It was already 10 o'clock in the evening when Wu Ming and Liu Rulin left the Tianshui Church, and the two returned the borrowed Buick sedan to Father Lei Mengde, and Liu Rulin's adjutant drove the half-new and old Ford car that had just been issued by the City Defense Headquarters, and sent Wu Ming back to the Qingshi Bridge defense site with Liu Rulin.

Three days later, on the morning, Wu Ming finished arranging the training task, and rode his beloved horse out of the palace to walk in circles, and an hour later led the cleaned horse back to the ancestral hall of the Ding family, and after taking a shower and changing into a neat military uniform, he was ready to fulfill the contract, and received a report from the officer on duty: Chief of Staff Ma and Chief of Staff Liu of the Urban Defense Command drove here.

Today's noon is the agreed meeting time between Wu Ming and Dai Zichen, and they want to go into the city to meet the two medical school graduates recommended by Dai Zichen.

Wu Ming saw Ma Zhizhai and Liu Rulin outside the door at a glance, and the two surrounded the familiar Buick car, talking and laughing in a low voice.

Wu Ming was quite surprised for a while, went over and looked carefully at the black letters on the white background and the blue sky and white sun emblem on the brand new military plate on the front of the car, raised his head, and asked curiously, "Just bought?" ”

"Sort of, but it only cost me a thousand oceans, and no one wants a penny more."

Liu Rulin was very satisfied with Wu Ming's shocked reaction, smiled, and explained: "Remember the Chinese driver I took from you the day after you detained the two American businessmen? ”

Wu Ming nodded: "I can't forget that grandson...... I still remember that the guy was from Shanghai, and he was carrying the ID card of a police detective from the French Concession in Shanghai, which I suspected was a fake certificate bought with money. ”

"You've got your ......"

Liu Rulin laughed: "The people and documents are real, not long after I took him back, the phone number above arrived, and I also let go of the unlucky guy, that guy and the two American businessmen did not leave Hangzhou, it is estimated that they always saw me driving their car to inspect the city defense during this time, so they inquired about my identity." ”

"Just the day before yesterday, the hapless Concession detective and the two American businessmen suddenly came to me, saying that they were thanking me for my help, and then sold me the car."

Wu Ming's heart was like electricity, he didn't believe that things would be so simple at all, and asked, "What about after I sell the car to you?" Didn't they ask for anything else? ”

Liu Rulin immediately turned to Ma Zhizhai: "Hey...... You're really right, it seems that this guy is deep in the city! ”

"This kid is shrewd!"

Ma Zhizhai grinned: "Don't try to hide this kind of thing from him, unless he doesn't want to know the truth, speaking of Dou Xin'er, no one in our brothers in western Zhejiang has ever been able to make a profit from him." ”

Liu Rulin turned to Wu Ming: "I guess you have guessed, remember the night before yesterday I talked to Father Lei Mengde about medicine and arms, right?" Two American businessmen approached me under the introduction of Father Raymond, and I recommended them to Director Cheng, and the business was negotiated, and they gave me the car as a thank you...... Although I liked this car a lot, I didn't dare to ask for it in vain, and finally sold it for a thousand yuan. ”

Wu Ming looked at Liu Rulin with a smile: "So today you deliberately drove the car over, and you also hung up such an awesome military license plate as No. 0012, you want to see my red eyes, right?" ”

Liu Rulin and Ma Zhizhai glanced at each other, and then laughed, both feeling that being with Wu Ming always brings unexpected pleasure.

######

More than half an hour later, Wu Ming and the three of them came to the hundred-year-old restaurant "Zhiweiguan" restaurant on the shore of West Lake, and saw Dai Zichen and two slightly restrained young people.

The two young men who had studied in the church medical school for five years but were depressed and unmotivated had been carefully observing Wu Ming, drinking three rounds and cooking five flavors, and the two of them had the courage to say that they did not expect the military generals in Mingyang Hangcheng to be so polite and personable.

Wu Ming asked the reason with some surprise, only to know that Lu Dao had inadvertently become the talk of people from all walks of life in Hangzhou, and he did not bend his knees and strictly enforce the law in front of foreigners, and he was known as having national integrity, which became the object of praise by many young students, and he was regarded as a celebrity.

