1940, February 7.
New Year's Eve.
The last cold night at the end of the year.
Just after dusk, colorful fireworks flashed in the sky. Under the festive night sky, the fake and prosperous streets and alleys were illuminated by red lights and the words "Happy".
Under the lanterns, in the alley in front of the door, the frowning frown of the adults all year round is relieved a little by the sound of children running and playing happily.
Have fun in the midst of suffering.
A famous western restaurant.
Qian Wen was dressed luxuriously, and Pei Yuying opposite was charming. The two enjoyed the New Year's Eve dinner and sipped red wine.
The dinner was very extravagant, and the food in front of them was full of color and fragrance. The two of them elegantly held knives and forks, enjoying the food, clinking glasses from time to time, looking at each other and smiling, like a talented and beautiful couple.
Not far away, at a dining table in the back, Guo Qiyun was eating veal steak and drinking wine alone, feeling a bit sad and desolate.
There are many guests in the dining area of the western restaurant, all of whom are rich and noble in gorgeous clothes, and the waiters are serving them diligently.
Halfway through the meal, Qian Wen gently put down his knife and fork, twitched the corner of his mouth, and looked at his watch. It was almost time.
"Action in ten minutes."
Pei Yuying, who was opposite her, had a soft smile on her face, chewing the food slowly and ladylikely, and nodded gently.
Qian Wen stood up and walked to the bathroom of the western restaurant.
When Guo Qiyun saw Qian Wen getting up, he hurriedly looked at his watch and knew he had to take action.
Operation hoeing.
He also trained Pei Yuying, targeting a high-level official of the Shanghai puppet government who held great power. Qian Wen chose him from the assassination list given by Dufeng.
The reason for choosing this official was precisely because he and Wang Furui had ordered New Year's Eve dinner at this Western restaurant and had dinner here on New Year's Eve.
Qian Wen had to deal with Wang Furui, and this high-ranking official of the puppet government happened to be training for Pei Yuying, who had just arrived in Shanghai.
The operation has received the approval of Viper Minglou. Of course, this approval refers to the anti-corruption operation of puppet government officials, and Wang Furui is Qian Wen's target.
Qian Wen came out of the bathroom and did not go back to his table. Instead, he went up to the second floor of the western restaurant with his body hidden.
The second floor is a VIP box, luxuriously decorated and more private.
Both Wang Furui and the puppet government officials who were the target of the anti-rape operation were dining in their own private rooms on the second floor.
They've been here for a while.
Qian Wen came out of the bathroom and had already changed into the clothes of a waiter in a Western restaurant.
Not far from Wang Furui's box, there were three bodyguards guarding the entrance to the corridor outside the box.
Qian Wen didn't pay attention. He looked around and saw that there was no one else. He was sure that he could take action. He held a tray in his hand and walked towards Wang Furui's box with his head down.
Qian Wen's approach attracted the attention and eyes of the bodyguard at the door of the box.
Three cautious and sharp eyes glanced at Qian Wen.
Seeing that Qian Wen was wearing the clothes of a Western restaurant, he was a little less vigilant. He just put his hand on the gun in his arms instead of taking it out.
One of the big men opened his mouth and asked Qian Wendao, "What are you giving me?"
"A fruit plate from our restaurant." Qian Wen said casually. Qian Wen did not stop and continued to approach.
It was close, very close, less than five steps away from the three bodyguards, and they still had their guns in their waistbands.
At this distance, the three of them would definitely die. No accident, and no sound would be made.
"We didn't ask for any fruit plate, take it back!"
Maybe there was an explanation, but the bodyguard was very responsible and courteous.
In the effort of two sentences, the distance is three steps.
Qian Wen seemed stunned by the bodyguard's scolding, paused, and then...
The bodyguard who spoke only saw a flash of silver light, and nothing more after that.
At the same time, one of the other two bodyguards was stabbed in the throat with a flying knife and fell to his knees.
