1928: The Rise of Giants

Chapter 206 You all follow me!

There were nearly 20 people crammed into the small bungalow. Most of them were wearing old-style military uniforms, but epaulettes, badges, unit numbers and other items had been removed. The military uniforms were also in tatters and could barely cover their bodies.

These people sit or stand, their faces are as black as dirt, but their eyes are very determined, completely different from the kind of street gangsters or gangsters.

A group of well-trained soldiers from the Second Army of Shandong Province!

"Heng San'er, why did you bring two outsiders with you? Such attire..." A tall man with an arm missing frowned, and before he started to speak, he was suppressed by another person.

"M-Miss?!" The man who spoke was short and thin, squatting on the ground to warm himself by the fire. As soon as he saw Shi Jianqiao, his tone suddenly rose several degrees.

The group of soldiers were stunned. Heng San also looked at Shi Jianqiao suddenly, his eyes flickering. After a long time, he asked: "Really, the eldest lady?"

Shi Congbin used to train in the army and often lived in the barracks like them and rarely went home. However, the young Shi Jianqiao had no one to look after him and was always causing trouble and no one could control him.

Shi Congbin had no choice but to take her to the military camp and wait until she went to a girls' school before letting her go.

But those were memories from his childhood, and Shi Jianqiao didn't remember them clearly.

Many of these soldiers were the backbone of the Second Army of Lu Province. Many of them had seen Shi Jianqiao when she was young, but they had never seen her as she was already tall and graceful.

The little man called out this way, and they were uncertain, waiting for a reply.

"I'm Shi Gulan." Shi Jianqiao looked up at them.

Her original name was Shi Gulan. Later, in order to avoid Sun Chuanfang's pursuit, she changed her name to Shi Jianqiao, which was taken from the poem "Looking up at the bright moon, drawing a sword to ask the blue sky".

"Second Young Master, what's going on?" Heng San immediately looked at Ye Luo.

Ye Luo then told everything about how Shi Jianqiao came to Shanghai with Shi Zhongcheng and Shi Jinggong, and then settled in his place as a bodyguard.

Many people know these things, and you can find out if you ask around. It's just that these people are hiding in XZ and don't dare to go to the concessions and other prosperous areas, so they never know about it.

Hengsan also told his brothers what happened at the train station.

Everyone was filled with emotion. They never expected to see the former commander's missing only daughter here in their lifetime. They always thought that Shi Jianqiao was killed by Sun Chuanfang like Shi Congbin.

"We have been displaced all these years, but we have never forgotten Commander Shi's blood feud. Unfortunately, Sun Chuanfang is now Zhang Hanqing's staff and lives deep in the Tianjin Marshal's Mansion. No one dares to go there to seek revenge." Hengsan sighed.

"What you call revenge is that you disguise yourself as a killer, work for the tigers, and help those rogue tycoons to make money? Haha." Shi Jianqiao was quite disappointed with these soldiers.

After learning Heng San's true identity in the car, she felt unworthy of her father.

The soldiers he brought out with one hand turned into bandits in the end.

"Miss! We have no choice but to do it. In this world, there is no way for people to survive! Look at Hengsan, there are dozens of people in his family, old and young, all relying on him to support him alone, but the Beiyang government just said a conscription and he left. Last year When he returned to his hometown, he found that dozens of people in his family had been slaughtered by bandits! Only one daughter was left, and two of her legs were broken!"

"This is the former deputy battalion commander of the [-]th Battalion of the [-]rd Regiment. He broke his arm for Commander Shi. After the army was disbanded, disabled people like him were not even hired to recruit workers at the dock. His wife and children disliked him and took the money overnight. Run away."

"That's enough!" Hengsan interrupted the brothers and said sadly, "The eldest lady is right, no matter how much you have, it's just an excuse. If I hadn't met the second young master today, maybe many more innocent lives would have been lost in my hands. "

In order to escape at the train station, he shot and killed several innocent people. Over the years, there was a lot of blood on his hands.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into a deadlock again.

"Everyone, do you have any plans for the future?" Ye Luo suddenly said.

Everyone present knew the name of his second young master.

Ye's Charitable Foundation has invested heavily in disaster relief in the north and has really helped many poor people. It is also the only convoy that dares to move freely in the capital of Shandong Province under Japanese occupation.

It can be said that that unintentional insertion has become one of Ye Luo's biggest talismans now. "What else can we plan? Let's take it one step at a time. If I offend Feng Jingyao this time, I guess I won't be able to stay in Shanghai anymore." The one-armed man sighed.

