As the earliest French Concession established in Shanghai, the fame of this concession is no less than that of the public concession. Compared with the time when the public concession was established, the French Concession has undoubtedly existed for a longer time and has more foreign personnel.

Although the trade in the French Concession is far less prosperous than that in the public Concession, it has a competitive position in terms of retail commerce. In the early days of the French Concession's development, many Chinese residents moved in very early and had a large consumer population.

Moreover, after World War I, due to the good infrastructure and environment of the French New Concession, a large number of European and American expatriates and local middle and upper class people were attracted to move in, further developing the French Concession into a prosperous commercial area.

Although he had not been in Shanghai for a long time, Hu Biao still knew that the French Concession was also the base camp of the Shanghai Gangs. Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, the famous young gang bosses in Shanghai, eventually made a fortune in Shanghai because of the French Concession.

After enjoying a hearty breakfast, I called Brooke, who was working hard last night. Hu Biao and his group took two cars and soon arrived at the Belarusian living area of ​​the French Concession and met Nina's family who were recuperating at home.

Looking at the low and dilapidated house in front of him, Hu Biao also said curiously: "Bruke, is this a slum in the concession?"

"Hu, not everyone living in the concession has money. Besides, these Belarusians are refugees, so it is very difficult to survive here. Brother, you have to think clearly that these Belarusians are not easy to provoke!"

Even though they have become refugees, most of the Belarusians who come from the fighting nation are impulsive and fierce. Even members of the famous gangs in Shanghai are not willing to provoke these Belarusians. As for other foreigners in the concession, they have even worse evaluations!

On the other hand, Hu Biao smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's in my heart!"

After instructing Tian Tiezhu and others to stand by at the door, Brooke finally felt helpless and accompanied Hu Biao into Nina's home. The house, which was less than 40 square meters in total, looked very narrow.

As soon as he entered the door, Hu Biao smelled the strong smell of Chinese medicine. Looking at the slightly messy furniture, he also knew that it was extremely rare for Nina's father and brother to protect Nina so well in such an environment.

Nina's father, who was cooking medicine in the room, looked at the three people entering the door, and said with a warning look: "Who are you? Nina, where did you go last night? Didn't you tell you not to go out casually?"

Faced with his father's reproach, Nina, who was nervous, could only say: "Dad, they are my friends, how are Vic?"

"Friend? When did you make friends with a yellow-skinned person? Damn, you won't really leave that place, right? You really disappointed me! Are you right to your mother like this? Yellow-skinned monkey, get out of my house!"

Looking at Nina's father who suddenly became angry, Brooke, who couldn't understand Russian, said with a worried look: "Hu, did you see it? I've told you that people like them are not worthy of sympathy! Let's go!"

On the other hand, Hu Biao, who understood the other party's words, said calmly: "Bruke, please wait for me outside for a while. Since I have decided to help Nina once, I should fulfill my promise. Don't you want me to break my trust, right?"

"Oh! God! Okay! Then be careful. If he dares to do anything, call me at any time. I still have many friends in the French Concession. If he dares to hurt you, I promise they will regret it!"

"Thank you! But you should trust my abilities, don't you?"

Knowing that Brook seems carefree, he is actually a smart person. The most important thing is that after staying in a hotel together last night, Brook felt even more that Hu Biao was worthy of making friends, so he naturally didn't want Hu Biao to be hurt or deceived.

Nina's father, who was standing in the living room with an angry look on his face, seemed to be surprised that Hu Biao was the person in charge. After listening to the conversation between the two, he calmed down and looked at Hu Biao with anger and said, "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

Listening to the other party's English speaking, Hu Biao also said calmly: "Mr. Ivan, it doesn't matter who I am. What's important is that Nina is my woman. To be precise, I sympathize with the suffering she suffered and want to give her a hope.

There is only one thing, I hope Mr. Ivan can understand that you are no longer the count of Tsarist Russia, but a Belarusian refugee who lives in the concession. I don’t want to hear the words of the yellow monkey again, otherwise you will be in trouble!”

"Damn it, you dare to threaten me?"

"Wrong! People like you are not worthy of my threat. I hope you remember that I came here today for Nina. If you are not Nina's father, I will send you directly to God if you say something to you before!"

After the words came, Hu Biao, wearing a coat, shook his cuffs slightly, and a black pistol soon appeared in the eyes of Nina and his daughter. Seeing this pistol, Ivan was shocked but still said toughly: "Don't forget, this is the French Concession!"

