Lu Ming didn't speak, Ye Chen and him were silent, for some reason, Ye Chen suddenly remembered the phone number she gave Gu Jianan many years ago.
What was she trying to say then
Oh, she didn't want to say anything, she just wanted to hear Gu Jianan's voice.
What did Lu Ming call her at this moment
She was a little dazed, but she couldn't bear to hang up the phone. The two were silent. After a long time, Ye Chen said slowly, "I saw the poem you gave me."
As she said that, she lowered her eyes and looked at the poetry collection on her lap. She said in a hoarse voice, "Lu Ming, your poetry reading is so nice."
Lu Ming didn't speak, he opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
However, there was a woman's calm voice on the other end of the phone.
"If I had the brocade of heaven,"
"Weaving in gold and silver light,"
"And the blue night and the white day,"
"And the intricate light of dawn and dusk."
"I will spread this brocade under your feet,"
"But I'm so poor, I only have a dream;"
"Then put my dream shop at your feet,"
"Be gentle, because what you are stepping on is my dream."
Listening to her unwavering tone, Lu Ming remembered how he had chosen from a thousand choices that morning, and wanted to go to the girl and read this poem.
At that time, his face was expressionless. At that time, he pretended to be calm, but in fact, his heartbeat was already fast, and his ears were red.
At this moment, he listened to the man calmly reciting the poems he gave her, and he finally said, "Song Wanqing, what are you going to do?"
"Shanghai is restless, you should go."
"how about you?"
Ye Chen looked at the black and white words on the book, and his voice was calm: "Since you know that Shanghai is not peaceful, what are you going to do?"
"It's none of your business."
"Then where I go, it has nothing to do with you."
"Song Wanqing!" Lu Ming raised his voice, but the rest of the words got stuck in his throat. He couldn't spit it out, couldn't swallow it, and finally he could only lift it up and put it down gently: "Go to Hong Kong. "
Ye Chen didn't speak.
She thought that the fundamental relationship between him and Lu Ming was probably here.
Lu Ming wanted her to go to Hong Kong wholeheartedly, but she was destined not to go back. Since she came to this era, she will not come in vain.
However, like Lu Ming, she wholeheartedly hoped that Lu Ming would go to Hong Kong.
Everyone hopes that their lover can live, live well, and live with dignity, and Ye Chen is no exception. Even if she put her life and death aside, she did not let go of Lu Ming's life and death.
So after hearing Lu Ming persuade her to go to Hong Kong, she could only end the call by saying, "It's too late, go to sleep."
After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone, and then she put the poetry collection on the bedside.
Listening to the beeps on the phone, Lu Ming felt as if he had exhausted all his courage.
He lay on the bed and said nothing.
When he woke up the next day, Lu Ming went out to find Xiangnan. According to Xiangnan, he sold the oracle bone tablet to a middle-aged boss with a mole on his mouth. Lu Ming inquired for a long time and heard that this was a Tianjin man. A wealthy businessman, who travels between Tianjin and Shanghai all year round, he has people guarding major train stations and wharves, and he will be arrested as soon as people arrive.
After waiting for two days, Lu Ming was arrested. After Lu Ming was beaten, the rich businessman explained the whereabouts of the oracle bone inscriptions, but they sold them to a Japanese.
The wealthy businessman reported the name of the Japanese, a businessman named Junichiro Inoue. Lu Ming felt a little difficult. That Japanese is also a prominent figure in Japan in China. You can't rob it, you can only buy it. He asked someone to hand over the invitation to Inoue Junichiro, and he came to visit every two days.
Lu Ming originally thought that the other party might refuse to meet him, but the other party's attitude was very good. Not only did he quickly arrange the interview, but he also decided to meet him in a high-end Japanese restaurant.
When Lu Ming arrived, the other party had already arrived early. The other party was wearing a blue long gown and looked completely Chinese, but the posture of sitting upright on his knees clearly showed his position of origin.
Lu Ming sat opposite Junichiro, Junichiro poured him a drink, and said in standard Shanghai dialect, "It's surprising that Mr. Lu is looking for me."
"Mr. Inoue promised to see me, which surprised me too."
