Where to send the rest of your life

When Xue Wenxi opened the door, the house was dark.

There was no answer to knocking on the door, so Steward Cao must have been thrown into the backyard by Xue Tanpei again. Fortunately, he happened to bring the key with him. It was myself who was surprised first.

With a snap, the lights turned on.

Xue Tanpei curled up on the sofa, almost shedding tears as if frightened by the sudden light, and almost at the same time, Xue Wenxi felt the long-lost soreness in the tip of his nose.

The two of them lost their souls together again.

"Son." Xue Wenxi murmured softly.

Xue Wenxi's two dark circles under the light were silent and motionless.His eyes were almost frozen, merging with two dark circles.

Sighing slightly, she walked over to him and sat down.

Xue Tanpei almost lost his strength, and murmured: "Can you not let Yu Shen go?"

There were only two desperate people in a huge living room, at this moment Xue Tanpei's feeble begging was caught by Xue Wenxi very clearly.

He didn't know what happened, but he just nodded silently and patted his son's head: "Go back to the house and sleep, if you have anything to say tomorrow."

Xue Tanpei shook his head slightly, and fell asleep while shaking, his voice became softer and softer: "No, I'm too tired..."

It was as if he had returned to the time when he was not a grown-up in an instant, he was so sleepy in his own bed that he fell asleep while talking, but such companionship was one of the few in Xue Tanpei's entire childhood.

Xue Wenxi took a quilt from upstairs, wrapped him up, turned off the light, and went upstairs.

He walked to the door of Jin Yunhe's room and found that the door was locked.My heart skipped a beat, and I became more and more blocked.

He knocked lightly on the door first, but there was no movement in the room.

Then he knocked harder, but it took a while for the door to open.

Jin Yunhe stood in front of the door with red eyes and disheveled clothes, as if he had cried.His eyes were dull at first, but when he saw it was Xue Wenxi, his eyes lit up, and then he threw himself into the arms of the person in front of him.

He said in a muffled voice, "You're back."

Xue Wenxi hugged him into the house like a child, thinking what happened today, would they all survive?

As soon as he put Jin Yunhe on the bed, he stuck to him again, pestering him and refusing to leave, neither talking nor letting go.

Xue Wenxi patted him up and down, feeling a little funny, but patting him, he felt at ease.

He doesn't know anything about what's going on so far, but there's so much he doesn't know, so much that he's content to live with the illusion, and even feel more at ease when he doesn't know the truth .

The truth is always crueler.

"Let's go to sleep." Jin Yunhe took off his clothes with a rustle, turned off the light and was about to sleep.

Xue Wenxi didn't resist, just kissed the top of Jin Yunhe's head, and then asked in a low voice, "Do you have anything to say?"

After being silent for a while, Jin Yunhe said in a muffled voice: "You must have a way to keep Yu Shen, so keep him."

Then stop talking.

Xue Wenxi didn't know where such a nonsensical sentence came from, and thought that Jin Yunhe and Yu Shen had developed a good relationship when they were young, and now they are inseparable, but the more he thinks about it, the more he can't figure it out.So he didn't think about it anymore, but quickly fell asleep in cooperation.

The next day Xue Wenxi inquired, only to find out that Yu Shen was going to England.Yu Zichan's physical condition has improved a lot recently, and school is about to start over there, so Yu Shen doesn't want to wait any longer and is about to leave immediately.

Xue Wenxi thought it wasn't a big deal, anyway, Yu Zichan was sick and couldn't get up for a while, so he made a few phone calls, and the newspaper took the job back.The money is gone, why go abroad.

The people in the newspaper office didn't want to hire a pedantic old man who was seriously ill in bed, and it would be even more troublesome if he died, so they were happy to push the boat along.

Then he quickly returned to the police station, took out a few short guns that he had ordered privately, locked them in a drawer, and carried one next to his body, and then cleaned up the office, destroying everything that should be destroyed. Leave a trace, and put away everything that should be taken away. After doing this, Xue Wenxi completely forgot about Yu Zichan.

