Mi Xaing 'er pushed the door open. As soon as she entered the courtyard, she felt a gust of wind behind her before she could even steady herself …
She reacted quickly. She lowered her head and dodged to the side, taking the opportunity to glance behind her. She saw a shadow standing in the darkness. She couldn't see his face clearly, but his eyes were as black and bright as gemstones.
In the blink of an eye, the shadow pounced on her and choked her.
He was getting closer …
Mi Xaing 'er finally saw clearly that the person opposite her was a man of about 30 years old. Under the dim street lights, she could vaguely see a green dragon embroidered on his left sleeve.
When the man saw her face, he was also stunned … His grip loosened involuntarily, and he asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
Mi Xaing 'er didn't answer … The most important thing now was to protect herself. She didn't want to be controlled by a man for no reason.
Without another word, she raised her leg and aimed a kick at the man's lower abdomen.
The man's movements were also fast. He was probably a martial arts practitioner. He deftly protected his lower abdomen with one hand and snorted darkly. "Yo, you're ruthless!"
He leaned forward, grabbed Mi Xaing 'er's arm, and was about to twist it … Suddenly, he heard a noise behind him. Then, there was a "smack" sound, and a bowl of hot wonton was poured on his head.
Xu Jingya came back. When she saw Mi Xaing 'er fighting with the man, she didn't hesitate and attacked with both arms. Although it was a lady's move, it had its own "pattern" and shouldn't be underestimated.
The man couldn't dodge in time. The necklace on his neck was pulled off by Xu Jingya, and it fell to the ground with a "thud".
Xu Jingya looked down and couldn't help but let out an "eh" sound. When she looked up at the man again, her expression changed. "Your … surname is Mo?"
The man was stunned. "You know me?"
"You're Mo Dongyang? You're the ninth child in the family and have eight older sisters. Is your father Mo Dong? "
"Uh, yes! You are … "
Xu Jingya hurriedly took half a step back. "This is really like a flood rushing against the Dragon King's temple! Dongyang, I'm the fifth aunt of the Xu family. Your father used to work for my father. I was the one who named you, and I was the one who gave you this jade pendant … Do you still remember? "
Mo Dongyang scrutinized Xu Jingya with the help of the street lamp. His eyes widened in disbelief. "It's true! Fifth Aunt, why did you come to Shanghai? "
She sighed again. "You seem to have changed a lot. You've lost weight too!"
Xu Jingya smiled helplessly. "How can I not change it? How many years has it been? The last time I saw you, you were only 15 years old … Now you must be 28, right? Thirteen years! It was too fast! I didn't attend your father's funeral either. I can't help it! "
It turned out to be an acquaintance.
Mi Xaing 'er stood at the side and roughly sized up Mo Dongyang …
His back was straight, and he had a medium build. He was lean and didn't look like he had any muscles, but in reality, his body was full of muscles.
His looks were only above average. He definitely couldn't compare to Tong Che and Yun Jingting. However, his eyes were really eye-catching … His eyelids were single and the ends of his eyes were slightly upturned. He looked a little sly. Upon closer inspection, his eyes were bright. There was a hint of righteousness in his devilish aura, and a hint of wickedness in his righteous aura. At first glance, this person was a difficult character to deal with.
While she was scrutinizing Mo Dongyang, he was also scrutinizing her. "Fifth Aunt, this young lady is …"
Xu Jingya hurriedly introduced her. "She's Mi Xaing 'er, my daughter-in-law! Um … I brought her to Shanghai to stay for a while. Why are you in the courtyard? "
Mo Dongyang pondered for a moment … Perhaps there was something he wanted to hide. He paused for a moment, then said perfunctorily, "I recently offended a group of people and had nowhere to hide. Since this courtyard is empty and the environment is quieter, I came here! When my father was still alive, he always brought me here to tidy up the house. I have the keys too! "
Xu Jingya nodded. "This courtyard has been taken care of by your father for so many years! Hey, let's not stand here and talk. Look, you still have wonton soup on you. Hurry up and take off your clothes to wash up! "
Mo Dongyang took off his jacket and casually threw it into the basin in the courtyard. He then turned on the tap and filled half the basin with water. After soaking himself in it, he walked a few steps forward and bent down to lead Xu Jingya into the house … From his actions, it seemed like he was a sensible person who paid attention to seniority.
The three of them entered the house together … Mi Xaing 'er roughly looked around. The courtyard was well-spaced and the flowers and plants were luxuriantly green. There were three large tile-roofed houses with bright windows and clean tables. The rooms were spotless and had all the necessities available. It was obvious that someone had taken good care of them on a daily basis.
Xu Jingya did not stand on ceremony and sat down first. "Dongyang, how's your family?"
Mo Dongyang stood aside obediently with his hands hanging by his sides. "Um! It's alright. My father passed away five years ago. My old friends from the gang helped to hold a grand funeral. It's considered a complete life! "
Gang?
Mi Xaing 'er understood the moment she heard this … The Mo family probably used to be in the underworld and were probably not easy to deal with now. No wonder Mo Dongyang had tattoos on his body and acted both righteous and evil.
