Chen Zhengyi poured himself another glass of wine, and this time, he drank it all in one gulp.
After downing a glass of wine, his eyes became faintly bloodshot, just like when he was on the battlefield, his eyes bloodshot from fighting the enemy.
"There's no one left by my side," Chen Zhengyi murmured to himself. "The person I was supposed to grow old with is now gone."
"Even you're gone now, leaving me all alone. What am I supposed to do?"
Chen Zhengyi poured himself another glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp.
Under the influence of alcohol, his eyes became even redder: "Ye Xingchen, everything has changed since you came to Yanjing."
"Heh, I have nothing to say about you avenging your father, but I also want to avenge the people around me."
Chen Zhengyi slammed the cup to the ground and stood up resolutely. At that moment, he exuded a chilling killing intent, just like the ruthless war god on the battlefield.
Bibo Lake, Chen Family Manor.
Nestled against the mountains and overlooking the lake, the resort is an excellent vacation spot.
This mountain resort covers an area of tens of thousands of acres, with all buildings in the ancient style. The interior design is exquisite, and every tree and every stone has cost a lot of money.
This villa, which cost billions to build, is Chen Wanning's private vacation spot.
The lake was as calm as a mirror. Chen Wanning held up his fishing rod and fished in front of the lake.
“Master, he is furious.” Wu Li slowly walked over: “He will definitely do something shocking within a few days.”
"Good, really good." Chen Wanning smiled slightly: "My son, you must not disappoint me."
“You were someone I had high hopes for, but over the years, you have plunged headlong into the vortex of worldly power struggles and have long forgotten your former passion and decisiveness.”
Chen Wanning muttered to himself, "I hope that this time, you'll show your true strength."
"Master, what about the Second Young Master? If the Eldest Young Master gets angry, it will affect everyone around him. He's capable of anything." Wu Li pondered for a moment and said, "Should we remind the Second Young Master?"
"Are you afraid that the eldest brother will get angry and kill the second brother too?"
"Yes, yes." Wu Li lowered his head; that was what he meant, but he didn't dare say it out loud.
"Hehe, don't worry, this time when the boss is angry, he will definitely get rid of the second brother, who is a thorn in his side, as well."
"Then what can we do? Are we just going to stand by and watch them kill each other?" Wu Li was taken aback.
“I believe the second son has the ability to deal with it. He has been keeping a low profile for so many years, and he even fooled me. He has a good mind and a good plan.”
Chen Wanning seemed quite satisfied: "The descendants of the Chen family cannot be useless good-for-nothings, much less honest lambs to be slaughtered."
“But Young Master, we’ve contacted an elder in the sect, and Gao Tairan is about to emerge from seclusion. Second Young Master doesn’t have any experts on his side. What if…” Wu Li frowned.
“This is the time to test these brothers. We must not be soft-hearted.” Chen Wanning shook his head and said, “If something really happens to him, it will be because he is not capable enough.”
Chen Wanning slowly stood up: "The disputes among powerful families are no less than the struggles between emperors in ancient times."
"If you want to survive in it, you have to endure everything. Just watch and see who comes out on top."
Chen Wanning also seemed somewhat excited: "After so many years, the future successor of the Chen family is finally about to emerge. Hehe, I'm watching them to see who will come out on top."
Yueshan Mausoleum, in the suburbs.
This place is surrounded by green mountains and has pleasant air.
Su Ruochu held flowers and paid respects to her family.
Parents, grandparents, older brother and sister-in-law, and many others.
Ye Xingchen stayed with her and helped her tidy up the surrounding weeds.
"Grandma, I'm doing very well now, you don't need to worry about me." In front of the old lady's grave, Su Ruochu stroked the photo on the tombstone, her heart filled with longing.
The old lady in the photo has a kind smile on her face, just as she did when she was alive.
Her parents, brother, sister-in-law, and others have passed away many years ago. Su Ruochu was still young at the time, so her memories are very vague.
Her maternal grandmother was the only one who lived with her for many years, so she misses her grandmother the most now.
Su Ruochu murmured to herself, recounting many of her travels: "These past few days I've been to many places, admiring the blooming and fading of flowers, and watching the floating clouds drift by."
"I really want to go with you to see it, but it's too late now."
"Xingchen said that if you break the three precepts and enter Buddhism, and are reincarnated, you will carry the memories of this life. I really hope that day will come soon."
Su Ruochu muttered a lot to herself, then knelt down and respectfully kowtowed three times.
"Don't worry, Grandma. I promised you I would take good care of Ruochu, and I won't break my promise," Ye Xingchen said earnestly.
As the two left the cemetery, Su Ruochu turned to her and said, "You promised my grandmother you would take care of me, so please don't go back on your word."
"I've always taken care of you, and I won't go back on my word. My home is your home," Ye Xingchen said earnestly.
"I remember what you said." Su Ruochu smiled faintly, took Ye Xingchen's hand, and wondered when she could get him down to sleep.
"The news from Chen Liang's side is that Chen Zhengyi is furious and may be planning something big soon," Ye Xingchen said. "You should also be careful."
"You killed Chen Jin to completely enrage Chen Zhengyi, didn't you?" Su Ruochu stared at him: "When people are angry, they lose all reason."
"So next, he will use all his strength to target you."
“Everything else is fine, but Gao Tairan has come out of seclusion, and another elder from the Xuan Yang Sect has arrived. He is also a celestial being. These two are the ones who are giving us a headache,” Ye Xingchen said.
“It’s alright, no matter how strong the opponent is, I’ll be with you.” Su Ruochu held his hand: “After the Yanjing incident, I’ll go to the Western Frontier with you.”
When this matter was brought up, Ye Xingchen fell silent for a moment, because he didn't know if his father was still alive.
"Worried?" Su Ruochu, with her keen and insightful mind, instantly guessed what Ye Xingchen was thinking.
"Yes, Chen Zhengyi's words cannot be completely trusted, but they did give me a glimmer of hope." Ye Xingchen's expression was somewhat confused: "I don't know if my father is still alive."
"If he were alive, why hasn't he come back for over twenty years?"
"Even now, I don't dare tell my mother about these things, for fear that I'll end up making her happy for nothing."
“I understand, so I’ll go with you to find out the truth about this.”
"Thank you." Ye Xingchen gazed at her. "I don't want these things to affect you."
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be able to take revenge now, and my obsession might be causing me unbearable pain." Su Ruochu smiled gently: "I'm yours for life, so what's the point of talking about being a burden?"
