Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Ding Li was puzzled and asked, "What's the matter, Brother Fei?"

He had just left for a while when Ye Yunfei's face turned so ugly. What happened?

Ye Yunfei told Ding Li what he had just seen at the train station.

After hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Ding Li was shocked and said, "Someone from Longmen actually collected protection fees at the train station. How is this possible? Doesn't Longmen strictly prohibit disciples from collecting protection fees?"

"We have warned our disciples countless times before that they must not collect protection fees, let alone bully ordinary people. How could they be so bold?"

"Besides, this is in Shanghai, the headquarters of Longmen. There shouldn't be anyone messing around under our noses, right? Brother Fei, is there any misunderstanding?"

Ye Yunfei said: "From what the little girl said just now, this should be true."

"There are indeed Longmen disciples collecting protection fees at the train station. The leader should be someone named Ma Wei."

"Longmen now has hundreds of thousands of disciples. Although we have tried our best to strictly manage them, with so many people, there may be some rats among them."

"Now that we have discovered them, we must get rid of all these rats."

Ding Li nodded and said, "Brother Fei, should we go find this Ma Wei and see what's going on?"

Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said, "Forget it for now. Haven't you already made an appointment with that woman? Take care of your business first."

"As for the train station, we already know the name of the leader. After we finish dealing with your matter, we can go back to Lido to deal with it."

"Anyway, I'm back in Shanghai, so I have plenty of time."

After listening to what Ye Yunfei said, Ding Li nodded and said, "Okay, I'll listen to Brother Fei."

Ye Yunfei said: "Haven't you already made an appointment with that woman? Let's go and meet her."

Ding Li nodded.

Afterwards, the two went to see the woman first.

The place where Ding Li and the woman agreed to meet was Tianxiang Tower.

Tianxianglou is a relatively good restaurant in Shanghai.

Ding Li booked a private room.

When he and Ding Li arrived there, they found two people sitting in the box, a man and a woman.

The woman was very beautiful, about twenty years old, and wearing a cheongsam.

The man was wearing a suit and was about 20 or 30 years old. He looked well-dressed.

"Ali, you're here."

Seeing Ding Li coming in, the beautiful woman in cheongsam stood up and spoke very enthusiastically.

Ding Li said: "Shen Xiang, who is this? Didn't I only make an appointment with you?"

Ding Li looked at the man in the suit, somewhat puzzled.

He clearly only made an appointment with Shen Xiang, but Shen Xiang brought a strange man with her, and no one knew who he was.

Shen Xiang said: "Ali, this is my brother, Shen Cong. He heard that you are back this time, so he must see you, so I brought him here."

"Besides, aren't we going to discuss children and marriage? It would be more convenient if I have a family member here."

Brother?

Ding Li nodded.

At this time, Shen Xiang also saw Ye Yunfei, and he said, "Ali, who is this person behind you?"

Ding Li said: "He is my eldest brother, Ye Yunfei, and he also came with me."

"It's you, big brother. Hello, big brother."

Hearing that he was Ding Li’s elder brother, Shen Xiang immediately shook hands with Ye Yunfei very cordially.

Ye Yunfei simply responded with a gesture.

Then, the four of them sat down.

Shen Xiang looked at Ding Li and said, "Ali, have you thought about it? Didn't you say that you would give me an accurate answer when you return from Peking this time?"

"Do you want to marry me or not? Also, do you want the baby in your belly or not?"

Ding Li looked embarrassed when he heard this, and he turned to look at Ye Yunfei.

Ye Yunfei said: "Miss Shen Xiang, I have a few questions I want to ask you, I wonder if it's okay."

Shen Xiang said: "Of course, just ask."

Ye Yunfei asked: "Where is Miss Shen Xiang from? When did she come to Shanghai?"

Shen Xiang said: "I am from Chang'an, and I just came to Shanghai recently."

A native of Chang'an.

Ye Yunfei frowned slightly and said, "Chang'an is very far away from Shanghai. I don't know why Miss Shen came to Shanghai."

Shen Xiang said: "Shanghai is the most prosperous place in the entire Republic of China. I heard that it is a paradise in everyone's heart with all the lights, wine and women. So, I want to come to Shanghai to have some fun."

"After coming here, I found that Shanghai is just as beautiful as the legend says."

"More importantly, I met Ding Li in Shanghai."

“This trip is even more enjoyable.”

Ye Yunfei said: "I heard that it was Miss Shen who took the initiative to find Ali, right?"

Shen Xiang said: "Yes, it was at a cocktail party. Everyone drank and got to know each other. Isn't it normal? Is there any problem with this?"

Ye Yunfei said: "No problem, I'm just asking casually, does Miss Shen know Ding Li's identity?"

Shen Xiang said: "When I first met him, I didn't know, I just felt that he looked very manly and charming."

"It was only after that night that I found out that his name was Ding Li and he was from Longmen."

"And there seems to be someone with an unusual identity in Longmen."

"But, this is not important to me. I am attracted by his personality, not his identity. It doesn't matter to me whether he is from Longmen or not."

After Shen Xiang finished speaking, she raised her head and looked at Ye Yunfei, saying, "Why, Mr. Ye, you seem to be doubting my purpose of approaching Ali."

Ye Yunfei said: "Yes, I'm telling the truth, I do have some doubts."

"Because now, Ali's identity is extraordinary, and many people approach Ali with various purposes."

"Ali is a man with strong limbs but a simple mind, especially when it comes to women. I am very stupid. I am worried that he will be cheated, so I came here to see you and chat with you."

As soon as Ye Yunfei finished speaking, the man in a suit said, "Mr. Ye, you are going too far. My sister and Ding Li knew each other through normal interactions. She is not a spy or a secret agent. Isn't it inappropriate for Mr. Ye to suspect her so much?"

"My sister is a woman. You are insulting her dignity by saying this."

"Besides, my sister is already pregnant with Ding Li's child. Could this also be fake?"

"I know that you, the Longmen family, are powerful and look down on ordinary people like us, but you can't humiliate my sister like this."

Ye Yunfei glanced at Shen Cong and said, "Mr. Shen misunderstood. I never meant to humiliate your sister. I just want to know the truth..."
