Lu Cheng did not answer in a hurry, but walked to the window next to the cabin and took out a bottle of red wine. He was in a surprisingly good mood, with a smile on his face. "Yun Feng, today is different from last night.
Last night I cleaned up the house, but I was merciful to Ma Qi. Today, Ma Qi betrayed me again to lure Chen Yao. His two betrayals have become a taboo in the underworld, and everyone can get rid of them. My action has become a way for heaven.
.So, there is a big difference between the two.”
Nie Yunfeng suddenly realized that it was indeed what he said. In fact, not only that, after the death of Chen Yao, the black market in Roucheng, no one dared to yell at Lu Cheng anymore. No matter what he did, no one would be able to criticize him again. This may be the so-called today.
Times are different from the past.
"Then why are you hiding the details of this operation from me so closely? Brother Cheng, are you testing me or do you still not believe me?" Taking this opportunity, he wanted to make things clear, otherwise he would have something wrong with the other party in his heart.
, one day it will snowball and it will be difficult to look back.
Regarding his calmness, Lu Cheng's eyes flashed with approval. He did like to be straightforward. But he still thought about this issue for a week, took a sip of red wine before speaking, and said: "Yun Feng, it's not that I don't believe you.
It's about the deployment of this operation, not even Alie knows about it. He hinted you not to act rashly at the critical moment because I tapped my fingers on the table twice when Chen Yao came in, and Alie knew the meaning of my actions.
.”
The implication is that there is a tacit understanding between him and Ali. No eye contact is needed, and only an occasional habitual body language can express one's thoughts. This tacit understanding is the result of the accumulation and precipitation of time.
Nie Yunfeng was noncommittal. This answer was still acceptable. In terms of time, he couldn't compare with the distance between Ali and Lu Cheng, so he couldn't detect Lu Cheng's hints with just a small movement. But if he still had to do it after risking his life.
He would feel chilled if he didn't trust me, which is why he asked.
A goblet was handed to him, with more than half of the dark red wine in it. He raised his eyes and saw the extreme seriousness in those deep eyes. He only heard Lu Cheng say: "Nie Yunfeng, from the moment I plan to use you
, I regard you as my brother. So, don’t doubt my trust in you. The reason for keeping this secret this time is because I want Chen Yao to walk into this fatal situation and avenge his godfather, do you understand?"
Sincere expressions, if contagious, will always incite a person's heart.
Nie Yunfeng nodded involuntarily, took the wine glass, drank it all in one gulp, and looked at each other with a smile.
Some people say: In this world, good people may not necessarily have good rewards, and bad people may not have bad consequences, but people always believe in fate.
Some people also say: There is no such thing as decency in people, decency means that the temptations received are not enough; there is no such thing in people as loyalty, loyalty means that the stakes for betrayal are too low. But trust is a kind of delivery from one person to another.
As soon as Chen Yao fell, his position was immediately eroded by small forces, and then there was a cohesive force secretly that twisted all these scattered forces together. It was well known that this force was Lu Cheng, and this had been spread in the Tao
Over and over. At this point, when everyone talks about Lu Cheng, they feel fear in their hearts. They no longer just think of him as a tough guy in the shopping mall as before.
Chen Yao's "accidental death" was eventually identified by the police as a gang fight due to insufficient evidence. In the end, they arrested a few gangsters symbolically and let it go. This is also enough to prove that Lu Cheng's ability to integrate white and gangster forces was
Suppress such a big incident.
Now that there is no enemy, Lu Cheng is naturally prosperous. The performance of Luo's Enterprises has been increasing steadily, and the business in the black market has been going smoothly. Unexpectedly, the title of "Best Outstanding Entrepreneur in Roucheng" has once again landed on Lu Cheng's head.
.
Sitting in front of the TV, Nie Yunfeng couldn't help but smile when he saw the award-winning scene. Ali beside him also laughed and joked: "I wonder if they would have awarded this award if they saw Brother Cheng holding a gun in his hand?"
He suddenly laughed out loud and kicked Allie.
He tilted his head back and leaned on the sofa, with a gleam in his eyes. In two days it will be Hong Ye's death anniversary.

"Xiaoxia, my father only has one wish, which is to be buried with your mother after his death."
These were the last words her father left for her. He gasped weakly, and Luo Xia nodded while crying, waiting for life to be annihilated.
Once upon a time, there was such a scene in the deepest part of her memory, where her father and mother were holding her hands, with sweet smiles on their faces. At that time, all happiness belonged only to Luo Xia.
No one else.
Now, she was standing in front of the grave in the cemetery, holding the black ashes jar in her hands. It was actually very light, but her arms felt sore from the pressure. It was not the porcelain that was heavy, but her heart. She squatted down and looked at the tombstone quietly.
The black and white photo above was taken by my mother when she was young. Later, every time her father brought her to pay homage to her mother, he would proudly say: He took this photo.
She took out another photo in her pocket. The man on it was handsome, handsome, and gentle. He was the man who gave her life, and he was the father who loved her deeply. His name was Luo Tingyuan. By this time, she had already put those
The past has been erased from her mind. No matter why her father was with her mother, she is sure of one thing: this man loves their mother and daughter.
Death, such a profound word, is even engraved in my heart.
