Dreaming back to 1949, the great powers were there to deceive us

4pm on April 19th, Jinyunshan Villa.

Hu Zhenhua feels like he is becoming more and more of a night owl.

He sleeps most of the day and comes out to move around at night.

Jinyunshan Villa, strictly speaking, is a club, but it only receives dignitaries, wealthy people and celebrities!

To fly with the phoenix, one must be a beautiful bird;

If you walk with tigers and wolves, you will definitely be a ferocious beast.

Everyone has his or her own circle, and there are clear barriers between different circles.

Jinyunshan Villa implements a strict membership system and prohibits outsiders from entering.

Hu Zhenhua was able to come because Gu Shun wanted to introduce him to the club.

The villa covers a large area, the main building is six stories high and has hundreds of rooms. It can be called a star-rated hotel. Every member has an independent suite here!

Those with prominent status even own their own detached villas!

Here, no matter what you ask for, as long as you can afford it, there will be someone to satisfy it for you!

Hu Zhenhua followed Gu Shun and came to a small meeting room first. Seven people were sitting inside. They were leaning on the sofa, some were smoking, some were tasting wine, and some were talking in low voices.

This is the heart of the club, with a quiet environment.

Hu Zhenhua's arrival did not arouse any interest at all.

Gu Shun stood obediently on the expensive carpet in the middle of the conference room, with his head lowered and his eyes submissive, like a good child.

Hu Zhenhua knew these seven people. They were members of the executive committee of Jinyunshan Villa and were responsible for operational matters. They had one thing in common: they came from prominent families!

In the past, Kong Lingkan of the Kong family was a member of the Executive Committee!

After more than ten minutes, one of the men spoke up.

"Hu Zhenhua, I know you. You know the rules of joining the club, right?"

There are three rules for joining the sect, and you only need to fulfill one of them.

1. Pay a membership fee of 100 million RMB.

2. Solve a troublesome problem for the club.

3. Have great influence among officials at the vice-minister level and above.

In fact, there is another rule, that is, if all seven members of the executive committee agree unanimously, you can make an exception and join the association!

The other six members looked at Hu Zhenhua curiously, wanting to see what choice he would make. In their opinion, Hu had only the first option!

That means paying money!

Hu Zhenhua laughed. Among these three points, the first one was easy to deal with, which was asking for money.

As for the second one, it probably tests interpersonal relationships and problem-solving skills.

The third condition is what does it mean to "have great influence among officials above the rank of deputy minister", probably only their in-laws and children. This condition requires power!

After a brief thought, Lao Hu said,

"I can solve a problem for the club!"

The seven members suddenly laughed. Their laughter was different. Some were crazy, some were smiling, and some were contemptuous.

One of the men clapped his hands and waited for the waiter to come in. He gave a few instructions, and a moment later, a list was handed to Hu Zhenhua!

Above is the reward issued due to the troubles encountered by the club, or the troubles encountered by the members.

Hu Zhenhua was shocked when he saw the contents on the paper.

The first request: rescue General Du!

This general was captured in the Huaihai Campaign and is now imprisoned in a prisoner-of-war camp.

Hu Zhenhua looked at the second one: A plantation in Nanyang was looted by locals, and a reward is offered for its solution!

The third problem: I need to be introduced to a famous doctor. There is a big boss who has a brain disease and is in great pain!

Hu Zhenhua no longer wanted to talk.

None of these three problems can be solved by him.

"These three are the club's open secrets. If you can solve one of them, you can join the club!"

Hu Zhenhua pondered for a moment and asked,

"So, there are other troubles that are not public?"

"The rest, you will be qualified to know after you join the club!"

As he said this, the middle-aged man glanced at Gu Shun, who was terrified and said quickly,

"Sir, I didn't reveal any information that shouldn't be revealed!"

The middle-aged man nodded.

"I'm sorry you don't dare!"

His gaze shifted to Hu Zhenhua.

"You have another chance to choose!"

This statement cannot be questioned.

Hu Zhenhua laughed. This was the first time he had encountered such a crazy person. Since he dared to come, he must have been prepared.

The defense of Jinyunshan Villa is far inferior to Gu Shun’s lair!

Because there are quite a few people coming here.

When there are more people, there will naturally be more loopholes.

The entire perimeter of Jinyun Villa is equipped with fortresses, assault vehicles, and hundreds of security guards, including many elite soldiers.

But the internal defense is mediocre.

Hu Zhenhua stood there for more than ten minutes, which was already giving face to these seven old men.

He laughed.

"Everyone, the trouble I want to solve for you is not now, but in a few days!"

The seven people laughed and mocked again. One of them was even more exaggerated and sprayed a mouthful of red wine. Fortunately, Lao Hu was far away and was not stained!

