Surrender III

In this battle, Sheng Guang, the second child, and Sheng Wei, the third child, were killed, and more than 200 of their subordinates died.The old fifth, Sheng Ming, is nowhere to be found.

In J City, Mr. Shen, a military and political official, suddenly fell ill, and his grandson Shen Mo took charge of all affairs.Sheng Weiyong was arrested for economic crimes involving smuggling and possession of firearms, and his eldest son Sheng Kai was arrested for murder.The stock price of Shengjing Group plummeted.The Sheng family's situation is gone, like a building that is about to collapse, crumbling.

Officials characterized the incident as a gang fight, but cleverly avoided the Chu family, only announcing that the Chu family was an innocent victim "accidentally" involved in the fight between the two gangs.

In this battle, the Black Hawk will kill 43 people and injure more than 240 people.The former Chu and Qin troops who were paying homage to the cemetery that day suffered the most casualties. In the Qinglan mansion, apart from Aunt Song, the gardener and several servants who had not gone that day, Bai Yang and three bodyguards were seriously injured. All the others died.

Chu Yunhan, who stubbornly demanded to come to the scene in person, didn't say a word the whole time, just picked up Feng Tai's pocket watch and put it in his arms, straightened out Lan Xin's blood-stained hair little by little, and looked at that white and quiet face for a long time They didn't move, and finally closed their eyes that were reddened by force, and they were put into black body bags and transported to the morgue.

After returning from the cemetery, he locked himself in the room of the old house and never came out.There are still many fishes in the Sheng family who slipped through the net and may be wandering around in the city, so Chu Yichen asked him to live in the old house temporarily.In fact, everyone knew that it was because he was afraid that he would be hurt by the scene in the empty Qinglan mansion.

In the afternoon of the second day, the door was forcibly opened, and Hei Yu brought a little girl in front of the haggard Chu Yunhan.

Finally, there was a flicker of light in his dull eyes.Half-kneeling down, she said slowly in a hoarse voice, "Yuanyuan, your mother... is gone."

"...Where did mom go?" There was a sense of uneasiness in the immature voice.

"... She went to a very, very beautiful place. She wanted to stay there, but she was worried about you, afraid that you would be alone..." In front of this child, he tried his best to maintain restraint, to make himself look better, "In the future, uncle will accompany you instead of her, and let her stay there with peace of mind, okay?"

Yuanyuan looked at him, nodded, but tears fell down.She is a sensitive and meticulous child. Her mother did not come back, neither did Uncle Feng, and many people did not come back.She can read the pity and sadness in the eyes of adults looking at her.She knew that her mother would not come back, and from then on, she had nothing to rely on except this person in front of her.

Chu Yunhan hugged her in his arms and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, don't cry... Uncle will always be with you and protect you. Are you hungry? Let's go eat something together, shall we?"

He has to cheer up, because someone needs him, and he is someone else's support.

This incident is too involved, and a lot of aftermath work is required. There are a lot of things to be busy in both black and white, including political negotiations, business operations, internal management, investigation of the remnants of the party, compensation for the dead, and treatment of the injured. ...There are so many things, plus there are many losses in personnel, Chu Yichen is so busy, Min Ran can't separate himself in J City, and even Chu Yu and Chu Xuan from the previous generation have to participate in it.Chu Yunhan took the initiative to take over many of the group's operations and became busy.

The funeral of the deceased was held a week later, and tombstones were lined up in the exclusive cemetery of the Black Eagle Society. Although some ashes had been taken away by their families, their names were engraved here as a permanent memorial .

It was an extremely grand funeral. The black convoy with huge white flowers on the front of the car slowly passed the main road of K city, passed the headquarters of the Golden Eagle Group, and sent the deceased to the soul under the gaze of the golden eagle on the top of the building. The ultimate habitat.The long motorcade attracted countless passers-by to watch, and everyone knew that it was a guard of honor for the Chu family to bid farewell to their old friends.

The cadres and senior members of the Black Eagle Society rushed back from all directions, and the entire cemetery was dark and solemn.Chu Yichen in a black suit stood at the front, and Chu Yunhan and others stood behind him, bowing deeply to the tombstone together.Yuanyuan, who was wearing a small black skirt, held his hand tightly, sobbing softly.After the ceremony was over, he took her little hand and went to Lan Xin's tombstone. Yuanyuan cried and said softly, "Mom, don't worry, I will listen to Uncle Chu, and I will visit you often..."

Seeing this scene, Chu Yunhan felt extremely bored in his heart, turned his face away, and met the eyes of the man standing not far away.

Chu Yichen was looking at him.The two of them were busy with their own affairs during this time, even though they both lived in the old house, they always left early and returned late, as if they hadn't seen each other for a long time.At this moment, there were many people between them, and they just looked at each other calmly, and no one looked away.It wasn't until Yuanyuan grabbed Chu Yunhan's hand again that he lowered his head and hugged her, leaving the cemetery first.

Once people are busy, they ignore the passage of time.It has been a month and a half since the various transactions were processed and the whole situation stabilized.After the beginning of winter, there have been several moderate rains, and it is getting colder every day.

Chu Yunhan, who was woken up by the alarm early in the morning, went downstairs yawning with messy hair.Since Lan Xin's death, no matter how busy he was, he would spare time every day to have breakfast with Yuanyuan, and then send her to kindergarten.Walking to the dining room with sleepy eyes, seeing the person sitting at the round table eating, he paused and opened his eyes wide.

