Old Movies of the Republic of China II

Liu Meng used to be crazy, but that doesn't mean he was a fool.

There was a thief around him, how could he really have no idea who it was?He just didn't want others to know that someone had stolen the secrets of the Ministry of Finance through him, but he had to leave a way out for himself.

Qinghe met Liu Meng again five days later.

"Your guess is correct," Qinghe put a brown paper bag on the table, "it's Fangran."

Liu Meng turned pale, took a look at the photos and papers in the paper bag and put them back, leaned back on the backrest, and said with a wry smile, "I really don't want to be him."

If even Fangran betrayed him, how many people around him can be trusted?

"...Since when did he get involved with those people?"

Qinghe paused, and said: "It's been more than two years, when the young master brought him back from the Japanese, he already had two minds."

Liu Meng wiped his face, and his expression became stern: "Since he dared to do such a thing, he can't blame me for disregarding the original affection."

"Leave the person to me, maybe, I can ask some interesting things."

Liu Meng looked at him in surprise: "You?"

Qinghe said indifferently: "My young master left me a few people who are good at this way. With them, no matter what Fangran knows, she has to spit it out."

Liu Meng shuddered, in this case, he wouldn't feel anything when he heard it from other people, but this Qing He who has been obediently following the young man in front of him, he is as soft as a rabbit, why suddenly Can you say in such an understatement that you want to hand over someone to him for torture?

"Qinghe, you know, Fangran used to... hey, anyway, brother, I beg you, you can do anything by torture, but don't let people do that kind of thing to him. He took a long time to slow down before. Come back, he's probably going crazy."

Qing He looked up at him: "You are in love."

"It's not my love," Liu Meng sighed, "At least I've been with me for so long, no matter what he's planning, this is the last thing I can do for him."

Qing He said: "Young Master Liu, since you said that, why don't you just watch?"

Liu Meng was stunned for a long time before saying, "Okay."

Fangran felt something was wrong when she went out.

Liu Meng didn't come to his place very much recently, and most of the time he didn't come until ten or eleven o'clock, staying overnight and going to work the next day.And instead of putting the briefcase aside casually as before, he didn't bring the documents at all.

He felt that Liu Meng must have known, but he couldn't help feeling lucky in his heart.

Liu Meng clasped his shoulders and led him into the car.

Fangran's heart skipped a beat, this is not the car that Liu Meng usually rides in.

"A League, where are you taking me?" He asked softly.

Liu Meng glanced at him calmly and said, "You will know when you arrive."

Fangran stopped talking, fidgeting and looking at the crowds and buildings that kept turning backwards outside the car window.He knew that he would not have a good result, but sooner or later.

The car turned around and turned into a small alley. The driver got out of the car, opened the door, and said, "Mr. Fangran, please."

Fangran pretended to be calm and looked at Liu Meng: "A League?"

Liu Meng got off the car from the other side, and he had no choice but to go down. Liu Meng stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the inconspicuous wooden door slowly opened. Liu Meng looked back at him and said, "Come here."

Qinghe was already waiting in the room.

He felt strange at the moment.He also knew all about what happened back then. If it weren't for Fangran, Zhang Zheng might not have gone to Tianjin. Of course, there would be no such things later, and there would be no Qinghe today.

Speaking of which, he even wanted to thank Fangran.

"Qing He, I brought him here."

After Liu Meng said this, he turned his head and sat on the other side, not looking at Fangran anymore.

Fangran's voice was muffled in his throat, and he tremblingly called Liu Meng's name in disbelief, but there was no response.

"Mr. Fangran, I have admired your name for a long time," Qing He motioned, "Please sit down."

Apart from Qing He and Liu Meng, there was also a short man in the main room. He stood in the corner, looking very gloomy.Fangran noticed that a dark red whip was wrapped around his hand.

Fangran didn't sit down.

Qing He didn't care, and said: "My friend accidentally took a few photos, you can take a look."

He picked up a kraft paper bag from the table and handed it to Fangran.Fangran took it with trembling hands. He had a premonition of what these "photos" were about. He only opened them for a glance, then held the paper bag in his hand, and said softly, "Ah League, these are because I'm sorry for you...Actually , I didn’t want to do it later, but I couldn’t help it, they threatened me that if I didn’t do it, they would tell you those things.”

Liu Meng didn't speak or look at him.

"Arab League?"

Qing He said: "Who are they?"

Fangran looked away from Liu Meng and said, "To be honest, I don't know very well. There is only one person who contacted me...the one you saw in the photo."

Fangran was embarrassed.

He couldn't help but said: "Ameng, you must believe me. I used to be obsessed with ghosts. After I woke up, I never told them about you. What I said is true."

