Just when Xiao Zheng was puzzled by this, his mobile phone rang, without any hesitation, Xiao Zheng took out his mobile phone, and when he saw the name on the caller ID, Xiao Zheng's face showed a contemplative look.

Could it be Xiao Jingteng's hand? But he clearly said that there was no way to take Dong Yongsheng, and even if he did, it would not be possible to do it so quickly.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Zheng still connected the phone.

Before Xiao Zheng could speak, Xiao Jingteng's excited voice immediately came from the earpiece: "Xiao Zheng, I really worship you so much, you are my idol! ”

After hearing Xiao Jingteng's voice, Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly, even Xiao Jingteng thought it was Xiao Zheng's handiwork, let alone others.

Xiao Zheng said with a smile: "If I tell you, don't you believe it if I didn't do it?"

"Then it must be ......" Xiao Jingteng was halfway through his words, and immediately asked in astonishment: "You said you didn't do it?!"

At this time, Xiao Jingteng's voice was full of shock, when he learned the news, he thought that Xiao Zheng did it, but he didn't expect that it was not Xiao Zheng who did it. How could he not be shocked.

Xiao Zheng said helplessly: "I really didn't do it, I am also wondering who is so big and can kill Dong Yongsheng overnight." ”

Xiao Jingteng didn't speak, but fell into silence, but after a short silence, Xiao Jingteng spoke: "Don't care who did it, Dong Yongsheng is dead anyway." In addition, whether you did it or not, everyone must think that you did it. But that's fine, others won't dare to mess with you. ”

Although Xiao Jingteng was right, and Xiao Zheng did have the idea of killing Dong Yongsheng, but now Xiao Zheng's heart is inevitably aggrieved.

"That's it. Xiao Zheng's voice was full of helplessness.

"Alright, so be it. Then Xiao Jingteng hung up the phone.

After Xiao Zheng hung up the phone, he stood up and took a deep breath, and then walked towards the backyard of Xiao's house.

At this time, in the backyard of the Xiao family, Song Xiyue was accompanying Old Man Xiao to play Go. In China, whether it is chess or Go, it can be said to be the quintessence of China, with a history of thousands of years, and whether it is Go or chess, it is like a battle between two armies, it is necessary to fight wits and courage.

After the old man Xiao retired, he has been immersed in Go, and the high level of chess skills is self-evident, and Song Xiyue only occasionally plays two hands, from this point of view, it can be immediately seen that the two are not at the same level above Go at all. Then it can be seen from this that Song Xiyue and Old Man Xiao must have lost more and won less when playing Go.

After dropping a son again, Old Man Xiao's face showed a smile again: "Yueyue, you lost again." ”

Song Xiyue was not sad because of the loss, but said with a smile: "Old man, I just said that I am not your opponent, but you don't believe it, now I believe that I didn't lie to you, right?

Go down with Xiao Zheng, and he may be able to draw with you. ”

Old Man Xiao waved his hand and said: "If you don't play with him, it's not interesting to play with him, that stinky boy has too many eyes, and his chess level must be good." Let's go down with the two of us, then I will be the victorious general!"

At this moment, Old Man Xiao is completely like an old naughty boy with a childlike heart, with a little pride on his face.

"I don't want to be with you, and I don't want to be a defeated general. Song Xiyue pouted, like a little girl who was coquettish to her elders.

While the two were talking, Xiao Zheng walked over, and when he saw Go, Xiao Zheng immediately asked, "Old man, what about chess?"

"What do you say, your eyes are out of breath?" Old Man Xiao glanced at Xiao Zhengdao.

After hearing Old Man Xiao's words, Xiao Zheng didn't know what to say for a while, this old man's words can choke people to death.

In Xiao Zheng's memory, after he returned to the Xiao family, the old man didn't seem to really dot on him once, but Song Xiyue was very loved by the old man Xiao, and Xiao Zheng was quite helpless about this, but there was no way.

Seeing that Xiao Zheng was silent, Old Man Xiao might have felt that it was a little too much, so he asked again in a slow tone, "What are you looking for me?"

