A few days ago, Peiping.
The sky is dark and the stars are lonely.
Gu Renshan, a senior official in Peking, handled the matter at the Six Nations Hotel today. After the matter was resolved, he was about to leave.
The promenade was quiet, with only a few people, and the sound was slight.
When Gu Renshan was walking on the promenade, a person came to meet him.
The man lowered his head slightly, as if he did not see the road clearly, he ran into Gu Renshan.
The man saw that he had hit someone and immediately apologized: "I'm sorry."
His tone was extremely sincere.
Gu Renshan's suit was slightly lifted, revealing a very shallow gap.
In a few seconds, it will close quickly. The corners of the clothes hang down, leaving no trace.
Gu Renshan didn't take this trivial matter to heart, he walked straight forward.
Walking out of the Six Nations Hotel, the night breeze blew over.
In early autumn, the night breeze engulfed a trace of coldness.
Walking to the car, Gu Renshan opened the door and sat in.
He straightened out his suit, did not look forward, and said, "Drive."
The driver did not respond, and the car still stopped in place.
The air in the car is extremely quiet.
Gu Renshan felt a little strange, he raised his head and stared at the central rearview mirror.
Then his eyes tightened.
The driver has changed.
Sitting in the driver's seat was a woman with a very strange face.
Her facial features are extremely beautiful, although they are well maintained, they can still be seen with a hint of vicissitudes.
Ji Manqing also looked in the rearview mirror and met Gu Renshan.
She looked extremely calm, with a sneer in her eyes.
Gu Renshan noticed something was wrong, and he immediately prepared to get out of the car.
He put his hand over and was about to pull the car door.
Gu Ren's eyes sank suddenly.
The door is locked.
He could no longer leave and was locked in the car.
Gu Renshan grabbed a panic and turned to look at Ji Manqing.
"Who are you?"
What is the purpose of this woman who came to find herself
Ji Manqing did not answer, she slammed on the gas pedal and the car drove straight ahead.
The car drove a little fast, the scene kept retreating, and the dark night quickly passed by.
Gu Renshan's face was calm, and his heart turned back and forth.
He had a faint hunch in his heart that it was definitely not a good thing for this woman to come to him.
He must think of a way to get rid of this woman.
Ji Manqing glanced at Gu Renshan and sneered.
She quickly retracted her gaze, and her gaze fell forward.
Gu Renshan made up his mind.
He stretched his hand to his waist and held the cold gun.
Gu Renshan leaned forward suddenly, a few minutes closer to Ji Manqing.
The muzzle pressed against Ji Manqing's temple.
He threatened: "You stop quickly, or I will shoot!"
The muzzle was pressed tightly there, extremely cold.
Ji Manqing was extremely calm, without even looking at him.
Her expression remained unchanged, and she said lightly: "I advise you not to act rashly."
Ji Manqing's voice was flat, but it was chilling.
Her look was even ironic.
It seemed that he didn't put his behavior in the bottom of his eyes.
The air was silent.
Gu Renshan's eyes were cold.
He put his index finger on the trigger, ready to kill the woman.
The next second, Gu Renshan pulled the trigger.
The air is still abnormally quiet.
The gunfire did not sound, nor did the bullet fired.
It was an empty gun.
Gu Renshan's mind was startled.
He immediately looked down at the pistol
There is not a bullet in the gun.
Gu Renshan frowned. He clearly had a bullet in the gun. How could he...
Some pictures flashed across his mind.
Six Nations Hotel, someone hit him and left...
This can never be a coincidence.
Gu Renshan's eyes were extremely cold, and it seemed that the gun was replaced at that time.
Gu Renshan sneered: "You arranged that person just now."
Ji Manqing laughed without denying it.
The coldness in her eyes spread.
Since Gu Renshan got into the car, she would never let him escape.
The thing she wants him to do is bound to win.
Gu Renshan slowly lowered his hand, put away the gun, and leaned on the seat of the car.
Up to now, he can only take one step, which is one step.
At this time, the car went to an empty flat ground, extremely quiet, and there were no people.
There were street lights on both sides, and the lights were faint, and all around seemed to sink into the quiet darkness.
The lake at night is more secluded than the day. The night breeze blew by, rippled a few water lines, and quickly dissipated.
Ji Manqing spoke blankly, threatening: "You don't have to think about it anymore, there is a lake in front of you."
"As long as I step on the accelerator, we will die together."
Ji Manqing's eyes were filled with madness.
She worried that after returning to Hanyang, Dong Hongchang might have known that A Yue's disappearance was related to her.
