Looking at the bright moon

When the boat was moored near the pier, Sheng Jingyuan sensed something was wrong.

Huqing is as lively as Yannan. Even in the middle of the night, the wharf is busy and crowded, but now it is only [-] o'clock in the morning, and the place is empty and eerily quiet.Passengers who got off the boat also felt weird. They looked at each other, at a loss, and got off the boat slowly.

The entourage behind Jing Yuan gently held his arm, and whispered: "Mr. Jing Yuan, please be careful."

Before he could finish his sentence, a car drove up from the other side of the pier, accompanied by two guards.In a blink of an eye, the pedestrians had surrounded the pier into an iron barrel.When the people who got off the boat saw such a huge formation, the pot exploded with a buzz, and they crowded closely together, not daring to take half a step forward.

The troops spread out to make way for the train of cars.The leading one stopped not far from the crowd, the door opened, and a man in military uniform with a medium build and a chubby face got out.Wearing a pair of glasses, he looked like a scholar rather than a soldier.One of Jing Yuan's attendants recognized him and asked suspiciously, "Adjutant Zhang? What is he doing here?"

There are several commanders under the supervision of Huqing, and this adjutant Zhang is the right-hand man of one of them.When Jing Yuan was in Huqing, he often dealt with those people. He thought about it and said: "It must be entrusted by others."

The adjutant Zhang led two soldiers to the panic-stricken group of people who had just disembarked, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be afraid, I was ordered to find someone, please leave on your own if you have nothing to do, no one will embarrass you. "

Pedestrians got the release order, hurriedly picked up their luggage, and walked away one after another.The crowded crowd gradually thinned out, and when it was Jing Yuan's turn, Adjutant Zhang looked up, a smile appeared on his face, and he said to Jing Yuan: "Mr. you."

Since Jingyuan followed Ruan Lingyi, he has always claimed to be Lingyi's distant relative, with his surname on his head, so most people who have dealt with him call him "Mr. Ruan".Although Adjutant Zhang's words were polite, if ordinary people wanted to meet guests, they would first send out invitations and meet at the planned place.Such a menacing attack, blocking people on the pier as soon as they get off the boat, will definitely not be a goodwill object.However, Huqing is Jingyuan's "hometown" after all, he was not nervous, he just nodded to the other party: "Which distinguished guest is it, and Lieutenant Zhang personally came to invite him."

The irrelevant people had already left, and Adjutant Zhang turned sideways, motioning him to look at a car parked behind.How many times have they met? Adjutant Zhang told Jing Yuan: "It's hard to deal with people who come this time, Mr. Jing Yuan should be careful."

As if responding to his words, the guard opened the door for the car, and a middle-aged man as tall and thin as a bamboo pole got out first.He was wearing a black long gown and a linen silk mandarin jacket. He had a few thin beards on his chin, the corners of his mouth were pressed down, and his eyes were arrogant.He stopped beside the car for a while, and another person stepped out from the other side of the car.

The man was thin and straight, his face was extremely pale under the sun, his eyebrows and eyelashes were as thick as black ink, but such pure two colors formed a stern and beautiful face.When Jingyuan met this person in the past, the other person always had a smile on his face, as if nothing could shake his mind.Now Jingyuan finally sees that he is not smiling. The other party is looking at this side, even the eyes that are naturally smiling are showing coldness, like a sharp knife that has removed the gorgeous decoration, finally revealing his true colors. With a murderous edge.

Jingyuan didn't expect that Wen Mingyu would arrive sooner than himself, let alone that he would come to Huqing alone, and he really showed a little surprise.After discovering the identity of the person coming, several subordinates hurriedly stepped forward, protecting Jing Yuan behind them, and looked around nervously, as if they wanted to find a direction to escape.

