Chapter Ninety-Three: The Underground Storm in Pingyang
"I'll borrow your good words!"
Lin Xu smiled helplessly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, raised it to Guo Jing, and took a sip.
He could see that Guo Jing's mood was a little wrong now. may be after knowing that Huang Rong has hidden a lot of things from her, or it may be worried about the situation of Huang Rong, who has not heard from her at the moment. Anyway, she suddenly proposed to drink again, not simply to celebrate her first reunion with Lin Xu after the Chinese New Year, and to celebrate the New Year that has passed more than half a month.
Lin Xu didn't know the specific reason, and he couldn't comfort people, so he could only accompany him a little. After taking a sip, he hurriedly raised his chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.
And Guo Jing naturally drank until the glass was dry, and then poured himself a full glass after drinking.
Guo Jing is usually not a person who talks a lot, except for being with Huang Rong, a good friend, she usually doesn't talk so much with others. There were several times when Lin Xu was alone with her, because Lin Xu didn't like to talk, both of them sat silently, so embarrassed that they had nothing to say.
But now after drinking, Guo Jing seems to talk a lot. After a few glasses of wine and the dishes were served, she somehow turned the topic back to Chen Yanfei and Yue Xianyun, and used the identities of these two people to tell Lin Xu about the changes in the underground world of Pingyang in the past 20 years.
Twenty years ago, the speaker and leader of the Pingyang underground world was Chen Yanfei's grandfather, Chen Zhongliang.
At that time, Chen Zhongliang sat very firmly in his seat and was working hard to train his son to be his successor. But just when everything was about to go smoothly, a sudden car accident took the lives of his son and daughter-in-law, and also caused him to lose his successor.
Some people say that the car accident was not an accident, but a deliberate attempt by one of Chen Zhongliang's enemies to retaliate. But the truth has not been made public. At least, Guo Jing didn't know.
Chen Zhongliang was very old at the time, so he was ready to let his son take over and abdicate himself. The accidental death of his son brought him a big blow, he had a serious illness, and his physical condition became a little worse.
The death of the originally cultivated successor gives others a chance to ascend to the throne. The two most promising people at that time were Yue Xianyun's father Yue Xiangyang, and the mastermind Liu Baokui who killed Yue Xiangyang last year. The process of these two people competing for the top position does not need to be described in detail, anyway, the final result is, of course, Yue Xiangyang won, and that Liu Baokui was forced to flee Pingyang.
But when Yue Xiangyang won the struggle and his power soared. Chen Zhongliang is still unwilling to take the initiative to give way, he still wants to work hard to maintain, support his grandson Chen Yanfei when he grows up, and then support his grandson to take over. It's a pity that Yue Xiangyang's strength had risen sharply at that time. In the end, Chen Zhongliang was forced to abdicate with a tough attitude.
However, when Chen Zhongliang agreed to abdicate, he put forward one condition. is to make a verbal marriage contract between Chen Yanfei and Yue Xianyun, and he still hopes that Chen Yanfei will be able to take over when he grows up. Moreover, Yue Xiangyang did not have a son at that time, Chen Yanfei became his son-in-law, and the two families were combined, and the rest of the forces in Pingyang would no longer be opponents, and their descendants would always be able to firmly control the underground world of the city.
The prospect of this condition is very good, and Yue Xiangyang is also a little moved by it. And if Yue Xiangyang didn't agree at that time, Chen Zhongliang said that he would break the net with him, and mobilize everyone to fight with him, and never die. Yue Xiangyang fought with Liu Baokui just now, although he won, his subordinates were also highly motivated, and he incorporated many of Liu Baokui's forces, but his own descendants also suffered a lot of losses.
In this case, he is not absolutely sure of fighting hard with Chen Zhongliang, an old force. So after he finally weighed it, he also temporarily verbally agreed to Chen Zhongliang's conditions, let Chen Zhongliang abdicate peacefully, and he successfully became the new speaker of the Pingyang underground world.
After sitting in this position, Yue Xiangyang quickly consolidated his power and began to grow and develop. With the abdication, Chen Zhongliang began to shrink a lot, but he still retains quite a lot of power, and because he is the speaker of the previous generation, and he has the highest generation, his influence is still very large.
Although Yue Xiangyang knew very well that Chen Zhongliang was still a threat, he didn't dare to move easily. Coupled with the agreement that the two men had originally verbally agreed on, they had been on good terms for many years.
