Wu Ming led Wang Yuehan into the lounge next to him, pulled out the rattan chair in front of the desk and invited her to sit down, quickly sorted out the pile of confidential documents on the table and held it in his hand, and advised: "You can rest here for a while, if you feel bored, you can read the newspaper on the table." ”

Looking at the gently closed door, Wang Yuehan quietly let out a long breath, looked around at this lounge with only a small bed and a desk, two walls but all bookcases, couldn't help the temptation, walked around gently, browsed the bookcase full of files, Chinese and foreign military works and scientific and technological books, and returned to the desk with a lot of heart, looked at the most Chinese and English dictionaries and Chinese-German dictionaries on the desk, flipped through the manuscript with upright and smooth handwriting, and stared at the manuscript "Army Infantry Tactics" A few vigorous and elegant brush words, I felt that my heart was surging and extremely shocked, and I never imagined that Wu Ming, who had only studied in private school for a few years, would be so knowledgeable and hardworking, and his knowledge would be so wide.

Just as Wang Yuehan wanted to look through another stack of carefully handwritten manuscripts, an unfamiliar baritone and Wu Ming's laughter came clearly, Wang Yuehan quickly withdrew his hand, looked at the hidden door, and sat down gently on the rattan chair for a while, listening anxiously and nervously.

Zhou Wenyan, who was wearing an iron-gray tweed tunic, had become more capable and mature, he sat on the couch, took the cigarette thrown by Wu Ming, picked up the American windproof lighter on the coffee table and lit it, closed the lighter with a "ding" sound, and looked at the exquisite relief pattern on the lighter with interest:

"Beautiful! I guess it's a lot of money, and the Belgian gave it to you, right? ”

"Use it if you like, I have another one in a drawer." Wu Ming cocked Erlang's legs, looked at Zhou Wenyan's slightly darkened eyes, and frowned: "What's the matter, staying up late again?" ”

Zhou Wenyan sighed: "Is there any way?" A couple of ** diehards have exhausted me...... By the way, why did you ask about Zhang Fenglan? What is his relationship with you? ”

The hot tea on Wu Ming's coffee table was slowly pushed in front of Zhou Wenyan:

"Brother Junfang, Zhang Fenglan is my life-saving benefactor. Don't get excited, listen to me first, if you have any questions, you can ask them later, first declare, you can't say anything after listening, but I can understand any decision you make, and it will never affect the relationship between you and my brother. ”

Seeing Zhou Wenyan nodding suspiciously, Wu Ming immediately told him how he was falsely imprisoned, how he was rescued by Zhang Fenglan when he died in prison, how the Red Guards robbed the prison, how he escaped in a daze, how he was rescued by the Taoist priest of Taijin Mountain, how he was wronged, until he escaped and took revenge, how he was captured by bandits on the mountain, how the two gangs of bandits on the mountain fought fiercely, how he persuaded the bandits to put down the butcher knife and move to Changshan, and even the secret and painful truth of his relationship with Chen Jiyao's family in Huanggu Town. They all showed Zhou Wenyan without concealment.

Zhou Wenyan had already listened stupidly, and he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time, and saw Wu Ming, who was in pain, lighting a cigarette and smoking it silently, so he swallowed his throat, threw down the cigarette butt that almost burned his hand, looked up to the sky and sighed:

"I really didn't expect your experience to be so rough and painful, if it weren't for Zhang Fenglan's incident, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to understand the pain you went through for the rest of my life, alas!"

Wu Ming smiled bitterly: "I always thought that these things could be buried in my heart forever, but today there is really no way, in order to repay the life-saving benefactor, the little brother can only be cheeky to win your sympathy!" Brother Junfang, you are the brother I admire, since the younger brother has a request for you, he must tell you the truth, at least after speaking, the younger brother feels a lot more comfortable, otherwise the conscience of the younger brother will be tormented from time to time. ”

Zhou Wenyan was very moved, nodded slightly and didn't speak, looked at Wu Ming and thought for a long time, suddenly stood up and took a step forward, patted Wu Ming's shoulder, and sighed faintly:

