Cai Bingrong, who was at the end of the long table, first sipped the tea in the cup, then lit a cigarette slowly, then blew out a smoke ring into the air, then stood up and walked towards Huating.
How old are you to pose?
Hua Ting rolled her eyes in her heart.
What was strange to her was that there was so much movement on the second floor, but everyone in the cafe turned a blind eye to it.
The same was true for the passing waiters.
She thought that Cai Bingrong must have a good background.
Such a gang feud and killing incident would happen in such an elegant place.
It's not the first time this place has been staged, right?
Hua Ting threw the gun back to the man in black.
The man blew into the muzzle of the gun and gave her an approving look.
He looked to be less than 25 years old.
Although he was also dressed in black, he was very different from Cai Bingrong's other subordinates.
His eyes were shining and he exuded a gentle and elegant aura.
Why did he throw the gun to her so easily?
What if she didn't know how to shoot?
How would they end up?
Cai Bingrong stopped one meter in front of her and opened his mouth to reveal three gold teeth, one tiger tooth on the left and one upper and lower front tooth.
"May I ask which family the little girl is from?"
She was wearing a blue and black silk gown and holding a folding fan.
"You are so brave, little girl."
She took off her hat and handed it to the man in black next to her.
He has a gray-white choppy head, a hooked nose, a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and a haughty expression, giving him the classic look of a gangster.
"Uncle Cai."
Jian Yi's voice sounded behind her.
Cai Bingrong looked over Hua Ting's shoulder and nodded towards him.
"She is Bai Huating, the daughter of Uncle Bai."
Looking at the situation in the room, Jian Yi said with a clear face, "It seems that I missed a wonderful fight."
"Bai Huating."
Cai Bingrong closed his folding fan and took off his sunglasses, "You are Bai Huating, the daughter of the Bai family who just returned to China a month ago."
The scar on his right eye stood abruptly between the upper and lower eyelids, like a dark purple centipede.
She had heard this kind of modeling flower a lot, so she wasn't surprised at all.
It was just that his face didn't look like a good person, so she suspected that she had done the wrong favor.
Cai Bingrong took a step forward, as if he wanted to take a closer look at her.
"So you've grown so big."
A smile appeared on Cai Bingrong's face, "I hugged you a few times when you were 5 years old, but I never saw you again."
This smile actually made Hua Ting see a little bit of humanity.
It turned out to be Bai Qihong’s friend.
"I have no impression."
There was no way, she really didn't recognize him and couldn't laugh.
Cai Bingrong didn't mind either.
"Your father and I haven't seen each other for many years.
I think back then."
The memory seemed to be stuck somewhere.
His smile paused for a moment and he didn't say any more.
Hua listened to silence.

"Say hello to your dad for me."
"good."
Hua Ting was about to say goodbye "By the way, your marksmanship was taught by your father."
Regarding this question, Cai Bingrong showed great interest, and even his smile changed.
"No."
She answered simply.
She had never seen Bai Qihong's shooting skills.
"It doesn't look like it to me."
After he finished speaking, he smiled, with admiration in his eyes, "Then," he put out his cigarette on the white cloth of the square table, raised his hand and saluted her, "I represent Our Dragon Gang thanks you for saving your life.”
When Hua heard this, she immediately shook her head and waved her hands and said, "What did Uncle Cai say?
I was just passing by by chance."
She glanced at the man in black standing behind Cai Bingrong guiltily, "Besides, my marksmanship is not accurate.
It didn’t help much.”
"You must not be passing by by chance."
The man in black stood up as expected, "You were standing there from the beginning to the end."
He pointed at the red and vermillion-lacquered door, "And your marksmanship, I see The entire gang is not even one-tenth as good as you."
After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at her and smiled with his lips pursed.
"Yeah" His eyebrows were shaped like arrows, and his eyes were hot.
He kept staring into her eyes when he spoke, as if he wanted to see through her.
After the man in black said this, Cai Bingrong's tone became even more unacceptable: "Our Dragon Gang always repays kindness."
"Uncle Cai, you are too polite.
