Chapter 114 [Grand Theater] (Part 2)
Bai Yunfei sat quietly in the car. The temperature dropped sharply at night, and even the car was very cold. He fell half of the car window and looked at the German consul's official residence with lights on. The cigar in his mouth suddenly lit up with his sucking movement. Then Bai Yunfei resolutely said: "Go, go to Qishilin!"
Bai Yunfei's memory has never been rejected by the German consul. Recently, this German consul who was supported by him was like a fat pig and was greedy, actually blocked him out of the door in the name of being sick. Bai Yunfei is a man with strong self-esteem. His extreme and perverse temperament determines his revenge. It is difficult for such a person to get along with friends. Fortunately, Albert, the boss of Qishilin, is one of his few friends.
Bai Yunfei finished eating the steak cooked by Albert and drinking half a red wine, and his mood improved a lot. He did not tell Albert about what he had happened tonight. In fact, he has never been a talkative person. He came here mainly to listen.
The special status of Qishilin is that people from all walks of life gather here, and they often get first-hand news here.
Albert also knew everything about Bai Yunfei, his benefactor. He told Bai Yunfei an extremely important message that Germany was retreating steadily on the European battlefield and was already facing a complete defeat. If they were defeated, they would face a ill-fated fate, and the concession might be out of stock.
Bai Yunfei clearly felt his uneasiness from Albert's nagging. It seemed that the German consul did not see himself tonight should be related to the German's defeat in the European battlefield. Bai Yunfei's vision and mind were not enough to support him to look at the problem from a global perspective. However, he is good at learning and listening, and he has already smelled a trace of uneasiness from this conversation.
The reason he went to find the German consul was because he wanted to take a big move in Tianjin. The assassination in Fang Mansion made him angry. Bai Yunfei liked to take action first when doing things. Now that the enemy has burned the fire on his head, he will not fight back and can only sit and wait for death. However, the interests of Tianjin are very wide-ranging, and even Bai Yunfei has to consider the consequences of the action. The breaking of the old balance will lead to a series of chain reactions. If you want to minimize the impact and reach a new balance in the shortest time, you must use the help of all parties in the concession. Bai Yunfei's first thought of is of course the German side, which has always had a good relationship.
He did not think that any problems would arise in this link. After all, he had a close relationship with the German consul and had already tied the consul to his ship. The information provided by Albert made Bai Yunfei more uneasy. If Germany was defeated, the German concession would be taken back and the German forces would be cleared out from the land of China. With the current government's strength, they would not be able to truly control this land. It is very likely that the French, Italian, or Japanese would fill the vacancy of the Germans' departure. At that time, it would be too late for him to act.
Bai Yunfei finally made up his mind that he would race against time and bet on life with God, and he would be sure to seize control of the Tianjin port before the Germans were defeated. Only in this way can he have the capital and power to bargain with the later generations.
Yumanlou's singing style is sad and graceful, and it is twists and turns. Ye Qinghong, who lacks too much knowledge of Peking Opera, is fascinated by it, and even forgets that they are still in danger.
Luo Lie looked at Yumanlou, who was good at dancing on the stage, and fell into deep thought. There were too many things in this world. He was puzzled by the fact that Yumanlou's stage skills had a bright future in the Liyuan industry. He could clearly become a famous actor in the world, so why did he choose a cold-blooded and soul-catching killer path?
Ye Qinghong added hot tea to Luo Lie's teacup. Luo Lie's eyes left the stage and smiled politely at her. He also noticed the changes that happened to Ye Qinghong. When we met, Ye Qinghong became much more polite, polite, and gentle. As her princess, she could condescend to light cigarettes and pour tea for herself, and even tolerate her mockery. If it weren't for having ulterior motives for herself, she would fall in love with herself. There was almost no possibility of being the next one.
Luo Lie never overestimates his charm or underestimates a woman's determination, especially a woman with beliefs, pursuits, and principles in doing things, and he seems to have met such women.
Ye Qinghong said: "Do you guess will there be a shooting tonight?"
Luo Lie laughed, he picked up the teacup and took a sip and said, "I have a question that I can't get answers."
Ye Qinghong raised her jaw slightly, her attitude was very cooperative, and she was in a good mood: "Say, if I can give you an answer."
Luo Lie said: "How did Lu Weilin get into Lingtian Castle?" They had a lot of trouble when they were involved in Lingtian Castle, but Lu Weilin actually got into Lingtian Castle smoothly and carried a sniper rifle. I wonder how he passed Lingtian Castle almost harshly to inspect it.
