Chapter 7, All languages are repetitions

The fate of countless generations cannot withstand the sands of time.

Lu Mingmei lowered her head, and after a while, she rubbed her face and said softly: "I am not sure... if I can persuade him"

The challenge of the opening remarks can simply be left to him

The time spent on the road and the flight duration are roughly similar. The night and day at Pudong Airport have always been indistinguishable due to the overly bright lights. She waited outside the baggage claim area for Shi Jingwei to come out, and not long after, she saw passengers arriving to collect their luggage, with Shi Jingwei at the back, wearing a large mask, looking around as if searching for her. Lu Mingmei moved to a more conspicuous spot, and when Shi Jingwei found his luggage and came out, he appeared haggard, his face pale, and even his steps seemed unsteady. Lu Mingmei approached him, and Shi Jingwei smiled at her. Although he was wearing a mask, it was evident that his eyes were smiling, but the smile quickly faded. He half-jokingly said to Lu Mingmei, "You are the first person to pick me up in my life."

Is this your logic? Wielding the law as a club to bully the weak? All the vulnerable and the harmed, do they all deserve to die in your eyes?

She is curious to see how long Shi Jingwei can continue to put on an act. He specifically asked her to pick him up, clearly anticipating that she would come to confront him.

Lu Mingmei hurriedly stepped forward; she wanted to say, "I can explain," but upon opening her mouth, she realized, what exactly is there to explain?

Lu Mingmei raised her head, incredulous, "My mother has returned?"

Just as he had once questioned her, during the years he was absent, who exactly filled the void he left behind

Denying his own identity? Denying the parents who gave him life?

Perhaps ... ... you all ... ... '' Such words, spoken from the mouth of Shi Jingwei, are extremely reluctant. His emotions are complex, and he does not know what he truly hopes for the situation to lead to. If Lu Mingmei cannot find Cheng Songpo, it will certainly cause great trouble. But what if she does find him? Shi Jingwei chuckles self-deprecatingly; this should be an expected outcome. There has always been such a tacit understanding between Lu Mingmei and Cheng Songpo: she waited for him for ten years without reason, and he actually returned; she silently went to Cuiming Island, and Cheng Songpo found her a moment earlier than he did.

Lu Mingmei stared at him with increasing suspicion, a faint bitter smile appeared at the corner of Cheng Songpo's lips, "Many things can be concealed for a time, but not for a lifetime"

Now that the matter has been made public, it is impossible for us to turn back, isn't it

After pondering for a long time while stroking his chin, Shi Jingwei said, "Perhaps... you could try persuading Cheng Songpo to remain silent"

Lu Mingmei caught up with Cheng Songpo, following closely in his footsteps. Cheng Songpo remained silent, slowly ascending the stairs, where a heavy sigh lingered in the empty stairwell. Upon reaching the front door, Cheng Songpo paused, turned back, and silently glanced at her, as if that profound sigh echoed once more in the air. Noticing her with her head down, fidgeting with her handbag behind him, he hesitated to speak, and finally, a genuine sigh drifted into her ears. Upon reaching the front door, Cheng Songpo paused, turned back, and silently glanced at her, as if that profound sigh echoed once more in the air. Noticing her with her head down, fidgeting with her handbag behind him, he hesitated to speak, and finally, a genuine sigh drifted into her ears. Cheng Songpo opened the door, and she entered, resembling a student who had made a mistake, awaiting punishment from a teacher or parent.

Cheng Songpo's father, Ming Aihua, had saved his life. How could Ming Aihua betray him, and not only betray him but also destroy all his foundations in Chanbang? What does it matter if they pledged their lives to each other? What does it matter if their fateful encounter was destined? In the end, she was merely a stepping stone in his career. Lu Mingmei found it amusing; when her mother worked so hard to cultivate him, could she have ever imagined that he would turn against her after her retirement?

You..." Cheng Songpo pressed his lips together, fully aware that he should sever all ties, yet when faced with Lu Mingmei, he could not overcome that tiny thought deep within his heart. After a long pause, he softly said, "Let me calm down for a moment."

Perhaps this is why Ming Ai Hua and Shi Jing Wei have a mutual appreciation for each other

Now, the current time and space are personally engaged, delivering her the most direct and lethal blow

No one has any moral blemishes, not even Cheng Songpo, because Ming Ai Hua stated that Cheng Songpo's declaration is difficult to discern as true or false, perhaps stemming from rumors or possibly orchestrated by the planners

Lu Mingmei sat on the carpet, her clothes disheveled, hugging herself in fright. Shi Jingwei gently caressed his aching cheek and slowly stood up. He tilted his head, picked up the car keys from the desk, and seemingly to deliberately display his contempt, he retorted fiercely: "A woman is the same whether she is naked or not, you are no different."

I will ask him clearly," Lu Mingmei grasped his arm, as if holding onto the last straw, and raised her right hand to assure him, "If he wrote it intentionally, I will sever all ties with him.

Cheng Songpo shook his head and said, "I do not blame you"

Lu Mingmei was taken aback by this nonsensical remark, and after a brief moment of confusion, she scoffed, "How is that possible?"

