Xu Beishan's displeasure was revealed on his face. With his identity and status, he was still willing to act like a family and talk to his junior nephew. But Luo Lie actually threatened himself. He said he was disrespectful since he was a child. From an adult, he really considered himself very high and thought he could negotiate on an equal footing with him.

Xu Beishan had the urge to get angry, but he finally managed to control it, not because he thought of the master's kindness, but because he realized a reality that Jiale was his favorite son. If there is another person in this world that he really cares about and is worthy of his giving of everything or even giving of his life, this person can only be Jiale.

For his son, he could only choose to tolerate. After a brief anger, Xu Beishan immediately burst out laughing. His laughter drove away the dark clouds like the sun. His expression looked very cheerful and friendly, but Luo Lie saw his hatred for himself from his condensed gaze.

Luo Lie didn't care about Xu Beishan's feelings. He transformed from a young man who was nuggeting to a powerful official in Manchuria to a great servant. Only Xu Beishan himself knew how many hardships he had experienced. The achievements he had today were not achieved by hard work and luck alone. Without superman's first-class scheming and means, he could not do it at all.

At the beginning, Luo Lie originally expected that the affection of the master's sect could play some role. Xu Beishan Nian's relationship with his grandfather's master-disciple might give him such face and give him a face to Liu Honggen. But after the last time he met, Luo Lie realized that it was useless at all.

Since feelings are useless and money is useless, we can only use the method of value exchange. Fortunately, Luo Lie knew what Xu Beishan valued. He picked up the coffee on a few, smelled it, and then took a sip slowly and said, "The coffee is good."

Xu Beishan said: "No matter what you drink, it has to do with your mood."

Luo Lie said: "That's true."

Xu Beishan was still thinking about it. He took out a cigar, Luo Lie walked over, and helped him light it very considerately. Xu Beishan said: "The crime cannot be cleared, but if a person dies, there will be no trouble."

Luo Lie nodded and said, "I can guarantee that they will disappear completely and will not leave you any trouble."

Xu Beishan really admires this nephew. No wonder he was able to become the leader of the thief sect at such a young age. His words just now were obscure enough, and he could hear it clearly. Luo Lie's completely disappearance was definitely not about killing those subordinates, otherwise he would not come to negotiate terms with him.

Liu Honggen and others did not expect that they would have a chance to go out alive, which was directly related to Luo Lie's efforts. Xu Beishan agreed to Luo Lie's conditions and found several scapegoats among the death row prisoners, and asked someone to shoot them. In fact, the most important thing in this kind of thing is an explanation. The dead Japanese businessman Kazuo Sato died normally, not a murder at all, but the Japanese side wanted to deal with the Manchurian branch of the thief.

After Liu Honggen and his men were released, they immediately left Manchuria. Although they escaped by chance this time, it was impossible for them to set foot on Manchuria again in a short period of time.

Luo Lie kept his promise and waited in Fengtian for a few days, and returned home from the hotel where he was visiting in Peking. He was very happy to see Luo Lie.

Now Jiale has become a tall and strong young man. He enthusiastically called Luo Lie the eldest brother. Thinking of the fat boy he first met, he surrounded him and kept calling his uncle. Luo Lie couldn't help but sigh that time was passing by.

This time, Jiale returned to China not because he was successful in his studies. In fact, this kid has not made any achievements in his studies. He has been in North America for a few years and can't even speak a decent English. Instead, he has learned a good Western boxing.

According to the normal return time, he should have gone back to school now, but he refused to go and found countless excuses to stay in China. Xu Beishan has always been doting on him and could not persuade him, so he had to stay in China. Xu Beishan agreed to Luo Lie's conditions, and added another condition. He asked Luo Lie to help persuade his son to go back to school quickly. Although this kid has not been back for a long time, he has many disasters. In addition, Xu Beishan has many enemies. After his son is in China for a day, he has to ensure his son's safety. He has consumed a lot of police force for this. Although he cares about his son, his son does not appreciate it. Instead, he says he restricts his freedom.

Luo Lie said: "Why don't you go back to school?"

