The First Volume: Empty Spirit Chapter 23 Not My Woman

  The Shanghai Municipal Government, an official inside, the son of an official. This identity is just enough to cheat small citizens and small business owners. There are hundreds of officials in the Shanghai Municipal Government, but people with a bit of brains all know that in Shanghai, the mayor is just a person who handles small matters, and major events are decided by the Songhu Garrison Command. But even if the other party was from the Songhu Garrison Command, Wang Yaoyu didn't care.

  Wang Yaowu carried with him his usual Browning pistol, which was the safest among all pistols. However, its power was not great, and if he wanted to kill someone, Wang Yaowu would switch to a ten-shot revolver.

  In the past, in feudal society, men and women were not allowed to meet each other. Before marriage, husbands and wives did not know what each other looked like, everything was arranged by matchmakers. Later on, just believing in matchmakers wasn't enough, parents didn't want their sons to marry an ugly woman or their daughters to marry an ugly man. So it was decided that fathers or mothers would go see what the other person looked like and make the decision themselves. Now the situation has changed again, men and women can meet directly, and the Western theory of free love is also being promoted non-stop. Some wealthy families have slowly accepted a new way, which is for parents to observe and confirm first, then use some Western-style reasons to arrange for the couple to meet.

  Party, gathering, wine party, dance party. These are all good reasons, just like the gathering being held at the Shangguan residence now. The Shangguan residence is quite lively now, and people with some connection to the Shangguan family who have a certain status in Shanghai have all come.

  Wang Yaozu didn't ask to be let in, nor did he take out his own business card. He simply walked directly to the front door of the Shangguan residence. The butler at the entrance, who was welcoming guests, was taken aback and hadn't expected Wang Yaozu to appear. This situation was quite awkward, and even when Wang Yaozu stood in front of him, he didn't know how to start a conversation.

  "It's so lively today, I won't be a bother if I just drop by, will I? If not, then I'll go in." Wang Ya Zu muttered to himself as he was about to walk in. The butler obviously panicked and quickly stretched out his right arm to block him.

  "Mr. Wang, I'm very sorry. Today is a private gathering. Mr. Wang, please come again tomorrow. I'm really very sorry." The butler was somewhat afraid, his voice was steady, but his legs were trembling. What kind of person was Wang Ya Zu? The butler had personally gone to investigate, and the butler was afraid.

  Wang Yaoyu was getting angry, and he had already entered a state of combat readiness at the entrance of the Wang family's house. Anyone who blocked his way would be regarded as an enemy. Wang Yaoyu leaned in close, pressing against the butler.

  "Who I am, you should know, Housekeeper. In this Shanghai, there are really not many people that I, Wang Yaizu, can't afford to offend. Now don't provoke me, everything I do is for the good of your young mistress."

  Wang Yaoyu's murderous aura was very obvious, and the butler of the Shangguan family was just an ordinary butler. The Shangguan family couldn't even afford to hire a capable butler like that. Wang Yaoyu had also investigated the history of the Shangguan family, who were originally small landowners from the outskirts of Shanghai and started doing business during the Beiyang government's rule.

  The butler could not stop Wang Yaowu, and had to let him in. At the same time, the butler hastily ordered his servant to inform Officer Hui's parents of the situation. The unwelcome guest, Wang Yaowu, had already entered.

  To hold a party like this, it's impossible to rely solely on the butler of the Wang family. In Shanghai, there are companies that specialize in organizing parties and banquets for foreigners. As soon as Wang Ya-zu entered the main hall, a waiter dressed in formal attire came over with a tray of drinks and asked Wang Ya-zu to choose a glass of wine.

  Of course, the wine at this gathering was all imported champagne and whiskey. Wang Ya-zu chose a glass of whiskey and began to look for Shangguan Hui's figure in the crowd. In such a gathering, looking around, it was either a suit or a western-style dress, only Wang Ya-zu's Zhongshan suit was somewhat out of place.

  After scanning the surroundings, Wang Yaozu did not find Ouyang Hui's location, but fortunately, he already had a target. A large group of young people, both men and women, were gathered together, guessing that Ouyang Hui was surrounded in the middle. Because on this evening, Ouyang Hui and another rich boy were the protagonists.

  Among the group of young people, there were four bodyguards. As soon as Wang Yaowu approached, he was immediately blocked by two of them. The reason was not only that Wang Yaowu's clothes were a bit out of place, but also the murderous aura he emitted at this time.

  "If you're from the Green Gang, then step aside, I'm familiar with Eighth Master! Also a friend of Miss Huang Hui." In Shanghai, if you want to hire bodyguards, the best ones are naturally those from the Green Gang. They can kill people and also protect them. Moreover, they have direct connections with the Green Gang.

