Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

Shen Hao was exhausted after a busy day.

"Please sit down, sir, I'll wash your feet."

Tao Yingying didn't have many ulterior motives and quickly filled the foot bath water for Shen Hao.

After taking off her cloth shoes, Tao Yingying carefully washed Shen Hao's feet.

Looking at Tao Yingying's slender figure, Shen said, "Yingying, you look like you've lost a lot of weight these past few days."

Tao Yingying forced a smile; she hadn't yet recovered from the grief of losing her father and brother in the past few days.

Even so, she washed Shen Hao's feet with great care.

Hu Xueli and Bao Shuang each massaged one of Shen Hao's shoulders.

"Master, you must be exhausted so late today."

Shen Hao nodded and said, "The students caused trouble today, and quite a few were arrested, which is why I'm back late."

Hu Xueli gave a reproachful snort and said, "How do you like student girls? They're much tastier than us roughnecks, aren't they?"

Shen Hao chuckled, sensing Hu Xueli's teasing.

"Don't worry, the master won't treat you unfairly."

Bao Shuang said, "It's enough that Master cares about us."

After washing his feet, Shen Hao went into the main room.

Just as they were about to close the door, Hu Xueli rushed in.

Before Shen Hao could even ask a question, Hu Xueli said with a charming smile, "Tonight, I want to know where student girls are better than us."

35. Rescue Xu Wenqiang

The next day, when Shen Hao got up, his legs were weak.

I came out leaning against the wall.

While hard work can continuously increase endurance, physical strength, and some neurological skills.

However, the internal organs are still the limit of human capabilities, and that will not change.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Shen Hao's dark circles under his eyes were a testament to how hard he had worked last night.

The two patrol officers smiled as they watched Shen Hao walk.

This bureau chief is really something else.

Upon arriving at the bureau, Shen Hao had the family members of the former bureau chief and the deceased team leader summoned and distributed their compensation.

Shen Hao originally planned to use it, but Hu Xueli alone offered 10,000 silver dollars, and Fang Yanyun was even more outrageous, also offering 10,000 silver dollars.

There are other rewards, including 100 suicide soldiers.

Heavy machine guns like the Maxim.

It adds up to 20,000 yuan, more money than you can possibly spend.

Therefore, Shen Hao decided not to borrow the compensation money and sent it out directly.

Of course, three hundred silver dollars belonged to Hu Xueli.

The families who received the compensation were extremely grateful to Shen Hao.

I kowtow in gratitude!

'More Director Shen'

'He's truly a just and upright official!'

'Director Shen, thank you so much!'

In no time, Shen Hao's reputation in the Chengnan Branch Bureau improved.

Be generous and magnanimous, and you'll be rewarded.

He takes the money and delivers; he's a man of his word.

Meanwhile, Shen Hao went to the General Administration and delivered two thousand silver dollars to Cao Yuanzheng.

Seeing Shen Hao's filial piety, Cao Yuanzheng couldn't stop smiling.

"Not bad, not bad, you're the one who makes things easier for me. Not only did you prevent any deaths, but you also made me quite a bit of money."

"If the other bureaus were as sensible as you, why would I have to work so hard?" Cao Yuanzheng sighed.

He felt that the wisest thing he had ever done was to make Shen Hao the director of the Chengnan branch of the Public Security Bureau.

He's only been in office for a few days and he's already amassed 12,000 silver dollars. He can sleep with whichever he wants in the Eight Great Hutongs.

He can take more concubines now.

Therefore, the more he looked at Shen Hao, the more satisfied he became.

Shen Hao smiled and said, "It's like this, Director. A friend of mine was arrested during the last protest and sentenced to three years in prison. Do you think you could release him?"

Cao Yuanzheng waved his hand and laughed, "Little Shen, it's such a small matter. You've already asked, how could I refuse? I'll give you a heads-up in a bit, and you can go directly to the East Branch to pick him up."

Shen Hao smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Director Cao."

After leaving the headquarters, Shen Hao went to find Fang Yanyun.

Upon seeing Shen Hao again, Fang Yanyun felt a mix of emotions.

But it has obviously already been appointed.

She obediently walked to Shen Hao's side and said, "Director Shen."

Shen Hao pulled Fang Yanyun into his arms and kissed her on the lips, saying, "From now on, don't call me 'Director' anymore, just call me 'Master,' understand?"

"Um"

Then, Shen Hao took Fang Yanyun's hand and got into the carriage.

Fang Yanyun asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"

"Go and rescue Xu Wenqiang"

Upon hearing this, a complex emotion flashed in Fang Yanyun's beautiful eyes.

I didn't know what to say.

I don't know how to face Xu Wenqiang.

During their school years, the two hit it off and had feelings for each other, but neither of them confessed their feelings.

Now things have changed, and she has become Shen Hao's woman.

As it stands, Fang Yanyun doesn't dislike Shen Hao.

The lingering thoughts about Xu Wenqiang in her mind have faded considerably.

However, the sudden need to meet Xu Wenqiang caught her somewhat off guard.

Soon, they arrived at the East Branch of the Public Security Bureau. With Cao Yuanzheng's intervention, no one dared to make things difficult for them.

Soon, several patrol officers brought out a man with a stubble-covered face and a颓废 (颓废 is a difficult word to translate directly, but it implies a sense of listlessness, apathy, or a sense of being dejected) look.

Upon closer inspection, he looks somewhat like Chow Yun-fat.

Xu Wenqiang was also completely bewildered. Wasn't he sentenced to three years in prison? How could he have been released so suddenly?

When they saw Fang Yanyun and Shen Hao beside her, even the dumbest person would know what was going on.

Xu Wenqiang couldn't help but feel bitter that his first love was lying in someone else's arms, right in front of him.

"Ms. Yan... thank you for saving me."

Hearing Xu Wenqiang's slightly unfamiliar way of addressing her, Fang Yanyun sighed inwardly, "It's all in the past now."

Then, taking a deep breath and smiling slightly, she said gracefully, "Xu Wenqiang, this is my husband, Shen Hao. I begged him to release you."

Xu Wenqiang clasped his hands in thanks to Shen Hao and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Shen, for saving my life."

Shen Hao laughed and said, "There's no need for that. Although you were arrested and sentenced, I still think you're a real man."

After all, patriotism is not a crime.

Patriotism is not a crime!

It reignited the flame in Xu Wenqiang's cold heart.

Her eyes were also slightly red.

Fang Yanyun, who was standing to the side, was also deeply moved, and her feelings of goodwill towards Shen Hao increased.

Xu Wenqiang bowed to Shen Hao and said, "Mr. Shen, I was young, ignorant, and reckless."

Shen Hao asked, "What are your plans for the future?"

A hint of confusion flashed in Xu Wenqiang's eyes.

He shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Shen Hao said, "Why don't we try our luck in Shanghai? There are more opportunities there."
