Following.

Many residents of Shanghai Beach found a missing person notice posted on the telephone pole and wall on the side of the road when they went out.

The content of the notice is very simple, in addition to two portraits of men, and contact information, there is only one signature "He Liansheng", and such a simple notice was posted almost all over the streets and alleys of Shanghai overnight.

Pig cage walled city.

In Ah Ghost's breakfast shop, after Zhou Xingzu poured the gruel in the bowl into his stomach, he wiped his mouth twice and asked, "Brother Rong, do you say that Ah Miao and that Peng Yixing can see these missing person notices?" ”

"It depends on whether they are in Shanghai Beach or not, if they are, they will definitely be able to see it, if these two boys cross over to other places, then there is no way."

Ah Xing nodded, thought for a while, and then asked, "What if they are imprisoned?" ”

"Crow's beak!"

Zheng Jirong glared at this kid, bit the fritter and said slowly: "Although this kid is not as good as Wu Liushou's brother, and even much worse than Ah Yi, he carries a gun with him, and his marksmanship is excellent, how can ordinary people have the ability to imprison him?" As for Peng Yixing, not to mention, Ah Miao's marksmanship was learned from him. ”

"It's good that these two boys don't bully others, how can they be reduced to being bullied by others?"

"Oh too"

After Zheng Jirong finished eating the breakfast in front of him, he explained to Zhou Xingzu and his grandfather Zhou Dafu while lighting a cigarette:

"Ah Xing, and Dafu, I also told you about the things I discussed with Ding Li, do you two have any ideas?"

Zhou Xingzu immediately shook his head when he heard this: "I didn't, anyway, Brother Rong, I will do whatever you say." ”

"Yes, Mr. Zheng", Chow Tai Fook put down the bowl in his hand and said with a soft expression: "You are my good grandson's boss, before I met you, Ah Xing kept saying how good his boss on Hong Kong Island was, I think you will definitely not harm us." ”

After listening to their words, Zheng Jirong smiled and said, "This is natural, I never treat my friends and brothers badly." ”

He first glanced at Ah Ghost who was rolling noodles at the door of the store, and after seeing that he didn't pay attention to this, he lowered his head and whispered to Ah Xing and the two:

"You guys have been helping me keep an eye on the movements of the Axe Gang these days, especially their gang leader, Chen Chen, I want to know all the movements of this guy these days, and."

He put his hand on Ah Xing's shoulder and said solemnly to him: "Remember to be careful, although these guys are called the Axe Gang, they all have guns on hand, although their fists and feet are not bad, and they will also have special functions in one hand, but they still have to be cautious, and if they find something wrong, they will withdraw directly." ”

"Don't worry, Brother Rong!"

Ah Xing first patted his chest and agreed, and then said with an unfathomable face: "Actually, there is no need to be so troublesome at all, I have a special function, even if the other party is thousands of miles away, but as long as I know his appearance, I can see where this person is now." ”

"Eh", Zheng Jirong waved his hand and said: "Isn't it [Tianyantong], of course such a good move has to be used at the most critical time, isn't it overkill to take it out now?" ”

"That's right."

Zhou Xingzu nodded clearly, and then said with a strange expression: "Brother Rong. I found out how you know everything about my things."

"Hahaha, otherwise how can you say that you met such a good big brother as me." Zheng Jirong couldn't help but pat this kid on the shoulder.

Chow Tai Fook on the side saw that they were talking and laughing, and he also interjected and said: "Yes, yes, Mr. Zheng, don't worry, you don't believe it, but I, Chow Tai Fook, used to be hi in the society." ”

"Huh?"

Zhou Xingzu immediately shook his head and said: "You are a sissy, and a sissy will not be a high society." ”

Chow Tai Fook replied coquettishly: "Let me tell you, I hate it when people say I'm a sissy." ”

"But you're a sissy."

"I'm Hi Society!"

"Okay, well, then you're a sissy hi society."

"It's not! I'm the gold medal killer in Hi society! ”

“.”

Seeing that the grandfather and grandson were pinched again, Zheng Jirong smiled helplessly, and after casually putting down a banknote worth one hundred silver dollars to Ah Xing and them as activity funds, he stretched his waist and walked to the rolling table at the door of the store.

"Brother Ghost, how is business going today?"

"Hey, it's all a small business, and the people who come to take care of it are all the surrounding neighborhoods, and it's just a mix of food, so what's not good."

