In the dark night, it was as if endless thick ink was smeared on the sky, and not even the glimmer of stars could be seen.
In a room of Qiao's house, Zhang Yilan finally woke up after several days. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the white-haired old man in front of him with a cane. His heart sank and he said sadly: "I'm sorry, Mr. Qiao."
...I disappoint you."
Qiao Jihai's face was calm, without a trace of emotion. He knew that Zhang Yilan's martial arts skills were completely useless, and now, even the guards at the door might be able to bully him.
The word "waste" couldn't be more suitable to describe the current Zhang Yilan.
"That person is very powerful?" Qiao Jihai said calmly.
Zhang Yilan shook his head: "No... someone is protecting him secretly, and the person protecting him is very strong! Even in front of those two people, I have no power to fight back."
Qiao Jihai couldn't help but narrowed his eyes: "Then do you know who it is?"
Zhang Yilan still shook his head: "I don't know...Mr. Qiao, I don't accept it, I want revenge...I was not prepared that day..."
"On your side?" Qiao Jihai said coldly: "Who do you think can't bully you now? What qualifications do you have for revenge?"
"When you lose, don't make excuses. There's nothing wrong with admitting that you're not as good as others. Just go home and retire."
"Mr. Qiao!" Zhang Yilan's pupils suddenly shrank: "No...I have been with you for so many years, and I have worked hard without any credit. I can still continue to work for you."
"Do you have to say something ugly to understand?" Qiao Jihai's eyes were cold and he said in a deep voice: "You have lost all your martial arts skills. You should know that my Qiao family never raises disabled people. What's the use of staying with me? What's the point of you staying with me?
What can you do? Leaving decently is your best choice, no need to say anything more."
Qiao Jihai turned around and left. The man who had followed him for more than twenty years was so coldly and ruthlessly abandoned by him.
Zhang Yilan couldn't believe it. He knew that the Qiao family did not raise disabled people, but he had done so many great achievements for the Qiao family, but now, he was dismissed with just one word, and he didn't even have any sympathy at all.
Such ruthlessness deeply hurt Zhang Yilan's heart...
Qiao Jihai was walking outside the door when a dark shadow suddenly appeared and came to his side.
"Mr. Qiao." The shadow said respectfully.
Qiao Jihai nodded lightly, glanced at the room behind him, and finally said in a deep voice: "Please move more quickly, there is no need to make him suffer."
The shadow was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I understand!"
Qiao Jihai stood with his hands behind his hands, looking at the bright moon above his head, and sighed deeply: "You know too many secrets of the Qiao family, I can't let you live."
...
Late at night, after returning to Su's house, the two senior sisters reconciled and spoke to the outside world.
But it was aimed at Chen Qiu.
Chen Qiu stood in front of the window. After a while, a shadow came from the darkness.
"What's the matter?" Chen Qiu asked calmly.
Ying Yi was dressed in black and looked extremely cold. When he came to Chen Qiu's side, he lowered his head slightly and said in a deep voice: "According to the news from the Misty Rain League, many groups of killers will be organized to come to Jiangcheng in the near future."
Chen Qiu raised his eyebrows: "Does this have anything to do with me?"
Ying shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I guess it's probably you."
Chen Qiu frowned and wondered: "When did I offend these organizations?"
Ying smiled bitterly and said: "Now, you have been put on a reward in the underground world abroad, worth 20 million!"
"Twenty million?" Chen Qiu was a little displeased: "My life is only worth twenty million? It's so disrespectful."
"U.S. dollars...and living."
"Oh..." Chen Qiu said thoughtfully: "Have you ever investigated who issued the reward order?"
"It was posted anonymously. I'm trying to check it out, but I guess there won't be any news."
Chen Qiu nodded. This kind of information about the underground world should be released by the dark web. This website is anonymous. It is difficult to find out who posted it by conventional means. Now, the only way is to wait for him to surface. Since
If you want your own life, you will definitely see him.
But Chen Qiu was surprised. He had been in China all these years. When he was young, he had the experience of traveling abroad, but he didn't offend anyone at all.
"This ring is for you." Ying took a ring from his hand and handed it to Chen Qiu, explaining: "With this ring, you have the right to rule the Misty Rain Alliance. Now everyone is ready to take action!"
When he said this, Ying looked sad: "Back then, the lady gave me this ring and asked me to manage the Misty Rain Alliance. Every time I see this ring, I always think of her. Time flies so fast... In the blink of an eye, Shen Ten
Years have passed..."
