Golden Scale Club [Republic of China + Jiang Chengyan X Mu Bingci]

One day later, Jiang Chengyan turned from Nanjing to Huizhou, intending to pick up Mu Bingzhi and go to Shanghai together, and stay with him for a few more days before Mu Bingzhi went to Peiping.

It was already late when Jiang Chengyan arrived, thinking of giving Mu Bingci a surprise, Lu Chaosheng took care of Yu Luo to pick him up at the train station quietly.After returning home from Huangshan, Mu Bingci was locked in the house and did not come out. Naturally, Yu Luo was left unattended, so he found an excuse to pry a car from the garden, and successfully brought Jiang Chengyan to the handsome mansion.

It was dark and rainy at night, and Yu Luo opened an umbrella to bring Jiang Chengyan in. He said without confidence: "Third Master, Mr. Mu has been staying in Mu Shuai's study for the past two days, and he doesn't seem to have eaten anything. readily."

Jiang Chengyan looked around, there were no servants in the building, and they were probably all sent away.He frowned and said, "Where's Mu Yang?"

Yu Luo said: "He's guarding upstairs. Mr. Mu is upset, and he doesn't dare to walk away."

Jiang Chengyan nodded and walked upstairs, and sure enough, he saw Mu Yang guarding the living room.When Mu Yang saw Jiang Chengyan coming, he stood up and said, "Master Jiang is here. The young master is in the house, no one is allowed in."

Jiang Chengyan walked over and held the doorknob to try it, and sure enough the door was locked from the inside.Thinking of what happened to Mu Qinxue before, Mu Bingci made himself bloody in the room by himself, and looked back at Yu Luo: "For the past two days and three nights, you will let him be locked up alone, without eating or drinking. What are you going to do if something happens?—give me the gun."

Mu Yang drew the gun from his belt and handed it over. Jiang Chengyan took it and put it on the box, and shot the door lock twice to open the door.

Mu Bingci sat straight behind the desk, motionless like a puppet.He just stared straight at Jiang Chengyan as he walked in front of him, his bloodshot eye sockets were deeply sunken, like a trapped beast that had just passed through life and death.

Jiang Chengyan guessed that he was suffering because of Mu Yanqiu's incident, so he immediately put the gun on the table, held his shoulders with both hands, and said with concern: "Bingci, are you okay?"

Mu Bingci remained motionless in a daze, and after a moment of silence, he said lifelessly, "Do you wish me well?" His voice was hoarse like a cracking silk.

Jiang Chengyan said distressedly: "What silly things are you asking? Of course I hope you are well. What Mu Yang Yuluo eats is what you eat, so you can spoil yourself like this."

Mu Bingci supported the edge of the table with both hands, stood up unsteadily, and took a step back against the chair.He reached out and took a stack of papers on the table, brushed away Jiang Chengyan's hand on his shoulder, and said with a sneer, "Jiang Chengyan, don't pretend to be a good person. My Mu family is now ruined, and it's all thanks to you! You What else is there to take care of me?"

Raising his hand and throwing it vigorously, he threw the thick stack of paper manuscripts at Jiang Chengyan, covering his head and face.Jiang Chengyan stretched out his hand to catch it, but the palm of his hand collided with the manuscripts, and he grabbed a few of them with his fingers, and the rest were like flying snow, flying all over the room.

Jiang Chengyan looked down and saw clearly that these papers were the translations of the telegrams he had exchanged with Mu Chengshan and Mu Yanqiu for so many years, and the contents were all about the transactions of supporting the army and commanding the Northern Expedition.

In my heart, I can count Mu Bingci's disfigured appearance, and they are all directed at him.Jiang Chengyan quickly calculated in his mind that when it comes to his relationship with Mu Bingci, he has always coaxed him softly and lingered with a lot of tongue, but if he takes all the numbness as interest, he can make Mu Bing Bingci was completely softened.However, these things now are not only related to feelings, but also traced back to the entanglement of interests between the Jiang and Mu families. When combined, they are invincible, but when they are torn apart, there is a deep gulf.

At this time, he could no longer put on that foolish attitude, Jiang Chengyan said seriously: "Bing Ci, since you have read this, you must have misunderstood the cooperation between our two companies. If you have any questions, just ask, I can't say enough .It also relieves your knots and hostility."

