Chapter 21 Tenderness of the soft underbelly

The lights are on, and the night is hazy.

No. 185 Kaiyun Street, Pan Asia Metropolis, with neon lights flashing and traffic. This is the main event venue for nightlife for senior Japanese officials and Manchu upstarts in the Xinjing area. Four-story European Byzantine-style buildings are brightly lit and crowded.

In the first floor singing and dancing hall, on the stage, the golden-medal singer Ci Di sang the sad "Waiting for You to Come Back" under the dazzling lights. More than ten pairs of men and women danced gracefully in the dance floor, swaying in a variety of shapes. There were wine seats surrounded by sofas, with red lights and green wine, laughter and singing.

Lu Shikun and Nalan Songhan had a great time at the banquet in the northeast corner of the hall. Zhao Shanhe and Lu Liujin stood behind them in straight suits.

Lu Shikun held the wine glass and said, "Fu Nian, Song Mian is my lifelong concern. I feel relieved when this girl is in danger. However, I will never let him feel good about that valley. If I touch my daughter, how can I finish it?"

Nalan said: "Brother Yuntong, you should be more cautious. There is no good thing for these guys. That guy has a Japanese as the backstage. You should put the overall situation first in everything. This is not the place where we talk about important things. I will ask Miss Ci to dance with me later. Do you agree?"

Lu Shikun smiled and said, "She is your future sister-in-law, you can do whatever you want. You never bring Yunqiu here, but have some other ideas?"

"Where is Yunqiu in our family? She likes reading and playing the piano the most. She doesn't want to come to such a place. After a while, I'll do it!"

As the two were talking, Cidi walked over in a water-blue cheongsam, "Oh, isn't this Nalan San Master? Why did you come here to have a drink with my old Lu today?"

"I haven't seen my sister-in-law Fangrong for a long time. Can't I come today? I think you can do good things. My sister-in-law doesn't need to sing here anymore. It's time to enjoy life. It's been several years, but there's nothing going on. It's not like when I went to Ning'an to buy goods and saw Yunqiu in the Heilongjiang Metropolitan Palace. She said that you dare to propose marriage, and I dared to marry. Without saying a word, she proposed marriage to her father. I said that your old man agreed, and we'll do it in the right way. If you don't agree, the girl will follow me directly and see me. What do you think? My father-in-law didn't say anything. He held the wedding that night and entered a bridal chamber. We're so quick! Look at you two again, and they're like kneading the dough back and forth, and didn't make dumplings." Nalan joked.

Cidi said: "Old Lu has been very enthusiastic about me over the years. He is just worried about that girl Song Mian. He always wants to wait for Song Mian to find her husband and we will study our own affairs. I am not in a hurry. At this age, what else can I ask for? As long as I can see him and my daughter safely every day, I will feel at ease."

Lu Shikun said very helpfully: "Di'er is like this, always thinking about me, and I am content. Song Mian is really worried. Fortunately, I feel relieved to you. Let Yunqiu teach her well. To say, brother, you don't like to listen, I will never let her marry that deputy director Lu. I don't want anyone from my lower generation to do traitors. It's not that you, don't be too careful."

Nalan said: "You are stubborn, don't tell me who I want to talk about. If it weren't for the ups and downs of life and death, I would have been no longer with you. Sister-in-law, go and dance with me, I'm sad."

Just as Nalan was about to get up, he saw a team of plainclothes spies rushing in from outside with weapons.

"Don't move-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I saw Chen Gong walk out of the black dog group, wearing a dark green knight outfit, holding a pistol in his hand, and walked straight towards Lu Shikun, "President Lu, why are you here to enjoy it? Don't you invite me to have a drink? Ah, it's still French brandy, very tasteful."

Lu Shikun said: "Who are you? Why don't I know you? What advice can I give?"

Chen Gong said: "If you don't know me, I can know you. Below is Chen Gong, the captain of the Operations Team of the Police Department's Special Services Section. Today I am looking for you to ask you to go to the Police Department to discuss something."

