Chapter 544 Home
“Ruolan, it’s me.” Cheng Qianfan’s voice came from outside the door.
Bai Ruolan breathed a long sigh of relief. At this time, the courageous spirit that she had held on to dissipate, and she only felt that her legs were weak.
She put away the revolver, not forgetting to turn on the safety, and then stepped forward to open the door.
"What's wrong?" Cheng Qianfan walked in and saw Bai Ruolan throwing herself into his arms. He was stunned for a moment. When he saw the revolver in Bai Ruolan's hand, he immediately understood the reason.
"It's okay." Cheng Qianfan hugged his wife, took off the revolver, glanced at the safety, and said gently, "There was a drunkard outside just now. The guy pretended to be a snowman and scared me. I beat him up in anger. He ran away in a hurry."
"Nonsense." Bai Ruolan pursed her lips and smiled.
Her husband came back safely, and she finally felt at ease.
…
"I cut the noodles and cooked the beef soup. Now let me cook you a bowl of beef noodle soup to warm you up." Bai Ruolan said.
"Hurry up, hurry up, my mouth is going to water." Cheng Qianfan made a greedy look, tied his wife's apron, and pushed her toward the kitchen.
“Xiaobao wants to eat too.” Xiaobao shouted crisply, “Put in two more pieces of beef.”
"Little greedy cat." Bai Ruolan patted Cheng Qianfan's hand gently and said with a smile towards Xiaobao.
“Xiaobao is not a greedy cat.” Xiaobao argued, “A cat is.”
The cat jumped down from the stair railing, came to Cheng Qianfan's side, rubbed his trousers, and meowed.
"It was the cat who heard the noise outside first and came to pull my trousers." Bai Ruolan said while busy.
“Good kitty!” Cheng Qianfan bent down and picked up the cat, and the kitten meowed happily when he petted it.
Xiaobao was so greedy that he came over and took the cat away.
…
Cheng Qianfan sat on the chair and estimated the time.
He looked at his wife who was busy in the kitchen, Xiaobao who was petting the cat and giggling in his arms, and the cat meowing comfortably, and he felt that all his defenses and masks had been removed, and he felt extremely relaxed.
He put his hands on the dining table and held his chin, with a gentle light in his eyes. He turned his head to the left to look at his wife who was busy in the kitchen, and turned to his right to look at Xiaobao and the cat.
The beef soup was boiling, and Bai Ruolan gently put in the noodles. In his eyes, the ordinary scene was like a goddess scattering flowers.
Xiaobao stroked the cat upside down. The cat became angry and meowed heavily.
Xiaobao quickly apologized and followed suit. The cat meowed with satisfaction and comfort.
"What are you looking at?" Bai Ruolan glanced at her husband and asked.
"Nothing." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, looking at his wife with warm eyes, "Ruolan, I'm hungry."
“That’s good.” Ruolan brushed her bangs and pursed her lips with a smile.
More than ten minutes later, Bai Ruolan came up with noodles and beef soup, "Xiaobao, this is yours, come and eat."
“It belongs to me and the cat.” Xiaobao shouted.
Cheng Qianfan smiled and said, "Xiaobao is right, our cat has made many contributions."
The cat meowed.
With that said, he took the big bowl brought by Ruolan and smiled, "Thank you, madam."
Bai Ruolan gave him an angry look.
Hululu.
Bai Ruolan patted her apron, pulled up a chair and sat down. She held her chin with her hands and watched her husband and sister-in-law eating happily, squinting her eyes happily.
…
"Leave the dishes and chopsticks for me to wash when I get back. You can go and put Xiaobao to sleep later." Cheng Qianfan said.
Bai Ruolan was about to refuse, but suddenly realized something and looked at her husband worriedly.
"There are some temporary official matters to be handled. Don't worry, it's just some paperwork. It's not dangerous." Cheng Qianfan said with a smile, "Your husband is a patrol commander. There is no reason for a patrol commander to go to the frontline and be in danger."
"Then you should pay attention." Bai Ruolan smiled, came up to help her husband tie the scarf, and said.
He knew she knew she was telling a white lie.
She knew he knew what he had guessed, just some words of comfort.
He speaks and she listens.
She pretended to believe and prayed in her heart.
He not only told her, but also told himself that he had to be cautious enough. This family only exists as long as he is alive.
