Chapter 871 The End of the Song
Chen Pingsheng walked with steady steps, holding a specially made Guandong broadsword in his hand.
Under Xiao Gungun's gaze, he walked onto the stage step by step.
Then he stroked his beard and shouted loudly:
“I am a commoner, but fortunately I have been blessed by God.
“This is how one rises from obscurity and walks through the ordinary.
“There are countless heroes in the world, but who is the real hero?
"After a hundred years, perhaps I can finally be called a hero...
"Time flies, and heroes will eventually grow old. At the end of my life, I want to sing Farewell My Concubine again to embark on the road to find my wife in the next life."
Chen Pingsheng slammed the gun head heavily on the floor, and his calm eyes slowly closed.
A song of Overlord's Tears, bidding farewell to the Chen family.
The people in the small village had no idea how big a thing had happened. Only Xiao Gungun kept calling Grandpa Chen's name.
But no matter how we called, he couldn't wake up.
One day in 2084, the show ended and everyone dispersed.
A legendary tycoon, the founder of the Shanghai Chen family, passed away quietly in a remote mountain village.
By the time the outside world received the news in the afternoon, the whole world was shocked.
A sudden uproar erupted, with 54 countries simultaneously lowering their flags to half-mast to express condolences.
No matter which TV station in the country, they were the first to broadcast the news of the departure of the founder of the Chen family.
All entertainment platforms, including external entertainment venues, were shut down urgently.
Even An An, who had just received the news, felt as if the sky had fallen.
She has been busy dealing with the affairs of Jingyan Island over the years, and her father had told her not to look for him before he left.
Her father would be watching everything she did silently from a place where she couldn't see him.
But when An An was about to complete all this, his father... brought bad news.
An An didn't care and boarded her private plane directly from Jingyan Island. Thousands of private planes took off on the island at the same time.
All the large ships docked at the seaside set sail as soon as possible.
Everyone's face was filled with heaviness.
Mr. Chen Pingsheng, the founder of the Chen family, the founder of Jingyan Island, and a true social entrepreneur of his generation, passed away while standing on August 1st.
Only the little boy who has always been by his side knows nothing yet. He just wants to find a place for him to rest in peace.
But within two hours, the sky was filled with roaring sounds.
The huge aircraft stopped steadily above the small village. The people in the mountains looked up and saw one super plane after another.
They are rushing here from all over the world.
But the people in this small mountain village had no idea what was going on.
Only the bigwigs in the town outside the village, including the county and city levels, were using their connections to inquire about what big things had happened outside.
Then we got an extremely shocking news: Mr. Chen Pingsheng, the founder of the Chen family, passed away at noon today.
And the place he left was this unknown little mountain village.
The sky is falling. Such a person actually left in an unknown village.
No wonder there are so many important people coming from heaven.
No amount of words can express the shock I feel at this moment, just like Xiao Gungun right now.
She is just an ordinary girl, doing an ordinary job. When she was young, she dared to say confidently that she had surpassed this and that. After she grew up and saw the society clearly, she realized the gap between people in the world.
The vast universe is not a stage for people like them. The stage belongs to the protagonists standing in the middle of the stage, who can change the lives of thousands of ordinary people like hers with a wave of their hands.
She had never seen anyone like this before.
But now I see countless of them at once, one after another.
In just a short while, most of the country's super figures gathered together.
An An stood beside his father, tears welling up in his eyes no matter how hard he tried to wipe them away.
Even a great man like my father will eventually leave in such an ordinary way.
An An held back the tears in her eyes and asked, "Did my father say anything before he died?"
"He didn't say much. Grandpa Chen just said that we can finally go find his wife." Little Gungun was extremely nervous.
She felt that the person in front of her was like a super figure she had met when she was a child, and the most powerful one.
I haven't seen it in real life, but I see it every day on TV and in mobile phone news.
Then... Grandpa Chen, whom she had always thought was an ordinary person, turned out to be her father.
So what is Grandpa Chen’s identity?
Xiao Gungun didn't dare to think further.
After a while, Erya Chen Xinyi also rushed over from Hong Kong in a hurry.
She cried even harder than her sister and could not accept that her father left in such an ordinary way.
Outside the village, the area is blocked for a hundred miles, and people from outside cannot get in by land.
Only the big shots in the sky can rely on expensive aircraft to dock in mid-air and then slowly land.
"Take me to see where my father lives."
An An has already ordered someone to bring the best ice coffin over. She wants to make her father immortal.
To outsiders, it is not surprising that the founder of the Chen family has a grand occasion.
Xiao Gungun took An An to the courtyard where Chen Pingsheng lived in his later years. The courtyard was not big and was very quiet.
There is a small study inside, in which are letters he wrote to each child.
All the information including time is sorted into different categories.
An An opened the first letter from her father. The handwriting inside was clear, and it all expressed Chen Pingsheng's longing for his daughter in his later years.
"An An!"
"By the time you open this letter, I, your father, will probably have passed away. I regret saying goodbye to you in this way.
"Father originally wanted to return to the Chen family in Shanghai, but thinking of your reluctant expressions, he decided to leave in this small village.
"Father knows you have a lot of reluctance to let go, but isn't he the same? It's just that your mother has been gone for too many years, alone. I don't want her to wait too long, or I'm afraid I won't be able to find her.
"Father has actually wanted to meet your mother for a long time, but although the Chen family in Magic City seems stable, there are still a lot of problems inside.
"Your mother's last wish was that I should not accompany her when she left, but that I must guard the Chen family for another twenty years.
"You should have seen that girl called Xiao Gun Gun, she really looks like you when you were little. Every time I see her, I think of the way you played around as a kid.
"Time flies by so fast. The big brat back then has now become a grandmother, and it's time for my father to say goodbye to everything.
"Ten years ago, I actually considered disbanding the Chen family and completely de-Chenizing Jingyan Island. However, I later discovered that it wasn't the Chen family that was restricting Jingyan Island's development, but rather the inevitable family ties, selfish desires, and power-seeking that have plagued China for five thousand years, which were gradually eroding its fairness and justice.
"Father is old now, and although he has the will, he lacks the strength. I can only leave all the remaining things, including the responsibilities, to you.
"In my later years, I'm actually not competent as a father, but I actually want you to bear all this responsibility.
"But it's rare for your father to have some peace and quiet. My greatest pleasure in this small mountain village is writing in my diary, which contains every detail of your growth.
"This is a beautiful memory of your father, and it is also a process of your growth. Your father only hopes that you can live happily for the rest of your life.
"Please forgive my selfish father. I really miss your mother. If I go any later, I'm afraid I won't be able to find her.
"Your mother has actually been afraid of the dark since she was a child. She just knew that you were afraid of the dark too, but she never dared to tell you.
"Dad really misses her."
