Chapter 49

On the TV screen, Maquina was being interviewed by the reporter, and he spoke with great eloquence to the camera: "...the commercial policy that the government has always adopted is to encourage free trade, respect market laws, advocate survival of the fittest, and support emerging high-tech industries, but for a certain The market operation of these powerful local consortiums, the government will not intervene in any form..."

The reporter asked: "Does your statement mean something? The Cheng family, the largest local Chinese consortium, just announced that their plan to issue bonds in the international market has received the full support of the government. What's your comment?"

Maquina smiled and said: "The country's credit also has a certain amount, which cannot be abused. I believe that the Cheng family has the ability to solve their current problems. The survival and development of enterprises must operate according to their own business laws, and the government has no right to replace them. Any business or individual pays the bill..."

Cheng Yuan suddenly showed a sad smile, and said angrily, "Understood!"

The second sister didn't understand the situation for a while: "A Yuan, what's wrong?"

Cheng Yuan said bitterly: "Now I know why Mr. Fei supported my proposal... because both he and Uncle Qi expected that I would lose! Ma Kui Na!" Cheng Yuan smashed the water glass on the ground heavily, full of anger .

The second sister also understood the truth of the matter, and stood there in a daze.

Uncle Qi walked into Pippi's ward with a cane, and said with a relaxed look, "I heard that you were beaten, Uncle Qi came here to see you! How is your injury?"

Pippi smiled wryly, "I'm useless myself, so I can't blame others."

"I've got some news for you. Your uncle lost. He lost to Maquina. This time it's a crushing defeat. He doesn't even have a chance to stand up."

Pippi asked in surprise: "Maquina? How could it be Maquina, hasn't he been helping Cheng Yuan?"

Uncle Seven schemingly said: "No, he is not helping Cheng Yuan, he is just using the list in Cheng Yuan's hand to keep the Cheng family. His political career has long been inextricably linked with the Cheng family. In other words, to keep Cheng's is to keep himself. Pippi, let me tell you, I may come out to clean up the mess, you should heal your injuries quickly, and come and help Seventh Uncle. Seventh Uncle needs you very much now."

Pippi looked at him blankly, with complicated emotions.

The second sister came to her senses, pulled Cheng Yuan into the car, and said, "I'll go out to see Yuna's dentist, and we're going to the capital now. The person I'm looking for can match Ma Kuina in the South Asian political arena." Confrontation. I know, he has been Maquina's political enemy. We can work with him to bring Maquina down."

Cheng Yuan said blankly: "Second sister, you know, I don't want to do this!"

"Ayuan, listen to me, you can only use the same method to deal with despicable people! Otherwise, father's revenge will never be avenged."

"I already have some evidence, and I think if I can find his weakness, I will use another way to deal with this bastard!"

"What way?" Second Sister asked while driving.

"I haven't made up my mind yet...I want to be quiet, let me be quiet!"

The second sister gave him a sad look and slowed down the car a little.Yuna shouted from behind: "Mom, I'm thirsty! I want ice cream."

The second sister braked slowly, turned her head and said to Yuna: "Yuna's teeth have been eaten, and I can't eat ice cream anymore."

Yuna said mischievously: "You promised, I will go to the dentist obediently, and you will buy me ice cream."

"That didn't say I'd buy it for you now."

Yuna flattened her mouth, "Mom is a liar, words don't count."

The second sister stopped the car and said, "It's sunny outside, you stay with uncle in the car, and mother is going to buy ice cream for you."

Cheng Yuan frowned, looking anxious.Yuna leaned on his shoulder and said, "Uncle, tell me a story."

Cheng Yuan turned around and pinched little Yuna's nose and said, "Uncle is not in the mood right now, you'd better wait for your ice cream, kid!"

Cheng Yuan took out his cigarette case and wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm his mood.

Yuna immediately said: "Uncle, how come you have learned to smoke? By the way, adults are not allowed to smoke in front of children!"