Zheng Jirong recalled in his mind after hearing it, it seems that in the original film, Ah Ghost, who is the owner of the early shop, has been in arrears with the rent of the charter wife for several months.

In reality, this point is actually a bit unreasonable, with the flow of people in the pig cage walled city, and there is only a ghost in the vicinity, it is impossible for him to not even pay the rent no matter how bad his business is.

Although the pig pen city is considered a slum area in Shanghai, the people who live here are really not poor.

"Huh? Xiaozhu, are you going to school? ”

"Morning, Uncle Ghost."

"Wait", seeing Ah Zhu walking past the door of the store with his schoolbag, Ah Ghost hurriedly wrapped a few buns in oiled paper, and before Ah Zhu could react, he had already stuffed them into her arms, "Take them to school to eat." ”

"Thank you, Uncle Ghost!"

Seeing that this student girl looked accustomed to it, it was obvious that this was not the first time that such a situation had happened.

Seeing this, Zheng Jirong couldn't help but nod and praise: "Brother ghost, you are really a bodhisattva." ”

"Alas, the people who live here are poor people, so you can help a little if you can."

Hearing him talk about this, Zheng Jirong couldn't help but ask strangely: "Speaking of which, I don't know if you have noticed it, Brother Ghost, the residents of the entire walled city seem to be a little different?" ”

"Is there one? How did I not find out? ”

Zheng Jirong immediately pointed to the workers who were carrying sandbags to the dock on the road, workers are very common, and workers who resist bags are also common, but workers who carry more than a dozen bags of sandbags are also common. It was the first time he had seen him.

"They're just a little stronger, what's so strange?"

"What about this?"

Zheng Jirong pointed to a few children in the corner who were playing with stone locks, "I've seen a lot of little ghosts, and it's really the first time I've seen a little ghost practicing blocks, is this normal?" ”

Then, without waiting for Ah Ghost to answer, he pointed to several other places one after another, "Look at that aunt, and that old man, well, it looks stronger than me, don't you think it's strange?" ”

"Ah Rong"

Ah Ghost patted Zheng Jirong on the shoulder and said to him seriously: "Why do you bother with these things, you just need to know that they are all good people, right?" ”

"When you fell from the sky, no one asked you where you came from."

"Amount"

Zheng Jirong was instantly choked when he heard this, and after he was stunned, he smiled dumbly and said, "I see, I understand." ”

Ah Ghost also smiled, and then whispered to him, "Ah Rong, I just accidentally overheard your conversation, are you in line with the Axe Gang?" ”

Zheng Jirong raised his eyebrows when he heard this, they could hear the voice they spoke so low just now, how careless it must be.

He nodded slightly and explained, "Brother Ghost, don't worry, it's all a trivial matter, and it won't affect the walled city." ”

"Alas"

Ah Ghost shook his head and said regretfully: "Wang Yaqiao, the previous leader of the Axe Gang, is a well-known hero in the rivers and lakes, and the name of [Jianghuai Hero] is known to everyone, but I didn't expect that since his death, the Axe Gang, which once specialized in the poor people, has become a lackey of foreigners and rich businessmen. ”

After listening to his words, Zheng Jirong replied with the corners of his mouth raised: "They just went the wrong way, if someone can lead them again, it will be a matter of time before the Axe Gang is reborn." ”

"I hope so!"

Evening.

Zheng Jirong changed into a set of evening dresses specially used to participate in the reception salon during the Republic of China at home, and after facing the mirror with the bow tie in front of his neck, he sighed a little helplessly.

In the past, when he was on Hong Kong Island, Ruan Mei would take care of what activities and clothes to wear, and he only had to open his hands and wait for Ah Mei to dress him.

Now that I'm living alone in Shanghai, I'm really not used to it. And he can't contact the Hong Kong Island side now, counting from the time he arrived here, two days and two nights have passed, Ruan Mei and Jimmy must be in a hurry.

Honk. Doodle

At this time, there was a sudden sound of a car honking downstairs, Zheng Jirong glanced through the window, and the driver sent by Ding Li to pick him up for the reception had arrived.

Downstairs.

Looking at Zheng Jirong, who was in a suit and leather shoes and had a tall posture, Ding Li in the back seat couldn't help but praise: "Mr. Zheng is really extraordinary, I think there will be a lot of rich daughters who will be fascinated by you at tonight's cocktail party." ”

"Hahaha", Zheng Jirong pulled the car door and sat beside him, and asked curiously: "Speaking of which, I still don't know who the rich man who held the cocktail party is, can Mr. Ding tell me?" ”

"It's the mayor today."