The left column of the topic features a recent statement by Cheng Songpo, in which he acknowledges that many implications in the article by Shi Jingwei are factual. The individual currently under house arrest in Naypyidaw, Myanmar, referred to as "Cheng Songpo," is actually the son of his father's aide. Cheng Songpo has called upon the Myanmar government, stating that since the armed forces of the Manxingdie have long been disbanded and the situation in the Golden Triangle has changed significantly, he hopes the Myanmar government will release the son of the aide, as his house arrest has become meaningless in today's context. Cheng Songpo has called upon the Myanmar government, stating that since the armed forces of the Manxingdie have long been disbanded and the situation in the Golden Triangle has changed significantly, he hopes the Myanmar government will release the son of the aide, as his house arrest has become meaningless in today's context

Lu Mingmei could even guess that Shi Jingwei came to find her today, probably for a specific reason

Cheng Songpo's residence, the villa on Chongming Island, the art museum that has hosted exhibitions, the high school, and the picturesque Zhujiajiao where they had outings... After searching all the places Cheng Songpo might have gone, there was still no result. Lu Mingmei's legs felt weak from running, and with each place she searched, her heart sank further. Shi Jingwei acted as the driver; wherever Lu Mingmei said to go, he would drive there—each location they searched also weighed down his heart, realizing they had so many memories together

You all cooperate very well

What a wonderful collaboration

He can no longer deceive himself. Cheng Songpo understands what those unspoken tolerances and seemingly cynical disguises represent. He once did not comprehend these things; in his youth, he was proud and arrogant, believing that love should not involve any deception, that it could withstand all trials, and that it could endure heart-wrenching pain. Now he understands the depth behind the threads of time and the gaze of the eyes; it is a man's unspeakable love for a woman. He understands this because he himself has begun to comprehend.

Lu Mingmei stared at Shi Jingwei with suspicion, not understanding why he was changing the subject. However, her mind began to recall: three years ago, there seemed to be an actress who played a supporting role in a once-popular television drama. Just as her career was shining brightly, she suddenly committed suicide at home by taking sleeping pills. It was rumored to be due to a change in her relationship, and the truth was elusive. It caused a small stir for a while, but since she was not a top-tier star, everything quieted down after the initial commotion.

Lu Mingmei laughed and said, "Do you think everyone is as shameless as you? One must remember where they were born and where they grew up. In the past, I did not want his background to be exposed, as it would bring him trouble. But now that things have come to this point, do you want Cheng Songpo to be like you, a fickle and untrustworthy person?"

Lu Mingmei had never realized that she had never believed in another person, as freely and naturally as she believed in the passage of time.

Why

Have I also wronged you

No, no, no, Cheng Songpo's father hopes that his son will head north all the way, return to his homeland, and never come back again

Lu Mingmei was filled with doubt, only feeling that his gaze was distant, as if it passed through her face and fell beyond the years.

While waiting in line for a taxi, Shi Jingwei asked again, "Have you eaten? Shall we go for a late-night snack?"

While Cheng Songpo and Lu Mingmei were enacting a romantic scene on a rainy night, he was caught speeding and running a red light, receiving two tickets. He was drenched by the heavy rain, which led to pneumonia, and he narrowly escaped death.

She is eager to see what kind of explanation Shi Jingwei will ultimately provide her

Lu Mingmei tugged at the corners of her lips, her gaze growing increasingly disdainful, "Why don't you tell me how you contracted this pneumonia?"

Why don't you tell me what has happened

Her voice was as faint as a mosquito's buzz, and it seemed that even time was engaged in a difficult struggle of thought. After a long while, she苦笑道: "Now, apart from you, I fear no one else can persuade him."

I hope Cheng Songpo is willing to listen to her explanation, although at this moment, Lu Mingmei does not yet know what to explain to Cheng Songpo

Lu Mingmei was momentarily perplexed, and Shi Jingwei had no choice but to admit, "We cannot find him at the moment"

Time not only exposes Cheng Songpo's identity, but also mercilessly strikes down Ming Aihua, who helped him rise to power

This was still a matter from the end of last year. A female colleague at the bank was going through a divorce due to her husband's infidelity, and they were in a legal battle over custody. On the day of the hearing, the colleague was quite emotionally unstable, so she asked Lu Mingmei to accompany her, hoping to remind her to remain calm in court. The case was not going well; the colleague initially thought that by giving up the pursuit of her husband's asset transfer before the divorce, she could secure a compromise from her husband regarding custody. However, the husband's family, having a son, was unyielding on the custody issue. The husband's lawyer was also very cunning, using every means to provoke Lu Mingmei's colleague, in order to prove that she not only lacked economic advantages but also was not in a suitable mental state to obtain custody.

He did not even have the courage to stay in Shanghai, waiting for Lu Mingmei to inform him of her joyful news with Cheng Songpo, and specifically returned to Jiangcheng, hiding in a hotel. For a full seven days, Lu Mingmei was immersed in the boundless happiness of finally fulfilling her long-held wish, while he lingered on the edge of life and death alone; occasionally receiving text messages from friends and old classmates, the content was nothing more than being busy with work and inviting him to dinner next time

Time and space shrugged, "The teacher hopes, without reservation, that Cheng Songpo will sever all ties with the past history."

The world operates on the principle of the survival of the fittest, where the strong join forces to shape public opinion, thereby concealing their harm to the weak as if it never existed

The door was gently closed, and the lock turned with a sound, like a spell. Lu Mingmei stared blankly at the lock, not knowing how long had passed, before she realized she was slumped on the floor.

Tears soaked Cheng Songpo's shirt; in the end, women always possess such a weapon.

The most delicate tears of a woman always possess the most astonishing power, capable of softening the coldest heart of a man

Everyone believes that the steel reinforcement is as resilient as a Transformer.

Lu Mingmei, feeling disheartened, hesitated and asked: "Is it voluntary?"

Seeing him muster his spirits, Lu Mingmei felt somewhat embarrassed to speak. In her heart, she clearly thought that this was, after all, your fault; even if there were countless grievances, you still acted unreasonably in this matter. However, seeing him struggle to catch his breath after every word, she truly could not bring herself to resort to harsh interrogation.

In the earnest gaze of Lu Mingmei, he ultimately lacked the courage to ask her: Have you not noticed that during the days of my return, a genuine smile has not appeared on your face again?

Time stands still, yet the smile remains, seemingly both false and genuine

Time passed as Wei Wei shrugged his shoulders, a hint of helplessness showing on his face. "I originally thought Cheng Songpo would notify you, but then... I realized things were progressing too quickly, and I estimate..." He gestured with his hands, indicating to Lu Mingmei that he suspected there were some issues between her and Cheng Songpo. "I think you need to understand what is happening in the county right now. The teacher might be quite emotional when you see her, so she asked me to..."

