Yun Chu was holding the champagne again. As soon as she stood up, she tilted her hand and poured all the wine at the young man's feet.

She quickly bowed and apologized, looking very embarrassed: "Ah, sorry, I didn't mean it."

The young man stood up suddenly because of the wine at his feet. He was about to get angry, but when he met Yun Chu's dark and beautiful eyes, all his words of reprimand were swallowed. He took a deep breath and said generously: "It's okay, it's just a small matter."

Yun Chu smiled gratefully again: "Sir, you are really elegant. No wonder people say that young masters in Shanghai are the most gentle."

Cai Peichang felt a little flattered by these words, and couldn't help but secretly look at Yun Chu. Seeing that she was dressed very ordinary, he knew that she didn't have any family background, but her face was really beautiful and gorgeous.

He sat down again and turned to talk to Yun Chu again: "From the tone of the lady, you came from another place?"

Yun Chu narrowed his eyes again and nodded slightly: "I don't have much family. I heard that I could work and make money in Shanghai, so I came all the way here. But looking at the scene at Xianlemen, I feel a little timid."

Hearing this, Cai Peichang was stunned, and looked at Yun Chu again: "You want to be a dancer?"

Yun Chu bit her lip again: "In this chaotic situation, there is no way out for a woman like me... I can only..."

Shanghai is a city that never sleeps, and there is no shortage of flashy dancers and hostesses. Although this profession is despised by people, in this era when people laugh at poverty rather than prostitution, dancers earn a lot of money, and many decent girls are flocking to this profession.

Cai Peichang looked at Yun Chu with pity. Such a beautiful woman chose to be a dancer and degrade herself.

Yun Chu naturally sensed the contempt in his eyes. She said nothing but looked longingly. "I heard that Miss Jinlan is a pillar of Xianlemen and can earn hundreds of dollars a day. I wish I could be like her. Maybe I could buy a house in the Shanghai Concession and settle down there in the future."

Hearing this, Cai Peichang burst out laughing, as if mocking her for overestimating her own abilities.

Yun Chu frowned again and looked at Cai Peichang with dissatisfaction: "Why are you laughing at me? Miss Jinlan is not even as pretty as me. If I become the pillar of Xianlemen, I will definitely be much more popular than her!"

Cai Peichang's face changed slightly, and he quickly looked around and said in a low voice, "Are you going to die? How dare you say anything!"

Yun Chu's eyes flickered again, his face turned pale, and he whispered, "I, I didn't say anything!"

Cai Peichang rolled his eyes repeatedly and said unhappily, "You haven't said anything yet? Do you know where this is? Xianlemen! You are making up stories about Miss Jinlan in Xianlemen. Aren't you afraid of being shot?"

Yun Chu was slightly surprised again: "How could I make it up? Am I not telling the truth?"

Cai Peichang choked and looked at Yun Chu carefully, but he had to admit that although Miss Jinlan was famous and had someone backing her up, she was indeed not as pretty as the woman in front of him. Who knows, she might really be replaced in the future.

Thinking of this, Cai Peichang opened his folding fan and shook it, then glanced at Yun Chu twice, not minding making a good connection.

He said, "Miss Jinlan has a close relationship with Colonel Nozawa of the Military Police Headquarters. Not everyone in Shanghai can afford to offend her. I advise you to be cautious and not rush to get involved. Otherwise, if you offend someone, you may not make any money but lose your life."

Yun Chu took another breath and lowered his voice and said, "Military Police Headquarters? Colonel?!"

Cai Peichang looked at Yun Chu's surprised expression and thought to himself that this country girl from another place had never seen the world.

He nodded and said, "You also know the current situation in Shanghai. The Japanese have the final say, and the Military Police Headquarters is even more difficult to offend. It may not be easy for you to make a name for yourself in Xianlemen. You might as well try another dance hall."

Yun Chu looked depressed again, then raised his head to look at the woman singing on the stage, and said unconvincedly, "I came here tonight just to listen to Miss Jin Lan sing. Will she be on stage tonight?"

Cai Peichang waved his fan and shook his head: "Miss Jinlan is a pillar of the stage. She rarely comes on stage unless a big shot comes. It's so quiet tonight, I'm afraid no one is here."

Hearing this, Yun Chu became a little discouraged again and just looked at the stage without saying anything.

There was a faint look in her eyes and she gently lifted her long hair. As expected, to be famous in a place like Xianlemen, how could it be ordinary? Colonel Nozawa of the Military Police Command, this position is equivalent to Tachibana Hirotomo, and he is a big shot.

Otherwise, the first target should be Colonel Nozawa? I just don't know when he will come to Xianlemen.

Although she boasted that she was very capable and could take people's lives silently, it was not easy for her to get into the Military Police Headquarters, which was guarded by the Japanese army day and night. To be on the safe side, it would be more convenient to act at Xianle Gate.

There is no clue about the intelligence, but it is no problem to be a desperate killer who reaps the lives of senior Japanese military officers.

She came to Shanghai just to create chaos here, so as to attack the enemy from both inside and outside and go straight to the throat of the enemy.

Seeing that Yun Chu was silent again, Cai Peichang thought that she was timid and did not dare to compete with Miss Jinlan anymore, so he did not say anything. Little did he know that this beautiful and harmless girl actually had such a terrible idea in her mind.

When the song ended on the stage, the dancers retreated.

Cai Peichang was fanning himself out of boredom, his eyes falling on Yun Chu from time to time. Suddenly, his fanning paused slightly, and he turned to look at the stage. A slender and graceful woman in a bright red cheongsam slowly walked onto the stage.

Cai Peichang became excited and quickly reached out to pat Yun Chu again: "Here she comes, Miss Jinlan is here!"

Yun Chu's eyes flickered again, and he became interested: "Is this Miss Jin Lan?"

She really didn't expect that. She originally thought she would return empty-handed tonight, but she didn't expect Miss Jinlan to actually go on stage. Does that mean that the target will appear at the Xianlemen Ballroom tonight?

Cai Peichang was also very excited: "Yeah, I didn't expect Miss Jinlan to be on stage tonight. Why didn't you let the news out?"

While the two were talking, a group of people came in from outside the dance hall, led by a middle-aged man in a long gown.

The middle-aged man may not look good-looking, but he has many fans, and one can tell at first glance that he is a person of high status and background.

Yun Chu glanced at the people behind him again. The group of supporters did not have the iron-blooded fierceness of soldiers when they walked. Instead, they were very leisurely. Such a group of people must have nothing to do with the military. In Shanghai, there was no one else except the Anqing Gang who could be so arrogant.

As expected, as soon as these people were seen, the originally noisy Xianle Gate suddenly became quiet.

Cai Peichang also sat upright, looking straight ahead, and kept winking at Yun Chu, asking her to lower her head and not let anyone notice her. However, he was just winking at a blind man, and Yun Chu ignored him.

After a moment, the passers-by actually noticed Yun Chu again. Someone whispered something to the middle-aged man in the lead. The latter looked over, and soon his eyes brightened and he nodded. Then someone walked over here.

Cai Peichang's heart skipped a beat and he couldn't help feeling sorry for Yun Chu. Such a beautiful girl was about to become someone else's plaything. She didn't even know anything and was just a poor person who came to Shanghai to make a living.

Although he was thinking about it, Cai Peichang's body was very honest. He moved and sat further away, fearing that he would be implicated.
