In the early morning of June 20, Zhao Changan and Wen Ye left Wenjia Village and headed east on the Chengnan County Road.

At this time, Ye Pingbai's motorcade traveled through Jiangcheng, Yuexi, Lujiang, and stayed overnight in Wuhu yesterday. Early in the morning, a group of people also came to the big bend in the river that flows from west to east to north to south.

The river wind is strong.

Ye Pingbai, Ye Pingju, Ye Henian,——

A group of Ye family members stood by the river, while the entourage was waiting far away on the other side of the motorcade.

The people standing by the river looked at the roaring water, with various expressions and mixed tastes on their faces.

"From the old dock at the mouth of the Qinhuai River in Jinling to here, there are more than 180 miles of waterway. The incident happened in the early morning. Xiao Zi, come and give Grandpa the total."

Ye Pingbai smiled and tested Ye Zi.

"Grandpa, this is very difficult. First of all, I have to know the time when Six Auntie and the others set off, the load and horsepower of the ship, and the hydrology of the Yangtze River at that time; and the distribution of the Japanese army's airports at that time, so that I can roughly get a rough idea of ​​who they were.

The possible time when the bombers appeared between Ma'anshan and Tongling. This way we can more accurately delineate the range."

"Come on, let's go for a walk over there."

Even though everyone standing around him was the Ye family, there were some things that Ye Pingbai obviously didn't want too many people to know about, so he suggested that Ye Zi accompany him for a casual walk along the river.

"It was an ominous hour when the ship set off. It was a small wooden-hulled steamer specially designed to carry passengers across the river -"

Ye Pingbai said casually, Ye Zi supported her grandfather and listened quietly.

"——As for the Japanese airport and bombing,"

Ye Pingbai looked at his granddaughter with a smile: "Don't you have anything to ask?"

"According to Liu Auntie, there was a fire on the ship at that time. If it was the Japanese fighter jets swooping down and shooting, unless there were a lot of flammable materials on the ship, how could there be a fire so quickly? Moreover, Liu Auntie said that what she heard was a boom.

One sound."

A puzzled look appeared on Ye Zi's face: "If it was a fire caused by bombing, then it was a hit. Is such a small wooden-hulled steamer worthy of being bombed by Japanese bombers early in the morning? You must know that the Battle of Jinling had not yet started at that time.

You shouldn't blow up a small steamer even if it has a bomb."

"Don't worry about the Japanese plane."

Ye Pingbai's words made Ye Zi's body tremble slightly.

"Grandpa, I don't understand."

"It's not that you don't understand, you just don't understand why you do it."

Ye Zi was silent.

"There must be a reason, but more than sixty years have passed, and the reason is not important at all; what is important is whether some things in the sunken ship can be salvaged and brought to light again, instead of being buried in vain."

"Grandpa, our family has encountered financial difficulties abroad?"

Ye Zi couldn't believe it.

You must know that only a little money has been invested in China from abroad in these years, and now it has made so many achievements.

There are a large number of foreign real estate, enterprises, industrial and mining, as well as stocks and bonds, which have been accumulated for decades.

"You go to school well, do your work well at home, and don't be distracted by external matters."

Ye Pingbai's words are tantamount to acquiescence.

"But how much is that sunken ship worth, no matter how much stuff it contains? If our family really encounters difficulties, what use will the money do? Besides, after so many years, someone might have salvaged it long ago?"

After Ye Zi asked a series of questions, Ye Pingbai looked at the river for a long time and said: "There are some things you don't need to know now. Grandpa naturally has his own reasons."

——

Zhao Changan and Wen Ye took turns driving. It was only four o'clock in the afternoon when they arrived in Liangxi.

Zhao Changan and Song Jing talked on the phone. They were visiting Water Margin City. Song Jing excitedly asked Zhao Changan if he could make some extra money tonight. She knew Mr. Liang of the organizer very well and promised to join.

"Then add it. What does Jingxiu sing?"

"Of course it's 'Just Like You'. This song is still popular now, and the organizer basically invited her because of this song."

"Okay, let me sing whichever capital is suitable for you to discuss."

In fact, Zhao Changan wanted to shout "Existence", but it would be a bit boring if Jingxiu kept singing that "old song" and he suddenly sang a new song together.

Zhao Changan was deep in thought, thinking about which unlucky person's song he should plagiarize and give to Jing Xiu.

"Don't you want to sing that song 'Existence'? In fact, among your songs, this one is my favorite. I thought I could listen to it tonight."

Wen Ye, who was driving, grinned and expressed regret.

"Both the literary youth and the angry youth like this song. If you want to hear it, I will howl it to you right now."

"No need to worry, there is no atmosphere, and it also affects my driving."

Wen Ye suddenly laughed: "What a passionate young man, ruthless and mean!"

——

When the car arrived at the gate of Water Margin City, Zhao Changan was surprised to see Song Jing and Jing Xiu standing in the shade of a big willow tree outside the city gate.

The two of them were eating ice cream.

Wen Ye parked the car in the parking space next to it, and the two of them got out of the car.

"Please eat ice cream."

Song Jing looked at Zhao Changan with a heartfelt smile on her face.

"Boss, take the most expensive one."

Zhao Changan was not polite.

"Old Popsicle."

Wen Ye ordered one. Although it was cheap, it was the most thirst-quenching one.

"As for what, it's just a few thousand dollars, where's your dignity and reserve?"

Because Zhao Changan's song was added temporarily, the organizer gave a quote of 30,000 yuan. Although it was a bit low, Zhao Changan just picked up money on the way and didn't care too much.

After Song Jing filed her taxes, she would be able to save five to six thousand yuan.

Zhao Changan watched Song Jing look at him with bright eyes, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart: "Did her family be robbed again during this period, making her extremely poor?"

"It's not Ge. Do you know how much money I made from stocks during this period?"

Song Jing's face was overjoyed, and her eyes when looking at Zhao Changan changed from bright to golden.

"How much did you put in?"

"I invested 530,000 yuan during this period."

This amount shocked Zhao Changan: "Are you so rich?"

"I poured all my money into it and borrowed some. The house I bought last year was also mortgaged. If the car hadn't been mortgaged for a small amount, and I had to bring Jing Xiu to perform, I would have wanted to put this car away.

The car was also mortgaged; and I doubled the leverage."

This time, let alone Zhao Changan, even Wen Ye and Jing Xiu looked at Song Jing in surprise.

"Twice the leverage."

"It's not high, right? This is all my property over the years, all my hard-earned money. If by any chance the position is liquidated, bah bah!"

Song Jing quickly spat on the ground, looked at Zhao Changan pitifully and flatteringly, and said, "I also borrowed over 100,000 yuan, and the interest is very high."

"That's it, don't add any more leverage, otherwise I might wash you out."

Zhao Changan was serious. In fact, in his impression, as long as the leverage at this time was not increased to two or three times, no matter how much intimidation and shock the trader tried, it was impossible to force Song Jing to close her position.

But this woman is too greedy. Of course, who in the world is not greedy? Some people are greedy for money, some are greedy for beautiful women, and some are greedy for immortality. - He is afraid that if he doesn't say something more serious, maybe she will continue to increase leverage in the future.

, until with a 'boom', it all turned out to be nothing.

"I've actually always wanted to join, but I didn't dare."
