Shili Yangchang

No matter how chaotic and turbulent the outside world is, the big world has always been singing and dancing. This is a fallen paradise that numbs the soul in that turbulent era.Dashang/Shanghai in Shiliyangchang is also the best safe haven in the vast land of China, which is precarious. No matter how fierce the war in the north is, men and women who are keen on enjoying should maintain their wonderful lives.

It was the first time for Wang Yao to enter such an entertainment venue as a guest. There were high-nosed and deep-eyed Westerners everywhere, arrogant Chinese/Chinese rich people, and arrogant and cold Japanese/people.Subconsciously holding Al's arm tightly, Al's calm demeanor reassured him a little.

A glamorous brunette walked up to Al with champagne: "Hey, isn't this dear little Al? I heard that Miss Kirkland broke off your engagement with you. How does it feel to be dumped for the first time?"

Al burst out with an elegant and charming smile: "An irrational lady made a wrong choice, leaving better opportunities for other girls, such as the one in front of me—the most beautiful Elizabeth!"

The brown-haired girl laughed out loud, and it was difficult for Wang Yao to accept a woman laughing so recklessly, but he had to admit that Elizabeth was very attractive.

"I'm honored, but Gilbert will kill you," Elizabeth winked. "For the safety of little Al, I'd better leave this opportunity to the young lady beside you!" She said rushing Wang Yao put on a playful grimace, which made Wang Yao's face feel hot.

Wang Yao half hid behind Al, tugged on Al's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "How long will it take? Where is Wanwan?"

Al pulled him out from behind: "Honda Chrysanthemum usually arrives late, so be natural, unless you deliberately want to attract people's attention!" Wang Yao's twisted look seemed extremely abnormal in the crowd.In order not to arouse suspicion, Al arranged for Wang Yao to sit down in a corner: "Wait here for a while, I will deal with those annoying guys." He said and took a glass of red wine and put it in Wang Yao's hand, Do courtesy entertainment alone.Wang Yao sat uncomfortably on the high-end sofa, subconsciously downed a glass of red wine, and finally eased a little embarrassment.

"You get drunk easily when you drink like this." A polite but blunt voice reminded him.

Surprised, Wang Yao raised his head, and saw a tall young man standing upright with a serious expression, and his blond hair combed back meticulously.He didn't know how to answer, so he could only put down his glass in embarrassment.

"My name is Ludwig Beschmidt, can I sit down?" The young man introduced himself, his expression still stern and serious, making Wang Yao feel like a child who made a mistake facing Mr. Xuetang.

"Yes... yes." Wang Yao avoided Ludwig's strong gaze.

Luther sat across from him: "Are you Mr. Jones' companion? I seem to have seen you somewhere. Are you a movie actor?"

"No..." Wang Yao couldn't lie, he felt terrified that Luther had discovered something, maybe Luther was also at Paramount the day he killed someone.

"With all due respect, I think you must have been to some entertainment venues, such as Paramount?" Luther asked persistently.

Wang Yao's heart was suddenly cold, and he forced himself not to tremble with his strong will, but he couldn't answer Luther's question.

"Luther, you are so disrespectful to treat a beautiful woman like this!" A joking voice interrupted at the right time, and the person with a pair of amethyst eyes said, "Don't frighten this lovely lady, she is not only Mr. Jones A companion of mine, and a good friend of mine, and I've been hoping to wrest her from that fool Jones."

Luther turned to him: "Ivan? Do you know this lady?"

"Of course," Ivan smiled calmly, "knows a lot more than you, an ignorant fellow! It's a rare chance to see her, and you don't mind if I want to spend some time alone with the pretty lady?"

Luther stood up tactfully: "Then I won't bother you much."

Ivan took Luther's position without hesitation: "Dear Boss Wang, I helped you out this time! That guy Luther is very difficult to deal with. Don't look at his lumpy appearance, but his sense of smell is better than anyone else's." Sensitive."

"Just call me Wang Yao," Wang Yao was still in shock, "Thank you so much."

"Don't say too much thank you," Ivan said with a smile, "I just didn't expect you to really get together with Jones. It turns out that you are not so lofty and unapproachable."

Hearing the teasing in Ivan's words, Wang Yao smiled bitterly: "I have my reasons."

On the other side, Al saw Wang Yao and Ivan sitting together from a distance, feeling extremely unhappy, and was about to go to separate the two of them, when suddenly Francis stopped him: "Hey, Al, I'm late, I didn't miss any good show Right? I heard that you brought a Chinese woman with you today? When did you change your taste?"

"Try something new once in a while." Al dealt with Francis absent-mindedly, his eyes still fixed on Wang Yao.

"Look, here comes the most beautiful Chinese woman!" Francis exclaimed joyfully, "and the most beautiful Japanese man!"

Al heard the words and looked around, and saw Honda Ju in military uniform and Lin Mo Niang, who was exquisitely dressed, walking into the brightly lit hall. Francis had already greeted him, and Al followed closely behind him.

"Dear Miss Lin, brother, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Francis has been pursuing Lin Mo Niang recently, but unfortunately the other party just slipped away from him modestly and politely.

"Nice to see you again, Mr. Bonofois." Honda Ju shielded Lin Mo Niang behind her back.

Al looked at Wang Yao quietly, and found that Wang Yao was walking towards this side quickly, leaving Ivan with a blank expression on the spot.Al couldn't cry, so he hurried forward to stop Wang Yao, and secretly pinched him: "Don't be impulsive, don't say anything!"