One person was choked by Qian Wen with one hand, lifted up, with his feet off the ground, with fear in his eyes, moaning uh uh, struggling to survive. With the sound of broken bones, Qian Wen strangled his throat and his tongue slipped. Come out, drooping.
Swish, swish, three times, the three corpses were taken into the dimensional space.
Except for some blood stains on the ground, the corpse was destroyed on the spot.
The movement outside the door did not disturb the people in the box. Qian Wen reached out and looked at his watch, "Well, there is still enough time to change clothes." '
The target of the anti-rape operation is in the north box on the second floor, where Wang Furui is being accommodated, which is perfect for Pei Yuying!
Gently push open the box door.
There was only Wang Fuli in the box, sitting on the sofa, listening to the melodious music played by the gramophone, sipping foreign wine with her legs crossed, very leisurely and contented, as if she was waiting for someone.
Seeing Qian Wen, dressed as a waiter in a Western restaurant, pushing open the door and entering, he was not nervous at all, "Why did you get in?"
I thought it was my own bodyguard who let me in at the door.
Qian Wen raised his head and smiled strangely at Wang Furui.
"you……"
Wang Furui noticed something was wrong.
Qian Wen had no intention of talking to Wang Furui. He stepped forward, grabbed Wang Furui's hair, knocked her hard on the coffee table in front of her with a bang, knocked her unconscious, and put her into the dimensional space neatly.
Then start changing clothes.
Soon, he put on the luxurious clothes, except for a top hat on his head and a scar on his face.
The goods Qian Wen asked for have been received, and it's time to go hoeing.
The bodies of the three bodyguards in the dimensional space were thrown into the box. Qian Wen locked the door and left.
Second floor, north side.
Pei Yuying stood in the corridor, lit a cigarette charmingly, twisted her graceful waist like a water snake, and walked towards the target box.
There were only two people guarding the door of the target's box, both spies.
Seeing such a charming Pei Yuying, she salivated and subconsciously licked the corners of her mouth.
The two agents looked straight at Pei Yuying, looking up and down at that alluring figure with dishonest eyes.
At this time, Pei Yuying suddenly gave the two agents an extremely charming look. It was like falling in love at first sight, and the two agents felt numb.
Then, the black muzzle of a gun appeared in their eyes.
A moment of sage, so scary!
Pei Yuying immediately fired, and with two bangs, a bloody hole appeared between the eyebrows of the two agents.
Behind him, Qian Wen appeared and walked towards Pei Yuying.
Pei Yuying looked back at Qian Wen and saw the scars on Qian Wen's face. She raised her eyebrows and without asking any questions, nodded lightly to each other and entered the box together.
At the same time, Qian Wen was surprised by Pei Yuying's good skills.
She just happens to be straightforward, and she is also a woman who does not give in to men.
On the second floor, gunshots rang out.
On the first floor, the three No. 76 agents sent by Wang Manchun to protect his uncle Wang Furui exploded. They took out their guns and rushed to the second floor.
They knew how powerful Director Wang Manchun was, and there was a faint fear in their hearts. If something happened to Wang Furui under their protection, their lives would be in danger. On No. 76, no one was afraid of Director Wang Manchun of the Intelligence Division.
He is ruthless in killing his enemies, and he is equally merciless in killing his own people.
At this time, Guo Qiyun, who was on the first floor, suddenly stood up, took a gun and shot at the three agents, sending them back to the west.
In Qian Wen's actions, Guo Qiyun was the one who finished the job and dealt with possible accidents.
Just like the three hidden agents of No. 76, although Qian Wen had already noticed it.
Well, in fact, the other thing is to prove to Qian Wen that he did not disobey orders and act casually.
It proves that he is a good boy who listened to Shangfeng's words. Wang Furui's attack and disappearance had nothing to do with him.
On the first floor, Guo Qiyun cleaned up the three No. 76 agents. When he saw no more unexpected appearances, he pressed the brim of his hat and evacuated outside the western restaurant as planned, following the panicked flow of people.
