Chapter 23: Overwhelmed?

Views:

In the quiet of the night, there was a sudden bang and a loud explosion in the distance, and then, the raging fire dyed half of the sky bloody. Both Xie Tao and Gu Yan got up from the bed and looked through the window. The fire was raging, and combined with the sound of the explosion, it was likely that someone did it intentionally.

Where will it be? Xie Tao couldn't figure it out, when the country was in crisis, people's minds changed, and all ghosts and snakes dared to step on it, even in his own country, there were still many moths that ate inside and outside.

As soon as I woke up in the morning, the overwhelming public opinion swept in. No matter which newspaper, there is only one content printed on the front page headline - "Is it a patriotic rich businessman who saved the country through industry, or a murderer who trafficked his compatriots?" ", there is a photo of Shen Tingbai printed at the bottom of the newspaper, but Young Master Pianpian is so stigmatized.

It turned out that the temporary hospital where the rescued laborers were housed was bombed last night, and all 43 laborers and six medical staff were killed. And Wu Bin, the leader of the human traffickers who was imprisoned in the prison, was also rescued, and died strangely in front of the Minduo newspaper, holding a letter of repentance written by himself in his hand, which clearly recorded Shen Tingbai's labor trafficking and All kinds of evidence of murder. Mr. Zhang Yuzhi, the editor-in-chief of Minduo Newspaper, personally wrote an article to accuse Shen Tingbai of his vile crimes, and every sentence was resounding.

Now, the prestige of the Shen family in Shunyuan is gone, and the patriotic industrialist Shen Tingbai has just become a murderer in people's mouth.

Since this matter started with the Minduo newspaper, it should end with the Minduo newspaper. If Zhang Yuzhi is willing to rectify Shen Tingbai's name in Shunyuan, with his status and status, the crisis of the Shunyuan Chamber of Commerce will be alleviated. Since Shen Tingbai wants to get this pawn, how can he not think of the real culprit behind the scenes

On the second day's front page, Shen Tingbai had an appointment with Zhang Yuzhi, the editor-in-chief of Minduo Newspaper, at a teahouse, and Zhang Yuzhi died at his home that night.

No one knows what the two of them said that day, but the outside world is speculating that Zhang Yuzhi must have refused to testify for Shen Tingbai before being silenced.

For a time, people in the city were panicked and rumors spread everywhere.

Even in this situation, there are still people who want to watch a good show. In front of the Shunyuan Chamber of Commerce, there was a huge crowd of people, including family members in sackcloth and filial piety, as well as journalists seeking news, and even the passers-by who watched the excitement stood scattered in a pile.

A young woman dressed in black came in gracefully. She had a slim figure and a noble temperament, and she was incompatible with passers-by, and immediately attracted all eyes.

The woman stood in front of the Chamber of Commerce and knelt down, kowtowing three times. All of a sudden, the reporters flocked to her. The woman stood up and wanted to leave, but she was surrounded and unable to move. The black lace-trimmed hat was drooping, covering most of her face. Reporters scrambled to interview, but the woman suddenly raised her head, her eyes were burning, and she spoke shockingly: "The murderer was not from the Shunyuan Chamber of Commerce, but from the Japanese. You have found the wrong person!"

The reporter suddenly became agitated, but the woman turned around and fled. In a hurry, a photo fell to the ground. The photo showed Wu Bin and the woman in black. Taken on May 6, 1910. The reporters who picked up the photos widened their eyes, only then did they realize that the woman was actually Wu Bin's confidante.

Then what she just said, how much is true, how much is false

Since ancient times, if something is seven percent true, it will be written as nine percent. If it is only three percent true, then it will be written as seven percent truth under people's thousands of imaginations. Compared with native patriotic businessmen, wolf ambition It is even more expected that the Japanese will be behind the scenes.

The wind in Shunyuan changed again, and reporters rushed to gather in front of the police station to ask the police to thoroughly investigate the Japanese chamber of commerce.

Xie Tao put down the newspaper in her hand and sighed, she naturally did not believe that Shen Tingbai would be a murderer who trafficked her compatriots, but she also did not believe that this woman was Wu Bin's lover, everything was too coincidental, and this world There aren't that many coincidences at all.

Everything is inevitable.

"Liangchen, it's time to train!"

The sound of yellow pine came from outside the door, Xie Tao looked at the time and rushed out of the door. Her physical fitness is lagging behind among the students, so she has to train extra every Saturday and Sunday, and Huang Song is always with her. This friendship moved Xie Tao very much.

When they arrived at the training ground, the two practiced hard. Occasionally, Huang Song would correct her posture for her, with a serious look, just like Lu Zhongxin again.

After practicing for three full hours, Xie Tao came back from the training ground with Huang Song.

"Xiao Song, I really want to thank you for practicing with me every time." Xie Tao knew that Huang Song's grades were excellent, so he didn't have to work so hard with her.

"It's okay, I'm idle anyway." Huang Song grinned, but couldn't help yawning, looking at Xie Tao and asking, "I'm going back to sleep for a while, how about you?"

"I take a shower and sleep for a while, I'm covered in sweat."

