"Good evening, sisters." Sheng Di walked in with a smile.
Lu Ming was surprised but also a little amused. Why is Sheng Di here too? What kind of rhythm is this today? Something is going to happen.
"Brother Sheng Shi is here too, please take a seat." Yan Xiaohui was very happy. Sheng Di's arrival added another outsider from the Ning family, making her no longer so lonely.
Lu Ming quickly asked Sheng Di to sit down, and then said with a smile: "Why is it such a coincidence that they all touch each other?"
"What a coincidence? He came after Mingzhu, Sheng Di, I tell you, don't have Mingzhu's idea, otherwise don't blame us for not giving face to the Sheng family." Ning Xiner said coldly.
"Ah, there is such a thing, what do you mean?" Lu Ming was shocked.
"No, brother, don't get me wrong. I just asked Mingzhu about her sister. I'm not worried about Ziyuan. Miss Ning just misunderstood." Sheng Di said with a bitter smile.
"Huh, you and your sister can't get along, so you're just thinking about attacking her. Sheng Di, don't think I can't see it." Ning Xiner said harshly.
Mingzhu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister, stop talking. Even if you lend him some courage, he won't dare to think about it wrongly."
"That's right. I was wronged. If I think so, am I still a human being? Besides, my brothers will beat me to death." Sheng Di looked like he was about to cry.
Yan Xiaohui was happy when she heard this. The relationship was a little chaotic, but the more chaotic the better, she could win in the chaos.
Lu Ming knew that Ning Xiner had misunderstood. The person Sheng Di was most afraid of in his life was Yuan Mingzhu. In the past, he was even teased by this would-be sister-in-law so that he did not dare to meet her. Now he took the initiative to ask Yuan Mingzhu about Ziyuan's whereabouts. It seemed that he was really anxious.
Lu Ming quickly asked Sheng Di to sit down and then poured him wine.
He was wondering what excuse he could use to find Sheng Di, but he didn't expect him to come to his door.
If Sheng Di could explain clearly why he argued with Ben Zhuang Shi, he might be able to deduce the reasons for the disappearance of Sheng Muyi and Ziyuan.
Lu Ming knew that this was wishful thinking, and there was no way Sheng Di could tell him the truth, even if it would help find Ziyuan.
Sheng Di does have deep feelings for Ziyuan, but this does not mean that Ziyuan's disappearance has nothing to do with him.
If Sheng Di had a private relationship with the Japanese, it just proves that Ziyuan disappeared to avoid him. By inference, it is logical that Ziyuan proposed to terminate the engagement before she disappeared.
Sheng Di couldn't find Ziyuan and was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. He rushed to seek medical treatment and chased Mingzhu. The problem was that Mingzhu didn't know the whereabouts of Ziyuan. Her sister's whereabouts were unknown. She was also very anxious and kept trying to find her.
Follow Lu Ming to search elsewhere.
So today, Yuan Mingzhu was looking for Lu Ming, and Sheng Di was looking for Yuan Mingzhu, and they finally got together at a hot pot restaurant.
"By the way, has Mr. Shigeru left Shanghai?" Lu Ming asked Sheng Di.
"I don't know, I just met him once at the banquet that day, and we haven't contacted him since." Sheng Di thought for a moment and said.
"I heard that you guys had a quarrel that day. Why?" Lu Ming asked with a smile.
"How do you know..." Sheng Di's face suddenly changed and he stared at Yan Xiaohui without saying anything.
Sheng Di obviously misunderstood. It was not Yan Xiaohui who told Lu Ming about this, but Hidekichi Kenda of the Japanese Consulate.
"Actually, there was nothing to argue about. Mr. Shigeru Honjo blamed our Sheng family for not wanting to do business with them, so I explained a few words. I said that various Japanese clubs had taken away our business, and he was not happy. He said in Japanese
He cursed." Sheng Di explained.