The atmosphere warmed up in Lang Lang's laughter, and as the conversation gradually deepened, Wu Ming had a good impression of the two young people recommended by Dai Zichen, Dai Ziran and Shi Steve.

Dai Ziran is Dai Zichen's cousin, listening to Dai Zichen's tone, he, a cousin who is about 1.72 meters tall, has a well-proportioned figure and delicate facial features, is a young master who makes the entire Dai family have a headache.

Ma Zhizhai and Liu Rulin were quite surprised, and when they looked at it, they didn't find that the typical little white-faced Dai Ziran had the potential to become a general, but it seemed that Dai Ziran and Wu Ming had a good conversation.

Dai Zichen felt very embarrassed, he hesitated a little before recommending his cousin to Wu Ming, and after thinking about it, he repeatedly asked for the opinions of his family, so he brought his brother to meet Wu Ming, originally hoping to send this cousin to Wu Ming to hone for a year or two, and then get it back after he regained his heart.

Just a few minutes ago, Dai Zichen felt very sorry for his good friend Wu Ming, but he didn't expect Dai Ziran to excitedly ask to go with Wu Ming at this moment.

Another young man has a foreign name, called Stevie, about 1.65 meters tall, thin figure, facial contours are very tasteful, the whole face looks like a mature and resolute feeling, although he doesn't talk much, he always has a faint smile, he is an orphan raised by the church, he never knows who Lu Dao's parents are, I don't know where Lu Dao's hometown is, and even his name is the transliteration of the surname of the old priest who picked him up back then.

Before Dai Zichen introduced him, no one would have believed that this very quiet and elegant young man in front of him would be proficient in English, French, and German Chinese, and after graduation, he easily gave up the precious opportunity to be sent to Yale University School of Medicine in the United States for further study, and while interning in a church hospital, he engaged in the anti-Japanese national salvation movement that he was passionate about.

In the past year, Steve participated in all the anti-Japanese demonstrations in Hangzhou and was arrested three times in the police station.

The last time Steve was arrested in the police station was during the anti-Japanese anti-Japanese war march in Hangzhou, where there was a riot and was brutally suppressed by the government a few days ago, this guy set fire all the way in the procession, burning more than a dozen Japanese flags one after another, and finally failed to petition in front of the provincial government, and in anger he set fire to the police duty booth at the crossroads in front of the provincial government, and the direct consequence was that he was grabbed by five military policemen on the spot, dragged 50 meters away, and threw them into a prisoner car.

Dai Zichen said with great sadness that after this guy was arrested, he never said a word in the face of the interrogation of the military and police, and did not admit his mistakes, but he was accused by several other student leaders who could not stand the torment that he had the status of a "member of the Left Alliance"; if it weren't for Lei Mengde and several professors who remembered his miserable life experience, it was not easy to cultivate him to this extent, so he used the connections of the US Consulate General in Shanghai to get through the upper echelons of the government, and then bailed him out at the police station, I am afraid that this guy would have been sentenced to at least five years in prison.

Maybe it's because Wu Ming has a unique charm, maybe it's because Wu Ming hurt himself and behaved very kindly to Stevie, who was in sympathy with the disease, maybe it was the experience of being arrested and betrayed that made Steve feel something, maybe it was some other reason, Steve suddenly made a decision that shocked everyone at the moment before the end of the luncheon, he walked straight to Wu Ming and stood still, and said very seriously: "I believe in you and want to go with you!" ”

Today is undoubtedly a lucky day for Wu Ming, which can be described as a success and surprises, not only successfully obtained two young military medical officers, but also received a generous gift from Father Lei Mengde entrusted by Dai Zichen: the Dodge high-horsepower van that Wu Ming and Liu Rulin coveted!

Dai Zichen seemed to know that Wu Ming would refuse, so he told Wu Ming Lei Mengde's words as they were: "You need this car more than me now, if you still want to refuse, please treat this car as the common property of Quzhou Keats Hospital, which is about to be established!" ”
