Chapter 52: I'm Still Me
Qiaoqiao's father smiled slightly: "What about you?" β
Shen Shan's face changed, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Me? Hum! Shanghai is so close to Nanjing, how could he Ye Huan let me go? However, he knows that I, Shen Shan, still have some roots in Shanghai, and I am afraid that he will not be able to defeat me. He sent someone to talk to me, wanting to pull me to do it with him! Ha! Although I, Shen Shan, am a rough man, at least I am not a fool! β
"Oh? How so? Jojo's father gave me a deliberate look and chuckled.
Shen Shan sighed: "Ye Huan can't grow!" It must be a dead end! How could I, Shen Shan, be stupid enough to with him! He said in a low voice: "Don't look at him, Ye Huan suddenly occupies half of Jiangsu in more than a month now, that's because Jiangsu is his lair, he has been the big shopkeeper in Jiangsu for so many years, and his power has infiltrated it, so suddenly he turned against him, and others were caught off guard, and he controlled such a large area at once!" Now he seems to be beautiful, but in fact, he may not feel good! Now the big boss above was caught off guard by him, and when the big boss reacted and counterattacked, Ye Huan might not be able to stop it......"
"Really?" Qiaoqiao's father smiled: "But...... The big proprietor with the prefix is the two places of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and now that Jiangsu has been lost, it means that half of the power under the big proprietor will be lost at once, and it may not be able to overpower Ye Huan. β
"Different! Distinct! Shen Shan shook his head again and again, but hurriedly said, "Mr. Qiao, Xiaoshan, I don't dare to refute you...... Alas, it's just that you are not from our Qinghong sect and don't know our rules. β
He lowered his voice and said slowly: "Over the years, we Qinghong have been divided into three parts, heaven, earth and people, and three words. The three big proprietors, the three factions of brothers do not belong to each other, the road is facing the sky, each going to one side, but after all, it is the same line, and if there is anything in the flat, they will still connect with each other and help each other. Although occasionally for some interests, they will fight with each other and fight. But encountered on the large joints. It's sure to be a group and go out together! Do you want to...... Ye Huan made such a fuss, and it was a big fuss, it was not a matter of the herringbone faction! Ye Huan, he is tantamount to reversing the signboard of Qinghong! I got such a big piece of land all at once! Is this worth it? I estimate that the big proprietors with the three words will definitely meet and discuss, and Ye Huan will be destroyed no matter what! Otherwise, tolerating such a big back-and-forth scenery to survive is tantamount to stepping on Qinghong's signboard! Don't talk about things on the face...... If Ye Huan is allowed to go on like this, then in the future, if someone learns from Ye Huan...... If the big shopkeepers from all walks of life look at Ye Huan so beautifully, they all have ambitions to rebel and stand on their own...... That's not good! Therefore, if the big owner of the prefix can't kill Ye Huan alone this time, the owner of the other two prefixes will definitely reach out to help! Although Ye Huan is beautiful now, he wants him to rely on a piece of territory in Jiangsu and the whole country...... That's still a dead end! β
"So, you Shen Shan have seen the situation clearly, and you won't go all the way with Ye Huan?"
"Of course!" Shen Shan shook his head: "Although Ye Huan had a good relationship with me in the past, but this kind of rebellion against the owner, I, Shen Shan, don't dare yet!" He pointed to the box and said with a cold face: "There is a chess piece that Ye Huan left in Shanghai, damn, in the past two or three years, this woman has been around Shanghai Beach." It can be regarded as the No. 1 courtesan with a name and surname! Fought for Ye Huan a lot of interests. Now she has brought Ye Huan's meaning and wants to win me over to do it with Ye Huan, but this kind of thing of losing my head to fight, I, Shen Shan, am not so stupid! β
"Oh? So? What are you going to do? Jojo's father squinted.
