“Say, the communists are quite canny. Shanghai, Hong Kong, Shantou, Tai Po, Paris … ” Wang Tianfeng sighed, “Impressive. If it weren’t for us cracking the intelligence collection station in Harbin, we could’ve never imagined in our wildest dreams that there was a station in Paris. The Harbin police should’ve turned over that commie traitor for us to interrogate.”
“Stop dreaming.” Ming Lou said quietly, “Didn’t you see that smug face of that Harbin police chief Kou Rong?”
“Each man’s got to do what he can for himself.” Wang Tianfeng isn’t willing to give up without a fight. “Unfortunately I got hit in round 1.”
“Pull yourself together.” Ming Lou said.
“Hey, when are you going to take a bullet for me?”
“I wasn’t there.”
“Every time I get lucky, you’re not there. Every time you’ve hit the jackpot, I’m always there.” Wang Tianfeng suddenly smacked the coffee table, making all the cups and trays on the coffee table shake.
“What’s going on?” Ah-Cheng yelled from the kitchen.
“Nothing,” Ming Lou responded, then turned and yelled, “Nuthead, does it kill you to be a bit normal.”
“Oh, the scholar is cursing, too.”
“Do you know who told?” Ming Lou added randomly.
“A traitor among the commies. ” Wang Tianfeng took out a pack of cigarettes, then looked around for something.
“What are you looking for?”
“Ashtray.”
“Who is Ashtray ?”
“I’m actually looking for an ashtray,” Wang Tianfeng lit a cigarette. Ming Lou took a random cup on the coffee table and gave it to him to use as an ashtray.
“I don’t really know who Ashtray is. I found some minion of Kou Rong and gave him some money. He only told me Ashtray is a woman. She used to be in Harbin but is now in Paris.”
“Going the long route. ” Ming Lou pondered, “Why didn’t she go from Harbin directly to the Soviet Union?”
“She wants to, but they’ve got the traitor among them. They couldn’t get through the rails directly there, so she wanted to take a roundabout through Western Europe…” Want Tianfeng said, “I only know so much. The Harbin police wants the credit for this catch badly. They’re competing with us to get her. They won’t share their intelligence. One of their men even got killed by Ashtray’.”
“Ashtray sure is ruthless.” Ming Lou sighed.
“Sure. We catch her tonight, and add a charge of murder for her.” Wang Tianfeng said.
“You’re sure of the place tonight?”
“Who knows. Kou Rong’s underling told me Ashtray often appears on Avenue des Champs-Élysées.”
After a while, Ah-Cheng came out with hot coffee, milk, baguettes, and charcuterie. “I didn’t know you would come all of a sudden. I only have these right now. I’ll buy some grocery from the market tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry about tomorrow. We have business to attend to.” Ming Lou said.
“Is Mr. Wang here to teach in Paris?”
“Looking for a friend,” Wang Tianfeng responded.
“Maybe I can help you.”
“Thanks,” Ming Lou said. “You just worry about your books.”
Ming Chengheard those words and slightly lowered his head with a bit of shame.
The food is nothing special, but to Wang Tianfeng, it’s already better than usual.He had no reservations about digging in.
“Sit and eat with us,” Ming Lou told Ah-Cheng.
“I can’t. I’m meeting with a classmate for dinner. I have class later, and then I have to deliver new flower teas to a couple of flower shops. ”
“You really are working?” Ming Lou is a bit surprised. He thought he was just joking.
“Yes. Before graduating, I want to have some real life work experience.”
“Oh, this work of yours, how much do you earn per day?” Wang Tianfeng asked non-nonchalantly.
“In the beginning, 10 francs per day*. After half a month, 15 francs per day.”
“Good, working to earn your own living, unlike your Sir here, a capitalist leech.”
“Mr.Wang, that phrase sounds like it’s got communist leanings.” Ah-Cheng said.
“Don’t speak so rashly! ” Ming Lou stopped Ah-Cheng.
Ah-Cheng smiled with a gentleness and genial elegance intermixed with honesty. (idarklight: what does that even mean???)
“I don’t have a communist leaning. I’m an imperialist.” Wang Tianfeng said.
“Oh, down with imperialism!” Ah-Cheng responded automatically.
Ming Lou laughed this time.
“You punk …” Wang Tianfeng could not respond to Ah-Cheng.
“I have to go. You guys enjoy your meal. The guest bedrooms are all set-up. Don’t wait for me at night. I’ll be back late.” Ah-Cheng left as he finished. (idarklight: he’s saving money but has guest bedrooms? )
After Wang Tianfeng saw Ah-Cheng had closed the door, then said, “He doesn’t seem like a servant at all. He’s gentle, but doesn’t have a bit of subservience.”
“Freedom and liberty are good traits in an individual,” Ming Lou said, ” Plus, no one sees him as a servant at home.”
“Isn’t he a child of one of your servants?”
“His adopted mother was cruel. He’s been through a lot as a child.” Ming Lou’s heart is always heavy when he remembers Ah-Cheng’s past.
“Oh, it seems like Mr. Ming has a heart full of love and compassion.”
“What do you mean?”
“You say that the child is well-read but isn’t an egghead, but I read the smell of Ashtray on him.” Wang Tianfeng’s tone revealed a hint of suspicion.
Ming Lou couldn’t digest the words that Wang Tianfeng said. He stared at his face, enunciating each word, “This child of mine never cared for politics.”
“Understood,” Wang Tianfeng said,”Don’t be nervous, I never said he had anything to do with politics. I’m talking about his tea blossoms. That flower has the scent of Ashtray.”
“Your sinuses have recovered?”
“I’m serious. When I fought with Ashtray, I smelled the aroma of this flower on her.”
“Did you say she attacked you from the back?”
“Yes, so I’m very sensitive to her scent.”
Dead silence, then Ming Lou spoke,” There are many flower shops in Paris.”
“Yes, but our target tonight is the Avenue des Champs-Élysées.”
“You mean to search for a flower shop on the Avenue des Champs-Élysées.”
Wang Tianfeng nodded.
“Continue eating.”
“I have no stomach after looking at the way you cram down your food.” Ming Lou is strangely apprehensive. Sometimes, he really believe in the instincts of this crazy man. His instincts are always so accurate.