Xiao Zheng: "Old man, Dong Yong is alive and dead, do you know it?" ”

Old Man Xiao lightly pointed to the newspaper beside him: "I saw it, it has already made headlines, and it is difficult to know it." ”

Xiao Zheng smiled, touched his nose and said, "I had a conflict with him yesterday, and I made him kneel in front of me, and I also cut his son." ”

After hearing Xiao Zheng's words, both Song Xiyue and Old Man Xiao showed shocked expressions on their faces, and when they looked at Xiao Zheng, they were like looking at aliens.

"You let Dong Yongsheng's bastard kneel in front of you?!" Old Man Xiao asked with a tiger's eyes.

Xiao Zheng nodded embarrassedly: "I also gave him a shot and beat him." ”

Old Man Xiao then asked with a shocked face, "You still cut his son?"

"Not only did it cut, but it was also beaten half to death. ”

After Old Man Xiao heard this, his old face immediately turned dark: "Don't tell me, Dong Yongsheng was pushed down from the upper floor." ”

Xiao Zheng hurriedly said, "I didn't do this. I did want to kill him, but before I could do it, this guy jumped off the building and killed himself. ”

Song Xiyue came back to her senses, looked at Xiao Zheng and asked, "Xiao Zheng, this is the group of ruffians you told me yesterday?"

Xiao Zheng nodded helplessly: "That's because I don't want you to worry, but in fact it is indeed Dong Yongsheng." ”

Song Xiyue was immediately speechless.

"You really didn't kill it?" Old Man Xiao said seriously.

Xiao Zheng explained again: "I thought about killing him, but I really didn't kill him. ”

Old Man Xiao stroked his beard and said, "But I guess everyone must think that you did it." ”

Xiao Zheng nodded and said, "I know, that's exactly what I'm here to ask you." ”

After Old Man Xiao once again confirmed that it was not Dong Yongsheng who Xiao Zheng killed, his face slowly improved, and he said domineeringly: "Don't worry about them, how to live and how to live, you are not afraid of crooked shadows." Could it be that those bastards still want to touch my grandson, and I turned against them. ”

After hearing Old Man Xiao's words, Xiao Zheng's face immediately showed a smile, what he wanted was Old Man Xiao's words.

"Someone is trying to trouble you?" a voice asked.

Xiao Zheng turned his head and saw a black figure appear in front of Xiao Zheng's eyes, because the bamboo forest was relatively dense, Xiao Zheng didn't see who it was at the first time, but as the footsteps approached, Xiao Zheng could see the person clearly.

The person who came was none other than Old Man Xiao's fifth son, Xiao Wenyuan, that is, Xiao Zheng's fifth uncle and Xiao Jingteng's father.

After Xiao Wenyuan came to Old Man Xiao, he immediately said respectfully to Old Man Xiao: "Dad." ”

And at the same time as Xiao Wenyuan spoke, Song Xiyue also stood up from the stool and hurriedly shouted, "Fifth uncle." ”

Xiao Wenyuan looked at Song Xiyue with a smile, and said hello to Song Xiyue.

Old Man Xiao didn't raise his head, and asked, "Did you come to me today for anything?"

"Dad, I'm looking for Xiao Zheng. Xiao Wenyuan glanced at Xiao Zheng, then turned his head to Old Man Xiao and said respectfully.

After Xiao Zheng heard this, he was stunned, what could Xiao Wenyuan do to find himself?

Old Man Xiao raised his head and glanced at Xiao Wenyuan, waved his hand and said, "Since you two uncles and nephews have something to discuss, go and talk about it, I just have Yueyue with me." ”

Then Xiao Zheng followed Xiao Wenyuan out of the backyard and came to the former house of the Xiao family.

Xiao Zheng very politely gave Xiao Wenyuan a cigarette, but Xiao Wenyuan refused because he didn't smoke.

"Fifth Uncle, do you have anything to do with me?" Xiao Zheng gently spit the smoke out of his mouth and asked Xiao Wenyuan.

