Chapter 74
It wasn't until the three people outside the woodpile walked away that there was no more sound, Zhao Shaolong slowly retreated to the water's edge, and quietly dived back into the water.

Fengcheng said it was not big, and it was not small.It took Zhao Shaolong a lot of time to dry his clothes, so when he reached the gate of the Chen family's old house, it was almost three o'clock in the afternoon.

The gate was locked tightly, obviously Chen Xi hadn't come home yet, and when he climbed into the courtyard, Zhao Shaolong was delighted to see that the Chen family's mansion had regained some of its former popularity.The trees, flowers and plants in the yard are neatly trimmed, not even a single dead branch or leaf can be seen. There are a few pink ducklings swimming in the pond. There are tables and chairs by the pond, and a few travel magazines are placed on the table.

The items in the yard are full of life at home.Young Master Chen doesn't have this kind of home style, Zhao Shaolong has to wonder if Chen Xi has already changed hands of the Chen family's old house.I remember the last time I came to this yard before I left. In such a messy situation, I didn’t need to add any background effects when shooting Liaozhai.

This kid must have not enough money to invest in the Eucommia project, so he sold the old house.Zhao Shaolong was about to withdraw, so as not to be misunderstood as a burglar.Chen Xi's voice came from outside the door, and at the same time there was a woman's voice that seemed very familiar.

Zhao Shaolong didn't want people to know that he was looking for Chen Xi, so he turned around and hid behind a bush.

The door opened and a black Toyota SUV drove in.Chen Xi opened the car door, turned around and closed the door.Another woman got out of the car carrying a large bag.Zhao Shaolong, who was peeking from behind a bush, frowned. This woman was actually Liu Dunmin's younger sister——Liu Rongyan.

How could she get so close to Chen Xi?
"Rongyan, today I'll let you try my handicraft, cold fern root. Look, how fresh are these fern roots we picked on the mountain?" Chen Xi smiled and looked at Liu Rongyan with warmth in his eyes.

Through the gaps between the branches and leaves, Zhao Shaolong saw that Chen Xi was dressed in plain gray casual clothes, his hair was neatly cut, and his whole image changed.The flamboyant attire of the past, the saucy tone of voice is not at all noticeable, elegantly like a teacher.

If he hadn't seen Liu Rongyan, who also had a happy and warm face beside him, Zhao Shaolong would definitely think that Chen Xi had been possessed by the soul of a certain literary youth.

When Chen Xi and Liu Rongyan carried a bag and walked towards the kitchen hand in hand, Zhao Shaolong began to doubt his own worldview and life.

Chen Xi, a wealthy second generation in a remote mountain town who speaks foul words, fell in love with Liu Rongyan, the daughter of a music professor in Kyoto and a petty bourgeois with a background in studying in several countries.

Zhao Shaolong wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, feeling that Fengcheng lost another local ruffian, the power of love is really great, it really can make people reborn.

Chen Xi and Liu Rongyan made cold fern root salad, opened a bottle of red wine and ate by the pond.Chen Xi carefully twirled a speck of dust off Liu Rongyan's hair and said:
"Rongyan, I didn't mean to embarrass your brother on purpose. The project I cooperated with him was facilitated by Shaolong, and he owns half of the shares. Before he comes back, I can't resell Tianzhu Mountain. This company offers The price is so generous, two hundred million, as long as I get in touch with Shaolong, I think he will definitely agree."

Liu Rongyan smiled and said: "Actually, my brother is short of funds for the development of the islands in South Asia. He has tried everything he should think of, and he is eager to cash out this investment when he has not collected the funds for the shares. He is good at everything, but he has a big heart." , I always want to reach the sky in one step. Leave him alone, just do what you want, and I support you."

Chen Xi took a sip of his wine and said, "All the money has been invested in the mountains. It's really difficult. If he is really in trouble, how about I sell this house and give him some money."

Liu Rongyan smiled and leaned her head on Chen Xi's shoulder and said, "Why did you sell the house to help him? Do you have a good relationship with him?"

"I don't have a good relationship with him, but I don't want to make our relationship bad because of this. Listening to what you said about traveling abroad, I'm obsessed. It would be great if we could go together."

After listening to Chen Xi's words, Liu Rongyan had a happy smile on her face again, "Chen Xi, don't worry, we can go anywhere when this project is on track. By the way, I will go to the province with my brother in the afternoon. City, it may take two or three days to come back. Keep an eye on the construction on the mountain these days."

Chen Xi nodded and said, "Don't worry, there won't be any problems if I'm watching. Let's not talk about it, I learned a song these days, let me sing it to you."

"Well, you sing, I listen."

Chen Xi held Liu Rongyan's shoulder lightly with his hands, and sang in a low voice:

I want to use a paintbrush,
Draw a big house, draw a big window,

Draw a cute mi.Draw another you, and draw another me.

