After the Republic of China

Chapter 1053 Avoidance
Shao Yunshi's growth over the years is obvious to all.

Not to mention Shao Lanxiang was surprised, even Old Master Shao was a little pleasantly surprised, and kept smiling and praising.

Shao Yunshi was quite happy to get the recognition from her grandfather. After all, her grandfather was no different from others.

Shao Yunshi has now grown into a general, and his tone of voice is always very confident.

"Aunt, my divination cannot be wrong. Just tell me quickly." Shao Yunshi confirmed again.

In the past few days, Mr. Shao and his friends have been touched by the growth of Shao Yunshi, but they have not resisted her growing strength. The child has grown up, and there are some things that need to be experienced.

After hearing what Man Gu said, Shao Lanxiang glanced at her father.

Mr. Shao nodded with satisfaction in his eyes.

After getting permission, Shao Lanxiang said, "Actually, we don't know the details. It was Steward Zhang who called us..."

Shao Yunshi listened to her aunt chattering on and on about what she knew and simply repeated it. However, the more she listened, the more annoyed she became.

You know, she really didn't like those people in Peking, but there was a voice in her heart telling her that she couldn't just ignore this matter.

Otherwise, what happens at that time will no longer be under your control.

People who do calculations have a sense of crisis.

Seeing his eldest granddaughter remained silent, Mr. Shao looked gloomy and sighed, "Aunt Man, don't be angry. I will take care of this matter and will never let anyone ruin your wedding."

By the end of his words, the old man was gritting his teeth.

Shao Yunshi was in a daze, and after hearing what her grandfather said, she hurriedly said, "No, I'm not worried about that."

Old Master Shao still looked at his eldest granddaughter with heartache.

Seeing this, Shao Yunshi said helplessly: "Grandpa, don't worry. What I mean is that this matter is very strange and needs to be investigated carefully."

Shao Lanxiang immediately thought of spies when she heard this. "Why is it so weird? Tell me more about it."

Others also looked surprised.

Shao Yunshi sorted out her thoughts and said, "Speaking of which, this is probably not a secret. A ship carrying tungsten sand in Jiangxi disappeared in the river."

Tungsten?! Everyone in the room knew that this was a military-controlled substance.

"Do you suspect that it was the Japanese who did it?" Shao Lanxiang was shocked.

"I just think that Mr. Bai's arrival was too coincidental, and he brought a Japanese with him." Shao Yunshi shook her head.

"Hiss" Shao Lanxiang's face darkened. She had heard her husband muttering about the disappearance of the tungsten ore ship.

Some speculated that it was done by the local Communists, some thought it was done by the Japanese, the most common speculation was that it was pirates, and occasionally people thought it might be embezzlement.

In short, there are many different discussions in private, and the authorities are naturally investigating, but there is no conclusion yet.

Old housekeeper Zhang frowned, "The eldest lady, who is in the inner chamber, has heard about this matter. It shows that it has become a big deal."

His unintentional words frightened Shao Yunshi, and she secretly regretted losing her caution. Fortunately, they were all family.

Shao Lanxiang frowned and said, "News does travel fast in Shanghai."

Mr. Shao already had a bad feeling.

As the problem deepened, everyone was deeply shocked.

Shao Lanxiang was the most sensitive. She glanced at her father and hesitated, "Gu Man, do you think we should inform your uncle about this?"

Mr. Shao first thought of his son-in-law's future. "We have to inform Zhekai about this. If that Bai guy is really after the tungsten ore, our family might be implicated."

Butler Zhang went straight to the phone.

Shao Yunshi was dumbfounded and hurriedly stopped him, "Don't worry, this is just my guess and I can't be sure yet. Don't alarm my uncle."

Butler Zhang's hand just stopped beside the phone. For a moment, everyone hesitated.

Shao Yunshi said anxiously, don't be anxious.

After being persuaded, Mr. Shao calmed down and waved his hand for Butler Zhang to sit down.

Shao Lanxiang calmed down and asked, "Gu Man, you have a good brain, tell me what you think."

Mr. Shao also nodded.

They may not have noticed that they had subconsciously begun to treat Shao Yunshi as an adult with whom they could discuss matters.

Shao Yunshi was used to being in charge and didn't care about what her aunt said.

So, she didn't refuse and directly analyzed: "I think the Bai family has had contact with the Japanese outside the Great Wall for a long time, and it is very likely that he is working for the Japanese this time."

Old housekeeper Zhang knew something about the Bai family, and nodded in agreement, "That's right, Bai Da is not a good person. His sudden rise to wealth earlier raised many suspicious questions. I'm afraid the master behind him is really Japanese."

Shao Lanxiang thought of the Japanese targeting her family in Yangzhou and felt the same way. "I think Bai Da must have colluded with the Japanese a long time ago."

In the study, there was not a single person in the Shao family who did not dislike the Bai family.

Shao Lanxiang felt that Bai Da had already colluded with the Japanese, and no one objected.

Shao Yunshi had no actual evidence for this matter, but her intuition told her that it was true. "No matter what he did in the past, he must have been in contact with the Japanese now."

"In that case, we still have to notify your uncle." said Mr. Shao.

Shao Yunshi nodded, then shook her head, "We must notify them, but we have to find out the situation first."

"You are afraid..." Shao Lanxiang frowned but said nothing.

Shao Yunshi knew her aunt understood, "After all, there is Xiuxue here, and we can't let her ruin our family's reputation. If she does, it will make things difficult for my uncle."

When Shao Lanxiang heard this, she felt that it was right, "That's right, we still need to figure out Xiuxue's matter first."

Mr. Shao stroked his beard and said, "Then arrange for someone to investigate. This matter needs to be handled quickly."

Shao Yunshi nodded, "I'll ask Uncle Bu to check it out himself. He's an expert in this area."

Mr. Shao knew that the Bu brothers were all capable people who had been in Shanghai for many years and were definitely more capable than the people he had arranged, so he agreed.

Shao Lanxiang said: "Should we ask Xiao Liu and the others to follow? They are all equipped with guns."

In Shanghai, the forces are mixed and armed fights often occur on the streets. It is naturally safer to have a gun.

"No need. They are strangers and it would be easy to be exposed if we follow them." Shao Yunshi pushed it away directly.

Mr. Shao also thought this was a good idea. He would know now if he had no son-in-law. At least, he couldn't let his daughter get involved because of his granddaughter, and let her lose face in her husband's family in the future.

Seeing that her father did not object to her niece's proposal, Shao Lanxiang knew in her heart what the old man was worried about. She sighed secretly and said nothing.

Now that they had a plan, the few of them didn't get together anymore.

Shao Yunshi stood up and went to make arrangements.

Grandpa Shao looked at his eldest granddaughter's back at the door and sighed, "We are the ones who made the child tired."

Shao Lanxiang thought about the wedding which was not too long away and sighed, "Dad, is there really no way to discipline my brother?"

What she said was a bit rude, after all, Shao Mingkang was her elder brother.

Mr. Shao didn't preach to his daughter either.

After all, he himself had no hope for his son.

Several incidents in the family were caused by Bai, so it was no wonder that others looked down on the eldest son of the Shao family.

"I don't dare to put any hope on your eldest brother now." Old Master Shao sneered.
