Walking to the study, Chen Chongzhou picked up the landline and dialed a series of numbers.

The other end was very excited, "Second Young Master!"

Obviously, Qi Cheng was anxiously waiting for this call, "Are you at Hanrun's place, where is she?"

Chen Chongzhou stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. At that time, the main city was full of neon lights and busy traffic. "In the bedroom."

"She ignores me." Qi Cheng complained, "She lost her soul as soon as she returned to China. If she hooks up with Chen Yuan again, she will definitely abandon her husband and son. Mother doesn't want children. I am the father of the child. I can No? She has nothing to worry about."

The man didn't respond, he had a cigarette in his mouth, tilted his head slightly, and lit it.

Qi Cheng was very anxious, "Second son, I plan to move to Lingyuan International to monitor her. In the past nine years, she has not forgotten Chen Yuan at all, and Chen Yuan has not forgotten her either. Lin Sheng from Hong Kong, Shen Zhen by your side, which one is not Han Run's shadow? There is only a fire between them, if she is obsessed with ghosts and is determined to follow him, with Chen Yuan's protection, we can't bring her back, and she can't do anything."

When the smoke was lifted, the glass reflected his face, which was vain and unrecognizable, "Back then, Chen Yuan couldn't protect her, and he still can't protect her now."

"Chen Zheng has abdicated." Qi Cheng reminded him, "The power is in the hands of you two sons, and you have the right to take over the world. Chen Zheng can't touch Hanrun."

The old man of the Jinde Group has retired to the second line for 17 years.

It can be refunded, the third son is the nominal chairman, and the actual controlling right has always been under the old man's name.

To put it bluntly, it was just the prince sitting on the dragon chair who offended the emperor behind him and was dismissed with one vote.

In the huge Jinde family, there are three daughters, none of whom have the guts to make trouble.

Chen Zheng was different. He actually handed over his shares. In the eyes of the industry, he was the loser of the internal strife in the Chen family, allowing the sons of the two families to divide up the assets.

In fact, the really shrewd old fox is precisely Chen Zheng.

The top several groups in the province have serious problems.

The rich generation of chaebols headed by the old man of the Zhou family has a solid foundation and will not capsize easily.

The quicker the withdrawal, the safer it is.

If you can't let go of power, you are doomed to lose everything.

Especially when Chen Ling was transferred back to the provincial department, those well-known capital predators could not escape the fate of capsized.

Only Chen Zheng, who ruthlessly supported his son in the top position, waited for an opportunity to escape.

"My father seems to be empty, but he holds the lifeline of Chen Yuan and me." Chen Chongzhou pulled out the cigarette from the corner of his mouth, "Qiao Hanrun is of great use."

Qi Cheng didn't understand the inside story, but because of Chen Er's secretiveness, he also knew how dirty the Chen family's details were, so he couldn't help but tremble with fear, "After the grievances are resolved, I will immediately take Han Run abroad."

Chen Chongzhou crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray, "Don't you care about her life and death, only revenge?"

After a long while, Qi Cheng spit out, "Longlong is six years old, and Yangyang is three years old. She gave birth to Yangyang's hemorrhage, and she almost died on the operating table. After all, she has some relationship between husband and wife."

The man said slowly, "After the old grievances are settled, you take over Chen Zhiyun's group and stay in the country. Your biological father's property is still an empty shell. If you have the ability to make a comeback, we are in the same camp, and I should assist you."

Qi Cheng was stunned, "Second Young Master will assist me?"

Chen Chongzhou's tone was unclear, "It depends on whether you are the material and your ambition."

This is not an assistant, it is a temptation at all, beating him to keep his own place.

Qi Cheng straightened his back, suffocated with fright, and immediately expressed his loyalty, "If Chen Zhiyun's company falls into my hands, I will definitely give it to the second son as it is."

Chen Chongzhou raised his eyebrows, "You're very sensible."

When Qi Cheng heard it, sure enough, he made the right bet.

If he agrees, he will expose his ambition and completely anger Chen Er. Ambitious people hate their own kind the most. Chen Er has coveted this piece of fat meat for a long time.Now, he is relying on Chen Er, and Chen Er is also holding his family and life, so he can't afford to offend him.

Qi Cheng bowed his knees, "Of course, I'm mediocre and incompetent, and I'm not qualified to manage a business or a shopping mall. A sage is competent. Besides, the second son raised our family, and it's all due to your debt."

Chen Chongzhou laughed, "If you want to repay, then I won't refuse."

He hung up the phone, his treacherous eyes fixed on the glass in front of him.

A woman stood at the door, silently, staring at him.

Qiao Hanrun's impression of him is still at first sight.

That year, it was a long rainy season in London. On the banks of the Thames, she sold a basket of flowers in broken English.

Holding an umbrella, Chen Chongzhou walked towards her from the ever-burning lights of Tower Bridge.

His British-style attire was completely opposite to his usual one. She recognized him as the second son of the Chen family, and wanted to flee in panic, "Are you going to tie me back?"

He stood still and looked down at her condescendingly, "Where are the flowers?"

She pointed to the street across the bridge, a gray flower shop, "Lisa."

Lisa is the owner of a flower shop. Seeing how pitiful she is on the streets, she hires her to sell flowers and provide meals without payment.

Chen Chongzhou held a smile, "It's not easy to live in exile, right?"

She looked at him, silent.

