Chapter 549: Carnivorous Mermaid vs. Sickly Merchant (41)
As Lu Cha expected, after An Wenqing got the forged project book from Yin Shutong, she was confident that the timid girl would not dare to deceive her, so she directly let An compete with YC.
As a result, An Wenqing failed to grab a single project. Instead, Shenhai took advantage of the opportunity and launched a fierce attack on An's company, causing the company's capital chain to break.
But Yu Chen just let it go and ignored everything Shenhai did to Anshi and YC, so that YC's stock price was also affected.
This was undoubtedly a further blow to the subsidiary An Group, which was at risk of bankruptcy at any time. An's father finally couldn't sit still anymore.
This day.
Father An came to the old house angrily, but the shadow left by Yu Chen at the last banquet was too great.
When he saw the man, Father An was a little frightened and asked with a stiff upper lip:
"Achen, something's happened to the group and An's, why are you still staying at home and not dealing with it?"
"Your sister has caused quite a mess this time, and no one can solve it except you."
When talking about An Wenqing, An's father wanted to point at the other person's nose and call him an idiot.
He dared to trust anyone! He almost lost his family fortune!
Although he was angry at An Wenqing's stupidity, An's father was even more angry at Yu Chen's indifferent indifference.
Especially when he saw that the man who ignored him had the leisure to feed the little mermaid lying beside the water tank, a fire suddenly rose in An's father's heart, completely overshadowing his fear of Yu Chen.
He didn't realize that the little mermaid with her back to him had been to An's house twice.
An's father was so angry that he lost his mind: "You are as cold and indifferent as your mother!"
"Some time ago, at Wen Qing's birthday party, I kindly introduced you to a partner, but what happened to you?! You made me the laughing stock of everyone!"
"Now the company is going bankrupt, and you don't care. You and your mother just like to laugh at my joke!"
Yu Chen stopped feeding Lu Cha, put the bowl and chopsticks on the table, stood up and slowly walked down the stairs.
An's father's scolding voice became even harsher:
"I'm your father! Go out and see which son doesn't respect his father?!"
"Who are you pretending to be so noble for? You're just like your mother, dying!"
After hearing these words, Father An suddenly regained consciousness.
It's over. This madman hates others mentioning his mother's death...
Before An's father could find a way to smooth things over, a gunshot rang out suddenly.
"ah!!!"
An's father, who was hit in the right knee by a bullet, staggered and collapsed to the ground.
A trickle of blood flowed from his wound, but Father An didn't bother to deal with it. He forced a smile:
"Achen, I just said that in anger, don't take it to heart...Ahhhh!!!"
Yu Chen calmly stepped on An's father's injured knee and slowly crushed it:
"A parasite who lives off me, are you worthy enough to mention my mother?"
"No, I don't deserve it..." Father An uttered the words with difficulty. Just as he was about to beg Yu Chen to let him go, the pressure on his knees suddenly disappeared.
"Break his other leg as well and send him back to An's home."
If it weren't for the fact that his mother's body was hidden by An's father, he really wanted to dig out the other person's heart to see how dirty it was.
Yu Chen smiled sarcastically and asked the servant to throw his blood-stained shoes out along with An's father.
But when he turned to look at Lu Cha, the smile on his lips became gentle:
"I'm not feeling well. I'm going back to rest for a while."
No, it would scare his little mermaid.
Lu Cha hummed obediently, looked at An's father who was being dragged away by Yu Ming with his mouth covered, and his gaze fell back on Yu Chen.
The man walked up the stairs with his head lowered, walking against the light, as if returning to the darkness that belonged to him.
The little heroine is about to close the net, so she should speed up too.
Lu Cha picked up the phone beside him, sent a text message to Lan Sang, and then transformed his legs and left the water tank.
-
In the master bedroom on the second floor.
Yu Chen seemed exhausted, leaning weakly on the chair, staring at the exquisite chandelier above in a daze.
In his eyes, which were usually calm, there was now hatred as thick as ink.
My impression of my mother is that she is gentle and generous, and an excellent musician, but she was ruined by that kind of trash.
He remembered very clearly that his mother was seriously ill at that time and could only stay in bed to recuperate.
And his so-called father not only never took care of his mother, he never even said a word of concern.
He goes out to have fun every day, and when he comes back he mocks his mother in words and deeds, calling her a waste.
