Chapter 112 [True and False] (Part 2)
Bai Yunfei said: "The purpose of the Japanese is already very clear. They controlled Fang Kangwei through opium. Fang Kangwei inherited all the industries of the Fang family. Then the Japanese can control the wharf owned by the Fang family and even all the properties, thereby achieving the goal of opening the Tianjin channel." If the Japanese succeed, Bai Yunfei's interests will be damaged first, and the opium and arms business that have always been monopolized by him will be divided into pieces, and most of the interests will be taken away. After all, the wharf that Bai Yunfei currently owns cannot be compared with the deep-rooted and lush Fang family.
Luo Lie certainly knew Bai Yunfei's purpose. Although he also disliked Bai Yunfei's behavior, he had the only choice to cooperate with Bai Yunfei under the current situation.
Bai Yunfei handed Luo Lie an address and said meaningfully: "Someone wants to see you!"
Luo Lie had guessed the owner's identity before entering the villa in the Italian Concession. He took off his coat, sat in front of the warm fireplace in the living room, picked up a newspaper from today, and browsed quietly.
After a while, Ye Qinghong walked into the living room with light steps. It was not that she deliberately neglected and did not come out to greet Luo Lie as soon as possible. It was because she had been in the kitchen just now, carrying two cups of freshly ground coffee to Luo Lie, and greeted softly: "You are here!" There were not many people who could make Ye Qinghong lower her posture and treat him so politely, and Luo Lie was one of them.
Luo Lie put down the newspaper, raised his head and looked at Ye Qinghong, who was originally born beautiful and specially dressed up. He was not astonished, admired, or even had a slight expression. His wise eyes were not alarmed. In Ye Qinghong's eyes, he looked at him with a calm and almost cold look, as if he was just an ordinary person who had nothing to do with him, and as if he had been here and had never left. Such eyes made Ye Qinghong feel a hint of impetuousness from the bottom of her heart, and she even had the urge to get angry.
However, Ye Qinghong still controlled herself very well and sent the coffee to Luo Lie in an extremely ladylike manner. Unfortunately, Luo Lie did not show the gentlemanly demeanor he used to be. After taking the coffee, he smelled it and sniffed it, saying, "If you put too much sugar, these coffee beans are not too fresh."
In Ye Qinghong's impression, Luo Lie has never been a picky person. His performance in front of him was clearly intentionally causing trouble for himself. Ye Qinghong sat down opposite Luo Lie, and also tasted a mouthful of the coffee he had ground with himself, and then said, "I think it's good? Is there something wrong with your own taste?"
Luo Lie said: "I never impose my taste on others." In front of Ye Qinghong, he poured all the cup of coffee into the trash can, and then smiled at her stunned and said: "Please go and change me a cup of tea."
Ye Qinghong's eyes were wide open, and her right hand holding the coffee cup was already trembling slightly. She finally controlled the urge to pour the hot coffee on Luo Lie's head. She nodded with a swallowing anger, and actually stood up silently to make tea for Luo Lie.
In Luo Lie's view, Ye Qinghong's tolerance must be a prelude to her next plan. He will ask for something when giving gifts. As proud as Ye Qinghong is willing to lower her noble head, it is not because of indecency or guilt. The only possibility is that she still has value to use her. When Luo Lie went to Baigongguan to play Mu Sanshou's card, he had already predicted the possibility that Ye Qinghong would follow, but he didn't expect that she would arrive so soon.
While Ye Qinghong was going to make tea, Luo Lie observed the furnishings in the villa and couldn't help but feel that the lean camel was bigger than a horse. At the same time, he had a new understanding of Ye Qinghong's biological father, Prince Rui Yixun, who was once scouted by the Empress Dowager. Just because he left so much wealth for his descendants, it can be inferred that this prince is definitely not a clean person.
Ye Qinghong changed the tea set again and brewed a cup of British black tea for Luo Lie.
The owner's preference can be seen from the drink alone. There is no Chinese tea here. Luo Lie drank a sip of black tea and looked at Ye Qinghong, who was more delicate than the enamel porcelain in his hand: "Did you come to me to fulfill your previous promise?"
Ye Qinghong asked Feisuo and replied: "Do you hate me?"
"It's not a question. We're always going to be cheating. No matter what we have done, I'll finish what you told me."
Ye Qinghong said: "But you did not send the Seven Treasure Wind-Habiting Tower Talisman to my hands."
Luo Lie said: "Didn't Lu Weilin send it to you?"
Ye Qinghong placed the giant clam wind shelter talisman in front of Luo Lie. Luo Lie recognized at a glance that the wind shelter talisman was the one he obtained from Xiao Tianxing and asked Lu Weilin to hand it over to Ye Qinghong.
Luo Lie did not go to get the wind shelter talisman and whispered: "Miss Ye has any questions?"
Ye Qinghong said: "This wind shelter talisman is fake!"
Luo Lie couldn't help but frowned. He had no idea of the authenticity of the Wind-Hailing Tower Talisman, but Ye Qinghong seemed to have no need to deceive him. He picked up the Wind-Hailing Tower Talisman, and there was no flaw in his appearance.