  As soon as they heard the word "Ba Ye", the two bodyguards immediately retreated. In Shanghai, not many people know about "Ba Ye". Those who do are mostly aware of some inside information and no one dares to pretend to have a relationship with the Green Gang or impersonate a member of the Green Gang, for those who do will end up being stuffed into a sack and thrown into the Huangpu River.

  The two most powerful bodyguards retreated, let alone the other two ordinary bodyguards. Wang Yaowu squeezed directly into the crowd like this. Wang Yaowu's strength was not small, how could the young masters and ladies who blocked his way compare to him?

  Facing the sudden appearance of Wang Ya Zu, these young masters and misses were somewhat unhappy, but upon seeing that it was Wang Ya Zu, Shangguan Hui who was surrounded in the middle finally smiled, opening her mouth to say: "Ya Zu Ge, you've come!"

  Looking at Shangguan Hui's happy appearance, Wang Yaoyu didn't care who was around him anymore and walked directly to Shangguan Hui's side, stroking Shangguan Hui's head, saying: "I'm a bit busy today, that's why I came late. But since you have trouble, why didn't you say it earlier? You're really not obedient."

  Looking at the intimate appearance of Wang Yaoyu and Shangguan Hui, someone immediately became unhappy. It was that leading young master, actually Wang Yaoyu this person, only Shangguan Hui's closest female companion knew, while Shangguan Hui's other classmates were completely unclear.

  "Miss Shangguan, may I ask who this gentleman is? Can you introduce him to us?" Facing the young master's request, Wang Yaoyu didn't care at all. What he cared about were the four bodyguards outside. Fortunately, the four bodyguards stood on the side of the girl, it seemed that they were all hired by the girl's parents for their daughter.

  "She is Wang Ya Zu's sister, a good friend of mine. I stayed at Wang Ya Zu's house for the past three days." Shang Guan Hui had made up her mind to ruin this blind date and wanted to be with Wang Ya Zu, so she said such words in front of everyone. The young man's face looked very unpleasant.

  "What's going on? How embarrassing! Please don't laugh, everyone. This is just a friend of my little sister's. He helped her out once and she started calling him brother. Right, Ya Zu Xian?"

  He used to be Mr. Wang, but now he's become a wise nephew. It also clearly states that Shangguan Hui is his sister, the meaning of which is already very clear. At the same time, there are several male servants beside Mr. Shangguan.

  Shangguan Hui was a bit nervous, and directly grabbed Wang Yaowu's arm, pulling it to her own chest. This made Mr. Shangguan even angrier. The guests around them, except for the young master, all dispersed, leaving only that young man still standing there.

  Wang Yaozu didn't care, looked around at the people, and smiled at Mr. Shangguan before saying: "Let everyone misunderstand, Ahui is not my woman. However, Mr. Shangguan, do you know Old Zhu of the Zhu Bank? I am also one of the shareholders of the Zhu Bank. Every month, I go to Old Zhu's place to collect dividends."

  Wang Ya Zu threatened Shangguan's father, and Shangguan's company had borrowed a large sum of money from the Zhu family bank. If Old Man Zhu refused to lend more money to the Shangguan family and demanded early repayment of the loan, the Shangguan family's company would be finished.

  "This is the son of Director Chen, his father works in the Shanghai municipal government and will soon join the government department. You two are both young talents and work for the government, you should get to know each other better."

  Mr. Shangguan was using Chen Gongzi's identity to suppress Wang Yaowu, but even Mr. Shangguan himself had no confidence in his heart. The people from the Shanghai Municipal Government were fundamentally unable to compare with those from the military, and Wang Yaowu's identity was also known to him.

  "No need. He's Director Chen's precious son, while I'm just a bloody secret agent who has risked my life for the party and country. How can someone like me with blood on my hands be close to him? Uncle Shangguan, this is actually our young people's business, why not let me have a private talk with this young man?"

  As soon as Wang Yaowu called himself a dog agent, the people around him were shocked. More and more people on Shanghai Beach learned about the terror of the Kuomintang agents. Even ordinary citizens have seen with their own eyes that in order to capture them, those plainclothes men opened fire on the street and killed people on the street.

  As for the gossip of the people around him, Wang Yaowu didn't care. He put his hand into his bosom, this action scared Mr. Shangguan and his servant behind him to retreat two steps, but as a result, Wang Yaowu only took out a notebook and flipped it open for Shangguan Hui to see.

  "Ahui, this is the discount store next week, after finishing this week, I'll accompany you shopping on Sunday." Wang Yaowu handed over his notebook to Shangguan Hui, pointing to the place he recorded, and Shangguan Hui couldn't hold back her tears anymore.

  Seeing this scene, Chen Gongzi couldn't bear it anymore. In other people's eyes, he was now like a fool. So he loudly asked Uemura Hiroshi's father: "Uncle, is there a separate room? I want to talk to Mr. Wang!" Gunsmoke Silent Volume 1 Empty Spirit Chapter 23 Not My Woman
