9:30 a.m. The black Buick was parked on Hankou Road, and the people in the car were carefully wrapping chocolates and putting them in their pockets. It was hot and muggy, and the chocolate melted a little. Shen Yigong put the gun away, glanced at the colleagues around him who were acting together this time, nodded, pulled the car door and walked down.

Sneaking through the back door into the Cheng family's mansion, the patrolling people used daggers to solve the problem and dragged them into the grass. Avoid the maid and go upstairs quickly. The rooms of the two ladies are on the second floor, the innermost room. Regardless of the identity of the rescue target, this mission is not much different from the tasks he has performed in the past for Shen Yigong, they will kill people when necessary, and the mission goal is the highest goal. Ensure the safety of the rescued people's lives, and try to complete everything with the least sacrifice.

And when he opened the door and looked at Xinyi running towards him with tears in her eyes, the man inexplicably felt that all this had been done too smoothly. They didn't even face a few lethal enemies. Shen Yigong handed Xinyi some of the melted chocolates in his hand and asked her to give them to her sister to eat, and he said, "I'll take you to the airport." ”

Then he carried the suitcases of the two girls and walked downstairs with the gun against the wall, and Xinyi followed him closely with the sleeping maid in her arms. They returned the way they came, not in the slightest—not even the sound of gunfire. Shen Yigong stood outside the wall and looked back, only to see a window on the second floor open, a corner of the curtain was lifted, and a white smoke floated out of it, which was blown away by the wind in the blink of an eye.

They got in the car, and everything went so smoothly that they even disappeared a full hour earlier than scheduled and arrived at the airport.

And in the empty mansion of the Cheng family, Cheng Changyu pinched the cigarette in his hand and looked silently at the people fleeing in the garden path outside the house. Someone behind him said indignantly in Japanese, "Mr. Kawashima, why are you stopping us!" Now capture Shen Yigong, and then you can successfully arrest Huo Zuo! ”

The one who spoke was Zhu Jingmu, a member of the secret service who was arranged to search for Huo Zuo's whereabouts with Qin Mingyue. Cheng Changyu put down the curtain in his hand and extinguished the cigarette: "You are not qualified to teach me a lesson." ”

"Mr. Kawashima, I finally brought your daughter back! I got it - you let him go, you still want those two girls of Chinese descent to live! ”

Cheng Changyu raised his head and stared at him coldly, Zhujing was dumbfounded, as if he was frightened by his gaze.

"I have my own arrangements, Takekyo." As he spoke, he looked out of the house, "What about Miss Qin, I asked you to cooperate with the people of the military commander, what is the result of your cooperation?" Major General Chen is a rare friend of our Great Japanese Empire, and if you destroy our friendship, you will be held accountable. ”

Takekyo bowed his head to him, "I'm very sorry, I take my work very seriously, Mr. Kawashima. Miss Qin agreed to our invitation and said that she would come for lunch. ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard footsteps and the maid talking outside: "I'm sorry, Miss Qin, I can inform you...... Our husband is still busy, or ......"

Qin Mingyue appeared outside the door of the study, dressed in a black suit, knocked on the door, took off her sunglasses and glanced at the two men standing there: "You don't seem to be very busy?" ”

Cheng Changyu waved his hand to let the maid go down, Qin Mingyue looked back at the aunt, and said plainly: "There is no hostess in a big family, and it is inevitable that it will be messy." ”

At the end, he turned his head and asked Cheng Changyu: "Right?" ”

The man had anger in his eyes but did not show it, he raised his chin with Zhujing and asked him to go out first: "Come up and call us when lunch is ready." ”

Before leaving, Takekyomaki closed the door for them. Qin Mingyue looked back at the closed door, and when she turned back, she found a random chair in the study and sat down. She crossed Erlang's legs and squinted slightly, took a deep breath, and spoke to Cheng Changyu: "Well, although the murder didn't happen here, I still smell a strong smell of blood." Is it on you, Brother Changyu. ”

Cheng Changyu opened the drawer and took out a cigar from it and lit it, he didn't answer Qin Mingyue's strange questions, and said to himself: "Huo Zuo is missing, the most likely thing is to find Shen Yigong." The last time you and Zhujing went to his house to look for him, they really didn't find him? ”

"I have a grudge against him, why wouldn't I hand him over to you if I found him?"

"Just because you have a grudge against him, I have reasonable suspicions that maybe you refused to hand him over because you could kill him with your own hands."

Qin Mingyue crossed her hands on her knees and looked at him: "You mean you don't trust me?" ”

Cheng Changyu held his cigar: "Then do you believe me?" ”

"About what? You? Just you? I could not have imagined your nationality, your allegiance, the things you did. The smirk on the woman's face faded little by little, and her face sank, "Huo Zuo asked you to send me and my mother to the dock and take a boat to the United States." You told me that Huo Zuo killed my father and took everything that belonged to him. But you didn't tell me that he was my brother, my half-brother. I didn't know until I saw the letter he sent me. ”

"Do you believe your father's enemy?"

