A film series in the Republic of China: The legendary Taoist priest in Shanghai

"Yiping, why are you here?"

At the door of a dim sum shop called Tiansisi opposite the Sihai Casino, Yiping and Fang Yu stood there looking around.

"Yiping, didn't you say your boyfriend works at 405 Si Tiao Road? How come it's a casino? Your boyfriend doesn't work in a casino. There are no good people in casinos."

"No, Wencai is a good man. Although he looks ordinary, he has a kind heart. He can compose music and is also a doctor. He cured Sister Yun's madness. How could he open a casino? Maybe I heard it wrong. It should be 406 or 407 next door!"

Fortunately, the two did not go to 406 and 407, Wencai had already driven over.

406 is a secret brothel filled with hot girls.

407 is a loan shark company disguised as a financial company.

Birds of a feather flock together. There’s no way a school art center would be next to a casino.

When gamblers win money, they go to the left to have fun with Sister Jiao.

If you lose, go to the right and find a financial company to borrow high-interest loans to make up for your losses.

It was an industry chain that provided one-stop services. Unfortunately, medical care in the Republic of China was not developed enough, otherwise there would definitely be black clinics selling kidneys nearby.

Today Fang Yu came to see Yiping, and Yiping couldn't help but tell Fang Yu that she had a boyfriend.

Fang Yu was very surprised and encouraged Yiping, insisting that Yiping take her to see the boyfriend who was a miracle doctor who could write songs and lyrics and cure diseases.

Yiping couldn't bear Fang Yu's pleading and took her to No. 405 Si Tiao Road.

This address was obtained by Yiping when she asked Wencai what he was doing now and where he worked.

The two girls took the tram to Si Tiao Road according to the address and saw that the address Wencai gave was actually a luxurious casino that was not as disgusting as the Grand Shanghai Ballroom.

The two women probed around, wanting to go in but not daring to, wanting to ask but not daring to, which made Xu Bada alert.

After some questioning, Yiping asked if she was here to see her boyfriend Xu Wencai.

"It turns out that it's the boss's wife's woman who came to cause trouble. Is she hiding something?"

Xu Bada didn't dare to delay, so he invited the two women into the casino and then called Wencai.

The two women didn't dare to enter the casino and fled in a hurry to the snack shop opposite. Then Wencai drove over.

"Hey, two beauties, look at the casino, do you want to go in and gamble?"

A black Ford sedan stopped in front of Yiping Fangyu, the window rolled down, and a man wearing sunglasses spoke in a joking tone.

Fang Yu looked at the car and wondered if it was the car she had encountered at Yiping's house that morning and splashed her with mud. How did she encounter it again?

"Wencai, where do you work?"

Yiping asked.

Wencai stopped the car, got out, pointed at the Sihai Casino and said, "405, I didn't lie to you."

When Yiping heard this, her face darkened.

"How can you work in a casino? Stop it right away. The money I earn a month is enough for us to spend."

After the singing incident, Uncle Qin Wu actually gave Yiping a monthly salary of 500 yuan for the first time.

This amount of money is enough to support not only a talented writer, but also a dozen gigolos.

Wencai felt touched when he heard Yiping say this.

With his looks, and the fact that there are women throwing themselves at him, that must be true love.

"I don't work in the casino. This casino is mine. It's inconvenient to talk outside. Come on, go in first and I'll explain to you."

Wencai said he wanted to pull Yiping.

When Fang Yu heard Wencai wanted Yiping to go in and talk, she was terrified: "Yiping, don't go in. You might get sold."

It is not uncommon for casinos to also engage in the human flesh business. Many industries are now crossing borders.

Open a casino, sell some opium and get some wine. People like Feng Jingyao who likes to diversify and integrate industries when doing business.

When Yiping heard Fang Yu say that Wencai was harming her, she became unhappy.

She believed in Wencai's character and trusted him as much as she trusted her mother Fu Wenpei.

What's more, if Wen Cai is someone who can scare Black Panther and Qin Wuye, does he have to sell out his girlfriend if he wants money?

"Okay, let's go in and talk. Fang Yu, you should go back first. It's not good to go into a casino."

