Pretenders are unattainable

Just when Manli closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep, with a trail of tears remaining at the corner of her eyes, Minglou's study room was still brightly lit.Mingcheng sat opposite him on the sofa, and the freshly brewed Huangshan Yunwu tea on the coffee table was steaming in the middle of the night.Because of the conversation with Manli before, Minglou slowly opened his mouth to Mingcheng: "Ah Cheng, I was wondering if I made a wrong decision before." Mingcheng raised his eyebrows, calmly He responded calmly: "Brother, if there is any problem with the previous arrangement and decision-making, we will try our best to recover it before causing losses." Minglou frowned, shook his head and said, "It's not a big problem, but we did it to get Mingtai out of the military order. , I once deliberately arranged for him to have frequent contact with Uncle Li's group, the original intention was to let him get in touch with the party's work more, and strive for his ideological change..." The matter involved Mingtai, Mingcheng couldn't help but get nervous, and hurriedly intervened. Yan: "What? Is there something wrong with Uncle Li's team?" Ming Lou pondered and said slowly: "Uncle Li and Doctor Su are both experienced underground workers who have been lurking for many years. I am not worried about them, but After talking with Yu Manli today, I am worried about Cheng Jinyun." Mingcheng was startled, and said in amazement: "Miss Cheng?" He randomly thought of the cooperation with this comrade in several missions, and thought of her rescue mission in the labor camp Disregarding the overall situation, the nervous hesitation during the anti-rape mission of the Japanese Army Hospital couldn't help but also fell silent.

Ming Lou narrated his worries and doubts: "Cheng Jinyun joined our party through Dr. Su. Young people, it is good to have a passion for serving the country, but when she joined the work, Shanghai had already fallen, and the KMT and the Communist Party were in the middle of the war. All operations in Shanghai were forced to go underground. Unlike Mingtai and Yu Manli, she had not received systematic training, and she joined the mission with enthusiasm and instinct. In such a complicated environment behind the enemy's rear, sometimes would lead to a fatal error."

Speaking of this, Minglou picked up the teacup on the coffee table, took a sip of hot tea slowly, covered the cup, and continued to analyze: "Actually, I had this situation as early as you reported to me about the rescue mission in the labor camp. I thought, this girl is not suitable for working in the enemy's rear battlefield. I once considered transferring her to Yan'an. However, what I didn't expect was that after such a few short contacts, Mingtai arranged a blind date with Dr. Su. agreed to be engaged to her..."

Hearing this, Mingcheng thought about a series of things that happened recently, thought about some details, and finally found a clue. He tentatively asked, "Brother, is it because of the renting incident on Scott Road?"

Minglou let out a long sigh, nodded and replied: "At that time, because your identity was in danger of being exposed, in the serial plan to assassinate Yoko Nantian and get rid of the traitors that we formulated out of desperation, we set the military command to be responsible for the assassination part, and Uncle Li was in charge. For the anti-rape part, my original intention was to let the two parties perform their duties and achieve mutual cooperation. But I didn't expect Cheng Jinyun to ask Mingtai to help her rent a house on Scott Road!"

Mingcheng immediately understood Minglou's worries, but he was puzzled and said: "But this incident was misunderstood. We used it as a clue to frame Mingtai at the beginning of the implementation of the Death Plan. It is also true that Wang Manchun noticed it during the torture. As expected, huh?"

Minglou's brows were almost twisted into a "Chuan" character: "This incident actually did not cause any bad consequences. Although Yu Manli didn't know Mingtai's intention of renting a house on Scott Road, she cleverly used it during the torture. 'Golden House Cangjiao' is a good reason to cover up the past. What I question is the nature of this incident. During the execution of the task, Cheng Jinyun disclosed the information of the task to uncertain people outside the organization. This is a serious violation of the organization. In principle!"

Mingcheng nodded in agreement: "Indeed, I am also worried about this comrade's ability to act and judge."

Minglou let out a long sigh: "What Secretary □□ said about 'Using all forces that can be united to resist Japan' is a theoretical guideline, and we need to be careful when carrying out tasks in the enemy's rear where loyalty and traitors are hard to distinguish. It may be possible to win allies, but at the same time it also greatly increases the risk of exposure. Mingtai had contact with her on cooperative missions, and his thinking was undergoing a great change, but his identity was still a military command agent at the time. Under the premise that both of them don't know each other's mission, this kind of help is actually just taking advantage of it."

Mingcheng asked hesitantly: "But, the two of them are already engaged...how is that good..."

Minglou got up and started pacing in the room, Mingcheng kept his mouth shut, and looked at his elder brother worriedly, Minglou slowly thought: "Mingtai is still too young, he may not even understand his feelings clearly, at least today he and his brother will be together. Judging from Manli's interaction, he has absolutely no feelings for Manli. When he came home from the blind date with Cheng Jinyun, he suddenly ran into the elder sister's room to go to sleep. I was skeptical about some of the reactions. Then he suddenly proposed to speed up the progress of his marriage with Cheng Jinyun. I was actually on the sidelines, but the eldest sister made it happen..."

Mingcheng interface: "Now that their relationship has been made public, if Cheng Jinyun is exposed during the mission, Mingtai will definitely be involved..."

Minglou still frowned: "I will explain to my eldest sister that the current situation is critical, and the matter of marriage should be slowed down as long as possible. It is not easy to carry out underground work in Shanghai now. The manpower and weapons we can mobilize are really limited. I will apply to Yan'an, and it is safer to transfer Cheng Jinyun to the rear to start work when looking for opportunities."

Speaking of this, Minglou paused slightly, glanced at his younger brother who had been silently following him, and continued: "It is imperative for Mingtai and Yu Manli to join the party organization, I want them to be on the same line as me." Contact, try to cut off their contact with Uncle Li's group, and when it is necessary to contact, it is still in the form of a KMT-CCP ​​cooperation task."

Mingcheng asked back in surprise: "Brother, do you want to reveal your identity in front of the two of them?"

Minglou walked up to Mingcheng, looked at his younger brother, assistant and comrade-in-arms who were already about the same size as him, and said in a low voice but firmly: "Only by maintaining one-line contact can their safety be guaranteed to the greatest extent. Ah Cheng, where were you back then? I don’t want to experience the tragedy where all members of the operation team sacrificed.”

Mingcheng's body shook for a moment, but he immediately stabilized his mind. He cast his trusting eyes on his eldest brother, his voice trembling but still calm: "Brother, you are the superior of the latent line of Shanghai's anti-Japanese work, I listen to you! No matter how many dangers there are in the future, no matter how much the price needs to be paid, I will always be there!"
