Loneliness is a natural enemy of women.

Especially for a woman like Masako Akiyama who is in her early thirties and is charming and uneasy, once she is allowed to stay alone in the empty room, it will be even more uncomfortable than going to jail.

Some things are known to you when you eat the marrow and taste. Once your heart indulges in it, you will not be able to take them back.

Jin Jiu was afraid of death, so he naturally didn't dare to go to Huamei Apartment again. He didn't even dare to answer Akiyama Masako's call. As long as Akiyama Masako's phone call came into the office, he asked his subordinates to make excuses to shirk them.

A smart woman like Masako Akiyama doesn't understand that Jin Jiu either has a new love or is deliberately hiding from her.

She is not the kind of woman who sticks her to her, otherwise she would not have let the "military advisor" be loyal to her for so many years. She has her own purpose, so she has always been very restrained.

Once no one cares about it and feels that she is free, she begins to indulge herself.

She was originally a sociable person, but now she is just returning to her old career. Jin Jiu's people are only responsible for protecting her safety and not restricting her freedom.

Of course, Jin Jiu didn't dare to do this.

"Tonight, Masako Akiyama went to the Paramount Ballroom and left at nine o'clock in the evening!"

"No. 21, Xianlesi Ballroom, I met a little white-faced guy and had a hot fight..."

"No. 23, 181 General Assembly of the French Concession..."

...

"Fourth brother, has that Gu Xiaobai been sentenced?"

"I was sentenced to death, deliberately taking the crime for others and obstructing judicial justice, and sentenced to six months in prison." Tan Sidao.

"You can find a way to get the person out." Lu Xiyan ordered.

"I understand, are you asking this Gu Xiaobai to deal with Masako Akiyama?" Tan Si said in surprise. He admired Lu Xiyan a little. How did he think of this method?

"It's all for everything. Gu Xiaobai's nature is not too bad. If this person is used well, it's still good." Lu Xiyan nodded. Humans are originally a complex animal. In this era, we cannot use simple right or wrong to distinguish between good or bad people.

"I understand, I'll do this now. The warden of the French Concession Prison is Sun Xiong and a member of the Military Control Commission. This is not a difficult task." Tan Si nodded and said.

Three days later.

Gu Xiaobai came out of prison and was released on medical parole. It has been almost two months since he surrendered himself to the present. This is like a nightmare for him.

There is no loss, no knowledge of the preciousness of freedom.

He swore that he wouldn't want to go back to this place where he had nightmares every night.

Prison is really not a place for people to stay.

He didn't understand that he was so down and was penniless, and had no relatives and no reason in Shanghai. How could anyone arrange for medical parole to be taken out of prison?

There is no free lunch in the world. He has been in Shanghai for many years and is very clear about this truth, so freedom comes at a price.

"dad!"

"Nannan..." Gu Xiaobai rubbed his eyes and thought he had read it wrong. At the door of the prison, a woman wearing a simple white cheongsam and a little girl were standing there.

As soon as the little girl saw Gu Xiaobai, she broke free from the woman's hand, ran over, and suddenly threw herself into Gu Xiaobai's arms.

"Nannan, my good baby, let dad see, you have grown taller again..." Gu Xiaobai threw down the things in his hand and picked up the little girl.

"Dad, mom said you made a mistake and were locked up, right?" the little girl asked naively.

"Yes, Dad made a mistake and almost won't see you and mom." Gu Xiaobai felt extremely distressed. Although he was a liar, cheating money and sex, at least he had a bottom line, that is, he would not hurt lives.

If you love and do things, otherwise he would not have escaped the punishment of the law several times.

He hugged his daughter and came to the woman: "Xiaofen, why are you here?"

"Someone brought us from the countryside of Suzhou and said you were released from prison today." The woman named Xiaofen said gently, and she did not feel dissatisfied with her husband being jailed.

"Sorry, Xiaofen, I have made you and Nannan suffer over the years." Gu Xiaobai felt a little guilty. He wandered around alone in Shanghai, but left his wife and children in the countryside to suffer.

"Xiaobai, I know that everything you do is for us mother and mother." He Xiaofen said calmly.

"By the way, how did you come here?" Gu Xiaobai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and asked.

"It was them who brought us my mother and I here." He Xiaofen pointed to the shiny black car parked behind him. There were two people sitting inside, just watching the three of them.

"Who are they?" Gu Xiaobai asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Gu, please get in the car with your child." The car door opened, Guo Hanjie got out of the car and reached out with a move.

"Sir, do we know this gentleman?" Gu Xiaobai asked in surprise.

"I'll know you in the future. Mr. Gu, please, someone wants to see you." Guo Hanjie said.