Lu Mingmei had not yet had the chance to reflect on her experiences and lessons learned when Shi Jingwei unexpectedly came knocking at her door again. The lobby manager, upon seeing Shi Jingwei, remained very enthusiastic and readily opened the door for him to go directly to Lu Mingmei's office. Shi Jingwei probably knew that Lu Mingmei would not greet him warmly, so he took the initiative to sit down himself. Lu Mingmei, with a blank expression, coldly remarked: "Is yesterday's lesson not painful enough for you? Today, you didn't even bother to wear a mask?"

After explaining the time and coordinates, he awkwardly added, "It is still available in multiple language versions"

Time squinted his eyes, looking very disappointed, "You always have a way of saying something that infuriates people."

No one is allowed, not even Shi Jingwei.

Lu Mingmei felt that indeed, like attracts like, and the way Shi Jingwei acted was quite similar to that lawyer, which she sarcastically pointed out to Shi Jingwei. Unexpectedly, Shi Jingwei responded confidently: "This is a reality check for you; when doing things, do not let emotions cloud your judgment. Your colleague could have clearly used her husband's infidelity to claim more assets and fight for custody, yet she voluntarily relinquished her leverage and instead placed her hopes on a man who has already cheated! In other words, all these assets and custody rights are a form of self-abandonment on her part. My friend is merely fulfilling his duty as a lawyer, working to minimize losses for his client."

Mr. Know All is now gravely ill, in a pitiful state

She would deliberately clarify to him that there were no feelings between her and Shi Jingwei beyond that of ordinary friends; however, she herself had never realized that, in moments of unintentionality, the familiarity she displayed upon hearing the name Shi Jingwei had already deeply stirred his jealousy

Songpa, what are you talking about

Ming Ai Hua stated that all rumors regarding "Cheng Songpo, the heir of the Golden Triangle drug lord," are part of a malicious scheme orchestrated by the vast media network behind Cheng Songpo to hype him up

Lu Mingmei smiled coldly, remaining silent.

If the time and latitude are not set, gently resting the upper eyelid on the lower eyelid can be considered an affirmative response

Without a moment's hesitation, Lu Mingmei instinctively slammed the small suitcase hard against him, followed by a resounding slap on his mask.

Cannot find him

Only Lu Mingmei has not yet realized, but he knows that Shi Jingwei will eventually make her understand that the vast sea has turned into mulberry fields

She vehemently criticized such irresponsible sensationalism

The person who came was naturally Shi Jingwei. He had a long-standing friendship with the other party's lawyer, who happened to have car trouble, so he called Shi Jingwei to pick him up. Lu Mingmei was quite surprised that Shi Jingwei had such a close relationship with this lawyer. She certainly understood that Shi Jingwei's line of work would lead him to meet all kinds of people, yet Shi Jingwei actually claimed that he and that lawyer had been partners in card games for many years, having a friendship as close as sharing the same pair of pants.

Lu Mingmei was shocked by the shamelessness of her colleague's ex-husband, and she was infuriated by the lawyer's ability to twist black into white. The outcome was evident; her colleague lost the lawsuit, suffering both financial and personal losses. Outside the courtroom, her colleague got into a dispute with the opposing lawyer. Lu Mingmei wanted to mediate but found it difficult to intervene. As the argument escalated towards a potential brawl, suddenly, a person appeared and blocked her colleague's handbag from striking the opposing lawyer.

Cheng Songpo reluctantly tugged at the corners of his lips, stood up, and began to pack his luggage. He did not have much here at Lu Mingmei's place, just three to five pieces of clothing for change, a MacBook, totaling no more than a backpack.

Whether it is to broaden one's horizons or to increase one's knowledge

If he said that the initial draft of the interview with Jingwei had come over and was written quite well, she would dismissively curl her lip and say: "This guy has only this skill left to make a living."

Lu Mingmei clapped her hands, signaling everyone to stand up, "You don't need me to remind you, do you remember the date when that fine was issued?"

If it were not for Stella seeing the reports of the translation being reposted on foreign websites, he would still be immersed in the splendid dream of being able to be with Lu Mingmei forever

"Shi Jingwei, ask yourself, how has Cheng Songpo offended you? He has only a small wish, to retrieve his father's ashes. He told me that the Myanmar side had privately agreed! If you hadn't suddenly intervened, would it have turned into today's situation? My mother wants to eliminate him completely to cover up the events of the past, and what about you? What is your motive? Can you place your hand on your heart and say that everything you have done is out of curiosity?" My mother wants to eliminate him completely to cover up the events of the past, and what about you? What is your motive? Can you place your hand on your heart and say that everything you have done is out of curiosity?"

Ah, yes, especially since it is not beneficial for you, right

In the stillness of the night, only the gasps of a man and a woman could be heard, followed by the sound of fabric tearing. Her chiffon blouse was ripped apart, and a kiss as fierce as fire branded her neck like a scorching iron. His chest was burning hot, pressed tightly against her bare skin, causing her to tremble uncontrollably. However, at that moment, Ji Jingwei released her, pausing for no more than two seconds, before Lu Mingmei slapped her again.

The phone rang sharply, it was a text message from Jingwei, very brief: Boarding now, the weather is nice, the flight is on time, see you tonight

Unexpectedly, Shi Jingwei remained silent until the taxi arrived at his residential community. Lu Mingmei helped him take his luggage out of the trunk and couldn't help but ask: "Shi Jingwei, do you have nothing to say to me?"

