Zhang Cheng looked at the time, it was already more than twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, the firewood in the fire was almost burning, and a few slender flames were faintly glowing, the breeze was gusting around, and the weather was starting to get cooler. Chen Yan struggled to stand up, patted his clothes and took a deep breath. "Xiao Zhang, let's do it today, it's not too early, you and I won't leave!"

Zhang Cheng pressed the remote control of the car, and the headlights lit up. "Brother Chen, where do you live? I'll send you back! ”

Chen Yanxin waved his hand and smiled: "No need, I'll just walk back by myself, you can go back and rest early." ”

"But it's so late, you're ...... by yourself"

Before Zhang Cheng could finish speaking, a pair of thick and powerful hands shook it. "I'm used to it, it's okay, you go back, I'm leaving!" After saying that, he turned around and walked away alone.

Zhang Cheng suddenly thought of something, and shouted with his mobile phone: "Brother Chen, leave me a contact information!" The voice fell, there was no response, and he continued to shout: "I work in Novi, you can come to me at any time if you need anything......"

This sentence was shouted, and Chen Yanxin's response came from the darkness: "You and I are destined to meet again, and I am still waiting for you to tell me the story of the street girl!" Zhang Cheng laughed happily, and continued to open his throat and shouted loudly: "Okay! You'll need to stock up on wine next time! ”

Chen Yanxin had already walked away, Zhang Cheng returned to the car and lit a cigarette, smoking quietly alone. The headlights shone on the olive tree in front of him, an old tree with no one to rely on, and its trunk thick and straight.

Four months ago, I met June here, and then it involved a grudge entanglement; Today, four months later, I met Chen Yanxin under this olive tree, and it was another sad past. Zhang Cheng stared at this tree intently, and always felt that he had an inextricable fate with this tree, it was no longer an ordinary olive tree, it had too many stories to look back on.

The cigarette in his hand filled the car, his thoughts followed the repeated green smoke floating in the air, and the scenes of the tragedy flashed in his mind, as well as the sad picture of the father and son saying goodbye after the tragic death of Chen Yanxin's wife, what happened to this world? What is it that makes people lose their fundamental sanity? For the sake of purpose, he carelessly disregarded human life and harmed innocent people.

This is the same root, why is it too anxious to fry each other! Even if you are a brother, it is also the result of not seeking progress, if there is really a seven-inch and eight-foot difference in your heart, I believe that people's hearts are flesh and blood, as long as you can change your past wrongs, what can't you discuss? As the saying goes, brothers are of the same heart, and their profits are broken by gold, and what a beautiful thing it was was was ruined like this, it is said that blood is thicker than water, and how can brothers be so vicious and ruthless.

Zhang Cheng clenched the steering wheel, leaned hard against the back of the seat, how uncomfortable it felt to be betrayed, not to mention his own brother, who was unjustly released from prison for five years and had nothing, not to mention that the originally beautiful family of three reunited became a yin and yang difference, leaving a lonely widow, which was the painful taste of being betrayed by his brother, the fall of the company, and the departure of his wife.

He couldn't believe how much courage Chen Yanxin had relied on to get to where he was today in the past ten years, and he had raised his son alone, what could he do if he had more? Even if you have nothing, so what? Taking a deep breath, Zhang Cheng finally started the car and slowly turned around and drove home.

As soon as I opened the door when I got home, I saw Zhang Nuo still sitting in front of the TV watching TV, Zhang Cheng turned on the light, and Zhang Nuo cast a questioning look. "Where did you go? Why did you come back so late? ”

I wanted to laugh it off, but I thought that this Chen Yanxin was also a man of the year in the past, not to mention that Zhang Nuo was originally a drinker, thinking that if he knew the news of Chen Yanxin, he would definitely be happy, after all, for people who are good at drinking, they are greedy for such a mouthful. Zhang Cheng looked at Zhang Nuo and laughed, didn't rush to answer, sat on the side and drank a big sip of water, which was considered to moisten his throat and clear his throat.