"The men of the black dog were bought by me, and they will not look for you again, but the next batch is already on the way." He stretched out his hand, "Will you come with me? I will keep you safe."

"Your father..."

Chen Chongzhou had a gentle face, "Since I promise, I have the means to get rid of him."

She was stunned for a long time, "Why?"

"You will know later."

London Tower Bridge 240 meters, she followed him for 9 minutes.

That was the happiest and most confusing path in her life.

The woman came back to her senses, at this moment, there was no trance of wind and rain in London, nor the loneliness of a foreign country.

His silhouette was handsome and quiet, orange halos spread around him, and the long night was blurred, covering Chen Chongzhou, so handsome and unreal.

She locked the door and walked towards him.

"Chongzhou, all these years, you never told me what exactly I need to do."

The man turned sideways, "Are you curious?"

She bit her lip, "I'm uneasy."

Chen Chongzhou was against the light, his brows and eyes sunk in darkness, "Confused Chen Yuan, made him willingly fall in love. To find out the news, be driven by me."

"But...Chen Yuan has a new one..."

"It depends on your skill." He interrupted, "You know what Chen Yuan likes and what he doesn't like. Other women are not as good as you, and prescribing the right medicine is enough to awaken a man's past affection."

A relationship is in full swing, and the hottest and craziest moment has to end, like an extinct volcano, it has always been dormant, and when it rekindles, it must be a catastrophe and a menacing attack.

She asked, "Just this."

"There is one more important thing." Chen Chongzhou approached her, "Accuse Chen Zheng of hiring murderers to detain you and intentionally injure you. Someday you will go to court and seek truth from facts, remember."

The woman panicked, "Accuse Chen Zheng?" She was shocked and said incoherently, "Chongzhou, he is your father, once exposed, he will be ruined."

"So what?" He said calmly, "Isn't it normal to reincarnate the world and reincarnate the cause you planted yourself?"

She was dazed for a while, "When."

"I will notify you when you appear on stage."

After saying this, he left the manor.

***

At night, Chen Chongzhou returned to the old house, and Chen Ling's red flag car was still parked in the courtyard.

He frowned and stepped into the hallway.

After passing the restaurant, the man sat under an orange crystal lamp, reading the "Provincial Evening Post".

Chen Chongzhou called the man, "Third Uncle."

Chen Ling turned his back, without turning his head, "Any entertainment?"

He said respectfully, "Visit my mother."

Chen Ling expressed concern symbolically, "Are you healthy?"

He told the truth, "I don't look good."

"There are supplements in the trunk of the car. Give it to your mother. I'll give it to you."

Chen Ling originally gave it to Shen Zhen as a medicinal meal for pregnant women to recuperate their qi and blood. For her fear of hardship, he specially ordered a honey version.

Unexpectedly, the child died suddenly, he was worried about her seeing things and thinking about others, so he didn't mention this again, and things were naturally put on hold.

"Thank you third uncle."

After closing the newspaper, Chen Ling picked up the thermos cup, wolfberries floating on the water, and the scene in the afternoon flashed back in his mind, "Third Uncle, are you nourishing your kidneys?"

He was taken aback, "It's just drinking water."

Shen Zhen smiled strangely, "I understand."

Chen Ling glanced at her, "You understand again."

She was serious, "Liang Zewen also drank. It is said that his secretary Wei Yi was pregnant, but unfortunately he didn't keep it." She leaned closer and gestured five times, "Dr. Liang is 50 years old, it must be impossible, and he can barely do it with the help of external force. Wei Yi is only in his early thirties. You Haven't you heard that proverb?"

Chen Ling vaguely guessed which sentence it was, and still asked, "What proverb?"

She whispered, "Thirty is like a wolf."

The sneaky and cautious appearance was obviously shy and shy, but he was pretending to be sophisticated. He couldn't help laughing, "I haven't heard of it."

"What about forty tigers?"

Chen Ling continued to laugh, "No."

"Third Uncle, what's your dharma name." She held her chin, her eyes sparkling, "In this world, there are not many men like you who are empty of all four things."

"Really." He remained calm.

"Third Uncle, don't you want to marry Third Aunt?"

"Follow the fate." Chen Ling pondered for a moment, "I'm not all empty, every man has desires, like eating when hungry, sleeping when sleepy, physiology is an instinct." He rested his forehead and looked at her casually, " Desires without love are inferior, desires based on love are holy and meaningful, and I don’t want to break my insistence.”

Deja Vu.

Chen Yuan is, Chen Chongzhou is, and Chen Ling is also.

Shen Zhen pursed her lips, "Third Uncle, do you have an unforgettable old lover?"

He rubbed the center of his brows with his thumb, "I had an old lover, it's not unforgettable."

"Your age and fate can't wait. If you want to grab it, grab it with a young man. If you don't grab it, it's really useless."

Chen Ling paused, "Am I old?"

The men in the Chen family love to ask, "Am I old?"

40 years old and not married, really old.

Knowing that he is old, yet calm and composed, this unhurried concentration is probably also the charm in the bones of the man of the Chen family.

"Compared with whom."

Chen Ling seemed to be teasing her, "Compared to you?"

"Older."

There was a smile in his eyes.

Shen Zhen thought he was embarrassed, and added, "Compared to Chen Zheng, Third Uncle is very tender."

Fresh and tender.

His smile deepened.
