Chapter 163: The Woman in the Church Prayers [Finale]
Chen Jun went out and saw no trace of Marlena.
He inquired about the servant, but received no answer, so he searched around, but still did not see her.
In his heart, Chen Jun was not worried that she would have any accidents, this was the territory of the Corleone family, and everyone nearby had seen her, and no one dared to be presumptuous.
He thinks there may be some emotions in Marlena's mind, but what she sees is only part of the truth.
Clemenza, Lucabrazi and the others caught up, and he couldn't pursue it anymore, so he had to settle the current matter first.
Through this bloody purge, most of the relatives of the five major families disappeared inexplicably, or were sent to prison.
Through Chen Jun's early arrangement and operation, the Corleone family ended in a complete victory.
But then there are many things, the Corleone family gang industry problem, the five family gang industry problems, the five family asset disposal problems, and so on.
These have to be solved by Chen Jun within a month, for example, the Corleone family gang industry is divided into several parts, and Luca Brazzi, Ivan, and Rad are related to take over.
The Corleone family will not plunder any gang property of the five major families, half of it will be handed over to Clemenza, he has received Chen Jun's promise, and he needs these to set up a personal family, and the other half He intends to let the gang leaders of the original five major families divide up, things cannot be done, the people below must always have food to eat, so that they can also bring a good reputation to the Corleone family, when they divide the original five family industries, they will be regarded as Corleone's accomplices.
As for the wealthy sunshine assets of the five major families, Chen Jun also does not plan to ask for them, and those will be handed over to those who contribute outside this bloody battle.
The affairs were busy until two or three o'clock in the morning, the lights in the office were always on, and no one would leave easily, except to express their gratitude to William. Tang Dynasty. In addition to the respect and loyalty of the title of Corleone, they all knew that this meeting would change the landscape of all gangs in New York.
The Corleone family is determined to go, cut off from all the gangs, and transform into a plutocratic political family like the Morgan and Rockefeller families that affect the whole United States, and everyone can only offer respect and envy from the bottom of their hearts.
That kind of rank is already another level.
Now no one knows how deep the Corleone family is, this is no longer how many people in the gang can measure, just like Morgan, Rockefeller can't see the existence of force, but it is easier to easily kill the head of the five major families than to step on an ant, and the weapons of politics and law can be called a dimensionality reduction blow to these gangs.
The Corleone family already has this ability faintly, and it is not difficult to see from the aftermath of this war that it can make those characters standing behind the five major family gangs dare not move, and no one can make a move, which shows the terrifying background of the Corleone family.
The characters who can get ahead in the gang are not stupid, and from this invisible black smoke, it is learned that the Corleone family dares to cut the affairs of the gang and indirectly control Clemenza and Lucabrazi, and you can find that the Corleone family has great confidence.
But here's the problem, although the assets of the old godfather's subordinates are hidden but can always be found, but such a big change has occurred in a short period of time, and no one can understand it.
They can only blame the enigmatic Corleone family at the helm, William. Tang Dynasty. Corleone.
At 4 o'clock in the morning, the sky was getting white, and the gang leader in the office gradually left with joy, Chen Jun rubbed his eyes, relieved the dryness of his eyes, and exhaled.
He dragged his somewhat tired body to his room, where there was still no sign of Marlena on the bed.
Now, Chen Juncai realized that something was wrong.
He instructed the butler, called all the servants, and asked, "Have you seen Marlena in the middle of the night, I would like to know the information." ”
"I know." A freckled girl raised her hand, "I saw Lady Marlena walking towards the boulevard, I asked her, but she didn't answer me. ”
"Good." Chen Jun motioned to the butler, "I'm sorry, I woke you up while you were asleep, and you can get an extra three days of payment." ”
Immediately, he walked quickly out of the Corleone family, followed by the bodyguards who accompanied him.
It was nearly 5 o'clock in the morning, the morning dew was slightly cool, and stepping on the asphalt road of the boulevard, Chen Jun thought about where Marlena would go.
Running away from home is definitely impossible, Marlena is not that kind of person.
