Yu Jin stood where he was, when he heard the sound of the elevator closing.A table of remnants looks absurd, although there are only coffee cups and wine glasses, oil stains on the tablecloth, smoked cigars, and napkins that fell on the floor, it is very boring no matter how you look at it.There are some things that should be known about those boring gossip in the art world.She thought that if she was not there, most of the talk would fall on her.But no matter how tired she was, she couldn't be as relaxed as others, and she almost lost her mind several times while eating. Picking up the embroidered woolen shawl on the back of the chair, Yu Jin felt a little regretful, she was totally unprepared for Bai Yunshang to rush in, it seemed that she had lost an opportunity.So, how do you find another excuse to meet this woman?

Without even looking at the elevator, she passed by, walked forward, and pushed open the door leading to the stairwell. She preferred to walk upstairs.She practiced mountain climbing every day in Hong Kong, and she walked steadily without even taking a breather, carrying a cheongsam and stepping on high heels up the stairs.After climbing to the eighteenth floor in one breath, she took a breath. Walking into the corridor and turning into the nineteenth-floor stairs, Yu Jin noticed a shadow on the dark stairs, and was startled, and leaned his back against the wall to observe the movement. "Don't be afraid, it's me." A woman's voice.

"Oh my god, it's Yunshang, what are you doing here?" Yu Jin said angrily. Thank goodness, this Bai Yunshang came to the door by herself!But Yu Jin understood that this time Shapiro must have ordered his subordinates not to block this woman and let her take the elevator upstairs. There are only two apartments on the 19th floor, so it is easy to find Yu Jin.Yu Jin stretched out her hand and pressed the switch on the wall, the light came on, Bai Yunshang was still so charming, her lipstick was new, and a cigarette was held between her fingers.I understand, her intoxicated appearance just now was just for show.

"I'm a little worried about you. Tonight, I can see that your thoughts are still on Ni Zeren. You are afraid that he will have an accident. I am the same. He is equally important to me." For a moment, Yu Jin didn't know what this Bai Yunshang would do. Such moves.If she didn't know that the situation was urgent, she would rather take it easy, think carefully, and then take the next step.In such a complicated situation, one step cannot be wrong.But there was really no time, and she couldn't give up this opportunity. Yu Jin turned around and walked up the stairs. The carpet had been cleaned and scented, and the handrail was even smoother.Yu Jin quickly went up the stairs.

Bai Yunshang followed. With such a small ladder, she would be out of breath, which gave Yu Jin confidence. "You love him, don't you?" Yu Jin still didn't answer. Bai Yunshang said: "You have to tell me the truth, just like I tell you the truth: I really fell in love with him, and that's why I had no choice but to become a rival in love with you." Yu Jin decided not to play this nasty Tai Chi with her, Today we must directly reveal the goals of both sides.So she said the most unkind words: "As early as tomorrow afternoon, and as late as the day after tomorrow, he will have his corpse at the Hongkou Target Range. If you want to collect the body, you can go. I have fulfilled the responsibility of a wife. It’s tiring.” Usually, if someone calls her Mrs. Ni, she will immediately correct her angrily—please call her Miss Yu.She said the word "Madam" tonight to make things difficult for this woman surnamed Bai, and of course for herself.She didn't even want to assume the title of "ex-wife".

Yu Jin walked towards her room, took out the key, and was not surprised to find that Bai Yunshang was still behind her.She pushed open the door, turned on the light in the aisle, and didn't look back, "Do you have something to tell me?" Bai Yunshang walked into the room in front of her without a word, walked directly through the wide aisle, and walked towards the sofa in the living room. When I sat down, I kicked off my high heels, and leaned against a corner of the sofa with my legs crossed, looking very comfortable.She didn't look around the room either, but just looked at Yu Jin tenderly.

Yu Jin walked into the room, turned on the lamp on the table, and went to the bathroom to wash her hands. She was startled. This time, Bai Yunshang seemed to be revealing her true nature: her acting skills were so confident that she could get full marks. This must be her professional role. The pretendingly shy amateur actor above is totally different.When Yu Jin returned to the living room, even though he was mentally prepared, Bai Yunshang's words still surprised Yu Jin. "Go pick Ni Zeren out of prison tomorrow." "What?" Yu Jin looked shocked, and turned to Bai Yunshang to see how far this woman's truth was going to be revealed tonight.

