The straight-line distance is no more than a hundred meters.
There is a double-storey garden-style house.
French arc volume arch doorway, supplemented by Roman column carvings, a spacious open-air balcony, a green manicured lawn, like a carpet, surrounded by unique wrought iron fences.
There is a bronze plaque nailed on the gate: No. 84, Binshan Road.
This mansion is the home of Bai Peicen, director of the Binjiang Police Department.
Bai Peicen studied abroad in Japan in his early years. After returning to China, he first served in the Senate Office and was later recommended by Prime Minister Zheng Xiaoxu to serve as the director of the Binjiang Police Department.
Putting aside everything else, in terms of official career, this person can be said to have had smooth sailing.
Basically I have never encountered any setbacks.
…
"Miss, my wife said it's almost time and wants you to go downstairs early..."
"Yeah, I got it."
"My wife said, let you wear that white skirt."
"Why?"
"My wife said that the last time you wore that dress, Director Yu praised it and said it was as beautiful as an angel."
“…”
"My wife also said..."
"Okay, okay, I understand, you can go out first."
"yes."
Maid Xiaocui retreated.
The young lady looked in the dressing mirror and looked glumly.
After a while, the door opened and a round-faced girl stepped in.
The young lady didn't even look back and said angrily: "Stop urging me, it's annoying!"
The round-faced girl said: "Miss Bai, today is a good day for you, where does your trouble come from?"
Miss Bai, Bai Peicen's only daughter, Bai Xue, stood up and said, "Jingshu, it's you, I thought it was Xiaocui..."
If Qi Yue were present, he would definitely be surprised.
This Miss Bai is the girl who accidentally fell into the water yesterday and was rescued by him.
Jingshu is another one.
"What a good day, I don't think."
Bai Xue fiddled with the hairpin in her hand.
Jingshu said: "You, you are so blessed! If my 20th birthday could be so grand, I would be so happy!"
Bai Xue sighed: "Jingshu, you don't understand."
Jingshu asked: "Why don't I understand?"
Bai Xue said: "Life to me is just a dream, and in this dream, I can't help myself, drifting with the tide. It looks like a bunch of flowers, but in fact I have no freedom at all. If I were allowed to choose, I would rather be born in an ordinary family.
, do what you like.”
Jing Shu clicked her tongue and said, "Look at you, you are so sentimental. You should be like Lin Huiyin."
Bai Xue was leisurely fascinated: "How can one learn Lin Huiyin's style? I only hope that I can be half as satisfied as she is."
"Half? The other half, right? Hehe."
“…”
"Lin Huiyin's significant other is Liang Sicheng. Where is Miss Bai's Liang Sicheng?"
Bai Xue murmured: "He must be waiting to meet me some morning or evening..."
Jing Shu widened her eyes exaggeratedly: "Early morning or evening, there's such a big gap. I don't know about early morning. I haven't experienced it. I'm talking about evening... You're not the one who still wants to save you, right?"
"
Bai Xue pretended to be angry and said: "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm not that naive. I just think that if someone saved me, I should at least thank him in person..."
"You even said no, your face turned red, hehe."
"I'm not blushing, it's because the weather is too hot."
"The more you explain, the more it shows that there is something wrong in your heart!"
"What the hell! Oh, by the way, don't talk nonsense about what happened yesterday. If my father finds out, he will never let me go out alone again."
"Don't worry, I won't tell you. If I tell you, my mother will definitely have a heart attack... Xue'er, look, look, Director Yu is here too!"
Jingshu leaned on the window and looked out.
Outside the courtyard gate, there was a row of various cars parked.
There was an endless stream of well-dressed guests.
One of the young men had a dignified appearance, wearing a suit and leather shoes, and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked particularly elegant.
His name is Yu Jincheng, he is the director of the Binjiang Security Bureau Affairs Department and a first-class police sergeant.
The Security Bureau of the Puppet Manchukuo formed its own system and was directly under the control of the Kwantung Army Staff Headquarters. It suppressed anti-Manchu anti-Japanese forces internally and spied on enemy intelligence externally.
"Come just come, no fuss..."
Bai Xue changed into a student uniform.
Jing Shu said: "What's all the fuss about? How many 26-year-old police sergeants have you seen?"
Bai Xue said calmly: "I haven't seen any of them, so what? It has nothing to do with me."
Jing Shu rolled her eyes and said with a mysterious expression: "Do you still remember, the last time Yu Jincheng came to your home as a guest, the way he looked at you..."
Mrs. Bai pushed open the door and entered in a hurry.
"Hello, aunt."
Jingshu greeted respectfully.
Mrs. Bai smiled and said, "Jingshu is here."
Bai Xue frowned: "Don't knock on the door every time!"
"When I enter my daughter's room, I knock on the door."
Mrs. Bai said nonchalantly.
Bai Xue said helplessly: "Jingshu, you see, in this family, I don't even have the most basic human rights, let alone freedom."
Mrs. Bai choked and said: "What are human rights and what is freedom? It's all useless. If I had known this, I shouldn't have sent you to study in Japan in the first place!"
Jingshu quickly changed the topic: "Auntie, your clothes are so beautiful."
Mrs. Bai said happily: "You think it looks good too? Let me just say, the clothes made by foreign tailors are just different...Xue'er, why are you wearing this?"
"What's wrong? Is it bad?"
Bai Xue replied casually.
Mrs. Bai said: "Change quickly! Change into that white dress!"
Bai Xue said: "That set of clothes is dirty and hasn't been washed yet."
"You can't wear a uniform. Today is your 20th birthday. You have to dress up nicely. Xue'er, you damn good girl, be obedient and change quickly."
Mrs. Bai begged softly.
Bai Xue had no choice but to say: "I'll change it, why don't I change it?"
Mrs. Bai said: "Hurry up, the guests are almost here. Oh, Director Yu is also here. He was talking to me just now. Director Yu is so nice. He gave me a gift of more than one foot high."
Jade Guanyin, tsk tsk, he is offering you as Guanyin."
Bai Xue sighed: "I want to change clothes, can you go out first?"
"Okay, okay, as long as you are happy, anything is fine."
Mrs. Bai went out happily.
Jing Shu recalled: "Jade Guanyin... I seemed to see it when I went upstairs, but it was nothing. It was just ordinary and not worth a lot of money."
Bai Xue said: "This has nothing to do with price, I'm not interested."
Jingshu smiled and said, "It's mainly about my heart."
"Not even interested."
Bai Xue said to herself in the mirror.
In fact, there is nothing surprising about Jade Guanyin.
The packaging box made of pure gold is the key point.
In order to hide it from others, the packaging box was wrapped with brocade inside and outside. Outsiders could not see the material and thought it was just an ordinary jade ornament.
