the knife of love

Chapter 78 Funeral, send him one last ride

Thyme was seized that afternoon, and Lao Mai was taken away by the police handling the case.

Ye Zi called Guan Lue from Yunnan, asked about the general situation, and learned that Lao Mai was also in trouble, she was somewhat worried, but she was not worried about Lao Mai, but asked: "Ninth brother, you should be fine. .”

Guan smiled slightly: "Me? It's nothing more than a customer died in the back alley of Thyme. It's enough to save face by letting Lao Mai go with them."

This matter will not cause too much trouble, Su Hongzhi's purpose is only to kill Chi Feng, everyone knows this in their hearts.

Ye Tan breathed a sigh of relief, paused, and said, "Fan Qingyan also knows about Chi Feng's death. He just called me and wants to go back to Yunling with me."

Guan Lue thought for a while: "Chi Feng's case will not be concluded so quickly, but Fan Qingyan is his brother-in-law after all, so he should come here to clean up his funeral affairs."

"What about Chi Feng's eldest wife? She came to my room early in the morning and cried a lot, and I just sent her away."

Guan Lue couldn't help pinching the peak of his nose with his hand.

The eldest wife Chi Feng is not a good lord either. Her father was also from Jiurongtai before his death, and his qualifications are higher than Chi Feng's, so his eldest wife can be regarded as a person who grew up in the gang. The feelings for Chi Feng are real, but his stomach doesn't live up to expectations, and after so many years with Chi Feng, he hasn't been able to have a son or a half for him.

"Du Hong has suffered a lot of grievances with Chi Feng over the years. Let her come here together. And didn't Fan Lili leave Chi Feng with a daughter before? It's the last bit of blood in the Chi family. Ask Fan Qingyan to take that child with her." Bring them together."

"Okay, I got it!" Ye Tan accepted the order, and Guan Lue took a sigh of relief on the phone.

"When Chi Feng's case is over, you can arrange for someone to arrange a decent funeral for him in Yunling."

……

In the past few days, the temperature in Yunling dropped, and the weather was gloomy all day long. Tang Jingcheng's right wound was a little painful.

After dinner in the evening, she played with Axi for a while, and went back to sleep after taking the medicine early in the evening. She didn't know how long she slept. She felt drowsily that the mattress behind her had collapsed, and there was breath coming towards her. His arms were wrapped around her waist from behind.

The breath is so familiar, but the arm is cold.

Tang Jingcheng was startled, this man was always scorching hot, why is it so cold today?
She moved back and pressed her back against his chest.

Guan Lue knew that the person in his arms had woken up, but he didn't speak. He just rested his chin lightly on the top of Tang Jingcheng's head.

Tang Jingcheng felt that this man was a little strange today, as if his usual vigor had suddenly disappeared.

"Why did you come here suddenly?" she asked.

There was no sound behind him, and it took a long time before he answered: "I want to come..." The voice was obviously hoarse.

Tang Jingcheng's heart skipped a few beats, and he secretly smiled at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't turn around, he just arched his body like a shrimp, so that he could stick closer to him.

The two of them lay in that hugging position for a while, the woman in their arms was rarely so peaceful, Guan slightly absorbed the warmth of her body, and his chin rubbed against the top of her hair.

"Why did you go to bed so early today?"

"It's too cold. After taking medicine, I feel sleepy and want to go to bed early."

"How does the wound feel? The weather has been bad for the past two days, do you feel any pain?"

"..." Tang Jingcheng remained silent.

Guan sighed slightly, and calmly kissed the base of her ear: "Does it hurt?"

"Fortunately."

But he was in pain, and his arms wrapped around Tang Jingcheng even tighter, and without speaking, Tang Jingcheng became more and more sure that there was something wrong with this man today, and slowly turned around in his arms.

The two faced each other, and Tang Jingcheng asked, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

"Is it because of Chi Feng?"

"You knew already?"

"Yaba told me, and I also read the newspapers, but I didn't expect him to end up like this in the end." Although Tang Jingcheng didn't know how many things were involved in it, she was not interested in knowing, but just reading the newspapers was enough. I can feel that Chi Feng's fate is somewhat sad.

"Now that you know, why didn't you call me today?"

"Why do I ask you? Just because he shot me once?" Tang Jingcheng smiled lightly.

If this matter were changed to someone else, she might have been elated and gloated. After all, Chi Feng's shot made her suffer so much, and it's still unknown whether the right arm can recover, but Tang Jingcheng, as the person involved, can be anything. It didn't happen.

During this period of time, Chi Feng fled outside, and she never cared about whether he was dead or alive, and she never even asked Guan Lue for any news about him.

