CP is forcing me to have a wife, and the male protagonist asked me who he is

Chapter 430: Secrets in the Gentle Country, Unexpected Gunshots, First Encounter (Plot Chapter)

What kind of place is Liang Mansion?

It was a famous den of luxury and decadence in Shanghai, a good place for the upper class to have fun, and a must-go place for outsiders to enter Shanghai's high-end circles.

But if you think there are only beautiful scenery, delicious food, and beautiful women there, and you let your guard down and dive right in, then you'll be in big trouble.

The camera now turns to a lively dance hall.

Fashionably dressed men and women are dancing.

The woman in the center of the dance floor, wearing a pomegranate red dress with her skirt fluttering, looked like a butterfly dancing among the greenery, attracting the attention of the entire audience.

If it’s not the Liang Ning, the famous eldest daughter of the Liang family, then who else could it be?

After the dance, Liang Ning smiled gently at his dance partner, then turned and walked out.

Immediately, several men came over and talked to her attentively.

"Ms. Liang, you dance so well..."

"Ms. Liang, I am a director of the Chinachem Hotel. I hope to have the opportunity to meet you..."

"Ms. Liang, would you be so kind as to dance with me next time..."

Liang Ning skillfully declined the advances of a number of admirers, smiled and nodded to the familiar faces around him, and walked briskly out of the dance floor.

At this time, a girl dressed as a maid ran over, came up to her and whispered something.

Liang Ning's expression remained unchanged and he was still smiling.

His feet naturally turned and walked towards the living room.

Mrs. Liang was playing mahjong with several wives of high-ranking officials at the mahjong table.

Liang Ning walked up to her with a smile, saying that he wanted to have a private word with his mother. Then he acted like a spoiled child and dragged Mrs. Liang out of the living room with him.

Mrs. Liang smiled dotingly, as if she couldn't do anything to her daughter. She followed Liang Ning to a secluded corner, and the smile on her face disappeared instantly.

"What's the matter? Can't you see I'm with Director Zheng's wife?"

Liang Ning immediately put away his coquettish expression and replied respectfully in a low voice.

"Manager Xia is dead. He was shot in the back and thrown from the Sassoon Building."

"died?"

Mrs. Liang frowned and thought for a moment.

"The Japanese were already facing a bleak situation on the front line, and now something like this has happened in the rear... It seems that the situation in Shanghai will become uneasy again during this period of time."

She reached out and pulled an inconspicuous summoning bell beside her, calling over an ordinary-looking cleaning lady and whispered a few instructions to her.

Just as he turned around and was about to leave, he looked back at Liang Ning, his expression softened slightly, and he stopped again.

"You should be careful yourself lately."

Faced with Mrs. Liang's concern, Liang Ning was obviously flattered and nodded quickly.

"Okay, I understand, Mom. I'll be careful..."

Before she finished speaking, Mrs. Liang suddenly remembered something. Her originally calm expression suddenly became anxious, and she walked out shouting repeatedly.

"Oh, and Zhenzhen... Mother He! Mother He! Have you seen the second young lady come back from school?"

Looking at his mother's hurried back, a trace of disappointment flashed across Liang Ning's face.

……

The camera turned and the scene switched from Liang Mansion to the street.

The second young lady Liang Zhen, who was missed by her mother and sister, finally appeared.

I saw two girls, about 2 or 16 years old, wearing schoolgirl uniforms of the Republic of China, walking forward arm in arm, talking and laughing.

It was Liang Zhen, the second daughter of the Liang family, and her good friend Xiao Juan.

The school anniversary was coming up in a few weeks, and both of them would be performing on stage, so they had to stay after school every day to rehearse.

Today they finally found an excuse to skip the rehearsal and slipped out early.

"You don't know, my mother is very strict with me!"

Liang Zhen, with her short hair, has a face full of joy of freedom.

"She said the world is not peaceful now, so she asked the driver to pick me up on time every day and never allowed me to run around. I was so bored~"

Xiaojuan smiled and pushed her.

"Miss, isn't it good to have a driver? You really don't know how to appreciate your blessings~"

"If you say that, I will just go back to school. Then there will be no one to accompany you to the department store..."

Liang Zhen rolled his eyes and grasped his good friend's vital point.

Xiaojuan surrendered immediately as expected.

