On the eve of the wedding of the century, a major event happened in Shanghai.

After the Fengtian incident, the anti-Japanese sentiment in the country rose. The No. 1 textile factory in Shanghai-Sanyou Textile Factory is no exception. It spontaneously organized an anti-Japanese volunteer army of as many as 400 people to drill before going to work every day, vowing to regain the three northeastern provinces. In another daily drill, five Japanese monks came to provoke at the entrance of the factory and clashed.

Of course outnumbered, one Japanese monk died and one was seriously injured.

This incident caused an uproar among Japan and the Japanese in China. The status of monks is very high in Japan. The commander of the Japanese Navy directly intervened and made four unreasonable demands: a public apology, severe punishment of the murderer, compensation for economic losses, and banning all civil resistance against Japan. organization.

Xu Rui’an, the head of the military department, advocates seeking peace. And there are not a few people in Shanghai who support his ideas.

But Lin Daoshan, the minister of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, raised an objection. There is a strange thing about this matter. It is the professional thugs who hurt people. It cannot be ruled out that the Japanese side invited to mix with the Chinese side to cause trouble. If we make concessions, not only will the people feel chilly, but also these Japanese invaders will be able to make progress. National finances are already very tight due to the war, how can we allocate funds for such unreasonable demands?

The two future relatives were tit-for-tat on this matter, and tacitly decided to postpone the wedding until the situation subsided.

The matter has not been finalized yet, dozens of members of the Japanese Overseas Chinese Youth Comrades Association couldn’t bear it. They set fire to the Sanyou Textile Factory during the night, and killed three Chinese patrols from the Ministry of Industry and Technology who came to organize the fire fighting.

In the afternoon of the next day, He Yang Zhenwu incited 1,200 Japanese expatriates to assemble on Wenjianshi Road and march along North Sichuan Road, demanding “justification”. When approaching Qiujiang Road on the way, riots began and attacked Chinese shops. Unrest broke out.

So far, it is very obvious that the Japanese side is deliberately causing trouble. Want an excuse to start a war.

Chen Shu, commander of the 19th Route Army who was in charge of defending Shanghai, advocated fighting. Xu Xingcheng was still on vacation, and when he heard the news at home breakfast, he threw the newspaper angrily. “The little Japanese devil crawled on top of his head! Let’s kill him without leaving a piece of armor.”

Xu Rui’an looked at her son and took a sip of coffee slowly. “The courage of a man. In the opinion of the chairman, there must be no war now. Let’s adapt.”

Sure enough, the Nanjing government misjudged the situation. It is thought that Japan has already assembled its forces for the general offensive to make a provocation. We are not prepared enough, and will inevitably be defeated in a rash battle. Therefore, the mayor of Shanghai was rushed to call: “We should take the preservation of the Shanghai economic center as the prerequisite, and only take a moderate attitude towards Japan’s requirements. We should immediately convene all walks of life to explain, and there must be no conflicts that cause the Shanghai market to be violently seized.”

“Mr. Qian, you should do something.” Migaomei, Luo Fusheng sat in a leather chair, his slender legs resting on the table. One hand is holding the telephone receiver, and the other is holding a wine glass.

“I’m not greedy for life and fear of death. I am willing to be the first to rush to kill the Japanese. But so many brothers from the Qinggang follow me. This time our Qinggang jumped out, completely torn from the Japanese. A little careless whole. The Green Gang will be destroyed. Luo Fusheng, are you really trying to lure me into the game for your own desires?”

Luo Fusheng drank all the wine in his hand. “As many people as your youth help, my Hong Gang will send out as many people as I am. Luo Fusheng included. But all in the name of your Youth Gang. Think about the people’s reaction to the Nationalist Government now. You are righteous and respond to each other. What are you afraid of.”

“Then what do you plan? If things are really like what you said, then the Qing Gang will replace the Hong Gang in Shanghai.”

“There are no eggs under the nest? Only by guarding this country can we talk about sharing the world equally.”

Luo Fusheng’s remarks made Qian Kuohai a little bit like. Last time in the car, he said that he would join hands with the Japanese against the Japanese. He was just a mindful attitude. After all, this young man made some sort of appearance. “Does your foster father know about this?”

“He doesn’t know.” Luo Fusheng did not discuss these plans with Hong Zhengbao. But he believed that the foster father would guess his intentions. It is the best preservation not to involve him at this time.

“You kid is quite bold. Don’t worry, I am also a moralist, Qian Kuohai. One day, when China is restored, I will make public what you have done today and return you innocent.”

“It’s all fake names.” Luo Fusheng finished speaking and hung up the phone. Called Luo Cheng to come in. “Acheng, how long have you been with me?”

“Brother, why do you suddenly ask such a thing? Who remembers it so clearly. For more than ten years.”

“It’s thirteen years.” Luo Fusheng sighed. “If I let you leave the Hong Gang, would you be willing?”