Ye Qinghong took out a wooden box. The wooden box had six wind-saving tower talismans, made of gold, silver, glass, red beads, coral and agate. The three gold, silver and agate were the keys used to open the safe as Ye Qinghong said earlier.
Ye Qinghong said: "Although this giant clam wind-saving tower talisman is very vivid, it lacks a bloodline on it, not the one my father gave to Xiao Tianxiong at the time."
Luo Lie picked up the giant clam wind shelter talisman and observed carefully. Sure enough, the blood line she mentioned was not found from above. Luo Lie said: "Isn't your purpose for revenge? Kill Ren Zhongchang first, then deal with Liu Tongsi, and Xiao Tianxing has also died in Lingtian Castle. The three people who were most likely to betray Prince Rui have now been awarded the title. What's the use of this wind shelter talisman?" In Luo Lie's view, the so-called wind shelter talisman is just a tool for Ye Qinghong to lead her into a trap to divert attention. She is the real intention of attacking the east and the west. Her real intention is to avenge her. A series of things that happened before have verified this point.
Ye Qinghong said: "What you promised me has not been fulfilled after all."
Luo Liedao: "Why should I find me right?"
Ye Qinghong said: "Some things are difficult to get out once they get involved."
Luo Lie said: "No one can force me to do what I don't want to do."
Ye Qinghong sighed and gently placed a photo in front of Luo Lie: "You should know this person, right?"
Luo Lie picked up the photo and recognized that the person in the photo was Xiao Tianxing's daughter Zhou Xiaodie. They broke up in Baishan. The blind man took Zhou Xiaodie to Huangpu first to treat her eyes. Seeing Zhou Xiaodie's photo, Luo Lie's heart couldn't help but sink. Could it be that Ye Qinghong used the same trick again and wanted to use Zhou Xiaodie to achieve the purpose of threatening himself to do things for her?
Ye Qinghong said: "An Zhai and her went to Huangpu together. It seems you don't know that Zhou Xiaodie has left without saying goodbye."
Luo Lie stared at Ye Qinghong with deep eyes. Ye Qinghong saw his suspicion: "You don't have to doubt me. This matter has nothing to do with me, and even has nothing to do with anyone. Zhou Xiaodie left by herself, and I got the news that the Zhou Xiaodie you know is probably not her."
Luo Lie couldn't help but frown. Perhaps because he had experienced too much deception and betrayal by Ye Qinghong before, he could not convince himself to believe Ye Qinghong's words.
Ye Qinghong said: "Even Xiao Tianxing doesn't know. His daughter who sacrificed her life to save her is simply a substitute. Zhou Xiaodie and Lan Ximei are both Japanese spies."
Luo Lie picked up the giant clam wind shelter talisman again and whispered: "Are you saying that Zhou Xiaodie used the trick and took away the real wind shelter talisman?"
"The possibility is very high, and as far as I know, she has many secrets."
Luo Lie said: "I'm not interested in her affairs, so we don't have any chance of cooperation."
Ye Qinghong said: "You can't speak too much. You may not care about Zhou Xiaodie's affairs, but your good friend An Zhai may not think so too."
Luo Lie was shocked. In fact, he had already seen that the blind man had a good impression of Zhou Xiaodie as early as Baishan, otherwise he would not have rushed to take Zhou Xiaodie to Huangpu to treat his eyes. If Ye Qinghong used the blind man's feelings for Zhou Xiaodie, the blind man would definitely take the initiative to participate in this matter. Ye Qinghong was indeed prepared. She knew that she had a deep brotherly relationship with the blind man, and it was impossible to watch the blind man take risks alone. This woman's deep scheming was really rare.
Luo Lie said: "Did you tell the blind man about Zhou Xiaodie?"
Ye Qinghong looked at Luo Lie quietly and said, "No, I respect your opinion."
Luo Lie said: "What do you want to do?"
"Accompany me to Peking, find Zhou Xiaodie, and find out all the secrets of Xiao Tianxing."
Luo Liedao: "Can you conclude that Zhou Xiaodie is a Japanese spy?"
Ye Qinghong said: "My source of information will not be wrong."
Luo Lie nodded.
Ye Qinghong said happily: "Did you agree?"
Luo Lie said: "Before I accompany you to Peking, you need to do something for me first."
Ye Qinghong didn't wait for Luo Lie to say what he had guessed what he wanted to help him, and whispered: "If I were you, I wouldn't interfere in the Fang family's affairs."
"It's a pity that you are not me!"
Ye Qinghong bit her cherry lips, but she stopped talking.
Luo Lie said: "I owe Fang Kewen a favor. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to leave Pale Mountain alive."
Ye Qinghong said: "The affairs of the Fang family are not as simple as fighting for property. Behind the struggle for inheritance is the struggle between the Japanese and Germans for the interests of Tianjin. The battle between the two tigers will cause harm. Why do you have to be a victim of the struggle between outsiders?"
Luo Lie said angrily: "You forgot that this is Tianjin, it is on the land of us Chinese!"