Xiao Wenyuan asked, "I heard that you and Dong Yongsheng father and son had some conflicts in the bar last night?"

After Xiao Zheng saw the news of Dong Yongsheng's death, he knew that the conflict between him and Dong Yongsheng's father and son last night would definitely spread today, so he didn't deny it, but nodded: "Yes." ”

Xiao Wenyuan said with some concern: "Now many people outside say that you forced Dong Yongsheng to death." ”

Xiao Zheng nodded: "I can imagine it." ”

Xiao Wenyuan smiled at this time and said, "But although you said that you did it, there are two ways of saying it. ”

"What two statements?" Xiao Zheng had a puzzled look on his face.

Xiao Wenyuan said with a smile: "One of them is that you asked people to push him down from the upper floor, but the other is because he couldn't bear the blow of Dong Fangjun being cut off by you and chose to commit suicide, but I know that neither of these is possible, although I don't have much desire for power, it doesn't mean that I don't know what kind of person Dong Yongsheng is." And although I don't know you, I can think that even if you have the heart to kill Dong Yongsheng, you won't do it, and you will choose to use legitimate means to deal with him. ”

"What did the fifth uncle come to me for today?" Xiao Zheng's face showed a smile.

Xiao Wenyuan said worriedly: "Someone will make a fuss about this matter, it's better for you to be careful." The Xiao family is no longer the Xiao family of the past, the current Xiao family is gorgeous on the outside, but it is in ruins on the inside, and there is no family affection at all. ”

Although Xiao Wenyuan is not interested in the struggle of the power family, this does not mean that he does not understand these things and cannot see them clearly.

Xiao Zheng asked puzzled. "Thank you Fifth Uncle for the reminder, I will pay attention, but why did Fifth Uncle tell me this?"

"Because your surname is Xiao, and you are my nephew. Xiao Wenyuan's face showed a kind smile.

After hearing Xiao Wenyuan's words, Xiao Zheng was shocked, and his heart was instantly wrapped in warmth, because since he returned to the Xiao family, except for Old Man Xiao, this was the first person in the Xiao family to care about him like this, and it could be seen that it was from the bottom of his heart.

Xiao Wenyuan stretched out his hand and patted Xiao Zheng's shoulder gently, and then said, "And I don't want you to follow your father's old path, understand?"

"Fifth uncle, I understand. ”

Xiao Wenyuan sighed: "Alas, your father was too stubborn and too strong back then. If he had listened to me, he wouldn't have ...... Alas, forget it, the past is gone, as long as you are still there. ”

Then Xiao Wenyuan's face showed a smile again and said to Xiao Zheng: "Xiao Zheng, you have been back to the Xiao family for a few days, have you ever seen your other uncles come to see the old man in the past few days?"

"I haven't seen it. Xiao Zheng's face showed a bitter aura.

Xiao Wenyuan smiled again and asked, "Then what do you see?"

Xiao replied truthfully: "They are all afraid of the old man, so they don't dare to come, and they are all planning for their own interests, because my appearance has broken the original distribution of interests of the Xiao family." ”

Xiao Wenyuan said with some sadness: "You are right, this is the current situation of the Xiao family. They are now only thinking about how to maximize their own interests, but they ignore the most important thing - family affection. ”

Xiao Zheng sighed helplessly when he heard this.

At this time, Xiao Wenyuan changed the topic again: "You know what kind of person your uncle and your second uncle are, although your cousins and uncles didn't say anything, as long as they find an opportunity, they will definitely bite you hard." ”

Xiao Zheng was convinced of Xiao Wenyuan's words, after he came to the Xiao family, he was basically an unwelcome existence, perhaps just like Xiao Jingfang, Xiao Zheng's aunt who was above the lobby of the Xiao family at that time, said that there were only three people in the Xiao family who welcomed him back, and among the three of them was Xiao Wenyuan.

Xiao Zheng said indifferently: "Fifth uncle, don't worry, I'm not easy to mess with, I'm in a hurry...... I, I'll put them all down!"