"I am lucky to have a brother like you, and I have come to this world in vain! Well, it's half past four in the afternoon, and you go to the prison gate to pick up people before dark, but you remember to me: this is the only time, not the next one! ”

Wu Ming nodded solemnly: "Understood." ”

Zhou Wenyan took two steps and turned back again: "Give me that lighter, and you have to compensate me a little bit so that I don't lose anything...... In this way, you can send me ten imitation Browning 1922 pistols and twenty boxes of ammunition, my brothers' equipment is too poor, most of them are still using cumbersome shell guns, it is extremely inconvenient to do things, and I don't know when I can solve the problem when I go up to report, but the situation in Zhejiang, Jiangxi and Fujian is very complicated, and it can be said that it is full of dangers, and it will not work if I don't change my weapons. ”

"No problem! We brothers have a good idea of everything! ”

Wu Ming picked up the lighter and handed it to Zhou Wenyan, and kept sending him to the car downstairs: "The five Dodge cars I ordered will be delivered in a few days, and you can pick one to travel when the time comes, it's not okay to borrow my car all the time." ”

Zhou Wenyan happily gave Wu Ming a punch in the chest:

"Say it earlier! Count you as a kid, do you have a black one? I don't like your silver-gray car very much, and it has a license plate from the provincial security department, which is not suitable for me. ”

"There is a black one, what sign will you take back and hang up when the time comes?" Wu Ming laughed in a low voice.

Zhou Wenyan thought for a while and said, "Forget it, let's hang the license plate of your security headquarters, so that when people ask me where I came from, I will excuse myself and say that I borrowed you, so that the guys who are in the office will be unbalanced." ”

After sending Zhou Wenyan away, Wu Ming found Zhang Dongning and gave him a few words, and when he returned to his office, he saw Wang Yuehan standing in the middle of the room with tears in her eyes, and it could be seen that she had just cried.

"Sit down, I have already instructed Staff Officer Zhang to pick up Mr. Zhang from prison in the evening, it is estimated that the people in the party department did not ask what is famous, but you have to be careful in the future, you must have heard the warning that Director Zhou gave me just now, 'This is the only time to do it', he can do it, it is not easy to help me like this this time." Wu Ming leaned back on the sofa and explained in a low voice.

Wang Yuehan sat down slowly and looked at Wu Ming with a calm expression affectionately: "You are also my savior." ”

Wu Ming waved his hand: "Don't mention the past, this world is too chaotic, it is not easy to live well, there is no need to add so much mental burden to yourself." You have to be careful in the future, I don't want anything to happen to you. ”

Wang Yuehan's red eyes were full of tears again, she quietly lowered her head, took out a handkerchief to wipe her cheeks, and slowly raised her head after a while: "You...... Will you lead troops to fight the Red Army? ”

Wu Ming was quite annoyed in his heart, but he was still not angry, but his tone was much more indifferent: "I don't want you to get involved here, since you take the initiative to ask, if you don't have a definite answer, I'm afraid you won't be able to make a difference when you go back, I'll tell you the truth: as long as others don't take the initiative to beat me and don't harm my interests, I will try my best to avoid any conflict, and even everyone can make friends and do business together...... However, I have my own beliefs, my own pursuits, and I don't need others to dictate to me. So, you get the idea, right? ”

Wang Yuehan looked at Wu Ming blankly, as if she was lost in thought.

Wu Ming broke the silence and asked, "What are you going to do after the people are picked up?" ”

"Huh?"

Wang Yuehan was in a trance, Wu Ming asked again, and she came back to her senses:

"Oh, I want to ask you for help, send us through the heavily guarded Changshan to Yushan, if it really doesn't work, just send it to the ground in Jiangxi, and I'll have a way to get there."

"No problem, it's one of my battalions stationed in Changshan, I'll let you send you to Yushan, I still have a meeting in the evening, please forgive me, please convey my apologies to Mr. Zhang." In addition, I estimate that Mr. Zhang has been photographed after being imprisoned and left a criminal record, so I am afraid that there will be trouble when he appears in western Zhejiang in the future, so remember to remind him. ”

"Xie Lu Xie ......"
