"Oh, by the way! I almost forgot to give this to you." Mingtai said as he took out the brocade box and handed it to Cheng Jinyun.
When Cheng Jinyun saw the bracelet in the brocade box, he couldn't help but be stunned. He blushed and asked, "What... do you mean this?"
"This is a gift my eldest sister bought for you. I wish us a happy marriage."
"This...I...we are not really married, I can't have it!" He said as he returned the bracelet to Mingtai.
He didn't want to answer the question but didn't pick it up, "Take it! Although our marriage is fake, my eldest sister's intention is true. If you don't accept it, she will be sad."
"What about you?" Cheng Jinyun said in a voice like a mosquito, "Can you do the same?"
"What can you do?"
"It's nothing!" Cheng Jinyun quickly shook his head, "Since you said so, I will accept it. However, it is for the sake of my eldest sister! Don't think wrongly!"
After saying that, Cheng Jinyun carefully put away the bracelet, then ran away from Mingtai with his head lowered.
Yu Manli stood in the distance, looking at Mingtai and Cheng Jinyun sitting and chatting in the distance, feeling very uncomfortable.
For a moment, she almost rushed over and snatched her lover from Cheng Jinyun's hands without any scruples. However, her legs felt like they were filled with lead. No matter how hard she tried, she could not move at all.
An unknown amount of time passed like this. When Yu Manli suddenly came to her senses, there was no one on the top of the mountain.
After sighing heavily, Yu Manli dragged her heavy footsteps and walked towards the cave with her head lowered and a complicated mood.
However, he didn't go very far when he bumped into someone's chest solidly, causing the other person to say "ouch" and take several steps back.
As soon as she heard that voice, Yu Manli's body trembled suddenly, and a look of concern immediately appeared in her eyes unconsciously. However, she quickly tried her best to cover it up, snorted, and said angrily.
Said: "You deserve it! A good dog doesn't block the way!"
"Hey! Have you ever talked to a commander like this?" Mingtai said while rubbing his sore chest, "Thankfully, I prepared a gift for you. It's really..."
"What...what a gift, I don't care about it! I'd better give it to your sister Jinyun!" Although Yu Manli was very happy in her heart, she still said stubbornly.
"Is that so? Okay then..." Mingtai then deliberately raised his voice and shouted, "Jinyun sister..."
However, before Mingtai could finish his words, Yu Manli snatched the brocade box from his hand.
"Hey, let me tell you, don't you care about it?"
Yu Manli said willfully: "Then you are not allowed to give it to others! Humph!"
After saying that, he skipped away like a cheerful little rabbit. Mingtai just smiled and shook his head, and then quickly followed him towards the direction of the cave...
In contrast, the situation in the labor camp was gloomy and gloomy.
The fire burned all night, almost burning the entire camp to ashes, leaving only an empty frame.
It was only then that the lieutenant on the mountain who was supposed to be in charge of putting out the fire finally came back with a group of defeated soldiers.
"Where have you been? Lieutenant on the mountain, such a big thing happened in the camp, but you can't even find a person. How do you think I should write this report?" Wang Manchun sat on the only table in the camp with his arms folded.
Behind the intact desk, he said to the mountain in a domineering manner.
However, as soon as these words came out, translator Wang on the side rushed to explain: "Director Wang, to be honest, we received the news that the Red Party was preparing to organize a rescue of prisoners of war in the labor camp.
I took the initiative that night and took the initiative to destroy the Red Party's den. However, when I came back, there happened to be a flash flood, and the rocks washed down by the flash flood blocked the way, which delayed a lot of time, so...
"
"Rescue prisoners of war?" Wang Manchun couldn't help but raise his eyebrows after hearing this, "What's the result? Did you destroy the Red Party den?"
"Of course!" Wang Translator said without thinking, "Six or seven Red Party members were killed on the spot, thanks to the mountain lieutenant Zhiyong..."
"You bastards!" Before translator Wang could finish speaking, Wang Manchun slammed the table and shouted angrily, "Who asked you to kill everyone? Why didn't you bring them back for interrogation? Are you trying to kill Hong Hong?