Junichiro Inoue smiled and pushed the wine in front of Lu Ming: "Why does Mr. Lu think I won't see you?"
"Mr. Inoue probably wouldn't pay attention to such a small person like Lu on weekdays. Now I'm afraid there is something wrong that makes Mr. Inoue willing to see me, right?"
Lu Ming hit the nail on the head, but Junichiro Inoue was not surprised. He nodded, took a sip of wine, and said slowly: "I have been in Shanghai for 20 years. I have a wife and children here, and my business is doing well. I I am familiar with Japan, and I am familiar with you.”
Lu Ming nodded silently and listened quietly to Inoue's words. Inoue glanced at her and continued: "I have been observing Mr. Lu for a long time. Mr. Lu is very resolute in his work, and I admire him very much. And I also know that Mr. Lu can bend and stretch in his work. Not pedantic, right?"
After listening to Inoue's words, Lu Ming could probably guess what Inoue was going to say, he smiled and changed the subject: "Actually, I came to Mr. Inoue this time because I heard that he has a batch of oracle bone tablets in his hand, I want to ask Ask the gentleman if he can give up his love? As long as the price is reasonable, more or less is not a problem."
Junichiro Inoue was a little surprised by Lu Ming's words. He thought about it and said slowly: "I did buy a batch of oracle bone tablets, but I didn't expect that Mr. Lu was also a friend. If Mr. Lu wants oracle bone tablets, just take them directly, next. Always be generous with friends."
Lu Ming understood what Junichiro Inoue meant. He was generous to his friends, so he had to become his friend first. Lu Ming now also understands the reason why Inoue met him. He wants him to be their minion in China.
But Lu Ming would never do such a thing, not even for a mission.
Everyone has a bottom line, some people are high, some people are low, Lu Ming understands those who sell everything for their lives, but it does not mean forgiveness, and he will not do so.
So Lu Ming smiled lightly, shook the glass and said, "Mr. Inoue should make a price."
"Mr. Lu's meaning," Inoue smiled coldly: "Are you not willing to be this friend with me?"
"Actually, Mr. Inoue misunderstood Lu. Lu is not a person who can bend and stretch. On the contrary, he is very pedantic. Lu does not like to make friends. He is used to being alone, and he understands Mr. Inoue."
Junichiro Inoue didn't speak. He lowered his head and drank tea. After a long time, he slowly said, "Mr. Lu, have you figured it out? If Mr. Lu is not my friend, others will be. There are many benefits to being my friend. But if you are not my friend, you can only be my enemy."
Lu Ming smiled: "Then Mr. Inoue should treat me as the enemy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the person behind Inoue suddenly pulled out his gun, and at the same time, the person behind Lu Ming also pulled out his gun. The scene was close, Junichiro Inoue looked a little stiff, Lu Ming drank tea with one hand, and the other He held the knife under the table, the tip of the knife touching Junichiro Inoue's belly.
"Mr. Inoue," Lu Ming put down the teacup and said in a gentle voice, "Lu Mou thinks that we should not be friends or enemies, but it's better to be strangers, what do you think?"
"Mr. Lu," Inoue's words trembled a little: "It's true."
"Pointing a gun at a stranger, isn't it good?" Lu Ming raised his eyes and looked at the person behind Junichiro Inoue. Junichiro Inoue raised his hand, and the person behind him was a little annoyed, but he still retracted the gun.
Lu Ming put away the knife, said goodbye, and got up and left. When he turned to open the door, Junichiro Inoue suddenly drew his gun. That is, at that moment, Lu Ming didn't turn his head back, and threw the dagger in his hand. Cut off Junichiro Inoue's pistol.
Lu Ming put his hand in his trouser pocket and left without saying a word.
After leaving the door, his subordinates said angrily, "Why didn't Master Lu kill him!"
"The Japanese are waiting for us to take the initiative to kill." Lu Ming's eyes were a little cold: "They don't kill first, we don't do it, don't make trouble, go."
After speaking, Lu Ming got into the car and began to think about how to get the Oracle tablet back without giving the Japanese an excuse to make trouble.