Mu Bingci originally thought that he must be going around in circles with rhetoric, but he didn't expect him to be frank and straightforward. He nodded with a sneer and said, "Okay. Your attitude is an attitude that can be discussed. Jiang Chengyan, you also know that if you want to deceive me now, don't you?" It's too easy, just do the opposite. You have always been unique in deceiving people with your words, but is there any need to ask about the dark things you have done?"

Jiang Chengyan said: "Why is it not necessary? After reading these telegrams, you must be thinking that I persuaded the old commander to send troops, which will harm your Mu family. But the situation in the country, is it possible to occupy the mountain as the king for a long time? The old commander is in charge. I am not the only lobbyist for the resources of the seven provinces in the south? It’s not that if the Jiang family doesn’t take the idea of ​​the Mu family, the south can take care of itself. The old man knows very well that unless he dominates the whole country, sooner or later he will have to express his position and join hands with one of the forces , to strive for an opportunity to take the lead in a general unification. The reason why the boss chose me is precisely because I can solve his urgent need: financial support. This is a reciprocal transaction. Otherwise, the South will be divided sooner or later. I will save the Mu family from the decline. The old commander voluntarily sent troops to drive me, is there any problem?"

Mu Bingci's impression was still on Jiang Chengyan's slippery tongue, but he didn't expect Jiang Chengyan to be so eloquent about this topic that made him feel uncomfortable, but it seemed that he was cowardly and unreasonable.This recognition made Mu Bingci even more angry, and he said bitterly: "You have always been very capable, but anyone you are eyeing, as long as that person has a weakness, you can exaggerate it and take advantage of it. It is my father who is You worry about money, and you use it as a condition to coerce and lure. Are you doing this like a gentleman!"

Jiang Chengyan said calmly: "When did I say that I am a gentleman? Isn't the so-called gentleman's actions just to push people to a moral high point and tie them to them for others to take freely? I am most annoyed by this gentleman's actions in my life. People and people Obviously the best thing is to pay both money and goods, and the contract is clear, but what kind of favors and good deeds should be used to flaunt others, trying to get something from other people's pockets for nothing. This kind of behavior is the most despicable and shameful. My agreement with your father , it is clearly a contractual cooperation between you and me, and each bears the risk. You insist on relying on me to pry into the corner of your Mu family, so why are you so confident?"

Hearing his sharp words, Mu Bingci had no guilt for the Mu family's sacrifice, and hatred bled from the bottom of his heart.But what Jiang Chengyan said was also reasonable, even if he persuaded his father to lure Mu Yanqiu into the military administration, it was the best arrangement at that time.Mu Yanqiu got his wish, and later died here, who could predict it from the beginning?

But at this time, Mu Bingci can't tell what he hates Jiang Chengyan.He hated him and hated him with all his heart, even if he had nothing to do with him, he put all his brains on him, so as to find an outlet for his overflowing pain and guilt.

"Jiang Chengyan, how can you still be so shameless? If it weren't for you, why would my sister come to Huizhou to meddle in my affairs with Mu Yanqiu, how could Xue Qing's ambush cost her life! If it weren't for you, how could Mu Yanqiu Will turn back to Shandong to rescue, how can he be caught in the eyes of a commander! You just know that they are all concerned about me, and use your unique tricks to plot people's hearts! Why don't you think that I will use their lives to live, How heavy is the shackles? Even if I treat myself well, I still feel that I am betraying them!"

For Jiang Chengyan, Mu Yanqiu's heart knot lies in Mu Bingci's approval, but he never expected that Mu Yanqiu's deep affection for Mu Bingci is also what makes Mu Bingci feel painful and guilty.He only heard the despair in Mu Bingci's words, and he was even more distressed and annoyed. He came forward and grabbed Mu Bingci's wrist.

"Then what do you want me to do? If I could give up on you early on, why should I go around in such a big circle to drag irrelevant people into the water? If I could break your hands and feet, tie you by my side, imprison you, and Where did all those out-of-control things come from? Bing Ci, no matter how much I cherish you, I must first respect your freedom and independence. Because of this, if you do what you think is right, then I can only follow behind and clean up The situation. No matter what I do, I must first make sure that only you are safe. Compared with losing you, I can only choose to lose others."