The party is still killing people and silencing them?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone present was stunned, because what Wang Manchun just said was actually said in Japanese!
Now the lieutenant on the mountain knew that he could no longer pretend to be stupid and let the translator Wang act as a mouthpiece. He quickly said: "Kill...knock it off? Director Wang, where do you start with this?"
"Where to start?" Wang Manchun snorted coldly at this point, "Let's start with these workers who are not on the roster!"
As he said this, Wang Manchun clapped his hands and said, "Bring me here!"
Before he finished speaking, Li Qiang responded and then brought a team of workers in front of everyone.
"This... this..." The lieutenant on the mountain saw that the matter could not be concealed, so he sighed heavily, leaned in front of Wang Manchun and lowered his voice and said, "Director Wang, can you take a step to speak?"
Wang Manchun glanced at him, then got up and followed him to a deserted open space, holding his hands and waiting for his explanation.
"Director Wang, to be honest, we do regularly ship laborers from the camp and sell them to other places. This is an open secret from above. Of course, I know you are also following orders, but you might as well think about it.
, if you mess up your errand, you will at most be reprimanded when you go back; but if you offend the top military officials, then..."
Although the words were not explained on the mountain, the intention behind the words was already obvious.
Wang Manchun raised the corner of his mouth slightly after hearing this, and said to him with a faint smile: "Is Lieutenant Shan threatening me?"
"No! No, no, no! I don't have that much courage. I'm just thinking about Director Wang's future, that's all."
"Well, this sounds like a human saying." Wang Manchun looked at him deeply, nodded and said, "But I want to make a phone call first, is that okay?"
"No problem! Of course there is no problem!" As he said that, the man on the mountain shouted at the top of his lungs, "Who is that? Xiao Wang! Translator Wang! Hurry up and find someone to connect the phone line to me, now! Now! Now!"
Not to mention that Translator Wang was very efficient. It only took less than half an hour to get the phone line connected.
Wang Manchun did not shy away from it. He called Minglou's office in front of the mountain and gave a detailed report to Minglou about what happened here.
"...Sir Ming, I'm done. I suggest that Liang Zhongchun and related personnel be held accountable!"
As soon as these words came out, Shan Shan on the side was about to say something, but was stopped by Wang Manchun's look.
At the same time, Minglou's voice came from the phone receiver, "Manchun, if this matter is really what you said, I don't think there is any need to investigate further, right?"
"Why is it unnecessary?" Wang Manchun argued, "Not only were these guys involved in buying and selling labor, but they also directly bypassed the new government without formal permission. Of course they should be held accountable!"
"Then have you ever thought about it? Since there is no formal permission for this matter, is it true that the gang can operate for so long without being investigated because the higher-ups don't know about it? Manchun, I think so. Since this matter
If it has not been brought to light, there must be a reason for it. The lieutenant on the mountain is right, why do you have to step forward and pierce this layer of window paper? I am not afraid of investigation, I am afraid that if they investigate, then
Someone will come forward to deal with you, the whistleblower who exposed the truth. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Wang Manchun also became a little anxious, "Sir Ming, I...I did not take the opportunity to attack dissidents..."
"I understand that you are motivated by public motives. I have no doubt about this. But now, we are all under the control of the Japanese. What do we need most internally? Unity! Finding a Liang Zhongchun now will only weaken the
Taking the number 76 would be of no benefit to anyone except..."
Although Minglou didn't say it clearly, Wang Manchun knew very well that he was talking about the Japanese, so he glanced at the mountain aside intentionally or unintentionally, and continued: "Sir Ming, I'm afraid that as his hands get deeper and longer, he will become more courageous.
The bigger he gets, the more lawless he becomes. Once he gets carried away, we will all be tired of him!"
"I know that working with such a person makes you worried and aggrieved. Don't worry, when it's time to make him disappear, I will naturally make him disappear."
"Then...Okay! I understand." Wang Manchun said reluctantly, then hung up the phone, and then said to the mountain in a deep voice as if he was a different person, "Did you hear everything just now?"
