[Lou Li the Pretender] Orphan Note

In the Shanghai International Settlement, turn a corner at the intersection of Jiangxi Road and Fuzhou Road, and you will arrive at the main entrance of the Capital Hotel.

Although the investor of the Capital Hotel is a British-funded company and a foreign firm, the Ming family also took a stake. It is even rumored that the young master of the Ming family also participated in the hotel’s exterior design—the allegorical decoration or pattern-like relief actively responded to the French The fashionable Art Deco movement is the proof of Minglou's personal participation in the design.

Yu Manli remembered that she asked Minglou before, how could he understand architectural design even if he was a student of economics, Minglou just laughed, but it was easier than your embroidery, they just drew a picture and they used it, and they gave me the design fee for the extravagant boasting, Why not do it.

Yu Manli didn't take it seriously at the time, but after reading it now, she realized how unreliable Minglou's words were.

The style of the building is gorgeous but avoids exaggeration, trendy yet introverted. Even if it is compared with many carved railings and paintings in Shanghai, this one is not shy.

There were lots of cars and horses outside the hotel, and it gradually became bustling with wedding guests. Mingtai was quickly invited to welcome and see off, while Yu Manli was invited to a private room to rest. Before she could sit down, someone knocked on the door Come in, "Miss Yu, please come with me."

Yu Manli saw the person wearing the No. 76 uniform, so she asked with a smile, "Director Wang has been waiting for me for a long time, hasn't he?"

The visitor lowered his head, "Director Wang and Director Ming are staying together. It is the section chief who invited you over."

Yoko Nantian?

She smiled, "Excuse me, I suddenly want to use the bathroom, can you wait for me for a while?"

The visitor wanted to refuse, but Yu Manli took off a men's precision quartz watch from her wrist, stuffed it over, and said in a low voice, "A little heart, just for cigarette money."

The workmanship of the watch is extremely elegant and exquisite, and it looks like an imported product - the person who came took it, but still urged, "Then Miss Yu, please move faster."

After a while, Yu Manli came out of the bathroom with even more gorgeous makeup. She was originally wearing an apricot-yellow camel hair gown, but her face became fairer after embellishments. Her eyes looked bright and smiled, "Let's go!" ?”

It turned out that it was to touch up the makeup, and the spy was relieved.

The room was located in the lounge of the ballroom on the second floor.

At this time, all the guests gathered in the dining room on the first floor and the chess and card area on the third floor, so it was very deserted here.

The person who brought her left quickly, and Yu Manli stood outside the door to collect herself, wondering if the members of the Ming family would immediately find out that she was not in the box.Thinking about it, I feel wrong, Minglou is with Wang Manchun, Mingtai is the bridegroom today, and now this unknown trap can only be faced by himself.

Pushing the door open, Yu Manli yelled, "Sect Leader Nantian?"

No one responded, she looked around the room and gently closed the door.

Suddenly felt a scorching breath on the back of her neck—someone—she just wanted to react, but it was too late—an arm was grabbed by the opponent and folded behind her back, and the person's back pressed against her, even reaching the firmness of her lower abdomen｜ quite.

Her heart sank, bad, she was calculated.

"Beauty さん, Suzhi に Move しないで..." (Little beauty, please stay still.)

An old and greasy male voice came, speaking in Japanese, how could there be Japanese here, or in a restaurant reserved by the Ming family?

Unless - he is a member of the puppet government, or simply put, someone sent by Yoko Nantian.

How dare Yoko Nantian let people do this casually?She still didn't dare to offend Minglou.

She went through it in her mind - she suddenly realized that maybe it wasn't the person sent by Nantian at all, it was Wang Manchun!

She sneered, but the person behind her had already touched her skirt, biting her earlobe with her lips - she felt sick for a while, and suddenly thought that when she was 15 years old, she was forced to receive guests, and the people who were pressing on her were so impatient.

She was very obedient, she actually leaned over slightly, and the other party felt her index finger moving, and whispered in her ear, "Secret ああなたがこれを行うことで, 很に优れていることを闻きました..." (I listen Say you're good at this...)

He had already lifted up her cheongsam and began to untie her waistband, but Yu Manli suddenly turned her face and hooked his neck with a smile, "私はこの一种类で良いじゃありませんよ." (I'm good at it. Not this one.)

She pressed against the old man's chest, and slowly moved her hand down—her soft and boneless waist was like a rope wrapped around the man's body—he subconsciously swallowed——Suddenly, Yu Manli lifted the cheongsam, Pulling the gun out of the thigh bandage - loaded in the bathroom - the man quickly collapsed to the ground.

Yu Manli blew a puff of smoke from the muzzle of the gun, thankfully Minglou had equipped herself with a silencer gun, and hid it on the ceiling of the bathroom ahead of time.

Now that I think about it, it was a seamless plan.

She quickly checked the body, and found that this person had a vain face and scars behind his ears, but it was Kenji Matsui, the head of the Operation Department of the Japanese Far East Region, whom she wanted to get rid of as "Sapphire" on this trip.

Strange - such a coincidence?She was brought here just in time to meet her mission target?

She only felt that it was faintly weird, and she couldn't tell—it was too smooth, so she had to go back to her memory to find out unusual hints.

However, he still has to go back to attend the wedding quickly, create an alibi -- and even dispose of the corpse. Once found here, Mingtai's wedding will definitely be ruined.

