On Changshun Street, two Japanese cars were driving one after the other. A Pontiac was in front, followed by a large armed truck, and they were driving towards Rongwang Mansion.
There was a row of people standing densely on the truck, all in black suits, the fabric at the back waist was not very flat, and they should be wearing guns. Among the crowd, the huge object covered with red cloth was particularly conspicuous. From a distance, the object was extremely long, tall, wide, and thick, accounting for one-third of the entire carriage.
Which side's power is this, it's just birthday wishes, and it makes such a big show!
People on the street looked sideways and began to speculate that the treasure under the red cloth must be hard to find.
Xie Tao crossed the two cars head-on on his bicycle. Hearing people's admiration, he couldn't help cursing. Looking at the expressions on the faces of those people on the truck, they didn't look like they were celebrating a birthday, but rather they were going to a funeral.
The truck turned a corner at the street ahead and disappeared. Xie Tao rode all the way to the gate of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. After a long time, no one came out. After a while, the number of people on the street began to increase. Most of these people were going to celebrate birthdays , All kinds of cars covered with red silk drove in the direction of Prince Rong's Mansion.
Looking at his watch, it has been nearly an hour since the two Japanese cars he saw on Changshun Street went to celebrate his birthday. Although Xie Tao wondered why they set off so early in advance, he didn't understand think.
She put most of her attention on the entrance of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, and acted like she was waiting for someone in the alley, looking at her watch from time to time.
The door of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce finally opened. It was not Jin Xianrong, but Fujiwara Ichiro who came out. He looked around and drove away. Xie Tao snorted coldly, jumped on the bicycle, and followed the car.
Jin Xianrong did not show up at this time. There are only two possibilities. One is that she has already set off from another place, and the other is that she will not go and entrust Fujiwara Ichiro to celebrate her birthday. There is one path to choose from.
The street market was crowded with people, Fujiwara Ichiro's car was not driving fast, Xie Tao was able to keep up, but when the car turned around and drove to a villa area with beautiful scenery and smooth roads, Xie Tao couldn't do what he wanted.
There is a black Chevrolet in front of Fujiwara Ichiro's car, Xie Tao took a quick glance and recognized that it turned out to be Shen Junshan's car, Shen Junshan drove faster, driving far ahead, Fujiwara Ichiro kept falling behind and followed, although It didn't follow too closely, but the intention was already very obvious.
Could it be that he wanted to attack Shen Junshan? Jin Xianrong clearly treated Shen Junshan... No matter what, this time, it was time for her to do something, just like that day when Shen Junshan struggled to save her on the mountain.
Xie Tao was panting heavily, pedaling the bicycle fast, her legs were sore and painful, but she didn't care at all, there was a steep slope ahead, Xie Tao struggled to climb on the bicycle, and climbed to the top of the steep slope, this perspective, vaguely I saw the outline of a car roof, and after riding forward for a while, I saw Fujiwara Ichiro's car stop.
The Chevrolet was parked in front of Ichiro Fujiwara's car with a flat tire that seemed to have been punctured.
Shen Junshan got out of the car, picked up the nails on the ground and was watching carefully, his cold brows and eyes were stained with anxiety and anger, his thin lips were also tightly pursed, and he stood up as if realizing something soon.
Xie Tao saw Fujiwara Ichiro's arm stretched out of the window, the black gun in his hand was pointing at the person standing in front, and shouted: "Shen Junshan! Be careful!"
When the bullet was shot, Shen Junshan reacted quickly, rolled around on the spot and hid behind the car, leaving a row of bullet holes in the soil.
Xie Tao's forehead jumped suddenly, and he rushed forward suddenly, but because the speed of the car was too fast, he couldn't stop for a while.
Ichiro Fujiwara was furious, jumped out of the car and fired a shot. Xie Tao couldn't dodge in time, and fell to the side with his bicycle. Although the fall was not light, he dodged the bullet at least.
Fortunately, Fujiwara Ichiro's target was Shen Junshan, so he didn't entangle with Xie Tao much, he loaded the bullet and walked towards Shen Junshan.
By the side of the car, Shen Junshan's figure had disappeared, and Fujiwara Ichiro looked around. The figure suddenly emerged from the bottom of the car, moving swiftly and steadily, grabbed Fujiwara Ichiro's feet, and tripped him, the gun slipped out of his hand, and the two began to fight hand to hand.
