Bai Yunfei said: "A man is innocent and possesses a treasure. Someone has set his sights on the fat meat on my hand and wants to replace my position in Tianjin." Although he has not been together with Luo Lie for a long time, he has already seen that Luo Lie is very cunning. If he does not reveal his purpose, it will be difficult for Luo Lie to treat him honestly.

Luo Lie whispered: "Who is it?"

"Japanese!" Angry light burst out from Bai Yunfei's eyes. His father died in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 in the late Qing Dynasty. His mother took him from his hometown to Tianjin to escape famine. After suffering all the sufferings in the world, he entrusted him to the opera troupe, his mother chose to commit suicide. Since then, Bai Yunfei hated the Japanese to the core. After the Meiji Restoration, Japan's national strength increased rapidly, and with the victory of the Sino-Japanese War, it seized huge benefits from China and further developed with the wealth it snatched. However, this ambitious neighbor not only was not satisfied, but accelerated the pace of invasion of China. While launching the Russo-Japanese War in Manchuria to seize territory and resources, it also quietly began to penetrate the major coastal cities.

Luo Lie said: "Do you suspect that Ryoko Songxue controls Fang Kangwei?"

Bai Yunfei said: "I have no evidence yet, but I have received news that a Xuanyang Society forces have penetrated into Tianjin. They have started a business of arms and opium under my nose. I suspect that Songxue Liangzi is a member of Xuanyang Society." Most of the shares of these two businesses have always been controlled by Bai Yunfei. Recently, more and more opium and arms flowing into Tianjin from other secret channels have attracted Bai Yunfei's attention. The cost of bulk materials transporting by land is extremely high, and the inspection is carried out at all levels. The Beiyang government's crackdown on these smuggling businesses is also increasing, with extremely high risks. In comparison, it is most feasible to transport by sea.

Bai Yunfei has controlled many ways of sea transportation and smuggling in Tianjin. Of course, the Fang family accounts for the largest share of ports and terminals. However, the Fang family has always been engaged in legitimate business, so naturally there is no need to worry about competition. But if the Fang family's industry really falls into the hands of the Japanese, it is definitely not a good thing for Bai Yunfei.

After understanding the crisis facing Bai Yunfei, Luo Lie also started to use his mind. Although Bai Yunfei is not a good person, he can only rely on his power to rescue Xiao Taohong and his daughter. If Bai Yunfei's speculation is true, Lan Ximei and Songxue Ryoko are the same person and are affiliated with Xuanyang Society, then her arrival is not just to occupy the Fang family's industry. The ultimate goal may be to control the entire Fang family's industry through Fang Kangwei, control the Tianjin Wharf, and use opium and arms to open the door to China.

Luo Lie took a deep breath of air conditioning, recalling the incident in Lingtian Castle in Heihuling. This possibility is extremely high. After considering it, he whispered: "I have seen Liangzi Songxue in Langya Village in Pale Mountain, but at that time she was named Lan Ximei! The nickname of Blue Ape Ji is the eighth head of Langya Village."

Bai Yunfei's expression was full of surprise. He returned to Luo Lie and sat down, listening carefully to Luo Lie to start from the beginning.

Luo Lie is good at scrutinizing people's hearts, so he naturally will not tell Bai Yunfei what happened before in Pale Mountain. He only selects the people and things he is interested in. Although he lacks weight, these news is already precious to Bai Yunfei.

If Luo Lie hadn't said that, Bai Yunfei wouldn't have doubted Yu Manlou at all. He would never have thought that this popular Liyuan rookie was actually a killer.

After Luo Lie finished speaking, Bai Yunfei was silent for a long time before saying, "Your friends must not fall into the hands of the Fang family."

Luo Lie nodded, raised his eyes to look at the increasing wind and snow outside, and whispered: "I need to go there, I hope I can stop him."

Bai Yunfei said: "I will go with you, and I can guarantee his safety in Tianjin."

Luo Lie waited for this sentence. With Bai Yunfei's intelligence, he should have guessed Fang Kewen's true identity. Fortunately, they now have common interests. Bai Yunfei will not harm Fang Kewen in the short term, and they just can use Bai Yunfei's vigilance towards Xuanyang Society to deal with potential enemies.

However, things didn't go smoothly. Luo Lie returned to the door of Fang Mansion and saw Arnold and Zhou Xiping, who had become snowmen on the roadside. The two of them were dedicated and waited in the wind and snow for nearly two hours, but they did not see Fang Kewen.

Luo Lie also felt a little strange after asking about the situation. Fang Kewen didn't come. He was not far from the hotel where he left to Fang Mansion. Logically, even if Fang Kewen left, he had reached the place, but he still did not show up. Could it be that Fang Kewen had not come to Fang Mansion?

Arnold took out the stainless steel wine pot and poured two sips of strong wine. The white gas exhaled was filled with a strong smell of alcohol: "He didn't come."

Luo Lie looked at the crowd who were still entering the Fang family to pay their respects. There were so many people coming and going, but I was afraid that Arnold would have omissions.

