Chapter 651 [Pretender 12]
The family sat together to eat a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner, with laughter and joy between the cups. However, the naughty Mingtai suddenly asked to listen to an opera, which made the tired Minglou reluctant. But Mingjing loved Mingtai very much, and when she heard that he wanted to listen to an opera, she also asked Minglou to perform a piece.
Mingtai had always been dissatisfied with Minglou's position as an official in the Wang Puppet Government, and just now he mocked Minglou by taking advantage of the gift. At this moment, he deliberately ordered a play "Su Wu Shepherding Sheep" to ridicule his elder brother Minglou for "taking the thief as his father". Minglou's face darkened and he was very unhappy.
Despite this, Minglou reluctantly agreed to sing a song for everyone. At this moment, Ah Cheng's mother Aunt Gui suddenly came back, and the originally joyful atmosphere instantly became solemn. It turned out that more than 20 years ago, Aunt Gui was Ah Cheng's adoptive mother, but she not only abandoned the young Ah Cheng, but also tried to kill him. Therefore, Ah Cheng could not forgive Aunt Gui for what she did back then. No matter how Minglou tried to persuade him, it was of no avail.
After dinner, Ah Cheng walked into the kitchen with his bowl and chopsticks, and happened to meet Aunt Gui who was washing the dishes. When Aunt Gui saw Ah Cheng, she quickly put down the bowl in her hand, walked to Ah Cheng, and said softly with a guilty expression on her face: "Ming Cheng, I know you hate me, but I really have my reasons, and I hope you can forgive me."
However, Ah Cheng was not moved by her words. His eyes were cold and firm, as if he had seen through Aunt Gui's disguise. He recalled all the bad things Aunt Gui had done to him in the past, and the hatred in his heart could not be eliminated, so he replied indifferently: "Good or bad, these have nothing to do with me." After that, he turned around and prepared to leave the kitchen.
Aunt Gui saw Ah Cheng was so determined, she couldn't help but get anxious, and quickly grabbed his hand, saying in a tearful voice: "If you have to leave, I'll be the one to leave."
Afterwards, Aunt Gui came to Mingjing's room and knocked on the door. She pretended to be pitiful and said to Mingjing, "Miss, I have thought about it and decided to leave here. I don't want my existence to affect Ah Cheng and your lives."
After hearing this, Ming Jing frowned and said unhappily, "Aunt Gui, it's already very late and it's snowing outside. It's not safe for you to go out alone. Why don't you stay here for one night and then we can persuade Ah Cheng together tomorrow morning."
When Aunt Gui heard this, she immediately burst into tears of gratitude and said, "Thank you, Miss. I know I have done a lot of wrong things in the past, but please believe me, I will try my best to make up for it." As she spoke, a cunning gleam flashed in her eyes, and she thought: As long as I can stay, I still have a chance to win back Ah Cheng's heart.
The next morning, the sun shone through the window onto Wang Manchun's face. She got up, washed, dressed, and went to Intelligence Office No. 76. As soon as she entered the office, she reported the news of Wang Fuqiu's assassination to her superiors and applied for a few days of vacation. On the surface, she was going to deal with her uncle's funeral, but in fact, she planned to use this opportunity to cooperate with Jinse to attack the Japanese again. Because Wang Fuqiu had a certain status in the minds of the Japanese, they would definitely attend the funeral.
As expected, when Fujita Yoshimasa learned the news, he decided to personally bring Minami Yoko to the funeral to express his respect for Wang Fuqiu. At the same time, Liang Zhongchun and Minglou also came to pay their respects.
Fujita Yoshimasa walked up to Wang Manchun, bowed deeply, and said in a heavy tone: "I'm very sorry to hear such news, Miss Wang, please accept my condolences."
Wang Manchun nodded slightly, a trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and she replied softly: "Thank you, Colonel, for coming to the scene in person."
Fujita Yoshimasa continued: "This is what I should do. After all, your uncle has made many contributions to us."
Wang Manchun nodded gratefully, and then led Fujita Yoshimasa and others to the mourning hall. Watching them gradually go away, Wang Manchun gestured to Jinse who was hiding in the dark, indicating that they could start the action now.
Their target is not Fujita Yoshimasa, but Minami Yoko. It is too dangerous for Wang Manchun to lurk alone, and Jinse is not at ease. In addition, there is Minglou who is watching secretly, so the best choice now is to let Jinse transform into Minami Yoko and lurk under her identity. In this way, she can not only assist Wang Manchun in her work, but also better protect her.
The whole operation went very smoothly, and Jinse quietly replaced Minami Yoko without arousing anyone's suspicion. The real Minami Yoko had been quietly dealt with by Jinse.
When Wang Manchun saw Minami Yoko coming back from outside, the two nodded slightly, and Wang Manchun knew that the plan had succeeded. Afterwards, Jinse stayed with Fujita Yoshimasa as Minami Yoko, and Fujita Yoshimasa did not have any doubts about her.
Wang Fuqiu's funeral was carried out in an orderly manner and did not arouse anyone's suspicion throughout the process.
That morning, the sun shone through the curtains into the room, and Ah Cheng was discussing with Ming Lou in a serious manner. It turned out that Jin Se had called Ah Cheng over early in the morning in the guise of Minami Yoko, which made them realize that the situation might not be good. Ming Lou knew that the other party had come with bad intentions, so he told Ah Cheng to be careful.
Then, Ming Lou turned and walked towards Ming Tai's room, knocking gently on the door to wake up his sleeping brother. He said he wanted to have a good talk with Ming Tai, and there was a hint of seriousness in his tone. Ming Tai rubbed his sleepy eyes and followed his brother to the living room.
Ming Lou deliberately brought up the HKU incident, trying to test Ming Tai's reaction. Ming Tai was shocked, but remained calm on the surface and began to make up lies to cover up his whereabouts. As the conversation deepened, Ming Tai gradually became nervous, and his forehead was slightly sweating. The conversation between the two brothers also mentioned Ming Tai's deceased biological mother, which made Ming Tai feel heavy. Ming Lou looked at his brother's expression, and a sense of guilt surged in his heart, thinking that he had made his brother sad.
However, at this moment, Mingtai suddenly looked up and looked directly into Minglou's eyes and asked, "Brother, are you a traitor?"
Minglou was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect his brother to question him so directly.
The complexity of the matter made it difficult to explain it to his brother at once, so Ming Lou could only answer helplessly: "In my position, many things cannot be simply defined as black and white. Let history judge the right and wrong and the merits and demerits."
At the same time, Ah Cheng behaved very calmly in front of Jinse. He cleverly reminded Jinse that there were problems within the puppet government and deliberately directed suspicion to the dead traitor. Jinse listened quietly, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
After that, Jinse pretended to think deeply for a moment, then told Mingcheng that she would find out the truth and asked him to leave first. Afterwards, Jinse went to visit Wang Manchun, and the two chatted for a whole afternoon. In the eyes of outsiders, Minami Yoko seemed to be looking for trouble, but in fact, they were there talking about trivial matters such as clothes and jewelry.
At the same time, Ming Jing found Ming Lou and wanted to talk to him about Aunt Gui. At this time, Ming Tai sneaked into Ming Lou's room, but was discovered by Ah Cheng.
Mingtai suddenly had an idea and made up an excuse to ask Acheng to move the ladder, and then took the opportunity to quickly look through Minglou's filing cabinet, looking for information about the secret filming.
When Cheng returned, he keenly observed Mingtai's every move. Mingtai pretended to be calm and continued reading the book, while cleverly diverting Cheng's attention and secretly hiding the information that was revealed.
