The black Bentley drove all the way in the direction of the East Mountain, and the further east he went, the more desolate the scenery became, and the cars gradually became fewer.

The winter sky is very gloomy, and driving a little further down the mountain makes people feel like black clouds are crushing the city.

The car quickly stopped outside Ying'an Garden, and after Zhan Qi got out of the car, he first bought a bouquet of white chrysanthemums from the flower shop at the entrance of the cemetery, holding flowers in his arms, and then walked to the cemetery.

Xu Cheng followed him and caught up, "Big brother, I'll go with you." ”

Now the situation outside is dangerous, and he must have someone by his side at all times.

However, Zhan Qi waved his hand, "No need, you just wait for me here." I'll come when I go. ”

His tone was resolute, and Xu Cheng didn't want to say anything, so he had to nod helplessly and agree, watching his tall back walk into the cemetery.

In the cold winter world, Zhan Qi was wearing a long black woolen coat with a suit inside, and a bunch of white chrysanthemums in his arms, black and white commensurate, reflecting him even more indifferent and cold.

He walked straight to the innermost point, and soon stopped in front of his parents' tombstones.

Although he didn't come here often to visit his parents, he also sent someone to take care of his parents' graves, so no matter what time he came, it was always clean and tidy, much cleaner than ordinary people's tombs, except that some dust occasionally fell on the tombstones.

Zhan Qi walked up and gently wiped off the floating soil on the tombstone with his palm, and then put the white chrysanthemum in the crook of his arm in front of the tomb, stared at the names of his parents, and bowed deeply three times to the tombstone.

The tombstone of his parents was erected by Shi Yu at the request of Zhan Lu long after he went to Zhan's house.

At that time, although he had made many achievements, every time Zhan Lu asked him what reward he wanted. He would always think about Shi Yu and Xiao Qi first, and would always ask for some food or clothes for them.

Later, Shi Yu grew up a little, and when he followed him on a mission for the first time, he hit the leg of the opponent's undercover agent with a very accurate shot, so that the action was not exposed, and even caught the inner ghost, and then Zhan Lu led people to sweep away the last wave of enemies who had killing him at one time, and slowly cleared his own industry smoothly.

When he came back after that operation, Zhan Lu was very happy and appreciative and asked Shi Yu what he wanted.

Shi Yu thought for a while, and only said: "I hope that my father-in-law can erect a monument for our biological parents." ”

All the property in their family was burned in the fire, but Xiao Qi was unwilling to leave, they took their sister and hid next to the ruins at night. He always couldn't sleep all night long, so he could only take care of him and cry and sleep. My sister who fell asleep and continued to cry.

And Shi Yu will go to the place where the fire is located at night to pick up some relics.

After the fire was extinguished, even the firefighters said that the house was destroyed because there had been an explosion in the early stage, and then there was a fire, and there was basically no possibility that there was anything inside, so they gave up the idea of looking for valuables.

But Shi Yu was able to pick up some of his parents' clothes that had not yet been burned and some jewelry of his mother from the pile of black and black waste wood and rotten wood.

In fact, it is not very expensive jewelry, although their parents used to work in Song's executive positions, and his father is a high-paid talent in IT technology, but his parents are very economical, and most of the money is used for the education of their three siblings.

He remembered that he had studied violin for a period of time before he went to junior high school, Shi Yu learned drums, and Xiao Qi learned dance and piano. Once their parents really wanted to train them into artistic talents, but they didn't expect their hands to touch the gun in the end.

Song Qingtian values their parents very much, and the salary they give is the highest in the company - this is all after he entered the Song family, he slowly inquired about it.

He can still remember that after Shi Yupao pulled out those relics, he went to him excitedly and said happily: "Brother, look what I found." ”

Shi Yu showed him his parents' things. The clothes were actually burned, and the burned places turned into slag when touched, and Shi Yu carefully held them in his arms and carefully protected them, as if he was looking at some rare treasure.

He took out a mother's necklace from the ruins, the chain had been burned, and the pendant was also black, and it could not be restored to its original state, but he still stubbornly wore it around his neck, and he wore it for seven or eight years, and he was indifferent to the ridicule of those domestic servants and subordinates in the war gate.

