"yes.

“Matchmaking is possible.

"It's a great pleasure for Xiaohui to like him.

"I don't like it. Work is work, and dating is out of the question."

Hong Zhiyou knew that it was popular to arrange everything in this era, so it was better to make some things clear.

“That’s a must.

"Don't worry, we value like-mindedness, and the same applies to relationships.

“You must have faith in San Min.”

Yu Zecheng quickly nodded in agreement.

“Okay, that’s settled, I’ll provide the necessary cover for you, but you’d better be careful Li Ya.

"I always feel like something is wrong with this guy lately."

Hong Zhiyou gave a reminder and asked the boss to serve two plates of mutton.

"I'll leave 10% of the gold my senior sister snatched back from Yan Dong to you, and give the rest to Lao Zhou to deposit in Sihai Bank." He stood up, took his coat, and prepared to leave.

"By the way, please keep an eye on Qian Tongzhi's Huiguang Bank.

"This guy has exchanged a lot of gold bars and antiques with US dollars this year. Once they are shipped away, it will be a huge loss to Jinhai."

Yu Zecheng shouted.

"Got it. Don't forget to bring some sauce for my senior sister."

Hong Zhi didn't look back and turned away.

Yu Zecheng quickly prepared the newly served meat, put it on a plate, sprinkled sauce on it and mixed it evenly, then put it on the plate and chased after him with a rice steamer.

back home.

Cuiping was washing clothes in the yard.

Yu Zecheng took a look and said, "Cui Ping, my clothes from the past two days are still piled up."

"You just stare at Zuo Lan's photo all day long and have no time to wash clothes. Do you have no hands or feet?

"She's already sacrificed, you'll just have to live your life holding onto her photo."

The washboard made a banging sound as Cuiping hit it with the mallet in her hand.

"I, I brought you some food." Yu Zecheng said hurriedly with a trembling mouth.

Cuiping rolled her eyes at him and said nothing.

Seeing Yu Zecheng walking in with his head shrugged, she couldn't help but smile secretly.

He didn't eat alone and even brought some with him. He seems to have some conscience.

Cuiping hung out the clothes to dry and returned to the house.

As soon as I opened the rice drawer, I saw three plates filled with hot lamb rolls and two sesame cakes. The aroma of lamb mixed with sauce was so tempting.

"There are so many. Mutton is very expensive now. Who treated us?" Cuiping asked with a tense expression.

"Xie Ruolin." Yu Zecheng said.

"That gangster who has connections with the party? He is so heroic." Cuiping took the chopsticks and sat down.

“He’s not a jerk.

“Strictly speaking, he is our friend just like Hong Zhiyou.

"Can I warm it up for you?"

He reached out to take the plate.

"No need, it's still warm. If you put so much in, Old Xie will be heartbroken. What else will they have to eat?" Cuiping laughed as she ate.

“They have money.

"You can also get these daily necessities, you can eat more." Yu Zecheng said.

"By the way, Zhiyou agreed to bring Sanmin and Xiaohui together."

After a pause, he looked at Cuiping and said.

"Very good.

"With Liao Sanmin's guidance, she can become a real warrior." Cuiping said happily.

"Ok.

"Eat quickly."

Yu Zecheng smiled, rolled up his sleeves, and went to the yard to wash clothes.

Cui Ping took a few bites, rushed out and pushed him away:
"I come."

"You don't want to wash, so let me do it myself." Yu Zecheng said.

"I'm willing to do it now. Three bowls of mutton is worth washing a few pieces of clothes." Cuiping started to grab it from him.

"Cui Ping, go eat first, I can do it myself..." Yu Zecheng really didn't want to force anyone.

Cuiping was angry. She used her arms to force Yu Zecheng to fall off the small stool. Before he could say anything, Cuiping yelled at him:
"You want to wash, don't you know to go inside?

“If you don’t know, you’d think I’m a lazy woman!
"I am so unlucky to have met a man like you!"

