Two days later, Bai Qihong invited Cai Bingrong to his home for lunch.
Of course, Chen Shu was also invited.
Don't look at the smile on Bai Qihong's face at the dinner table.
Although he said thanks on his lips, he longed to tear Cai Bingrong in front of him into pieces, including his daughter Hua Ting.
It seems that the appearance of Hua Ting forced him to get closer and closer to Cai Bingrong.
Originally, he planned to have no relationship or interest with this former friend, but he had to sit down with him again because of Hua Ting. on the same dining table.
It's just that things are different now.
No matter how close the two people are now or how happy they are drinking, it's just a symbolic act.
Look at Bai Qihong's smile.
He's just pulling on his facial nerves.
It's not real.
Laughing.
But at least you can see some human touch on Cai Bingrong's face.
Maybe he really wants to rebuild the old relationship with Bai Qihong, but there are too many interests mixed in this relationship.
In short, to sum it up with a hypocritical saying, it is: we can never go back to those times.
After seeing enough of the hypocrisy on Bai Qihong's face, Hua Ting turned her attention to Chen Shu and found that he was also looking at her.
Being able to work with Cai Bingrong must have a lot of dirty blood on his hands.
Although there is no murderous intent or hatred on this handsome face, the glint in his eyes that is inadvertently revealed should not be underestimated. .
Chen Shu, if he has a decent mind, will definitely achieve great things in the future.
It just depends on whether the path he chooses is right.
The night before yesterday, Bai Qihong sat in his study all night.
He thought that the opium business would face too many uncertainties in the future, so he might as well cooperate with Cai Bingrong first.
Of course, it was only a temporary cooperation, and lent him the dock on the condition that he must become a shareholder.
His arms business.
After hearing this, Cai Bingrong only hesitated for a moment before agreeing.
After all, the most important thing in doing business is to have channels, and being able to join forces with a figure like Bai Qihong means that he has his huge power behind him, and the business will definitely become smoother. , why not?
After the two reached an agreement, they began to toast and drink.
The atmosphere at the dinner table gradually became harmonious.
Hua Ting blinked at Chen Shu a few times.
Seeing that he was unmoved, she used her cute tricks, winking and pouting, but the other person still had a calm poker face.
She felt bored and looked at the ceiling.
I rolled my eyes and smiled unexpectedly.
His smile made Hua Ting laugh too.
It turns out that men of this era have a rather strange way of laughing.
Bai Qihong glanced at her with dissatisfaction, held his fist in front of his mouth and coughed a few times to remind her to pay attention to his posture.
Then he picked up the wine glass and expressed his gratitude to Chen Shu across from him.
Bai Qihong made a toast.
If it were any other minions, they would have been confused.
But Chen Shu was different.
He stood up calmly, held the cup with his right hand, and held the bottom of the cup with his left hand, smiling calmly.
Look him in the eye, and when you toast, deliberately lower your cup to his to show respect.
Bai Qihong nodded towards him with a smile, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
Because Cai Bingrong was in a good mood, he drank until 4pm before getting up and leaving.
Then, the housekeeper Lao Liu appeared in the lobby on the first floor with another guest.
Hua Ting was shocked when she saw it, Ding Yao was wrong, it was Ding Sicheng.

Isn't it enough to just send someone to give him money?
She doesn't need to specially invite him to the house.
She can't understand Bai Qihong's behavior more and more.
Ding Sicheng put one hand in his pocket and waved the other hand in mid-air.
He looked very much like Ding Yaoyi, who she always met by chance at the canteen during the ten-minute break between classes.
He waved the Coke bottle in mid-air as a greeting to her.
Diao Xiao narrowed his eyes like a bridge.
Hua Ting looked at him in a daze.
Until Bai Qihong's voice sounded, "You are Ding Sicheng" He nodded, standing as casually as ever.
"Please come with me."
He actually welcomed him into the study.
What kind of conspiracy was this old man planning?
Hua Ting kept up, but was turned away by him.