Xiao Wenyuan's voice changed suddenly: "Nonsense! Xiao Zheng, infighting will only make others see jokes, and will only make others pick up cheap, don't you understand?"

Xiao Zheng said without showing weakness: "Fifth uncle, do you want me to be bullied by them like this?

Xiao Wenyuan said with a little meaning: "Endure the calm for a while, take a step back and open the sky." ”

These words didn't make Xiao Zheng very alert, but Xiao Wenyuan's intriguing expression made Xiao Zheng fall into deep thought.

Seeing that Xiao Zheng listened a little, Xiao Wenyuan spoke again: "Yesterday I saw your father-in-law Song Daolin, and he also meant the same. ”

"Did you see him?" Xiao Zheng was stunned.

Xiao Wenyuan nodded: "Yes, after all, you married someone else's daughter, and someone came to the Xiao family, shouldn't our Xiao family show a little bit?"

Xiao Zheng said to Xiao Wenyuan gratefully: "Fifth uncle, thank you." ”

Xiao Wenyuan waved his hand and said: "Don't thank me, it's all a family, and this is also arranged by the old man, if you want to thank him, go and thank him." Originally, I wanted to invite your old father-in-law to come to Xiao's house to sit down, but he said that there were a lot of things going on in Xinghu City, so he left after eating yesterday. ”

Xiao Wenyuan smiled again at this time and said: "But he is still very satisfied with you, let me persuade you more, don't be rash, otherwise you will be quick and fall into the abyss." ”

"Fifth Uncle ......"

Xiao Wenyuan interrupted Xiao Zheng's words, and said with a somewhat solemn face: "Before he left, he repeatedly told me, let me tell you not to be rash, he said that he has lost a son, and he doesn't want to lose even your son-in-law." ”

Fountain Xiao Wenyuan's words, Xiao Zheng only felt a sharp sour in his heart, Song Daolin's concern for him, Xiao Zheng has always known, and in Song Daolin's heart, he has never regarded Xiao Zheng as a son-in-law, but completely as a son.

Xiao Zheng took a deep breath, then looked up at the sky shrouded in dark clouds, and then said: "Fifth uncle, don't worry, I know, I will try to be more restrained in the future, and give less people a handle." ”

Xiao Wenyuan smiled lightly, patted Xiao Zheng and said, "That's good, you can find me for anything, although I don't have power, I can still help you." ”

"Fifth uncle, that Jingteng ......"

Before Xiao Zheng finished speaking, Xiao Wenyuan waved his hand and said: "Comprehensive strength, Jing Teng is not as good as you, we all know this, so you are more suitable for living than him." ”

After that, Xiao Wenyuan also pointed to the location of the main house of the Xiao family's old mansion.

"Fifth Uncle ......"

Xiao Wenyuan waved his hand and interrupted: "Xiao Zheng, it's not that the fifth uncle is hypocritical, and it's not that the fifth uncle doesn't want Jing Teng to live there. Although I don't have much interest in where I live, but my son is interested, and I should help my son with affection and courtesy, and Jing Teng is not bad, is it?"

Xiao Zheng nodded.

Xiao Wenyuan continued: "But there is a need for a more suitable person to live there, there was no you before, then Jing Teng is indeed the most suitable person, but now with you, it is different, you are more suitable than him." My own son I know that the territory is insufficient, but there is more than enough to defend the city, and you are different, you can attack and defend, if the Xiao family is handed over to you, it is not impossible to be able to prosper for decades, or even for a century. Although the Xiao family is now in ruins, I believe that you will be able to make this ruin a gorgeous world again, a world that knows cold and warm. ”

Seeing that Xiao Zheng was a little moved again, Xiao Wenyuan patted him again and said, "Okay, don't have too much psychological burden because I said this." Don't worry, if you have something to do in the future, you can find me and your aunt and sister-in-law, we will all support you!"

"Fifth uncle, in fact, I don't have much interest in which position, really. Xiao Zheng said with a wry smile.

