Lu Ming sneered and said: "Zheng Chunyue, you underestimate me too much. For my brother, let alone kiss you, even if you ask me to kiss a smelly piece of dog shit, I will accept it. Come on."
Like Zheng Chunyue, he also assumed a posture of looking forward to death.
Cai Lian's eyes were moist. She never thought that Lu Ming would make such a big sacrifice for Zhang Ziyang.
Dujuan bit her lip tightly and stamped her feet anxiously, but she couldn't think of a way.
Hearing this, Zheng Chunyue felt as if she had been slapped a hundred or a thousand times, her face turned pale and her body was shaking a little.
When she saw that Lu Ming was really about to kiss him, and looked as if he was kissing a piece of shit, she couldn't bear it anymore. She slapped Lu Ming, wanting to give Lu Ming a slap in the face.
But he was caught by Lu Ming.
"You want to go back on your word and refuse to fulfill your promise?" Lu Ming asked, staring into her eyes.
"No, you won, you won." Zheng Chunyue suddenly covered her face with her hands and burst into tears.
"Oh, okay, okay." At this time, a man's long sigh came from downstairs.
"Who's down there?" Lu Ming could hear the voice of a man and couldn't help but hold the handle of the gun at his waist.
"Don't be nervous, it's me."
A man in his early thirties slowly walked upstairs, faced everyone with a wry smile and said: "You don't have to make things difficult for Chunyue, she is just a miserable woman. I asked her to deliver that letter, and it was actually a good intention."
"Good intentions? Kidnapping my brother is also a good intention?" Lu Ming pulled out his gun. He didn't believe what this man said.
"This... things are a bit complicated. Come with me, Inspector Zhang is downstairs." The man said slowly.
Lu Ming became vigilant. He didn't know if there would be another trap here, but this was too much of a coincidence.
"Inspector Zhang is in the house at the back. He has always been here and is safe." Zheng Chunyue raised her head and said.
She looked at the man with a somewhat complicated look, as if she wanted to say something, but didn't say it.
Lu Ming was holding the handle of the revolver, but the bullet was not loaded. He also knew that if this place was a trap, it would not be enough for him to do it alone and add a revolver, but he had to work hard.
Walking to the bottom of the stairs, Lu Ming suddenly remembered something and asked, "Excuse me, are you Japanese?"
"No, I am the captain of the Korean Anti-Japanese Volunteer Team of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, An Gonggeun."
"What does the Shanghai Korean Anti-Japanese Volunteer Team do?" Cai Lian was confused as to why they wanted to kidnap Zhang Ziyang.
"I know this. They are Korean anti-Japanese martyrs who are exiled in China. Their ultimate goal is the independence of the Republic of Korea." Lu Ming nodded slightly, expressing respect for the person in front of him, but his expression was still serious.
"Thank you Chinese brothers for your support and help. We will definitely return to our motherland victoriously." An Gonggen said firmly.
After going downstairs, An Gonggen made a gesture to Lu Ming to follow him to the house behind.
"Why can't I recognize your accent? You have an authentic Shanghainese accent." Lu Ming still had doubts about his identity.
"To tell you the truth, I was secretly escorted to Shanghai when I was twelve years old. The Japanese have been hunting me for twenty years." An Gonggen turned his back, feeling a little excited.
Lu Ming was confused. Why were the Japanese hunting down a twelve-year-old Korean boy? Could this man be some special person?
"Uh, Mr. An's life experience... why are the Japanese hunting you?" Lu Ming asked in a tentative tone.
"Twenty years ago, in October 1909, at the Harbin train station in your country, my eldest brother An Junggen killed the culprit of the invasion of North Korea, former Japanese Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi." An Junggen's face showed pride.
expression.
"Oh, it turns out you are An Zhonggen's younger brother, and your eldest brother is a great hero!" Lu Ming was relieved and wanted to go up and hug him, but he still held back.
