"Young Master Lu, who has always been lively and lively, didn't expect that he was also afraid of his wife?" Huang Yanning joked.
"Who is not afraid of his wife? Wife is definitely the most terrifying species on this earth. It is said that your commander-in-chief is famous in the military circles of the Republic of China for being afraid of his wife, right?" Lu Ming said with a smile, stroking his hands.
"Haha, not only is he afraid, he is looking for various reasons to take the initiative to be afraid, and he is also afraid that others will not know that he is afraid." Huang Yanning almost laughed.
"What you're talking about is masochism, not henpecking. I'm not the same person." Lu Ming felt that he was not at the bottom.
The two were talking and laughing. Lu Ming found a jar of wine, opened it, poured a bowl and drank it himself.
With Yuan Ziyuan back safely, half of the work has been accomplished. If Sheng Muyi is found again, the work will be complete.
Along the way, he did not ask Yuan Ziyuan about Sheng Muyi. He wanted to ask, but he was a little afraid and never dared to ask.
"You said that the Japanese made such a fuss and caused such big trouble to help Sheng Di seize the Sheng family's property. When did they become so righteous?" There was something in Huang Yanning's words. He obviously didn't believe that the Japanese wanted to do this.
to conduct a hostage exchange.
"That's because you don't understand the background of Sheng's Industry. Once you understand, you won't be surprised. Of course, you asked well. The Japanese must not only be here for this, they have great ambitions." Lu Ming
smiled.
"Then tell me how big the wealth of Sheng's Industry is." Huang Yanning knew that Sheng Youde's wealth was second to none in Shanghai, but he couldn't figure out the specific scale.
"I don't know either, but I can have a rough estimate." Lu Ming smiled.
Sisters Yuan Ziyuan and Yuan Mingzhu cried and laughed for a while, then separated while wiping away tears.
Yuan Ziyuan went to Sheng Youde and thanked him for saving her. Sheng Youde just looked at her lovingly, as if she were his own daughter. However, one thing made Sheng Youde disappointed. Yuan Ziyuan did not know Mu Yi's
whereabouts.
She and Sheng Muyi planned to run away separately. She would take the Kyonomaru and take the canal route, while Sheng Muyi would take the Mayflower and take the sea route. The two would meet in Tianjin or Peking.
"Isn't there any news about Mu Yi at home?" Yuan Ziyuan was also a little panicked.
"It's okay, she should be hiding somewhere. Neither our people nor the Japanese can find her, which means she is hiding too well. This is also a good thing." Sheng Youde tried his best to look forward to it.
Think of the benefits.
Yuan Ziyuan nodded. Of course she would not say anything unlucky. Although Sheng Muyi was usually indecisive, it was because there were so many helpers at home that she did not need to consider specific issues at all.
After all, she is a person who has crossed the ocean, so she has no shortage of experience. When she is alone outside, her energy for self-protection will be stimulated.
Sheng Youde asked her what she had been through in the past few months and whether she had suffered anything. Yuan Ziyuan told the truth.
Sheng Youde nodded with satisfaction. Just as the Japanese promised, not a hair of Yuan Ziyuan's hair was missing.
After Yuan Mingzhu separated from her sister, she searched for Lu Ming throughout the Liuyuan Garden and would not give up until she found Lu Ming.
Huang Yanning's place is said to be equivalent to a military tent and the safest place in Liuyuan. Lu Ming, who hid here, was eventually found.
"I'm going to kill you." Yuan Mingzhu rushed over and shouted.
"Don't make trouble, you are making people laugh." Lu Ming grabbed Yuan Mingzhu's two small hands and held her tightly in his arms.
When several soldiers nearby saw this scene, they were both amused and envious.
"Lu Ming, how dare you lie to me for months. You almost caused me to lose my sister. I will never forgive you in this life." Yuan Mingzhu cried loudly.
"You will forgive me because you love me." Lu Ming kissed her hair and said.
Yuan Mingzhu was hugged and kissed by him, and her anger disappeared after a while. Instead, she hugged Lu Ming and hummed, thanking him for successfully rescuing her sister.
Sheng Youde credited Lu Ming with all the credit for successfully rescuing Yuan Ziyuan. In fact, this was also the case. Lu Ming had won every step of the matter.
Huang Yanning watched Yuan Mingzhu rush in and couldn't help laughing as he watched the two of them walk out.
The two people who were noisy just now, as if they were facing each other life and death, soon became a loving couple, and they walked out side by side hand in hand.
"Adjutant Huang, when will you be able to do this?" a soldier said with a smile.
