The thunder has stopped, and the rain outside the window is quietly underground. The study room of the Warlord's Mansion was extremely silent, only the shallow breathing of each other could be heard.
It seemed that no sound could be heard, and there was no one here to bother. They hugged for a long time.
As if it had never been so close before.
Lu Huai only felt that Ye Chu was cold in his arms, so he hugged her tightly. She always carried the faint fragrance on her body, which made him want to approach involuntarily.
He forgot the previous agreement between the two of them and indulged in vaguely.
I don't know how long it took, and Lu Huai's chaotic thoughts slowly calmed down. He noticed Ye Chu breathing quietly in his arms.
She neither struggled nor resisted his embrace.
Lu Huai said, "Ye Chu."
Lu Huai's voice sounded like a wake-up call, awakening Ye Chu. Her heart tightened, and she quickly remembered their previous appointment.
Ye Chu stepped back subconsciously, and his hands also happened to loosen at this moment.
She broke away from Lu Huai's embrace.
At this time, Ye Chu's mind became sober. Her heart was beating fiercely, and her face was a little flustered. These were reactions that shouldn't have appeared in front of Lu Huai.
Ye Chu tried to suppress the feeling that was rising in his heart, trying to make his expression more normal.
By the time Lu Huai raised his eyes to look at her, Ye Chu had already recovered his composure.
Lu Huai swept Ye Chu's face, her expression was clear and calm, but she avoided his sight without daring to look at him.
Lu Huai still seemed to be able to feel the strands of long hair passing between his fingers. He also tried to forget the feeling and continued to treat her as usual.
They put away their emotions, as if they had done nothing before.
Lu Huai: "Dong Hongchang's people did it."
Dong Hongchang and Lu Zongting both work for the government, but he has always looked at Shanghai. He had issued several assassination operations, but they were all resolved by Lu Zongting.
But this time there was no warning in the assassination. Although Lu Zongting was very prepared, he succeeded.
Dong Hongchang made full preparations just to cause riots in Shanghai.
And he had been eyeing Shanghai a long time ago, and he didn't know when he would do it.
In an instant, Lu Huai had made a decision. The Lu family has a house in Suzhou, which is relatively secret and no one knows. Life there is peaceful, and if you bring guards, you will be safer.
Lu Huai said to Ye Chu, "I will ask someone to take you to Suzhou."
Lu Huai clearly meant to keep Ye Chu away from harm. He wanted to face the danger alone.
Ye Chu was startled: "I want to stay in Shanghai."
Lu Huai refused: "You can't stay."
Shanghai has been targeted by many people, not to mention a place where the Warlord’s Mansion is so crisis-ridden.
Ye Chu's tone was real, and he couldn't say anything: "It's clearly written in the contract, Lu Huai, you can't interfere with my choice."
Lu Huai looked at Ye Chu, her eyes were clear and firm, as if she had made up her mind long ago.
She has always done things like this, and she won't change it once it's settled down, just like him.
Lu Huai couldn't help Ye Chu, and finally agreed.
…
Ye Chu suddenly woke up from the dream, she stared blankly, forgetting where she was.
Hearing the sound of the drizzle outside the window, she gradually recovered her calm, realizing that it was nothing more than the previous life.
She just had a dream, everything is over.
Ye Mansion still exists now, and Ye Chu is also the second young lady of the Ye family.
Ye Chu turned his head slowly and saw the number on the wall calendar, December 11.
She suddenly knew why she was upset these few days. In her previous life, in a week, Warlord Lu Zongting would be assassinated once. Although the operation ended in failure, Governor Lu was seriously injured.
Ye Chu remembered that at that time, the whole Shanghai was panicked. In order to avoid students from encountering unexpected danger, the school took a long vacation.
Lu Zongting walked through the ghost gate and finally survived. However, during this period, many restless people in Shanghai were ready to move and caused a lot of trouble.
These things that happened in the last life not only made the people nervous, but also kept Lu Huai busy for a long time.
Ye Chu must tell Lu Huai about this, not only to avoid the previous accidents, but also not to let him get involved in those disputes.
Ye Chu thought for a while, but then began to worry again.
Recently, Lu Huai learned that Qiao Liu had been to Xinli Middle School and he had been sending people to protect her. Those people are serious, as long as she leaves the Ye Mansion, they will follow.
