good night my sir

Ah Cheng saw that the person who came was actually Xiao Tong, and the unexpected development left him at a loss as to what to do.

Minglou reacted quickly, pressed down the gun in Ah Cheng's hand, saw that there was no one in the corridor, and quickly brought him and Tong Guangren into the wing.

Minglou closed the door and saw that the person standing in the wing room was Luo Fangxiong, and he understood in an instant.

"You are a grizzly bear." Minglou said.This is an affirmative sentence.

"So the cobra is you." Luo Fangxiong was a little surprised.He didn't expect that Chief Ming Lou, an important member of the new government, was actually one of them.

Seeing the reaction of the two bosses, Ah Cheng and Tong Guangren immediately understood.The two couldn't help but looked at each other and smiled. They never expected that they were not only good friends, but also had the same revolutionary feelings and such a profound relationship behind them.

"Everyone, sit down and talk." Minglou nodded, looking for seats.

Unexpectedly, just as he sat down, before he even started to say a word, he heard many footsteps coming from the corridor outside the door.

In the next second, the door of the wing room was knocked open, and a group of No. 76 personnel, each armed with guns, broke into the door.

Luo Fangxiong frowned, but Minglou seemed calm.

Personnel No. 76 entered, and when they saw their own officials, everyone suddenly looked at each other in blank dismay, and all stood there dumbfounded.

Wang Manchun was the last to come in as usual, with a murderous expression on her face, but when she entered the door and saw Minglou in the wing, her expression suddenly changed from fear to shock.

"Senior brother, you, why are you here?" Wang Manchun stared at him in disbelief with her beautiful eyes wide open.

"Why can't I be here?" Ming Lou glanced around at the intruders, pretending to be annoyed, "What are you doing? Get out of here."

Hearing this, no one on No. 76 dared to disobey Chief Ming's wishes, and hurriedly withdrew from the wing.

Only Wang Manchun stood where he was, and said righteously, "Brother, I didn't intend to interrupt your discussion, but this morning we intercepted a special channel, and the translating results revealed that it was a secret telegram dedicated to anti-Japanese elements. The bamboo wing room of Nishimatsu Hall......"

"You mean, I'm an anti-Japanese member?" Minglou raised his eyebrows, his deep voice mixed with displeasure.

"Brother, I didn't say that, I just..."

Before Wang Manchun could finish speaking, Ming Lou interrupted directly: "I'm here to discuss business with Boss Luo on behalf of Ming Enterprises. You have heard about the cooperation between Licha Restaurant and Ming Enterprises Bar?"

Wang Manchun glanced at Luo Fangxiong, his expression became hesitant.He pleaded: "Senior brother, can I take a step to speak?"

Ming Lou still looked angry, but he stood up and said to Luo Fangxiong: "Boss Luo, I am very sorry, Ming's subordinates are ignorant and surprised you, please allow me to talk to her for a while."

"Mr. Ming, please." Luo Fangxiong nodded and said.

Minglou and Wang Manchun walked to the corner of the wing. He changed his tone and whispered to Wang Manchun, "Manchun, I didn't mean to blame you. Why didn't you report to me when you intercepted the telegram, and you deployed such a large manpower without authorization?"

"Brother, that's because..." Wang Manchun looked embarrassed, and said, "I didn't catch the anti-Japanese elements in Sheshan last time, and I got shot in the shoulder. I felt very sad, so I want to take advantage of this Take the credit in one fell swoop and give you a surprise.”

"What exactly did you intercept?" Minglou worried that she might have clues to check, so he asked deliberately.

"That's what I just said..."

"Confirmed to change the appointment in the bamboo wing of the Xisong Guild in the afternoon? Just based on this sentence, you don't even know who is meeting who, so you make a big move to arrest them?" Ming Lou stared at her, and said: "The Bamboo Wing of the Xisong Guild It is probably just a code, because I have already booked here to discuss business, if you don’t believe me, you can ask the person in charge of the guild hall.”

"I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I believe in you, but I'm afraid that the Japanese will say that you are not actively mopping up the anti-Japanese elements..." Wang Manchun's attitude softened a little.

