However, when she looked from the bow to the stern, there was no one waiting for her, and her smile stiffened.

Maybe they can't squeeze those prime years of life?

Li Fengzhu felt flustered, but she could only think like this, and she could only comfort herself like this. However, the pounding heart could not be calmed at all, and his face was red with anxiety.

Everyone reunited after a long absence, hugged each other excitedly, and then shook each other's hands and left happily. This time, Li Fengzhu had room to move around, she walked briskly and ran quickly, and looked around from the stern to the bow of the boat. After running three or five steps, one or two chestnuts fell in his arms. She squatted down to pick it up, and when she found the bow of the boat, she couldn't care about it anymore, so she simply let go of her hands, grabbed the crew and asked one by one: "Have all the people come down?" There is also an old lady on the ship, with a ten-year-old child, there should be a ......" Li Fengzhu raised a hand, raising it all the way from her small belly to her chest, "It's so high." Have you seen it?"

For a large ship carrying passengers and cargo, there was more than a couple of guests in this situation, and the crew shook their heads and ran away in a hurry.

Just when Li Fengzhu was at a loss and wanted to rush to the boat, and asked until he reached the captain's room, a familiar figure limped down at the next step of the sunset.

The woman was old, her temples were covered with silver threads to the top of her forehead, and a few tufts of hair stood up in the sky. The long journey made her look tired, her eyes were red, and her face was furrowed. She should be followed by a half-grown teenager, who has received some education and is a little sven, and because her self-consciousness is gradually hazy, her eyes will reveal a trace of rebellious loneliness and rebelliousness in her immaturity.

This picture, in the dream world, has appeared countless times. Li Fengzhu practiced over and over again, not in a hurry to get close, not demanding to be close, and at the first moment of meeting, he simply hugged him. In the days to come, we will slowly feel each other from a relationship that is slightly closer than friends, and then return to a normal mother-child relationship.

The woman hung her head and walked over, her mouth opened wide but she couldn't howl, her voice was completely hoarse: "Girl, I can't stop you......" Her knees were weak, half of her body had lost her fulcrum, and the whole person fell into Li Fengzhu's arms.

The faces of the tourists, the faces of the crew, the faces of the commanders on the docks who waved their chess pieces to evacuate the crowd, as long as they were faces from the West, they all became the same abomination. It was Johnson who shrugged his beard and smirked after he had a trick.

It's been counted again, isn't it?

At this moment, Li Fengzhu's heart was half of a cold fear, and half of it was about to get out of control. Her eyes widened, and she pulled back all the tears from her sockets.

While looking around at the suspicious figures, Li Fengzhu firmly grabbed the body of the old lady Li, never allowing her to kneel, and gritted his teeth in her ear: "Stand up...... Stand up. I'll let you stand still!"

Mrs. Li thought she didn't understand what she meant, so she just cried in a hoarse voice: "Shunshun, our baby is obedient to him, he lost ......"

"Calm down!" Li Fengzhu hugged her hard, "Go home first, I know where to find it." ”

"You know?" asked the old lady Li rhetorically, so surprised that she forgot to cry, "How do you know......? Unless, unless he ...... He's not a kidnapper? Isn't it...... No, it has to be you! Did you write something in the newspaper again?"

There are two mothers and daughters, one of whom provoked the evil of his means, and the other who lost the child under his nose, and each of them has to bear considerable responsibility for this matter. The two stared at each other, both of them looking like they wanted to talk and stopped.

The old lady Li pulled up a piece of her clothes, rubbed it on her face, and then moved her mouth, as if she was about to shout out and further rebuke the truth.

Seeing this, Li Fengzhu stretched out his palm to cover her mouth and nose, and asked in a breathy voice, "Do you want the child to go home?" ”

The old lady Li couldn't speak, and could only make a slight nasal voice through the gap between her fingers. The pupils were as big as brass bells, and frustration, fear, suddenness, and anger were all written in them.

"Don't ask anything, don't say anything, come home with me. Once you're settled, you can stay home and wait for news. Li Fengzhu didn't want to be seen by the people on the dock, even if it was just passers-by. Then he lowered his face and leaned on his mother's shoulder, saying that he was pleading but threatening, "This is your greatest help to me! Otherwise, ......"

She knew that there was no way back for her. She had to hold her head high and play her fearless side to the extreme, even to the point of being cold-blooded and ruthless. Because a person who has been completely defeated mentally has no way out except to be a puppet. Only by letting Johnson feel that this plan continues to be carried out, I am afraid that he can only get a dead ending, and then he will have a pitiful chance of winning.

The idea was so, but tears dripped down the shoulders of the old lady Li with their own opinions. Li Fengzhu hurriedly raised his hand and covered the tears with force. As a result, cold teardrops fell on his hands.

