"I'll go up first, and you'll follow!" said the young man.

The other two nodded.

The young man picked up a piece of rope, climbed up the ladder, and with great care pushed the hatch open a finger slit, through which the moonlight shone in his wary eyes.

Next to the hatch, a pirate was napping against a barrel, holding a spear in his arms.

There was hatred in the young man's eyes, but his right hand pushed the hatch open steadily and slowly, avoiding the rattle of the doorshaft from waking the pirates.

When he finally pushed the door open, the sea breeze blew in his face and ruffled his hair.

He pulled out his rope and quietly walked behind the pirate.

He glanced at his younger brother Cheng Ji, who nodded at him.

The rope was put around the pirate's neck, and the young man mustered all the strength in his body, and suddenly pulled back, and Cheng Ji covered the pirate's mouth with both hands, blocking his shouts back.

One of the remaining companions pounced on the pirate and held him down by the hands and feet.

Thump...... Thump!

The slight noise dissipated into the night, and the pirate straightened his feet and soon died silent.

The young man gasped, picked up the gun and tossed it to his brother, who fumbled around the pirate for a dagger.

"I remember there's a boat tied to the stern, let's go quietly!"

He was still at the forefront, his shiny blade glowing in the moonlight, and the young man was like a vengeful wolf, full of ferocity, and he met two pirates along the way, all of whom he covered his mouth and killed.

The smell of blood is quietly filling!

Everything was going well, but as they crossed the deck, they were spotted by a pirate who had risen at night.

"Someone ......"

"Bang!"

Cheng Ji held a spear, and brown smoke came out of the muzzle.

The pirates fell in response.

However, it was like stabbing a hornet's nest, and the ship was instantly agitated, and pirates rushed from all directions with weapons.

"Let's go!"

The three of them didn't bother to hide their whereabouts, and hurried to the stern of the boat to find the boat.

"If you can't run far with this, the pirates will soon be chasing you!"

"There are oil drums on deck!"

"I'll go and do it, Chengji, you and Huazi ......"

Bang!

Shang Chengji suddenly raised the butt of his gun and smashed him on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious.

"Second Young Master, what are you doing?"

"Huazi, take my brother and get on the boat!"

"But ......"

Shang Chengji grabbed his shoulders hard and said, "I can die, but he can't!"

"I'll definitely bring the eldest young master back!" Hua Zi said with red eyes.

The boat swayed into the distance, and Shang Chengji resolutely returned to the deck with three guns on his back.

The flames were monstrous and swept quickly.

"Brother, the Shang family will rely on you in the future!"

He was covered in blood, but he was smiling.

……

Shang Chengjun suddenly woke up from his dream, grabbed his hand into the air, and his body fell to the ground.

Liu Yong, who had always slept lightly, heard the movement and walked in, turned on the light to look, and found that the old man was sitting on the floor, like a stone, motionless.

He looked startled, walked over quickly and shouted, "Master?"

Shang Chengjun glanced at him in a trance, and his gaze gradually became focused.

"I'm fine!"

Liu Yong helped him up, and Shang Chengjun sat on the edge of the bed, holding a cane in his hand, and fell into memory.

That was a long, long time ago!

For political reasons, martial law was declared in the East China Sea, and a ban on the sea was issued.

At that time, Hongyuan International only did shipping and did not set foot in other industries, so once the ban was issued, it was almost a death sentence for the Shang family.

His father became ill and was admitted to the intensive care unit, and all the burden was on him, the eldest son.

Luckily, he still has a younger brother to talk to.

They decided to take a chance and take their goods out to sea from the North Estuary, bypassing most of the East China Sea and passing through the half-tide islands dotted with reefs to trade with the Philippines.

However, after going to sea, they met pirates!

Twenty-six people went out, and only two came back.

In the ancestral hall of the Shang family, there are twenty-four more spirit tablets carved by him.

Among them, there is his own brother Shang Chengji!

He died for him, and Shang Chengjun has always felt guilty in his heart!

Therefore, he regards Shang Zhicai and Shang Qingya as his own.

For Yulang Yuchang, he is also as close as an heir, and has the inheritance right of the Shang family like Yuxuan!

That's what he owes!

If they really have a big future, Shang Chengjun doesn't mind passing on the group to them, even if Yuchang's surname is Wei, it's just the same as Yuxuan, just changing his surname.

Bloodline, kinship, these have never been what he values, otherwise he would have established Yuxuan as his heir.

If a family wants to continue for a long time, ability is the most important thing!

So a long time ago, he began to pay attention to the three of them, and then naturally came to a conclusion.

Yuchang has an impulsive personality, likes to take risks, and is a little smart, often arrogant in good times, and easy to give up on himself in adversity, so he is not the right person.

Yu Lang, generous personality, kind to others, but do not seek to win, only undefeated, no firm will, in a high position, easy to be swayed.

As for Yu Xuan, he has been very old since he was a child.

The first time he saw him, and the conversation between them in the hotel, Shang Chengjun still remembers it vividly.

His personality is a little lazy, but he is not weak, he knows how to measure things, knows how to advance and retreat, has the stomach to tolerate small things, and has the courage to be open and enterprising.

It's just that the business experience is still shallow, and it still needs to be tempered!

He slowly saw this, and as it turned out, he was right.

Liu Yong poured him a glass of warm water and said worriedly: "Master, why don't I call Dr. Zhuang and check your pulse?"

"No!"

Shang Chengjun drank the water and ordered: "Call Jin Yan back, Yuchang's case, I can only rest assured if it is handed over to him!"

Liu Yong was stunned and nodded in agreement.

Shang Chengjun lay down again, closed his eyes and rested.

As long as he is there, he will eventually help them hold up a piece of the sky!
