Chapter 2 Clearing Gangs
"Huh... Call... Whew..."Su Mengwan opened her eyes in fright, and immediately got up from the bed and gasped for breath.
"Just now... Is it a dream? Su Mengwan looked at the bed she was lying on or made of Suzuo mahogany, and the patterns carved on the bed were so lifelike, completely different from the antique bed with golden yellow tones surrounded by the golden yellow tent with excellent embroidery in her dream just now, and then Su Mengwan involuntarily reached out and touched her neck that was still tightly pinched in her dream just now.
The residual feeling on her neck made Su Mengwan feel as if what had just happened was not a dream, but something that really happened.
"Why do I keep dreaming about them lately, who are they?" Su Mengwan frowned and said softly.
Su Mengwan has always dreamed of these two men recently, although the plot of each dream is different, and they are all intermittent fragments, but there will be these two men in each fragment.
And these two men, one named Gu Qingyang, are her childhood sweethearts in her dreams, and they really love each other; And the other is the man who is extremely cruel to her, she doesn't know what the man's name is, but she knows that the man always calls himself me, and he is very powerful, presumably he should be an emperor! She didn't understand what kind of grudge she had against this emperor that would make him so cruel to her, and she was the eldest daughter in the general's mansion. In the dream, Su Mengwan could only see her own appearance clearly, but the appearance of the two men was always vaguely unclear.
"Forget it, don't think about it! It's important to go to work, otherwise I'll be late, maybe I'm too busy at work lately to have such a dream! Su Mengwan patted her face with both hands, cheered up and said.
Now it is the Republic of China in 1927, my name is Su Mengwan, and I am a young reporter from a poster company. After the death of the Beiyang warlord Yuan Shikai in July 1926, no one had enough ability to command the entire Beiyang army and regime, and the leaders divided the provinces, and established spheres of influence in the provinces with the army as the main force, but still nominally under the control of the Beijing government, after which the Beiyang warlords were destroyed. Because these are turbulent times, the workload of the newspaper is extremely high, so as a young reporter, I am also sent to investigate new news.
"Oops, it's getting late!" Su Mengwan shouted and ran out of the small house she rented with a steamed bun in her mouth.
"Huh? Isn't that Zhang Yandao, the right-hand man of Zhang Qilin, the leader of the Shanghai Qing Gang? Where are he and his men sneaking around in broad daylight?! Su Mengwan said secretly, and then out of the professionalism of a reporter, Su Mengwan still quietly followed Zhang Yandao and others.
Su Mengwan quietly followed Zhang Yandao and the others for a long time, until she came to a warehouse and stopped, and then Su Mengwan quickly found a tree and hid it.
"The subordinates have secretly sent all this batch of goods into the warehouse." Su Mengwan only heard one person whisper.
"Excellent! You weren't discovered by the other gangs, were you? Zhang Yandao nodded and said.
"Don't worry, the subordinates are very careful, except for these brothers, there is no one until this matter!" The other said in affirmation.
"Yes, that's good! In a few days, Mr. Takeuchi will come to discuss, and there must be no leaks in this batch of goods! Zhang Yandao said coldly.
"My subordinates will do their best to protect this shipment." The other said immediately.
"Good!" After Zhang Yandao finished speaking, he walked into the warehouse with his subordinates.
Takeuchi? This is the name of the Japanese, and they have really colluded with the Japanese. But what exactly is this shipment? Just when Su Mengwan was hesitating how to enter the warehouse to check, she only heard a wave of footsteps walking towards the tree she was hiding behind one after another. Oops? Didn't you find out yourself? If they find me, with their way of doing things, I'm going to die! Thinking of this, Su Mengwan looked at the river beside her, and then jumped into the river without thinking.
"Hey, didn't you say you heard a sound here?" A man asked.
"Maybe I misheard, maybe it's just rumors." Another man replied. Then I heard the footsteps of the two of them leaving one after another. Su Mengwan, who couldn't hold her breath anymore, quickly poked her head out of the water, breathed a lot of air, and then climbed to the shore.
When Su Mengwan looked at the warehouse again, she had already found that Zhang Yandao and several of his subordinates had already left here. Su Mengwan looked at the gangsters in the warehouse, so she had to dispel the idea of going in to check, turned around and walked home. What the hell do these gangsters want to do with the Japanese?! Su Mengwan thought worriedly as she walked home, hugging her body tightly.
With Su Mengwan's back and forth, it was already completely dark, and there were few people walking on the street, and it was impossible for Su Mengwan to go to the newspaper office.
Walking through the alley that must be passed on the way home, Su Mengwan, who was already soaking wet, felt very uncomfortable at this time, and only hoped that she would hurry back home now, and then change into dry and comfortable clothes. Looking at the quiet and dark alley, Su Mengwan hugged her body even more tightly and walked forward tremblingly.
"Hmm... cough..."I only listened to the quiet and dark alley, and suddenly a cold male voice sounded.
"Who is it! Who's there? This cold male voice that suddenly came out in the alley scared Su Mengwan violently, and then Su Mengwan asked tremblingly, Su Mengwan at this time felt that the words she said were all with a vibrato.
But Su Mengwan's words had been spoken for a long time, but no one replied, and the alley was quiet again, as if the male voice just now did not exist at all, just like Su Mengwan's auditory hallucinations. Seeing this, Su Mengwan didn't care about anything else, and immediately ran towards the alley.
"Oops... Before Su Mengwan could run out a few steps, she immediately tripped over something and fell to the ground, and then she screamed and fell to the ground in embarrassment.
At this time, Su Mengwan had already been frightened, her ankles seemed to be entangled in something, no matter how hard Su Mengwan tried, she couldn't get up from the ground, and then Su Mengwan had no choice but to reach out and touch her ankles with courage and trembling. It'sβit's like a human hand! When Su Mengwan touched something wrapped around her ankle, she said secretly, and immediately got up and looked carefully at her ankle by the faint moonlight that shot into the alley. When Su Mengwan saw clearly what was wrapped around her ankle, she immediately took a long breath, and sure enough, it was a human hand!
