Lu Ming took Du Juan to the restaurant for breakfast. He ate too late last night and hadn't fully digested it yet. The two of them grabbed a bowl of vegetable porridge and ate it.
"I want to go back today. I wanted to stay with you for a few more days, but I think it's a bit redundant for me to be here." Du Juan said apologetically.
"Go back, as you can see, I have nothing to do here. I invite friends to eat and drink every day, which is a waste of time." Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
He didn't want anyone to stay here with him, and he didn't know what would happen in the future. If he followed Sheng Muyi's inference, there might be great risks.
Mr. Jiang is not a soft-hearted person. He weighs the pros and cons like a gambler. Once he doesn't get what he wants, he is likely to act cruelly to vent his anger.
If someone else is here to accompany him, not only will it not be able to help him, but it will make him worry more. If he is alone, he will have nothing to fear.
He has the spirit of a bachelor and is willing to cut himself off, and he can do it when necessary. Anyway, he is not the only child in the family, and he is not afraid that no one in the family will inherit the family.
"Then you should be careful everywhere here. I see there are many people watching you outside." Du Juan warned.
"Don't worry, I usually stay at home and cultivate my moral character. I don't go anywhere. I want to buy two Buddhist scriptures and read them in the past two days." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"Don't try. If you become a Taoist and become a monk like Master Hongyi, Mingzhu will have to jump off the building." Du Juan was startled.
"What will you do if I really become a monk?" Lu Ming scared her.
"I won't jump off the building, I'll jump off the well." Du Juan bit her lip and said.
"Don't worry, I don't have wisdom. The Buddhists won't want me. Let's talk about it in the next life." Lu Ming laughed.
"Those monks only want money and don't care whether you have wisdom or not. Besides, there are thousands of monks in the world, and there are a few who are as wise as Master Hongyi, and they are all just for a living." Du Juan covered her mouth and laughed.
"You are lying and slandering the Buddha. Your sin is not small and you will go to hell after death." Lu Ming warned.
"Then get off, I'm not afraid, as long as you can go to heaven." Dujuan raised her head and said.
"I can't go to heaven. Heaven doesn't want me. I don't believe in Christ." Lu Ming took a few mouthfuls of porridge and stopped because he really lost his appetite.
The two chatted and laughed, and Du Juan felt that all the unhappiness that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time disappeared.
If Du Juan hadn't been in a hurry to go back and report the news she heard from Zhang Ziyang to Wang Kaiyun, she would have stayed with Lu Ming for a few days, and she would have really been reluctant to do so.
However, what if the information disclosed by Zhang Ziyang is true? It is a matter of life and death and must not be delayed.
As for having plenty of time to accompany Lu Ming, she originally planned to spend her whole life accompanying him, not caring about just one or two days.
After the two of them finished eating, they just walked out of the restaurant when they saw a handsome attendant approaching. When he saw him, he immediately stood up and said, "Sir Lu, do you still know me?"
"I know you. Aren't you the aide-de-camp of Dean Wang?" Lu Ming recognized him at a glance. The last time he went to Wang's Mansion, it was this person who showed him the way.
"This is the invitation from Dean Wang to you. Please attend the dinner party with Ms. Sheng Muyi, Ms. Yuan Ziyuan and Ms. Yuan Mingzhu. A car will pick you up at six o'clock in the evening. Please wait." The attendant said,
A gold-gilded invitation was handed over.
There was a buzz in Lu Ming's mind. He had escaped from Nanjing City by crawling and crawling last time. Now that Mr. Wang's claws were out again, he really had no place to escape.
If he dares to escape from Nanjing, he is guaranteed to be arrested by those outside monitoring him on the pretext of absconding in fear of crime.
Besides, Mr. Wang's invitation has been sent, and there is no place to escape unless he escapes to the United States.
"Thank you, Dean Wang, for your kindness. We will wait for you tonight." Lu Ming gritted his teeth.
"Thank you." The attendant turned his feet, turned around, and walked away.
Lu Ming also admired these high-ranking officials. Their attendants were all handsome and elegant.
Many people praised Lu Ming for his beauty. Even Mrs. Wang said that he was the most handsome man in the Republic of China, much more beautiful than Zhang Hanqing.
If he could compare his looks with the young marshal, he wouldn't be afraid, but let's forget it.
