He rinsed the teacup carefully, then took out two small bags of tea leaves, tore them open, put them in the teacup, made two full cups of tea, and placed them on the small table in front of them.
Before he left, he said, "I'll be back soon to refill your water, free of charge."
Qiao Yanfang pushed a cup of tea in front of Liao Ruolan and took her arm to make herself sit more comfortably.
She whispered: "Sister, tell me about Ancheng. You can tell me anything, I want to hear it."
When Liao Ruolan saw Qiao Yanfang buying tea, she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep tonight. Miss Qiao would not let her go.
But, what should we talk about with her? They are two such different people, they have nothing in common. She will never talk to her about matters within the organization. She will not talk about the domestic situation in Japan if she can.
.
Looking at it now, she can only talk about Xiao Ancheng. Of course, what Miss Qiao cares about most is Xiao Ancheng.
As a result, she unconsciously fell into reminiscing about past events and talked about what happened in college intermittently.
She said: "Actually, Zifeng and Ancheng got to know me first, and then they got to know each other."
Qiao Yanfang said with a smile: "I guess there must have been many male classmates surrounding you at that time."
Liao Ruolan did not comment and continued: "What I didn't expect was that as soon as they met, they became best friends and were almost inseparable. Every time I see them, I see the two of them."
"I guess they must compete in front of you, right? Do they compete?"
"They fight."
"Oh my God! Is this a duel?"
Liao Ruolan laughed happily, "Of course not. They fight over every little thing. However, they are either really fighting or joking. They laugh and fight at the same time. Every time I have to step in between them and stop them from fighting."
Qiao Yanfang raised her face and smiled so charmingly, "Oh, I'm so yearning for it. I really wish I could get in between them and pull them apart. Sister, will you pout and be angry at them?"
"Occasionally. That's just pretending."
"What about them? How do you express it?"
"They just laughed and walked beside me one by one. Sometimes when it rained and there was a small patch of water on the ground, they would lift me up and cross over the small patch of water."
"You must be smiling a lot."
"I couldn't help it at the time, I just wanted to laugh."
"Sister, if I were carried by them across stagnant water or something, I would probably collapse laughing."
"Now that I think about it, it's really funny."
"Sister, between the two of them, who do you want to smile at more? Tell me the truth, okay?"
Liao Ruolan turned back and looked at the big-eyed Qiao Yanfang with a smile. She could see again that this Miss Qiao was indeed passionate about An Cheng. She thought it was better to tell the truth.
"At that time, I wanted to smile at Anjo even more."
"I guess so." Qiao Yanfang looked at her with a smile and spoke quite calmly.
"Then, suddenly one day, they all left and disappeared without even saying goodbye."
"They went to join the army."
"That's what I guessed at the time. They must be fighting against Japan. Think about it, how could I stop them!"
"You must have been very sad at the time."
"Yes, I have been sad for a long time."
Qiao Yanfang suddenly shook her and said almost close to her ear: "Sister, don't talk about them all the time, just tell me about Ancheng. How is he, what does he like, what does he love to do the most,
Anything, just tell me."
Liao Ruolan looked back at the dark night outside the car window, with occasional sparse lights flashing by. With a faint smile on her face, she was once again immersed in the memories of the past.
Qiao Yanfang remained calm and observed her carefully, as if she wanted to see inside her heart.
Liao Ruolan finally said: "He loves reading, being alone, and thinking quietly. If you disturb him at this time, it will take him a while to recognize you. He loves to be clean, and his things are always tidied. He
He is very polite and hopes others will be polite to him."
Qiao Yanfang asked: "Sister, what else is there?"
Liao Ruolan looked back at her and said softly: "He is very smart."
Qiao Yanfang shook her and said, "Sister, he is not ordinary smart! I know!"
Liao Ruolan nodded, "Yes, he is not ordinary smart."
She spoke lightly, but her heart gradually rose and fell, rising and falling like the tide, swaying unsteadily.
She vaguely understood that she was not so decisive. Xiao Ancheng's voice, appearance, and every move were still imprinted in her heart like a knife and an axe. She could never forget him. This was the most painful thing for her.
Qiao Yanfang smiled slightly and looked at her quietly, as if she really saw her heart.
She said softly: "Sister, you actually like him very much, don't you?"
Liao Ruolan also looked at her quietly, struggling in her heart, and finally said softly: "I liked him before."
"What now?" She raised her eyebrows and looked at Liao Ruolan attentively.
"I've changed, you know," she said.
Qiao Yanfang suddenly woke up. This Miss Liao used to love Xiao Ancheng, and she must have loved Xiao Ancheng unforgettablely. Now they have distanced themselves only because of their different political views. This Miss Liao is a communist, so of course she must leave Ancheng!