Yu Zecheng was stunned by the scolding.

“Yes, it’s my fault.

"I'll be more careful next time, calm down."

He stood up unreasonably and apologized in a low voice.

Then he leaned against the door and watched Cuiping working hard at pounding and scrubbing clothes.

Suddenly.

Suddenly, the depression and frustration that had been pent up in his heart for a long time were inexplicably washed away.

Zuo Lan was like a shooting star in the night sky, illuminating his way forward.

Cuiping is the ray of sunshine hanging high above our heads every day. Maybe it is not as bright and dazzling as a shooting star, but her warmth can be truly felt every day.

this is life.

One must accept the blows of life, warm up, cheer up, and devote oneself wholeheartedly to revolutionary work.

It starts from this moment.

Let’s start from this very second.

Forget the past, forget all the unhappiness, and give yourself a chance to start a new beginning.

Fortunately, everything is still in time.

Cuiping.

This woman who spreads warmth is still here.

She still has full enthusiasm for the future and maintains a high fighting spirit at all times.

She is sunshine.

It is also your own beacon!
Give him enough strength to break through the last trace of darkness before dawn.

Think of this.

He looked at Cuiping, the corners of his mouth curled up unconsciously and he laughed out loud.

“Are you sick?
"Yu Zecheng, let me tell you, I have tolerated you for a long time and never forced me to beat you!"

Cuiping threw the gavel into the basin and pointed at him angrily.

“Yes, yes.

"I'm sick, I should be beaten." Yu Zecheng laughed heartily.

Although he said this, he ran faster than a rabbit and went upstairs.

"You deserve a beating!"

Cuiping sat down cursing and continued to wash clothes.

……

Jinhai Airport.

Xie Ruolin jogged all the way and finally reached the plane.

As soon as you get on the plane.

He bowed and nodded to greet several important officials sent from the Northeast to attend the meeting.

Just about to sit down.

He saw Li Ya sitting in the back row.

The two looked at each other, and Li Ya's surprised, sinister and sharp eyes made Xie Ruolin's heart hang in the air.

Generally speaking, if you take a plane to Jingling, it must be for important business.

Even top secret.

I caught this flight at the wrong time.

"Captain Li, we have a long journey. Do you mind sitting down and chatting with me to pass the time?" Xie Ruolin took the initiative to step forward and asked.

"certainly.

"We are all old friends." Li Ya said.

The two of them chatted about each other.

Arrived at Jingling.

"Captain Li, when are you going back? We can keep you company then." Xie Ruolin said after getting off the plane.

"No.

"I have something else to do, maybe earlier or later.

"Old Xie, there are some things that shouldn't be said, don't say them.

"You know."

Li Ya patted his shoulder and quickly disappeared into the night.

"Threatening me?"

Xie Ruolin sneered and walked to the other side.

……

Hangzhou Station.

Inside Yayuan.

Mao Wanli personally poured tea for Li Ya and laughed loudly:
“Brother, we lost miserably during our last trip to Jinhai.

“You were poisoned.

"I was caught red-handed. If it weren't for Director Mao's protection, I would still be in Jingling Prison now."

"Alas, the past is too hard to recall." Li Ya sighed.

"Let me guess, why did you come to Hangzhou, do you want to join my brother's camp?" Mao Wanli said with a smile.

“Stationmaster Mao is worthy of this special training trip to North America.

"That's right.

“After the Three Youths were abolished, I became a wandering ghost. Fortunately, I have the Secret Service as my body, so I can change my job.

"I can only say that I am loyal to the commander."

There was still arrogance between Li Ya's eyebrows.

Deep down, he only respects Jianzhongfeng.

It's a pity that people look down on him.

Mao Renfeng, haha, is a villain. He is just pretending to be nice and trying to use someone else's force to his advantage.

"Loyalty requires capital," said Mao Wanli.

"certainly.

“I know you’ve always wanted to be the stationmaster of Jinhai Station and want to get your place back.

