Time is like water, flowing endlessly.
In a blink of an eye, one month passed.
It was raining lightly this morning. It was drizzling. Looking into the distance, the entire Shanghai area was covered with rain.
People on the street were running to avoid the rain. A couple was holding an oilcloth umbrella. Under the oilcloth umbrella, a child of several years old was sitting on his father's strong arms. His chubby little hands were hugging his father's neck. A pair of smart, bright big eyes. Eyes, blinking, looking at the drizzle blocked by the oilcloth umbrella.
Upstairs, on the second floor of the Afternoon Cafe, Qian Wenxuan sat there by the window, looking at the street in silence.
"What are you thinking about?"
Yu Manli came up from behind, holding a bunch of washed grapes with crystal water droplets hanging on them. She picked a grape with her delicate hands and put it into her red lips.
Qian Wen didn't look back, he was still leaning against the window, looking at the gentle breeze and drizzle outside the window and the people passing by in a hurry.
"have a bee in one's bonnet."
Yu Manli blinked her beautiful eyes, tilted her head, thinking wildly? He didn't ask further questions after that, but instead picked a grape and stuffed it into Qian Wen's mouth, and said at the same time, "Zhang Jixun is dead. He died in front of his own house. He was shot to death randomly."
"Zhang Jixun? Chief Zhang Jixun of the North District Bureau?"
Qian Wen chewed, turned to look at Yu Manli, and said in surprise.
"If I remember correctly, it hasn't been a week since Zhang Jixun was secretly incited to rebel by us, right?"
Yu Manli nodded, ate a grape herself, and fed Qian Wen another grape, murmuring, "Yes, yes."
"Do you know who did it?" Qian Wen asked.
Zhang Jixun is the secret line of his development. He has not used it even once, so he will cut it off now?
"How many times is this already?"
"The third.
A deputy director of the telecommunications section of the puppet government general office, a section chief of the Railway Transportation Supervision and Management Department, and Zhang Jixun, the newly developed police chief. "
Qian Wen rubbed his brows and said with a headache, "If this continues, all the people we have managed to develop will die."
Yu Manli covered her mouth and chuckled, "Anyone who asked you to develop is a traitor and lackey who has betrayed the country and surrendered to the enemy. They are all thorns in the flesh."
"Who makes them weak and so threatening?" Qian Wen shrugged.
These people, you don’t need to guess to know that they have been raped.
With the three axes of 'one trick that can be eaten everywhere', 'money clears the way', and 'synthetics', there are Qian Wen's people in every department, industry, and gang in Shanghai. If one or two die, Qian Wen will not be able to survive. Shocked, I accepted my bad luck.
It's just that his side was cut a bit frequently, and Qian Wen was also very curious as to which passing god was able to pluck his wool.
Afterwards Qian Wen asked, "Have you found out who the person over there did it?"
Underground party? Military rule?
"I have investigated, and there is news from insider No. 76 that a military special agent group called Poison Scorpion has been active recently.
It should be their fault. "
"Scorpion?"
Qian Wen, who was still a little unorganized, suddenly stood up and woke up, staring at Yu Manli in shock.
He confirmed again seriously, "Poisonous scorpion? Poison's poison, scorpion's scorpion?"
Yu Manli didn't expect Qian Wen to have such a big reaction. She had not seen such a superficial look of surprise on him for a long time. Especially after their intelligence network is truly effective.
"Who is this person named Poisonous Scorpion? Why is Mingtai so surprised, even shocked and speechless?" Yu Manli was secretly curious.
"Well, it's these two words. Is there any problem?" Yu Manli replied.
Qian Wen did not respond, but frowned and sat down slowly, his eyes dull and empty.
Apparently deep in thought.
Yu Manli frowned slightly and did not disturb Qian Wen. She just sat down quietly and waited.
Poisonous scorpion!
This should have been the code name after graduating from Mingtai Military Academy, which means it should be Qian Wen's code name. However, due to various reasons and coincidence, Qian Wen's code name after officially graduating from the military academy was 'Crow' instead of 'Poisonous Scorpion' .