Although Arnold had drunk alcohol, his mind was not confused. He emphasized: "Zhou Xiping and I have been staring at me all the time. As long as he comes here, he will never escape our eyes."

Zhou Xiping also came up at this time, came to the car window where Bai Yunfei was, nodding and shouting to Master Bai.

Bai Yunfei nodded, fell down the car window, and whispered a few instructions to Zhou Xiping. In fact, Zhou Xiping had already gathered a lot of people, and Bai Yunfei asked him to add some more. After the arrangement, he said to Luo Lie: "Are you interested in going to Fang Mansion to sing an incense stick of Mr. Fang?"

Luo Lie nodded and said, "Okay!" He could just take this opportunity to go to Fang Mansion to check if Fang Kewen's whereabouts.

The two cars arrived at their location, but Bai Yunfei arranged his subordinates to arrive in advance. All of them were in suits and tied, and brought the wreath that had just been tied.

Luo Lie secretly admired Bai Yunfei for his careful work. It seemed that he had already prepared to pay condolences before coming to Fang Mansion.

For the funeral of the old man Fang Shiming, Fang Gongguan was also very cautious. In name, he was to prevent those omnipresent reporters, and in fact he was also to prevent people from making trouble. In the eyes of many people, the Fang family made some big fuss about this matter. Old Man Fang was kind and generous, and respected him. During his lifetime, both the upper class and the poor people had a high evaluation of him. Even his business rivals respected the old man's character. Now that the old man has lost his people, no one will feel disrespectful to him. As for making trouble at the funeral, it is a big slut of the world. No smart person will do such unethical things.

While the Fang family blocked the reporter, they also blocked many ordinary people who had been favored by the old man to come to pay their respects. Although they could not enter the gate of Fang Mansion, the people still spontaneously organized themselves. The wreaths presented had already filled the walls on both sides of the gate of Fang Mansion. The Fang family could only let all this go.

The threshold of Fang Mansion is not something that anyone can enter. Fang Kangwei sets rules to treat VIPs equally and no one is allowed to drive the car into Fang Mansion.

Mr. Fang’s mourning hall is located in the vast garden of the Fang family. Fang Shiming spent most of his later years here. Since he handed over his business to his son Fang Kangcheng, he has become a quiet place and rarely leaves this house. On weekdays, he only takes a walk in the yard. Until Fang Kangcheng died of an acute illness, Fang Shiming was paralyzed due to excessive sadness and stroke, he was sent to Renci Hospital by his youngest son Fang Kangwei on the grounds of curing his illness.

Fang Kangwei's reason was that sending him to the hospital would allow the old man to receive better and more timely treatment, but in the eyes of outsiders, he always felt that this guy was unfilial. With the financial resources of the Fang family, he could easily hire a top medical team to take care of the old man's body. Why should he keep the old man away from home? Now that Fang Shiming passed away, his body was finally sent back to his hometown.

Fang Kangwei knelt in the cold mourning hall and kept thanking him. As a son, this is his duty. From the time the old man returned home to the present, he had almost never got up next to the coffin. His physical fatigue was still the second. His smoking addiction began to be recurring again. He yawned constantly, and tears and snot flowed down. This guy really couldn't hold on. He didn't care about the surprised eyes of the people around him, covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, got up and hurriedly left the mourning hall and walked backwards.

Entering the gate of the small building, Fang Kangwei immediately rushed to his study at a speed of 100 meters. He didn't bother to take off his mourning clothes and take off his shoes, so he climbed onto Xiaoyao bed, picked up the exquisitely crafted big smoke bong, and skillfully put the cigarette paste on the oil lamp to suck hard. After spitting out several large mouthfuls of smoke, Fang Kangwei breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of intoxication from the bottom of his heart, and he felt as comfortable as he ascended to the immortality, put the smoke bong in the white copper tray of the small table. He stretched comfortably and let out a moan of pleasure from the gap between his teeth. He didn't want to be eternal, but just wanted to take a sip. Fang Kangwei understood the true meaning of the world. A person lived for a lifetime just to satisfy himself. He had done a lot of food, drink, and gambling in this life, but adding up the four things is worse than a single word to draw.

When I saw my father's face just now, Fang Kangwei was indeed a little sad, and even felt a little guilty, but I forgot everything after smoking these few puffs of cigarettes. I am like a god. Now I am a god. How can I relieve my worries? I can only smoke.

While Fang Kangwei was happily savoring the pleasure brought to him by the longevity cream, the door was pushed open from outside. Ryoko Matsuxue, wearing a black kimono, appeared in front of him without warning. As Fang Shiming's daughter-in-law, should have worn mourning clothes, the newly married concubine actually resisted the filial piety clothes and chose this black kimono in his own way. She seemed out of place in the white filial piety clothes. Fang Kangwei had to let her go. Although the other family members were unhappy, they were Fang Kangwei in charge of the family now, and he didn't say anything, so it was naturally inconvenient for others to blame.

Fang Kangwei looked at her with some dissatisfaction: "Don't you know how to knock on the door?"
