Volume 2: The Rise of Shanghai Chapter 7: Pacifying the Situation and Calming the People

  Xu Shaowen said to Hao Jiguang: "Hao Guanda, call the brothers in, I must arrest him today."

  "Wen Yuan, this is the concession area, don't be too arrogant. " Hao Jiguang heard Xu Shao Wen's words and was so angry that he couldn't help but laugh, "We have rules for doing things, what you're doing now is just breaking the rules."

  At this moment, several people walked out of the corridor in the box, led by a man in his fifties, wearing a suit and looking very serious. The old man stepped forward, took a look at the situation on site, and then fixed his eyes on Hao Zhaoguang. He smiled coldly and said: "Hao Guanda, how do you manage your subordinates, causing trouble in my place?"

  Hao Lieguang could hear the old man's tone, it was clear that he was on Yu Shao Yan's side. He smiled slightly and said: "Yan Wu Ye, we are just doing our job, Young Master Yu is going to attack the military police, we are just defending ourselves."

  Yan Wuya looked at Yu Shao Yan, then looked at Xu Shaowen's serious face and snorted. Just as he was about to erupt, a slightly surprised voice suddenly came from behind him: "Wen Yuan, my nephew?"

  Xu Shaowen was slightly stunned, and looked back at Yan Wuge's back. It turned out that among the people who came out with Yan Wuge, one of them was Li Wanqi, Li Zhenning's father. Apparently, it was Li Wanqi who had found Yan Wuge to discuss something in the private room earlier.

  "Uncle Li?" Xu Shaowen's face changed, and he moved his hand away from the gun holster.

  Yan Wuya was also shocked, he quickly walked to Li Wanqi's side and asked in a low voice: "Boss Li, do you know this person?"

  "Lao Yan, you almost caused trouble, do you know that?" Li Wanqi said in a low voice, scolding, "Do you know who this young man is? He's the nephew of Premier Xu Shichang. If anything happens to him here, you won't be able to make it up even with ten lives."

  Yan Wuya's face changed drastically, and he became flustered, hastily seeking help from Li Wanqi: "I don't know about this, Boss Li, you've got to help me out this time."

  Li Wanqi thought for a moment, didn't say anything, turned around and walked to Xu Shaowen's front, then shouted at all the onlookers: "What are you doing? Put down your guns!"

  Yan Wu Ye also shouted: "Quickly, damn it, put down your gun."

  The onlookers immediately put away their guns and retreated to one side. However, Yu Shao Yan did not know the timing, he shouted at Yan Wu Ye saying: "Yan Wu Ye, this is you not giving face to my Yu family, my father will not be happy when he finds out."

  Yan Wuya's face turned ugly, although he had to rely on Yu Mengqing, Yu Shao Yan's father, for business in recent years. However, just now, he and Li Wanqi had agreed on some other business contracts, so Yu Mengqing was not as important to him as before. Moreover, Yu Shao Yan had offended the central government this time, if he helped him now, it would be like pulling himself into the water.

  Yan Wu stood there, his eyebrows furrowed, ignoring Yu Shao Yan.

  Yu Shao Yan saw this and became even more furious. Now that he had gotten on stage, he couldn't get off, which was a great humiliation for a rich young master with a good reputation. He pointed at Yan Wu Ye and started scolding: "Good, you ungrateful old ghost! In these few years, my father has taken care of you in business, but now that you're successful, you've forgotten the person who dug the well?"

  "Yu Shao Yan, don't be so presumptuous!" Li Wan Qi suddenly shouted out loud, his face turned iron-green, and his eyes were filled with shock as he stared at Yu Shao Yan.

  Yu Shao Yan turned to look at Li Wan Qi, in Shanghai's few large households, the Li family still had some prestige, even if he was being unreasonable, he knew this. His attitude immediately changed a bit, forcing a smile, he said to Li Wan Qi: "Li Shi Bo, this matter was started by that soldier, I originally just wanted to make up for losing at the Majiang game, I didn't intentionally cause trouble."

  "Xiao Yan, if you still recognize me as your uncle, immediately apologize to this military officer and let the matter of the dancer drop. Li Wanqi's tone softened slightly when he saw Xiao Yan showing respect for him, but his expression remained unpleasant. He pointed at Xu Shao Wen and continued, "Do you know that this military officer is a noble guest in our manor and also a sworn brother to me? Not giving him face is the same as not giving our Li family face."

  Li Wanqi's words were very polite, but at the same time, they deliberately emphasized the relationship between the Li family and Xu Shao Wen. Not only did he get close to Xu Shao Wen in front of so many people, but also made Xu Shao Wen owe him a favor in front of everyone. In fact, if he really wanted to help Xu Shao Wen, all he needed to do was tell the people present that Xu Shao Wen was the nephew of Premier Xu Shi Chang, and this would have been enough to stun the whole room.

  Xu Shaowen was still grateful to Li Wanqi for defending himself in this way, although he also heard the depth of Li's words. In any case, although Xu and Xu Shichang were uncle and nephew, it was not clear how strong this relationship was. However, if they could use this relationship to exchange for other relationships, why not?

  Yu Shao Yan saw that his situation was hopeless, the people who originally supported him were now standing on the opposite side. Continuing to cling to power would be foolish and might even implicate the Yu family. He apologized to Xu Shao Wen with a gloomy face, then quickly retreated in a manner that resembled escape.

  Li Wanqi saw that things had ended, and with a calm demeanor walked to Xu Shao's front, patted his shoulder, and said in a deep tone: "Wenyuan, actually today you were a bit impulsive. You military police came here to solve problems, not make them worse. However, at least this one point can be seen, Wenyuan still has a strong sense of justice."

  "Uncle Li's words were that Shao Wen was indeed too impulsive, and thank you to Uncle Li for helping Shao Wen out of this situation." Xu Shao Wen listened seriously to Li Wan Qi's words, and indeed in the way he handled this matter, he himself had been a bit too agitated. If Li Wan Qi hadn't appeared, the one who would have ended up in an awkward position would probably have been himself.

  Li Wanqi gave up and smiled, saying: "Young people, there are still many things to learn, but you have plenty of time, so don't worry about it. Oh, by the way, tonight is Mid-Autumn Festival, come back early for dinner."

  Li Wanqi left Weston's mansion first.

  Yan Wuya immediately ordered someone to clean up the club and even smiled and invited Xu Shaojun and his party to have a drink in the club first. However, Xu Shaojun and Hao Jiguang still politely declined, after all, it was during working hours, and as Chinese soldiers standing in the French concession, it wasn't quite right no matter what.

  Xu Shaowen looked at the still trembling dancer, walked up and helped her up, sighed and said: "It's okay now, be more careful next time." After he finished speaking, he turned around to prepare to leave with Hao Jiguang and others.

  But just at this moment, the dancer suddenly stretched out her hand and grabbed Xu Shaowen's arm. Xu Shaowen turned around, but found that the dancer was holding her chest with one hand, and her torn clothes had fallen down, revealing her snow-white skin, even her jade-like breasts were faintly visible.

  The dancer was somewhat frightened, and hastily let go of Xu Shao Wen again, covering her own chest, with a face full of blush.

  "Miss, is there anything else?" Xu Shaowen asked the dancer with some confusion.

  "Thank you, General!" The dancing girl squeezed out a sentence from her small mouth in a very tiny voice.

  Xu Shaowen smiled slightly and said: "I know it's hard for you to make a living in this line of work, I hope you take good care of yourself from now on."