Jiale smiled and said, "It was my father who asked you to help me persuade me?"

Luo Lie smiled unanimously.

Jiale said: "Why don't he read it by himself if he likes reading so much?"

Luo Lie said: "Who is not looking for his son to become a good person? He has done all his efforts to you, so you must not let it go."

Jiale said: "I understand the great principles, but I just can't read books. As long as I read books, I will have a headache."

Luo Lie said: "Is there a big headache?"

Jiale nodded and said, "Awesome!"

Luo Lie asked him to sleep, hypnotize him, and helped him check his brain area. Jiale's headache should be the sequelae left by Feng Jiuqing's collection of the Black Sun Forbidden Code in his brain area. It took a certain amount of time to completely repair it.

The news that Luo Lie appeared in Manchuria reached Huangpu. When he first heard the news, Chen Haodong was skeptical. He first felt that the possibility was not high. After all, Luo Lie had been missing for too long. According to his knowledge, Luo Lie should have died together with Feng Jiuqing in the West Sea.

But as more and more news came, and some people said that when they saw Luo Lie in Manchuria, Chen Haodong believed it a little, and he felt uneasy. Luo Lie is still the leader of the sect of the thief. If he really needs to come back, it is very likely that his purpose of regaining power will be disappointed.

Since Chang Chai mysteriously disappeared, the entire Huangpu branch has been in a state of no leader. Many of the children of the former thief have joined Liang Zaijun. Because Liang Zaijun was also expelled from the thief at the beginning, on the surface, he has nothing to do with the thief at the time.

Liang Zaijun opened a martial arts hall called Zhenwumen in the public concession. Because he had good martial arts skills, he accepted a lot of disciples under his sect.

If it wasn't for the important matter, Chen Haodong would not take the initiative to come. Liang Zaijun invited Chen Haodong to the backyard. From his frown brow, it was obvious that he was in a bad mood. In Liang Zaijun's opinion, there was no worries now. A few thorns in their side were eliminated by them, or left Huangpu, they had a good relationship with the upper class of the concession, and the most important thing was that they found a backer.

Liang Zaijun said, "Mr. Chen has something to give?" He knew that Chen Haodong would go to the Three Treasures Hall without any trouble, and he probably had a task to him.

Chen Haodong sighed and said, "Have you heard about Luo Lie?"

Liang Zaijun said: "I heard that recently there was news that he appeared in Manchuria, saying it was a slight and eye-catching person, but I have always heard it as false, and seeing it as true. If I haven't seen it with my own eyes, who knows the truth or false?"

Chen Haodong said: "The fake one cannot be true, the real one cannot be false."

Liang Zaijun said: "I think this matter is probably fake. Luo Lie has been missing for more than three years. He left with Feng Jiuqing and was said to have disappeared in the West Sea. For this matter, I specially sent someone to inquire. Luo Lie and Feng Jiuqing entered the West Sea together, but after entering, they couldn't come up again. I can be sure of this matter and there will be no mistake."

Chen Haodong said: "There are exceptions in everything, and your news may not be true."

Liang Zaijun said: "It should be no mistake. Think about it, if Luo Lie was alive, how could it not appear for so long? I think this matter is probably someone deliberately making news to create chaos inside the thief. Maybe it's the Sparrows."

Chen Haodongdao: "It is not necessarily a cause for nothing."

Liang Zaijun said: "Don't say that Luo Lie is already dead, even if he is alive, he can't make any waves. The old guy who supports him is dead. The Huangpu branch is useless. Chang Chai and his forces have been completely eliminated by us. The entire south of the Yangtze River is already under your actual control. As for the Manchurian branch, Liu Honggen and his backbone forces have been shot, and the thief has also been identified as an illegal organization by the local government. What kind of waves can the remaining shrimp soldiers and crab generals cause?"

Chen Haodongdao: "Don't forget the iron handwritten warrant."