"No, I'll go too."

How could Fang Yu bear to see her best friend fall into the fire and be doomed?

She knew that Yiping went to Shanghai to be a singer because of money.

Now Yiping has an old, ugly boyfriend who runs a casino.

Fang Yu subjectively believes that Yiping has fallen.

She worked as a singer in a dance hall, was tempted by money, met a casino owner, and was eventually kept as his mistress.

This morning she went to see Yiping, and the fact that she met Wencai driving in front of Yiping's house was evidence.

It must be that the big boss went to Yiping's house to spend the night, had an indulging night and then drove home.

For a moment, Fang Yu looked at Yiping with tears in her eyes and felt extremely heartbroken.

Yiping is both beautiful and talented in music. If she had dropped out of school because of money, she should have been admitted to the Shanghai Art School like her and become an artist and singer admired by everyone. Instead of being kept by an ugly, old man who owns a casino, as she is now.

"Fang Yu, why are you crying? Okay, I'm not stopping you from going. Come on, I'll go in later."

Yiping never imagined that in an instant Fang Yu had already thought of her as a fallen socialite who was being kept by someone else.

You can’t blame Fang Yu for thinking the worst.

If Yiping wasn't a deeply affectionate character in the plot, she would have been protected by Shuhuan and Qin Wuye for no apparent reason.

In Shanghai, a beautiful singer like her would be taken out on the first day of work, and after working for a month, she would have lain in the arms of countless big bosses.

The heroines in romance dramas are always lucky, but reality is always cruel.

"Boss Xu, ladies, this is a small token of my appreciation. Please try my cooking."

While the three were talking, the owner of the pastry shop came out with two large boxes of pastries and tried to stuff them into Yiping and Fang Yu's hands.

It turned out that the two beauties had been standing in the dim sum shop for a long time without buying anything, so the dim sum shop owner noticed them.

Beautiful women are always the center of attention wherever they go, let alone two of them.

After a while, Mr. Xu, the boss of the famous Sihai Casino on the nearby street, drove up and spoke to the two beauties in a friendly manner.

The boss immediately panicked and picked out a few of the most expensive and what he thought were the best dim sum to send over.

When Fang Yu saw the dim sum shop owner bending over and offering dim sum, she became even more frightened.

"Yiping is finished now. The one who supports her is a big boss of the underworld. Even the small bosses nearby succumb to his tyranny."

Living in Shanghai, even children know that Shanghai people are timid and should not mess with gangster bosses.

Not only would it be bad enough that you yourself would end up drowning in the Huangpu River, but it might also implicate your entire family.

How could she know that ever since Wencai subdued Captain Zhao, won the Shadowless Hand, and intimidated Jin Yaju, the leader of the four streets of the Green Gang, both the white and black gangs regarded the street of Sihai Casino as Sihai's territory.

You don’t have to pay the legal taxes of the white world, nor do you have to pay the safety money of the black world. Doing business is simply profitable.

For a time, housing prices and rents near the Sihai Casino doubled in price.

All businesses in the vicinity, big or small, treat Wencai as a living Bodhisattva.

No, it's better than Bodhisattva. Whether Bodhisattva will bless you or not is still a matter of debate. Doing business on this street is really a huge favor to Boss Xu.

So, when the dim sum shop owner saw Boss Xu's friend standing in front of his dim sum shop for so long.

Are you still a human being if you don’t come out to say hello?

As soon as the dim sum shop owner delivered the things, the owner of the soda shop next door couldn't sit still anymore.

He quickly took out three bottles of soda, and the fruit seller next to him also came out carrying a fruit basket.

When Fang Yu saw so many deliberate vendors and bosses pouring out of the street, all wanting to give away things, she became even more frightened.

"This is how bad, vicious and evil they are. They have forced the people doing business nearby into this state."

"Let's go, or the whole street will be delivering things soon."

Wencai took the two large bags of dim sum given by the dim sum shop owner and secretly stuffed two dollars into the owner's pocket.

He then took three bottles of soda and secretly gave a dollar to the soda shop owner.

He led the two women quickly into the casino.