Li Wenzhong walked towards him, greeted the two with a smile, Xie Tao ignored him, went back to the dormitory and closed the door, ever since he saw him put Gu Qiqi in the pool last time, Xie Tao hated him very much, obviously He is a good-looking talent, but for some reason, his eyes are always full of darkness, making people who look at him feel uncomfortable.

Taking off the dirty clothes, Xie Tao gently applied the shampoo on the hair, and rubbed the palm of his hand gently on the hair, and soon layers of white foam formed. His fingers rested on the switch, and he pressed hard, and there was no Water flows out.

What are you doing, the water is cut off at this time

Standing dry is of course not an option, Xie Tao had to put on his clothes again, hesitated again and again, and knocked on Huang Song's door with a head of foam.

"Good day? What's wrong with you?"

Huang Song's eyes were sleepy, and he knew that he had been woken up at a glance, Xie Tao looked at him with some embarrassment.

"I was taking a shower, and the water suddenly stopped. Is it because my water pipe is broken or all the water is cut off?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go and have a look."

Huang Song turned and went back to the house, and soon came out again.

"I've also stopped the water here, you go to the public bathroom, there is no water all day long."

"Public bathroom?"

"Yeah, today is a holiday, and it's noon. There must be no one. No one will grab the shower with you. How nice it is."

Xie Zhen frowned, with a look of embarrassment on her face, she had never been to a public bathroom since she came to school, but the foam on her head fell little by little, coupled with the stinky sweat all over her body, if there was no water coming , wouldn't she have to endure it all night

What if the water doesn't come tomorrow

Gritting his teeth, Xie Zhen thanked Huang Song, went back to the dormitory to pack his things, and planned to try his luck.

Before going there, she told herself several times, if someone leaves immediately, it's nothing to stay here and sleep under the foam for a night, as long as no one finds out her secret, everything can be tolerated.

Although the public bathroom of Agni Military Academy is not as private as in the dormitory, it is still very confidential. The huge space is built with stone bricks into several compartments, and the front of each compartment is covered by short curtains.

Xie Tao went in and checked around, and found that there was no one there. He was secretly happy, and immediately locked the door of the bathroom, happily ran into the cubicle and began to take a bath.

The hot water slowly flowed down, fell to the ground and splashed water, the sound of heavy objects hitting the door lock was covered by the sound of water flow, Xie Tao didn't realize it, reached out to get the soap in the middle partition, but touched it for a long time touched. Looking up, Shen Junshan was standing next to him, holding his piece of soap in his hand.

The sound of water in the bathroom was rushing and the steam filled the air. Shen Junshan looked at Xie Tao through the layers of white mist, and then at the soap in his hand. He immediately reacted and handed it back to Xie Tao.

"Xie Liangchen? I'm sorry, I took it wrong."

Xie Tao stared at him blankly, not knowing what to do. If he ran out now, he would definitely see it. If he didn't go, he only needed to probe this way and he would find it.

Feeling so embarrassed and helpless, Shen Junshan suddenly said, "My elder brother didn't do the explosion."

"what?"

Shen Junshan's tone was a little anxious, Xie Tao hadn't reacted yet, and he heard him continue: "Didn't you read today's newspaper? It's fine if you didn't read it. Anyway, it's all speculation, but it's true that my elder brother didn't do it. , on this point, I hope you believe me."

"I, I believe in you." Xie Tao said holding his chest.

"We are friends no matter what. I don't want you to misunderstand me like others."

Through the misty water vapor, Xie Tao could clearly see the seriousness in Shen Junshan's eyes, it seemed that he really cared about this matter.

"I won't, I never thought about it that way at all." She quickly assured that if it was herself, she wouldn't want Shen Junshan to misunderstand, she could understand his mood.

"That's good." Shen Junshan smiled at Xie Tao as if he was relieved, and the smile froze on his face before he could spread it out.

The bathroom door was slammed open, and Gu Yan framed her way in. She stood very abruptly in the cubicle between the two of them, blocking Shen Junshan's gaze, and stared at him panting.

"What are you doing?" Shen Junshan narrowed his eyes to look at him, a little annoyed at being stared at, and Xie Tao became more nervous, but unfortunately he couldn't advance or retreat.

"It's, it's too hot, why don't you take a shower? No way?" Gu Yan framed these four words to the extreme with confidence.

Shen Junshan snorted, "Are you taking a bath with your clothes on?"

Gu Yan frame ignored how he looked at her, went straight to Shen Junshan's cubicle, pushed him aside, rinsed him under the faucet, and then stood back to his original position: "Yes, it's cool!"

This operation is really confusing, but Gu Yan has done so many strange things in the frame, it is not surprising that she is going crazy like this now. Shen Junshan didn't know why he glanced at him, then hurriedly rushed over, disgusted with his appearance, and left immediately.

When he left, Xie Tao and Gu Yan frame both breathed a sigh of relief.

"I'm leaving, hurry up and take a shower, the public bathroom is so dirty, why do you come here to take a shower?" Gu Yan framed her foot to leave, but she stepped on a soap bubble and slipped suddenly, falling on her back to the ground, behind the door curtain Xie Tao's fair legs were presented in front of him like this.

"Ah!" Xie Tao's heart beat violently, he kicked Gu Yan hard on the head, put on his clothes and ran out in a panic.
