Liu Qiwen had never realized that Lu Ming and Du Juan had such a deep relationship before. If something happened to Mingzhu, it would not be surprising for Lu Ming to have these reactions.
As a woman and Lu Ming's personal secretary, she always felt that the relationship between Lu Ming and Du Juan was abnormal and not at all like what others had speculated.
But what is strange is that Lu Ming never minds others spreading the so-called scandal between him and Du Juan, nor does he refute other people's criticisms.
He almost openly accepted the lover relationship that others confirmed for them in private.
The problem lies here, how can lovers not see each other several times a month? And even if they do meet, the two of them are rarely alone together. This is simply the relationship between good friends.
It turned out that Liu Qiwen thought that Lu Ming was afraid that Mingzhu would be jealous, so she did not dare to be alone with Du Juan. However, after Mingzhu went abroad, instead of increasing contact with Du Juan, Lu Ming seemed a little distant.
The only thing she knew was that Lu Ming cared very much about Du Juan, understood everything about her, and then carefully protected her, that's all.
Liu Qiwen finally realized something. Lu Ming just wanted others to say that he and Du Juan were lovers. He thought this was the best way to protect Du Juan.
In other words, Lu Ming would rather sacrifice his own moral reputation to support Du Juan. This is his attitude towards Du Juan.
Of course, human feelings are complicated. It cannot be said that Lu Ming is purer than Liu Xiahui. This is also impossible. Facing Du Juan, he has also been moved, and even had the idea of going further.
However, he did not do it after all. He hoped to watch Du Juan grow up, get rid of the entanglement of fate, and create a new life of her own.
After all, this is a proposition of the times during the Republic of China. Can women be self-reliant and no longer subordinate to men?
In fact, this proposition still exists to this day. Even in developed Western countries, the topic of feminism continues, with innovations in form and content, but the core continues and has not ended.
Didn’t Simone de Beauvoir write The Second Sex, which shocked the world? This work, which caused great repercussions in the ideological community and became a feminist classic, actually hides a bitter psychological journey of the author behind it.
"Sir, let me tell you something that you may not like to hear. Common people have a saying that is good. If you don't deserve to die, you can always be saved. Many times, a person's life, death, wealth, and fortune are his or her life, and it is not something that others can interfere with or control."
Liu Qiwen could only use this method to enlighten Lu Ming, because other methods had no effect at all, so it was better not to say anything.
"You mean to leave Du Juan to her fate and no one will save her?" Lu Ming said with his eyes widened. His eyes had been filled with bloodshot eyes for a long time.
"Of course I don't mean that. I just mean that if Miss Du Juan is saved, she will definitely be saved. If she is destined to suffer such a calamity, then there is nothing anyone can do. Many times people have to accept their fate." Liu Qiwen smiled bitterly.
road.
"Qiwen, you should go to fortune-telling instead of sitting here as a secretary, which is an underachievement." Lu Ming said sarcastically.
Liu Qiwen wasn't angry either. She just said what needed to be said. It was up to Lu Ming whether she listened or not.
Liu Qiwen still believes in destiny. She believes in the saying that destiny should be eight feet long, but it is difficult to find one foot long.
Therefore, no matter what happens to her, whether she encounters any injustice or bad luck, she will balance her mentality with the idea that this is how she is destined to be.
She is very satisfied now. She has become Lu Ming's personal secretary and lives in a suite of the most expensive Chinachem Hotel in Shanghai. She has the same food and clothing expenses as your wife. She thinks this is God's punishment for her suffering in the past twenty years.
Compensation in life.
But she was even more grateful to Lu Ming. She knew that she was where she was today, all because of Lu Ming. It could be said that Lu Ming gave her all this. Maybe Lu Ming was the messenger of God and the noble person in her life.
"Sir, that's actually what I said. If you really want to go to Dalian, I will go too. You don't have to take me with you, then I will go by myself." Liu Qiwen took the opportunity to express her attitude.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, why did you get involved? I went to Dalian and had my own thoughts and purposes. Do you have any?" Lu Ming was amused by Liu Qiwen's childish thoughts.
"Of course I do. I'll go and exchange it for Du Juan, from the head office." Liu Qiwen looked upright and awe-inspiring.
"Um, mother, are you crazy? Du Juan was arrested, and I am still worried. You want to involve yourself again? Do you think this is buy one, get one free?" Lu Ming went crazy.
"I don't care. Anyway, if you go to Dalian, I'll go too, and I'll go by myself! It's worth it for me to trade my second place for first place." Liu Qiwen took advantage of the situation and poured herself a glass of whiskey.
"Why exchange second place for first place? Why can't I understand what you are saying?" Lu Ming frowned and looked at Liu Qiwen stupidly.
