above the point of the knife

Chapter 31
Seeing Bai Yulan in the car, Zhou Sen was a little surprised, but he didn't go up to say hello. He didn't remember most of what happened that night.

But he knew that he must have had some "pleasant" things with Bai Yulan.

There must be no doubt about it.

When I woke up, the messy sheets could prove everything.

Perhaps it was because of this that Zhou Sen always had a strange feeling for this woman. He didn't care about his original emotional experience, but Bai Yulan was the first woman in his life with whom he truly had physical contact.

The carriage stopped at a bank (bank) in front. Looking at the signboard, it was an official bank of Songjiang Province. It said it was run by the government, but it was actually a private bank, but the government must have participated in the shares.

This is a local bank. Apart from being unable to issue currency, it has great autonomy.

Bai Yulan is the owner of the Ningxiang Restaurant, so she must be considered a rich person. It is natural to deal with banks, otherwise, if the money is kept at home, will it cause mold?

She must have come to the bank to handle related business.

Of course Zhou Sen thought so.

"Wu En, you go to the front for a while, I will smoke a cigarette and rest for a while." Zhou Sen pushed Wu En away.

"Oh, okay." Wu En nodded without doubt, and walked forward. Anyway, it's on this street, such a wide street, and you can see it at a glance.

Seeing Bai Yulan and her personal maid entered the bank, he also walked in together, but among the people working in the hall, no one was seen.

A person like Bai Yulan must be a big family, and the treatment is different from the small households in the hall. She should have a special manager to serve her.

Zhou Sen took out a pack of cigarettes, went to the chair in the waiting area and sat down, lit a cigarette and started smoking.

He watched people come in, she must still go out through this door, her carriage is still waiting outside.

He didn't have any purpose, he just wanted to see people.

Before her butt was hot and she had only taken two puffs of the cigarette, she saw Bai Yulan walking down from the second floor with a rather ugly face.

Zhou Sen's heart skipped a beat, what happened, he quickly turned his face away, but don't let her see him.

Bai Yulan noticed Zhou Sen from there, and walked out of the Yinhao gate in a huff, got into the carriage parked at the gate, and then walked away.

Zhou Sen frowned, did something happen?

Forget it, I don't have enough to worry about my own affairs, I worry about what other people do, but my feet accidentally go up to the second floor of the bank.

"Stop, upstairs is an important place for bank accounts, please do not enter unless you have!" Zhou Sen was stopped.

"Blind you dog eyes, Master Zhou, do you dare to stop?" There was a light shout from upstairs, followed by a middle-aged man in a suit who couldn't get down quickly, with great enthusiasm, "Master Zhou, I'm new here, I don't know you , don't be offended."

"Well, it's okay, manager, I'll ask you something." Zhou Sen waved his hand, indicating that he didn't care about it.

"You say?"

"Did Boss Bai from Ningxiang Pavilion come here just now?"

The manager immediately showed a hint of embarrassment, and smiled coquettishly: "Master Zhou, what do you want to ask, just say it."

"Your bank also has business dealings with Boss Bai?"

"Our bank has no business relationship with Ningxiang Pavilion, but Boss Bai wants to borrow 30 yuan from our bank."

"Such a large loan, your bank can make money, but how can I see that Boss Bai is not happy?"

"Business, of course we have to do it. After all, no one will be troubled by money, but Boss Bai's conditions are too harsh, we can't agree to it." The manager explained.

"The interest rate you gave is too high?"

"That's not true. What we offer is the normal interest rate, and we even give a certain degree of relaxation in the terms of repayment, but Boss Bai wants to add a clause to the agreement, requiring us not to transfer the loan debt at any time. We cannot Accepted." said the manager.

"Oh, that's right, I understand, I understand." Zhou Sen chuckled.

He didn't ask further, Bai Yulan must be in trouble, otherwise, even if she needs a loan to pass the customs, there is no need to add such a clause to the agreement.

"Master Zhou, why are you interested in this Boss Bai? I would like to advise you, don't provoke this woman, she is in danger now." The manager said aloud.

"Oh?"

"Forget it, you are better informed and know more than me, so I won't say more." The manager retracted his words.

"Okay, I'm here today to inquire about how your bank's deposit interest rate is calculated. I have a little money on hand, so I don't worry about keeping it at home..."

……

Bai Yulan is in trouble. Do you want to help? Although I don't have much contact with her, from what I know about her, this woman has a very strong self-esteem, and she will never ask others easily.

The cash and gold and silver in his family's safe add up to hundreds of thousands. This money is kept in the safe, and he is worried about thieves thinking about it every day.

Why don't you take it out and help Bai Yulan, the money in the safe is a bunch of dead things, maybe it's still a good investment, he can't fight against Ivanovic now, he wants to get back Papa Anthony's money It is difficult for a company, but it can't sit still.

In case something happens, the family is ransacked and the family is wiped out, the wealth is cheaper than the puppet Manchukuo police and Japanese.

