Chapter 13: Exquisitely carved, see the wise and think together
Linglong also saw Xu Siqi and Zheng Zheng, her face immediately turned cold, and she said to Yu Rong: "Let's change seats."
Yu Rong was confused: "Why do you need to change seats?"
Linglong was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.
Yu Rong looked around and saw that in seat 17 there was a strong man in black with a face full of flesh and blood. On the other hand, Xu Siqi in seat 14 was much more pleasing to the eye. He was handsome and handsome with an elegant demeanor.
Yu Rong thought for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, "Linglong, I understand, you don't want to sit next to that person, right?"
Linglong had preconceptions in her mind, thinking that "that person" mentioned by Yu Rong was of course referring to Xu Siqi.
"Okay, I'll sit here and you sit over there, is that okay?" Yu Rong took the initiative to sit in seat 16, leaving seat 15 to Linglong.
Seeing that the play was about to start, Linglong had no choice but to sit down.
Xu Siqi thought for a while and whispered: "Miss, what happened at Songzhuzhai this afternoon was our fault. I formally apologize to you."
Seeing that Xu Siqi's attitude was sincere, and it wasn't a big deal in the first place, Linglong was not rude, so she nodded slightly in response.
Xu Siqi took the paper bag, took out the book, and said, "I bought this book, if you still want it..."
Seeing the two of them whispering, Yu Rong was very surprised. She pointed at Xu Siqi and then at Linglong and said, "Do you know each other?"
Linglong was a little embarrassed. It was definitely wrong to say she didn't know each other, and it seemed inappropriate to say she knew her. After all, the two of them were strangers a minute ago.
Seeing that Linglong was silent, Yurong rolled her eyes and said to Xu Siqi: "My name is Chen Yurong, I haven't asked for advice."
Xu Siqi said politely: "Hello, Miss Chen, my surname is Xu, Xu Siqi."
"Siqi? Which two words?"
"Thoughts are in order."
"Oh, I see, your name comes from the idiom "Seeing the wise and thinking of others together, right?"
"Yes."
"Exquisite and translucent, you will always think of others when you see a good person. Miss Gu is exquisite and translucent, and Mr. Xu will think of you when he sees a good person! Linglong, have you noticed that your and Mr. Xu's names are very similar?" Chen Yurong said pretending to be surprised.
Gu Linglong suddenly blushed with embarrassment and whispered: "Yu Rong, what are you talking about? He and I have just met, and they are not even friends..."
Chen Yurong said with a smile: "I was just joking, why are you nervous? Could it be..."
Gu Linglong was so anxious that she didn't have time to think carefully, so she reached out and blocked Chen Yurong's mouth, fearing that she would say something that would make her even more embarrassed.
They were whispering among girls, and Xu Siqi kept staring at Amao and Shengzi.
"Seriously, I need to go to the bathroom." Seeing Amao and Shengzi getting up to leave, Xu Siqi followed them.
He turned around and took a look solemnly, and said to himself: "How come this is a place where you go to the bathroom on the left and go to the bathroom on the right? Did you drink too much tea?"
On Xu Siqi's seat was the manuscript of "The Story of the Stone".
Chen Yurong's sharp eyes caught sight of the cover of the book. She immediately reached for it, flipped through two pages and said, "Linglong, look, look, look, the manuscript of "The Story of the Stone", haven't you been looking for this book?"
"
…………
The door of the power distribution room.
Shengzi took out the key and opened the lock. She couldn't help but look back and saw Amao standing at the corner to guard her from a distance. This made her somewhat relieved.
The power distribution room was dark. Shengzi turned on the flashlight in his hand, and a bright beam of light shone on the switch.
Shengzi groped in his arms for a while, took out something like an iron coil, and murmured: "Hang it on the electric switch, and it will cut off the power in ten minutes. Is this thing so amazing?"
A voice behind him replied: "It won't take ten minutes."
"No way? Didn't the boss say... who?" Shengzi thought it was Amao who had slipped in at first, but when she heard the voice, she felt something was wrong and hurriedly looked back.
Xu Siqi snatched the flashlight with his hands. Before Shengzi could resist, a big hand had already pinched his neck tightly, and then the dazzling flashlight light shone on him.
"Brother, I have something to say... I have something to say, I, I can't get angry anymore..." The sound coming from Shengzi's throat was even difficult for him to listen to.
Xu Siqi said: "Don't worry, you won't die. Now, let me ask you, if you dare to play tricks with me..."
As he spoke, he tightened his hands a little.
Shengzi couldn't breathe, and he was so scared that he didn't die directly. He was so frightened that he kept talking and gesticulating to promise not to play any tricks.
Xu Siqi relaxed a little and asked, "Who asked you to do this?"
"Yes, it was the boss who asked me..."
"Zhang Xiaolin?"
"yes."
"Why would he do this?"
"The boss said that he had a feud with Huang Yaofa and made trouble for him to vent his anger."
"Are you venting your anger? Is there anyone who vents their anger like this? There are nearly four to five hundred people in the theater. If the electric switch here is turned off, it will inevitably cause chaos. If not, people will be killed. Do you know!"
Shengzi said with a bitter face: "I can't help it. Please tell Mr. Huang to spare me this time. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a child who eats rice..."
"Shut up!" Xu Siqi scolded in a low voice.
The boss behind the Golden Theater was actually Huang Yaofa, and Shengzi also misunderstood and thought Xu Siqi was Huang Yaofa's subordinate.
Anyone who joins a gang knows that if an opponent catches him doing something like this, he will have his hands and feet cut off, or he will be thrown directly into the Huangpu River to feed the fish.
Today, there are four most powerful figures in the Shanghai Youth Gang, Du Wenlong, Huang Yaofa, Zhang Xiaolin, plus Ji Yunqing.
It is said that they are all the bosses of the Youth Gang and should be united as one, but in fact this is not the case.
As the saying goes, wherever there are people, there will be grudges.
These people seem to be inseparable from each other, but they fight openly and covertly behind the scenes. No one obeys anyone. Among them, the conflict between Huang Yaofa and Zhang Xiaolin is the deepest.
Therefore, the statement of Shengzi is logically tenable.
Xu Siqi opened the door, dragged Amao in who was lying at the door, and took out a round object from his pocket.
Xu Siqi knew that this was a Japanese-style smoke bomb. It originally had a Japanese logo on it, but someone had torn it off in advance.
That iron coil is actually a special tool for spies. As long as it is placed on an exposed electric switch, within ten minutes, the voltage load will gradually increase, eventually causing the electric switch to explode and cause a power outage.
It's no use even if the electrician comes, it's impossible to fix it in a short time.
As soon as there is a power outage here, Amao will immediately throw the smoke bomb into the dark theater. The choking white phosphorus smoke will intensify people's panic.
In such an environment, you can imagine what will happen. There will be a disorderly scramble, and the number of casualties will be astonishing!
The problem is, Zhang Xiaolin is just a gang member, how can he have such special tools for spies?
Moreover, if something really happened, not only would the concession authorities not let him go, but the Nationalist Government would also definitely pursue it to the end.
Could it be said that Zhang Xiaolin is not afraid?
