Chapter 372 A new beginning (please recommend and vote monthly)
"Why did Director Li become murderous so quickly?" Wang Tianfeng said calmly, as if he was talking about someone else.
Li Shiqun laughed and said, "Don't worry, I'm not as narrow-minded as your boss Dai. As long as you sincerely come to join me, I welcome them. Of course, the premise is that you are sincere."
"Then it depends on whether the job Director Li is going to give me is attractive?"
"To be honest, I am currently preparing for an agent training class. The external name is 'Juchuan Academy'. You must be very experienced in training agents, so I am going to let you go."
I wonder if Mr. Wang is willing to be the director of the academic affairs office of this training class?"
"I didn't expect Director Li to know my resume so clearly!"
"Of course, if you know yourself and your enemy, you can win every battle!"
Before he finished speaking, Wang Tianfeng stretched out a finger and said, "One condition!"
"explain!"
"As the Director of Academic Affairs, I am only responsible to you. I am not under the control of anyone else except you."
After hearing this, Li Shiqun nodded happily and said without thinking: "Okay! I agree to this condition."
…
On the terrace of Ming Mansion, Ming Jing sat there alone, staring blankly at the sunset, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Qiang thoughtfully brought a blanket over and carefully covered Ming Jing's legs, and then slowly sat down next to her.
The two of them sat in silence for more than half an hour.
In the end, Li Qiang couldn't help but take the initiative to break the awkward silence, "Sister, we didn't intentionally hide the matter from you in Mingtai. If we didn't do this..."
However, before he finished speaking, Ming Jing said quietly, "How dare he hit me!"
Hearing this, Li Qiang paused and organized his words a little before continuing: "Sister, brother, he has no choice but to do so. Don't worry, we have already made arrangements for Mingtai!"
He didn't want to be in the mirror but he still repeated the words he just said, "He actually dared to hit me!"
"In addition, the Japanese have installed bugs in the room and are monitoring us around the clock. Only here and the small ancestral hall in the whole house are not within the scope of their monitoring. Even my eldest brother's study is now a dangerous area."
However, Ming Jing still said the same thing, "How dare he hit me!"
"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing. Big brother said..." At this point, Li Qiang paused for a moment, secretly glanced at the mirror, and then continued, "Big brother said that he will go home with Wang Manchun in a few days.
…”
As soon as these words came out, Ming Jing immediately turned his head away, but when he opened his mouth, he still said the same thing, "How dare he hit me!!"
It's just that the tone of this sentence is very different from before, almost every word is full of endless anger.
Li Qiang swallowed subconsciously and continued bravely: "Sister, I know you are wronged, but everything we are doing now is to fight the war, so we can only feel wronged to you and Mingtai. If it weren't for me
I really can't bear to see your grief-stricken look, and I won't tell you the truth. So even at home, you must think that Mingtai is dead, so that our plan can continue.
?"
"But, he dared to hit me?!"
When she said this, Ming Jing's eyes were already filled with tears, but Li Qiang knew that these were not tears of grievance, but distress, and the object of distress was not herself, but Ming Lou! The one who had to take action for the mission
The younger brother who slapped the eldest sister he respected the most since childhood.
Such a sibling relationship reminded Li Qiang of his parents whom he had not seen for a long time, and his eye circles turned red unconsciously...
At the same time, in a very inconspicuous pavilion on Jufu Road in the French Concession, Mingtai finally slowly opened his eyes, with crystal clear tears hanging on his long eyelashes, which made him a little confused. These tears
Where did it come from?
Just as I was thinking about it, a strong medicinal aroma came. A beautiful figure walked in from outside.
Mingtai squinted his eyes quickly and finally saw the person clearly. It was Cheng Jinyun!
Then surprise and disbelief clearly appeared on his face.
"Jinyun?" Mingtai called tentatively.
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Jinyun was stunned, and then he couldn't help crying with joy, and even his voice was obviously choked, "Mingtai! You are finally awake! It's great! It's great!"
Mingtai quickly comforted him: "Okay, okay! Jinyun, just finished crying and crying again, be careful to make your eyes swollen from crying again!"
