Ten miles of foreign concessions.

The unshaven-bearded Xingzai and the fat boy Cong were squatting on the most prosperous Nanjing Road, observing every woman coming and going.

As the saying goes, food and sex are human nature.

A beggar would also fall in love with a woman dressed sexily, let alone Ah Xing and Fatty Cong, two young men in their prime.

Squatting on the street and watching beauties is one of their few entertainment activities.

Judging from their clothes, it is hard to tell that they are penniless, but the place where they are squatting is a corner where beggars often stay.

Not long after the two of them squatted down, a ragged beggar appeared from nowhere and stared at them with a ferocious look.

"Go away, this is my place."

"Why do you say this is your seat? Is your name written on the ground?"

Ah Xing curled his lips in dissatisfaction, his face full of indignation, but Fatty Cong timidly pulled his sleeve and pointed his finger to the opposite side.

I saw a group of strong beggars not far away, standing up in unison, all with fierce looks on their faces.

Feeling these vicious looks, Ah Xing decisively admitted his mistake and said with a wry smile: "Brother, it's just a joke, don't mind it, we'll leave now."

Say it.

Ah Xing pulled Fatty Cong and ran towards the Casablanca nightclub in front.

That was Master Liu's territory. Without Master Liu's permission, no street beggars, big or small, dared to approach.

Because there are too many beggars gathering at the door, it will affect the nightclub's business.

"Gululu..."

As soon as the two of them walked near the nightclub, Fatty Cong's stomach started to growl in protest.

He hasn't eaten all day.

"Find a cool place to stay. I'll sneak in and try to get some food out."

Ever since Ah Xing was tricked by a mysterious old beggar into paying for his school fees when he was a child, his living conditions have been getting worse and worse. Especially after his parents died in an accident, his relatives and friends ignored him, forcing him to work as a child laborer for free.

It was also because of his special childhood experiences that he learned many skills, such as watch repair, lock picking, tailoring, etc.

If he had found a job earnestly, he could have led a relatively decent life, and even found a wife to live with. However, Ah Xing was used to being bullied, and he wanted to join the Black Society and become the one who could bully others.

After mastering the most basic survival skills.

Gradually, Ah Xing began to become idle, thinking about joining a gang all day and wasting his time.

Feizai Cong shared the same suffering as Ah Xing. After his parents were killed by the Japanese devils, he had also been bullied. One time, Ah Xing couldn't stand it and helped them, and then he was blamed for it.

Maybe it’s because Fatty Cong is too naive and doesn’t have much ability to take care of himself, so Ah Xing has always kept him by his side and taken care of him until now.

……

Casablanca.

A den of extravagance and decadence.

Whenever night falls, the wealthy and powerful people and foreign officers in the concession would bring their partners into this nightclub which combines a dance hall, gambling hall, bar, restaurant and other functions into one.

This city that never sleeps, built by Liu Yutian ('Master Liu'), has now become a place for the upper class and dignitaries to socialize and entertain. The Japanese who occupy the entire southeastern coastal area will also give Liu Yutian some face.

Of course.

The main reason is that this place is in the British Concession.

The Japanese empire was once a powerful empire. Even though it had begun to decline, a lean camel was still bigger than a horse. The real decline of the British Empire actually occurred after World War II.

At that time, the world's dominance was taken away by the Eagle Sauce.

In 1944, at the end of World War II, major Western countries held a meeting in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, USA, and signed the Bretton Woods Agreement, which established a fixed exchange rate system between the US dollar and gold, thus establishing the international currency status of the US dollar.

The dollar hegemony system claims to be born.

Since then, North America has become the center of the West, and Europe has become a vassal...

"Boss Liu, business is booming!"

"Boss Liu~~"

At nine o'clock in the evening, Liu Yutian, surrounded by a group of bodyguards, walked into the nightclub wearing a suit and holding a cigar. The dancing customers along the way greeted them one after another, and Mr. Liu responded one by one with a smile on his face all the time.

On the dance floor.

Cheng Long hugged Weiwei's slender waist and swayed his body slowly like the people around him. The music playing in his ears was jazz-style blues music.

This style of music is particularly popular today.

"By the way, I haven't asked your name yet?"

Cheng Long looked at the dancer in front of him who looked like Huo Siyan, and found it incredible when he thought that she was Zeng Shaoshuai's beloved girlfriend.

As Shaoshuai’s girlfriend, she actually comes to the nightclub at night to work and hugs other people’s men. Does Shaoshuai really not mind at all?

He definitely wouldn't be able to accept it.

"My name is Weiwei, what's yours, sir?"