"Or do you believe the words of a liar who has been hiding for more than twenty years?"

Since she completely spread out her words, Cheng Changyu had nothing to hide, he tilted his head: "You hate me." ”

"Hate? No. Hate is a very childish emotion. I'm thirty years old, Brother Changyu, and I don't 'hate' someone. Qin Mingyue's fingertips tapped on the armrest of the wooden chair, "I'm very angry." ”

"I didn't betray you, in fact, I tried to help you more than a dozen years ago. Of course, you didn't notice it, and I don't blame you for not knowing the return. ”

"Help? Or take advantage of it. ”

"Isn't it a 'help' that your anger and hatred have turned into the glory and rank you have today?" Cheng Changyu took a puff of his cigar and let the smoke spread throughout the room, "Do you think Chen Ruifeng will accept you as a trainee without even half an inch of suspicion?" Do you think that on your own, suck a cock on him, lie down and shed two tears, and he will sympathize with you and help you? No, not such a bright moon. These are my 'helps', the ones you should be grateful for. It's just that I haven't said anything all these years. ”

Anger gradually burned in her chest, but Qin Mingyue suppressed it fiercely, she just laughed out loud and licked her lips, and then lowered her head and looked up at him: "I see hatred, you see anger." What you see is a killing driven by anger, and what you see is the muzzle of a gun aimed at Huo Zuo. ”

"You remember the saying, 'Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while'." Cheng Changyu was enjoying the other party's unfriendly gaze, "Or do you want to give up your hatred, give up everything you have worked hard to manage over the years, and let Huo Zuo get away with it?" Your father, Izumishita, would be disappointed - you wouldn't do that, would you? ”

Be.

This is long enough hatred to sustain her step by step to the present, let her cut off her long hair and change into a military uniform, give up her long skirt, choose to wear a suit like a man, pick up a gun, stain her hands with blood, and aim her guns at everyone who stands in her way. The long and painful metamorphosis made her almost impossible to recall what she was like as a girl. Innocent or fragile, innocent or sensitive.

She had completely forgotten what it was like to be an ordinary person who was hated by no one.

"I won't." After all, she still answered Cheng Changyu like this. The other party didn't seem surprised by this answer, he pushed the cigarette case on the table forward, motioned for her to come and get it, and when Qin Mingyue got up and walked towards him, he said, "You will get your wish." ”

Qin Mingyue turned on the lighter, lowered her head and lit the cut cigar, and after taking a puff, she asked Cheng Changyu: "What are your plans before finding Huo Zuo." ”

"Today's newspaper in the Public Concession has already reported on the case from yesterday. Huo Zuo, dead. The Blue Dragon Society can't be leaderless, and You Yiman of the Red and Green Gang is now under our control—all of this is ours now. I intend to merge the Red and Blue Dragons and accept the direct management of the Japanese side. ”

"Sounds bold."

"Thank you. If Minister Qin is interested, you can contact me at that time, and I will persuade your boss to let you be promoted to the next level, so that you can cooperate with us wholeheartedly. ”

Chen Ruifeng said that all intelligence is actually business. The life and death, the comings and goings of the intelligence community, are nothing but the ups and downs of business. Qin Mingyue smoked the cigar in her hand, allowing the rising smoke to blur her vision in front of her. Someone outside came and knocked on the door, saying that lunch was ready, Cheng Changyu stood up and replied, "Okay, we'll come down immediately." ”

As they were about to leave, Qin Mingyue stood behind him and asked a very pure question: "Do you really not love Jin Xiaoxu?" ”

The man who stretched out his hand to open the door was slightly stunned. After a while, he threw down a sentence: "She is a traditional Chinese woman." He pushed open the door and walked out. Leaving Qin Mingyue standing alone at the desk, chewing on this sentence repeatedly with gloomy eyes, thinking about the content and information brought to her by today's conversation.

At 3:40 p.m., a plane bound for the United States took off from Jiangwan Airport on time. Shen Yigong looked at the behemoth made of metal and drove away from the ground little by little with a whistling sound, gradually turning into a small dot in the sky, throwing the cigarette in his mouth under his feet and getting back into the car. The operation was a complete success, and the other members of the team also left and retreated to their posts, and now he was the only one left.

He returned home at sunset, and when he opened the door, he heard a chaotic quarrel and roaring from upstairs. Shen Yigong hurriedly ran upstairs, and saw Zhao's mother running out in a panic with a pile of bloody gauze and sheets, and when she saw him, she hurriedly shouted: "Mr. Shen, you are back!" Mr. Huo's addiction to smoking is committed! Mr. Song is pressing him! ”