Liang Zaijun said: "What era is it? Iron handwritten may have some effect when it comes to shocking young people who are unaware and courageous. In fact, how many people in the sect have seen iron handwritten with their own eyes? As long as I think, I can make hundreds of them at any time." Perhaps because I think this sentence is a bit too big, Liang Zaijun smiled and said: "You are the authentic direct descendants. Who doesn't know that you are qualified to serve as the leader of the sect? You were harmed by a traitor back then."

Chen Haodong heard that he was right. Yes, it was a time since he was, and he might only care about the iron handwritten warrant. If he hadn't been obsessed with finding the iron handwritten warrant, he might have become the leader of the sect long ago, which is of course related to Uncle Fu's opposition.

Chen Haodong said: "Since there is news, we can't be too careless."

Liang Zaijun saw his uneasiness, probably because he was scared by Luo Lie back then, but he was still scared. He nodded and said, "Mr. Chen, I will send additional staff to the train station and dock immediately. As long as he appears in Huangpu, I will grasp his movements as soon as possible."

At this time, Luo Lie was sitting on the train heading south, and Liu Honggen and Ge Lide were also leaving with him. Both of them were in charge of the Manchurian branch and were also arrested and imprisoned for suspected murder of Japanese businessman Kazuo Sato.

All three of them put on makeup. For their industry, disguise was common, not to mention Luo Lie, the high-ranking master of Fu, they all put on makeup and became an old man in his sixties. Ge Lide was also a master of forging documents, and used his forged documents to successfully board the train.

After the train passed Shanhaiguan, Liu Honggen found that there were many thieves on the station. Their eyes were very poisonous, especially their own people, and they could basically see through it at a glance. Liu Honggen lowered his voice and told Luo Lie about this situation, which he felt unusual.

Luo Lie smiled disapprovingly and said, "There is no airtight wall in the world, and some people definitely don't want me to go back to Huangpu."

Liu Honggen said: "I caused trouble for the gentleman." This was also their prior agreement, and the title of the sect leader will no longer be called on the road.

Luo Lie smiled faintly. At this time, a passenger police came to check the ticket documents. The tickets for the three of them were all real, but the documents were fake. Ge Lide handed over the documents while coughing. The passenger police glanced at him and returned them to him, but there was no flaw at all.

Liu Honggen deliberately said in a Jiaonan accent: "Sir, you haven't just checked it, why are you going to check it again?"

The flight attendant glared at him and said, "A wanted criminal has crept into the car."

Liu Honggen smiled and said, "We are all good people."

The flight attendant cut and said, "Just because of you, I'm afraid you don't have the ability to kill people." He took the checked ID and ticket in Liu Honggen's hands.

The flight attendant was about to continue checking down, but he heard an angry rebuke from behind: "Rogue, you take advantage of me!" Then he remembered a loud slap. Everyone looked at it and found a conflict between a man and a woman in the passage behind. The two flight attendant were attracted by their movements and walked over to stop it. At this time, a man wearing a top hat came to sit between Luo Lie and Liu Honggen and squeezed and sat down. Liu Honggen was about to speak, but the man made a gesture. Liu Honggen was stunned. What this person showed was the gesture unique to the thief.

Liu Honggen stood up, and the man took the opportunity to move towards the window. Luo Lie also stood up and pretended to be watching the fun, but in fact he was covering the man who suddenly joined. They had already seen that the two men and women in conflict were in the same group as this person. The reason why they made a fuss was to attract the attention of the flight attendant so that the man had enough time to hide.

A passenger policeman came from the next carriage. They stopped the conflict between the men and women and continued to check the tickets. Because they had just checked Luo Lie, they did not look at it anymore and passed by the suspicious man.

After the flight attendant left, the man in a top hat smiled at Luo Lie and said, "Thank you!"

Liu Honggen said: "On the west?"

The man said: "The Huang family of Labokou."

Liu Honggen nodded. He had confirmed that the man was a thief.

The man avoided the inspection and did not stay for a long time, so he immediately moved to the next carriage.

