Republic of China: My great warlord, many children, many blessings.

When Duanmu Mingyue saw the two sisters, Duanmu Qingrou and Duanmu Qingyu, completely naked, her face turned pale, and she immediately understood what was going on.

He hurriedly asked, "Last night...last night, were you...?"

Duanmu Qingrou and Duanmu Qingyu exchanged a glance and nodded, then lowered their heads shyly.

Duanmu Mingyue sighed and said, "It's all because your mother is incompetent and couldn't protect you."

"Mother doesn't blame you; this is just the fate of ordinary people like us."

"Yes"

When he saw Duanmu Qingrou and Duanmu Qingyu's faces contort and gasp in pain, he immediately understood.

Immediately, Duanmu Mingyue lifted the blanket to check the wound.

The problem was immediately apparent: Duanmu Qingrou and Duanmu Qingyu's basketball hoops were red and swollen.

He was so angry his face turned white.

"What did that beast do to you, to ruin you like this? Did that old pervert use something else?"

Duanmu Qingrou and Duanmu Qingyu were too shy to speak, but still shook their heads.

"Mother, Commander Shen is very young, only a few years older than us."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Mingyue exclaimed in astonishment, "So young and already impotent? You're being abused with things?"

The Duanmu sisters, Qingrou and Qingyu, were so embarrassed that they didn't know how to reply, how could they have uttered such lewd words.

They realized then that it must have been a misunderstanding.

Shen Hao's is no good, he's just too fierce.

"Mother, you've misunderstood. Master's thing is..."

After listening to Duanmu Qingyu's intermittent explanation, Duanmu Mingyue's face also turned slightly red.

His eyes looked somewhat lost.

Are men really that powerful?

She had relationships with two men, one was her deceased husband, and the other was Wei Yunwen. Both relationships were short-lived, lasting only a short time.

It broadened her horizons.

For no apparent reason, my throat feels dry and I want to drink water; I feel unbearably hot.

149. Who's afraid of playing the information war?

Soon, Duanmu Mingyue came to her senses.

"Since the die is cast, there's nothing we can do. We should try to keep a low profile to avoid disaster," Duanmu Mingyue said worriedly.

Wei Yunwen, a vibrant life, was gone just like that, and not a single person uttered a word of complaint.

The fact that the police chief even personally went to apologize was going too far.

This instilled in Duanmu Mingyue a deep-seated fear of Shen Hao's power, a fear that Shen Hao might one day take her daughter's life if he got angry.

"Don't worry, Mother, we've remembered."

After finishing his lunch, Shen Hao took out the leather sofa and Simmons bed.

When the women first experienced such a soft bed, they were all stunned.

Even Yuan Fuzhen, the president's daughter, had never seen such a luxurious bed.

This prompted all the women to try it out, and sure enough, it was really effective; they all wanted to sleep on it.

The genuine leather sofa is also super comfortable to sit on.

This time, it really broadened their horizons.

Shen Hao's gaze was already fixed on Jiujiang. Whether this battle would actually break out, Shen Hao really didn't know.

Neither side made a move, and the two remained deadlocked.

They all seemed to be waiting for the other to make a move.

Seeing that Li Liejun didn't make a move, Li Yunlong sent men to load all the weapons onto horse-drawn carts and begin transporting them.

At this moment, Li Liejun finally figured out whose army was on the other side.

“Shen Hao from the 18th Division, that guy is really arrogant. He actually dared to steal my gun. Damn it, what’s a pretty boy who relies on women doing so arrogantly?” Li Liejun said.

Despite being extremely angry inside, I really couldn't get angry.

"Telegrams were sent throughout the country and to major newspapers, saying that Yuan Shikai had instructed his son-in-law Shen Hao to send troops to resolve the 397 Jiangxi crisis by force, and that Jiangxi was in danger!"

"General, are you trying to create public opinion so that outsiders will force Yuan Shikai to compromise and withdraw his troops?"

"That's right, if our president dares to risk offending the other governors and send troops to attack western Jiangxi."

"When we finish off Jiangxi, they'll be next after Yuan Shikai. Nobody won't be nervous," Li Liejun said confidently.