Gu Xiaobai knew that if the three of them didn't get in the car, they were afraid they wouldn't be able to leave. He could get out of prison and no one could clear the relationship.

...

"This is a house that the fourth brother rented temporarily for you and your wife. It is a small courtyard with a unique door. From now on, you will live here." Guo Hanjie led Gu Xiaobai and his family into a house in Shikumen, a two-story building.

"The fourth brother is waiting for you in the study on the second floor, so you can go up alone."

"Thank you."

In the study, Tan Si sat alone in the room. The light in the room dimmed a little, so the desk lamp on the desk was on.

"Are you the fourth brother?" Gu Xiaobai was a little nervous. When he saw Tan Si's aura, he knew that the person in front of him was not an ordinary person. He could still see what kind of person he could mess with.

"Sit down."

"Hey!" Gu Xiaobai found a seat and sat down.

"Do you know why you were re-sentenced?" Tan Si stood up and walked over and asked.

"Can it be the fourth brother, you..." Gu Xiaobai stood up again nervously.

"Gu Xiaobai, you are a smart person. You know that there is no free lunch in the world. I have worked hard to help you get rid of your crime and took you out of prison. You should be glad that you are still worthwhile, otherwise, you should clear yourself up."

"Mr. Gu understands that thanks to the fourth brother for saving his life. I will never forget it. If the fourth brother is demolished, Gu will definitely go to Tang Taohuo and will never refuse."

"What I want is your words." Tan Si nodded slightly, picked up an envelope on the table and handed it over, "What you want to do is in this envelope."

Gu Xiaobai reached out to take it, shook it gently, and a photo fell out.

"This woman is Masako Akiyama. Just find a way to get close to her and report her whereabouts at any time." Tan Si said.

"Japanese?"

"Yes, she is indeed a Japanese, but she won't tell you this. Your task is to get close to her and grasp her whereabouts."

“That’s all?”

"Remember, this woman is very vigilant. She will definitely investigate your past. Your identity cannot be hidden, but we have arranged a statement for you. How to respond depends on your on-site ability." Tan Si said.

"Okay, do I need it..."

"As long as your wife doesn't care, you can do whatever you want, but you have to remember one thing that you must report her whereabouts at any time." Tan Sidao.

"When you complete the task, we will take care of your wife and children on your behalf." Tan Sidao.

“Did the person in the photo remember?”

"Remember." Tan Si took back the photo and said, "I picked up the person you came here today. He will contact you at any time. You only have one day to reunite with your wife and children today."

"Fourth brother, can you tell me why you asked me to do this?" Gu Xiaobai asked.

"You will understand in the future. Knowing too much now may not be beneficial to you. Remember what I said. If the task is not completed, you are not allowed to come here, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences." Tan Si solemnly patted Gu Xiaobai on the shoulder.

"Fourth brother, thank you." Gu Xiaobai bowed to Tan Si's back. He knew that his wife and daughter would definitely not have a good result when they fell into Zhou Liuwu's hands, but seeing their safety means that the fourth brother in front of him is different from those of the Zodiac.

...

"Sir, do you want to make a bet? How many days will Gu Xiaobai need to get involved with Masako Akiyama?"

"Okay, what are you betting on?" Lu Xiyan smiled.

"I heard that your sketch is awesome. If I win, how about you draw a sketch for me?" Tan Si said, "I'll leave it to my son?"

"Is Susu pregnant?"

"Well, I just got pregnant." Tan Si was very happy and was about to become a parent. This feeling was never before.

"Listen to me, send Susu to Hong Kong, at least it is safer." Lu Xiyan suggested.

"I mentioned this to her. She didn't want to go and insisted on being with me." Tan Si said helplessly, "This is how women are. Only when they have to be by your side can she feel at ease."

"It's good to be together, so you can save your concerns and longing, but you have to give them a name." Lu Xiyan reminded again.

"Well, I plan to get a marriage certificate." Tan Si said, "If you want to get a wedding, wait until the child is born."

"That's right." Lu Xiyan smiled, "Don't worry, even if I win, I will draw one for your family of three."

"Then it's decided, I think one week is enough."

"A week is too long, three days." Lu Xiyan said, "A woman is enough to fall in love with a man at first sight. If you don't call, it will be difficult."

"Okay, I don't have such a long patience to wait." Tan Si smiled.

"Fourth brother..."

After listening to his subordinates' reports, Tan Si walked over with surprise and lowered his voice and said to Lu Xiyan: "The Metropolitan Dance Hall, Gu Xiaobai and Masako Akiyama have sex."

"So fast?"