Liu Honggen whispered to Luo Lie: "It should be from Xiliang. Unlike this one, they mainly take it." Theft and take it in the thief are different. Theft is to steal other people's property without the object's awareness, and the take it is much more brutal. Simply put, it is to block the road and rob the family and rob. Although it was one of the thiefs in the past, it was no longer under the control of the thiefs in the late Qing Dynasty, and it would not participate in the affairs of the thiefs.

The journey was not peaceful. Not only did the passenger police frequently check, but they were also robbed by car when passing through Shandong. However, no one doubted the identity of Luo Lie and the other two. They finally arrived in Huangpu without any danger while riding this staggering train.

According to Luo Lie's intention, there was no need for Liu Honggen and Ge Lide to follow him to Huangpu. After all, they had just escaped from trouble and should have a good rest, but they insisted on coming because they were trying to find out the truth about their framedness. What's more, Uncle Fu's autopsy results show that the old man was killed, and if this revenge is not avenged, they will be indignant.

They felt a strange atmosphere as soon as they got off the train. There were many disciples of thieves wandering around the train station. In fact, the train stations in various places are places where thieves often appear. After all, the traffic here is large, making it easy to steal. But even so, Liu Honggen was shocked by the number of thieves disciples here. There were at least hundreds of thieves disciples wandering back and forth at a railway station. Liu Honggen believed that these people were most likely coming for Luo Lie, and they should have received the news that Luo Lie might return to Huangpu in advance.

Although the train station has arranged hundreds of people, so many people still turn a blind eye to Luo Lie and the other two, and none of them can see through their original identities.

That night, the three of them successfully arrived at Chaoyang Hotel in the public concession. This place is not far from Yupu Wharf, which is Luoli's industry. In the past, Luoli often came here and personally participated in the reconstruction of Yupu Wharf, so he is very familiar with this area.

Luo Lie did not check in here, but went directly to the French Concession to visit the French Consul Monpero.

When Monpero heard Luo Lie’s visit, he thought he had heard it wrong. After confirming it repeatedly, he looked at the visiting letter again. Only then did he believe that Luo Lie, who had been missing for three years, was really back. Monpero and Luo Lie had a relationship in the past, which was first due to his teacher-student relationship with Ye Qinghong. Later, because the couple was doing business in Huangpu, Monpero gave some care, and of course he also gained a lot of benefits from it. That period can be said to be mutually beneficial.

However, Monpero did not expect Ye Qinghong to have so much black material, and used these black material to threaten him, forcing him to release Cheng Yufei. Monpero thought that this matter had come to an end for the time being, but he did not expect Luo Lie to come to the door again.

The first idea that Monpero had was that Luo Lie came to threaten him again, and he couldn't help but feel depressed in his heart. Since Ye Qinghong took out the black material, it was impossible for them to be friends anymore, but Monpero did not dare to offend the couple. After all, the handle is in the hands of others. If they break up, they will be the one who is unlucky.

The more people with status like Monpero, the more they cherish their feathers. Reputation is more important than anything else.

Luo Lie has recovered his original appearance. He doesn't need to hide anything when he comes to Huangpu. He has made full preparations for this time.

Monpero still maintained his graceful demeanor. He warmly greeted him and stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Luo, I haven't heard from you for a long time. Where have you been in the past few years? I miss you so much."

Luo Lie shook hands with him with a smile and said, "Thank you, Mr. Consul, for your concern. I have just returned to Huangpu today. Now, I will come to visit you, my old friend as soon as possible."

Monpero laughed and said, "It's rare that you didn't forget me, why? Mrs. Zun didn't come with you?" From the name, he could see his dissatisfaction with Ye Qinghong.

Luo Lie said: "She has returned to Europe."

"Oh?" Monpero became more and more shocked when he heard the news. He really worried about it in China. If Ye Qinghong announced his black materials, then he might not be able to do the consul. In fact, he didn't have much nostalgia for his current position. After all, he would be able to retire in one month. Because of this, he did not want to lose his integrity in his later years.

Luo Liedao: "The sofa is good."

Monpero then remembered that he had not invited him to sit down yet. He was a little rude. He apologized: "I was just happy and forgot to invite the guests to sit down. Please sit down!"

After Luo Lie sat down, Monpero asked someone to make a pot of French black tea.