“What!” Luo Cheng was surprised. “Big brother, what do you want to do?”

“You are not the only one. Take away all Migaomei’s subordinates, as well as those whom you have trusted in the Hong Bang. Go and take refuge in Qiankuohai.”

Luo Cheng was completely confused. He would never believe that Luo Fusheng would betray the Hong Gang. But doing this now, what is it if it is not a betrayal? He pondered for a long while. “Can you give me a reason?”

“I can’t say for the time being, but what I did is absolutely worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth. If you don’t want to, I can also find other people. I know you grew up in Hong Bang, which is also very difficult for you.”

“I picked it up from the street by you and Uncle Luo. Since the eldest brother said that this matter is worthy of the conscience of heaven and earth, I must do it! You can tell. How to do it?”

“Tomorrow the Mayor of Shanghai will announce that it will accept the four requests made by the Japanese. The Youth Gang will take this opportunity to attack the Japanese Overseas Chinese Comrade Youth Association on Tanggu Road. I want you to instigate the Hong Gang brothers to join together, but you must never reveal that it is me or What Lord Hong means. Everything is your own patriotic consciousness, and you want to reveal your intention to break with the Hong Gang for this matter.”

“This…” Luo Fusheng’s words contained too much information, and Luo Cheng would not be able to react for a while. “Isn’t these news all internal government intelligence? How would you know, big brother?”

“Don’t ask too much. The more you know, the more dangerous you are. Just do it.”

Sure enough, at noon the next day, Shanghai Mayor Wu Fang announced the “reconciliation” agreement on the radio. In the afternoon, the Qing Gang launched an attack. More than 3,000 people were gathered to besiege the Japanese Overseas Chinese Comrade Youth Association. Luo Fusheng also pretended to be in ambush.

In the high-end western restaurant, Huang Xinghan and Lin Ruomeng are sitting at the same table.

The new movie “Two Butterflies” they starred in was released a while ago. In the movie, Hong Lan and Lin Ruomeng star in a pair of sisters who fall in love with the same man (played by Huang Xinghan).

Fluttershy, played by Lin Ruomeng, misses her lover and takes care of her sister’s entanglement. Shining brilliantly in the movie, and Hong Lan both became Shanghai’s hottest female stars. He also became friends with similar interests with Huang Xinghan.

Because of marriage, Hong Lan announced her retirement after marriage. This movie may be the last time the two of them collaborated.

From time to time, Hong Lan would ask her to go out for a drink and chat and feel distressed. She still couldn’t accept the fact that she was going to marry Xu Xingcheng, but what happened at the hotel that night left her no position to toss. I had to admit my fate and marry as a woman after the war subsided.

And Lin Ruomeng was even more upset because of what he knew in Chongming Village that day, and no one could tell. The two flowers and jade girls are like roses with curled edges.

Huang Xinghan stirred the salad in front of him, and asked Lin Ruomeng, “Still depressed?”

Lin Ruomeng sighed, barely holding up a smile.

“You have to know that if I change to another girl and can eat at the same table with me, I will take the initiative to invite. Her face will definitely not be your current look.” Huang Xinghan teased her deliberately.

“Sorry, did I take your interest? I said not to come.”

Huang Xinghan put the mixed salad in front of Lin Ruomeng, and then took the untouched portion in front of her to fetch it. “How can you be disappointed? It is an honor for Huang Xinghan to have dinner with Miss Lin.”

“It’s my honour. I heard the director say that the role of Fluttershy would fall to me because you have always recommended me to him. In fact, when it comes to this, I have always been curious. At the beginning, you and I were just One side, why would you recommend me to play?”

“Because of the look in your eyes.”

“The look in the eyes?”

“The eyes that are different from this dirty era are clear, full of hope and power. In your eyes, it seems that you can read the future and see the tomorrow.”

Lin Ruomeng chuckled, “How can it be so exaggerated as you said.”

Huang Xinghan held Tianying’s hand emotionally. “You didn’t realize the awakening power contained in yourself. This power is more powerful than guns. And each of us is a carrier that carries and spreads this power without exception.”

Lin Ruomeng pulled her hand back. “I believe we will be the best partners. What you said just touched me very much. I remember the last time I heard such exciting words, it was a long time ago. But unfortunately, the person who led me has changed. It’s not the same anymore…”

In the face of her explicit rejection, Huang Xinghan was not embarrassed either. Wiped his hands with a napkin. “It is precisely because this era is confused and many people are changing. Therefore, we need to have a strong heart to cope with the changes. We can do more than you think.”

At this time, the waiter served the dishes, and a steak was placed in front of everyone.

“I’m sorry, but I can’t use the above chopsticks. I’m not used to using the knife and fork. I’m sorry, just laughed.” Lin Ruomeng put the knife and fork on the waiter’s tray. Suddenly remembered the way Luo Fusheng grabbed the bun and stuffed it into his mouth, so comfortable. He said that the Chinese should look like a Chinese, and learn from foreign devils.

