Chapter IV

Cai Bingrong, who was at the end of the long table, first took a sip of tea in his cup, then lit a cigarette roll unhurriedly, and then spit out a puff of smoke rings into the air, and then got up and walked towards Huating.

How old are you and what kind of pose, Hua Ting rolled her eyes in her heart.

She was surprised that there was so much movement on the second floor, but the people in the entire café turned a blind eye to it, and so did the waiters passing by, thinking that Cai Bingrong must have a great background, and it was not the first time that such a gang grudge and killing incident had been staged in such an elegant place, 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.

It seems that he is less than 25 years old, although he is also dressed in black, but he is very different from Cai Bingrong's other subordinates, his eyes are shining, and his body reveals a gentle and elegant atmosphere.

Why did you throw the gun to her so lightly? If she doesn't know how to shoot, how will they end up?

Cai Bingrong stopped a meter in front of her, and opened her mouth to reveal three gold teeth, one tiger tooth on the left side, and one upper and lower front teeth. "Dare to ask which daughter the little girl is?" Dressed in a blue-black silk gown and holding a folding fan, "The little girl is brave enough!" As he spoke, he took off his hat and handed it to the man in black beside him.

Gray-white board with a hooked nose, a cigarette roll in the corner of his mouth, and a proud expression, he looks like a classic underworld boss.

"Uncle Cai." Jian Yi's voice sounded behind her.

Cai Bingrong's gaze crossed Hua Ting's shoulder and nodded at him.

"She is Bai Huating, Uncle Bai's daughter." Looking at the situation in this room, Jian Yi was very clear, "It seems that I missed a wonderful fight." ”

"White flowers?" Cai Bingrong folded the fan and took off his sunglasses, "You are the daughter and white flower of the Bai family who just returned to China a month ago?" "The scar on the right eye struck abruptly between the upper and lower eyelids, like a dark purple centipede.

This kind of styling flower has heard a lot, so she doesn't feel surprised, it's just that this face doesn't look like a good person no matter how she looks, and she suspects that she has helped wrong.

Cai Bingrong stepped forward, as if 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, and I never saw you again." ”

This smile actually made Hua Ting see a little human touch.

It turned out to be Bai Qihong's friend.

"I'm not impressed." No way, she really didn't know and couldn't laugh.

Cai Bingrong didn't mind. "I haven't seen your dad for years, I want to ...... back then" The memory seemed to be stuck somewhere, and his smile paused for a moment, and he didn't say any more.

Flowers listen to silence.

"Say hello to your dad on my behalf."

"Okay."

Hua Ting was just about to say goodbye......

"By the way, your father taught you how to marksmanship?" For this question, Cai Bingrong showed great interest, and even his smile became different.

"It's not." The answer was crisp, she really hadn't seen Bai Qihong's marksmanship.

"I don't think so." After he finished speaking, he laughed, his eyes filled with appreciation, "Then," extinguished the cigarette on the white cloth on the square table, and raised his hand to salute her, "On behalf of our Dragon Gang, I thank you for saving your life." ”

When Hua heard this, she immediately shook her head and waved her hand and said, "Where did Uncle Cai say, I just happened to pass by." He glanced at the man in black standing behind Cai Bingrong with a weak heart, "Besides, my marksmanship is not accurate, and I didn't help much......

"I guess I didn't happen to be passing by, right?" The man in black stood up as a matter of fact, "You've been standing there from beginning to end. He pointed to the red vermilion lacquer gate, "And your marksmanship, I don't think the whole gang is a tenth of yours." After speaking, he raised his eyebrows at her and smiled.

"Really?"

His eyebrows were like arrows, his eyes were hot, and he kept staring into her eyes as he spoke, as if he wanted to see her through.

As soon as the man in black said it, Cai Bingrong's tone was even more refusal: "Our Dragon Gang has always been gracious!" ”

"Uncle Cai, you are too polite, just when I see injustice on the road, draw a knife and ......"

"Don't say such a thing, this kindness, I must repay it!" Cai Bingrong laughed, the scar on his right eye trembled slightly with the activity of the facial nerves, like a crawling centipede, "This is not only the rule of our Dragon Gang, but also my personal way of doing things." It was as if if he would laugh any longer and the centipede would climb on top of his head.

Seeing that the flowers didn't speak, Cai Bingrong was not embarrassed. "Then this favor, Uncle Cai owes it first, if you need help in the future, just come to our Dragon Gang."

Hua Ting didn't want to have anything to do with the gangsters, let alone have a relationship with them.

"How?"

As soon as Hua Ting wanted to say "yes", his eyes fell on the black gun held by the man in black, and his thoughts moved. "Uncle Cai, give me a gun!"

Everyone was stunned.

Hua Ting added: "In this current society, it's always good for girls to bring a gun to defend themselves, right?" ”

Cai Bingrong smiled: "Hua heard that it makes sense, but looking at the whole Shanghai Beach, I don't think anyone dares to touch Bai Qihong's daughter, right?" ”

Is that a no-giver or no-give......

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?" Glancing at the man in black, the gun was either old or cracked, or it was stained, "Uncle Cai will give you the good ones another day." ”

"No need Uncle Cai, I want the one in his hand." The fingertips fell on the man in black with a calm temperament and a comfortable eyebrow.

He was not surprised at all by Hua Ting's request, and he didn't even hesitate to throw the gun to her.

Hua Ting took it with one hand.