He recalled her eyes before, and it was very complicated under the gaze, and he couldn't even analyze what she was thinking at that moment?
Chen Jun paused, slowly recalling the changes that had taken place when Marlena followed him to and from all over the United States.
He found that there were many changes in her personality, but he ignored this contrast because of his busy affairs, and took it for granted.
Thinking about it now, what image is he in her mind?
Sicily, that generous and enthusiastic gentleman of grace, with a sense of humor, was always able to understand her difficulties and predicaments, and gave her the most intimate comfort and care.
They are like a couple in love, he is enthusiastic, and Marlena responds with warm emotions and beautiful enchantment.
But what about now?
In life, she takes care of his daily life, diet, and personality like an all-beautiful woman, cheerful, free, and dedicates hot enthusiasm in bed, but he rarely responds as much as before, and everything is normal.
Marlena has always been a traditional woman with a soft heart, what image has he created for her in the past six months?
Cold?
A word about human life?
A union of interests, a high throne, and a control of everything?
Chen Jun sighed in his heart, he never doubted Marlena's sincere feelings for him, which might have a partial impact on her, but it was really not as serious as her brain supplement.
He shook off his hand and jerked to the left.
There is a small church next to the boulevard in Long Beach, where the residents of the neighborhood often come to worship.
Running fast on the mottled bluestone pavement, the dawn broke, a faint white mist rose, and the dew condensed and bent the green grass tips, and also wet his dress.
Outside, the chapel looks deserted, passing by the white fountain sculptures.
Chen Jun walked in, and the first thing he saw was that Marlena's back was stretched extremely long by the light, and she knelt under the statue, put her hands on the wings of her nose, closed her eyes quietly, and prayed sincerely like a saint.
She's been praying for him all night!
Her face was pale, and it was not a pleasant feeling, and Marlena, who had never believed in any church, was now enduring such pain.
"Are you praying to God to be cleansed from my sins?"
A faint smile tugged at the corner of Chen Jun's mouth, and he thought about the draft in his heart for a moment, and slowly walked towards her.
"William?"
Hearing the voice, Marlena turned around in surprise.
"Get up, you don't believe in any god, but you prayed for me all night, and I feel very distressed." Chen Jun half-squatted beside Marlena and said softly.
Marlena hesitated, but still didn't get up.
"When you're with me, you rarely kneel to me."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Marlena's face flushed, and she remembered the scene with him, and felt like she was blaspheming now.
Chen Jun smiled, "If you don't get up yet, then I'll hug it." ”
Before Marlena could react, Chen Jun picked her up and slowly walked out of the church.
"William, you let me down." Marlena's tone was helpless, with a hint of anger on her face.
Chen Jun still ignored him, and waited until he reached the fountain before letting him down, pointing to the stone rock on the stone wall of the fountain, signaling the bodyguard to leave, and bringing some breakfast over.
There was no one around, quiet and peaceful, only the surrounding white mist slowly dissipated in the crisp sound of the fountain.
The two sat down, and after the bodyguard left, Marlena turned her head and expressed her anger.
This was already her biggest way of expressing her anger, like a bodyguard here, and her gentle expression would take care of his majesty in front of his subordinates.
She is a traditional Sicilian woman after all, even if she comes to the United States, it is difficult to change her background, Chen Jun looks at this behavior and wants to laugh in his heart.
"Hmm!!"
Chen Jun coughed a few times, but Marlena still didn't turn her head, and he said, "Then I'll hold you until you go back to Corleone Manor." ”
Only then did Malena turn around, and Chen Jun immediately took her hand and stared at her, "What did you see in my eyes last night that made you so flustered?" ”
Marlena didn't say a word.
"It doesn't matter if you don't answer, I just want to say that everything you see is just an illusion."
Chen Jun looked at her, his eyes froze, his whole body momentum changed greatly, cold, iron-blooded, he slowly raised his hand, and the temperament of the godfather last night suddenly increased again.
Marlena's body trembled, and her heart panicked, but when she looked at it again, the momentum on his body had disappeared and he had become like an ordinary person.
