Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 136: A Power That Even Spears and Cannons Cannot Penetrate

In the evening, in order to show his sincerity, Bo Song specially booked a seat at a Western restaurant in the concession to invite Nanchun and Bo Xun to dinner.

When they got in the car, Nanchun was afraid that there would be another pile of grass, so he asked, "What are we going to eat later?"

"Western food." Bo Song said.

When Nanchun heard this, her face wrinkled up. "Why don't you give me the money for dinner? I can find a place to eat by myself."

Seeing this, Bo Song smiled and said, "Don't worry! You will definitely like it. There is no grass that you don't like. It's all meat, and there are desserts."

"Really?" Nanchun nudged Baixun with her elbow.

"Yes, really." Bai Xun replied.

"Hey, you don't believe what I say at all? Do you need Bai Xun to tell you?" Bai Song complained.

"Bai Xun wouldn't lie to me." Nan Chun blurted out.

Suddenly the car became quiet, a very strange silence.

Bo Song touched his nose awkwardly and turned to look at the scenery outside the window.

Bai Xun pursed his lips and looked ahead.

In fact, Nanchun regretted it after saying that.

Bai Xun kept the matter of his grandfather and the trip to Xinchuanling a secret from him.

And he also had something to hide from Bo Xun.

"Hey, Zhou's Bank?" Nanchun looked at a roadside shop in surprise. "Is this Zhou's Bank the same as the Zhou family in Jincheng?"

"Yes, do you know the Zhou family?" Bai Song asked, turning around.

Nanchun shook his head and said, "Not really an acquaintance."

He remembered that he had met Jiang Wenjie in the theater in Jincheng before, and said, "Oh, I met Jiang Wenjie in Jincheng."

"Jiang Wenjie?" Bai Xun frowned slightly.

"Yeah, isn't it said that President Jiang is now having a hot affair with the eldest and second masters of the Sheng family? Why would Jiang Wenjie appear openly and without any concealment on the fourth master's territory?" Nan Chun asked doubtfully.

"Did he go to see the Fourth Master?" Bai Song asked.

Nanchun shook his head and said, "I don't know. He was meeting with the head of the Zhou family at the time. I happened to be sitting in the box diagonally across from them in the theater.

I found it strange, so I asked Mr. Chunxiao's maid who the old man was who met Jiang Wenjie. She said he was the head of the Zhou family, who ran a bank and pawnshop.

"Look across the road." Bo Song said, pointing across.

Nanchun stretched her head to look and saw a huge golden sign hanging on the shop across the road: Sheng’s Money House.

The two money houses were facing each other, with banners and signs hanging at the doors, like a boxing ring.

"Are these two families rivals?" Nanchun asked.

"That's right. The Zhou family has come this far thanks to the support of Fourth Master Sheng." Bai Song said.

"That's even more strange! Even if the Jiang family doesn't want to put all their hopes on the shoulders of the Sheng family's eldest and second masters, they can't cooperate with their rivals so openly, right? Could it be that the Sheng family's eldest and second masters don't know about it? That's impossible. I see that Jiang Wenjie didn't hide anything at all." Nan Chun asked doubtfully.

"Before cooperating with the Sheng family, the Jiang family had already cooperated with the Zhou Bank for more than ten years. Jiang Yuanhai is the president of the Chamber of Commerce, and the merchants in An County all trust him. He decided to cooperate with the Zhou Bank, and many people followed suit." Bai Song said.

"Oh, that's complicated. However, I saw that Jiang Wenjie was having a very pleasant conversation with the head of the Zhou family. It doesn't look like he wants to break up and stop cooperating with the Zhou family." Nan Chun said.

"The cooperation cannot be terminated in a short period of time, but the Sheng brothers are fighting among themselves, so it is really difficult for us businessmen who have cooperated with them. We have to consider whether we will displease some big Buddha when doing anything." Bo Song sighed.

"Alas, when gods fight, mortals suffer."

"Yes."

Bai Xun looked at the sign of "Zhou's Bank" outside the car window thoughtfully.

Even if there was cooperation, it was still unreasonable for Jiang Wenjie to blatantly go to Jincheng to meet the head of the Zhou family at this sensitive time.

The eldest and second uncles of the Sheng family did not respond, and the fourth uncle of the Sheng family did not make any new moves.

Could it be that they all want to take advantage of the conflict between the two and only the fisherman can gain?

It seems that there will be unusual movements in He'an, Jincheng and Yangcheng.

The car arrived at a checkpoint and two men in uniforms holding guns came over. Xu Fei took out his ID and handed it over.

"Hi, Lucas!" Bosong greeted the foreigner not far from the car window.

"Mr. Bai, long time no see." The foreigner walked over.

Bo Song handed him a box of cigars and said with a smile, "I went out of town and just came back."

"Your shop will be ready soon."

Bo Song smiled and said, "Thank you very much for your help. I'll treat you to a drink in a couple of days."

"it is good."

The foreigner glanced into the car and waved at him.

After the car drove away, Nanchun asked in confusion, "What is this place? Why do I need to show my ID to come in?"

"This is the concession, the territory of foreigners," said Bo Song.

Nan Chun asked in confusion, "Foreigners' territory? What do you mean? Shouldn't foreigners' territory be in their own country?"

"Lease. The foreigners signed an agreement with us to lease this land." Bo Song explained.

"Oh, renting. Then they have to pay rent, right? How much is it?" Nanchun asked.

Bo Song sighed and said, "On the contrary, they don't have to pay rent, but we would have to pay a lot of rent if we wanted to move in. I'm planning to move my business here, and I've put a lot of effort into it, but I haven't made the arrangements yet. We finally bought the house we're going to live in after spending a lot of money. I'll bring you over to see it later."

Nanchun was shocked when he heard this. "How can this be true? They...they occupy our space and don't have to pay rent, but we have to pay them rent? This...this is robbery, right?"

Bo Song shrugged and said with a smile, "They are just robbers, but you can't do anything to them. Just imagine, if you have many treasures in your hands, but you are too weak, how can you protect them?"

"But this... is too shameless! What are those people thinking? How can they sign such an agreement with foreigners?" Nan Chun frowned, his chest heaving violently.

"It's not just this one place; they've taken over many other places. Getting angry is pointless. We have no weapons, no money, and many people are struggling to get enough to eat.

"How can we fight against the might of the guns and cannons? There's nothing we can do except hand over our treasures and save our own lives." Bo Song sighed.

Nan Chun seemed to be frozen in place by an invisible force.

His eyes widened, a glint of disbelief gleaming in his pupils. His mouth parted slightly, but no sound emanated, allowing the indescribable emotion to cascade freely within his chest.

Is there no justice in the world?

The land under our feet is clearly here and cannot be moved.

But it's still gone.

It is in front of me, under my feet, but it is no longer my own.

He suddenly remembered "Family Letters".

It's written in that book.

Those who died without hesitation to protect the land beneath their feet...

He really wanted to ask Zhongliang, what is the power that cannot be penetrated by spears and cannons?

Does such a power really exist?