Luo Lie came empty-handed this time, and there was no need to give gifts to people like Monpero. According to Ye Qinghong, not making his black material public was already a great favor.

Monpero crossed his legs and drank a sip of black tea, saying, "Mr. Luo, is there anything wrong with you coming to me today?"

Seeing that he asked so directly, Luo Lie also answered straightforwardly: "I'm not hiding it to you, Mr. Consul, I really need your help in some things."

Monpero said: "Mr. Luo, I am Mrs. Zun's teacher, and we are also friends. For this relationship, I will definitely do my best to help. But I will return to China in more than a month, and a new consul will soon take over my responsibilities, so I may not be able to give you the help you want."

Luo Liedao: "Will the Consul continue to work in politics after returning to China?"

Monpero shook his head and said, "I'm tired of it. It's time for me to consider retirement and enjoy a happy life."

Luo Lie Road: "We have a winery on the shore of Lake Lemon."

Monpero said: "I went to be a passerby, and I still feel very intoxicated when I think about it."

Luo Liedao: "Don't the Consul consider going there to stay there?"

Monpero smiled and said, "Why are you so embarrassed to always bother you?"

Luo Liedao: "I mean that the Consul can be the owner of that winery."

Monpero was shocked. Luo Lie was bribing himself. This person was so generous that he actually wanted to give him a winery. But Monpero quickly woke up. There were always conspiracies for good things about pies falling from the sky. But then he thought that he had already had a lot of black materials caught by Ye Qinghong. If he wanted to achieve his goal, they could threaten themselves and not make bribes.

Luo Lie said: "I can't stay in Huangpu for too long. I came back this time mainly because I thought about something."

Monpero looked at Luo Lie suspiciously.

Luo Lie said: "To be honest, Qinghong and I have made plans to move to North America, and we have decided to sell that winery."

Monpero said: "How long are you going to stay in Huangpu?"

Luo Liedao: "It's up to three months."

Monpero said: "A month and a half, before the end of my term, I will try my best to keep you safe."

Luo Liedao: "Can the Consul General give me the identity of inspector general?"

Monpero nodded without hesitation at all.

Luo Lie smiled and reached out to Monpero. The two shook hands and laughed with understanding.

At this time, the Inspector Wang Jinmin came to ask for a meeting, and Monpero said, "It's just right, I'll introduce you to you."

Wang Jinmin and Luo Lie had actually known each other for a long time, but in the past, Luo Lie was more involved in dealing with Inspector Liu. Wang Jinmin was just an deputy of Inspector Liu. At that time, Luo Lie rarely talked to him. He met Luo Lie at the consul's house. When he saw the two chatting and laughing, Wang Jinmin immediately realized that Luo Lie had just returned had found a backer. In the French Concession, Monpero was the one who was the only one to speak. Although his term of office was about to expire, the more he would apply the power at hand to the extreme, and this was true in the officialdom of China and abroad.

Monpero introduced Wang Jinmin, and Wang Jinmin quickly stepped forward to show kindness and said, "Mr. Luo, we have known each other in the past, but we haven't seen each other in the past few years. I wonder where Mr. Luo will make a fortune?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "I like to take risks by nature. In the past three years, I have been going to adventure around the world and have not been back to China."

Wang Jinmin said: "Mr. Luo's life is really enviable."

Luo Lie said: "I came back this time mainly to deal with some business matters, and I will have to rely on Inspector Wang to take care of him in the future."

Wang Jinmin smiled and said, "Where is where, it is my responsibility to protect the safety of citizens in the concession."

Luo Lie said: "When I saw Inspector Wang, I remembered something. At the end of last year, my house in the concession was attacked and blown up. I wonder if Inspector Wang had any clues?"

When asked about this in front of Monpero, Wang Jinmin couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He coughed dryly and said, "I'm still investigating. Many people died that day, but the deceased was burned beyond recognition. It was really a bit tricky."

Monpero said: "You acting detective is much worse than your ex in handling cases."

Wang Jinmin's face was even more unstoppable.