I didn't know until the end of the day, saying that the child was a piece of meat that fell from the mother's body, not only is it not an exaggeration, but it is even far from serious, and the child is clearly the mother's internal organs, everything. To lose the child is to drain her entire heart and liver, and to take away her seven souls and six souls.

It was in this state of mind that Li Fengzhu took his mother's arm, like a reckless foreigner who had just come to Jinmen, and ran around the dock a few times before he reluctantly went around the street and got into a rickshaw.

Mrs. Li put the bag on the saddle, threw out a corner of the sleeve in the bag, and embroidered a row of three buttons on it, which is a uniform style.

Li Fengzhu hurriedly bent down and carefully tucked his sleeves. Through the crack, he held the sleeve for a long time and refused to let go, stupidly imagining that what he was pinching was his son's small hands. After a while, there was a burst of sourness in his eyes.

"We went all the way, and there was a typhoon chasing us all the way, and I threw up all the way. Shunshun is a child in the end, his body and bones are better than mine, he ......" said the old lady Li, her voice began to tremble again, and tears fell like sand, "He is still very well-behaved, and he knows how to speak and can speak, he is in a hurry to help me find medicine......"

Li Fengzhu felt a little comforted in his heart, but the more he felt comforted, the more heartache he felt, and he could hardly listen to it, so he could only interrupt it: "From the time he was lost." ”

Mrs. Li was not convinced: "That's what I'm talking about! I'm almost unaware of what happened, I just remember what island we docked on for a day, many people got on the boat, and many people got off the boat." Shunshun he has been taking care of me, helping me with food and medicine, and then he, he said that he would write you a letter to tell you that the ship is coming in the afternoon, so that you don't have to come early in the morning and wait. And then ......"

There was no tangible evidence, but Li Fengzhu listened to it and strengthened his judgment that this matter was premeditated.

She carefully recalled every encounter with Johnson, and the process of saying good things was very important to the interests of both sides. Johnson's original intention was not to cooperate, he was so stingy that he only wanted to manipulate her with his clever tongue. This is Li Fengzhu will never agree, she asked Johnson to come forward to make a statement, and the British Ministry of Industry will no longer have a bad relationship with her.

It wasn't a harsh proposal, but it did go against Johnson's unassailable desire for control. When privilege and plunder become the norm, equality is ridiculously defined as "offense." As a result, the unwilling Johnson decided to resort to the obscene tricks he was good at, trying to turn equal cooperation back to unilateral dictates again.

Yes, that's what happened! The bell must be tied to the bell, and negotiating with Johnson is the only useful way.

Li Fengzhu made up his mind and sent his mother to a small apartment that had been negotiated in the French Concession in advance.

I would make this arrangement because I didn't want to take my family with me to live in the dormitory. On the one hand, I hope that my grandparents and grandchildren will live more comfortably, and on the other hand, I am also worried that Mrs. Li's hospitability will cause chaos sooner or later. It's just that in the current situation, it is already ironic to talk about any kind of chaos. Li Fengzhu opened the door of the apartment and secretly sneered at himself.

The house is not big, and it is easy to see where to cook and where to shower, and it seems that there is no need to explain too much. Especially when the reunion is empty, the haze envelops the mother and daughter, and no one has the heart to talk about life.

When he went out, Li Fengzhu was next to the door frame and couldn't help crying in a low voice. Finally, for safety, she quietly turned the key in her hand and locked the door.

###

It's not difficult to find Johnson at dinner, not to mention that he needs Li Fengzhu to do things for him now. Therefore, it was easy to call him to the small private room of the Li Shunde Hotel.

Johnson, who had been prepared for the meeting, came in high spirits. This kind of scene is like a sharp knife poking at the deepest part of Li Fengzhu's heart. She slapped the case angrily and asked directly: "What do you mean?"

This is undoubtedly a basin of cold water for Johnson, blocking everything he wants to express. He was a little angry, and at the same time knew that he had a deep relationship with Li Fengzhu in the past, and it was not easy to turn around. Therefore, he gritted his teeth and smiled, and spread his hand to make a puzzled look: "Misili, are you still not satisfied with this?"

"Do you think you are a God who everyone has to please? Cooperation is equal, and it is normal for me to make a small request. But you don't even allow this, and even make further threats, you are too arrogant!" Li Fengzhu has interviewed some kidnapping cases, understands a little about the psychology of kidnappers, and also understands Johnson, so he is not as submissive as ordinary victims' families.

In addition, she had reports on the illegal encroachment of the Great Powers on areas outside the concession, which must have been of interest to Johnson. But she will not go along with the evil because she is threatened by the villain, and she will not betray progressive journalists, including Shi Chu. The strategy she wanted to use was to find Johnson first and tell him that only one original copy of the investigation had been left in the Jinmen Papers. After convincing him, stabilizing him, and ensuring that he would not abuse Xiao Rufu, he immediately consulted with Shi Chu to create a certain illusion and round up Li Fengzhu's lie. Trying to get people out first in exchange for the only original.
