Chapter 62

"I admit, I lost! I was wrong! I'm sorry for your father, I'm sorry for the Cheng family. But, I'm going to retire soon, and my whole family is here. Don't, don't ruin me. I promise, I promise you, I will go back to the countryside and be an ordinary fisherman, and I will never have anything to do with the people and things here again!"

Cheng Yuan said fiercely: "You can't even trust the guarantee of a living person! You still have one night tonight, it's the Cheng family's grace to you!"

Cheng Yuan gets in the car.Maquina held on to Cheng Yuan's car door and patted the car window pitifully.

Wu Yue looked at Maquina outside the car, and at Cheng Yuan beside him, with a surprised expression on her face: "What is he going to do?"

Cheng Yuan sat in the car like frost, completely unmoved, and waved to the driver to drive.

Cheng Yuan's car drove away, and Ma Kuina staggered and was almost brought to the ground.Mr. Fei and Lida ran out, and Mr. Fei helped Maquina up and asked, "Mr. Maquina, what's wrong with you?"

Lida looked at the Chengyuan car going away, puzzled.

Ma Kuina laughed bitterly: "I want to go back, I want to go back! This time, I really want to go back!"

Mr. Fei watched Ma Kuina staggering away in amazement, and his heart sank.

Maquina returned home in a daze, and sat alone in the study, with a glass of whiskey and a just-written suicide note on the table.Maquina opened the drawer and took out a delicate pistol, drank the whiskey, stuffed the gun into his mouth, and closed his eyes.

Back at the villa, Cheng Yuan asked Wu Yue gently: "I didn't eat enough just now, do you want me to send someone to bring you some Chinese food?"

Wu Yue shook her head: "I'm not hungry."

"You have a good rest, I will arrange for you to go home tomorrow."

But Wu Yue said stubbornly: "I don't want to go home! I want to recall the past! I met a lot of people today, and I have a very strange feeling. I think I'm about to find something."

Cheng Yuan said lightly: "The past is not important to you, just forget it, maybe it's better this way."

"Are we really friends?" Wu Yue raised her head and asked.

Cheng Yuan lowered his head and thought for a while before replying: "If you don't want to go home, then I will arrange for you to go to the United States tomorrow, and your surgery should be done."

"No, I won't go to the United States, I won't go to the hospital!" Wu Yue became even more frightened.

Cheng Yuan asked patiently: "Then what do you want to do?"

Wu Yue didn't answer, looked around the villa and said: "I really seem to have been to this place, but I'm very scared. Do I want to sleep here at night?"

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to stand guard at the door for you, no one will come to hurt you! I'm going upstairs, good night!"

Wu Yue begged, "Can you stay with me a little longer?"

Cheng Yuan avoided Wu Yue's eyes, and said bitterly: "It's too late now." He turned around and walked to the door, then turned back and said, "I will send someone to guard your door, call them if you have anything to do. "Cheng Yuan left Wu Yue's room and gently closed the door.

Wu Yue sat alone on the bed, hugging the pillow, trying hard to recall some episodes, those scenes flashed in her mind intermittently...

Wu Yue burst into tears...

Cheng Yuan answered the phone in the bedroom and said coldly: "I see. By the way, send me a wreath and check the situation of the successor of the Secretary of State. I want to know who is most likely to succeed Maquina. Location!"

Putting down the phone, Cheng Yuan walked to the door of the bedroom, closed the door, locked himself in the dark, but felt heavy in his heart, the next step will be a more heart-piercing result, is it really going to be like this?No, these are not up to you to decide.Cheng Yuan thought in distress.

Early the next morning, Cheng Yuan came to the door of Wu Yue's room, and the bodyguard reported: "Miss Wu has never left the room until now."

Cheng Yuan nodded, hesitated for a moment, and rang the doorbell.Wu Yue opened the door, Cheng Yuan came in and asked with concern: "How did you rest last night?"

Wu Yue looked at the rain outside the window with a tired face, and said: "I can't sleep, I dare not sleep, I can see a lot of blood when I close my eyes."

"Don't think about it. I've contacted a hospital for you, and I'll send you there for an examination later."

"I'm not going to the hospital."

"Don't be too willful, this time I went to the hospital to do some routine checks on your body, don't you want to recover sooner?" Cheng Yuan advised.

"Why should I listen to you?"

Cheng Yuan didn't know how to answer for a while, so he could only say: "Because we are friends!"

Wu Yue turned around and looked at Cheng Yuan closely: "Then tell me, what kind of friends are we? How did I meet you?"

"We are just ordinary friends, you met when you came to travel."

Wu Yue thought about it seriously, and said, "But you told me that day that we met on a boat."

"You are traveling by boat." Cheng Yuan explained.

"If it's just an ordinary friend, why did you risk your life to save me that day?" Wu Yue asked questioningly.

