The entertainment tycoon of the Republic of China

"Isn't that great?" Wen Rui said flatly, "Such a woman must have her own ambitions, why marry early and waste time with me."

"Oh, don't regret it." Wen Heng smiled playfully.

"What do you mean?"

"It's nothing, it's just that when I first met Ms. An, she seemed to recognize me as an old person, and asked me if I had any relatives with similar appearance. She knows."

Wen Heng spread his hands and added, "By the way, Ms. An's ancestral home is in Suzhou. She just came back from studying in the UK and is now living with her uncle's house in Hankou."

"..."

Wen Rui's pupils shrank suddenly, "What do you say?"

"I didn't say that anyone looks like me, and Ms. An didn't ask again." Wen Heng shrugged, "I think this matter should be handled by you. After all, whoever owes the debt will pay, what do you think?"

"..." Wen Rui didn't ask any more questions, he stood still for half a second, turned around and left.

"Where?"

"Find someone."

"Let me ask you about the shooting range you borrowed for training?"

Wen Rui kept walking, reached into the pocket of his military uniform, took out his ID, and threw it directly to Wen Heng, "There is no one in the fifth shooting range, just go."

"..."

Wen Heng looked at the back of his elder brother who rarely left in a hurry, shook his head and sneered, turned the ID in his hand, turned and walked towards the direction where the car was parked.

In fact, the relationship between the two brothers of the Wen family is not bad, but the way of getting along is really incomprehensible to ordinary people.

Based on the clues, Wen Heng already had some guesses about his elder brother's mind, but he didn't know what happened specifically, so after meeting An Yujing, he didn't mention Wen Rui's existence, but kept the matter. Let them solve it by themselves, so as not to cause more misunderstandings.

But just now I could see such a reaction from Wen Rui...Wen Heng felt a little emotional, love is the most unreasonable thing, it enters the room with lightning speed, quickly takes root and sprouts, and completely turns a person into a... another person.

In other words, reawakening a person who was originally forgotten by oneself, and only waiting for the string deep in the heart to be touched, can be full of vitality.

Wen Heng looked forward, and at the end of his line of sight, the young man in a snow-white cloak had gotten out of the car at some point, leaning against the car door, nibbling on fried chestnuts with sugar, and beckoning from afar when he saw him coming. .

Wen Heng's eyes loosened in an instant, he was still feeling sorry for his elder brother, but actually, when he thought about it, why not?

"What's the matter, is it inconvenient for you, Young Master?" Xie Yan was struggling with the chestnut that could not be eaten, when he saw Wen Heng came back alone, he squeezed the stubborn chestnut into his palm and opened his mouth to ask.

"He still has something to do, let us go to the shooting range by ourselves." Wen Heng gestured to him for the ID in his hand.

"That's good." Xie Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and planned to put the unappetizing candied chestnuts back into the car, but was stopped by Wen Heng.

"You should take it with you when your hands are cold, I think you like it very much." Cai Cai seemed to be biting all the time.

"..." Xie Yan was speechless for a while, what kind of eyes did Second Young Master Wen have?Does he like to eat?That is obviously not enough to eat.

"Wen Heng, I think this bag of chestnuts may not be suitable for eating." Xie Yan told the truth tactfully.

"is it?"

Wen Heng glanced at the chestnuts that Xie Yan was holding in his hand, as if he finally understood, he reached out and took one out of the paper bag in his arms.

With a few fingers exerted force, with a light retraction, with a crisp sound, the chestnut shell has cracked a regular gap.

"..."

After Wen Heng took out the chestnuts inside, he replaced the hard-to-bite chestnut in Xie Yan's palm. His slender and warm fingertips inadvertently brushed the skin of the palm of his hand, causing a slight throbbing that the owner didn't even notice. .

"It's not that it doesn't fit, just change it."

"..."

Xie Yan threw the chestnuts into the mouth, and followed Wen Heng towards the shooting range, always feeling that something was wrong.

He felt like a hunter living alone in a forest hut. A cunning and uncertain prey wandered around the hut every day, and every time he was about to be discovered, he quickly retreated and disappeared.

It's like a long psychological offensive and defensive battle, to see whether the hunter can't help but walk out of the hut to explore in the end, or the prey is willing to walk into the trap.

——And maybe no matter what, the result is the same.

