Chapter 26 Chapter 26 (2000 Nutrient Solution) More...
Yang Minghui was a competent subordinate. He did not ask questions that he should not ask. Even though his heart was in turmoil, he just drove silently and pretended to be deaf and dumb, as if he heard nothing.
But the shock and confusion in my heart are hard to dissipate.
When he got home at night, he saw his wife Liang Lezhen who was still waiting for him. He couldn't help but ask the question in his heart: "Ah Zhen, you said that a proud and conceited man is with a woman, but he is willing to pretend to be her fiancé who is inferior to him in every way. Why is this?"
Liang Lezhen was someone Yang Minghui met when he was in a gang. They were both very young at the time. One of them had no parents and no background, so she could only join a gang to make a living and suffered a lot of bullying. The other's parents were alcoholics and gamblers, so they were sold to pay off debts. She was sent to a gang and became the gang leader's woman.
The two young men developed a mutual understanding in the gang as they were both people who had fallen on hard times. They never spoke to each other much, but whenever they met, their eyes met with a different kind of compassion than that enjoyed by other gang members.
Later, the four major gangs were fighting each other. The leader of the gang that Yang Minghui joined was killed. Without a leader, the whole gang was in chaos. He accurately sensed the opportunity and risked his life to send key information to the eldest son of the Cheng family and surrender, but he was beaten to death by others.
He almost lost his life, but he made the right bet! The eldest son of the Cheng family is willing to give him a chance, rescue him from other gangs, and take him out of Kowloon Walled City!
Before leaving, Yang Minghui refused the monetary gift from Mr. Cheng and only asked him for one thing, whether he could take one more person with him.
Kowloon Walled City is the most chaotic and evil place in Hong Kong, where all kinds of people mix. If Leung Lok-chun doesn't get out this time, she may never get out in her life.
Liang Lezhen, who had already moved on from the past, heard her husband's question and said without hesitation: "Of course the man loved the woman terribly."
Yang Minghui could hardly associate the word love with the young master! It’s bizarre to think about!
A few days after the incident, Yang Minghui observed silently and saw that the young master looked normal, without any shame or guilt of taking over Miss Lin's fiancée. Yang Minghui secretly sighed that the young master was really inhuman!
Especially on this day, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Chen family called Huanyu and wanted to arrange for a relative to work in Huanyu. Yang Minghui, who had always been able to handle various affairs calmly, inexplicably felt that he was inferior to the Chen family.
Given the relationship between the Chen and Cheng families, such a small matter was naturally not difficult at all. He agreed and instructed the Human Resources Department to take over.
Just as Yang Minghui was about to hang up, the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly changed. It was Chen Songxian who took the receiver:
"Brother Yang, is my cousin here?"
"Not here? Brother Yang, tell me the truth. I wonder if I have offended my cousin in some way. He doesn't even give me any time and won't even see me. Did I do something bad to offend my cousin?"
Yang Minghui, who didn't know why he felt guilty, stammered a few perfunctory words and hung up the phone as if he was throwing away a hot potato.
What a sin! Who has wronged whom? Who has done the bad thing?

Five days after the incident at Hongsheng Entertainment Company, the day arrived for Lin Keying to be recognized as her godparent.
The custom of adopting godparents has always existed in Hong Kong, and the emphasis is especially placed on rituals.
At Li's Restaurant, Guo Changda and Zhao Fengzhen set up two tables of banquets to entertain their old friends and some of Lin Keying's relatives and friends.
The two old men who held a grudge deliberately did not send an invitation to Lin Keying's fiancé.
The ceremony of adopting godparents was simplified. Lin Keying offered tea to the two of them, changed her name to godfather and godmother, accepted two big red envelopes, and then adopted the parents.
"Keying, come here, this is your Uncle Li."—The boss of Yongnian Industrial and a real estate and land tycoon.
“Call her Auntie Xiang.” — She owns shares in 90% of Hong Kong’s department stores.
"Your uncle Xiang and I are brothers who have been through thick and thin together. Thinking back to those days..." - The head of the three major clothing industry giants in Hong Kong.
......The big guys at the table are all either rich or noble.
Lin Keying called for help obediently, wondering if her godparents were too powerful!