One of them laughed,

"Hu Zhenhua, you mean to restart the war, right? Even if the Nationalist army is defeated, we will be the first to evacuate!"

Hu Zhenhua immediately retorted,

"I don't deny you possess immense power, but wars change rapidly, and no one can predict the future! It's always a good idea to leave more options open!"

"We don't need your path!"

Hu Zhenhua was so angry that he laughed. He wanted to leave, but thinking that these people were fat sheep, he endured it instead.

If you want to eat mutton, don’t think it’s smelly!

"Since you seniors are so confident, how about we have a small bet to cheer ourselves up?"

"Are you worthy enough to bet with us?"

Hu Zhenhua looked in the direction of the voice and saw a guy as fat as a ball with a face full of flesh. His appetite alone was estimated to have created more than ten starving people.

"Whether I deserve it or not is not the question for now! But my money is definitely worthy!"

Hu Zhenhua stretched out a finger and said lightly,

"Between midnight and one o'clock on April 4st, the war will definitely begin. If I'm wrong, I'm willing to pay you ten times as much!"

He also wanted to say, "Within three days, the river defense will be lost," but such words were taboo.

clap clap clap!

The fat man suddenly clapped his hands, and the fat on his face kept shaking.

"Well, let's switch, I'll be the banker!"

Hu Zhenhua made a gesture of invitation and asked,

"What are you gambling?"

"Bet you whether you can leave Jinyun Villa today!"

This is not a multiple-choice question, but a life-or-death question!

If Hu Zhenhua chooses to be able to!

For the sake of face, the Executive Committee will definitely not let him go.

If Hu Zhenhua chooses not to!

That means you've given in and become a grandson. From now on, you can only live with your tail between your legs!

Hu Zhenhua was still hesitating about what to do when he suddenly felt two figures approaching from behind. They stood four meters behind Hu Zhenhua with expressionless faces.

The fat man laughed and thought playing with people's hearts was his favorite game!

Hu Zhenhua clenched his fist, then opened it again, took out a dollar and threw it over.

"can!"

The silver dollar fell to the ground in front of the fat man with a crisp sound. Everyone's eyes were suddenly focused on the silver dollar spinning on the ground!

This is not money, this is Hu Zhenhua's contempt for them!

Gu Shun was no longer frightened!

From the moment he sent his family out of Jinling, Gu Shun suddenly felt relieved.

Especially at this moment, Hu Zhenhua's tall and straight figure made him feel at ease.

Gu Shun suddenly became excited and wanted to see how Hu Zhenhua would deal with this group of self-righteous guys!

The silver dollar's kinetic energy was exhausted and it stopped rotating. It lay on the ground like a corpse!

The fat man stared at Hu Zhenhua with a fake smile.

"I like rebellious people. I hope you can be arrogant again in a while!"

Behind Hu Zhenhua, two club bodyguards approached him gloomily, holding batons.

Hu Zhenhua chuckled twice.

"I hope you dare to sit down and talk to me in a while!"

Gu Shun suddenly took a few steps back and said with a smile,

"Mr. Hu, I have nothing to do with this!"

Just as he finished speaking, a crisp sound of footsteps came in. Hearing the sound, Hu Zhenhua smiled. It was the unique melody of military boots with steel plates installed on the bottom. It was the standard equipment of the security team!

Qu Xiaodou is here!

He had sneaked in a long time ago and I don't know where he was hiding!

The fat man was furious and shouted,

"Noisy!"

The footsteps are getting closer and louder!

The two bodyguards turned around and rushed towards the footsteps. After a few muffled groans, the footsteps sounded again.

Hu Zhenhua laughed,

"What do you mean, everyone? Is there something about this villa that you can't control?"

The teasing tone made the seven guys feel a huge crisis. One of them suddenly shouted loudly,

"Come here, there's an assassin!"

The waiter who used to respond to every request was nowhere to be seen.

The footsteps suddenly stopped and were hidden in the darkness more than ten meters away, like a dormant beast that could suddenly attack and hurt people at any time.

The seven people panicked when they saw that their call for help received no response. One of the middle-aged men laughed and said,

"Fatty Wen, I admit defeat. What are you going to give Mr. Hu as compensation?"

Upon hearing this, the fat man quickly said,

"Yes, yes, yes, I'm willing to lose a hundred taels of gold to you, sir!"

Gu Shun was afraid that Hu Zhenhua would leave hidden dangers, so he reminded him quietly,

"Don't make trouble for yourself!"

His voice was very soft, but everyone present heard it!

The middle-aged man shouted,

"Gu Shun, we're just betting, don't fan the flames!"

Hu Zhenhua looked at him with a smile on his face.