Qian Wen had long forgotten about the code name and didn't take it to heart except for being slightly shocked at first.
Now he suddenly heard the news, which suddenly brought back the memories in his heart.
At the same time, my eyelids twitched.
This feeling made Qian Wen very bad. Something was happening around him, and it seemed to have some kind of relationship with him, but he didn't know anything about it.
"Is it you? Wang Tianfeng?" Qian Wen thought to himself, and Wang Tianfeng appeared in his mind.
Since Wang Tianfeng returned to Shanghai and took over the Shanghai Naval Intelligence Section, Qian Wen had never met Wang Tianfeng again since they met once.
It was the original contact point, the photo studio. After Wang Tianfeng wanted to go back, it seemed to have given up soon and became empty. Now the photo studio is also looking for rent.
Qian Wen also asked Yu Manli to send someone to look for him. In the end, their intelligence network only caught Wang Tianfeng's tail. A point of contact for a certain military commander.
As for Wang Tianfeng, Qian Wen has not found him, and he still doesn't know where he is hidden.
Even at Guo Qiyun's place, Qian Wen only asked that Wang Tianfeng had a single line of contact with him, and he could not contact Wang Tianfeng on his own initiative.
Whether Guo Qiyun is telling the truth remains to be verified. What seems suspicious but certain is that Wang Tianfeng really doesn't seem to pay attention to him anymore.
This book made Qian Wen faintly happy. No one likes to have the Sword of Damocles hanging over their head all the time.
Although he didn't really relax, Qian Wen did relax a bit.
Now, hearing the name "Poisonous Scorpion" was like a slap in the face, making him sober.
"Is the Death Plan still being implemented?"
The codename "Poisonous Scorpion" made it difficult for Qian Wen not to think about this aspect.
The death plan has almost become a worry for him.
"What?" Yu Manli asked softly with concern after hearing Qian Wen's inaudible murmur.
Qian Wen took a deep breath and shook his head, "It's okay, I just thought of some bad memories.
Manli, collect information on this Scorpion team. I need to know what they have done. "
Yu Manli walked behind Qian Wen, let Qian Wen tilt his head back slightly, and leaned against her bulging chest. She gently pressed his temples with her delicate hands to relieve Qian Wen's pressure.
"Okay, I'll collect it."
The numb pressure and the soft touch on the back of his neck made Qian Wen gently close his eyes, "As soon as possible, this matter is very important."
"Understood." Yu Manli responded softly.
Two days later.
Yu Manli had information about the poisonous scorpion, which she bought from No. 76.
If you want your horse to run, you need to feed it more grass.
Now some of the insiders in No. 76 have become very comfortable with Qian Wen's emergency landing methods and money.
The information obtained said, "The Poisonous Scorpion appeared on the listening team's radio station after the year.
Several confidential documents were leaked in Shanghai, and many rape cases were related to the other party.
Moreover, the other party seems to have participated in the explosion of the Sakura, the explosion of the Japanese consulate and other incidents. Now the poisonous scorpion is simply a thorn in the side of No. 76 and the Super High School.
If you want to get rid of it quickly. "
Qian Wen looked at this intelligence message from No. 76 in surprise.
"The Sakura was blown up? The Japanese consulate was blown up?
Why didn't I know this person existed? "
Qian Wen was surprised and said, these two tasks are his promotion battles. Is there any 'Poisonous Scorpion' involved?
Or are you adding more weight to the agent named Venomous Scorpion?
"I'm also wondering. If you really participated in these two tasks, you should know about it." Yu Manli looked at Qian Wen curiously, but Qian Wen's expression was blank, and it seemed that this person did not exist.
"There's something wrong with Intelligence No. 76!" Yu Manli said hesitantly.
After a moment, Vincent Qian shook his head, "There are some true and false intelligence, some you don't want people to know, and some you want others to know.
And this poisonous scorpion information was obviously partly intentional. "
As the direct executor of those two tasks, Qian Wen obviously saw some clues.
"However, if I want to know more, I may need to find someone." Qian Wen said.
"Who are you looking for?" Yu Manli asked curiously.