"I'm not crying!" Cheng Jinyun said harshly while wiping the corners of his eyes.
Seeing that Mingtai was angry and funny, after laughing, he said with emotion: "I didn't expect that I could still come out of the Japanese alive. Thank you, Jinyun! Thank you for saving me."
However, Cheng Jinyun shook his head after hearing this, "No, it's not me, it's Dr. Yang. He performed the surgery on you immediately and helped you remove the empty bag from your body. I just... just started.
!”
"So, this is another successful national red cooperation?"
"What kind of cooperation with the national red industry? What you said is too exaggerated, right?"
"Is it an exaggeration? I don't think so at all." Having said this, Mingtai couldn't help but sigh and whispered, "It would be great if it could always be like this!"
"Huh? What did you say?"
"No...it's nothing! Speaking of which, is there anything to eat? I'm almost starving to death!"
Only then did Cheng Jinyun react, "I'll help you make some porridge. You drink the medicine first."
"Can you not drink it? I am most afraid of hardship..." Mingtai said almost coquettishly.
However, Cheng Jinyun deliberately kept a straight face and threatened: "Then do you still want to eat? If you want to eat, just drink the medicine!"
"Then...can you buy me some more fried dumplings?"
"You drink first and then talk!"
Mingtai had no choice but to pinch his nose and swallow the bowl of extremely bitter medicine.
Cheng Jinyun then left with peace of mind.
And just after she left, the figure hiding on the balcony outside the house finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time gave up the idea of peeking through the crack in the door before leaving, and climbed up to the roof like a civet cat, with several ups and downs.
Then disappeared into the vast night...
Just like this, some time passed, and Mingtai was kept in this small pavilion by Uncle Li on the pretext of recuperating from his injuries.
Although Cheng Jinyun would come to visit him from time to time, for the restless Mingtai, this period of being unable to go out was like going to jail.
But even so, he never complained, because he knew that Uncle Li did this to protect himself. More importantly, after experiencing life and death, Mingtai suddenly understood many things and his mind became mature.
A lot.
So when he was extremely bored, Mingtai began to learn to do housework.
On this day, Mingtai was drying the clothes he had just washed, so he opened the closet in Uncle Li's room to find a clothes hanger, but accidentally found a rattle toy played by a child.
Looking at the familiar toy in front of him, Mingtai was immediately stunned, and even felt a faint sense of fear.
Mingtai didn't quite understand where the tangled emotions in his heart came from, so he just closed the cabinet immediately.
In a daze, my father's face that seemed to have never been clearly visible in my memory miraculously became gradually clearer, and finally turned into Uncle Li!
Could it be that Uncle Li is really...
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Mingtai shook his head fiercely, as if to get the thought out of his mind.
But even so, his hands still uncontrollably took apart an old photo frame tied with red velvet that was pressed at the bottom of the box. When he turned the photo frame over and took a look, he was instantly stunned.
I saw an old yellowed photo placed in the old-fashioned photo frame, and it turned out to be a family photo!
From childhood to adulthood, Mingtai always missed his mother by looking at the sketch in the living room of Ming Mansion. His mother's loving face could almost appear when he closed his eyes.
Now, in the photo, the sketches of Uncle Li’s wife and his mother have merged into one!
Mingtai held the photo tightly in his heart and burst into tears unconsciously.
Suddenly, there was the sound of someone taking a key to open the door downstairs, so Mingtai didn't have time to wrap up the photo frame, so he closed the cabinet door tightly, turned around, and walked towards the stairs, with a smile on his face, covering up
own uneasiness.
"Mingtai, who do you think is coming?" Uncle Li stood at the door with a smile.
Mingtai suddenly raised his head and saw Ming Jing and Li Qiang walking in from the outside, and his body shook violently.
Although Ming Jing only wore a very simple cheongsam, he was still stunningly beautiful. The moment he walked into the room, Ming Tai was like a lost child who finally saw his relatives. He ran to Ming Jing desperately and said, "Poof!"
He fell to his knees with a sound.
