Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was the 37th year of the Republic of China.
The scenery of Beiping was boundless. As dusk approached, the night was as gentle as water. The sky was dyed red like a fiery bird. The sun was as hot as fire.
The old man who sold candied haws on the street was still holding the pillar and wandering around the street. Master Zhang's beef noodle business was still booming …
Their lives gradually moved toward stability and happiness. Laughter filled the streets of Beiping.
In two years, the warlord of Beiping, Jing Yanxiu, seemed to have changed into a different person. His methods were more ruthless and decisive than before. The lost Nanjing was also successfully recaptured. The Japanese pirates were also driven out of China's land.
The outbreak of opium firearms was also silently suppressed by him. From then on, firearms no longer belonged to the common people. They were under the jurisdiction of the military and government. Once ordinary people were found to possess firearms or opium, they had to hand them over immediately. Otherwise, they would be executed by shooting.
Everyone's life was stable and happy. Only this god who gave people happiness did not have happiness.

"Knock, knock, knock —"
The door was gently knocked.
The room was extremely quiet.
After a long time, the young man's indifferent voice came from the room.
"Come in."
The door was gently pushed open with a creak.
Autumn Water walked in from outside the door.
She was holding a glass of water and a set of western medicine in her hand.
The young man sitting in front of the desk in the room was wearing a western-style snow-white shirt. He lowered his head and looked at the document in his hand. A pair of gold-rimmed glasses hung on the high bridge of his nose. Under the clear lens, his black eyes were dark and indifferent. His long eyelashes were slightly lowered. His pale lips were slightly pursed. He was emotionless and indifferent.
Autumn Water walked over and said softly, "Second Master, it's time to take the medicine."
Since the girl left, Second Master's body quickly collapsed. The doctor said that it was because he was seriously injured when he jumped out of the car and did not have time to recuperate. In addition, his mood fluctuated too much. That was why he fell ill.
Jing Yanxiu raised his long eyelashes coldly. His eyes under the lens were calm.
His gaze swept past the medicine on Autumn Water's hand. He pursed his lips.
He put down the document in his hand lightly.
Autumn Water watched as he swallowed the medicine with an indifferent expression and drank some water.
She knew that Second Master would take the medicine obediently. Because if he did not take the medicine, the girl would be sad.
Therefore, Second Master had never said anything about taking medicine.
"You may leave."
He put down the glass of water. His snow-white fingers were pale as he continued to pick up the documents on the table.
Autumn Water pursed her lips and didn't say anything. She lowered her head and silently picked up the cup on the table before turning to leave.
When they were about to leave, Autumn Water suddenly turned around to take a look.
The young man who was originally sitting in front of the desk and looking down at the documents turned his head to look out the window. The sunlight outside the window was so bright, but his black eyes looked lifeless and blank.
The gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose were sparkling under the sunlight. They were so hollow that he looked like a walking corpse.
Autumn Water felt a lump in her throat. She quickly closed the door and left.
She met Adjutant Su.
The glass in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into glass shards. The water spread to the ground.
Autumn Water leaned helplessly in Adjutant Su's arms and sobbed.