Fujiwara Ichiro was very athletic, and his shots were fierce and ruthless. After a fight, he spotted Kongdang and punched Shen Junshan in the stomach. Shen Junshan suffered pain and took several steps back. Taking this opportunity, Fujiwara Ichiro picked up the gun The gun was aimed at Shen Junshan again.
Xie Tao had already rushed over, seeing this, instead of avoiding it, he rushed over and slammed into Fujiwara Ichiro's body with such force that even her chest stopped.
The pistol was thrown far away again.
Ignoring Fujiwara Ichiro who went to pick up the pistol, Xie Tao helped Shen Junshan up, and the two jumped into Fujiwara Ichiro's car. As soon as the car started, bullets hit from behind, and two or three bullets hit the rear window. Xie Tao was covered in cold sweat, and in the rearview mirror, Fujiwara Ichiro was getting farther and farther away from them with a murderous gun.
If I hadn't come here today... Xie Tao didn't dare to think about the next thing, she was relieved, she turned her face to look at Shen Junshan, his arm was red from the fight with Fujiwara Ichiro, blood ran along his arm It trickled down, staining his brown suit jacket red.
Sensing the worried eyes beside him, Shen Junshan shook his arms, as if he could see through Xie Tao's thoughts, he replied: "I'm fine, go to my house first."
"Um."
Xie Tao agreed with him knowing how to go home after being injured, changed to the driving seat, touched the steering wheel under his hand, stepped on the accelerator, and drove to the Shen family mansion.
The speed of the car was fast, and it soon arrived at the door of Shen's house.
After entering Shen's house, the gatekeeper reported to Shen Tingbai, not long after, Shen Tingbai led a group of people to send the pale Shen Junshan upstairs, and the servants surrounded the family doctor and hurriedly followed him went upstairs.
Shen Tingbai didn't go up, he already knew what happened and stayed in the living room to greet Xie Tao.
Because of this incident, his usual cold and serious expression brought a rare kindness, and he said gently: "Xie, classmate, today is thanks to you, if it weren't for you, Junshan would be in danger."
For his younger brother, Shen Tingbai attaches great importance to it, so he speaks very politely to Xie Tao, kindly like Xie Tao's elder, if it is seen by outsiders, there must be a lot of discussion about who Xie Tao is.
Xie Tao was a little cautious in front of Shen Tingbai, "Boss Shen, you are being polite. Junshan and I are classmates and friends, so we should help."
Shen Tingbai smiled and nodded, "You are the same as Junshan, just call me big brother. If there is anything you can say, it's okay. If I can help, I will spare no effort." Shen Tingbai said, thank you Xiang poured a full cup of tea.
This cup of tea is of great significance, with the meaning of reciprocating, Xie Tao is not stupid, how could he not hear it. She also knew that it was purely a coincidence that she saved Shen Junshan, if she hadn't gone to investigate Jin Xianrong, she would not have found out about Fujiwara Ichiro and his plot.
However, fortunately, she went to investigate Jin Xianrong herself. What she knew about Jin Xianrong but what others didn't know was that Jin Xianrong deliberately hid the fact that she was the president of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce because of her petty thoughts about Shen Junshan. She had a premonition that sooner or later she and Jin Xianrong would face to face and fight each other, and the one who survived would be the winner of this fight.
As for Shen Junshan, perhaps his friendship with Jin Xianrong was enough to cloud his always clear judgment.
"Okay, Shen, Brother Shen." Xie Tao still felt a little awkward when he called out.
Shen Tingbai took a sip of tea and asked, "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, why are you there?"
It's not a question, but a simple question. At least his attitude and tone will not embarrass both parties.
Xie Tao was dumbfounded. This matter was about the ins and outs, and it had to start with Jin Yin, but Guo Shuting kept her secret about Jin Yin, and she faltered: "I, uh... I..."
Shen Tingbai didn't think it was disobedient, and smiled gently, even needing to explain: "Don't worry too much, I didn't doubt your meaning, I was just curious, if it is inconvenient for you to answer, you don't have to say it."
