Chapter 665 Transformation!
The white cigarette was played with flowers in Cheng Qianfan's hands.
Three Fortresses, Lao Dao, Hardman, and Marlboro.
Cheng Qianfan has tried many brands of cigarettes. I don’t know if it’s a psychological effect, but I feel that Hardman’s cigarettes are the easiest to spin.
His eyes narrowed slightly and he glanced at the sister who had been with him and his sister Cheng Min when they were young.
Tang Xiaoye ‘lied’.
Although Tang Xiaoye behaved normally just now, there was nothing wrong.
However, when talking just now, Tang Xiaoye subconsciously glanced in the direction of the window.
This is Shinoba's subconscious reaction when she lies or is nervous.
For example, when she was a child, her sister Cheng Min brought Xiaoye to Yandeli to play with him. The greedy Tang Xiaoye secretly ate fruit candies. When he was 'questioned' by him, in this study room, the little girl subconsciously glanced at the window. direction.
Thinking of this interesting childhood incident, Cheng Qianfan sighed in his heart. At that time, this study was used by his father, Cheng Wenzao, and the children loved to come to the study to hunt for treasures.
What is Tang Xiaoye nervous about?
"How is Uncle Fang's health?" Cheng Qianfan asked casually, taking a sip of tea.
"Dad's health is not bad." Tang Xiaoye said, "However, it may be that business matters are more troublesome. I noticed that his white hair grows quickly."
"The current situation is turbulent and it is not easy to do business." Cheng Qianfan nodded, "I understand this very well."
‘You are a counter-revolutionary policeman with a dark heart. ’
‘My father is different from you! ’
Tang Xiaoye said in her heart that she knew her father. Fang Guohua was a patriotic businessman who treated the workers in the factory well.
During the first Songhu Anti-Japanese War, Fang Guohua personally organized a labor force and sent seven pigs, three thousand kilograms of white flour, three thousand kilograms of rice, and one thousand eggs to the 19th Army.
“Brother, Bai Feiyu is really innocent.” Tang Xiaoye changed the subject and said.
“You haven’t answered my question yet, how do you know this person?” Cheng Qianfan asked.
"I don't know this person. He is a relative of a very good friend of mine." Tang Xiaoye said, "This friend of mine asked me to come here."
Before coming to see Cheng Qianfan, Tang Xiaoye had reviewed and simulated the conversation between the two in his mind many times to make full preparations in advance.
He must never admit that he knows Bai Feiyu. This is a warning line that Tang Xiaoye has set for himself.
She must insist that she is entrusted by a good friend.
"Hmm." Cheng Qianfan nodded. He put the cigarette in his hand in front of his nostrils and sniffed. "You don't even know him. How do you know that this person has not committed any crime? And you keep saying that he is innocent."
"Brother, my friend has repeatedly assured me..." Tang Xiaoye said hurriedly.
"Remember." Tang Xiaoye interrupted. The cigarette he was playing with was flicked back by Cheng Qianfan, and the cigarette was bitten in his mouth. (PS1)
However, without lighting the cigarette, Cheng Qianfan bit the cigarette and said, "It is impossible for the patrol room to arrest the wrong person. We will never wrongly accuse any innocent citizen."
He pressed his hand and signaled Tang Xiaoye to stop talking and listen to him.
"Second, for me, whether to save a person does not depend on whether he is innocent. I have my own set of principles." Cheng Qianfan continued.
"Principle?" Tang Xiaoye asked subconsciously, and then she saw Cheng Qianfan's eyes that looked like a smile but not a smile.
"Little sister, you should have heard of my brother's name and principles of conduct." Cheng Qianfan held the cigarette that was wet with saliva between his two fingers, flipped it over, and bit the other end.
"Ah, yes, I know, I understand." Tang Xiaoye said with an embarrassed look.
Even though he had long heard that "Mr. Xiao Cheng" was greedy for money, Tang Xiaoye was still shocked and embarrassed when his brother, whom he had relied on and admired since childhood, said such "shameless" words.
Then she felt that she was so funny. It was Cheng Qianfan who was obviously embarrassed, but Cheng Qianfan was so confident that she felt embarrassed.
“What you must be thinking about right now is that you are ashamed to have a second brother like me.” Cheng Qianfan said.
“Brother, I didn’t.” Tang Xiaoye quickly defended.