Japan's first Prime Minister Ito Hirobumi, who was the governor of South Korea at the time, once led the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1894, occupied North Korea, invaded China, forced the Qing Dynasty to sign the Treaty of Shimonoseki, and demanded sky-high compensation. He was a complete war madman and vampire.
Lu Ming still knew about this period of history. In the East Asian studies subjects in the United States, the Sino-Japanese War of 1888-1894 was one of the important topics.
After the Korean Peninsula was occupied by Japan, some revolutionary martyrs who fled to China spontaneously formed the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea. In order to unite the anti-Japanese patriots in exile in Shanghai, they also formed a Korean anti-Japanese volunteer team.
Lu Ming had read some news in several foreign newspapers and knew that there was a Korean anti-Japanese force in Shanghai.
The appearance of An Gonggen made the situation more and more complicated.
However, no matter how complicated the situation is, we must face it.
"The Japanese will not be satisfied with occupying North Korea, their ambitions are still expanding." An Gonggen said facing Lu Ming.
"But... there is no dispute between us, why did you kidnap my brother?" Lu Ming was completely confused.
If the Japanese kidnapped Zhang Ziyang, it would not be surprising, because the case they are currently investigating is related to the Japanese.
But why did people from the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea get involved? When it comes to dealing with Japan, the goals of China and South Korea should be the same.
An Gonggen didn't answer, as if he had something to hide.
He led the way and took Lu Ming and the others to a warehouse at the back. He knocked on the door and the door opened, but the lights were bright inside.
Lu Ming had already put the pistol back into his waist. Since he was the Korean martyr An Gonggen, there was no need to use force anyway.
"Inspector Zhang, your brother, your woman is here to see you." An Gonggen said, turning aside and making an invitation gesture.
"Who is here? An Gonggen, you bastard, don't lie to me, how could my brother find him here?" A drunken voice came from inside, who could it be if it wasn't Zhang Ziyang.
"Fake, you bastard! You little brat!" Lu Ming became angry at this moment, using foreign curses mixed with Shanghainese "hai" curses.
In the past two days, the soles of his feet were almost worn out because of Zhang's search for Ziyang's whereabouts. This guy was actually hiding here drinking, and he was very drunk. What the hell was going on.
Cai Lian passed through the crowd and walked into the warehouse quickly, screaming: "Zi Yang, I have found you!"
Then……
Lu Ming wanted to rush in and give Zhang Ziyang a punch, but he stopped at this moment. He should leave these few minutes to the fateful couple.
"I'm not lying to you, Inspector Zhang was a guest here, and we had good food, drink, and hospitality, and we didn't suffer anything." An Gonggen said sarcastically.
"But...why is this happening?" Lu Ming still couldn't figure it out.
The Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea has not been recognized by any country or government in the world, and even the Republic of Korea government only acquiesced.
However, all countries in the world sympathize with the suffering of the Korean people. In China, both the Republic of China government and civil forces are secretly supporting this provisional government. Although their road to recovery is long and there is no end in sight for the time being.
In Shanghai, even people like Du Yuesheng, in order to protect Korean patriots, specifically allowed the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea to be established on their own territory in the French Concession.
It can be said that as long as their demands are not too outrageous, whether it is the Republic of China government, Du Yuesheng or the people in Shanghai, they will agree and provide assistance.
So, if you, the people of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, and the people of the Shanghai Police Department cannot discuss anything carefully, why are you kidnapping?
As far as Lu Ming knew, when the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was established, people from all walks of life in Shanghai also contributed money and efforts. Sheng Youde donated a huge sum of money, and Du Yuesheng also dug into his pocket.
"It was my men who did it. After I found out, it was too late to stop it, so I could only do my best to deal with the aftermath." An Gonggen explained.
"You bastard, you are really good at finding me. You found me even when I hid here. Haha, brother Gonggen, if you lose, I will tell him that he will definitely find me. His nose is sharper than a dog's."
." Zhang Ziyang rushed out at this moment, hugging Lu Ming and laughing.