If Ye Chu wants to convey this news to Lu Huai, he must hide his identity and go to him.
Ye Chu had a good relationship with Lu Huai now, and she couldn't just get rid of the group of people who followed as before. This would definitely arouse Lu Huai's suspicion.
Thinking about it this way, how to send this news becomes tricky.
Ye Chu never fell asleep again, and as time passed, the sky gradually brightened.
The air in the early morning was very cold, and Ye Chu became more sober.
Ye Chu simply used breakfast and stayed in the room. It's too early. If she goes out now and is followed by Lu Huai's people, the goal is too obvious that she can't get away.
Therefore, Ye Chu waited until one o'clock in the afternoon before leaving the Ye Mansion.
Ye Chu went to Yong'an Department Store alone, and when she got off the car, she knew that Lu Huai's people were already behind.
Ye Chu carried a bag in his hand and entered Yongan Department Store.
The attitude of those people towards her was always polite, and they would not specifically come forward to disturb her behavior. Now that she has entered the Yongan Department Store, they will wait outside.
They will only come in when suspicious characters appear.
Ye Chu already had a plan in her heart. She knew how to quietly bypass those ears and eyes and find their young marshal.
Ye Chu quickly bought two sets of clothes in the store, one was a men's suit and the other was a bloated coat.
The body shape cannot be changed, Ye Chu can only use clothes to disguise.
Ye Chu first put on a men's suit, tucked his long hair into his hat, and put on the glasses he had prepared. She crouched back, pretending to be a short man, and walked out of Yongan Department Store.
…
Lu Huai's people didn't realize that it was wrong, and Ye Chu immediately walked to the corner and stopped a rickshaw to leave after going around two roads.
Ye Chu gave a piece of ocean and lowered his voice: "Peace Hotel."
Seeing the money opened, the coachman was very happy. Of course he didn't notice that Ye Chu was wearing a little weird dress and ran on his own.
Ye Chu knew very well, now Lu Huai must be at the Peace Hotel.
As for the Peace Hotel, there is still a long history.
Many years ago, Shanghai had the three most famous gangs. The Qinghui, the Hongmen and the Brotherhood of Elders all stand in harmony with each other.
More than a decade ago, in the dispute between Hongmen and the Brotherhood, the vitality of the Brotherhood was greatly injured and it was almost destroyed. But Hongmen became the only gang that could contend with the Qinghui.
Many people stared at this wealthy place in Shanghai, taking the opportunity to make a lot of moves. In order to keep Shanghai on the beach, civil strife is absolutely inevitable.
Warlord Lu Zongting set up the Peace Hotel to contain it, which also relieved the government.
The Peace Hotel is intended to maintain peace on one side.
Now, Lu Zongting lives in the General Manager's Mansion in Nanjing, and the Peace Hotel has naturally fallen into the hands of the marshal Lu Huai.
In his previous life, when Ye Chu was by Lu Huai's side, he often followed him to many places. And on the second Saturday of every month, Lu Huai will be in the Peace Hotel.
The news this time is important, and time is of the essence, Ye Chu must go to send it personally.
What's more, the last call was completely imminent, and she didn't want to expose herself. That event will happen soon, and Ye Chu chose to call Lu Huai when he really couldn't do anything about it.
One call is fine, if it is two or three times... Ye Chu cannot guarantee that in every call, her voice can be pretended to be the best.
Lu Huai is so smart, what should he do if he hears that it is his own voice
Ye Chu can't take risks yet.
Thinking about it, the Peace Hotel has arrived. Ye Chu asked the coachman to stop at the intersection ahead, and she walked over by herself.
Ye Chu crouched slightly, pretending to be a short young man, with very unusual steps, and entered the Peace Hotel.
In the afternoon, in the Peace Hotel, there were noisy voices, and many people were talking everywhere. Some wear long robes, some wear mandarins, and some wear Chinese tunic suits, and there are also many suits.
Xu is getting mixed up a lot, everyone's voice is loud, even in the lobby of the Peace Hotel, they don't lower their voice when speaking.
"Cut, a member of the Brotherhood of Elders, what are you doing here at the Peace Hotel?"
