Ya Shuo told Qing Feng everything about how he was noticed by Zhang Lin, how he got shot in order to gain his trust, how he stayed at the cage shop to do odd jobs, and how he found the book of the Communist Manifest and the password book. Qing Feng's face was full of surprise and joy, red and white. When Ya Shuo finished, Qing Feng was very anxious to see the gunshot wound and leg injury on his back. Ya Shuo waved his hand and said that it was fine. It was not a problem now. Azurepeak was really touched when he saw his good brother working so hard. Ya Shuo saw Azurepeak's touched expression and pretended to be indifferent."Don't be touched. We are fighting for the future of the Celestial Empire. If one day we can become the pillars of the country and contribute to the defense of China, it won't be too late for us to be moved!”,When Azurepeak heard this, he could not help but hold Yashuo's hand. The two pairs of large hands held tightly together. "I'm just a handyman in the bun shop now. Zhang Lin has been deeply moved by my ability to hear the sound of bullets flying. His higher-ups are in a hurry to find some young and promising people. As long as my character and faith pass, I think it won't be long before he takes the initiative to talk to me.”
"Good, good brother, you're really capable. I admire you.”
"Hehe, aren't you quite capable? You manage three factories alone, much better than me. I couldn't survive in my father's hands anymore, so I ran away from home.”
"Sigh, you're right. How many people envy your background? You're the only son of the Beiping police chief. How good would it be to stay in your father's hands after finishing university in Beiping?”
"I don't like to be busy with that old man. He always says that I'm not doing my job properly. Actually, he doesn't understand.”
"Alright, you can be unique. Perhaps one day, you will really become an official who is even more powerful than your father.”
"That's for sure." After Ya Shuo finished speaking, he laughed and laughed.
"Oh right, Yashuo, there's something I want to ask you. You like to read novels, so you know more about this than me.”Azurepeak suddenly became serious.
"What is it?" Ya Shuo took a sip of coffee and listened attentively.
"At that time, you told me a story about that farmer. Do you think…this kind of thing…is reliable?”
"How would I know? I'm just reading. Who knows if the story is true or not? I've never transmigrated.”
"Since it's written in the story, then there must be such a thing. That's why someone wrote it like this, right?”
"Why are you asking this? Your sister was already very concerned about transmigration during the last meal. Why are you so obsessed today? Don't tell me the two of you decided to travel to the Tang Dynasty and run away?”
"What are you talking about?" Azurepeak glared at him." I'm asking you seriously. Don't joke around."”
"I really don't know. I've read too many books like this. I can't finish telling you for three days and three nights. If you want to find the root of every story, you'll be exhausted. There was really no need to read novels too seriously. Just treat it as killing time. Eh? By the way, you don't seem like someone who cares about this topic. What happened to make you so interested in transmigration?”
Azurepeak did not expect Ya Shuo to ask him this question. He was stunned for a moment and did not know how to answer. Ya Shuo also did not expect that his casual question would cause Azurepeak to be silent. He was also confused. The two of them were silent for a long time. Ya Shuo changed his smile and asked with a serious expression,"Something really happened. You…Did you see a ghost?”
Azurepeak had been struggling to decide if he should tell Ya Shuo about Meng Lin's identity and origins. If he told, it would break his promise to keep his mouth shut. If he didn't tell, his knowledge in this area was not as profound as Ya Shuo's. Azurepeak and his sister really couldn't think of a better way to transmigrate back. Although Ya Shuo had never transmigrated before, with the novels he had read, he might be able to help. Ya Shuo saw Azurepeak ignoring him and frowning as if he was thinking about something. He was also very puzzled, but he was a smart person and did not continue to ask. He only carefully observed Azurepeak's expression and did not miss any subtle changes in his expression. According to Azurepeak's expression, he was conflicted and melancholic, deep in thought and sighing. He estimated that Azurepeak had encountered a problem that he could not solve but was difficult to talk about.
Ya Shuo took a sip of coffee. When he put the coffee cup back, he deliberately made the sound of the cup and the saucer colliding louder than usual to interrupt Azurepeak's thoughts. Azurepeak was also shocked by this sudden voice. He recovered from his thoughts and realized that Ya Shuo was staring at him. He felt a little awkward. After all, the two of them were classmates and good friends for many years. They had a tacit understanding of each other. Ya Shuo broke the silence first."There's no need to be in a hurry to tell me. It's not too late to tell me when you really need me.”Azurepeak felt no pressure when he heard that. He smiled gratefully at Yashuo. The two of them went to talk about something else.
When Azurepeak returned to the mansion at night, he found that the house was dark. He turned on the lights, but there was no one in the house. He called out to Menglin, but no one responded. Where did this girl run off to? She was sitting on the sofa alone. He was the only one in the huge villa. Azurepeak suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of loneliness. Unknowingly, he recalled the first time he saw his sister, who was not related to him by blood, after Meng Lin returned from overseas. He recalled that he had some doubts about this sister at that time, but how he dispelled his doubts. Later on, he could not remember some details clearly. Later on, his sister took the initiative to confess. Too many things had happened in the past few days. This younger sister of unknown origin had suddenly landed in the Xia residence, and there was also the death of her father and Ah Xiang. It was as if everything had been put under a curse. It happened one after another like a ghost. Azurepeak thought for a long time before the ringing of a clock interrupted his thoughts. He turned to look at the ancient clock on the wall and saw that it showed 9:00 sharp. It was already so late. Why wasn't Meng Lin back yet? Where did he go? Did something happen? Thinking of this, Azurepeak couldn't help but worry.