For this date, it was rare for Hua Ting not to complain, which made Bai Qihong stretch his brows, and his face was not as cold as before.

originally thought that there would be no more follow-up between himself and Cai Bingrong in the café, but three days later, Bai Qihong received an invitation card, which stated that Cai Bingrong would set up a banquet at the Nianfu Hotel tomorrow, and specially invited Mr. Bai to bring his whole family to attend.

Bai Qihong was slightly surprised, in the past ten years, he has no contact with Cai Bingrong, how could this guy suddenly set up a banquet? Do you want to renew your friendship with him? Thinking of this, Bai Qihong laughed coldly, didn't he know what Cai Bingrong had in mind? Now that his Bai Qihong's company has almost monopolized all the opium business in Shanghai, including the French Concession, how many people are lining up to pat him on the back and want to be close to him in their dreams, why, this Cai Bingrong also wants to come and participate? Originally, he didn't plan to go, but he heard that Cai Bingrong not only invited Jian Maosheng and his son to a banquet, but even Chen Huanlin, who is now almost equal to him in Shanghai, will also attend tomorrow's dinner...... Looking at this shape, is it to reunite their four tycoons?

Hua Ting also learned from Mrs. Bai that Bai Qihong and Cai Bingrong had a very good relationship ten years ago, and the two had blood to worship as brothers, at that time they were just inconspicuous small characters in the gang, and later met Jian Maosheng and Chen Huanlin, who were carrying goods at the dock, and the four came together because of their like-minded interests, and vowed to break out in Shanghai......

Now the four of them have their own achievements, and they have all 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 before he met Mrs. Bai, he had fallen in love with a fireworks woman in a vocal venue, but I don't know why the relationship between the two ended without a problem, the details of which are probably only known to Bai Qihong and Cai Bingrong......

Nianfu Hotel is located in one of the most prosperous buildings in Xuhui District, and is one of the most luxurious hotels of this era.

The 10-storey tower is about 60 metres tall and has a sturdy and beautiful brown-red granite façade and a roof made of blue-grey copper corrugated leather, which reflects the sparkling sunlight.

Entering through the grand revolving door, you will be greeted by a sleek Spanish marble floor, lined with tall columns and bronze chandeliers under the ceiling.

The people who come and go here are all high-class people and even international dignitaries.

It seems that this Cai Bingrong also has strong financial resources!

Hua Ting followed the Bai couple to a VIP room on the 7th floor, only to see the crystal lamps shining brightly under the high curved vault, and the dining table covered with light yellow checkered tablecloths was decorated with exquisite tableware and golden candlesticks.

Everyone has arrived.

In the middle of the table, Cai Bingrong, who was wearing a silk gown, smiled and stood up to greet him, 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 at everyone present, and found that the man in black was also there, he was sitting next to Cai Bingrong, obviously his confidant.

The guests all greeted each other politely for a while, and then entered the toast mode.

The atmosphere was not awkward.

Bai Qihong also cooperated with a smiling face.

"Brother Cai has been doing well in the past ten years?"

"That's it, bastard." Cai Bingrong raised his glass to him, "Brother Bai, you are having a prosperous life." The centipede in his right eye writhed with laughter.

Bai Qihong took a small sip meaningfully. "I heard that the other day, the batch of arms you smuggled was tampered with?" A hint of schadenfreude flashed in his eyes.

"No, blame me for being careless," Cai Bingrong shook his head with pity, "A few little bastards caused me to lose 500 guns." ”

What the? Smuggling arms? Hua Ting choked on a piece of lobster meat that was about to swallow in his throat, and immediately picked up the wine glass in front of him and poured it into his mouth.

Since it is smuggling arms, the money in Cai Bingrong's hands must be stained with the blood of many Chinese.

Hua listened to a few large sips of champagne, and the throat was finally smooth.

A man who had just put down his chopsticks and looked older than everyone in the room was attracted by Hua Ting's action.

He should be in his sixties, and his smile is wrinkled. "The little girl of the Bai family has a good amount of alcohol, no wonder the son of the Jian family likes it." Although he is older, he is well-dressed, with a white shirt and black vest, and a gold pocket watch chain hanging from his left pocket.

"yes." Jian Maosheng smiled and patted his son's shoulder, "He has an itchy mouth if he doesn't mention it for a day." ”

It made a group of people in the audience laugh.

"Listen to flowers, I salute you Uncle Chen." Bai Qihong's tone is somewhat similar to her white father. "You haven't seen Uncle Chen for 5 years, right?"

The sentence that Hua Ting has heard the most since he was a child is "Come, Flower Listen, I salute you XXX a cup." ”

The waiter refilled her glass with champagne.

Hua Ting stood up. "Uncle Chen, I'll do it first! Feel free for you! After speaking, he raised his head and ate a cup.

"Good!" Chen Huanlin's eyes were full of approval, and he took three sips to finish a cup.

"It turns out that Sister Hua has such a good amount of wine," Jian Yi also joined in the fun, "I also want to toast Sister Hua!" "The smile is ruffian.

Hua listened to him and glanced at him, and it was another cup of belly.

Next, there is no need for Bai Qihong to remind her, she also knows that she has to respect Jian Maosheng.

"Uncle Jane, this cup is for you!"

Fortunately, Hua Ting has been cultivated into a "thousand cups not drunk" physique since she was a child, so her various class reunions, Daddy Bai is not worried.

Jian Maosheng did it all.

Next......

Bai Qihong was about to introduce: "This is Cai ......"

Cai Bingrong interrupted loudly: "Actually, today's banquet is not only to catch up with everyone, but also to ...... one thing."

The man in black beside him got 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 top of the table.

Bai Qihong was puzzled, and his eyes fell on Hua Ting's face.