Lu Shikun said: "If you have something to ask Luo Weixian to come to me, you little captain can't help me." Lu Shikun was obviously very annoyed.

Cidi said: "Captain Chen, don't you know me? Don't you come here often to drink? If you have anything to sit down and discuss?"

Chen Gong said proudly: "It turns out that Miss Ci wants to plead for President Lu, but unfortunately you don't like me, so let's just lean aside."

Nalan Ke didn't care about his behavior, stood up, pointed at Chen Cong's forehead and said, "You are so timid. President Lu is not only the president of the Yoshikazu Chamber of Commerce, but also the deputy agent of the Central Bank, and the guest of honor for General Rikikari. You little captain, you are actually doing this. Get out of here quickly and don't disturb your third master's good mood."

"San Master? Whose third master are you? Director Luo? Director Luo can't care about what I'm doing now. Please talk less and leave with me obediently, otherwise I will be strong."

"You dare!" Lu Liujin pulled out his pistol and pressed it straight to Chen Gong's forehead.

Chen Gong was very arrogant, "Okay, kid, what are you doing? The technique is fast enough, have you seen it? My people surrounded this place, who can move? Don't play tricks with this captain." As he said that, he glared at Lu Shikun and Nalan viciously.

Nalan Songhan had never suffered such grievances. "Pa----" threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and the men and women in the hall looked at it without saying a word.

Nalan shouted angrily to Chen Gong: "You have something to raise and don't teach me. You dare to mess with me. You have to rebel against you. I think you, the captain of the dog, have done your best. Give me a gun Liujin, I will kill him first and then study who his father and master are."

Chen Gong was completely angry by these words, "Who did you say have a mother to raise? I don't care who you are?" As he said that, he pressed his gun straight into Nalan's chest, and Nalan held the gun and pointed it at Chen Gong's forehead.

Lu Shikun knew that Chen Gong came with hostility, so he naturally had a connection. He didn't want to implicate Nalan because of his own affairs, so he said, "Captain Chen, it doesn't matter if I go with you. Please let me go this third master Nalan for me. He has nothing to do with what you want to ask about me, right? He is the direct descendant of Chief Yu Zhishan, the cousin of Emperor Kant, and the current deputy director of the Military and Political Department. He can't move him. If he moves, can anyone live in your whole family? Don't be so naive. Put all the guns away and let your people retreat. I'll go with you. What can you do to me?"

Nalan was obviously unhappy with this, which made him feel embarrassed and full of anger.

Lu Shikun said again: "Brother Fu Nian, how big can it be? If you don't have any trouble, you can dance with your future sister-in-law with peace of mind. I'll come back to find you after you finish your business. That mountain and river, come home and tell you Uncle Zhan that I won't go home for dinner tonight. Let's go, the majestic Captain Chen."

Nalan pulled Lu Shikun for a moment, "Brother Yuntong, you don't need to move here. I see how brave he is to take you away."

Lu Shikun said emotionally: "Brother, it's okay. If you see that I don't come out within two hours, wouldn't you just need to ask Lao Luo or Lao Yu to pick me up at the police station? It's okay." Then he patted Ci Di's shoulder and handed the wine glass in his hand to Nalan's hand.

At this time, a man limped over, nearly fifty years old, wearing a white suit, leaning on a crutch, shiny big back head, horoscope eyebrows, phoenix eyes, thin mouth, and shrewd eyes, "Isn't this Captain Chen? Can't you tell me about the big thing here? You and President Lu are both regular customers here, and we have gradually become friends. If you have something to say, don't use guns, don't use force."

Chen Cong obviously didn't buy it, "I said Chang Jifang, you don't have the right to speak about this official matter. While staying there, you Mr. Chen, I feel uncomfortable. I have to do serious business. Don't think about letting go of my people. After I finish the serious business, I will settle the score with him." These arrogant words were obviously for Nalan to listen to.

