The moon in the sky is hidden in the dark clouds, and the night here is extraordinarily deep.

Xue Yan stood there and glanced towards the sky. At this time, Ling Sui walked to his side, put a hand on his shoulder, looked down, snorted, and said, "This little girl is also very powerful, people are afraid of death, I heard that this girl was very decisive when she jumped down, and she didn't hesitate at all." ”

Xue Yan glanced at him and became murderous.

He raised his hand, grabbed Ling Sui's arm, turned to the side slightly, looked at him, and said, "The descendant of the hero has a heroic dream hidden in her heart, and when she jumps down, she probably thinks she is particularly useful." ”

Ling Sui snorted, very disdainful, "This kind of person has a problem with her brain, jumping from here, she is the only one who thinks she is a hero, who remembers what she is." ”

"Dead are dead, and there's no need to talk about it. As a top priority, Brother Sui should find out the ghosts around him first. If this ghost is not caught, it will be difficult for us to take every step. ”

"Yes. Speaking of this, Ling Sui became serious again.

Seeing that the trading day is approaching, there is absolutely nothing wrong with his side.

Therefore, we have to step up our efforts to investigate people.

The two went down the mountain together, the road down the mountain was not very easy, the two supported each other to go down, and when they arrived at the house in the mountain, they rested for one night and then went out of the mountain.

This room is gloomy, and the facilities in the room are very simple, Xue Yan looked at the bed, opened the curtains, and found that there were no windows in this room, and the curtains were just pretending.

The square room, without a window, is particularly depressing.

Xue Yan stayed for a while and then went out.

At the top of the stairs, I happened to meet Ling Sui who was going up and down the stairs.

"Why? Can't sleep?"

"It's a little shabby, I can't lie down. What's wrong with you?"

"Something. ”

"Then I'll avoid it. ”

The two looked at each other for a moment, and Xue Yan turned around and went back to the room.

Xue Yan didn't act rashly, and after returning to the room, he sat on the bed and waited.

I don't know how long it took before Ling Sui found someone to come and call him down.

In the living room downstairs, Ling was there, and there was wine on the table, and he beckoned to him and invited him to sit down.

Xue Yan sat down across from him, with a plate of peanuts in the middle, the things were very simple, and the wine was inferior.

The smell is choking and pungent.

Ling Sui took a sip and said, "The soju I got from the countryside is brewed by myself." You may not be used to it, but I like it. ”

Xue Yan tasted it and said, "It's not bad." ”

"Why can't you sleep? Is it because of this house, or because of people?"

"Both. ”

"To be honest, this Xue Wei betrayed you, and now he is dead again, is it uncomfortable in your heart?"

Xue Yan thought for a while, looked at Ling Sui's eyes, and said, "It's false to say that it's not uncomfortable, in the end, the person who has been by my side for so long has died like this, I really feel uncomfortable." But another reason for this discomfort was that it hurt my interests, and it was too sudden and disrupted my plans. Knowing this, this person might as well interrogate me myself, and maybe I could force something to ask. ”

"Are you blaming me?"

"Sort of. ”

Ling raised his eyebrows, turned the cup in his hand, and said with a smile: "You really dare to say it." ”

"I have the courage to drink, what else do I dare not say? It is not easy for me to get to this day, seeing that everything I want is almost in my hands, and I have to walk a few more steps on this road by you like this. Do you know what's the most uncomfortable thing about being able to eat the cake right in front of you, and it's going to make people crazy. ”

Xue Yan stared at the wine in the cup, tilted his head to the other side, and said, "This person is crazy, but he can do anything." ”

Ling Sui took a peanut, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "What you say seems to be threatening me." ”

"I should threaten you, but now, if you play with me again, I won't be so good-tempered. ”

"What's the matter? Do you want to follow along, thinking that you are favored by the Buddha?"

"I know that the Buddha I saw is fake, but even so, I don't need to be afraid of you, without you, I will naturally be able to see the Buddha, isn't it? Without your traction, I still have a Wan Ye, and Wan Ye is much more sincere than you. ”

Ling Sui's eyes turned cold, "Xue Yan, do you know what you're talking about?"

