There was no talking all night, and the next morning before dawn, everyone in the Ming family began to get busy.
"Axiang, don't just clean up. Watch the time and go up and wake Mingtai up again in half an hour."
"I understand, Miss!"
"Aqiang, please go outside and check the car. Make sure nothing goes wrong on the road, causing the ship to be delayed!"
"Okay, sister!"
However, before Li Qiang could turn around, Ming Jing said: "Wait a minute, you'd better go to the kitchen and keep an eye on it first, and then go check the car after breakfast is ready."
"Don't worry, eldest sister! I know what's going on!"
…
"ah--!"
On the way to the customs wharf, Mingtai couldn't help but let out a big yawn while looking out the car window at the rapidly reversing street scene.
When Li Qiang, who was in charge of driving, saw this, he couldn't help but joked: "Why, didn't you sleep well?"
"I was woken up three times in one morning. It's amazing that I could sleep well!"
"Who makes you unable to wake up no matter how much you scream? But you can't blame others. If you want to blame it, it's your classmates..."
"Cough cough! Cough cough cough..."
Before Li Qiang could finish what he said, Mingtai coughed a few times, but even so, he still didn't get away with it, which immediately made Ming Jing beside him very angry.
"Okay! Let me tell you why you went upstairs to bed so early last night! Why don't you tell me honestly, what did you do with your classmates last night?"
"I...didn't do much, just...went to Paramount to dance for a while."
"you!"
"Sister, don't be angry. I think Mingtai also wanted to say goodbye to his classmates, so he ran out secretly. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you would worry."
"Hmph! Just because he didn't tell me, I'm even more worried. Do you know how chaotic the world is now? What if something happens to you outside? How do you want me to explain to your dead mother?
"
However, on the other side, Mingtai couldn't help but said angrily: "Brother Aqiang, didn't you promise to keep it a secret for me? Why did you betray me as soon as you turned around?"
"I'm helping you restore your image in front of my eldest sister!"
"Then I really thank you!" After saying this, Mingtai rolled his eyes, and then immediately turned from defense to offense, "By the way, Brother Aqiang, if you didn't tell me, I almost forgot to ask, what did you do yesterday?
Why did you go to Paramount alone at night?"
"Didn't I tell you that I was on official duty at the time?"
However, Mingtai still persisted and asked: "Really? Then tell me, what official duties are you performing?"
At this moment, Ming Jing finally couldn't help but reprimanded, "Mingtai! Why are you asking so many questions? The only thing you want to think about now is how to read well. Stop asking about adults' affairs. Listen.
Have you arrived yet?"
"Oh, I understand, eldest sister. I'm sorry, Brother Aqiang!"
"It doesn't matter! As I said, it's not a bad thing to be vigilant at all times, especially when you go out alone. It's always good to be more cautious about everything."
…
At the same time, Hong Kong was more than a thousand kilometers away.
A black Ford car was driving quickly towards the pier.
In the back seat, Minglou, who was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looked at the documents in his hand quickly with sharp eyes and a solemn expression.
It wasn't until he finished reading the last page that the expression on Minglou's face relaxed a little, and then a cold smile appeared on his face, and he praised: "I didn't expect that this Harada Kumaji really has two brushes, and he has already started investigating.
What we experienced in France.”
Having said this, Minglou paused for a moment, and then said to Cheng who was driving: "Great job!"
As soon as these words came out, Cheng tried his best to keep his voice calm, but the corners of his mouth still tilted up slightly unconsciously, "He is in the light, I am in the dark."
However, Minglou shook his head, "That's not what I'm referring to! It's your ability to deal with the aftermath. Remember, it's not difficult to kill someone. What's difficult is how to stay out of the incident and clear your own suspicions after that. Do you understand?"
"Understood, brother!"
After a moment of silence, Minglou looked at his watch and asked as if talking to himself: "Is Mingtai taking the cruise ship to Hong Kong today?"
"Yes!" After saying that, Cheng also looked at the time, "Sailing is at ten in the morning. By this time, we should be preparing to board the ship."
"Where are our sailing schedules?"
"According to your instructions, it will be scheduled at nine o'clock tomorrow morning to ensure that we will not meet him."
Minglou nodded slightly after hearing this, "Where's the HKU side?"
"Everything has been arranged. No one will know the young master's true identity."
"...I hope this little guy can be peaceful and contented after arriving at HKU, study hard, and don't make any mistakes, so as not to make the elder sister sad." At this point, Minglou took off his glasses and was very surprised.
Feeling a headache, he rubbed the bridge of his nose with his hand.
Of course, Cheng saw this scene clearly through the rearview mirror, so he quickly spoke to comfort him: "Brother, you are a smart director. You can rest assured!"
However, at this time, Minglou had already put on his newly wiped glasses again, and his whole demeanor suddenly changed. His words were full of majesty, "Listen, after returning to Shanghai, the situation will be different from now.
Let me say it up front, you cannot make decisions in private unless you are faced with a life or death choice. Otherwise, you must strictly follow the plan, do you understand?"
Ah Cheng immediately nodded in agreement, and Minglou continued: "The most important point is that we have to show our differences in public, so that people feel that there is not an iron wall between you and me, but we can't go too far.
Be careful, Japanese people are not fools, they must be cautious in everything they say and do!"
"Yes!" Having said this, Acheng paused for a moment before continuing to ask, "Brother, what will our code name be when we return..."
"Venomous snake!" Minglou said quietly while admiring the street view outside the car window.
"what about me?"
"The same goes for you! I am a venomous snake, and you are also a venomous snake. I am you, and you are me. Do you understand?"
"I don't quite understand!" Ah Cheng replied truthfully.
Minglou smiled and said, "Then let's figure it out before we return to Shanghai. After all, this is probably our last peaceful day."
…
"Teacher, all the procedures have been completed and you can board the ship!" Outside the ticket gate of the customs pier, a young man dressed in a gray cloth gown respectfully greeted another man in a gray cloth gown with a top hat on his head.
The middle-aged man said.
However, after hearing this, the middle-aged man waved his hand first, then pointed at Li Qiang and others who were moving luggage from the car not far away, and asked: "Do you know me?"
The young man quickly looked in the direction of his finger, and then almost blurted out: "I know them, they are Ming Jing, the chairman of Ming's enterprise, and Ming Tai, the young master of Ming's family. As for the luggage carrier... the student doesn't know them."
"
And just as the two of them were talking, Li Qiang, who was still moving his luggage before, suddenly glanced over as if he felt something...