"Mayor?"

Zheng Jirong frowned when he heard this, can the mayor still have a drinking party dinner at home?

"Aren't the people who came to this reception all from the political and business worlds?"

"Not really."

Ding Li threw one out to Zheng Jirong, lit it and slowly explained: "This drinking party is mainly to celebrate the twentieth birthday of his daughter Ruxian, so most of the people who came over were young people. ”

He then squeezed his eyebrows at Zheng Jirong and said: "These young people are not simple, almost all the elders in the family are big names in the military, political and business worlds of Shanghai Tang, if you can hook up with one, the little axe gang can solve it with a snap of your fingers." ”

"Hahaha", Zheng Jirong smiled when he heard this: "According to Boss Ding's meaning, it seems that you have already hooked it?" ”

Ding Li nodded proudly, "If the fairy girl and I have been in love for a long time, if nothing else, we will be engaged next month." ”

It's really ticked.

"Then I will congratulate Boss Ding in advance on having a lover and finally becoming a family."

"Hahaha, you're welcome."

The French Concession Haige Road, that is, the Huashan Road in later generations.

Compared to the Xiafei Road next door, Haig Road has a lot more force.

There are a lot of European-style apartments on this road, which are only open to foreigners, and no matter how rich the Chinese are, if it doesn't matter, they are not eligible to move in.

Although Xiafei Road is becoming more and more prosperous, it is full of White Russian residents, and even some courtesans and movie stars live here, which invisibly lowers the grade.

The high-level Chinese and foreigners in Shanghai Tang generally think that Xiafei Road is very LOW at this time.

In front of the gate of a European-style villa, the driver took out the invitation card in his hand, and the car drove into the courtyard of the villa unimpeded.

On both sides of the road are pine trees that stand like guards, and the first thing that catches your eye when you enter is a fountain several meters high.

It seems that this mayor is usually greedy for money.

When Ding Li and Zheng Jirong entered the house, the drinking party was about to start.

It is worth mentioning that the mayor of Shanghai seems to be very friendly, and as soon as the two entered the door, he took his daughter Ruxian to greet him.

"Hahaha, Mr. Ding, you're a little late this time."

"I picked up a friend halfway through, so I took a detour."

After speaking, he pointed to Zheng Jirong on the side and introduced: "This is Mr. Zheng Jirong Zheng, who has just returned from studying abroad." ”

"Hello Mayor," Zheng Jirong smiled.

"It turned out to be Mr. Zheng, what a talent", the mayor nodded, and then introduced him to Ruxian, who had been looking at Ding Li with tenderness in his eyes, "This is my daughter Ruxian, today is her twentieth birthday, and this cocktail party is also specially held for her." ”

"Hello Miss Ruxian", after Zheng Jirong smiled at Ruxian, he reached behind him and took out a gift box directly, "A little gift, please accept it Miss Ruxian." ”

"Thank you."

After a few people greeted each other, Ding Li dragged Ruxian to the center of the dance floor, leaving Zheng Jirong alone sitting bored on the sofa holding a wine glass.

Seeing that Ding Li, this guy, left himself alone after seeing his lover, Zheng Jirong shook his head helplessly, and began to look at the guests around him, looking for tonight's prey.

What made him a little proud was that when he looked at these people, Zheng Jirong found that many rich daughters were secretly glancing at him, and there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes, as if he was going to come over to talk to him in the next second.

"Huh?! It's you! ”

At this moment, a somewhat familiar voice suddenly came from the side of the sofa, Zheng Jirong turned his head to look, Bai Xiuzhu was looking at himself with wide eyes, a look of surprise.

"It's such a coincidence, Miss Bai, you are also here."

Seeing that Zheng Jirong recognized him, the corners of Bai Xiuzhu's mouth rose and said, "Yes, Mr. Zheng, I didn't expect the next time you said to meet you so quickly." ”

Hearing this woman's specially accentuated voice on the Zheng character, Zheng Jirong smiled and said, "It seems that Miss Bai has found out my identity." ”

"Don't be sentimental, I didn't take the initiative to check your identity, it's just that some people wrote their names when they ate ducks."

After saying this, Bai Xiuzhu raised her hand and pulled the corner of her skirt and sat directly next to Zheng Jirong.