Qian Wen smiled and said nothing.
Of course it's Minglou.
Qian Wen had long wanted to ask about Wang Tianfeng's situation from Minglou, but he held it back because of discipline.
But now, the 'Poisonous Scorpion' appeared, and Qian Wen estimated the time. It should be time to change the third theater code book. If the death plan has not been stopped, it must be ready to sprout in a corner of Shanghai.
He must know this news, otherwise... he will not be able to calm down.
He was afraid that if the fire suddenly spread to him while he was still complacent, it would be terrible.
Now is the time to ask.
…………
Minglou car.
In the car, Mingcheng was driving and Minglou was sitting in the back seat.
“Brother, everything you ordered has been arranged.
Just waiting for the poisonous bee to take the initiative to make the 'death knell' ring. "Mingcheng, who was driving, turned his head slightly and said solemnly.
Looking at the flow of people retreating outside the car window, Minglou sighed faintly, "Should I be happy?"
"No, this was chosen and planned by Venomous Bee from beginning to end."
Mingcheng knew what Minglou was talking about.
Minglou just sighed heavily again.
The 'death knell' has sounded, and Wang Tianfeng, who has been hiding, is about to take action.
The death plan he has planned for a long time will unfold and bloom in many directions. No. 76, Special High School, Japanese Invaders in the Third Theater, etc.
This will involve hundreds of thousands of soldiers fighting bloody battles on the front lines.
Minglou stared out of the car window, looking at the endless flow of civilians in the street. The scene of his meeting and conversation with Wang Tianfeng yesterday appeared in his mind.
Go back in time to yesterday afternoon.
A foreign country club.
In a private room.
Minglou and Wang Tianfeng sat opposite each other. Mingcheng and Wang Tianfeng's entourage were waiting at the door.
"Actually, the dead move I chose is Mingtai." Wang Tianfeng spoke.
"I know.
Every time I think about you, a lunatic, dragging Mingtai into this quagmire of flesh and blood, I wish I could kill you alive. "Minglou gritted his teeth.
"Haha, but Mingtai exceeded all of our expectations and got rid of the status of dead chess on his own, so I had to use the backup plan."
"Does it have to be like this? Does it have to be implemented like this?"
“If you want the Japanese invaders to believe this plan, you must have a decisive spirit of sacrifice!
Besides, hasn't Mingtai jumped out? What are you still worried about?
Do your part! "
Having said this, Ming Lou slammed the table, glared at Wang Tianfeng across from him and said, "What do you think I'm angry about?
The poisonous scorpions are also my subordinates! I don't want my men to go on this fatal mission and still be kept in the dark! "
"At this moment, countless frontline soldiers are fighting bloody battles!" Wang Tianfeng also glared.
Neither of them gave in to the other, and after glaring at each other for a moment, the two calmed down.
Wang Tianfeng said goodbye, "I will meet with Mingtai one last time before planning."
Under the table, Ming Lou clenched his hands into fists, "You lunatic!"
Wang Tianfeng was saying goodbye.
Wang Tianfeng took it as a compliment to himself, laughed, then looked straight at Minglou and said seriously, "Although I don't know how you obtained that batch of confidential documents, that batch of information did greatly ease the battle situation on the front line.
But this is far from enough. We need to expand our hard-won advantages, and the Death Plan is imperative.
As for you, Minglou, just stick to it and play this role that no one can replace. "
Following Wang Tianfeng's words, Minglou thought of the batch of confidential documents files given to him by his younger brother Mingtai.
In a small factory warehouse, there are neat rows of cabinets for storing confidential files. Inside, there are confidential files that should have been burned to ashes with the Japanese consulate. Eucalyptus.
Every portion is a treasure.
At that time, Minglou himself looked at the confidential documents that he might not be able to obtain even at the cost of blood, his eyes full of disbelief.
Then Minglou chose and cleverly gave these confidential documents from the Japanese consulate to Chongqing and Yan'an respectively.
Then on the Japanese invaders' side, countless hidden sword spies, frontline battle situations, and hidden secret plans were dug out and surfaced.
