Action? Are the three of them taking action?
Xu Zhuohua had a vague feeling that something was wrong. The three of them had absolutely no connection.
Cheng Muyun said, "Don't rush. Have you found the person who shot at the Arc de Triomphe today?"
Chen Hede said coldly, "Found him, locked him up."
Liang Shaozun quietly moved his chair, trying to get away from Chen Hede.
Chen Hede had no patience for this face and immediately got angry: "What do you mean by moving the chair? If you don't want to cooperate with me, just say so."
Liang Shaozun felt wronged. "Deputy Director Chen, I just have the same face as Liang Shaozun. I'm not him. Every time you look at me, it's like you want to eat me up. It's hard for me to get close to you."
Chen Hede slammed his fist on the table. "Of course I know, otherwise I would have shot you already!"
Helpless, Cheng Muyun acted as a peacemaker, saying, "Stop arguing. Since you're all in the same boat, stop with the verbal sparring."
Neither of them spoke again.
Xu Zhuohua clenched her fists quietly. From what they were saying, it seemed that Cheng Muyun had brought the people together.
Is Chen Hede protecting Lin Shuwen?
Could this mean "in the same boat"? Are Cheng Muyun and Liang Shaozun also protecting Lin Shuwen?
Cheng Muyun tapped the table with his finger. "Now the Dongxing South Line is completely under my control, and the Dongzhou Arsenal has also started construction. The first batch of guns can be shipped as early as next month."
“Based on the list of embezzled funds provided by the young marshal, I have found a suitable source of income, and the deposit can be paid at any time,” Liang Shaozun said.
The two looked at Chen Hede, who rolled his eyes at Liang Shaozun. "I'm all ready too. Once the weapons arrive in Xinhai City, we'll use the police station's warehouse. There won't be any problems with transportation."
Are they trying to resell weapons?
Xu Zhuohua suddenly felt that the plot lines were very confusing.
Wasn't arms trafficking something Cheng Muyun and Liang Shaozun were up to?
They kept private soldiers and embezzled military funds. These things seem to have nothing to do with Chen Hede, right?
How come Chen Hede is now involved as well?
Xu Zhuohua was certain that, in all the official and unofficial histories she knew about Cheng Muyun, Cheng Muyun's only accomplice was Liang Shaozun, and he had absolutely no connection with Chen Hede.
The two should have been like parallel lines that would never intersect.
Is history not comprehensive enough?
For the first time, Xu Zhuohua began to doubt her own profession.
Dancers came to the private room behind, and music started playing. Xu Zhuohua could no longer hear the voices from next door, so she had to give up.
Xinghua pulled the distraught Xu Zhuohua along.
"Miss, what's wrong?"
Xu Zhuohua had a question in her mind, a question that no one could answer.
It was like a knot in her heart, rubbing against her chest and making her uneasy.
"Apricot Blossom, if you suddenly discover one day that something you've always firmly believed in is a lie, what would you do?"
"Hmm?" Xinghua thought carefully. "I used to think that masters were masters and maids were maids, but Miss told me that everyone is equal, so I believed it, and I found that it is true."
Xu Zhuohua gave a wry smile.
History only provides a small part of the individual's story; it is general and devoid of personal emotion, so it cannot describe in detail a person's inner journey.
Just as Liang Shaozun was already dead, he was replaced by a new person, and no one noticed, which is equivalent to deceiving history, and history in turn deceived Xu Zhuohua.
Therefore, it is possible that Cheng Muyun is doing good deeds in secret, and he is showing his bad side to attract attention.
The real Cheng Muyun is actually a patriotic young man who is willing to play a supporting role and help others.
Xu Zhuohua suddenly stopped in her tracks.
Night has fallen. There is no moon tonight; dark clouds cover the sky, and the wind is picking up; it's about to rain.
Xu Zhuohua stood outside the gate of the Paramount Ballroom, next to Cheng Muyun's car.
She preferred to believe that Cheng Muyun was a wolf in sheep's clothing, and even if it was just a straw of hope, she wanted to grasp it.
If Cheng Muyun is a good person, Xu Zhuohua will definitely write an unofficial history herself, not for any other reason than to clear the name of this handsome man who has been cursed for a hundred years.
Xinghua pulled Xu Zhuohua's arm, "Miss, it's about to rain, let's go back first."
Xu Zhuohua stubbornly shook her head.
Xu Zhuohua always had a bias towards Cheng Muyun, and she wanted to hear Cheng Muyun admit it with her own ears.
Instead of Cheng Muyun, they met Chen Hede.
Chen Hede walked out of the Paramount Ballroom with a displeased look on his face. He took out a cigarette and was about to light it when he looked up and saw Xu Zhuohua. He then calmly put the cigarette away.
"Miss Xu?"
Xu Zhuohua knew that Chen Hede had protected Lin Shuwen, so his attitude towards him softened. "Deputy Director Chen."
"It's about to rain, Miss Xu. Are you waiting for someone here?"
Xu Zhuohua nodded, "I was just passing by and saw Cheng Muyun's car, so I waited for him here."
Chen Hede smiled meaningfully, "Young Marshal Cheng is in the middle of a meeting, which will probably take a long time. Why don't you wait inside the Paramount Ballroom, Miss Xu?"
Xu Zhuohua shook her head. "I don't like Paramount."
Chen Hede laughed, "Although Miss Xu doesn't like the Paramount, the Paramount welcomes Miss Xu very much and is eager to perform her dances."
The man took two umbrellas out of the car and handed them to Xu Zhuohua, who accepted them, saying, "Thank you."
Chen Hede turned around to get into the car, opened the door, and then turned back.
"It's not safe at night, I'll wait with Miss Xu."
Xu Zhuohua felt embarrassed, "No need."
Chen Hede, however, spoke to himself, saying, "Yesterday, the police station arrested a criminal who fired a gun at the Arc de Triomphe, almost murdering Dr. Lin."
