Crow of the Pretender

In the attic, only one lamp was turned on, and a few sheets of paper were spread out on the desk in front of the window.

Bo Ning sat alone, his eyes stayed on the pile of papers on the desk, his expression gradually changed from surprise and a hint of surprise at first to dignified and silent, a long silence, as if a person could keep silent like this forever.

The wind outside the window blows the branches and hits the glass, which also interrupts Park Ning's silence.Why is he silent here?

It's just because of the pile of papers on the table that he hasn't taken his eyes off for a long time. Those papers are the information that Bo Ning obtained through the black market investigation of the Ming family.

On the top of the written material is a photo, which has turned yellow, and it can be seen that it has been a long time.

In the photo is a family of five, a man in his 30s, with handsome eyebrows and starry eyes, a gentle and beautiful woman, holding a baby who looks only one year old in her hand, and a 15-year-old boy standing on both sides The girl was an eight-year-old boy.

This is a photo of the Ming family 20 years ago. The man in the photo is Ming Zhendong, the head of the Ming family, and the woman is Mrs. Ming and Qin Rui. The two children are Ming Jing and Ming Lou when they were young.

Bo Ning picked up the photo and stroked the gentle and beautiful woman in the photo with his fingers. Looking carefully, it is not difficult to find that the woman looks very similar to Bo Ning.No, to be precise, Bo Ning looks like that woman.

If so, the similarity in appearance can be said to be a coincidence.But the woman was still wearing a ring. Although it was impossible to see clearly in the photo, Bo Ning was sure that the ring was very similar to the ring on his neck through the rough shape, let alone the inside of the ring. Just a small word "Rui" engraved on it?

When Bo Ning saw the ring in the photo, he immediately checked it out.The ring on Qin Rui's hand was specially customized by Ming Zhendong, and there was only one ring in Shanghai.

Bo Ning found the shop where the ring was made, and also saw the original manuscript of the ring, which was exactly the same.

The similar appearance, the unique female ring, and the cliff that Qin Rui fell off according to the data is not far from the Shenjia Village in Boning's memory.

All these things add up, and with the vague intimacy with Ming Jing and the others before, Bo Ning can no longer say that all this is a coincidence, he is indeed the one from the Ming family who fell into the cliff with Mrs. Ming back then." Ming Ge, the third son of the Ming family with no bones left.

It stands to reason that he should be happy to find his family, but at this moment, Bo Ning is more worried than happy.

The "dead time plan" has not yet been clarified. The entire Shanghai station is likely to be chess on his teacher's chessboard, and even dead chess. Now that he knows that his family will also be imprisoned, how can Park Ning be happy? up?

Originally holding the heart of going to death, but suddenly knowing that his relatives are by his side, Bo Ning's heart will inevitably be shaken, should he tell Ming Lou about this?

But after saying it, is it possible that in the future, the problem of choosing Mingtai or choosing oneself should be handed over to Minglou?

Bo Ning is unwilling, the choice is about life, whether to choose a younger brother who has lived together for decades or a younger brother who has just met, if it is Bo Ning, he may choose the former.

Maybe, Bo Ning shouldn't think of Ming Lou like this, but he can't help himself.It sounds cruel, cruel, and even makes him feel like he would rather know nothing.

He reached out to touch the ring around his neck and remembered what was in the report: "Mrs. Ming and her second son were assassinated and fell off the cliff, leaving no bones left."

Since there are no bones left, how could he be picked up by uncles and aunts?That can only be one reason, the woman in the photo, his mother, tried her best to protect her child at that time, and maybe even exhausted her own hope of survival, took off the only ring that could prove her identity and put it in the himself.

Bo Ning thought of Ming Jing again, thinking that every time Ming Jing smiled at him, he seemed to miss another person through him.

Now Bo Ning knew that that person was himself.This eldest sister has never forgotten her little brother.

Thinking of this, Bo Ning clenched the ring in his hand and made a decision in his heart...

Ming Mansion...