Lu Mingmei shot him a distrustful glance and returned to the page she had just been viewing, where she indeed found a statement from the Myanmar government. The subsequent reactions triggered by Shi Jingwei's article far exceeded Lu Mingmei's expectations, as Cheng Songpo had already gained fame in Europe, leading to related news being quickly translated into various languages and circulated online. After Cheng Songpo admitted that he had been swapped and escaped from Myanmar years ago, and called on the Myanmar government to release the son of the detained Deputy Zhang, the Myanmar government did not respond at all. However, following the publication of Ming Ai Hua's article this morning, the Myanmar government swiftly held a small press conference and invited the 'son of the drug lord' living in Yangon, declaring that all recent family rumors regarding the deceased drug lord were false; furthermore, the Manxingdie region has been developing in an orderly manner under the management of the Myanmar government and will not experience any turmoil due to the so-called 'escaped drug lord's orphan.'

Lu Mingmei suddenly embraced him from behind, "Song Po, don't go," her tears flowed uncontrollably, "It was my mistake, I shouldn't have trusted him."

The phone remained unreachable. After recalling all the possible places Cheng Songpo might have gone, Lu Mingmei could not find any omissions. Shi Jingwei finally drove her back to the newspaper office, and it was already midnight; both of them were utterly exhausted. Lu Mingmei took off her high heels and sat down on the carpet, weakly asking: "Where was his statement first issued this morning?"

Lu Mingmei has learned her lesson this time; she did not directly agree to Shi Jingwei's request, but merely replied lightly: "You overestimate me too much. Thanks to you, Cheng Songpo and I have already broken up, so do not expect me to be able to help you."

She asked pitifully

Ming Ai Hua always has a way to strike a fatal blow; she can make people unwilling yet compelled to comply with her arrangements without even lifting a finger. Ten years ago, she merely informed Cheng Songpo that Lu Mingmei was her daughter, presenting the pros and cons, which led Cheng Song to obediently travel to Italy. Later, she could coldly retort to Lu Mingmei's malicious words—do you think your love is great? If so, why did Cheng Songpo choose to accept my arrangement to study abroad?

Lu Mingmei closed the page she had just finished reading, turned around, and smiled as she asked Shi Jingwei, "So, what brings you to see me?"

Lu Mingmei intuitively felt that she was too naive. She had known from the beginning that he was such a person. What difference was there between his despicable actions today and the deeds of Ming Aihua from over a decade ago?

Because he is 12580, Mr. Know All!

Lu Mingmei stood up, swaying unsteadily, and groped for the air conditioning switch to turn off the cold air, yet she still trembled all over. ... Looking again at Shi Jingwei's "sincere" face, she truly did not know how to describe it, along with her mother, Ming Aihua, a renowned war correspondent ... . ... It was indeed a collusion, a disgraceful partnership. The absurdity was that she had to consider their proposal. Looking again at Shi Jingwei's "sincere" face, she truly did not know how to describe it, along with her mother, Ming Aihua, a renowned war correspondent ... . ... It was indeed a collusion, a disgraceful partnership. The absurdity was that she had to consider their proposal

I am sorry

Cheng Songpo reached out to pat her head, smiled and nodded, picked up his simple luggage, and gently closed the door amidst Lu Mingmei's eager anticipation

Lu Mingmei could not help but sneer; it turned out that lies could be so intricately interwoven. Ming Aihua had once risen to power by betraying Cheng Songpo's father, and the role that Editor Wang played in this remains unknown, as the dead know nothing. In any case, such nonsense serves to erase Ming Aihua's own blemishes, as well as those of Shi Jingwei. Since Cheng Songpo is not the orphan of a drug lord, he cannot prove that Ming Aihua's rise to power was achieved through betrayal; since all of this is a result of the declining moral standards and rampant malicious hype in society, Shi Jingwei is merely a pawn being used by others.

They are aware of the trajectory of everything in the past and future, yet they are powerless to change it, watching helplessly as time flows by and the vegetation withers and flourishes

"You are quite the storyteller, Shi Jingwei," Lu Mingmei did not hide the sarcasm in her words. "But after someone has told too many lies, how can you expect me to believe you again? I... I still remember the time I came here to find you. You were on the phone, and Xiao Zhao said someone was going to commit suicide over love, calling into the radio station. The host heard that the listener really liked your articles, so they asked you to intervene. Do you remember what you said that time? You told them about a classmate's girlfriend who had a terminal illness, and how they supported each other through thick and thin, how the boy ignited the girl's will to live, and then after the girl died, how the boy managed to live on bravely.

You spun it like a prime-time drama! Look, no matter how complex or bizarre the story, you can always pull it off effortlessly! I now suspect... your story of being abducted is probably another lie you fabricated. Look, no matter how complex or bizarre the story, you can always pull it off effortlessly! I now suspect... your story of being abducted is probably another lie you fabricated. Of course, this time you made it even more convincing! I really admire you, I do, Shi Jingwei. Among all the people I have met, you are the only one who knows that others won't believe you, yet still tells the whole story in such a convincing way that you even come to believe it is the only truth! Perhaps this is why, at such a young age, you have achieved such heights in this field. Among all the people I have met, you are the only one who knows that others won't believe you, yet still tells the whole story in such a convincing way that you even come to believe it is the only truth! Perhaps this is why, at such a young age, you have achieved such heights in this field. You can't do it without some solid psychological resilience, am I right?"

Lu Mingmei coldly laughed and said, "Moreover, the name Acha is not one you are permitted to call."

Lu Mingmei did not hide her sarcasm at all. Shi Jingwei felt a slight sense of despondency, and his smile took on a hint of sadness, "You have ten years to wait for him, yet you don't even have two minutes to explain to me?"

Although she does not know what reason Shi Jingwei will use to persuade her

Shi Jingwei looked at her with disappointment, his expression resembling that of someone who is frustrated by unfulfilled potential. "Many things are not as simple as you see them. Even if you don't care about how the teacher feels, at least you care about Cheng Songpo, right? Do you want him to be tied to this place, the Golden Triangle, with a relationship that he can never escape for a lifetime?"