Draw a stove, draw a fire, you and I in the picture, born and lived together.

…………

Liu Rongyan leaned on Chen Xi's shoulder, did not speak, and listened quietly.

Zhao Shaolong behind the short tree looked at their backs, full of thoughts.I personally promoted the cooperation between Liu Dunmin and Chen Xi, and also promoted Liu Dunmin's participation in the development of South Asian islands.The fruit now is that Liu Dunmin wanted to cash out the funds to kill Chen Xi.

With Liu Rongyan's good family conditions and the mentality of wandering and traveling, it is impossible to participate in Liu Dunmin's matter.What's more, it can be seen that she also really likes Chen Xi.Taking a step back, assuming Liu Rongyan participated, since such a vicious plan has been made, there is absolutely no need for her to act like this now.

If I hadn't heard the conversation between Liu Dunmin and those two Shandong men, Chen Xi's death by a few rocks falling from the cliff might have become an accident that would forever bury the truth.

After answering a phone call, Liu Rongyan was picked up by a car that drove to the door of Chen's house.Chen Xi watched the car disappear at the end of the street before returning to the chair by the pond and sitting down.

Zhao Shaolong coughed twice, and walked out from the bushes.Chen Xi looked back and saw Zhao Shaolong shouting: "Shaolong, you are finally back! Are you healed? I miss me to death." After speaking, he got up from the chair and was hugged by a bear.

"You are so romantic every day, have you forgotten what your last name is? You still remember me?" Zhao Shaolong picked up the red wine on the table, took a big sip, and looked at Chen Xi with a smile.

Chen Xi patted Zhao Shaolong's shoulder hard and said: "You have seen it. I like her. Really, I have never felt like this before. I want to marry her."

Zhao Shaolong smiled and said, "Give me the phone."

The two sat by the pond, Zhao Shaolong dialed Xie Wanqiu's number in front of Chen Xi, exchanged a few words with Xie Wanqiu after the connection, and then turned the phone into hands-free mode.

"Brother Qiu, do you know what relationship Liu Dunmin has with a man named Haitang in the Northeast?"

Xie Wanqiu said on the phone: "You're talking about Qiu Haitang from the old Gelaohui. After Yan Dabeard disappeared, now the Gelaohui is headed by Qiu Haitang. Liu Dunmin and the Gelaohui are old partners. They used to do those unseemly things in the three eastern provinces Didn’t I tell you about the light? I heard that Liu Dunmin has found an overseas businessman to buy the eucommia base of Tianzhu Peak. If the price is right, let your brother sell it. You and your brother are still young, earn some money It’s all about the money, don’t cooperate with such a cunning and unrefined person in the future.”

Zhao Shaolong covered the phone with his hand and asked Chen Xi, "Did you reject Liu Dunmin's proposal to sell the Eucommia plantation base?"

Chen Xi nodded and said, "Yes, I firmly disagreed at the time. Now that you come back, it will be fine, the price is quite reliable, shall we sell it?"

Zhao Shaolong let go of his hand covering the phone, and said to the phone: "Brother Qiu, Qiu Haitang helped Liu Dunmin find two people from the Northeast to ambush on the cliff at the entrance of Tianzhu Peak. It is said that there are some big rocks on the cliff. There was a Toyota SUV going through there. They planned to push the stone down and kill the people in the vehicle when the vehicle passed by."

Xie Wanqiu Sen laughed coldly from the other side of the phone, "It must be that your brother is not enlightened and doesn't want to sell the Eucommia Base? You just recovered from your injuries, don't move around, tell your brother to hide first. I will call Iron Tower immediately. Bring someone over, don't turn off the phone, and keep in touch at any time."

After turning on the speakerphone, there was a beeping sound, Xie Wanqiu had already hung up the phone.

Chen Xi stared at the phone on the table, his lips trembled slightly, and his face was pale.

If it weren't for Zhao Shaolong, Chen Xi might have lost all his wealth by now and was sleeping on the streets.Zhao Shaolong is his best friend and best brother, there is no reason to deceive him at all.

Zhao Shaolong looked at the distraught Chen Xi, let out a long breath, and finally said:

"Chen Xi, am I your brother?"

Chen Xi lowered his head and said, "Of course."

Zhao Shaolong asked again: "If someone wants to kill me now, what will you do?"

Chen Xi raised his head suddenly, his pale face recovered a little blood, "Then I will kill him."

Zhao Shaolong looked solemn, "Do you really want to marry Liu Rongyan?"

Chen Xi nodded vigorously, "She must not know about this, Rong Yan is not that kind of person."

Zhao Shaolong patted him on the shoulder with a stern expression, "Then someone wants to kill my brother now. Chen Xi, be prepared to comfort your fiancée, their family may have a funeral tomorrow."
