Cheng Jingyi smelled a faint fragrance. She raised her head from the case file and sniffed it carefully, the fragrance was like nothing, and it was a little naughty that it was difficult to find for a while, but it was very charming.
Jingyi stretched out her arms, relaxed for a moment, and turned her face to look out the window.
This faint fragrance wafted from nowhere, quietly, faintly......
Jingyi was about to get up when she heard a voice outside. She was stunned for a moment. It was only a low voice, but it was very familiar. Sure enough, Xiaomei knocked on the door, but without notice, she pushed the door open and said, "Dean Cheng, Mr. Cheng is here." He"
Jingyi got up, and before she could stand firmly, she saw her father appear at the door.
"Father." Jingyi walked around the desk.
Cheng Shiyun entered the door, and the civilized stick was on the floor, making a soft sound. He nodded to Jingyi, who had walked in front of him, and raised his eyes to look at the furnishings of the office.
Jingyi didn't know why her father came suddenlyβit was the first time that her father had walked into her place of work, which made her a little apprehensiveβand she hurriedly asked Xiaomei to make tea for her father. I don't know how long my father will stay, but as he slowly paces two steps around the house, it doesn't look like he's about to leave...... Her eyes followed her father's back, and when he turned to look at her, she whispered, "Father, please take a seat." β
Cheng Shiyun really sat down.
He was dressed in a robe and a horse coat, and his top hat was straight, and the whole person looked meticulous, and his face was as serious as usual.
Xiaomei came in to deliver tea, and Jingyi took it and served it herself.
When she squatted down and poured tea for her father, she quietly looked at her father's face and asked, "Why did my father come suddenly?" Just tell me anything. β
As she spoke, she put the tea in front of Cheng Shiyun and did not get up immediately.
My father lost a lot of weight because of the illness not long ago. When she and Tao Xiang decided to hold another wedding, neither her father nor her grandmother were present. At the moment, they are all evacuating to the rear, and the third sister-in-law called and said that the day when her parents left had been arranged, if she remembered correctly, it should be today...... But her father suddenly came, which made her a little puzzled.
Cheng Shiyun shook the civilization stick, put it aside, and picked up the tea.
After taking a sip, he cleared his throat and said, "How many days has Muzhi been gone?" β
"Ten days." Jingyi replied. Tao Xiang left the day after the wedding, and there has been no news these days. She knew that every second was counting, and she didn't dare to disturb. I just hope that he is safe...... She suddenly felt a pause in her heart and asked, "Could it be that Mu Zhi ......?"
Her face changed.
Cheng Shiyun said: "I asked your third brother before I came, and Muzhi's deployment went very well. β
Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief, still looking at her father. Since it wasn't Tao Xiang's accident, it must be something else.
Cheng Shiyun pointed to the position beside him and let Jingyi sit. looked at her and said, "Sit down, I have something to ask you." β
Jingyi nodded.
Cheng Shiyun said: "You have discussed with your ninth brother to let the guys of the Tianjin branch pay attention to the movements of the Feng family, right?" β
Jingyi paused and said, "Father, I ......"
She did mention it with caution. His maternal grandfather, Feng Xiaozhang, moved from Beijing to Tianjin many years ago and lived as a father-in-law. Now that he is old, he is even more secluded. After the war, the old man was still stranded in Tianjin, and I don't know what the situation was recently...... She looked at her father, her face gradually flushed, and she said softly, "I should have consulted with you." It's just that I also know what the old man means, and he never wants to see the Cheng family again...... In the past few years, I have only been secretly concerned, and I dare not take half a step away. At this time, even if I had the heart, it was difficult for me to get out for a while, so I had to ask Brother Jiu to listen to the news...... I'm afraid that there will be a ......."
"I don't blame you." Cheng Shiyun heard Jingyi say this, and then spoke.
Jingyi is in a hurry, which is reasonable. Even if there was no urgency in the past, the current situation cannot be in a hurry. This is a deep affection, not to mention that Jingyi is a gentle and generous child.
He pondered for a moment and said, "I have already arranged for someone to take him out of the city, but I just refused." When the Japanese army completely occupies Tianjin, it will not be easy to come up with it again. β
Jingyi nodded.
My grandfather's appearance is already a little blurry, but that high and stubborn is unforgettable no matter what. The old man thought that he couldn't leave, but that he didn't want to. For him, death is not terrible, what is terrible is to be a slave to the country...... He would rather stay in Tianjin with his old wife than flee with the flow of refugees.