Xiao Wenyuan's face changed suddenly, and his voice became extremely serious: "If you are not interested, you have to cultivate interest, you have to live in that place, you have to live in it, you have to live in it, understand?"

Xiao Zheng said with some complaints: "Why do you have to let me live in a certain location, can you tell me why?" Xiao Zheng asked very puzzled.

Xiao Wenyuan sighed, and said to Xiao Zheng with some embarrassment: "If you don't live anywhere, you will die, and no one may be able to protect you at that time!"

After hearing Xiao Wenyuan's words, Xiao Zheng's face changed suddenly, and a bad premonition immediately rose in his heart.

"Why do you say that?!" Xiao Zheng said as he stared at Xiao Wenyuan.

Xiao Wenyuan took a deep breath, and said with a little moistness in his eyes: "The old man's time is running out. ”

Xiao Wenyuan's words buzzed in Xiao Zheng's ears like thunder.

Xiao Zheng was completely stupid, just standing in place like that, the originally bright eyes also lost their color at this moment, and Xiao Zheng's eyes were like black holes at this moment, and the bottom was invisible.

Xiao Wenyuan's words were like a magic spell, echoing in Xiao Zheng's mind all the time, and they couldn't dissipate for a long time.

He never thought that Old Man Xiao, who looked so tough, would actually leave him.

After a long while, Xiao Zheng came back to his senses, and he said with some excitement: "Fifth uncle, are you joking with me?"

Although he has not been with Mr. Xiao for a long time, Mr. Xiao can choke Xiao Zheng to death every word he says, but Xiao Zheng can still feel that Mr. Xiao really cares about him and really likes him as a grandson.

But now Xiao Wenyuan told Xiao Zheng that Old Man Xiao was running out of time, which made Xiao Zheng unable to accept it for a while.

He hasn't accompanied Old Man Xiao yet, and he hasn't experienced what it's like to be a grandson, but Xiao Wenyuan told him, you don't have much time to be a grandson, how can Xiao Zheng accept it?

"Xiao Zheng, you calm down, I don't want to do this, but everyone is born, old, sick and dead, isn't it?" Xiao Wenyuan roared in a low voice.

Hearing Xiao Wenyuan say this, Xiao Zhengcai calmed down a little, but he still looked depressed.

Xiao Wenyuan didn't speak again, but he knew that Xiao Zheng needed to digest this matter.

After a while, Xiao Zheng asked a little bitterly: "Fifth uncle, what's going on, what kind of illness does the old man have?"

Xiao Wenyuan was silent for a few seconds, and then sighed before he spoke: "I don't know, he never said, I only know that he occasionally coughs up blood." ”

"Then you didn't ask the doctor?" Xiao Zheng immediately roared.

Xiao Wenyuan shook his head and said a little helplessly: "I asked, but the old man gave a gag order, no one is allowed to leak it, and the people who treated him are still some old military doctors, do you think I can ask anything?"

Xiao Zheng said a little anxiously: "Then you won't threaten the doctor?!"

Xiao Wenyuan said: "Why didn't you threaten, I almost killed his family, but it was still useless, these guys would rather die than reveal what kind of disease the old man had." ”

Xiao Zheng fell into silence, if this is really the case, then there is really no way, unless Old Man Xiao says it himself.

Just when Xiao Zheng fell silent, Xiao Wenyuan spoke again: "But I guess it should be that there is a residual bullet in the old man's body that has not been taken out, which is also part of the reason." ”

"Bullets?how many moments?" Xiao Zheng was stunned.

Xiao Wenyuan nodded and said: "Yes, the old man once led his troops to the Golden Triangle and other places to ambush the big drug lord Kunsha, although Kunsha was killed in the end, but the old man was also shot twice, but it seems that only one bullet was taken out at that time." ”

Xiao Zheng said with some unhappiness: "Ambushing a drug lord is just going to make the old man, the chief, be injured, this is actually not boring, I don't believe it if I am killed!"