Bai Yunshang nodded as if nothing had happened. "How do you know that he will be released from prison?" "If you pick him up tomorrow, won't the whole of Shanghai know about it?" Such an answer is really amazing.Seeing that Yu Jin was surprised and angry, Bai Yunshang looked very happy.Only then did she slowly come up with a clear explanation: "Sister, let me tell you frankly, I am an internal investigator of the Chongqing Military Command, and my main responsibility is to monitor Ni Zeren. Ni Zeren didn't know my identity and thought I was a down-and-out Northeast They are just wandering students. Ni Zeren is actually accountant for Boss Du Yuesheng. When Boss Du returned to Chongqing from Hong Kong, Ni Zeren felt that he had lost his power, and he also knew that the good days of the concession were not long. He had the idea of ​​joining the puppet government. But first Let someone arrest him, and then be 'forced'. In a word, I am just covering up." Yu Jin leaned on the armchair, and Bai Yunshang's words made her very uneasy: "It turns out that he himself is going to be a traitor! Then there is What way? Morality and money can't be held back, so I have to help him and let him walk the path of his own choice!" "What about China's national interests?" Bai Yunshang asked sharply.

"This person, without money and power, what use is there? What harm will it do to the interests of the country?" Bai Yunshang took out a pack of cigarettes from her small purse, and handed one to Yu Jin, who said no , In fact, she really wanted to smoke a cigarette at this moment, to calm down.But she didn't want to do the same thing as this surnamed Bai.She gave a good reason: "We are professional actors, the throat is important." Bai Yunshang took a puff from the fire, she crossed her legs in a very coquettish posture, and raised her face slightly, "Sister," she said in the tone of calling her sister At that time, it seemed that it had nothing to do with Ni Zeren, it was no longer disgusting that the concubine recognized her as his wife, but really recognized Yu Jin as her sister. "Sister, you are such an amazing person. I am a member of the military commander, so you are not surprised at all." Yu Jin walked to the kitchen and said, "Is it surprising? Ni Zeren served as a military commander on an isolated island for four years. Could it be that the person sleeping is Juntong?" She took a porcelain ashtray and handed it to Bai Yunshang.

"So, you never believed me?" "I believe you!" Yu Jin sat down and said sincerely. "I just thought that you would admit this to me sooner or later. When you tell me the truth, we will be closer." "You are such a cheerful person." Bai Yunshang said sincerely, lit some cigarette ash in the In a porcelain jar. "Military or not, it has nothing to do with me." Yu Jin said, "I don't know if Ni Zeren told you that I left him, or he left me because he wanted me to join the military, and I don't want to get involved in politics. "Bai Yunshang was a little surprised, unexpectedly, Yu Jin would also tell her something from his heart.Ni Zeren never told her the real reason for their quarrel.He always only said that Yu Jin was a fake and high-minded "cultural person", but in fact he was just an actor who had read a little English, not even a full one.