"I'm here to give you a gift this time."

Li Ya handed over the information and intelligence left by Lu Qiaoshan.

Mao Wanli took a quick look and was delighted:

"true?"

“It’s true, this is what Lu Qiaoshan left for me.

“You also know that he and I are mortal enemies, and he left this to me to help him fulfill his last wish.

"Once Yu Zecheng is caught, even the Lord cannot save Wu Jingzhong.

"Will Jinhai Station not be in your hands by then?"

Li Ya said coldly.

"What do you want?" Mao Wanli asked directly.

“I want to be deputy station chief.

"This way, I can investigate Yu Zecheng openly.

"Otherwise, Wu Jingzhong will always hinder me." Li Ya said.

"Wait."

Mao Wanli went straight to the inner room.

After a moment, he strode back and said with a smile:
"Director Mao has agreed to your request. You can go back and wait for good news."

"I heard that Jianfeng is coming to Shanghai?" Li Ya was not in a hurry to leave.

"Maybe.

"Shanghai is a place with too much water to handle. Not everyone can handle it.

"I have official business, so I won't accompany you."

Mao Wanli was not interested in chatting with him, so he got up and left.

"damn thing!

"Isn't it because you have a brother to protect you?"

Li Ya frowned and cursed inwardly.

……

The next day.

Xie Ruolin rushed back to Jinhai and came to the old alley where they met. "This is the information that Lao Yu wanted.

“Also, I met Li Ya on the plane.

"This guy looks like he wants to silence me. Who knows what important matter he has over there."

He took out the document from his briefcase and handed it to Hong Zhiyou.

"Do you want to go to Xiangdao to avoid the limelight?" Hong Zhiyou handed him five large yellow croakers and asked.

“No…I won’t go.

"I have to sell the house. In the next two days, I have to take advantage of Mrs. Sun's influence and go to the Military Families Association and the club to arrange a few more mahjong games to get the deal done." Xie Ruolin laughed dryly.

"Okay, I'll send you two good gunmen as bodyguards." Hong Zhi nodded.

"No need.

"I've left a note in the old house over there, 'The one who killed me is Li Ya.'

“Given Li Ya’s character, he must have seen it.

"After all, I am now Director Sun's man, a serious section-level cadre of the Party Communications Bureau. If he wants to do other things, there is no need to fight with me.

"Besides, didn't he almost kill me last time?"

“I, I’m not afraid of him.

"He knows he can't scare me."

Xie Ruolin, however, understood Li Ya.

"You're not afraid, but I am. I'm counting on you to help me boost my sales.

"Ok, deal."

Hong Zhiyou waved his hand and made the decision.

"Do bodyguards charge... any fees?" Xie Ruolin was very concerned about this.

"No charge." Hong Zhi nodded.

"Okay, then I'll do as you say." Xie Ruolin nodded happily and left with his briefcase.

……

Return to the station.

Wu Jingzhong was reading a newspaper. When he saw Hong Zhiyou, he put it down and sighed:
"Director Mao just called me and officially appointed Li Ya as deputy station chief.

“There are good reasons.

“Li Ya is a colonel, and the position of deputy station chief is vacant, so the establishment is incomplete.

"It's good now, no one is fighting for it, it's perfect.

"We'll have a meeting to announce it later."

"Teacher, I suspect Lu Qiaoshan left something for Li Ya, or called him. Li Ya's whereabouts have been strange since he was released from prison." Hong Zhiyou said.

"How weird is it?" Wu Jingzhong asked with a frown.

“He went to Jingling last night.

"Director Mao's arrangement came down today, which can only mean that he is very likely to have defected to Mao Renfeng.

“Even revealed some important things in exchange.

"Otherwise, with Mao Renfeng's mean face, he would never have promoted Li Ya, who used to work with Jianfeng, to be the deputy station chief."

Hong Zhiyou analyzed.

“What you said is very likely.