Just treat me as someone who draws a sword when there is injustice on the road."
"Hua Ting, please don't say such things.
I must repay this kindness."
Cai Bingrong laughed, and the scar on his right eye trembled slightly with the movement of his facial nerves, like a crawling centipede, "This is It’s not just the rules of our Dragon Gang, it’s also my personal way of doing things.”
It seemed like a centipede would climb on top of his head if he continued to laugh.
Cai Bingrong is not embarrassed when seeing flowers but not speaking.
"Uncle Cai owes you this favor.
If you need help in the future, just come to our Dragon Gang."
Hua Ting doesn't want to have anything to do with the gang, let alone have any human relations with them.
"How about it" Hua Ting was just about to say "Okay" when her eyes fell on the black gun held by the man in black, and an idea came to her mind.
"Uncle Cai, please give me a gun."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Hua Ting added: "In today's society, it is always good for girls to carry a gun for self-defense, right?"
Cai Bingrong smiled: "Hua heard that it makes sense, but looking at the whole of Shanghai, I don't think anyone dares to touch Bai Qihong's daughter."
So should I send it or not?
Seeing Hua Ting's love and desire for guns, Cai Bingrong touched the mustache on his chin and asked: "What kind of gun do you want?"
He glanced around and the man in black was holding it.
It was not an old one.
The gun shell is cracked or has marks on it.
"Uncle Cai will give you a good one someday."
"No, Uncle Cai, I want the one in his hand."
The fingertips fell on the man in black with a calm temperament and a soothing look.
He was not surprised at all by Hua Ting's request, and even threw the gun to her without hesitation.
Hua Ting took it with one hand.

Hua Ting rarely complained about this date, which made Bai Qihong relax his brows and his face was not as cold as before.
I originally thought that the incident between myself and Cai Bingrong in the cafe would never happen again.
Unexpectedly, three days later, Bai Qihong received an invitation, which stated that Cai Bingrong would hold a banquet at the Nianfu Hotel the next day and specially invited Mr.
Bai to serve.
Must bring the whole family to attend.
Bai Qihong was slightly surprised.
In the past ten years, he had no contact with Cai Bingrong.
How could this guy suddenly hold a banquet to reconnect with him?
Thinking of this, Bai Qihong smiled coldly, what did Cai Bingrong have in mind?
Doesn’t he know it yet?
Now Bai Qihong’s company has almost monopolized all the opium business in Shanghai, including the French Concession.
How many people lined up to flatter him and even dreamed of getting close to him.
Why, Cai Bingrong also wanted to join in.
He didn't plan to go at first, but he heard that Cai Bingrong not only hosted a banquet for Jian Maosheng and his son, but also now in Shanghai.
Chen Huanlin, whose status is almost equal to his, will also attend tomorrow's dinner.
Looking at this situation, is it going to reunite the four tycoons?
Hua Ting also learned from Mrs.
Bai that Bai Qihong and Cai Bingrong had a very good relationship ten years ago.
The two had blood-sworn sworn brothers.
At that time, they were just inconspicuous little characters in the gang.
Later, they met in Jian Maosheng and Chen Huanlin, who are carrying goods at the dock, came together because of their similar interests and vowed to make a name for themselves in Shanghai.
Nowadays, the four of them have achieved their own achievements and have fulfilled their wishes back then.
But somehow, the relationship is not as good as before.
Mrs.
Bai only knows that Bai Qihong and Cai Bingrong broke up because of a woman.
It is said that he was acquainted with each other.
Mrs.
Bai had previously fallen in love with a fireworks woman in a singing venue, but for some reason their relationship ended without a problem.
I'm afraid only Bai Qihong and Cai Bingrong know the details.
Nianfu Hotel is located in a building in the most prosperous area of Xuhui District.
It is regarded as one of the most luxurious hotels in this era.
The building is about 60 meters high, with a total of 10 floors.
The exterior wall is made of solid and beautiful brown-red granite, and the roof is paved with blue-gray copper corrugated skin, which reflects the sparkling sunlight and is dazzling.
