I haven't seen Shang Yucheng for a long time, of course Lu Jingcheng hopes to have a good time with Shang Yucheng, although Shang Yucheng has always been reserved, but he can't stop Lu Jingcheng from having illusions, he bought red wine on the way, and then accompanied Shang Yucheng to the hotel.

After a long kiss, Shang Yucheng pushed Lu Jingcheng away slightly, and laughed softly: "I'm a little tired today, can you come back tomorrow?" ”

"Don't!" Lu Jingcheng hugged Shang Yucheng again with some deception, "I haven't seen you for so long, don't you want me?" ”

"Of course I miss you. But I was so tired from the many days of jolting on the boat. Shang Yucheng showed a touch of tiredness, kissed Lu Jingcheng lightly on his chin, and then said, "Let me sleep well tonight, you will pick me up early tomorrow morning, and I will accompany you all day, okay?" ”

Of course, Lu Jingcheng knew the fatigue of the long journey, and nodded reluctantly, "Then you rest early, I'll come to you tomorrow morning." ”

Shang Yucheng smiled and nodded, "Okay." I'll wait for you. ”

Only ten minutes after Lu Jingcheng left, Shang Yucheng changed into a slightly delicate floral satin cheongsam, left the hotel, called a rickshaw and rushed to the nearby dance hall Lido.

The merchant girl does not know the hatred of the country, this is the portrayal of Shanghai today. No matter how chaotic the situation is now, but the prosperity of Shanghai at night is still not lost in the past, Shang Yucheng got out of the car, stood at the door and looked at the luxurious Lido Ballroom in front of him, and then walked in.

Shang Yucheng entered the door and looked for the location of the bar, and saw several men and women sitting at the bar, and a slightly chubby man sitting a little farther away, so he slowly walked over.

A young singer with heavy makeup is singing an English song on stage, babbling and not being able to hear the lyrics, but there is a taste of lazy temptation.

Shang Yucheng walked to the bar and took a closer look at the man sitting alone before stepping forward and sitting next to him.

The man was in his thirties, drinking a glass of wine in front of him, half-squinting. There were dim lights shining on his face in the ballroom, making it impossible to see his expression.

This middle-aged man's name is Shu Qiang, although he is not good-looking, but he has some fame in the three religions and nine streams, he was originally a capable detective in the police department, and later was dismissed from public office because he offended the powerful, so he set up a private detective agency on his own, and was often entrusted to investigate which family's aunt and wife raised the face outside, or which family raised the outer room and the like.

It can be seen that the circumstances of life are often unexpected, and when he offended nobles and lost his job by begging for errands in the government in the past, he would never have expected to do a career that would offend more nobles in the future.

"Hello." Shang Yucheng stepped forward and said hello.

Shu Qiang turned his head to look at her, with a hint of surprise and scrutiny in his eyes, "Miss Shang? ”

Shang Yucheng nodded.

Shu Qiang hurriedly put down the wine glass in his hand, then half-got up and stretched out his hand towards Shang Yucheng, hehe smiled, "After sending so many telegrams, I finally saw your real body, Miss Shang is so beautiful!" ”

Shang Yucheng shook his hand casually, "Sit down." ”

"Hey!" Shu Qiang sat down, called the waiter diligently, and asked, "What does Miss Shang drink?" ”

Shang Yucheng glanced at the wine on the table and asked quietly, "I don't drink." Mr. Shu, would you like to order more? ”

"No, no, no. I'm just waiting for Miss Shang! Shu Qiang replied with a smile on his face.

Shang Yucheng nodded and said no more, and asked directly, "Is there any new progress in the hospital?" ”

Shu Qiang lowered his head and took out a thick document bag from the satchel on his body, "This is according to what Miss Shang said, the files of all the obstetricians and gynecologists and nurses in the hospital where they gave birth that year. Except for two people who have died and one who has gone abroad with her husband and cannot be contacted for the time being, half of them have already met and talked, and there is no news yet. ”

Shang Yucheng lowered his eyes slightly, and soon looked at Shu Qiang again, "What about the other person who was in the villa that night?" ”

Shu Qiang's eyes lit up, nodded, and then lowered his head and rummaged through another document bag in his satchel, "According to the time provided by Miss Shang, I found a few friends who had a good relationship with Lu Jingpeng at that time, and this is their information." But—" Shu Qiang laughed dryly, "Miss Shang said that you must not startle the snake, and the clues are really limited, and the identity of that person has not yet been determined from it." ”

After speaking, Shu Qiang looked at the chill that suddenly burst out of Shang Yucheng's eyes, and scratched his head at a loss.

"I'm sorry, Miss Shang, there is not much progress at present, I will continue to investigate."