Shen Shan immediately said, "No, you misunderstood what I meant...... After all, I exchanged posts with Ye Huan back then and worshiped my godbrother. Although he has done something rebellious now, the brotherly love is still there, and I refuse to accompany him to make trouble, but I still have to save a little righteousness...... So, I'm not going to kill this woman, but I'm going to send her away! β
"Send?" Qiao Qiaodi's father smiled: "Ye Huan kept this woman in Shanghai, she must have made a lot of careers over the years, she has spent a lot of effort to manage here, how can she be willing to give up and leave if she gives up?" β
"Not leaving?" Shen Shan showed a bit of arrogance at this moment, grinned, and two cold lights appeared in his eyes: "Don't go?" I'll send her away! Hey! I, Shen Shandu, came to see her off in person, even if she didn't want to leave, she was embarrassed not to go! β
"Haha!" Qiaoqiao's father laughed twice, then stood up and patted Shen Shan on the shoulder: "Yes, your mind is very clear, okay, I know you have something, go and get busy with you, I'll have tea with you when you have time." β
Shen Shan was patted on the shoulder a few times by Qiaoqiao's father, and immediately looked flattered, quickly stood up, and solemnly resigned.
I saw Shen Shan walking outside, but he suddenly shouted loudly to the box inside: "Cangyu!" Acquaintances, I'll give you a day to leave Shanghai! Let you go back, even if you give Ye Huan affection! If you stay in Shanghai tomorrow...... Hum! β
After speaking, Shen Shan strode out of the gate with his head held high.
My face remained unchanged, but I sighed in my heart.
Kuratama...... Sure enough, it's Kurayu!
Jojo's father, however, had been observing my gods, and suddenly said, "Where is it...... Is it an acquaintance of yours? Would you like to stop by and say hello? β
I hesitated for a moment and shook my head: "Forget it, now we don't even have a little affection." Sooner or later, it is a situation of tearing faces, and it is better not to see it. β
After a pause, I looked at Jojo's father: "Thank you!" β
I know that the conversation between him and Shen Shan just now was actually deliberately told to me by Qiaoqiao's father.
Hey...... Ye Huan, is it already the opposite?
As for why he is anti-...... Others don't know, but I know.
Presumably the big boss of the herringbone found out that I wasn't dead - well, I returned to China with such fanfare, as long as I wasn't blind, I knew I wasn't dead! The big proprietor with the prefix knew that the person who beat his son as a eunuch did not die, so he naturally knew that Ye Huan was wrong!
Ye Huan is facing bad luck and losing power...... With his xìng son, he made a last stand, and suddenly rebelled. The territory of a province became independent.
Hey! Hey!
This brother of mine is really old and strong!
I sneered, and suddenly remembered a question: "By the way, Mr. Qiao, that Shen Shan has so much respect for you...... You ......"
"I'm not from Qinghong. It has nothing to do with them. Qiaoqiao's father saw my concerns and said lightly: "It's just that I and the big owner at the beginning of the word are a mahjong table poker buddy and often play cards together." β
Belch...... It seems that Miss Qiao has always been so arrogant in the past, which is still very reasonable.
"Nanjing, don't go back for the time being." Qiaoqiao's father said: "I know, people, homesick. You've been away from home for too long, and when you first come back, you'll want to go back to your hometown right away. But you also heard it just now, and now your brother Huan, but when the scenery is perfect, don't drill into his base camp. β
I nodded. In fact, I didn't plan to go back to Nanjing in such a hurry, but I always had to gain a firm foothold in Shanghai and then make plans for the future. But Jojo's father always meant something when he said that.
With that in mind, I thought about it for a moment. said: "Mr. Qiao, so be it." I understand and appreciate your heart. But Fang Nan's company, I really can't promise you about this matter. You also think about it, standing in my position, unless Fang Nan nods, I am too sorry for her to do anything. At this point, I stood up: "Well, I'll go back first, I guess you won't go back so soon in Shanghai." I will invite you to tea again and listen to your teachings. β
"Hmph, are you in a hurry to go up to see Fang Nan?" Qiaoqiao's father suddenly snorted coldly, I didn't dare to speak, and smiled bitterly in my heart, after all, he is Qiaoqiao's father, and he is my woman's father! He squinted at me for a moment, then said in a half-masculine tone, "Young man, being romantic-like is not a bad thing at all. You're a lot like I was when I was younger...... Hmph, the women around me one after another. β
After speaking, he waved his hand: "That's it, I don't care about your...... Remember to bring my words to Jojo, no matter what, I'm still her old son! β
I couldn't refute these reproaches, so I could only listen to them before I took my leave.