Entering through the luxurious revolving door, you can see the smooth and bright Spanish marble floor, with tall columns on both sides and the bronze carved chandelier under the ceiling, which is really beautiful.
The people who come and go here are all high-class people and even international dignitaries.
It seems that Cai Bingrong also has strong financial resources.
Hua Ting followed Mr. and Mrs.
Bai to a private room on the 7th floor.
Under the high curved vault, crystal lamps were shining brightly.
The dining table covered with light yellow plaid tablecloth was decorated with exquisite tableware and golden tableware.
Candelabra.
Everyone is here.
In the middle of the table, Cai Bingrong, wearing a silk gown, stood up with a smile to say hello, and asked the waiter to pour French champagne into each glass.
Hua Ting saw Jian Yi, who was sitting next to a fat middle-aged man and winked at her.
Hua Ting looked away, glanced around everyone present, and found that the man in black was also there.

He was sitting next to Cai Bingrong, obviously his confidant.
The guests present all greeted politely for a while, and then entered the toasting and drinking mode.
The atmosphere was not awkward.
Bai Qihong also smiled cooperatively.
"Brother Cai has had a good life these past ten years."
"It's just like that, just hanging around."
Cai Bingrong toasted him, "Brother Bai, you are living a prosperous life."
He smiled so much that the centipede in his right eye twisted.
Bai Qihong took a small sip meaningfully.
"I heard that a few days ago, the arms you smuggled were tampered with."
A trace of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes.
"No, it's my fault for being careless," Cai Bingrong shook his head with a pity look on his face, "A few bastards caused me to lose 500 guns."
What kind of smuggling army?
Sparks choked in his throat when he heard a piece of lobster meat that he was about to swallow.
He immediately picked up the wine glass in front of him and poured it into his mouth.
Since it was smuggling arms, the money in Cai Bingrong's hands must have been stained with a lot of Chinese blood.
Hua Ting swallowed a few sips of champagne, and her throat finally felt smooth.
A man who had just put down his chopsticks and looked older than everyone present was attracted by Hua Ting's actions.
He has kind eyebrows and kind eyes.
He must be in his sixties.
He has deep wrinkles when he smiles.
"The little girl from the Bai family has a good drinker.
No wonder Mr.
Jian likes her."
Although she is older, she is well-dressed, with a white shirt and black vest, and a gold pocket watch chain hanging from the left pocket.
"Yes."
Jian Maosheng smiled and patted his son on the shoulder, "He gets itchy if he doesn't listen to flowers for a day."
It made a group of people present laugh.
"Hua Ting, here's a toast to Uncle Chen."
Bai Qihong's tone was somewhat similar to that of her father Bai.
"You and Uncle Chen haven't seen each other for five years, right?"
The sentence that Huating has heard most since she was a child is "Come on, Huating, I'd like to give you a drink xxx."
The waiter refilled her glass with champagne.
Hua Ting stood up.
"Uncle Chen, I'll do it first, you can do whatever you want."
After saying that, he raised his head and drank a cup of it.
"Okay."
Chen Huanlin's eyes were full of approval, and he drank one cup in three gulps.
"It turns out that Sister Hua has such a good drinking capacity," Jian Yi joined in the fun, "I also want to offer a toast to Sister Hua" with a naughty smile.
Hua Ting rolled her eyes at him and drank another cup.
She didn't need Bai Qihong to remind her next, she knew she had to respect Jian Maosheng.
"Uncle Jian, this is a toast to you."
Fortunately, Hua Ting has been cultivated since she was a child to be able to "never get drunk after a thousand cups", so her father Bai doesn't worry about her various class reunions.
Jian Maosheng did his best.
Next Bai Qihong was about to introduce: "This is Cai" Cai Bingrong interrupted loudly: "Actually, the banquet today is not only to reminisce with everyone, but also to do something else."

The man in black next to him stood up and walked behind the wine table.
"Today I want to solemnly thank Miss Bai for saving her life that day."
After Cai Bingrong finished speaking, the man in black picked up a wooden box the size of an urn from the table.
Bai Qihong was puzzled and his eyes fell on Hua Ting's face.