The smell of alcohol coming out of his mouth almost made Lu Ming drunk. It was obvious that this guy had nothing to do here and only drank all day long.
"You are the dog." Lu Ming was rude and gave him a fake back throw with all his strength.
"Be gentle, be gentle, waist, my waist." Zhang Ziyang cried out in pain.
"Beat him. We almost got sick because of him. He's doing well. He's hiding here and drinking every day. Is there a beauty with him?" Cai Lian also came out at this time, her eyes were red, maybe she was crying.
Still angry.
"I didn't hide it on purpose. This matter is a bit complicated. Let's talk about it slowly." After Zhang Ziyang saw Cai Lian and Lu Ming, his mood was agitated and he was mostly sober.
"Come back with us now. Since you're fine, we won't pursue the previous matter." Lu Ming sighed.
"No, I can't go back with you now." Zhang Ziyang stood up and patted his butt.
"Why? Are you really reluctant to leave this comfort zone?" Cai Lian was angry, her eyebrows raised.
"No, they have another big move. I have to cooperate. I have already promised. I can't just keep my word." Zhang Ziyang said anxiously.
"I don't care whether we take action or not. It has nothing to do with us and it has nothing to do with you. You go back with us now." Lu Ming said with a cold face.
He had already guessed the action Zhang Ziyang was talking about. No matter what it was, he didn't want to get involved. He had enough troubles of his own.
"Inspector Zhang, you should go back with your brother and woman. The plan has changed. The original plan will not work." An Gonggen said lonely.
"If the original plan doesn't work, isn't there a new alternative plan? The plan I told you is guaranteed to come true. This brother of mine is absolutely reliable in his work." Zhang Ziyang pointed at Lu Ming and said.
Lu Ming puffed smoke out of his nose angrily. This bastard had sold him out long ago and he was drinking and enjoying himself there.
"Master Lu, can we talk?" An Gonggen asked.
"Brother, give me some face and talk to them. They are amazing and deserve sympathy." Zhang Ziyang said.
"I didn't expect that you would still have compassion overflowing. I know better than you whether they are great or not." Lu Ming said angrily.
"That's because you don't understand me yet. I have the kindest heart." Zhang Ziyang said.
"Master Lu, please." Zheng Chunyue suddenly came up and bowed.
"If I guess correctly, are you a compatriot of Mr. An?" Lu Ming suddenly understood that Zheng Chunyue must be a Korean, but he may have been born and raised in China, but after all, his roots are still in North Korea.
Zheng Chunyue nodded.
"Okay, let's talk about it."
"Can these two ladies keep their mouth shut?" An Gonggen asked, looking at Cai Lian and Du Juan.
"What? If we can't keep it a secret, will we kill people and silence them?" Lu Ming said angrily.
"That's not true. What I mean is that if they can't keep a secret, we don't have to talk about it."
"Then let's not talk about it." Lu Ming responded, preparing to leave.
He was in a bad mood at this time, mainly because the channel change was too sudden and unbelievable. Not only was Zhang Ziyang fine, but he also hooked up with his kidnapper, acting like brothers.
He felt like he had been betrayed, and like a dog trying to catch a mouse, and he was really angry for a moment.
An Gonggen didn't know what to say. Zhang Ziyang hurriedly came up and said, "Brother, don't be like this. Everyone has a responsibility to deal with the little Japanese. Don't forget that the Japanese assassinated you."
"Of course I remember that I was blocked in the hospital by these bastards two days ago and almost killed me. I will avenge this myself and will not do it to others." Lu Ming said coldly.
"What? The Japanese attacked you again?" Zhang Ziyang was shocked.
"Mr. An Gonggen, if you have anything to say, you can say it. We can discuss anything, but don't force us to swear confidentiality or anything like that. We don't have that obligation." Lu Ming breathed out and softened a little.
"Brother Gonggen, I'm here to tell him that this guy is too stubborn." Zhang Ziyang pulled Lu Ming into the warehouse.