"I heard it, I heard it..." Shanshan nodded quickly and said, but when he took a peek, he saw that Wang Manchun's expression was wrong and getting uglier, so he quickly changed his words and said, "I didn't hear it, I didn't hear anything."
!”
Wang Manchun nodded with satisfaction, "Well, that's pretty much it."
As he spoke, he lowered his voice and whispered to him...
Although the camp was burned to ruins by a fire, it seemed as if nothing happened on the mountain. When the time came, people were ordered to take the workers in the camp and set off for the mine on time.
Just before the large army left, Wang Manchun called Jiang Zheng to his side, handed her a flare gun newly equipped by the Japanese army, and said: "Deputy Section Chief Jiang, you will quietly follow the large army in a moment. I have a hunch.
, the Red Party will not stop here, so please be careful. Once you find the target, immediately wait for an opportunity to kill it! If nothing can be done, use it to shoot into the sky. Lieutenant Shan and I will lead people there immediately.
Support must not be exposed easily, do you understand?"
"Understood!" Jiang Zheng said, taking the signal gun and leaving the camp behind the large army.
However, as soon as Jiang Zheng left, a middle-aged man wearing a national army uniform was brought to Wang Manchun from the mountain.
"Are you Jin Zhijian?" Wang Manchun asked coldly after carefully looking at the guy in front of him who was still full of energy even though he was behind bars.
"Yes, I am Jin Zhijian." Jin Zhijian replied with a smile, but a glimmer of light flashed in his small eyes, and he looked at Wang Manchun with the same scrutiny, "I wonder what your name is, sir?"
"Wang Manchun, Director of Intelligence Division No. 76."
"It turns out to be Director Wang, disrespectful, disrespectful..."
"I really didn't expect that the dignified fifth brother of the military commander turned out to be Mr. Zhou's undercover agent. Now Dai Li's face is really shameless in front of Lao Jiang!"
"Director Wang, you are joking. Jin is not the fifth brother of the military. He is just a prisoner in jail. Please rescue him, Director Wang."
"Mr. Jin, you're welcome. I'm here this time to take you back on the order of Mr. Zhou."
"Really? That's great!" Jin Zhijian said with a smile, "But before we leave, can you let me have a call with Mr. Zhou?"
As soon as these words came out, Li Qiang on the side couldn't help but thought to himself: This Jin Zhiguo is indeed as cunning and cunning as the rumors say. In this way, he won't be afraid that Wang Manchun will have some evil intentions on the way.
Wang Manchun also saw the trick, "Of course! But this call must be made in front of me, is that okay?"
"No problem at all!"
So Jin Zhijian called Zhou Fohai in front of Wang Manchun.
"Hello? Mr. Zhou, it's me, Lao Jin... Well, yes, Director Wang Manchun of No. 76 personally came to pick me up... Okay, I understand. I will be on my way as soon as the matter here comes to an end...
…”
Just when Jin Zhijian was on the phone, Li Qiang walked up to the translator Wang and asked in a low voice: "Why, do you have a grudge against that person named Jin?"
As soon as these words came out, Translator Wang immediately denied it and said: "No...no! I'm not familiar with him, so what grudge can I have against him?"
"Really? But the way you looked at him just now was not quite right!"
"Yes...is there? No?" Even though the translator Wang refused to admit it, the more he did, the more Li Qiang became sure of his judgment.
However, although he did not reveal it on the spot, Li Qiang couldn't help but remind him, "There is no best. Don't blame me for not reminding you. The man named Jin is a famous spy catcher in the military, let alone a little translator like you."
, even if it is an ordinary agent, it is easy for him to deal with three or five at the same time, so don’t make yourself miserable!"
"Oh, Section Chief Ming, look at what you said, how could I have the courage to provoke such a ruthless person? Isn't that like an old man hanging himself because he thinks his life is too long?"
But even though he said this, translator Wang never took his eyes off Jin Zhijian.
Li Qiang couldn't help but sigh when he saw this, "It's good that you know, I will say this, you can do it yourself!"
After saying that, Li Qiang turned and left. At this time, Jin Zhijian just hung up the phone, but then Wang Manchun's voice rang, "Mr. Jin, can you please explain what you just said to Mr. Zhou?"
