The sky was drizzling and gloomy.
Xu Xingcheng and Xu Xingyuan were wearing black clothes and standing in front of Xu Rui’an’s tombstone under a black umbrella. No one speaks, everyone has their own concerns. To avoid suspicion, Lin Qikai did not accompany his wife to the funeral.
Unexpectedly, they came here with their father to worship their mother not long ago, but now the father is lying here.
Only Xu Xingyuan stepped forward and gave her father a white rose.
Xu Xingcheng and Xu Xingyuan walked into the house, and the butler was instructing people to tear down the red silk. Hong Lan sat on the sofa in the lobby without expression.
Xu Xingcheng stepped forward and stopped sharply. “What are you doing?”
“Master, today is the day when the master is buried, this red silk…”
“Uncle Mao, I will be the owner of this house in the future. The red silk for the wedding should be kept for a month. It is still in my happy period. Do you think the red silk is hanging or plucked?”
There was anger in Xu Xingyuan’s eyes. “brother!”
“Yuanyuan, you should laugh when I’m overjoyed.” Although Xu Xingcheng is gentle with this only sister, what he says is creepy.
Uncle Mao saw the clue and held Xu Xingyuan. “Miss, don’t fight with the young master. The happy event can go to the funeral. The old man is confused and hangs the red silk back for me! Hang it back!”
Xu Xingyuan sighed. “I’m going back to Lin’s house first.”
Xu Xingcheng would not send her off. “Hong Lan! Where’s mom?”
“Mom is tired and needs a long-term rest. I have helped her to rest, and I am also tired.” Hong Lan didn’t want to see him, and wanted to go upstairs.
Xu Xingcheng stopped her. “Hong Lan, go and pour me a glass of water.”
Hong Lan was exhausted physically and mentally. He ignored him and walked upstairs.
“Didn’t you hear what I said!” Before Xu Xingcheng’s voice fell, Hong Lan entered the room on the second floor and closed the door.
Xu Xingcheng clenched a fist, hammered heavily on the sofa, and walked upstairs. He pushed the door and rushed into the room, Hong Lan was sitting in a daze at the dressing table. Xu Xingcheng stepped forward and pulled Hong Lan up.
Hong Lan frowned: “What are you doing?”
“What am I doing? Who did you show that face just now? It doesn’t give me face in front of the servant. Is that what you did to someone’s wife?”
Hong Lan didn’t show weakness, she and Xu Xingcheng had been at odds since they were young. This marriage intensified the conflict between the two to the greatest extent. “Sorry, this is what I did with my wife. I can’t force a smile on someone I don’t like. Whether you like it or not, I’m just like this. I can’t be your wife and let you down.”
Suddenly Xu Xingcheng stepped forward and pushed her hard against the wall, trying to kiss her strongly. “I will teach you how to be someone’s wife today!”
Hong Lan struggled, but to no avail. “Let go of me! Xu Xingcheng, you bastard! I want to tell my father!”
“Your father put you on my bed before getting married. Didn’t he just want to see the love between our couple?” Xu Xingcheng strangled her wrist, his eyes were in her heart.
Hong Lan couldn’t get rid of it, and closed her eyes in despair, two lines of tears streaming down her eyes. “You nonsense…”
Afterwards, Xu Xingcheng picked up the shirt on the ground and fastened it himself. “Take a bath, change clothes, and go back today. Are you not an actor? In front of outsiders, even acting as my wife Xu Xingcheng. Otherwise, I will be unhappy one day, and my pistol will go wrong. It’s hard to tell who hurts!”
This return banquet is destined to change. When Xu Xingcheng arrived at Hong’s house, he unexpectedly discovered that Lin Daoshan was there.
Because of the contradiction between Lin Hong and Xia Anni, they have not interacted for more than ten years. Now that the wicked rectify the Fa, they will naturally have to do a drama to relieve their previous suspicions. Ah. Xu Xingcheng sneered in his heart. There are no permanent enemies and friends, there are only interests and power.
“Starway is here to respect the two elders. The wrong things my father did in the past have already paid the price, and I hope that these unpleasant pasts will not affect the future harmony of our three families.” Xu Xingcheng picked up the glass and drank it.
Hong Zhengbao nodded: “You are also a victim. Uncle Lin and I will not blame you. What are your plans for the future?”
“My father-in-law, I have already reported the death of my father like the chief. The chief knew that the righteousness not only did not blame, but also handed over to me the 19th Army guarding the safety of Shanghai. I think maybe I have the obligation to talk to the two elders. Let’s discuss our future in Shanghai.”
Lin Daoshan and Hong Zhengbao met. “I don’t know what my nephew thinks?”
“Uncle Lin is the best in the economic and cultural world. My father-in-law controls the dark forces in Shanghai. And I do a little more besides politics. It’s just that it’s really inconvenient for me to come forward. He Yang, the owner of the Red Pill Club. Zhenwu is my friend. I want the Red Pill Club to represent me in the company of Lin’s and Hong Bang’s terminal business. I don’t know what the two have in mind?”
Lin Daoshan frowned: “Red Pill Club?”
