Guangzhou City is relatively peaceful under the jurisdiction of Hu Dashuai, of course, there will occasionally be some fierce battles between the revolutionary party and the government, as well as the fight between various gangs, in this troubled era, it seems to be an unreasonable era, as long as there is a weapon in hand, a word of disagreement will fight, and there are even direct deaths to stop.

Everyone says that money is very important, but life and death cannot even be guaranteed in troubled times, and the meaning of money at this time is slightly weakened, after all, money cannot buy life, and even if you have a lot of money when there is a shortage of materials, you can't buy many things.

Therefore, in the troubled times, many rich people will use their money to escape from war-torn Guangzhou by boat and run to a safer place, and there are also many people who use money to have fun and eat and wait for a day to die, of course, most people still stick to their posts and contribute their modest strength to the country.

If it is placed in a stable era, money will be one of the most important things, most people have to run for it all their lives, and a few people are born with a golden spoon in their mouths, and they don't have to worry about food and clothing from childhood to adulthood.

There may be people who have worked hard all their lives to accumulate money that is not worth the expenses of those rich children for a day, of course, that is the reality, after all, in the eyes of the superiors, there is no absolute fairness, only relative fairness, there is no distinction between high and low, but there is absolutely a distinction between rich and poor.

The upper class represents the top of the food chain, as was the case in the city of Guangzhou in 1917, and it should be the same in the long history that followed.

"Ahem, cough, cough......" Pan Zhan took out a white handkerchief from his arms and coughed a few times, and then there were obvious blood stains on the handkerchief, which frightened Shen Anyue who was standing aside.

In the past, when my uncle and An Yue talked about business, they were always in the study, and if they were in life, they would be clearly explained at the dinner table, but this time An Yue didn't know what her uncle was doing when she called her to the study after dinner in the morning.

Because my uncle had finished explaining the family's business to himself before, it stands to reason that there should be no other business in the house to explain.

"Uncle, your illness can't be delayed any longer, or you should go to the foreigner hospital for a check-up." Shen Anyue had persuaded her uncle to go to the hospital countless times, but her uncle always warned An Yue that she would rather die of illness than be treated by a Western doctor, and An Yue had no choice but to give up when she saw that her uncle was so resolute.

Traditional Chinese medicine treatment is still very limited, Chinese medicine emphasizes the harmony of internal and external qi deficiency and yin and yang, while Western medicine emphasizes the use of vaccines to fundamentally solve the problem, and some diseases must be treated with Western medicine, such as surgery.

"Yue'er, uncle, this is an old problem, it's okay, by the way, can you guess why your uncle called you here today?" Pan Zhan got up from his chair and looked at Shen Anyue and smiled.

"Yue'er doesn't know." Shen Anyue shook her head and said softly.

"You can guess." Pan Zhan reached out and stroked his white beard and smiled.

"Is it the problem of the money bank, or is it a restaurant or a pharmacy?" Shen Anyue casually reported a few industries, because those three industries were the focus of the Pan family, and her uncle would usually ask about big and small things.

"Neither." Pan Zhan laughed and shook his head.

"Uncle, is there any other treasure hidden in the house?"

Shen Anyue walked up to her uncle and looked up at him and blinked her eyes twice, in the past seventeen years, under her uncle's concern, Anyue has really changed a lot, not as melancholy and sentimental as before, but a little more eccentric.

In this regard, his uncle was very happy to see Yue'er become cheerful, after all, people have to live happily for a lifetime, sad is a day, happy is also a day, why not live happily every day.

"You're a money junkie, always thinking about money, guess."

Pan Zhan stretched out his hand and gently knocked on Shen Anyue's head and smiled, since handing over the Pan family's property to An Yue, in her hands, the Pan family's Qianzhuang restaurant, pharmacy, dyeing workshop and other businesses are thriving, and they are also second to none in the industry.

"It's so difficult, uncle, just say it." Shen Anyue pulled her uncle's sleeve and coquettishly got up, she knew that that trick was really tried and tested for her uncle.

"Okay, my uncle is afraid of you, tell you well, it's that last week, Master He proposed to me for his nephew, and I ......" Pan Zhan was very interested when he saw Yue'er's girl listening, but he stopped.

"And then?" Shen Anyue was very concerned about whether her uncle agreed or not, she really cared, after all, there were no other relatives in this world except her uncle, of course, she hoped that her uncle would refuse.

"I, I'll say yes."

"Uncle, I don't agree." Shen Anyue bit her lip and quickly shook her head.

"Yue'er, you have also reached the age when it is time to get married, I heard that He Lintang, the son of the He family, is handsome and chic, and he came back from studying abroad, not to mention that the marriage between the Shen family and the He family will greatly promote the business exchanges between the two families."

"Uncle, I want to marry someone I like, not a stranger I don't know at all, and I don't want to be a tool for your business marriage."

"Even if I didn't want you this time, I had to agree if you didn't agree in three days." In the past, Pan Zhan also introduced a lot of rich sons to An Yue, but An Yue always refused, and this time it was different, the Shen family's lack of capital chain is in need of money now, and the He family, the richest man in the huge city of Guangzhou, can obviously help himself, not to mention that this time it was Master He who took the initiative to marry, of course, for the sake of the family industry, Pan Zhan did not allow An Yuehu to come.

"I don't agree, woo ......" After finishing speaking, Shen Anyue covered her mouth and cried and ran out, unconsciously feeling an inexplicable sentimentality flooded her heart.

All kinds of shops on the street have opened, people from all walks of life come and go, and their footsteps are also staying and rushing, I don't know how long I walked, Shen Anyue didn't cry anymore, just walked aimlessly, I wanted to cry, but I still held back, after all, crying on the street is not good.

