Du Yuesheng is a famous Qing Gang leader in Shanghai. There are many anecdotes about him. Not long after Du Yuesheng joined the Youth Gang and was still powerless, he and his wife Shen Yueying got married under the help of others.
However, after Du Yuesheng made his fortune and became a gangster, Shen Yueying suddenly disappeared from the public eye and has not been seen for nearly ten years. Rumors are spreading among the people. Some say that she is actually dead, and some say that Du Yuesheng imprisoned her. What is the truth?
Du Yuesheng is from Gaoqiao, Jiangsu Province, and his first half of life was full of misfortunes. His parents died when he was young, and he lived with his stepmother and uncle. However, Du Yuesheng, who was still young, did not want to be dependent on others all the time, so he went to Shanghai to pursue his dream. It is not easy for a poor person like Du Yuesheng, who has no background and no identity, to survive in the affluent Shanghai.
Du Yuesheng first worked in a fruit store. He was very clever and quickly took care of the business. However, he was soon fired by his boss because of his bad gambling habit.
Fortunately, Du Yuesheng met Chen Shichang by chance in a casino soon, a person who changed his life. At that time, Chen Shichang was not a big shot, he was just an ordinary gangster from the Youth Gang.
Chen Shichang seems to be very optimistic about Du Yuesheng, and is sure that he will be successful and achieve great things in the future. Therefore, under his recommendation, Du Yuesheng became a member of the notorious Youth Gang in Shanghai at that time.
Later, Du Yuesheng met Huang Jinrong, the leader of the Youth Gang, because of Chen Shichang's introduction. Du Yuesheng, who worked smartly, liked Huang Jinrong very much, so he stayed in Huang Huangrong's mansion as a handyman.
Du Yuesheng relied on his ability to observe words and emotions honed in a complex social environment and his innate intelligence, and soon became widely praised by everyone in the mansion for his "ability to do things and do good things". But just being an outstanding servant is not what Du Yuesheng wants. He needs an opportunity to be valued by Huang Jinrong.
The opportunity soon came. Huang Huangrong's wife Lin Guisheng was seriously ill and could not be cured for a long time. Huang Huangrong heard that Du Yuesheng was a cautious person, so he sent him to take personal care of the sick Lin Guisheng. Under Du Yuesheng's diligent and meticulous care, Lin Guisheng's illness began to improve and finally recovered. This made Lin Guisheng full of trust in Du Yuesheng and took him with him as a personal servant from now on.
In the subsequent interactions, Du Yuesheng won the appreciation of Lin Guisheng with his ability to "know how to be a good person" and was recommended to Huang Jinrong. Lin Guisheng likes the clever and sensible Du Yuesheng very much and wants to arrange a marriage for Du Yuesheng. It so happened that her hair-combing aunt had a daughter named Shen Yueying, who was born with an exquisite and well-behaved daughter and a slim figure. She happened to be of marriageable age. So with her help, Du Yuesheng and Shen Yueying got married.
After marrying Shen Yueying, Du Yuesheng gradually began to make a fortune. His business grew bigger and bigger, his status became higher and higher, and the relationship between the couple was also very good. However, Shen Yueying and Du Yuesheng have not given birth to a child for many years after their marriage, and as they grow older, they are no longer young and beautiful. So Du Yuesheng married several concubines one after another. Shen Yueying became increasingly disappointed and complained to her cousin Fang Bolin. So her cousin often came to visit and enlighten her, but when the two got too close, some rumors began to spread.
These rumors soon reached the ears of Du Yuesheng. As a leader of the Youth Gang at the time, Du Yuesheng could not tolerate these rumors, so he sent someone to investigate in detail. The results of the investigation proved that they were indeed innocent. The matter was settled. But coincidentally, not long after the incident, my cousin had a car accident and broke one of his legs, so people speculated that it was Du Yuesheng's revenge.
Now it is difficult to clear up whether Du Yuesheng jumped into the Yellow River. Shen Yueying is also half-convinced about this matter. It is difficult for her to convince herself that the two incidents have nothing to do with each other and are purely coincidental. After that, Shen Yueying rarely interacted with her cousin, and Shen Yueying's disappointment and suspicion of Du Yuesheng further intensified. As she became increasingly depressed, she began to contract a very deadly thing - opium.
Although Du Yuesheng was engaged in the opium business, he himself never indulged in opium and set strict family rules to prohibit his family members from taking opium. But at this time, Shen Yueying no longer cared about that much. She didn't dress up all day long, and just stayed in her room with her hair disheveled, smoking opium. Du Yuesheng became increasingly disgusted with her and eventually sent her to another remote mansion to live alone.
The eldest lady who once went out with Du Yuesheng on various occasions disappeared from everyone's eyes, so some people speculated that Du Yuesheng not only disabled Fang Bolin because of revenge, but also imprisoned his married wife. This incident soon became a topic of conversation among everyone after dinner. Everyone said that Du Yuesheng was a ruthless and ruthless person who did not miss old friendships.
But in fact, this is not the case. Du Yuesheng did not issue a "no-football order" to Shen Yueying. Although he disliked Shen Yueying at this time, he still fulfilled his marital friendship. He paid Shen Yueying 500 yuan a month for living expenses and two boxes of opium cream. In addition, he also built a merit bridge in the name of Shen Yueying in his hometown Ye Changjing.
Later Shen Yueying's mother passed away. At this time, she had become half human and half ghost due to opium smoking.
But Du Yuesheng still held a grand funeral for Shen's mother. From what Du Yuesheng did to Shen Yueying and her mother, it can be easily seen that Du Yuesheng would never imprison Shen Yueying for ten years.
