In this era, the speed of information dissemination is unimaginable.
On the night of the death of Mr. Chen, Xinwen Lianbo broadcast the news of Mr. Chen's death. After the news was broadcast, it did not cause much shock.
After all, Mr. Chen has not appeared much in front of the people for so many years. In terms of influence in the hearts of ordinary people, not to mention compared with the older generation of leaders, it cannot be compared with some contemporary people who stand at the top of the power pyramid.
.
In a sense, this is a great irony and an unchangeable fact!
For ordinary people, the death of Mr. Chen is just the death of a hero of the older generation, but for people within the system, the death of Mr. Chen is undoubtedly a thunderous explosion!
In the two days after Mr. Chen's death, people within the system and the military who had reached a certain level of identity and status were in panic.
It is foreseeable that in the near future, the situation will be completely changed due to the death of this old man. At that time, those who choose to wait and see, those who choose to re-choose the team, and those who continue to stick to the team unswervingly will all surface one by one.
.
As for the above game, it will also quietly kick off...
Pull one hair and move the whole body!
At that time, from top to bottom, the first round of shuffling will begin!
Three days later, when the cremation ceremony of Mrs. Chen's body was held at Babaoshan Funeral Home, Chen Fan, as Mr. Chen's most cherished and doting descendant, did not attend.
Not only him, Chen Zhan and his wife did not go either.
At the entrance of the airport, Susan was pushing a wheelchair and talking to her mother-in-law, Sun Yaling.
After three days, the mood of the two of them was much more stable than three days ago, but the sadness in their eyes could not be erased after all.
Compared to the two of them, neither Chen Zhan nor Chen Fan are weak people. Today, there is no trace of sadness on their faces.
They hide their sadness deep in their hearts, preventing outsiders from peeking.
Outside the airport, Chen Fan and Chen Zhan stood together smoking. The smoke surrounded their faces. It could be vaguely seen that Chen Zhan had a trace of worry on his face, while Chen Fan had a calm face, as if there were no waves.
lake surface.
"You really don't want me to go out and help you?" Chen Zhan slowly exhaled a puff of thick smoke, then put out the cigarette butt and looked deeply at Chen Fan.
"No, you gave up your bright future for my mother and waited behind her in obscurity for nearly twenty years. She has become accustomed to your waiting and company. I don't want this to change."
Chen Fan shook his head gently, his voice was low and his tone was firm. While speaking, he looked at the red sun rising slowly in the east, not knowing what he was thinking in his heart.
After hearing Chen Fan's words, Chen Zhan sighed secretly.
While sighing secretly, he still had worries that he couldn't erase, worried about Chen Fan's future.
He knew better than anyone else that the biggest reason why Chen Jianguo kicked Chen Fan out of the Chen family was that Chen Fan had made too many enemies before, including such terrifying enemies as the Yan family and the Xue family.
power, in such a situation, once Mr. Chen dies, if Chen Fan continues to stay in the Chen family and those people take revenge, they will undoubtedly implicate the Chen family.
Chen Jianguo kicked Chen Fan out of the Chen family, which undoubtedly protected the Chen family's interests to the greatest extent. After all, if those people wanted to retaliate, they would only go after Chen Fan. Even if it affected the Chen family, it would not be too serious.
Compared with this reason, the weight of worrying about Chen Fan snatching the position of the head of the family is much lighter - without the support of Mrs. Chen, my family is indifferent to the Chen family. Even if Chen Fan performs well, as long as Chen Jianguo
Without vigorous support, the position of head of the family cannot fall on Chen Fan.
It is precisely because he knows this that he is worried about how Chen Fan will face the next wave of difficulties. In his opinion, no matter whether it is Chen Yongrui, Chen Fei and his son, or external enemies, they will never let Chen Fan go.
sail.
Based on his understanding of Chen Fan, it was not difficult for him to guess the meaning of what Chen Fan said to Chen Jianguo before going out three days ago.
In his opinion, what Chen Fan said was tantamount to directly declaring war on Chen Jianguo - without the protection of the Chen family, I can still deal with those enemies! Without the training and support of the Chen family, I can still do better than you, the descendants of Chen Jianguo
Excellent, even to the point where they look up to you!
only--
How easy is it for Chen Fan, who has lost the aura of the Chen family, to do all this?
At least, in Chen Zhan's view, it is not easy for Chen Fan to achieve these two points.
"If you encounter trouble that really cannot be solved, remember to call me." Chen Zhan knew that continuing to persuade Chen Fan would be a waste of time, so he simply stopped trying.
Chen Fan nodded slightly.
Seeing Chen Fan nodding, Chen Zhan understood that his son, who was extremely proud inside, would have zero chance of calling him for help in the future.
Even though he knew this, he still couldn't help but remind him: "Although I am not in the government and the opposition, my brothers are. Among them, the highest official is only at the provincial, ministerial, and ministerial levels, and the highest military rank is only
Major General! If you take them out individually, they may not be able to make a big splash, but if they are united together, even if they fight against the Yan family, they will definitely severely damage the Yan family's vitality!"
Chen Fan remained silent.
"What? You don't believe me, or do you think that twenty years later, it is impossible for them to give up their own future and family interests for the affection they had back then?" Seeing that Chen Fan remained silent, Chen Zhan smiled.
"Xin. Back then, you were known as the sword in the army and the soul of the army on the battlefield in Vietnam. There is no doubt that your brothers, who have been with you through life and death, risked their lives to help you once." Chen Fan also smiled: "But
I know that since the day you quit and chose mediocrity, you have never thought of trouble them again."
"You are right, but for your sake, I can make an exception." Chen Zhan said with a complicated expression.
