At six o'clock in the evening, Jiang Shiyuan got off work from Sacred Heart Hospital on time.

The golden afterglow of the setting sun fell on her body, dispelling her fatigue from a busy day.

Jiang Shiyuan hailed a rickshaw and headed straight to Changle Apartment in the French Concession.

At around seven o'clock, she arrived outside the Shikumen door of the apartment, and the thrilling scene of her and Lao Huang rescuing Fang Lansheng emerged in her mind.

The bullet removal surgery that night, the wontons that night, the snoring and the moonlight that night, all seem as clear as yesterday.

Jiang Shiyuan withdrew his thoughts, walked into the apartment building, and gently pressed the doorbell.

Old Huang and Fang Lansheng, who were in the house, both looked happy when they heard the crisp doorbell.

Old Huang quickly leaned over the peephole to observe, and when he saw the familiar figure of Jiang Shiyuan, he opened the door with joy.

"Miss Jiang, you are finally back!"

"We all miss you so much!"

Old Huang and Fang Lansheng said in unison, and then invited Jiang Shiyuan in together and made her a cup of jasmine tea.

"Hey, stop busying yourself, this isn't my first time here!"

Jiang Shiyuan said this, but still picked up the white porcelain teacup and took a sip, her beautiful eyes lit up, "Old Huang, this is good tea!"

Old Huang nudged Fang Lansheng's shoulders and rubbed his hands, saying, "Hey, this is the finest jasmine tea that Boss Fang bought from Tianxiang Tea House, specially brought to you!"

Jiang Shiyuan's ears moved, and he instantly caught the words "Tianxiang Teahouse", thinking: "Maybe when the time comes, I can ask Fang Lansheng to investigate the case of the Imperial Seal together."

"Hehe, after all, he has the male protagonist's halo to protect him, maybe I can also get some of his good luck!"

Jiang Shiyuan thought about this, raised his glass to Fang Lansheng, and smiled, "Boss Fang is so generous, I'm sorry to have you spend money again!"

Fang Lansheng lifted the hem of his gown, sat down next to her, and immediately waved his hand.

"Miss Jiang, what are you talking about? You saved my life. These are not worth mentioning."

"By the way, Miss Jiang, did your business trip go smoothly?"

"Well, everything went well. Thank you for your concern..."

Old Huang added some water to Jiang Shiyuan's teacup, then scratched his head, looking puzzled.

"Why are you two always so polite and reserved when talking to each other?"

Jiang Shiyuan hid his lips and smiled secretly, "When drama fans see the famous actors they admire, of course they will be polite and dare not act rashly!"

Fang Lansheng was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but complain in his heart: "When you pointed a gun at my head and forced me to marry you, you were quite bold..."

He waved his hands again and again, "Please don't...Miss Jiang, embarrass me!"

Jiang Shiyuan no longer joked with Fang Lansheng at this moment, but asked him seriously about the recovery of his right arm wound.

"Miss Jiang, after you left, I took the small medicine box you left for me and came to stay at Old Huang's place temporarily."

"These past few days, I've been bothering Old Huang to change the medicine for me on time."

"Yes, I see that Boss Fang's wound has healed well, and there has been no inflammation or anything."

Jiang Shiyuan nodded and helped Fang Lansheng carefully check the wound on his right arm.

Finding that it had healed well, she used the tools in the first aid kit to remove the stitches.

There was only a small scar left on Fang Lansheng's right arm, and it was impossible to tell that he had been shot.

"Boss Fang, you can now move your shoulders widely and feel it..."

Jiang Shiyuan suggested as he packed up his first aid box.

Fang Lansheng tried to move his shoulder. "Hey, it doesn't hurt at all. Miss Jiang's medical skills are amazing!"

Jiang Shiyuan raised his chin proudly, "Yeah, it's nothing!"

At this time, Old Huang suddenly took advantage of the opportunity to say, "Miss Jiang, you don't know that during the few days you were away, Boss Fang and I were very worried about you. We were afraid that it would be unsafe for a girl like you to go out!"

Fang Lansheng nodded in agreement, "Yes, the world outside is in chaos right now, but Shanghai is still relatively better..."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shiyuan immediately shook the small Browning in her pearl handbag.

