Chapter 40: A Closer Look (1)
It's a pity that she is his Aruan, his concern.She is not beautiful, not good, and not obedient, but he has tried to pretend that he has forgotten her, but in the end he still looks for her shadow in others, to no avail.Love is like this. When you love someone, it seems that you suddenly have a weakness, and you suddenly have an armor.

At four o'clock in the morning, the window was gray and there was no light.

Ruan Wei went to the bathroom and changed into a pair of neat trousers. When she went out, Ye Jingxuan was still in a deep sleep.

She knew that he didn't sleep so steadily in the past. After all, he was a person on this road, and he was always on guard in his dreams. Especially after Ye Jingxuan suffered a brain injury, he often woke up in the middle of the night and his sleep quality was very poor. That's why he had the problem of smoking. Rely on the numbness that tobacco brings.

But after Ruan Wei came back, Ye Jingxuan seemed to be sleeping peacefully, until she walked out gently, he didn't feel it.

She followed the stairs to the small door behind the kitchen downstairs. It was originally the place where the servants in the old house cleaned up the garbage. It was too early, even Aunt Fu hadn't woken up yet. She deliberately avoided the dozing servants, Into the backyard in the dark.

During the extraordinary period, Ye Jingxuan was hanged with the word "Lan". There were too many people who wanted to kill him openly and secretly. All the entrances and exits of the old house were guarded, even this small road was no exception. .

Everything has been prepared.

Ali glanced at Ruan Wei. It was cold in the morning. He remembered that he had brought a thin cotton coat, which was breathable and comfortable. He handed it to Ruan Wei and signaled her to put it on. Then, without making a sound, he avoided people and led her out. .

When Ruan Wei got into the car, she looked up and looked upstairs. Most of the windows of the master bedroom upstairs were blocked by trees, but she could still see a gap from the angle she stood.

The rose she posed yesterday is still there, only a shadow.She couldn't see it clearly, and suddenly felt a pity that she should take a bunch of flowers and leave, otherwise they would wither in two days if they were left there.

"Sister Wei..."

"Let's go."

Ruan Wei got into the car with her head down. Today's situation is special, but she was calmer than they imagined from the beginning to the end.

In fact, Ruan Wei has always been unattractive, with an ordinary face, but today... the street lights in the middle of the mountain have not been turned off. A Li looked at her with the last ray of light, and suddenly felt that she was more beautiful than ever in front of him. At this moment, I understand why the third brother can obsess over her for 20 years.

It is said that a beautiful woman is a disaster, she is a woman who is not outstanding in everything, but in the end she can make Ye Jingxuan abandon her family and business for her, and can break the peace that Jinglan has painstakingly maintained for decades.

But she is not weak, she is protecting him in her own way.

"Sister Wei, do you have anything else to say? I can pass it on to Third Brother later." Time was too tight, but A Li couldn't bear to rush her.

She shook her head, and still laughed after thinking about it, and called Ali and said, "Tell him, just treat that nightmare as real."

A Li didn't know what the nightmare she was talking about, but he nodded solemnly, closed the car door and went to tell the driver, watching her leave all the way.

Thousands of miles away, Mucheng Lanfang.

It was quiet outside the ruined courtyard where the president was, and everyone was in danger.During the extraordinary period, Chen Yu became more and more suspicious. As usual, he changed the night watchmen one after another. In the end, he couldn't find out how many people Ye Jingxuan brought out in the past few years, so he had to blindly screen them.

In fact, it wasn’t long before Ye Jingxuan settled in Lanfang from Southern Province, and he has already formed a tendency to evade the president. All the access roads in Mucheng are in his hands. Chen Yu wanted to take back his authority and sent someone to search the residence of the lobby master Ye Jingxuan. , but for several days in a row, the people left behind by the other party refused to let go, and no one listened to the president's words from the beginning to the end.

He is too useless as the head of the family, and there are people watching jokes in the open and in the dark.