Soon, Qian Wen and Pei Yuying also appeared in the alley behind the Western restaurant, where a senior official of the puppet government was lying in a pool of blood.
The anti-rape operation was successfully completed.
On the way, Qian Wen and Pei Yuying separated. Pei Yuying went to the photo studio to report, and then paid attention to safety and moved freely. Guo Qiyun went to accompany his little girlfriend, and Qian Wen went to find Yu Manli.
I'm going over New Year's Eve.
The lights were bright, and on the stone road, Qian Wen hurried towards Yu Manli's courtyard.
Soon, the place arrived.
There are big red blessing characters on the wooden door and red lanterns hanging on them.
Be beaming.
There was a row of fireworks at the door and facing the street.
Yu Manli is wearing a cheongsam, with a graceful figure, a white mink shawl, and fashionable curls. She is hugging her shoulders and looking around at the door, waiting for someone.
Seeing Qian Wen appear from around the corner, her beautiful eyes were filled with joy.
Qian Wen ran at a trot, then walked slowly when he got close. He walked up to Yu Manli, glanced at the fireworks at his feet, and said with a smile, "Beautiful lady, can you please set off the fireworks together?"
Yu Manli nodded cutely and vigorously.
She was really happy.
There was a whooshing sound in the air, and sparks with tails exploded in the air, leaving people with a gorgeous brilliance.
Gorgeous and colorful.
One bunch, one bunch, and another bunch, the fireworks shot into the night sky.
"What a beauty."
Yu Manli raised her head, smiled slightly, and murmured in a daze.
Qian Wen stood next to Yu Manli and nodded, "Well, it's so beautiful."
After the fireworks were set off, a New Year's Eve dinner cooked by Yu Manli was placed on the table in the main room of her home.
Although Qian Wen has already eaten, there is no problem in eating more.
The two of them talked and laughed, enjoyed this rare and comfortable New Year's Eve dinner, and felt the joy of New Year's Eve.
Qian Wen raised his glass and looked at Yu Manli, who was already smiling, "Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year."
Yu Manli was filled with a happy smile and clinked glasses with Qian Wen.
Her beautiful face was flushed, her eyes were a little blurry, and everyone was drunk even if they were not drunk.
This moment was the happiest time for Yu Manli in so many years.
…………
Minglou's car.
He hurried to the western restaurant where the accident happened.
Originally, a rape removal mission, an assassination mission, and the death of a puppet government official would not have caused Minglou to be in such a hurry. He should have been on his way home at this time.
But just as he was about to take a car home from the government office building, a piece of news interrupted his trip.
Junior sister Wang Manchun's uncle and his teacher, Wang Furui, was attacked and disappeared.
The place where the shooting occurred was the Western restaurant where the younger brother assassinated the puppet government officials.
Wang Manchun is of great use here in Minglou. When this happened, Minglou had to change his schedule and go to a Western restaurant to comfort Wang Manchun and express the students' concerns.
On the road, in the car.
"Brother, could Mingtai do it?"
Mingcheng asked. He knew that Wang Furui was Mingtai's mother-killing enemy. Now that he happened to be in a Western restaurant, Mingcheng had to be suspicious.
Minglou didn't answer, he just took off his glasses and wiped them gently.
After a while, he said, "Ask Guo Qiyun!"
He couldn't say for sure. Based on his understanding of his little brother, it was very likely that he would be motivated by this.
In fact, he did not prevent his younger brother from assassinating Wang Furui. As long as his younger brother reported it, he would definitely allow it. Even if his younger brother didn't say anything, he would arrange the assassination later.
Because Wang Furui has been investigating him with the Japanese invaders, and is also an enemy of his Ming family.
But this was too sudden, and Minglou didn't like this feeling of losing control.
"If it really is Mingtai..."
Mingcheng wanted to speak but stopped.
Minglou didn't speak. On one hand, he was his favorite little brother, and on the other hand, he was directly on the peak as a crow.