Cheng Yuan couldn't make it up anymore, and said with a smile, "I always treat my friends like this."

Wu Yue seems to be immersed in memories: "What happened that day reminded me of many scattered fragments. I remembered that you took me to run, and kept running, and someone was chasing us, and I fell down after a gunshot. I saw many Lots of blood."

Cheng Yuan comforted and said, "Don't think about it. Maybe it scared you that day, and you have hallucinations."

Wu Yue shook her head and said, "But I really have a gunshot wound..."

"That's why I'm taking you to the hospital." Cheng Yuan laughed pretending nothing happened.

Wu Yue calmed down, didn't say anything, and stared at the rain outside in a daze.

Cheng Yuan came out of Wu Yue's room and told his subordinates: "You send Miss Wu to the hospital later. I have already contacted her and arranged for her to be hospitalized immediately."

71．Amnesia

The warm sunshine poured down from the cloudless blue sky and sprinkled on the grassy fairways.

Cheng Yuan, Pippi, bank representatives and a government official formed a temporary doubles two-on-two pattern.The official swings and hits a good shot.

Cheng Yuan praised: "Good shot! Mr. Minister's ball is getting better and better."

The official smiled and said: "There is a generally accepted historical rule. The officials who have left my position in previous governments have improved a lot in terms of game skills compared to when they took office."

"why?"

"Because there's nothing practical to do in my position. I don't have to worry about anything else except golf every day. If you stay in my position for two years, you'll get better at golf."

Cheng Yuan laughed loudly: "But I heard that your leisurely days are coming to an end."

"Your news is quite good." The official concealed his joy and said regretfully, "No one expected Mr. Maquina to have an accident suddenly, and I was ordered in a crisis."

"I am deeply sorry for the unexpected death of Mr. Maquina. It is really expected that you will take the place of Mr. Maquina. There is no other person more suitable than you."

Cheng Yuan flattered him a few times, and the officials were so happy that the bank representative interjected, "Our bank will still need you, the God of Wealth, to take care of us in the future."

The official said in an official tone: "Don't dare, I should be the one who said this. When the new official takes office, I need you to show more face."

Cheng Yuan said: "Please rest assured that we Chinese businessmen have always cooperated with the government's request."

The official said: "Over the past 100 years, the Chinese have made great contributions to the economic development of our country. This historical achievement is obvious to all, and no one can obliterate it. The golden brand name of the Cheng family is your greatest intangible asset."

"The signboard is still there, and we have to test the gold content in the market. Some time ago, the Cheng family's plan to go public was shelved, and I re-adjusted a plan. This time, I hope to get the support of the government."

The official looked at the bank representative and asked, "The Cheng family is going public, what's your bank's attitude?"

The bank representative took a peek at Cheng Yuan and said, "Of course we fully support it."

The official nodded slightly, and suddenly changed the topic: "What is the score now, and how many strokes do these two young Cheng family owe us? You, a banker, have to figure it out."

The bank representative hurriedly said: "I'm watching for you. I know that you politicians are not born with the habit of paying attention to precision."

The official laughed loudly and said again and again: "I dare not, I dare not! I am just a public servant of the people, and I am far from being a politician."

Cheng Yuan immediately took over the topic and said: "In fact, with your qualifications and experience, you should take on greater responsibilities in the government. If you plan to run for the next parliamentary election, you must call us in advance. call."

The official sighed and said: "Many people around me are trying to persuade me, but the people on my side are inexperienced, and it is a bit troublesome to rely on them to raise campaign funds. You Chinese have a saying, when you are fighting, you must pay attention to food and grass first. "

"I assure you that the Chinese Chamber of Commerce will be your strong backing." Cheng Yuan said with a smile.

The official finally showed a satisfied smile: "I see today's game, our grouping is a bit unfair. You should be in a group with me, and they should be in a group. It will be more fun if they are evenly matched."

Cheng Yuan smiled and said nothing.

The official said: "The last time the Cheng family's listing plan did not receive the support of the government, it does not fully represent the government's attitude. The inside story... I don't care if I don't talk about it today. I'm just a little surprised. Since you decided to go public, why do you want to stay away? Go to Wall Street?"

"what do you mean?"

"I think Hong Kong is also a good choice. The market there is very active. Doing business with China is already the general trend. After all, they are all Chinese, and dealing with their own people should not be that complicated."

Cheng Yuan quickly said: "You really hit the point, then I'll send the plan over later for you to have a look at it?"

The official nodded.

From the beginning to the end, Pippi did not speak, and had been watching with cold eyes.

Back in the car, Pippi imitated the tone of a government official and said: "'When fighting a war, pay attention to food and grass first'. He really can say it, and he publicly asked for bribes before he took office."

"Now that he is sitting in this position, if we don't take care of him, all our future plans will be difficult to carry out." Cheng Yuan said.

"Your performance today really impressed me."

"what happened?"