Cheng Yuan smiled wryly and said, "Okay, uncle will go outside to smoke, you stay in the car obediently, I will be back in a while."

Cheng Yuan got out of the car, went to the shade of a tree to smoke a cigarette, and fell into deep thought again.

The second sister came out of the shop with an ice cream in her hand, Cheng Yuan shook the cigarette in her hand at the second sister, the second sister nodded and walked towards the car.Yuna lay behind the car window and waved happily at her mother, unable to hear what she said.

At this moment, the car suddenly exploded, and the whole car turned into a huge ball of fire. The flames burst out of Lao Gao, and there was a sea of ​​flames around...

Cheng Yuan and the second sister were stunned at the same time. The ice cream they just bought hit the ground, and the second sister rushed towards the exploding and burning vehicle like crazy, shouting hysterically: "Yuna! Yuna!"

Cheng Yuan hugged the second sister from behind, and the second sister screamed and struggled desperately while punching and kicking.At this moment, the car exploded again, and the blast blasted Cheng Yuan and his second sister to the ground.

"Yuna! Yuna!" The second sister beat the ground, shouting hoarsely, as if she was bleeding.The second sister cried for a while, then fainted feebly.

Cheng Yuan picked up his second sister and ran towards the nearest hospital.After setting up the second sister, Cheng Yuan stood guard at the door of the ward, and the wound on her forehead had been bandaged properly.Seeing the doctor come out of the ward, Cheng Yuan asked with concern: "How is it?"

"Miss Cheng has been sedated, she just fell asleep."

Cheng Yuan warned: "She is too emotionally unstable now, you must send someone to look after her tonight."

"Don't worry, according to the current dosage, she won't wake up within twelve hours."

At this time, a police officer came to Cheng Yuan, "Mr. Cheng, are you free now?"

Cheng Yuan nodded, turned around and followed the police officer to the other end of the corridor in the ward.

The police officer said: "After a preliminary investigation on the scene, the car explosion was caused by a time bomb placed in advance. Both the explosive and the timing trigger device are military products."

Cheng Yuan muttered to himself, "It's a military product again."

"What? Do you have any clues to offer?"

Cheng Yuan shook his head slowly, and at the same time, the scene of Wu Yue being shot flashed before his eyes.

"I need to confirm with you the identities of the two bodies in the car."

"One is my driver, and the other is my second sister's daughter Yuna. She goes to the pier with me in the car."

"The situation at the time of the explosion was..."

Cheng Yuan said angrily: "They calculated the time, the car will explode before we reach the pier. If it wasn't for little Yuna who wanted to eat ice cream, I would have been burnt to charcoal now. Little Yuna died for me." After he vented, he fell into even greater pain.

Outside the island, the hotel where Lida stayed.An image of the explosion scene appeared on the TV screen, "...Following yesterday's announcement of the setback of the IPO fundraising plan, the Cheng family, the largest Chinese consortium in the locality, was hit hard again. This morning, an explosion occurred on Jinchan Island where the Cheng family lives , a luxury RV was blown up on the spot. According to relevant sources, the deceased was a six-year-old girl. It can be seen at the scene that the license plate number of the RV that was blown up belonged to the Cheng family. The police refused to disclose further details..."

Lida's eyes widened and she shouted, "My God, it can't be Yuna!"

Mr. Fei was also extremely shocked. He called and asked, "Seventh brother, what's going on? I saw the little girl was killed...ah, ah..." Mr. Fei closed the phone and said heavily, "It's Yuna, Cheng Yuan and Second Sister are fine!"

Tears welled up in Lida's eyes, and she called out sadly: "Yuna!" She stood up abruptly and said, "No, I want to go back to Jinchan Island!"

Mr. Fei got up and grabbed his daughter: "Lida, I understand how you feel, but it's not suitable now, let's wait a little longer!"

Lida stared at her father, and shouted angrily: "What are you waiting for, wait until Maquina sends someone to kill Cheng Yuan and the second sister? They are too inhumane. Yuna is so young, I just look at her I grew up. And the second sister, the second sister is so kind to me, she must be so sad now!"