"It's all me, according to Muzhi and Brother Jiu's intentions, I should send someone to take the old man out of the city as soon as possible. But I'm afraid that they are old, in case they are frightened, there is a bad ......" Jingyi hesitated. She was ready to go there herself. But Tao Xiang and Zhishen both strongly objected. She wanted to venture into enemy-occupied territory, and for them, there was no way she could get there. Jingyi looked at her father, "What do you see? β
"I'm listening." Cheng Shiyun nodded and said, "Zhishen sent someone to pick up the old man, but he was turned away." β
Jing Yi thought to herself, they all expected that this would be the result.
At the moment, she is more worried that the battle has started, and it is not impossible to break through the blockade, but how to make her grandfather evacuate willingly, and how to take over the Feng family...... These days, she breaks out in a cold sweat when she thinks about it. Tao Xiang reassured her that he would definitely be able to find a way to move his grandfather to a safe area when the time came. But she can't be reassured. It's like she told him that she didn't have time to worry about his safety, in fact, on the contrary, she couldn't sleep day and night.
"Zhishen told your third brother to let your third brother's special agency in Tianjin protect the people first." Cheng Shiyun said.
When Jing Yixin heard this, she couldn't help but feel a little more relaxed, but when she saw her father, she frowned and hurriedly asked, "What?" β
"The old man is very alert." Cheng Shiyun took a sip of tea.
Jingyi was stunned. After listening to my father's brief explanation of the situation, I understood. Although my grandfather lived in Tianjin, his status was still very important. The Japanese need the support of a respected Chinese, so it is natural that they will look for suitable candidates to achieve what they call Japan-China 'co-prosperity...... The Japanese and traitors who came to visit were kicked out by their grandfather. The old man let out his words, it is okay to kill his head, it is impossible to be a traitor. The fact that people of his calibre were threatened with assassination one after another, and that he had survived several attacks, did not deter him. However, the old man is such a smart person, and when he contacted the Cheng brothers and Tao Xiang to persuade him about the matter, he understood that he was secretly protected by them. The old man was stubborn, not only politely refused, but also resolutely refused to leave, and made up his mind to die for his country...... Zhichen received a secret report and discussed with his father, asking his father to decide whether extraordinary measures could be taken against Old Man Feng as a last resort.
Jingyi listened to this anxiety, of course, it was not trivial.
She couldn't help but tug at her father's sleeve and said, "Father, grandpa and grandma are all old, and if you take extraordinary measures, you should also act cautiously...... Father, I want to go myself. β
Cheng Shiyun looked at his daughter with a gentle gaze. He had expected to see his daughter in a doctor's gown. But at this time, although she was dressed in civilian clothes, she was still capable and decisive. It's just that when the truth is moved, it's a bit messed up. A smile appeared on his face, fleetingβJing Yi was like this, really like her mother; This kind of soft and rigid temperament is more like ...... He said: "Your third brother said that he let me decide, where did I have the time to decide?" By the time he told me, he had already been ordered to take him out of Tianjin. β
Jingyi immediately asked, "What about ...... That grandpa is ...... now."
Cheng Shiyun said: "For safety, they went south by land. The old man was fine, but the old lady was sick. The escort did not dare to be careless and was admitted to the hospital in Xuzhou for treatment. That's what I've come to tell you. I'm going to have to get there right now. β
"Father, I'll go too." Jingyi said.
Cheng Shiyun didn't speak for a while.
Jingyi's reaction was very quick and without any hesitation at all.
"You take care of what happens here, and we'll leave right away. Tickets have been bought. Cheng Shiyun said.
Jingyi nodded.
Cheng Shiyun held the civilization stick, knocked on the ground, and stood up.
Jing Yi suddenly felt that her father's body was shaking, and she hurriedly supported him and asked, "Father, are you uncomfortable?" β
Cheng Shiyun waved his hand and said, "I'm very good." I'll be waiting for you in the car. β
"Father," Jingyi still helped her father out of the door, saw Lin Zhixin waiting outside, and immediately greeted him as soon as the door opened. She nodded to Zhixi, and only turned back when Zhixin followed her father far away. called Xiaomei over to explain, and dealt with all the documents that could be handled immediately, dialed a few phone calls to 61 words, and arranged the matter to the right person to be responsible...... This period of busyness is methodical. When she left, she told Xiaomei a few more words before leaving in a hurry.
It was still early for the train to start, and Jingyi rushed back to say goodbye to Mrs. Tao and Suixin. Because she had called 61 words in advance, Mrs. Tao had already asked Jingyi to pack a small suitcase with a change of clothes. Sui Xin was also very well-behaved, silently following his grandmother, watching his grandfather and mother get into the car, and then suddenly asked, "Mom, you went, can you see Dad?" β
Jingyi leaned on the car window, looked at herself with a blank look, and suddenly the tip of her nose was sore, and she didn't know how to answer, when her father next to her said for her: "Yes." β
