The visitor was a middle-aged woman wearing a sea-blue cotton robe and a thick plush shawl, her hair combed meticulously, and she looked like she had been traveling all the way. As soon as she entered the door, she gave a big courtesy to Ming Jing.
said.
"Aunt Gui!? Why are you back?" The first person to react was Ming Jing. When he saw the visitor, he said with surprise and joy.
Although there was no surprise on Minglou's face, he could not help but be stunned for a moment, and then stood silently aside with some doubts.
Mingtai, like Li Qiang who brought Aunt Gui in, just observed everyone's reactions without making any statement.
At this time, the Jinghu in Acheng's hand had fallen to the carpet, making a muffled sound, just like his mood at the moment, he was so angry that he could hardly breathe.
Looking at Aunt Gui again, she seemed like a child who had done something wrong. She almost said in a pleading tone: "A Cheng, I know you hate me, but..."
However, before she could finish her words, Ming Jing was worried that Aunt Gui's words would hurt Ah Cheng's heart again, so she simply took over the words and advised her earnestly: "A Cheng, time has passed, you... you have forgiven Gui.
Aunt!"
Who would have thought that Acheng not only didn't express his opinion after hearing this, but turned around and left, directly ignoring Ming Jing's words for the first time, and then there was a heavy door slamming, heavy and depressing, which seemed to express his feelings at this moment.
of anger and dissatisfaction.
…
The sound of firecrackers outside the window gradually faded away, and the bustling New Year's Eve gradually returned to tranquility.
Ah Cheng hesitantly knocked on the study door.
Seeing him come in, Minglou also put down the newspaper in his hand and looked at him for a moment.
"Brother, Ah Xiang said you were looking for me?" Ah Cheng lowered his head and said in a bad mood.
"Ah, that's it. Sit down."
Ah Cheng sat down.
"Where's Aunt Gui... I've written many letters to my eldest sister in the past few years, saying that she really couldn't survive her life in the country, so she wanted to come here to seek refuge..." Minglou said while watching Cheng's expression.
He said slowly, "I trust you."
Acheng sneered, "Take refuge in me? Who am I to her? Yes, she did adopt me, but she almost tortured me to death. Don't you know? I have been able to survive until now.
Fortunately."
"A Cheng, she did do a lot of wrong things before, but now she wants to come back and make up for it..."
"I don't want to mention this person," Ah Cheng said angrily, "and I don't want to hear anything about her. She has nothing to do with me. If I have to say that she has anything to do with me, there is only one thing, that is...she wanted to marry me twenty years ago.
Kill me! She is a cold-blooded, cruel murderer! Although she has escaped the punishment of the law, she cannot escape the crimes she committed in the past!"
"A-Cheng, don't get excited."
"Can I not be excited?" Acheng stood up excitedly, "You...you asked me and considered my feelings when you asked her to come back? Of course, you don't have to consider my feelings. I am in this family.
, just a servant!"
"Why are you talking!" Minglou shouted, "Who treats you as a servant?"
Ah Cheng's stubbornness reveals grievance.
"A-Cheng, it is true that eldest sister and I did something wrong in this matter. Don't get excited. We originally wanted to discuss it with you, but we never thought he would come back tonight? Well, I will tell eldest sister...
…Don’t worry, if you insist on letting her go, we will definitely respect your opinion.”
After hearing this, Acheng calmed down a little, lowered his eyes and stood there.
"I heard from my eldest sister that Aunt Gui seemed to have a mental problem at that time, and the doctor said so too."
However, Acheng didn't believe this rhetoric at all, "She lied a hundred times and she thought it was true, let alone the eldest sister? To be honest, I didn't feel anything at all when I saw her today. I found that I didn't hate her as much as before.
She is a stranger, and I have nothing to say to this person. If I must say something, I can only say one sentence, and I will leave without saying goodbye!"
Seeing his angry look, Minglou knew that he had made up his mind and would not recognize Aunt Gui, so he stopped trying to persuade him and let him leave.
As soon as Acheng left, Li Qiang and Haitang walked out of the study room.
As soon as he sat down, before Minglou could say anything, Li Qiang stretched out two fingers and asked Minglou: "Two questions: First, where is Aunt Gui's hometown?"
Minglou blurted out directly: "Su Bei."
"Su Bei? I think it's Northeastern, right?" Li Qiang sneered, "Didn't you notice that she already had a Northeastern accent when she spoke?"
"What does this mean? Maybe she worked for a Northeastern family in her hometown?"
Hearing this, Li Qiang nodded at first, but then changed the subject, "If she didn't come back today, maybe your reason just now would still make sense. But brother, don't forget, just tonight, the Shanghai train
The station suffered an explosion, and the entire station is still under full martial law. How did she get out of the station?"
"You mean...she was ordered to come back this time?"
"Yes, and I can be 100% sure that she has not been in northern Jiangsu these years, but in northeastern Jiangsu, because I can easily smell the smell of iron from her body!"
"Mantie?" As soon as these words came out, Minglou couldn't help but narrowed his eyes, "You mean, she is the special correspondent secretly sent by Mantie?"
"If that's the case, that would be great! But if it's not, it means that you or the entire Ming family have been put on the suspicion list by the Japanese!"
Minglou nodded solemnly, "It seems that the struggle situation in Shanghai is getting more and more complicated. Take a look at this first..."
As he spoke, Minglou took out a newly developed photo from the drawer and handed it to Li Qiang and Haitang.
"This is……"
"I found an unfinished action report in Wang Manchun's office. I thought it had something to do with the prisoner she tortured with a gun for fun in the West Garden shed, so I asked Acheng to secretly take photos and bring them with me.
Come back."
"The arrested members of the God of Wealth team?" Li Qiang said inexplicably after reading the report at a glance, and then glanced at Haitang subconsciously.
The latter was even more confused, shook his head and said: "Our team members are all fine, and we have not received any news about anyone missing contact!"
"I know!" Li Qiang suddenly had an idea in his mind, "If my guess is correct, this is most likely a trap set by Wang Manchun specifically to test his elder brother!"
