Chapter 31

Cheng Yuan got up to leave, but Wu Yue shook her head and said, "No need, really no need, the more you do this, the more uneasy I feel!"

Cheng Yuan looked at her: "You seem a little depressed. I'm curious, what did you and your boyfriend say just now?"

Wu Yue seemed to be convincing herself, and said sadly: "As long as Li Kejin can come out, nothing else matters. I am looking at you and this hot pot now. I am thinking about the people and things in Beijing. I think I will go back, Maybe you can tell these things as a joke!"

"Are you talking about me and you? The joke between us? In your joke, am I a very attractive villain?" Cheng Yuan said with a good feeling about himself.

Wu Yue turned her head with a wry smile and ignored him.

Cheng Yuan asked softly: "What's wrong today? This doesn't look like Wu Yue!"

Wu Yue held back her sad tears, shook her head and said, "It's nothing."

Cheng Yuan looked at her carefully, Wu Yue avoided his gaze.

Cheng Yuan laughed and said, "It's not normal. I'm used to your way of speaking. If you don't scold me or laugh at me, I'm really not used to it..."

Li Kejin's sad words came to my heart immediately, and Wu Yue couldn't help but shed tears.

Cheng Yuan panicked: "Don't cry, why are you crying? It's not a parting for life and death! We will meet again in the future, and I will definitely go to Beijing to see you. By the way, do you think I will attend your wedding?"

Wu Yue said loudly: "This is impossible! Don't think I'm an idiot, don't think I don't think about anything! We have experienced so many things together, you know a girl like me must think about it!"

Cheng Yuan looked at Wu Yue who was crying in shock.

Wu Yue choked up and said: "I began to think that you are a demon, a devil in a bottle, I opened it, it was my bad luck..." Those pictures of Cheng Yuan and Cheng Yuan came to mind, Wu Yue intermittently Said: "Then I thought you were a savior, you could save me and Li Kejin from the fire and water. Then I thought you were a jerk, a playboy who had been defeated repeatedly. In just one month, you became what you are now. Your changes dazzled me, let me know what a wonderful life is, and the wonderfulness of life..."

Cheng Yuan was moved, and asked gently: "What do you think of me now?"

Wu Yue was stunned, with tears on her face, she smiled bewilderedly: "You can be considered a man!"

"What is a man?"

"Just a real man."

Cheng Yuan looked at Wu Yue with a moved face, the two of them were not as noisy as before, and they were so comfortable.With Wu Yue, there is no depression, and she doesn't have to think about so many complicated things, she makes herself simple.He is no longer Mr. Cheng, he doesn't have to deal with those messy things, let alone fight with some people, he just recovered his original self, so happiness rippled.

Wu Yue began to wake up, and said calmly: "It's just your life and your career, Li Kejin and I are beyond reach. I can only say that knowing you is our luck and our misfortune." Wu Yue took out Return the necklace to Cheng Yuan, "Thank you for the gift you gave me. When Li Kejin comes out, it is the best gift. Other than that, the rest is a burden!" Wu Yue began to eat hot pot, and Cheng Yuan looked at it without moving. Watching her sob, recalling what she just said, she also became inexplicably sad.The sensual Wu Yue made his heart skip a beat.

Cheng's villa.

The second sister looked at the photos one by one. She finished reading all the photos and returned them to Cheng Yuan who was sitting opposite her.Said calmly: "It's over!"

Cheng Yuan said in surprise: "You don't seem to be responding, do you see clearly? They are using Cheng's fleet to help smuggle people!"

The second sister still said lightly: "I know. What did you do?"

"I have called the police and the police have stopped their criminal activities!"

The calm second sister suddenly stood up and shouted hysterically: "Call the police? Humiliate Cheng's enterprise? This is your choice? Since you have already made your choice, why are you telling me?"