"Except for Sister Mingzhu, Miss Du Juan ranks first in the minds of the officers, and I rank second. Is this true?" Liu Qiwen said in a completely challenging tone.
"Oh, this is all such a mess." Lu Ming just took a sip of wine and spat it out, "Qiwen, you are not going to save Du Juan, you are trying to kill me."
"Then just listen to Brother Huang and don't go to Dalian." Liu Qiwen smiled proudly, and the method of stimulating generals was finally a complete success.
It is said that it is a way to provoke the general, but this is actually Liu Qiwen's true idea. If Lu Ming dares to go, she will really dare to accompany him to the end. Anyway, he is determined to follow Commander Lu in this life, and he will die without regrets.
Lu Ming stopped talking. He covered his eyes with his hands and muttered to himself. He didn't know what shameful words he said.
Huang Yanning and Liu Qiwen, the two closest people at work, each gave him a sap, which really made Lu Ming calm down.
Lu Ming was originally going to have a showdown with Weng Bailing, but he has no intention of doing so now. Du Juan has been taken to Dalian and has completely fallen into the hands of the Japanese. What will happen to him even if he kills Weng Bailing?
As for the identity of the robbers, there is no need to check. They must be Japanese. They have already planned to escape Shanghai as soon as they get the robbers, and then take a boat from Ningbo to Dalian.
Lu Ming checked specifically, and sure enough, the day after Du Juan's accident, there was a ship bound for Dalian at Ningbo Aojiang Port.
At noon the next day, the telecommunications room suddenly received an urgent telegram, and the telecommunications section chief personally delivered the telegram to Lu Ming.
Lu Ming looked at the message, and there was only one line on it: The target has boarded the ship and is heading east to Japan.
Lu Ming suddenly covered his mouth, then ran to the trash can in the corner and vomited. He didn't eat much last night. He just drank a lot of wine and didn't eat breakfast. Lunch hadn't come yet, and his stomach
It had been empty for a long time, and now all it was vomiting out was green bile.
In a daze, he remembered Taoist priest Qiu's mysterious words: This person is going to the east. Then his vision went dark and he fainted.
When Lu Ming woke up, he found several figures shaking in front of him.
"Sir, wake up."
"Great, sir, you're awake."
…
Several people shouted in surprise.
Lu Ming could hear the voices of Huang Yanning, Liu Qiwen and the military doctor, but he was too weak, his eyes couldn't focus properly, and everything he saw was blurry.
"Sir, what do you think?" Liu Qiwen swallowed more.
"I'm fine, help me up." Lu Ming struggled to get up.
"Sir, you must rest in bed and rest for a week before you get up." The military doctor held his shoulders and said.
"Master Lu, this is the end of the matter. I'm not going to grab a day or two. Just relax and have a rest." Huang Yanning also said with a smile.
"Did I faint just now? How long?" Lu Ming asked.
"It doesn't take long, but it's just too scary. Sir, you can't be so desperate in the future." Liu Qiwen cried and said.
"Sir, you are suffering from exhaustion, overexertion of your brain, and too much mental exertion. You need to recuperate for a few days without thinking," the military doctor said.
"That means I will be a fool for a few days." Lu Ming said weakly.
"It would be great if you can do it. You can't become a fool just because you want to." The military doctor laughed.
After lying down with his eyes closed for more than ten minutes, Lu Ming was able to sit up on his own and could see people clearly.
He waved his hand and said, "Everyone, go ahead and do whatever you need to do. I'm fine."
There were only three military doctors, Huang Yanning and Liu Qiwen in the room, but the door and the corridor were crowded with people. When they heard that the director suddenly fainted and didn't know what the disease was, they all hurried over to learn about the situation.
Huang Yanning came out and told everyone that everything was fine. He just used his brain too much these past few days and didn't eat properly. He suddenly fainted and has now fully recovered.
Lu Ming himself understood that he was overusing his brain and consuming too much nutrients. In fact, the biggest blow came from that telegram.
Du Juan has been taken by the Japanese on a cruise ship to the Japanese mainland. The implication is that he has completely lost the chance to rescue Du Juan in the country.
Lu Ming could not bear such a heavy blow. This news was almost equivalent to announcing that Du Juan would be missing for a long time, without any news, and his life or death was uncertain.
But it is better than the bad news of death. Dujuan is still alive, which shows that the Japanese still want to use her to make some articles, and she still has value.
In this way, there is still hope of rescuing her, although this hope is slim and uncertain and the sea is vast.
Lu Ming thought that Mr. Dong's news said that the Japanese brought Du Juan to buy clothes for her in Dalian, probably in preparation for going to Japan. Of course Du Juan only had one piece of clothes when he was captured, and the Japanese could not stop along the way.
Buy her clothes. I will have time to do these things when I get settled in Dalian.