Infuriated, Chen Yu made people rush in, and clashed with the Ye family who stayed behind in Lanfang on the street. Finally, the wind was heard outside, and the police car stopped two blocks away, and they were in a stalemate.

Just after noon, Chen Yu had closed the door to ensure his own safety, and someone outside hurriedly sent a message: "President, the batch of goods that should come from Southern Province today..."

As soon as Chen Yu heard this, he felt that something was wrong. At this time, there should be no more troubles. He asked the servant in a tense voice, "Is something wrong?"

Ye Jingxuan almost cut off the communication between Nan Province and Mucheng, but the business that Jing Lanhui does secretly involves too much, and some things on the line involve the interests of the whole island and overseas parties, so it can't be cut off for a while. According to the rules, daily It will be sent to Mucheng every day.

"There is no problem with the things, the key is that there are more people, the president... that woman sent herself to die."

Chen Yu smiled slowly. His yard has become more and more quiet these days. Everyone is pretending, but everyone is also showing loyalty. Whether it is true or false depends only on his own eyes.

This is the first time that Chen Yu has issued a ban order with the word "Lan" since he took office. He is determined to clean up the door and let everyone see the new president's methods, but he is also nervous behind his back.At their level, being able to guard this street is not based on ability, but more on intuition, life and death can be determined in one thought.

But today's news is really surprising.

Chen Yu leaned back on the chair slowly, pushed away the computer in front of him and said, "Ye San is really willing."

"President, Ruan Wei didn't dare to go the right way. She came here with the delivery man. This must be her own idea."

Chen Yu was in a good mood, and ordered someone to wait outside Lanfang: "Greet the guests well."

"Yes, President."

After he finished speaking, he turned on the screen on the wall to see the forecast. There were still thunderstorms in Nan Province.

The subordinate understood, bowed his head and said: "We have checked, the plane from Nan Province can't take off today, Ye Jingxuan can't catch up."

Chen Yu got up and walked to the window, looking into the distance, and when the servants went out to make arrangements and came back, he saw that he was still standing there, so he asked in a low voice: "President, do we want to keep alive? As long as Ruan Wei is here In our hands, Ye Jingxuan must be obedient."

Chen Yu shook his head. It was sunny in Mucheng today, and he could see the eaves of Haitang Pavilion in the distance from him.He suddenly remembered that in the past few years, his brother Chen Feng was still alive and was by Mr. Hua's side, and he was only qualified to watch the night outside Haitang Pavilion.

He suddenly laughed again, knocked on the glass and shook his head and ordered: "Bring it back and execute it according to the rules. That woman has no relatives. She should be clean. Leave her left leg for Ye Jingxuan to see, and the rest...don't leave ashes." Chen Yuer The voice of the man in the past without the slightest pity resounded beside him. He was obviously seriously ill and even spoke lightly, but every word of his made one's bones chill.

Chen Yu gritted his teeth, slammed his fist on the glass, and said in the tone of Mr. Hua: "There is no need to use women to negotiate terms with him, I will let Ye Jingxuan take a look, what will happen to those who dare to oppose me... .”

In the afternoon, Nan Province really predicted rain again, but the rain had not yet fallen, and the thunder was rolling, and all flights were delayed.

There was dead silence inside and outside the old house, the study room was full of people, A Li knelt in the middle.

Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down, tearing a cold white scar on the wall, facing Ye Jingxuan's face, it was cold.

Fang Sheng was tired of dealing with people outside these days, leaving A Li to stay at home.Ye Jingxuan didn't see Ruan Wei when he got up, but A Li told him that Sister Wei went for a walk in the garden. They used to raise Moore, and they both had the habit of getting up and walking the dog in the morning. It's not surprising that Ruan Wei woke up early.Ye Jingxuan didn't think about it for a moment, all internal and external matters were on his shoulders, everyone was waiting for him to make a decision, and it was noon as soon as he got busy.

