"Why did you let them go? Didn't you warn me?" Lu Ming said in surprise.
"I told the people from the Military Justice Department that you can move freely in Nanjing from now on and do whatever you want, but you can't leave Nanjing." Mr. Wenbai waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Ah, that's great." Liu Qiwen behind her jumped up happily.
"Is this what the appointment means?" Lu Ming asked in a low voice.
"Of course not, he is very stubborn, but since it is my arrangement, there will be no problem, just don't worry." Mr. Wenbai said confidently.
"That's not possible. If you want to let me out of this room, you have to personally give the order. Otherwise, I will draw a wall as a prison and not step out of that door." Lu Ming said.
"What kind of temper are you kidding? It's up to me to do this. The military police have withdrawn. Are we going to let them come back?" Mr. Wenbai shook his head.
"General, it's not that I don't listen to you, but this matter is like pouring a bucket of dirty water on me. If you don't give me a satisfactory result, I won't have the shame to return to Shanghai." Lu Ming said aggrievedly.
"Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory answer and let you return to Shanghai in glory." Mr. Wenbai patted him on the shoulder.
"That's good. If that's the case, I'll listen to you." Lu Ming accepted it.
In Nanjing, Lu Ming only trusted one person, and that was Mr. Wenbai in front of him.
Sheng Youde once told Lu Ming: In Nanjing, I can't do anything that Mr. Wenbai can't do, and Mr. Wenbai can definitely do anything that I can do.
There is another implication of this sentence, which is to make Lu Ming completely trust Mr. Wenbai.
The three of them came to the courtyard, where several of Mr. Wenbai's entourage were standing. None of them entered the main entrance of the hotel.
Lu Ming said to Liu Qiwen who was following behind him: "Go and play with Liu Cuicui. Just come back early."
"Okay." Liu Qiwen ran out of the yard like a canary that was released.
"Uh, you guys live together?" Mr. Wenbai asked looking at Liu Qiwen's back.
"No, we were just arranged in a room, and I slept on the sofa at night." Lu Ming said.
"Can you really bear it? If I were to go back ten years and live in a house with such a beauty, I wouldn't be able to bear it," Mr. Wenbai joked.
"What's the matter? I'm a boy, so I can't do it casually for the first time." Lu Ming said proudly.
Lu Ming has also been restless these days, and Liu Qiwen teases him from time to time, but this is after all, during the period of house arrest, so it is normal for Lu Ming to be in a low mood.
Occasionally, he got interested, but Lu Ming kept reminding himself that the first time must be reserved for the wedding room and left to Mingzhu, so that he would not have any regrets.
"That means you can do whatever you want after the first time, is that what you mean?" Mr. Wenbai teased him deliberately.
"General, you are digging a hole for me. How can I answer you?" Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
"I'm just teasing you. To be honest, I admire you very much. There are only two aspects where men can't control themselves the most. One is money and the other is women. I have never worried about you in terms of money. I used to
I was really worried that you would make mistakes when it comes to women, but now it seems I don’t have to worry anymore, you can really guard your inner defense."
When Mr. Wenbai said this, Lu Ming understood what he meant. It turned out that Mr. Wenbai had high hopes for him, and all his teasing was hidden secrets.
"I believe in a Taoist's saying: Picking up a huge amount of gold in the wilderness, meeting a widow in a darkroom, and hearing that an enemy is dying are the three touchstones for a man. I don't know if I can pass the last hurdle, but I can do it without bullying the darkroom.
We can do it." Lu Ming said.
"It's not easy. I never thought that after receiving Western education, you could still uphold the essence of our Eastern culture." Mr. Wenbai praised him heartily.
"Actually, even if I don't have that line of defense in my heart, I won't indulge myself. I know there are military police at the door, and the listening room of the Military Justice Department should be next door. They must have placed a recording device in that bedroom, just waiting for me.
Making mistakes and stains on one's personal character can be considered as a source of leverage." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Do you know they arranged it like this?" Mr. Wenbai asked in surprise.
"I don't know, I guessed it." Lu Ming shrugged and said.
He really didn't know if there was a listening device next door, but the Military Justice Department insisted on putting him and Liu Qiwen in the same room.
