Chapter 14: Worst-Case Scenario

Under the scorching sun, the asphalt road is hot to step on.

There are not many pedestrians on the street, and the leaves are wilted.

"Section chief, can Yuan Jie, this son-in-law, do it?" On the roof of the department store across the road from Huiquan Building, Tan Wenbin, the head of Chen Mingchu's subordinate, snorted and fanned Chen Mingchu.

"Can a female artist like Liang Xueqin who has a wide influence in Shanghai be strong?" Chen Mingchu wore gray short sleeves, sat under the shady umbrella, and let Yuan Jie, the son-in-law, come forward, which was the most suitable.

Compared with his Lao Tzu, this guy's IQ is much worse, and he will agree to everything with a little bit of excitement.

"Section chief, look, Liang Xueqin has come out of the back door......" a spy with a telescope shouted.

When Chen Mingchu heard this, he snatched the telescope from the spy and looked towards the back door of Huiquan Building, and saw Liang Xueqin pulling a little girl and running out of the alley in a panic.

The back door of Huiquan Building faced an alley, and after Liang Xueqin and Qiao'er came out of the back door, they immediately ran along the alley in the direction of Nanjing Road.

On Nanjing Road, there were patrolling Indian patrols, and no matter how bold Yuan Jie's people were, they did not dare to directly clash with the concession patrols.

This is the right thing to do.

"What's the matter, why isn't there anyone at the back door of Huiquan Tower?" Chen Mingchu turned around angrily and questioned the organization's actions, Tan Wenbin said.

Tan Wenbin's face was swollen red, and he didn't know how to answer.

"Section chief, Yuan Gongzi and they also came out, ...... from the main entrance"

"What a mallet, everyone ran away from the back door, he came out of the front door, and came to a different place, Yuan Gong was smart, how did he give birth to such a stupid son!" Chen Mingchu smashed his fist on the cement railing in annoyance, "Let's go, this Yuan Jie can't be trusted, so we can only do it ourselves." ”

"Section Chief, didn't you say that you can't use force against Miss Liang?" One of the operatives asked.

Chen Mingchu glared at him fiercely: "This time, that time, don't you understand this?" ”

……

Backstage of the performance in Huiquan Building, with the help of the chief steward and others, Chen Miao was helped to sit on the chair, although he tried his best to protect the wound on his left shoulder, but it was still cracked, but fortunately, the gauze was bandaged tightly, and it could not be seen from the outside.

"Boss Fang, I'm really sorry, I've wronged you, it's okay to hurt this injury, do you want to find a doctor to come and show you." The chief steward's face is full of apologies, the trader pays attention to not fighting with the official, although Yuan Jie is not a person from the officialdom, but he has a lot of energy, not to mention that Huiquanlou can't afford to offend, how many people are offended in Shanghai?

"It's out of the way, skin trauma, is there any water?" Chen Miao wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, these people are really ruthless, if it weren't for their target not themselves, he might really fold here today, but flesh injuries are inevitable.

"Yes, there is ......"

"Boss Fang, you drink water." The chief steward took the teacup from the man's hand and handed it over.

Chen Miao took it, "Gu Dong Gu Dong" took two big sips at once, gasped and said, "Okay, big steward, let everyone disperse, let's go separately." ”

"Boss Fang, this Yuan Gongzi has explained......" The chief steward stopped talking again.

"Why, chief steward, do you really want to keep me?" Chen Miao's eyes instantly turned cold, those people just now, if they didn't care about Liang Xueqin's safety and not being able to reveal their identities, these bodyguards would be his opponents?

"No, no, you misunderstood, do I want you to have a good injury, or go to the hospital to have a look?" The chief steward is also a clever man, and as soon as his eyes rolled, he thought of a workaround.

"Well, I'm going to the hospital to have a look, my ribs hurt badly." Chen Miao saw the chief steward wink at him, and immediately understood, and suddenly stroked his chest and pretended to be in pain.

"Quick, come on, pick up Boss Fang, and send him to the hospital quickly, this is the person Yuan Gongzi wants, but don't die, we can't afford to wait for ......" The chief steward hurriedly shouted.

As long as this person arrives at the hospital, it will be none of the business of Huiquan Building.

……

In fact, before the person arrived at the hospital, Chen Miao ran away halfway, he didn't have time to go to the hospital again to go around and come out, he had to listen to Xuelou as soon as possible to confirm the safety of Liang Xueqin and Qiao'er.

Yuan Jie's sudden attack today made him smell something wrong.

According to his understanding of Yuan Jie, Liang Xueqin performed in Huiquan Building today, and he should appear and cheer for him at the first time, but it was not until the end of the performance.

He didn't see Yuan Jie in the audience.

And just after the performance, he suddenly appeared backstage, and rushed into the backstage with his bodyguards, who clearly planned to forcibly take people away from the beginning.

Yuan Jie's character is very familiar to him, high-profile, flamboyant, and extremely exclusive.

Usually, when he saw Liang Xueqin, or when the two of them were alone, the bodyguards were not allowed to approach, but this time it was obviously different.

His bodyguards not only came in, but after they came in, they faintly confined Liang Xueqin and Qiao'er to a relatively small space.

This is clearly premeditated.

Yuan Jie advertised himself as a gentlemanly man (this guy once studied in the UK), and said that he wanted Liang Xueqin to fall in love with him and marry into the Yuan family willingly.

This seems to be contrary to the original intention of his initial declaration to the outside world, or does he have completely lost patience with the capture of Liang Xueqin's heart and intends to use the strong one directly?

A person's behavior pattern does not change so suddenly, and they have not had a violent unpleasant thing happen before.

So, there can only be another reason.

The biggest possibility is that someone stimulated Yuan Jie's min. The nerves of the sense prompted him to make such an extreme behavior, who is this person?