He didn't realize that something was wrong until Aunt Fu searched around but couldn't find anyone, and caught up and said that Ruan girl hadn't eaten since she got up.

The old house is the only safe place, Ruan Wei is going to die when she goes out, but Ye Jingxuan never thought that she did not leave with Yan Rui, but chose to go back to die by herself.

Ye Jingxuan's interrogation was fruitless, and if A Li dared to do such a thing, he couldn't open his mouth.He belongs to Fang Sheng, but Fang Sheng didn't bother to plead guilty, and went to check the flight immediately.In order not to disturb Ye Jingxuan, A Li and the others didn't use the Ye family's private jet. It was even more impossible to fly civil aviation in this weather, so Ruan Wei had to go back to Mu City by water or by truck.

But there are too many channels on the island to and from Mucheng through the Ye family, dozens of lines, A Li didn't mention a word, they couldn't find it for a while.

Ye Jingxuan waited and waited with the gun twirling in his hand, but there was still no news.He had already asked Fang Sheng to arrange the plane, but due to the thunder and lightning weather, he could not obtain permission to fly.

No matter which way, after so long, Ruan Wei must have returned to Mucheng.

Ye Jingxuan finally couldn't bear it anymore, he threw the gun out with his hands, and slid far along the floor.A Li was silent all the time, and suddenly he picked up the gun and pointed it straight at his temple. Immediately, someone around him rushed over and pulled his hand: "A Li! Don't!"

A Li looked up at Ye Jingxuan, the person above him looked cold and motionless.

Seeing that he was about to commit suicide, he still only asked: "I'll give you another chance, which line did Ah Ruan go?"

"Since I sent her away, I don't think I can live."

A Li just refused to say it, and when he was about to pull the trigger, Ye Jingxuan snapped, "Put it down!"

These words exploded with the sound of thunder, Ali trembled all over, his face was covered with cold sweat, he gritted his teeth, his whole figure was drained of all his strength, and he was pushed to the ground.

Ye Jingxuan is still the master of this family, if he doesn't allow him to die, he must linger on.

The person behind the desk was completely angry. He stared at him and said, "The Ye family has never produced any trash that commits suicide! Do you want to die? Well... I will help you!"

Ye Jingxuan asked someone to set him up, but he still sat in his original position, but one sentence seemed to burn through everyone's persistence. He was no longer angry, he was just disappointed.

He wanted A Li's life just now, but so many people under his command came in to intercede, everyone was reminding him that A Li was also loyal to the Ye family, and everyone whispered in his ears that they were all for the third brother.

Xiao En died, Xu Changke went into self-imposed exile, and Fang Sheng took Xia Xiao away after everything calmed down. He also wanted to remain anonymous, and he didn't know where the future lies.The boys who grew up together got their own place, but none of them ended well.

Now it was A Li's turn, and everyone couldn't stand it any longer. Several people went all out to stand in front of A Li, and begged the third brother to forgive him. No matter how much A Li did, it was to protect these brothers in the past.

Ye Jingxuan clenched his hands tightly, he didn't shoot after all, looked around everyone around, and told them: "If you really treat me as a brother, you won't always want her to die!"

The last half of Ye Jingxuan's sentence almost growled, his chest throbbed, and he was so anxious that he couldn't say another word for a long time.He didn't know how long the bullet in his mind could drag on, he didn't know if he could get Ruan Wei back this time, he didn't even know...how he was going to stand up now.

He was afraid, he was afraid that if Chen Yu called, he would never see her again.

Ye Jingxuan didn't move, everyone in the room was silent, and everyone didn't know how to speak.They knew that the Ye family was important, and so were the brothers, but Ye Jingxuan's life would be worse than death if Ruan Wei was to be sacrificed in exchange for the safety of the Ye family.

A Li's voice was choked with sobs, he gave up struggling, and told Ye Jingxuan: "Sister Wei left a word, she said... let third brother just think that nightmare is real."