In the end, Zhan Lu agreed to help their parents erect a monument, and on the day of the burial, he reluctantly put the necklace that could no longer see the original face into the tomb.

Now that I think about it, in fact, among the three of them, the person who values brotherhood and parental affection the most is Shi Yu.

Xiao Qi was too young, and later stayed in both the Zhan family and the Song family, and was protected by these two elder brothers, so he slowly got a lot better. And he is the eldest son, and he must take on the responsibility of avenging his parents, protecting his younger siblings, and finding the truth, and he has no time and cannot always immerse himself in the pain of his parents' death. He didn't pick himself up and couldn't survive with his younger siblings.

Only Shi Yu, although he didn't say it, but when he slept in the cement pipe at night, he had to touch the black pendant around his neck to sleep.

He never asked him how he slept on those nights after the pendant was buried with his parents' ashes.

But now it was different from the past, he didn't expect Shi Yu to go too far to the point of attacking his children and Song Qingge. He could tolerate Shi Yu's unbridled revenge on himself, it was a matter for the two of them, and he had nothing to say.

But he could not tolerate the women and children he loved.

Maybe this is him, just like Xiao Qi laughed at him at the beginning, his brain is a tendon, when he hates a person, he can't solve his hatred when he cuts that person one by one, but when he loves someone, he can't wait to dig out his heart and give it to her.

Zhan Qi raised his head and let out a long sigh, reached out and rubbed his somewhat sour eyes, turned around and prepared to leave.

However, just as he was about to leave, a male cleaner suddenly came over with a bucket, and immediately bowed when he saw him, "Mr. Zhan." ”

"Hmm." Zhan Qi nodded, looked back at the tombstone behind him, and asked him, "Here, have you been taking care of it all along?" ”

"Yes."

A smile appeared at the corner of Zhan Qi's mouth, "Thank you then, for a long time." Great work. ”

The man looked up at him in astonishment, his eyes full of surprise and surprise.

He had seen Zhan Qi before, this cold and indifferent man had been to the cemetery before, but every time he came here to sit down and leave, he had never said a word to them, and they had never seen him smile. There will always be a "Chuan" word in the center of the eyebrows, as if it is burdened with some deep hatred, and it will always be expressionless. They even secretly talked about it in private, maybe he was a person who couldn't laugh.

This was the first time that he saw Zhan Qi actually smile.

The cleaner nodded again and again in flattery, "Yes, yes, you're welcome." ”

"By the way, can you help me open this tomb?" Zhan Qi suddenly thought of something, "I want to find something." ”

"Then wait a minute, I'll call someone."

"Okay." Zhan Qi nodded.

The cleaner put down the bucket and turned his head and ran away, while Zhan Qi stood in place and waited quietly.

Snowflakes drifted in the sky unconsciously, this was the first snow in Rongcheng after winter, and the snowflakes fell on his shoulders one after another, Zhan Qi was stunned for a moment, and then stretched out his hand and let the snowflakes fall in his palm.

In December, the temperature was still relatively low, but fortunately, Song Qingge specially pulled him before he went out, and found this woolen coat for him to wear, so that it would not be too cold at this time.

Thinking of that gentle and demure woman, the corners of Zhan Qi's mouth couldn't help but evoke a sweet smile.

I don't know what she's doing at the moment, I really want to hurry home and see her and the child.

Soon the cleaner came over with the workers, because the tombs of Jingliang and Lin Nan were made of the best stones, and they couldn't be careless at all, otherwise it would be troublesome to knock out a good one.

A few workers carefully pried open the tomb, and a space about half a meter deep appeared, in which two sandalwood urns, a jewelry box, and some clothes were carefully packaged.

Zhan Qi half-knelt on the ground, reached down and took out the jewelry box from inside, gently brushed off the dust on the box, and carefully opened the small buckle on it.

The jewelry in the box was all the ones that Shi Yu pulled out of the fire at the beginning, and before the burial, Zhan Qi had asked a gold shop to repair those jewelry, some of which could be repaired, and some of which could not be repaired.

He rummaged through it for a while, but he never found what he was looking for.