“Lu Qiaoshan is a veteran in the establishment of the website, and he has participated in many things such as Ma Kui. No one knows how much he has in his hands.

“If he really has something harmful to you and me and passes it to our mortal enemy Li Ya.

"I can only say that this guy is vicious enough that he wants to fight us again even before his death."

Wu Jingzhong said.

“Let’s analyze it.

"If he's coming for us.

“I have a division of munitions to deal with, and with the chairman here, he can’t touch me.

“The teacher’s belongings have been transferred to Xiangdao.

"Unless the people from the Security Bureau can break into the island and search, otherwise, Li Ya can only rely on his words. Without any evidence, he can't do anything to you just because he has met Mu Liancheng and drank tea with him twice.

"After all, you were on the Anti-Traitor Committee at the time, so it's reasonable for you to see Mu Liancheng understand the asset allocation during the Japanese occupation."

Hong Zhiyou said in an orderly manner.

“So, the gap can only be Yu Zecheng?

"He wants to investigate Yu Zecheng and then have Mao Renfeng make a fuss to bring me down?"

After this suggestion, Wu Jingzhong immediately saw through Li Ya's thoughts.

“I think this is the most likely possibility.

"As long as we find out that Yu Zecheng is a red ticket, you will have no way to defend yourself."

Hong Zhi nodded.

"What do you think?" Wu Jingzhong narrowed his eyes, revealing a strong murderous intent.

"Teacher, getting rid of Yu Zecheng is the worst option.

"Let alone the relationship we've had for so many years, if Yu Zecheng were to die, all our business with Hong Piao would be over.

"In some cases, protecting the remaining costs is an exchange of benefits.

“Besides, right now, the red ticket is taking the world by storm. Without Yu Zecheng, many things will be very troublesome in the future.

“You’ve been letting it go for so long.

"It would be uneconomical to give it up now."

Hong Zhi lobbied patiently.

"Ok.

"What you said makes sense. Cutting off an arm to survive is the worst option. Let's see what tricks he plays." Wu Jingzhong nodded.

“Yu Zecheng is not stupid. If there were direct evidence, Jianfeng and the headquarters would have had him brought to court-martial long ago.

"Obviously, Li Ya doesn't have direct evidence.

“It’s not easy to bring down Director Yu in a short period of time.

“Let’s deal with it as it happens.

"By the way, I will go to Shanghai in a couple of days to help Jianfeng.

"I want to apply to take someone away."

Hong Zhi has the Tao.

"Who to bring?" Wu Jingzhong asked with a frown.

"Mrs. Yu." Hong Zhiyou said.

"You have to ask Yu Zecheng and the others. I feel at ease if she goes with you." Wu Jingzhong said with a double meaning.

"I was thinking that Yu Zecheng's outdated evidence had been played up by Liu Xiong and Ma Kui long ago and no longer had much evidentiary power.

"Li Ya can only start with Cui Ping to force Lao Yu to show his true colors.

"I'll take Cuiping directly to Shanghai.

"Li Ya could only stare blankly."

Hong Zhiyou smiled.

“Yeah, that’s doable.

"You go and discuss it with Zecheng." Wu Jingzhong said.

"Ok."

Hong Zhiyou stood up and went straight to Yu Zecheng's office to express his thoughts.

After hearing this, Yu Zecheng fell silent.

If Cuiping leaves Jinhai rashly now, Li Ya will definitely stop her halfway.

Magui has done this kind of thing in the past.

Unlike Ma Kui, Li Ya's parents are both deceased and he has no wife or children. Such a carefree person has few weaknesses and it is difficult to counterattack him.

Following Hong Zhiyou is undoubtedly the safest choice.

"Okay, that's settled." Yu Zecheng thought it through and looked up.

"Don't you want to discuss this with my senior sister?" Hong Zhiyou asked.

"I will tell her when I get home in the evening, but she must leave. I can make the final decision." Yu Zecheng said.

"Okay." Hong Zhiyou said.

……

The next day.

