Chapter 12: Epilogue

Previous Chapter

People walked into the auditorium in a frenzy, and the document delivery meeting of the First Plenary Session of the Sixth Central Committee of the Kuomintang on the 76th was about to begin.

In Shi Bingnan's office, he personally buttoned Yu Xiaoshu with the style and discipline button of the new uniform.

"Starting today, it will be the deputy director, and our era has begun."

Shi Bingnan patted him on the shoulder.

"I'm going to attend a friend's funeral today, I don't know her identity, will I be a little sensitive."

Shi Bingnan smiled, he calmly stretched out his hand, picked up the cigar on the table, and took a puff gently, Yu Xiaoshu looked at the cigarette flashing a trace of red and scorching, this is an American product that has disappeared from the Shanghai market for more than a year.

"Now our identities, we can do whatever we want on the beach, who would dare to stop you?"

Yu Xiaoshu thought for a moment and nodded.

"That's right," Shi Bingnan took out an envelope from the drawer.

"The documents exchanged by Gu Heng's Mansion."

He staggered and pulled a picture out of it.

"This is found in the old archives of Zhongtong, it is very clear, let's keep a souvenir."

Yu Xiaoshu stretched out her hand and picked up the photo, and the whole person froze.

In the photo, it is a breakfast stall at the intersection of Fuzhou Road in winter, and in the fireworks streamer, there are only two backs, a girl with soft and long hair, who is intoxicated and snuggled up to a handsome man.

It was the only photo of him and her.

In the autumn of the twenty-eighth year of the Republic of China, he left unconsciously.

In Europe, Germany attacked Poland on a large scale, Britain and France declared war on Germany, and World War II broke out in full swing.

In China, on the frontal battlefield, the Japanese army attacked on a large scale, and the Battle of Changsha, the Battle of Northern Guangdong, the Battle of Zhongtiao Mountain, and the Battle of Kunlun Pass broke out one after another; Behind enemy lines, the Jiangnan Command of the New Fourth Army was established and launched a continuous anti-"sweeping" operation.

The flames of war, the wolves rushed on the land of China, continued to burn, and lasted for a long time.

And Shanghai Tang, a modern and prosperous city under the control of the Japanese puppet, is still drunk and dreaming of death, and there are countless news happening every day.

Qing gang boss Ji Yunqing was assassinated at the entrance of Jindefang Lane, South Chengdu Road, Shanghai; Xu Zong, the acting secretary of the Shanghai District of the Military Command, was arrested and led his troops to surrender to Japan; There was a rush for rice in the French Concession, and financial tycoon Liang Chengjie launched the People's Food Regulation Association to stabilize the price of rice......

In such a chaotic autumn, No. 76 under the leadership of Shi Bingnan finally became a pivotal force in Shanghai in a series of bloody battles with Dai Li's military commanders, and Shi Bingnan's goal of countering violence with violence was finally achieved, and after Du Yuesheng's mediation, the two sides finally made a temporary truce.

And Ding Mocun, Shi Bingnan, and Yu Xiaoshu have become big names in this city.

Also in the autumn of this year, Yu Xiaoshu, deputy director of No. 76, walked out of the mainland shopping mall surrounded by his bodyguards, wearing a straight suit, holding his wife Liang Xinyi. It happened that a rickshaw at the intersection accidentally knocked down an old woman, causing a brief chaos.

He slowed down suddenly, and in his rare absence, he didn't get into his bulletproof car right away.

The passengers in the rickshaw got out of the car, stood still, and also saw Yu Xiaoshu diagonally across the road.

The autumn wind blew, the golden leaves rolled all over the street, and two years passed since they parted from Nanjing.

The old woman got up and sat down on the side of the road, and the reckless coachman was still arguing with the patrolman.

The city's electricity supply is getting tighter, and a few trams are on hand to pull the patrol out of the daily boring quarrels. He turned and honked his horn to signal that pedestrians were passable.

The crowds of people in Shanghai are surging.

Zhao Fusheng and Yu Xiaoshu stood opposite each other like this, and after a long while, they separated and disappeared into the vast sea of people.
