With the concession on the European battlefield, Germany officially became a defeated country, and its international status plummeted. Their interests in the Chinese region were greatly affected. As a member of the Allies and one of the victorious countries, the news of the victory on the European battlefield reached the country, which excited many people. They all believed that through this victory, we can at least get rid of Germany's oppression and exploitation of China, and allow Germany to return the Chinese land that had been occupied by the concession.

Dong Zhijun was also excited because of this. He was full of expectations for the future and made his own inference about the future belonging to the Tianjin German Concession.

Lao Hongtou was also quite concerned about national affairs and kept asking questions when he chased Dong Zhijun, but Luo Lie did not show any excitement. The seed of wisdom planted by his father in his body had already penetrated the history of the future period into his blood. He knew that China, as a victorious country, did not get any benefits from the victory of this war. The German concession and interests in China did not return to its original owner, but were given to the close neighbor Japan that was eyeing it by the great powers.

This shameless plunder completely awakened the young people, and an epoch-making change is coming.

Luo Lie picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea. History was already destined, and what role he would play in history? A sense of loneliness that was difficult to describe came to his heart.

Dong Zhijun noticed that Luo Lie was not interested in what he was telling.

Lao Hongtou asked: "Marriage management means you don't have to do business to the Germans in the future?"

Dong Zhijun nodded and said, "I am now working for the Tianjin government. This time I went to Huangpu to settle some old cases from the past."

Luo Lie couldn't help but feel moved when he heard this. He thought of Bai Yunfei, who was rumored to be assassinated by the German consul, put down his tea bowl and said, "Bai Yunfei's case has also been settled?"

Dong Zhijun nodded and said, "It's over, Bai Yunfei is dead!"

"Dead?" Luo Lie said in surprise.

Dong Zhijun said: "There is a rumor that the German consul was killed by the Japanese. Bai Yunfei was just a scapegoat. The Japanese took a fancy to his business, so they killed two birds with one stone. They not only killed the German consul, but also blamed Bai Yunfei and stole his territory in Tianjin."

Old Hongtou was so angry that he slapped his thigh and said, "Damn it! There is no good thing in Japan!"

Dong Zhijun said: "You are always calming down, it's just a rumor."

Luo Lie said: "There may not be no reason for the groundlessness. I see that these rumors are almost the same."

Dong Zhijun said: "Bai Yunfei is indeed dead. I have seen the corpse. One of the tasks to Huangpu this time is to recognize the corpse."

Luo Lie and Bai Yunfei have had several experiences of sharing hardships. Although he did not agree with some of Bai Yunfei's actions, he had to admit that Bai Yunfei was also a hero of a generation. He was also a little disappointed when he heard about Bai Yunfei's death. But he also felt that it would be unreasonable for a person like Bai Yunfei to die like this. However, Dong Zhijun said it was very convincing. As Yingzi's husband, he did not need to lie to them.

Dong Zhijun relaxed and said, "As soon as Bai Yunfei died, the case was finally settled." He was always responsible for the case. Although the German side was defeated, for him, if the case was not settled for a day, a stone in his heart would not be able to fall.

Lao Hongtou said, "It's been more than three months since I went to recognize the body?"

Dong Zhijun smiled and said, "It will take less than three months to recognize the corpse. My superiors have arranged for me to participate in the training in Huangpu."

Luo Lie said: "It seems that we are going to cultivate our brother-in-law."

Dong Zhijun couldn't help but feel happy and said modestly: "Where, where! By the way, when will I come to Tianjin?"

Luo Lie said: "I've been there for a while, and I'm planning to leave."

When Lao Hongtou heard that he was leaving, he said in surprise: "Let go? Why are you leaving suddenly?"

Dong Zhijun said: "No, you are leaving now when I come. Could it be that you don't like my brother-in-law?"

Luo Lie smiled and said, "I have to do something, and I can't do anything all day long."

Dong Zhijun said: "Aren't you a pastor? The church in Xikai is about to be completed. Have you considered seeking a clergy?"

Old Hongtou hurriedly shook his head and said, "What kind of pastor do you do well? Find a wife and have a few children right away is the main business."

Dong Zhijun smiled and said, "Grandpa, you don't understand."

Lao Hongtou said, "What do I don't understand? Isn't it just a foreign monk? There is no difference between a church and a temple. I go inside to recite scriptures."

Luo Lie couldn't help laughing, looking at the big bowl of tea, his eyes became a little confused: "I have a small church in Huangpu, and I think it's time to go back and take a look."

Lao Hongtou looked shocked. He had never heard Luo Lie talk about this.

The gate of the courtyard was gently knocked, and Luo Lie got up and opened the door. It shouldn't be Yingzi, so she wouldn't knock on the door so elegantly. When she opened the door, she saw Tang Baoer standing outside the door. Luo Lie was stunned, but Tang Baoer said with surprise on his face: "It's really you, Luo Lie, do you still remember me?"

