Chapter 118: Hope in the Child's Eyes
The night passed as if nothing had happened.
As always, Wu Fan also appeared on the street normally, and the Yuan family seemed to have forgotten the grievances with Wu Fan last night and no longer mentioned anything that happened last night.
As for the frightened Xue Laohui, who threatened to assassinate the inspector of the Intelligence Division, there was no action.
Among the sixteen wealthy businessmen who were severely taught a lesson by Wu Fan last night, those who took out their money and issued a commission to the Xue Lao Society, did not dare to ask the Xue Lao Hui why Wu Fan was still alive today.
The guests who attended the banquet last night even had the illusion that they were not dreaming.
However, the eleven ocean-going giants that the Yuan family was seized will not be a dream, and many ordinary people who shouted about the murder at the intelligence bar last night are real......
These facts tell them that what happened last night is true.
Even, from the mouths of the guests of the bar, it can be known that it is not that the Snow Boss has not taken action, but that the Snow Boss has failed!
This well-known assassin organization, known as Yang Wei in the name of assassination, was feared by everyone, not only failed to assassinate, but also suspected that the assassination team sent out that night was completely wiped out.
Whether it is the Yuan family, the Snow Elder Association, or the Intelligence Department, they are all silent about last night's events, and they are tacitly quiet.
But in this quiet atmosphere, the other wealthy businessmen in Haizhu City felt the feeling of suffocation that they couldn't breathe.
It is impossible for the Yuan family to endure the seizure of eleven ocean-going giant ships all the time, if the eleven giant ships of the Yuan family cannot go to sea, within half a month, all the ocean-going sea trade of the Yuan family will be eaten by other families, and the strength of the Yuan family will plummet and become a third-rate maritime merchant.
Even, the Yuan family, whose strength has plummeted, may be targeted by other maritime merchants or rising stars of the same level, and there is a danger of annihilation.
Therefore, the silence at this time was only temporary, and the Yuan family would never allow or bear the consequences of eleven giant ships being seized all the time.
This is especially true of the Snow Elders Society, which has been silent for many years due to the fall of the Assassin Army, and has quietly developed to this day, and now it is time to regain its glory.
If Wu Fan can't be killed, the prestige of the Snow Elders will become a joke.
......
Wu Fan ignored the next plans of the Yuan family and the Xue Lao Association, and today, the situation of Lu Chengfeng that he asked Guan Xiaoyue to investigate has already had results.
Lu Chengfeng is indeed a Northland warrior, one of the countless Northland warriors who died in a battle.
Fortunately, his body was brought back with the help of his comrades, and later the ashes were placed in a resting camp dedicated to storing the ashes and relics of the soldiers.
Because after Lu Chengfeng's death, Xiao Nan's family fell into the middle of the road, the family property was taken away, and Xiao Nan herself became an orphan with no identity.
Therefore, the Northland Rest Camp has not been able to contact Lu Chengfeng's relatives in Haizhu City, and his ashes have never been claimed.
At Wu Fan's request, the Northland military sent Lu Chengfeng's ashes back to Haizhu City as quickly as possible and handed them over to Wu Fan.
On the mountain behind the Lu family's old house, Wu Fan helped Xiao Nan bury Lu Chengfeng, and after arranging everything, Xiao Nan knelt in front of his father's tombstone and cried for a long time.
Wu Fan stood quietly behind Xiao Nannan, and as a general, he saluted Lu Chengfeng.
This represents a general's recognition of this warrior, and it also represents the honor that a sacrificed warrior deserves.
After being tired, Xiao Nannan cleaned up her mood and stood up with difficulty.
"This is the cemetery that my father chose for himself before his death, and he told my mother and me that if he is not there one day, he will be buried in the bamboo forest in the back mountain.
In this way, he can see our home and always guard our home!"
Standing in front of the tombstone, looking down the mountain, I happened to see the old house of the Lu family, and said to Wu Fanshu:
"At the beginning, those bad people just disliked this piece of land and thought it was unlucky to be chosen as a cemetery by their father, so they didn't snatch this piece of bamboo forest. ”
The bad people that Nan Nan said are none other than the relatives of the Lu family and Nan Nan's mother, the Gan family.
After Lu Chengfeng was nowhere to be heard from and suspected that he had died in battle, Lu Chengfeng's uncles and aunts had begun to covet the real estate and land left by the Lu family.
The uncle of the Lu family has come to the door many times, saying that there is a big age difference between him and Lu Chengfeng, and from childhood to adulthood, he is taking care of Lu Chengfeng's younger brother.
He was both a father and a mother, and he sacrificed a lot and demanded half ownership of Lu Chengfeng's house.
At that time, Nannan's mother refused, and no matter how the uncle of the Lu family tried to talk and take it by force, she was resisted by this weak but strong woman.
Until, after Nannan's mother also died of illness.
Without the protection of his mother, how can a young girl fight against those greedy relatives.
This time, not only the uncle of the Lu family, but also the relatives of the mother's mother's family, all vied to become the guardian of the Nannan on the grounds of taking care of Nannan, and tried every means to seize the real estate and land of the Lu family.
The young Nannan was naturally no match for these relatives, and was kicked out of the house and became an orphan living on the streets, only this cemetery, because of the buried Nannan's mother, these relatives felt unlucky, and it was preserved.
Wu Fan picked up Nannan, looked at the Lu family's mansion under the mountain, and said gently and firmly: "Don't worry, Nannan, now that your father is back, he will bless you and protect you back to your home!"
For the relatives of the Lu family and the relatives of the Gan family, Wu Fan already had a plan in his heart, but not now.
What he wants to do now is to let Nannan, and the child in the deserted yard who is in the same situation as Nannan, have a safe place to shelter from the wind and rain.
Only by settling the orphans of these fallen warriors in the North can he be qualified to continue to welcome back their ashes and let their souls return to their homeland.
When they return home, whether they are alive or sacrificed, they all hope to see a prosperous, peaceful, fair and stable hometown, and they all hope that their wives, children, and elderly parents can live and work in peace and contentment, and be happy and healthy.
It's not that the wealthy are raging, lawless, it's not that the family is poor, the parents have nothing to support, and the orphan girl has nothing to rely on!
Now she has complete trust in Wu Fan, and finally no longer hides from everyone, including Wu Fan, the hiding place of their group of orphans.
Although Wu Fan knew the location of the abandoned courtyard, he still asked Nan Nan to show the way, followed by a small school bus, and went to the abandoned courtyard to pick up her little friend.
......
In the small courtyard, Nannan's prestige among this group of children is very high, and under the assurance of patting her chest, she used the example of getting along with Wu Fan as an example, and used all methods to prove that Wu Fan was a good person and the highest leader of all of their fathers in the Northland Army.
"Brother General is a good man, he is my father, and the general trusted by all of you fathers, our fathers can trust him, and we can naturally trust him. ”
Nan Nan wanted to break her little head, and finally came up with this reason that she thought was the most convincing.
And the children seemed to be very convinced of this reason, nodded their heads, and finally let down their last bit of vigilance, and followed the girl out of the yard.
The children's eyes were full of caution and worry about the unknown life, but when they saw the brand-new and beautiful school bus and the uniform that Wu Fan had specially changed into today, their eyes were full of hope!