However, there must be nowhere to escape. There are soldiers everywhere on the pier, and with just a few of them, it is impossible to break out of the encirclement.Although Jingyuan was shocked, he wasn't too scared. Something happened on the pier, and there was no reason for Lingyi not to know.Besides, Huqing is no better than Yannan, and Wen Mingyu always has to worry about the face of the local owner if he wants to do something on someone else's territory.

The middle-aged man in black was Commander Song of the Superintendent of Shanghai and Qing Dynasty. He gestured to Wen Mingyu with a slight smile on his face.The two groups of people stood face to face, Commander Song first greeted Jing Yuan: "Mr. Ruan, I was entrusted by someone today, and I offended you." After speaking, he said to Wen Mingyu: "You owe me a grown-up this time. Affection."

The corner of Wen Mingyu's mouth twitched slightly, and finally a faint smile appeared.But this smile not only did not soften his expression, but it seemed to have knocked a crack on his perfect face, and a fierce and ferocious shadow could be vaguely seen inside.Wen Mingyu said softly: "Thank you, please avoid Mr. Song for now, I have a few words, I want to ask this friend."

Commander Song said: "Mr. Jingyuan belongs to the Second Master Ruan, please show some kindness to Mr. Ruan, and don't make things difficult for him."

After saying these polite words, he took Adjutant Zhang to the other side, leaving Jingyuan alone to talk with Wen Mingyu.Jing Yuan looked at Wen Mingyu for a few times, and saw that he seemed to be more delicate than usual, with pale lips and an obvious sickness, so he asked politely: "We haven't been in contact for a long time, I don't know what the third master is doing today? What, suddenly blocked me here?"

Wen Mingyu let him scrutinize him calmly, without saying a single irrelevant word: "If you return Shenghuan to me now, I will consider keeping your life."

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of Jing Yuan's followers changed drastically, and they stepped forward one after another, trying to separate Wen Mingyu from his master.Jing Yuan spread his hands and said innocently: "Didn't Sheng Huan follow the third master all the time in Longyuan? How could it have anything to do with me?"

Wen Mingyu glanced back at her subordinates, and someone came to the last car and tore open the door.With a straight face, the man said to the people in the car: "Miss Fifth, please get out of the car."

After three or four times of urging, a woman in a white cheongsam finally stepped out of the car.Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were reddish, and she looked very haggard.She didn't look at Jing Yuan at all, but walked slowly to Wen Mingyu's side, and called out in a low voice, "Third Brother."

Wen Mingyu looked at her, and stretched out a hand behind her.One of the bodyguards immediately pulled out a pistol from his belt and put it in Wen Mingyu's hand.Wen Mingyu took the gun, loaded the bullet neatly, suddenly pulled Pei Ling over, put the muzzle of the gun against her forehead, and whispered to her intimately: "Since you like this person so much, then you can guess , see if he is willing to exchange his life for you?"

As soon as the cold steel touched her snow-white skin, Peiling let out a scream.She knew that she had touched her brother's bottom line this time, and once Wen Mingyu was really angry, he would not take blood relationship seriously.Thinking of the fourth brother who died at the hands of Wen Mingyu, Pei Ling was terrified for a moment.She trembled unceasingly, her teeth collided with each other, she gasped rapidly, but stared at Jing Yuan with wide eyes.

"Third...Third brother..." She finally squeezed out a faint call, but she was begging her elder brother: "Don't do this, I, I am your own sister..."

Wen Mingyu was unmoved, and put his finger on the trigger. Although he looked at Peiling, the person he was asking was Jingyuan: "Sheng Jingyuan, tell me, do you want to?"

Jing Yuan met Pei Ling's despairing eyes, was startled for a moment, and then smiled: "Third Master, why do you ask why you know what you know."

Wen Mingyu raised his eyes to look at him, when the two looked at each other, Wen Mingyu's eyes were as cold as ice, and she also chuckled lightly.The next moment, he pulled the trigger without hesitation.

