Chapter 250 Life is so unsatisfactory, living depends on acting
When Mutian heard Yingzi say that Pete's car was at the repair shop and couldn't get it out tomorrow, he made an appointment to meet at the new house. He thought to himself that this guy must have bought a house and was playing a "surprise" trick.
There was a calculation in my mind.
He told Lu Zhiqiang to go to the new house together tomorrow, and everyone on the spot would act according to his wishes.
Everyone didn't know what he was going to do, but since he didn't say anything, the camera would only move when the time comes.
It was Yingzi who said that Peter seemed unwilling to see you, maybe because he wanted to prevent the new house from having anything to do with you.
Mu Tian smiled and said: "You are stupid, this is called playing hard to get. What he wants is that this house has something to do with me. You forgot that your dowry is still in my hand."
Yingzi suddenly realized, smiled sweetly and was about to leave.
Lu Zhiqiang heard the meaning of Yingzi buying a house and said that he could give her a set of mahogany furniture.
Yingzi couldn't tell, that house was sold with furniture. The furniture in the original house was also made of mahogany.
Lu Zhiqiang said, you can say that you don't like the original style and want to get a new set. You ask Peter to sell the old one. You will lose the money and I will give you a new set. Wouldn't this make a deep impression?
Mu Tian suddenly discovered that Lu Zhiqiang was also a master of middle school, so he said that this was possible.
At this time, Huang Zunzhen called and said that he was at Elbow Beach and that all dock matters had been settled. He would leave for Nanjing tomorrow to pick up the ship. It would be best to have a few soldiers go with him. There would be people along the way.
If there is an accident, it will be easy to deal with.
Mu Tian thought it made sense, so he called Gao Dalie and asked him to come to Yiheju for a drink in the evening and talk about the next move.
When Gao Dalie heard that there was a drink, he happily agreed.
Mu Tian asked him to bring a squad of soldiers to him to borrow for a few days.
Gao Dalie said there was no problem, just a company would be fine.
As soon as Lu Zhiqiang heard that Gao Dalie was coming, he said that he wouldn't leave at night and that everyone would have a drink together.
Mu Tian also wanted him to stay and discuss it together, but he couldn't help but mocked: "It seems that there are no frozen abalones in Yiheju."
Lu Zhiqiang knew he was joking and didn't pay attention. He just said, "Let's meet old friends, have wine and tell stories."
…
Qiao Shiyou said goodbye to Eiichi Kuai and Zhang Jiayong, rushed back to Qiao's mansion, and hurriedly packed his luggage. He was moving to Hengchang Apartment.
He has always kept an apartment there, right next to Fandry. Now that he has agreed to move the land and has actually started operating it, Eiichi Kuai has assigned four Japanese ronin bodyguards for him to be in place, and he is living in Fandry.
In the original room, it would be very inconvenient for me to live in Qiao Mansion anymore, and my safety would not be guaranteed. Also, this kid Mu Tian actually moved into Qiao Mansion. Sooner or later, his secret would be exposed. Even if it was not exposed,
It's not easy to live in fear every day. And there is Hao Mingzhen, who never knows when she will get mad and say something inappropriate, which will make people take advantage of her.
There are people you can't afford to mess with all around, so it's better to stay away.
He suddenly realized that the carving knife he had kept was missing. It was the only evidence of Fan Derui's actions left in Peng County. He was so shocked that he broke into a cold sweat and hurriedly called Geng Yibiao and asked if Mu Tian was in the house.
Geng Yibiao was very surprised. He was still working at the detective agency since he was working at midnight now. Why did the second master ask such a question?
If we usually mentioned detective agency, no one would care. But today, when he heard the word detective agency, Qiao Shiyou actually broke out in a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.
Geng Yibiao was confused for a while.
Qiao Shiyou had no intention of chatting with Geng Yibiao. He didn't want to see him at all, so he sent him to do other things. Then he rushed to the east wing of the room where he used to live and searched carefully. Where was the trace of the carving knife?
He was even more horrified, and hurriedly came out, carrying his extremely simple luggage, hurriedly left Qiao Mansion, called a rickshaw, and went straight to Hengchang Apartment.
…
As soon as Gao Dalie entered the private room and saw that the food and wine had not been touched, he was overjoyed and asked Mu Tian why he wanted soldiers. He brought an intensive class and asked him if it was enough.
Mu Tian said enough, and soon the troops came. They just went to Nanjing to pick up two ships to escort the ships. Each time they went back, they were given ten oceans each.
When Gao Dalie heard this, he knew that the matter in Yongning had already taken shape, and that the free ferry to Elbow Beach was also in progress, so he asked again: "Why didn't you notify me of the payment? Your project has already started."
Mu Tian said: "You don't need it now, there is still money. But how is your gold mine going now? The next crucial scene is about to begin."
Gao Dalie said that according to Mu Tian's instructions, everything has been arranged. We are just waiting for the show to start.
Lu Zhiqiang got acquainted with Gao Dalie over time, so he jokingly said, "As a leader, you are afraid that your performance will be ruined by then."
Gao Dalie said with disdain, "Brother, I have never acted badly in these years. From asking for military pay to reporting disability, it has always been just right. If you don't believe me, go ask around in the army and see.
How about me, Gao Dalie? Let me tell you, life is so unsatisfactory, and living depends entirely on acting! This is the only truth I have realized in my life to this day. Recently, there was a letter saying that they will give me a temporary job in Shanghai.