Xie Yan shook her head, drove these outlandish thoughts out of her mind, and focused on the matter in front of her.

Playing with guns and walking God?Unless you don't want to die.

The No. [-] shooting range Wen Rui was talking about was a private training range located on the edge of the barracks. Relying on the ID given by Wen Rui and Wen Heng's similar appearance to Wen Rui, the two of them only stood at the guard post for a while before entering directly.

It was noon at this time, and there was no one else in the shooting range as Wen Rui said. The field of hundreds of square meters was surrounded by barbed wire and solid walls. The ground was flat and solid. Several center targets of the same size.

The pistol that Wen Heng gave to Xie Yan before was a German product. The gun body is very light, easy to carry and hide, and it is an excellent choice for self-defense. However, no matter how light and light, as long as it is a firearm, it is cold and dangerous. .

Wen Heng was afraid that Xie Yan would have an accident with a gun for the first time, so he stood half a step behind him, but soon he realized that he was too worried, because Xie Yan was very talented in learning firearms, and he could master it after just one look. The installation and disassembly of the bullets, and the first practice after the skills were taught, also hit the bullets on the target.

This pistol looks light, but the recoil is not small. After the bullet was fired, Xie Yan avoided the hot barrel and rubbed his numb shoulder, seeing with satisfaction that he had hit the target.

Although it was still far from hitting the target, at least it didn't go too far to go in the wrong direction.

Compared to Wen Heng's astonishment, Xie Yan himself was only expected to be satisfied with this, because from the very beginning, he felt that he would be able to master it, and he had a plan in mind before he shot—in many ways, whether it was in his previous life or this life , Xie Lv is a very sober and confident person.

"How about it?"

"Very good." Wen Heng patted his white-gloved hands, nodded and smiled.

Maybe he shouldn't think that Xie Yan might have problems in learning firearms. From the moment he realized it to now, this person has always been dazzling and surprising.

In the following time, Xie Yan practiced dozens of bullets under Wen Heng's guidance, and her accuracy improved from hitting the target at the beginning to hitting the sixth and seventh rings. Xie Yan regretted it until the soreness in her right shoulder could not be ignored. stop.

At this time, the sky was getting dark, and the clock had pointed to more than five o'clock in the afternoon. It was no longer necessary to go back to Wen's house to continue teaching. Xie Yan wanted to go back to the teahouse earlier to finish the rest of the novel, and rejected Wen Heng's proposal to have dinner together. Seeing this, Heng knew that there were many things that were too late, so he asked the driver to take Xie Yan back on the way.

Wen Heng got off the car when he arrived at the Wen family compound, and when Xie Yan arrived at Yunlai Teahouse in Wen family's car, it was not completely dark yet. Families who can afford a car in this era are very rare, even in Hankou On Furong Street, the busiest place in Huazhu, cars are not commonplace. As soon as Xie Yan got out of the car, he was watched by people around him.

"Ayan, why did you come back so early today?" Li Quan heard the movement in the teahouse, put a white towel on his shoulders and ran out, "This is... a car?"

"Well, when I got off work, Second Young Master Wen happened to be going out to take a car, so he took me along." Xie Yan smiled, and didn't mention that he learned guns from Wen Heng in the afternoon, but explained casually.

But even so, the people around who heard this still gasped.

God!That's the Ship King Wen's family!How did this new boy who was brought to the teahouse get involved with the Wen family, and still come back in their car?

And the white fox-fur cloak he was wearing, it was obvious at a glance that it was made of the best material, and even 30 yuan plus the workmanship cost would not be able to buy it. Isn't this guy a vagrant who came with Li Quan?Why can you wear something so nice?

It has only been a few days since Xie Yan was hired by the Wen family as a teacher. Not many people knew about it. At this time, everyone gathered together to discuss quietly, and the news spread. It was heard that this fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy was actually very knowledgeable. To be able to be the Mr. Wen's family, everyone has envy and longing in their eyes.

"When I first saw him, I thought he was not an ordinary person, and I was right!"

"People are more popular than people. Why can we only serve tea and water when they are well-behaved and educated?"

"Speaking of which, I went to the teahouse to listen to books two days ago, and this Xie Yan even poured me a cup of tea. Now that I think about it, it's really a short life."

"I heard that there seems to be a girl in the Wen family who is about the same age as Xie Yan. The Wen family treats him so well, so it's not because they want to recruit a son-in-law?!"

