Two-four-zero. Doubt

Chen Qimei called, saying that with some eyebrows, people are still alive, so they don't have to worry.

He found out so quickly that he had got the picture, but George hadn't returned.

Wanlan said dejectedly: "It's good, I found one, and lost another one." ”

"Wang Mingshan is still following him, he won't lose it. Chen Ji comforted her, "Don't panic so easily, if you panic, others will only follow you and panic." ”

Wanlan sat down on the sofa with her mouth closed, feeling as if she had been roasted on a fire, and the self-chiming clock in the living room emitted a series of ticking sounds to her ears, like a talisman.

Man is alive, but he is gone.

She can't forget the worst to think.

The phone suddenly jumped up again, the ringtone was loud, like a frightened quail, Wanlan immediately looked over, Chen Ji picked it up, still in a calm tone: "Which one?"

The Shanghai Municipal Hall called, perhaps because of George's identity, they had to treat him with courtesy.

Chen Ji said two words to them for entertainment, and asked them to send someone to help find someone as usual, but the other party was stumbling and talking back and forth, just telling them not to worry.

Chen Ji was suspicious: "Mr. Li, do you know where the countess is?"

He called Wan Tian's official title, wanting to tell the other party that Wan Tian's identity was something they couldn't afford to provoke.

The other party stuttered even more, unable to speak for a long time. Chen Ji sneered, but still maintained politeness: "The British Embassy has received the news, and they attach great importance to the safety of the Countess. Mr. Lee, I think you should know that the Earl of Spencer's brother and father were both members of the British Parliament, and if you know anything, please tell me directly. ”

Wanlan deduced the other party's answer from his words, and immediately began to get angry, she walked to Chen Ji's side, wanting to reach out to grab the phone, but was blocked by Chen Ji with his arm.

She heard a voice coming from the earpiece: "Mr. Chen, I just want to tell you that the Countess is safe, don't ask again, she will arrive home safely, Mr. Earl is an honored guest of the Shanghai Municipal Hall, we don't want to snub him......" He paused and said meaningfully, "The coronation ceremony of His Majesty the Emperor of the Japanese Empire is approaching, and we don't want to cause more trouble." ”

Chen Ji's eyelids jumped: "Okay, I know, thank you Mr. Li." ”

He turned to face Wanlan as he spoke, and turned to face Wanlan: "Ah Tian may be in the Japanese." ”

Wanlan was taken aback: "How could she be there in the Japanese?"

"I don't know," Chen Ji frowned, "and the Shanghai Municipal Government will not come forward, so we have to get George back and ask him to call the British Consulate and ask the British to come forward to the Japanese Consulate to ask for someone." ”

As he spoke, he clapped his hands and called Mr. Butler over: "Go to the Fatima Hotel and see if George is still there, and call him back." ”

Mr. Butler nodded politely, he stepped back, took his hat and coat, came to the antechamber to bid farewell to Chen Ji, and called the maid from before to serve them.

Chen Ji instructed him: "Don't walk, take a rickshaw and be careful along the way." ”

A new round of waiting began, and the maid guessed that they had not finished their meal, and neatly brought bread and cream soup, but Wanlan was in a high state of tension, not only did she not have any appetite, but she also faintly gaged when she smelled it.

She tilted her head to the side: "Serve me tea, I don't want to eat." ”

The maid was a little frightened, and subconsciously looked at Chen Ji.

Chen Ji nodded: "Mine stays and changes Longjing tea for my wife." ”

George came back quickly this time, and the butler explained the situation to him on the way, and he went to change his clothes as soon as he entered the house, and even used a graceful fine powder to decorate his haggard face.

Wanlan finally ended the wait and could go with George, and they drove two cars, and George went to the British Consulate in Shanghai to negotiate. The consul general had already gone home, but a vice-consul rushed over after receiving the call and ordered a few diplomats to go to the Japanese consulate together.

Wan Tian was sitting in the living room of the Japanese Consulate, with a neat appearance, but her expression was dull. Wanlan was the first to pounce, took her sister into her arms, and quickly fished it out to check whether there were any injuries on her body.

Wan Tian woke up in her arms, and called "sister" with a cry, but this small sound was heard by a Japanese, he came over and squatted down in front of Wan Tian, stared at her with a smile, and said to Wan Lan: "The Countess encountered a bloody clash of mobs on the street during the day, and was a little frightened, because we couldn't contact her family, we rushed her back to the consulate, and the Countess was safe and sound, which is really good." ”

He put his hand on Wan Tian's shoulder, forcing Wan Tian to look at her: "The family also wants to see Mrs. well." ”

Wanlan suddenly jumped up, and beat the man's hand down excitedly, and her face was as cold as ice: "Sir, there is a difference between men and women, please respect yourself." ”

The man hurriedly withdrew his hand, stood up, bowed and apologized: "I'm sorry, ma'am, please forgive me, I just saw the Countess reunited with her family, and I was so overjoyed that I got carried away, and I had no ill intentions. ”

Wan Lan looked at him suspiciously, and at the same time blocked her body in front of Wan Tian, separating the two as much as possible.

