Chapter 197 First Meeting with Tang Caiying
Chen Yan rushed out of the Paramount and returned to Li San's rented house. Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the house, he found Rudy and a woman sitting in the house.
The current situation is special. It is a big taboo to bring people here without Chen Yan's permission.
Chen Yan looked displeased and stared at the woman in front of him.
The woman's makeup is delicate but not strong. She exudes a light and elegant temperament, which makes her look very noble. She is wearing a leather jacket, Ferregamo high heels and LV handbag, which is very fashionable.
At first glance, this person has a rich family background and comes from a famous family. Moreover, his aura is so strong that Li San is almost breathless. He is definitely not an ordinary person.
Chen Yan looked at Rudy who was sitting on the chair beside him. He was sitting upright with his hands on his knees. He didn't dare to look directly at the woman. He kept blinking at Chen Yan, like a well-behaved and cute little mouse.
He doesn't look like the kind of guy who would rather lie down than sit on weekdays.
Rudy raised his body slightly and was about to say something when Chen Yan waved his hand to interrupt him.
He walked straight up to the woman, bent over, and took out a cigarette:
"Sister, you are here, would you like a cigarette?"
The woman was wearing sunglasses, so the expression in her eyes could not be seen, but her lips moved slightly.
"Thank you," the woman took the cigarette. Chen Yan quickly lit it and smoked one too.
Li Yunlong and Li San, who were standing aside, were dumbfounded. This was the first time they had seen anyone, other than the big brothers in the family, who could get Chen Yan to light a cigarette.
"Lao Li, San'er, we have guests at home, please sit down."
Then Chen Yan turned to look at the woman, "Hello, sister, it is my honor to have you here.
Let me introduce myself, my name is Chen Yan, and I am the commander of the Eighth Route Army Independent Column."
Chen Yan was polite and introduced himself generously.
Not only Li Yunlong and Li San were stunned, even the woman couldn't help but be stunned.
Everyone knew that it was too dangerous to reveal one's identity right away, and only Chen Yan would do that.
The woman was stunned for a few seconds, then gently took off her sunglasses and extended her hand politely.
"Commander Chen is young and promising."
Chen Yan shook hands with the woman politely and said, "Nice to meet you, sister."
It took a long time for the woman to start speaking after entering the room, but she was full of arrogance.
She looked at Chen Yan curiously, "Commander Chen guessed who I was as soon as he entered the room?"
“I am not a talented person, but I have a close relationship with Rudy and we can talk about anything.
Rudy once told me about his family background.
The eldest sister is very graceful and charming. Although I have never seen her before, it is impossible for there to be another socialite like Nan Tang in the whole of Shanghai."
That’s right, the woman in front of him is Rudy’s elder sister, Shanghai socialite Tang Caiying.
Rudy would definitely not bring outsiders here easily. Today, Chen Yan asked him to go out and seek connections. He guessed that Rudy must be going to ask his eldest sister for help.
Tang Caiying listened to Chen Yan's compliment. Although there was no expression on her face, she was very satisfied in her heart.
"It seems that you and Xiaodi have a very close relationship, and it is also thanks to Commander Chen's care over the years."
Chen Yan looked at Rudy with a smile: "Sister, you're welcome. Rudy and I are good brothers, hahaha..."
Rudy listened to Chen Yan's words with a gloomy face. Thinking of the interrogation of his life experience in the field hospital, he felt powerless to complain.
Why are men so hypocritical?
Seeing that the woman was almost done with her cigarette, Chen Yan obediently picked up the ashtray and placed it in front of her. The woman still put out the cigarette with a cold look on her face.
“Commander Chen, this brat got into trouble a few years ago and ran away, but no one would have thought that he would go to Shanxi to join the Eighth Route Army.
I'm not saying that the Eighth Route Army is bad, but you know, for a family like ours, it's really a little inappropriate."
Chen Yan knew what Tang Caiying meant. The purpose of the Eighth Route Army was communism, and the Tang family was a real capitalist. Everything else was easy to deal with, but if the Kuomintang knew about this, they would be in big trouble.
He rolled his eyes and said tactfully:
"Sister, now is the period of cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party. Our biggest enemy is the Japanese. We should put aside party disputes."
“Commander Chen is a wise man. Our Tang family is not interested in politics right now. We just want to live a peaceful and stable life.
This time you asked Rudy to come to me, which means I understand and you want me for help.
It's okay for me to help. After all, you two are good brothers. As the eldest sister, it would be unreasonable for me not to help.
However, my eldest brother has passed away, and I am the only male in the family now, so I would also like to ask Commander Chen for help."
Tang Caiying’s meaning was very clear. The prerequisite for my help was that Rudy stayed.
At this moment, Chen Yan's brain was spinning rapidly.
Wouldn't it be a great bargain for me to exchange a lazy Rudy for military equipment?
Not only was the mission completed ahead of schedule, but the risk of the trip was also reduced.
And without Rudy, the troops would have to eat much less food last year.
This is a good deal.
At this moment, Chen Yan's mind was clacking with calculations, and he could hardly hide the smile on his face.
He was about to speak when he suddenly saw Rudy's eager eyes and softened his heart.
This kid doesn't have an easy life. Although he comes from a wealthy family, his life is extremely depressing.
People like this don't have any self, let alone ideals or ambitions. They are just like puppets.
Although Rudy was a bit lazy in his daily life, he was ambitious as a student who gave up medicine and went from Japan to the United States to study chemical engineering, and later joined the Eighth Route Army.
What's more, it was me who asked him to beg Tang Caiying. Now it's not fair to sell him out for my own goals!
Thinking of this, Chen Yan made up his mind: "Sister, Rudy is an adult. He has his own ideas and we must all respect them, and you are no exception."
Tang Caiying raised her eyebrows and clenched her teeth, "What's the matter? Are you planning to save my face?
Don’t forget, this is Shanghai. If I want to keep someone here, not everyone can stop me. Don’t make things difficult for everyone.”
At this time, the atmosphere was tense and people felt a little breathless.
Tang Caiying was right, this is Shanghai, and she has the ability to do so.
Chen Yan frowned, feeling very unhappy at being scolded by a woman.
He smiled disdainfully, "Big sister may not know me, Chen Yan, very well.
I want to leave, and no one can stop me."
Tang Caiying: “!!!”
Looking at the aura of superiority emanating from the young man in front of her, she couldn't help but feel suppressed.
How crazy! But he has the capital to be crazy.
Chen Yan didn't pay much attention and waved at Li San.
Li San untied the sack and threw an unconscious woman in front of everyone.
After Tang Caiying looked carefully, she opened her eyes wide and said in disbelief:
"Are you crazy? How dare you touch No. 76?"
Chen Yan lit a cigarette and said, "Sister, I respect you and I want to explain some things to you.
Rudy is my brother, and what I want to tell you is that I, Chen Yan, have the ability to protect my brothers.
Once a brother, always a brother."