"Of course I know what I'm talking about, and since I can say that, I have the confidence to do so. ”

With a click, the wine glass fell on the table, he leaned back on the back of the chair, his hands naturally drooped, and looked at him with a smile, "I said from the beginning, you can do anything, you can't move my interests, the things I care about the most, the things I have at my fingertips, you have mixed them up for me." You say, 'What are you going to compensate me?'

"If you don't compensate me with something of equal interest, I won't be able to swallow this breath. ”

Ling Sui: "Have you forgotten, whose territory is this? If you say this, you are not afraid that you will not be able to get out?"

"If I'm afraid, I won't say it. ”

The voice fell, there was silence all around, there were unknown insects and birds outside the house, the night in the deep mountains, always made people panic, the lights in the house were miserable, the lights fell on people's faces, and the people's faces were extremely white, without blood.

The two looked at each other for a long time, and Ling Sui laughed, "Oh, it turns out that what you said doesn't matter is false, and now you are resenting me for killing the woman you love, right?"

Xue Yan snorted, don't start, didn't respond to his words, just laughed, didn't smile.

Ling Sui: "Yes, just treat it as if I delayed you this time, and I will give you benefits." At the end of the year, there is a very important deal, when the time comes, Wan Ye and I will follow the Buddha, and I will take you a share, how about it? I know that what you want most is to have your own side of the force, and you don't want to work under me, I will give you the opportunity to let you see the real Buddha. What do you think of this compensation?"

Xue Yan didn't answer immediately, as if he was thinking about it.

"What?

"Of course, think about it, who knows how true or false your words are. ”

"What you said, there is no trust between us at all?"

"Then I want to ask you, Brother Sui, do you believe me? Have you trusted me once so far?"

Ling Sui continued to drink, "Believe it or not, you are useful, I want to keep you." ”

Xue Yan frowned, "We should be useful to each other, right?"

Ling Sui glanced at him, and could see the anger on his body, this Xue Yan was not completely incapable, Ling Sui also understood that a person is really crazy, he can do anything, when a person does everything, he is really incompetent.

Just like himself, when he was forced to the point where there was no way out, he could only fight his way out.

"Don't talk about it, do you want to be good? If you perform well on this trip, maybe you can replace me. To be honest, I want someone to take my place. ”

"What's the matter?

"There is always a time to step back. ”

"You're going to let me take over?"

"If the Buddha takes a fancy to you, you can take over from me, if not, then you are incompetent. ”

Xue Yan pondered for a moment, "This sounds quite attractive, I feel more comfortable." ”

Ling Sui took a peanut and threw it at him, "Come on." Even if Xue Wei is gone, you still have a way to get the source leaf justifiably, I don't believe it, you didn't leave a backhand. ”

Xue Yan avoided it, with a smile on his face, took the wine glass, and touched it with him, "Brother Sui, I hope that this time, we can really cooperate happily." ”

"That's nature. ”

This night, the two drank all night and chatted all night.

The next day, Ling Sui's people sent Xue Yan to the airport.

Returning to Shencheng, stepping off the plane, stepping on the ground, he suddenly stumbled a step, fortunately Wang Jingkai was waiting on the side, quickly held him up, and saw that his face was different, "Mr. Xue, are you okay?

Xue Yan waved his hand, "It's okay, I guess I haven't eaten all the time, and I don't have much strength on my body." ”

"Then find a place to eat?" Six

"Okay, just find a place, you don't have to go through a lot of work. ”

"Got it. ”

Wang Jingkai thought for a while, called the driver back, and he personally drove Xue Yan to a very ordinary restaurant to eat. This restaurant has been open for many years, and the decoration is average, but the environment inside is quite clean. It is a mom-and-pop shop, and the two husbands and wives have been running a restaurant for more than 20 years.

When the two of them came, they were not in the hotel, just the two of them.

Wang Jingkai still wanted a private room, and after sitting down, Wang Jingkai ordered a few home-cooked dishes.