Lu Shikun was very general-oriented, "Let's go, Captain Chen, how much energy do you dare to provoke the emperor's cousin? What's the harm in my walk with you? Don't hurt the harmony." As he said that, with the help of Cidi, he put on a woolen coat, pulled the plainclothes spy's pistol barrel with his hands, and walked towards the main entrance of the dance hall with his hands.

Chang Ji waved his hand to everyone, "Everyone have fun, keep going, a little misunderstanding." Then he said to Nalan: "San brother, come with me to the second floor. You must stabilize that mountain and river, go back to find Lao Zhan, so that he can rest assured that Lao Lu will not be in trouble with me and the third brother."

Ci Di felt very uneasy, "Brother Jiefang, what should I do?"

Chang Jifang knew that it was impossible for her to sing again, so he said, "You go to the second floor to rest for a while. I will tell you what happened to Lao Lu in time. Don't worry, Chen Gong didn't dare to touch Lao Lu. If he really dared to move, I will destroy his whole family."

Nalan followed Chang Jifang to the second floor. Chang Jifang's reception room and two sets of Taishi chairs in the room were all Chinese-style home furnishings.

The two sat down, and Lu Liujin stood outside the door to watch.

Chang Jifang said: "I said, "Third Brother, you are really not afraid of heaven or earth. If you really shoot this kid to death, I guess Zhang Jinghui should settle the score with you."

Nalan asked in confusion: "His surname is Chen, what does it have to do with Zhang Jinghui, the old turtle boy?"

"Third brother, don't you know that this kid is the illegitimate son of Zhang Jinghui's outer room. Zhang Jinghui's wife is so strong that she never regards Mrs. Chen as a family member. Later, when Chen Gong was a teenager, Mrs. Chen had a dispute with Zhang Jinghui for some reason. Lao Zhang shot her to death. Later, the kid went to school with the support of Lao Zhang and went to Japan to study. After returning to China, under the arrangement of Lao Zhang, he entered the police hall. I heard that this kid was ruthless. Even so, Zhang Jinghui's sons looked down on him, especially Lao Zhang's second son Zhang Linyou, who was guarding against him everywhere, fearing that he would divide his family property with them in the future. Therefore, even if he had such a father who was the speaker, he would become the captain of the action team."

Nalan said: "No wonder, I just called him 'I have a mother to raise but no mother to teach him'. He was so angry! What would you say they would find Lao Lu?"

Chang Jifang said: "Brother Third, do you hear Qingfengtang?"

"I know, what's wrong with this?"

"Tell me the truth. As far as I know, the founder of Qingfeng Hall is related to Lao Lu. Has something happened to Qingfeng Hall and led Lao Lu in?"

Nalan said: "This Qingfengtang has a very good reputation among the people. I have talked to Lao Lu about helping the poor and upholding justice, but he just smiled and didn't answer. We now guess that this is useless. Don't really have something wrong with him, it will be difficult to deal with."

Chang Jifang said: "In my opinion, the reason why Chen Cong is so arrogant must be supported by the Japanese, which is very unfavorable to Lao Lu. We have to study ways to save him. It will be dangerous for him to stay there for one more minute."

Nalan said: "What you have to do now is to entrust me to buy seven commercial offices to help me do some things. I will go to my brother Lu to save Lao Lu."

"Is it the new security chief with the title of Deputy Chief Police Chief? The one who saved Lao Yu's mother, Lao Yu and your life?"

"Well, I'll introduce it to you when I have time. I'll leave first."

As the two were talking, Ci Di came to the door, "San Master, the Army Hospital just called and said that Vice President Lu had been looking for you for a long time and asked you to get there quickly."

Nalan said: "It seems that I really have to go there soon. Brother is in trouble. Jifang, please wait for my news. Take care of my sister-in-law. Whenever I have news, I will arrange someone to tell you. With me here, Lao Lu should be fine."

While walking out wearing a coat, he said, "Six jin, prepare a car to the Army Hospital immediately."