"I'm here to find a reason, you Hong Sect, don't bully others."
"..."
After the disaster more than ten years ago, the Brotherhood Club is now just a small gang. Hongmen doesn't like the old brother's club, but from time to time he finds a little trouble.
However, those Hongmen rules disappeared in the Peace Hotel. Because at the Peace Hotel, what we pay attention to is fairness and justice.
Ye Chu ignored the disputes between the few people, she had important things to do, and time was running out.
There is a mixture of fish and dragons, mostly people on the road, so she is not worried that her dress will attract the attention of others.
There were also people coming and going on the stairs, Ye Chu's figure was hidden in the crowd, not eye-catching.
Ye Chu's steps were not hurried or slow, just like the most common ordinary person. If something happens, everyone will deal with it below, and the more you go upstairs, the fewer people will be.
Lu Huai's room is on the fifth floor. Generally speaking, no one will go up unless there is a major matter of life or death. For example, when Shen Jiu was chased and killed by Qiao Liu, he ran all the way to the Peace Hotel and was saved by Lu Huai.
Ye Chu knew that the stairs on the fifth floor were guarded.
She looked down at the time. It was two o'clock in the afternoon, and the guard was very tired when the shift was changing, and her vigilance would drop.
But after 2:10, the new guard will come over.
Ye Chu wanted to send the note to Lu Huai, and she only had less than ten minutes.
Ye Chu looked at it, and there was no one in that corridor now. The guard was wandering, proving that Lu Huai shouldn't be in the room, so his attitude was a little casual.
While the guard turned his head, Ye Chu walked towards him quickly. She pinpointed the position and slashed his neck with a palm, and the man fainted quickly.
Ye Chu gently dragged his body into the corridor and leaned against the wall. He was only temporarily in a coma, and soon he would wake up on his own.
She whispered: "I'm sorry."
For the life of your master, I have to wrong you a bit.
Ye Chu quickly stuffed the note into Lu Huai's room and started to leave.
In the Peace Hotel, the fifth floor was completely empty, and no one dared to open the door of this room. If he wanted to enter, he could only wait for Lu Huai himself to open the lock.
Ye Chu was relieved that the news in her hands would never be leaked.
By the time Ye Chu left the fifth floor, the man did not wake up, and the guard for the shift did not come.
Ye Chu walked down as fast as she could. She had to leave the Peace Hotel quickly to avoid encountering Lu Huai who didn't know when she would come.
She has been paying attention to the movement around her.
Unfortunately, Lu Huai was walking upstairs from downstairs. Next to him is Adjutant Zhou, and Adjutant Zhou is reporting something to him.
Ye Chu panicked and hurriedly flashed into the stairs and into the corridor. She trot away and entered a corner.
"San Shao, if it is from Hongmen..."
Adjutant Zhou's voice came, and they seemed to be approaching this corridor.
"The walls have ears." Lu Huai said lightly, and he told Adjutant Zhou not to talk about important things here.
Adjutant Zhou fell silent immediately.
The two of them walked slowly, their footsteps gradually fainted, and their voices disappeared.
Here, Ye Chu was very confused.
She had just stuffed a note in Lu Huai's room to remind him that Governor Lu was about to encounter an ambush.
If he was facing Luhuai in the Peace Hotel, he would be curious.
Not to mention, she also wore a men's suit.
Lu Huai was extremely smart, if he had seen what Ye Chu looked like now. No matter how much she explained, he would definitely be suspicious of her.
This was a dead end, and she couldn't go around. If Lu Huai walked over, she would never have the possibility to escape.
Although the sound of footsteps became quiet, Lu Huai's breath was gradually approaching.
No matter where he was, Ye Chu could detect his breathing.
She is extremely sensitive.
Ye Chu's heart tightened and closed his eyes.
The author has something to say: Little Theater
Lu Huai: Madam, are you playing hide-and-seek with me
This chapter contains a lot of information, so I'm afraid you might miss it, so I'll sort it out briefly.
1. In the previous life, the two had a contract when they were fake couples.
2. Both Dong Hongchang and Lu Dujun are loyal to the government, but he wants Shanghai.
3. Peace Hotel in order to maintain the existence of Shanghai Beach.
It has nothing to do with history.