There was a muffled gunshot, followed by Peiling's scream that almost slit her throat.Wen Mingyu fired a shot and let Peiling slump down from his arms, holding her head and crying loudly.He casually threw the gun back to the person behind him and ordered: "Grab him."

The two sides collided instantly, Wen Mingyu's bodyguards were extremely agile, and Jing Yuan's followers resisted to the death, but they were not opponents at all.Seeing this, one of them couldn't help touching his waist quietly, and stared at Wen Mingyu fiercely.Holding the pistol in his hand, he quickly took a few steps forward and reached out to grab Wen Mingyu who was empty beside him.

Wen Mingyu didn't move at all, only grabbing the man's arm when the man got close.The man was caught off guard and was taken sideways by him.He couldn't help but panicked, and hastily twisted his body vigorously, trying in vain to get rid of Wen Mingyu's restraint.Wen Mingyu let him struggle for a while, as if annoyed, she kicked the man's knee, grabbed the man's hand and pushed.

The tall man fell in response, and before he got up from the ground, a foot wearing a leather shoe stepped on his neck.

Wen Mingyu didn't seem to see the person under her feet, she just twisted her toes lightly when she stepped on the opponent's body.

There was a crisp bone cracking sound, the man kicked his legs a few times indiscriminately, his eyes turned white in the blink of an eye, and he died silently.Wen Mingyu casually rubbed the soles of his shoes on the man's clothes a few times, and when he looked over to Jingyuan, several people had already held Sheng Jingyuan firmly.He struggled a little, but when he found it was useless, he didn't resist any more, and asked calmly, "Third Master, what you're doing is not in line with the rules, is it?"

Wen Mingyu bent one leg, squatted in front of him, and replied, "What do your rules have to do with me?"

He stretched out a hand, grabbed Jing Yuan's left hand that was pressing on his face, and drew a dagger from his waist, and twirled it on his fingertips.

Jing Yuan faintly sensed what the other party wanted to do, his body froze, and he raised his eyes to Wen Mingyu: "Wen Mingyu, this is Huqing, not Yannan."

"Let me ask you again, where is Sheng Huan?" Wen Mingyu didn't answer Jing Yuan's words, he pushed the scabbard away with his thumb, and a ray of bright cold light flowed down from between his fingers, just right into Jing Yuan in the eyes.

Sheng Jingyuan said: "I don't know—hmm!"

Before he could finish his words, the extremely sharp dagger pierced through the flesh and firmly nailed his palm to the ground.Jing Yuan's eyes turned black from the pain, a thin layer of sweat instantly covered his forehead, he couldn't make a sound for a long time, and could only gasp weakly.

Wen Mingyu grabbed his other hand, and Jing Yuan seemed to see him take out another dagger through his hazy vision.

"Do you remember?" Wen Mingyu asked him gently and gently.

Jing Yuan suddenly laughed lowly, his eyes widened, and he stared straight at Wen Mingyu.His face turned pale due to the severe pain, his eyebrows and eyelashes were soaked with sweat, but the expression on his face was proud and happy. Jing Yuan raised his upper body with all his strength, and the tip of his nose almost touched Wen Mingyu, and asked softly: "Wen Mingyu , are you in a hurry?"

Wen Mingyu looked back at the person in front of him expressionlessly, and suddenly, the dagger in his hand fell down.

Bright red warm blood sprayed out from the back of his hand, Sheng Jingyuan let out a short scream, but at the next moment, he didn't care about his hands pierced by the sharp knife, and laughed wildly.While laughing, he suppressed his panting, breathed out three words as if telling a secret: "He's dead——"

When Wen Mingyu heard these three words, Wen Mingyu was obviously stunned for a few seconds, and even his eyes were blank for a moment.Soon, his gaze gathered again and pierced Jing Yuan's face sharply.Wen Mingyu pulled out a dagger and pressed it against Jing Yuan's neck.He used a lot of strength, the dagger was sharp, cut Jing Yuan's skin with one touch, and blood beads densely gushed out from the wound, staining the blade.