"Hey, anyway, Miss Wen is not our turn."

……

Xie Yan listened to the discussion around her, she was a little speechless, he just explained a sentence, and he was able to figure out so much, if these people really knew that he not only had dessert with Mrs. Wen today, but also went to the shooting range with Wen Ershao Learning guns, wouldn't it spread throughout Hankou?

During the period of the Republic of China, the people's enthusiasm for gossip was no lower than that of later generations.

Xie Yan pretended not to hear anything, ignored the curious onlookers, thanked the driver, and went into the tea house with Li Quan. On Wednesday, he was also watching the excitement by the door with a long-mouthed teapot. When Xie Yan came over, he felt strange She glared at him, but said nothing, turned her head and walked away.

"He has been more honest these two days, probably because he knows that you are not easy to mess with Ayan now." Li Quan said quietly.

Xie Yan didn't have much impression of Wednesday, only remembered that he had been at odds with himself and Li Quan before, and nodded after listening to Li Quan, not paying attention to it.

He looked around the teahouse and suddenly noticed something was wrong.

"Li Quan, where is shopkeeper Liu? And why do you feel that there are fewer customers in the teahouse today?"

Xie Yan looked at the scene in the teahouse with a frown, and felt that it was very inconsistent. Normally at this time, Mr. Shun had just finished his book, there should be more guests in the teahouse than now, and shopkeeper Liu should settle accounts behind the counter.

"This..." Li Quan paused after hearing the words, looked left and right for no one, and then grabbed Xie Yan and walked to the back hall, "Ayan, come with me, and I'll tell you what's going on."

so mysterious?Xie Yan saw that Li Quan looked like he couldn't be heard, so he had no choice but to follow him all the way to the small backyard where they lived temporarily.

"Actually, this happened a few days ago, but I think you are too busy to be distracted by these inexplicable things during the day, so I didn't mention it to you." Li Quan rubbed his hands and recalled, a little confused. Where to start.

"Ayan, do you still remember? The day we came here, we knew that the Yunlai teahouse was actually the property of Mr. Li who planned to open a foreign restaurant. The shopkeeper Liu was just hired by him to manage. Mr. Li would come to the teahouse every few days. Look at the situation, you just happened to miss it during the two days in the teahouse."

"I remember." Xie Yan nodded, because of the other party's reaction to Bai Luoqiu's name, he had inquired about Mr. Li's situation with shopkeeper Liu.

Hearing this, Li Quan went on to say, "About two afternoons ago, Mr. Shun was preparing to tell a story, when a woman holding a child suddenly came to the teahouse. She was not very old, in her twenties at most. Although she was dressed in shabby clothes, she was very It has a temperament, and it should have come from a rich family before."

Li Quan remembered the appearance of that lady at that time, sighed and shook his head.

"I heard from the teahouses around that she is the young wife of Xie Ji Mi Xingjia. Xie Ji Mi Xingjia's cash flow was difficult and closed down a while ago. The bandits made trouble, neither of them came back, only this young lady and her half-year-old child were left in the entire Xie family, the Xie family had a good relationship with Mr Li before, and the young lady Xie came to the teahouse to ask Mr Li for help when she had nowhere to go."

"At that time there were a lot of guests in the teahouse, and everyone recognized Mrs. Xie. Shopkeeper Liu had no choice but to send someone to invite Mr. Li over. After Mr. Li came, he comforted Mrs. Xie, promised to help, and gave her another The silver bill of one hundred silver dollars persuaded her to go back."

"Isn't this great? Is there something else?" Xie Yan asked after hearing this.

"It's all right now. Mr. Li is kind to us, and I don't want to suspect him for no reason..." Li Quan confirmed again that there was no one around, and then said in a low voice, "After persuading Mrs. Xie to leave that day, Mr. Li didn't stay any longer. He also left, he forgot to take his hat when he left, shopkeeper Liu asked me to chase after him when he found out."

"Mr. Li came in a carriage. When I walked over, he just got into the carriage. He didn't see me behind the carriage. I heard him say to the guy next to him——"

"He said 'I knew I should have done it earlier, and now I don't have to bother'."

Li Quan shuddered when he thought of the scene at that time.

"Ayan, Mr. Li's words... don't you mean Mrs. Xie?"
