Chapter 643 [Pretender 4]
A few days later, Minglou came to the Shanghai office of the Wang Puppet Regime to take up his post. When he got out of the car, he saw Wang Manchun coming to greet him. The two met again after a long time, and their faces were filled with joyful smiles. They began to talk about the past, as if no time had passed.
During the conversation, Minglou suddenly asked, "Manchun, so many years have passed, do you have a boyfriend?" This sentence was like a flash of lightning that broke through the silent night sky, and the whole room fell into silence.
Wang Manchun was slightly startled, a trace of barely perceptible surprise flashed across her face, and then she replied lightly: "Yes." Her voice was flat and calm, as if she was talking about a trivial matter. However, these two simple words were like a sharp dagger, piercing Minglou's heart.
Ming Lou looked at Wang Manchun, his eyes revealing deep confusion and loss. He once thought that time would change everything, but now it seems that Wang Manchun still loves him deeply. However, her answer shocked him. He couldn't help asking, "Who is that? Do you have time to take me to meet him?" His tone was full of expectation, hoping to meet this lucky person.
Wang Manchun said expressionlessly: "There's no need to see him, he's dead." Her voice was cold and ruthless, as if she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her. However, Minglou caught a glimpse of indescribable sadness in her eyes, a kind of unspeakable pain.
"Dead? How did he die?" Minglou asked curiously. He tried to understand the pain in Wang Manchun's heart.
"I killed him myself," Wang Manchun said, her voice low and firm, as if announcing her determination to the world. She looked straight at Minglou, without the slightest dodging or evasion.
"Manchun, you have changed a lot." Minglou sighed, with a hint of helplessness and sadness in his voice. His eyes became dim and his face showed a painful expression. He could no longer understand Wang Manchun in front of him. She was no longer the bright girl who only had eyes for him. Now she had become an executioner in the hands of the Japanese, like a sharp knife, deeply inserted into the body of her compatriot. The distance between them was getting farther and farther, as if they were in two different worlds.
Manchun was stunned when she heard this, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She looked at Minglou, her mouth slightly raised, revealing a bitter smile, "Yes, so many years have passed, things have changed, everything has changed, I have changed, and you, brother, have not changed too?" There was a hint of self-mockery and helplessness in her tone.
Ming Lou's heart tightened when he heard this, and he smiled unnaturally, trying to hide his inner uneasiness. "How could that be?" he said softly, revealing a trace of guilt in his voice. He didn't dare to look directly into Wang Manchun's eyes, for fear that she would see through his thoughts.
Wang Manchun looked Minglou up and down, her eyes full of disgust and dissatisfaction: "Look, senior brother, you used to be such a handsome young man, but now, you have become a greasy uncle. Senior brother, look at your big belly, you look like a pregnant woman! If you continue like this, you will get uglier and uglier! So many years have passed, and you are still the same, without any change." As she spoke, she gestured at Minglou's belly with her hand, with an expression of disgust on her face.
Ming Lou felt a sense of loss when he heard this. He originally thought that he was a charming man, but now he was belittled by Wang Manchun. He couldn't help but think of his handsome self in the past. At that time, he was slim and handsome, and was loved by women. But now, the traces of time have been deeply engraved on his face, making him look a little old and tired.
However, Wang Manchun did not give up and continued to mock: "Senior brother, look at your big belly. If you don't lose weight, you will be uglier. You must be single after all these years, no wonder you are so fat. Who would like a fat man?" Her words were like a sharp knife, piercing Minglou's heart.
Ming Lou suddenly felt depressed and extremely upset. He didn't expect that the once gentle and kind Wang Manchun would become like this. Not only was she sharp-tongued, but she was also unreasonable. Facing Wang Manchun's accusations, Ming Lou could only smile helplessly and secretly vowed to lose weight and restore his former elegance.
Minami Yoko came out to smooth things over, with a flattering smile on her face, and said in a brisk tone: "Director Wang, please stop teasing Officer Ming. To use the Chinese language, Officer Ming is so fat because he is so rich." As she spoke, she secretly glanced at Ming Lou, as if trying to read something from his expression. However, Ming Lou's expression did not change at all, and he still maintained that indifferent look.