In order to prevent her from eavesdropping, he even opened the study door.
As long as she took a step closer, her shadow would hit the door frame.
Despite this, she stood at the door of the study Hua Ting, who was three meters away, still pricked up her ears.
After standing there for almost half an hour, although she couldn't hear clearly, she understood.
In fact, she didn't need to eavesdrop at all.
She could have guessed that it was Bai Qihong who wanted to find Ding Sicheng as an insider.
It was so convenient.
In the future of smuggling, Ding Sicheng, who was so greedy for money, could only use his toes to figure out where to find such a lucrative job and he didn't agree quickly.
The pot of rat excrement flowers walked away in boredom.
But in this way, the inspection is safe.
Bai Qihong will not kill him for the time being, but even if Bai Qihong won't, what about the others?
Although no one in this area is as courageous as Bai Qi Hong is bigger, but there are always contingencies.
In addition, the inspector is upright, which has unknowingly attracted too many businessmen with evil intentions to regard him as a thorn in their side.
Although he has the support of foreigners behind him, his enemies are also accumulating day by day.
He might be assassinated one day.
Although the inspector is not her great-great-grandfather, he has many similarities with her great-great-grandfather.
In addition, he is an upright man, and Hua Ting admires him.
So I'm worried about him too.
In the next few days, Bai Qihong was in a good mood.
Not only did he take his mother and daughter out to eat out, he also went to the lively Sifang Pavilion to listen to a play.
Mrs.
Bai was happy, but Hua Ting was still not interested.
Going out to play with Bai Qihong is no different from going shopping in a prison car.
You are not allowed to eat this or touch that.
It is better to stay at home and play mahjong.
All in all, Jian Yi hadn't come to see her for several days, and she didn't know what she was doing to help the Japanese again.
After the kidnapping incident, Bai Qihong set a new rule.
Unless Jian Yi came to the Bai Mansion to pick someone up, Hua Ting would not even be able to step out of the house.
Therefore, although Hua Ting doesn't like him, she still looks forward to his appearance.
Three days later, Jian Yi finally appeared in the lobby on the first floor of her home.
When Hua Ting saw him, it was like seeing a savior.
She picked up her bag and ran downstairs.

"Sister Hua, I'll take you to a movie."
Jian Yi opened her arms, but her arms were empty.
"What else do you do besides watching movies?"
Hua Ting passed by him and walked straight towards the door.
"Whatever you say is up to you."
Jian Yi followed behind her.
"Let's talk after we get out."
After the car drove one kilometer away from Bai Mansion, Hua Tingtou gave him a grateful look and said, "Thank you for taking me out.
We can each play our own things from now on."
"Do you think I will be willing?"
He suddenly stopped smiling.
Hua Ting waved her hands and said, "Playing with rich kids like you is boring."
Besides, she is not suitable for Jian Yi.
A man like him who dresses like a groom every day should find a lady with a strong ladylike temperament to drink coffee, watch movies or eat Western food every day.
Isn't it good?
"Wherever you want to go, it's up to you.
I'll follow you."
He lowered his head slightly to check the injury on Hua Ting's neck.
"It healed pretty quickly.
Fortunately, there was no scar."
Hua Ting tilted her head and didn't look at him.
Jian Yi is really a hard guy to get rid of, but for the sake of going out in the future, he can only rely on him "Where does Sister Hua want to go?"
"Go find someone."
She wanted to find Ding Sicheng.
She wanted to know if Ding Sicheng was actually Ding Yaoyi.
She wanted to know why he became like this and why he was collaborating with Bai Qihong.
Hua Ting had a lot of unsolved mysteries about him, and another reason was that She wants to see him.
"Is it a boy or a girl?"
Jian Yi said suddenly and nonsensically.
"What" "Is the person you are looking for male or female?"
"Of course he's a man."
"The man" Jian Yi looked very surprised, "Who is he?"
"It's a handsome guy."
At four o'clock in the afternoon, a citizen's street four kilometers away from the police station was filled with all kinds of food stalls, as well as some trinkets and gadgets with a strong ethnic flavor, including the ones she loved to eat when she was a child.
