Not only Bai Qihong, everyone focused their attention on Hua Ting's face.
"Oh my life-saving grace."
Chen Huanlin looked quite curious.
"That day in Bremen, I was attacked by those bastards.
It happened that the men around me didn't have many weapons.
If it hadn't been for the shot fired by Miss Bai, I might have been killed by those bastards."
He said. , motioning to the man in black next to him to open the lid of the wooden box.
It's a beautiful silver revolver.
Hua Ting has played with this kind of pistol in the shooting camp.
Its roulette loading chamber is a semi-automatic round roulette wheel.
It can rotate and eject duds at any time.
It has a unique structural design, fast reloading and linked firing.
Hua Ting likes it.
One of the gun types.
"So that's it."
Bai Qihong's eyes swept across Hua Ting's face coldly, "Why didn't I know when you learned to shoot?"
"Uh" She blamed her for not telling Yu Bai Qihong about this before.
The look in his eyes now, filled with anger and coldness, still made people shudder.
"You are a hero among Hua Ting girls."
Compared to Bai Qihong's attitude, Chen Huanlin knew how to appreciate her.
"When did you learn to shoot?"
Bai Qihong's tone was cold.
He glanced at the revolver in the box and smiled disdainfully at the corner of his mouth.
"When I was studying in the United States, I went to a shooting club with my classmates."
This reason is simply perfect.
"Really?"
Bai Qihong couldn't hide his displeasure on his face.
Cai Bingrong was slightly embarrassed, but he still put on a smile and said: "What I gave Huating that day was just a broken gun.
Today I will make up for it with a new one."
The man in black carried the wooden box and walked to Huating's side.
I thought that Cai Bingrong just said it politely that day, and she had already taken the pistol of the man in black.
Why was the Dragon Gang so stubborn?
She didn't want to have too much entanglement with the Dragon Gang and the Green Gang.
In addition, the relationship between her father Bai Qihong and Cai Bingrong is obviously at odds.
What should she do now?
"Well, Uncle Cai, I'm usually more accustomed to using ordinary pistols.
I'm afraid this revolver is not suitable for me, or..."
Bai Qihong interrupted, "Uncle Cai said he would give it to you, so just take it."
Hua Ting rolled her eyes.
It’s really hard to guess this person’s heart "Then I'll accept it, thank you Uncle Cai."
After receiving the gift, Cai Bingrong finally sat down.
"But Hua Ting, I'm curious."
Bai Qihong narrowed his eyes slightly and pretended to look her over.
"You can still be so calm after killing someone."
His tone changed every time, "It seems that I don't know myself well." ’s daughter.”

"It didn't mean killing someone."
Cai Bingrong explained, "Hua Ting just shot that bastard in the wrist that day."
"Oh, it can hit the wrist.
If it is at close range, then the marksmanship is incredible."
Chen Huanlin saw that he knew how to shoot, and he also admired Hua Ting.
"Hua Ting, I will take it with you another day."
You go hunting together in the mountains so that I can see your shooting skills."
"Okay" Hua Ting's eyes lit up when she heard about hunting.
Bai Qihong's eyes instantly turned cold.
A scolding was inevitable upon returning home.
Bai Qihong has two points of anger.
First, he doesn’t like girls to be exposed to these men’s things.
He hopes that his daughters will be as virtuous and dignified as those wealthy daughters, instead of wielding knives and guns, fighting and killing, and playing the piano and practicing dancing when they have nothing to do.
Or listen to more elegant concerts, get to know some rich boys, go on dates to drink tea and watch movies.
Isn't that what girls should do?
Second, he has kept a distance from Cai Bingrong over the years.
They have lived their own lives and have no intersection in business.
However, he did not expect that his daughter would get involved in their Dragon Gang affairs.
In this way, I am afraid that Cai Bingrong will be unavoidable in the future. .
Although Hua Ting was kind to them, but after eating the meal and accepting the gift, things were not that simple, and there would always be more or less entanglements in the future.
Bai Qihong sighed.
Through this dinner, Hua Ting had a rough understanding of the backgrounds of the four tycoons in Shanghai.
Cai Bingrong smuggled arms.
Chen Huanlin not only runs Paramount, but is also the founder of Shanghai Yongxin Bank.
Although he also has some unusual relationships with gangsters, he is the more upright among the four.
As for Jian Maosheng and his son, Hua Ting finally understood why "Hua Ting" spilled his coffee that day.
I think that "Hua Ting" hated the Japanese as much as she did, but Jian Maosheng and Jian Yi Work for the new Shanghai government , to put it bluntly, he is working for the Japanese and is regarded as a lackey of the Japanese.
The reason why Bai Qihong wanted Hua Ting to marry the eldest son of the Jian family was because Jian Maosheng’s status and connections in the new government could open up connections for him.
Channels for smuggling opium Hua Ting lay bored on the bed playing with the black gun in her hand.
There is no shooting range and no gun target.
What’s the point of having a gun?
It’s better not to use it.
If you do, it will only make your hands itch.
The days in the Bai family were simply boring.
Bai Qihong was very strict, and with the Dragon Gang incident, she had no chance to go out except to meet Jian Yi.
Although Mrs.
Bai was his beloved wife, she also helped Without her, Mrs.
Bai loves him, respects him, but also fears him.
Hua Ting sighed.
How long will she have to be Bai Qihong's daughter?
When can she go back?
The police academy will start in more than a month.
Although she doesn't know whether she is interested in the police industry, but She is quite looking forward to the upcoming life in the police academy.
The sound of mahjong came from downstairs, and Hua Ting jumped up from the bed.
Regarding her joining, the faces of the ladies were obviously not good-looking, but this time Hua Tingxue was smarter and tried her best to let Hu Xiao play appropriately.

