After Becoming The Tyrant

After Becoming The Tyrant CH 099 Funeral And Reform

3 Comments

At this time, the coffin of the Duke of Buckingham rested in St Wyth’s Cathedral.

The funeral would be held in four days. Before that, representatives from various states and counties had already rushed to the Rose Palace from all over the land. The Duke of Buckingham was practically the last symbol of the empire of the last era, and his funeral was far more meaningful than all his contemporaries.

General Johan stood by his father’s coffin during the days awaiting the arrival of the funeral attendants.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

This was probably the time when General Johan spent the most time with the Duke of Buckingham. When he was young, the Duke of Buckingham led his troops to many expeditions, and when he grew up, he took over the task of stationing troops on the battlefield from his father. Accompanying the Duke of Buckingham with General Johan were his old friends.

First mate Charles also rushed to Metzl Castle on the day of the King’s return. He entered the palace to meet the King and handed a sword to the King.

“This was the sword he used back then.”

Charles looked at the long sword inlaid with rubies on the hilt with some reminiscence.

“At that time he left it on the ship, and now it is returned to its original owner.”

When the young Duke of Buckingham left the Walway Pirates, he asked if they needed some material support. At that time, the pirates on the ship drove him off the ship, clamoring that they would always have opportunities to rob the nobles. But, after the Duke of Buckingham left, they found the sword he had left in the room where he lived.

This sword should be a gift from the duke’s father, Charles the Lion, when he became a knight.

When the Duke of Buckingham bequeathed the sword that meant so much to him to the Walway pirates, the Walway pirates recognized him as one of their brothers.

“Let it accompany him,” Charles said, smiling.

When a knight with status was buried, descendants would use his sword as a funerary object. That was a symbol of his faithful fulfillment as a knight, fighting bravely, guarding the land and protecting the weak. But everything that belonged to the Duke of Buckingham was turned into bloodstained earth, and neither his armor nor the sword he carried at the time remained.

Charles knew this, and he came this time to bring the Duke’s sword.

According to the normal practice of the Holy See, it should be the Archbishop of St. Wyth Cathedral who presided over the entire ceremony of the Duke of Buckingham’s funeral. He was the head of the bishops of the entire Legrand area.

But the Archbishop of St. Wyth, who was supposed to be one of the most important figures at the funeral, was instead forgotten by the King.

Perhaps, it should not be called forgotten.

Rather, the King did not intend to involve Archbishop St. Wyth in this funeral.

“Father Anil has arrived.”

The Master of the Households reported to the King.

………………

Father Anil was waiting outside the Rose Palace to be received by the King.

He reached out and gently drew the cross on his chest, and whispered passages from the holy book in his heart.

At the invitation of the King, he came to Metzl Castle, the capital of Legrand, under the protection of several Iron Rose knights——or “wardens” as was likely more appropriate.

“Abbot.”

The young Father Remy looked at his mentor worriedly, and from time to time glanced at the swords on the waists of several Iron Rose knights in front of them, hesitating to speak.

Logically, as an ordinary abbot in a remote place, it should be an honor to be summoned by the King. But……

Father Remy couldn’t help but think of the story that had been spreading more and more these days——

It was said that the rebellion in the Northland was provoked by the Holy Court, and the death of the Duke of Buckingham was directly related to the Holy Court, which made the young king furious like never before. The always ruthless and tyrannical monarch was determined to set off a bloody war of vengeance for his uncle, and this vengeance would be directed at all the clergy in Legrand.

Those who talked of this privately regarded it as an after-dinner conversation topic, but Father Remy could not help being particularly alarmed.

He was different from ordinary priests. Before leaving the Holy Court with Father Anil, he also came into contact with some powers in the Holy Court and knew some things that ordinary people did not know.

Father Remy felt that the death of the Duke of Buckingham might really have something to do with the Holy Court.

If the Duke of Buckingham really died at the hands of the Holy Court, then the King, who had a habit of doing shocking or outrageous things, was likely to launch a bloody revenge campaign on the Holy Court forces in Legrand.

At this time, Abbot Anil received the King’s invitation, and it was difficult for Father Remy to control himself from not thinking more.

After persuading him to no avail, Father Remy worried that his mentor would come to the murderous palace alone, so he followed Father Anil here as well. Along the way, he clearly felt the coldness and hostility from the Iron Rose knights——this made him even more uneasy.

In the eyes of Father Remy, the magnificent and majestic Rose Palace was a huge execution ground.

“It’s all right, child.”

Father Anil opened his eyes, and he gently comforted his student.

Father Anil raised his head and looked at the huge cross on the top of St. Wyth’s Cathedral in the distance, as if he could see through it to another country on the west bank of the Abyss Strait, as well as the Holy Court that was decorated with crosses.

The news from Bressi and the Holy Court came day by day, the war in the Northland subsided day by day, and the pain in Abbot Anil’s heart grew day by day.

