Chapter 1323: A Net of Circles
Cheng Yuqing: “…”
For a moment, the aunt didn't know what to say, and her expression was blank. After a while, she quickened her pace to catch up with Cheng Zhiyuan, who had already walked a long way. She was very entangled and surprised and confirmed,
"Are you serious?"
The man smiled faintly.
"Auntie, are you reluctant?"
"What are you reluctant to give up?"
Cheng Yuqing's expression changed, and he became a little irritable as if he had been insulted.
"Do you doubt that I'm reluctant to give up the power of the Cheng family? I didn't rely on Commander Cheng or you, Major General Cheng, to enter the Psychological Academy all these years. Why should I be reluctant to give it up?"
After a pause, she frowned and said,
"It's where my dad is..."
"Grandpa has agreed."
Cheng Zhiyuan looked indifferent.
"Sooner or later, the Cheng family will be handed over to me. What it means is that I will be in charge of the Cheng family in the future. Whether it rises or falls, in politics or business, it will be decided by me."
Cheng Yuqing shrugged.
"Whatever, brat, just make enough money for me to travel around the world once in a while."
"Auntie, go ahead and have fun,"
Cheng Zhiyuan smiled.
"I will definitely honor you."
The wind blew through the large, heavily fortified compound, carrying with it the smell of fallen leaves and earth, and the stench of ammunition from the distant training grounds.
Cheng Yuqing took a deep breath and sighed,
"Our family has been here for hundreds of years. If we really were to start a business, we could move out of here."
"Are you tired of living here, Auntie?"
"I'm tired of it already."
The woman raised her head, her pupils blurred by the light.
"There's a sentry every ten steps, and a squadron every hundred steps. Living in this house, I always feel like a spy, constantly having to contact someone to plot national affairs, and constantly on guard against surprise attacks. But I'm clearly just a psychiatrist."
"Actually, you could have gotten married earlier and moved out. It would have been enough to come back once in a while."
Cheng Zhiyuan paused for a moment after he finished speaking. He turned his eyes to look at Cheng Yuqing and asked calmly,
"Auntie, have you ever thought about getting married? Although you look young and beautiful, your ID card can't deceive you. You are already forty years old..."
"Don't you know, brat, that age is a woman's fatal flaw?"
Cheng Yuqing rolled his eyes, but when he lowered his head again, he couldn't hide the momentary distraction and nostalgia on his face.
"Besides, anyone who could marry me is already dead."
She sighed.
"And he died indirectly at my father's hands, which made me afraid to face your parents' portraits for several years."
Cheng Zhiyuan lowered his head slightly and said in a natural tone,
"Is it the incident when I was fifteen? Aunt, please tell me about it in detail. I didn't quite understand the whole story at the time."
"Why on earth would your fiancé want to kidnap me?"
"Are there any cigarettes?"
The woman asked.
Cheng Zhiyuan paused, took out a cigarette and a lighter from his trouser pocket and handed them over.
With a snap, the spark died down and the woman lowered her head, burying her expression in the smoke.
"Do you remember the Gu family?"
Cheng Yuqing asked,
"The Gu family was Su Cheng's subordinate back then, and was also his strong opponent in the election ten years ago. My fiancé is the younger brother of the head of the Gu family."

Shen Pianpian once again saw Director Ye drinking alone on the first floor of the hotel.
The lifeless eyes, which seemed like a replay of the scene, instantly lit up Miss Shen's eyes.
The truth comes out after drinking, it’s time to find out Chu Yan’s background!
He ordered a bottle of strong red wine at the bar and sat down in front of Ye Danggui.
"Director Ye, what's the point of drinking alone? I'll come and accompany you."
The red trickle poured into the goblet, creating a gorgeous blood-red color, which was reflected in Director Ye's dazed eyes like a layer of cold and cruel gauze.
The past, far away from time and mottled blood, is like a big net that brings everyone together.
Outside the hotel, in the bustling city center, the cold lights of the tall buildings were all reflected in the man's deep brown eyes.
Someone knocked on the door and came in, placing a document and a recorder on the desk.
"Here is all the information you requested about Shen Pianxian, as well as the details of the interrogation of the Ning brothers and sisters in Yungang Prison."