After a while, the western restaurant will arrive soon.
Mingcheng looked at his watch and reminded, "Brother, today is New Year's Eve. Sister..."
"Then drive faster!" Minglou said in a deep voice.
…………
The night passed.
The first day of the new year, the first day of the lunar new year.
Minglou didn't sleep well all night.
Yesterday, many surprises came to him at the same time in the New Year.
The first one is that Wang Furui disappeared.
What is certain is that it was not the younger brother who did it. I don’t know who did it.
The second one is that my younger brother Mingtai didn’t go home on New Year’s Eve!
He was already in front of the door, and he wasn't injured during the mission, so why not go home! Celebrate the New Year with my eldest sister!
"What a turn of events!"
When he thought of this, Minglou was even more angry than when he found out that Wang Furui had disappeared unexpectedly.
As he said that, he looked at the New Year gift he had prepared for his younger brother and closed it angrily.
"Don't come back if you can. I want to see if your wings are stiff, and you can't even enter the house after three times!
Come back and see how I deal with you! "
Minglou said angrily in a low voice, using the tone of an eldest brother speaking to his younger brother.
The third thing is that it was not unexpected, he knew it well.
The eldest sister Ming Jing talked to him in advance.
Mingcheng's adoptive mother, Aunt Gui, suddenly appeared and came back with her suitcase while they were having New Year's Eve dinner with their eldest sister on New Year's Eve.
Well, Mingcheng is in a bad mood.
The eldest sister was also a little embarrassed. She was soft-hearted about this, but she didn't expect that before Mingcheng's work was done, Aunt Gui came without telling her and chose to do it on New Year's Eve.
There was a good thing, because after Wang Furui was attacked and disappeared, he accompanied and comforted Wang Manchun, and Wang Manchun paid more attention to him, which was conducive to his control of No. 76.
Squeak~~
The door was pushed open gently, making a slight sound.
Minglou looked up.
It was Mingcheng who walked in with a tray and breakfast.
"Brother, breakfast."
Sandwich, milk gently put down.
"Yeah." Minglou nodded.
"A Cheng, Aunt Gui..."
Minglou still wanted to untie Mingcheng's knot. Although Mingcheng was not the young master of the family like his younger brother Mingtai, he, his eldest sister, and the family had long regarded Mingcheng as an inseparable part.
"Brother, Yoko Minami from the Special High School class invited me to the Navy Club."
Mingcheng blocked the conversation and said that he didn't want to bring up the topic of his adoptive mother.
When it came to important matters, Minglou sat up straight and looked at Mingcheng.
Morning, close to noon.
About ten past eleven.
At the entrance of Ming Mansion.
Qian Wen appeared at the door of Ming Mansion carrying his suitcase, wearing a tall student uniform and a scarf.
He gently pushed the big iron door at the entrance of Ming Mansion, but it didn't open.
Qian Wen pressed the doorbell at the door.
Soon, Axiang ran out.
Seeing Qian Wen, he was surprised and shouted happily, "Young Master, Young Master, you are back~"
Xiaotiao opened the door for Qian Wen, took the luggage from Qian Wen's hand, and ran home happily, cheering, "The young master is back, the young master is back."
The eldest lady ~ the eldest young master ~
The young master is back~"
The Ming Mansion seemed to have exploded.
Minglou, who was reading documents in his room, stood up and walked out the door. After a pause, he returned to put away the documents on the table, turned back again, and this time walked out the door unhurriedly.
However, Ming Jing, who lived on the second floor, had already rushed to the door of the foreign-style building.
"Mingtai~"
When Ming Jing saw his younger brother, he was extremely happy. Even the disappointment of not spending New Year's Eve together last night also improved.
"Sister." Qian Wen shouted with a smile.
Minglou also appeared at the door of the foreign building, looking at it with a smile.
Seeing my little brother, all the things that happened in the morning turned into smiles and affection in my eyes.