Especially the theft of the documents on the troop deployment plan of the Third Theater Zone. Because of an unimaginable explosion in the Japanese consulate and a raging fire that burned until dawn, the theft was not exposed. Strange phenomena occurred in the archives room, confidential rooms, and many important offices, leaving the investigating Japanese invaders without an accurate direction of investigation.
The battle situation on the frontline was changing rapidly, and the Japanese invaders hesitated. Because of this troop deployment plan document, the war in the third theater achieved a major victory, and the Japanese invaders suffered heavy losses.
Because of this incredible theft of a large number of confidential documents, all aspects of the Japanese invaders' invasion plan were greatly affected and changed.
Subsequently, Minglou's importance rose to several levels, and even Chiang Kai-shek knew his name.
After this happened, Minglou's identity protection could not be compromised. The plan to use his younger brother Mingtai as a deadlock was stopped because it would implicate Minglou and was not conducive to his ambush and identity protection.
Even if they are sure of self-protection, they will not allow it. The current military commanders and Chongqing regard Minglou as a treasure.
A few days later, Wang Tianfeng came up with a backup plan that had been implemented for a long time, and the Death Plan was allowed to be restarted.
This time we meet.
Before the death knell rang, and before the death plan was officially implemented, the meeting between Wang Tianfeng and Minglou was to help Minglou, who was the deputy director of the Special Task Force and a multi-tasker, hide himself well and understand his own importance. Just contribute in secret.
This conversation lasted for two hours. Wang Tianfeng looked back at the country club that was full of traitors and lackeys but was extremely safe. Then he looked away and left without looking back, with a decisive aura.
Minglou got into the car with a silent expression.
Correct the timeline.
Return to the Minglou car that is driving to the Ming Mansion.
Minglou had been deep in thought, Mingcheng hesitated to speak, and finally did not disturb him.
Driving quietly, we headed to Ming Mansion and went home.
When he was approaching Ming's mansion, Minglou came to his senses, looked at Mingcheng's back, and asked aloud, "More than a month has passed, are you sure Mingtai understands the smuggling line?
Why didn't he make any movement or react at all? "
Mingcheng paused, and then said helplessly, "Brother, who can figure out Mingtai now?"
Minglou was silent, "Yes, since Mingtai came back, it's like being in a fog.
The more I want to see clearly, the more unclear and elusive I find it. "
To this day, Minglou still can't figure out how those confidential documents were transported out of the Japanese consulate.
“We need to have further contact between Mingtai and the organization.
And develop Mingtai. "Minglou said.
"How about..." Mingcheng hesitated, "Let Uncle Li try?
After all, he is Mingtai's biological father. He has the same blood, and blood is thicker than water. "
Minglou hesitated, this was a good idea, but he and his eldest sister had taken care of Mingtai since childhood, and now his biological father appeared...
Ever since Uncle Li found him some time ago and told him that Tai was the biological son he had been looking for for many years, Minglou couldn't calm down.
The car kept driving, and Ming Mansion arrived, and the big iron door slowly opened.
Mingcheng drove into the front yard and parked the car next to the flower bed.
He turned around and shouted softly, "Brother, we're home."
Ming Lou looked at the luxurious and restrained Ming Mansion, nodded, and ordered before getting out of the car, "Inform Uncle Li and prepare to meet Mingtai."
"yes, Sir."
At this moment, Minglou was very confused. He didn't know if his younger brother would be as close to him and his eldest sister after he recognized his biological father.
Minglou walked towards the foreign-style building, followed closely by Mingcheng.
On the second floor, Qian Wen's room, Qian Wen stood in front of the window and saw his eldest brother Minglou and his two brothers returning home.
The corner of his mouth raised slightly, he turned around and walked out of the room, going downstairs.
Just in time, I met Minglou.
"Brother is back." Qian Wen said with a smile.
"Well, I'm at home.
I just have something to tell you. Come to my room. "Minglou raised his eyes and looked at Qian Wen and said.
"What a coincidence, I also have something to ask my eldest brother." Qian Wen smiled.
"oh?"
Minglou and Mingcheng were curious.
