Chapter 86 Repayment
Huo Zuo originally wanted to say seventy percent, but after thinking about it, he changed his mouth to sixty percent.
"Sixty percent?" Qin Mingyue had a look of disdain in her eyes, "This is the prediction given by the head of the Blue Dragon Society?" β
"I've been doing dirty things for some years, and it's polite to be able to kill them with you."
The woman tilted her head and chuckled. They looked at the door, and no one made the first move. Before going out, Huo Zuo did two things: smoking and wiping the gun.
Qin Mingyue did three things - stomped on Chen Ruifeng's head and deformed it with her feet, fired three shots at his lower body, and stuffed her gauze hat into his mouth.
"I have to let them know who fired the shot," she said. β
Huo Zuo leaned back on the bloodless chair, flicked his cigarette ash and looked at her, and said, "Do you know that we have a limited number of bullets when we go out from here?" β
Qin Mingyue pulled out two daggers from her waist and threw them to him: "I thought you had a knife, everything was not a problem. β
"It's not the same as it was then, although I don't want to say it, but it's true." Huo Zuo said this, but still took the two daggers and inserted them into his waist. Hearing this, the woman raised her gun again at his head: "If you feel that you can't get out alive, I'll kill you right now." After all, I, the head of the intelligence department, have a much more convenient way out of here than you do. β
"You're going to have to kill all these guys?"
"What, now that you are going to persuade me to do good, you are going to change your fasting and not kill people?"
"Of course not for this reason. Why don't you use your position as a minister to get me out again? β
Qin Mingyue lowered the muzzle of the gun slightly, and looked at the corpse on the ground: "Do you think he is looking for me to kill you?" He's going to kill me. I switched to Big Boss Dai. Chen Ruifeng's dog life is just the first letter I gave him. β
Be unexpectedly rescued from a desperate situation. In the final analysis, it is a woman who flows the same blood as Huo Zuo, no matter how much they don't want to admit it, there are always more similarities in them than they originally thought.
Qin Mingyue took the cigarette he hadn't finished smoking from Huo's left fingertips and stuffed it into her mouth, took a hard puff, the sparks of the cigarette butt burned, and she spit out a puff of white eyes from between her red lips and narrowed the cigarette: "Big Boss Dai gave me a point in time." He'll get the news out soon, and I'll have to do something for him with no turning back. By this time, they should all know. The Kuomintang is not monolithic, the CC system, the military system, and the central system are all fighting each other, and this old thing surnamed Chen and Boss Dai are not dealing with each other in the first place. β
"You've gone from being a colleague to an enemy?"
"I've been enemies with them for a long time. The guys outside followed the one surnamed Chen, and now they have switched to the Japanese. Qin Mingyue stood up straight, and finally looked at the corpse lying there, "Just let him die, cheap him." β
She finished smoking the cigarette in her hand and threw the filter with the lipstick mark on the ground: "Are we done talking about the old thing, can we go?" β
Huo Zuo stood up straight with the gun in his hand, he walked to the door, pressed his hand on the handle, and turned back to Qin Mingyue when he opened the door: "By the way, do you remember that you embroidered a handkerchief for me when you were young?" β
Qin Mingyue smiled inexplicably: "It's the year of the monkey and the month of the horse." β
Huo Zuo opened the safety on the gun: "That piece of embroidery is too bad, brother is waiting for you to embroider a new piece." Then he kicked the door open and rushed out and fired the first shot. At the same time, the doorknob was jammed from the outside, and the dagger in his hand was jammed. Qin Mingyue was stunned behind the door, and when she heard four consecutive gunshots, she smashed the door and roared: "Huo Zuo, what are you doing!" The two of us will kill out, who will use you to be kind now! β
There was no one to answer, only the sound of gunshots, and she had no idea who was dead and who was still alive. The place was completely private, and she had cut off the telegraph wires before she came in, but that didn't guarantee that there would be no reinforcements from outside.
Huo Zuo listened to the shouting of the woman behind the door and smiled very freely. He felt the gun from the corpse at his feet, filled it, hid in the darkness and waited for the people to come over, then raised his hand and slashed the man's throat and pressed the man's hand to give him a shot.
Blood splattered on his face and was wiped away by his raised hand. He counted the numbers silently in his mind, waiting little by little. The roar behind the door gradually weakened, and in order to curse, Qin Mingyue slapped the door and shouted his name, treating him as an enemy in his previous life.
Huo Zuo didn't answer.
XVII, XVIII.
Finally, a bullet grazed his shoulder and almost hit him, Huo Zuo looked up and raised his hand to hit the sniper who was staying above. Shot the last person who came outside the door.
No footsteps were heard, and it seemed that the secret interrogation office was indeed the property of the intelligence service.
Qin Mingyue was lying on the door and listening to the gunshots outside getting weaker and weaker, and she felt a palpitation inexplicably. What about her hatred? Why are my eyes moist and hot now? She thought to herselfβwould he just be going to die?