"Wanwan is there!" Wang Yao could hardly control his voice.

"That won't work either!" Al squeezed his arm hard, "Don't say anything, let me introduce you, understand?"

Wang Yao clenched his lips, reluctantly followed Al to Francis, Honda Ju and Lin Mo Niang, Al introduced the three to Wang Yao, and said to them: "This is my female companion Wang Chunyan."

Wanwan looked at Wang Yao thoughtfully, but Wang Yao didn't dare to look her directly in the eyes, clenched his iron fists tightly, for fear that he would show a strange expression.Therefore, he ignored the momentary jealous gaze of Honda Ju next to him.Wang Yao's body trembled uncontrollably, and his knuckles were pinched.Seeing that the situation was not good, Al grabbed Wang Yao's waist and led him into the dance floor. Just as the melody of the waltz sounded, Al jumped up with his arms around Wang Yao.Wang Yao couldn't dance, so he accidentally stepped on Al several times.

"What are you doing?" Wang Yao scolded.

"You almost revealed your secrets," Al stepped on the rhythm, "Don't provoke that Honda Chrysanthemum, stay away from the Japanese."

"But Wanwan is in his hands!" Wang Yao gritted his teeth and said, "And it's not like I haven't killed the Japanese before!"

"Lin Moniang and Honda Ju are in the same group, and you will be in big trouble if you go to meet her now. Moreover," Al Zhanlan's eyes looked deeply into Wang Yao's black eyes, "I don't want you to be hurt."

Wang Yao was absent-minded for a moment, his eyes as blue as the sky were so warm, and Al's breath enveloped him, which made him very relieved, and he felt that he was going to be intoxicated in Al's arms.The originally crappy dance steps suddenly became light and graceful, which perfectly matched with Al.

Looking at the two who were waltzing, Ivan couldn't help but smile wryly: Maybe that unruly Jones finally fell in love.

Lin Mo Niang came out of the bathroom and was suddenly pulled behind the door by a strong force. She screamed in fright, and the assailant immediately covered her mouth: "Wan Wan, it's me!" Lin Mo Niang was stunned when she heard her baby name Yes, I took a closer look, and the person in front of me was the Chinese girl next to Al.

"Who are you?" Lin Mo Niang asked nervously.

Wang Yao said excitedly: "I am Wang Yao, your brother!"

"Brother Yao?" Lin Mo Niang lost her mind, and the memories of her childhood flooded into her heart instantly, warm and bitter.But she recovered immediately and asked vigilantly, "What do you want to do?"

Wang Yao was stunned, he didn't expect his sister to have such an attitude: "Wanwan, you won't forget me, right? I'm your brother, I'll take you home!"

Lin Mo Niang waved Wang Yao's hand away: "Don't do this! I won't go with you! The old Wanwan is dead, now I am Lin Mo Niang!"

Wang Yao grabbed Lin Moniang's shoulder: "Why are you doing this? Is that Japanese devil threatening you?"

Lin Moniang sneered: "No one threatened me, that's what I meant. Also, you don't have the right to say that about Brother Ju!"

"You...he is Japanese!" Wang Yao was too angry to speak.

Lin Mo Niang exclaimed excitedly: "So what about the Japanese? You Chinese people sold me like an animal, regardless of my life or death! The Japanese gave me dignity, taught me self-esteem and self-love, and made me a well-educated woman , Let me live like a human being! Now you bring such a disgusting face of being neither male nor female to let me go home? Bah!"

Wang Yao was shocked and angry, his body trembling violently.Facing his younger sister who was already slim but had a drastic change in temperament, his heart was as cold as an ice cellar in the twelfth lunar month.

"Have you seen Mo Niang's will? Stupid Chinese people!" A beautiful but sinister voice came from behind, Wang Yao turned around like an electric shock, and saw Honda Ju and two soldiers came to him at some time behind.Honda walked up to Lin Mo Niang, looked at Wang Yao with a half-smile and said: "Mo Niang is no longer your sister, she is the adopted daughter of our Honda family, and an excellent citizen of the Great Japan/Ben Empire, people like you You are not qualified to talk to her, and you will have to pay for your actions today."

When Lin Mo Niang heard this, she suddenly pulled Honda's arm anxiously and said, "Brother Ju, please don't do this! He is just a countryman from China, there is no need to cause trouble for him!" Honda smiled gently and took Lin Mo Niang: "Okay, for the sake of You, let him go today." Then he turned to Wang Yao: "Disappear immediately, let me see you next time, you will not be so lucky!"

Wang Yao almost gritted his silver teeth, but he finally endured, turned around and walked out mechanically.Looking at Wang Yao's back, Honda winked at the two soldiers, and the two immediately understood and chased after Wang Yao's back.Lin Mo Niang is very important, she must not have any weaknesses, Honda thought to himself.

Wang Yao was attacked as soon as he walked out of the big world. He was unarmed, but the man who chased him had a gun. The bullets brushed him and shot on the building, so he had no choice but to run away.There was a burning pain in his waist. He was scratched by the bullet, and then his right thigh was also grazed by the bullet, causing severe pain.He didn't dare to stop, clutching his bleeding waist and ran forward desperately, the wound on his leg was burning hot, but he couldn't care less.Running to the edge of the Huangpu River, the dizziness caused by blood loss slowed him down. The pursuers got closer, and they raised their guns at him again.Taking one last look at the unextinguished lights on the Bund, Wang Yao jumped into the rolling river...