"Lida, calm down. These tragedies now belong to the Cheng family and have nothing to do with our Fei family! I don't want you to be involved!"

Lida cried: "Then why did you send me to Jinchan Island back then! Now they are all like my relatives, I can't be like you, watching the tragedy happen and remain indifferent! Little Yuna, what a pity Already!"

Mr. Fei held his daughter in his arms and said comfortingly, "I know, I know, Dad feels bad too. If you want to go back, Dad will go back with you. Don't cry, don't cry..."

Just after the temporary meeting of the board of directors, Uncle Seven lay down by the swimming pool and asked his subordinates, "All the directors left?"

"Let's go! Seventh Uncle, we brothers have been waiting for you to come back!"

"I know. You all go down, I've been in the hospital too long and I want to chat with the mute."

The mute sat next to Uncle Qi.

Uncle Seven asked, "Mute, how many years have you been with me?"

The mute laughed, stretched out four fingers, and flipped over again.

Uncle Qi said with emotion: "Forty-five years, that is to say, I, Chengshi, have helped eldest brother for a full 45 years! Among the brothers, my eldest brother and I studied a lot. I always thought that my eldest brother was not as smart as me. I thought I would be Cheng's But before his death, Dad still chose the eldest brother. He may think that no matter how good I am, I am also a foreigner. He asked me to help the eldest brother... Although I was unwilling, I did it for the Cheng family. Regime change , financial turmoil, financial crisis... so many difficulties have been overcome one by one, but this man capsized at the place where he should not have capsized. Do you know why?"

The mute listened carefully and shook his head seriously.

"Because he is too easy to trust people. When he was young, he believed in such illusory things as family affection and friendship; and he was too distrustful of people. From the day his eldest son-in-law betrayed him, he has been suspicious of everyone around him, even His son will be sent to the United States to be raised. But he never imagined that the person he trusted the most was the one who killed him in the end!"

The mute looked at Uncle Seven nervously.

Uncle Qi seemed aggrieved and said: "Don't look at me like that, it's really not me! No matter how ruthless I am, Cheng Qi, I will never kill Big Brother or Ah Yuan! I admit that I have ambitions, and I have done many things against my will. But I know that I am nothing without Cheng's foundation! After a hundred years, I still want to put the memorial tablet in Cheng Cheng's ancestral hall. The only thing I can say to my ancestors in the future is that after my elder brother died, Cheng It was not destroyed in my hands! So, the only thing I can do now is to protect the Cheng Group for the Cheng family, no matter what method I use! In fact, I admire Cheng Yuan a lot, I don’t even know how my eldest brother died, He came back and found out, the younger generation is awesome! But what can he do if he finds out? He is still too young, and he used his fists before he was fully fledged, so he could only beat the teacher to death! I don't want to be this prince practicing boxing My teacher and father..."

Uncle Qi closed his eyes while talking, and the mute faithfully chased away the flying insects for him.

When he got home, the first thing Cheng Yuan did was to send Danli and the others safely out of Jinchan Island.Teng Zhi accompanied Danli to the hotel lobby with his luggage, and Cheng Yuan went up to meet him and said, "The car is already waiting for you at the door, and the driver will take you directly to the airport!"

Danley made a face and joked, "Is it safe?"

"It's my own car, and the driver is also mine. There is absolutely no problem."

"Just kidding. What happened to the Cheng family? Now everyone in BSC is terrified."

"Apologize to the partner you invited for me."

"Yuan, we are friends. As far as I am concerned, I am willing to stay and continue to support you. But you know, they are different!"

"I can understand, thank you anyway!"

"Unfortunately, this listing was not successful. I still believe that our previous work is valuable, and your family's business will eventually take the step of going public. This is the only way out."

Cheng Yuan nodded, then hugged Danli goodbye and watched him leave.

Teng Zhi answered the phone and said to Cheng Yuan: "Mr. Cheng, Uncle Qi is back, and he is convening a temporary board of directors!"

