Zhang Lingkong smiled faintly. When the two policemen took the thief away, Zhang Lingkong said: "Recently, theft cases in the concession have emerged one after another. The thieves are so arrogant that they all come to my house."

Luo Liedao: "Then strengthen security, it's not too late to repair the sheep."

Zhang Lingkong said: "I heard that Chen Haodong is going to spend a million ocean to buy your Yupu Pier."

Luo Lie nodded: "This is the case."

Zhang Lingkong said: "Why did you catch up with all the good things? If I had known that Yupu Wharf was worth this price, I would never have exchanged the land of Blue Mound with you no matter what."

Luo Lie said: "It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world."

Zhang Lingkong said: "I also heard that you rejected Chen Haodong?"

Luo Liedao: "Mr. Zhang is really well-informed."

Zhang Lingkong said: "Chen Haodong should be a thief. This person is not good!"

Luo Lie said: "If it were Mr. Zhang, would he sell Yupu Wharf to him?"

Zhang Lingkong shook his head and said, "No, no one in the world can do business that loses money, especially the thief. They have always made money by making money. Mr. Luo, I always think we should have a good talk. Although there have been some unpleasantness between you and me, in the concession, you, I and Mu Tianluo, we have too many common interests."

Luo Lie said: "I am not very interested in doing business."

Zhang Lingkong said: "Even if you are not very interested, there is no reason to let others seize your original interests. In this way, tomorrow, I will be in Yuehailou. I will be the host and invite you, Mr. Mu. I have to give me face whatever I say this time."

Luo Lie saw that Zhang Lingkong wanted to give up his past grudges and was unanimous to the outside world. Chen Haodong's appearance should have affected the interests of too many people. Thinking about the fact that it would be a wise choice to adopt a strategic alliance under the current situation. He nodded and said, "Okay!"

Bai Yunfei has also encountered trouble recently. It should be said that his losses are heavier than others. The most important docks and freight yards in the French Concession are under his control. The recent strike has almost stopped his property and the losses are immeasurable. Not only that, there have been consecutive thefts in his freight yards and wharfs.

A chaotic concession is definitely not in their interests. Bai Yunfei had already guessed his purpose when he received the invitation from Zhang Lingkong.

The last time the three of them sat together was mediated by the French Consul Monpero, but this time Monpero did not return for a vacation, which prompted them to sit together because the situation was getting worse.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhang Lingkong said: "The strike is still going on, and the concession is full of messes."

Bai Yunfei said: "It's easy to fish in the muddy water. If they don't mix up the water in this pond, they won't let it go."

Zhang Lingkong nodded and said, "Several consuls chose to take a vacation at the same time, allowing the concession to continue this chaos and disorder. The so-called martial law is simply to take the opportunity to eliminate dissidents."

Bai Yunfei said: "I thought I was the only one who was in trouble."

Zhang Lingkong said: "Chen Haodong has recently acquired a lot of docks, and there are five in the public concession alone."

Bai Yunfei said: "Those small docks cannot hold on at all. If the workers strike, they have no money to make money. If they have no money to make money, they will be even more unable to meet the conditions proposed by the workers, so they can only choose to withdraw. I think Chen Haodong has made plans at all, and maybe the strike will be related to him."

Zhang Lingkong was surprisingly consistent with Bai Yunfei on this point: "I also feel that the strike did not happen before this person came to Huangpu, and there were not so many theft cases. Once he came, all the troubles came. Moreover, I checked his background. He was the grandson of Chen Yanqing, the thief. I suspected that he was the new leader of the thief."

The two realized that Luo Lie had not expressed any opinions, and Bai Yunfei said: "I heard that he is going to spend a million ocean to buy your dock. Did you agree?"

Luo Lie shook his head and said, "No, but he's a little moved."

Bai Yunfei said: "How is Yupu Pier worth one million oceans? There must be frauds."

Luo Lie smiled and said, "It is not ruled out that a thousand gold coins can buy horse bones. It is better for you to spend a million dollars and I will sell them to you."

Bai Yunfei said: "I can't bring out so many oceans."

Zhang Lingkong said: "I'm going to invite two of you here today to talk about the recent events. Who gave him the confidence to disrupt the situation?"

Bai Yunfei said: "It is a confidence to have the support of the thief. However, it is impossible to play such a big game without the support of the superior. These consuls who went on vacation may have reached a tacit understanding." He looked at Zhang Lingkong. He originally thought that Zhang Lingkong was the disruptor of Huangpu, but he could not have expected that the real disruptor was Chen Haodong. Cheng Yaojin, who came out halfway, disrupted his deployment. Although Bai Yunfei called for the wind and rain in the French Concession, he was really unsure of asking him to stand up and fight against the thief.

Zhang Lingkong said: "So we must unite. On the one hand, we must appease these workers, and on the other hand, we must be unanimous to the outside world, so that Chen Haodong can retreat in the face of difficulties."