For a good man to be willing to give up everything for his woman, this requires a lot of courage and determination!
Chen Fan did not answer directly, but looked at the red sun in the distance, which had completely exposed its head, and said softly: "Back then, I was sent to Longya by the old man. I cried and fussed at first, but then I cried and fussed enough, and I
I secretly vowed that I will become the most outstanding Dragon Ya warrior, and then when the old man is proud of me, I will quit Dragon Ya and make him sad and regretful!"
Chen Zhan was stunned.
"That's what I really thought at the time." Seeing that Chen Zhan didn't believe it, Chen Fan smiled again, but his heart was bleeding.
"Later, I gradually fell in love with the brothers around me. I liked training with them, fighting together, and eating meat and drinking wine together. So, when I became Dragon Ya, I did not choose to quit." The eastern sky was dyed with morning glow.
It turned red, and familiar faces seemed to appear in the sky, and Chen Fan's expression fell into memories.
"Later, the master died and I killed an innocent woman. Because of regret and self-blame, I quit Long Ya and was determined to avenge the master." Chen Fan said lightly: "As a result, I used two
Years have passed to fulfill my vow!”
Chen Zhan was shocked in his heart!
At this moment, he felt Chen Fan's determination and courage to move forward. It was a determination that would not give up until the goal was achieved - even if his body was shattered to pieces, he would not give up!!
For two years, he killed the bloody purgatory to the point of insecurity. Now, can he give Chen Jianguo and even everyone who is waiting for his joke a slap that does not hit the face, but is louder and more painful?
Chen Zhan didn't know, but the worry in his eyes became stronger. He was not worried that Chen Fan couldn't do it, but worried that Chen Fan would deteriorate in the future.
He hesitated again and reminded: "Fan'er, dad believes in your ability, but I just need to remind you that the underground world has its own rules, and the officialdom has its own rules, and the rules cannot be broken."
"I see."
Chen Fan nodded.
"Also, no matter where you go, you must stick to the final bottom line!" Chen Zhan said, his tone suddenly became sharp: "If you abandon your bottom line for the so-called oath and wave your hands at the country and the people,
Use the butcher knife in your hand, and when the time comes, there is no need for Longya to take action, I will be the first to kill you!!"
"If we get to that point, I won't have the shame to burn incense and kowtow in front of the old man's grave." Chen Fan said calmly.
After hearing what Chen Fan said, Chen Zhan stopped talking nonsense and lit a cigarette again.
Under the sun, the father and son smoked cigarettes one after another without saying anything else.
When the two of them finished smoking the third cigarette at the same time, they seemed to have a mental connection, flicked the cigarette butts away, and stood up straight.
"It's getting late, you go in with Shanshan." Chen Zhan said, "Call your mother when you have time. Don't make her worry too much."
"Um."
Chen Fan nodded and walked towards the entrance with Chen Zhan at the same time.
"Brother Xiaofan!"
At this moment, an extremely loud voice came from the distance.
As soon as the sound came out, Chen Fan's footsteps stopped immediately, and like Chen Zhan, he subconsciously cast his gaze into the distance.
In the distance, Chen Ning, who was wearing a Marine Corps uniform, ran towards Chen Fan regardless of the surprised looks of the people around him. His steel field boots stepped on the ground, making a snapping sound, and the sound was very rhythmic.
feel.
Seeing this scene, not only Chen Zhan, but also Chen Fan was stunned for a moment.
Obviously, neither of them expected that Chen Ning would appear at this time!
After all, this morning is the day when Old Mrs. Chen's body is cremated, so Chen Ning should stay at Babaoshan Funeral Home.
After pondering for a few seconds, Chen Zhan quietly walked towards the entrance, while Chen Fan walked towards Chen Ning.
One step, two steps, three steps...
At this moment, Chen Ning was running like a green whirlwind, and the terrifying speed made the people around him look shocked.
"Huh...huh..."
Even Chen Ning's physical strength couldn't bear the continuous running. When she ran in front of Chen Fan, she was panting and sweatdropped on her forehead.
"Why are you here?" Chen Fan looked at Chen Ning, who had the most beautiful girl in the army in front of him, and asked with slight surprise.
Chen Ning adjusted her breathing, and then her breathing became calmer. She stared at Chen Fan's face that had no trace of grief at all, and answered the question, "Brother Xiaofan, are you going back to the East China Sea?"
Looking at Chen Ning's indifferent face and the remaining sadness, Chen Fan's originally fragmented heart felt a warm current: "Thank you for coming to see me off."
"I've heard everything about you and grandpa." Chen Ning was silent for a few seconds, then stared at Chen Fan's face and said, "Grandpa did something wrong."
"It's all over." Chen Fan seemed unwilling to discuss this topic with Chen Ning.
"Brother Xiaofan..." Chen Ning bit her lip and spoke again.
"Huh?" Chen Fan frowned slightly.
"Once upon a time, Ning'er regarded you as my idol and the figure that I chased." Chen Ning bit her lips and trembled slightly as she said, "Now, you have left Longya and the Chen family, but Ning'er will still be there.
Keep chasing."
Chen Fan's heart was slightly shaken.
"Ning'er believes that no matter how hard Ning'er works, she will never catch up with you, because... Ning'er believes that you will be like Ning'er and will not stop your progress, right?" Chen Ning
He looked at Chen Fan with blurred vision and his voice trembled.
Chen Fan did not reply.
Tears welled up in Chen Ning's eyes and slid down quietly.
Chen Fan reached out to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, turned around, and strode away.
Under the sun, he straightened his back!
Because, he is no longer Long Ya, no longer Chen Fan of the Chen family.
