After making such a fuss, how could they still have the heart to watch the play, the three of them left the theater gloomily, and when they came to the road, they found that the car had been smashed, the glass was all broken, the tires were flat, and a group of little beggars were circling around the car with thieves' eyes flashing.

Li Yaoting didn't take his anger on these little beggars, but took out a handful of change and sprinkled it on them, asking them to help him take care of the car, and then called two rickshaws back.

On the way back, Jian Bing looked back at Li Yaoting in the car behind him from time to time, he was in high spirits on weekdays and was completely knocked off by this slap today, his gray face was sullen, and the five finger marks on his face were very obvious, but when he noticed that Jian Bing was looking at him, he forced a smile and pretended not to care.

Jian Bing sighed, turned his head back and said worriedly: "What Cheng Ziqing said is very reasonable, Lu Xiaojia's kind of evil young man has been used to growing up since he was a child, and he can't get angry with Li Yaoting by slapping him, maybe he will come to revenge, you have to think of a way." ”

Chen Zikun said without hesitation: "Of course there is a way, if Lu Xiaojia really wants to kill him all, I will first kill him, and then take Yaoting abroad together, I don't believe it, no matter how good Lu Yongxiang is, he can still go to a foreign country." ”

"Just know how to kill!" Jian Bing twisted Chen Zikun's waist in disgust, but she had to admit that this was the best way, the son of the Zhejiang Overseer was not an ordinary person, unless he directly asked someone to find Lu Yongxiang to intercede, it would be difficult to buy peace no matter how much money was spent.

Back at the villa on Xiafei Road, Li Yaoting first arranged for the bodyguards to strengthen the guard, and then loosened the chain of the wolf dog, and then returned to the living room, and said with a smile: "Look at you guys are scared, it's okay, I'll talk to Boss Yu when I go back, and he won't mess around." ”

Chen Zikun said solemnly: "Yaoting, do you think it is useful to find someone to intercede?" ”

Li Yaoting said: "It has to be used if it doesn't work, people have to bow their heads under the eaves, I admit it." ”

Chen Zikun said: "It's your wishful thinking to admit planting, what if Lu Xiaojia insists on taking your life?" ”

Li Yaoting's smile gradually faded, lit a cigarette, and said: "Da Kunzi, do you remember when I was in the Willow Hutong Miscellaneous Courtyard, every night I poured the cigarette butts I picked up on the kang table, the tobacco shreds were peeled out, and they were rolled into new cigarette rolls one by one. ”

Saying this, he took a deep breath of cigarette, slowly exhaled the circles in his eyes, and looked at the lingering smoke, as if immersed in memories: "In the past year or so, I have experienced a lot of things and understood a lot of truths. ”

Chen Zikun was about to speak, but he stretched out his hand to stop him: "Da Kunzi, I understand what you mean, but I can only do this, because I can't leave Shanghai, my roots have been rooted in Shanghai, let me go back to Beijing to continue the kind of life I used to have, I would rather die under Lu Xiaojia's gun." ”

Having said that, Chen Zikun couldn't persuade anything, so he could only smoke with his head bored.

Li Yaoting was very free and easy, patting Chen Zikun on the shoulder: "The days of licking blood from the knife edge, what is this, I am a, I can bend and stretch, I can be soft and hard, not to mention kneeling down to apologize to him, even if I lose my share, I can do it, but then again, it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, who can guarantee that he Lu Xiaojia will always be awesome?" If he can't keep it, his father will fall one day, and then you will see how I pick him up. ”

This is arrogant, it seems that Li Yaoting's self-regulation ability is good, Chen Zikun is relieved, and said with a smile: "If you need help, just say it, I know some friends who should be able to talk." ”

Li Yaoting said: "It's not interesting to get that, I still owe people favors, if you really want to help me, Da Kunzi, you can treat the official as a big official, and also get an overseer or something, and then we will follow you for a while." ”

Chen Zikun said: "Then it is a word. ”

The palms of both hands collide in the air.

……

In the next few days, Li Yaoting had been busy outside, and he didn't show up until the day before Chen Zikun's departure, with gauze hanging on his arms and a swollen face. ”

"It's no big deal, I was shot twice in the street, but fortunately a brother helped block the bullet, and I was only injured in the arm." Li Yaoting forced him to act like he didn't care.

Chen Zikun said: "How can I leave with peace of mind, no, I have to deal with this matter before leaving." After that, he was about to go out, Li Yaoting couldn't pull him desperately, and Jian Bing's hard persuasion was to no avail, so he could only watch him go away.

Walking on the street, Chen Zikun's furious heart gradually regained its composure, Lu Xiaojia is not as good as the British patrol, and he will kill if he kills, and the British Empire can't make a big deal about an unexplained criminal case, but Lu Xiaojia is different, he is the son of the overseer of Zhejiang, whether he succeeds in assassination or not, he will cause a big disaster, and it will not be just Li Yaoting who will die at that time.

Calm down, you must be calm, Chen Zikun searched his intestines and scraped his stomach, and he couldn't think of a way, he still had some connections in Beijing, and when he arrived in Shanghai, it was someone else's territory, Lu Yongxiang would not buy the account of his direct family, this kind of person is most afraid of only foreigners, but where do he recognize any foreigners.

When it comes to foreigners, he can't help but think of Gu Weijun, although the two have known each other for a short time, but this person is still full of gentlemanly demeanor, he is about to become the minister to the UK, and he should have some contacts with the British in Shanghai, maybe asking him to come forward can help, originally this kind of thing is inconvenient to talk to friends who are not very familiar with it, but now, the mouth that can't be opened has to be opened.

But Gu Weijun didn't know where he lived, what to do, and suddenly a person's figure came into mind Cheng Ziqing, who was patrolling the French Concession, he must know where Gu Weijun stayed.

