Cheng Qianfan's eyes just stayed on this big title of this page of the newspaper:
Yesterday, Wuhan won a great victory, but Chen Huaiming did not return to the air battle!
Thirteen words are like a knife cutting his heart and lungs!
His chest cavity fluctuated greatly due to rapid breathing.
Cheng Qianfan opened his mouth but made no sound.
He pulled open the drawer, took out the cigarette box, took out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.
The cigarette was trembling because his lips were trembling.
He picked up the gold lighter on the table and tweaked it several times before he successfully lit the cigarette in his mouth.
"At about 2:30 p.m. yesterday afternoon, Japanese planes broke into the sky above Wuhan with geese formations.
Chinese and Japanese fighter jets fought desperately in the air.
The ace pilot of the National Army, Chen Huaiming, flew the fighter plane to meet the enemy.
He rolled up and down, fought left and right, and soon after the war started, Chen Huaiming successfully shot down an enemy plane.
But he also became the target of enemy aircraft attacks and was surrounded by four or five enemy aircraft.
Soon, the plane flying by Chen Huaiming caught fire, and the operation seemed to be ineffective, and the plane was pouring down with smoke.
The author speculates that Chen Huaiming may have been shot and injured at this time.
However, if he chooses to abandon the plane and jump at this moment, he still has the possibility of survival.
When the Wuhan military and civilians saw an unforgettable scene for everyone, Chen Huaiming controlled the plane tightly and crashed into the enemy plane.
In a loud bang, two planes rolled and the fire dragon fell into the Yangtze River.
The hero Chen Huaiming and the enemy died together!
The soldiers and civilians on the Wuhan River cried bitterly.
The soul is back! Keep my sky!
Return of the soul! Defend our country!
My soul is back! Protect my people!
How magnificent, Lieutenant Shen Huaiming!"
...
Cheng Qianfan had a cigarette between his right finger and his elbow supported his head.
He breathed rapidly.
He felt very distressed.
It hurts so much!
Third brother!
Huaiming!
He is handsome, extraordinary, beautiful, sings, can play harmonica, and can play Erhu with good skills!
The third brother who said he would hold a wedding with Lu Yun’s younger brother and sister when the War of Resistance Against Japan was won!
Such an excellent third brother!
Sacrifice to the country?!
Cheng Qianfan's fingers holding a cigarette were trembling!
His heart was trembling, heartache!
...
Cheng Qianfan recalled the last time the two met was two years ago.
Huaiming came to Shanghai to visit him.
He told him that he was about to set foot on the battlefield and fight to the death with the Japanese invaders to protect the sky of his motherland.
He heard the aspiration for death from Huaiming's words!
Huaiming has made up his mind and preparation to sacrifice his life for the country at any time!
This made him both relieved and worried.
Huaiming was sitting in the rickshaw. He stepped forward and held Huaiming's hand, held it tightly, and said to him: Live! Huaiming, you must live!
Huaiming smiled like that, revealing his white teeth, and said to him, "Then it depends on whether King Yama will accept me."
Cheng Qianfan still cannot forget his brother's smile at that time:
This is a contempt for the invaders and a calmness for death!
He was so calm, facing sacrifices calmly!
The rickshaw left, and Huaiming's voice came, "Brother Fan, I've left my home to you!"
The cigarette roll gradually turned into ashes, and the ashes fell.
The sound of people walking in the corridor.
Cheng Qianfan got up, he turned on the faucet, washed his face, and quickly dried his face with a dry towel.
Turn the newspaper pages, fold it up, and throw it on the desk.
The gramophone was turned on.
Put in a vinyl record.
This is a cheerful music.
Cheng Qianfan sat at the desk and took out a cigar from the drawer. He slowly trimmed the cigar.
His legs crossed his legs and shook with the cheerful notes.
...
Hou Pingliang knocked on the door and came in to report.
"Brother Fan, four of the six people in the Sodia Ballroom have been released." Hou Pingliang said.
"Which four?" Cheng Qianfan asked by pulling the lighter's wheel, igniting the cigar.
Hou Pingliang said the names of the four people.
Cheng Qianfan noticed that Luo Mingyang, who was suspected to be the Red Party by Haozi, finally judged that he did not look like the Red Party, had been redeemed.
"Very good." Cheng Qianfan nodded and took a sip of the cigar. Perhaps it was because the cigar was too flushed. He was choked and coughed violently.
"Brother Fan, is it okay?" Hou Pingliang hurried over to help Cheng Qianfan slap his back. Brother Fan almost coughed up tears and snot.