After I came out, I immediately called Qiaoqiao, and Qiaoqiao told me on the phone like a frightened bird that she had driven onto the viaduct and was fleeing to the Pudong area.
"Xuewu, I'll go to Pudong to buy something first, and then I'll go directly to Suzhou today, I'll stay in Suzhou for two days, and I'll come back when my father leaves Shanghai."
I sighed, and suddenly my heart moved, and I said something that even I thought was strange:
"Jojo, I actually think ...... Your father is very good. He wanted to open up...... Even I think it's a little too much to think about. β
After I hung up the phone, I still felt a little weird in my heart.
Really, I can't help but admire Mr. Joe a little.
If it were me, I gave birth to a daughter, and I was out with a man who had a wife...... Hum! I'd already taken someone to break that kid's leg!
Walking to the outside of the business center, I saw a few men in suits standing at the elevator outside, but they were Shen Shan's subordinates. It seems that although Shen Shan was very jealous of Qiao Qiao's father and withdrew people from inside, he didn't seem to dare to let Cang Yu go, but sent someone to watch at the door outside.
I didn't pay attention to these people, but walked to the elevator entrance and waited for the elevator, while the two men next to me were smoking, and one of them was still looking at me carefully. After looking at me a few times, Tu Yan next to me frowned slightly at me, and then took two steps up and stood next to me to block the man's gaze.
Tu stood beside this bloody humanoid weapon, and he didn't see any movement, but his eyes swept away, and he was murderous! Such a calm aura suddenly made the two Shen Shan's men cold, and they immediately didn't dare to look at me anymore.
When the elevator was empty, I found that not only was there a person standing at the elevator entrance, but even the fire escape staircase on the side of the corridor seemed to be guarded.
At this moment, with a ding, the elevator arrived.
I thought about it for a moment, but I didn't get into the elevator, I just stood at the entrance of the elevator and was distracted.
"Not going in?" One of the two people guarding the elevator next to me, the guy who had been looking at me just now, suddenly spoke. [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]
I didn't speak, but Tu glared back at the man with a look, and then whispered, "Boss, the elevator has arrived." β
"Wait a minute." I sighed and finally made a decision: "I'll wait for a friend." β
Tu stopped talking and stood quietly beside me. I pulled out a cigarette and lit it.
When Shen Shan's subordinates saw that I was acting strangely, they immediately became a little nervous.
I smoked half of a cigarette, and finally heard the sound of a woman walking on the floor with high heels in the business center, and the sound of crisp footsteps, a woman in an elegant black sè dress walked out, with a high-raised lady-like bun on her head, such a hairstyle on her head, not only did not show any old-fashionedness. On the contrary, the arc of her rounded chin is perfectly displayed. And her long neck is as elegant as a swan, although her face is indifferent, but she still walks with a trace of elegance.
Cangyu, sure enough, it's Cangyu.
I sighed, a little distracted.
Cangyu is still so mature, so full of the charm of a mature woman. Especially her pair of calves, high heels with thin straps, fully set off the straightness and roundness of her calves.
As soon as several of Shen Shan's subordinates saw Cang Yu come out, they immediately surrounded him, and I was still distracted......
The first time I met Cangyu was when Brother Huan took me to that club casino for the first time, Cangyu took me to visit the casino, and it was at that time that I met this beautiful woman who was both elegant and indifferent, her eyes were always so lonely, lonely like fireworks. And then, the past scenes of my acquaintance with Kuranta flashed in my mind.
I remember that at that auction, the two of us hid in the women's bathroom and chatted, only to run into Minister Kim and his female companion in the toilet...... Hehe.
I still remember that after I was injured and admitted to the hospital, Kurayu arranged for me to take care of me, and also came to visit me, telling me that I could ask her for help if I had any difficulties in the future.
I remember when I just broke into a monstrous disaster, Cangyu risked being found and drove to my house to inform me, although she spoke indifferently at the time, but just looking at her in that situation, she still risked the danger to come to inform me, this kind of affection, is something I can't forget!
I was reminiscing, but I was smiling bitterly.