The servants in the yard opened the gate of Ming Mansion, and Bo Ning's car drove in.

Today, Der Spiegel invited Bo Ning to his home as a guest.Originally, after he made the decision, he should have begun to distance himself from the Ming family.

But as soon as he heard Ming Jing's voice on the phone, Bo Ning's heart softened, and he told himself that this was the last time.

Bo Ning entered the mansion, Ming Jing saw him and smiled and said: "Xiao Bai is here, I made soup for you today, it's still early, you go to the third floor to find Ming Tai to play, he is in the room on the third floor. "

"Okay. I've been thinking about sister Ming Jing's soup! I can have an extra bowl of rice today." Bo Ning looked at his sister in front of him, his smile was much more genuine than before, and he sweetly coaxed Ming Jing to be happy.

Seeing Ming Jing happily went to the kitchen, Bo Ning went upstairs.Walking to the second floor, Bo Ning took a casual glance, and saw a woman dressed as a servant, holding something in her hand, standing in front of a room, acting quite sneakily.

Bo Ning frowned, turned his feet, and walked over there.

"Hello, where is Young Master Ming's room?"

The woman seemed startled by Bo Ning's sudden voice, and suddenly turned her head.

"Oh, young master Mingtai, his room is on the third floor." This woman is none other than Aunt Gui.

Bo Ning nodded: "Thank you, who are you?"

"Just call me Aunt Gui." Aunt Gui had a friendly smile on her face, "You are the young master Baimu that the eldest lady said?"

Aunt Gui?Bo Ning recalled that in those materials, it seemed that there was this name. She was brother Mingcheng's adoptive mother, and also a former servant of the Ming family.However, didn't it mean that he was driven away later?Why are you back again?

Bo Ning was suspicious, and he nodded lightly: "Yes. Aunt Gui, who were you just now?"

"Ah, I'm here to deliver some fruit to the young master and Ah Cheng."

Just as they were talking, the door in front of them opened.

"Aunt Gui?" Minglou seemed a little surprised when he saw Aunt Gui, and then saw Bo Ning next to him, "Cheng Yuan is here."

"Brother Minglou..."

"Master, I'll bring you some fruit." Aunt Gui said, raising the fruit plate in her hand.

Minglou glanced back at Mingcheng who was in the room, took the fruit and said, "Thank you, Aunt Gui, please give some to Mingtai as well."

"Hey, okay." Aunt Gui responded, cast a glance into the room, and walked away.

Bo Ning frowned as he watched Aunt Gui leave, and then turned around: "Who is this Aunt Gui?"

"Come in and talk about it." Ming Lou stepped back a few steps and let Bo Ning into the study.

In the study, Mingcheng is inside, looking not very well.

"Brother Mingcheng..."

Mingcheng saw that Bo Ning's face softened, and nodded at him.

"When I first came here, I saw Aunt Gui standing at the door of your study." Bo Ning said, "I remember she wasn't at Ming's house before? When did she come?"

"On New Year's Eve." Ming Lou frowned and said, "You said she was standing at the door of our study just now?"

"Yes, it looks a bit like listening to something." Parkin said, "Who is she? Have you investigated it?"

Naturally, Bo Ning couldn't show that he knew Aunt Gui's identity, in fact, he only briefly mentioned Aunt Gui's information.

Minglou glanced at Mingcheng.

Mingcheng said solemnly: "She is my adoptive mother."

Minglou briefly talked about the matter between Aunt Gui and Mingcheng.

"So, it was Sister Ming Jing who agreed to Aunt Gui's return?" Bai Ning frowned and said, "Haven't you ever thought about why she suddenly said she wanted to come back?"

Ming Lou looked at Bo Ning: "Do you suspect that Aunt Gui has a problem?"

"Just based on her behavior at the door of your study, I can't help but suspect her. Of course, I just suggest that you better find out what she did and where she went in the past few years."

"I know. But, in a few days, I will send her away." Minglou looked serious, and Aunt Gui's behavior made him suddenly think of a person, "Lone Wolf". The time when he appeared and the time when Aunt Gui came back Almost the same.