Nina, who was standing between the two of them, forgot to cry and be sad at this time, hurried to Hu Biao and said, "Edward, he is my father. He just cares about me. He didn't mean it. Can you forgive him?"

Faced with Nina's plea, Hu Biao shook his palm, and the pistol he had held in his hand soon disappeared into his cuffs. Seeing the disappearing pistol, Ivan, who had previously been vigilant and nervous, breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as the two men looked at each other, a cough suddenly came from the room and said, "Dad, is Nina back?"

Hearing the sound from the room, Nina hurriedly said, "Brother, it's me who's back! I'm sorry to worry you!"

Perhaps it was Nina's conversation with her son in the room that made Ivan think of something, and she opened her mouth and finally sighed: "Sorry! I'm just worried that Nina was deceived, not intended to target you. However, I still hope you can let my daughter go!"

"Why?"

"Although I don't know who you are, I can feel that you should have a lot of people's blood on your hands. Nina is my angel. I feel guilty because I have failed to fulfill my duty to protect her. I don't want her to be hurt again!"

"As a father, your request is understandable. But what I want to say is that even if I leave now, are you really sure that you can protect Nina? Is it necessary to persist in the family honor you have insisted on?"

The very direct and cold words made Ivan's mood worse again. However, compared to the previous anger, Ivan still gritted his teeth and insisted: "You can't give Nina happiness! And I don't want Nina to be with a gang leader!"

As soon as these words were said, Hu Biao, who had a somewhat surprised expression, said speechlessly: "Gang leader? Are you talking about my identity?"

"Isn't it?"

Thinking about his clothes and style, Hu Biao thought it was normal for the other party to have misunderstandings, so he finally shook his head and said, "I'm sorry! I really can't bear the identity of a gang leader. Nina, can I go and see your brother?"

"Of course! It's just that he was injured and had a bad temper. If there is anything wrong with him, please forgive me!"

"For your sake, I will try to stay calm!"

"Thanks!"

Although I didn't have much contact with Hu Biao, after experiencing what happened last night, Nina knew very well how domineering Hu Biao was. If it weren't for her sake, her father's previous remarks would have really angered Hu Biao and done something more domineering.

Walking into the slightly dim room and looking at Ivanuvich lying on the sickbed, Hu Biao felt that the other party was not much different from the Belarusian youth he had met. The only difference was that at this moment, Nuuvich's legs were wrapped in a fishy Chinese medicine.

According to Nina's situation, this brother who was involved in the French Concession acted as a thug. A few days ago, he was unfortunately plotted against by his opponent and broke one of his legs. With no money to treat him, he had no choice but to choose cheaper Chinese medicine, hoping to stabilize his injuries.

For these foreigners living in the concession, Chinese medicine is similar to the witchcraft they imagined. Generally speaking, foreigners believe in Western medicine more. However, the high treatment costs of Western medicine have also made many foreigners afraid.

When Hu Biao looked at Nuvich, the other party was also looking at Hu Biao. In the end, Nuvich said: "Nina, have you really gone to Licha Hotel? You should know how disappointed you will do this to me and my father!"

"Disappointment is better than despair! Although Chinese medicine is magical, it cannot cure all diseases. If you don't want to face the consequences of amputation, it is best to go to the hospital for surgical treatment as soon as possible. If you want to protect Nina, you at least need to be able to stand up!"

"you!"

Listening to Hu Biao's somewhat sarcastic words, Nuvich was indeed very angry. But when he thought of his broken legs and his father who was also limp, Nuvich couldn't believe what the family would be like if he wanted to amputate his limbs.

"Don't think what I said is bad! In fact, you should be glad that you have an angel-like sister. Family members who can support each other in trouble will always be favored by God! I heard from Nina that you were deliberately broken by someone, right?"

“So what?”

"Do you want to take revenge?"

A very casual sentence made Nuvic stunned for a moment and said quickly: "Can you avenge me?"

"Wrong! If you think you are still a man, you should avenge this kind of revenge yourself. If you fall from there, you have to get up from there. What I can help you is to help you heal your leg injuries and prevent you from being amputated.

If you want to protect Nina and fulfill your responsibilities as an elder brother, then I need you to prove it to me. If you have no objection, then I will send you to the hospital now. During your treatment, I promise Nina will be fine!"

"Why did you do this?"

"Don't you understand? For Nina, she is my first woman. Although we don't know each other much, I think she is an angel worthy of care. Do you agree with my words?"