Thinking of this, she felt very good. Brother Xiao and I have exactly the same political views!
Maybe Brother Xiao can't forget Sister Liao now, but as time goes by, especially when he knows that Sister Liao is a common friend, he will definitely forget her completely!
When it was almost dawn, they cuddled each other and fell asleep. The people who appeared in their dreams were all Xiao Ancheng. One was sad, the other was happy, each was different.
22-1
It was also after dawn that Peng Shaoyong finally left Qiaojia Lane.
When he drove out of the narrow and dark alley, he patted the driver on the shoulder and said, "Go to Sixth Avenue!"
He clearly felt that tonight's incident must be reported to Luo Jiang as soon as possible.
The situation in front of us is indeed complicated, and this is only one of the reasons.
What he had more questions in his mind was, was Luo Jiang really related to the Japanese? If so, to what extent and what nature it was! He needed to find out!
He has a calm judgment. Even if Luo Jiang really has a relationship with the Japanese, he is almost certain that he does! But this relationship is more likely to be political, a kind of channel communication between the enemy and ourselves!
He can completely understand this kind of contact. War is the continuation of politics!
But the problem is that if Luo Jiang doesn't explain it to him and doesn't let him know what he's doing, maybe one of his actions will run into this kind of secret contact at some point! Then he's asking for trouble! It's even worse.
Unjustly accused!
It was already late at night, and there were almost no people or vehicles on the street. The humid atmosphere from the Huangpu River in the summer night was gradually spreading, making Peng Shaoyong feel depressed and even anxious.
Chen Zifeng suspected that he was secretly collaborating with the Japanese! And that Xiao Ancheng was even more worryingly shrewd! It did make sense for Luo Jiang to ask him to pay attention to this Xiao Ancheng! But now, he still doesn't know how to deal with these two people!
When he drove to Sixth Avenue, he was a little surprised. He saw Luo Jiang's car parked at the entrance of the small building.
He couldn't help but wonder, it was already late at night, did Luo Jiang still want to go out? Who was he going to meet? To meet the Japanese? He thought like this naturally.
He said to the men in the front seat and beside him: "Pay attention to your surroundings."
Every time he came here, he felt uneasy. There seemed to be many dangers hidden around him.
His car parked behind Luo Jiang's car. He got out of the car and walked slowly towards the car in front.
He was a little unsure whether to wait here for Luo Jiang to come out or to knock on the door directly.
However, when he lowered his head and looked into the car, he unexpectedly saw Luo Jiang's driver pointing a pistol at him. This situation shocked him!
The driver quickly recognized Peng Shaoyong and immediately put down his gun, but whispered: "Captain Peng, please look around to see if there is anything unusual!" He seemed to be quite nervous.
Peng Shaoyong suddenly realized the danger from his words. He immediately lowered his body, reached under his arm and pulled out his gun.
At this moment, he heard a shot suddenly fired from somewhere on the right, possibly diagonally across the street.
The sound of gunshots seemed particularly clear and crisp in the humid night, and even more terrifying.
The shot seemed to have hit the front glass of the car. He raised his head and glanced into the car. The driver was leaning on the seat, with blood all over his face. He had obviously been shot to death!
He immediately lay down and fired back in the direction of the shooting.
He knew he couldn't hit anything, so he could only bend down and lie on the ground. The guard he brought had jumped out of the car like a rabbit, ducked behind the car, and pointed his gun in the direction of the gunshot.
Almost at the same time, there was a roar and a car sped from behind.
As the car approached, it suddenly slowed down and made a screeching sound. Then, the people in the car fired violently at the two cars on the other side. There was a loud sound of gunfire and broken glass flying everywhere.
Peng Shaoyong and his guards fired desperately at the car, just like a fierce battle.
The window of the small building behind them was also opened, and someone shot at the car from the window.
Peng Shaoyong heard Captain Ma shouting from upstairs: "Who is below! Answer quickly!" He hurriedly turned around and shouted: "Old Ma, it's me, Peng Shaoyong! Shoot quickly and suppress them!"
The whole process of this fierce battle lasted less than a minute.
The people in the car obviously realized that they had no advantage, so they immediately hit the accelerator and sped away.
Peng Shaoyong and others immediately became brave, jumped up, and chased the car away and fired several times. It wasn't until the car disappeared that they walked back with their guns in angrily voice.
Captain Ma shouted from upstairs: "Lao Peng, tell your people to drive the car away! The patrol may be arriving soon!"
Peng Shaoyong's car started first, turned around and drove away from the scene. A brother ran over, pushed the driver who was killed to the side, started the car and drove away.
The door of the small building opened, and Captain Ma shouted from inside: "Lao Peng, come in quickly."
