Shen Ruye's confidant Xia Cheng went to Qingbang Wharf.

He put on a disguise.

The boat arrived at several docks in Qinggang at five o'clock in the afternoon, and Ershipu dock was where Ling Yaokun's cronies really wanted to go.

Shen Ruye never underestimated Shen Yuqing.

Shen Yuqing said so much in front of the warlord, asking the warlord to strengthen the manpower at several defense lines in Linshan, and wanted them to go to Qinggang Pier.

If they leave, they are deceived.

Shen Ruye thought of this immediately, so he said he would proceed as planned.

But afterwards, he thought that Shen Yuqing was best at feinting, and he must have thought of this as well.

He thought a little more.

It's just this level that he didn't tell Shen Linyang.

Shen Linyang has already replaced several lines of defense with his own people. If Shen Yuqing waits and waits, Shen Linyang will be in trouble.

Even if he didn't die, he would still be an outcast.

If Shen Linyang succeeds, then only his people will be sent in, and he will die there.

No matter what, Shen Linyang was destined to fall there.

So does power, and so does life.

There is no trace of him in this matter.

And Shen Ruye can naturally take over the power and connections established by his dear third brother.

Xia Cheng sat on the bench next to the pier and glanced at the watch on his wrist.

People will arrive in a quarter of an hour.

He lowered the brim of his hat and pretended to read the newspaper in his hand, his slender eyes keenly observing his surroundings through the edge of the newspaper.

There are a lot of people at the pier today.

Most of the people coming and going were carrying suitcases and were in a hurry. Now that it has been closed in recent years, it is normal for many people to come and go by boat.

Xia Cheng didn't think much about it.

His mind was on business.

The closer the time came, the bigger the smile on his lips became, almost unbearable.

Four twenty-eight.

A man sat next to him.

Xia Cheng tightened his grip on the newspaper and took a cautious side look.

The person next to him was wearing an inconspicuous dark gray gown, and a black hat almost covered most of his face.

He held the Nancheng Republic of China Daily in his hand and opened it to read after sitting down.

The person's body was slightly tilted, and he could only see a little bit of his face.

Xia Cheng had doubts in his heart and observed him calmly.

The sound of a ship suddenly came to his ears. He looked at the watch on his wrist. The minute hand was already pointing directly upward——

It's five o'clock sharp.

Ignoring that suspicion, he hurriedly stood up and prepared to pick up someone.

Just as he was about to stand up, the person next to him suddenly grabbed his wrist.

"you……"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the person next to him suddenly turned his head.

He raised his head slightly, and the cold eyes hidden under the brim of his hat met his eyes.

Xia Cheng's pupils widened.

"Why, you are surprised to see me?" Zhou Shi's brows were full of mockery, "Your master wants me to die, how can I miss his show?"

It was discovered!

Xia Cheng was panicked, knowing that the matter had been exposed, and they had already set up a trap waiting for them!

Without hesitation, he raised his hand and struck at his wrist, trying to break free of his shackles.

Soon after, Zhou Shi was one step ahead of him. He directly grabbed his arm and raised it, avoiding his movement and twisting it with his backhand.

There was just a click, and the bones in his arm made a dislocating sound. Heart-wrenching pain instantly shot through the entire arm, and his hand instantly lost strength.

He moved so quickly that it was almost impossible to see what he was doing.

Zhou Shi shook it off lightly: "Shen Ruye knows how to be lazy and doesn't come to such a big event."

Xia Cheng turned around and wanted to run away, but when he turned around he saw a smiling face.

Song Huiyi wore a mint green quilted cheongsam with a white coat outside. The wooden hairpin easily tied up the hair, and the face was bright and moving.

With a smile in her eyes, she said, "Today's Ershipu Pier is really lively. Not only are the Second Young Marshal's cronies here, but it's rare that the Ninth Master is also here to play."

"We can't enter the Governor's Mansion, otherwise we wouldn't come to the dock to play." Zhou Shi responded calmly.

She chuckled.

Looking at Xia Cheng, "I wonder why you came here today?"

Xia Cheng was silent.

There was Zhou Shi before him and Song Huiyi behind him. If he said that he had not fallen into a trap, he would never believe it.

The person opposite asked knowingly.

They're here to block him!

The matter has been exposed!

However, the young marshal has always been hiding deeply, how could he be discovered by them?

Xia Cheng didn't have time to think about anything else. He rolled his eyes twice and said immediately: "I'm just passing by to rest for a while. I don't want to mess with Miss Song and Master Jiu. If you two are fine, I'll leave first."

Determined to act stupid, he tried to pass by.

His right arm was still in severe pain, and he could no longer care about it. He just wanted to go back and report the news.

Today's matter has been decided, and the Second Young Marshal needs to think of a countermeasure as soon as possible!

Zhou Shi took a step in the direction he wanted to leave: "What are you going for? You didn't catch the person you wanted to pick up, and you just left empty-handed. Will the Second Young Marshal not punish you for not doing things well?"

"I don't understand what Master Jiu said."

Xia Cheng looked calm and made up his mind not to let go, "I have no enmity with Master Jiu, why bother blocking my way?"

Zhou Shi asked back: "Is there really no injustice or enmity?"

Song Huiyi chuckled.

She covered her lips, but still couldn't hide her faint laughter: "Master Jiu, it seems that your injuries in Meilan Garden were in vain. They sent people to hunt you for so long, but in the end they didn't admit it."

Zhou Shi snorted coldly: "If he doesn't show his conscience, I will. I just remember it."

"Yes, there were so many knives on the body, and one shot in the abdomen."

Song Huiyi's eyes flashed, "When your second young commander did these things, did you ever think that Master Jiu would assassinate him afterwards?"

Xia Cheng was shocked.

how come?

How could they know these things?

Could it be possible that the Second Young Marshal's actions were under their noses from the very beginning?

Do not!impossible!

He didn't want to believe it.

The Second Young Marshal has always been secretive in his work. He has been working steadily and dormantly for so many years. It is impossible for them to know these things!

He was shocked in his heart, but his face didn't show any signs of it, and he just remained silent.

Zhou Shi pressed Xia Cheng on the bench and sat down.

Xia Cheng was helpless.

He originally had a chance, but Zhou Shi was one step ahead of him and removed one of his hands first, causing him to lose the opportunity.

They were well prepared and had obviously taken precautions in advance.

"Let's watch the show." Song Huiyi sat on the side of the bench.

The two of them sat next to Xia Cheng, one on the left and one on the right.

Her voice was soft: "Look at these people on the pier, do they look familiar?"
