Ye Chen was shocked by the behavior of the middle-aged man in front of him.
He immediately stretched out his hand to support him and asked subconsciously: "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man immediately said respectfully: "Back to Master Ye, I, Chen Zhaozhong, should have become a lonely ghost long ago. It is only because I was lucky enough to be rescued by Master Chang Ying that I managed to survive today."
Hearing that Chen Zhaozhong was an old acquaintance of his father, Ye Chen clasped his fists at Chen Zhaozhong with great respect, bowed and said, "Hello, Uncle Chen, I am Ye Chen!"
Chen Zhaozhong was extremely excited and said with red eyes: "I know...I know...The first time I looked back and saw you, I knew you must be Master Chen. At first, I thought I was cheating. I had hallucinations, but when I thought about Miss Gu telling me about the mysterious guest, I immediately concluded that you must be Master Chen..."
Gu Qiuyi said with a smile: "Brother Ye Chen, I didn't tell Uncle Zhong that you were coming. I didn't even tell Uncle Zhong that we had found you. I originally wanted to give Uncle Zhong a surprise, but I didn't expect Uncle Zhong to be like this." So smart, I guessed your identity right away!"
Chen Zhaozhong said quickly: "Miss Gu, it's not that I'm very smart, it's just that Master Chen and Master Chang Ying looked so much alike when they were young..."
Ye Chen couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Chen, how did you and my father meet?"
Chen Zhaozhong sighed and said seriously: "Back then, because I was young and frivolous, I offended someone I shouldn't have offended. The other party issued a fatwa to kill me. All the young and Dangerous boys in Hong Kong went out to kill me. Find them out and hack them to death..."
Speaking of this, Chen Zhaozhong said with red eyes: "It was Master Changying who sent people to rescue me from Hong Kong Island overnight, and then went to Hong Kong Island to negotiate with the big boss in person, and paid a huge price in exchange for my life... .”
Ye Chen said in surprise: "Uncle Chen, it turns out that you and my father are old friends..."
Gu Qiuyi said quickly: "Brother Ye Chen, my dad said that Uncle Zhong was a well-respected celebrity at home and abroad. In order to invite Uncle Zhong to come out, Uncle Ye visited Hong Kong many times, which was comparable to Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage. Got it!"
Chen Zhaozhong said with great humility: "Miss Gu is too polite. You are not considered a celebrity at all. She is just lucky enough to be appreciated by Young Master Changying."
As he spoke, he sighed with great regret: "Back then, I originally wanted to return to the countryside and live in the Manan Mountains, but I was fortunate enough to be appreciated by Young Master Changying, so I decided to follow him and make great achievements. But I didn't expect that just after I dealt with my own For personal matters, when I was preparing to go to Yanjing to return my life to Master Changying, Master Changying suddenly gave up on the Ye family and left Yanjing with his young mistress. His whereabouts are unknown..."
When Ye Chen heard this, he couldn't help but feel nervous. What Chen Zhaozhong was talking about should be what happened when he was eight years old.
So, he hurriedly asked: "Uncle Chen, do you know the secret behind the death of my parents?"
Chen Zhaozhong shook his head and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, Master Ye. I only heard about Master Chang Ying's murder that year. At that time, Master Chang Ying had already cut off contact with me. The last time he contacted me was when he was going to Before leaving the Ye family."
Ye Chen hurriedly asked: "Did my father say anything to you at that time?"
Chen Zhaozhong said: "Back to Master Ye, Master Changying told me on the phone at that time. He said that he was leaving the Ye family, but he still hoped that I could work for the Ye family, and asked me to contact Tang Sihai, the chief steward of the Ye family at the time.
, but I didn’t agree.”
Saying that, Chen Zhaozhong explained with some shame: "To tell you the truth, Master Ye, back then, I didn't want to get involved in Jianghu affairs. If I hadn't been convinced by Master Changying's personality charm, I would not have chosen to leave the mountain again.
....."
"So, I felt at that time that if I had to work hard for Master Changying, I, Chen Zhaozhong, would definitely die without mercy!"
"But if I'm not playing for him, then I don't want to embarrass myself."
"So, I made a promise to Young Master Changying that whenever he decides to return to the Ye family or set up his own business, with just a phone call, no matter where I, Chen Zhaozhong, am or what I do, as long as he still has some use for me, as long as I
I still have one breath left, so even if I’m crawling, I want to return to him..."
"At that time, Master Changying also respected my choice, but I didn't expect that I would hear the news of his murder not long after..."
At this point, Chen Zhaozhong's eyes were filled with tears. He couldn't help but choked up and said: "I really didn't expect that Young Master Changying would die young. It's really... such a pity...
"
Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh. When his father passed away, he was only in his thirties and in his prime. It was indeed a pity.