Zhan Qi's heart tightened, and he rummaged through it again, but he still couldn't find it, and immediately looked up and asked the worker, "Has anyone else come to open this tomb?" ”

Several workers looked at each other, shook their heads and said: "No, the tomb must be registered in advance, some families pay more attention to feng shui and etiquette, and some have to invite people to recite scriptures or practices, and they can't open the tomb at will." ”

Zhan Qi looked at the box of black jewelry, and his heart suddenly sank.

The necklace that Yu had worn at the beginning was gone.

If no one had ever opened the tomb, then how could that necklace be missing?

But if someone came to drive it, who took it?

After asking the workers to rebuild the tomb, Zhan Qi turned his head and walked outside the cemetery, Xu Cheng had been waiting outside, and when he saw him come out, he immediately greeted him, holding an umbrella above his head.

He was in a very depressed mood today, so he didn't want to go back to the company, so he directly asked the driver to send him back to Song Yuan.

On the way back, Zhan Qi looked at the passing scenery outside the window, and suddenly said to Xu Cheng: "Ah Cheng." Go back and find an auspicious day, and then invite some mages to move Song Qingtian's grave. ”

Xu Cheng was stunned for a moment, looked at him with some surprise, and asked cautiously: "Big brother, what are you...... Let go of the past? ”

"Nope." Zhan Qi shook his head, his gaze still falling outside. "I can't let go until the truth is fully revealed, but no matter what, he is a clear father, and I should respect him. Otherwise, Qingqing would not be with me with confidence. ”

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and after a while, it was already a white expanse outside, and it rarely snowed so heavily in Banyan City. Zhan Qi looked at the snow scene outside, and couldn't help but feel much better.

When he returned to Song Garden, the heavy snow was still continuing, Xu Cheng got out of the car and opened the car door for him, opened the umbrella and raised it above his head, but Zhan Qi directly stretched out his hand to block it, "No, it's okay." ”

He walked straight into the garden, and in a few moments the snow was already falling all over his shoulders and hair, and as soon as he entered the garden, he heard laughter from inside.

"Auntie, you're chasing me~"

"Don't run, you girl, your sister-in-law and I are cross-country champions, isn't it trivial to catch you?"

"Mom, you see my sister-in-law bullying me, Mom, you also come to play with us~"

"Your mother still has a baby in her belly, don't call her, play with me."

Listening to those laughter, the corners of Zhan Qi's mouth unconsciously escaped a smile, and he accelerated his pace and walked towards the garden, and just after taking a few steps, a small person crashed directly into his arms.

Zhan Qi hurriedly supported her, "Be careful! ”

When I turned my head, I immediately laughed when I saw him, "Dad is back~"

"Hmm." Zhan Qi nodded, looking at the little girl in front of him, wearing a pink down jacket, UGG snow boots, and a woolen beanie, squatting down to brush the snow off his body for the child. "Look at what you're playing, I don't know if the snow is falling."

"Hehe~" Zhili smiled with him, and reached out to take his hand, "Dad also came to play with us!" ”

Zhan Qi let her pull him forward, Song Qingge smiled when he saw him, walked up and wiped the snow on his body with a tissue, and said softly: "I came back early today." ”

"Hmm. Missed you. Zhan Qi stretched out his hand and hugged her into his arms, burying his face in her neck socket and rubbing it.

When Song Qingge saw him like this, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and half-hugged him and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's okay, I just miss you and the child." Still holding her tightly, he asked, "How are you feeling today?" ”

"It's not good, it's still like that." Song Qingge pushed him away a little, held his face and asked, "What's wrong with you today?" Not quite right. ”

Zhan Qi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and said in a dumb voice: "Qingqing, there is something I want to say sorry to you." ”

"What's the matter?"

Zhan Qi sighed lightly, his voice a little heavy, "There was nothing wrong with what you suspected at the beginning, that incense is indeed problematic." I checked with the pharmacist at Yi Nanchen and found that the fragrance contained saffron and musk. ”

Anyway, there were some things he still needed to make clear to her, and he didn't want suspicion between the two of them.

Song Qingge was taken aback, "That's all medicine that can cause a slippery tire!" After she finished speaking, her eyes suddenly became a little cold, and she squinted at him and said, "Zhan Qi, could it be that incense, did you do it on purpose?" ”