In this way, everyone lost and won, and the card table was enjoyable.
However, this style of play lacked too much excitement for Hua Ting, and she felt bored after two hours.
She wanted to go out, but she could only ask Jian Yi for help.
While I was thinking this, the old-fashioned landline phone on the coffee table in the living room rang.
Within two seconds of picking up the phone, Axiang called Hua Ting, saying that Mr.
Jian was looking for her.
It really comes to whatever you want.
As if she had seen a savior, Hua Ting left the mahjong table without any nostalgia.
Jane also asked her to watch a movie at 4 o'clock and have dinner.
Originally, she thought about using the excuse of "dating Jian Yi" to walk out of the Bai family gate openly, and then sneak out to play by herself on the way, but she soon discovered that this method would not work because her Not only was the driver sitting in Old Jim's car, but there were also two burly men.
Even if Hua Ting got out of the car, they followed her all the way without giving you any private space.
The car stopped in front of the Cathay Theater.
Hua Ting knows that this cinema is located at No. 870 Huaihai Middle Road.
It was originally called the Cathay Cinema.
Later, it was renamed the People's Cinema during the GE period.
Later, in 2000, this cinema underwent a comprehensive renovation.
The original flat-slope screening hall was transformed into three comfortable and luxurious stepped screening rooms with different styles.
Even so, she still liked the Cathay Theater in front of her.
The purple-red Taishan bricks and white caulking are nostalgic and beautiful.
Jian Yi, wearing a straight suit, stood outside the car door to welcome her out of the car.
The corner of Traitor Hua's mouth twitched when she heard this.
They watched Southern Spring, which was being released during this period.
Old black and white movies.
The plot is bland, and Hua Ting can't even talk about liking it.
Jian Yi leaned his head shyly beside her, his face only half an inch away from hers, and smiled with squinted eyes.
“Why isn’t the movie good?”
"It's not bad."
Hua Ting avoided.
"What kind of movies does Sister Hua like?"
she said with a playful smile.
Is he really heartless or is he pretending to be very suspicious?
"The movie I want to watch is not available in your era."
The cinema door was 10 meters ahead, and Hua Ting suddenly stopped.
"What do you mean?"
Jian Yi was a little confused, "In which era did it exist?"
"Is there a backdoor here?"
Hua Ting rolled her eyes.
"have."
Old Shanghai is charming at night.
The streets are crowded with people and loud.
Neon lights are flashing on top of the Chinese and Western buildings that line both sides of the street.
Various signboards that are still called century-old shops in the 21st century are flashing continuously.
Teahouses, restaurants, Antique ceramics, flowers Shops such as bird calligraphy and painting, and specialty snacks are lined up in rows.
A classic "old Shanghai" charm fills the entire street.
The plane trees on both sides are covered with small red lanterns.