Xie Tao remembered the matter of Prince Rong's Mansion in his heart, and remembered that Brother Wei's bones were not cold, and Ling Dang was lonely in the orphanage, so he couldn't care so much at this time: "Actually, there is nothing inconvenient, but I am investigating a matter, so I was following the Japanese, and I didn't know in advance that he was going to harm Junshan. I thought... Brother Shen, can you let me go to Rongwangfu for Shen Junshan to give a birthday gift. "
"Prince Rong's Mansion?" Shen Ting was puzzled, as if thinking of something.
He finally nodded, since Xie Tao would save Shen Junshan, he would not harm the Shen family, and even if he didn't bring it up, he would send someone to deliver it later.
Shen Tingbai was very thoughtful, but within two minutes, the gifts and the car were all ready. He told Xie Tao: "No matter what you are looking for, the other party is not a simple person, you have to be more careful."
Xie Tao thanked him for his help, so he agreed, said goodbye to Shen Tingbai and drove away. This time she did not take the side road, but chose to cross the bustling street. Although the car drove slowly, it was very safe No matter how presumptuous the Japanese are, they dare not openly shoot on the street.
Glancing at the watch on his wrist, there should be still time. There are many guests in Rong Wang's Mansion, and it takes a full hour to pray for his birthday. At this time, the banquet should not have started yet.
The car stopped at the gate of the palace, and immediately a doorman ran over to help park the car. Xie Tao handed the invitation and birthday gifts to the doorman, clapped his hands, walked in with his hands behind his back, and hid in the crowd.
She watched the guests who came to visit with cold eyes. These people seemed to be smiling, but who knew how much hypocrisy and hypocrisy there were.
The firecrackers sounded suddenly in front of the gate, and then another fireworks rose into the sky. The crackling sound of firecrackers was full of joy, and the crowd became lively. In the air, the festive atmosphere of Prince Rong's Mansion enveloped everyone, people's laughter was magnified, people were greeting each other everywhere, and the centuries-old mansion was full of fragrant clothes and shadows, full of splendor and wealth.
Seeing that the banquet was about to start, Xie Tao glanced around, but did not see Jin Xianrong's figure. She hesitated for a while, wondering if her judgment was wrong.
Disorderly and heavy footsteps sounded, and a group of people in black suits poured into the courtyard. Among the many black figures, the single white was particularly conspicuous.
The spacious courtyard suddenly became crowded. Eight people carried huge objects into the door, and violently pushed and shoved the rest of the guests. There was a deafening sound on the ground, and the guests present were all frightened by the situation. Those who sat on the chairs leaned back one after another, and those who were standing stepped back further.
"Finally here..." Xie Tao muttered to himself.
She squinted her eyes and recognized that these were the group of Japanese people she saw on Changshun Street this morning. Judging by their posture, the visitors were not friendly.
The people carrying things retreated one after another, revealing the graceful figure behind them.
"Da Fujin, I'm here to celebrate your birthday."
Jin Xianrong gathered up the slightly curly hair of the past, neatly coiled it behind her head, and there was a white silk flower slantedly inserted on her temples. Looking at her body again, she was wearing a coarse white mourning dress. Also a pair of white embroidered shoes.
This attire has nothing to do with birthday celebrations at all, it really is for the funeral!
"Where is the wild girl! Come here to play wild!"
The man next to Lord Rong stood up. The man's skin was dark and his cheeks were abnormally dark red. Only the strong wind from the northwest could blow his face out of this color. He is tall and burly, with a sloppy face, standing still can probably scare a group of children into tears. This man came all the way from the northwest, and he seems to be quite favored by the prince. Apart from the famous Pei Shun, there is no one else. up.
He is a slave raised by Prince Rong's family. Because of his courage, he was sent to the army by the prince and supported him all the way. Now he is also the commander of an army. Pei Shun cares about his friendship and never forgets his old master. Anyone who knows him well knows him.
Pei Shun waved his big hand, and it landed viciously on Jin Xianrong's shoulder. This man is by no means a gentleman, he can not only beat women, but also kill women!
But Jin Xianrong is not an ordinary woman.
She took out her pistol, and a bullet hit Pei Shun's feet. The surrounding guests exclaimed. Pei Shun's face changed slightly, but he didn't move. The guards of the palace surrounded Jin Xianrong and his men.
Facing this battle, Jin Xianrong showed no fear at all, she looked indifferent, spoke arrogantly, slowly stretched out her hand, and touched the red cloth covering the object with her white and tender fingers.
"I've said it all, I'm here to celebrate my birthday, here, I've brought all the birthday presents."
