After eating, Lao Fan saw that there were still dishes on the table that had not been eaten, so he asked the store to pack them, saying that he wanted to take them away, Chen Miao was helpless, this guy really knows how to live frugally.

"Hehe, these leftovers are enough for me to eat until Chinese New Year's Eve, and I can save a sum of expenses." Lao Fan happily took the packed meal from the boss.

This packing lunch box actually comes with it.

Chen Miao absolutely suspected that this guy ordered so many dishes tonight on purpose, otherwise, what would he be doing with a lunch box when he went out?

"Okay, it's cold, I'll take you a while when you get in the car?" Chen Miao also knew his habits, and he had long been surprised, as long as he didn't get in the way, he wouldn't be too harsh.

It's not that Lao Fan hasn't been like this, more often, he still has a good sense of what to do, and he won't do such a "low-level" thing when he goes to that kind of high-end restaurant.

"It's okay, I just drank wine, it's not cold, walk and scatter the wine, by the way, eliminate food, go back and just sleep, you go yours, I'm not far from home." Lao Fan separated from Chen Miao at the door of the tavern and went in the opposite direction, anyway, this alley is open, and you can walk out that way.

Lao Fan was very familiar with the environment here, he had already lived in this neighborhood, otherwise he would not have rushed to the tavern that Chen Miao had arrived at first.

"Coming back?"

"Didn't you play cards today?"

"Qiao'er's body is not well, she rested early, Hongyu is busy with needlework in the room alone, and I will watch some upstairs alone." Liang Xueqin said.

"Oh, what are you looking at?" Chen Miao asked curiously.

"Sophie."

"Sophie, is it Egret's Sophie?" Chen Miao was surprised.

"Yes, the third brother also knows about the egret?"

"I know, we met two days ago, but we were just in a hurry, and we didn't even speak." Chen Miao said, "You help me put the water first, I want to take a bath." ”

"Okay." Liang Xueqin agreed.

Chen Miao quickly came out of the bathroom and saw Liang Xueqin sitting at the head of the bed in the bedroom, with the lamp on, her back against the pillow, and a book in her hand, reading with relish.

"Is it pretty?"

"Beautiful." Liang Xueqin put it down and nodded.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Miao took a glass of water, stepped on her slippers and walked over, put them on the bedside cabinet, and then sat down and asked.

"It tells the story of a woman named Sophie who rebelled against her family's feudal arranged marriage, broke with her parents for love and her confidants, eloped with her sweetheart, and studied abroad."

"That sounds pretty outrageous."

"What deviant, freedom of marriage, don't we women have the right to pursue and control our own marital happiness?" Liang Xueqin retorted.

"This is also true, but parents can't choose, if it's just a momentary hurry, then their marriage will not be blessed, and they will still be unhappy."

"How can you be sure that they won't be happy?"

"Love is sometimes blind, although the parents' thinking is a little old-fashioned and outdated, but where is their life experience, looking at people, sometimes they see much deeper than young people who have entered the world, and they are carried away by love, and finally end up dismally, there are many such examples." Chen Miao said.

"Third brother, then you don't support Sophie's decision?"

"No, I'm not supportive, but I hope that everyone should be calm and rational about feelings, sometimes parents oppose it is not unreasonable, and sometimes they have to insist on their own opinions and ideas, not to mention, life does not experience setbacks, that is not called life, in fact, there is nothing wrong with eating a trench and growing wise, and it is good to be able to see a person clearly in time." Chen Miao smiled.

"You've got it all said, huh." Liang Xueqin pouted.

"Okay, you can watch it, but don't go too deep, don't watch it too late, go to bed early, and continue to watch it tomorrow." Chen Miao easily took away the Dao in Liang Xueqin's hand.

"Alas......"

"Go to bed early, I still have something to do in the study to deal with." Chen Miao turned off the bedside lamp with her hand, then closed the door and went out.

……

Back in the study, Xiao Qi had already put away the secret radio station.

"What did Queen say?"

"Agree to meet in another place, go down at two o'clock tomorrow, the hot spring club opposite the racetrack, he is in box 003." Little Seven Ways.

"Hot springs?" Chen Miao was stunned.

"Yes."

Chen Miao muttered in his heart, he had basically determined that "Queen" was a woman, and now she actually invited her to soak in the hot spring with her, what did she think?

"Okay, I know, when will the ship of the guest we are going to pick up arrive in Shanghai?"

"It should be around 5 p.m., but the southeast monsoon has been blowing recently, so if the ship comes from Nagasaki, it may slow down against the wind." Little Seven Ways.

"I'll inquire tomorrow to see when the ship will leave Nagasaki, and then estimate the time." Chen Miao commanded.

"Okay."

Tomorrow is the twenty-ninth of the lunar month, and the day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, so that all the staff on the 76th are on holiday, which is unrealistic, and can only implement shift rest, and once there is something, it is also on call, even Chen Miao has arranged for duty.

After all, for such a big festival, there are still a lot of activities and banquets.

Even if you have to go to the battlefield tomorrow, you have to live today's life, not to mention, this is a concession that is drunk and dreaming of death, and it seems to be peaceful and prosperous.

Bai Lu, a well-known female writer in Shanghai, has sharp words and direct to the hearts of the people, with this strong appeal, and is ranked with another female writer, a talented woman.

Chen Miao was also quite shocked that such a woman actually appeared on No. 76, but her relationship with Lin Shiqun was not the kind of crooked improper relationship between men and women.