Their embellishment makes the entire night look more charming.
While admiring it, Hua Ting said to Jian Yi beside her: "You can go back, I'm going to have some fun on my own."
"Looking for fun" Jian Yi moved closer to her, "What kind of fun are you looking for?"
"It's none of your business."
Hua Ting threw the bag over her shoulder.
"The fun you are talking about doesn't mean you want to shoot a gun?"
Jian Yi's words made her eyes light up.
She happened to have a gun with her today and put it in her small purse.
"For a girl like you, watching movies is indeed too boring," he looked into the depths of the crowd and said thoughtfully, "If you want to shoot," he thought for a long time and finally shook his head.
"I'm afraid it's a bit difficult.
There's no suitable place right now."
Tsk, Hua Ting rolled her eyes.
"I haven't seen your marksmanship before.
It's really as amazing as they say."
"none of your business."
"Where are you going?"
Hua Ting walked faster and faster, and Jian Yi had to speed up her pace.
"Have fun."
"What fun are you looking for?"
"Thrill-seeking."
"Exciting" he suddenly thought of a place, "How about I take you to the casino?"
Hua Ting stopped.
I have long heard that the casinos during the Republic of China were splendid and well-dressed.
They were almost more luxurious than the casinos in Macau today.
When I saw it today, it was indeed the case.
Jian Yi took her to the largest casino under Bai Qihong's name.
The front entrance of the casino has a unique design.
If you look closely, it looks like a lion's mouth.
It doesn't take Hua Ting to know its meaning.
It is based on the image of the king of beasts attracting wealth, which is exactly Bai Qihong's style.
Not to mention the interior decoration of the casino, all the words that can express the meaning of luxury can be used.
She walked past the long green gambling tables one after another.
The croupier stood aside with his hands folded, and the gamblers There are passionate emotions, and some are calm and calm.
The smoke on the cards adds a bit of mystery to the gambling game.
Every time Hua Ting passed a gambling table, she attracted a few strange looks.
After all, there were mostly men in such a place, and there were almost no women of her age.
"You haven't been to your dad's casino yet, right?"
Jian Yi just took her for a walk, but she didn't expect that she wanted to buy chips.
What did this woman learn during her years in the United States?
“Buy big, buy big, big” The sound came from the right rear of where Hua Ting was standing.
The "big and small" table was the busiest place in the entire casino.
As soon as she turned around, she saw a man in a robe and mandarin jacket coming out of the crowd with a sad face.
He looked like he had lost a lot of money.
Five seconds later, another man in a coarse robe came out dejectedly.
Hua Ting was curious and squeezed into the crowd.

"Hey, women come to gamble too."
The group of gamblers around her all glanced at her curiously, but quickly returned their attention to the gambling table.
A thin boy with a crew cut was standing opposite her, shaking his head with a dice cup in his hand, mumbling something in his mouth, looking like a charlatan, pretending to be mysterious, which made Hua Ting want to roll her eyes.
The dice cup fell to the table with a "pop" sound.
"I'll buy big."
A man with a sinister appearance threw out a stack of banknotes decisively.
For the rest, you look at me and I look at you, it’s hard to make a decision.
"I just opened a few big ones, let's buy a small one this time."
Everyone placed their bets on the small ones.
The result was 246, which was still high.
Another man who lost all his money left in frustration.
The guy opposite continued to shake his dice cup.
"This one is small."
It's still the same man just now.
A few big men around Hua Ting hesitated and decided to buy a small one from him, while the others followed their own wishes and bought a large one.
It turned out to be 224, which is really small.
Could this man be the God of Wealth?
Hua was curious.
In the next few consecutive hands, no matter what the man bought, he would shoot whatever he bought.
Although he missed one or two of the bets, he won most of the time.
Yihua's experience in watching so many God of Gamblers movies told her that among them There must be something fishy.
She began to observe the eye contact or body signals between the guy opposite and the "God of Wealth".
At this glance, she really saw the clues.
As long as the cup shaker scratches his ears, the God of Wealth will bet big, and if he touches his nose, the bet will be small.
After observing ten times in a row, Hua Ting was convinced that these two guys were playing tricks, using old-fashioned methods that even she could master.
So this time, when the guy opposite put down the dice cup in his hand and raised his hand to scratch his ears, Hua Ting slapped the betting table with her palm, and everyone's hearts shook with her applause.
"Little girl, what are you doing?"
The God of Wealth waved a wad of banknotes in his hand, "If you want to gamble, just take out the money."
"Yes, as long as I bet with you, I'm sure to win."
Hua Ting deliberately turned up the volume so that everyone could hear.
The God of Wealth's face darkened.
"Little girl, don't get in the way.
If you don't want to bet, just go away."
The cup-shaking guy was impatient.
"That's right, do you want to gamble or not?"
the God of Wealth agreed.
"If you want to gamble, just take out the money."
After saying that, he waved a wad of banknotes in front of her eyes.
Hua Ting was disdainful.
"Are you sure this is called gambling?"
"how" "Listen, everyone, when you see him scratching his ears, you'll bet big, and if you touch his nose, you'll bet small."
Hua Ting raised her voice, with a secret smile on her lips, "You're right, I'm right."
The men looked at each other, not quite understanding what the little girl meant.
"Oh, you are a woman who can't afford to gamble and yet you want to cause trouble."
The cup shaker guy and the God of Wealth looked at each other and their expressions darkened.

Hua Ting narrowed her eyes and said, "I just can't stand someone breaking the casino rules."
