According to the original plan, Warlord Lu Zongting will return to Shanghai in a week.
Since receiving the news from Ye Chu, Lu Zongting has discussed with Lu Huai to move the tiger away from the mountain, and seized the opportunity to catch the group of ambushers.
In this meticulous plan, those captured were prepared with poison and killed themselves after the mission failed.
Lu Zongting and Lu Huai already had calculations in their hearts. They had long known who was behind the group.
This action now is just to give that person a wake-up call.
…
In the past few days, Ye Chu has been paying attention to the progress of that matter. She knows that Lu Huai's ability, under his plan, will never make mistakes.
On the weekend, Ye Chu flipped through the "Shenzhen" at home, and there was a striking piece of news on it.
"Monarch Lu encountered an ambush on the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway and was not injured. All the gangsters have been arrested."
This report is very specific in order to deter those who want to continue to do it. Don't talk about those who want to take action against Governor Lu, even those on the beach are extremely restless.
After reading today's declaration, Ye Chu was in a particularly good mood. She put away the newspaper, changed her clothes and went out.
Today, Ye Chu and Ding Yuexuan have made an appointment to accompany her to order a new cheongsam.
Because Ding Yuexuan is now the showgirl of Metropolis, and the showgirl of Metropolis is treated well, Ding Yuexuan got an advance.
Ding Yuexuan moved out of the previous place and changed to a more elegant apartment, but she still saved a lot.
The money is used to prepare for the performance, and the teacher who specializes in teaching manners in Metropolis has taught Ding Yuexuan several lessons.
Although Ding Yuexuan was born with good voice conditions and grew up in a home where she was a singer, she still needs to sculpt some of her performance skills.
During this time, Ding Yuexuan practiced her voice at home every day in accordance with the teacher's professor.
It is not uncommon for Metropolis to have a new singer, but Ding Yuexuan does not need to perform as often as others do.
In order to get a hit on the day of the first performance.
Ye Chu and Ding Yuexuan met on Smith Road. There is a well-known ready-to-wear shop on that road. Ding Yuexuan will make a new cheongsam, which will be worn at the premiere.
After the two met, they walked to the clothing store hand in hand.
There were two men walking in front. They were wearing long gowns and jackets and wide-brimmed hats, and they spoke loudly.
"Have you heard? There seems to be a new showgirl in Metropolis."
Their voice came over, and Ye Chu and Ding Yuexuan looked at each other.
"Is she pretty? Does she sing well? I haven't been to the dance hall these few days. Tell me about it."
"I've been to the metropolis several times, but I didn't see her. It is said that even the young man from the staff officer's house went there, and I didn't see her."
"Doesn't this showgirl come out to perform?"
"This time it's mysterious, I heard that she will only be seen during the first performance."
"What's her name?"
"Evening fragrance."
"..."
Ye Lai Xiang is the stage name of the new singer in Metropolis.
No one knows the appearance and origin of Ye Laixiang, the Metropolitan Song and Dance Hall has kept it secret, and no one dared to leak the least bit of information.
The Metropolis only released some news, and the voice of Ye Lai Xiang was very beautiful, like a natural sound. However, if you want to listen to Ye Laixiang singing, you can only come and watch it on the day of her debut.
This news caused a big disturbance in the song and dance hall of Shanghai Beach.
Some people think that the Metropolis has specially excavated a newcomer who sings very well, just to grab the limelight of Xianle Palace.
You see, a few days ago, didn't Xianle Palace just dig out the most famous songgirl butterfly in the metropolis? Metropolitan must find a place back, so it came up with this method.
And some people think that this is just a gimmick made by the Metropolis.
The showgirl may sing like a normal song, and it is more difficult to become popular, so Metropolis will use this method to let everyone remember the name Ye Laixiang first.
Although no one knows which news is true, or whether Ye Lai Xiang sang good or bad, they still thought of going to the Metropolitan Dancing Hall on the day of the first performance to take a look at the Ye Lai Xiang.
Ye Chu knows Ding Yuexuan's temperament, she is very indifferent, just thinking about singing, never like to fight with others. Ye Chu believes that although the metropolis is fair, the people below are not necessarily good.
For example, the previous singer Aqiong, Ding Yuexuan was provoked by her only after an interview. In Shanghai, there are countless people who have such a competitive heart and hold highs and lows.
Ye Chu told Ding Yuexuan: "You sing well, if it becomes popular, you will surely cause some trouble."
Ding Yuexuan nodded. She naturally understands the truth. She wants to sing in Shanghai, staying in such a place where she is so drunk, and she must be careful at all times.
Ye Chu: "In the future, there will be a lot of people like Aqiong, and you have to work with them again. Since you have reason, you must not lose in momentum."