"Don't worry, I have the pistol my brother gave me to protect me. Anyone who dares to bully me will be in big trouble!"

Jiang Shiyuan comforted them with a smile, but a warm feeling surged in his heart.

It’s such a good feeling to be cared for by others all the time when you are away from home!

At this time, Fang Lansheng asked with interest: "By the way, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"I promised you before that when I recovered from my injury, I would treat my two lifesavers to a feast!"

"How about we go have some Western food?" Old Huang suddenly suggested.

"Western food?" Jiang Shiyuan and Fang Lansheng asked in unison.

Old Huang was very excited. "Yes, I heard that a new Lowe restaurant opened on Xiafei Road. The French food there is really authentic. Many foreigners are lining up to eat there!"

"Lowell Hotel? The Jiang Mansion has a private room there. I remember the price there is not low!"

"It's okay, Miss Jiang, don't worry about the price. I can still afford it..."

"I don't feel comfortable with this..." Jiang Shiyuan hesitated. She didn't want Fang Lansheng to spend so much money.

Although he earned a lot of money from his performances, most of it was handed over to the organization, so he definitely didn't have that much money on hand.

Old Huang knew that Jiang Shiyuan had some concerns, and he often secretly used the salary he earned from the Military Control Commission to subsidize Fang Lansheng and the organization.

"Oh, Miss Jiang, just agree to it. I, Old Huang, have lived for more than 40 years and have never been to such a high-end place to eat!"

Jiang Shiyuan looked at their expectant eyes and finally nodded, "Okay, then let's go to Lowe Hotel!"

Lao Huang said that he must change into a more neat outfit before going out, which can be regarded as a disguise to avoid suspicion.

So Jiang Shiyuan and Fang Lansheng went to wait for him outside the apartment, chatting and laughing.

A quarter of an hour later, Lao Huang had changed into a neat black suit, his hair was combed shiny, and he looked energetic.

"Wow, Lao Huang, you are so fashionable!"

"Yes, it is true that clothes make the man and saddles make the horse!"

Jiang Shiyuan and Fang Lansheng were both amazed by his appearance and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

Old Huang touched his chin proudly and said with a smile: "Of course, when I was young, I was also a handsome and heroic man!"

The three of them walked out of the apartment together, hailed three rickshaws, and headed straight for Xiafei Road.

Lowe Hotel is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Xiafei Road. It is a three-story European-style building.

All kinds of luxury cars were parked in front of the hotel, and well-dressed guests were coming in and out, creating a scene of decadence and extravagance.

As soon as Jiang Shiyuan and his companions got out of the car, a uniformed doorman came up to greet them attentively, "Dear guests, please come in!"

When you walk into the Lowe Hotel, you will see the magnificent lobby, with crystal chandeliers shining brightly and melodious piano music flowing slowly.

The elegant clothes and the clinking of glasses show luxury and elegance everywhere.

"Miss Jiang, you're here!" A waiter in a tuxedo walked quickly to Jiang Shiyuan and bowed respectfully.

"Yes." Jiang Shiyuan nodded slightly, "Is the private room of the Jiang Mansion ready?"

"I'm ready, please follow me!"

The waiter led them through the hall to a private room on the second floor called "Violet".

The room is elegantly and comfortably decorated, and the floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the beautiful night view of Xiafei Road.

The waiter handed the menu to Jiang Shiyuan, who then handed it to Fang Lansheng and Lao Huang, "Take a look, what do you want to eat?"

"No need, just order, we'll listen to you!"

Fang Lansheng and Lao Huang said in unison, like two well-behaved children waiting to be fed.

Jiang Shiyuan did not refuse and ordered several of the local specialties: braised oxtail, baked clams, baked salmon with cheese, veal with cheese, etc.

Soon, exquisite French dishes were served on the table.

Each dish is carefully prepared, beautifully presented and very romantic.

"Wow, this oxtail is so soft and tasty!" Old Huang couldn't help but exclaim after tasting the braised oxtail.

"Well, there's also this cheese-baked salmon, which has a rich milky flavor and tastes good too!" Fang Lansheng also nodded in praise.

Jiang Shiyuan looked at them eating with gusto and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.

Outside the window, the night deepens and neon lights flicker.

The nightlife in Shanghai seems to have just begun...