Cheng Qianfan hugged his wife and whispered, "Next time you see me, make sure it's me and then turn on the insurance."
Bai Ruolan's body stiffened slightly, then she buried her head in her husband's arms and arched her head, "Yes, I understand."
"It's such a cold day, I just happened to be lazy." Bai Ruolan raised her head, took the revolver handed over by her husband, smiled, put away the gun, and turned around to go upstairs.
…
Cheng Qianfan sat on the chair and took out the cigarette case.
Popping out a cigarette, instead of using a lighter, he took out the match box on the dining table, lit a match, slowly lit it, and took a puff.
Tap your left index finger lightly on the dining table.
Finished smoking a cigarette.
Exactly two hundred and one strokes.
Crushing the cigarette **** in the ashtray, Cheng Qianfan stood up, said hello, picked up the phone in the living room and said, "For Liangyou Trading Company, No. 31 Di Siwei Road, call Mr. Huang Bo."
“Boss Huang, it’s me. I have news about the person you asked me to help find.”
“Okay, see you later.”
ˆ He carefully checked his Browning gun and prepared a spare magazine.
His expression was somewhat solemn.
He frowned slightly.
As soon as Araki Harima gave him the information about the Shanghai station, his eldest brother Lu Xinge appeared.
Although Cheng Qianfan definitely did not believe that Lu Xingge would commit treason, he had to guard against it.
At this moment, he could not rule out the possibility of being tempted by the enemy.
Cheng Qianfan straightened his clothes, touched the scarf around his neck, opened the door to his home, closed it from the outside, and heard the secret lock click and lock.
Cheng Qianfan did not leave immediately.
He stood at the door.
Sure enough, I heard light footsteps coming from inside.
A gentle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
It was Bai Ruolan who went downstairs again and locked the wooden door bolt from the inside.
Cheng Qianfan pressed his hat, held an umbrella, and stepped on the snow, leaving a long string of footprints in the alley.
There was a sigh from behind the door, like a whisper, saying something like 'peace' and 'bless'.
…
Pétain District, Shanghai Station temporary safe house.
“Are you saying that Cheng Qianfan pretended not to know you, but was actually warning you?” Zheng Lijun asked in a deep voice.
"That's right." Lu Xingge rubbed his hands, took the enamel jar handed over by a boss, and drank several large gulps of hot water, finally feeling warmer.
“He pretended not to know me at first, but I was very angry at the time and didn’t realize what he meant.” Lu Xingo said with some regret.
“Then Cheng Qianfan deliberately called me by the wrong name, and then I realized what he meant.”
“Wrong title?”
“Cheng Qianfan deliberately called me Brother Lu. In fact, he has never called me that.” Lu Xingge said.
“In your opinion, why did Cheng Qianfan do this?” Zheng Lijun frowned and asked.
“Cheng Qianfan should be involved with other forces, and the most likely thing is that the Japanese asked him to help arrest us. Cheng Qianfan is not willing to offend the Japanese, but he is also unwilling to actually arrest me, so he can only conceal the warning.”
Lu Xingo said that on the way back, he had "familiarly figured out" all the joints.
…
"Miyazaki-kun, you said Lu Xinge came to find you? Is he your eldest brother?" Araki Harima asked in shock.
"Araki-kun, please be careful with your words. Lu Xingge, a Chinese from China, is Cheng Qianfan's eldest brother, not mine." Cheng Qianfan's face was gloomy, and he muttered, "Damn Chinese."
"Miyazaki-kun, don't worry about these little things now." Araki Harima said anxiously, anxious to know the situation.
"This is no small matter." Miyazaki Kentaro said with an extremely serious expression, "Araki-kun, I played the role of a Chinese on the Chinese side, and now I am with my compatriots and friends. I don't want to suffer this kind of torture again."
As he spoke, he paused, gritted his teeth in annoyance, and sighed heavily, "Araki-kun, I lost my composure."
“Miyazaki-kun, you’ve suffered.” Araki patted Kentaro Miyazaki on the shoulder.
"I'm not sure if this Lu Xingge is the Lu Xingge from Shanghai Station. Maybe he has the same name." Cheng Qianfan took a puff of cigarette and fell into memories.
“I don’t know this person, he said he is Cheng Qianfan’s eldest brother.”
“Can you tell me more specifically, Miyazaki-kun?” Araki Harima asked.