After all, it's good to get familiar with all the big guys, she doesn't lose out!
The other table was filled with Lin Keying's friends. The He family of four came, as did Dr. Huo. Finally, there was Secretary Yang, who came uninvited.
Cheng Wanting was not invited, but the Guo couple did not make things difficult for Secretary Yang and asked him to sit down in a casual manner.
Being in the middle of it all, Yang Minghui felt that he had a heavy responsibility. With his left shoulder he carried the secret of the eldest son acting as a substitute for his cousin, and with his right shoulder he had the nerve to inquire about the circumstances of the godparents ceremony.
Although the eldest young master didn't say anything, Yang Minghui automatically focused his attention on Dr. Xiao Huo. After all, his legal fiancé was not here, his substitute eldest young master was not here, and there was a love rival here!
Everyone congratulated. Tingting had been frightened a few days ago and realized the dangers of society. She pulled Lin Keying and cried, "Sister Keying, I'm sorry, I almost hurt you..."
"Well, look, we are all fine now, aren't we? I even have a godfather and godmother." Lin Keying knew that even the most precocious high school students would have trouble distinguishing between danger and evil. Now, as long as Tingting didn't go down that path, it would be fine. "What are you going to do in the future?"
After this experience, Tingting lost her charm to the entertainment industry and changed her ambition: "I want to study hard, go to university, and become a lawyer in the future!"
Lawyers have a high status in Hong Kong, and being a lawyer will help you avoid falling into contract traps.
Lin Keying touched Tingting's furry head and couldn't help but think of her ambitions when she was studying. At that time, she always had a lot of fantasies. It was so important to have a real direction worth working hard for.
At the end of the godparent ceremony, Zhao Fengzhen specifically announced that he would give away the dessert shop that Lin Keying had rented last time as well as four surrounding shops.
"Consider it a gift from me and your godfather to you."
Lin Keying: This is so generous!
She declined for a few sentences, but finally accepted it happily, her voice so sweet that it sounded like syrup: "Thank you, godfather and godmother!"
At the end of the banquet, Guo Changda waved his hand and said, "It's your birthday next month, right? Tell your godfather what gift you want!"
Next month is Lin Keying’s 21st birthday. She is naturally happy that she can choose her own gift now.
Everyone got in their cars and left. The big guys each had their own cars. The He family of three prepared to take the bus home. Before getting in a taxi, Doctor Huo took out a square gift box from his pocket and said goodbye to Lin Keying, "Keying, I will be sent out by the hospital for further studies at the end of this month, and I won't be back until three months later. I'm sending you your birthday present in advance."
Lin Keying took it with a smile and wished her friend: "Thank you, Dr. Xiao Huo, I wish you good luck in your further studies. When you come back, I will treat you to a meal."
Secretary Yang was observing furtively from the side. She stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to see Dr. Xiao Huo leaving in a taxi, and then Miss Lin in the distance opened the box and took a look.
Wow, it’s a scarf!
——
"Master, before Dr. Huo left, he gave Miss Lin a silk scarf as a birthday present. Miss Lin also said that she would treat him to a meal when he came back."
Secretary Yang reported the matter, and inwardly he could not help but mourn over these messy relationships.
"Scarf..." Cheng Wanting narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself.
"Yes." Yang Minghui reported carefully, following the professional qualities of a secretary. "It's a light yellow silk scarf. Doctor Xiao Huo said it's especially suitable for autumn. Miss Lin will definitely look beautiful in it!"
The end of summer heralds the belated arrival of autumn.
Lin Keying's wardrobe instantly changed color from colorful summer cool clothes to a series of brown, light green, black, white and gray autumn clothes.
I went to the mall and did some shopping. I brought home woolen jackets, windbreakers, leather jackets, and shirts. In no time, my closet was full.
As the weather gets cooler, Lin Keying wears a light brown windbreaker over her blue and white striped shirt. Her slender light-colored jeans outline her straight and well-proportioned legs, which seem to have no end.
Lin Keying, dressed in a refined and casual manner, pondered in front of the mirror, always feeling that something was missing, until the small square box on the table caught her eye. She took the silk scarf given by Dr. Xiao Huo and tied it around her neck, just right!