Just when she was really burnt to death in that fire when she was ten years old, because at that time everything hadn't started, Ye Jingxuan was able to pull back with all her heart.

After hearing these words, Ye Jingxuan suddenly turned his chair and sat with his back to them for a long time. No one knew what his expression was, but he seemed to be holding back something, bent down, and gasped for breath.

The people next to him were afraid that he would have a headache, so they asked softly, "Third Brother..."

Ye Jingxuan leaned back on the chair and closed his eyes, shaking his head to signal that they don't need to say anything.

Everyone was quiet, and some people couldn't stand it anymore, turned their faces and looked up at the sky, and their eyes turned red.

Fang Sheng came back in a hurry, but it was still difficult to rush in: "It's too dangerous to take off now, and the control tower won't give orders."

There was already a strong wind blowing outside, but the rain still did not fall.Ye Jingxuan turned to look at the time, suddenly remembered that it was last night, Ruan Wei was sitting by the bed and had been looking at the clock in the bedroom, she was not looking at the time, she was counting down.

From the moment she said goodbye to Yan Rui, she had made a decision. The whole thing started because of her, and she could no longer drag Ye Jingxuan down.

He really hated her at this moment, Ruan Wei was always stubborn, she looked weaker than those roses, but her heart was harder than anyone else.Even those flowers still have roots attached to them, but until now, she still refuses to rely on anyone.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was oppressive, Fang Sheng couldn't make a decision without authorization even standing at the door, so he looked at Ye Jingxuan and asked what to do next.

A Li couldn't stand the atmosphere anymore, so he struggled to shake off the people on both sides and said, "Third Brother, I arranged for Sister Wei to board the rubber boat on the east coast. They will go north and continue to transfer. If everything goes well, Wei My sister must have already arrived in the city..."

He said everything in one go, the person to respond, the specific route, but Ye Jingxuan didn't seem to be listening at all.

He didn't even look at A Li, and suddenly got up and walked out. Fang Cheng followed, only to hear him order: "Whether you have permission to fly or not, take off immediately."

At this time, it was too late to tell the people on the road to stop Ruan Wei, he had to rush to Mucheng in a faster way.

Everyone's expressions changed, and they rushed over to stop him: "Third brother! No way!"

Ye Jingxuan turned around and repeated: "I said to take off immediately and return to Mucheng."

Everyone looked at Fang Sheng, begging him for a way to persuade the third brother, the most afraid of thunder and lightning during the take-off and landing process, it is no joke.

But Fang Sheng took a deep breath and said, "Yes, third brother."

Up to now, everyone had no other choice, they lined up on both sides and watched Ye Jingxuan silently.

He rubbed his forehead, controlled his tone and explained to them: "Listen clearly, this time the president wants to clean up the house, and he will kill the grass and roots if he wants to do it. If I lose, the whole family will not even think about running away, so, While you still have your own escape routes, choose for yourself, and those who don’t want to can leave. Follow me and get on the plane within 10 minutes.”

After speaking, he pulled off a coat and walked out quickly, never looking back.

Aunt Fu also came out when they went downstairs, and she waited at the door with the servants from the old house.Ye Jingxuan glanced at her and said, "I'll go and bring Ah Ruan back."

Aunt Fu was not surprised at all, her expression was still the same as usual, ready to send him out.Now that life and death are on the line, no one knows what the consequences will be if they take the next step, but no one stops.

Aunt Fu looked behind him, seeing that there were quite a few of them, she let out a long smile.

There are many trees in the yard, the wind is strong, and the rustling sound is extremely shrill.Aunt Fu was the same as usual, nagging that she should be careful on rainy days, and then asked someone to come over with a bouquet of purple roses.

She was old, and like this house, she had been stationed quietly for decades, she handed the flowers to Ye Jingxuan and motioned him to take them to Ruan Wei.

