Jiang Xinyu: "Lei Ban, let me advise you to stop drinking."
Ray-Ban: “Why?”
"After drinking, you talk freely without any scruples. Do you know what it means to have trouble come out of your mouth?"
"I didn't tell anyone...why, you're going to send me to the gendarmerie just because I said a few grumbling words?"
Jiang Xinyu raised his glass and clinked it with Ray-Ban, and said: "It's not that serious. I just want to remind you to say as little as possible. If it reaches the ears of the Japanese, I can't protect you!"
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid..."
As soon as the door lock rang, Xiao Taohong opened the door and walked in. She didn't even have time to say hello and went straight into the bedroom.
"Why are you back? The game is over?" Lei Ban asked loudly.
Xiao Taohong held a stack of large-denomination banknotes in her hand, stuffed them into her bag as she walked, and said: "Sister Yun thinks it's too small. Mrs. Liu goes back to withdraw the money. I will also take more. It would be embarrassing if I lose all."
.”
"Ren Xiaoyun is back?" Lei Pen brought a plate of fried dumplings over and said, "Eat a few dumplings before we go!"
Thinking that Mrs. Liu's home was far away and she would have to wait a while before she could come back, Xiao Taohong sat down. Now it was time to eat, and she felt a little hungry.
Lei Ban took a sip of wine and said, "Ren Xiaoyun is a casino veteran, so be careful!"
Xiao Taohong said unconvinced and angrily: "She is a veteran? I went to the card table when I was twelve years old. I haven't seen anyone before. I will be afraid of her? Oh!"
Jiang Xinyu chatted casually and said, "Is Ren Xiaoyun good at playing cards?"
Xiao Taohong: "Captain Jiang, don't listen to Lei Pen bragging for her. Among the concubines in the Yuan Mansion, Sister Yun is actually a master. In front of me, huh, she is still a little bit behind.
!”
Jiang Xinyu: "Yuan Mansion? Which Yuan Mansion?"
"That's President Yuan Wenkui and President Yuan..." Xiao Taohong put down her chopsticks and said, "Captain Jiang, eat slowly and drink slowly. I'm going to play cards."
"Don't play too late!" Ray-Ban warned from behind.
"Don't worry, I'll definitely be back before dinner!" Xiao Taohong's voice disappeared outside the door.
Jiang Xinyu: "What is the relationship between Ren Xiaoyun and Yuan Wenkui?"
Lei Pen took a sip of wine and said: "She is Yuan Wenkui's fifth concubine. Her mother's family lives nearby. She can come back once or twice a month. She can't stay at home for more than ten minutes. She always comes out to play cards."
"oh……"
As soon as the door opened, Xiao Taohong walked in gloomily, sat down on the sofa, and threw her satchel aside.
Ray-Ban asked strangely: "Why are you back again?"
Xiao Taohong looked unhappy and said: "Mrs. Liu said there was something going on at home, so the card game broke up without even playing!"
Lei Ban said comfortingly: "Then why are you angry? You still don't allow others to have trouble at home?"
Xiao Taohong said contemptuously: "There is something going on at home. I am obviously afraid of losing and dare not play. I am just looking for excuses..."
"Tuk Tuk, Tuk Tuk!" There was a knock on the door.
"Who is it? The door is unlocked, come in!" Xiao Taohong was annoyed and too lazy to get up and open the door.
A woman pushed open the door and walked in. She seemed to be about twenty-five or six years old. She was quite handsome, but she had an indifferent air about her.
"Sister Yun? Please come in quickly." Xiao Taohong stood up quickly and came over.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were at home, so I came over to sit for a while. I didn't know you had guests at home." Ren Xiaoyun said with an apologetic face.
"It's okay, you also know my husband..." Xiao Taohong pulled Ren Xiaoyun in.
After saying hello to Lei Ban, Ren Xiaoyun looked at Jiang Xinyu and said, "Peach red girl, who is this gentleman?"