Wen Mingyu's voice was extremely low, and the tender hoarseness became dangerous at the moment: "You lie again..." He moved the blade forward a little more: "I will cut off your head now, and put it Throw it into Wen Bihe's coffin."

Hearing this dead name suddenly, Jing Yuan laughed, and his eyes instantly turned red.He raised a bloody hand, and grabbed Wen Mingyu's neckline tightly, as if he didn't feel the pain, he pulled her down forcefully.He gritted his teeth and said: "Your sweetheart is dead! I threw him into the sea with my own hands and watched him sink." His face twisted, and a few laughter trembled from his throat: "Even if you want to find him now, His body has already been eaten by fish, it is too late, Wen Mingyu, you will never see him again!"

Just when Wen Mingyu was about to put the dagger into Sheng Jingyuan's neck, several cars suddenly came from afar and stopped outside Commander Song's troops.The door of the car was hurriedly opened, and a tall old man with white beard and hair, thick eyebrows and fierce eyes got out of the car.As soon as he leaned out, he saw the situation on the pier, and immediately shouted: "Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen, please stop!"

When Commander Song saw someone coming, he let out an ouch, dropped the cigarette in his hand, and stepped forward to help him.A tall and handsome young man in a gray suit followed closely behind the old man. He slammed the door of the car and pursed his lips tightly. Several cars behind him also stopped, and many big men with strong figures and unfriendly expressions got off.The young man took a few steps forward and stopped not far from Wen Mingyu. He stared at the blood-stained Jing Yuan for a long time, then turned his gaze to Wen Mingyu, and said in a gloomy tone: "Wen Mingyu, you are in my place." The people who dealt with me did not take me seriously."

Wen Mingyu didn't turn her head, just grabbed Sheng Jingyuan's hair, and slapped Sheng Jingyuan's cheeks with a dagger.

He asked, "Do you want to save this man?"

Ruan Lingyi said angrily: "Let go of him! If you dare to do something, I won't let you get out of this pier!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all Wen Mingyu's subordinates looked here. They took out their weapons one after another, and fired with a straight face.When Ruan Lingyi's thugs were threatened by this, they immediately cursed and were about to crowd around and attack, when the old man finally rushed to them, grabbed Lingyi's arm and dragged him back.

He shook his head at Lingyi first, then turned to Wen Mingyu: "Mr. Wen, the one you caught is a good friend of my second young master. If he offends you in any way, I will pay him a present." , I hope you will spare this kid's life based on the decades of friendship between my master and your father."

Ruan Hejiang has been in the top position in Shanghai and Qing Dynasty for more than ten years. Now that he is over [-] years old, he has left the family affairs in the hands of his children and has not shown himself for a long time.The old man in front of him is Ruan Hejiang's confidant.Commander Song didn't expect this character to appear here, and he was facing another character that he couldn't afford to mess with. After weighing it several times, Commander Song was in a dilemma, so he simply stood aside with his hands clasped, as a silent onlooker By.

Wen Mingyu sneered, and said lightly: "Ruan Lingyi, return my people to me first, and then come and negotiate terms with me."

Hearing this, the old man immediately winked at Ling Yi.Lingyi took a deep breath, finally calmed down a lot, and said in a slow tone: "Mr. Wen, the person you want is indeed not in my hands."

Hearing this sentence, Jing Yuan, who was originally groggy and unconscious, immediately opened his eyes, turned his head to look here, and shouted: "Ling Yi!"

Ruan Lingyi pretended not to hear, and continued: "It is true that my person offended me this time, but since you have dealt with him, please don't bother with him anymore. If you are willing to let him go, please open your mouth if you have any conditions." , as long as I can do it, I have nothing to say."

Wen Mingyu raised Jing Yuan's chin with a dagger, and said softly: "You took the person away, so you must return it to me unscathed. Otherwise——"

He raised his head, and there was a little smile in his affectionate phoenix eyes, like a gust of spring breeze: "The pain of bereavement, I wonder if your elderly father can bear it?"