Ding Yuexuan: "Okay."
Ye Chu told Ding Yuexuan some things to pay attention to.
Although Ding Yuexuan didn't say anything on her lips, she silently remembered it in her heart. She knew that A Chu's words could never be wrong.
While chatting, Ye Chu and Ding Yuexuan entered the clothing store, with many different fabrics hanging inside. A customer was already measuring, and the owner was busy, so they looked at it for themselves.
Ye Chu seemed to see that what she chose for Ding Yuexuan was a piece of mulberry silk fabric. White is the base, with light red printing on the top.
Ye Chu looked at Ding Yuexuan, her eyes were clear, her temperament was quiet, she was indeed like a lilac blooming at night, not fighting or grabbing, but she had her own light.
The more Ye Chu looked at this piece of fabric, the more he felt it was suitable for Ding Yuexuan. Ding Yuexuan is a girl with dreams. She likes to sing and has a simple temperament.
Those singers in Shanghai like to wear gorgeous cheongsam, which looks eye-catching. But for Ding Yuexuan, she can't wear gorgeous cheongsam, it will conceal her original temperament.
Ding Yuexuan is a piece of uncut jade, after being carved, it will be more exquisite and beautiful, so that the somewhat plain but not overly gorgeous cheongsam fits her.
Ye Chu picked up the piece of cloth and said, "I think this piece of material is suitable for you."
Ding Yuexuan listened quietly, and Ye Chu continued: "The song of Ye Lai Xiang is relatively quiet. If you use bright colors, it's not good."
Ye Chu said this, Ding Yuexuan also became more and more agreeable. The material of this fabric is good, and the color is also beautiful, which really fits the feeling of the song of Euphorbiae.
Therefore, the two of them immediately decided to use this piece of fabric to make cheongsam. At this time, the previous customer had already left, and the boss walked towards them.
After measuring the size, the boss talked about the time to make the cheongsam and asked Ding Yuexuan to come and pick it up at that time.
They soon left the clothing store.
Ding Yuexuan had to go back to practice her voice, and Ye Chu was also going home. The two had their own things to do, and they soon separated and made an appointment to meet again at the next premiere.
Ye Chu knows very well that Ding Yuexuan has a good image and a moving voice, and he has set a cheongsam that suits her perfectly... Everything has been fully prepared.
In that premiere, she will surely surprise the audience.
Ye Chu met someone while waiting for the tram.
"Little girl, it's you."
The voice was so familiar, Ye Chu turned his head and saw that Lu Shixian was standing there smiling and looking at her.
Ye Chu smiled at him: "Grandpa, hello."
Lu Shixian admired this little girl's temperament, and this grandpa made him happier.
Lu Shixian asked, "What is your name? I haven't asked you last time."
Ye Chu answered seriously: "Ye Chu."
Lu Shixian: "If you don't mind, I'll call you Achu, alright?"
Ye Chu smiled and nodded: "Okay."
In the last life, when she lived in the Warlord's Mansion, Lu Shixian called him this way.
Ye Chu remembered that Governor Lu had successfully escaped from the assassination. This incident was just published in the report. She wanted to see Lu Shixian's views.
When passing the newsstand, Ye Chu bought a newspaper specially.
Ye Chu pretended to inadvertently said: "The assassination of Governor Lu is really difficult and dangerous. I don't know how he is now."
Lu Shixian's expression was very calm: "Young people should be beaten a few more times before they know the dignity of life."
When Lu Shixian spoke, he followed the rules. What he meant was that when he was in a high position, who had not experienced several assassinations.
When Lu Shixian was an official in Peking in his early years, of course he also experienced many dangers. Later, he retired and settled in Shanghai quietly.
Not many people have seen him in Shanghai, and his life is easy.
Ye Chu: "Grandpa, you know so much." She knew that he was an old man who liked to listen to praise.
"Not much, not much, just to live a little longer." Lu Shixian smiled, "Little girl, we fell in love like this, can I introduce you to someone?"
Ye Chu: "Huh?"
Lu Shixian: "That's it, I have a grandson..."
Lu Shixian felt that Ye Chu was particularly interested in him. If he could meet Lu Huai, he might have looked at each other.
Ye Chu immediately understood what Lu Shixian meant, and she naturally wouldn't make him wish.
She interrupted him hurriedly: "I'm still studying."
Lu Shixian stopped and changed the subject: "Well, how old are you now?"
Ye Chu: "Sixteen."
Although Lu Shixian did not continue to speak, he began to think in his heart.
This is a good age, and he goes very well with his grandson.
It would be great if there is a chance for them to meet.
…
The assassination of Governor Lu has been resolved smoothly, and Lu Huai has not been as nervous as before in the past few days.
He was as busy as before, but now he stopped remembering something.