Pippi said sarcastically: "At the critical moment, I can really show my face, flattering people is not bad, and I don't change my face when I openly offer bribes."

Cheng Yuan said displeasedly: "Then what to do, haven't you seen this?"

"Of course I've seen it before. It's no different from what Seventh Uncle did before."

Cheng Yuan's face was livid: "Fart! If you don't do this, when will Cheng's be listed? Do you really want Cheng's to be destroyed by us?"

Pippi spread her hands and stopped talking.

The RV drove Cheng Yuan and Pippi to the cemetery.Cheng Yuan put the flowers in front of Yuna's tomb and said sadly: "Today is Yuna's memorial day, let's take a look at her!" Then Cheng Yuan pointed to two vacant tombs and said: "This place is mine, this is It’s left to you.” He waved his finger at the large grassland behind and said with emotion, “I don’t know who to give that piece of grass in the future.”

"Leave it to your children. Anyway, grandparents can't escape this circle for generations. This is fate."

Cheng Yuan said sharply: "Our Cheng family has experienced a 100-year legend on this land, and it is very likely that it will end in our hands now. In the current situation, if you don't resort to all means to fight back, you will be the Cheng family." last generation!"

Pippi muttered: "You are the last generation of the Cheng family, and my surname is not Cheng." He paused and asked, "What are we going to do next?"

"Mr. Fei!" Cheng Yuan said briefly.

Pippi frowned and said, "Isn't it over yet? Lao Fei is just a businessman who only seeks profit. Now that Uncle Qi and Ma Kuina are gone, he has no backer. We will cooperate if we want to cooperate, and we will do two if we don't cooperate." San, what are you doing with him?"

Cheng Yuan said darkly: "I don't want to talk about other things. The kidnapping of Wu Yue was planned by him alone."

"How did you know?"

"It was Maquina who told me. In the restroom of the banquet that day, he begged me to let him go. In order to free himself, he told me about the old fee."

"This is just one-sidedness of Maquina!"

Cheng Yuan looked at Pippi sharply: "I said, as long as the Fei family is involved, your IQ will obviously decrease."

Pippi was about to say something when his eyes suddenly changed, Cheng Yuan turned around in surprise, and saw Lida walking over with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, without saying anything, walking far away and Pippi, gently placing the flowers on the In front of the tombstone.

Both Cheng Yuan and Pippi were looking at Lida, as if they were looking at an unexpected visitor.

Lida turned around and said calmly: "Today is Yuna's death day, I'll come and see Yuna and my second sister."

"Thank you, Lida." Cheng Yuan said.

Lida said insightfully: "Congratulations, you finally avenged your second sister and little Yuna. Congratulations on your reunion with Wu Yue."

Cheng Yuan: "Too many people died. I want to meet your father."

"I don't want to get involved in the affairs between you. If you want to see him, you don't need to go through me." Lida said coldly.

"That's right! I'll go find him myself!"

Lida looked at him, and seemed to ask vindictively, "Pippi, are you free tonight?"

Pippi looked at Cheng Yuan and then at Lida, and said hesitantly, "I'm free."

"Then we'll see you at the old place."

At this moment, Cheng Yuan's cell phone rang, and he answered in shock, "What?" He turned and ran outside the cemetery.

Lida and Pippi watched Cheng Yuan leave in surprise, not knowing what happened.

Cheng Yuan flew to the hospital by car, and his subordinates were already waiting at the entrance of the hospital. He said with a mournful face, "We sent Ms. Wu here for a checkup, but she disappeared as soon as I turned around. The whole hospital was searched."

Cheng Yuan frowned as he recalled, and suddenly realized: "I know where she is."

Cheng Yuan jumped into the car, the car roared, and flew away like an arrow leaving the string.

On the pier, the cruise ship that Cheng Yuan and Wu Yue met for the first time has finished checking in and is preparing to close the gate.Cheng Yuan's car drove onto the pier and jumped on the cruise ship at the last moment when the gate of the cruise ship closed.

Cheng Yuan shuttled around every corner of the cruise ship, constantly pushing open the doors of various cabins, frantically looking for Wu Yue, Cheng Yuan's actions caused protests from many passengers, but Cheng Yuan didn't care.After searching the cabin, Cheng Yuan boarded the deck of the cruise ship again out of breath, looked around, and finally found Wu Yue.

Wu Yue sat huddled in a corner of the deck, with a look of fear on her face, trembling all over, it made people feel distressed.

Cheng Yuan adjusted his breathing, approached Wu Yue cautiously, trying to control his emotions and tone: "Why did you come here by yourself?"

"Go away!" Wu Yue yelled in fear.

"what happened to you?"

"You lied to me! You're not my friend at all."

"What do you remember?"

Wu Yue shook her head in pain, holding her head helplessly. "I don't know! I don't know! So many images bumping around in my head and I just can't connect them."

"Why do you say I lied to you?"