Chen Zikun immediately called a foreign car and went straight to the patrol room of the French Concession, it happened that Cheng Ziqing did not go out to handle the case today, and was reprimanding a few plainclothes subordinates in the office.

"Chief Chen, but you're here for Brother Ling's business?" Cheng Ziqing got straight to the point.

"Exactly."

"I'm afraid this is a bit troublesome, with all due respect, Lu Gongzi is a noble person who can't afford to offend, and Brother Ling can't come up with enough money to make Lu Gongzi stop, I'm afraid this matter will not end." Cheng Ziqing said with a look of regret.

"Oh, how much does Lu Xiaojia cost?" Chan asked.

"Originally, it was for 200,000 yuan, but Mr. Yu interceded and lowered it to 100,000 yuan, 100,000 yuan to buy a life, the price is not too expensive, but unfortunately Brother Ling's career has just started, and he can't make up so much for a while, and Lu Gongzi can't rub sand in his eyes, so there is a shooting on the street today, and Brother Ling hid in the first year of junior high school, but he can't hide from fifteen."

Chen Zikun sneered: "It's just a little friction, it can easily cost people's lives, Lu Gongzi is so expensive, he can't touch it?" ”

Cheng Ziqing is an old fritter, and he saw the murderous looming in Chen Zikun's smile, and hurriedly persuaded: "Actually, this matter doesn't necessarily have to be fought to the death, didn't Chief Chen come to Shanghai with Minister Gu, I think it may have unexpected effects if he comes forward to solve it." ”

Chen Zikun's heart lit up, it seemed that Cheng Ziqing wanted to go with him, so he said: "I just don't know where Minister Gu is staying?" ”

Cheng Ziqing said: "He lives in Aili Garden. ”

"Where?"

"It's Hartung Garden, the big garden on Jing'an Temple Road."

In this way, Chen Zikun finally remembered that Hartung Garden is the mansion of Hartung, a wealthy British Jewish businessman, covering an area of hundreds of acres, extremely luxurious, exquisite architecture, and the most beautiful private garden in Shanghai, the experience of this Mr. Hartung is also an immortal legend, when he was in his twenties, he went to Shanghai alone with six silver dollars, and now he is already worth hundreds of millions of riches, the director of the Ministry of Public Concession Bureau, and in terms of identity and status, he is definitely the leading figure in Shanghai.

And Gu Weijun is the new Chinese minister to the United Kingdom, an excellent diplomat who has emerged in the diplomatic arena, Hartung has always liked to make friends with celebrities, Sun Wen Cai Ye and other revolutionary predecessors have been his guests, Gu Weijun stayed in Hartung Garden, that is a normal thing.

"Okay, then I'll go to Minister Gu, thank you Inspector Cheng." Chen Zikun shook hands with Cheng Ziqing and said goodbye, Cheng Ziqing sent him downstairs, and suddenly said without a head: "Mr. Sun Wen has returned to Guangzhou." ”

Chen Zikun was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Cheng Ziqing's sly smile, he understood that anything that happened in Shanghai could not be hidden from this Bao's inquiring eyes, and as a member of the Kuomintang, he knew everything about the assassination of the British patrol.

"Thanks for the reminder, goodbye." Chen Zikun smiled indifferently and left the patrol room.

……

The process of finding Gu Weijun was very smooth, Chen Zikun was dignified and fluent in English, and the subordinates of Hartung Garden did not dare to slack off, and the phone was connected, and it didn't take much effort to get confirmation, and politely invited him in.

Although the Hartung Garden is a private garden built by foreigners, it is completely in the Chinese architectural style, with winding paths and secluded paths, warped ridges and cornices, and the Suzhou Garden is nothing more than that, in Jing'an Temple Road, where every inch of land is valuable, it can have such a large garden, which shows the wealth of Hartung.

For some reason, Chen Zikun not only did not have a sense of admiration for Mr. Hartung, but instead had a strange thought, these flowers and plants, and exquisite buildings, should have belonged to the Chinese, and they were occupied by these foreigners!

After seeing Gu Weijun, Chen Zikun introduced the ins and outs of the matter, and Minister Gu pondered for a moment and said: "This matter is not difficult, it just so happens that He Fenglin, the envoy of the Songhu Protector, is going to hold a banquet to see me off tonight, and I will mention it to him." ”

Chen Zikun knew that He Fenglin was a heavy general under Lu Yongxiang, in charge of the first garrison in Songhu, and his position in the Zhejiang army was very important, second only to the overseer Lu Yongxiang.

……

The French cruise ship Bordeaux was moored on the Huangpu River, with colorful flags flying in its eyes, river gulls soaring with wings spread, and the whistle sounding.

Jian Bing held Chen Zikun's arm tightly, happiness was incomprehensible, her dream became a reality, she was going to follow her beloved man to travel around the world, the only thing she couldn't let go of was Li Yaoting, being chased and killed by the Overseer's son was not a joke.

Finally, Li Yaoting's figure appeared in the distance, and Jian Bing couldn't help but stilt and wave his handkerchief: "Here, here." ”

Li Yaoting saw them, hurried over, and accidentally bumped into a young man, the suitcase fell to the ground, and a pile of books fell out.

"I'm sorry buddy." Li Yaoting squatted down to help him pick up the book, but the young man was also open-minded, and said in a Huaiyin accent: "It's okay, I'll come by myself." ”

"Alright, buddy, I wish you a nice trip." Li Yaoting smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and ran a few steps to Chen Zikun, the decadence on his face had been swept away.

"With the help of nobles, it's finally fine, Da Kunzi, you can rest assured that you can go to stay abroad."