As Chen Yanfei grew up, and Chen Zhongliang got older and his health became worse and worse, he began to plan to pave the way for his grandson. Just last year, he proposed to Yue Xiangyang that Chen Yanfei and Yue Xianyun hold a formal engagement banquet, and the original oral marriage contract was implemented first. Then when they reach adulthood, they are officially married.
But with the continuous increase in strength over the years, Yue Xiangyang is no longer willing to agree to this forced marriage contract. In addition, he knew that his daughter also didn't like Chen Yanfei very much, so he rejected Chen Zhongliang's proposal and planned to break the contract.
Of course, Chen Zhongliang was very angry about this, and he was almost angry at that time. But now Yue Xiangyang has full wings and his power has risen greatly, but he also has this kind of tough confidence. Chen Zhongliang didn't seem to have anything to do about it, so he didn't mention it again after that.
But not long after, Yue Xiangyang died in Liu Baokui's vendetta that suddenly killed him back to Pingyang. So it is rumored that Chen Zhongliang was dissatisfied with Yue Xiangyang's refusal, and took the initiative to find Liu Baokui to come back, and provided a lot of convenience, so that Liu Baokui could find an opportunity to kill Yue Xiangyang.
Of course, this is just a rumor. Whether it's the truth or not, Guo Jing also doesn't know.
After Lin Xu heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised. I didn't expect that there would be such entanglement and relationship between Chen Yanfei and Yue Xianyun. And Chen Yanfei's possessiveness for Yue Xianyun that he has always shown is not just a simple liking, but also mixed with this layer of relationship.
After a pause, he couldn't help but say, "Haven't Yue Xianyun heard of this rumor, I think her relationship with that Chen Yating has always been very good!"
Even if Yue Xianyun heard about it and didn't believe it, I was afraid that it would inevitably be difficult to maintain a friendly relationship between her and Chen Yating. Thinking that Chen Yating's grandfather was likely to be behind her father's death, could she not mind at all? But at noon, she was still a little sad because of Chen Yating's "broken relationship"!
"Who knows?" Guo Jing drank a glass of wine and said, "Maybe Song Yonghua protected her very well, and he really didn't let her know, and no one was allowed to tell her." Maybe she heard about it, but she still didn't want to have a relationship with Chen Yating, pretending not to know. After all, it's not easy to make a good friend. In a lifetime, there may be only one. ”
After that, he seemed to think of himself and Huang Rong, and couldn't help but sigh, then poured another glass of wine and raised his glass.
"Don't get drunk. Seeing this, Lin Xu couldn't help but persuade.
At this time, half a bottle of wine had been dried by Guo Jing alone, but Lin Xu's cup still had more than half a glass left.
"Don't worry, I've got a good amount of wine!" Guo Jing put down the wine glass and poured herself a full glass.
Lin Xu shook his head helplessly, so he didn't persuade again. Turning his head and thinking of the rumor about Yue Xiangyang's death, he felt that it was also "groundless, not necessarily without cause".
Think carefully about what happened after Yue Xiangyang's death last year, if Liu Baokui caught Yue Xianyun again, and then killed Song Yonghua with Yue Xianyun as a threat. In the end, who could be the biggest beneficiary of the underground world of Binh Duong?
Liu Baokui has fled for many years, and the foundation of Pingyang is basically gone. Although he was able to kill Yue Xiangyang, he no longer had any power in the local area, and he should no longer be able to convince the public to ascend to the position of the leading boss. On the contrary, Chen Zhongliang's influence is still there, although his power has shrunk over the years, he has not lost much. At this time, he will come out of the mountain again, and in the situation where the dragons are leaderless after Yue Xiangyang's death, it is very likely that he will regain control of the situation and sit in that position again. Maybe he will go on to kill Liu Baokui again, and take over Yue Xiangyang's forces by avenging Yue Xiangyang.
At that time, there will be no other strong competitors, and he will be able to pave the way for his grandson to succeed him. And now, Chen Yanfei has also grown up.
If you really think about it, you really can't rule out the possibility of this. Anyway, whoever benefits the most is most likely to be the one behind the scenes.
It's just that if this is the case, it will be even more cruel to Yue Xianyun. The grandfather of a good friend who grew up together was the mastermind of killing her father. It is likely that Chen Zhongliang has always been a kind grandfather and elder in her impression, and he loves her very much. But this kind old man has such sinister intentions.
The rivers and lakes are sometimes so cruel and realistic, cold and ruthless.
Of course, this is just Lin Xu's speculation. That rumor is also a rumor that has never been confirmed.