Cheng Yuan was stunned, and then said sarcastically, "I really can't wait."

At dusk, Cheng Yuan sat in front of the office window, looking at the sea, with a blank expression.Yuna's innocent voice and second sister's heart-piercing voice kept coming, as if they were right beside him, making him sad and frightened.

Cheng Yuan didn't notice the sound of the cane poking the ground behind him.Uncle Seven slowly came to Cheng Yuan's side and asked, "How is Second Girl doing now?"

Cheng Yuan didn't turn around, and said calmly: "Second sister is very bad, she is in the hospital. However, it seems that Uncle Seven is recovering from his illness."

Uncle Qi pretended to say, "Why is there no bodyguard outside the door? The most important thing for you now is safety."

Cheng Yuan said meaningfully: "With Seventh Uncle here, Ma Kuina's people will not kill him."

Uncle Seven paused, smiled wryly and sighed, "You know all about it."

Cheng Yuan never looked at Uncle Qi, and said: "When I checked the company you transferred money to the police, I found that although the company's business background was vague, the funds were extremely active. Moreover, I also found that the company was still involved with these companies. There is a close connection. It was just a suspicion at the time, but today I finally found out that it was Maquina’s black money account. He used us to launder money and turn over his political donations... I really want to know now, when did he start Started using the Cheng Group?"

"It should be mutual use. He has also done a lot of things for Cheng."

Cheng Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "Including murdering my father!"

Uncle Qi was silent for a while, and then said in a hoarse voice: "You can't beat him, your arms can't twist your thighs, and we can't beat them. The political situation is turbulent, the officials are corrupt, and doing business here. If you offend these high-ranking officials, you can only end up with Big brother will end up like that!"

Cheng Yuan said coldly: "I heard that the board of directors just met has elected a three-person group including you as the interim decision-maker of the Cheng Group. That is to say, any decision made by the board of directors in the near future will It must be signed by two members of the three-person group before it can be implemented... Uncle Qi, your efficiency is not high, you should let Maquina use the army, directly control the board of directors, abolish me, and then appoint yourself as the chairman .”

Uncle Qi said angrily: "A Yuan, since you like to tell the truth so much, then I will tell you the truth, you have already lost, and all I am doing now is just to give you a chance to step down with dignity."

Cheng Yuan said sadly: "I lost, you won. Seventh uncle, in your winning game, did you see little Yuna's blood?"

Uncle Qi was forced to retreat again and again by Cheng Yuan's momentum, and retorted: "I told you, I never had blood on my hands."

Cheng Yuan looked at him and said bitterly: "You have always said that you were not involved in the murder of my father. I would like to ask you now, if you knew about Maquina's conspiracy at that time, would you have saved my father like you did 15 years ago? "

Seventh Uncle: "..."

Cheng Yuan continued to denounce: "You keep saying that you want to clean up the mess for the Cheng family. In fact, you have been used by Ma Kuina and have become an indirect executioner! I really regret letting you go. I finally know what it means to raise a tiger."

Uncle Qi paused for a while and said: "You overestimate Uncle Qi! In fact, we father and son are just pawns on the chessboard. It's just that you are a pawn. From the day you started the list, you are doomed to end today; and I This old pawn has a long way to go, I will guard the Cheng family's ancestral property until the day my old bone enters the ancestral hall."

Cheng Yuan spoke softly, but firmly: "I won't let you succeed, no!"

Uncle Qi trembled, sighed and left.

Cheng Yuan gently pushed open the door of the second sister's room, but was surprised to find that there was no one on the bed.The second sister sat motionless behind the shadow by the window, like a statue.

Cheng Yuan walked over and said softly, "Second Sister, why did you get up? You really surprised me."

"I'm sick of lying there."

"The doctor said you won't wake up until more than ten hours later."

"I was awake the whole time."

"Do you want me to call the doctor?"

The second sister shook her head silently and said, "The doctor told me to sleep, but I can't sleep now. I want to wait here for you."