Chen Mingchu!

Ding Mohan at No. 76 is the guest of the old man of Yuan Jie's family, and Chen Mingchu has now reneged into Ding Mohan's person, and it is not too difficult for Chen Mingchu to be able to contact Yuan Jie.

Chen Mingchu knew his relationship with Liang Xueqin, and if he used this to stimulate Yuan Jie, he couldn't guarantee that Yuan Jie would make such an irrational move.

As Liang Xueqin, No. 76 didn't dare to act openly, so he could only secretly tie people up, and Yuan Jie was very likely to be used by Chen Mingchu and became his shield.

But Chen Mingchu never expected that Yuan Jie brought so many people, but he couldn't take Liang Xueqin away from Tingyu Tower, right?

In this way, Chen Mingchu may do it himself.

Anyway, something happened, and Yuan Jie took the blame.

Chen Miao is really worried, although Liang Xueqin and Qiao'er, the two masters and servants, escaped from Huiquan Tower, but Chen Mingchu is not Yuan Jie, whether he will directly rob people, it is difficult to say.

You have to prepare for the worst!

Chen Miao hurried to Tingxue Tower.

Knocking on the back door, Lao Cai, who opened the door, was surprised: "Third brother, what's wrong with your face, why did you come back alone?" ”

As soon as Chen Miao saw Lao Cai's surprised expression, he knew that the worst had happened, he delayed in Huiquan Building for a while, and was sent to the hospital by the chief steward, and only left halfway.

There was at least a quarter of an hour's delay.

And Liang Xueqin and Qiao'er should have arrived long ago if they had returned directly from Huiquan Building, unless, they didn't have any money on them, they couldn't take the rickshaw, and they could only walk back.

He certainly hoped that it would be the latter.

"It's too hot, I was a little uncomfortable and came back first, Xueqin and Qiao'er stayed in Huiquan Building, there are other artists performing in the afternoon, they want to stay to observe and learn, and come back later." Chen Miao could only tell a lie first.

"Then third brother, do you want to take a break?"

"No, I left my sunglasses off when I came in the morning, I'll come and get them." Chen Miao explained casually.

"That's the case, then I'll lead you over, Boss Qin's attic, except for you and Qiao'er, no one else can enter without instructions." Lao Cai didn't doubt him, so he led Chen Miao into the back door.

Chen Miao went upstairs and took a turn, removed her disguise, hurried down, and said to Lao Cai: "Lao Cai, Xueqin is back, you tell her, and I took the sunglasses." ”

"Okay, it's time for dinner, third brother, do you want to stay and have a meal together?" Lao Cai kindly said.

"No, I have something to do in the afternoon." Chen Miao was worried, then there was still the effort to stay and eat, if Chen Mingchu kidnapped Liang Xueqin, it would not be a bad result.

If it's Yuan Jie, then it's troublesome, if Yuan Jie does something bad, even if he kills this bastard, he won't be able to undo the damage.

After coming out of Tingxue Building, he didn't go far, Chen Miao found that he was being followed again, stopped, pulled down his sunglasses, and observed, it was still the guy who followed him for a day the day before yesterday.

Although he changed his outfit and wore a hat, Chen Miao's memory was so good that he recognized it at once.

With his understanding of Chen Mingchu, even if he planned to use Liang Xueqin to force him to comply, he would definitely find a way to control himself first.

Therefore, the person who is watching must not be Chen Mingchu's subordinates.

But on the beach, who else is interested in him except No. 76, Japan Xiante? It doesn't look like a Japanese plainclothes guy.

Of course, there are many Japanese spy agencies in Shanghai, and they are not subordinate to each other, so it is not impossible to be targeted, but the Japanese spies have little patience to do things, so they don't look like it.

That's weird.

Liang Xueqin and Qiao'er didn't return safely for a moment, so he couldn't let go for a moment.

There is no one around to talk to, most of the time it is like this, he is like a lonely walker, not only has to bear huge pressure, but sometimes he also needs to improvise, analyze by himself, judge by himself, and then make a choice.

……

"Captain Wu, I'm in the kiosk opposite the Oriental Hotel on Sanma Road now, and I saw him enter the hotel with my own eyes......"

"Okay, understood, understood."

Behind the curtain in the upstairs room, although Chen Miao couldn't hear what the tail who came back with him was talking about on the phone, he could guess a thing or two.

Tail put down the phone, observed the cars and people on the road, and came in the direction of the gate of the Oriental Hotel.

Chen Miao quickly went downstairs with the box.

Tail had already entered the hotel hall, talking to the guy at the front desk, probably to inquire about the room number where he lived, and suddenly saw Chen Miao going downstairs, and his frightened eyes were panicked.

Chen Miao walked out quickly, a rickshaw stopped, he lifted his foot, got into the car, and quickly drove into the crowd on the street.

When the little tail rushed out of it, he found that Chen Miaoren was long gone.

In fact, the rickshaw didn't go far before it turned into an alley, Chen Miao got out of the car and gently patted the young rickshaw driver on the shoulder.

"Third brother, what's the matter?" Xiao Qi raised his head and smiled.

"Do you know how to do it?"

"I know, don't worry, third brother, this little thing won't bother me." Xiao Qiyi smiled, revealing a row of white teeth, and pulled the rickshaw away quickly.

Chen Miao understood that it must not be Chen Mingchu's subordinates who were following and monitoring him, who would it be, could it be the person arranged by Lao Zheng?

Although the military commanders have a tradition of investigating each other's people, it seems that there is no need to use it on themselves?

Moreover, he also mentioned to Lao Zheng, if it was really Lao Zheng's person, if he was discovered, he would not arrange it again, so he didn't trust himself so much, why did he send himself undercover?