Under this pretext, can you act as an accomplice to the tiger and assist the tyrant in their cruelty

Lu Mingmei lowered her head, her earlier sharpness diminished, and she felt only sorrow in her heart

Lu Mingmei was momentarily thrown into disarray; she had not anticipated that Shi Jingwei would change his demeanor so drastically. Her hands flailed aimlessly, grasping only at the unyielding carpet beneath her. As she regained some clarity, she was acutely aware of Shi Jingwei's presence, as he relentlessly claimed every inch of territory within reach. Her hands and feet were completely restrained by Shi Jingwei, and a sense of dread washed over Lu Mingmei. She had never imagined that Shi Jingwei could be such a man; she thought he was merely eloquent, believing that no matter how recklessly she attacked him, he would remain a gentleman who only spoke without resorting to violence. Little did she know that a man like him could be so terrifying when provoked. She attempted to bite him, but found no place to exert any force, and waves of fear and panic surged over her, as if a torrential flood were crashing down upon her.

If you have never considered publishing, then why do you write

Lu Mingmei leaned over and coldly said: "Aren't you acting on emotion?"

"What you hate is the teacher," Shi Jingwei said with a bitter smile, a myriad of unwillingness and helplessness filling his chest, yet unable to be expressed, he could only state such a simple fact. In reality, even if he had known these things a little earlier, what difference would it have made? It would only mean knowing the reason for his death sentence, and then waiting for death with even more helplessness and resentment.

Time and again, Ji Jingwei rolled his eyes at the ceiling with great force, angrily banging on the table and saying: "Lu Mingmei, can you please stop being so sarcastic?"

With a single sentence, he captivated Lu Mingmei. Does she wish to be entangled with the Golden Triangle for the rest of her life?

Time has passed, and his thoughts are in disarray. Now he finally understands why Lu Mingmei said to him when they first met, "One day you will become a traitor, betraying those who have deeply believed in you." He knows that Lu Mingmei once longed for her mother's care, but this care was ultimately extinguished by prolonged anticipation and the disappointment that followed. By the time Ming Aihua awakens to this reality, it is already too late

On what basis?

Please express your thoughts clearly

Now, everything that has happened to Dazhu is probably self-inflicted? Lu Mingmei thought, during the past six months of knowing Shi Jingwei, she had not lacked opportunities to see his true nature. On the contrary, there were too many clues that had proven what kind of person Shi Jingwei was.

Indeed, regardless of the circumstances at that time, she should not have disclosed the secret related to Cheng Songpo's life to anyone.

Shi Jingwei supported his forehead, rubbing the Tai Zu point forcefully. After a while, he sighed helplessly and said, "OK, let's not discuss this for now. Lu Mingmei, I ask you to seriously and carefully consider our proposal. Neither the teacher nor I intend for Cheng Songpo to deny his statement; our proposal is, " Shi Jingwei articulated word by word, "to ask him to remain silent."

It was something that should have been thought of earlier; Shi Jingwei was indeed a person who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals. That night, he may have had the intention to comfort her, but by the time the sun rose, he realized the utilitarian value of this story. What is a friend worth, and what is a teacher worth

In his childhood, the book that his father taught him to read stated, "There is nothing softer or weaker than water in the world, yet there is no strong force that can overcome it"

There is truly no doubt about it; the magazine clearly bears the name of Shi Jingwei. Given Shi Jingwei's reputation and status in the media circle today, who would dare to use his name without knowing the details? There are only about three to five people in total. Aside from Shi Jingwei, who else would publish an article?

Oh, do you now acknowledge Cheng Songpo's identity? Weren't you adamantly claiming in newspapers, magazines, and online that this was malicious hype?

On what basis?

At that time, when she questioned Shi Jingwei in this manner, Shi Jingwei smiled indifferently and said, "Lu Mingmei, it is time to face this cruel reality, let go of those beautiful illusions about this world."

Cheng Songpo's steps became difficult. Originally intending to reach out to her, his hand suddenly changed direction while suspended in mid-air. He slowly turned around, one hand caressing her head and the other gently resting on her back. When he spoke again, he found himself somewhat choked up, "I overestimated myself, thinking that returning... thinking that returning would change everything"

Perhaps this is the reason why the present tense and longitude and latitude are so unrestrained

She knows that the situation at Cheng Songpo's place is undoubtedly a mess, but she is aware that Shi Jingwei and Ming Aihua are even more anxious now. Reputation is what they rely on to survive in this industry. In order to turn the situation around, Shi Jingwei and Ming Aihua may be willing to offer more than just this

How is it impossible

Time and space avoided the sharpness of the conversation, and with a serious expression, he said, "I have come to inform you that the teacher has returned to the country"

Lu Mingmei shrugged her shoulders, her expression one of disdain, "What a pity, we've known each other for so long, and you are still alive"

Seeing that Lu Mingmei was somewhat swayed, Shi Jingwei seized the opportunity to persuade her: "Moreover, Myanmar has been in turmoil for a long time. Associating with such a place will inevitably lead to troubles in the future. Cheng Songpo is now an artist; do you wish for him to continue to be in the spotlight for matters unrelated to painting?"

Lu Mingmei's expression returned to the way it was when she first met Shi Jingwei, with her delicate features and slightly proud demeanor, the only disdain and contempt stemming from Shi Jingwei, who was sitting opposite her. Shi Jingwei sat on the carpet with his knees drawn up, trying to make a final appeal, "Why don't you consider that perhaps you have misunderstood the teacher?"

In fact, it should have been anticipated. When he first arrived, seeing Shi Jingwei always smiling willingly while allowing Lu Mingmei to ridicule him both in front of others and behind his back, he constantly persuaded himself that it was merely a professional habit of Shi Jingwei.