"I have my own judgment and don't need anyone to instigate me. I wonder if you could answer a small question for me, sir?"

"Speaking!"

"What did I do wrong to deserve such pressure from you?"

After a brief silence, the middle-aged man said,

"This is Jinyun Villa. We've given you a choice, so just do it. Don't talk too much, and don't try to be smart and play tricks on us!"

This guy is very smart, and he speaks in a condescending tone, saying whatever he is told to do without any nonsense, and he never begs for mercy in a servile manner.

Hu Zhenhua was shocked. He was indeed doing this for the gamble, and these guys could see it at a glance. Could they read minds?

Old Hu turned around and gave Gu Shun a meaningful look. The latter was frightened and quickly lowered his head and

"I did not say anything!"

From the way Old Hu looked at him, he didn't seem to want to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

To be honest, these seven guys are indeed suitable to be knives.

Hu Zhenhua retracted his gaze and said with a smile,

"Everyone, what am I up to? Please tell me clearly."

The middle-aged man sighed and explained helplessly,

"What you call helping us solve our problems is just a disguised way of selling tickets and promoting your airline?"

Hu Zhenhua laughed happily, thinking that he had really overestimated these idiots.

"Gentlemen, once the war breaks out, I won't have any trouble selling my tickets. Why would I even need to advertise? I really want to help you out. If you don't believe me, we can continue our bet!"

The middle-aged man and the others looked at each other and said,

"Are you still betting on the war starting during that time period?"

"That's right!"

Fatty Wen recovered and shouted,

"I'll invest 10,000 yuan!"

Hu Zhenhua wrote a receipt, handed it over respectfully, and said with a smile,

"If you lose, the gambling money can be used to offset your airfare. Let me make it clear: future airline tickets will cost five large yellow croakers each. Don't think I'm blackmailing you then! Of course, you can also recommend guests to me. I don't care how much you charge, just give me five large yellow croakers!"

Everyone laughed.

No one else can attract customers to Jinyun Villa!

Fatty Wen took the receipt, took a look at it, and said expressionlessly,

"One hundred taels of gold will be presented to you later!"

Hu Zhenhua waved his hand.

"Mr. Wen, you're too polite. We were just joking just now. It doesn't count!"

Fatty Wen was unmoved and shouted,

"Master Wen is a spitting hole, I am willing to accept the loss of the bet!"

Hu Zhenhua grinned, signed another bet and handed it over.

"In that case, these one hundred taels of gold will be considered as gambling money. If Hu loses, I will return it tenfold!"

Fatty Wen suddenly smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits.

"Since Mr. Hu is so sincere, I would be disrespectful to refuse him!"

In his opinion, Hu Zhenhua was giving money in this way in order to ease the relationship with Jinyun Villa.

"I'll also bet a hundred taels of gold and ten thousand dollars!"

"Me too!"

"Me too"

……

After the other six people expressed their opinions one after another, Hu Zhenhua respectfully issued the certificate.

"Seniors, let Gu Shun handle this matter. He can be a guarantor! I hope you won't make things difficult for him!"

"will not!"

Compared to Hu Zhenhua, everyone present hated Gu Shun more.

The middle-aged man looked at Lao Gu with a smile, and he was very happy.

"We have been friends with Mr. Gu for many years!"

Gu Shun slowly straightened his back, standing very straight. Since he couldn't avoid it, he would just face it head-on. My Qing Gang is not a pushover!

"Everyone, I, Gu, have been entrusted with this task, and I must be loyal to the person who entrusted me with it. I hope you will not embarrass me. Later, please give your gambling money to me for safekeeping!"

The middle-aged man half leaned on the sofa, lit a cigarette, and said half-jokingly,

"Mr. Hu, you're not going to run away with the gambling money, are you?"

Hu Zhenhua still had the same expression, flattering!

"The monk may escape, but the temple cannot. On the government's territory, who would dare to make fun of you unless they are forced into a corner?"

"Transparent!"

Fatty Wen regained his composure and shouted towards the shadows,

"Brother, come out, I love making friends with heroes!"

Hu Zhenhua pretended to show a puzzled expression,

"Mr. Wen, where is the person?"

There was no response from the shadows for a long time. Fatty Wen jumped up and ran towards the shadows.

Hu Zhenhua looked at the bounced sofa and said with emotion: The quality is really good!

He looked at Fatty Wen's back again and continued to sigh: What a flexible fat man!

The fat man searched for a long time but there was no sign of anyone.

Everyone looked at Hu Zhenhua with meaningful eyes.

The unknown is what is scary!

"Mr. Hu's men are truly full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"

"I'm just a nobody, not worth mentioning. I'm sorry to have made you all laugh!"