She saw that they were reminiscing about the past and did not intend to listen further. She took the opportunity to stand up. "Mom, I'm going to walk around outside!"
Xu Jingya replied casually, "Go ahead. Don't go too far!"
Mi Xaing 'er nodded in agreement and slowly walked out of the room.
When she entered the courtyard, she looked down and saw the wonton spilled all over the ground. She quickly swept it to the side. As she was pregnant, once she smelled the aroma of food, she felt a little hungry and swallowed her saliva … She listened carefully and heard that the wonton stall had not closed yet. She turned around and walked out of the courtyard. At the entrance of the alley, she bought a big bowl of wonton and sat down to eat.
Hey!
You don't say!
The wonton with cabbage filling was big and the soup was also delicious … It was really not bad.
After eating half a bowl, she suddenly saw a "minivan" stop by the roadside. When the door opened, eight or nine men in blue uniforms jumped out. The ones leading the way were two police officers. From the looks of it, they looked like they were investigating a case.
The few of them talked as they walked …
Although their voices were not loud, the alley was very quiet. Mi Xaing 'er heard them clearly.
"Hey, Officer Wang, what does this Mo Dongyang look like? Why are you searching for him? Why aren't there any photos? "
"Where are there any photos? Once our police station got his whereabouts … we were afraid that he was cunning and would escape after hearing the news, so we immediately took action. We don't even have enough manpower and have to ask the security department of the factory to help with the search. Where are the photos? "
When Mi Xaing 'er heard the name "Mo Dongyang", her heart skipped a beat. She pretended to be calm and lowered her head to drink her wonton soup. In fact, her ears were wide open.
She heard the police officer continue, "But it's simple. That Mo guy is not even 30 years old. He has a medium build and has a green dragon tattoo on his left arm. He can't be wrong! Let's split up! "
"…"
"Listen to my instructions. That Mo guy is hiding in this alley. Which house is he hiding in? We don't know the details! However, there are only about ten houses here. Everyone, form groups of two and search from house to house. Be quick and don't alert the enemy. If you see anyone suspicious, immediately call for help. We'll be there immediately! "
"…"
Mi Xaing 'er did not even lift her eyelids. She put the wonton money on the table and quickly went home.
Once she entered the courtyard, she closed the door and hurried into the house. "Mom, Brother Mo, something seems to have happened. The police are outside. I heard that they're going to search from house to house!"
Mo Dongyang panicked when he heard that. "F * ck! The news has been leaked! "
He rubbed his hands on his trousers and felt troubled … This small courtyard was secluded and located deep in the alley. There was no way out. If he wanted to escape, he could only fight with the other party face to face. However, he knew very well that two fists were no match for four hands. There were more than ten people outside. He was afraid that he would not be able to escape this time.
He couldn't care less. He had to fight … He straightened his body and was about to rush out.
Xu Jingya was calm and immediately reached out to grab him. "We can't fight head-on! We have to think about it carefully and find a place to hide! "
Although she said that, she was familiar with this courtyard … At a glance, there was really no place to hide.
How could Mo Dongyang not know?
He gently pushed Xu Jingya away. "I have to go! You guys are still here. If I get caught, you guys will be implicated too! "
What he said …
He was also a cool and tough guy!
Just as they were panicking, Mi Xaing 'er said, "I have an idea that can help Brother Mo escape this disaster. However, I still need your cooperation!"
Ah?
Mo Dongyang looked at her in surprise. He did not think much of it … He was an extremely conceited person and was familiar with Shanghai. He felt that even a "local" like him was helpless and had nowhere to run. What could a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl do?
Xu Jingya was also puzzled. "Xiang 'er, you have a plan? Tell me quickly! Where do you plan to hide Dongyang? "
Mi Xaing 'er shook her head …
Hide?
Where did he hide it?
Xu Jingya and Mo Dongyang were very familiar with this small courtyard and alley. They had no place to hide, but she had a place?
She smiled slightly. "It's actually very simple! Four words … to confuse the public! "
"Ah? What should we do? "
Mi Xaing 'er was calm and composed. "The situation is very tense now. There's no time to explain in detail. Just listen to my arrangements. Brother Mo, you go to the courtyard …"
What?
Mo Dongyang's eyes widened. "Did I hear wrongly? The police are here to arrest me. Why should I stay in the courtyard by myself? "
Mi Xaing 'er smiled faintly. "Yes! Listen to me. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place … is also the safest! Only by putting yourself in a deathtrap … can you be reborn! "
Although it was easy to say, to actually do it … one's guts must be as big as the sky!
Put yourself in a deathtrap and fight to be reborn?
How many people could do that?
Even someone like Zhuge Liang would perspire profusely when he sat on top of the city gate tower and sang the Empty Fort Stratagem. Otherwise … would he be able to wave his feather fan?
Mi Xaing 'er did not say anything else. She walked into the courtyard and bent down to pick up the basin that was soaking the clothes on the ground. She placed it behind the main door and found a small stool to place it beside the basin. Then, she waved at Mo Dongyang. "You sit here and wash the clothes!"
"Ah?"