“It’s okay. In front of me, how happy you are. But in front of other people, you need to know the degree. Just like this steak, you need to know the heat and measure when frying. Acting, the same principle. Fried. Nine points of ripeness makes it too sophisticated, too slick, pretentious, and unpleasant. But when it’s just half cooked, it will appear too immature, green and astringent. If you eat too much, it will make your stomach upset.

“So, how familiar is the most suitable for us?”

“Five-minute familiarity, somewhere between mature and youthful. The most advanced performance should not be seen in the performance, flowing in every moment of life, temporarily forgetting the real me and putting into the role you need to play in your life. , Acting life into a drama. When one day, you can skillfully use a knife and fork to eat steak, it does not mean that you must like this way, but you have learned how to act and pretend to be another kind of person. This is what we are going to do.”

Lin Ruomeng said that he was educated, and Huang Xinghan got up and leaned to the bathroom.

Lin Ruomeng’s chopsticks were picked in the salad unconsciously, and suddenly a person sat across from her. She was still wondering how Huang Xinghan could come back quickly, but she looked up and saw Luo Fusheng who was pale.

Luo Fusheng took a sip of the red wine in his glass, and there was a little blood on his lips. Huang Xinghan’s black suit jacket was placed on the back of the chair. He directly took it and put it on, buttoned the suit buttons under the table, covering the blood-stained shirt and vest on his lower abdomen.

“Luo…” Lin Ruomeng just wanted to speak, when the door was suddenly chaotic. Several Japanese soldiers rushed into the hotel, looked around and fired a shot in the sky, saying in bad Chinese, “Who saw the gangster running in?”

Lin Ruomeng didn’t know the conflict that broke out outside at this time, but he also knew that these Japanese were born against Luo Fu. There are a few drops of blood on the table, left by Luo Fusheng when he ran in. Lin Ruomeng took advantage of the fact that these Japanese hadn’t seen it yet, and took out the qualities that an actor should have, calmly pretending that the napkin fell to the ground. He bent down and quickly wiped off those drops of blood.

As soon as Lin Ruomeng put the napkin into her handbag, she felt a cold object pointed at her temple. “What are you doing? Just hid something in the bag and take it out.”

Luo Fusheng slapped the table to stand up, as long as he suffered a wound, he couldn’t cover it. Lin Ruomeng smiled and opened the Japanese soldier’s muzzle. “Soldier, be careful. I’m not afraid to be scared.”

She took out a copy of Lin’s identity certificate from her bag and handed it over. In these years of chaos, in order to be afraid of accidental injury, big and decent households will have proof of their own family. When going out, people may not recognize this face, but they must recognize this proof.

“This is mansion of Miss Lin?” The Japanese soldier took a look and returned the certificate to him in an anguish. But his eyes still stared at Luo Fusheng.

“My friends and I are sitting here for dinner. It’s been an afternoon, and no strangers came in. This is a high-end French restaurant. Look at which one of you around here is not a savvy person? You just shot that rashly and hurt anyone. It’s not easy to explain!”

“Baga. It’s not your turn to teach me how to do things! You Chinese pigs are making trouble outside and hurting so many of our diaspora. Everyone must be searched and checked!”

Lin Ruomeng is right, the people in this restaurant are all people with identities. Who can stand his provocation like this. A square-faced man stood up at the table behind them.

Before the Japanese soldiers could react, they heard three popping shots. The man’s hands didn’t even shake, and the three Japanese soldiers had fallen to the ground, bleeding all over the floor.

“Clean up. Don’t disturb everyone’s meal.” Several men around him obeyed the order and gave a military salute. The corpse was quickly dragged out, and the blood on the floor was also dragged clean. As if nothing happened.

Lin Ruomeng was shocked when he saw three Japanese dead in front of him. Qiang calmly walked towards the square-faced man. “Thank you for this gentleman’s help. Lin Ruomeng, I didn’t ask the name of the benefactor.”

“Lin Daoshan’s daughter?” The man wiped his mouth with a napkin, stretched out his hand and shook it back, with great strength. “Much more prettier than your old man. Fortunately, Chen Shu of the 19th Army.”

“General Chen? Long Yang Da Ming. There seems to be something wrong with the situation outside. Would you like to check it out?”

“Really, dog, Japanese little Japan. Rice doesn’t make people having a good meal.” This General Chen is a man of true temperament. After taking a few bites of rice, he took the gun and walked out. “Goodbye. Miss Lin, take good care of your friend.”

Lin Ruomeng turned around and found Luo Fusheng lying prone on the table. Huang Xinghan has returned, frowning at him.

In order not to attract attention. Lin Ruomeng pretended to smile easily and picked up the unconscious Luo Fusheng. “Brother Huang, my friend drank too much. Could you help me with it.”

Huang Xinghan put up his hand and helped Luo Fusheng into his car.