Xiao Taohong introduced both parties, and then entered the bedroom with Ren Xiaoyun.
Lei Ban took a mouthful of food and whispered: "Xin Yu, do you see, women are like this, they just made a person worthless, and then they turn around like sisters!"
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Yes, a woman's heart is as deep as the sea."
After finishing a bottle of wine and chatting for a while, Jiang Xinyu stood up to leave. Lei Ban said to the bedroom: "Taohong, come out and give Xinyu a gift!"
The bedroom door opened, and Ren Xiaoyun walked out and said, "I won't disturb you anymore."
Xiao Taohong said to Ren Xiaoyun: "Sister Yun, why are you in a hurry? Sit down for a while."
Ren Xiaoyun: "I suddenly remembered that I forgot to go to Canal Road to pick up the newly made cheongsam, and I have to attend a wedding banquet tomorrow."
Xiao Taohong thought for a moment and said: "Captain Jiang, are you passing by Canal Road when you go home? If it's convenient, I can see Sister Yun off."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said, "Even if you are not on your way, it is still appropriate to give him a send."
Ren Xiaoyun's eyes flashed and she said, "Thank you."
After going out and getting in the car, Jiang Xinyu asked: "Mrs. Yuan, which store on Yunhe Road are you going to?"
"Zhou Ji Western Clothes."
The car sped towards Canal Road.
Ren Xiaoyun took out a tin box of cigarettes from her bag and said, "Captain Jiang, do you want to smoke?"
"no thanks."
"Captain Jiang, I've heard of you." Ren Xiaoyun lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "Am I famous in Yanjin?"
"Your girlfriend is the sister of Major Hattori of the Military Police. Many people know this."
"I didn't expect that I would be famous for this." Jiang Xinyu smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Captain Jiang, it is fate that we met today. I hope we will become very good friends in the future."
"Last year, I heard that a guy who was friends with Chairman Yuan's concubine suddenly became lame one day."
"You are the captain of the detective team, but you are also afraid of Yuan Wenkui?"
"This is not a matter of fear or not. I have no reason to offend President Yuan."
Ren Xiaoyun was silent for a while and said: "I have a younger sister who is only 15 years old this year."
Jiang Xinyu said nothing. Not far ahead was the Zhou Ji Western Clothing Store. He slowly parked the car on the side of the road.
Ren Xiaoyun did not get out of the car, she put out the cigarette and threw it out the window. After thinking about it, she lit another one, took two irritated puffs, and then put it out again and threw it out.
Jiang Xinyu raised his wrist to glance at his watch and said, "Mrs. Yuan, you're here."
Ren Xiaoyun sat still, and after a while she slowly said: "My sister is so young and still studying, but, but, Yuan Wenkui, this beast, said that he will marry my sister as his eighth aunt on the eighth day of the lunar month next month!"
Jiang Xinyu felt strange. He and Ren Xiaoyun had just met, and they were not even ordinary friends. Why was she suddenly saying this?
Ren Xiaoyun continued: "Captain Jiang, you are the fourth person I have begged. The first three were all timid and fearful cowards. They could do nothing except be interested in my body!"
Jiang Xinyu understood a little bit and said: "Mrs. Yuan..."
"Don't call me Mrs. Yuan!"
"What on earth do you want to do?"
"I want to ask you to save my sister, she is still a child..." Ren Xiaoyun wiped her tears, looked at Jiang Xinyu with burning eyes, and said: "As long as you can help me accomplish this, I will do anything you want!
"
Jiang Xinyu sighed and said: "This kind of thing happens every day in Yanjin and all over China. I can only say that I sympathize with you, but I can't help you!"
Ren Xiaoyun shed tears and said: "You are the detective captain, you must have many ways, I beg you..."
Jiang Xinyu shook his head and said: "I'm not familiar with Chairman Yuan. He wants to marry his concubine. How can I still say that he doesn't allow it? Furthermore, your family can disagree. He is a big shot with a good reputation. How can I say that he doesn't allow it?"