"Oh, don't forget to pull down your sleeves. Don't show the tattoo on your arm! Also … no matter what I say, don't answer me! Don't reply to me! I'll act out this show! "
Mo Dongyang blinked his almond-shaped eyes … Suddenly, he felt that the young lady in front of him was different. She was no longer a "country bumpkin" who came to Shanghai to make money, but a "capable person" with abilities.
He did not even have time to react.
Someone knocked on the main door. "I'm checking your household register! Open the door! "
At this point … Ji Dongyang had no other choice. He quickly sat on the small stool and followed Mi Xaing 'er's instructions. He faced the wall, lowered his head, and pretended to wash the clothes.
Mi Xaing 'er quickly walked back to her room. She grabbed a small pillow and stuffed it into her arms. She pulled her lapel and instantly made a "belly" of July or August. She winked at Xu Jingya. "Mom, go open the door. We'll play it by ear later!"
Xu Jingya was also a little confused … but the situation was urgent and she did not have time to ask. She could only nod and quickly go to open the door.
As soon as the door was opened, the two people outside didn't even have time to enter the courtyard when they heard a "Pa" sound. A big bowl was thrown over and smashed against the door, breaking into pieces!
The two people shrunk their necks in fright and hurriedly took half a step back. They vigilantly looked into the courtyard and saw a middle-aged woman in her fifties standing by the door. She was thin and weak and looked "harmless".
Looking behind her, he saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old "pregnant woman" standing in the courtyard. She had one hand on her waist and her face was full of anger. She pointed at the door and scolded, "You bastard, I'm pregnant and raising a child at home, but you're out there fooling around with other women. If you don't explain everything clearly today, I won't let you off. Let's just fight it out. Either you die, or I live. Otherwise, we'll just kill each other!"
Oh my!
She's really something!
Xu Jingya was quick-witted and immediately understood. She hurriedly explained to the two people who reported the case, "My son and daughter-in-law are arguing! You two are … checking our household register? Then come in. "
She immediately added softly, "My daughter-in-law is a little hot-tempered. She's from the Northeast. We can't help it. Plus, she's pregnant … She's about to give birth. My son and I won't lower ourselves to her level! It almost hit the two of you just now, right? I'm sorry! Come in! Come in! "
The two people stepped into the courtyard and immediately fixed their gazes on Mo Dongyang. They looked at each other and slowly walked towards him …
Xu Jingya was so nervous that her palms were sweating. Before she could say anything, Mi Xaing 'er squeezed past the two police officers … She was a pregnant woman with such a big belly. Would they dare to touch her? She hurriedly moved to the side.
In the blink of an eye, Mi Xaing 'er was already standing behind Mo Dongyang. With one hand on her waist and the other on her belly, she started scolding again, "Stop pretending to be deaf and mute! I clearly saw you and Miss Wang going to the movies. Yun Jingting, Yun Jingting … Tell me clearly! "
Yun Jingting?
Mi Xaing 'er was also stunned when she casually said that … It turned out that the first name that came to her mind was still Yun Jingting.
Mo Dongyang remembered her instructions … No matter what happened, he would keep his head down and not say a word.
However, he was secretly impressed. This girl was really brave. She dared to put on such an act right under the eyes of the police officers. No one else could do it.
He kept his head down and washed the clothes without saying a word. In the eyes of outsiders, he was a real … guilty husband.
The two police officers immediately had the first impression … They looked at each other tacitly and shook their heads helplessly.
When they saw the couple quarreling here, and it was because of a "love dispute", they couldn't be bothered to intervene. They nodded at Xu Jingya and said, "Let's go inside and take a look!"
Xu Jingya also knew how to put on an act. "You guys go first. I'll be right there!"
She also pretended to persuade Mi Xaing 'er. "Xiao Mi, you can't get angry! Don't hurt the child! "
She lowered her head and scolded Mo Dongyang, "You little brat, can't you let people worry less? You're really going to piss me off … "
Mi Xaing 'er simply covered her face and wailed at the side … In an instant, the courtyard was in chaos.
The police officers walked around the three rooms and looked carefully. They didn't find any loopholes, so they returned to the courtyard. They saw their little wife crying happily, hitting and scolding her "husband". The man lowered his head and didn't dare to fight back. Their mother-in-law was pulling and persuading them. They couldn't help but feel a little awkward …
But the mission still had to be completed!
They coughed lightly and said to Mi Xaing 'er in a deep voice, "Stop fooling around. Stop for a moment. We're working on a case here!"
Mi Xaing 'er put her hands on her waist and looked up with her tear-stained face. Her voice was louder than anyone else's. "So what if you're working on a case? You're working on a case, so you don't allow the commoners to speak? If you're so capable … why don't you arrest me? "
She paused for a moment and pointed at Mo Dongyang. "Why don't … you arrest him! Let him sleep with other women outside? He's ruining society's morals! "
She stuck out her belly and "rushed" forward …
The two police officers were so frightened that they took half a step back … They didn't dare to argue with a pregnant woman!
They could only turn to Xu Jingya. "How long has your family of three lived here? Take out your household register and let me take a look! "
Xu Jingya was stunned …
Household register?
This was a little difficult …
