Chapter 14: Worst Case
Under the scorching sun, the asphalt road is hot and the feet are burning when it is stepped on.
There are not many pedestrians on the street, and the leaves are all wilted.
"Section Chief, can this young man Yuan Jie do it?" On the roof of the department store across the road from Huiquanlou, Tan Wenbin, the head of the operation team under Chen Mingchu, slapped Chen Mingchu in a scent.
"Can you use female artists like Liang Xueqin who have a wide influence in Shanghai?" Chen Mingchu was dressed in gray short-sleeved clothes and sat under the cool umbrella, so that he could let the young master Yuan Jie come forward.
Compared with him, this guy has a much lower IQ. He agreed with everything after a little bit of a word.
"Section Chief, look, Liang Xueqin came out of the back door..." A spy holding a telescope shouted.
Upon hearing this, Chen Mingchu snatched the telescope from the spy's hand and looked at the back door of Huiquan Building. He saw Liang Xueqin pulling a little girl and running out of the alley in panic.
The back door of Huiquan Building faces an alley. After Liang Xueqin and Qiaoer came out of the back door, they immediately ran along the alley towards Nanjing Road.
On Nanjing Road, there were Indian policemen who were patrolling. No matter how brave Yuan Jie was, he did not dare to have direct conflicts with the concession policemen.
This is a very correct operation.
"What's going on? Why is there no one arranged for the back door of Huiquan Building?" Chen Mingchu turned around angrily and questioned the organization's action and said.
Tan Wenbin's face was swollen and hesitated, not knowing how to answer.
"Section Chief, Mr. Yuan and the others have also come out, from the main entrance..."
"What a bad guy. Everyone ran through the back door. He came out of the front door and went in a completely different way. Yuan Gong was smart for a lifetime. Why did he give birth to such a stupid son?" Chen Mingchu smashed the cement railing with annoyance, "Let's go, Yuan Jie is unreliable, we can only do it ourselves."
"Section Chief, didn't you say you can't use force against Miss Liang?" asked one of his subordinates.
Chen Mingchu glared at him fiercely: "Don't you understand this at this moment, then at that moment?"
...
In the backstage of Huiquanlou performance, with the help of the manager and others, Chen Miao was helped to sit on the chair. Although he tried his best to protect the wound on his left shoulder, it still cracked. Fortunately, the gauze was tightly bandaged and it was impossible to see outside.
"Boss Fang, I'm so sorry for you. I'm sorry for this injury. Is it okay? Should I go and find a doctor to show you?" The manager looked apologetic. The businessman was very particular about not fighting with officials. Although Yuan Jie is not a person in the officialdom, he has great energy. Not to mention that Huiquanlou can't afford to offend, how many people can offend this Shanghai?
"It's okay, skin trauma, is there any water?" Chen Miao wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth. These people were really cruel. If it weren't for their target, he might have lost it here today, but skin trauma would have been inevitable.
“Yes, yes…”
"Boss Fang, you drink water." The manager took the teacup from the clerk and handed it over.
Chen Miao took it, took two big sips in a row, and gasped and said, "Okay, the big manager, let everyone go, everyone do their own things."
"Boss Fang, this Young Master Yuan has told me..." The manager wanted to speak but stopped.
"Why, big manager, can you really keep me?" Chen Miao's eyes suddenly became cold. If those people just now hadn't been concerned about Liang Xueqin's safety and unable to reveal their identities, these bodyguards would be his opponents?
"No, no, you misunderstood. Do I think you are seriously injured or go to the hospital for a look?" The manager was also a smart person. When he turned his eyes, he thought of a solution.
"Well, I'm going to the hospital for a look. My ribs hurt so much." Chen Miao saw the big manager blinking at him, and immediately understood it. He suddenly stroked his chest and pretended to be unbearable pain.
"Hurry up, come and lift Boss Fang up and send him to the hospital quickly. This is the person that Mr. Yuan wants. But no one can live. We can't afford to take care of..." The manager hurriedly shouted.
As long as this person arrives at the hospital, he will not be involved in Huiquanlou's affairs.
...
In fact, before the person arrived at the hospital, Chen Miao ran away halfway. He didn't have time to go to the hospital for a walk and then come out. He had to listen to Xuelou as soon as possible to confirm the safety of Liang Xueqin and Qiaoer.
Yuan Jie's sudden attack today made him smell something wrong.
According to his understanding of Yuan Jie, Liang Xueqin performed in Huiquan Tower today, and he should appear and support him as soon as possible, but until the end of the performance.
He didn't see Yuan Jie in the audience.
Just after the performance, he suddenly appeared in the backstage and rushed into the backstage with his bodyguards. His posture clearly planned to force the person away from the beginning.
Yuan Jie's personality is very familiar, high-profile, ostentatious, and extremely strongly possessive.
Usually, when he saw Liang Xueqin or when he was alone, the bodyguards were not allowed to approach, but this time it was obviously different.
Not only did his bodyguard come in, but after he came in, he vaguely restricted Liang Xueqin and Qiaoer's masters and servants to a relatively small space.
This was clearly premeditated.
Yuan Jie claimed to be a gentleman (this guy once studied in the UK). He once said that he wanted Liang Xueqin to fall in love with him and willingly marry into the Yuan family.
This seems to be contrary to his original intention of the external declaration at the beginning, or is it that he has completely lost patience with the capturing of Liang Xueqin's heart and intends to use the strong one directly?
A person's behavior pattern will not suddenly change so quickly, and there has been no intense and unpleasant things before.
So, there can only be another reason.
