After Christmas is the New Year in 1930 AD, and one month later, it will be the Lunar New Year - the Spring Festival.

In the past half month, Lu Ming has been staring at the Manchuria Building in the Japanese Concession. He still does not give up on arresting Seishiro Ozawa, and An Gonggen's Shanghai Korean Anti-Japanese Volunteer Team is even more unwilling to give up.

Lu Mingdong used the inside line, and An Gonggen did the same. Many eyes were fixed on the Manchurian Railway Building.

Ozawa was frightened by An Gonggen and others' last bombing at the Yamato Hotel. Some people only vaguely saw the figure of the North Korean martyr, but Ozawa became a frightened bird.

He stayed in the building obediently, watching closely all the people who entered and exited the building. He must not let the explosion that happened in the Yamato Hotel reappear in the Manchuria Building, otherwise, even if he died, he would be covered in sins.

It took too long, and even Lu Ming was a little discouraged. He really didn't understand why Ozawa was determined not to leave Mantie Building. Could it be that he would hide in it all his life and never come out?

Lu Ming didn't understand what Ozawa was thinking at the moment, Ozawa was not hiding, but just like him, waiting on the sidelines.

Two people who are sitting on the sidelines are competing for internal strength to see who can hold it.

"Mr. Lu, this bastard just refuses to come out, what do you think should I do?" An Gonggen was also a little bit out of spell, so he called Lu Ming and said.

The North Korean righteous men have laid a lot of bait these days, and a few times it is still very important. This kind of action is actually a risk.

For some reason, Ozawa turned a blind eye to the tempting bait, and he still stood still, patiently observing the movement outside.

An Gonggen threw out the bait, but Ozawa thought it was a trick to divert the tiger away from the mountain. The opponent was luring him to lead his people away, and then attacked the Manchurian Railway Building, but he didn't know that the opponent wanted him.

Ozawa refused to take a step away from the Manchurian Building, and the game of chess became a stalemate.

"Wait and see, I don't believe he can hide in there for the rest of his life, he must come out to get some air. Be on guard, don't relax," Lu Ming said.

"I think so too, so it's better to be patient with him." An Gonggen said.

"The Spring Festival is coming soon. Before and after the Spring Festival, the Japanese will definitely organize various social activities. At that time, it is impossible for him to hide even if he wants to. Let's get ready for the Spring Festival." Lu Ming made up his mind to catch Ozawa .

Before complete westernization, the Japanese also celebrated the Spring Festival, and it will be decades later to celebrate the foreign festival.

During the period of the Republic of China, the Japanese in Shanghai usually held various celebrations and social activities, and important figures from the Manchurian Railway would also attend. At that time, Ozawa would also have to take on various security jobs, and it was impossible for him not to show his face.

The two briefly discussed matters that need to be paid attention to during the Spring Festival operation, using code words that ordinary people cannot understand.

After talking with An Gonggen, Lu Ming felt more stable. With An Gonggen and his brothers watching over him, he didn't have to worry too much.

Lu Ming knew well that An Gonggen wanted to catch Ozawa more than he did, and they were experts in kidnapping, so he didn't need to worry about the planning and execution of the operation.

Originally, he and Mingzhu had to go back to their hometown in Huzhou to celebrate the New Year. Since Sheng Muyi’s whereabouts are still unknown, Ziyuan is also in a difficult situation. Sheng Youde has written to the old people of the two families to explain the situation, and then let Lu Ming and Yuan Mingzhu stay in Shanghai Celebrate New Year with him.

Of course Lu Ming and Yuan Mingzhu were happy. They escaped from marriage, and they would definitely be scolded when they went back. In addition, Lu Ming felt that he would not be able to face Mingzhu's parents after returning. When they asked about Ziyuan's situation, how would he answer.

After such a long time, a big living person has disappeared, and it is impossible to fool him.