Hearing this, Ming Lou's heart suddenly sank. He knew that although Minami Yoko's words seemed to help him out, they actually put him in a more embarrassing situation. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly that this woman was really good at talking, and she could force people into a desperate situation with just one sentence. However, Ming Lou was a battle-hardened figure after all. He quickly regained his composure, with a barely perceptible smile on his face, and responded: "Ms. Minami, you are too kind. I am just an ordinary person. How can I be considered rich?"
Minglou's heart was in turmoil. He thought to himself, "I really don't know how to describe this Minami Yoko. If you can't speak, then don't speak. No one thinks you are dumb." But on the surface, he still maintained his elegant appearance and dealt with them.
Wang Manchun was secretly pleased with herself, this Minami Yoko was really good at talking.
On the other side, Ming Lou's younger brother Ming Tai was on a plane to study at the University of Hong Kong. He didn't know that this flight would change the trajectory of his life.
On the plane, Mingtai accidentally rescued Wang Tianfeng, a senior military official. Wang Tianfeng was impressed by Mingtai's bravery and wit and believed that he had the potential to become an excellent agent. So Wang Tianfeng decided to take Mingtai under his command.
However, Mingtai was unwilling to become a member of the Military Control Commission. He firmly rejected Wang Tianfeng's invitation and expressed his hope to continue his studies. Wang Tianfeng refused to give up easily and ordered his men to kidnap Mingtai to the Military Control Commission training class in an attempt to persuade him to join.
Mingtai showed strong rebellious emotions in the training class. He refused to obey orders and even threatened Wang Tianfeng that if he didn't let him go, his sister would definitely find him.
But Wang Tianfeng responded fearlessly: "Your sister won't be able to find you." It turned out that Wang Tianfeng had already arranged everything. He sent someone to impersonate Mingtai and register for school at the University of Hong Kong, making the outside world mistakenly believe that Mingtai had started a normal university life.
Mingtai felt helpless in the face of Wang Tianfeng's tough attitude. Wang Tianfeng not only used power and force to force him, but also tried to persuade him with national justice. In the end, Mingtai had to compromise and agreed to join the military training camp for training. But he put forward a condition, which was to call home to report safety.
After hearing what Mingtai said, Wang Tianfeng realized that this was indeed a big problem and he had to find a way to solve it quickly. So he urged Mingtai to call Mingjing immediately.
Mingtai picked up the phone and listened to his sister's concerned voice. He felt sad and almost cried. He suppressed his emotions and told his sister that everything was fine. He also promised to call home every two weeks to report that he was safe. Then, he hung up the phone hastily, saying that he had to go to class.
Wang Tianfeng looked at Mingtai and a satisfied smile appeared on his face after he finished the call.
In the following days, Mingtai began to accept various cruel trainings. One day, he violated the rules and secretly ran to his suitcase to take out the pocket watch left by his mother. However, this action was discovered by the instructor, who severely reprimanded him to put the things back to their original place, otherwise he would be punished. Mingtai was very reluctant, but he did not dare to disobey the order, so he could only wrestle with the instructor. In the end, he successfully took back his pocket watch with his tenacious will and agility.
The sun shines through the window. Minglou and Mingjing sit together with their friends and chat happily. They flip through an old photo album and recall the past. The album is full of photos of their brothers and sisters, each of which carries precious memories. When they see the photos of Mingtai and Mingcheng, they feel a deep longing in their hearts.
At this time, Ming Lou's assistant Ah Cheng called. Ming Tai's voice came from the other end of the phone. Ming Tai was receiving agent training at this time and was suddenly called to the communication room to answer the phone. Ah Cheng asked about the weather in Hong Kong, but he keenly noticed something strange. Because there was a person next to him who was staring at him and kept writing tips on the question board.
Ah Cheng became alert, realizing that Mingtai might be in trouble, so he asked Mingtai what the noise was, and Mingtai could only look at the observer helplessly and make up a lie that it was the sound of his classmates making blackboard newspapers.
After hanging up the phone, Ah Cheng frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He decided to call the University of Hong Kong in person to verify it. After some inquiries, he came to the conclusion: Mingtai had an accident!
Worried, Ah Cheng immediately went to Ming Lou and told him about his discovery. Ming Lou was horrified and said angrily, "That Wang Tianfeng is simply a lunatic!"
Ming Lou's face turned gloomy, and his eyes revealed deep worry. He knew Wang Tianfeng's methods and madness, and was worried that Ming Tai would meet with an unexpected accident. He was determined to take action to protect Ming Tai's safety. A tense rescue plan was about to begin...
