Huizi was originally secretly looking at Shen Xilin and the conch in Shen Xilin's hand. Now when she saw Boyi taking the conch back, her eyes suddenly curved into crescents.

The strange thing is that after being scared by Shigekawa Hidekazu, Huizi was no longer afraid of Prince Boyi. She even gave him a cute smile, then stretched out her little hand and took the conch from Prince Boyi.

When Prince Boyi saw Huizi smiling at him, he was delighted. He tilted his head to look at Shigekawa Hidekazu who was sitting on the ground, and felt a little grateful to this poor guy.

At this moment, Huizi was seen pulling the red rope of the conch and reaching towards Shen Xilin again, mumbling something.

Now, even Zhou Zhengqing felt strange. Did Huizi like Shen Xilin so much? Why did she keep handing him the conch shells?

But this time Shen Xilin didn't dare to move, he really didn't dare to move!

Although Zhou Zhengqing said just now that Huizi liked him and seemed to have forgiven his rudeness just now, the Japanese were very moody, so he had better be careful. So even though Huizi kept babbling at him, he just lowered his head, shrank his waist, and stood there.

Zhou Zhengqing frowned when he saw this, raised his hand and beckoned to Shen Xilin: "Come here."

"Ah?" Shen Xilin pointed at himself in surprise.

"Come here!" Zhou Zhengqing said again.

After making sure that it was him he was being called, Shen Xilin slowly moved closer to Zhou Zhengqing.

Huizi was even happier when she saw Shen Xilin coming. She stretched out her little hand, grabbed the red rope and swung it back and forth, as if she wanted Shen Xilin to catch it.

Seeing this, Shen Xilin looked at Zhou Zhengqing with an inquiring look. After Zhou Zhengqing nodded, he carefully stepped forward, showed Huizi a silly smile, and reached out to take the conch in Huizi's hand.

But the next moment, Huizi's smile suddenly disappeared.

She stared at Shen Xilin's smiling face with wide eyes, then wrinkled her nose, quickly withdrew her hand, twisted her little body, and lay back in Zhou Zhengqing's arms. The little hand holding the red rope of the conch was hidden between her and Zhou Zhengqing, but her big eyes still stared at Shen Xilin from time to time.

Shen Xilin's expression froze, and he slowly retracted his outstretched hand.

Zhou Zhengqing was also puzzled. He didn’t understand what was wrong with Huizi. Could it be that she just wanted to tease Shen Xilin? But Huizi was only a little over one year old. How could she tease others?

At this time, Lingzi suddenly stepped forward and whispered in Zhou Zhengqing's ear: "Master, when Xu Ziping died, the man next to him had a similar figure and face shape to this person now. Maybe Huizi recognized the wrong person."

Duan Dashan! ?

Zhou Zhengqing's heart moved, and he looked up and looked at Shen Xilin carefully. With Lingzi's reminder, Zhou Zhengqing really found that Shen Xilin was somewhat similar to Duan Dashan.

But Zhou Zhengqing didn't think Huizi would recognize the wrong person. Children are very sensitive, and Xu Ziping and Duan Dashan had not been dead for long. Although more than half a month had passed, if Huizi really recognized the wrong person, she would probably cry and ask for a hug.

Judging from Huizi's expression just now, she just wanted to play with Shen Xilin and had no intention of being hugged by Shen Xilin. She should not have mistaken Shen Xilin for Duan Dashan.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhengqing suddenly looked at Shen Xilin and said, "Shen Sang, do you know someone named Duan Dashan?"

"Duan Dashan? I haven't heard of him and don't know him. General, are you looking for someone? I have some connections in Tianjin and can help you find him." Shen Xilin maintained a respectful attitude and shook his head.

"Oh, no need. I just asked because I saw that you look a bit similar to that guy named Duan Dashan." Zhou Zhengqing said with a smile.

Then he said to Horiei Gancheng: "If it's convenient, Your Excellency the Consul General, please sit down and rest for a while. I just want to ask you about the situation in the Japanese Concession in Tianjin." After that, he looked at Shigekawa Hidekazu on the ground and said coldly: "Hurry up and get up. You are embarrassing yourself. Do you still look like an imperial soldier?"

Upon hearing this, Shigekawa Hidekazu rolled to his feet and quickly moved to the side, fearing that he would block the way of Zhou Zhengqing and others.

"Takasaki-kun, you guys take a rest here first. My cousin and I are going to play first. Remember, you are not allowed to dance with girls!" Jingren stepped forward and patted Zhou Zhengqing on the shoulder. Then he came in front of Huizi, pinched Huizi's nose and said, "Huizi, you must hold on to your brother tightly. If you let your brother go to find a beautiful lady, he will not want Huizi anymore!"

"Asshole, don't touch my sister! If you want to play, go now!" Zhou Zhengqing slapped Jingren's hand away and scolded with a smile.

"Hey, let's go!" Jingren said, and pulled Prince Boyi towards the dance floor.

Zhou Zhengqing smiled and shook his head, then said to Shen Xilin: "Since my sister likes to play with you, sit down together."

"Oh... OK. OK, General, please." Shen Xilin bowed respectfully and invited Zhou Zhengqing to take a seat, and then bowed to Jue Nei Gancheng: "Your Excellency the Consul General, please too."

"Hey, Master Yingqi invited you to sit down, so you should sit down too." Jue Nei Gancheng looked Shen Xilin up and down and said with a smile, then followed Zhou Zhengqing to the sofa.

A few people didn't notice that Zhou Zhengqing, who was walking towards the sofa, had his smile faded.

When Shen Xilin answered his question just now, he was too decisive. He didn't even think about it for a moment. It was a bit abnormal! Could he really have some relationship with Duan Dashan?

But one is in Tianjin and the other is in Harbin, which are a bit far away!

Well, there are some similarities! Duan Dashan is a member of the Anti-Japanese United Army, and Shen Xilin is also a member of the underground party in the plot! I just don’t know if Shen Xilin is still out of touch with the organization like in the plot.

Next, Zhou Zhengqing asked Jue Nei Gancheng about the various situations in the Japanese Concession, and occasionally asked Shen Xilin a few questions, which made Shigekawa Hidekazu, who was standing aside, look at Shen Xilin with a very complicated look.

On the one hand, he resented Shen Xilin for making him look bad in front of Zhou Zhengqing, but on the other hand, seeing that Zhou Zhengqing treated Shen Xilin well, he hoped that Shen Xilin could take the opportunity to establish a relationship with Zhou Zhengqing. In this way, Maochuan Mansion would have someone who could talk to Zhou Zhengqing.

Maochuan Xiuhe's idea is also what Zhou Zhengqing hopes to see. Because of Huizi, Shen Xilin is already in crisis. If he does not express his opinion, Shen Xilin will definitely be punished or even dealt with by Maochuan Xiuhe when he returns.

Now, he would talk to Shen Xilin from time to time, which was enough to prevent Maochuan Hidekazu from doing anything to Shen Xilin. Maybe it would even help Shen Xilin's status in Maoye Mansion to be further improved.

After chatting for a while, two more people came over.

"Master Yingzaki, can we sit down?" Ishihara Kanji said to Zhou Zhengqing with a smile, holding a wine glass in her hand.

"Of course. Why don't you go out and play instead of sitting here?" Zhou Zhengqing raised his hand and pointed to other empty seats, asking with a smile.

"Oh! We are all old, and after chatting with a few people we know for a while, we have nothing to do." Ishihara Kanji said as he found a seat to sit down and casually placed the wine glass on the coffee table.
