While they were talking, a little boy suddenly opened the door and came in. He called his father and said that he wanted to go out to buy marshmallows, but his mother wouldn't let him out.
Hou Liang smiled awkwardly at Lu Ming, stood up slowly from the wheelchair, and said to a woman standing at the door: "Take him to buy it. Just be careful. Go and come back quickly."
Lu Ming looked at the tiger-headed little boy in front of him and liked it very much. He took out two pieces of chocolate from his pocket and handed them to him. The little boy looked at the colorful wrapping paper in Lu Ming's hand, his eyes shining.
But the light in the little boy's eyes quickly dimmed, and then he shook his head and put his hands behind his body, but his eyes never left the two pieces of chocolate that Lu Ming handed over.
Hou Liang said to the little boy: "Wangwang, take it. You can take this uncle's candies, but not other people's."
The little boy smiled mischievously, quickly took the candy from Lu Ming's hand, and ran out the door.
Lu Ming also laughed and said, "The child is suffering. He shouldn't stay in this place."
"Uh, Chief Lu, I want to talk to you alone, okay?" Hou Liang said with a slight change in his expression.
"Of course, you can go out for a while." Lu Ming said to the four agents.
Of course, these four agents did not dare to say anything, so they all exited obediently, and then stood guard all around.
"Do you have any special requests?" Lu Ming asked curiously.
"It is indeed very special. I wonder if Chief Lu can trust me?" Hou Liang said.
At this time, Lu Ming suddenly discovered that a light flashed in Hou Liang's eyes. This light was not the desire for life, but the desire for fighting.
When the Anti-Japanese War broke out in Songhu on 128, Lu Ming had seen this kind of light in the eyes of many soldiers, but now he saw it again in Hou Liang's eyes, which made him feel a little strange.
"Just say it," Lu Ming said calmly.
"I want to entrust my woman and child to you, but I don't know..." Hou Liang stopped talking and looked at Lu Ming with longing eyes.
"What does this mean? Now that your family is reunited, it will continue to be like this in the future, isn't it great?" Lu Ming said in surprise.
"Sir Lu, the anti-traitor team will not let me go. Even I can't let myself go." Hou Liang smiled bitterly.
"What do you mean? Do you want to commit suicide?" Lu Ming became alert.
"I will not commit suicide. I know that they take care of me so much because they think I still have value worth exploring. If not, who would care about me being a disabled person? But you are different. You have never thought about it.
What is being squeezed out of me?"
Lu Ming smiled: "The people I told you are from the same family, we are all colleagues."
"No, it's different, I can feel it." Hou Liang said like a gambler, his face began to turn red, and blood was obviously welling up.
Indeed, he was betting, and he was betting on the fate of the woman and child he loved most.
"It's interesting. Tell me, what do you need me to do for you?" Lu Ming said with a smile.
"When I go to the hospital tomorrow, the children will go to an English teacher's home to make up lessons. I hope you can send someone to take them away. It is best to cause a kidnapping scene." Hou Liang said.
"You want to get rid of them? You don't want to escape, right?" Lu Ming suddenly thought of this possibility.
"Where can I escape? Can I, a cripple, escape from three spies?" Hou Liang said calmly.
"Then what do you mean?" Lu Ming was a little confused.
"You will understand later. I ask you to help me once. Of course I can't repay you with anything. I can only repay the kindness I owe you in my next life." Hou Liang bowed his hands in his wheelchair.
Lu Ming did not immediately agree to Hou Liang. He felt that Hou Liang had an air of death, but could not guess the real purpose of Hou Liang's strange request.
Hou Liang begged Lu Ming to send someone to kidnap his women and children and arrange them properly, but what about himself? What on earth did he want to do?
"Don't you want to run away? If you want to run away, I can help you." Lu Ming walked to the door, opened a crack and looked outside.
"Sir Lu, since I was caught by them, I have been a dead person. For my woman and children, I have become a ghost again. Living like this is more unbearable than suffering those tortures. I should have
That's enough." Hou Liang said with some excitement.
Lu Ming smiled bitterly. Hou Liang separated him from the Fuxing Society and always talked about them instead of you. In his eyes, was he really different from the other people in the Fuxing Society?