"I know you're doing my best, but look, how can I talk about business now? I can't even manage a subordinate unit well, so people will laugh at me for nothing." Minglou sighed, and said, "I won't follow You said it, I still have to apologize to Boss Luo, you can figure it out yourself.”

"Yes..." Wang Manchun lowered his head, with an expression of knowing his mistake.She walked back to the center of the room, bowed to Luo Fangxiong, and said, "Boss Luo, I'm sorry to bother you." Then she went out and closed the door behind them.

After Wang Manchun left, they were finally the only ones left in the room.

The four of them looked at each other, and they had just learned of each other's organizational identities, but they were surprised by No. 76 immediately.

"Brother Ming, I'm lucky to have you." Luo Fangxiong bowed his hands to thank him.

If Minglou were not present, Luo Fangxiong and Tong Guangren would have already been arrested as suspected anti-Japanese elements.

"It doesn't matter, I'm curious, why did you suddenly send a text message asking to meet?"

"I received a notice from my superiors and gave me a secret communication line, asking me to contact Cobra, and the sooner the better. I just didn't expect you to be in an important position in the new government, otherwise our telegram reply would be more circuitous. "Luo Fangxiong said.

"Sorry, this is all my responsibility." Tong Guangren said.

"It's okay, it's fine now." Ming Lou patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.

"Then, let me re-introduce myself, Luo Fangxiong, code-named Grizzly. I am responsible for the deployment and delivery of strategic materials, from weapons to money resources, and most of them are currently handled by me."

"Minglou, Cobra. In charge of latent work, the military command codenamed poisonous snake, the chief financial advisor of the new government, and the deputy director of the special committee." Minglou stretched out his hand to hold Luo Fangxiong.

The last time the two met was at the Spring Festival of the Shanghai Business Community, no one expected that when they met again, they would develop so amazingly.

"Tong Guangren, Mr. Luo's deputy, codenamed Eclipse."

"Ah! I often see this code name in the supply list, so it's you." Ah Cheng smiled, today's meeting was really unexpected.Then he said: "Mingcheng, Mr. Ming's adjutant, code-named Qingci. In charge of latent work, the communication contact person of the Shanghai Station of the Military Command, and the director of the Secretariat of the Economic Department of the new government."

The four got to know each other again, which was a major meeting.

In the past, there were few opportunities for them to meet across fields, let alone introduce themselves so openly and honestly.

They looked at each other and smiled. Although they hadn't started to cooperate yet, they already had some peace of mind.

Ming Lou and Luo Fangxiong had a private meeting in the bamboo room, while Ah Cheng and Tong Guangren stood outside the door.

They were relieved to see that the members of No. 76 downstairs had retreated, and only two or three people remained to monitor the Xisong Guild Hall.

Ming Lou and Luo Fangxiong were talking about business, and Ah Cheng also had many questions to ask Xiao Tong: "How did you join the organization? How did you follow Mr. Luo?"

"Actually, since I can remember, I have been a member of the Qing Gang with red thoughts." Tong Guangren looked into the distance, and his thoughts seemed to return to a very distant memory. "I call him Uncle Luo in private. In order to prevent outsiders from guessing about our relationship, I call him Mr. Luo outside."

Ah Cheng nodded, he especially understood the name change, because Xiao Tong's situation was exactly the same as his own.

He also called Ming Lou Mr. Ming outside, and only called him Big Brother in private.

But he was a little surprised when Xiao Tong said that he had been a member of the Green Gang since he was a child.He thought that Xiao Tong joined in later.

"Our Tong family descended from a family of Hunan embroidery. My father met Uncle Luo when he was young, and joined the Youth Gang with him. Later, the two joined the Communist Party together and went abroad to study. After returning to China, Uncle Luo returned to Shanghai as an agent. , continue to stay in the gang. My father is using his bank as a disguise, and is active in the Jiangnan area."

"Since your father is also a member of the organization, is what you said about the water bandits true or false?"

"The incident about the water bandits is true. My father was seriously injured in the August [-] incident. I took him to the north and fled. I was waiting for Uncle Luo to pick us up and return to Shanghai, but the water bandits murdered and robbed me. At that time, I couldn't resist. Surrounded by groups, I could only watch my father being hacked to death with knives. If Uncle Luo hadn’t arrived, I’m afraid even I would have been killed. It’s a pity that those people escaped, and there is still no way to avenge them.”

