun learned the news, she told Jinse and asked Jinse to save Mingtai.
At this moment, Mingtai's mind was reverberating with Wang Tianfeng's words: If the voice and back of a spy are remembered by others, then this is undoubtedly the most dangerous thing for him. And now, he is facing such a dilemma. He knows that the first thing he should do is to escape from the scene as soon as possible and get rid of the current dilemma. Only in this way can he protect the safety of himself and the organization.
At this time, Mingtai had changed into a worker's uniform, grabbed the edge of the window, and quickly left the department store, blending into the bustling crowd. He kept thinking about what Wang Tianfeng had said to him, that if the action was discovered, he would either disappear completely or make the other party disappear completely. So, he began to quietly approach Secretary Li, thinking about how to get rid of him in the chaos.
On the other side, Jinse had already disguised herself and was waiting for the best opportunity. After Secretary Li was killed, she immediately pulled Mingtai up and left without hesitation.
When Wang Manchun rushed to the scene, Secretary Li had already died. She observed the scene with keen eyes and judged that the assassination was probably carried out by two people. She carefully picked up the evidence left at the scene - the clothes left by the suspect. Wang Manchun knew that Mingtai had been successfully rescued by Jinse.
At the same time, Minglou and Acheng were nervously analyzing the situation. They learned that their elder sister Mingjing was about to return to Shanghai from Suzhou, and decided to keep all radio stations silent for the time being.
Then, Minglou instructed Acheng to arrange for a tabloid to publish news about Mingtai's debauchery and put the newspaper in Mingjing's room.
Ah Cheng couldn't help but sigh: "You are going to light a fire!"
Minglou smiled slightly and nodded to show his agreement.
Ming Jing returned home angrily. As soon as she entered the house, she saw the newspaper and the notice of expulsion from HKU on the table. She was immediately furious and shouted at Ming Tai, "How dare you go to such a dirty place! Do you know how much trouble your elder brother went through to get you into HKU? I sent you to France and then to Hong Kong because I hoped you could have a good future. But what about you? Are you worthy of your dead mother?"
Mingtai was frightened by Mingjing's scolding. He could not explain his behavior and could only look at Minglou helplessly.
Mingjing was tired of arguing, so she turned back to her room and asked Minglou to punish Mingtai according to the law.
Mingtai knew he was in the wrong and had to accept the punishment obediently.
Minglou picked up the whip and whipped Mingtai hard. Mingtai deliberately screamed miserably to show that he was severely punished.
At this time, Aunt Gui heard the noise and came over. She pleaded, "Young Master, please show mercy." However, Minglou beat her even harder.
Later, Minglou was on the phone in the living room. Aunt Gui walked into the room with a bowl of porridge. When she saw Minglou, Minglou deliberately made a veiled criticism of Ah Cheng, saying, "Some people may appear loyal and honest on the surface, but in fact they have ulterior motives. We must not be fooled by their appearance and must always be vigilant."
Aunt Gui heard the hidden meaning. She looked at Ah Cheng with pretended sympathy, then quietly left the room.
While Minglou was away, Aunt Gui finally found an opportunity to be alone with Ah Cheng. She pointed out without hesitation that what Minglou had just said was actually directed at Ah Cheng.
In order to get closer to each other, Aunt Gui even talked about the past with tears in her eyes, explaining why she adopted Ah Cheng and later abused him, and sincerely asked Ah Cheng to forgive her.
After hearing this, Acheng said that he needed some time to digest all this.
Aunt Gui replied: "Mom will always wait for you."
At the same time, Minglou went to visit Mingtai and had a heart-to-heart talk with him.
Ming Lou said with emotion: "You may not understand that when that madman kidnapped you, my heart was filled with anger and murderous intent, but if you didn't want to stand out, how could you be caught by him? In addition, when I sent people to rescue you, you resolutely chose to stay. This shows that deep in your heart, you are always full of passion to serve the country. Now, the situation has become more and more tense, and we must always remain vigilant and never relax."
While the two were talking, Aunt Gui came in with a bowl of hot soup. Minglou immediately changed the subject and asked Mingtai about his future plans.
"Mingtai, do you have any plans for the future?" Minglou looked at Mingtai seriously.
Mingtai said frankly: "Brother, I want to go into business."
Ming Lou nodded and said without hesitation: "Okay, then I will hand over my flour mill to you to manage, you have to work hard!"
After that, Ming Lou gently touched Ming Tai's head and said with concern: "Why does it feel a little hot? Aunt Gui, go get some antipyretic medicine for Ming Tai."
After Aunt Gui left, Minglou and Mingtai were the only ones left in the room.
Ming Lou lowered his voice and said to Ming Tai: "The situation has been tense recently. I need the team you lead to remain silent for the time being. If one day one of us is unfortunately arrested, I believe you know how to deal with it."
Mingtai nodded firmly: "I know, sir."
Ming Lou patted Ming Tai on the shoulder and said earnestly, "Okay, stay normal and don't arouse anyone's suspicion."
Mingtai smiled and replied, "Okay, big brother."
Minglou quickly walked to his elder sister Mingjing's room, and as soon as he entered the door, he couldn't wait to explain the reason for Mingtai's mistake.
He said, "Sister, don't be angry. The reason why Mingtai did these ridiculous things is because he loves home too much."
Then he continued, "Moreover, recently someone called us slaves of a conquered nation, and he has been holding a grudge against us. In addition, he had a high fever, so he made a mistake on impulse."
When Mingjing heard this, she felt distressed and quickly blamed Minglou: "I told you to discipline him well, but I didn't ask you to beat him so hard! And you don't let him eat, do you want to starve him to death?" After saying that, she quickly got up and ran towards Mingtai's room.
The next morning, Acheng reported to Minglou that Aunt Gui had come to see him yesterday and confessed to him what she had done in the past.
Ming Lou smiled slightly after hearing this and instructed: "Then follow her wishes and let her think that you really believe her."
Ah Cheng asked with some concern: "Will there be any problem with doing this?"
Ming Lou answered confidently: "Don't worry, there will be no problem. She doesn't know that her way to Wang Manchun has been completely blocked by us."