Chen Qiu was not polite at all. He took the ring and put it on. He had some impressions of this ring. When he was a child, his mother would wear it on her hand. But later, Ouyang Xin's thoughts were all on himself, and Yan Yumeng didn't even bother to pay attention to it.
.
For her, the person she cares about most has changed from Yan Yumeng to Chen Qiu and Chen Qiu's father.
But later, the massacre wiped out the Ouyang family, and the man she cared about most in her life abandoned her.
Chen Qiu was devastated and couldn't imagine the pain her mother had gone through at that time.
The memory was so sad that Chen Qiu waved his hand: "It's all in the past..."
After Ying left, Chen Qiu sat alone in the room for a long time.
People often say that time can dilute everything, but Chen Qiu doesn't think so.
Even though more than ten years have passed, the hatred in Chen Qiu's heart has not disappeared with the passage of time, but has become more serious.
His mother died in front of him, but he was powerless and could only watch helplessly.
That feeling of powerlessness is still unforgettable to Chen Qiu. His mother stretched out her hands to hold Chen Qiu's face before leaving, and Chen Qiu will never forget her look of reluctance in her eyes.
...
The next day, in the classroom.
When Chen Qiu walked into the classroom, he instantly caused a sensation.
Many people came over one after another. Everyone was curious about what happened yesterday. After all, the whole class knew about the bet.
I didn't see Chen Qiu yesterday afternoon. Ning Han came over, but his face was gloomy and no one dared to ask questions.
"Chen Qiu, what happened yesterday? Let me tell you about it."
"I think Ning Han didn't look very good yesterday. Could it be that he lost?"
"How is that possible? The Ning's Mansion is the territory of the Ning family. Have you ever seen someone who entered your own house and was turned away?"
Just as a group of people were discussing, Ning Han walked in with a gloomy face. When he saw Chen Qiu, he couldn't help but clenched his fists.
"Master Ning." Chen Qiu chuckled and said, "Is our bet worth it? I'm still waiting for you to call me daddy."
"What bet?" Ning Han said lightly: "Why don't I remember?"
Immediately, his cold eyes swept across the audience: "Why, do you know the bet?"
Everyone still didn't dare to offend Ning Han, so under his gaze, everyone returned to their seats one after another, not daring to breathe.
Ning Han smiled contemptuously and asked him to call Chen Qiu daddy in front of so many people?
How can this be?!
"I hate men who don't keep their word." At this time, a delicate voice sounded.
Everyone turned around and saw Ye Chuxia standing at the door of the classroom holding a book and said coldly: "If a person doesn't even have the most basic integrity, then such a person cannot be regarded as a friend at all."
"Chu Xia..." Ning Han immediately panicked when he saw Ye Chu Xia: "I didn't break my integrity."
Ye Chuxia snorted coldly: "Then you are threatening everyone? What you said in front of the whole class yesterday, is it possible that you forgot it in a day?"
"I..." Ning Han was really hard to explain. He didn't care about other people, but he didn't dare not care about Ye Chuxia's feelings.
But calling Chen Qiu's father in front of so many people? That would be even more uncomfortable than killing him...
But don't shout...it will make Ye Chuxia feel that she is not keeping her word.
After weighing the balance, Ning Han blushed and gritted his teeth and said: "How can I, Ning Han, be a person who breaks my word?"
"A gentleman's words are hard to follow! I lost this bet, and I will never lie."
Immediately, he looked at Chen Qiu, very embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "Chen...Chen..."
Chen Qiu said calmly: "Okay, Master Ning, why don't you stop shouting? I know you can't say it out loud. If it were me, I would be the same."
"It's okay, everyone understands. I'm just going to be labeled a scoundrel in the future. This doesn't matter to you, Master Ning."
Ning Han gritted his teeth and hated Chen Qiu to death. This seemed reasonable, but in fact, it was holding him back!
Now, you have to shout even if you shout, and you have to shout even if you don’t shout!
It was so painful! Ning Han wanted to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
Taking a deep breath, Ning Han shouted: "Dad Chen!"
"Hey! My great son!" Chen Qiu immediately agreed with a smile: "But dad doesn't want a son like you, so you should find another dad."
"Fuck!" Ning Han was furious and trembling with anger. His eyes were scarlet and he glared at Chen Qiu: "Wait for me! We are not finished!"
After saying that, Ning Han snorted and turned around to leave!