The proprietress came up with a pot of tea, and the two of them looked dressed in extraordinary clothes, not quite like the hosts who would come here to eat. The proprietress said: "I don't have good tea here, this is the most ordinary tea, you pay attention to drinking." ”

"It's okay, we can drink anything. ”

Wang Jingkai took the kettle, brought tea to Xue Yan, and said: "I have come here to eat a few times before, and it can't be compared with a big hotel, but it also has a taste that a big hotel can't make." ”

Xue Yan didn't react, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

Wang Jingkai just said a few words, then stopped talking, and just sat quietly without making a sound to disturb.

Soon, the proprietress brought the dishes, four dishes and one soup. A pot of rice.

Xue Yan picked up the chopsticks and started eating, he ate very fast and ate a lot, as if he was really hungry for a long time. Wang Jingkai served him soup, put the soup bowl next to him, and didn't move his chopsticks, just watched. After following him for many years, he could naturally see that Xue Yan would be in a bad mood.

It's been to a very bad point.

Wang Jingkai thought about it for a while, went outside and brought in a pot of old wine.

poured a glass for each other, "I'm not going to the company today, let's have some wine." I see that you are not in good spirits, and when you finish eating, I will send you back, and you can rest well. When you have a good rest, your work efficiency will be high. Moreover, you have to take care of your body, I see that you have lost a lot of weight these days, you are my job, if something happens to you, what should I do? ”

Xue Yan glanced at him and said with a smile: "The way I look, do you look like you're going to die?"

Seeing that he reacted, Wang Jingkai secretly breathed a sigh of relief, giggled, and said, "If you can't, I'm afraid you'll fall ill." Now you have to take care of two large enterprises by yourself, this person's energy is limited, and I am afraid that you will overwork. In fact, like before, it's good to only focus on a Zhenfeng. Over time, it will always be able to surpass the source leaf. ”

Xue Yan took a sip of soup and swallowed the rice in his mouth.

"What do you want to say?"

"No, it's just a little missful of the past, when I worked hard with you, there was a goal that seemed to be extra energetic. ”

"So you don't think it's good right now?"

"Yes, of course. ”

"It's fine, but these days, you may have to take care of it. I have other things to do, and I probably can't take care of them on the company's side. ”

Wang Jingkai: "Got it. He took a sip of wine, thought about it, and couldn't help but ask, "Can you tell me what kind of business you are doing in private?"

"There are some things that I don't say just because you don't need to know. You've been following me for so many years, and you still don't know my temper?"

"Of course I know your temper, I just want to ask, I've been thinking for so many years, we should be the kind of friends who don't talk about anything, I ask, maybe you'll tell me?" he took another sip, "Still, I seem to be overestimating myself." ”

"There are some things that it is better not to know. ”

"Good. ”

This meal, Xue Yan was very full, he ate two bowls of rice, and the dishes on the table were all finished. After drinking with Wang Jingkai for a while, Wang Jingkai sent people back to Xue's house.

Xiao Wu has left, Xue Wei is no longer there, and this Xue Mansion is even more lonely.

Wang Jingkai sent people to the room, "Why don't there be many servants?"

"I'm the only one living in this house, what do I need so many servants for? I've fired half of it, and it's an eyesore when it's too crowded. ”

"Then it's better to send you to an apartment near the company just now, it's more convenient. ”

Xue Yan sat at the head of the bed, untied the watch and put it at the head of the bed, unbuttoned a few buttons on the collar of his shirt, and then lay down, pressed one hand to his eyes, and said, "It's okay, you can go back, I'll sleep for a while." ”

"Okay, you have a good rest. ”

He walked to the door, and Xue Yan spoke again, saying, "You asked someone to bring my dad back." ”

"Good. ”

Wang Jingkai didn't ask much, and after answering, he stood at the door for a while, and then retreated silently.

A week later, Xue Mingcheng returned.

Xue Yan went to work as usual, and on the other hand, Qi Run strengthened the management of those people in the team and expanded the team.

In the middle, I also had a phone call with Lao Wan and briefly exchanged a few words.