Yuanyuan, who was wearing a little red sweater, reached out to grab the pastries on the plate, but her arms were too short to reach them, so she retracted silently.At this time, a big hand stretched out from the side and moved the plate directly in front of her.The girl said thank you in a low voice, picked up a small cake and took a bite, the jam inside flowed out, and the man sitting next to her wiped it off with a napkin and said, "Eat slowly."

This picture is really weird and harmonious, which left Chu Yunhan dumbfounded, wondering whether he should walk over or not.A while ago, Chu Yichen went to J City to expand his contacts, and the two of them haven't seen each other for more than half a month, and it feels unreal to see someone sitting at the table now.Yuanyuan raised her eyes to see him, and called Uncle Chu, followed by that familiar sight.

Chu Yunhan felt a slight itchiness on his face as if being swept by a cat's tail, coughed lightly, said vaguely "Morning, you're back", and sat down on the other side of Yuanyuan.

"Just arrived."

He was a little cautious for no reason, and said, "Over there...is it done?"

"Ah."

"Don't go?"

"Ah."

"Min Ran is still there?"

"Shen Mo's foothold is not stable, there are still some things to do."

"Oh."

A question and an answer are very simple.

Chu Yunhan scooped up a little porridge with a porcelain spoon and put it into his mouth, but it was so hot that he couldn't spit it out or swallow it, looking extremely embarrassed.While sucking in hissing air, he secretly glanced at the other party.

The corner of the man's lips twitched, and he drank the milk in his glass without saying anything.On the other hand, Yuanyuan looked at him sympathetically and said, "Uncle, eat slowly, it's hot."

"Yeah." His face was reddish, he stirred the porridge in the bowl with a spoon, and said, "I'll take Yuanyuan back in two days."

Chu Yichen was silent for a while, then replied flatly: "Okay, I'll let someone arrange it."

Chu Yunhan didn't know why he was suddenly a little upset, as if a breath was stuck in his heart, making people uncomfortable, and he said, "I will arrange it myself."

This was an extremely shameless confrontation, and Du Chuan, who was standing aside, glanced at the person sitting in the main seat.

The man's expression didn't fluctuate at all, he took a sip of the milk in the glass slowly and said, "Okay."

It is obvious that I proposed it first, but people agree but are not happy, what is going on?Even he felt irrational.

It's probably because I've been suffocating recently, and I'm a little emotionally out of balance...

It must be so...

Chu Yunhan was depressed and didn't feel like eating. After Yuanyuan finished eating, she said "I'll take her to kindergarten" and they all left together.

Depressed all the way.It wasn't until Yuanyuan, who was sitting on the back seat, asked timidly, "Is uncle unhappy?" that he realized that his face was dark all the time, and said with some shame, "No, it's just that the road is a bit congested. Let Aunt Jing Come pick you up, okay? Uncle has a meeting, I don't know when it will be held."

"Okay." The little girl was always very good.

After sending Yuanyuan to the kindergarten, Chu Yunhan realized that he was absent-minded just now and forgot a whole folder of materials at home.

I wanted to call Du Chuan to find someone to send it to the company, but after thinking about some commercial secrets involved, I decided to go back and get it myself.

Walking into the Chinese-style building with white walls and black tiles, he glanced at the study on the second floor, stopped, and turned back again.

The sun shines through the wooden lattice windows, painting the patterns on the windows in gray shadows on the ground.The neatly arranged books on the tall bookshelves are layered on top of each other, like a three-dimensional painting made of graphic elements.In the picture scroll, a figure was leaning on the back of the large sofa, his head tilted to one side, the hand holding the pen rested softly on the armrest, and the pen rolled down on the carpet.

The eyes are closed tightly, and the thick black eyelashes cast a small shadow under the eyes.

Just like that... Chu Yichen fell asleep.

Chu Yunhan stood aside and watched for a moment, then sighed softly.This was the first time he had observed the other party's sleeping face so closely.In my impression, the grown-up Chu Yichen is always strong and cold, always sober and calm like a machine, and sometimes even forgets that he is also an ordinary person who needs to rest.

He glanced at the thick pile of materials on the side table and frowned.

It must take a lot of effort to mediate among the powerful and powerful in J City. This man caught a plane in the early morning and didn't even get a good night's sleep. Now he has to deal with a lot of business. It's really...

By the way, it seems that I only drank a glass of milk in the morning.

He looked at the sleepy sleeping face of the other party, and somewhere in his heart there was a soft, sour, green plum-like emotion, which slowly swelled up and filled his heart to its fullest.He quickly took a soft thin blanket from the adjacent room, and gently covered Chu Yichen's body.He walked out and closed the door of the study room, and when he turned around, he saw Du Chuan holding tea and Hei Yu holding materials standing behind him.Chu Yunhan raised his eyebrows and said, "If you have to worry about something now, why can't you let him sleep for a while?"

This was the first time that the young master had meddled in Chu Yichen's affairs, both of them froze for a moment and looked at each other.Hei Yu lowered his head and said, "I'll report back in half an hour."

He walked a few steps, turned back, and whispered to Du Chuan, "Don't say I've been back."

"Yes." The butler replied.
