For a past promise, Xiao Chen makes a powerful return, becoming the personal bodyguard to a beautiful CEO. He sweeps aside all enemies, forging his own legend as a true king!
He climbs to the...
Longhai City, the largest funeral home.
The Maserati President slowly stopped and Xiao Chen got out of the car.
"Brother Chen!"
Xiaodao, who had been waiting at the door, limped over.
"Well, is everything arranged?"
Xiao Chen nodded and patted Xiao Dao on the shoulder.
"Well, we'll leave at ten."
"good."
The two entered the funeral home and came to the empty mourning hall.
The place where the body was originally placed was empty, and on the table in front were an urn and black-and-white photos.
Three incense sticks are burning. Su Yunfei in the photo is looking ahead with a smile.
Next to them, there were wreaths. These were specially prepared by Xiao Chen and Xiao Dao. There were no elegiac couplets or names on them, only a few special symbols.
There was no one to pay their respects, not even the staff were there, making the scene seem a bit deserted and solemn.
Xiao Chen came to the table, looked at the black and white photo, and didn't speak for a while.
Xiaodao stood behind him, his body straight, like a sword ready to be unsheathed!
"Do you think Lao Su will blame me?"
After a long while, Xiao Chen asked.
"I don't know, but if it were me, I wouldn't blame you. I would do it willingly."
Xiaodao's voice was not loud, but it was serious.
The huge mourning hall fell silent again until funeral music started and staff walked in.
"Excuse me, are we going to hold a farewell ceremony now?"
The staff member stepped forward, came in front of Xiao Chen and Xiao Dao, and asked softly.
"Let's get started."
Xiao Chen nodded, took out a cigarette, lit it, and then stood on the table.
"Just the two of you?"
The staff was a little surprised.
"Well, it's just the two of us, let's go through the process."
Next to him, Xiaodao said.
"OK."
The staff was a little puzzled and looked at the urn on the table. Why did it look so strange?
The farewell ceremony began, and the staff followed the procedure. This might be the first farewell ceremony for two people in all the years she had hosted farewell ceremonies!
"A bow."
"Two bows."
"Bow three times."
Xiao Chen and Xiao Dao stood in front of the table, bent down and bowed, a hint of cold air was spreading.
The staff member standing in front shuddered suddenly, then looked around, wondering why it suddenly became so cold?
"Okay, you're not needed here anymore. Leave at ten and come back later."
Xiao Chen said lightly.
"OK."
The staff was eager to leave. She had never been afraid before, but now she didn't know why, she felt cold all over, as if she was in a cold storage.
"Old Su, Su Qing and Xiao Meng are both fine, you don't have to worry about them...Su Qing's troubles haven't been resolved yet, but don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt her...And Xiao Meng, a girl has changed a lot since she grew up, she is much prettier than the photo you showed me..."
Xiao Chen stood in front of the table, looking at the black and white photos, and spoke softly.
Before his eyes, scenes from the past kept flashing... the first time they met, the first time they fought, the first time they drank... fighting the enemy side by side, living and dying together... there were joys, tears, and even scarlet blood...
Time passed minute by minute, and the funeral music was played over and over again.
At ten o'clock, the staff appeared again. She was somewhat surprised to find that the two of them had been standing in front of the table from the beginning until now, maintaining the same posture, and even their positions had not changed at all!
wack!
Everything today is weird!
"It's ten o'clock, sir."
The staff member stepped forward and spoke cautiously and nervously, as if afraid of disturbing them.
"Um."
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze from the black and white photo and nodded: "Go directly to the cemetery?"
"Yes, there are already staff waiting there."
"good."
Then, two staff members in black suits came in and wanted to take the urn and black-and-white photos, but were stopped by Xiao Chen.
"I'll get the urn."
The two staff members looked at each other and did not touch the urn again.
Xiao Chen held the urn in both hands, while Xiao Dao held the black and white photo, followed by two staff members, and walked outside.
Su Yunfei, who should have been covered with the national flag and enjoyed infinite glory, is now buried in obscurity.
Every step Xiao Chen took was a bit strenuous, as if the urn in his arms weighed more than a thousand pounds!
"Sir, there is a special car over there," the staff member guided.
"Xiaodao, take the photo and take that car."
"What about you?"
"I think Old Su would rather ride in his sister's car... This way, it's like Su Qing is giving him a ride!"
Xiaodao nodded: "Okay."
Xiao Chen held the urn in his hands, came to the parking lot, opened the car door, got in, and then gently placed the urn on the passenger seat.
"Old Su, this is Su Qing's car..."
Xiao Chen started the car and drove towards the cemetery, while the funeral home's vehicle followed behind.
On the way, when passing by a supermarket, Xiao Chen stopped the car, gestured to the car behind him, indicating that they should go first, and then walked in.
A few minutes later, he came out with a shopping bag in his hand, which contained quite a few things.
"Lao Su, let's have a few drinks later, brothers."