Sure enough, the Holy Court intervened in the rebellion in the Northland. In the name of the Holy Lord, countless lives were drawn into the vortex of war.

And war only brought hatred.

Rumors of the Jing’s imminent bloody vengeance against all the clergy unsettled Abbot Anil.

Among the clergy, there may be some people who were indeed the dark chess pieces of the Holy Court, but there were also more people who had nothing to do with the rebels. They were just some pious young people, but now they must bear this hatred because of what the Holy Court and the Pope had done.

And now, the torrent of hatred had swept over them.

The pain caused by war was difficult to erase, even if the victory was won in the end, the trauma was still extremely heavy. The free towns of Legrand, which directly bordered Newcastle and Balboa, suffered a brutal massacre during the rebellion. In fact, many people in the rebel army simply obeyed the orders of their lord.

The family of both sides, the elder brothers, died in this war, and many families were broken in just two months.

After happiness had become an illusion, people needed a target to divert the hatred.

The reason why the rumor spread so quickly was inseparable from this kind of pain and hatred.

Abbot Anil had a premonition of this scene when the war just started. And these days, he began to feel the change of people’s attitude towards the monastery: people did not accept their help to rebuild their homes, the poor refused their alms, and the number of people who went to pray began to decrease…..

The young priests in the monastery slowly hung their heads before the repulsion, not knowing what they had done wrong.

What were they doing wrong?

Didn’t they hold compassion in their hearts?

“But……”

Father Remy’s heart was bitter, and he wanted to say something else.

“Holy Lord above.”

Abbot Anil tapped lightly on his chest several times, and shook his head lightly to stop his words.

It was not that he didn’t know the danger of coming to the Rose Palace at this time, but he couldn’t avoid it just because of the possibility of danger. Those young pious people shouldn’t die when they are innocent. He wanted to say some things to the King, and wanted to make his pleas with the King. If this was really a path to meeting with death, then please start with him first.

This was their sin, and he had no regrets.

The Master of the Households came out of the palace.

He asked Father Anil to go in alone.

………………

The palace, the King’s study.

The King was going through all the records of the funeral rites.

A large part of the importance of the Holy Court’s status in the secular world came from the intermediary status of their clergy. In the concept of the Holy Court, believers were far away from the Kingdom of God, and bishops and priests held the key to the “gate of the Kingdom of God”. Funerals were an obvious manifestation of this status, and the core point of view was the “purgatory theory”.

But not everyone recognized this intermediary role of the clergy.

It was precisely because some theologians have held different opinions for a long time, the Holy See specially made a formal regulation at the Whitsunday Sanctuary in 1411: Purgatory was a place of exile and suffering, where the soul would be purified by the fires of purgatory until salvation was complete after the death of a person until before the “Doomsday Judgment”.

The King also heard rumors that he would raise a bloodbath in all the monasteries and churches, and to some extent, he also secretly facilitated the spread of these rumors.

However, the King did not intend to really do that.

One reason:

As early as a thousand years, people’s daily life had been integrated with faith. It could be said that belief had become an indispensable aspect of life. If one wanted to eliminate it directly, it would only have an impact on the existing system, and it might even cause the existing system to collapse.

The King did not deny that this belief had already become part of today’s Legrand.

His goal was not the faith itself, but the Holy Court as a belief institution.

After returning to Legrand, the King received some information about Bressi’s kingdom:

At the coronation of Prince Charles, he fulfilled the “Gift of Clemo V” by handing over to the Pope the secular dominion of the whole of the Lowlands and the western part of the kingdom.

But the Holy Court’s actions were not all smooth sailing. If it was only limited to this, they would not encounter much resistance, but if they wanted to truly gain control over the secular political economy, they would inevitably have some conflicts with the old local interests.

The Holy Court’s energy was spent on Bressi, and this was Legrand’s opportunity.

He wanted to build Legrand’s own church.

The Master of the Households knocked on the door.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Come in.”

The King closed the file in his hand, which was a record of the 1411 Whitsunday Council.

In this record, a priest protested the Pope’s interpretation of the “Confessions”. He denied the “purgatory theory” and the key concept of “the gate of the Kingdom of God”.

The priest, called:

Anil.

“He Qianmin, someone is looking for you!”

He Qianmin was talking to his classmates, and asked casually, “Who is it?”

“It seems to be your parents.”

“My parents?” He Qianmin raised his head and looked out the window: “Where are they?”

“In the teacher’s office now.”

“Office?” The boy who was playing a video game at the desk in front of He Qianmin raised his head, raised his eyebrows and said, “Having been away from home for half a month, Uncle He and Aunt Yang are here to arrest a certain someone?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Shut up.” He Qianmin threw a book over, frowning slightly.