"Sister, my unfilial piety has frightened my eldest sister. You can hit me or scold me!"
But before he finished speaking, Ming Jing took him into his arms and hugged him tightly, as if he was a lost treasure. He burst into tears and cried until his heart broke.
Mingtai knelt in front of Mingjing. Seeing that she was so sad and unable to control herself, she felt even more sorry for her sister.
I wanted to comfort her, but I didn't know how to speak. I could only reach out and hug her tightly, using my own arms to give her some comfort.
"You kid, you are going to piss me off to death!"
Upon seeing this, Li Qiang and Uncle Li looked at each other, and then withdrew in a tacit understanding, creating a rare period of alone time for the two siblings.
After a long while, Ming Jing wiped away her tears, gently touched Ming Tai's bandaged chest with her hand, and asked distressedly: "Does it still hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." Mingtai endured the pain and said with a smile, "I'm fine now."
"Get up, get up and sit down."
After saying that, he took Mingtai and sat down side by side. After hesitating for a long time, he couldn't help but say: "Uncle Li said that he will send you away after a while. But I...can't bear to leave. If you really leave with Uncle Li, what will happen to you in the future?"
It will be difficult for us siblings to meet again."
"Sister, please don't do this. Uncle Li wants to send me away because of the safety of you and my eldest brother."
"Of course I know this, but..." Ming Jing couldn't help but choke up after saying this, "But I raised you so big and never thought about asking you to carry a gun and fight. I always thought about protecting you.
, you will not be affected by the flames of war, let you study hard and be a scholar, or if not, you can be a dutiful businessman."
Speaking of this, Ming Jing's face was filled with beautiful longing, "But who would have thought that by some combination of circumstances, you actually..."
"Sister, when the Anti-Japanese War is won, I will definitely come back and be filial to my sister. Don't worry, I will live a good and healthy life. In the future, I will get married and expand the branches of the Ming family. I will have many children to accompany you.
you……"
"Don't be ashamed!" Ming Jing poked his head, "You are so stupid and stubborn, why does Jin Yun refuse to marry you?"
"If she refuses, it will be her loss. I don't know how popular your brother is with girls!"
Just as he was talking, Li Qiang walked in with a black box, "Why, you started to talk nonsense again as soon as you recovered from the injury?"
Mingtai glanced at the box in Li Qiang's hand and asked casually: "What's in your box?"
Li Qiang blurted out without thinking: "They are all your 'relics'."
As soon as these words came out, Ming Jing immediately glared at him, and Li Qiang quickly changed his words: "You said it wrong, it's all your treasure!"
As he spoke, he handed the box to Mingtai.
However, Mingtai did not open it immediately after taking the box. Instead, he glanced at Ming Jing and asked cautiously: "Brother, how are you doing recently?"
As expected, when Ming Lou was mentioned, Ming Jing couldn't help but sigh, "What's so good about him?"
Li Qiang said quickly: "Brother actually misses you a lot, but it's just not convenient for him to come and see you. He asked me to tell you to take good care of your injuries. There are more things to do later."
After hearing this, Mingtai nodded first, then raised his head and said to Li Qiang: "Brother A Qiang, come with me. I have something to tell you alone."
As soon as he said this, Li Qiang looked at Ming Jing as if asking for instructions, and then followed Ming Tai to his room until she nodded.
"Brother Aqiang, can you tell me who betrayed us? Is it Guo Qiyun, Yu Manli, Wang Tianfeng, or..." At this point, Mingtai paused and adjusted his emotions a little.
He continued, "Still my eldest brother?"
"You really want to know?" After a short silence, Li Qiang finally asked.
"certainly!"
"It's you! It was you who betrayed your team members in order to survive, but in the end you were cleared by the 'madman' with the help of the Japanese!"
"What...what did you say?" After hearing this, Mingtai suddenly felt that his brain was a little exhausted, and said with wide eyes in disbelief.
However, Li Qiang didn't care whether he heard it or not, and continued in a superior tone: "Listen, from now on, 'Xiang Case' is your new code name, and your first mission is,
Just break into the Red Party! Do you understand?"
