Yu Manli said: "My father never told me this before."

Seeing Yu Mengzhu hesitant to speak, Yu Manli asked in confusion: "Sister Mengzhu, do you have something to say? Just say it."

Yu Mengzhu nodded and said, “I find that you and Uncle Jincheng are not similar at all.

Of course, it may be because you are too beautiful that I have this illusion."

Isn't this indirectly saying that Yu Jincheng is ugly?

Yu Manli said shyly: "Thank you for the compliment, Sister Mengzhu. I am not my father's biological daughter, I am his goddaughter."

Yu Mengzhu was stunned. How could this be possible? Her heart was burning with curiosity.

"Really? Then tell me what's going on. If you are my goddaughter, why do you also have the last name Yu?"

Perhaps she also wanted to find someone to talk to, so Yu Manli recounted the entire process from being sold to a brothel by her stepfather, to being taken out of the brothel, and to being rescued by Yu Jincheng on the way.

After saying this, Yu Manli seemed to think of her dead sisters and her eyes turned red.

As the listener, Yu Mengzhu also had tears in her eyes and was full of sympathy for Mengzhu's experience.

She didn't expect that Yu Manli's life was so miserable.

Feeling distressed, he hugged Yu Manli in his arms and comforted her: "Good sister, you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Yu Manli nodded with tears in her eyes and said nothing.

Having experienced so many ups and downs, Yu Manli's mental quality is much stronger than Yu Mengzhu's.

Then, Yu Mengzhu also told her own experience.

When Yu Manli learned that Yu Mengzhu was the woman of Shen Hao, the Inspector General of Guangdong and Guangxi, her eyes lit up and hope ignited in her heart.

The hatred I had for the brothel surged up in my heart once again.

They were the ones who killed their sisters who had shared hardships with them.

If you want revenge, you can't rely on your own strength, you can only rely on power.

When Yu Manli heard that Guangdong was going to recruit 20,000 orphans, she was excited, but she just didn't make it.

I thought I had no chance, but unexpectedly I met Shen Hao’s woman Yu Mengzhu.

Although he really wanted to continue his relationship with Yu Mengzhu, get close to Shen Hao, and use his power to take revenge.

However, Yu Mengzhu's enthusiasm and care made Yu Manli cherish this hard-earned relationship. She did not want to take advantage of Yu Mengzhu and could only bury this wish deep in her heart.

At the same time, in the study, Yu Hangxing was very happy to see his childhood playmate and distant cousin Yu Jincheng again.

Yu Hangxing poured the tea and said with a smile: "Cousin, I haven't seen you for so many years. What do you do for a living?"

Yu Jincheng smiled and said, "I do some antique and medicinal materials business to make a living."

Yu Hangxing sighed: "We parted when we were kids, and it's been decades since we last met."

Yu Jincheng sighed: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time."

At this time, Yu Hangxing took out a brocade box, took out a snuff bottle from it and placed it in front of Yu Jincheng.

"Since you are in the antique business, take a look at this item of mine. Please pay attention. It was given to me by my daughter."

Speaking of this, Yu Hangxing had a smile on his face and looked very proud. It was obvious that he was very happy about the gift from his daughter Yu Mengzhu.

Just by taking a quick look, you can tell it is the real thing when you see the Western scenery and mother-child paintings on the snuff bottle and the cloud pattern on the oval ring foot.

When I saw the words "Made in the Qianlong Period" on the base of the snuff bottle, I confirmed them again.

Yu Jincheng nodded and said, "This is a snuff bottle with cloisonné enamel and Western figures made by Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty.

The sixty-year reign of Emperor Qianlong marked the peak of the Qing dynasty’s development. Porcelain manufacturing was the culmination of thousands of years of successive famous kilns, and many exquisitely crafted porcelains were produced. It was the golden age of porcelain production.

There were only a few hundred pieces of enameled porcelain during the Qianlong period, which is extremely expensive and rare.

It’s a good thing, worth collecting.”

Yu Hangxing didn't care about the value of this snuff bottle at all. There were many more precious antiques in his collection than this one.

But he was very proud of the gift from his daughter.

"This is a gift from Meng Zhu. I like it very much."

Looking at Yu Hangxing who couldn't put down the snuff bottle, Yu Jincheng smiled and understood.

Of course, he knew Yu Hangxing's status and position, and he would not care about such a small snuff bottle at all. It was more of a token of his thoughtfulness.

Then, Yu Hangxing opened another piece of calligraphy and asked Yu Jincheng to look at it and said, "How about this word 'Fu'?"

Yu Jincheng nodded and watched carefully.

"Pines and cranes live long in the green mountains, and the evergreen heart is always there."

“Good word!

This piece of calligraphy is simple and powerful, and the vigorous feeling jumps out of the paper.

Especially the lively and ancient feeling between the lines, the awe-inspiring momentum, it is really a masterpiece.

This word is of great value.”

Then, Yu Jincheng looked at the signature seal.

"Shen Hao!"

He was stunned and asked, "Could this be Shen Hao, the Inspector General of Guangdong and Guangxi?"

Yu Hangxing stroked his beard and smiled: "That's right."

Yu Jincheng sighed, "In the antique world today, there have long been rumors that the calligraphy of Guangdong and Guangxi Inspector General Shen Hao is at the master level, and the price is very high. Someone offered 10,000 yuan for it.

I originally thought it was just flattery, but today when I saw General Shen’s original work, I realized that his calligraphy is really worth the price.

This calligraphy has a high collection value.

As General Shen's status becomes higher, the value of this word "Fu" will surely increase and become more valuable.

Good words, good words."

Yu Hangxing laughed heartily and was very satisfied with the gift from his daughter.

It is both elegant and rare, and it really belongs to a man.

