After the Republic of China

Chapter 1067 New Situation

Everything that happened in Jiang Mansion seemed like a dream.

After a beating and a scolding by Mr. Shao and his daughter Shao Lanxiang, they finally made the stubborn and stupid Shao Xiuxue regain some sanity.

She calmed down a bit, and the adults stopped chasing her and shouting about killing her. After all, they were all civilized people with status.

Old Master Shao couldn't bear to see Shao Xiuxue looking so sloppy, so he asked her to wash up first before talking.

Unexpectedly, they found something extraordinary in her clothes.

Speaking of this matter, it was all thanks to Xiao Cui's carefulness and cleverness.

In order to prevent Shao Xiuxue from embarrassing herself, the person who helped her wash and dress was Shao Lanxiang's personal maid, Xiao Cui.

When she was helping the second young lady pack her underwear, a piece of paper fell out from inside.

If Shao Yunshi were here, she would know that this was a piece of paper written in Mongolian.

Xiao Cui was smart and put it into her sleeve without making a sound.

Shao Xiuxue was probably tired from making so much trouble that she didn't think about this for a while, so nothing went wrong.

Originally, even if others found this piece of paper, no one would be able to recognize Mongolian, which was probably why Shao Xiuxue didn't think much about it.

But who asked Shao Lanxiang and Mr. Shao to know each other?

This family is full of academic nerds, and it’s not just bragging.

As soon as Xiao Cui handed the paper to the two masters, things went smoothly.

With this, Shao Lanxiang and Old Man Shao started the interrogation directly, and even cut off any contact she had with the outside world.

Shao Xiuxue realized how serious the situation was at this time, so she didn't dare to make trouble anymore and waited obediently for her grandfather and aunt's instructions.

Since she still had some conscience, the adults let her go for the time being, but they disciplined her more strictly.

There was a rare sense of shock in Shao Lanxiang's retelling.

In the dark night, the lights flicker.

Shao Lanxiang's face looked dim, perhaps she was too tired.

Shao Yunshi knew that her aunt was a little frightened. After all, what Shao Xiuxue did was related to the reputation and future of the Shao family.

She glanced at her grandfather, who had a heavy face, and asked curiously, "Aunt, does that paper contain the transaction date and location of the controlled materials they smuggled?"

Mr. Shao nodded, "Well, there's more to it than that. There are also some accounting issues, but they are all related to business dealings with the Japanese."

Speaking of this, Mr. Shao was very glad that there were only transactions between Bai Da and the Japanese here.

If there were interactions with insiders, more people would move out.

By then, the Shao family will not be able to withstand the internal and external investigation, and it may even implicate the son-in-law.

Shao Lanxiang was naturally also keenly aware of the gap here. While she was relieved, she also calculated whether this matter was enough to repay the favor.

Shao Yunshi is not stupid. After hearing what her grandfather said, what else is there for her not to understand?

She secretly praised that her family was really lucky. Otherwise, if Bai Dayou had any dealings with someone inside, would you report it? Or not?
When Shao Lanxiang saw her niece's eyes turn, she relaxed and said with a sigh, "You are such a sly girl."

"Yes, it's good that Mangu is like this. The second girl is so stupid that she put a bomb on herself and didn't even know it." Old Master Shao was very disappointed with her.

"That's right. If the Japanese knew that Bai Da had this plan to change the world, Xiuxue would be in danger." Shao Lanxiang was still a little scared. After all, Shao Xiuxue was still her niece.

Shao Yunshi asked curiously, "Why did Mr. Bai write down all these past events? Is he afraid that he will forget them?"

Shao Lanxiang sneered, "Not only that, he even deliberately put it on Xiuxue, which shows how big his plan is."

Mr. Shao was very experienced and said, "This Bai guy is not doing useless work. He wants to hold the Japanese hostage and spare our Shao family at the same time."

Shao Yunshi frowned when she heard this, "Could it be that my father invested in his business?" Shao Lanxiang sneered, "Your father didn't invest, he took the initiative to give the shares to his sister."

"The one who signed the contract?" Shao Yunshi raised her eyebrows.

Shao Lanxiang nodded, "That's right, otherwise it would be a gift for nothing."

Shao Yunshi was helpless, "The Bai family is definitely blaming the Shao family."

Shao Lanxiang sighed, "Don't worry, he can't rely on us."

"What do you mean?" Shao Yunshi asked anxiously.

Mr. Shao sneered twice, "What's so difficult about this? It's just a matter of making a phone call."

"Ah, Grandpa, have you already notified Peking?" Shao Yunshi was surprised.

"Why, are you afraid that Bai Da or the Japanese will become alert?" Shao Lanxiang asked.

Shao Yunshi nodded.

Old Master Shao waved his hand, "Don't worry, I've given orders to Xiao Zhang and Mother Suo. If things don't go well here, the people over there will have to be kept under guard."

Shao Lanxiang didn't know that her father had called, so she asked, "How are Mom and my brother?"

Maybe this time Mrs. Shao didn't hold us back.

Mr. Shao's tone relaxed a little, "Nothing will happen to your mother. As for your brother, I've asked the people at his school to keep an eye on him."

My father had many close friends in Peking, and the principal of my brother’s school was his best friend.

Shao Lanxiang's eyes flashed, "So, brother doesn't know about Xiuxue yet?"

Mr. Shao probably did something that went smoothly for him, and he happily shared, "Your brother is a fool. He didn't even know Xiuxue came to Shanghai."

At this point, Mr. Shao no longer had any hope for his stupid son.

"Didn't Bai tell him?" Shao Lanxiang opened her mouth.

Mr. Shao shook his head and said, "I asked the principal to arrange a research project for him. Now, he has plunged into the school headfirst."

"So, brother won't be coming home in the short term?" Shao Lanxiang said.

"Well," Mr. Shao glanced at his daughter, "I have asked her to destroy the contract signed between Bai Shi and Mr. Bai. Fortunately, your brother's name is not on it."

Shao Lanxiang frowned, "Does Bai Da still have a share?"

Old Master Shao sighed, "Anyway, your brother's name is not on it. I have already made it known that if Bai Shi doesn't settle this matter this time, she will have to go back to her parents' home."

These words were harsh enough. The old man always kept his word. Bai was a well-behaved girl, so he was not afraid that she would not consider his words.

Shao Lanxiang and Shao Yunshi, aunt and niece, looked at each other.

Shao Yunshi looked at her grandfather again, "How about the secret account?"

Shao Lanxiang's face darkened. "I have destroyed that secret account."

"Ruined?" Shao Yunshi asked hurriedly, "Wouldn't that give Yu Qian and his men something to hold against the Japanese?"

Shao Lanxiang comforted him, "Don't worry. After I translated it, I picked out the useful information and told Yu Qian. It can be regarded as repaying him a favor."

"What did Yu Qian say?" Shao Yunshi asked.

"Of course he thanked us. The information we provided still has some information they don't know about." Shao Lanxiang said proudly.

Shao Yunshi sighed, "Yu Qian didn't mention our second young lady?"

Shao Lanxiang glanced at her and said, "You think your aunt is stupid, how could I say that this matter is related to Xiuxue."