And the news of Lu Ming's visit to Junichiro Inoue quickly reached Ye Chen's ears. She grabbed Xiang Nan and asked, and then had them checked, and then she knew Lu Ming's purpose of looking for the other party.
Knowing that Lu Ming and Junichiro Inoue had a conflict, Ye Chen understood that the oracle bone inscriptions probably didn't come back. She was thinking about how to help Lu Ming get the things back when Liu Shu gave her a message, saying that the Song family had called. Let her go back.
The Song family still didn't know the news of her and Lu Ming's divorce. They thought she was living in the Lu family's villa. The phone call was made to the Lu family's villa. The guard's servant was Ye Chen's servant. stayed there. Ye Chen got the news. As his daughter, he still had to go home to see it, so Ye Chen responded, then dressed up as Song Wanqing and went to Song's house.
After staying in the Song family for an afternoon, it turned out that Song Wanqing's younger brother was going to marry a daughter-in-law, and the family did not have enough money. I wondered if she could get a subsidy for marrying into the Lu family.
Ye Chen was too lazy to argue with the Song family. After crying and saying that it was not easy for him, he gave him some money casually. The Song family was very satisfied, and felt that Ye Chen was still thinking about his family.
The family sent Ye Chen out. Not long after he left, a car followed Ye Chen. The car was following closely, and Xiang Nan, who was driving, felt that something was wrong, and whispered, "Sister Chen, something is wrong."
"Drive faster."
Ye Chen looked around with a cold face.
Southward stepped on the accelerator, and the car behind followed. It seemed to know that Ye Chen had discovered it, and it didn't care about hiding, and followed Ye Chen on a rampage all the way.
There was a narrow intersection in front of them, and they were honking their horns wildly to the south. Fortunately, it was raining today. They walked in a remote area, and there were no people at all. !
The two cars directly sandwiched the car in the middle, the car stopped suddenly, slammed south on the steering wheel, and suddenly passed out. Ye Chen immediately went to investigate Xiangnan's situation, and after confirming that he was only in a coma, he immediately installed an emergency rescue device on him.
After doing this, the three cars next to them rushed down. Those people opened the door. Ye Chen looked at them coldly. Two of them talked in Japanese. Chen heard the two people say: "Is this what Mr. Inoue wants?"
"Look at the photo."
Saying that, one of them turned his head and grabbed Ye Chen directly.
Inoue Junichiro was the only powerful Japanese in Shanghai, and Ye Chen was almost certain that it was him. As soon as he thought of the oracle bone inscriptions, Ye Chen felt that there was nowhere to go after stepping through the iron shoes, and it would take no effort to get them.
She pretended to be an ordinary young grandmother and screamed desperately when the other party grabbed it. The man was a little impatient, he took out his gun and said in blunt Chinese: "Come down, or I will kill you!"
Ye Chen pretended to be frightened and stupid, the man stretched out his hand, dragged her down, and held a gun to her: "Go."
Probably because Ye Chen's appearance was too lethal, these people didn't even tie her up, they took her directly to the car, and then drove forward.
Ye Chen kept an eye on Xiang Nan's situation at all times, and after confirming that Xiang Nan was all right, he was relieved to follow the group of people to Junichiro Inoue's residence.
She timidly said, "Who are you and why are you arresting me?"
"What are you doing, I have to ask your husband."
The man sitting next to her said, "Your husband has offended Mr. Inoue. If he is willing to agree to Mr. Inoue's conditions, you can live, otherwise..."
The man sneered: "A girl who is so good-looking will not look good when she dies."
Ye Chen shrank, as if frightened.
At this time, she was sure that it was Junichiro Inoue who caught her.
Ye Chen was silent, and after a long time, she was taken into a villa.
"sit down!"
The person who brought her in pressed her onto the sofa, Ye Chen sat obediently, and after waiting for a while, a middle-aged man in a suit walked down from the second floor.
"Mrs. Lu."
The man nodded towards Ye Chen and introduced himself: "My name is Junichiro Inoue. I asked you to come here this time in the hope that you could do us a favor."