I need to find an opportunity to talk to Bai Yulan.

This money cannot be spent casually.

Let's put this matter aside, let's save that bastard Ye San'er first.

……

At noon, I took Wu En to the mutton noodle restaurant that Ye San'er introduced. I ate three bowls of mutton noodle soup in one sitting.

After he ate his belly full, he also said that dinner can be saved and there is no need to eat it. Zhou Sen, who was so angry, gave him a chestnut on the forehead!
Then he gave Wu En a class on "scientific diet". He overeats when he is young, and he knows the consequences when he is old.

As a result, Wu En said, "I don't know if I can live to that time." Zhou Sen didn't know what to say, and finally he could only let out a long sigh.

To have enough food is a deep-seated pursuit for our nation.

Because we've lived so long in hunger and poverty, barely living a good life.

Eat too much, exercise a little to digest.

Only then did they board a tram with Wu En, heading for Taiping Bridge outside the road, and the terminal of the tram was Taiping Bridge.

Taipingqiao used to be Sankeshu, which was a Japanese expatriate area, where ordinary Japanese expatriates mainly lived and worked on the station.

Jiang's big car shop, this is the place where Zhou Sen and Gu Laoliu agreed to meet.

Zhou Sen and Wu En came a little earlier. Before Gu Lao Liu and the others came, they found a table in the store, ordered a pot of tea, and sat down.

The shop owner doesn't know them either, but people often come to have a rest and drink tea in the shop, which is normal.

I didn't care too much, just greeted normally.

At the appointed time, Gu Laoliu came in with two people. When he saw Zhou Sen, he hurried over. They all changed into casual clothes, otherwise they would have been exposed wearing police black skin.

"Boss." Gu Lao Liu sat down, poured a cup of tea, and drank it all in two sips.

"Only two?" Zhou Sen asked in surprise, the reward for his expulsion was quite a lot.

"I just brought two of them here, and arranged for the rest to go to the gambling house to keep an eye on them. The merchants here are more or less related to the gambling house. There are so many of us, and we are all unfamiliar faces. I'm afraid It will alert the other party!" Gu Lao Liu explained.

Zhou Sen nodded. He is still a little immature, and he really needs to learn and strengthen in this respect.

"I'll go in with Wu En in a while, and you stay outside to respond. If something happens, I'll send you a signal," Zhou Sen said.

"What signal is that?"

"Come out within half an hour, which means there is nothing wrong. If you don't come out within an hour, you should rush in to save people and call the police at the same time." Zhou Sen gritted his teeth and said decisively.

"If they are against the boss, it means that they are not afraid of the police, even if they call the police, it will be useless." Gu Lao Liu.

"When you called the police, you said that I came to Taipingqiao Casino to investigate the case, and found that Soviet and Russian spies were operating in it." Zhou Sen let out a haha, pulling the tiger's skin and pulling the banner, who wouldn't know that?

No matter how powerful Qin Laoqi is behind the Taipingqiao Casino, the charge of "connecting with the Soviet Union" may not be able to bear the head on his shoulders.

Gu Laoliu's eyes lit up, this trick is so good!

"That old six, rent a car for backup!" Before getting up to leave, Zhou Sen thought of something again, and turned around to tell Gu Lao Liu.

"clear."

……

"Taiping Bridge Casino!"

A plaque with five large characters hangs horizontally on the gate. This pen, if it has the ambition of Lingyun, is extraordinary!

I don't know if it was made by that "famous artist", it seems that there is no name left, it seems that it is not worth mentioning.

Although no one is allowed to enter here, there are four burly men standing at the door all the time. Judging from their attire, they are all uniform, with bulging waists, and they should all be equipped with weapons.

As soon as you enter the casino, a heat wave mixed with a pungent smell rushes straight in. There is the smell of powder, the sour smell of feet, and the smell of opium. It is really sour!
Zhou Sen almost had the feeling of vomiting out all the noodles he ate at noon.

Although the original body occasionally played cards and gambled to relax, but he would not come to such a smoky place, it was too much to bear.

But for some people, the taste here is already sweet.

After explaining his purpose, someone led him and Wu En through the hall, and then through a long corridor to a magnificent room.

Although the floor of the room is covered with expensive carpets, various lamps and ornaments are not ordinary, but the layout of the room is completely in the style of nouveau riche, without any rules and aesthetics.

The only thing that caught Zhou Sen's eyes was that the huge chair was actually covered with a piece of finished blue wolf skin.

This thing is extremely rare in later generations, even in this era, I am afraid that not many people can have it.

A young man was sitting on the wolf fur, with his legs crossed, playing with a sharp knife in his hand. The knife in his hand was like a toy top.

On the table, there is still a sip of residual wine in the glass, amber liquid, and the bottle next to it shows that it is brandy.

Zhou Sen recognized it.

Qin Lang, nickname: Qinglang, the second son of Qin Qiye, the leader of the underworld outside the Tao, and the person in charge of the Taipingqiao Casino.