"Brothers, it's too late if you don't leave. Cao Fan, you can drive, so send the brothers who have people at home first. We stay here with the second young master and the eldest lady. With them here, the patrol room and Songhu Police Department will not Do whatever you dare." Heng San took out the crumpled check and was about to hand it to the short man.

"I was kidnapped by you. I'm afraid all the entrances and exits in Shanghai have been tightly blocked now. My car is very conspicuous and you can't get out." Ye Luo glanced at them and said calmly, "Even if you are lucky enough to escape from Shanghai, There are dragnets waiting for you in Tan, Jiacheng, Suzhou City, Hangzhou, and even the Central Plains and the north. Do you really think Feng Jingyao will let you go?"

"The worst that can happen is that the fish will die and the net will break!" Someone said in a low voice, "We have one life, and so does Feng Jingyao. Who is afraid of whom?"

"Stupid!" Ye Luo glanced at the military man who spoke, "Feng Jingyao is a Chinese tycoon in the French Concession. He has more than a dozen bodyguards around him all the year round. He is also a Chinese director of the French Concession's public board, and he is a hot favorite in the eyes of foreigners. , in exchange for your life, can you come to him?"

The military man who was yelled at by Ye Luo lowered his head silently.

"Second Young Master, is there any good idea?" Hengsan also felt very confused. First, he chose the wrong target for kidnapping, and then his escape plan was ruined by a young man. He had no choice but to shoot, attracting a large number of police officers and detectives. Later, he thought It was easy for Ye Luo to escape after being tied up, but he didn't expect the trouble to be even greater.

"If you still have some conscience and sincerely want to help my father avenge, then abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side as soon as possible. With the protection of the second young master, you will be fine in Shanghai." Shi Jianqiao has been following Ye Luo for so long, but he doesn't know what's in his heart Thoughts.

Although she disliked these former subordinates who turned into bandits, she still stood from Ye Luo's perspective and gave him advice.

Unconsciously, this man's importance in her heart became higher and higher.

"I told you at the train station before that I can protect you and your family." Ye Luo raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "Not to mention Feng Jingyao, even the Public Affairs Bureau, the Ministry of Industry Bureau, and the Consul General personally came forward. I can also find ways to prevaricate. past."

"Of course, if you don't believe me, a group of people can follow me first, and the remaining group of people will continue to wait and see. If I break my promise, the remaining people will follow me." Ye Luo glanced at them and added.

"I believe in you and the eldest lady." Hengsan replied without thinking, "But if you want me to sacrifice my life, my daughter who is hiding in Jiacheng must be brought to me safe and sound."

As soon as Heng Sanyi expressed his stance, people nodded in agreement one after another.

Their trust in Ye Luo was not high, but there was Shi Jianqiao present, who was Shi Congbin's only daughter.

Shi Congbin was like a reborn parent to them. Without this patriotic general, they would have either become cannon fodder in other troops and died on the battlefield, or they would have been trapped in various places without food or water, and their wives and children were scattered.

These people's requirements are also very consistent. They just hope to stabilize. It would be better if the remaining family members can be brought to Shanghai.

This is not difficult for Ye Luo.

Among this group of people, only Hengsan showed his face, so he needed to hide his identity temporarily.

As the war approaches and the business grows, a single Ye's security company is completely insufficient. The purpose of absorbing the Jingwu Sports Association is to expand this protective force and protect his industrial business in the future, even for To contribute to the major wars that followed.

Among the people he absorbed, what Ye Luo wanted most were soldiers with combat experience.

At this time, the principal was still frantically promoting the disarmament policy, and soon a large number of soldiers became homeless and returned to their fields. Ye Luo had ample funds and could hire excellent soldiers.

This is of great significance to the soldiers and their families, the country, and society, and with Song Ziwen here, Ye Luo will not be punished for it as long as he does not go too far.

"In this case, you first follow me to the industrial park I set up in the suburbs. After registering all your personal information, I will immediately arrange for someone to bring your family here. As for the follow-up, I will send someone to contact you again."

Ye Luo made a quick decision and said to them,

"By the way, Heng San, and you, my name is Cao Fan, right? You two follow me."

Cao Fan is the short man. He seems to be able to drive, which just makes up for Ye Luo's lack of a driver.

If Shi Jianqiao is the driver, he will not be able to protect himself at the critical moment.