"Hey! I was just kidding! I know a shortcut. Let's hurry up and finish shopping and send you home. Maybe we can catch up with your driver..."

The two girls giggled as they walked through the alley and turned onto a road they had never walked on before.

However, they did not notice that there were more and more people around them, and they even passed by a group of young faces waving small flags and shouting slogans.

Until Xiaojuan suddenly exclaimed.

“It seems like there’s a parade ahead!”

"Is it true? I always hear people talking about it, but I've never seen it with my own eyes~"

Liang Zhen couldn't help but look around curiously.

"Xiaojuan, let's go see the fun?"

The two people smiled at each other, then quietly followed the parade, chatting as they walked.

After walking for a while, I felt a little bored.

As a result, when I turned a corner, I suddenly ran into a lot of people in military and police uniforms, a large group of them, ready for battle.

There was a tense standoff between the two sides.

There seemed to be people who looked like students in the front row of the parade negotiating with the military and police.

Unfortunately, Liang Zhen was far away, and no matter how hard she held her breath and concentrated, she couldn't hear anything clearly.

After waiting for a while, I felt bored.

"What are they talking about? I can't hear a word. It's boring! Xiaojuan, let's go back..."

She pulled Xiaojuan and was about to turn around and leave the parade.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a loud explosion sounded in my ears.

At that moment, Liang Zhen didn't react at all.

I just felt a loud scream suddenly erupt from the crowd around me, and everyone started pushing and shoving each other and running backwards.

Liang Zhen was forced to let go of Xiaojuan's hand.

Even she herself was involuntarily pushed forward by the crowd.

She tried to turn her head back to see what was going on.

But he saw a young girl who had walked beside him and talked to Xiaojuan before, running with big strides, and suddenly a large amount of blood spurted out of her chest.

Then his body paused, and he fell forward with a plop.

Then, many pairs of feet stepped on her mercilessly, quickly submerging her figure.

Liang Zhen only felt his face getting hot, and a strong smell of blood came to his nose.

As soon as he touched it, his hands were immediately covered with bright red blood.

Only then did she realize...

Did someone just fire a gun?

This girl who was full of energy a minute ago... was beaten to death?

"Zhenzhen, go quickly!"

At this time, Xiaojuan rushed over from the side, pulled the stunned Liang Zhen and ran away.

Unfortunately, they didn't run far before the crowd pushed and shoved them apart again.

……

Liang Zhen was walking on the street in a daze.

She didn't know how long she had been running along with the crowd, nor did she know where she was going.

All I knew was that when I came to my senses, I was completely alone, with no one around me.

She stopped and squatted down at the entrance of an alley to rest, her mind still replaying the scene she had just witnessed.

His eyes, originally as clear as those of a deer, now contained a lot of shock and confusion.

At this moment, a vulgar voice suddenly came from above her head.

"Hey, boss, look, there is a little beauty here who is alone!"

Liang Zhen looked up.

I saw three guys who looked like gangsters surrounding me with lewd smiles on their faces.

Liang Zhen stood up and tried to escape, but was surrounded by the three thugs.

"My little beauty, where do you want to go? Why don't you come and accompany me, your brother? We will definitely not treat you unfairly..."

The gangsters were talking obscene words and their footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Seeing that the hand of the leader was about to touch Liang Zhen's face.

Her eyes narrowed, a trace of determination flashed across her face, she slapped the gangster's hand away, turned around and ran into the alley.

The leading gangster immediately flew into a rage.

"You little bitch, you still want to run? You two catch up with me!"

"Don't worry, boss, she can't run away!"

The other two gangsters raised their legs and chased after him.

In the long and narrow alley, Liang Zhen stumbled and ran in front, while the gangsters chased after him, shouting and yelling.

She only heard the person behind her getting closer and closer, and his shouting became more and more proud and arrogant.

I ran slower and slower, my legs became weaker and weaker, and a look of despair welled up on my face.

Just then, a person suddenly appeared from the corner ahead.

Liang Zhen didn't brake in time and bumped hard into the other person's arms.

I looked up and was suddenly stunned.

Even in such an emergency situation, she couldn't help but feel her girlish heart move suddenly.

In front of me was a young man in a black police uniform.

Logically speaking, he had just encountered a group of military police shooting at a parade, so he should be very scared of people wearing this uniform.

But before Liang Zhen had time to notice that trace of resistance, she was stunned by the face of the man in front of her.
