Meng Bai looked at him with suspicion, "You speak English?"
Actress Su Qingci quickly responded, shaking her head in alarm, "No, I won't! It's my father who would, but he's gone now. I won't, I'm innocent."
As Su Qingci spoke, she hid behind her good mother, her timid, doe-like eyes immediately dispelling Meng Bai's doubts.
"She really will?"
Yu Shengchun nodded, "Indeed, she accidentally blurted it out not long ago, and I overheard it."
Meng Bai's expression gradually softened, and he gently beckoned to Su Qingci, "Yu Yan, come here."
Su Qingci hid behind her mother and refused to come out. "Don't report me. The Party and the organization said that one cannot choose one's background, but personal performance is important. I have always followed the Party's policies and education. I have not done anything out of line."
Meng Bai reassured him, "Don't worry, no one here will report you. Come on, tell your brother Meng Bai, do you really speak English?"
Su Qingci walked nervously toward Meng Bai.
"I... I know a little bit. My dad studied abroad before, and I learned a little from him."
Meng Bai breathed a sigh of relief.
"Come on, say a few words to me."
"say what?"
"Just say, Mr. Mike, it's been a long time. How have you been?"
Su Qingci paused for a moment, then said, "I... I dare not."
"It's alright, there are no outsiders here."
After Meng Bai's repeated reassurances, Su Qingci finally spoke.
“Mr.mike, long time no see.It\u0027s good to e in”
Meng Bai looked up at Yu Shengchun, who nodded. "No, no problem."
Meng Bai felt relieved. "What a stroke of luck! Hahaha, Yu Yan, you're my lucky star! Hurry up and change your clothes. We're going somewhere together later."
"Mom, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and go help."
Yu Shengchun breathed a sigh of relief; his life was saved. As the tension subsided, his vision went black, and he almost fainted.
When Su Qingci saw Meng Bai getting up and fussing so early in the morning, she thought he was going out early too.
After dressing up, she went with Meng Bai to attend the banquet.
It was a beach party.
The weather was fine and sunny. A small banquet hall was set up on the beach, and a yacht was moored in the sea next to it.
A lot of people came, including members of the Lan, Kong, and Zhou families, but there were hardly any women; most of them were strong men.
The beach was filled with laughter and chatter, but there was no sound of activity until night fell.
Soon, some guests began to leave, and the noise gradually subsided.
Su Qingci sat on the beach, listening to the sound of the waves crashing.
"What are you doing?" Meng Bai walked over.
Su Qingci pouted, "Brother Mengbai, when are we going back?"
"Are you tired going back? If you are, you can come aboard and rest. We might go out to sea to fish tonight, and the sunrise at four or five in the morning is very beautiful. Don't you want to see it?"
Su Qingci pretended to be very interested, "I want to!"
Meng Bai sat down next to Su Qingci. "Yu Yan, you must have suffered a lot in the past, right?"
"Sometimes I really regret not meeting you sooner. But that won't happen again. I will definitely protect you."
Can you tell me about your background?
Su Qingci instantly looked melancholy, and after polishing her words that had fooled Yu Shengchun, she went over them again in front of Meng Bai.
Meng Bai said with a pained expression, "It's not your fault. Sheng Chun was lucky to meet me back then, otherwise it's hard to say whether he would still be here now. Sigh~ It's no wonder you're so scared."
“Your situation is just like mine now. Although the country doesn’t allow it, we haven’t done anything wrong.”
“Look, the country is cracking down on speculation and profiteering, but this is clearly a good thing. Otherwise, how can we just watch those people who can’t buy food starve to death? So we can have a clear conscience.”
Su Qingci was deeply moved. "Brother Meng Bai, you're so kind."
Meng Bai changed the subject, "You've been in Shanghai for so long, you must have seen foreigners in places like the Bund, right?"
Su Qingci nodded.
Meng Bai continued to entice, "Look, the government can receive overseas guests on behalf of the government, but it doesn't allow us to contact each other privately. This is actually the same principle as your background and my involvement in the black market. There is no right or wrong in this."
"Actually, I also have foreign friends."
Su Qingci looked surprised.
Meng Bai said mysteriously, "They might come to meet us again tonight. You speak English, right? I'll show you around and you can give me your opinion."
Su Qingci's eyes lit up. "I know, those life-saving things you put in the black market, they all came from your foreign friends, right?"
Meng Bai simply smiled and remained silent.
Su Qingci outwardly wore an expression of admiration, but inwardly she was cursing. She had almost risen to the rank of his confidant, yet Meng Bai was still wary of her, making her work for him without even revealing the truth.
What Su Qingci didn't know was that the mole test two days ago had already given Meng Bai a psychological trauma. Now, he not only suspected Yu Shengchun, but he even almost suspected that he himself was an undercover police officer.
She won't tell me now, but she'll find out once we get to the sea.
As night slowly fell, Meng Bai led Su Qingci, Kong Liu, Zhou Liang, and others onto the yacht, and the burly men on the Bund gradually dispersed.
Su Qingci knew that these people were already hiding on the edge of the beach, at the fork in the road ahead, or even on the main road outside.
Their duty was to keep watch.
In the darkness, a small cruise ship rumbled in from afar.
Meng Bai and Lan Chengyong exchanged an excited glance, and Kong Liu, Zhou Liang, and the others also stood up subconsciously.
A glint flashed in Su Qingci's eyes, and she knew that this was it. She quickly and secretly opened the police dog hood that she had put on that afternoon.
"Walk!"
As Meng Bai finished speaking, the yacht started up, left the coastline, and headed towards the oncoming cruise ship.
Soon the two ships were slowly approaching each other, about 500 meters from the shore.
"Stop the ship!"
"Let's go out!" Su Qingci heard Meng Bai's words and quickly followed him out of the cabin and onto the deck.
The cruise ship opposite was at least seven or eight times larger than my small yacht.
Su Qingci was a bit apprehensive. With that kind of setup, could Wang Zhongren and his team handle it? And how did that foreign guests' cruise ship even get in? Wasn't there any patrolling in their own territory?
"Hello, Mr. Mike!" Meng Bai waved to the cruise ship opposite.
Hi, Mr. Meng
A figure appeared on the opposite deck, waving at Meng Bai. Then a ladder was extended from the cruise ship and placed on the yacht.
Two large wooden planks were placed on the planks, and a blond, blue-eyed man with a full beard came down with three or four other people.
Meng Bai and Lan Chengyong exchanged a glance and secretly made a strange hand gesture. Su Qingci noticed that Kong Liu, A Biao, Liu San'er, and the others instantly took a few steps back and touched their lower backs.