The man shrugged his shoulders, smiled kindly at Wanlan like a European and American, and turned to leave.

After George finished negotiating with the vice consul, he came to greet Wan Tian and wanted to hug her, but Wan Tian suddenly ducked when his hand reached over, and at the same time lowered his head.

The people present were stunned, Wanlan called her name in a low voice, and said, "Ah Tian, this is George, it's your husband." ”

Wan Tian's eyes were full of tears, she raised her head, and saw that the Japanese man who had just spoken to him was standing behind Wan Lan and smiling at her, she subconsciously shook her head, slowly turned her head, bit her lip and put her hand in George's palm.

George's frown loosened, and he took off his blazer and draped it over Wan Tian, carefully helping her up with Wan Lan. Wan Tian seemed to be avoiding him, leaning his body towards Wan Lan's side all the time, and when he got into the car, he was even more stubborn at the corner of Wan Lan's clothes, and he wanted to be with Wan Lan and asked George and Chen Ji to take another car.

Chen Ji pulled George: "Ah Tian was frightened and wanted to talk to her sister, let's not disturb her." ”

Wanlan helped her sister into the car, full of doubts, but Wantian didn't speak, just leaned on Wanlan's shoulder, closed her eyes and wept.

"Ah Tian. Wanlan couldn't wait any longer, and asked in a low voice, "What did you encounter in the afternoon, tell my sister." ”

Wan Tian didn't speak for a long time.

Wanlan cautiously hugged her shoulder: "Ah Tian, it's okay, you're safe now." ”

"Sister," Wan Tian finally spoke, "tell George to go back to China." ”

Wanlan was surprised: "What's wrong?"

"Tell him to go back to China," Wan Tian said, "I don't want to go back with him, I want to stay in China, our marriage...... Let's do it. ”

Wanlan was taken aback: "Ah Tian, what kind of stupid thing to say, George won't agree." ”

"Then let him agree," Wan Tian's voice was low, almost angry, "he will find a more suitable wife in England, that is his country, he is in China, after all, a stranger." ”

"If you want him to go back, go with him. "That's what George wants." ”

Wan Tian suddenly cried, she covered her face with her hands, her whole body trembled like chaff, and she muttered something indistinctly. Wanlan hurriedly hugged her shoulder, she had a guess in her heart, but she didn't dare to ask for the driver in front of her.

When she got out of the car, Wan Tian had already calmed down, her face was gray, she looked lifeless and crumbling, George simply beat her up horizontally, but Wan Tian struggled fiercely in the crook of his arm, so that George couldn't hold her alone, and the two fell to the ground together.

The servants who came out to greet them were shocked, helped them up, and Wan Tian shrank behind Wan Lan, tugging at her clothes, and cowering: "Don't hug me, I will go by myself." ”

Wanlan hugged her: "Okay, George, let her go by herself." Go and boil hot water, and prepare for your wife's bath. ”

Wan Tian shrank behind Wan Lan and entered the house, and as soon as she entered the door, she immediately went upstairs and went back to the room. She kicked out all the girls who were waiting with her, leaving Wanlan alone in the house, so that she finally had a chance to ask that question: "Ah Tian, you...... Didn't you go to see me? Why did you suddenly run to the Japanese consulate?"

Wan Tian was silent for a long time, and finally sighed tiredly: "Don't ask, I don't want to say." ”

She leaned sideways and lay down on the bed: "Sister let's go too, I'm tired, I want to sleep for a while." ”

Wanlan was not worried about her current mental condition, so she sat down on the edge of her bed and pulled the quilt for her: "You sleep, I won't disturb you, I'll wait for you to fall asleep before leaving." ”

Wan Tian closed her eyes and didn't speak, she fell asleep quickly, almost a quarter of an hour later, and her breathing was even longer.

Wanlan stretched out her hand and waved in front of her eyes, waited for a while, and saw that she was really asleep, before tiptoeing out the door and going downstairs.

George and Chen Ji were drinking tea in the living room on the first floor, and Chen Ji asked about George's plan to return to England, and asked him if he planned to take Wan Tian with him.

Wanlan came down from upstairs, her face full of worry, but she didn't dare to tell George, only said that Ah Tian was asleep.

George got up to thank her and graciously invited them to stay for the night. Wanlan wanted to refuse, but Chen Ji agreed, which made her suspicious.

"Ah Tian is happy to wake up and look for you. Chen Ji glanced at her, "Besides, even if I bring you back now, I'm afraid that I will have to toss it tomorrow, and I don't worry about you coming by yourself." ”

George laughed: "Yes, eat a trench and grow wise, the concession is not completely safe, you sisters should be careful." ”

But Wan Tian slept until dawn, and woke up quite early, she asked the girls to boil the hot water that was useless after yesterday, drove everyone out, and bathed and changed clothes by herself. Breakfast and clothes for George as usual were prepared.

Wanlan came down from upstairs and was taken aback when she saw her: "Ah Tian, how are you?"

"It's okay, Sister," Wan Tian did seem to have calmed down, she smiled at Wan Lan, still gentle, and handed her a cup of tea, "Rinse your mouth, when they all get up, you can have breakfast." ”
