The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

As night fell in Hankou, several stewards of the Hong family regretted seeing Wen Yan, left the gifts they brought and left.

Xilian went out with Mrs. Wen, and now the maid who has the most say in the whole house is Fuzhu.

After watching the panic-stricken servants roughly put their things in order, Fuzhu asked everyone to rest, turned off the lights and sat quietly in the corner of the stairs, not knowing what else to do.

Like Xi Lian, she was a maid bought by Wen's family since she was a child. To her, this family is not only the master's house, but also her belonging. However, now, with the news of Wen Heng's death, everything All broken.

Poor Madam, and even more poor Mr. Xie... If Er Shaoquan had spirits, would he come back to see them?

As Fuzhu thought about it, she suddenly heard the sound of small footsteps behind her. She suddenly started up from the darkness, and the people on the stairs seemed to be startled too.

"Miss San? Are you going downstairs at this time?" Fuzhu turned on the light on the porch and found that Wen Yanhui was actually wearing out clothes.

"I suddenly remembered something, so I went out to discuss it with Erya." Wen Yan regained his composure.

"Can't you go tomorrow? Second Young Master just had an accident..."

"It's an urgent matter. If it's too late, it's too late." Seeing that Fuzhu was still hesitating, Wen Yanhui continued, "This matter has something to do with Mr. Xie. When Erya and I went to school this afternoon, we met a man named Wang Huan. People from Dabao, this person may have something to do with foreigners, and he is trying to slander Mr. Xiao Xie’s reputation everywhere. Right now, Mr. Xiao Xie has gone, just in case, we need to discuss a countermeasure as soon as possible.”

Fu Zhu heard that Xie Yan and foreigners were involved behind this matter, and immediately hesitated.In case the foreigners get their way, she can't bear the subsequent responsibilities.

"Then...Miss San, go and come back quickly, and bring the guy who has been going out with you before."

"Okay, let someone call him."

Seeing Wen Yanhui, Fuzhu agreed with all her heart, and the stone hanging in her heart finally fell to the ground. Miss San often goes to Miao's house these days, so there shouldn't be any mistakes.

Fu Zhu asked the gatekeeper to go to the workshop to call out the man who had been following Wen Yanhui, and personally escorted them to the gate of the compound.

"Fuzhu." Before leaving, Wen Yanhui suddenly turned around.

"Ok?"

"What I just said about Wang Dabao, remember to tell Mr. Xiao Xie exactly when you see him."

"..."

The backs of Wen Yanhui and his buddies quickly disappeared into the vast night, and it wasn't until the lights they held in their hands were barely visible that Fuzhu finally figured out what was wrong.

——If the purpose of Wen Yanhui's departure was to discuss with Miao Erya about that Wang Dabao, why did he specifically emphasize to her to remember to tell Xie Yan about these things before leaving?

Suddenly, a strong anxiety surged in Fuzhu's heart. Water vapor and cold mist condensed on her exposed skin, and the sound of the Yangtze River rushing loudly in the night, Fuzhu shivered suddenly. She wanted to cry out. Wen Yan regretted it, but the other party was no longer in front of him.

The night in Hankou is like a monster with its huge mouth open, devouring all the fresh life that gets close to it.

……

Xie Yan flipped through the materials in front of her quickly, and did not move her body for several hours. Yun Liu was worried about her body and wanted to persuade her, but was stopped by Mrs. Hua.

The hidden wooden door was opened from the outside, and the weather-beaten dumb wife walked in.

"Mr. Xie, everything in our hands is here."

When they had a showdown with Xie Yan before, Xie Yan didn't show much interest in the power left behind by Xiang Yanlin. Out of double protection for Xie Yan and this power, the dumb sister-in-law chose to temporarily hide some things .

But now that Xie Yan has finally made up his mind to take over everything, the dumb sister-in-law and the others have also seen Xie Yan's ability, so naturally they will no longer hold back.

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Xie Yan let out a long sigh of relief, staring at the candle in front of him and fell into deep thought.

"Mr. Xiang's power is not small, but if you want to mobilize it, you still need the missing list." The dumb sister-in-law sat opposite Xie Yan, "We don't know who Mr. Xiang gave the list to. , but he is sure that his chosen successor can find it. No one can help you in this matter, only you know how to do it."

The hoarse voice of the dumb wife came to Xie Yan's ears and merged into his thoughts.

If he is really the little nephew who puts high hopes on Yan Lin, maybe he doesn't have to worry about it at this moment, and he can immediately think of the answer.It's a pity that he wasn't, that young man who would surely have a great future if he survived had already died in the woodshed of a certain family in the suburbs of Hankou, Xie Yan was just a soul from another world summoned by his unyielding obsession.

However, after reading everything that has been done so far, plus his own experiences and encounters these days, Xie Yan found some clues after repeated deliberation in his heart.

"Sister lame, please pay more attention. If..." Xie Yan stood up, then paused, "If there is any news about Wen Heng, please tell me right away, good or bad."

"Then you—"

"I'll go home and prepare. I'll visit Mr. Jin Wenjun tomorrow."

"Mr. Jin?" The dumb sister-in-law obviously knew this person, "Mr. Jin and Mr. Xiang had a good relationship back then, but after the death of his only daughter because of the New School Movement, he has been away from disputes and lived in seclusion in Hankou for several years. Everything else doesn't match up."

"The more impossible, the closer to the truth." Xie Yan recalled Mr. Jin's hint to himself in the theater before, "He must know something."

"What if you guess wrong? What if Mr. Jin has nothing to do with the list?"

"I guessed wrong, it's not like there is no other way." In the dim light, Xie Yan's face was as quiet as a lifeless wooden figure, "I probably need your help at that time."

"what's up?"

"My master has Luo Weizhu, the son of Luo Longsheng who is patrolling in the northwest. Luo Longsheng's sphere of influence borders on Sichuan and is not far from the Three Gorges area. If we show enough interests and sincerity, and Luo Longsheng intends to It is not impossible to ask Huguang Xunxu to send troops to put pressure on the French in Sichuan."

"Will Luo Longsheng trust us? He is not really a reckless man."

"His son's letter is enough. Luo Weizhu's status in Luo Longsheng's heart is not low, otherwise he would not have been sent to Huguang alone to contact Fang Qingming."

"Mr. Xie is so sure that Luo Weizhu will stand by our side?"

"He will stand by Bai Luoqiu's side."

Under the puzzled eyes of the dumb sister-in-law, Xie Yan shook her head and did not continue to explain.Perhaps it is contemptible to use other people's feelings, but now Xie Yan has only one purpose, that is to use all the power in his hands, regardless of the method and consequences, to complete revenge on everything that took Wen Heng away.

The contradiction between madness and calmness tore madly in his soul, driving him to go on without stopping.

……

After bidding farewell to the dumb sister-in-law and the others, Xie Yan stopped and stopped on the road, and finally returned to Wen's compound.Although Wen Heng is no longer there, his home is still the one that Xie Yan recognizes in the deepest part of his heart.

Before entering the compound, Xie Yan noticed something unusual. Almost all the lights in Wen's mansion were extinguished, but there were eye-catching lights on the porch and courtyard.

Xie Yan frowned and walked quickly into the courtyard, and saw several clerks of the Wen family, housekeepers, maids, and Gu Shixu who was recuperating quietly gathered in the porch.

"Mr. Xie, you are back!" Seeing Xie Yan, Fuzhu seemed to have found a backbone, and trotted up to meet her. "Miss San threw off her buddy and disappeared!"