He would never let himself go.
And Gu Renshan has what she needs, which can save her life.
She had already entered a long and narrow alley, and the more she walked in, the narrower the road and the more desperate she felt.
There was endless darkness on all sides, the light was extinguished, the black shadows were heavily covered, and the air was full of cold and cold air.
This is destined to be a dead end.
She had nowhere to go, and there was no way to retreat.
Why not make a desperate move, maybe you can win a way out.
The moonlight fell on the corners of Ji Manqing's eyebrows, as if all became pitch black, hidden in the darkness.
She covered the steering wheel with a trace of determination.
Seeing that Ji Manqing didn't intend to stop, Gu Renshan panicked.
"What are you doing? Stop the car soon!"
Gu Renshan glanced at the front and was getting closer and closer to the lake.
Is this man a lunatic
Drive further forward and the car will fall into the lake. Both will be dead by then.
Ji Manqing didn't realize it.
The car continued to move forward, and the damp and cold air filled up.
The pale moonlight reflected on the lake, extremely bleak.
There was still some distance from the lake, and the cold water vapor seemed to linger beside him.
Gu Renshan's heart beat violently.
He felt that he was about to suffocate, and he could even feel the darkness of the water, pressing against him.
With a sense of oppression that cannot be ignored.
Gu Renshan was relieved: "What do you want me to do?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Manqing stopped the car abruptly, as though there was still a short distance away from the lake.
Gu Renshan's hands and feet were extremely cold, and his heart beat fiercely, and it took a long time to recover his calmness.
This man is really a lunatic, he actually took his life as a bet.
Ji Manqing looked at the central rearview mirror and said in a flat tone: "Minister Gu, I have something I want to talk to you."
Gu Renshan sarcastically said: "This is not a normal way of discussing matters."
First, he sent someone to replace his gun, then hijacked himself to this place, and even threatened him with his life.
This woman is terrible.
Ji Manqing ignored his sarcasm: "Do you remember Dong Hongchang?"
Gu Renshan's heart beat: "Who is Dong Hongchang?"
Dong Hongchang has some stains in his hands. Why does this woman mention Dong Hongchang
He suddenly became flustered.
Without turning his head back, Ji Man smashed a stack of paper towards Gu Renshan.
Her cold voice sounded: "I have something in my hand, you may be interested."
The plain white paper slipped from Gu Renshan and scattered in the car.
His brows sank, and anger surged in his heart.
But now he is under the control of others and has to restrain his emotions.
Gu Renshan bent down and picked up the paper.
He picked up the paper and approached the car window.
The moonlight outside was dim, and with the faint light, he looked at it carefully.
The inside of the car was extremely quiet, with only the sound of paper turning.
The air tightened.
The more he looked down, the more flustered Gu Renshan's heart became.
His hands were also shaking slightly.
These…
It turned out to be evidence of his corruption over the years.
His heart gradually sank until it sank into the deep valley. The haze fell down, and thick darkness filled all around.
Ji Manqing watched Gu Renshan's reaction, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Dong Hongchang has the evidence of Gu Renshan's corruption and is ready to find an opportunity to let Gu Renshan do things for them.
She also knew about this.
She was one step ahead of Dong Hongchang and exposed the matter in front of Gu Renshan, and Gu Renshan would definitely agree to help her.
Until that thing is done, that identity will be her amulet.
Ji Manqing opened his mouth: "I am Ji Manqing."
"I want you to ask the central government for instructions."
Her eyes were extremely dark, saying every word.
"Let me settle in Shanghai as a special commissioner of the Peking government."
The voice sounded clearly and fell straight into Gu Renshan's ears.
Gu Renshan was silent.
After he paused for a few seconds, he said, "Did Dong Hongchang let you come?"
Is it Dong Hongchang's instruction
Ji Manqing did not answer and asked, "What do you think?"
The voice did not change, and his expression did not fluctuate.
Gu Renshan was meditating, already believing Ji Manqing's words in his heart.
Ji Manqing looked so calm, it seemed that Dong Hongchang had instructed her and deliberately used it to threaten herself.
He had long known that Dong Hongchang and Lu Zongting competed for Shanghai, but they were defeated later.
But he didn't expect that Dong Hongchang hadn't rested his mind yet.
He and Dong Hongchang were tied to the same boat, and he could only do what Dong Hongchang wanted.
After a long silence, Gu Renshan said, "I will help you arrange it."
Ji Manqing smiled.
This is her bargaining chip, it can save her life at the critical moment.