Shang Yucheng didn't seem to notice his apology, just frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Miss Shang?" Shu Qiang called out cautiously.

"Huh?" Shang Yucheng looked up at him.

"Do you have any other clues?" Shu Qiang asked.

Shang Yucheng didn't answer, just reached out and took a file bag from the table. "At the hospital, you keep checking. I'll figure out the rest myself. ”

"Oops, hey." Shu Qiang agreed repeatedly.

Shang Yucheng glanced at him, stuffed the document bag in his hand into his handbag, and said lightly: "Thank you." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome!" Shu Qiang waved his hand in response, and before he could finish speaking, a noise and screaming suddenly sounded next to him.

The crowd instantly became chaotic, and Shang Yucheng was about to leave, but was hit by the people who were scattering and fleeing, and his handbag fell to the ground. She hurriedly leaned over to pick it up, but was hit on the back by a woman.

"Miss Shang!" Shu Qiang looked behind her in horror, looking like he wanted to come forward, but he didn't know what he saw, and he didn't dare to step forward for a while.

The screams behind him were very terrible, Shang Yucheng hurriedly turned around to look, and saw the woman behind her falling to the ground, she subconsciously planned to help, but saw a man waving something similar to a wine bottle in his hand, and was screaming and rushing towards him, the bottle was still spraying something outward, and it fell on the woman's body, and she heard a piercing scream.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, a great force pulled her aside. Shang Yucheng fell heavily to the ground, but finally reacted, the liquid in the bottle was probably sulfuric acid or something. And that woman has been splashed quite a bit!

The figure that pulled her away was very neat, scooped up a chair and threw it at the man holding the bottle, then flew up and kicked the man to the ground.

The man was in pain, and the bottle filled with sulfuric acid was about to fall to the ground, Shang Yucheng subconsciously closed his eyes and covered his face with his hands.

The expected sound of the bottle shattering did not sound, and Shang Yucheng waited for a moment before slowly lowering his hands and opening his eyes.

Very close in front of him, there was a smiling face, "It's a pity that such a beautiful face is burned." ”

"Miss Shang!"

Shu Qiang finally reacted, and hurriedly walked over to help Shang Yucheng up, "Didn't hurt you, Miss Shang?" ”

Shang Yucheng stood up and took a step back before keeping the owner of the smiling face within the limits of etiquette. Although it was just such a glimpse, Shang Yucheng suddenly felt that this face was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

The young man smiled slightly, and then gently put down the bottle wrapped in his coat, and the ballroom waiter hurried over to carry the wounded woman out, and came over to carefully collect the bottle.

"Thank you for coming to the rescue." Shang Yucheng lowered his eyes slightly, and his voice had calmed down.

Seeing the tragedy happening, this person can still joke heartlessly, and he is not necessarily a decent gentleman. Thinking like this, she suddenly remembered that she had indeed seen this person. When she first arrived in Shanghai, she was on the dock, and she once saw the scene of this gentleman's heroic rescue of beauty.

If it weren't for spinning around in the women's pile, how could there be such repeated opportunities to save beauty? Shang Yucheng had no intention of saying more to him, took the handbag that Shu Qiang picked up for her, thanked him again, turned around and walked away neatly.

She walked fast and didn't look back, and if she looked back, she would have noticed the curious and playful eyes behind her.

Back at the hotel, Shang Yucheng drank a cup of strong tea to calm down. I opened my handbag and took out the document bag, and just opened the bag, there was a sudden knock on the door.

Shang Yucheng's hand paused, quickly stuffed the document bag into the cabinet, walked to the door and asked, "Who?" ”

"Hello, I'm a waiter, and a Mr. Lu asked someone to bring something over."

It was a stylized female voice, Shang Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief and opened the door.

With a smile, the waiter handed over a brown paper bag.

Shang Yucheng took it, smiled and said thank you, and closed the door.

The kraft paper bag was folded neatly, and the warm feeling spread through the paper bag to Shang Yucheng's palm. She opened the paper bag, and inside was a bottle of warm milk.

She was just about to put the milk aside, but after thinking about it, she picked up the milk bottle again, carefully poured half of it, and then put the bottle away, turned around and walked to the cabinet and took out the document bag, and without hesitation pulled out the documents inside. Xu is moving too fast, and a photo fell. She picked up the photo and looked at it in the light.

After just one glance, Shang Yucheng fixed his gaze.

The person in the photo is the young man who just saved him in Lido!

Shang Yucheng was stunned, and couldn't help but look carefully again, I don't know where Shu Qiang found this clear frontal half-length photo of the suit, his face was very clear, and even the smile on his face was as malicious as Fang Cai. Shang Yucheng's gaze fell on the lower right corner of the photo, and there was a name written on it, Ye Shen.