The chairman of the committee is doing it. I’m still stretching them. It’s just acting. Who doesn’t know how to do this?”
When Mu Tian heard this, he said, "Listen to my brother, no matter whose truth it is, don't do this. It's best to stretch it as long as you can. Lin Xiao, do you know?"
Gao Dalie said: "Of course I know. You are right, I have the same idea. I have thought about it for a long time and don't know how Zhai Shanying's scene will end, that is, what is our exit mechanism? Everyone says that everything is difficult at the beginning.
But the things I encountered are not difficult at all at the beginning. As long as you have the courage and determination, you can start with just a stamp of your feet, but it is very difficult for you to end it. Isn't it Inspector Mu?"
Mu Tian smiled and said: "That's right. But I haven't thought about it yet. Let's just do it and think about it."
The three of them were lost in thought.
Huang Zunqi knocked on the door and came in, greeting Gao Dalie and Lu Zhiqiang.
Mu Tian introduced them to them, and asked him to go to the private room outside to get acquainted with the soldiers who had strengthened the squad. After dinner, he took him to be resettled and went with him to pick up the ship in Nanjing tomorrow.
Huang Zunzhen said, "Come over for a toast later," and then went out to find those soldiers to communicate with each other.
Gao Dalie looked at the time and asked if anyone else was coming.
Mu Tian said: "A good friend has something to say. Just wait a moment." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a knock on the door, and then Liu Qinghuai opened the door and walked in.
Mu Tian hurriedly introduced them, and the three of them exchanged a "long admiration" for each other. Liu Qinghuai said politely: "I told you not to wait for me, but you guys are still so polite."
As he said this, he picked up his glass and wanted to toast everyone because he was late.
Seeing Liu Qinghuai's military temperament, Gao Dalie naturally felt that he had the right temperament, so he had a drink with him.
This is where the banquet begins.
After drinking for three rounds, Liu Qinghuai pulled Mu Tian to sit on the sofa next to him and told him in a low voice about the Queen Elizabeth transporting military supplies across the border.
Mu Tian looked at Liu Qinghuai helplessly and said: "Brother Liu, we don't carry anything like this. I just set up Yongning Steamship Company to run inland water transportation, and now you have the task of transporting military supplies across the border. How can you handle it?"
, or will it count?" His words were full of helplessness.
Liu Qinghuai smiled and patted his shoulder, "Those who are capable should work harder."
"Okay, okay, there are still more than twenty days anyway. We can think about it in the long term. When I finish the things at hand, I will plan your matter."
Liu Qinghuai knew Mu Tian's attitude towards the mission of the Institute of International Studies, and did not bother with the details of his words. He just said that the key to the mission was the section from Huangpu Pier to the entrance of Suzhou River. Two Japanese warships were parked here. How could they get around it?
That's the key.
Mu Tian reassured him and said he would definitely find a solution.
Huang Zunyi came in, toasted one by one, and left with the soldiers in the reinforced class.
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Liu Qinghuai was anxious to go back and revive Lu Pengzhi, so he took his leave and went back.
Mu Tian sent him downstairs and discussed some details of transporting military supplies below, before Liu Qinghuai said goodbye and left.
After Mu Tian came up, he drank with Gao Dalie and Lu Zhiqiang for a few more rounds, and then they dispersed.
Mu Tian heard from Gao Dalie that the fifth concubine was married to a painter named Li Heshou. The two went to Peking and were about to go to the United States. He was stimulated by Lu Zhiqiang's ninth concubine lying on the train, so he thought of asking about the whereabouts of the fifth concubine.
of.
Mu Tian was very pleased to hear the news.
…
When Mu Tian returned to Qixingli, Hu Ti and Yingzi were still awake and drinking on the platform as usual.
Hu Ti saw Mu Tian drinking, but still asked him to drink some more with him and Yingzi.
Hu Ti said that he missed his mother and his second mother.
Mu Tian thought to himself, they are brothers after all, and they all think about the same thing at critical moments.
He told Hu Ti that he was planning to ask Hu Ti to make arrangements in the past two days, and then go back to his hometown to bring his aunt and second mother to Shanghai. He looked at Shanghai under the night sky, with the lights dimmed, and said quietly: "Some things are...
There needs to be an end to this."
When Hu Ti heard this, he took out the carving knife from his pocket and looked at it.
Mu Tian looked at the carving knife in Hu Ti's hand in silence, and the situation in Peng County that day flashed clearly before his eyes again.
When he thought of Peng County, he suddenly had a thought: What should I do with Ye Zi?
If the aunt wanted Hu Ti to abide by the engagement, what should Hu Ti do? She had already learned from Liu Qinghuai and Fang Fanglong that Otani Hidemi had committed suicide by jumping into the sea.
Otani Hideki committed suicide because he couldn't find the home of his soul. The reason why he held his mother's ashes was because in his mind, he didn't know where his mother should belong.
Therefore, he chose the high seas and also chose the high seas for his mother.
Otani Hidemi will never come back, what about Ouyang Hui?
Should I tell her this cruel news, and when should I tell her?
Should I tell Hu Ti about this now?
Mu Tian hesitated.
Yingzi seems to be very quiet today. What is she thinking about? The house tomorrow? Bought it, failed to buy it? How should she face what happens next? Can she cope with it?
Mu Tian began to doubt the rationality of his methods in this series of operations.
Does Peake’s “collateral damage” theory really make sense? Will you regret it in the future?