"You just accidentally saw the illusion of my treatment of my subordinates, what is it like to be with you in my life, don't you know?"
Chen Jun showed a smile and leaned over his face, but was blocked by Malena's hand, "Here in the church, you don't want to be like this." ”
"Do you believe that?"
Marlena nodded, there was still a little doubt in her eyes, Chen Jun stopped her movements and said: "I treat you no differently from ordinary people and business partners, but only to treat those wicked people, those people are ruthless, my heart must be more ruthless, they are ruthless, I want to be more ruthless, they are domineering, I want to completely suppress them, so that they can be afraid and valued." ”
"I'm so hard."
Chen Jun shook his head, his acting skills had already been perfected during this time, "But fortunately, you are still by my side, and you are leaving me?" ”
"Do you think I'm a wicked person? Am I guilty? ”
Marlena hesitated, "I can understand you, the responsibility you bear, I will always be by your side and walk with you." ”
Chen Jun smiled in his heart, but shook his head on his face, and said in a deep voice: "I think you may be wrong, I am not a wicked person, on the contrary, I am a good person with a moral bottom line." ”
He's not false about that, he's really a good guy. After all, the president of a certain country, Okuheitan, can win the Nobel Peace Prize, why is he not a good person?
He continued to say to Marlena: "You may think that I am an executioner in a noble suit, but you think, compared to me taking out those gangster scum, killing the heads of the five major families, and pushing the authorities to clean up, I will reduce a lot of possible violence in the future, and I will transform the Corleone family, which will also reduce the possibility of them breaking the law in the future." ”
"You know, I secretly donated millions of dollars to orphans who couldn't go to school. The pharmaceutical company I founded has saved at least millions of people in the United States who are suffering from illness, and will help people around the world in the future, and I will develop electronic technology in advance, which, if successful, will allow the world to speed up the process of high technology and make it convenient for hundreds of millions of people. ”
"If you think about my contributions, you can know that I am a good person with immeasurable merits, and you think that I am guilty, that is, slandering people's innocence for no reason, how can you do this?"
Marlena was stunned for a long time before she reacted, and was amused by this strange tone, hugged him, and whispered in his ear:
"William, you still coax me with the same rhetoric as you did in Sicily, and although I know you may lie to me, I believe you."
"If you are guilty, I will bear God's punishment with you, stay by your side, you will not be alone in the dark."
Chen Jun felt Marlena's body temperature, and felt slightly helpless, why is he not a good person?
After a long time, a flock of white doves flew outside the church.
Chen Jun looked at it, didn't want to disturb them, took Marlena's hand, and didn't create a lonely image of a pigeon.
**
Back to the Corleone family, after more than half a month of combing through the clues, the affairs of the five major families were basically resolved, and the rest was left to the official and the original leaders of the five major families to solve.
During this time, Fred traveled to Sicily, and there was no news of him, and the old godfather Vito Corleone officially announced his retirement, and Sonny gradually recovered from the hospital bed, and turned back into the sturdy bull in heat, and got involved with a female nurse, causing some trouble.
At the same time, the Corleone family carried out the transfer of personnel in an orderly manner, and as for the assets or something, they were transferred by Chen Jun early, leaving only part of the real estate in New York.
Sonny chose to take over the legal gambling business in Las Vegas, and Hagen and his family decided to go to Los Angeles and stay by Chen Jun's side.
The godfather didn't like the cheerful and lively atmosphere of Los Angeles and decided to stay in Las Vegas with his loved ones.
Mike took Kay back to Washington and chose to go into politics.
Chen Jun and Malena finally head to Los Angeles.
He asked her for her opinion, and she still preferred Los Angeles, with its landscapes, the gorgeous red rocks of the hills and canyons, the casual appearance of beautiful coastlines, the soothing lakes, and even the heat.
Life in Los Angeles is not as hectic as it used to be, and Chen Jun has a lot of free time, often taking Marlena to the wilderness or the beach for tours.
Seven days later, Chen Jun received a system prompt.