"Now it's just to stop! My report will not humiliate Cheng's company, on the contrary, I will make it come back to life! This incident prompted Uncle Qi to step down, and I want to reshuffle Cheng's business and reorganize it. Second sister , Cheng's will not collapse, we still have a chance. Because there are so many Chinese in the world supporting us, and so many companies, banks and our alliance, I want to bring Cheng's development on a better platform !Believe me!"

The second sister said coldly: "What about Mr. Fei? He is the sole partner of the shipping company. If you do this, he will probably face charges. Haven't you thought about Lida? She loves you so much! Mr. Fei , and the closest ally of our Cheng family for a hundred years!"

Cheng Yuan said stubbornly: "If he knows he committed a crime and wants to get a share of it, he is not our ally! If he is also kept in the dark, it will be his salvation, and I will do my best to compensate him!"

"How to compensate?" Second Sister asked.

Cheng Yuan paused and said: "I will marry Lida, and we will advance and retreat with Fei!"

The second sister was furious, "You are so naive, do you think this is justice? Where is justice? Hundreds of children starve to death in Africa every day, wars are fought in the Middle East every day, and many people die. Why don't you go ask for it for them? Justice? Don't forget, now the Cheng family relies on this ocean-going fleet to support them. Seventh Uncle will not be willing to retire like this. Uncle Fei is not the benefactor you imagined. They have worked hard in the mall for half their lives. old fox!"

Cheng Yuan suddenly said: "Second sister, you know, you actually know everything!"

The second sister sat down angrily and stopped talking.

Cheng Yuan said loudly: "You actually already knew what Uncle Qi and the others were doing! You have been avoiding this reality, or, father has been avoiding this reality too!"

The second sister said emphatically: "No, my father wants to change this reality. But, he is old! I don't want to see you like him, for the sake of ideals, justice and fairness, you have not yet succeeded!"

Cheng Yuan said confidently: "I won't! What I want is a war without gunpowder and peace without blood!"

The second sister's excited mood calmed down, and she seemed to be talking to herself worriedly: "I hope so."

Mr. Fei hung up the phone, his face ashen, got up and ran upstairs.

Lida asked in surprise, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"

Mr. Fei said anxiously, "Lida, pack up, we'll leave Golden Toad Island immediately!"

"Why? Tomorrow is the National Day Reception, won't you stay and participate?"

Mr. Fei gritted out a sentence through his teeth: "Cheng Yuan has called the police!"

Lida was stunned for a moment, then smiled wryly and said, "Father, this is not what I expected. As I said, Cheng Yuan has a sense of justice in him. He is different from you and Uncle Qi."

Mr. Fei was furious, and cursed: "Fuck the sense of justice! Now he's ruining my business. Cheng's own big ship is going to sink, and he's going to sink with Fei. I Don't fucking play with him. Come on, Lida!"

Lida stood still and said stubbornly, "I won't go!"

Mr. Fei said helplessly: "Aren't you leaving? Let me tell you, the Cheng family will be a big show tomorrow, most likely it will be Quan Wu Xing. If you don't leave, don't say that Dad didn't warn you!"

"Dad, what do you know?"

"I don't have time to explain to you now."

"Why? I'm your daughter!"

Mr. Fei spread his hands and said excitedly: "Where? There is no daughter of mine here. I only see a woman who has been dazzled by love! And she is a little woman!"

Lida cried and begged: "Father, if you know anything, tell me, I can't let anyone hurt Cheng Yuan, save him!"

Mr. Fei said coldly: "Okay, go to him first and ask him to save your father! Save the tens of millions of dollars I invested in the fleet!" Mr. Fei shook off his daughter's hand and went upstairs to pack his things.

Lida ran out crying, she broke into Cheng Yuan's office.Cheng Yuan was staring at a necklace in a daze.Lida walked over gently, looking at the necklace strangely.

Seeing Lida, Cheng Yuan said, "This is a gift from me to Wu Yue. She didn't want it. She said she didn't want to look up to my life. She just wanted to go back to Beijing with Li Kejin and live a normal life."

Lida called softly: "Cheng Yuan..."