Zhang Nuo felt a little wrong, and said slightly anxiously and puzzled: "What are you laughing at, say something quickly!" Zhang Cheng smiled triumphantly: "Dad, do you remember Thirteen Lixiang?" ”

Zhang Nuo's thick beard suddenly jumped, his eyes seemed to be shining through, and he whispered, "Hiss...... Thirteen Lixiang, of course remember, why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

Zhang Cheng laughed heartily, seeing Zhang Cheng laughing like this, Zhang Nuo looked left and right with surprise, thinking that there was such a treasure hidden in a corner, indeed! For him, who is addicted to alcohol, he hasn't tasted that bite for more than ten years. However, I didn't see any wine when I looked around, and my attitude seemed to be lost, and my words were slightly angry. "Stinky boy, what a scheming."

Zhang Cheng finally stopped laughing, and as expected, the old man did not change at all, and he still had deep feelings for Thirteen Lixiang. "You...... The doctor said you should drink less alcohol now. Zhang Nuo didn't answer or pay attention, and watched the TV intently.

"Although there is no wine, I have a message here that is more mellow than Thirteen Mile Xiang, Dad...... Do you want to know? ”

Zhang Nuo's body shook, and he snorted and smiled, but he couldn't see any expression on his face, thinking that this kid must have thought that he was bored at home, just thinking about having some fun, what good news could there be.

"Do you remember Chen Yanxin?"

As soon as Zhang Cheng asked, Zhang Nuo immediately sat up. "What did you say?" Zhang Cheng no longer had a hippie smile on his face, and said seriously: "I just met Chen Yanxin on the way back!" ”

This news really surprised Zhang Nuo, at least it made him stand up from the sofa, his face became extremely ugly, and his body couldn't help trembling slightly. "Don't talk nonsense, Thirteen Miles of Incense has been indulged for many years, Chen Yanxin has no trace, and the Chen Group has collapsed twenty years ago."

Such a reaction Zhang Cheng naturally expected, he just didn't expect that Zhang Nuo's reaction to mentioning this Chen Yanxin would be so big. "I ...... What I said was true, and we talked for a while before parting. ”

Zhang Nuo sat heavily on the sofa as if he had lost his strength, his eyes were full of fear, Zhang Cheng was even more puzzled, but the scene at this moment did not allow him to be suspicious, after all, he had just returned from the hospital, and his hands were immediately on Zhang Nuo's body. "Dad, what's wrong with you? I'll help you back to your room and rest. ”

Zhang Nuo realized that his actions had alarmed Zhang Cheng, raised his hand and patted Zhang Cheng's hand, tried his best to control his body, and said casually: "It's okay, I'm just suddenly a little uncomfortable, you go on......"

Although Zhang Cheng was puzzled, he had already said half of what he said, and he couldn't leave half of it in his throat, so he simply said it together. "We were all wrong! In fact, this is actually the case, the fall of the Chen Group 20 years ago was all due to Chen Yanxin's younger brother Chen Yanfei, who used the identity of agent equity to privately transfer the group to Huang Million, and what is even more incredible is that this Chen Yanfei later sent Chen Yanxin to prison, forcing the Chen family to die, and finally ended up like today. ”

Zhang Nuo slowly lit a cigarette, although tobacco and alcohol were already taboo for him, but at this time, if he didn't have a cigarette, he was afraid that he would fall to the side again. "That'...... So where is he now? ”

Zhang Cheng felt more and more strange that Zhang Nuo was so calm, how could he be so calm in the face of such news? There are different rumors about the Chen Group in the market, do you think you are joking? "It's not Dad, I'm ...... What I said was true, I did see him, right under that olive tree in the pasture on the outskirts of the city. ”

Zhang Nuo suddenly stared at Zhang Cheng with wide eyes, the expression on his face was so complicated that it was terrifying, it was a face that fell into contemplation, Zhang Cheng felt if he had said something that should not be said, he hurriedly closed his mouth and stopped talking, and the father and son sat quietly for a while. Suddenly, the upstairs lights came on.

"What are you two doing? What time is it that you can't say tomorrow? Ah Cheng, help your dad up and rest. ”

It was Lin Yun's voice, and the father and son came back to their senses, and then went upstairs to their rooms to rest.