Bai Yunfei said: "The key is not Chen Haodong. The key now is to contact those consuls who are on vacation, and only they have the ability to calm the concession."

Luo Lie said: "Although I don't know any business, I can see that the root cause of the chaos in the concession this time is that the upper class wants to reshuffle, and they want to redistribute their interests."

Zhang Lingkong and Bai Yunfei looked at each other, and both of them nodded.

Luo Lie said: "Although the concession is the land of the Chinese, we don't count it. These foreigners don't think we can get benefits here. No matter who caused this storm, if these foreign consuls acquiesced to do this, they must be based on the interests. The chaos is followed by the great rule, but the beginning of each great rule is usually accompanied by massacres. Several bloody incidents have occurred in the concession, and many people have died."

Zhang Lingkong said: "I mean we set up a business association and select a representative to talk to foreigners. As long as we can get their recognition, the following things will be easier."

Bai Yunfei said: "Have you ever thought that these foreigners just hope that we will compete with each other. If Chen Haodong is really the one who causes trouble, they will see who can give more benefits to us and Chen Haodong and then make a choice."

Luo Lie nodded, Bai Yunfei saw the essence of the problem.

Zhang Lingkong said, "Then do it all!" Although he did not explain it, everyone understood what he meant. Zhang Lingkong had already thought of killing Chen Haodong. Bai Yunfei was the same, but he did not dare to make a decision easily when he killed a leader of the thief. If Chen Haodong was really the leader of the thief, then his death would inevitably lead to a crazy counterattack of the entire thief. The consequences would be unimaginable.

Bai Yunfei said: "Then I can only talk to Chen Haodong, tell him the interests, and let him not be exploited by foreigners."

Zhang Lingkong said: "Doesn't he think we're afraid of him?"

Bai Yunfei said: "Luo Lie, this Chen Haodong has a good relationship with Miss Ma. I remember you and Miss Ma are old friends."

Luo Lie laughed, and Bai Yunfei realized because of Luo Lie's smile that his purpose had been seen through by Luo Lie.

When Luo Lie returned home, she saw Ye Qinghong cutting her hair and turning into short hair. She was preparing for the birth of the child. When Luo Lie came back, she insisted that Luo Lie evaluate her new hairstyle. Luo Lie praised her a few words, but Ye Qinghong disliked her insincere.

Ye Qinghong asked about his meeting at night, Luo Lie said briefly. Ye Qinghong immediately heard the mystery and said disdainfully: "Bai Yunfei and Zhang Lingkong probably have reached an agreement long ago. They want you to stand up."

Luo Lie said: "Although we don't have much interests in the concession and will not be as much affected as they do, it will be of no benefit to anyone if the concession continues. The unlucky people are still ordinary people."

Ye Qinghong said: "So, are you planning to find a sparrow?"

Luo Lie said: "That depends on what you mean."

Ye Qinghong said: "I think even if you go, the sparrow may not help you."

Luo Lie said: "How do you know?"

Ye Qinghong said: "Because I am a woman."

Luo Lie said: "I still plan to try it. Now even Gospel Primary School has been affected. The teachers dare not go to class, and no one takes care of the children."

Ye Qinghong said: "I'll go."

Luo Lie was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that what Ye Qinghong said was that she was going to meet the sparrow. He shook his head and said, "It seems inappropriate for you to go?"

Ye Qinghong said: "Better than you."

Luo Lie said: "You two are not even friends."

Ye Qinghong smiled and said, "So, only women understand women's thoughts best!"

The sparrow called out a glass of red wine, and Ye Qinghong only had a glass of black tea. When the sparrow habitually took out the cigarette, Ye Qinghong stopped him: "Sorry, I'm pregnant."

The first reaction of the sparrow was that what did you have to do with me when you were pregnant? Why did you say it to me? But immediately she realized what Ye Qinghong meant, smiled faintly, and took the cigarette back: "Congratulations!"

Ye Qinghong said: "Thank you! What to eat? I'll treat you!"

Sparrow said: "I have a bad appetite these two days and can't eat it."

Ye Qinghong said: "I don't want to eat either, but Luo Lie insists on letting me eat it. Actually, what I know is that he feels sorry for our children." She waved and asked the waiter to come over and order food.

The sparrow looked at Ye Qinghong and had to admit that Ye Qinghong was still so beautiful. Since she married Luo Lie, she has become more plump than before, but she is more feminine.

Ye Qinghong seemed not to notice her gaze and was concentrating on tasting the steak in front of her.

The sparrow suddenly said, "How does it feel to be a stepmother?"

Ye Qinghong said: "I treat Xiao Caihong as my biological daughter, and she doesn't treat me as her stepmother."

Sparrow said: "But after all, it's not your biological child. When your own children are born, you will have a deviant heart, even if you don't admit it."

Ye Qinghong drank a sip of black tea gracefully and smiled: "Actually, I'm earlier than you knew Luo Lie."