Look, he had warned her before. He always mocked her for dealing with the most difficult clients every day, fully aware that everyone in the world is driven by profit, yet she still harbored unrealistic and beautiful fantasies about people and situations, believing that fairness, justice, and morality could measure everything

Shi Jingwei pursed his lips, took a deep breath, and said, "In fact, the truth is quite shocking. I followed this case throughout, but in the end, I did not publish that article; instead, I replaced it with a more balanced piece."

The following content is more intriguing, as Ming Aihua provides a detailed analysis of Cheng Songpo's background. She claims to have been entrusted by Editor Wang to secretly support Cheng Songpo, taking care of him and nurturing him to pursue a career in painting. Between the lines, there are implications that Cheng Songpo has an unspeakable relationship with Editor Wang. Thanks to Ming Aihua's strong interpersonal connections in this field, even the widow of Editor Wang seems to tacitly acknowledge Ming Aihua's statements.

A few days ago, due to Lu Mingmei's illness, Cheng Songpo packed a few pieces of clothing and moved over to stay with her. She hurried back home and, from a distance, saw Cheng Songpo at the entrance of the community, next to the newsstand, talking to the owner about something, and then paid to buy a magazine

Ming Ai Hua categorically denied everything said by Cheng Song Po, firmly asserting that Cheng Song Po was an orphan adopted by Editor-in-Chief Wang back in the day

The truth was accidentally obtained outside of my interview. At that time, I was interviewing a party involved, and when I left midway, I forgot to turn off the recording pen, inadvertently capturing a segment of the interviewee's phone call, which was quite explosive. From an ethical standpoint, I have no right to publish this content, but... out of a professional habit, I still wrote a complete article detailing everything I knew.

Shi Jingwei continues to be a positive and prominent news reporter and columnist

I believe in you

The most suffering person in the world is not the foolish beings who struggle painfully, unaware of the present moment, but rather the prophets who can clearly understand the past and foresee the future

She believes that in this life and the next, she will never forgive Shi Jingwei, never forgive, never forgive

The title of the double-faced hero likely originates from this context. He is notorious in countries plagued by drug issues around the world, yet he is adored by the people of the Golden Triangle, regarded as their savior. Particularly in recent years, many regions in the Golden Triangle have not received the substantial funding originally promised by various governments after a comprehensive drug ban, leading to a significant decline in the region's economy and a serious drop in living standards. Local residents have begun to reminisce about this general, who once adopted a tough stance against the governments of neighboring countries, ensuring the orderly development of the Golden Triangle.

Like Lingchi

The right column of the topic presents a different scene

Cheng Songpo glanced deeply in the direction of Lu Mingmei, causing her blood to run cold and her feet to feel as if they were nailed to the ground, unable to move. Cheng Songpo did not approach; he merely stood in front of the newsstand, flipping through a magazine with an expressionless face. The sound of the pages turning seemed to strike at her heart. As Cheng Songpo flipped through the magazine, he casually glanced back at her.

Shi Jingwei accompanied her to request leave from the bank president. The president was somewhat surprised and asked if she had encountered any difficulties recently. Lu Mingmei only mentioned it was a family matter, and the president approved her leave. Cheng Songpo's phone was already unreachable. Seeing that Shi Jingwei had driven over, Lu Mingmei asked him to take her to Cheng Songpo's residence. However, Shi Jingwei hesitated and said, "The place he lives... actually, we have already been there."

It is already unforgivable in any case

Shi Jingwei pressed his forehead in despair, almost infuriated, "Lu Mingmei, stop causing trouble. Continuing to hold on to this matter is not beneficial for anyone!"

Lu Mingmei felt bewildered when she read it for the first time. Upon a careful second reading, she analyzed the subtle hints conveyed between the lines, and while she admired it, she could not help but feel a chill at the ruthlessness of Ming Aihua.

He has an agency team in Italy to assist him with the art exhibition, and the official website handles other miscellaneous tasks. It is only for the exhibition in Shanghai that he requested to manage it personally. You can see the requests he made to the Myanmar government online; they were published on his official website, and he also sent a copy to several major media outlets in the country via email.

Lu Mingmei scoffed coldly

What is even more tragic is that they truly possess such abilities

Shi Jingwei was exceptionally angry, his fist striking fiercely against the armrest of the sofa beside him, as he sternly asked: "Lu Mingmei, can you be a bit more rational and not be so emotional?"

Ginger is spicy when it is old, and Ming Aihua is truly not someone ordinary to compare with. Lu Mingmei was initially surprised as to why her mother did not inform her upon returning, but instead seemed to have a tacit understanding with Shi Jingwei. Now she finally understands that Ming Aihua and Shi Jingwei are indeed a lineage of master and disciple, an unparalleled partnership.

Ming Ai Hua's criticism is directed at all media, from print to online. The so-called law does not hold the masses accountable; bringing down a multitude means that no one has truly been brought down. She claims that all of this is mere hype, and thus it is the media's fault, unrelated to Shi Jingwei. Shi Jingwei is either being exploited or deceived. In short, Shi Jingwei did not intentionally betray his mentor; he was simply misled, believing he had uncovered some truth. Even in the face of this journalistic truth, he was willing to betray his mentor. What a great journalist! In summary, Shi Jingwei did not intentionally betray his mentor; he was merely misled, thinking he had discovered some truth, and even in the face of this journalistic truth, he was willing to betray his mentor. What a great journalist!

You have a ticket in your car for speeding on the highway section to Yu'an

Shijinglei attempted to persuade Lu Mingmei, "As for Cheng Songpo, we have ways to make him comply. The teacher has previously entered the Golden Triangle region and has maintained contact with several government officials in Myanmar over the years. They have agreed that as long as Cheng Songpo remains silent on this matter, they can consider privately releasing the son of that officer, and they can also allow Cheng Songpo to privately return the remains to his home country."

