After the Republic of China

Chapter 987 Unexpected News
The topic was heavy, and the atmosphere in the hall was filled with depression.

The 'crunching, crunching' sound of biting an apple is even more irritating.

Shao Yunshi suppressed her annoyance, glanced at Yan Biao, and asked, "Did someone instigate you?"

Yan Biao stopped biting his apple and nodded, "Yeah, many of my classmates have joined the army."

Shao Yunshi understood, "Some boys from our school also went there."

Shao Yunshi attended a church school, which had strict management and few impulsive and passionate students.

Yan Biao's eyes darkened, "Aunt Man, I'm afraid our Yan family is going to have a 'capable person'."

Huh? What is this? Shao Yunshi was anxious, "Who? Yan Yue?"

Yan Biao sneered and said, "He wants to, but unfortunately he is not qualified."

Since leaving Suzhou, Yan Yue has become a thing of the past.

Moreover, ever since Yan Liping found out that the first wife of the Yan family had instigated Yan Cuiling to do something unreasonable, the fifth wife of the Yan family had become cold towards that side.

In this way, Yan Yue can no longer hinder Yan Biao and Shao Yunshi.

Shao Yunshi didn't care about Yan Yue, the playboy. After thinking for a while, she covered her mouth and said, "Could it be cousin Yan Cong?"

Yan Biao nodded, "It's him. He has already taken office as the warden of Suzhou Prison."

Suzhou Prison holds many progressive people, and of course even more are unidentified underground and party members.

"Isn't Brother Yan Cong in the regular army? Why is he getting involved in this mess?" Shao Yunshi was confused.

In ancient times, those who were in charge of prisons were not high-ranking officials or respectable people.

Yan Biao shook his head. "I asked him, but unfortunately he didn't say anything. He just said this was an opportunity."

Opportunity? Shao Yunshi frowned, "Cousin Yan Cong wants to seize the power of the clan leader?"

The Yan family is very powerful in Suzhou, and Yan Biao, as a member of the Yan family's ancestral branch, knows this.

After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "I'm afraid that's the case. Unfortunately, Brother Cong will never make it so easy."

Shao Yunshi said: "If we stay in Suzhou, we will have a chance. Otherwise, if we stay in the army all year round, I'm afraid that Cousin Yan Cong will never be able to get back his mother's dowry and private house in his lifetime."

Yan Biao had stepped out of that circle in Suzhou and his perspective had changed. He sighed and said, "Cousin Cong probably has the wrong idea. As long as he does well outside, no one will dare to covet the private property of the former aunt."

Shao Yunshi shook her head, "He has a knot in his heart. It's not for his biological mother's private property, but mainly to make some people's plots fail."

Yan Biao thought about it and thought that this was probably the case.

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, we don't need to bother with it." Yan Biao rubbed his face, "As for the furniture arrangement, I happen to have an acquaintance who does this business. Will you go with him later, or what do you say?"

Shao Yunshi shook her head, "I won't go. I'll just ask Butler Xiao Yu to follow me. He knows what to buy."

"Aunt Man, your grandparents' factory has moved to Hong Kong, why are you still settling down in Shanghai?" Yan Biao asked puzzled.

"They originally planned to set up a factory in Shanghai, but unfortunately the cost was too high, so they went to Hong Kong," Shao Yunshi sighed.

Yan Biao understood the capabilities of the Lu family. He thought that it was unrealistic to move such a large factory to Shanghai.

"It's not easy to survive in Hong Kong either." Yan Biao sighed.

"Yes." Shao Yunshi stroked her forehead gently, "We settled down in Shanghai. First, we can't lose the business here. Second, the British are in charge over there. My grandfather and his family are afraid of something unexpected."

If she had not calculated the Lu family's fortune and knew that the Lu family would prosper in Hong Kong, Shao Yunshi would definitely have persuaded them to set up a factory in Shanghai.

Yan Biao didn't know about these, but after hearing what Shao Yunshi said, he sighed, "The country is so weak that anyone can bully it, and the government is still waging wars everywhere. It's really, really..."

Shao Yunshi didn't want him to overreact, so she said quickly: "These things are not our business now. We just need to do our best and survive in this difficult and chaotic world. That's pretty good." "Yes, life in this world is so difficult." Yan Biao was very depressed.

Shao Yunshi didn't want him to lose his vitality, so she encouraged him, "Don't be like this, keep going, and we will definitely see a bright future."

Yan Biao knew that Shao Yunshi was not an ordinary girl. When he heard her say this, he began to feel hopeful.

He rubbed his face and whispered, "Aunt Man, I heard the fighting over there is very intense. It would be great if we could help."

What are you talking about? Shao Yunshi glanced at him and asked, "How can I help? Are you looking at that side?"

As she spoke, she pointed towards the direction of Jiangxi.

Yan Biao can be considered a progressive youth. "Well, the doctrines and ideas there are in line with the expectations of the Chinese people. I hope they can compete with them."

This made Shao Yunshi's heart skip a beat. "You haven't done anything yet, have you?"

Yan Biao was so frightened by Shao Yunshi's words that he even forgot to eat the apple.

Seeing this, Shao Yunshi's face darkened, "Tell me, what have you done?"

After Shao Yunshi noticed it, Yan Biao had come back to his senses and replied honestly: "Don't worry, what can I do? I just said a few more gossips."

"What gossip?" Shao Yunshi was worried, "Tell me the truth, don't try to fool me."

Seeing her stern tone, Yan Biao didn't dare to do so even though he had originally wanted to get away with it.

He glanced outside and whispered, "I went to see Brother Cong once and happened to hear those people discussing what the secretary had said..."

"The Secretary betrayed us?!" Shao Yunshi exclaimed.

Yan Biao was stunned by her behavior, but he didn't take it to heart. He continued, "At that time, I knew it must be something about Jiangxi."

Yan Biao’s words are still fresh in my mind, but he is not a professional after all, and his angle of view on the issue is wrong.

This rebellion has nothing to do with Jiangxi. Shao Yunshi sighed secretly but did not explain.

"A Biao, did you talk about these things as gossip at the literary gathering?" Shao Yunshi asked worriedly.

Yan Biao shook his head, "I'm stupid, of course not."

"Then was it safe when you said that?" Shao Yunshi asked.

Yan Biao nodded. "Safety. I just mentioned it casually. I didn't go into details."

He also felt a little regretful about this.

Shao Yunshi knew him too well. Just by looking at his expression, she knew what he was thinking.

Worried that he would make more mistakes, Shao Yunshi said directly: "A Biao, don't say this outside in the future. After all, the secretary's betrayal is a big deal."

Yan Biao was also a little scared. "Well, I was also shocked when I heard it. How could such a high-ranking official betray so easily?"

"Yes, it seems like it hasn't been long since he was arrested." Shao Yunshi sighed.

Yan Biao's eyes widened at this, "How do you know when he was arrested?"

Shao Yunshi was stunned by the question, and quickly came back to her senses: "Why can't I know? Have you forgotten the abilities of those people in our family?"

That's true. Yan Biao thought about it and said with a stern face, "Aunt Man, Feihong and his friends are very capable, but there are some things they can't get involved in. It's better not to ask about it."

Seeing his seriousness, Shao Yunshi pursed her lips and said, "They know their limits and didn't go out of their way to pry."

Yan Biao glared at her and said, "Just indulge me. I think Xiaodong is the most active."