"Click."
The dagger outside was removed. Qin Mingyue watched a bloody hand reach out to her from the outside. She raised her head and looked at the man in front of her who had white frost on his temples standing upright, put away the gun with a smile on his face, and just said so gently: "Let's go." β
For a moment, Qin Mingyue inexplicably felt as if tears were welling up in her eyes. She thought that she had already hardened her heart, and she had been sharpened into a sharp blade by this daily life and training, and she didn't care or want the so-called warmth and care. She's a warrior, that's how she was educated, that's how she grew up for so many years. But when she heard him say these two words, the feelings that had long since withered grew branches again.
She raised her hand and tried not to hide the tears in the corners of her eyes, but her voice was still slightly choked and revealed something.
"I don't need you to do this, Huo Zuo. You don't have to fake good intentions at this time. β
"I'm not here to ask for your forgiveness, Mingyue." Huo Zuo's hand was still stretched out and did not take it back, he said, "I just did what a brother should do." That's what I've always been at. β
He hid all his wounds and was the one who stood in front of her to fight. Huo Zuo's hand finally had to be put down after hesitation, he thought that maybe in the final analysis, what happened more than ten years ago was still a hurdle between their brothers and sisters. However, as he was about to turn around, his palms were wrapped in warmth.
Qin Mingyue held his hand. Although the woman still didn't overdo it, Huo Zuo already understood what she meant. They didn't say anything superfluous, just held hands back and forth, stepped over the underground interrogation room strewn with corpses, pushed open one prison door after another, and walked up the steps.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the damp hallway, and Huo Zuo opened the top door above the steps. As the gap in the stone door was pushed wider and wider, the light shone down from the outside. Qin Mingyue stood behind him, looking at his bloody back, and the bright white sunlight in front of him, suddenly there was a little trance, and there was a faint sound of their appearance when they were young.
At that time, she was only sixteen or seventeen years old, standing in the garden of the Huo family's old mansion, and handed him the embroidered handkerchief with earnest hope. When he asked, she said it was something she wanted to do.
She had more to say.
She actually wanted to tell him.
"I ...... That ......"
She should have said it earlier.
"I like you, Brother Azuo."
It's a pity that there is no ignorance and admiration now.
Huo Zuo pushed open the door of the cellar and climbed up first, then turned his head and stretched out his hand towards Qin Mingyue: "Come up, I'll find a car to take you home." β
Qin Mingyue raised her hand to cover the overly dazzling afterglow, she grabbed Huo's left wrist and climbed up, and suddenly spoke: "Brother Azuo." β
Huo Zuo was obviously stunned when he heard her shouting this title. He looked back at her, and saw that she smiled wryly at himself in the afterglow and said, "I hate you for the past ten years." Further back...... I'm going to let myself go. β
It was this sentence that made Huo Zuo subconsciously answer her three words.
ββ¦β¦ I'm sorry. β
Qin Mingyue quickly turned around and patted the dust on her body, and got up to leave. They were standing in the backyard of a small building at sunset. Blood-red afterglow crept over the walls and covered the courtyard.
Qin Mingyue's slender and upright figure disappeared into the corridor little by little, she still had more things to do, her power, her battle had only just begun from now on. As for whether she heard this "I'm sorry" and how she felt, Huo Zuo didn't get her answer.
He stood there covered in blood, separated from Qin Mingyue by the dim shadow of the dark red building. The woman paused slightly at the foot of the corridor, and after thinking about it, she finally turned around and told him, "I didn't save you because I didn't hate you anymore. Saving you is what Boss Dai meant. β
Huo Zuo put the gun back and lowered his head: "I know." β
"Huo Zuo, I didn't leave you because I didn't hate you because of how great I was, it's just that once the war starts, the whole of Shanghai needs your tens of thousands of disciples. You have to live. The Japanese army will definitely come next, and it will come soon. Now that they have captured Tianjin, they will immediately increase their troops to Beiping, and judging from the current situation in North China, it is only a matter of time before the East China battlefield is opened. Qin Mingyue looked up at the top of the corridor and looked out, as if looking at the Japanese army displayed on the bank of the Suzhou Creek from thousands of buildings, "Due to the Songhu Armistice Agreement, there are only two security regiments and some police officers to maintain law and order in the whole of Shanghai, which is like throwing a piece of chocolate into an ant's nest, and the entire city of Shanghai is open to the invaders." So I can understand Boss Dai's decision, if you are alive, there will be at least nearly 10,000 low-level armed people. β
"That's why you saved me and didn't kill me?"
"You saved me just now. Let's settle the matter. I've said all I need to say. Qin Mingyue waved her hand at him, turned around, and finally threw a sentence to him, "Cheng Changyu wants you and You Yiman's position, and he wants to monopolize the Blue Dragon Society and the Red Green Gang." You've healed your wounds, it's time to go back and teach him a lesson. β