While feeling happy, Yu Hangxing suddenly thought of something?

He patted Yu Jincheng on the shoulder and said, "Jincheng, since you are in the medicinal materials business, I happen to have someone here, let me introduce him to you.

You can keep in touch with each other in the future and ask him to take care of your business."

Yu Jincheng was stunned, and his heart warmed, knowing that it was Yu Hangxing who promoted him, so he hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, cousin, for your support."

Yu Hangxing laughed and said, "We are all family, why should we be polite? Besides, I am supporting you because you have the ability.

You don't have the ability, so there's nothing I can do even if I want to help you.

Come on, I'll take you to see him."

Yu Jincheng was very grateful for Yu Hangxing's support.

Soon, they arrived at the living room and saw a man wearing glasses and a suit and tie, chatting happily with Yongxin's boss Lu Yusheng and the British Concession's detective Xu Wenqiang.

Seeing Yu Hangxing and Yu Jincheng coming over, the three stopped talking and greeted Yu Hangxing one after another.

"Hello, President Yu"

Yu Hangxing said with a smile: "Inspector Xu, Boss Lu, Boss Jie"

Then, he pointed to his cousin Yu Jincheng and said, "This is my cousin Yu Jincheng, he is in the business of medicinal materials and antiques."

Upon hearing this, everyone was smart and understood it instantly. They all looked at the boss who was also in the medicinal materials business.

Boss Xie was also very tactful and said with a smile: "Hello Mr. Yu, I am Xie Laojiu from Changsha, and I am also in the medicinal materials business. We can cooperate more in the future."

Lu Yusheng also said: "This is a famous family in Changsha, Master Jie Jiu from the Old Nine Gates, a very powerful husband.

Not only did Master Jie Jiu run two casinos in our British and French Concessions, he also monopolized the import and export of medicinal herbs in the French Concession, and even had a hand in the jewelry market. He also studied in Japan, and his chess skills were amazing. "

407. Yu Hangxing was killed!

Master Jiu Xie hurriedly bowed and said, "Boss Lu really respects me too much.

I can make a living in Shanghai thanks to the support of several bosses, but I dare not say that."

Although Lao Jiu Men is very famous in Changsha, it is nothing in Shanghai.

What's more, Master Jie Jiu is only from the lower three of the Old Nine Sects and is nothing.

Naturally, he did not dare to be arrogant, as this was not in his interest.

For Mr. Jie Jiu, being able to attend Yu Hangxing's birthday party is a good opportunity to expand his network.

Yu Hangxing smiled and said, "My cousin Yu Jincheng is also in the medicinal materials business. In this regard, I need the support of Master Jie Jiu. One is from the south and the other is from the north, so we can complement each other."

Master Jiu Xie said hurriedly: "Of course there is no problem, I will take all of Mr. Yu's medicinal materials from now on."

Yu Jincheng said gratefully: "Thank you very much, Mr. Xie"

"Haha, don't be so polite, we are mutually beneficial," said Master Jiu.

Seeing that Master Jie Jiu was so sensible, Yu Hangxing was very satisfied and said with a smile: "Since Master Jie Jiu is interested in joining our Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, I think it's okay."

Hearing this, Master Jiu Xie was overjoyed.

This is what he has always dreamed of.

Because his roots are in Changsha, Yu Hangxing and others are very important if he wants to integrate into the Shanghai circle.

Before, I had always wanted to find a way but never had any chance. I didn’t expect to succeed today.

This made him feel very favorable towards Jincheng and he was very grateful.

Without Yu Jincheng's appearance, it would be impossible for him to enter the Chamber of Commerce with his assets.

Afterwards, everyone enjoyed themselves.

The next day, the "Conference to Persuade People to Use Domestic Products" began under the leadership of Yu Hangxing.

Master Jie Jiu and Yu Jincheng also followed behind Yu Hangxing.

Nearly 4 people attended the meeting, which was a huge event.

The Municipal Council also sent patrol police to guard the area strictly.

In the crowd, several men wearing hats suddenly shot at Yu Hangxing.

boom! boom! boom!

Several shots were fired in succession, all hitting Yu Hangxing's chest, and blood gushed out instantly.

Yu Jincheng hurriedly carried Yu Hangxing to the hospital.

When we arrived at the hospital, the person was already dead.

The doctor handed Yu Jincheng a jade ring and a snuff bottle.

"This is Mr. Yu's relic, please keep it for the family."

Yu Jincheng nodded. Now that Yu Mengzhu was not there, he was a relative.

But before Yu Jincheng could wait for Yu Mengzhu to arrive at the hospital, he and Jie Jiuye were taken away by the police.

Yu Hangxing’s death had such a huge impact that the two were taken away for questioning as suspects.

When Yu Mengzhu got the news, Yu Hangxing had already passed away.

Upon hearing such bad news, Yu Mengzhu fainted.

Yu Hangxing, chairman of the "Association for Encouraging the Use of Domestic Products", head of the National Saving Fund Group, president of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, and the richest man in Shanghai, died in this way, causing a huge uproar.

It once again ignited everyone's anti-Japanese enthusiasm.

You don't have to guess to know that it was done by Japanese spies.

As a result, the voices for boycotting Japanese goods in Shanghai grew louder and louder, and all the shops run by Japanese in Fuzhou Road, Nanjing Road and other places were closed and suspended.

The police station sent more detectives to patrol the area to "suppress the situation" on the grounds that they were afraid of the crowd causing trouble.

At the same time, leaflets calling for a boycott of Japanese goods were posted on walls in streets and alleys inside and outside the city and on electric poles.

The patriotic actions of Shanghai merchants and citizens were responded to by merchants and citizens from all over the country. Merchants from all over the country refused to sell Japanese goods and everyone used domestic products.