After more than a year, she returned to Roucheng and walked into the cemetery. She was half a year late from making her final promise to her father. But the cold wind started again, reminding her that it was December again, and the winter snow was coming more than usual.
It was already early. The sky and the earth were vast. I still remember that it only snowed last year on the day she left. It was already January.
I borrowed a shovel from the uncle at the cemetery, put the ashes jar at my feet, and started to dig up the soil behind the tombstone. The hole didn't have to be very deep, and I saw my mother's white jade jar inside, so I put the one on hand as well.
Go in, bow deeply to the pit, and then slowly cover up the soil.
Then he looked around and saw no one was there. He quietly took out a sharp carving knife from his pocket, pasted his father's photo next to his mother's photo, and then started carving on the tombstone.
The Tomb of Luo Tingyuan, Unfilial Daughter, Luo Xia.
This is what she can only do for her father, let his name be listed with her mother's, and his ashes be buried with her mother's.
After repeating the seal carving over and over again, it finally became clear. After staring for half a minute, her nose became sore again. Even though the initial pain was gone, there was still a constant pain. She hugged the tombstone and pressed her forehead against the cold
On the bone-chilling stone tablet, I whispered in my heart: Dad, I have fulfilled your last wish for you, and I have to leave.
When she was about to stand up, she heard the sound of heavy footsteps, which was the sound of leather shoes hitting the floor tiles. Because she was sitting on the ground and her body was small, she was blocked by the tombstone. She leaned out a little to see her body.
He froze. The next second he looked around in panic, looking for a place to hide.
But in a desert cemetery, where can I find a hiding place? I had to move my body to a large tombstone next to it. A fairly large room was built behind the tombstone. It looked like a rich man's tomb.
I built a "mansion" and crawled into the tomb without daring to get out of the air. I only quietly peered out from the narrow opening.
There were four people in the group. The leader was Lu Cheng, whom she was deeply afraid of. The three people following him were all known to Luo Xia. They were two men and one woman. The woman was Hong Lehan, whom she had met several times before.
As for the men, one was A Lie, and the other was Nie Yunfeng, whom she forgot to breathe.
Seeing them walking towards her, she was shocked. Could it be that she had chosen a fatal spot in a hurry? Fortunately, she stopped a little ahead. The cemetery they stopped in was similar to the one she was hiding in. They also built a "mansion"
's tomb.
Seeing Hong Lehan kneeling in front of the tombstone, tears rolled down her face. She said: Dad, I’m back to see you.
It turned out that the person they came to pay homage to was Lord Hong. No wonder Lu Cheng also came over. He was his godfather. She retracted her sight and did not dare to visit again for fear of being discovered by Lu Cheng. Then she had escaped and the sacrifice she had made.
The price was all in vain. The price was too high, and she no longer wanted to live under Lu Cheng's control.
After feeling sad, Hong Lehan raised his eyes and said gratefully: "Brother Cheng, thank you for coming with me."
"Silly girl, what are you saying to thank me? How could I not miss my godfather's death anniversary?" Lu Cheng said gently, his brows and eyes were filled with warmth, like a beloved brother. Tears gathered in Hong Lehan's eyes and he said softly: "
Brother Cheng, can I have something personal with you?" His eyes drifted towards the other two people, his intention was very clear, he wanted to talk to Lu Cheng alone and privately.
Ali shrugged and walked away. Nie Yunfeng frowned and walked to the other side. The direction he walked was the tombstone where Luo Xia paid homage before. He was slightly surprised that Hong Lehan would say something to Lu Cheng.
What, I received a call from her yesterday morning saying that her flight arrived in Roucheng this morning. Although I don't agree with her returning to China, it is the anniversary of Hong Ye's death, so I can't stop her from coming back to pay homage.
He lowered his gaze and suddenly froze. He looked up to look at Lu Cheng. Seeing that he was listening seriously to what Hong Lehan was saying and didn't notice what he was saying, he lowered his head to look at the inscription carefully.
He read it correctly, it actually said: Luo Tingyuan's Tomb, Unfilial Daughter, Luo Xia.
Rocha.
Luo...Xia. The name was sunk deep in his heart and he didn't want to look back. But at this moment, it suddenly jumped into his sight. The handwriting on it was crooked and irregular, and it was definitely
It wasn't carved by a specialized master, so could it be that...she is back? No, Xia Tian, how can you come back?
When one place is suspicious, others will be found soon after. A small piece of shovel exposed behind the tombstone, plus the new soil that has been moved in the graveyard, prove one thing to Nie Yunfeng: Luo Xia has been here, and may even be there.
Not leaving!
He raised his head and quietly paid attention to the situation on the border with Lu City, and then blindly searched around. His sight was fixed on the large brick house three or five stones away from the tombstone. That house was more than one meter high. It would be no problem to hide someone.
.At present, only Mr. Hong’s tomb in the surrounding area can compare with that place, and the others are just small houses to store ashes.
As for the one at your feet, you can tell at a glance that it is a tomb from long ago. The woman in the black and white photo next to Luo Tingyuan, Luo Xia looks very similar to her...
————
I thought that I had only walked a turning distance, but when I looked around, I saw a vast ocean. After we had been apart forever, and when we met again, we still could only face each other without seeing each other. I can only be happy that you and I are still alive.