Yuan Mingzhu didn't think too much about it. She was simply obsessed with the game of sending and receiving telegrams, and also obsessed with cryptography. She almost forgot to eat and sleep. She even lost contact with Lu Ming. For difficult problems, call Lu Ming only when Lu Ming needs to translate or explain to her.

Lu Ming thought of Du Juan again, not knowing how she would arrange for the New Year, so he asked Sheng Di for Du Juan's number, and then called.

When Du Juan received a call from Lu Ming, he was surprised for a moment, but finally couldn't help sobbing.

She really missed Lu Ming so much that she had already picked up the phone on the table several times, but the operator's voice on the receiver kept asking: Where do you want it?She still held back and hung up the phone.

She wanted to hear Lu Ming's voice, but she was afraid of hearing it. She was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, and would go back to find Lu Ming after putting down the phone. What's more, she would be reluctant to leave him once she fell in love with Lu Ming. , Go back to the old road of the past.

She's just settled into a new life, and feels like it's exactly where she's been dreaming.

Surrounded by working people, she feels that she is one of them, and she has a feeling of coming home when she stays in this environment.

The more she integrates into the real environment, the more she resists the circle she used to live in, and even resists Lu Ming a little, because that circle connects her and Lu Ming's past.

She was very troubled because of this, and she didn't know what to do, whether to follow the guidance of her soul and fully integrate into her new life, or to succumb to the power of love and return to Lu Ming's side.

Lu Ming didn't know about the split in her heart, but instead asked her how to arrange for the New Year, and asked her if she wanted to celebrate the New Year with them.

Lu Ming really wanted to know about Du Juan's current situation, but he was determined not to contact her, let alone visit her. He just wanted Du Juan to start over and live an independent new life without being attached to anyone, including him.

"I'm not sure yet. The factory will not be closed for the Spring Festival." Du Juan said timidly after his mood stabilized.

She spoke very carefully, terrified of giving away what was on her mind.

"Your factory is a fascist, and you don't have holidays during Chinese New Year. I'll talk to Sheng Di." Lu Ming said angrily.

"No, I have holidays, but the workers don't have holidays." Du Juan explained hastily.

Lu Ming laughed, he also knew that the factory regulations were just a display to Du Juan, and Sheng Di would never use some bullshit rules to restrain Du Juan, that would be too impersonal.

Although Lu Ming felt that it was a bit excessive not to give the workers a holiday, he couldn't say much about it after all because it was the factory's business.

"Then you are on holiday and wait for me at home, I will pick you up and celebrate the holiday together." Lu Ming laughed.

"Why don't you go back to your hometown for the festival?" Du Juan wondered.

"Oh, it's President Sheng's arrangement. Mingzhu and I won't go back to our hometown this year, and we will spend the New Year with him." Lu Ming explained.

"Well, Sister Mu Yi is not around, Chairman Sheng is very lonely, it would be better if you accompany him..."

Du Juan suddenly had a longing in his heart, where is his hometown? If he knows where his hometown is, he must go back and see his parents and younger brother.

Parents must be a lot older, and my younger brother should grow up to be a young man.

Although her parents sold her cruelly, she didn't resent them, she knew that there was nothing she could do. In times of famine, selling children and selling daughters was the last way for the poor to survive.

But she didn't know where her home was. She was too young when she came out, so she only knew that her home was in Jiangxi, and she didn't have any impression of which city or county it was.

She also asked her godmother many times, but her godmother always faltered. Later, her godmother told her that she really didn’t know. Human traffickers don’t tell the truth to buyers. The addresses reported are usually false, and they are afraid of the children themselves. Run back and ruin their future business.

People in this industry don't care where the child comes from. If they know where they come from, they will easily breed right and wrong, as long as they look good.

The godmother said that unless she finds the human trafficker who brought her to Shanghai, she will never find her hometown in this life.

It is not unusual for the godmother to deal with such a thing. She knows that children will encounter this problem when they grow up.
