After a while, the car stopped in that familiar place.
The changes in that area were not big, but he was indeed unable to find the Ouyang family's residence there.
After finally finding a few residents, he thought he would finally know the news about Ouyang Yiman, but he never thought that the news he heard almost made him collapse.
"Are you looking for Mr. Ouyang's daughter?... She committed suicide by cutting her pulse at home a few days ago. At that time, she also set a huge fire! The surrounding mountains and forests were almost set on fire..."
"What did you say?!" Mu Niancheng grabbed the man's shoulders uncontrollably and asked urgently.
"I said that Chinese girl committed suicide..."
"How could she commit suicide!"
Mu Niancheng obviously didn't believe what he said. She was so strong and positive, how could she do such a stupid thing?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
"You must have recognized the wrong person, right?" A broken voice carried the last hope of prayer.
However, the man decisively dashed his hopes and even told him the address of the cemetery where Ouyang Yiman was buried.
Even if he didn't want to believe it, he still arrived at Mu Nian City and followed the address to the cemetery.
The tombstone is obviously newly made, and the words engraved on it are still very new. This is one of the few cemeteries in Australia that belongs exclusively to the Chinese, and all burial methods comply with their customs.
The words "Ouyang Yiman" are clearly engraved on the tombstone, and there is a photo of her from a few years ago. They don't know how they obtained it.
"Have the police checked? Is that person... really Manman?" Mu Niancheng asked the tombkeeper standing aside in a low voice.
The tombkeepers are also Chinese, and they spoke in Mandarin, "The police here are very efficient and careful in their work. They only confirmed the identity of Miss Ouyang after comparing the DNA of the deceased and Mr. and Mrs. Ouyang."
of."
At this moment, even if Mu Niancheng no longer wanted to believe it, he had to admit that the person lying inside was Ouyang Yiman, and his Manman...
"Thanks!"
Mu Niancheng spoke in a low voice. At this time, he no longer had the energy to deal with other things. He just wanted to accompany his Manman, the Manman who he had always ignored.
The tomb guard naturally knew how to watch people's words and expressions, so he silently withdrew without saying anything.
His slender fingers gently brushed the photo on the tombstone, with a strong tremor in his fingertips.
In the photo, Ouyang Yiman grinned, her smile was particularly bright, and there was no sadness or sadness on her face that he often saw. Could it be that death is a kind of relief for her?
When this realization came into his mind, Mu Niancheng's fingers couldn't help but tighten one by one, clenched tightly into a fist, and then smashed it heavily on the ground. Regret, like a vine, slowly grasped his heart.
It entangled him fiercely, leaving no gaps, making it impossible for him to escape!
If I could see my feelings clearly earlier; if my attitude towards Manman could be better; if I could endure it a little longer and not say such cruel words... none of this would have happened.
Now, Manman won't be lying alone in such a cold place...
Something crept up quietly, blurring his vision, and then dripped down the corner of his eye onto the stone slab, blooming into a beautiful flower.
Manman, do you choose this path of no return because you want to reunite with your parents in heaven? If that's the case, then I respect your choice.
If you are just trying to escape me, Manman, you are really stupid. I, Mu Niancheng, am so virtuous and capable that I am worthy of the sacrifice you have made for me...
The night crept up little by little, and until the setting sun had completely submerged, Mu Niancheng slowly stood up and reluctantly walked out of the cemetery.
The gravekeeper looked at his sad figure, something strange flashed in his eyes. After he got into a taxi and disappeared completely, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a series of numbers——
"Mu Niancheng has been here...no reaction. I just stayed in the cemetery for an afternoon, looking very sad...didn't say anything, just sat in front of the tombstone...yes...ok, I understand.
!”
The man on the other end of the phone hung up the phone, frowned slightly, and slowly turned his gaze to the woman on the bed.
The woman on the bed had a pale face, an oxygen mask on her face, and an intravenous drip in her right hand. If not, the equipment on the side was ticking, indicating that she still had signs of life, I am afraid no one would believe it.
She is still alive!
Mu Niancheng, what's the use of regretting it at this time? Everything is already too late!
"Ouyang Yiman, it's time for you to see clearly that this man Mu Niancheng is not worth your life for him!" The man spoke in a low voice, with a hint of distress in his gentle tone...
Three years later.
United States·New York·Chinatown
The Chinese business gathering held once every ten years is held here.