However, he felt that the so-called beauties of the Republic of China were all picked out by some people because of their bad feet. Even among the attendants he saw, any one he picked at random was much more handsome than the so-called beauties.
"Who is this beautiful officer?" Even Du Juan was stunned.
"She's pretty, she's Dean Wang's attendant." Lu Ming said.
"She is quite beautiful, but not as beautiful as you." Du Juan smiled.
"I said to you people, is it really that difficult to tell the truth? Can't you admit that others are prettier than me?" Lu Ming lamented.
"I'm telling the truth. That officer is good-looking, but he's really not as beautiful as you." Du Juan said with wide eyes.
Lu Ming shook his head and smiled bitterly, and stopped arguing about this issue.
As far as his many years of experience are concerned, if you want to evaluate a man's appearance, you must be a man. If men think that another man is really beautiful, then he is really beautiful.
The same is true for women. If you can make a beautiful woman think that the other person is particularly beautiful, then this woman is a real beauty. Men's words will not work.
"This afternoon, you, Cai Lian, Zi Yang, and the three of you should go back. I guess I won't be able to stay in Nanjing for a few days. In the evening, Mu Yi, Zi Yuan, and Ming Zhu are going to attend Dean Wang's dinner party.
.I will ask them to go back tomorrow." Lu Ming said.
"Who is Dean Wang? Is he a high official?" Du Juan never cared about politics before and didn't know who the important officials were in the government.
"Well, he's not an ordinary high-ranking official, he's at the leadership level. He even dares to scold Chairman Chiang Kai-shek, and he does it in front of his face, not behind his back." Lu Ming could only tell Du Juan in this way.
Of course Du Juan knew who Chairman Chiang was, because news about him often appeared on newspaper headlines, and sometimes there were photos of him.
"This Dean Wang is so brave. How could Chairman Chiang accept it? He was not arrested."
Du Juan does not understand the complex and subtle relationships between the upper echelons. In her opinion, Chairman Chiang is the past emperor. Who dares to scold the emperor in person?
"Mr. Wang joined the revolution earlier than Chairman Chiang and has senior qualifications. Now he is second to Chairman Chiang. He is unwilling to do so. He will lose his temper with Chairman Chiang when he finds an opportunity. This is normal." Lu Ming had no choice but to explain in this way.
After the two of them went upstairs, the top floor was still quiet. They didn't know if these people were sleeping or doing something quietly.
"Come to my room and sit for a while?" Du Juan invited.
"Forget it, I have to ask Mu Yi to study this matter." Lu Ming waved the invitation in his hand and said.
Du Juan could only shrug her shoulders, said nothing, and went back to her room.
Lu Ming knocked on Sheng Muyi's door. After a while, Sheng Muyi opened the door in confusion, and saw that it was him who didn't get angry.
"Did something big happen?" Sheng Muyi knew that if nothing happened, Lu Ming would not be so reckless and knock on the door early in the morning.
"Mr. Wang invited us to attend a dinner at his house." Lu Ming said after coming in.
"He's very well-informed, isn't he? We just arrived yesterday afternoon, and the invitation was delivered this morning?" Sheng Muyi was also surprised.
"What do you think? Mr. Wang is better at intelligence than Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang already knows it. How can he not know it?"
"Mr. Jiang didn't send an invitation, did he?" Sheng Muyi asked quickly.
"I don't have the invitation, but the security measures outside have been doubled. There used to be only three or four people outside, but now I see seven or eight, not including those who live in the building and have not shown up." Lu Ming said.
.
"Why are there so many bodyguards? Isn't Nanjing's public security bad?" Sheng Muyi asked in surprise.
"Of course the public security in Nanjing is good. Mr. Jiang may be afraid that if your sisters lose a hair, it will be difficult for him to explain." Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
"It's really troublesome. I wanted to come over and spend time with you, but it seems I have to leave quickly." Sheng Muyi said with a headache.
"That's right. After attending Mr. Wang's dinner party tonight, you should leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning, otherwise you won't be able to leave. I estimate that the next person who invites you to dinner will immediately follow suit and will have to wait until next month." Lu Ming
said.
"Let's discuss it after they all get up. Let's leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning, otherwise Mr. Jiang, Mr. Song, Mr. Kong, and Mr. Chen will all be sending invitations. My father warned me before I came, so go and come back as soon as possible.
, don’t stay too long." Sheng Muyi curled her lips and said.