“That is the Japanese industry!” Hong Zhengbao was surprised. Luo Fusheng withdrew from the gang to distinguish the relationship between the Hong Gang and the Red Pills. How could he let the Hong Wanhui directly participate in the business of the Jinhong Gang.
“China and Japan signed the armistice agreement a long time ago. Now the chief executives are advocating the friendly development of China and Japan. What is the difference between the Japanese and the Chinese? With the strength of our three companies and the escort of the Red Maru Society, the money in Shanghai will be lost. With all the pockets of our three families, our power will be in the midst of the day and no one will be shaken. Wouldn’t it be nice! Why bother about this?
Hong Zhengbao’s face became cold. “When did Hyun-in-law meet a Japanese friend?”
“It’s a coincidence. Father-in-law, I want to do this and also want to give Hong Lan a better future.”
Hong Zhengbao was about to attack and was stopped by Lin Daoshan. “I will think about what you said, but a lot of things have happened this time. My father-in-law and I are old, and now I don’t have the energy to take care of expanding our business. Anyway, the days are still long, and this will be yours in the future, so let’s plan for a long time. Drink and drink.”
Xu Xingcheng touched the soft nail, feeling unhappy, still smiling. “Yes, Starway understands what the two of you mean. Come, presumably the two elderly people must also not be hungry. Let’s eat quickly.”
Lin Daoshan and Hong Zhengbao frowned secretly and accepted the ridicule.
After the meal, Xu Xingcheng and Hong Lan walked out of Hong’s house hand in hand. Hong Zhengbao was reluctant to part with his daughter, but Xu Xingcheng didn’t even give them time to speak his own words. Take Hong Lan directly into the car.
As soon as he got in the car, the smile on his face disappeared, and a hostility appeared, and he pulled off his tie roughly. “Two old things, after all, they look down on me, Xu Xingcheng!”
That being the case, he doesn’t need to be merciful.
Lin Ruomeng had time to go to Huang Xinghan to visit Duan Tianci when his father went out to socialize.
“Sister, you are here. I’m going to give you tea.” Duan Tianci smiled and ran downstairs to pour tea. Lin Ruomeng felt very relieved to see that he was working hard in the Huang’s family, as if he had changed his face to another person.
“Let’s go in and talk.” Huang Xinghan led Lin Ruomeng into the study.
“I checked the letter you gave me last time. We have workers mixed in on the construction site where the open-air ceremonial stand was erected and confirmed that the information is basically true. By then, Shirakawa Yoshihide will sit in the middle of the left side of the podium, and our bomb will be buried in… …”
“Wang Ma, where are Mr. Huang and my sister?” When Duan Tianci returned to the drawing room with tea, there was no one inside.
“They went into the study to talk about things. You don’t need to bring the tea to help me thread the thread. It’s dark and I can’t see clearly. I want to buy a shoe sole.”
“Good.” Duan Tianci put down the tea and sat next to Wang Ma to help her get the needle.
“Hiss.” The needle pierced his finger, and Duan Tianci sucked his finger. Wang Ma groaned: “Why is the young man’s eyes worse than mine.”
She got up and went to the drawer to help him find the potion. “Huh. The medicine box is clearly here, why is it missing?”
“I remember, I put it in the utility room last time.”
“Then I will help you get it.”
“I’ll go by myself. After the needle is pierced, you will continue to do your work.” Duan Tianci put down the needle and thread and walked to the utility room. Paying attention to the small hall, Wang Ma still focused on the soles of her hands.
“I heard that in order to show good to Japan, the Nanjing government sent your father to the Tianchang Festival celebration. You must find a way to remind him to pay attention to safety, but you cannot disclose our plan in advance.”
“For the sake of safety, I will accompany him.”
“That’s fine. Remember that the bomb is buried on the podium on the left. We will wait for your father to go to the main podium before detonating. Remember to make an excuse to leave.”
“it is good.”
“Still failed to convince Luo Fusheng to join us?”
“No way. He’s accustomed to being wild and doesn’t obey. He can’t stand the rules of the organization. Forget it, we can act without him.”
“we can only do this.”
Xu Xingcheng opened the door of a Japanese tea room. Inside, a woman in a kimono knelt down on the futon with her back turned to him. “Commander Xu, I can see you replace your father so quickly. Riga is very happy, please sit down.”
In the future, Nashimoto took out an extra teacup and performed the tea ceremony. That old-fashioned gesture is more like a Chinese than a real Chinese.
“In addition to Luo Fusheng, I want you to help me deal with two more people.”
“Even his father-in-law has to move. As expected of Minister Xu’s son.”
“I haven’t said who it is.”
“Now in Shanghai, besides Hong Zhengbao and Lin Daoshan, who else can threaten you? However, as Lin Daoshan is currently in the Nanjing government, we cannot move for the time being. Your father-in-law is easy to say. But it depends on what you get. Change?”
“I have an important piece of information.” Xu Xingcheng said in her ear. “The Communist Party has made a big move recently, and the target is Shirakawa Yoshitaka. As for who leaked the information of the ceremony. I think you should know it in your mind.”
Nashimoto Miku’s hand pouring tea. “Be more specific.”