In fact, when Luo Lie met Tang Baoer yesterday, he was worried that she would recognize him. This was one of the reasons why he was about to leave recently. Unexpectedly, Tang Baoer actually returned and found this place.

Now that things have come to this point, there is no need to deny it. Luo Lie smiled and said, "Of course I recognize it, Miss Tang is good!"

Both Lao Hongtou and Dong Zhijun knew Tang Baoer. This noble lady was very famous in Tianjin. They wanted to get up to say hello, but it was obvious that Tang Baoer came here to visit Luo Lie this time, so they finally didn't go there.

Tang Baoer said straight to the point: "I have something to look for you."

Luo Lie invited her and said, "Come in and sit down."

Tang Baoer shook her head and said, "Go out and talk." She waved her hands to Lao Hongtou and Dong Zhijun, and said, "I'm disturbing!" She smiled and showed her two cute rabbit teeth. This daughter is approachable in dealing with people.

Luo Lie said to Lao Hongtou and left with Tang Baoer. The two of them came to the woods on the east side of the campus. It was late autumn. The leaves were golden and the orange sunlight projected into the woods through the leaves, leaving mottled shadows of varying shades of shades.

Tang Baoer was stepping on the soft leaves and holding the exquisitely crafted black leather bag in both hands. She wanted to walk more casually and elegantly, but Luo Lie was very big, so she had to speed up her pace, complaining in her heart that Luo Lie's performance was a bit not gentlemanly enough.

Luo Lie seemed to realize this, stopped on the path, habitually took out a box of cigarettes, and politely solicited Tang Baoer's opinions.

Tang Baoer nodded. She didn't mind men smoking. She has been studying in various countries since she was a child. Although she has an Eastern Horizon, she is tolerant and open-minded. She even likes men smoking.

Luo Lie lit the cigarette and said, "Sorry, I didn't have time to say hello to you yesterday."

Tang Baoer smiled and said, "I didn't recognize you at that time, but I just felt that my back was a little familiar. The more I thought about it, the more familiar I became, so I called Qinghong."

Hearing Ye Qinghong's name, Luo Lie's hand holding the cigarette paused for a moment. The autumn wind blew, blew away the ashes. Luo Lie held the cigarette back in his mouth, narrowed his eyes and looked at the leaves above his head that were shining with sunlight, and said softly: "She is also in Tianjin?"

Tang Baoer shook her head and said, "She is in Huangpu, and she asked me to come and find you."

Luo Lie nodded, feeling a warmth in his heart. There are still people in this world who care about him. He and Ye Qinghong met in a conspiracy. The exact relationship between them should be an employment relationship. After Mu Sanye died, their relationship no longer existed.

I remember that when he was separated in Peking, Ye Qinghong once proposed to go to Europe with him, but he finally refused. Half a year had passed unknowingly. He thought that Ye Qinghong had gone to Europe and might never set foot on the land of China again. After all, this land brought too much harm to her, but from Tang Baoer, he heard the news that Ye Qinghong was in Huangpu.

Luo Lie first thought that Mu Sanshou had left the wealth. Is Ye Qinghong's return related to those wealth?

Tang Baoer said: "Qinghong has been thinking about you all the time."

Luo Lie frowned at Tang Baoer's statement.

Tang Baoer sighed and said, "I really don't understand. She is so nice to you and is so outstanding. Why don't you even react at all?"

Luo Lie laughed: "How should I react according to Miss Tang's meaning?"

Tang Baoer said: "If I were you, I would love her so much that I could not extricate myself!"

Luo Lie burst into laughter.

Tang Baoer was stimulated by his laughter, and stomped his feet and said, "What are you laughing at? Do you know that Qinghong had a serious illness just after returning to Europe, and decided to come back to find you before he recovered. During the period when you were missing, she had been to Manchuria, Peking, Tianjin, and every place you might go to is just to find you." When she said this, her eyes flashed with crystal tears, and she was obviously moved by Ye Qinghong's infatuation.

Luo Lie took a breath of smoke and said, "She used to be my employer, and she and I were not even ordinary friends."

Tang Baoer widened her eyes: "You...you are so ruthless!"

Luo Lie said: "You are still young, you don't understand the relationship."

Tang Baoer clenched her fists angrily, her face flushed: "Of course I understand, I have never been in love, Luo Lie, I didn't want to say that Qinghong was suffering from a terminal illness, and the doctor said that her life would not exceed three months!"

Luo Lie was stunned, until the wind blew the ashes on his hands, and the burning pain made him return to reality. If he had never been moved by Ye Qinghong, he was deceiving himself, but after Yan Tianxin had an accident, he no longer considered any questions about feelings. After a pause, he said to Tang Baoer: "Miss Tang's story is well told."

Tang Baoer pulled open the handbag, took out a medical record from it, and handed it to Luo Lie: "Look carefully, you can see clearly,"

Luo Lie hesitated for a moment and took the medical record. The medical record was written in German and came from the world-famous German Brain Hospital. Ye Qinghong had a brain tumor and the diagnosis time was seven months ago.

Tang Baoer said: "Do you need me to translate it for you?"