Lu Ming smiled lightly and said nothing. He felt that Sheng Di didn't tell the truth. Even if it was the truth, he just cut it off and didn't answer his question directly, but he couldn't continue asking.
The arrival of Sheng Di eased the tense and conflicting atmosphere. Ning Xin'er still kept away from strangers and only focused on drinking and eating by herself.
Mingzhu only had Lu Ming in her eyes and ignored Sheng Di at all. Sheng Di had no choice but to chat with Yan Xiaohui.
After eating, a few people walked out. It was still raining outside and the weather was freezing.
Yan Xiaohui glanced at Lu Ming, said nothing, and drove away first.
Yuan Mingzhu poked Lu Ming with her elbow: "They have gone far away, don't look at me."
Lu Ming said, "I wasn't looking at her, I was looking at the snowflakes floating in the distance."
"Where are the snowflakes in the distance? Who are you kidding?" Yuan Mingzhu curled her lips and said.
"Really, look at it..." Yuan Mingzhu followed the direction of his finger and actually saw snowflakes floating towards them in the drizzle.
Lu Ming suddenly walked quickly towards a nearby shop, and then saw a figure flashing away in the distance.
"What's wrong? You seem a little nervous?" Yuan Mingzhu felt that Lu Ming was looking wrong and hurriedly followed him.
"It's nothing. I seem to see a familiar person. Maybe I saw it wrong."
What Lu Ming saw was the slender figure of a woman, but he was still a step too slow, failed to keep up, and let her run away again. This woman was slipperier than a loach.
This woman was the assassin who assassinated him that day. He had always wanted to catch her, but unfortunately his eyes were not as quick as her movements.
What does this woman want to do? Has she changed her strategy? Assassination has turned into stalking. Is it interesting that she keeps changing like this?
He didn't think this group of people would have any scruples. To them, killing people was just like eating a meal.
If you want to assassinate, just now is a good opportunity. Although the rain curtain blocks the sight, it does not affect the shooting, and it is easy to hide after the assassination.
He looked around for a while and found no suspicious signs, so he gave up in frustration.
"Someone you know well? It can't be Du Juan, right?" Yuan Mingzhu also vaguely saw the figure of a woman.
"No, if it was Du Juan, she would come out and say hello openly, there is no need to be so sneaky."
"That's hard to say." For some reason, Yuan Mingzhu didn't care about Yan Xiaohui, but was jealous of Du Juan.
With Yan Xiaohui's family background, it is absolutely impossible for someone to be a concubine, but Du Juan is possible. In other words, Du Juan is more likely to come to Lu Ming's side than Yan Xiaohui. This is probably the main reason why Yuan Mingzhu looks at Du Juan in a different light.
Sheng Di's face was a little ugly. The figure just now reminded him of a woman, but it was the woman he least wanted to see. However, he didn't say anything and hid it well.
"Has anyone been following you these past two days?" Lu Ming suddenly turned to Sheng Di and asked.
"What? Cough, cough..." Sheng Di was unprepared and almost choked on his own saliva.
Lu Ming also suddenly thought of this. He felt that this woman might not have followed him, but she might also have been following Sheng Di.
Although the change in Sheng Di's expression just now was well concealed, he still noticed it. Thinking about the quarrel between Sheng Di and Honzhuang Shigen, he suddenly thought of this possibility.
"Why are you nervous? I mean, has anyone followed you in the past two days?"
"Of course not, why are you following me?" Sheng Di pretended to be confused.
"It's okay if you don't. The Japanese are full of tricks, so you'd better be careful." Lu Ming said.
"No, I have nothing to do with the Japanese..." Before she could finish her words, Sheng Di covered her mouth and coughed.
"It's fine if it doesn't matter -" Lu Ming prolonged his words meaningfully.
When it came to this matter, Lu Ming couldn't continue talking, and he really couldn't tell who the female assassin was following, whether it was him or Sheng Di. There were two possibilities.
Sheng Di's panic made Lu Ming feel that another crisis was coming.