Weiwei's heart was beating very fast at this moment. Logically speaking, since she was in love with Zeng Shaoshuai, she should have a strong resistance to men. After all, Shaoshuai was handsome and had status, and there were only a handful of people who could compare to him.

But when Cheng Long came closer to her, she wanted to undress and serve him wholeheartedly.

It's hard to imagine that there is such a charming man in the world.

When she was dancing jazz with Cheng Long, she should have kept a distance from the customers, but she couldn't help but get closer and closer to the customers.

It feels like being poisoned.

"My last name is Cheng, and my given name is Long."

"Brother Long, excuse me, what do you do?"

Weiwei raised her head slightly and asked with rosy cheeks.

"I just got here and I don't have a job yet. If you have any good recommendations, please tell me."

Cheng Long smiled faintly, making people feel like spring breeze. Weiwei, who was already attracted by his temperament, instantly became dazed.

Just at this moment, the song ended and the two of them followed the crowd back to the booth.

As soon as you take your seat.

Weiwei poured tea and wine for Cheng Long with great enthusiasm.

Just then, a furtive figure sneaked into the booth area.

"Weiwei, have you seen that person? Please invite him over. I want to talk to him."

"Hmm~"

Weiwei stood up reluctantly, walked quickly to a booth, and said to Ah Xing who was about to do something sneaky: "Hey~~ Someone wants to see you, come with me."

"Looking for me? Who's looking for me?"

Ah Xing looked confused.

Having lived in Shanghai since he was a child, he can't say that he doesn't know anyone, but it can be said that it's better than nothing, and no one will come to the nightclub.

"Why are you asking so many questions? Just follow me."

Weiwei smelled the sour smell emanating from Ah Xing and took a step back in disgust.

The clothes he wears are so ugly, but they haven't been washed for several days and they are going to smell bad.

How did this person get in? "Okay, lead the way..." Ah Xing smiled ingratiatingly and motioned Weiwei to lead the way.

Upon hearing this, Weiwei turned around and walked towards Cheng Long. Little did she know that the moment she turned around, Ah Xing whooshed into the crowd and slipped away.

"Brother Long, the person you want..."

Weiwei walked up to Cheng Long and was about to introduce herself to him, but when she turned around, there was no one behind her.

"This bastard!"

Weiwei looked around but couldn't see Ah Xing. She was so angry that her teeth were about to break.

I have to say, this guy runs away really fast!

"Okay, okay, sit down and have a drink." Cheng Long waved at Weiwei.

Weiwei rolled her eyes, and sat down in the man's arms, angrily saying, "This guy is really ungrateful. Brother Long, you invited him here with good intentions, but he just slipped away without saying a word."

"You can't blame him entirely. When he was stealing food and was suddenly stopped by someone, anyone would feel uneasy." Cheng Long put one hand around Weiwei's waist and the other hand stroked Weiwei's thigh. Facing the woman who took the initiative to sit on him, there was naturally no need to be polite.

"Ah~~He was just eating secretly?"

Weiwei's eyes widened. This guy was so bold that he even dared to steal in Master Liu's place.

"Yeah, I wanted to ask him to come over for a bite to eat as a good deed, but unfortunately others thought their crimes were exposed and slipped away early." When Cheng Long was teasing Weiwei, his spiritual awareness was not idle either, as Ah Xing, Qi Qi, and Liu Ye were all under his surveillance.

Ah Xing must be very hungry. He took a piece of bread here and a glass of juice there. Seeing that there was no one in the booth, he even dared to tear off a chicken leg from the roast chicken on the table.

"You didn't know how to seize the opportunity, you deserve to starve."

Weiwei had a very bad impression of Ah Xing. Not only did he smell of sour sweat, but he also had hands and feet and was stealing things, and he did it in Master Liu's place.

If the security personnel found out about this, my hands would be chopped off.

"Don't worry about him. Just have a drink with me."

"No, I can only drink half a cup at most."

"Okay, you drink half a cup and I drink one cup, let's see who can't stand it first..."

“Brother Long, if you want to do this, then I will sacrifice my life to accompany you.”

Weiwei smiled, poured herself a small glass of white wine, drank it all in one gulp, and then poured a full glass for Cheng Long.

Cheng Long would of course not go back on his word, he picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp like drinking water.

"..."

Seeing that the man's face was not red and his heart was not beating, Weiwei knew that she had met a tough guy, so she changed the subject and praised him with a smile: "Brother Long, I didn't expect you to be so good at drinking, it's amazing! Sister Qiqi will be on stage soon, let's continue dancing!"

"Okay, let's dance again."