Ye Qinghong smiled, her beautiful eyes flashing like stars. When she smiled, she was like a luminous body, which was so beautiful that it was suffocating. Even when her enemies faced her, they couldn't bear to attack her. Ye Qinghong said: "I have an inner response." Although this answer is straightforward, it is not thorough. Anyone with a normal IQ would guess.
Before Luo Lie could express his disappointment with this answer, Ye Qinghong said again: "Jin Li Wolf Zheng Qianchuan is my inner support."
Luo Lie was a little surprised and did not expect Ye Qinghong to announce the answer so happily. He suddenly remembered that he first met Zheng Qianchuan at the Liu Mansion in Yingkou. Since then, Ye Qinghong has already started to make arrangements. This mixed-race princess has a deep scheming.
Ye Qinghong said: "The young marshal of North Manchuria, Zhang Lingfeng, and I met in Europe. Zheng Qianchuan has always wanted to replace Xiao Tianxing's position. I will introduce him to Zhang Lingfeng in exchange for his help."
Luo Lie had just integrated everything before and after this. What he was most worried about was that Ye Qinghong and Lan Ximei joined forces. Now it seems that Lan Ximei's assassination of Xiao Tianxing was also unexpected.
"King!" Yu Ji shouted sadly on the stage, attracting both of them. The scene reached its climax. Yu Manlou, who played Yu Ji, turned his sword and wiped it towards his neck. A sound of regret sounded, and many people were overly devoted to watching it, and tears were filled with tears.
The actor who played Chu Bawang hugged Yu Manlou in his arms and sighed to the sky, and gunshots suddenly rang out.
Luo Lie was on guard all the time. After the gunfire sounded, he responded immediately. He spread his arms and hugged Ye Qinghong into his arms, and then fell to the ground. Although the target of this shot was not them, it was always a good thing to prepare for the future.
Gunshots rang out one after another, the first shot hit Yu Manlou in the chest, and the second and third shots hit the body of the Chu Bawang actor one after another. In fact, Yu Manlou had already reacted after the first shot. He was originally lying in Chu Bawang's arms, after being shot, he struggled hard and grabbed Chu Bawang to block the gun for him.
That night, all the audiences at the Peace Theater fought and witnessed Yu Ji's resurrection from the dead and using the farce of Chu King blocking the gun.
There was a burst of exclamation at the scene, and the red note fell from the coffee table and just fell in front of Luo Lie. He understood the true meaning of tasting tea, watching the show, and watching the show. Is Bai Yunfei invited him and Ye Qinghong to witness this show with his own eyes?
The gunshots subsided, and the two actors on the stage all fell in pools of blood, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
Luo Lie was convinced that the danger had passed, so he climbed up from Ye Qinghong's body. Ye Qinghong sorted out her messy hair, looked at Luo Lie with some anger, and then sat back in the corner and tidied her clothes. The first thing a woman thinks of in any situation is her own appearance, especially when there are other people around her.
Luo Lie dragged Ye Qinghong's hand, opened the door of the private room and walked out. The emergency passage was filled with panicked spectators. Luo Lie looked around for a while, eliminated the possible danger, spread his arms and hugged Ye Qinghong's shoulder and walked forward strode. Halfway through, he took Ye Qinghong's handbag.
Ye Qinghong was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Luo Lie meant. Seeing Luo Lie take out her pocket pistol from her handbag and throw it into an uninhabited corner. Although Ye Qinghong had nothing to do with this shooting, she would become an important suspect if she was discovered. Luo Lie thought about it very carefully when encountering things.
Luo Lie is not in a hurry to escape from the scene. The most important thing for them at this time is how to avoid possible dangers.
The Peace Grand Theater responded promptly to the shooting and closed all exits of the theater as soon as possible. Such a response was to prevent the suspect from leaving, which was understandable. Ye Qinghong saw the flaws from it and said to Luo Lie in a low voice: "The reaction is fast, and all entrances and exits can be blocked in such a short time unless they have the ability to know the uncertainty." The implication is that the Peace Grand Theater already knew about the assassination in advance.
Luo Lie frowned and used his body to protect Ye Qinghong to prevent her from being squeezed by the crowds coming from around him. Ye Qinghong also cooperated to press closer to his arms, and he could almost feel his heartbeat when he was close.