Even so, his mother would still beautify the image of An's father in front of him——
"Actually, your father wasn't like this before. He might have been too tired recently. Don't hate him."
It wasn't until his mother discovered that An's father had a mistress outside that she completely gave up, but it was too late.
Yu Chen raised his hands and pressed them against his eyes, unwilling to recall the painful past.
But the unwillingness that surged from the bottom of my heart was like a violent flood rushing wildly.
Why should that rubbish be allowed to live?
But his mother still cannot rest in peace?
Yu Chen unconsciously clenched his hands, feeling more and more hateful. Suddenly, a melodious singing voice came from afar.
The wonderful and melodious tune is like clear spring water soaked in ice and snow, which can reach the deepest part of people's hearts and drive away all the filth.
Yu Chen gradually relaxed, tilted his head slightly, opened his eyes, and his eyes suddenly trembled.
The girl standing at the door held an ebony box in her hands.
In the center of the box is an old photo that has been blurred by time.
Below the photo, four crooked characters were engraved: "Yu Miao, Mom"
The memory that had been buried for many years emerged in Yu Chen's confused mind like mushrooms after rain.
An's father didn't want to spend money on his mother's funeral, and he didn't even want to pay for cremation. He waited until the body had rotted before reluctantly asking someone to cremate it.
The money to buy the urn came from all the pocket money he had saved.
At that time, he was controlled by An's father and could not find anyone to help him carve the words, so he could only use a pen to carve his mother's name stroke by stroke.
The corpse that I had imagined was wrapped in rotten flesh had long since turned into ashes and been placed in a small box.
Lu Cha's eyes softened, "Mrs. Yu, it's time for you to go home."
Yu Chen walked up to Lu Cha in a daze, stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to touch the photo on the box, but when his fingertips were about to touch it.
He grabbed Lu Cha's arm tightly, as if he had grabbed a life-saving straw.
The scarlet eyes no longer had the usual calmness, and a hint of madness was now visible.
Yu Chen spoke word by word: "Help me, okay?"
"Legend has it that there's a kind of mermaid in the mermaid tribe whose tail is the same color as the deep sea, and whose song can call back the souls of the dead."
Resurrection of the dead.
He has always treasured this information.
The reason why people hunt and kill mermaids and conduct continuous research is to verify this absurd legend.
He didn't want to lose any hope.
Lu Cha held Yu Chen's hand soothingly and did not refuse: "Okay."
Some things have to be seen by the little villain with his own eyes in order to break his obsession.
-
Because Lu Cha asked Lan Sang to notify the first elder and the second elder in advance and go to a nearby remote and deserted beach to wait.
When she and Yu Chen arrived, the two elders also swam out of the sea.
But he couldn't transform into legs and could only stay at the beach.
The first and second elders bowed to Lu Cha at the same time and said in the unique language of the mermaid tribe: "Greetings, King."
The succession ceremony was completed before Lu Cha returned to the human world.
The Great Elder asked: "I wonder what the king wants to see us about?"
Lu Cha glanced at Yu Chen, who was holding the urn, and handed the information in his hand to the elder:
"After I finish drawing the formation, you will chant the music on it."
The two elders looked at each other, and although they didn't know the girl's purpose, they still agreed obediently.
Lu Cha took the cinnabar powder from the car and drew the formation pattern on the beach according to the information provided by Yu Chen.
After a moment, she took the urn from Yu Chen, placed it in the center of the formation, and signaled the elders to start chanting.
Time passes by every second.
The moment the obscure singing ended, Yu Chen loosened his clenched hands.
The light in his eyes has dimmed, as if shrouded in a vast snowstorm, lonely and desolate.
The two elders have lived for more than a hundred years, so they can naturally understand the words in the human world and speak the human language.
The Great Elder said directly: "The legend that the mermaids can call back the souls of the dead is false."
"Our fish tails are dark in color because we are old, not because we have any special abilities."
"Can't you be more tactful?" The second elder pushed the first elder aside and comforted Yu Chen:
"You humans have a saying, 'The dead are gone, and the living remain.'"
"My condolences."
Yu Chen did not answer, but walked to the middle of the formation and sat next to the urn. For the first time, he felt confused.
The legend is false.
Then what is the meaning of everything he has done over the years?