“You do.” Cheng Qianfan said and pointed to the window.
The window was open, and Tang Xiaoye looked outside and could see rows of rooftops and lush phoenix trees.
Cheng Qianfan called out "Mimi".
Then, Tang Xiaoye heard a meow and a cat jumped out from under the window, which startled her.
The cat glanced at the female visitor with proud eyes, jumped lightly on the desk, and then jumped into Cheng Qianfan's arms. After rubbing it twice, it found a comfortable position and fell asleep.
“This cat is—” Tang Xiaoye said in surprise, looking at the familiar posture of the cat.
“Yes, the cat was born to her mother.” Cheng Qianfan said.
This is a sick sentence, but Tang Xiaoye understood it.
She got up from her seat and touched the cat's smooth fur. The cat frowned and purred. Cheng Qianfan stroked it, and the cat became obedient.
"I almost forgot because you interrupted me." Cheng Qianfan glared at Tang Xiaoye and pointed at the window again, "In this study, as long as you lie, you will subconsciously look out the window."
As he spoke, Cheng Qianfan shook his head, smiled, stroked the cat in his hand, and continued, "This is your little habit, and you don't even know it."
“Ah!” Tang Xiaoye was surprised and blinked his eyes.
She recalled carefully that when she said something insincerely, she had indeed glanced in the direction of the window subconsciously.
This discovery made her a little frustrated.
Such habitual behaviors and actions are inappropriate for an underground party member. Under special circumstances, they can even be said to be very fatal.
However, Tang Xiaoye thought for a moment and found that he did not seem to have this little habit in other places. He must have returned to this place where he often visited when he was a child, so he had a subconscious reaction...
“Brother, I didn’t mean that.” Tang Xiaoye quickly explained.
"You have it." Cheng Qianfan's face turned cold. "I'm greedy for money, lustful, ruthless, and do all kinds of evil. That's what those people must be saying about me behind my back."
“Yes.” Tang Xiaoye nodded.
She originally planned to deny it, but in her heart, she thought that would be too false.
“That’s what I’m saying.” Cheng Qianfan nodded solemnly, “So you think so and view me this way.”
Tang Xiaoye looked at him and said sincerely, "Brother, everyone has some misunderstandings about you. You can do something to improve everyone's impression of you."
“Why should I change? Why should I change for the sake of what others think of me?”
“I don’t steal or rob myself. I make money based on my own skills. What’s wrong with that?”
"Go out and find out which one was forced by me? I, Cheng Qianfan, have always made money on my own accord!"
‘Of course you are confident. Given your boss Cheng’s power, who would dare to say that he was forced? ’ Tang Xiaoye felt despicable.
‘Brother, how can you have the nerve to say such shameless things? ’ Tang Xiaoye said in his heart.
“I just like money and women. Which powerful man doesn’t do this?”
“Money and **** are the manifestations of men’s power.”
"Those people slander me, why do they have it? I dare say that if those idiots have my status, they are worse than me!"
Cheng Qianfan's voice became excited, his face turned red, he waved his hands and began to speak loudly.
"I, Cheng Qianfan, always do what I say. This is my principle and my loyalty." Cheng Qianfan looked at Tang Xiaoye and asked, "Do you understand?"
“I understand.” Tang Xiaoye nodded.
She really understands.
Tang Xiaoye took out a piece of paper from his body and handed it to Cheng Qianfan, "My friend asked me to give this to you. There is no reason to ask for help in vain with empty words."
She thought Cheng Qianfan would ask questions again.
But Cheng Qianfan glanced at the 'gift list' and nodded, "If the sincerity is met, Bai Feiyu will be released tomorrow morning. Let's prepare to take him home."
Tang Xiaoye understood what ‘sincerity’ meant.
At the same time, she did not hear what Cheng Qianfan meant by 'taking people home'. She was filled with joy now, "Brother, thank you, I also thank you on behalf of my friend."
“You are a good friend and very polite, so naturally I will help if I can.” Cheng Qianfan said.
As he spoke, he smiled, bent down and rummaged through the cabinet under the desk, and found a wooden box. He opened it and looked at it, "It's for you."
This is a pair of green bracelets.
"Brother, I am just entrusted by my friends, not a money-making broker." Tang Xiaoye was very angry and said angrily.
“That’s not what I meant.” Cheng Qianfan explained, “Little sister, don’t get me wrong.”