Now that Chi Feng is dead and there is a lot of noise, she doesn't care at all, as if this person has nothing to do with her.

She is such a temperament, too lazy, unwilling to make things and people too complicated, and she is not interested in knowing too complicated things, she is too lazy and lazy.

But it was her temper that made Guan slightly less troubled.

Ever since she was shot, she didn't cry out for pain, didn't press Guan Lue for the reason, didn't try to find out anything about Jiu Ronghui and him, and didn't argue about seeking revenge from Chi Feng, she just got shot for no reason. , Turned around the ghost gate and came back, her right hand was crippled, she didn't resent anyone.

She quietly stayed in this house to recover from her injuries, and stayed beside this man, allowing him to be within reach, but it was also easy for him to feel sorry for her.But it was this kind of non-pushing and non-arguing that made Guan Lue feel that she was unpredictable.

This woman always seems to have a lazy look, except for that Qiu Qiguan, no one else seems to be interested in her.

"Tang Jingcheng..."

"Ok?"

"You're actually pretty smart."

Use the laziest way to deal with everyone and things, and you won't be sad if you don't care.

Tang Jingcheng smiled idiotically: "Are you praising me? Thank you...but..."

"But what?"

"But it's useless for me to pay attention, I know that Chi Feng is your man, and I happen to understand you..."

That day in Heyuan, even if Ye Tan's men caught Chi Feng on the spot, Guan Lue might not have killed him.

Tang Jingcheng knew this man well, he valued love and righteousness, and Jiurongtai also had the rules of Jiurongtai, so after she was injured, she never mentioned asking him to seek revenge from Chi Feng, she didn't want to embarrass him, and his position was also important. He is not allowed to do anything that breaks his promise.

At the beginning, the entire Jiurongtai almost believed that Fan Lili's death was caused by Guan Lue's people. He was ruthless first. If Chi Feng only crippled Tang Jingcheng's arm, Guan Lue would kill them all. Then he was ruthless. rear.

"Guan Lue, you have your own position and principles that you must uphold. I don't want you to offend more people for me, not to mention that I'm not an important person to you." Tang Jingcheng smiled falsely, " You said that in Heyuan that day, I was just a pastime for you to sleep once in a while, we all don't cross the distance!"

Guan Lue simply had nothing to refute.

Tang Jingcheng looked into his dark eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up again, and the conversation suddenly changed: "What? You came here so late and planned to hug me and chat?"

This terrible woman.

Guan slightly smiled, wrapped her waist around her and pressed her down.

When Guan Lue bumped into it, Tang Jingcheng couldn't help taking a deep breath. She admitted that she enjoyed this feeling, pinched her nails on his psoas muscles, opened her starry eyes slightly, and told herself that she was just greedy for this man's body , she doesn't have to ask about the rest.

After finishing the work, Tang Jingcheng finally went to the bathroom to take a quick shower, and when he came back wrapped in a nightgown, he saw Guan Lue sitting on the bedside smoking a cigarette. And Zhang Zhang.

She couldn't help feeling hot on her face, the feeling that this muscular body was entangled with her just now still lingered, and her heart swayed again.

Guan slightly raised her head to catch the squinting expression in Tang Jingcheng's eyes. She seemed to have been caught doing something wrong, so she immediately raised her eyebrows, and pretended not to care, she casually wiped her wet hair with a towel.

Guan slightly snickered.

Ever since he saw this woman in Tengchong, she always looked at him with this prey-looking gaze all the way here.

"Have you cleaned yourself up?"

"Well, not in the future!"

"No what?"

"What do you think?" Tang Jingcheng glared at him angrily, "Next time you can't start without a condom!"

Guan thought for a while: "Yes, as long as you are okay!"

"Bah!" She would say this word when she was in a hurry.

Guan Lue couldn't help laughing, as if the haze of the night dissipated a lot in an instant.

"Come here!" He pinched his cigarette and patted the place next to him.

"What?"

Guan said nothing, took her hand and pulled him to his side, took the towel from her hand, and began to help her wipe her wet hair little by little.

"Where is Chi Feng's funeral?"

"Yunling, he was originally from Yunling." Guan Lue replied while wiping his hair, "Why are you asking this?"

"It's nothing, I'll take a look when I think of it." After all, he made her lose an arm.

The man wiping his hair behind him stopped.

Tang Jingcheng turned around and asked him, "Is it inconvenient?"

"No." Guan Lue turned her around again, and continued to wipe her hair with his hands, "If you want to go, I'll ask someone to arrange it, but the case is not closed so quickly, and it may take a few days."

……

Lao Mai came out of the bureau at noon the next day.

