"The Scorpion Group is allowed to take advantage of the next ferry opportunity to help transfer the underground party's proposal. I also order your group to set up an ambush on Wutong Road at two o'clock in the afternoon on Tuesday to attack the car of Minglou, an important member of the Wang Puppet Government!"
Although Mingtai had expected such a day since he left the military academy and returned to Shanghai, he never expected that this day would come so early and so suddenly.
After an unknown amount of time, Mingtai tremblingly took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it and took a long puff. Then he tried to calm his already chaotic mind, looked at Yu Manli steadily and said affectionately:
"Thank you, Manli. Thank you for thinking so much about me, even willing to hide your name and wander around the world for me. But I'm sorry, I can't escape from here with you."
As soon as these words came out, Yu Manli's beautiful eyes dimmed suddenly, and she said quietly: "Then are you going to kill your eldest brother, or are you going to disobey the military order? If...if you care about me...then...
Let’s go with the Red Party! Go to Yan’an…”
"Can you calm down, Manli! My heart is already in a mess."
However, before she finished speaking, Yu Manli took Mingtai's hand and placed it forcefully on her chest, "Mingtai, I know you can feel my heartbeat, just like I can feel yours.
I also know that you are depressed and sad now. I also know that once you kill your elder brother, you will spend the rest of your life in endless pain and regret! Even if your elder brother is a traitor and he deserves to die, it cannot be done by you yourself.
Take action! I don’t care about family laws or military orders, I just want you to live happily, so if you insist on carrying out the order from the top, then let me fire this shot..."
"We are partners in life and death. Is there any difference if you fire this shot or I fire?" Speaking of this, Mingtai took a deep breath, "I can't leave, I am a soldier! I will never run away! No matter what the reason
, I must...must obey orders, do you still remember the final test that the teacher set for us before we graduated?"
"Lifetime."
"So we can't be deserters! Because even if we escape, another group will come to perform this task, so running away won't solve any problems."
"Then... can you shoot?" This sentence is both direct and unavoidable, "Can you?"
Mingtai sighed heavily, "I don't know, but I will think of a way, a way that can solve all problems."
"any solution?"
"I want to see the 'Poisonous Snake'!" Mingtai said firmly.
Even though the previous requests to meet him were all rejected, this time, he has made up his mind to meet him no matter how many times he is rejected. Because some things can only be asked clearly in person!
At the same time, the Ming family study room.
"You're back?" As soon as he saw Acheng walking in, Minglou put down the documents in his hands and said to him.
Ah Cheng nodded with a heavy heart.
"Has the assassination mission been handed over?" Minglou asked again.
Acheng nodded again, but then said with some worry: "Brother, are we doing this... a little too cruel to Mingtai?"
"You're right, it is indeed a bit cruel, but in order for you to gain Nanzao Yunzi's trust to the greatest extent, you can only be more cruel. This mission is not only a great test for you, but also for Mingtai. If
If he can pass this test, we will no longer have to conceal his identity."
"Are you referring to venomous snakes? Or..."
"Of course it's a poisonous snake." Minglou blurted out without thinking.
"in addition……"
"What else?"
"'Venomous Scorpion' sent a secret message, requesting to see 'Venomous Snake' before taking action."
Minglou once again turned his gaze back to the document in his hand and said slowly: "No!"
…
"Still missing?" Mingtai, who returned to East China Photo Studio again, after receiving the reply from Viper, finally couldn't help but stare and said, "Why didn't he see me? From the time he came out of the military academy to now, every mission he assigned, I have
It’s done. Why doesn’t he trust me so much when he can’t even see me? Will I betray him? What a bastard! If he doesn’t trust me, why does he ask me to carry out such an order?”
Although Guo Qiyun and Yu Manli understood his mood at this time, they both understood that no one could help him at this time.
"I will generate electricity for him myself. You two follow me!" He said and started to walk upstairs.
Guo Qiyun quickly stopped him and advised: "Team leader, please calm down."
Mingtai shouted regardless, "Let me go, I want to call you again!"
"Team leader, it doesn't matter how many times you call, he won't see you. On the contrary, it is very likely that the location of our radio station will be exposed, and then it will not be a poisonous snake, but the agent of No. 76!"
"You!" Although Mingtai was still angry at this moment, the only bit of reason he had told him that Guo Qiyun was right, but in his mind, a sudden flash of inspiration seized Guo Qiyun just now.
There was a loophole in Qiyun's words, and he then narrowed his eyes and asked word for word, "How can you be so sure? Have you seen him?"
The sudden questioning made Guo Qiyun a little overwhelmed, and it was such a subconscious reaction that made Mingtai more convinced of his judgment, "Looking at your reaction, have I seen him before?"
Guo Qiyun immediately changed his words and added: "Team leader, you have been back to Shanghai for so long, 'Venomous Snake' has almost never contacted us, let alone asked to see you. Think about it, 'Venomous Bee'
After working hard in Shanghai for two years, he finally had to evacuate Shanghai. It has only been a long time since 'Viper' took over. To run a strategic intelligence station, he still has to be cautious and careful at every step..." As he spoke, he deliberately emphasized his tone again, "
Therefore, I have to remind you that this is behind enemy lines!"
The words "behind enemy lines" made Mingtai sober up, but he still said bitterly: "When I saw him, I just wanted to ask him one thing, why me? Doesn't he know that Minglou is my eldest brother? Why did he have to choose
Me? Why didn't you give me a little more time? He refused to see me. How could he know that as long as he gave me a little more time, I would be able to make my elder brother take off his skin. Why did he have to force me to kill my elder brother?
Isn’t he afraid of my disobedience at all?”
This was the first time Guo Qiyun saw Mingtai on the verge of collapse, and he felt sympathy unconsciously. But even so, he still asked seriously, "Will you disobey me?"
Before he finished speaking, Mingtai suddenly glared at Guo Qiyun, which made him panic for a moment.
"You are right, this is behind enemy lines, but for us pretenders, it is the front line!" Mingtai said almost word by word, "And I, as the front line commander, no matter what kind of situation I receive,
I will not desert the mission, this is the promise I made to my teacher before I left the military school!"
As soon as these words came out, not only Yu Manli, but also Guo Qiyun couldn't help but respect Mingtai.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly sounded, making all three people present nervous...
