Inside the manor, the atmosphere is solemn.

Huang Fu Song stood in front of his father, Huang Fu Xiong, his head hanging low, like a stone sculpture, heavy and silent.

His heart was filled with frustration, and it was the first time in his life that he had felt such a huge defeat.

Huang Fuxiong sat calmly on the Taishi chair, majestic and calm.

His eyes are as deep as the sea, as if he can penetrate all appearances and see the essence of the human heart.

Chen Xuelian on the side was elegantly fiddling with the tea ceremony, the fragrance of tea overflowing, but it was difficult to dispel the tension in the air.

At this time, Fang Hong also walked in from outside, he stood quietly aside, did not speak, but his arrival undoubtedly added a little weight to this already heavy enough conversation.

Huang Fuxiong finally broke the silence, and he slowly spoke: "Song'er, can you see the gap between you and Xia Ye now?" ”

His voice, though calm, revealed an unmistakable majesty.

Huangfu Song didn't speak, just gritted his teeth, and his heart was full of unwillingness.

He admits that he has failed, but he cannot accept the humiliation of that failure.

Huang Fuxiong looked at his son's expression and understood his feelings in his heart.

He didn't blame Huangfu Song, but said earnestly: "You are not much different in age, but this summer night, both in terms of means and ability, are much more powerful than you, and you still have a lot to learn." ”

When Huang Fu Song heard this, the anger in his heart calmed down a little.

He looked up into his father's eyes, trying to find an answer.

"I know what you've done to that summer night so far." Huang Fuxiong continued, "But, do you know why I didn't stop you? ”

Huangfu Song's eyes widened, looking at his father, waiting for his answer.

"Because I'm going to sharpen you." Huang Fuxiong's voice softened a little, "I want you to know that there are mountains outside the mountains and there are people outside the people, now, do you understand?" ”

Huangfu Song lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then took a deep breath, looked up at his father and said, "Father, I was wrong, it was my methods that were too naïve, and I was not the opponent of that summer night, which disappointed you." ”

When Huang Fuxiong heard his son's words, a smile of relief appeared on his face.

He waved his hand and said, "Alas, you are still young, and what you will inherit in the future is a huge family business." This defeat may be a heavy blow to you, but it is also a valuable experience. ”

Fang Hong also sighed beside him and said: "Xiao Song, your father and I will both grow old, your eldest brother and second brother will be the successors of the family after they come ashore in the future, and you are the only heir of our Huangfu family in the underground world of the imperial capital!" ”

"You will become the godfather of the imperial capital!!"

"So you should understand your father's painstaking efforts."

Huang Fu Song was shocked when he heard this.

He understands that his father's expectations and his family's high hopes are on his shoulders.

This time it failed. It made him deeply aware of his shortcomings and what he needed to learn.

He took a deep breath, looked at his father and Uncle Fang firmly, and said, "I understand." I will work hard to improve myself. I won't let you down. ”

Huang Fuxiong and Fang Hong heard this. They all smiled with satisfaction.

They believed that Huangfu Song would be able to learn from this defeat and would definitely be able to become a leader in the underground world of the imperial capital in the future.

After Huang Fuxiong asked Huang Fu Song and Chen Xuelian to step down, only he and Fang Hong were left in the study.

Huang Fuxiong took a deep breath and asked in a deep voice, "I heard that Xia Ye already knows his identity?" ”

Fang Hong nodded, and replied with a solemn expression: "Family master, according to our investigation, it was the second son of the Xuanyuan family who told him, Xia Ye should have known at this moment, his real surname is Qin, and he should also know those old things about the Qin family in the imperial capital." ”

Huangfu Xiong frowned, pondered for a moment and said, "However, as far as I know, the juniors of the Xuanyuan family don't know the truth about the rebellion in the first place, so even if he tells Xia Ye, it can't be true. ”

When Fang Hong heard this, he also fell into deep thought.

The Jiyou Rebellion was a taboo topic in the upper circles of the imperial capital, and few people knew the truth.

Many people in that era, many of the organizations and institutions involved in that turmoil, and their existence, are now gone, and many people have died.

There are still many people missing......

And if Xia Ye really knew his life experience, then the purpose of his coming to the imperial capital would be even clearer.

Huang Fuxiong sighed and continued: "I said a long time ago that the most real purpose of Xia Ye's visit to the imperial capital this time was not to set up any company or enterprise, but to find his identity. ”

As soon as these words came out, Fang Hong was silent.

He understood what Huang Fuxiong meant, and came to the imperial capital on a summer night, not only to work hard for his career, but also to uncover the mystery of his life experience.

After pondering for a long time, Huang Fuxiong slowly spoke: "Do you know? The Mu family has come to the imperial capital. ”

Fang Hong looked at Huang Fuxiong with a shocked expression, this news was too sudden for him.

He hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

Huang Fuxiong took a deep breath and explained: "Mu Dakang's sense of smell is very sensitive, don't look at him as if he is about to enter the earth, but he is in Gusu, and he may know better than any of us the purpose of coming to the imperial capital on a summer night. ”

"Therefore, he came to the imperial capital, firstly, to lead the Mu family to come back to seek revenge on everyone, to find the mastermind behind the scenes, and secondly, he may come back to help Xia Ye!"

After hearing this, Fang Hong was silent.

He knew that the relationship between the Mu family and Xia Ye was extraordinary, and Mu Dakang's move was undoubtedly to show his attitude to Xia Ye.

This also means that the situation in the imperial capital will be more complicated.

Huang Fuxiong looked at Fang Hong's expression and continued: "We must be careful to deal with the next situation, Xia Ye's alliance with the Mu family will cause us a lot of trouble, you have to pay close attention to their movements and report to me in time." ”

Fang Hong nodded in understanding.

He knew that the task ahead would be even more difficult, but he also knew that he had a great responsibility.

He must do everything in his power to deal with this coming storm.

Huang Fuxiong looked at Fang Hong's departing back, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this battle has just begun!

……

At the same time, in a quiet courtyard somewhere in Huangfu Manor, Chen Xuelian found Huangfu Song, who was sulking alone.

The night breeze is slightly cool, and the moonlight is like water, but it can't shine into the haze in Huangfu Song's heart.

"Song'er, are you still worried about today's events?" Chen Xuelian's gentle voice broke the silence of the night.

Huangfu Song raised his head, and a trace of unwillingness flashed in his eyes: "I am unwilling, I have never failed so much, and I have never been so humiliated." ”

Chen Xuelian walked to his side lightly and stretched out her hand to caress his hair: "Song'er, victory and defeat are common things in soldiers, this person is not simple in the summer night, you are not wronged in this defeat." ”

"But I'm not reconciled! I have a heavy responsibility, how can I easily give up? Huangfu Song gritted his teeth, and his voice revealed a deep hatred for the summer night.

Chen Xuelian sighed softly, she knew that the pride and conceit in Huangfu Song's heart were hit hard by this defeat.

She comforted softly: "Song'er, you must know that there is no eternal loser in this world, as long as you are willing to cheer up and start over, you will definitely be able to defeat Summer Night." ”

After hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed in Huangfu Song's eyes, but it quickly dimmed: "Can I really defeat him?" ”

"Absolutely." Chen Xuelian nodded affirmatively, "You are not fighting alone, and your father and me, we will fully support you." ”

As she spoke, she gently took Huangfu Song's hand and led him in another direction: "Okay, don't be angry, come over with your aunt, and let's discuss the next plan." ”

Under the moonlight, the figures of the two gradually drifted apart, and the anger and hatred in Huangfu Song's heart slowly subsided in Chen Xuelian's soft comfort.