Shi Jingwei was still wearing a mask, making it impossible to discern his expression. After a long while, he nodded slightly

After reconfirming the arrival time of Shi Jingwei's flight, Lu Mingmei requested a half-day leave from the bank president. There was no way for Shi Jingwei to escape upon his return, but what about Cheng Songpo? Would he have already seen this magazine?

Time sighed lightly and said in a low voice: "The Myanmar government cannot publicly admit that they initially detained the wrong person, do you understand?"

Lu Mingmei fell silent, knowing that what Shi Jingwei said was not false. Cheng Songpo's greatest wish was nothing more than to reclaim his father's ashes, which was the most humble request of a son; yet they, Ming Aihua and Shi Jingwei, were now actually using such conditions to coerce Cheng Songpo

Concise and clear, with unambiguous meaning, Lu Mingmei felt completely weak, lacking even the strength to press the "Return" key. Grasping the doorknob, she slowly stood up, tidied the magazine on the coffee table, read it carefully once more, then went to the bathroom to wash her face, preparing to head to the airport

Shi Jingwei's expression changed drastically, first turning pale and then flushing red. He gripped the armrest of the sofa beside him, the muscles on his face twitching faintly, yet his voice suddenly dropped, "How did you know?"

This incident is similar; you must understand that after being in this profession for a long time, many things become habitual. When I write manuscripts, it is also a habit; for stories that are significant and resonate with me, I always handwrite them. Coincidentally, that week, I had completed a column for another magazine, and I had prepared several issues of the manuscript stored on a USB drive. However, due to a fever from a cold, I became muddled and forgot to send it out before returning to Jiangcheng. Later, the editor there called to inquire, and I instructed Xiao Zhao to deliver the USB drive from my drawer directly to him. Xiao Zhao is usually careless in his work, and that day he could not find the USB drive but instead found my handwritten novel in another drawer. Unaware of the gravity of the situation, he sent it out. The editor there was a newcomer and was not aware of many details; after proofreading, he prepared it for publication. I had been writing that column for several years, and the chief editor, being reassured, did not scrutinize it closely.

Why not say that she is willing to go to any lengths to cover up her betrayal of Cheng Songpo's father?

Cheng Songpo finally understood that the impulsive decision he made in his youth to let go was not merely about giving up the ten years spent alongside Lu Mingmei

She also has this big stick in her hand, but she gave it up herself. Who can be blamed for that? If a person does not love themselves and does not understand how to protect themselves, why should they expect someone to love and protect them?

This time she intends to take matters into her own hands, indicating the seriousness of the situation. However, Ming Aihua remains astute; her attacks are not directed at Cheng Songpo, but rather she unleashes her full artillery against the newspaper, art dealers, and media responsible for organizing the art exhibition behind the scenes

Shijinglei's gaze swept across her face, smiling somewhat absentmindedly, "It seems you have something to ask me."

As Shi Jingwei nodded, Lu Mingmei shook her head and coldly laughed, "How amusing, she has returned, and you knew before I did?"

In this way, you can all turn black into white and claim it is the hype of the management team

The time and space refer to the original theme page, "Take a look at the response from the Myanmar government in the middle."

This master and disciple can spontaneously and consciously guide the development of events to a situation that is most advantageous to themselves, even without prior planning

After Cheng Songpo entered the room, he threw the magazine onto the coffee table. He sat on the sofa, while Lu Ming stood beside him. After a while, she sat down on a nearby armchair. She cautiously raised her eyes to steal a glance at Cheng Songpo, but unexpectedly, she did not receive any questions or reprimands from him. He appeared weary, with a sorrowful expression, staring at her intently, his gaze greedy—as if he wanted to take in all of her at once.

Shi Jingwei's face alternated between red and white, becoming increasingly sinister and terrifying under the night’s shadow. Lu Mingmei was just standing up when suddenly, her arm was yanked by Shi Jingwei, causing her to fall to the ground. Before she could regain her senses, Shi Jingwei's face had already descended upon her, forcefully sealing her lips and tongue.

Occasionally, he would feign nonchalance and mention Shijingwei in casual conversation. For instance, when he said he borrowed a book from Shijingwei to read, she would naturally respond, "Someone like that can have taste?"

Lu Mingmei looked at him in confusion, "What did you say?"

Her solemn vow was just like when she used to model for him, "I won't move, I promise, not a single movement, no matter how many hours it takes!"

Cheng Songpo smiled and nodded slightly, while Lu Mingmei hurriedly added: "And then never meet him again"

The matter arose because of you; if you had not written that article, this issue would not have come to light at all. Moreover, you are overestimating me; why would Cheng Songpo listen to me? If I were to ask him to remain silent, would he really say nothing at all?

Lu Mingmei was taken aback, not expecting the first words she heard to be like this. Cheng Songpo sighed softly again, his expression dejected, and after a long pause, he said quietly: "Perhaps I should not have come back"

No matter how unwilling he is, Shi Jingwei must still face this reality: he will always be a latecomer

Are you blaming me

Cheng Songpo's hand still rested on Lu Mingmei's hair, the soft strands winding around his fingers, but ultimately slipped away. He sighed silently, enduring the pain as he pried open her arms that were wrapped around his waist. Lu Mingmei raised her head defiantly, hurriedly explaining: "That time... that time I had a quarrel with you, drank a few glasses of wine, and he advised me... I... I had been holding these things in for a long time, and I just wanted to find someone to talk to, I really didn't expect him to..." She suddenly fell silent, for Cheng Songpo was calmly gazing at her, his expression showing no sign of being moved by her words, which made her even more flustered. "Songpo, I have nothing with him, believe me."

Shi Jingwei surprisingly remained calm. After a long silence upon hearing her words, he said: "Acha, you know better than anyone that Cheng Songpo might stop at nothing to retrieve his father's ashes."