Liu Meng didn't look at him.

Knowing that Fangran is really the ghost, Liu Meng's mood is very low.After two or three years by your side, even cats and dogs can develop feelings, let alone a living person?But he misjudged the person, and he had to bear the price.

"What did you tell him?"

Fangran bit her lip, and said: "Before the abolition of the 'Feng Xiao Yang Piao' standard, and the promulgation of the "Regulations on Collecting Private Subsidies of Counties", and then there are some personnel changes in the Finance Department. Besides, what else? It's all gone."

The implementation of a policy requires multiple considerations, and it cannot be achieved overnight.Before the reform came, there were endless debates about it in the Ministry of Finance, and a "statute" was finally drafted after a fight between many people.Being able to get this information in advance will bring great benefits to those who are interested, Liu Meng feels scalp numb just thinking about it.

Liu Meng looked at him coldly: "Think carefully, don't miss anything."

He rarely spoke to Fangran in such an impatient tone, and Fangran's eyes turned red all of a sudden.

"It's really gone, I don't want to hurt you."

Back then when he came out of Yamada's house, he was really obsessed with that man, but Lu Yao knew that Ma Ma could see people's hearts over time, and it took him a long time to know who was really good to him.

Seeing that Qing He didn't speak, Liu Meng gritted his teeth, suppressed his anger and pulled out a photo from the leather bag, holding it in front of Fang Ran, "What is this man's background?"

In the photo, a man was stroking Fangran's cheek.

Fangran reached out and grabbed Liu Meng's wrist: "Ameng, you believe me, I really have no choice."

Liu Meng didn't want to hear his explanation: "Tell me who he is."

Fangran's hand was roughly waved away, and he said sadly: "...he is a member of the right party."

Right Party?

Liu Meng and Qinghe looked at each other in blank dismay, neither of them expected this answer.

"What you said is true?" Liu Meng asked suspiciously, "Why did the right party come here?"

Qinghe pondered for a while, and said: "Fangran, since you are forced to do so, I am willing to give you a chance to redeem yourself."

Fangran's eyes lit up, and some blood color finally appeared on her pale face: "Really?"

Liu Meng wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.To be honest, speaking rationally, he wished Fangran could die here.But who can stay sane all the time?It's not a machine.

Qinghe said: "Brother Liu, take Fangran back first, I will formally invite him to sit down at that time. Fangran, if someone asks about what happened today, do you know what to say?"

Fangran nodded quickly.

"You go out first, I still have something to say to Qing He."

Liu Meng's tone was not good, Fang Ran lowered her head and left without saying a word.

"Qinghe, today's matter... Cough, I don't know what to say. I thought it was him a long time ago, but I didn't want to believe it all the time. I kept lying to my ears, and it wasn't until today that you pointed it out."

Qinghe smiled.

"Then...you don't intend to pursue him?"

"Actually, it's not a serious matter. There are always people with clear eyes and eyes who know the news earlier. It's not Fangran who will always be someone else. Besides, the reform of the votes has been successful and the financial market has stabilized. As for other things, there is no need to worry so much .”

He spoke calmly, but Liu Meng's forehead was covered with cold sweat.

Liu Meng didn't believe that Qinghe didn't know the seriousness of this matter. If it was another person, he might have to use internal and external enemies to punish him as well.There must be a reason for Qing He to reassure Mrs. Dashuai, and it must have a purpose for letting him go.

This was originally his bet, after all, Qinghe still doesn't have many reliable people available, so he will definitely not miss him.But for some reason, Liu Meng felt that he had regarded this person too simply, and the road was far from smooth as imagined.

However, Liu Meng gritted his teeth, does he have any other choice now?

Qinghe said again: "Besides, brother Liu, you pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and I can't ignore your face."

Where is my face so big?Liu Meng thought to himself, if you really planned to look at my face at the beginning, what happened to the person with the whip behind?

"Cough, that's the problem with me. I tend to soften my heart when I see someone who is a little more beautiful. Qing He, please don't laugh at brother." Liu Meng laughed awkwardly.

"This is Dadong, and he will come to protect Fangran in the future, of course, for you." Qinghe said: "Dadong, you must remember who Fangran met and what she said."

The stocky man with a whip said in a muffled voice, "Don't worry, Master Ziran."

Liu Meng sighed, and said, "Qinghe, brother knew that the eldest and youngest valued you, but he didn't expect to be here today. Anyway, no matter what happens in the future, just tell me."

He nodded and left.

Dadong bowed towards Qinghe, "Master Ziran, then shall I go?"

Qinghe said: "Be careful in everything. I really want to know if what he said is true, and if the person standing behind him is a rightist."

"Don't worry, I will do my best."