"Huang Ye, I really haven't made any money these days, can you forgive me for a few more days with the protection fee." A middle-aged man in a coarse linen robe in the wonton shop bowed his head and pleaded with the four people in front of him.

At this time, three men in black casual clothes were walking towards a place selling wontons on the side of the road, and the leader was a middle-aged man with pockmarked cheeks and cheeks wearing a fan and a black hat.

This Huang Yeren's original name was Huang Tong, who was the fifth leader of Qinghutang, and was specifically responsible for collecting rent and protection fees for the gang, and of course he also did some other things.

Now there are many forces in the city of Guangzhou, not only warlord forces, merchant forces, concession foreigner forces, gangster forces, it is worth saying that the gangsters are no longer the only ones in the Hongjia Gang, this is not the new Qinghutang with unstoppable development, and it can already compete with the Hongjia Gang.

"What is this, dare to lie to me, look for death." Huang Tong's eyes were very vicious, and when he saw the hemp rope in the old man's pocket, he immediately reached out and took out a cloth bag made of linen, but there was some broken silver in it, and then with a wave of his hand, he started to open the wonton shop and knocked it down.

"Master Huang, my mother is still pointing to the silver to cure the disease, you can give it to me." The old man knelt down pitifully and hurriedly kowtowed a few times.

"Go, go." Huang Tong saw the old man lying on the ground and holding his leg with his hand, he was furious, so he raised his hand and prepared to give the old man a fierce punch in the back.

"You, you stop me." When Shen Anyue saw someone bullying the people, she walked over and stretched out her finger loudly and shouted, she hated those bullies in her life, not to mention that these ruffians and hooligans in front of her were bullying a poor old man, how could she bear it.

"I think it's the one who doesn't want to die, it turned out to be Miss Shen, why do you want to stand up for this old man?" When Huang Tong saw that the person who came was a beautiful woman like a flower and jade, his eyes suddenly lit up.

"I'll take care of it, how about it?" Shen Anyue was not afraid of Huang Tong, she raised her head and stared at him, her eyes were very sharp.

"It's not impossible for me to let him go, unless you stay with me for one night." After Huang Tong finished speaking, he walked over and stretched out his hand to touch Shen Anyue's face.

"You, don't come here." Shen Anyue saw that Huang Tong wanted to stand up for himself, so he hurriedly retreated, but the way back was stopped, and the two subordinates tied their hands.

"Let go of that girl." A rush of motorcycle sound suddenly hit, only to see a young man wearing a black leather jacket, after he parked the motorcycle, took out two pistols from his waist, trotted all the way and jumped behind Huang Tong, pointed a gun at his head and coldly warned.

"Fourth master, don't be impulsive, I was wrong." When Huang Tong used his eyes to find out that it was Luo Zhuoying, the fourth leader of the Hong family, he immediately trembled, and his voice was very low and he didn't dare to be arrogant, after all, Luo Zhuoying, the fourth master of the Hong family, was a murderer, ruthless, and his methods were novel and not easy to provoke.

"Then don't get out of here." Luo Zhuoying immediately stuffed the gun into her waist and said angrily, and then set her eyes on the girl in front of her.

"Where's the money?" Shen Anyue saw that the three of them were about to run, and she immediately opened her mouth and said sharply.

"Here you go." Huang Tong casually threw the cloth bag to the old man, only to see that the old man hurriedly lay on the ground and picked up the cloth bag.

"Thank you, the fourth master will not kill." Huang Tong didn't dare to breathe loudly, and under the leadership of Huang Tong, the two subordinates fled in a panic.

"Thank you, Miss Childe, for saving your life." The old man hurriedly kowtowed to the ground a few times, probably because of the hard knocking, the skin was a little broken, and the bright red flesh could be clearly seen.

"Uncle, please get up, these are what we should do." Shen Anyue stepped forward and hurriedly helped the old man up, and then helped the wonton shop up with the old man.

Luo Zhuoying stood aside and looked at the girl in front of her carefully, she was very different from other girls in Guangzhou City, her facial features were extremely exquisite, a melon seed face was still very beautiful although she didn't apply powder, two braids, oh yes, the white shirt with the light blue skirt didn't seem to be too compatible, but it seemed to be worn on her body without any flaws, and her voice was very sweet, and the most special thing was that her eyes were very similar to a person she had seen before.

"Thank you, my name is Shen Anyue, I don't know what your name is?" Shen Anyue smiled at Luo Zhuoying slightly, she also wanted to make more friends about doing business in Guangzhou City, after all, she still returned from graduating from Peking University a year ago and was still not very familiar with the underworld forces in Guangzhou.

"No, it's okay, your surname is Shen?" Luo Zhuoying glanced at Shen Anyue and said with a smile, after looking for seventeen years, the descendants of Shen Chai's eldest brother that his father said have not been found yet, and now when he hears someone surnamed Shen, he can't help but want to ask more.

Since Luo Zhuoying and Shen Anyue met seventeen years ago, the two have never met again, Luo Zhuoying naturally went to the temple to practice martial arts and joined the Hong Family Gang, while Shen Anyue continued to study and then went to Beijing to study in college, and the two did not intersect, although the two only met once, but Luo Zhuoying felt that she was very special and wanted to see her again, so Luo Zhuoying regretted that she did not ask her name back then.

"What's wrong?" Shen Anyue looked at Luo Zhuoying and blinked her eyes and hurriedly asked, she felt that the man in front of her was handsome, and the key thing that attracted her was that his smile was very warm, and his voice was magnetic and gave people a thick sense of security.