Cangyu was already surrounded by several of Shen Shan's subordinates, and from the cracks, I seemed to see her face indifferent, but there was a trace of anger in her eyes.
Help her?
She is Brother Huan's subordinate...... Well, no, she is a subordinate of "Ye Huan". Yes, it should be called Ye Huan now. But why do I always get used to the title "Brother Huan"?
Well, it's a habit, everything is a habit.
Well, she is Ye Huan's subordinate, helping Ye Huan do things. And now Ye Huan and I have become enemies. If I help Cangyu, it is equivalent to helping Ye Huan, and it is equivalent to helping my enemy...... It stands to reason that I should have acted as if I hadn't seen anything going on here, and walked into the elevator indifferently, ignoring it.
But......
She's Kuratama, a woman I know, a woman who used to be kind to me and even helped me! Even...... Don't forget, I was able to work in Fang Nan Company at the beginning, and it was also the job that Cangyu found for me!
She is a woman who used to be kind to me.
Complicated things aside......
I'm a man, I'm a little five! Xiao Wu was when he saw a woman who had helped him and was being bullied by others...... Little Five, will you pretend not to see it and turn around and leave?
Xiao Wu will also stand aside indifferently and carefully consider the powerful relationship, is it a pro or a cons?
I suddenly grinned. Yes, maybe I've changed a lot abroad.
But now, I'm back!
I'm still that little five! That hot-blooded and impulsive, even a little rigid little five! It's the little five who didn't hesitate to smash the wine bottle at the customer in order to protect one of the waitresses under him!
I patted myself on the cheek and laughed to myself, "What do you think!" I'm still me. β
I walked over and pushed away a Shen Shandi subordinate standing in front of me, ignoring his surprised eyes. I just carried him and threw him out.
"Boss Shen's people are doing things, friends don't have to be troublesome!" A guy who seemed to be the boss saw that I was looking for trouble, and seemed to want to say something to scare me away.
I didn't speak, just raised my finger. Tu immediately pounced like a leopard!
After a few clicks, the guy was already lying on the ground, and then there were exclamations, shouts and curses at the same time, and then a few short cries of pain.
Soon, in less than ten seconds, there were five people on the ground, but Tu was still standing in the middle like a rock, then looked back at me and walked quietly behind me.
I nodded in satisfaction.
Very good. Tu Xia was very measured, but he made these guys temporarily incapacitated, and did not really hurt them. After all, this is Shanghai, and it's an upscale place.
Cangyu stood on the spot, her face was full of surprise, just now Tu suddenly pounced, and solved these guys in an instant with an incredibly fast speed, and then Cangyu finally saw me clearly.
The expression on her face froze for a moment. It took a long time for her to wake up as if she had been awakened from a dream, and then her face changed dramatically. And then from great change to unbelief, and then from unbelief to incomprehension......
I just stood quietly in front of her, and when her face finally calmed down, I smiled: "Cangyu...... Well, I think I should call you Sister Cangyu, right? Long time no see, are you okay? β
Cangyu seemed to have her lips squirm a few times, as if she wanted to say something, but she tried a few times, but she didn't say anything.
I walked over, slowly walked over from among the people lying in a mess on the ground to her, and then pulled Cangyu, who was still a little distracted, and pulled her to the elevator door......
Bite!
With a crisp bell, the elevator arrived.
It wasn't until I walked into the elevator and watched the elevator door close that Cangyu finally said a word behind me.
"Chen Yang, why are you coming back...... followed by a faint sigh.
I didn't look back at her, but I could see her complicated face behind me in the elevator mirror. I couldn't help but smile: "It's time to come back, it'll always be back." β
*****************
Kuratama and I walked straight out of the Four Seasons Hotel and picked up the car from the underground parking lot, and Kuratama got into my car and waited until the car drove out of the hotel and drove on the road for a full ten minutes before we talked again.
"Where?" I sat next to her, as if in a nonchalant tone.
"I don't know."