"Shut up!" Mu Bingci was very irritable as if he had been stepped on a sore spot. "Jiang Chengyan, shut up! You are all under the banner of being good for me, and you can give me your life. You asked me if I want it, can I afford it? If it were you, would you want to live like this? Don’t you all have these supreme graces, just to set off my uselessness, what else can I do except let you trade your lives for yours?”

These words seemed to have finally opened up the festering scars in Mu Bingci's heart, and when confronted directly, he couldn't accept the weak and powerless self shrunk under the wings of others.He suddenly broke away from Jiang Chengyan's wrist, snatched the gun on the table, turned the gun backhand and pointed it at his temple: "I would rather die than you make sacrifices! If I die, you can stop giving Yeah!"

"Bingci! Calm down!" Jiang Chengyan was taken aback by his sudden action, and his instinctive reaction was to reach out for the gun.Because he was close, he grasped Mu Bingci's wrist as soon as he grabbed his arm, and tried hard to twist his arm behind his back.

Mu Bingci was extremely irritable, and his movements were unprecedentedly agile. Before Jiang Chengyan exerted force to suppress him, he had flexibly switched the gun to his left hand, and was still about to shoot with the gun raised.Jiang Chengyan didn't care so much, he grabbed the muzzle of the gun and pulled it out.When the two were fighting, the fire suddenly went off, and there was a loud bang. Jiang Chengyan felt a pain in his right shoulder, and was immediately brought down by the force of the penetration, and fell backwards.

When Mu Yang and Yu Luo heard the movement outside the door, they hurried in to see what was going on. They saw a bloody hole on Jiang Chengyan's shoulder, which instantly covered half of his body.Yu Luo hurried up to help him up, and hurriedly said to Mu Bing: "The third master is injured! Where is the military doctor?"

Mu Bingci's chest rose and fell violently, and he stared at Jiang Chengyan's blood all over his body in a daze, his eyes opened wide but it seemed that his soul had gone out of his body, and he couldn't hear the sound at all.Jiang Chengyan reluctantly waved his hand to Yu Luo, motioning him not to yell, went up and grabbed Mu Bingci's hand and said: "Bingci, calm down, we—"

As soon as that hand touched him, Mu Bingci suddenly took two steps back as if being burned by fire.Before Mu Yang could react, he suddenly turned around and ran, heading down the stairs.

Jiang Chengyan saw that it was going to be bad, so he quickly pushed Yu Luo away, endured the pain in his body and chased down, even jumped down by leaning on the railing when the stairs were interrupted, and grabbed Mu Bingci when he just walked out of the gate . "Bingci! What are you going to do! Go back and talk to me if you have anything to say!"

It was raining heavily in the garden.Mu Bingci was caught by Jiang Chengyan and tripped beside the car. He took off the whip in his hand and swung it vigorously, flicking the tail of the whip at Jiang Chengyan: "I have nothing to say to you! Jiang Chengyan, you and I don't need to meet again in this life! Don't use your skills on me, I don't want to see you again!"

Jiang Chengyan clung to the tail of the whip and did not let go, knowing that if he was let go, the misunderstanding would not be resolved, but the rift deepened. It is not known whether it is love or robbery, what will Mu Bingci do? He was really afraid of him. "Bingci, don't go—"

Yu Luo and Mu Yang hurriedly chased out from the revolving door, shouting: "Quick! Stop him!"

Mu Bingci suddenly let go, even though Jiang Chengyan pulled the whip too hard and backed up, just blocking Yu Luo and Muyang, they both stretched out their arms at the same time.Mu Bingci jumped into the car neatly, ignited the ignition and turned the wheel, the car splashed a big wave of water, and sped away without any hindrance.Mu Yang immediately jumped into another car and chased him out.

Jiang Chengyan was chilled all over, with the short snakeskin whip wrapped upside down on his hand, he pressed his injured shoulder hard, and half leaned on Yu Luo's body unsteadily.Yu Luo looked at the direction Mu Yang was chasing, and comforted him: "Don't worry, Third Master, Mr. Mu can't escape."

Suddenly, he felt his shoulders sink.Turning his head to look, Jiang Chengyan was leaning on him, his head was half down, and he was sliding down, and he passed out.

Yu Luo cursed loudly: "Damn it! Get a doctor!"