Then he sat down on the soft cushion, bowed his head and continued with his official duties.

After a while, Geng Senping pushed the door open and came in as usual, and said blankly: "Tanaka Kojiro from the Japanese Consulate called yesterday, but the fourth master was not here, so I answered it."

"Oh?" Xue Wenxi raised his head and frowned almost imperceptibly, "What did he say?"

"I thought Fourth Master wouldn't be interested." Geng Senping walked to Xue Wenxi's side, "He said that the Japanese side sincerely wanted to cooperate."

Xue Wenxi snorted out his nostrils: "I'm not very interested, what did you say?"

"I didn't say anything, the decision is still up to you. But I think..." Geng Senping suddenly stopped talking, and Xue Wenxi was forced to raise his head again: "When did you become morose, what do you think?"

"If Fourth Master doesn't cooperate with the Japanese—this is basically a certainty, then it will be very difficult to stay in Shanghai, and the entire Xue family business may also be destroyed by then."

"Ah..." Xue Wenxi raised his head and leaned on the back of the chair, and turned around, "What kind of family property does the Xue family have when I come to my place, and then pass it on to my son, and he will be fine if he doesn't starve to death! The family business can be lost Don’t talk about cooperation!” Then he took a deep breath and looked up at him, “Geng Senping, if you want to talk about me today, I’ve already given you the answer. But don’t talk about me now, are you that A person who betrays his country and seeks glory?"

Geng Senping showed a reassuring smile: "Of course not, I just want to be honest with Fourth Master. This is the current situation, and there is no room for people to think about it."

"Okay." Xue Wenxi was taken aback by his rare smile, didn't say any more, and waved his hand, "Go out."

Geng Sen went out expressionlessly, and returned to his place like stepping on a knife.

Selling the country and seeking glory.

The four words that Xue Wenxi said casually seemed to be branded on him.

But he is not traitorous for glory!He's just courting, that's all.

And if the Japanese want to establish a puppet government, sooner or later someone will do this job, either him or someone else. If it is true that the villain who betrays the country and seeks glory will gain power and do evil, how better will he be than himself?

Geng Senping was troubled, but he had no intention of changing his mind.He looked up at this place and thought, this place, where he has been a cow and a horse for many years, is about to become his own.

At this time, Xue Wenxi was sitting in the office, lighting another cigarette, puffing away the clouds comfortably, not knowing that day, he was changing faster than he imagined.

The British Concession was full of tension, but singing and dancing continued day and night.Most people in China are not so lucky. It has long been the norm in the world to have their wives and children scattered on the streets.The Yu family in the distance, after learning the bad news, spent a night like everyone else, but this night was a night that witnessed the collapse of the Yu family.

Originally, I wanted to talk about being ruined, but the Yu family didn't have anything to lose. After all, the family was poor, and no matter how bad it was, it couldn't get worse.But such a job is almost all hope for such a difficult family.As soon as the bad news arrived, Yu Zichan sat up from the bed like a corpse, then stroked his gray beard like withered grass and paced around the room, muttering to himself what to do.Mama Yu was so frightened that she only dared to stand aside, not daring to speak or move.

At that time, Yu Shen had a bad premonition in his heart. Looking at it, although there was no warning, a large tear rolled down his right eye unconsciously.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Yu Zichan to lie back on the bed again. He never got up after lying down, and his expression was different from the improvement before. This time he fell ill, and he was already on the verge of death. I'm afraid it will be difficult to get better again .

Mama Yu kept covering her mouth, fearing that she would cry out all the worries in her heart. She couldn't bear to read it any more, but changed into a good set of clothes, brought money, and went to the newspaper office in the concession to intercede overnight.

Yu Shen watched silently from the side, and silently complied with all Mama Yu's instructions, suddenly a great sadness swept over his heart, pressing on him like a mountain.

This is my home, he thought.