I looked at her: "Do you have a place to live in Shanghai?" β
"Yes...... But I don't have to go back now. Cang Yu thought for a while, and a bitter smile appeared on his lips: "The people of Shen Mountain must be guarding my residence now." She glanced at me: "You know who Shen Shan is, right?" β
"Under the Qinghong Gate, the branch manager of the big boss in Shanghai." I shrugged my shoulders: "I also know that Ye Huan was originally a member of the Qinghong Sect, and he also belonged to the 'herringbone prefix', and he was the big shopkeeper of the herringbone prefix in Jiangsu." Of course, now that he is self-reliant, he has taken up the place in Jiangsu and is out of the organization. And the reason why he stood on his own was because I came back. I pointed to my nose: "Because in order to protect his daughter, I beat the only son of the big proprietor with the prefix into a eunuch!" Cangyu sighed: "You know a lot. After a pause, she seemed to look at me and sneered: "Oh, you call him 'Ye Huan' now, right?" β
"Otherwise, what are you shouting? Are you still shouting Brother Huan? I spoke indifferently, and then turned my head to look at Cangyu: "When I was on the streets of Guangzhou, I was chased and killed by a group of people with machetes, and I was shot in the back with a gun, and my flesh and blood were blurred. was pointed at the head by Jin Ha at gunpoint...... From that time on, the brother Huan in my heart has died. β
Cangyu was silent, and after a while, she asked me, "Can I make a call?" β
"Of course." I smiled: "You are my guest, I just saw someone blocking you and helping you out, but I didn't mean to kidnap you." β
Cangyu didn't answer my words, took out a small women's mobile phone with black sΓ¨ from the small bag she carried, dialed a number, and I heard her say briefly to the phone: "Failed, Shen Shan refused to cooperate." I'm done, you can let someone take over this matter. β
Then, she seemed to hesitate for a moment and whispered into the phone, "I...... I've seen Xiao Wu. β
Otherwise, she didn't say anything more, but quickly hung up.
"Call Ye Huan?" I said lightly.
"Little Five." Kurama didn't answer my question, but instead sighed and looked at me: "Okay, I'll be honest...... I'm not surprised to meet you here just now. I knew you were back home. But...... You actually helped me, I don't understand...... I'm Brother Huan's person! β
"And I'm Little Five." I smiled and pointed to my head: "Little Five is Little Five, the young man who often takes the hood of doing stupid things, isn't it?" β
Then, I retracted my smile: "Now I'll give you two choices...... First, you can call for parking at any time, and then you can get out of the car and leave, and that has nothing to do with me. You don't have to thank me for helping you, because I owe you a debt of kindness. I looked at Cangyu's expression and saw that she didn't mean to stop the call, so I continued: "As for the second...... Let's find a place to have a drink and have a chat. Put aside the matter of Brother Huan or Qinghong for the time being. Leave this mess aside. It's like an old friend who has returned from many years abroad. A simple chat between two old friends reunited, I don't mention Qinghong, and you don't mention Ye Huan, let's chat casually, that's all. At this point, I looked at her: "What do you say? β
Cangyu pursed his lips tightly, seemed to hesitate for a moment, and finally sighed, and then looked at me: "Okay, I know that the environment of a place is good, but the wine there is a little expensive. Of course, now you shouldn't care about the price anymore, right? β
I laughed, because I suddenly remembered that when I first met Kuratama, I had repeatedly said something to her.
I remember that at that time, I was just a little supervisor of Brother Huan's subordinates, but it was the first time I walked into such a bizarre luxury circle, looking at those high-rollers in the casino, looking at those glamorous and moving "canaries", and looking at those luxurious lives that seemed to be 108,000 miles away from me.
At that time, I seemed to be a little naΓ―ve, and I was very serious and repeatedly clarified a sentence to Cangyu:
"I'm really not rich."
Kuratama and I glanced at each other, and it seemed that we all remembered the old things when we first met.
She smiled, "Now, you're rich, right?" β
"I'm not too rich, at least I'm still poor with Bill Gatsby." I shrugged my shoulders: "But it's okay to have an old friend for a drink." β
Cangyu looked at me quietly for a while, and then suddenly said in a strange tone: "I really don't understand...... It stands to reason that I think you should have changed a lot, but now, it seems as if you haven't changed. β
"That's how the world ......is," I said, no longer looking at her, but out the window, and whispering as if to myself, "some things never change; Some things are bound to change! β
It's nice to go back home, isn't it?
