"Isn't that right, brother? Let A Qiang go? Can he do it?"
It was a good thing that Ah Cheng didn't listen. As soon as he heard that Ming Jing wanted Li Qiang to accompany him and take the Sakura special train to Nanjing, he immediately threw out several questions like a barrage of questions.
I didn't want Minglou to just shrug, "Don't ask me, I don't know if you ask me! Anyway, the eldest sister has made up her mind to let A Qiang go with her. If you really want to know, just ask her yourself.
.”
"No, no, no, no, I don't want to take my life as a joke, I want to work for two more years!"
Seeing Acheng's frightened look, Minglou couldn't help but laugh a little, and then he asked as if he suddenly remembered something: "Speaking of A Qiang, how come this kid was so mysterious yesterday? He disappeared in the blink of an eye after he came back, and as soon as he came back, he disappeared.
He didn't come back at night, do you know where he went?"
"I don't know. He must have returned to the patrol team, right?"
"I can't tell, but that guy is quite interested in the patrol team!" Having said this, Minglou paused for a moment, and then continued to ask, "By the way, have you inquired about the situation over at Mingtai?
"
"Inquiry revealed that Mingtai and his life-and-death partner, who should have left the military academy long ago, somehow retaliated and beat up an adjutant named Guo the day before leaving. The 'Venom Bee' was shut down in anger.
He detained two people and threatened that they would never be let go until they were detained for a hundred days."
"Why does this 'madman' like to go outside the plan so much and act against common sense?"
"Brother, do you want me to..."
"No need." As Cheng was about to say something, he was interrupted by Minglou raising his hand, "I know that guy's temperament very well, and I won't hold him back and will back him up. If you really send a telegram to plead for mercy,
It’s very likely to be counterproductive.”
"What should we do?"
"One word, wait! Although that guy has always behaved erratically and strangely, he also has his own principles and bottom lines. Although sometimes, his principles and bottom lines are outrageously low. But I believe that he should be rewarded for doing so.
I just hope that Mingtai can pass this last hurdle and return safely!"
Hearing this, Acheng stopped saying anything and nodded gently...
…
"Ah sneeze!"
Although in terms of coldness, winter in Shanghai is far from comparable to that in Northeast China, Li Qiang had to admit that the light wind this early in the morning still felt a bit like winter.
After sneezing hard, Li Qiang rubbed his nose, which was already slightly red from the cold, and sat down at a breakfast stall on the street.
After casually ordering some food, Li Qiang began to eat with a slurp. The hot food was eaten early, and his whole body became warm.
But just when Li Qiang was getting excited about eating, he suddenly felt that someone seemed to be looking at him, so he put down the bowl and chopsticks in his hand and looked back, and saw a half-grown man in rags using his longing expression.
His eyes were fixed on the breakfast in front of him, and he kept swallowing his saliva while looking at it.
So Li Qiang waved to the child.
Although the child was hesitant at first, in the end he could not resist the temptation of food and timidly walked up to Li Qiang.
"Want to eat?" Li Qiang pointed at the bowl of steaming wontons and asked.
The child hesitated for a moment, then nodded wildly.
"Then you have to do something for me after you finish eating, how about that?"
Before Li Qiang could finish what he said, the child grabbed the bowl of wontons in his arms. He squatted on the ground and ate them hungrily, even if they weren't too hot. It looked like he had been hungry for a long time.
Li Qiang didn't say anything, and just watched him quietly as he put a large bowl of wontons into his stomach, and then asked, "What's your name?"
"Yue'er."
Only then did Li Qiang realize that the child was actually a girl!
"Okay, Yue'er. As I said before, after you eat that bowl of wontons, you have to do something for me. Is that okay?"
Xiao Yue'er wiped a handful of wonton soup from her mouth and nodded seriously.
"Come with me!" After saying that, Li Qiang stood up and took her to Field Road. He pointed at the tailor shop not far away and said, "Have you seen that tailor shop?"
Xiao Yue'er quickly looked in the direction of Li Qiang's finger, and then nodded gently.
"You just need to keep an eye on the tailor shop for me, and at night, tell me all the people and things you saw during the day, and I will take you to eat delicious food, how about that?"
"Really?" As soon as she heard that there was something to eat, Xiaoyue'er's eyes immediately lit up, and her voice was much louder than before.
"Of course it's true! And the more things you remember, the more delicious food you will have. Do you understand?"
"Um!"
"Then...I'll leave first. See you in the evening!" After saying that, Li Qiang left without looking back.
In fact, the reason why Li Qiang wanted to find an inconspicuous beggar to monitor Pu Lanfang's tailor shop was entirely to cope with the errand assigned to him by Wang Manchun. After all, the less people knew about his relationship with her, the better.
Besides, that tailor shop is the contact point for our own people. We can't really help the enemy deal with our own people, can we?
Because of this, Li Qiang came up with this method.
The day passed quickly.
As soon as the sky darkened, Li Qiang returned to Field Road, but strangely, Xiao Yue'er, who was supposed to be staying here, had disappeared.
After searching around to no avail, Li Qiang couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It seems that I thought of this person too well!"
And just when Li Qiang was about to leave, his eyes accidentally fell on the newsstand at the corner of the street that was about to close its stall.
So he walked over with the last glimmer of hope and asked: "Brother, can I ask you something?"
"What's up?"
"Have you seen a little beggar around here today? He's about this tall." Li Qiang asked while gesturing.
Before he finished speaking, the newsstand owner immediately nodded and said, "Yes, I was wandering around here just now!"
"Then did you see which way she went?" Li Qiang quickly continued to ask, not forgetting while looking around for traces of Xiao Yue'er.
Unexpectedly, the stall owner waved his hand, "Little brother, stop looking. He is no longer here."
"Brother, why did you say this?"
"Just now, two red-headed Asans came and took her away."
Red-headed Asan? He was probably taken to the nearest arresting room!
Thinking of this, Li Qiang thanked the stall owner, then turned around and walked towards the nearest Jing'an Temple prison room...
