troubled times reckless

The next morning, I was sent back to the Peace Hotel by a car from the Luo Mansion.

The morning light was dazzling, and I walked quickly into the darkness.

After a night of cold wind, the back of my head seemed to be filled with lead. I was waiting for the hotel waiter to open the door for me with downcast eyes, when I saw Yue Weiren walking towards me with a few adjutants.

Yue Weiren didn't even look at me, and walked right past me.

I greeted casually: "Brother Yue."

He stopped in his tracks, turned around, and his eyes were cold: "Mr. Liang still remembers me, it's just the word 'Brother Yue', so I don't dare to take it."

I frowned: "What are you talking about? Come into the room and have a cup of tea, let's talk."

"Mr. Liang and I have nothing to talk about."

I took his arm and dragged me into the room, closing the door behind him.

He didn't struggle at all, just looked at me quietly: "So you and Luo Wu have known each other for a long time, how much money did he give you? What conditions did you agree to him? Continue to let him go whoring, gambling and drugs? What deal did you make? ?”

"Where did you go, that's not it."

Yue Weiren's face darkened in an instant, and he raised his foot and kicked me in the stomach with the wind. I hurriedly dodged sideways and looked at him in surprise.

"Isn't that so?"

He approached step by step, stretched out his hand and pointed at me viciously: "Could it really be rumored outside? You..."

"What's wrong with me?"

Yue Weiren looked ashamed and angry: "You...people say you...then Luo Wucai..."

I understood and fell silent.

It was obviously just a one-night event, but I didn't expect it to spread so quickly.

"You are talking!"

I sneered: "You think I'm not good, right?"

Yue Weiren twisted the corners of his mouth with a distorted face: "Then why did they donate money and officials to you for no reason to open up relationships?"

I looked at him, and said lightly: "You also know, in fact, Liang Zhiyuan is mine..."

"Liang Zhiyuan? He's a peacemaker, and he doesn't even have military power! It's this political guy who can count on his words besides his seniority?! He used to use you as a gunman before. Don't fool me!"

While tugging with him, the button of the neckline burst out, exposing a part of the collarbone.

Yue Weiren's face froze, and he quickly opened the skirt of my shirt.

I sighed, on my chest was the mark left by my elder brother yesterday.

He opened his mouth and looked at me with disbelief: "Liang Hao... I thought... you were just greedy for money, and you traded with Luo Wuquan for money... I didn't expect... I didn't expect the rumors to be true... You just want to buy money for a The officer of the commander of the Garrison in Shanghai! You..."

Pushing him away, I closed my front shirt.

"Brother Yue, I can't explain this for a while."

"Can't explain it clearly? You have a ghost in your heart! Why don't you say it? As long as you say it, I will believe it!"

"I can't tell."

Yue Weiren closed his eyes, then opened them again: "Okay..."

He stood in front of the door, showing a lonely back to me: "When you were fighting against the Japanese, did you think of today?"

"……what?"

"Back when you fought against the Japanese, you were not afraid of death, but today you did such a mediocre thing. I don't understand how you think."

"..."

"In the past, some people said that you were born with a bad background, and I never worried about it. If you are capable of revolution, what does it matter if you have a bad background? But today I doubt it..."

"..."

"Your mother is good, why don't you?"

Looking at the empty door, I took the shirt and coat from the closet, put them on, and went out by myself to the rooftop.

I still remember when I was very young, the house was dark and gloomy, and I liked to stand outside the hall door and watch the sky.

On the high part of the roof, there are many communication machines, with signs saying "no entry", covered with barbed wire, I jumped over it lightly.

Walk to the end of the terrace, sit on the edge, and swing your feet in the air.

I raised my face and looked at the blue sky like a teenager.

I don't know how long I sat there, but suddenly there was a rustling sound behind me.

I turned around, but the field of vision was still empty, only the "No Entry" iron sign was shaking slightly.

"Who?"

No one answered.

Only the wind is left.

I turned over and got off the terrace, and walked towards the dense barbed wire.

But I saw a pair of light footprints on the dusty ground.

I searched around suspiciously, but there was still no one.

Looking up at the transmitting antennas set up above, among the neat rows of German-made ones, there is one hidden aside, with tiny words that were intentionally scratched and blurred on it, which made me widen my eyes...

I checked the surroundings carefully again, and there were many traces left by that person, probably not the first time, but I still couldn't see the clue.

After thinking about it, he took the elevator downstairs, walked to Yue Weiren's room step by step, and knocked on the door.

When Yue Weiren opened the door and saw it was me, he turned his face away and tried to close the door. I stuck my foot in: "On the roof, there is a strange antenna. It was made in Japan, and it was scratched on purpose."

Yue Weiren's eyes widened, he didn't even have time to put on his clothes, he pushed me away and was about to rush up the elevator, then turned around and called me on the way: "Go to the front desk and call!"

"..."

"The phone number of the Military Command Shanghai Station, hurry up!"

Soon, the secret agents arrived with their equipment. Yue Weiren stood on the roof, facing a cloud of dust, leaving only a round shape and many empty footprints. He turned to us and said, "It has been removed."

Yue Weiren put his hands in his trouser pockets, walked downstairs, turned around and said, "Let's go, let's leave it to the professionals, we'll go back and write the report."

"Ah."

Walking down the corridor with him, I stood on a high place and said to his back: "...you don't doubt me?"