The investigation results from the superiors have come out, and Chi Feng was indeed killed by falling from a building, but this matter has no direct connection with Thyme, it's just that the superiors always have to go through the motions, and Thyme was ordered to suspend business for a week for rectification.

Alai was in charge of appeasing the emotions of Thyme employees, and Lao Mai did not come forward directly.

There was still no movement from Su Hongzhi's side, and Guan Lue also stood still.

No matter how tense the matter is, the death is the most important thing, we have to wait until Chi Feng's funeral is settled.

Two days later, Ye Qin arrived in Yunling with Fan Qingyan and Du Hong. The little girl also came, and Lao Mai took someone to pick them up at the airport.

In the evening, Guan Lue held a banquet at the General's Mansion, which is also owned by Jiurongtai, and several principals with status on Yunling's side were also present.

Everyone knows the seriousness of the matter, and everyone in Jiurongtai knows that Chi Feng did not support Guan Lue's superior position at the beginning, and he has often opposed Guan Lue in the past few years. In addition, Chi Feng tied his two women a few days ago , one of them was shot, and this matter has already been spread in the bottom.

Now that Chi Feng fell to his death in the Jiurong Terrace for no reason, normal logic would think that this was the hand of Guan Lue.

Elimination of dissidents is the only way to stabilize the internal situation. This is an eternal truth, so the bosses, big and small, all feel that this man is going to make a move. Chi Feng is the first strike, and there should be a second and third strike later. It depends on whose head these knives will eventually fall on.

But some things are cysts in the dark, bleeding and festering, and everyone is friendly on the surface.

All the principals at the table naturally expressed their relief to Fan Qingyan and Du Hong, and everyone looked sad, as if the dead were members of their family.

Only Guan Lue talked the least. He sat on the main seat from the beginning to the end, eating quietly, and only spoke a few words to the little girl.

At that time, the little girl was sitting next to him. She was too young. It was the first time she ate on such an occasion.

Guan Lue served her a bowl of soup himself, and asked the kitchen to make two desserts that children like to eat.

"What's your name?"

"Tongtong..."

"How old?"

"I just turned five years old during Chinese New Year." The little girl stretched out a hand, her eyes were wet, ignorant and fragile.

Guan Lue looked into her eyes and felt unhappy. She was only five years old, so young, but her parents were no longer around.

"Good girl, eat, finish this soup." Guan Lue pushed the bowl over.

The little girl looked at Guan Lue timidly, not daring to eat it, so Guan Lue picked up the bowl, spoon by spoon, and fed the bowl of soup to the little girl in person in front of everyone. Wiped her mouth.

"Is it enough? Not enough and more."

"That's enough, thank you uncle." The little girl smiled, and Guan Lue also smiled.

The principals next to him all heaved a sigh of relief, it was Guan Yue's first smile after the whole meal.

When returning from the General's Mansion, the driver was driving, and Ye Tan was in the co-pilot.

Guan Lue sat in the back seat with a silent expression.

"Have Fan Qingyan and Du Hong settled down?"

"Yes, I have already settled down, and I will go to the police station tomorrow to claim the body."

"Have you bought Chi Feng's cemetery?"

"In the afternoon, I went to choose a piece myself. According to your request, Brother Jiu, it faces southwest."

To the southwest is the piece of Yunnan. Chi Feng has been staying there for the past few years. It is unlikely that the body will be transported back now. Guan Lue can only choose such a cemetery for him.

"Let's deal with the funeral as soon as possible, and that child, what's his name?"

"Tong Tong."

"Yes, Tongtong, let her follow Fan Qingyan after she goes back. After all, Fan Qingyan is her uncle, so it is more appropriate for him to be Tongtong's guardian. In addition, Chi Feng's property in Yunnan during his lifetime, if it is in compliance with the regulations, leave it to him. Come down, divide it into two shares, give one to Du Hong, and transfer the other to Tong Tong's name."

"But Tongtong is too young, she doesn't understand anything now."

"I know, she may not understand now, but one day she will understand everything."

When she grows up a bit, she will know what kind of family she was born in, who her father is, who her mother is, why they all died, and why they must die!
……

The next day Fan Qingyan and Du Hong went to the police station to claim Chi Feng's body.

The funeral was scheduled to be two days later, and the funeral posters had already been sent out in advance, and all the famous principals in Jiurongtai had to rush back to Yunling, which was the last trip to see Chi Feng off.

The funeral was arranged by Ye Tan, and it was done very well. Du Hong received the gift as a widow.

Because of Chi Feng's special status, the funeral didn't invite too many irrelevant people, most of them were from Jiurongtai, but Su Hongzhi and Su Zhan actually came around noon...