The biggest possibility is that someone stimulated Yuan Jie's sensitive nerves and prompted him to do such extreme behavior. Who is this person?
Chen Mingchu!
Ding Mohan on No. 76 is a guest of honor for the old man of Yuan Jie's family, and Chen Mingchu has now become Ding Mohan's person. It is not too difficult for Chen Mingchu to get in touch with Yuan Jie.
Chen Mingchu knew about his relationship with Liang Xueqin. If he used this to stimulate Yuan Jie, he would not be able to make Yuan Jie do such irrational actions.
As Liang Xueqin's identity, No. 76 did not dare to attack openly, so he could only secretly tie people up. Yuan Jie was likely to be used by Chen Mingchu and became his shield.
But Chen Mingchu never expected that Yuan Jie had brought so many people but could not take Liang Xueqin away from Tingyu Tower, right?
In this way, Chen Mingchu might do it directly by himself.
Anyway, if something happens, Yuan Jie will take the blame.
Chen Miao was really worried that although Liang Xueqin and Qiaoer had escaped from Huiquan Tower, Chen Mingchu was not Yuan Jie. It is hard to say whether he would directly rob people.
The worst must be planned!
Chen Miao hurried to Tingxue Tower.
When he knocked on the back door, Lao Cai, who opened the door, was surprised: "Third brother, what's wrong with your face? Why are you back alone?"
As soon as Chen Miao saw Lao Cai's surprised expression, he knew that the worst thing had happened. He delayed for a while in Huiquan Tower, and was arranged by the chief manager to take him to the hospital and left halfway.
This was delayed for at least a quarter of an hour.
If Liang Xueqin and Qiaoer had returned directly from Huiquan Tower, they would have arrived long ago unless they had no money on them and could not take the rickshaw, so they could only walk back.
Of course he hoped it would be the latter situation.
"It's too hot, I feel a little uncomfortable, so I come back first. Xueqin and Qiaoer stayed in Huiquan Tower. There are other artists performing in the afternoon. They want to stay and observe and learn, and come back later." Chen Miao could only lie first.
"Third brother, do you want to take a break?"
"No, I dropped my sunglasses when I came in the morning, I'll come and take them." Chen Miao explained casually.
"That's right, then I'll take you over. Boss Qin's attic, except you and Qiao'er, no one else can enter." Lao Cai took Chen Miao into the back door without doubting him.
Chen Miao went upstairs and took off his disguise. He hurriedly came down and said to Lao Cai: "Old Cai, Xueqin is back. Tell her and I will take away the sunglasses."
"Okay, it's time for dinner, brother, I'm going to stay for dinner together?" Old Cai kindly tried to keep it.
"No, I have something to do in the afternoon." Chen Miao was worried. He still had time to stay for dinner. If Chen Mingchu kidnapped Liang Xueqin, it would be a bad result.
If it was Yuan Jie, it would be troublesome. If Yuan Jie did something bad, even if he killed this bastard, he would not be able to recover the harm.
After coming out of Tingxue Tower and not walking far, Chen Miao found that he was being followed again. He stopped, pulled down his sunglasses, and observed it. It was the guy who had been following him all day the day before yesterday.
Although he changed his outfit and wore a hat, Chen Miao's memory was so good that he recognized it all at once.
Based on his understanding of Chen Mingchu, even if he plans to use Liang Xueqin to force him to submit, he will definitely find a way to control himself first.
Therefore, the person who is following must not be Chen Mingchu's subordinates.
But in this Shanghai, who else is interested in me besides No. 76? Japanese Xiante? It doesn’t look like Japanese plainclothes.
Of course, the Japanese army has many spies in Shanghai and is not affiliated with each other. It is not impossible to be targeted. However, the Japanese spies are not patient in doing things, so they don’t look like them.
This is strange.
Liang Xueqin and Qiaoer did not return safely for a moment, and he couldn't let it go.
There is no one around you who can negotiate. Most of the time it is like this. He is like a lonely traveler. Not only does he have to bear huge pressure, but sometimes he also needs to adapt to changes, analyze himself, judge himself, and then make choices.
...
"Captain Wu, I am now at the convenience store opposite the Oriental Hotel on Sanma Road. I saw him entering the hotel..."
"Okay, understand, understand."
Behind the curtains in the room upstairs, although Chen Miao couldn't hear what the tail, who came back with him, was talking on the phone, but he could guess it.
Tail put down the phone, observed the cars and people on the road, and came towards the gate of the Oriental Hotel.
Chen Miao quickly went downstairs with the box.
Tail had already entered the hotel lobby and was talking to the client at the front desk. He probably asked about the number of the room he lived in. Suddenly, he saw Chen Miao going downstairs, and he was so scared that he looked panicked.
Chen Miao quickly walked out, and a rickshaw stopped. He raised his foot, got in, and quickly drove into the crowd on the street.
When the little tail rushed out of it, he found that Chen Miao was gone long ago.
In fact, the rickshaw didn't walk far, and turned into an alley. Chen Miao got out of the car and gently patted the young rickshaw driver's shoulder.
"Third brother, what's the matter?" Xiaoqi looked up and smiled.
"Did you know how to do it?"
"I know, third brother, don't worry, this is not a problem for me." Xiao Qi smiled, showed a row of bright white teeth, and pulled the rickshaw away quickly.
Chen Miao understood that the person who followed and monitored him must not be Chen Mingchu's subordinates. Whose person would be? Could it be the person arranged by Lao Zheng?
Although the Military Control Commission has a tradition of investigating oneself with each other, it seems that there is no need to use it on itself?
