Chapter 211 Lead the snake out of the hole
Mingcheng is repairing the pen. He carefully clamps the pen in a mold, melts a gold wire with a blowtorch, picks up a little bit with a needle, dips it into the nib, and waits for it to cool.

Someone knocked on the door, and Mingcheng called "Come in", busy with his work without looking up.Aunt Gui put the lotus seed soup in her hand on the table, Mingcheng raised her head abruptly and stood up, saying, "Haven't you rested yet?"

Aunt Gui said: "It's cold, I made lotus seed stew for you, you can eat a bowl while it's hot."

"Thank you." Mingcheng sat down and began to eat lotus seed soup.

Aunt Gui looked at the scattered parts on the table and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Pen repair." Ah Cheng said while eating: "The nib of the Parker gold pen used by the elder brother is severely worn out, so I will re-inlay it with gold."

Aunt Gui looked at the pen and asked, "Is this fixed?"

"It's still one step away, I have to grind it with fine sandpaper, and it will be fine."

"It's so troublesome, why don't you buy two more and exchange them?"

"Yes, there are. Two or three pens are used alternately from time to time. It's just that my elder brother is used to this Parker pen. It has been used for a long time and has feelings."

Aunt Gui nodded and said, "That's true, objects will become spiritual after a long time."

After Mingcheng finished eating the lotus seed soup, he picked up the fine sandpaper and continued to grind the nib.

"Ah Cheng, I want to ask you, are you in any trouble? You must borrow money from Mr. Gui." Aunt Gui was still worried, "Tell me what you said, I will try my best to help you."

Mingcheng stared at Aunt Gui with distrust, but didn't answer.

"Your behavior has been quite arrogant recently, don't you think? What you have done is far beyond the duty of a servant. The eldest lady is generous, so she didn't say anything about you. The husband may already be very dissatisfied with you. He made small moves under his nose and made a lot of money..."

Before he finished speaking, Mingcheng said impatiently: "Enough, enough."

"Acheng?"

"Don't teach me! I know what I'm doing." Mingcheng scolded: "Let me just say it, I want to earn a lot of money as soon as possible, and then leave the Ming family."

"why?"

"No reason, I have worked hard for more than 20 years, I am tired, I want to live my own life!"

"That's right."

"of course."

"It's your fault that you are eager for quick success."

"Am I in a hurry?"

"of course."

"I have my reasons."

"Can you tell me?"

"No."

"We are mother and son."

"Why did you hate me so much back then?"

Aunt Gui was stunned, and said in a low voice: "I... I am sick, the doctor said I have persecution paranoia."

Mingcheng said: "That's right, I don't believe it!"

Aunt Gui said with guilt all over her face, "I know, I'm sorry for you."

"Don't, don't bring up old things again."

"It was you who mentioned it." Aunt Gui also said a little excitedly: "I just want to help you."

"Please, don't help me anymore. I'm just fighting for my own rights, and don't look at me with tears in my eyes, pretending to be the Virgin Mary."

Aunt Gui was completely enraged, and said coldly, "I think I came here by mistake."

Mingcheng remained silent, suddenly felt that what he just said was too serious, but he still refused to bow his head.

"I wish you an early success." Aunt Gui said helplessly, then turned and walked out.

Mingcheng closed the door, took a deep breath, and immediately felt a sense of relief.

Lin Mu was walking on the street with a newspaper wrapped in his hand. When he saw two neat rows of buildings, he stopped and stopped until he saw the number plate of No. 137 Wukang Road. He scanned the surrounding environment before walking up the steps. Knocked on the door.

Lin Mu looked around the room, the furniture was very ordinary, and the red paint on the floor was a little peeling.Pushing open the window, the wind blows in, and the cold wind hits the Mingtai door directly.Lin Mu's eyes looked at the house number of the opposite building: Wukang Road Apartment No. 28, and he made a subconscious aiming action.

The door of No. 28 Wukang Road opened, and Lin Mu came out with a bunch of keys in his hands. He stood in front of the door and looked back at the two rows of houses in front of him, puzzled.

The streets were bustling and the trams wobbled.Lin Mu walked through the crowd with a pasted oil painting in his hand, Cheng Jinyun crossed the crowd and walked into Mingtai's field of vision.When the two passed by, Cheng Jinyun already had a bunch of keys in his hand, and they walked away from each other.

Lin Mu stood on the high stool to hang the oil painting, and Ah Xiang stood underneath to see the angle for him: "The left side is higher, the left side, okay, don't move."

Mingcheng took two pieces of fabric and came down from upstairs, saw Lin Mu climbing up, and said, "Mingtai, be careful not to fall."

Lin Mu let out a "hmm" and continued to hang the painting.

"By the way, Mingtai, the coffee machine at home is broken, please fix it when you have time." Mingcheng said again.

Lin Mu let out an "oh".

Mingcheng handed the two pieces of fabric in his hand to Aunt Gui and said, "These are two pieces of fabric from the Xiangyi Silk Shop. You can use them to make two good cheongsams, cotton gowns are also fine."

Aunt Gui said in surprise, "I, I don't need it."

"Not for you, but for me."

Aunt Gui was even more surprised.

"My adoptive mother is dressed like this, I can't afford to lose her." Ah Cheng said in a cold tone.

Mingcheng's words made Lin Mu and Axiang pause, and Axiang looked back at Aunt Gui, feeling that Acheng was a little too much.

"Ah Cheng!" Ming Lou did not know when he was standing behind Ming Cheng.Mingcheng was yelled at by Minglou, lowered his head, and took two steps back.

Minglou reprimanded in a low voice: "Get out."

Mingcheng lowered his head and strode out.

Minglou comforted Aunt Gui and said, "Don't take it to heart, I'll talk about him later."

"I can't blame my children for what I have done myself."

"He may not know how to get along with you yet, take your time, trust me."

With tears in her eyes, Aunt Gui nodded and said, "Thank you sir."

After Lin Mu hung the painting firmly, he jumped off the stool and called, "Brother."

Minglou looked up at the oil painting, and praised: "You are such a good boy, please review your homework more at home."

"Yes, brother, go slowly."

Aunt Gui was kneading two pieces of high-quality cloth in her hands, and there was a gloomy light in her eyes.Lin Mu looked at the people in the room and walked upstairs slowly.

Mingcheng stood on the lawn path waiting for Minglou, saw Minglou coming out, and went up to meet him. "It's a bit too much." Ming Lou said.

"Time is running out, let's try strong medicine."

"Pay attention to details, don't rush for results."

"I need to look for hints of 'lone wolf' in Yoko Minamida's attitude towards me."

Ming Lou nodded and said, "Well, we have to hurry up with Yoko Nantian. Did Staff Officer Lin reply?"

"Staff Lin and his tactical team are on standby from the ancient city of Chuansha. Everything is normal."

Mingcheng opened the car door for Minglou, and Minglou said: "Okay, this time we have made steady progress step by step. We can't take any risks. After determining the target course of action, we will deal with Nantian Yoko and Xu He to avoid future troubles." After finishing speaking, Minglou got into the car.Mingcheng closed the car door for him, got in the car and started the engine, and left the Ming mansion.