The old man who came with Lingyi's face darkened and was about to speak when several people rushed to the pier anxiously in a car.A bearded man in a suit and leather shoes jumped out of the car, strode up to Wen Mingyu's side, bent down, and whispered a few words in Wen Mingyu's ear.

After Wen Mingyu heard this, the hand holding the dagger trembled very quickly and lightly.He suddenly dropped Jing Yuan in his hand, stood up, and rubbed his wrist.

Seeing his actions, the old man secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Mr. Wen, is it good news?"

Wen Mingyu looked at the other party, his expression didn't change much.He waved his hand to the back, and the followers immediately understood, they stopped confronting Lingyi's men and horses, and followed Wen Mingyu together, as if they were going to leave.When passing by Lingyi's side, Wen Mingyu paused and said, "Second Master Ruan."

Ling Yi also made a friendly gesture and smiled back: "Please speak."

"I remember what you said just now." Wen Mingyu patted him on the shoulder: "Please say hello to your father for me."

After saying that, he led the crowd and left without looking back.When Wen Mingyu and Commander Song's car drove away from the pier, Ruan Lingyi suddenly turned around and ran towards Sheng Jingyuan.He turned Jing Yuan's body over, the man's clothes were completely soaked in cold sweat, his eyes were half-opened, his face was ashen, and he seemed to have passed out.

Ling Yi bit her lower lip hard, and pulled out the dagger that pierced Jing Yuan's palm.The person in his arms groaned vaguely, his eyelashes fluttered a few times, and he looked at him in a daze.

"How can there be such an unintelligent person as you around me!" Ling Yi reprimanded him severely.But after saying this, Ling Yi hurriedly held the cold cheek of the person in her arms, hugged him tightly, and tried to lead him up.

It took a lot of effort for him to support Jing Yuan with a half hug and half hug.Ling Yi didn't let other people touch Sheng Jingyuan, and while leading him into the car, she cursed: "You should die here, lest I spend so much effort to save you."

Jing Yuan leaned in his arms, his chest trembled, and he seemed to be laughing.He put his blood-red hands on Ling Yi's shoulders, and gently called her name: "Ling Yi..."

"Don't call me!" Ling Yi carried him into the car, and slammed the door shut.

In another car, Xu Hancheng carefully took out a letter from his pocket, handed it to Wen Mingyu with both hands, and said in a low voice: "The young master entrusted his friend named Jiang to send it. The child said, young master safe and sound."

Wen Mingyu frowned and took the letter.He was still a little worried, and asked again: "How did he know the news about Shenghuan?"

"Young master called him personally." After Xu Hancheng finished speaking, he shook his head a few more times: "I asked the kid where he answered the phone, but he refused to say anything. I frightened him once, and the kid was almost Cried, but said that the young master told him that he is a good friend of the young master, so we are not allowed to touch him."

Wen Mingyu took a breath, and then squeezed the envelope tightly, showing a look of extreme hatred.

It was the first time Xu Hancheng saw Wen Mingyu lose his composure like this, he was embarrassed and didn't dare to say a word.

Wen Mingyu tore open the envelope and flattened the thin letter paper.There are only three lines of ink on it, which read: everything is well, the return date is undecided, don't read it.

Wen Mingyu could recognize Shenghuan's handwriting, every stroke of this letter was indeed written by the child himself.He crumpled the letter paper suddenly, and was about to throw it out, but his hand was hanging in the air.After a long time, he opened the letter again and read it without moving.

After watching for a while, Wen Mingyu actually had a smile on his face.He smiled lowly for a while, then paused abruptly, Xu Hancheng turned his head, and saw Wen Mingyu covered his mouth with one hand, his face was like snow, a strand of dark red blood leaked from between his fingers, tick tick dripped down.
