October [-]th, three days before Mr. Sun's arrival in Hong Kong.

A rickshaw drove the rich businessman Li Yutang through the streets and alleys in Central. The man who pulled the cart was Ah Si, a servant of Li’s family. The typhoon some time ago destroyed some weak buildings on Hong Kong Island. Then, in a blink of an eye, more buildings were rebuilt, making this central ring more prosperous.

Just as the rickshaw turned into an alley, a group of marchers shouting slogans appeared in front of them. Seeing that the road was blocked, Ah Si had no choice but to stop the car, wipe off his sweat, and planned to wait for the marchers to pass before continuing on.

Recently, the Flower Planter Daily reported the establishment of the League and the news that Mr. Sun was coming to Hong Kong. Many patriotic youths took to the streets to parade in order to wake up more compatriots and raise donations for the League.

Sitting in the car, Li Yutang looked at the young faces in the parade crowd with complicated emotions. As a businessman, he could not understand the purpose of the parade, but he knew that his old friend Chen Shaobai was behind the parade. Also has his credit.

Because last night, in the name of fundraising, Chen Shaobai gave 3000 Hong Kong dollars to the autumn wind from him.

As the parade gradually approached, a familiar voice suddenly came to his ears. Li Yutang followed the prestige, and his expression changed suddenly. His son Li Chongguang was in the crowd, shouting slogans in support of Mr. Handwritten flyer.

Li Yutang got out of the car quickly, squeezed into the crowd, knocked out the leaflets in his son's hand, and walked out with his son.

What he didn't expect was that his son, who was always honest and obedient at home, would actually rebel against this old man in public.

Li Yutang raised the civilized stick in his hand and drew it, but Ah Si stood in front of his young master and bore his anger for his son.

Seeing the bright red blood on Ah Si's forehead, Li Yutang also calmed down. Ah Si took the opportunity to intercede for the young master. Before he, the father, agreed, his son Li Chongguang took the opportunity to sneak into the crowd of parades and disappeared. trace.

Li Yutang looked at Ah Si who disobeyed him in order to protect his son, and scolded him intentionally. friend Chen Shaobai.

"Go, go to the Flower Planter Daily!"

When it came to Huahuajia Daily, Li Yutang asked Ah Si to go to the nearby medical clinic to treat the wound. He rushed into the newspaper office angrily, and when he saw Chen Shaobai, he asked loudly:

"My son took to the streets to raise funds, do you know, does it have anything to do with you, I only had such a son at the age of 40, what do you want to do!"

Chen Shaobai showed shame at first, but soon became calm: "I just explained some revolutionary principles to Chongguang, and that was his own choice!"

"What to choose? I don't care about how much money I have given you over the years. Even this newspaper is funded by me. I understand that you are patriotic, but you have brought my son into such a dangerous matter." .”

Li Yutang said angrily: "Do you know what Smith from the police station told me, this time when Mr. Sun came to Hong Kong, the Qing government sent killers and guns!"

He pointed at Chen Shaobai and asked, "Have you told me about these dangers? Have you mentioned them to me?"

Li Yutang got mad at Chen Shaobai, all the staff in the newspaper office stopped their work and looked at this side, except for his roar, no one made a sound.

But at this moment, someone suddenly asked: "Excuse me, who is Mr. Chen Shaobai?"

Li Yutang, who still wanted to go crazy, couldn't help but choked up. He turned his head and saw two young men who didn't know each other. The newspaper office was full of like-minded revolutionaries like Chen Shaobai. He didn't have to worry about it, but when outsiders came, he wouldn't Well no more yelling.

Angrily, she turned around, turned her back to everyone, and wanted to wait for Chen Shaobai to settle the matter before finding him.

Chen Shaobai adjusted his glasses, stabilized his mood, and said to the visitor: "I am Chen Shaobai, you are."

Those two people walked over immediately with a smile: "Mr. Chen, I found you, we are"

They talked and walked this way with a smile. When they said 'we are', their smiles suddenly converged: "We are here to invite you to walk."

When he said this, he was already approaching, and one of them slashed Chen Shaobai's neck with a hand knife casually.

This action immediately caused a burst of exclamation from the newspaper, Li Yutang also felt that something was wrong, turned around suddenly, and saw his old friend striding out with someone carrying him on his shoulders.

"Hey, what are you going to do!" Li Yutang hurried to grab the man who was carrying his old friend, but another person kicked him in the waist, kicked him like a gourd, and hit him on the table leg. stopped.

At this time, the staff in the newspaper office also reacted, and several young men rushed over to stop those two people and save Chen Shaobai.

But what was unexpected was that the person carrying Chen Shaobai was as slippery as a loach, with a single step and a sway of his body, he avoided the rushing person without stopping.

And the person who kicked Li Yutang down took out a short knife with a cold light from his arms, chopped down a newspaper staff member with one knife, and then pointed the blood-stained short knife fiercely around The person: "Whoever comes over will be hacked to death!"

This kind of operation immediately frightened everyone. Those who wanted to rush to save others were so frightened that they stood still and did not dare to go forward. In the blink of an eye, those two walked out of the newspaper office with Chen Shaobai.

Li Yutang struggled to get up and shouted, "Call the police!"

Since it was Li Yutang who called the police and the celebrity Chen Shaobai was arrested, Smith's assistant went to the police in person, but after the two left, they seemed to disappear without any clues.

Li Yutang was kicked, although he was not seriously injured, but he was old, after being frightened by this, he fell ill when he got home, and he got better after taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor.

Later in the day, Smith finished his business and went to visit Li's house. Li Yutang was lying on his side on the bed with his eyes closed, while the young and beautiful Fourth Aunt Yueru was rubbing his waist.

Seeing Smith coming, Li Yutang hurriedly got up with the help of his fourth wife, and asked about his old friend Chen Shaobai, who was kidnapping and murdering him in broad daylight.

Smith shook his head, sighed and said: "I told you, the imperial court sent killers over here, and Chen Shaobai is the head of the League here, so it doesn't matter who did it!"

"Then hurry up and arrest people, and save Shaobai!" Li Yutang said urgently.

Smith was a little annoyed, and said loudly in a drake voice: "You arrest people when you say they are arrested, what about the evidence? I am a policeman, and I have to use evidence to do things!"

"Also, if you say you save people, you save them? Then do you know where Chen Shaobai was arrested? If you want to know, please tell me, and I will rescue him right now!"

After finishing speaking, the two old friends stared like angry children, so frightened that the fourth aunt, Tai Yueru, dared not make a sound.

After a long while, Smith waved his hand and said, "Okay, I will try my best, you should take care of your wounds, I'll go first!"

He waved his hand, turned around and left, but stopped at the door, turned around, and reminded again: "What happened on the day of NO.15 was too dangerous, you must not get involved!"

After speaking, he waved his hand again and stepped out.

Seeing Li Yutang's sad face, Fourth Aunt Tai Yueru couldn't help carefully persuading Li Yutang when she thought about the conversation just now: "Master, if what Smith said is dangerous, can you listen to him and stop participating?"

Li Yutang patted Yueru's hand, sighed and said: "If you don't do some things, Chongguang will blame me, and I will blame myself too. Hey." He said with a heavy sigh.

Yueru's eyes fluctuated, and there was hesitation and worry in it. She pursed her lips. In the end, she didn't say anything, but her fingers clenched and then loosened, and then clenched again. It seemed that at this moment, she had made some decision.
