On the bus
Chen Ping drives
Yang will sit in the passenger seat
The car drove on the wide road, with bustling shops and noisy crowds on both sides.
The man in the back seat had deep eyes hidden beneath his military cap, and below his straight nose were thin, cold lips.
Her lips were pursed, and the tight lip line gave off a sense of loneliness.
"General, the Axe Gang will likely come after Miss Xu soon. Even the Xu family might not be able to protect her. Shouldn't we lend a hand?"
He didn't just shamelessly ask again.
The truth is, he had been by the general's side for three whole years, yet he had never seen a woman appear beside the general.
There were even rumors in the army that the general was not interested in women because he preferred men.
As the general's personal bodyguard, he inexplicably became the man "favored" by the general.
Yang was in a terrible state of mind.
It's truly a situation where endless bitterness is stuck in my heart, with nowhere to vent it.
He's a man of steel.
The man's eyelids were slightly closed, as if he were fast asleep.
Yang dared not ask any more questions and turned his head away.
"You should be worried about the Axe Gang, not her."
A seemingly casual remark left Chen Ping and Yang Jiang completely stunned.
Why worry about the Axe Gang?
They are a large gang with 50,000 followers, and are the object of great efforts to win over warlords of all sizes in Shanghai and even the Yangtze River Delta region.
Would Du Wansan be afraid of a little girl?

Bai Qianmo returned to the Xu family.
As they walked into the inner courtyard and passed the small garden, they encountered Xu Jinwei and Kong Ling'er sitting in the pavilion.
Bai Qianmo initially intended to pretend she hadn't seen them, but then something occurred to her.
He stopped in his tracks, a calculating glint in his eyes.
Xu Jinwei and Kong Ling'er had already seen Bai Qianmo by then.
"Jin En!" Kong Ling'er greeted him with a smile.
Bai Qianmo turned around and looked at the two of them.
Xu Jinwei walked towards her side by side with Kong Ling'er, her face cold.
"What mischief have you been up to all day? You even went out dressed as a man! Xu Jin'en, have you forgotten that you are the fourth young lady of the Xu family? What kind of person are you, looking neither male nor female?"
Bai Qianmo lowered her eyes and glanced at her outfit.
One hand was casually slipped into his pocket, exuding a hint of arrogance.
If Kong Ling'er hadn't already known that Xu Jin'en was a girl, she would have found the young man before her to be radiant, dazzling, and captivating.
"Isn't this outfit cool?" Bai Qianmo raised her eyebrows and smiled, blinking her captivating eyes.
Kong Ling'er, standing to the side, nodded blankly, a hint of shyness on her face.
"You look very handsome in this outfit."
"Ling'er, you... Humph, you have no backbone."
Xu Jinwei was angry that her friend was a fence-sitter. She put one hand on her hip and struck a pose as the older sister.
"Now that you're back in the Xu family, you should act like the fourth young lady of the Xu family. Don't go out all day dressed in a mismatched way. If no one knows, that's fine, but if word gets out, it will be the Xu family that loses face."
"Second sister, do you want to make money?"
"Make...make money?" Xu Jinwei was taken aback.
"Yes, I have a great deal right now that I guarantee a profit."
A gleam of light shone in Xu Jinwei's eyes.
Put the reprimands aside for the time being.
Their tone softened.
"Tell me quickly, how do you make money?"
Although the Xu family is indeed the richest family in Shanghai, the financial power has always been in the hands of the eldest aunt. The monthly interest is so small that it is not enough for her to buy clothes and cosmetics.
As a daughter of the Xu family, Xu Jinwei has an innate desire to make money.
"Let's talk in the pavilion."
Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, Bai Qianmo invited them to sit down and have a detailed discussion.
The three of them sat down
Bai Qianmo proactively poured a cup of tea for each of them, and then poured one for herself.
He took a sip of tea and, under the watchful eyes of Xu Jinwei and Kong Ling'er, spoke slowly.
"I bought the Lanling Teahouse."
"Pfft!" Xu Jinwei spat out all the tea she had just drunk.
She coughed twice and turned around to look at Bai Qianmo with a look of astonishment.
Where are you referring to?
Was she hallucinating?
"Lanling Teahouse!"
Upon hearing this place again, Xu Jinwei showed a shocked expression.
"Are you sure it's Lanling Teahouse in Shanghai? The Xu family has tried many methods to take it over, but they've never been able to. What makes you, a little girl, think you can take over Lanling Teahouse?"
Bai Qianmo naturally couldn't tell the two of them that she had killed the Axe Gang members at the teahouse.
Although the truth will eventually come out, let's get the ten thousand silver dollars first... It's not too late to talk about other things after we get it.
“The teahouse owner was going to retire to the countryside and was eager to sell the business. I happened to hear the news and bought the teahouse from him.”
How much did you pay for it?
"Ten thousand silver dollars!"
Kong Ling'er looked puzzled: "Lanling Teahouse is a century-old establishment. Even if the owner is eager to sell, he wouldn't sell it to you so cheaply. Jin'en, have you been scammed?"
Bai Qianmo took out the resale contract, and Xu Jinwei and Kong Ling'er examined it carefully.
"Is this really a contract between you and the owner of Lanling Teahouse?"
"Genuine, guaranteed!"
Xu Jinwei snapped out of her shock and was overjoyed.
"Okay, so you want to recruit us? How much more money do you need? I can squeeze out a little if I tighten my belt."
Bai Qianmo did a careful calculation and found that Xu Jinen had only saved a few hundred silver dollars at most. He would need to rely on external help to raise ten thousand silver dollars.
Xu Jinwei and Kong Ling'er are currently existing shareholders.
"We're still short 10,000 silver dollars."
The tables and chairs were smashed, and we need to redo the renovations, which will be another expense.
Therefore, the few hundred dollars she had were just enough.
Xu Jinwei glared fiercely at Bai Qianmo.
"You little rascal, aren't you? You're trying to get us to be your suckers? You're penniless and you still dare to sign such a big deal? You must have a death wish."
Bai Qianmo said lightly, "It's only ten thousand silver dollars. If you don't pay, I have plenty of ways to make money. I'm only bringing you in because we're sisters. If there's money to be made, I'll naturally think of you."
Xu Jinwei pouted, "I don't believe you for a second."
You naughty girl!