Aunt Fu's voice trembled and was almost extinguished by the wind, but everyone present heard it clearly.

She said: "Leave the family affairs to me, don't worry, I will bring people to prepare, and the wedding will be held when Ruan girl comes back."

Everything was exactly the same as the day they went to Fangyuan.

Ye Jingxuan and his party quickly rushed to the airport, and the private jet was already on standby.

The weather was unairworthy, and the captain finally came in to ask for instructions if he really wanted to forcefully take off in disregard of the instructions from the control tower.

Ye Jingxuan nodded and didn't want to explain anymore. He watched the lightning flashes outside the window, leaned back on the headrest, and suddenly asked for a glass of water.

Fang Sheng was sitting on the seat behind him. Seeing Ye Jingxuan take out the painkiller, this time he swallowed it with water without hesitation.

Nine deaths, overcoming thorns and thorns, just because of one person, he can be invincible.

So he said that Odysseus is not a hero, and the reason why people win is because they have no choice.

That night, Lanfang and the two adjacent neighborhoods were all under martial law.Originally, no one dared to cross that street at night, it was not a good place.Especially in the past few years, the rumors have become more and more outrageous, and I can't wait to perform the drama that they cannibalize people without spit out their bones, but anyway, before tonight, all of this is too far away from ordinary people.

Only this time, everyone knew that something was going to happen. Lan Fang's scar had been hidden for too long, and sooner or later he couldn't hide it.

Warning signs were put up at the northern crossroads to remind vehicles to detour, but police cars were parked behind the huge screen.The later the time, the more tense the situation becomes. Everyone is staring at the archway in Lanfang. The old glass reflects the moonlight, shining a faint blue. After time, it has grown a little moist. Some people look at it coldly and shiver. , it is too much like the eyes of some kind of nocturnal creature, condescending and seeing fire.

No one knows when this night will end, and all parties hold their breaths to wait for the opportunity, but after all, it has stood here for decades, and it is not so easy to fall.

The strangest thing is that Lanfang has been silent since nightfall, and the chaotic scene that everyone expected did not appear at all.The reality is not to make a movie, the street lights on this street are on as before, and there are antique cloth-covered lanterns and bright red peonies embroidered outside the courtyard a little farther away.

They waited in the middle of the night but did not see blood flowing into rivers.

The whole street was surprisingly quiet.

Outside the gate of the rotten courtyard, there is a century-old locust tree, whose roots are intertwined in the ground, and after a long time, a bulge has been arched out of the ground.The Chen family who built Lanfang were worried that Fengshui would be broken. They did not dare to move it when they were building large-scale construction projects. They allowed it to grow. You can see the courtyard between.

Now only half of the lights in the courtyard were on, and the situation was tense. Chen Yu and his cronies all retreated to the Chuihua Gate, leaving only a few lonely paths.When Ye Jingxuan ventured to Mucheng, the first thing he did was to strike at Chen Yu's side, coordinating inside and outside, and surrounded the entire ruined courtyard.

The chairman's people can't get out or come in, but this is Chen's place after all, several hall masters nearby rushed over to stop Ye Jingxuan, and they all gathered at the gate of the courtyard.

There was a long queue of vehicles, and there were people on both sides of the street. Unfortunately, there was no result for two hours.

Fang Sheng rushed in, forcing out those who blocked the way. He entered with Ye Jingxuan's words, the meaning was obvious: "This is a personal enmity between the Ye family and the president. There is no need for other people to die. People who have nothing to do with it get out of the way as soon as possible."

Everyone knew in their hearts that Ye San was really crazy, and if he was driven into a hurry, he would absolutely ignore the pressure of the police and shoot the street.So everyone was loyal to the president in face, and pretended to be the past, even if they were benevolent, they naturally poured water everywhere.

Fang Chengqing opened a road directly to the Chuihua Gate, and Ye Jingxuan walked all the way in, but saw Chen Yu coming out.
