In a quiet cemetery, Zhou Huaiyu, wrapped in a big cotton-padded jacket and wearing a cashmere hat, stood silently in the cold wind with his hands in his pockets, staring at the graceful and elegant woman on the tombstone for a long time without saying a word.

The cemetery seemed particularly deserted in winter, and as it was not a festival, not many people came to pay their respects. Only the cemetery manager did the daily routine cleaning and placed some tributes and flowers for the deceased.

Irene, who was waiting not far away, looked up at the distant mountains dyed red by maple leaves. A few birds flew in from afar, chirping and breaking the silence between heaven and earth...

Her gaze once again turned to the slightly thin and lonely figure in front of the tombstone. Irene frowned slightly, and pity welled up in her eyes.

I have never experienced the warmth of a loving mother, so I cannot empathize with my senior's longing for his mother. I don't know how to comfort him so that he won't be so sad.

It would be great if Secretary Ren was here!

Although that man looked like aloof and banished immortal, and didn't seem like a mortal, Zhou Huaiyu listened to him the most. If he were there, he would definitely come forward to comfort the senior.

Zhou Huaiyu, who had been silent for a long time in the cold wind, finally moved his feet, picked up the towel and mineral water that had been prepared on the side, wet the towel, and began to wipe the template carefully.

When his fingertips were stroking the words "Unfilial son Zhou Huaiyu", his hand movements suddenly stopped. After a moment, he opened his lips and whispered his apology.

"I'm sorry, Mom. Ayu didn't follow your last words and didn't stay with Master to recuperate. I also... didn't marry the girl you like. I... I'm sorry..."

A drop of hot tears fell on the stone slab in front of the tombstone. Zhou Huaiyu stroked the woman's beautiful face with his fingers and choked up, "Mom, I'm still struggling in this rotten quagmire of the Zhou family. I... I'm unwilling to let them go and let them live a carefree life by stepping on the hard work of you and grandpa and grandma."

"But don't worry, I will be able to resolve these matters soon. I will get back everything they owe you and the Ding family... After that, I will donate all those things according to your and grandpa and grandma's wishes."

"Mom...when things are settled here, I will go back to Wangyue Villa with Junior Uncle to recuperate. Don't worry, I will live a good life and live a long life."

No third party would know about the conversation across the grave. After walking out of the cemetery, the man who was just soaked in sadness instantly turned into the eldest son of the Zhou family who was a big shot in the business world.

When Irene saw Zhou Huaiyu coming out, she immediately stepped forward and handed him the hand cream she was carrying with her. This man had just wiped Ms. Ding's tombstone with cold water, and his hands were frozen red.

"Senior, please wipe your hands. It's windy on the mountain. You just got wet. If the wind blows on your hands again, they will probably crack."

Zhou Huaiyu accepted Irene's kindness, squeezed out a piece of hand cream and rubbed it. The refreshing camellia scent wafted from his hands, making Zhou Huaiyu's originally heavy mood feel a lot more relaxed.

After returning to the car and recovering from the cold, Irene turned the tablet in her hand to Zhou Huaiyu and said, "Senior, the deployment at sea is going smoothly. Half an hour ago, Xu Mingchang got the news and rushed to the dock. Our people at the company are also ready and can start at any time."

"If the plan goes well, Xu Mingchang will not be able to come back this time. When the news of his death comes, you will immediately go to find Xu Shengyuan. She is not a fool. She will know clearly which way to go and who to abandon and who to save."

"Yes, Senior, I understand!"

Xu Shengyuan, the youngest daughter who has never been taken seriously by the Xu family and is not taken seriously by Xu Mingchang and his wife, is the only person in the Xu family with a clear mind!

This final step depends on whether she wants to protect this heartless and profit-oriented family, or abandon her parents, betray the Xu family, and save herself.

The river flows slowly, and cute porpoises often surface, turning their bellies toward the people standing on the bow of the boat. Occasionally, they open their mouths wide and stick out their tongues, looking particularly naughty...

Unfortunately, those who are obsessed with profit have no time to appreciate these spiritual things bestowed by nature!

Xu Mingchang came quickly in a speedboat. When he saw the bearded man who had been waiting there, he suppressed his unhappiness and greeted him with a smile.

"Mr. Raphael, I'm really sorry that you have to come here in person for such a small misunderstanding..."

However, before Xu Mingchang could finish his words, the bearded man pointed the AK-47 at Xu Mingchang and accused him of betrayal in not very standard Chinese.

"Xu, you Orientals don't keep your word to your friends. You cheated us."

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, Xu Mingchang's heart suddenly panicked, fearing that the gun in the other party's hand would go off accidentally and he would lose his life in this vast sea.

"Mr. Raphael, please forgive me. I just got the news. After I find out the facts, I will definitely make up for your losses."

Xu Mingchang kept smiling apologetically, but in his heart he was cursing all the ancestors of this foreigner.

Fuck you foreign guy, how can I fulfill my promise and give you the money when I haven’t even seen the goods?

Less than 20 minutes after the goods were in my hands, they were robbed openly. How could it be such a coincidence? How did those people know our transaction location and transaction time? Not to mention, the robbers also knew exactly what goods were on the ship.

I just don't believe that there is no one supporting them from behind.

I'm afraid you guys came back, stole my goods, and now you want to have the best of both worlds!

Raphael ignored Xu Mingchang's flattery. It was a fact that this man had violated the alliance. He just wanted to get the money to support his boss. "You Chinese are really too cunning. I will no longer believe any of your sophistry. Now, ask someone to transfer the money immediately..."

"Mr. Raphael, please listen to my explanation..."

Raphael, who was already in a bad temper, looked over inadvertently and saw five speedboats in the distant sea, rushing towards this side at full speed.

"Fuck... Damn Chinese..."

Along with the curse, there was the sound of a bullet being loaded. Raphael's eyes were red with anger as he glared at Xu Mingchang and shouted, "Xu, you actually betrayed your friend?"

As Raphael became more and more furious, several foreigners behind him with submachine guns pointed their guns at Xu Mingchang. As long as Raphael gave the order, these lawless guys would turn this Chinese who dared to deceive them into a hornet's nest.

Although Xu Mingchang also walked on the edge of the law and committed all kinds of illegal and criminal activities, he was ultimately just a businessman. How could he have ever seen such a scene?

Facing the black muzzle of the gun, I broke out in a cold sweat in the middle of winter, fearing that the other party would shoot me if he was unhappy.