Why does Hou Liang think so?
Could this be a test arranged by Dai Li and Weng Bailing?
Lu Ming couldn't help but become alert and did not express his position immediately.
"Sir, please believe me. I just don't want my woman and children to be held hostage every day. I have no other intention." Hou Liang explained urgently.
It wouldn't be a test. Lu Ming immediately made a judgment.
If it were a test, Hou Liang would never use his favorite woman and child as bargaining chips to cooperate with Dai Li and Weng Bailing.
Hou Liang is not living for himself, but for his woman and children. This is the only reason for him to live, so no matter how Dai Li and Weng Bailing force him, he will not agree to use his woman and children to test Lu Ming
.
Lu Ming planned in his mind that if he rescued his woman and child, he could first hide near Shanghai and wait for Hou Liang's next move before making a decision.
Furthermore, even if Dai Li and Weng Bailing were really testing him, so what? It could be said that they were testing whether there were any omissions in Hou Liang's security measures.
If Hou Liang turns against him, he can immediately hand over his woman and children to Dai Li, and this will not arouse the suspicion of the Communist Party.
Lu Ming made such a request to Hou Liang. Although he didn't understand the reason, he thought it wouldn't be a bad thing, so he didn't want to get to the bottom of it. Since Hou Liang's attitude was sincere and urgent, he might as well give it a try.
"Okay, when will the child go to the English teacher's house to study tomorrow?" Lu Ming asked.
"I will go to the hospital at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. They will leave at two twenty and arrive at the English teacher's house at two thirty." Hou Liang said, his face shining with joy.
"Okay, find an opportunity to talk to your woman. When you take them away tomorrow, cooperate and don't resist."
After Lu Ming finished speaking, he shook hands with Hou Liang and walked out of the room. Four agents quickly followed him.
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, brothers. When your errands are over, I will treat you all to dinner."
"Thank you, Chief Lu."
"Sir Lu, I want to eat steak." An agent said boldly.
"Eating steak is very simple. If you have any other ideas, just say it boldly." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"I want to drink French wine and eat lobster." Another agent said boldly, licking his lips.
"Okay, okay, no problem. Everyone, please protect Mr. Hou and his family. Don't let them have any accidents. Drinking and eating are just a waste of time." Lu Ming said while walking, wagging his two fingers.
"Don't worry, the underground party won't dare to cause trouble. This place is very close to the Army General Hospital. As long as we make a call, the people from the Army General Hospital's security company will be dispatched immediately." An agent said.
"Ah That's good."
When Lu Ming walked out of the hotel door, Hou Liang's woman and child just came back. The little boy was holding marshmallows in his hands and eating them happily.
"Hello, Chief Lu, thank you for taking care of our family." Mrs. Hou bowed and saluted.
"It's nothing, everything should be done." Lu Ming bowed and said.
The little boy didn't look like Hou Liang, but looked like his mother. He was already somewhat familiar with Lu Ming. He looked at Lu Ming with a smile and called him uncle. Lu Ming stepped forward and gently stroked the child's head.
After leaving the hotel, Lu Ming did not return to the Fuxingshe Building. He stopped and called An Gonggen on the way, and asked him to meet at Wanguo Apartment immediately.
An Gonggen rushed to Wanguo Apartment quickly, and Lu Ming told him Hou Liang's request.
"What does this guy want to do?" An Gonggen asked contemptuously.
In his heart, An Gonggen looked down on people like Hou Liang, so he found it a bit incredible that Lu Ming suggested helping him.
The Japanese have done this a lot by using family members to hold revolutionaries hostage, but Korean revolutionaries have never accepted this kind of coercion.
If you cooperate with the enemy because you are afraid of the enemy's revenge on your family, then you are a traitor and there is no room for excuse.
"I don't know, but I have promised him that you will find a few unfamiliar brothers to do this tomorrow, and then send Mrs. Hou and the child to Jiaxing for resettlement. If there is no problem, I will find another way later.
, send them to Huzhou."
Lu Ming has already thought about how to settle Hou Liang's women and children. The best place is his hometown in Huzhou, where the Lu family basically belongs.