Although Minglou had reminded her before that the task was completed and she would leave immediately—but she hesitated, not for any other reason, but suddenly thought of the unconcealable smile in Mingtai's eyes when he saw Cheng Jinyun.

And Ming Jing, she stood beside her with her mouth covered, tears welling up in her eyes.

How could it be so ruined?

She stood up and suddenly had an idea.

In the private room, Wang Manchun was flipping through a suit book boredly, drifting towards the person standing at the door from time to time, and finally couldn't help asking, "Aren't you tired from standing all the time?"

Ah Cheng smiled, "Can I sit?"

Wang Manchun snorted, "There are so many seats, as long as you don't block the door."

Ah Cheng chose the seat opposite her and sat down, "Director Wang will also watch Zhang Henshui?"

He was referring to the book "The Family of Gold Powder" in Wang Manchun's hand.

"Today is a wedding in the style of a rich family." Wang Manchun turned a page.

Ah Cheng noticed that the gauze on her hand was removed, and asked, "Director Wang, do your hands still hurt?"

Wang Manchun's eyes stopped on a line of words, and he paused, "It's nothing serious, thank you."

She seemed to intend to destroy the friendly atmosphere, "Why has my senior brother been away for so long, the people who came together obviously can't even see a shadow now."

Ah Cheng stood up and poured tea for her, "Brother has gone to entertain guests, it may be difficult to get out for a while."

Wang Manchun sneered, "Didn't you go to find your little lover?"

The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was interested. Ah Cheng gently put down the kettle and glanced at her.

But Wang Manchun looked at him coldly, as if waiting for an answer.

A Cheng understands this expression too well.

How should I put it, when a person has been your childhood sweetheart since childhood, but never pays attention to you, you pay special attention to this person.

He paid attention to the fact that even a slight frown of her eyebrows made him aware.

Although Ah Cheng never judged by his expression alone, but at this moment he was convinced - Wang Manchun didn't know Yu Manli's real identity yet.

He breathed a sigh of relief, and handed her tea, "Director Wang, you like to drink ice, I'll go get ice cubes."

He had just reached the door when Wang Manchun's voice came, "Stop."

He was startled, and looked back at her. She felt a little wronged in her displeasure, "You are right here, I know you are going to find my senior brother, hmph... you just stay here with me."

Ah Cheng felt a little embarrassed, "Director Wang, this is not good."

"What's wrong? It's not the first day you know me." "What I mean is... If the eldest brother comes back and sees us alone in the room, he will be upset."

He meant something, and Wang Manchun blushed all of a sudden.

She coughed lightly, "Hurry up and come back, it's fine if you don't have any ice cubes."

Ah Cheng nodded.

As soon as Ah Cheng left, someone immediately walked in the door.

Wang Manchun's eyes turned cold, and he put down the book slowly, "Is Yu Manli gone?"

The visitor nodded and took out a men's watch, but it was an authentic German product.

Wang Manchun clenched it in his hand, and the corner of his mouth slightly raised as he clenched it tightly, "Heh... no matter whether Matsui Kenji lives or dies, Yu Manli will not escape this time."

Ming family brothers, no one likes to use things that others have used.

If Yu Manli dared to resist, then Wang Manchun could frame Yu Manli as a communist party; if she did not resist, Matsui Kenji was a famous sadist.

At this moment, Cheng Jinyun is standing beside Mingtai, accepting blessings from people from all walks of life together with him, the spotlights of several specially invited reporters are ingeniously framing the scene, and she must be beautiful and graceful in tomorrow's newspapers.

Cheng Jinyun strictly abides by the rules of a famous lady, she smiles without showing her teeth, and cannot walk in her skirt. Today, everyone is watching her. Although she is a concubine, she must not lose her demeanor and become a laughing stock. When encountering any small situation, she will try her best to keep silent. Let Ming Jing and other deacons help to deal with it.

As the groom, Mingtai is more silent than her.

He was so absent-minded that even Cheng Jinyun noticed it.

She approached Mingtai quietly, and patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, what is the groom thinking?"

Mingtai turned his head and saw that she was wearing an expensive wedding dress, with pearl buttons on her earrings, her face was peachy and snowy, and her white and slender arms were placed on her own - she looked a little worried.

"It's okay...it's just that I haven't seen my eldest brother for half a day, so I feel a little flustered."

He didn't mind being vulnerable in front of her.

Cheng Jinyun suddenly felt relieved, in his heart, he was special after all.

"I saw Wang Manchun just now, I guess the eldest brother should accompany her, don't ask me any more." She whispered, and squeezed his arm comfortingly, before turning to greet others.

Mingtai knew she was right, but—he still had a strange premonition—because he didn't even see Yu Manli.

After all, she is the prospective eldest mistress of the Ming family, so she won't be hiding in the box and growing grass all the time!

hide.When this word came out, Mingtai felt a pain in his heart.

All her life, Yu Manli had to "hide" all the time.

Hide from the gun, hide from the Japanese, hide from fate, and hide from what you really want in your heart.

She never had a chance to think for herself.

Now he is married, but she still has to worry about the unclear relationship between Wang Manchun and Minglou, and puts herself like a vase.

He hesitated, and finally decided to go upstairs to have a look.

At this moment——Mingtai heard a gunshot, and the sound was so loud that everyone in the hotel could hear it. He looked up——it was the ballroom on the second floor that made the movement.