Cheng Yuan didn't let Lida's thoughts be disturbed, and continued: "In fact, God arranged us in this world to perform our duties. There are small people who are willing to be ordinary, and there are powerful people who look down on all beings. On the top of the pyramid, there will always be only a few Those of us who have reached the top of the tower, shall we use the power in our hands to arbitrarily manipulate the life and death of others, or will we do the almost impossible rescue with a compassionate heart?" He looked up at Lida and asked, " What would you choose?"

Lida said solemnly: "I choose you!"

"You know it all?"

"Cancel tomorrow's reception, Uncle Qi won't let it go! And... my father!" Lida said anxiously.

Cheng Yuan smiled and said: "No, I will tell them tomorrow, and also tell the whole South Asia, what should the Cheng family do!"

"Ayuan..."

"Lida, I know you are doing it for my own good, thank you!" Cheng Yuan said sincerely while supporting Lida's shoulder.

Lida leaned over gently, and murmured: "A Yuan! No matter what decision you make, I... I will always be by your side."

Cheng Yuan hugged Lida uncomfortably, not knowing what to say to comfort her.

When Pippi saw Uncle Seven appearing in the reception room, he was very surprised. He walked over with a haggard face and said in a low voice, "Uncle Seven! Why are you here?"

Seventh Uncle smiled bitterly and said, "Today is National Day, and it is also a big day for Seventh Uncle to retire. Let me come to see you and see how you are doing now!"

Pippi looked at Seventh Uncle suspiciously, "Seventh Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it..."

Uncle Seven sneered, and said approvingly: "Pippi, it seems that Uncle Seven is right, you are indeed a talent. I'm here to tell you today that your prison life may be coming to an end... Seven Uncle gave you a chance, the key depends on how you grasp it..."

Pippi looked at Uncle Qi coldly and made a phone call to him.

In the police station, Wu Yue and Secretary Liu of the consulate were waiting for Li Kejin to be released. The TV on the wall broadcast the news of the day: "On the day of the National Day, the Cheng Group held a grand National Day reception on Jinchan Island. State Secretary Ma Kuina, Vice Minister of Commerce, Vice Minister of Import and Export Economy and Trade, and representatives of the six major banks will attend the reception. This is the first important appearance of Mr. Cheng Yuan after hosting the Cheng Group. It is reported that at this reception, he will announce relevant Important information about the future direction of Cheng's enterprise, and Mr. Cheng Qi, the veteran of Cheng's enterprise, will announce his retirement in a high-profile manner..."

At this time, the police came out and said to Wu Yue: "Miss Wu, this gentleman, there are still some procedures for Li Kejin's amnesty to be completed, please go back and wait for our notice!"

Wu Yue said anxiously: "Didn't you agree to amnesty on National Day today?"

"Yes, when will you finish the formalities?" Secretary Liu also said.

The policeman said ambiguously: "Because there are more people involved in the amnesty this time, and the affairs are more cumbersome, it's hard to say now, please wait for the notice!"

Wu Yue walked out with Secretary Liu listlessly.

Secretary Liu comforted and said, "It's not easy for you to reach this level. If you persist, you may have news tomorrow!"

Wu Yue cheered up and said: "Secretary Liu, thank you!" The two shook hands and said goodbye.Wu Yue was about to leave when an RV parked beside her. The second sister came out and shouted to her, "Miss Wu, wait a minute!"

Wu Yue stopped, and the second sister stepped forward and said, "Miss Wu, please do something for me."

Wu Yue blinked and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I would like to ask you to dissuade Ah Yuan from doing stupid things today, that would be very bad for him."

"You mean, let me persuade Cheng Yuan?" Wu Yue didn't believe what the second sister said.

"That's right! If Cheng Yuan insists on going his own way today, the consequence may be that he loses his status in Cheng's, and your fiancé's amnesty will come to naught!"

Wu Yue's eyes widened: "What?!"

The second sister said: "I'm not scaremongering, A Yuan is like his father, he has a character that would rather bend than bend. He wants to use his blood and courage to change the Cheng family, and I'm afraid he will have a bloody head!"