Yu Jin blocked the politics at once, Bai Yunshang's original playbook could not continue, so she had to take a step back: "Then you are at least patriotic?" "Now I dare not get involved in politics. It's still dangerous after that." "That's good," Bai Yunshang said flatly, "You don't need to do anything." This conversation can be over.Yu Jin noticed that the red ferns on the tea table were wilting. She picked up a petal, and Yu Jin covered it with her hand and yawned. This eviction order should be very obvious, but Bai Yunshang didn't leave, not only did she not leave, but she said it fiercely: "Please cooperate. Don't worry about anything else!" "I don't understand this." Yu Jin stood up: " How to cooperate? What do you want to say, please say it directly." "Tomorrow, when the time comes, just get out of the way!" Bai Yunshang also stood up. Yu Jin still didn't want to guess what Bai Yunshang wanted to do in one step: "When is it?" "You are so smart, why do you need me to explain." Bai Yunshang became a little impatient with this scene: "Since you can't save him, you can't save him." If you don’t want to save him, you should find a way to save yourself. You are my sister, and I really like you. So, please listen to me.” Yu Jin thought for a while, then approached her, moved with tears in her eyes, and called "Sister Yunshang." She put her right hand on Bai Yunshang's right shoulder.Bai Yunshang reached out and held her hand. Suddenly, Yu Jin's face turned pale, as if she had realized immediately: "You are going to kill him!" She threw Bai Yunshang's hand violently. Yu Jin's complexion changed drastically like this, his heart skipped a beat, as if he suddenly woke up from a misunderstanding, which made Bai Yunshang very embarrassed. Bai Yunshang had no choice but to stand up, and said calmly: "In the face of national crisis, the situation is getting tighter by the day. We cannot tolerate people like Ni Zeren openly surrendering to the enemy. Eliminating rape is our sacred patriotic mission. Every military commander has a duty. I am heartbroken, and I can only kill relatives righteously." "Yu Jin didn't expect her patriotic drama lines to be so sincere, it could be seen that Bai Yunshang didn't have no feelings for Ni Zeren.Bai Yunshang held Yu Jin's hand, sat on the sofa, shook her head, her voice was almost choked up: "Really, what kind of world is this, you can't help yourself!" Yu Jin also became much calmer, and asked puzzledly: " Then why do you want me to pick him up?" "If you don't pick him up, the Japanese won't let him go, they still want to look good." "I mean, why do you want me to pick him up?" Yu Jin said sharply , turned his body sideways, "Want me to lead him into the murder scene? I can't do this, I still have the status of husband and wife with him!" Yu Jin thought sadly of Ni Zeren's end, even though he had a bad relationship with him when he left him that year. It was expected, but the premeditated murder is scheduled for tomorrow, which is too cruel.She found her hands were shaking. Bai Yunshang has been observing Yu Jin. At this critical moment, it can be seen that Yu Jin is soft-hearted and kind. No wonder Ni Zeren sneered at the mention of Yu Jin, saying that this woman seems to be very smart in acting on stage, but in fact she has no decisiveness, and everything is up to him.It was precisely Yu Jin's inner weakness that could not be concealed that made Bai Yunshang fall in love with Yu Jin. She leaned on Yu Jin, hugged her shoulders, and said softly, "Sister, you are a superstar, a top news figure, and you are from Chongqing. The command of the military command, I must ask you to help, make this matter bigger, let the whole Shanghai and the whole of China know, this is a warning to those who defect to the enemy. They are worried that if the situation changes, the military command personnel in Shanghai will lose the protection of the concession and will not be able to support them. She pulled over Jin and looked into Yu Jin's eyes, "In the end, you don't love him, and I don't love him either; you hate him, but I hate him even more. Although we have had feelings for him before, we can't Deny this. However, our country and society will perish, and our descendants of Yan and Huang will all become subjugated slaves." Yu Jin bowed her head in silence, listened attentively, and sighed heavily, looking very embarrassed. "As long as you leave Shanghai, go to the mainland, and see how the people suffer from the Japanese devils; when you go to the enemy-occupied area and see the brutality of the Japanese army, you will not be unable to make up your mind." Bai Yunshang can say so many patriotic big words , it's really amazing.Yu Jin frowned and said, "We artists are not cold-blooded animals either. But as I said just now, Ni Zeren was my husband after all. If you want me to participate in the murder of him, I can't do it. You can assassinate him on any other occasion. I won't warn him. It's up to you to decide what punishment he deserves." Bai Yunshang stood up and looked disappointedly at the mirror in the aisle. "I definitely won't tell him, can't I?" Yu Jin said. Bai Yunshang walked to the mirror, and tucked a lock of hair that hung in front of her head behind her head.Turning her head, she said to Jin, "Your kindness is also a person's conscience. But—but, what if I pay the price?" Yu Jin's heart tightened, it's wonderful, it's wonderful!She has been waiting for this step.The plan Hubert mentioned was extremely difficult, and the schedule was too tight to be possible. She had been thinking hard on this issue.She got up and went to the window.Could it be that the opportunity really came to allow her to complete it in time? !But she still had to pretend to be stupid: "Money is of course good, and gold is of course better in troubled times, but sister, what is the use of money at the moment of life and death?" Bai Yunshang smiled, smiling reluctantly: "I know what my sister wants." It's not money." She walked to Yu Jin's side, watched as Yu Jin opened the nearest window, Bai Yunshang approached her, and stretched out her hand into the drizzle.He stretched out his hand, wet with raindrops, as if he was also thinking about how to make this important move safe.For a while, only the rustling of rain outside the window was heard.