Bo Ning nodded, he understood that it was for Mingcheng.Such a poisonous woman really shouldn't hang around in front of Mingcheng, repeatedly stabbing him in the heart.

The three of them spoke a few more words, and Bo Ning left the study to find Mingtai.

After leaving the study room and reaching the stairs, Bo Ning met Aunt Gui who was holding a fruit plate, so Bo Ning stopped her: "Aunt Gui, give it to me. I'll just take it up, you can do your work."

Aunt Gui hesitated for a moment, and when she met Bo Ning's eyes, she couldn't help being startled, feeling as if she was about to be seen through by the young man in front of her, she blinked her eyes a few times, and replied: "Okay, okay. Then, please trouble Bai Master."

Bo Ning took the fruit plate with a smile, watched Aunt Gui go downstairs, until her figure completely disappeared on the stairs, then smiled, glanced at the fruit plate, and turned to go to the third floor.

In this room, Mingtai waited in the room for a long time, when Bo Ning came and knocked on the door, as soon as he opened the door, he pulled Bo Ning into the room.

"Brother, why did you come up?"

"Talked with Sister Mingjing for a while." Bo Ning said.

Mingtai has no doubts about him.

"Aunt Gui, be careful with her at home from now on."

Mingtai heard the words and said: "You also think she is strange?"

Bo Ning raised his eyebrows: "What? You found something wrong with her?"

"It's not a problem, but I heard that she is Brother Ah Cheng's adoptive mother. She was very bad to Brother Ah Cheng when she was a child. I don't like her. Besides, she has been away for so long, and I feel very uncomfortable when she comes back suddenly. normal."

"It turned out to be brother Mingcheng's adoptive mother. I thought Aunt Gui was your new servant, so I told you to be more vigilant."

Bo Ning said, "However, it's really abnormal for you to talk about her background like that. In short, be careful."

Mingtai nodded...

"In a few days, you will start working." Bo Ning stopped talking about Aunt Gui and changed the subject, "How many people are there on the list?"

Mingtai thought for a while: "There is still half of it, alas, our manpower is too small, if the poisonous spider team is still there..."

Speaking of the poisonous spider group, both were silent.After a long time, Bai Ning said: "There is news from above. After a while, Hangzhou City will send a group of new students to join the Operations Department instead of the poisonous spider."

"Really! That's great!" Mingtai's eyes lit up when he heard that.They're really understaffed right now.

It's just that Bo Ning is not so optimistic. Will the arrival of this group of newcomers be part of the death plan?

Today's meal was very warm, and Ming Lou looked at Bo Ning and felt that there was more sincerity and less alienation in his smile.

We have found clues about Baining Minglou. The location of Shenjia Village is very close to the cliff where his mother and younger brother had an accident.

The Shen couple also picked up Bo Ning exactly 18 years ago, and when the younger brother was two years old, his age was also right.

Up to now, whether it is appearance, age or other clues, they all point the identity of Bo Ning to his younger brother Ming Ge, even if he has not been able to.

Minglou looked at Bo Ning and Mingtai who were coaxing Mingjing to their lips, and made up his mind that he would protect these two younger brothers!

……

Inoue parameter had just finished his lunch and was walking on the street when a child ran towards him and bumped into Inoue Sanshu.

"Slow down, kid." Inoue Sanju said.

The child apologized and ran away quickly.

Inoue Sanju smiled, and was about to leave when suddenly his expression froze, he touched his pocket, and took out a candy. He opened the candy wrapper strangely, but inside was not candy, but a ball of paper.

He immediately put away the ball of paper and stuffed it back into his pocket, and left in a hurry.

The author has something to say:

Violent identity!Violent identity!

Minglou: The more he looks, the more he looks like my brother!protect him!protect him!

Bo Ning: I am a child of the Ming family!No, I have to protect them!

Mingtai: I am a worker!Working makes me happy!
