The Bourne Counterattack

Chapter 384 Major Demerits and Punishments

"Sister, I have to go. I asked someone to come over for dinner tonight. It's not a good idea to go too late." Cheng Mo raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was already past three o'clock.

If everything goes well, it will take half an hour to drive over from him. There will be further inspections and questioning on the way, and that time will pass.

But you can't compare it with the efficiency and speed of later generations.

"Okay, I won't leave you alone. Hurry up and accompany Mo'er. What she is carrying in her belly is the seed of our old Cheng family."

"Sister, you can actually find another one, don't hang yourself on a tree..."

"You brat, why are you talking to sister? I don't want to waste time and energy on this kind of thing. You should worry about your own business." Cheng Hua scolded with a smile.

Cheng Mo smiled, stood up, opened the door and went out.

After getting in the car, I carefully thought about what my sister said just now. Although I don't completely agree with it, from the perspective of someone who doesn't know the inside story, this is probably the best solution.

Forget it, let’s wait until we see Su Morer.

"Did she come to you under Iwai's instructions?"

"I know what the drug was in that cake."

"What's the matter with you? Tell me quickly. I have to go out to do errands later." Wen Qiu said, adjusting his glasses on the bridge of his nose.

"I didn't ask this, but the Japanese must have put a lot of pressure on her. The question is, how should I respond? She only knows that I may be from Chongqing, but she doesn't know my exact identity." Cheng Mo said.

"After research and decision by the Southern Bureau, Comrade Cheng Mo will be given a serious demerit within the party!" Wen Qiu took out a telegraph newspaper and read it out in front of Cheng Mo.

"No matter how the organization handles the points, I will accept it."

"Of course I thought of it, but who would have thought that the cake she made would be drugged?" Cheng Mo also felt aggrieved.

"Chiyoko came to me this morning and told me." Cheng Mo explained, "She said this medicine is the latest one developed by the Germans. It's called 'widow's tears'. That's what it means anyway. As for her identity, she also don't know."

"You know, how do you know?"

"It's over, what else do you want? Do you know the punishment for serious demerits within the party?" Wen Qiu asked seriously.

"Didn't you expect this kind of accident?"

"This is also the instruction Nakamura gave him, but this relationship was not Nakamura's intention. It was indeed an accident."

"No, why are you here again?"

"Do you know that this punishment will accompany you throughout your life and will become a stain on you?" Wen Qiu said.

"This is indeed impossible to guard against. I have reported this matter to the organization and the decision has been made. I originally wanted to inform you tomorrow, but now that you are here, I will simply announce it to you." Wen Qiu said.

"On the way, see if you're here." Cheng Mo smiled, opened the door and walked into Wen Qiu's home.

……

"Senior Brother Wenqiu, have you made any mistakes?"

"End?"

"You continue to maintain contact with her as a military commander?"

"As long as it's not expulsion, I can accept it," Cheng Mo said.

"Of course I made a mistake." Wen Qiu was stunned for a moment, "Who can guarantee that you are always right."

"Senior Brother Wenqiu has also been punished, right?"

"Yes, one warning and one demerit within the party. What's wrong? This is much lighter than your serious demerit!"

"Yes, yes, I understand. I will take it as a lesson and promise not to do it again."

"You want to make it again? If the mistake you made this time was not due to the special nature of the work, do you think it would just be a major demerit?" Wen Qiu said sternly.

Cheng Mo had never seen Wen Qiu speak so harshly towards him, so he immediately accepted the criticism with an open mind and deeply reflected on the mistakes he had made.

"Brother, has there been any further approval from the organization on how to handle this matter?" Cheng Mo asked. "It's true that it's not easy for the organization to make decisions for you, but you have to grasp the balance and don't do anything outrageous."

"What counts as something outrageous?" Cheng Mo asked, "Does marrying my concubine count?"

"Do you still want to marry your concubine?" Wen Qiu asked with wide eyes.

"I mean, if the relationship between me and Chiyoko cannot be broken now, I must give the family an explanation." Cheng Mo said.

"What's the reaction from the Japanese?"

"There is no specific response yet, but it should come soon. How can they not use the handle that I have so easily in their hands?" Cheng Mo said.

"What do you think they'll do?"

"I don't know. If I were a Japanese, I would use the method of boiling a frog in warm water. First, I would not let me do anything too difficult. Then, I would be dragged into the trap bit by bit, and then I would be completely controlled." Cheng Mo said.

"That's true, the Japanese are cunning, you still need to be careful and don't fall into their trap." Wen Qiu reminded.

"I know, I have to go." Cheng Mo said, "What I said, senior brother, please help me think about it and see if I can find a solution that has both sides."

Wen Qiu rubbed his brows and tried to find a way to have both ends. He opened his head and crushed it and thought about it, but he couldn't think of any good way.

……

As the sky darkened, Cheng Mo drove into the Su family's yard.

After getting out of the car, I carried everything in the trunk.

"Cheng Mo is here." Jiang Liyao greeted Cheng Mo when she saw him.

"Mom, where is Mo'er?"

"upstairs."

"Then I'll go see her." Cheng Mo nodded, put on his slippers, and walked upstairs. After all, they were a loving couple.

"Come down for dinner later, don't wait for me to come up and call you." Jiang Liyao ordered.

"it is good."

"Mo'er." Cheng Mo knocked on the door twice, pushed it open, and walked in. He saw Su Moer dressed in home clothes, lying on a leisure chair.

Putting her hands on her belly, the soft light shone on her unpainted face, glowing with maternal glory. This moment was so warm and peaceful.

His eyes were slightly closed, he must have fallen asleep.

Cheng Mo took the blanket from the bed and covered her gently.

Although I was at home, it was already early winter in Shanghai and the weather was already a bit cold. It was not yet time to light the charcoal fire to warm the stove, so the temperature inside the house was not high.

Maybe Cheng Mo's movements were a bit big, or maybe Su Mo'er wasn't sleeping soundly. When she felt someone beside her, she opened her eyes and saw Cheng Mo in front of her: "You're here, why didn't you call me?" ?”

Cheng Mo quickly stepped forward and gave him a hand: "I see you are asleep, I can't bear to wake you up."

"what time is it?"

"It's almost six o'clock."

"It's getting dark..." Su Morer raised her eyes and glanced out the window, "I actually slept for an hour."

"Maybe you are tired." Cheng Mo said, "I heard that pregnant women get tired easily, so it's better to rest more."

"Mom asked me the day before yesterday. She suspected there was a problem between the two of us?"

"What did you say?" Cheng Mo was startled and his heart skipped a beat. Is this mother-in-law's intuition so scary?

"Of course I can't tell the truth and cover it up, but I'm afraid my mother won't believe it easily, so you have to stay tonight." Su Mo'er said.

"Well, it's up to you." Cheng Mo nodded and agreed.