Hua Ting was greedy for the candied haws, and she happened to be hungry, so she called for the car to stop.
In fact, even if she is not hungry, she will still ask to stop.
How could a fragrant street like this not attract her?
Regarding these unhygienic-looking street snacks, Jian Yi resisted them at first, and then sat down with Hua Ting to devour them.
It must be that a rich second generation like him, who was born with a golden key in his mouth, has never tasted anything.
A truly authentic Shanghai flavor bar Jian Yi finished eating the last wonton and wiped his mouth with paper.
It seemed that he still had some unfinished thoughts.
"It turns out that Sister Hua likes to eat these, I know."
"How about it?"
Hua Ting drank every drop of the wonton soup.
"Not bad.

If you want to eat later, I'll bring you over."
There were a few light brown stains on the collar of Jian Yi's shirt, probably stained by vinegar from the pot stickers just now, but he didn't really care.
"What are you busy with on weekdays?
What do you do to help the Japanese?"
"If I don't tell you, you won't understand."
Unexpectedly, she took the initiative to open the topic, and he actually kept it secret.
"Did you listen to what I said that day?"
Hua became angry after hearing this.
Jian Yi took out his pocket watch from his pocket and checked the time, then changed the subject tactfully: "You have been eating for almost two hours, you are not looking for someone."
"Oh, right."
Hua Ting patted her head, "Look, my memory patrol room is about to get off work."
As soon as she stood up, she noticed something was wrong with the atmosphere around her.
Some nearby vendors began to make a commotion.
Several aunts neatly packed up their stalls, pushed the carts, and ran to the other end of the street.
Some of the stalls were larger, and the oil and soup in the pot were boiling hot.
There was no way or time to run away, so they had to continue soliciting business with a gloomy look on their face.
Hua Ting snatched the pocket watch from Jian Yi's hand and looked at the time.
It was just past 5 o'clock.
“All stalls in this area close so early.”
Jian Yi shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was not sure.
But judging from the expressions of the stall owners, it was not just as simple as closing the stalls earlier.
They were clearly running, running for their lives, just like street stalls in today's society when encountering urban management.
Equip the hot wheels.
If you don't escape, it will be too late.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
Hua Ting turned to ask an old man from a tea egg stall behind her who was also packing bags.
After all, he is older and moves slower than others.
The old man said without raising his head: "Oh, the regulations are here.
If you don't run away, this week's business will be in vain."
"What does it mean to be regulated?"
The old man ignored her and was busy tying the hemp rope on his sack.
"What are the rules?"
Hua Ting asked again.
Jian Yi explained: "Restriction is a common saying in Hong Kong.
It only became popular in Shanghai a few years ago.
Of course you don't know about it in the United States."
He stepped forward to help the old man, "In fact, he is used to accepting bribes. mean."
Hua Ting, who was accustomed to accepting bribes, finally understood.
"In other words, it means collecting protection fees regularly."
"Yes," the old man pedaled on his tricycle, "Thank you, young man."
The speed of escaping was quite fast.
Although several aunts on the side didn't have time to run, they were also busy packing their money bags and discussing how much money they should give to the person called Shu Guicheng later.
Just look at how capable this official is.
It scares everyone.
Hua Ting turned around and saw Ding Sicheng.

He was standing in front of a wonton stall five meters away, with his hands in his pockets and a lazy smile hanging from the corners of his eyes, just waiting for the stall owner to pay.
The stall owner reluctantly counted the bills in his purse.
Because he was too slow, the two attendants behind Ding Sicheng impatiently took the purse from his hand, pulled out a stack and said, "That's all."
I'll give you the rest."
He threw the money bag back into his hand.
Ding Sicheng glanced at the number of banknotes, nodded with satisfaction, and went to the next stall.
He is what everyone calls "Shou Guicheng"
Hua Ting clenched her fists.
"Sister Hua, don't you want it again?"