These days, Qiao Liu didn't take any action. I don't know if it was because the people who found Lu Huai were following Ye Chu, or because he had no doubts about Ye Chu.
However, Lu Huai didn't want to take back the group of people who protected Ye Chu. Of course he had his own plans.
Since realizing that now, many of Ye Chu's behaviors have been different from those of others. She made him unable to guess, and Lu Huai always felt that Ye Chu seemed to cause some trouble.
If she is in danger, can she escape safely
Lu Huai didn't want to think about this issue.
Because the answer he gave was that he would not let her encounter any danger.
Today, the people Lu Huai sent to protect Ye Chu reported as usual, and briefly recounted Ye Chu's itinerary over the past few days.
"Yesterday, Miss Ye Chu was confessed by a man at the tea house."
"Ms. Ye Chu didn't suffer, and she prevented the man from getting off the stage. Finally, Jiuye asked someone to arrest him and went to the patrol room."
Lu Huai raised his eyebrows, this was indeed something Shen Jiuhui had done.
"Today, Miss Ye Chu went to the clothing store with the same person."
"That girl is a singer from Metropolis, and she seems to have a good relationship with Girl Ye Chu."
"..."
Shen Jiu told Lu Huai about this matter before, and he was not surprised.
Since his subordinates followed Ye Chu, he knew for the first time that the Third Young Master listened carefully to these trivial matters when he was not working.
And these simple little things have something to do with Miss Ye Er.
Subordinates: "They stayed in the clothing store for an hour, and then Miss Ye Chu met on the street..."
He continued: "Your grandfather."
Lu Huai frowned: "Really?"
Subordinates: "Yes, he seems to like Miss Ye Chu very much and has spoken to her for a long time."
But Lu Huai didn't hear this in his ears. He said, "This is not what I asked."
On this day, Ye Chu and his friends stayed in the clothing store for only an hour, but last time they stayed alone in the department store for a long time.
Lu Huai was a little suspicious.
Somehow, Lu Huai asked the man about the time Ye Chu stayed in the department store that day.
The subordinates recalled carefully: "That day, Miss Ye Chu left Ye Mansion at one o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already half past one by the time she arrived at Yong'an Department Store."
Lu Huai said lightly: "Go on."
Subordinate: "We waited outside for a long time. When Miss Ye Chu came out again, it was 3:30 in the afternoon."
Lu Huai listened silently: "Well, I know."
Soon, Lu Huai added: "Watch Qiao Liu and let him stay away from her."
"Yes, the third master."
When his subordinates left, Lu Huai was sitting in the study. His headache was getting a little serious in recent days. He stretched out his hand and pressed his eyebrows.
That day happened to be Saturday, and Lu Huai stayed in the Peace Hotel. At around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, he got the note sent by the kind man.
The housekeeper made a cup of coffee for Lu Huai and used the can of coffee beans sent by Ye Chu.
Early winter has arrived, and the weather is getting colder. The coffee cup rested on the table with white smoke rising from it.
…
Lu Huai was thinking about it, suddenly a strange idea came to his mind.
How long does it take to go back and forth from Peace Hotel to Yongan Department Store
If during this period of time, do some tricks, such as fainting an individual, stuffing a piece of paper...
Two hours is almost the same.
That face appeared in front of Lu Huai's eyes again. He didn't know why he would associate the anonymous person with Ye Chu.
Lu Huai remembered clearly that he ran into Ye Chu in the Xincheng Hotel that time, and she was using the key to open his room.
But after sending Ye Chu back to his room that night, he received a call from the kind person not long after.
If Ye Chu didn't really go to the wrong room that night, but was hiding some of her behavior.
She didn't succeed in sending the note into his room, so she called. It is indeed reasonable to think about it this way.
However, these two coincidences alone certainly cannot prove that Ye Chu is the kind person. There are not enough clues, and the explanation is slightly far-fetched.
What's more, Ye Chu is a female student. There are wealthy businessmen and high-ranking officials in her family, but there are no gangsters.
How did she know the room number of the Xincheng Hotel and the Heping Hotel
But Lu Huai knew that Ye Chu must have her own secret.
Lu Huai lowered his head and took a sip of black coffee, his gaze quietly fell on the note on the table. The three characters above have the same stroke trend as him.
He suddenly smiled.
No matter what secrets she has, he is not at all impatient.
That little liar will show his own fox tail.
Then he was caught.
The author has something to say:
This article will not be abused, because it is a spoiled pet.
There is also the hero of the original book, Lu Huai and Ye Chu did not unite, Ye Jiarou did not grow up, his current status is not high enough, so he has not yet played. The previous chapters have buried a lot of foreshadowing. Let me tell you that his appearance will be very special.
