OBS Chapter 120 Shen Mansion 1
Chapter 120 Shen Mansion 1
The oriental metropolis of Shanghai has been swept by the torrent of history, showing an unprecedented coexistence of tenacity and prosperity.
As one of the largest cities in China, Shanghai is not only an intersection of economy and culture, but also a stage for the struggle among various forces.
At that time, Shanghai was divided into different areas, the most well-known of which was the Concession Area, which brought together people from all over the world, forming a unique multicultural atmosphere.
Tang Xiaoxiao had been on a long journey, and she stretched herself exhausted and tidied up her appearance. When the number of passengers in the station gradually decreased, she picked up her bag and slowly walked towards the exit.
Today's outfit is particularly eye-catching. Tang Xiaoxiao wears a Hu Meimei mask, a bright red dress, and red leather shoes, looking particularly energetic.
Her hair was cleverly tied into two flower buds, and was embellished with two small red bells, which swayed gently with her steps, making crisp and pleasant sounds.
As soon as she got off the train, Tang Xiaoxiao saw several Japanese soldiers with guns checking passengers' luggage one by one. Their attitude seemed a bit bad.
"Hey, your bag!" A Japanese soldier shouted in stiff Chinese. He waved at Tang Xiaoxiao, "Come here and open your box."
Tang Xiaoxiao cooperated naturally. She walked forward slowly and put the suitcase on the ground. With a "bang", she gently opened the suitcase. The suitcase was not big, and there were only a few simple clothes in it, neatly stacked together.
"Is that all?" The Japanese soldier looked at Tang Xiaoxiao with suspicion.
"Yes." Tang Xiaoxiao nodded, her eyes calm and firm.
"Open it and take a look." the Japanese soldier ordered, with a hint of unquestionable majesty in his tone.
Tang Xiaoxiao didn't say much, but just gently unfolded each piece of clothing and showed it to the soldiers. She carefully spread out each piece of clothing and then folded it back carefully. The whole process seemed very calm.
"Is there anything else?" The Japanese soldier seemed dissatisfied and asked again.
"Nothing else, just these." Tang Xiaoxiao replied, her voice calm and firm.
"Is there really nothing else?" There was a hint of threat in the Japanese soldier's voice.
"Really, there's nothing left." Tang Xiaoxiao repeated, her eyes firm but polite.
The Japanese soldier was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something. In the end, he just snorted coldly, indicating that Tang Xiaoxiao could leave.
For safety reasons, she never carried conspicuous weapons, but cleverly hid them in places where they were not easily noticed. For example, the small bell on her head was not only an ornament, but also a hidden weapon; the flower buds in her hair, the bracelets in her shoes and on her wrists were all hidden devices she carefully arranged.
As she walked out of the platform, Tang Xiaoxiao noticed a man in a neat white suit. He was standing at the exit in a dashing manner, with his hat tilted on his head and the brim pulled down so low that it almost covered half of his face, making him look a little sloppy.
He was holding a sign with the words "Welcome Miss Shen" written on it. Tang Xiaoxiao thought that this should be the person sent by the organization to pick her up.
This time she was given a brand new identity, she became the niece of Shen Tengsheng, the chairman of the Shanghai Maintenance Association.
This setting is not only a reconstruction of her background, but also an important cover for her subsequent actions.
As the chairman of the maintenance association, Shen Tengsheng played a role that seemed to be unrelated to politics in the public eye, but in fact, he secretly held a key position in the Shanghai underground party.
In this complex historical context, he used his superficial identity as a cover to secretly support and participate in a series of important secret activities.
She walked forward with a smile and said, "Hello, I'm Shen Jinshu."
Hearing this, Shen Jinlan smiled friendly and patted Tang Xiaoxiao's head. "Hello, Xiao Jinshu, I'm your cousin Shen Jinlan."
Hearing Shen Jinlan's words, Tang Xiaoxiao smiled sweetly and called softly, "Cousin."
Shen Jinlan's smile became even brighter.
He has always dreamed of having a younger sister, and now this wish has finally come true, and it is such a lovely and gentle sister.
He was extremely excited, as if the whole world had become a better place.
"Xiao Jinshu, you've worked hard on this journey." Shen Jinlan asked with concern, "How is it? Did everything go smoothly on the road?"
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded slightly and replied gently: "Fortunately, everything went well. Thanks to you, cousin, for coming to pick me up, otherwise I really don't know how to find you."
Shen Jinlan smiled and patted Tang Xiaoxiao's shoulder gently. "Don't worry, Xiao Jinshu, I'm here for everything. Let's go back quickly, everyone in the family is waiting to see you."
The two walked out of the station side by side, and Shen Jinlan introduced the surrounding environment to Tang Xiaoxiao as they walked.
After leaving the station, Shen Jinlan brought Tang Xiaoxiao to a car parked nearby. "Xiao Jinshu, get in the car. Let's go home."
Tang Xiaoxiao nodded and got into the car with Shen Jinlan.
The car was warm and comfortable. Shen Jinlan carefully adjusted the seat for her to ensure that she could sit comfortably.
Along the way, Shen Jinlan kept telling Tang Xiaoxiao the story of her family and the latest situation in Shanghai, giving her a preliminary understanding of the city.
The car drove smoothly and soon arrived at the Shen Mansion.
Shen Jinlan got out of the car first, and then enthusiastically welcomed Tang Xiaoxiao down.
"Xiao Jinshu, this is our home." Shen Jinlan's voice was full of pride. "Welcome home."
Tang Xiaoxiao got out of the car lightly, her eyes swept across the magnificent building in front of her, and she couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
The Shen Mansion is a typical Shanghai-style building that combines traditional Chinese elements with modern Western style, making it particularly magnificent.
"Cousin, this place is really beautiful." Tang Xiaoxiao exclaimed sincerely.
Shen Jinlan's face was filled with a proud smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Xiao Jinshu. Come in quickly, everyone is waiting to see you."
As he spoke, he gently pushed open the door and led Tang Xiaoxiao into the mansion.
As you step into the lobby of the mansion, a warm and solemn atmosphere hits you.
As she stepped into the lobby of the mansion, Tang Xiaoxiao immediately felt a strong family atmosphere.
The hall is decorated in an elegant and warm style. Several famous paintings hang on the walls, showing the artistic taste of the owner. In the center stands an exquisite mahogany round table, surrounded by matching carved chairs. Every piece of furniture reveals the traces of time and exquisite craftsmanship.