"It's okay." Cheng Qianfan took out his handkerchief, wiped his eyes and nose, glanced at the cigar in his hand, and muttered something like "Tai Chong".
"The families of the remaining two people said they would raise the guarantee fee as soon as possible." Hou Pingliang said.
"The guarantee fee has increased by 30%." Cheng Qianfan said lightly.
What surprised him was that Chang Shenyi was not redeemable immediately.
He didn't know what was happening behind this, but this did not prevent the greedy "Deputy Chief Cheng" from temporarily raising the price.
"I understand." Hou Pingliang nodded.
After leaving the deputy general manager's office and taking it to the door, Hou Pingliang heard Brother Fan humming the song, which was the Western song played in the phonograph just now.
"Brother Monkey, congratulations on getting rich." A familiar policeman came over to say hello. He heard the singing in the office of the deputy general manager and winked, "Deputy General Cheng is in a good mood."
...
At noon.
Cheng Qianfan drove away from the police room.
Honolulu Road.
Cheng Qianfan wandered in the garden, with the melodious sound of piano in his ears.
This is a private music school.
Bai Ruolan is a music teacher here.
Ruolan, who was teaching the children, saw her husband in the yard. A beautiful smile appeared on her face and made a gesture that was not yet over get out of class.
Cheng Qianfan smiled and nodded, signaling that he was not in a hurry and just wait outside.
A lot of azaleas are planted in the garden.
Now is the flowering period of the azalea.
Looking into the eyes, the azaleas are colorful, red, blue, orchid and purple, like rainbows.
Cheng Qianfan remembered the sky.
"Find an empty flower pot." Cheng Qianfan said to the school manager.
Deputy General General Cheng said, "The bald middle-aged man naturally went to do it with great care. Soon, he brought a flower pot filled with soil."
In addition to the flower pot, a flower hoe was also brought.
"Thank you." Cheng Qianfan nodded with satisfaction.
After being praised by the famous Mr. Xiao Cheng, the man's face shone with a shimmer.
Yes, the previous Director Xiao Cheng has now become President Xiao Cheng.
After Cheng Qianfan was promoted to deputy general manager, this name began to appear and soon spread.
Mr. Xiao Cheng refers not only to his age, but also to the deputy general manager, which is different from Jin Ke Mu Jin.
...
Cheng Qianfan then returned to the garden with an empty flower pot and a flower hoe.
He carefully transplanted several azaleas.
When Bai Ruolan came out of class, she saw her husband holding a flowerpot in his hand, and the azaleas in the flowerpot were in full bloom.
"Why do you think of taking care of flowers and plants?" Bai Ruolan came up and asked casually, holding her husband's arm.
"I just looked bright and festive." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "and I fell in love with it."
When he returned home, Cheng Qianfan held the flower pot and went to the study on the second floor.
He placed the flowers in front of the window.
He stood in front of the window and looked at the flower, the blooming azaleas, blooming warmly and unrestrainedly.
Bai Ruolan brought a small kettle to water the azaleas. She felt that her husband began to like flowers and plants. This is a good thing. Flowers and plants are vital and beautiful.
"Ruolan, do you know what the flower language of azalea is?" Cheng Qianfan asked.
"He warm and unrestrained." Bai Ruolan said with a smile.
Cheng Qianfan nodded and praised, "My wife is a good wife."
Bai Ruolan then angrily glanced at her husband, "I'm going to cook, Xiaobao is going to finish school later."
Cheng Qianfan turned his head and looked at the pot of azalea. He said in his heart that the flower language of azalea should be:
Sacrifice, and victory!
...
During lunch, Cheng Qianfan seemed to be in high spirits and drank a few more glasses of wine.
Bai Ruolan boiled sober soup and placed it on the head of the bed, touched her husband's forehead, and confirmed that she did not have a fever, so she took Xiaobao out.
Bai Ruolan, who was walking in the alley, turned her head and looked at her house.
Although Cheng Qianfan was in a good mood, he even had leisure to take care of the flowers and plants.
However, Bai Ruolan was familiar with her husband, and she could feel Cheng Qianfan's deep hidden sadness.
She said nothing.
If he wants to drink, he will get a few more dishes and drink for him.
He wants to raise flowers and plants, so he will raise them.
He wants everything to be the same as usual, so that's it.
All she could do was to stay with him like this!
After his wife and Xiaobao left, Cheng Qianfan sat up from the bed, and he sat in a daze in the empty room.
That day, the extremely strong lurker buried his head in the pillow without making a sound. When he raised his head again, the pillowcase had already been wet.
...
Lu Xingge stood by the windowsill for a long time.
It seems to be enjoying the view outside the window.