This party has been passed down for hundreds of years, and it is impossible to trace back who the founder was. This party has also experienced many twists and turns, but in the end it was still passed down. After that, it gradually gained its own scale.
, later on, there was even a strict hierarchy similar to a gang.
Those who can attend this party must meet several conditions. First, they must be Chinese, second, they must be elites in the business world, and third, their companies must be established by their own strength.
The three points must meet at least the first two points, but even if they meet the conditions, they must be unanimously recognized by the four managers to become one of them.
Although their management and review system are quite strict, there are still people who are struggling to get in. Because once you become a formal member, you will not only be recognized by many big companies in the world, but you will also be given priority.
Enjoy the opportunity to cooperate with many large international companies.
Such opportunities are not easily available. Therefore, no matter how strict the system is, those opportunities are tempting those people to try their best to get in.
The gathering that happens every ten years has naturally become the focus of everyone's attention. Unfortunately, their gatherings are very private, and few people can find out the information.
This year's gathering is different from previous years.
Since the two newly appointed managers are both young people and relatively open-minded, they actually chose to make the party public. Not only did they invite many Chinese businessmen to participate, but they also invited many business magazines to participate.
To expand the influence of this party. However, they deliberately concealed their true identities.
However, even so, it still caused a huge sensation in New York. Every magazine that was invited sent its most capable reporters and photographers, hoping to get more useful information.
As the only Chinese reporter in dire business magazine, Ouyang Manqing is naturally honored to be one of them.
"No, editor-in-chief, I promised my son that I would accompany him to watch "Insect Story" that day!"
"Man Qing, you are the only Chinese in our magazine. You are Chinese just like them. If you go, you will definitely get better results than us." The editor-in-chief said softly with a faint smile on his face.
persuaded.
"No, editor-in-chief, my son..." Are you kidding me? No matter how big the issue is, it is not as important as spending time with my son.
"If you go, your monthly salary will double this month..." The editor made an extremely attractive offer.
"Editor-in-chief, I also want to go, but my son..."
Seeing the editor-in-chief getting a salary increase so easily, Ouyang Manqing didn't want to let this opportunity go.
"As long as you collect valuable information, your bonus will be quadrupled this month!"
"Deal!" As soon as the editor finished speaking, Ouyang Manqing immediately smiled and responded cheerfully.
Are you kidding me? The bonus is already more than the monthly salary and quadruples it. If she doesn’t agree, she would be a fool! Once she gets the bonus, she can take her son to Seattle to have a good time!
Seeing her cheerful response, the editor-in-chief was shocked to realize that he had been tricked by her. However, at this time, he could only knock off his teeth and swallow it in his stomach.
"Manqing, in this interview, you must pay attention to those..."
"Don't worry, editor-in-chief, I have a sense of proportion! I won't interview those who often make gossip and often appear in newspapers and magazines! I will definitely choose those who are difficult to handle, who have almost never been in magazines, but they are
Interviewed by a competent person!”
"Then I'm relieved!" After hearing her words, the editor-in-chief showed a relaxed expression. He chose her for the interview not only because she is Chinese, but more importantly, her adaptability and ability to do things are better than
The other reporters at the magazine are better, even better than myself, the editor-in-chief.
"Okay, I promise to complete the mission!" With a playful salute, Ouyang Manqing walked out of the editor's office and began to organize the information.
With only two days to prepare, everything seemed a bit rushed, but Ouyang Manqing was always very efficient in doing things. Although it was a bit rushed, he still stuffed all the information that needed to be prepared into his mind.
After calming his son's mood and entrusting him to the landlord, Ouyang Manqing went straight to the venue of the party.
The photographer was already waiting for her. With the invitation, the two of them entered easily and were arranged in a special area.
The entry time of the magazine was not consistent with the entry time of the guests. After waiting for about fifteen minutes, people came in sporadically.
As a reporter, her cells became active, and she started snapping pictures with her camera, but she did not waste too much memory. Usually, people with high status will wait until the second half to show up.
Sure enough, after about twenty minutes, the people who came in were obviously different from the ones before, their status and abilities were getting higher and higher.
Ouyang Manqing excitedly held up the camera and kept taking pictures.
Gee, many of these people don’t attend public events at all. If you miss this time, I don’t know how long it will take for you to have another chance!
Suddenly, a face broke into her sight. The action of pressing the shutter stopped suddenly, and the expression on her face suddenly changed——