Ling Sui is now busy dealing with the affairs of the inner ghosts, so he will not have time to play Tai Chi with him.

Lao Wan knows about Xue Yan's sister.

He asked a few simple questions, Xue Yan responded normally, he said: "Ling Sui arrested someone in such a hurry, probably because he wanted to take the benefit of your sister, he didn't want to pull you into the game at all, anything to retreat, it's all bullshit." But since he said that he wanted to step down and let you take over, then you will replace him. If you replace him, then the two of us will cooperate in the future and we will definitely be able to achieve a win-win situation. ”

"I remember what happened this time. You're right, it's hard to work under him all the time, and now you have to replace him. Master Wan, this operation, you must take me, I promise to replace him, as long as it succeeds, I can share a little more of the benefits for you at that time. ”

"Okay. ”

......

Xue Mingcheng returned to Shencheng, and Xue Yan personally went over to pick up people.

He cultivated abroad, and his mentality changed, "I'll come back, does Xue Yan know?"

"I didn't inform her. ”

"Then inform her, let her come back with the child in the evening, and we will have a meal as a family." I have long wanted to come back, I see that you have lost a lot of weight and are very busy with work? I heard that Ye Lansheng is gone, and all the shares in his hand have fallen into Weiwei's hands, and now this source Ye is also taken care of by you?"

"Yes. ”

Xue Mingcheng nodded, "That's very tiring." Xue Yan has been in the Ye family now?"

"Yes, I have a good relationship with Ye Zeshan, and I think about my husband's family wholeheartedly. ”

Xue Mingcheng glanced at him, "Why did you suddenly call me back?"

Xue Yan said, "Don't you want to come back too?"

"I think yes, I think, I'm asking you. ”

"I'm going to go on a business trip after a while, maybe I'm going to have to go for a while, this company needs someone to take charge, I think about it, it's better for you to come back and take care of it for a while. Now the Xue family, I am left alone, Xue Wei is not here, Xue Yan can't count on it. The company fell into her hands, and maybe it was given to Ye Zeshan, so I can only find you back. ”

Xue Mingcheng sensed that he was a little different, "Is something wrong?"

"No, what can it be? Dad, now that we have achieved our original goal, the source leaf is already ours. When I come back this time, I will be able to sit in this position. ”

Xue Mingcheng didn't ask much, nodded, and said: "I have spent so much time abroad in my spare time, I do something I want to do every day, and the nanny at home arranges some small activities for me every day, and my life is quite comfortable." I suddenly figured it out, that's what life is called. You have lived a lifetime, and you have worked hard for so many years, but in the end, what is the most important? ”

"At that time, I will understand your grandfather's thoughts, chasing fame and fortune is enough to stop, and getting into it will hurt others and yourself in the end. After so long alone, I think of you and the days when I used to be together as a family. ”

Xue Yan smiled, noncommittal to his words.

Xue Mingcheng patted the back of his hand and said, "If you're tired, just stop." Zhenfeng's current results, you slow down, it doesn't matter. The body is the capital of the revolution, and taking care of the body can last a long time. Also, you are not young, you should think about your life's events and have a child. I heard that I went on a trip with a slight discouragement?"

"Hmm. ”

"Then you go with you, and coax her by the way. The two of you have been entangled for so long, if you want to be together, let's be together. ”

Xue Yan glanced at him, just smiled, and didn't say anything.

In the evening, Xue Yan called Wang Jingkai over and asked him to give Xue Mingcheng the company's affairs. He stayed in his room by himself, thinking about things.

He looked at the will on the table, which he had drawn up with a lawyer two days ago, and when he was drafting this contract, he suddenly couldn't think of who he could entrust with these properties in his hands. There was no one around him anymore, no wife and children, no brothers and sisters, only an old father.

If he dies, to whom will these things be given?

When he finished smoking, he didn't immediately extinguish it, but only picked it up and lit it. It was only when the tongue of fire reached his fingertips that he let go of his hand.

The black soot scattered in all directions, carrying sparks, which was very dangerous.