"Go on patrol and let you do serious work without energy. Talking about this kind of thing will make you all energetic." Huang Yanning scolded.
The few soldiers who were watching quickly ran away. They had no duty to stand guard or patrol. It was now the changing of the guard break at noon.
Huang Yanning was lying when he said he was not envious, but he was a revolutionary soldier and these were extraordinary times. How could he dare to think about getting married and having children?
In the evening, the Sheng family held a grand banquet. Except for the soldiers on guard and patrol, everyone attended the grand banquet to celebrate Yuan Ziyuan's safe return.
Huang Yanning has been deliberately avoiding Ziyuan, but now he can't.
When Yuan Ziyuan saw Huang Yanning, her eyes lit up, and she took the initiative to come up and extend her hand: "Adjutant Huang, thank you for your generous help."
"Ashamed, I couldn't do anything. Instead, I watched you being taken away by the Japanese. Over the past few months, this incident has been a thorn in my heart." Huang Yanning gently shook Yuan Ziyuan's hand.
.
As a soldier, Huang Yanning was troubled and felt lost because he failed to rescue his compatriots from foreign enemies.
"You can't say that. I took the initiative to leave with the Japanese. Even if you rescued me, I would not leave with you. I had already made up my mind at that time." Yuan Ziyuan told Huang Yanning the situation at that time.
The Japanese threatened her with the lives of all the passengers on the ship and actively cooperated to leave with them. She had no choice but to sacrifice herself.
"So that's it." Huang Yanning felt much better after hearing Ziyuan's explanation.
He had a feeling at the beginning, which he always thought was an illusion, that Ziyon had been cooperating with the Japanese to avoid their tracking and rescue.
After the banquet, sisters Yuan Ziyuan and Yuan Mingzhu moved into Sheng Muyi's room. Although they both had their own residences in the Lingering Garden, they still wanted to live here to feel some of the atmosphere left by Sheng Muyi.
Especially Yuan Ziyuan, when she thought of Sheng Di often going to her residence, she became disgusted with that room and didn't want to step into it again.
"Sister, those Japanese really didn't do anything to harm you."
Yuan Mingzhu wished she could open up her sister and check carefully to see if it was intact. She was still worried whether her sister had deceived her like Lu Ming did.
"No, their target is not me at all. Imprisoning me is just a means." Yuan Ziyuan did not mention the Japanese 520 plan. Since the matter has been canceled and Sheng Youde promised the Japanese side to keep it secret, who knows?
The less the better.
"Sheng Di, this bastard, how could Uncle Sheng agree to let him go? He should be killed a thousand times or ten thousand times to get rid of his hatred." Yuan Mingzhu shouted angrily.
"Don't mention him again. To me, this person is dead." Yuan Ziyuan gritted his teeth and said harshly.
Of course, if Sheng Di is really just a pile of stinky shit, it will only be annoying and not very harmful. In fact, Sheng Di is far more harmful than she imagined.
But now that Sheng Di is going to live in Japan, and the Japanese side has promised not to let him return to mainland China, for Yuan Ziyuan, even if a page in his life has been turned, just treat this person as disappearing completely and disappearing into nothing.
Lu Ming fell into painful contemplation in Sheng Youde's study. He did not expect that Yuan Ziyuan had no idea about Sheng Muyi's whereabouts.
Sheng Muyi definitely did not board the American Mayflower cruise ship. Where did she go?
Lu Ming thought that Yuan Ziyuan and Mu Yi had always had the most tacit understanding, and he could make a rough guess, but there were no valuable clues.
It is conceivable that they were in complete panic when they fled separately, and they had no time to discuss how to contact each other to make more comprehensive arrangements after the first plan failed.
No one could predict how things would develop. There was only one purpose at that time, which was to escape from Shanghai first.
Now that we have reached a hostage exchange with the Japanese and rescued Yuan Ziyuan, it is already a good result.
"Don't be so pessimistic. Let's be more optimistic. Maybe this is a good sign." Sheng Youde comforted Lu Ming.
"A good sign? What does the old man mean by this?" Lu Ming didn't understand.
"Now it seems that Mu Yi hid herself very well and no one noticed her." Sheng Youde said.
"But, what if she really hides from us all her life?" Lu Ming covered his face, unable to suppress the sadness in his heart.
Sheng Youde sighed heavily. He was also afraid of this kind of thing. Sheng Muyi was not only hiding from her enemies, but also from her family.
Sheng Youde knew that his daughter would rather give up all the family property to her younger brother Sheng Di than hope that the Sheng family would end up like this.
That means that Sheng Muyi is completely disappointed, and maybe she really doesn't want to come back. What a price, and what a disappointment.