Where was Meng Lin? She was with Grand Wu. Ever since Qingfeng returned, she had left home immediately. She had enjoyed her freedom at home for a while, but she felt too bored, so she wanted to go to the factory to take a look. In the end, she met Master Wu on the street who was going out to finish his business and was about to return to the residence. The moment Master Wu's car brushed past Meng Lin, who was taking a walk, Master Wu immediately recognized the back of the young lady from the Xia family. He turned around and saw that it was indeed Meng Lin, so he stopped the car and called out to her. When Meng Lin saw that it was Master Wu, he didn't think much of it and got into the car. After getting into the car, Master Wu heard that Meng Lin was planning to go to the factory, so he brought her to the factory. When Meng Lin got out of the car, Master Wu did not forget to say," Let's have dinner together. I'll send someone to pick you up."”Before Meng Lin could consider whether he should go or not, Master Wu's chauffeur had already driven off.
Everything in the factory was as usual. Uncle Wang said that there was nothing unusual these few days. It was just that it was already summer, and these agricultural products were now in the off-season. It was the same in the summer of previous years, so there was nothing to make a fuss about. This kind of peanut, melon, seed, and chestnut candy sold especially well during the New Year. The income from the few months before and after the New Year had earned back the principal and interest for the year. The fabric was selling quite well. Because of the change of seasons in summer, many people bought fabric to make clothes, so they made quite a lot of money. Meng Lin specially went to take a look at the jujube wood tobacco pipe. Uncle Wang said that ever since the incident with Master Wu, nothing had happened. Meng Lin had heard Azurepeak say that he had come to the factory as well, but Uncle Wang said that he did not see Young Master. Meng Lin felt a little strange, but he did not ask further. Meng Lin was with Uncle Wang. He looked at the accounts for the past few days and found that there was nothing unusual. The factory was also safe and sound. He was finally relieved. Uncle Wang had always praised the Eldest Miss for being very dedicated, unlike other rich young ladies who only knew how to eat, drink, and enjoy themselves. Meng Lin smiled and didn't say anything else. He was busy at the factory until dinner time. Master Wu's car arrived at the factory entrance on time.
The car pulled Meng Lin to Drunken Immortal Restaurant. The driver brought her to a private room. In the private room, only Master Wu was waiting for Meng Lin. All the food and drinks had been served. Once Meng Lin entered, the chauffeur closed the door behind him.
" Come, come, Miss Xia. Please have a seat." Grand Wu was all smiles as he gestured for Meng Lin to sit opposite him.
"Thank you, Martial Lord." Meng Lin sat down politely.
"What are you talking about? It's my honor to be able to invite Miss Xia.”Martial Lord said as he poured wine into Meng Lin's cup. "Come, Miss Xia, let's have a toast.”
The two of them clinked their glasses." Come, eat. Don't stand on ceremony.”Wu Ye gestured for Meng Lin to eat. After drinking a few cups of wine, the two of them started to talk more. In the past, Meng Lin was a rich young lady in Master Wu's heart, elegant, beautiful, and pure. However, this time, the two of them chatted happily with the help of the wine. Master Wu could not help but look at Xia Menglin in a new light." Aiyaya, I really misjudged her. I didn't expect that not only is Miss Meng Lin beautiful, but she is also full of talent. Not only can she read foreign languages, but she can also dance." Men who do business like us have to find women like you to make a fortune, haha.”Grand Wu felt extremely happy because Xia Menglin was better than he had imagined. "If I have the chance to see Miss Meng Lin's dance, then I'll be really lucky!”,When Meng Lin heard Lord Wu's request, he pushed the boat and said,""Then if we have the chance to meet at the ballroom in the future, I'll definitely live up to your expectations.”Master Wu was overjoyed when he heard that. He immediately called the driver who was waiting outside the door in and arranged for them to go to the Great Shanghai Dance Hall after dinner.
When Meng Lin heard this, he knew that Master Wu was serious. Now that things had turned out this way, he couldn't reject it no matter what, so he had to obey. Besides, there was nothing wrong with being with Master Wu. With her status as the eldest daughter of the Xia family, Master Wu couldn't do anything to her.
After dinner, at the Grand Shanghai Song and Dance Hall. Grand Wu went straight to the point and invited Meng Lin to dance a song. Meng Lin was quite generous. One look and one could tell that she was a woman who had seen the world. She and Grand Wu danced a fast-paced song with great rapport. Grand Wu looked at the little beauty in front of him, and his eyes were obviously filled with admiration for her. Meng Lin was not a fool, so she could naturally feel it. However, she pretended not to know and only respected Grand Wu as an elder. The dance hall was too lively. There were also many financial tycoons and business geniuses who came to play. They were all around the age of Master Wu. Master Wu also introduced the little beauty beside him to a few influential figures in society. When everyone saw that she was Master Wu's friend, they naturally respected her. Coupled with her beauty, extraordinary temperament, and highly-educated conversation, those successful men also liked and admired her. Meng Lin enjoyed being respected by others, especially the rich. This was what she had always wanted before she transmigrated. Who knew that she did not have the time to get it in the 21st century? It was just that she accidentally transmigrated and changed her identity. All the glory and wealth she dreamed of came with it. She could not help but feel that life was really like a drama.