The pale moonlight outlines her silent figure.
Behind Ji Manqing is a long and deep night, black surging, like a raging wave, hidden edge.
The smile was hidden behind the haze, revealing the cold that invaded the bone marrow.
…
Hanyang.
The call from Gu Renshan saved Ji Manqing's life.
Dong Hongchang's eyes were cold.
This woman will soon be stationed in Shanghai as a special commissioner of the Peking government.
Even if she moved his son, he could not kill her.
Ji Manqing is very accurate in this step, she knows her temperament.
If the cause is not achieved, he will not easily kill her.
Dong Hongchang put aside the phone and looked at Ji Manqing.
The eyes of the two met, and her eyes did not have the joy of fluke escape, on the contrary, they were determined to be determined.
He turned around and left Ji Manqing's house straight away.
…
Warlord's House.
Lu Huai and Lu Zongting were sitting in the study.
Lu Zongting looked at Lu Huai and said, "You are about to get married soon, how are things prepared?"
The wedding of Lu Sanshao and Ye Er will be held at the Peace Hotel.
The matter has been published in the newspaper.
Lu Zongting said again: "Is there anything missing? Tell me."
Thinking of Ye Chu, Lu Huai's face softened: "Everything is fine."
This is his wedding with Ye Chu, and he will prepare carefully and live up to her wishes.
Lu Zongting: "Ye Chu is a good match for you."
Then, his expression darkened, and his voice became low.
"If your mother was still alive, she would be very happy to see you married."
Remorse and regret are hidden in the words.
Fu Congzhen cares about these children the most. She will be very pleased to know that Lu Huai has found the one he loves.
Lu Huai was silent.
Fu Congzhen's death was a rift in the hearts of the two of them.
It was covered with snow and ice, the night wind was bitter, and the chill swept in.
He will always remember the winter night when the white snow was flying, and his mother's eyes gradually losing her anger.
Time passed quietly, and the cracks would never disappear.
Lu Zongting's voice became even lower: "I can't help you."
Since then, the relationship between father and son has dropped to a freezing point.
Even now, the relationship between the two is extremely flat, only better than strangers.
Lu Zongting's eyes were dim, he took the blame for all this, and he will atone for that mistake in his life.
The atmosphere is stagnant.
Lu Huai changed his conversation: "I have one thing to ask you."
He didn't want to remember the painful past, so he changed the subject.
He had to ask Lu Zongting himself to know about Mo Ling.
Lu Zongting raised his eyes to look at him.
Lu Huai said word by word: "When my mother was alive, were there any other women beside you besides Ji Manqing?"
Lu Zongting was startled.
Immediately Lu Zongting shook his head: "I have never had any contact with other people."
Lu Huai's eyes tightened slightly.
In his previous life, he also asked Lu Zongting the same question.
At that time, Lu Zongting's answer was the same.
Lu Huai asked again: "Are you sure about this?"
Lu Huai's eyebrows were dark.
After so many years, it is possible that Lu Zongting's memory may deviate.
Moreover, Mo Qinghan has a deep hatred for the Lu Family, and there must be a reason for this.
Lu Zongting was stunned for a few seconds, and then replied affirmatively: "I'm sure."
Lu Zongting's reaction did not seem to be false, Lu Huai frowned: "Have you never thought about taking a concubine?"
Lu Zongting noticed something was wrong: "What's the matter?"
Lu Huai would not ask him such things for no reason.
Ji Manqing's accident was caused by Ji Manqing.
Could someone else want to attack the Lu family
Lu Huai glanced at Lu Zongting and handed over a document.
Lu Zongting took it and looked down.
A look of shock appeared in his eyes.
This is actually a concubine document!
Lu Huai caught a glimpse of his expression and said, "It is your handwriting on it."
Lu Zongting shook his head: "I have never signed this document."
He has never thought of accepting a concubine.
Lu Huai said solemnly, "There is a woman's name on this document."
His voice rang and fell in the silent study.
"She's Mo Ling."
Lu Huai looked at Lu Zongting, his voice low.
"What is your relationship with Mo Ling?"
Lu Huai fixedly looked at Lu Zongting, paying attention to his expression.
Mo Qinghan's hatred is most likely related to this concubine document.
The truth is here, and the fog is about to unravel.
Lu Zongting's brows frowned even more tightly.
Mo Ling
He thought hard, looking for memories of this woman in his mind.
But the information about Mo Ling was blank.
He was sure that he had never heard the name.
Lu Zongting's voice was puzzled: "Who is Mo Ling?"