She hurriedly put down the photo in her hand, followed the name on the photo to find the corresponding information, and looked at it carefully.

The Ye family is not an old Shanghainese, from Ye Shen's grandfather moved from northern Jiangsu to Shanghai, since then the fortune is out of control, from an authentic landlord to a successful businessman, to Ye Shen's father Ye Yongxin when the Ye family already has a steamship company, several hospitals and various factories, successfully among the richest in Shanghai.

It is about that the development of the family is a little fast, so that the Ye family is a little overwhelmed, ignoring the education of Ye Shen, the only son, so that although Ye Shen is as famous as his father, the field is very different.

The Ye family and the Lu family have some business dealings, and it is not surprising that Lu Jingpeng and Ye Shen know each other or even have a very close relationship, but the strange thing is that five years ago, Ye Shen and Lu Jingpeng had a bad relationship because of the competition for a dancing girl named Wu Hong, and they have since broken off contact.

The information was not long, only three pages, but Shang Yucheng stared at it for a long time. Is there really such a charming dancer who makes two sons who have seen famous flowers jealous?

Early the next morning, Lu Jingcheng went out without even eating breakfast, and rushed all the way to the hotel where Shang Yucheng lived, but after knocking on the door of the room for a long time, no one came to open the door, and he felt strange, but he saw Shang Yucheng coming from the stairs, wearing a refreshing windbreaker and trousers, holding a handbag and a newspaper in his hand, obviously just coming back from outside.

"Jing Cheng," Shang Yucheng also saw him, and walked over with a smile, "I didn't expect you to come over so early, so I went out for a walk." ”

Lu Jingcheng handed the roses in his hand to Shang Yucheng, "Why don't you sleep for a while?" ”

Shang Yucheng took out the key to open the door and replied, "I'm used to it, I can't sleep." ”

Lu Jingcheng walked in behind Shang Yucheng, and inadvertently saw only half of the milk bottle left on the table, and smiled slightly.

"Wait for me in a moment." Shang Yucheng said while taking his clothes, "When I take a shower and change clothes, let's go to the restaurant for dinner." ”

Lu Jingcheng nodded, "Okay." ”

Listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom, Lu Jingcheng couldn't help but feel a little hot, he got up and wanted to pour a glass of water to drink, and when he saw the teacup on the table, he took it.

The tea leaves brewed in the teacup took up a small half of the cup, Lu Jingcheng took the kettle and poured the water directly into it, and drank a few sips together with the residual tea, before he felt better. casually picked up the newspaper that Shang Yucheng put on the table, opened it, and glanced at it casually.

The eye-catching news attracted Lu Jingcheng's attention, "The popular dancer Su Meiying was disfigured - 'Lido' was shocked by the sulfuric acid injury case!" ”

Of course, Shang Yucheng didn't care about last night's sulfuric acid incident, she went out early in the morning to buy newspapers, just to find news about Ye Shen. It's a pity that although the incident of pouring sulfuric acid was published on the news, it only vaguely said that the gangsters were finally subdued, and as for who was subdued, he did not say a word. Presumably, the Ye family didn't want Ye Shen to get involved in these matters, so they intervened.

Shang Yucheng frowned while changing his clothes and thought about Ye Shen, even if Ye Shen suddenly stopped interacting with the Lu family five years ago, it was hard to guarantee that he would not meet the son-in-law who was in the same social circle, if he told him about his incident in Lido last night, it would be his own flaw. How do we explain the past?

Lu Jingcheng frowned slightly, the name Su Meiying was a little familiar.

In fact, as a popular dancer in Lido, Su Meiying is indeed a little famous, although Lu Jingcheng is not a boy who lingers in dance halls and bars every night, but because of entertainment and pastime, he is no stranger to these places, Su Meiying's name has been heard, and people must have seen it, but at this time, he wondered what Su Meiying was like, but he had no impression.

Lu Jingcheng glanced at the contents, heard the sound of water in the bathroom stop, and put the newspaper aside.

Shang Yucheng quickly changed his clothes and came out, simply combed his hair in the mirror, and went out with Lu Jingcheng.

Different from yesterday's solemnity, Shang Yucheng changed into a beige dress today, and wore a coquettish sunhat on his head. Walking with Lu Jingcheng looks like a perfect match.

Lu Jingcheng looked at his girlfriend with appreciation, "What do you want to eat today?" ”

Shang Yucheng thought for a moment and smiled brightly, "Eating on the ship these days, no matter what you eat, it's not very authentic. I'm really worried about the taste of steak. ”

Lu Jingcheng smiled and nodded, "Okay, I know that there is a very good Western restaurant nearby, and the chefs are all authentic French." With that, he started the car.