With Jianfeng's approval and coordination, Hong Zhiyou and Cuiping officially embarked on the journey to Shanghai.

airport.

Yu Zecheng got out of the car and carried Cuiping's luggage.

"Cui Ping, Shanghai is not like Tianjin. It's a hodgepodge of good and bad people. It's also the lair of the chairman's cronies. Any brick you throw could hit a relative of the emperor.

"You should be more careful in everything, don't be impulsive, and listen to the wise."

Yu Zecheng gave instructions as they walked.

The mission itself was dangerous.

Jianfeng went to fight a tiger.

People don't dare to touch the prince, and they don't dare to kill Hong Zhiyou like a chicken. Cui Ping is naturally very dangerous as a bodyguard.

"knew.

"You are not in good health, remember to take your medicine on time.

“When drying clothes, you have to shake them out, otherwise they will easily wrinkle.

"The chickens at home lay a lot of eggs. Eggs are expensive now, and you have to feed them on time to feed them.

"..."

Cuiping looked at Yu Zecheng and kept nagging.

“If you two keep talking, the plane will be leaving.

"Don't say anything, just hug one."

Hong Zhiyou couldn't stand the two people's hesitation anymore and made a suggestion.

Yu Zecheng was stunned, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Cuiping took a small step forward, but when she saw that Yu Zecheng didn't react at all, she sighed in her heart and retracted her step.

"Take care, Lao Yu."

After saying that, she turned around, picked up her luggage, and boarded the plane without looking back.

Yu Zecheng waved his hand.

By the time I came to my senses, the plane had already glided away.

At that moment, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

It was different from the heart-wrenching feeling of hearing the bad news about Zuo Lan.

Yu Zecheng felt as if there was an inexplicable emptiness in his heart, and he felt very uncomfortable and not used to it.

Until the plane turned into a black dot.

He got into the car and drove away in a daze.

……

Go to Shanghai.

Inside a luxurious hotel.

Kong Lingkan, with a slicked-back hair and dressed in a suit, sat on the sofa at the top, crossing his legs and smoking a cigar.

As the eldest son of the Kong family, Kong Lingkan has always been the king among kings in Shanghai and often regards himself as the Tai Sui Ye.

On the 28th, he had a fight with his uncle Song Ziwen, and the fight was fierce.

Under this, Yang Company was also able to act in a domineering manner in Tianjin and Haikou, and had full control over rice, flour, grain and oil.

He has an endless supply of cards.

There is also endless money to be made.

Since the issuance of the Gold Yuan in mid-to-late August, the Nationalist army has suffered a series of defeats, which has completely disrupted the Chairman's plans to stabilize Shanghai and maintain currency stability.

There is no support from foreign exchange, war reports, or supplies.

Kong Lingkan took advantage of the opportunity to buy back gold and US dollars within a limited period of time and obtained a lot of gold by using gold yuan coupons which were like waste paper.

He also secretly used his merchant ships and Du Weiping and others to stockpile a large amount of supplies.

The profit can be ten times or even dozens of times with just one resale, making a huge fortune.

"Mr. Kong, I heard that Xuan Tiewu submitted his resignation to the chairman, and the chairman decided to send Jianfeng to preside over the management committee. This is aimed at us."

The young man next to him, who was wearing a suit and had a face like a shoe horn, said.

"Weiping, are you scared?" Kong Lingkan asked.

“Kind of.

“I heard that the follower was Hong Ji-you from Jinhae.

"My father has dealt with this guy before. He is very capable. I'm afraid that the combination of him and Jianfeng will be troublesome."

Du Weiping said.

"Why bother? Just kill him." Kong Lingkan said disdainfully.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple."

Du Weiping was very clear about it.

If Hong Zhi was so easy to kill, my father Du Yuesheng would have done it at the Green Gang headquarters last time. Why would he give up the one thousand taels of gold and become friends with Hong Zhi?

If Ling Kan continues to be so unscrupulous, he will probably suffer a great loss.