Ye Chen lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. Junichiro Inoue raised his hand, and the person next to him called. After a while, the call was connected, and the caller asked the person over there to transfer Lu Ming. , Before long, Ye Chen heard Lu Ming's voice: "Hello?"
"Mr. Lu," Junichiro Inoue answered the phone, looked up at Ye Chen, and said with a smile, "Mrs. Lu, come here and have a word with Mr. Lu."
After speaking, the microphone was placed next to Ye Chen, and Junichiro Inoue narrowed his eyes: "Don't be nervous, just say a few more words."
"A... A Ming... "
Ye Chen said tremblingly, as if he was very scared: "Don't come here, I'm not afraid!"
After hearing this, everyone laughed, while Lu Ming was on the other side, listening to the laughter on the other side with no expression on his face. After a long time, he slowly said, "Wan Qing?"
"A-Ming..."
Ye Chen began to cry, and the people around him laughed even more, Lu Ming: "..."
He felt that what Ye Chen said was true, and she was really not afraid.
How miserable he was deceived by her, he believed how miserable these Japanese were.
But he was still worried, and said directly: "I'll come over immediately."
When Junichiro Inoue heard this, he seemed very happy. He took the microphone and said gently, "I'm waiting for you."
Lu Ming hung up the phone, immediately called the Hong Mansion, and found Hong Sheng.
"Ye Chen was caught by Junichiro Inoue." Lu Ming said immediately, Hong Sheng was stunned, and then said, "Impossible!"
With Ye Chen's skills, how could he be caught
"I'm not discussing the possibility with you, I'm going to save people right now, they can't hold it anymore, I guess they want to negotiate terms with me, there may be a conflict at that time, you help me send Ye Chen's family on board to Hong Kong , Wusong Wharf Nostalgia, right now!"
"Wait a minute!" Hong Sheng understood that Lu Ming was not joking, and his voice became cold: "You can't go."
Lu Ming frowned and heard Hong Sheng say: "The Japanese are making excuses now to make trouble, you can't go."
"Do you think they won't make trouble if I don't go?"
Lu Ming replied very calmly: "Hong Sheng, if you want to add a crime, there is nothing to worry about, even if I don't care about Song today... Ye Chen, even if Ye Chen died in their hands today, we don't care if we don't ask, the same thing will happen tomorrow. Happened until one day it suddenly exploded."
"If they are looking for something, there is always something to look for. It's not Ye Chen, it's always someone else. The war will definitely break out. We don't need to send an extra life out for nothing."
Hong Sheng didn't speak. After a long time, he slowly said: "Then tell me the truth, if Ye Chen wasn't arrested today, but someone else, would you make the same choice?"
"Same."
Lu Ming said calmly: "It's just Ye Chen, I will do my best."
"I understand." Hong Sheng sighed and said, "Go ahead."
Lu Ming nodded: "Master Hong, please."
After speaking, Lu Ming hung up the phone and asked the people in the house to immediately count the things. After ordering them to go to the pier, he took them to Junichiro Inoue's mansion.
After Lu Ming left, Hong Sheng held the phone and did not speak.
Zhang Xi stood on the edge and said respectfully, "Master, what's the matter?"
"I'm getting old." Master Hong turned his head and looked at Zhang Xi with a bitter smile: "I don't have the energy of a young man anymore."
After speaking, Hong Sheng sighed: "Go pick up the Song family and take them to Wusong Wharf. I'll find someone."
When Lu Ming and Hong Sheng were busy, Ye Chen was locked in the dungeon.
They had almost no vigilance against her, and a few people were playing cards and drinking outside, making a lot of noise.
After a while, a few people got a little drunk, and one of them said in Japanese, "That woman is very good-looking."
Hearing this, Ye Chen, who was bargaining with Sanba to buy a map, slipped the knife into the palm of his hand. Those people laughed, and the person who spoke stood up, walked to the edge of the dungeon, and greeted Ye Chen, Ye Chen Looking up at him innocently, he unlocked the lock and greeted her: "Come here, little sister, come here."
Ye Chen looked at the person standing at the door, and said with some fear: "You... really want me to come over?"
"come."
The man beckoned, Ye Chen raised his head and smiled slightly: "Okay, I'll come here."