Wu Yue asked anxiously: "Where is he now?"

"At the reception. Miss Wu, go to my villa to change into a dress! Your dress is not suitable for the reception!"

Wu Yue stopped the second sister and said: "Second sister, I think it's better not to bother, I just call him! Besides, Mr. Cheng may not be willing to listen to me!"

The second sister said loudly: "No, you must attend this reception!" She sighed and said, "Because I can see that A Yuan cares about you very much!"

Wu Yue was so surprised that she didn't come back to her senses for a long time.

The second sister took her into the car and rushed to the villa.

37．Assassinated at a reception

Several luxury armored cars parked at the entrance of the reception, and Maquina rushed down with high spirits, grabbing the attention.

Cheng Yuan, Uncle Qi, Li Da, the directors and the dignitaries attending the reception stepped forward to greet them.Cheng Yuan and Ma Kuina hugged each other, and Cheng Yuan said softly from behind: "Please come to my villa first."

Maquina greeted others with a smile, and left with Cheng Yuan.Uncle Qi stood not far away and looked at their backs gloomyly, his brows were furrowed with his mind full of thoughts.

After sitting down in the villa, Ma Kuina's eyes stayed on the photo with Cheng Ren, staring blankly.

Cheng Yuan smiled and said, "I have never taken down this photo. When I was in trouble, seeing the smiles of you and my father gave me a lot of confidence!"

Ma Kuina said comfortably: "Child, it seems that you have done a good job in Cheng's. Today will be a very important day, so I must come!"

"Thank you! Thank you for supporting me all the time!" Cheng Yuan said sincerely.

Ma Kuina asked suddenly: "Why did your seventh uncle announce his retirement?"

"Because he knows that I will report the crime, he wants to use this method to let me let him go!"

Maquina asked puzzledly: "Report? What is it?"

Cheng Yuan was surprised: "Didn't Mr. Prosecutor tell you? It's a case of people smuggling by the fleet of the shipping company!"

Maquina looked heavy, slowly shook his head and said, "Be clear, what's going on?"

Cheng Yuan's heart suddenly turned cold. He remembered that when the prosecutor called him, he said that he had told Ma Kuina, but Ma Kuina didn't seem to know anything about it.

Maquina reassured: "Son! I'll call the prosecutor."

Cheng Yuan watched Ma Kuina put down the phone expectantly, and Ma Kuina said in a daze, "It seems that something happened to the prosecutor, and his subordinates couldn't find him!"

"What?" Cheng Yuan was shocked by this news.

"Son, don't worry, tell me, what do you know?"

"Uncle Qi, he not only wanted to murder me, he may have murdered my father..."

Maquina was also shocked, and quickly said: "Wait a minute, I will arrange an inspection of the fleet immediately! Besides the photos for the prosecutor, do you have any evidence in your hand?"

Cheng Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I put it in the safe in Penang!"

Maquina breathed a sigh of relief and said, "As long as there is evidence. Son, tell me, how much is the safe? I'll send someone to get it right away."

Cheng Yuan said it.Maquina made a quick call.

Although there were only two people in the office, the atmosphere was extremely tense. The sudden disappearance of the prosecutor made Cheng Yuan feel a little overwhelmed.

Anxious Maquina also lost his gentlemanly demeanor, opened his collar irritably, closed the phone and said disappointedly: "No way! They went to find the safe but it was empty, and they didn't find any evidence. Think about it, what evidence is there? "

On the contrary, Cheng Yuan calmed down and said soberly: "I understand, everything is done by the prosecutor. Since the day I encountered a car accident, the prosecutor has been bribed by Uncle Qi. He disclosed all my information to Uncle Qi, so all my investigations are almost transparent in front of Uncle Qi!"

Maquina jumped up against the case and scolded angrily: "You bastard! Why didn't I think of it!"

Cheng Yuan thought for a while and said, "Uncle Maquina, it may be dangerous outside now, I want someone to escort you out of here!"