After Xiao Chen got in the car, he put the shopping bags on the back seat and continued driving towards the cemetery.
The location was getting more and more remote, and there were fewer and fewer cars on the road. It took more than an hour to reach the cemetery.
This cemetery is not an ordinary cemetery. Each cemetery is far away from each other...
If an ordinary cemetery is a commercial housing, with one house next to another, one household next to another, then this place is a manor. In addition to burying bones, there is also a small piece of land that belongs to you!
This is also the reason why the cemeteries here are so expensive!
Xiao Chen got out of the car, took down the urn, looked around, and smiled.
This was his first time here, but he was quite satisfied. He didn’t say that the promotional picture was one thing and the reality was another…
After all, most of those buried here are well-known figures in Longhai City, and the funeral home dare not deceive them.
"Brother Chen, are you satisfied?"
Xiaodao stepped forward and asked.
"Well, facing the sea, with spring flowers blooming."
Xiao Chen looked at the sea not far away and the unknown little flowers around him and nodded.
"Mr. Xiao, shall we start now?"
A staff member came over and asked.
"Um."
Xiao Chen nodded, came to the tomb, gently put down the urn, and then lit up incense and cigarettes.
The staff also prepared various offerings, even piles of paper money.
When the incense was burnt out and the smoke died out, the urn was placed in the tomb.
Xiao Chen and Xiao Dao filled the soil themselves, then pushed up the marble coffin lid. They stopped only after making sure there were no gaps left.
Next, there was another series of ceremonies. When all the ceremonies were completed, it was already an hour later and noon.
The scene was quiet and there was no other sound except the sound of waves hitting the rocks not far away.
Xiao Chen, Xiao Dao and the staff all bowed three times, and the burial ceremony was completed.
"Mr. Xiao, that's all."
"Well, thank you for your help."
"You're welcome, this is what we do."
"Xiaodao, you can go back with them in the car." Xiao Chen turned his head and looked at Xiaodao.
"What about you?"
"I'll stay with Lao Su for a while and then drive back by myself."
Xiaodao opened his mouth, but finally nodded: "Okay."
Xiaodao and the staff had all left, leaving the empty cemetery with only Xiao Chen and a newly erected tombstone.
The wind blew, and the waves on the sea became bigger. The waves hit the rocks on the cliff, making a rumbling sound.
Xiao Chen walked slowly to the cliff a few dozen meters away. Looking around, he saw the vast blue sea.
"ah!"
Xiao Chen howled towards the sky, this was a way to vent his emotions.
Under my feet, the waves were even more turbulent, rolling and several meters high.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on the sea surface below the cliff more than ten meters high, where there was a speedboat, rising and falling with the waves.
"Why is there a speedboat here? Could it belong to the cemetery manager?"
A look of surprise flashed across Xiao Chen's eyes, and the thought passed through his mind, but he didn't think about it too much and was not in the mood to do so.
After standing on the cliff for a while, he walked to the car, took the shopping bag from the car, then returned to the tombstone and sat down on the ground.
"Lao Su, let's have a drink!"
Xiao Chen took out a bottle of Red Star Erguotou from the shopping bag, opened it, poured some on the ground first, and then, without using a cup, he tilted his head back and drank it from the bottle.
"ha!"
Xiao Chen exhaled a breath of alcohol, put down the bottle, and took out peanuts and other snacks from the shopping bag.
"Old Su, look, this is a recent photo of Su Qing and Xiao Meng... I took this secretly, risking being discovered, just to show you..."
Xiao Chen took out his cell phone again, found two photos, and grinned at the black and white photos on the tombstone.
"Su Qing is fine. If Xiao Meng found out that I was secretly taking photos of her, she would probably kick me out as a pervert... Your sister doesn't like me. Fortunately, who am I? I can conquer her in a minute..."
There was only one person and one tombstone, and the atmosphere at the scene seemed a little weird and desolate.
Xiao Chen drank, kept talking, laughed from time to time, and his eyes occasionally turned red...
As time passed, there were more and more empty wine bottles in front of the tombstone, lying all over the place, and Xiao Chen was already about 70% drunk.
"Old Su, you used to say that there is no need to bury bones in the hometown, there are green mountains everywhere in life... But the green mountains are lucky to bury the loyal bones, and now I am wrapped in my horse's hide... Another day, when the time is right, I will bring Su Qing and Xiao Meng to see you..."
Xiao Chen leaned against the tombstone, looking up at the sea in the distance, his eyes were somewhat empty, and he murmured.
The sun gradually set in the west, the wind died down, and the sound of the waves also became much quieter...
Just when Xiao Chen was half drunk, half awake, and half asleep, the sound of a police siren came faintly, and gradually became clearer...
Then, a car roared, and a large-displacement off-road vehicle came speeding, raising dust all the way...
In the car, there were four men in their thirties with stern expressions and a murderous aura around them!
And in their hands, they firmly held AK-47!
This is the third chapter today. I will keep writing and try to update more!