Talking about the past, Tong Guangren can see that he has not let go of this hatred in his heart, but it may be due to his personality. He has always been optimistic and cheerful, so when talking about this long-standing matter, his expression is only slightly melancholy.

He slowed down, and then said: "However, national hatred is much more important than family hatred. I believe in the cycle of heaven. These people will not last long in troubled times. Someone will definitely avenge my father."

Ah Cheng didn't know how to comfort Xiao Tong, but when he heard his self-comforting words, he patted him on the shoulder in admiration.

Before, I only thought that Xiao Tong had similar interests and could talk to me, but now I realized that under his glamorous appearance, there is also a sincere devotion to the country, even earlier than myself, the blood has already flowed. thought in red.

"You said your father participated in the [-] incident, so did he know Falcon?" Ah Cheng suddenly remembered that the Falcon that his elder brother cared about also became famous because of the [-] incident.

"Yes, he is my father's partner in life and death."

Hearing this, Ah Cheng was surprised and said, "Could it be that your father is Hai Dongqing?"

"Yes, that's his organization code name." Tong Guangren nodded.

"Then have you ever seen a falcon?"

"I only saw him once. When I was 17 years old, I didn't know his name, nor did I know all about his background. My father never mentioned him. I heard that after my father passed away, he also disappeared in It's all over."

"Unfortunately, when I first heard what you said, I thought I had found a clue about Falcon. But anyway, I already feel that God has treated us very well to meet you formally." Ah Cheng said with a smile.

"Why don't I think so? Fortunately, the cobra is you." Tong Guangren patted Ah Cheng on the shoulder and smiled.

========= I’m a nonsense divider ===========

Did you guess the right person in your bet yesterday?

Yes~ Grizzly finally made an appearance, and Costin was also introduced,

This scene is rare and serious~ For the sake of the following plot, some ins and outs still have to be explained, so please bear with me~ Meow meow meow

【Extra: White Valentine's Day】

In the afternoon, a sweet smell overflowed from the kitchen of the Ming Mansion, and the rich aroma of chocolate immediately permeated the home.Ming Tai, who has always had a sensitive nose, immediately came to the kitchen looking for scents, and found Ah Cheng standing in front of the fire, stirring a pot of things with a long spoon.

"Brother Ah Cheng, are you cooking chocolate?" Mingtai asked curiously.The pot looked inky black, but it smelled strongly of chocolate.

"That's right, I just learned a kind of dessert a few days ago, and I want to make it for everyone to try." Ah Cheng said while carefully paying attention to the fire.

Mingtai said "oh", as if thinking of something, Thief Xixi looked at Ah Cheng and said, "Brother Ah Cheng, why do I feel that things are not so simple? If I remember correctly, today is White Valentine's Day." ?" Hearing this, Ah-Cheng smiled slightly, but didn't answer directly, and said, "You just need to remember to have some snacks."

"Then I'll just wait for your craftsmanship! Don't worry, I won't tell my brother." Mingtai smiled ambiguously, and ran away in a hurry.

Not long after, the afternoon tea snacks from the Ming Mansion were served.

On the table was a pot of freshly boiled chocolate syrup, and a pot of ice cubed water.In addition, it is a plate of exquisite fruits, all cut into small pieces, such as apples, strawberries, peaches, melons, and oranges, all strung on long bamboo sticks.

"What is this? It looks very interesting." Ming Jing looked at the scene on the table and found it very interesting.

"Yes, this fruit is red, yellow, and green, and it looks very beautiful!" Ah Xiang exclaimed in surprise.

Minglou and Mingtai also came over, and everyone gathered around, wanting to know what kind of dessert it was.

Ah Cheng picked up a bunch of fruit and dipped the whole bunch into the chocolate syrup. When the fruit was covered with a layer of silky smooth chocolate, he quickly pulled it up and dipped it into the ice cube water.Take it out a few seconds later, the chocolate has hardened, attached to the surface of the fruit, and instantly becomes a chocolate fruit skewer.