Moreover, there was only one bed in the house, and the sofa in the living room could almost break a person's bones.
What does such an arrangement mean? You can figure it out with your heels.
However, this method is too belittling, or the fishing hook is too straight.
"You guessed it right at first, but I stopped them after I found out, so there really was no eavesdropping equipment installed next door." Mr. Wenbai laughed.
"That's true. Then I don't think my guess is wrong. You are interfering from outside." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Then do you regret it? Nothing happened and you missed the opportunity." Mr. Wenbai was really teasing him this time.
"Of course not. If I want something to happen, it doesn't happen anytime and anywhere. I just don't want to do that." Lu Ming said easily.
"Well, do you know why I haven't come to see you?" Mr. Wenbai asked, changing the topic. This was obviously a very serious topic.
"Well, I can't guess, but you must have a reason for not coming. Just because you don't come doesn't mean you don't care about me. I understand this." Lu Ming really thought so.
"It's good that you understand. In fact, it was Duke Sheng who called me and asked me not to come over to see you too early. He said it was to give the commission a face. Doesn't the commission have suspicions about you? Then just let him check it out.
Let’s see what he can find out in the end?” Mr. Wenbai said.
"Uncle Sheng is afraid that if you intervene from the beginning, some people will say that you are protecting me. He doesn't want you to get involved."
Lu Ming didn't think much about it. He actually didn't want Mr. Wenbai to intervene too early. It was just a matter like this. It was best not to make it more complicated.
"That's not entirely the case. I think what Duke Sheng means is to compete with the committee. He doesn't accept this tone and wants to see what the committee can do to you. These two brothers have been fighting for so many years, and they are obviously both
For the sake of the country, I don’t know what to fight for, and I can’t persuade you.” Mr. Wenbai said.
Lu Ming didn't say anything. Sheng Youde was in Hong Kong, not in Shanghai. Of course, he didn't know whether he was back or not, but Sheng Youde must have known right away that he was taken to Nanjing by the Military Justice Department.
If Sheng Youde didn't play his life-saving trump card, it was because the time hadn't come yet.
The Mr. Wenbai in front of him was Lu Ming's second life-saving trump card.
Since it is a life-saving trump card, it is best not to use it casually, otherwise it will be wasted long ago. This is Sheng Youde's idea and approach.
"Yesterday, Dean Wang suddenly came over and scolded the committee members. They were so angry that they fainted. I didn't expect that Dean Wang valued you so much. When did he contact you?"
Mr. Wenbai really doesn't know why Dean Wang is so aggressive. Is it just an excuse or is it just love that goes too far?
After all, Lu Ming is a junior. Although he is somewhat talented, he is not capable of allowing a leader-level figure to challenge the committee members.
"The last time I came to Nanjing to receive honors, Mr. Wang treated me to a meal," Lu Ming said.
"No wonder you ran away the next day. You did the right thing. Don't get too close to that person. It's dangerous." Mr. Wenbai warned.
"I know, Uncle Sheng also reminded me." Lu Ming said carefully.
"The two of them are too ambitious and their desires are hard to satisfy. It's really hard to say what will happen in the future." Mr. Wenbai said, looking at the clear blue sky in May.
Lu Ming did not answer. He had no say in a fight between characters at this level, so he could only follow Mr. Wenbai and look up at the sky.
"General, you won't really send me to a military court this time, right?" Lu Ming asked with a wry smile.
"Don't worry about this. Now that we've checked it out, you'll be fine. Even if you make a careless mistake, as long as you're not really a communist, it won't be like that. The Kuomintang can't afford to send a recipient of the Medal of the Blue Sky to a military court.
This person." Mr. Wenbai said with a hearty smile.
"This is very simple. With just one sentence from Mr. Jiang, wouldn't he take my medal back? Take it back and try again?" Lu Ming asked.
"Even if your medal is taken back, you are still a former recipient of the Blue Sky and White Sun Medal. No one can take this away from you. I said you are worried about this. Doesn't it mean that someone really has something to hold on to? I
But I will vouch for you with my head in front of the committee."
Mr. Wenbai looked at him suspiciously, his eyes burning brightly, making Lu Ming's hair stand on end.