Lu Mingmei wanted to say, "Haven't your parents picked you up?" But then she thought, it is indeed possible that Shi Jingwei's parents would be so at ease with their son; she also counted Shi Jingwei's friends on her fingers, such as Xi Siyong or Cheng Bing, and after calculating, the conclusion was that someone like Shi Jingwei really doesn't need anyone to pick him up at the airport

However, she immediately thought that he was never truly worthy of forgiveness, as he had already committed so many despicable and vile acts, any one of which would be enough to be eternally nailed to the cross

She revealed to Shi Jingwei the only secret that they had buried deep for a long time, which, for Cheng Songpo, was an unforgivable betrayal in itself. She could not bear to imagine Cheng Songpo's anger, just as it had been so many years ago when he discovered that she was Ming Aihua's daughter. At that time, his resentment pierced her to the bone like poisoned silver needles. Being someone’s daughter was not a choice she could make; Cheng Songpo felt this way many years ago, let alone now

As the author of "Infiltration in the Golden Triangle," Ming Aihua is a firsthand witness to many disputes between the Myanmar government and armed groups in the Manxingdie region. She has conducted field investigations into the political, economic, educational, and cultural conditions of Manxingdie and has had contact with several high-ranking officials of the armed groups in the area. After being detained and subsequently released in Manxingdie, she was received by international anti-drug organizations and officials from the Myanmar government. Regarding the authenticity of the statements made by Jin Yi and Cheng Songpo, in today's world, only Ming Aihua has the authority to speak on the matter.

I state the facts

In fact, she cannot sit still for even three minutes

He gently closed the door, burying over a decade of time, leaving her mind blank and unable to organize any thoughts

That kind of demeanor and tone seemed to her merely as trivial as sunlight and air, akin to the threads of time and space.

That was last year's news, with content and title equally succinct. The world-renowned drug lord and leader of the local military forces in Shan State, Cheng XX, once controlled the heroin trade in the Golden Triangle region at the junction of Myanmar, Laos, and Thailand. At the height of his power, he commanded a military force of tens of thousands, and was a high-profile drug lord wanted by the United Nations. In the 1990s, he signed a peace agreement with the Myanmar government, which subsequently provided him with protection, allowing him to live under house arrest in Yangon and spend the rest of his life quietly. The latter part of the article describes the people's nostalgia for this drug lord in the Golden Triangle, noting that he established schools, promoted education, and constructed water conservancy projects in the region. He had a military force of tens of thousands at his peak, was a high-profile drug lord wanted by the United Nations, signed a peace agreement with the Myanmar government in the 1990s, and received protection from the government, living under house arrest in Yangon for the remainder of his life. The article further highlights the people's reminiscence of this drug lord, who initiated educational developments and attempted to achieve a drug-free Golden Triangle through localized anti-drug efforts.

He thought he could finally let go of all his emotional burdens and make amends for the time he had lost with her, yet little did he expect that a day in the mountains could equate to a thousand years in the world

Lu Mingmei carefully read the article published by her mother this morning, unsure of how to describe her feelings

Now they want to silence Cheng Songpo completely, in order to cover up all the unethical things they have done

The office was unlit, with only the faint glow of the streetlights outside softly spilling in.

It is coordinated so seamlessly!

Cheng Songpo remains a renowned young painter on the international stage

Shijing Wei also took off his leather shoes, sat beside Lu Mingmei, and gazed at her for a long time before finally asking: "Is this the reason you have always disliked me?"

Shi Jingwei shook his head in disappointment, "Lu Mingmei, is this the kind of person I am in your eyes?"

Cheng Songpo had neither the mood nor the interest to understand under what circumstances Shi Jingwei wrote such an article; he only knew that the many secrets he and she had held onto for years had long been ground to ashes in the passage of time

Sometimes she truly despises Ming Aihua. Ten years ago, and ten years later, whenever she thinks of the various means Ming Aihua employed to tear apart her and Cheng Songpo, she cannot help but feel a hatred so intense that it feels as if her heart is bleeding. However, on the other hand, she also fears her mother's methods; that feeling of resentment coupled with a sense of powerlessness evokes fear.

Lu Mingmei became increasingly perplexed, "Then where do you want me to go to persuade him?"

Lu Mingmei steeled her heart, deliberately making her smile a bit more serious, "No need, I will take you back first, and then let the driver take you to my house."

Three years ago, there was a second-tier actor who committed suicide, do you remember

Shi Jingwei gave a wry smile and shrugged his shoulders, reaching out to pull the keyboard from Lu Mingmei's desk, typing in a website. It turned out that the incident between Cheng Songpo and Ming Aihua had caused quite a stir, with a portal website creating a special feature on it, and various experts expressing their opinions and discussing their views on the matter. The prominent image in the center was striking, depicting a Buddhist temple with Burmese characteristics, linked to an old news article: A Double-Faced Hero, Died in Yangon.

He gently struggled out of her embrace, and Lu Mingmei shook her head in disappointment, "You are still blaming me."

Is that article written by you

As for Ming Ai Hua, she continues to live on the altar of the battlefield, forever filled with compassion for the people in impoverished areas, always at the forefront of the tumultuous battlefield...

Lu Mingmei's rationality told herself not to listen to this person ramble on, as this person had his own set of logic to embellish the truth. If given the chance, he might even be able to exonerate Qin Hui. However, for some reason, her curiosity was still piqued, and she genuinely wanted to know how Shi Jingwei could possibly defend himself against such irrefutable evidence

Never has there been a moment that makes Cheng Songpo regret more than now, those ten years of departure

The article was written by me, as I have already gathered sufficient information to prove that what I wrote is the truth of the matter—though it may not be the entirety of the truth. However, I never intended to publish this article; you know that I was on vacation when it was published. If I wanted to publish it, why wouldn't I place it in my own magazine that I edit? My magazine features my column in every issue; if I included it there, it would also help increase sales for my magazine, resulting in better year-end performance, wouldn't it?

In the face of their interests, there are no eternal enemies, nor is there permanent betrayal; there is only mutual exploitation and the attainment of one's own benefits