However, the windows were closed and the curtains were pulled.
This house is not big, and there is nothing extra except a bed, a desk, a chair, and a washbasin cabinet.
There was a newspaper on the desk.
The page lying down is the huge title of 'Yesterday Wuhan victory, but Chen Huaiming did not return in the air battle'.
There were a circle of cigarette butts scattered on the ground.
Lu Xingge touched his body, took out the last cigarette from the flat cigarette box, and he drew a foreign fire to ignite it.
He took a violent breath and choked him and coughed repeatedly.
Huaiming, good!
He said in his heart.
Then, the corners of his eyes tide again, and he opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
Lu Xingge opened the curtains, looked outside, and looked out at the sky outside: Huaiming, Huaiming's brother!
There was a sound from the sky, which was the whistle of the flying pigeons.
...
"Sir, didn't you agree on the price? Why did the price increase again?" Qiu Xing wiped her tears and showed a panic-helpless expression, and Qi Qi said.
"The price yesterday was yesterday, and the price today was today." Lu Jiu glanced at the little woman. The woman was very beautiful. The most important thing was that the pear blossoms looked like rain, which was really pitiful.
He now suspects that Deputy General Cheng's temporary price increase was not just because he wanted to make more money. Maybe he learned that Chang Shenyi's wife was such a delicate little lady, so Mr. Cheng had other ideas.
Qiu Xing left cryingly.
The money she brought was not enough to redeem people.
A rickshaw was called at the entrance of the Central Police Station. Qiu Xing took the car and passed several alleys and got off at an alley.
Then, she walked for a distance and called a rickshaw.
Repeat this way.
The woman changed into four rickshaws in total, and even went back and forth, and finally got on a car by a relatively secluded road.
"Team leader." Qiu Xing bowed his head and said to a young man.
"The person wasn't released?" Eiguchi also frowned and asked.
"The police station has temporarily increased the price by 30%, and we don't have enough money." Qiu Xing said angrily, "I just heard that Cheng Qianfan was extremely greedy, but this time I really realized it."
"This person is not just greedy, but also lustful." Eguchi Eki also glanced at Qiu Xing, "Maybe I'm not thinking about sending you to redeem people."
"What the team leader means is Cheng Qianfan likes me?" Qiu Xing raised her head, not angry, and a hint of excitement appeared in her eyes.
"Maybe." Eguchi Ekiya also saw the expression of the female subordinate and snorted coldly in her heart. This woman was temporarily seconded from the Mitsui Association. It was more of a geisha than an agent.
His expression did not change much, and he continued to ask, "Have you seen Nakazawa Jun today?"
"No." Qiu Xing shook his head, "The police station said that he had collected all the guarantee fees and could only meet and release people at the same time."
"You said before that the police station arrested a total of six people in the dance hall?" Eiguchi also asked in thought.
"Yes, including Nakaze Jun, there are six people in total." Qiu Xing nodded.
"How many of these six people have been released with guarantees, and how many are still being detained?" Eiguchi Eki also asked.
"This..." Qiu Xing was stunned. Looking at Eguchi Yingya's cold gaze, her body shivered, "It's my subordinate who has dereliction of duty!"
"You are very beautiful, your body is your weapon, that's right." Eguchi Eki also grabbed the woman's chin and said in a stern tone, "But remember, seductive sex is a trick after all. A fool's woman is worthless, and a smart-minded beautiful woman is what the empire needs."
"Hayi!"
...
"Go and check." Eiguchi Eki also looked at the front seats and said to the co-pilot's subordinates in a deep voice, "How many people have been released, how many people are still detained?"
"What is the guarantee fee that has been released?"
"As still being detained, have the guarantee fees increased?"
"Find it clearly!" Eguchi Ekiya said coldly.
"Hayi!"
The car stopped on the side of the road, and the agent in the co-pilot got out of the car and quickly disappeared into an alley.
Eguchi Eki also looked at Qiu Xing, who was sitting upright and silent. He took out his wallet, took out a stack of money, and handed it over.
Qiu Xing looked at the stack of money in front of him, and a greed flashed in his eyes, but he did not dare to take it.
"Hold it, this is an order." Eguchi Hide also said.
"Yes!" Qiu Xing took over the stack of money.
"You get off the bus in front and go to the department store later." Eguchi Eku's tone was gentle, "Buy some gifts, keep one for yourself, and give it to me for another one."
"Who are the team leader going to give gifts?" Qiu Xing asked, feeling a little disappointed. She thought that this stack of money was given to her.
"Give it to Miss Tian." Eguchi Eya said lightly.
Hearing this, Qiu Xing's face changed immediately.