"It's done, let's have a taste first!" Ah Cheng handed the dessert to Ming Jing.

"How can it be so magical?" Ming Jing exclaimed.After taking a bite, he looked happy and said, "The sour taste of the fruit combined with the slightly bitter sweetness of the chocolate is really delicious. I didn't expect there to be such a way."

"I'll try it too!" Mingtai impatiently made a chocolate fruit skewer according to Ah Cheng's method just now. "Hey! It's so fun, it can be made so easily, it's much more interesting than the snacks sold outside!"

"Ah Cheng, when did you learn it? You actually hid such a trick." Ming Lou looked at Ah Cheng, this ingenious person is always good at bringing him all kinds of unexpected surprises.

"Recently, we discussed a cooperation project with Licha Hotel. Their public relations manager is an Englishman. He happened to talk about desserts during the chat. He taught me how to do this, saying that they often have such desserts at banquets in their hometown." Ah Cheng said .

"That's good, I like it." Ming Jing nodded with a smile on his face.

The afternoon at the Ming mansion is accompanied by the aroma of chocolate and fruit, and it is spent in a harmonious and joyous sound.

At night, Ah Cheng came to Minglou's room, holding a small box in his hand, and handed it to Minglou on the sofa.

Minglou smiled, not seeming surprised, and said, "Are you doing this in the kitchen all afternoon?"

"It hasn't been opened yet, how would you know?"

"Making chocolate snacks for everyone on such a sensitive festival is like a cover-up."

"I really can't hide anything from my elder brother." Ah Cheng smiled lightly, the one who really knows others is Ruo Minglou, this person is always so shrewd to see everything.He asked again, "Aren't you going to take it apart and have a look?"

"No hurry, I have something for you." Minglou took out a small box from behind and handed it to Ah Cheng, saying, "Let's open the present together."

Ah Cheng was surprised, he didn't expect that his eldest brother, who was not very concerned about this kind of festival, would prepare a gift for him, and he felt warm in his heart.He took it with a smile, sat down beside Minglou, and the two of them opened the box in their hands together.

Ah Cheng saw that inside the box was a pair of delicate square cufflinks, inlaid with polished black stones. The curved surface reflected the light of the external environment, and looked as if it would shine from all angles.

"Brother, isn't this expensive?" Although Ah Cheng made a lot of money, he has always been thrifty in his purchases. Except for Minglou and Mingtai, he usually would not buy such good things himself.

"It's just a small thing. Obsidian from the Soviet Union. I wanted to buy it for you as soon as I saw it. It's black and bright, like your eyes." Minglou said with a smile, picked up the box in his hand, and asked, "Chocolate Why only five? I can’t bear to eat it.”

"This kind of chocolate production process is more troublesome. I am afraid of being found out, so I can only make a few secretly. You can eat it, and I can make it again when I have a chance."

When Ming Lou heard that the production process was troublesome, he became interested.He took one and popped it into his mouth, followed by a look of surprise on his face.

He pulled Ah Cheng over and brought his mouth together for a kiss.The rich chocolate melted bittersweetly in their mouths, accompanied by the full-bodied fruity aroma and wine taste of cherry brandy.

The chocolate quickly melted in their mouths, but the entangled lips and tongues were not so easy to separate.Ming Lou kissed the person in his arms, his heart was full of joy, why Ah Cheng always filled himself with happiness so easily?

After the kiss was over, he slowly backed away, but still hugged Ah Cheng tightly, and said, "Chocolate, I'm really surprised that you can do such a difficult thing."

"I heard from Xiao Tong that Charles is very good at making chocolate desserts, so I went to ask him for advice." Cheng smiled slightly and asked, "Do you like it, brother?"

"I like it very much." After Ming Lou finished speaking, he kissed him lightly on the lips. "Thank you, Cheng, happy Valentine's Day."

"Happy Valentine's Day." Ah Cheng responded with a gentle smile.

Minglou picked up another one, bit it in his mouth, and kissed it again.

Although there is no special celebration, but in such a festival, small surprises can make people feel happy.

In the sweet and sour liqueur chocolate, they tasted the best taste of love together.

Happy White Day.