Instead, people have long had some relationship with Lin Shiqun in the past, and Chen Miao is not easy to inquire about the specific relationship.

This matter has nothing to do with him for the time being, and he doesn't want to meddle in things, and his mess of trouble hasn't been solved yet.

……

The next day at work, when it was almost time to eat in the morning, Han Laosi pushed the door in and reported: "Third brother, I found one thing, Miss Mingzhu went out today." ”

"Oh?"

"You sent someone to follow?"

"Well, guess where Miss Pearl has gone?" Han Laosi deliberately sold a Guan Zidao.

"How do I know?" Chen Miao said angrily.

"Miss Mingzhu is resting today, and she left Huacun by car early in the morning, first on Xiafei Road in the French Concession, and then on Nanjing Road......"

"She went to Daxin and went to the sweater department?" Chen Miao asked.

"Sure, she also bought two sweaters in the sweater department, one is yellow and the other is gray, and the person who received her is Miss Lu Hui."

"Is Chen Mingchu following?"

"No, but a driver and bodyguards were sent to follow." Han Lao Sidao.

"Are you sure the men you sent to follow you haven't been discovered?"

"Third brother, I am a person seconded from the Inspector Brigade, the tracking technique is taught by you, if it is Commissioner Chen, the probability of being found is very high, but if it is Miss Mingzhu, it will be difficult to find." Han Laosi explained.

……

Wah Chuen, in the residence of Chen Mingchu.

There was a sound of "Didi" outside the courtyard, and Chen Mingchu, who was lying in the courtyard basking in the sun, slowly opened his eyes, he knew that it was his sister Chen Mingzhu who came back.

In addition to the bodyguards and drivers, the family also invited a number of servants, in their forties, to come to the house to clean, cook and do chores, this Chen Mingzhu works in the inspector's office, naturally he can't be distracted to take care of him, and if he doesn't invite someone to come back to cook, Chen Mingchu is afraid that he won't even be able to eat.

"Mother Liu, open the door." Chen Mingchu commanded.

"Ugh." Liu's mother agreed, put down her work, trotted all the way over, and opened the gate of the yard.

The car drove in from outside, and after it was parked, Chen Mingchu, who was wearing a dark blue tweed jacket, got out of the car wearing a playful peaked cap, if he wasn't wearing women's clothes, he really looked like a tomboy.

"Mother Liu, are you ready?" Chen Mingzhu glanced at Chen Mingchu, walked in directly from him, and asked the maid Wu's mother.

"Just now, Sir really said, Miss should come back for lunch."

"Well, I bought a lot of things, there are food, and it's useful, Mother Liu, your Huzi doesn't like to eat Xinghualou's mille-feuille crisp, I bought you two catties, and I'll go back and bring it to your Huzi."

"Oh, the mille-feuille of Xinghualou is expensive, thank you so much Miss Mingzhu......" Mother Liu smiled instantly when she heard this.

"Mother Liu, you are too polite, you are Zhang Luo inside and outside the house, a little snack is nothing, if it weren't for the big rules of Huacun, it would be good to take Huzi over to keep the New Year with us." Chen Mingzhu snorted and said.

"Miss, don't be angry with Mr., he is really good to you, Mother Liu, I have also worked as a cook for several people in the past, you and Mr. are the kindest I have ever met." Mother Liu said as many nice words as she could.

"Okay, let's eat, after eating, I still have to go to visit the City God Temple in Shanghai......"

Chen Mingchu smiled bitterly, leaned on a cane, moved his steps into the restaurant, and slowly walked to his place at the table and sat down.

"Someone saw it?" Seeing that Liu's mother went to the kitchen to pick up the food, Chen Mingchu asked softly and quietly.

"Hmm." Chen Mingzhu nodded lightly.

"What did she say?"

"She said that if Brother Liu really went to look for her, she would not go to see him." Chen Mingzhu whispered.

"That's good, Chen Sanshui is thoughtful, his people should still be monitoring Lu Hui's every move, if Liu Guoxing falls into the ......" Seeing Liu's mother coming in with the dishes, Chen Mingchu immediately closed his mouth.

Although Liu Ma, the servant, was found by him, who can guarantee that her identity is so simple?

"Sir, miss, it's time to eat."

"Mother Liu, what about the tea tree mushroom soup that Miss likes to eat?" Chen Mingchu glanced at the dishes on the table, raised his eyes, and asked?

"Oh, it's boiling on the stove, I'll go and bring it to Miss." Mother Liu nodded hurriedly in agreement, turned around and went back to the kitchen.

"Daxin Department Store, don't go again, I will send you to the inspectorate, this is a dangerous move, although it can reduce Chen Sanshui's suspicion of you, but this person, I have never been able to see through his mind, a person who has been on the cold bench in the military command for five years, but he has no complaints, and when he arrives at No. 76, he has risen like a rocket, doing things so sophisticated, and he does not leak, it is perfect." Chen Mingchu exclaimed.

"Brother, if you really want to change your ways, why don't you find a chance for us to leave together?"

"Little sister, my brother has my brother's difficulties, if I didn't agree to join at the beginning, my brother's little life would be gone, can you bear to see my brother die like this?" Chen Mingchu said, "Brother is actually a false and wronged snake on No. 76, don't you see, I don't have any power now?" ”

"I'm afraid of death and make so many excuses." Chen Mingzhu snorted.