If Shen Hao knew about this guy's trick, he would have to admire him; this era has already mastered the art of waging a propaganda war.

Of course, the most popular thing among the warlords in that era was to send telegrams to the whole country, and even university teachers who hadn't received their salaries had to be notified to the whole country.

They're even using the media now.

Sure enough, with the help of Li Liejun's telegram.

The major media outlets and warlords all knew that Yuan Shikai had sent his son-in-law to attack Li Liejun in western Jiangxi.

A young newspaper vendor in Shanghai waved a small newspaper and announced, "Breaking news! Breaking news! The Governor of Western Jiangxi and Shen Hao, the newly appointed commander of the 18th Division, are at loggerheads in Jiujiang, and a fight could break out at any moment!"

"Breaking news! Breaking news! Shen Hao, commander of the 18th Division of the Beiyang Army, is the son-in-law of President Yuan Shikai."

Yuan Shikai ordered his son-in-law, Shen Hao, to send troops to attack Li Liejun, the military governor of western Jiangxi, intending to resolve the issue of western Jiangxi entirely by force.

For a time, many people were curious and bought a copy of the tabloid.

At that moment, a handsome man dressed in a black Zhongshan suit reached out and bought a newspaper.

A somewhat rustic-looking man dressed in coarse linen asked, "Brother Qiang, what does this extra edition mean?"

"Extra edition" means a small sheet of newspaper temporarily added by the newspaper to report important news in a timely manner. Because it is not in the sequential number of the regularly published newspaper, it is called extra edition.

Oh, by the way, Ding Li, are you alright?

This person was Xu Wenqiang.

I came to Shanghai a couple of days ago to try my luck in the city, and I happened to run into Ding Li, who was fighting with someone, so I stepped in to save him.

They are temporarily staying at Ding Li's house.

Ding Li said, "It's alright, I'm a rough guy, I'll recover quickly. Brother Qiang, why did you buy that old newspaper? Isn't that a waste of money?"

Wouldn't it be better to use that money to buy a pack of cigarettes?

Xu Wenqiang smiled and shook his head, saying, "You don't understand. There's news about one of my benefactors in this; I want to see it."

"A benefactor? How could that be?" Ding Li asked in disbelief.

He had just heard from the newspaper vendor that the article mentioned President Yuan's son-in-law and Li Liejun, the military governor of western Jiangxi, fighting in Jiujiang, but no one else was mentioned.

Could these three benefactors be the ones Xu Wenqiang was referring to?

No matter which one it is, they are all incredibly important figures. What are they doing trying to make a living in Shanghai?

Xu Wenqiang said, "Back then, I was young and reckless and didn't know any better. During the demonstration, I was arrested and imprisoned. It was this division commander of the 18th Division, Shen Hao, who rescued me."

Ding Li snatched the newspaper, shocked, and asked, "Brother Qiang, you know Commander Shen?"

Xu Wenqiang nodded and said, "Yes."

"Since you recognize such a big mission, why did Mo come to Shanghai? If she followed Commander Shen, wouldn't she be able to rise through the ranks and have everything she wanted?"

"This Shanghai is a mess, full of thugs and foreigners. What's there to be 'hooked' about?"

Xu Wenqiang shook his head with a wry smile. If Fang Yanyun hadn't been there, he would definitely have sided with Shen Hao.

But seeing her first love become someone else's concubine, she was still resentful and wanted to surpass Shen Hao.

But as things stand, it's impossible in this lifetime.

When they first met, Shen Hao was just the director of the East Branch of the Public Security Bureau.

In just a few months, he has become a division commander with real power.

He became a regional warlord.

This person is practically untouchable in the entire city of Shanghai.

Xu Wenqiang is nothing but a coward, far from being a good match.

What are Feng Jingyao and Huang Jinrong, the three great figures of Shanghai, compared to Shen Hao?

They'll just send troops to wipe them all out.

"Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. Let's think about the future."

Ding Li opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but then swallowed it back down.

He could see the pain flickering in Xu Wenqiang's eyes.