The silk scarf that Yang Minghui had described yesterday appeared in front of Cheng Wanting today.
During lunch time, Lin Keying was concentrating on eating. She kept feeling that someone was looking at her neck from time to time. She looked up and saw that it was always the young master eating elegantly, and he clearly didn't look at her.
Gently touching the silk scarf, Lin Keying suspected that she was hallucinating.
"Going out in the afternoon?" Cheng Wanting didn't eat much, but he took his time picking up some food occasionally, and would not stop until Lin Keying put down her bowl and chopsticks.
"I'm going to go see the shop that my godfather and godmother gave me. It still needs to be transferred." Lin Keying didn't expect that she had taken another big step towards becoming a landlady.
"Let Ah Hui handle the transfer." Cheng Wanting wiped his hands and arranged Lin Keying's next schedule as he stood up, "Come with me to a place this afternoon."
......
Lin Keying never thought that her original shopping trip would turn into shooting!
On the open grassland, a gun target stood far away. There was no one around, and the only sound was the breeze blowing the grass.
——Bang bang bang bang
Cheng Wanting fired four shots in succession, and each shot hit the bull's eye, making Lin Keying, who was watching the performance closely, couldn't help but applaud.
He opened the magazine neatly and loaded the bullets. Then, Cheng Wanting's slender fingers nimbly turned the pistol around, and finally the handle of the gun stopped in front of Lin Keying.
The man raised his chin and said, "Did you remember what I just taught you? Come on, try it."
Lin Keying had only played with toy guns in her life, the kind of game in shopping malls where you used a gun to shoot balloons to win prizes.
Lin Keying's heart trembled when she touched the real gun. This is real...
As a beginner and nervous about shooting with a real gun, Lin Keying’s practice progress was not ideal, especially the recoil after each shot, which made her arms shake and numb.
"Do I really want to learn this?" Lin Keying was not very interested and felt it was too difficult.
Cheng Wanting leaned over from behind, slowly placed his long arms on Lin Keying's arms, and grasped the back of her hands with his large hands. His hard chest pressed against her back, as if wrapping her whole body tightly.
"Hong Kong may look bright and beautiful on the surface, but it is actually in chaos and dangers may be hidden everywhere." Cheng Wanting's voice rang in Lin Keying's ears, and his breathing brought a slight itch. "Last time, someone pointed a gun at you. From now on, if someone does something bad to you again, you should point a gun at him."
The man's half-hug posture made Lin Keying's palms, arms and even her entire back gradually become hot, and the fire burned all the way to her ears, making her feel burning.
"But the first time I was pointed at with a gun since I came to Hong Kong City was you." Lin Keying exerted a little force, left the man's arms, turned around and looked at him.
Cheng Wanting slightly curved his thin lips and gently lifted the pistol in Lin Keying's hand, which was hanging naturally by her legs.
The cold gun barrel slowly rose and finally pointed at himself.
The man remained calm, staring directly at Lin Keying, and spoke forcefully, "Then you should point your gun at me. Remember, you can't allow anyone to harm you."
Lin Keying saw with her own eyes Cheng Wanting loading bullets into the magazine. She had just practiced with three bullets, and now there was only one left.
This last bullet passed through the dark hole and hit Cheng Wanting's forehead.
"If I want to do something bad to you now, what will you do?" Cheng Wanting spoke calmly, as if he was really discussing with Lin Keying how to protect themselves.
Lin Keying nervously gripped the pistol, the trigger between her fingers. As long as she pulled the trigger, the bullet would go straight through the barrel and shoot into the man's forehead...
The nervous and exciting emotions spread without limit, causing Lin Keying's scalp to go numb and veins to appear on the back of her hands, but she could hardly move at all.
"You are still too soft-hearted. What I say will be disadvantageous to you."
Cheng Wanting raised the corner of his lips, gently pushed the gun barrel away with his fingers, leaned closer and casually pulled off the silk scarf around Lin Keying's neck.
The goose yellow silk scarf, as thin as a cicada's wing, danced lightly in the wind and slowly fell on the grass.
The man's cold lips kissed the woman's warm neck.
The tip of the tongue licked lightly, causing tremors.