Yue Weiren kicked away a stone under his feet: "If you are really with the Japanese, I will destroy you now."

"I'm not."

"I know." He turned around and looked up: "Although you are shameless, you can also tell the difference between right and wrong. Besides, you used to be like this. When you are in a bad mood, you like to look at the sky."

"Brother Yue knows me." I smiled.

"Mr. Liang, don't shout like that." He narrowed his eyes: "It's still the same sentence, as long as you hang out with Luo Wu for a day, our friends will have nothing to do. One day you cut off your robes with him, and come again Find me."

Sunlight leaked from the roof, forming a bright light in front of the feet.

When Yue Weiren got out of the elevator, an adjutant was already waiting in the corridor to open the door for him.

As soon as he walked into the door, he ran into a place with Wang Quan who was rushing out from inside, and was knocked down.

Wang Quan hurriedly took a step back, Yue Weiren raised his eyebrows, and reprimanded him while adjusting his clothes: "You don't even care about walking, what else can you do well!"

Wang Quan stood alone in the corridor, waiting respectfully for Yue Weiren to close the door, turned around and left without even looking at me.

I followed a few steps and walked out of the restaurant.

At the entrance of a teahouse on the street, he stopped, turned his head and said impatiently: "How long are you going to follow?"

I hooked my lips slightly: "Where are you going? I'll accompany you."

He walked into the teahouse and took a seat, spread his legs and looked disrespectful: "You are too strict..."

I also pulled up the chair and sat down opposite him with my legs crossed, and he turned his head and looked out the window.

Staring at the face in front of me, I saw the sun shining on it, and the scars that were once deep are now gradually fading away.It was only then that he realized that even his clothes had become much more westernized, and he had a completely new look unlike before when he was nesting in the mountains.

"I know where you're going..."

He glanced at me.

Reaching out to caress the back of his hand on the table, he retracted without a trace: "You never finish."

"Don't go that way, it's not easy to go, and it won't work."

He just took me straight in the eye.

I smiled inadvertently: "Murdering Shangfeng is a felony, and the court-martial does not need any evidence to convict you. It is just a matter of my testimony."

His face was slightly stiff: "What are you talking about?"

I held his hand again, but this time he didn't move, stood up, and I leaned into his ear: "But... just because of the relationship between the two of us, I can't drive you to a dead end, you say Yes or no?"

His Adam's apple moved up and down, I let him go, straightened up, and patted his shoulder: "Come with me to have a meal."

After that, I walked to the door.

----

Arriving at a well-decorated restaurant, he asked for a private room, first ordered some dishes, and then ordered red wine. He smoked a cigarette with a gloomy expression: "Order so much? You eat pig food, and the wine you drink is also strange."

I smiled: "I haven't eaten anything from last night to today."

As soon as the dishes came, I cleaned them up in a flurry of wind and clouds. Seeing him standing there with a bowl in his hand, I added more dishes.

I was already full, so I poured the wine myself and watched him while drinking. He stared intently at the dish, and narrowed his eyes slightly when he put it in his mouth, as if he was enjoying it.

He chewed slowly as I leaned over from the other side of the couch to kiss his face.

He stepped back, didn't dodge, and let me kiss him.

"Why are you eating so slowly?" I laughed.

"I've eaten it before."

"Then you still eat?"

He continued to chew the food in his mouth: "There are so many good dishes, don't waste them. Besides, you are begging for nothing and insist on buying me to eat?"

"Then let's book another room upstairs."

"It's okay to eat, but not to roll the sheets."

"why?"

He snorted, rolled the napkin into a ball, and wiped his mouth like a rag: "Why, do you think I'm really afraid of you! I come and go, I'm not just a man, what can the surnamed Yue do? Can you catch me to the ends of the earth?"

He raised his eyes and looked at me: "Speaking of which, the poor Yue is still worried that you will be wiped out. His vision of people is really not very good."

I raise my eyebrows.

He had a clear and disdainful look: "If you are really afraid of what the outside world will say, then don't do this kind of thing as soon as possible. Why, now that you have finished doing it, and you have gained benefits, you will feel uncomfortable after being said a few words Cool, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world?"

I was stunned when I heard this: "Why do you say that?"

He snorted: "I don't know you yet? With your temperament, don't say that Luo is an opium seller, even the king of heaven, if you really want to tease you, you have to kill him, right?"

I raised the corner of my mouth: "Yes."

He got up, put on his coat and was about to leave. I sat on the chair and watched him. When he passed me, I reached out and touched his legs.

"what?"

I raised my face and said with a smile: "Search and search, I see if you have a gun."

He snorted and patted his crotch: "I brought a gun, and I didn't shoot it at you."

"I know, you hate me."

Grabbing his wrist, trying to pull him into his arms, but he stood still: "Let go, don't force me to do it."

"Why, you don't miss me at all?"

At this moment, a servant knocked on the door suddenly, Wang Quan pulled my hand away and shouted loudly: "Come in."

Open the door, a light floral fragrance wafts into the nostrils.

The waiter held a bunch of broken cherry blossom branches and put them in front of me: "This is given to you by a gentleman in the hall."

I was taken aback.

"what is his name?"

"The gentleman said, you'll know it when you see this bouquet."

The waiter withdrew and closed the door. I opened the fresh paper wrapped in a flower stalk, but saw a shiny bullet rolling out of it.