Cheng Long didn't have any bad intentions in forcing Weiwei to drink.

However, when dancing, the two of them behaved very ambiguously, with Weiwei's head resting on his shoulder the entire time.

As they were dancing, there was suddenly a commotion in the booth area on the second floor.

The two looked up and saw Ah Xing, who was wearing a white shirt, surrounded by three security guards. His trouser pockets were full, and it was obvious that there were a lot of items stuffed in them.

"Boy, you are so bold that you dare to cause trouble in Master Liu's place! According to the rules, you need to leave your right hand behind to steal things..." The security captain said coldly: "Drag him away!"

"No~~"

thump!
Ah Xing knelt down decisively, hugged the security captain's thigh, and cried out with snot and tears: "Brother, I just took some food. I didn't touch the watches and famous wines on the table. Look...osmanthus cake, candied dates, roasted chicken legs, and bananas, they are all worthless."

As Ah Xing spoke, he rummaged around in his pockets. As he took out food piece by piece, his bulging pockets soon deflated.

"Stealing is stealing. If you steal food, your hands will still be chopped off. This is Master Liu's rule."

"Take him away."

The security captain shouted at him harshly, not giving Ah Xing any chance to cause trouble.

Soon, Ah Xing, with a look of horror on his face, was dragged out by two security guards.

Downstairs, Weiwei returned to the booth and looked at Cheng Long who was at ease. She chuckled and said, "Brother Long, I thought you were going to help me!"

"There's no need. Two mere mediocre warriors can't do anything to him." Cheng Long didn't want Xingzai, who could soar to the sky by opening his Ren and Du meridians, to die in Liu Yutian's nightclub.

"I do not believe!"

Just as Weiwei finished her words, Ah Xing, who had been dragged to the door, suddenly jumped up, pushed away the two people beside him, and jumped out of the open window in the corridor on the second floor.

By the time the security personnel arrived at the window, Ah Xing, who had jumped off the building, had already escaped.

"Do you believe it now?"

"I, I didn't expect this guy to be so lucky that he could jump from the second floor and be safe and sound."

Weiwei found this particularly incredible. The second floor of the nightclub was equivalent to the third floor of an ordinary house and was more than nine meters high.

At such a height, not to mention an ordinary person, even a skilled warrior would not dare to act rashly.

"This is just the beginning. This guy is very lucky!"

Cheng Long grinned. Ah Xing not only jumped out of the window to escape calmly, but he also had two pieces of chocolate and a banana hidden on his body when he jumped out of the window. In order to ensure that Fatty Cong would not be hungry at night, this guy really tried his best.

"Brother Long, you seem to be very optimistic about him. I don't understand. How can a petty thief like him deserve your special regard?" Weiwei couldn't help but raise the doubts in her mind.

"There are some things you don't understand."

Cheng Long replied mysteriously.

Next, the two of them ate, drank and chatted for a long time until eleven o'clock in the evening, when they just left Casablanca nightclub.

"Master, go..." Weiwei helped the 'half drunk and half awake' Cheng Long out of the nightclub, stopped a rickshaw, and took him directly back to her home.

Before this, only one man had ever been to the place where she lived.

Northeast Army, Zeng Shaoshuai.

Helping Cheng Long into the room, Weiwei looked at the man lying on the bed, who was handsome from every angle, and couldn't help but bend down and kiss Cheng Long on the face.

This bite was like opening Pandora's box. It kept coming back, again and again, and there was no sign of it being able to stop.

"Ah~~"

Weiwei, who was leaning over to kiss her secretly, suddenly let out a scream.

Cheng Long suddenly opened his eyes, grabbed the frightened little sheep and pulled it into his arms, grinning and saying, "Weiwei, it's my turn to kiss you now."

"Hmm~~"

Before Weiwei could even say a few words, Cheng Long blocked her mouth tightly.

The cheongsam she was wearing disappeared.

At the same time, in an empty alley.

Ah Xing took out two chocolates and a banana hidden in his crotch and handed them to the eager Fatty Cong: "Eat it, this is all we have for tonight. I'll take it to Pig Cage City for a feast tomorrow."

"Feast?" Fatty Cong took the chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he said, "Are we going to have a free feast? Red or white?"

"No matter whether it's red or white, as long as you listen to me tomorrow, I guarantee you'll have something to eat..." Ah Xing put down a door panel, lay down lazily, and curled up his body habitually, which made him feel safe.

"The chocolate smells like chicken drumsticks, so nice! I haven't had chicken drumsticks in a long time."

"I could have let you eat chicken legs tonight, but unfortunately you were caught red-handed."