Tang Xiaoye put down the tea cup, stood up and said, "I'll go down and see if my sister-in-law and the others are back. I have something to do in the afternoon."
“As I said, stay and eat.”
“Brother, I said—”
"I said, stay for dinner, you have to think carefully. If you make me angry, I will swallow the money and won't let you go." Cheng Qianfan said coldly.
“Brother, aren’t you afraid of people’s words?” Tang Xiaoye was very angry.
"If I say a word, that Bai Feiyu will die suddenly tonight, and your friend will also disappear. How can you be so scary if you don't have anyone?" Cheng Qianfan chuckled.
Tang Xiaoye who walked to the door stopped, turned to look at Cheng Qianfan, shook his head, his eyes full of disappointment, "Brother, you have changed, you have become so scary, I can't believe my eyes."
“It’s not that I have changed, it’s that we have all grown up.” Cheng Qianfan said.
At this moment, the voices of Bai Ruolan and the children came from downstairs.
“Let’s go downstairs.” Cheng Qianfan said. He handed over the wooden box containing the jade bracelet in his hand, “Take it! Otherwise I will be angry!”
Tang Xiaoye silently took the wooden box and walked in front without saying a word.
The shoes made a muffled sound when they stepped on the wooden floor.
…
This meal is a feast for both the guest and the host.
Looking at Tang Xiaoye, whose complexion returned to normal, who was chatting happily with Bai Ruolan and the children, and who responded to him with a smile, Cheng Qianfan felt a little relieved and felt a lot more emotional.
The innocent and simple sister back then grew up very quickly and could even be considered a relatively qualified Bolshevik fighter!
Yes, Tang Xiaoye should be a comrade of our party!
This is how Cheng Qianfan feels.
Just as he had 'seen through' Qin Di's identity, Tang Xiaoye's identity could not be concealed from him for long, and was even revealed even faster:
Just a visit.
This is not because Tang Xiaoye's performance is more immature than the immature Qin Di, but because Cheng Qianfan understands his little sister better.
Tang Xiaoye participated in anti-Japanese and patriotic rallies a few years ago.
At that time, Tang Xiaoye was full of patriotic enthusiasm and actively participated in rallies and parades to raise funds for the Anti-Japanese War.
Facing this black-hearted police patrol brother, he has no good face at all, and will even pretend not to know him.
The little sister has changed a lot now.
Take the initiative to see him.
Although you will still quarrel with him, you know how to compromise.
Although you may have something on your mind, you will pretend to be fine and show a perfect smile with no flaws easily visible.
When an impulsive, young, and naive patriot becomes rational, careful, able to hide his emotions, and will take the initiative to approach people he hates.
In the eyes of Comrade Huo Miao, a 24-year-old veteran party member, this is progress and transformation—
The transformation from a simple patriot to an underground fighter of redism!
Of course, in the strict eyes of Comrade Huo Miao's higher requirements, Comrade Tang Xiaoye's performance was barely passable and not considered good. Her on-the-spot response was not good in several places.
…
After lunch, Tang Xiaoye took Yang Ximei to say goodbye and left.
“Xiaobao, meet Fang Ximei again.” Cheng Qianfan said.
“Brother, my younger sister’s surname is not Fang, her surname is Yang.” Xiaobao said.
Cheng Qianfan looked at Tang Xiaoye doubtfully.
"Mom said that adopting my younger sister is a good deed, and she doesn't care about what will happen to my younger sister in the future. This is fine. There is no need for my younger sister to change her surname. It's okay to keep her original surname. My younger sister will not forget her ancestors." Tang Xiaoye looked at Cheng Qianfan said.
“Auntie has such a heart.” Cheng Qianfan said with admiration, pretending not to hear the admonishment contained in Tang Xiaoye’s words.
"Have you had a quarrel?" Bai Ruolan poured her husband a cup of tea and asked as she watched Tang Xiaoye and Yang Ximei leave.
“How can you tell?” Cheng Qianfan asked with a smile.
He is now accustomed to his wife's carefulness and intelligence.
"Although I have never met this sister-in-law twice, I still have some idea of her temperament." Bai Ruolan pursed her lips and said with a smile.
“I pretend to be an adult, but I look like an adult, but in fact I am still a child who has not grown up.” Cheng Qianfan chuckled lightly and said with a pun.