“Don’t plan to go there?” Shi Ao put down the game console, turned his head and said, “By the way, it seems that Brother Jiang Chen is back at school today. Are you going to go out to eat with him after school? Add me.”

“Two words.” He Qianmin crooked his fingers, and when Shi Ao leaned over, he smiled and said two words: “Dream, on.”

Shi Ao was not annoyed, but leaned closer: “In exchange, I’ll tell you a secret.”

“Not interested.” He Qianmin said: “I won’t let you go with us, that uncle of yours is annoying enough, you are even more annoying.”

Shi Ao tilted his head and said with a smile, “Not even interested in the progress of the case investigation?”

He Qianmin: “What progress?”

Shi Ao: “Are you taking me along?”

He Qianmin: “You talk first.”

Shi Ao: “You agree first.”

“He Qianmin——” the class leader stood at the front door and shouted, “Our homeroom teacher asked you to go to the office building!”

He Qianmin got up: “You have to guarantee it’s news that I don’t know.”

“Of course.” Shi Ao said, “I overheard it from my uncle, I guarantee you don’t know.”

He Qianmin nodded: “Deal.”

When the bell rang for the last period, He Qianmin knocked on the door of the first year office.

“Please come in.”

He Qianmin glanced at his parents sitting on one side, stood at the door and said, “Teacher He, you wanted to see me.”

“It’s your parents who want to see you. They want to know about your situation at school, and then they have something to say to you.” Teacher He stood up, turned to look at the He Yanfeng couple, and said with a smile: “Then I won’t disturb you.”

Yang Yun said with a gentle smile, “Thank you, Teacher He.”

He Qianmin withdrew his gaze, turned and walked out: “I still have to go to class, so we can talk about it later.”

“He Qianmin.” Teacher He stopped He Qianmin: “Missing this self-study class will not delay the progress of your studies. You can take your time with your parents here.”

He Qianmin said lightly, “There’s nothing to talk about.”

“Qian Min, wait a minute.” Yang Yun grabbed He Qianmin’s arm and said, “Mom and Dad have something important to tell you.”

“What is it?” He Qianmin pursed his lips, then turned around and asked.

“After school later…..”

Yang Yun paused, then turned to look outside the door.

“I heard that Jiang Chen is back?”

“He came back during the first period.”

“How’s the situation? Was he injured?”

“There was a bandage on his hand, it doesn’t look too serious, but when encountering this kind of thing, I’m afraid it would take some time for anyone to adjust their mental state.”

There was chatter in the corridor, and two teachers walked in while chatting.

“Yesterday, the third year group had a meeting about this matter, saying…..Teacher He?” The teacher who walked in stopped talking, looked at He Qianmin beside Teacher He, and then at the He Yanfeng couple beside him, footsteps pausing: “This is?”

“The parents of our student.” Teacher He said with a smile: “Came to the school to find out about the student’s situation.”

The two teachers greeted the He Yanfeng couple, walked to their seats and sat down. Since there were other people around, they paused in their talk.

“How about this.” Teacher He said: “The small conference room next door is empty, and no one will go there during this period. Why don’t you go to the small conference room to talk, Mr. He?”

He Yanfeng: “I’m sorry for the trouble.”

Yang Yun took He Qianmin’s hand and said softly: “Mom and Dad really have something very important to tell you, and we also came here today to apologize to you, can you give us this chance to ask for forgiveness?”

He Qianmin pursed his lips, turned around and followed into the small conference room.

Teacher He took them to the conference room, stood at the door and said, “Then I will leave you to it.”

Yang Yun smiled and said, “I’m sorry to trouble you today.”

“It is of no matter.” Teacher He smiled, and when the door was half closed, he thought of something, stopped and said, “Mr. He, Mrs. He, I want to ask you something.”

He Qianmin found a random place to sit down, and raised his head upon hearing this. Yang Yun, “Please go ahead?”

“Excuse me…..but do you know the student Jiang Chen?”

“Jiang Chen?” Yang Yun was taken aback for a moment, and He Yanfeng asked, “Why does Teacher He ask this?”

“It’s like this.” Teacher He thought for a while, and said, “Before, He Qianmin got in a fight with our class’s Shi Ao, I asked him to call his guardians over, but the one who came was Jiang Chen from class 1 of the third year. They both said that they are brothers, but I went to class 1 of the third year to ask about the situation, and it seems that Jiang Chen and He Qianmin are not related…..”

Seeing that He Yanfeng and Yang Yun had different expressions, Teacher He explained: “Student He Qianmin’s parents, I don’t want to blame the children for this, and I don’t want you to blame the children for it. I just want to ask whether there is a lack of communication at home, or whether you are a bit too strict on him, so he chose not to notify you when he needed to call his guardians, and instead found a child of around the same age to pretend to be——”

“Jiang Chen is indeed Qian Min’s older brother.” He Yanfeng smiled lightly, interrupting Teacher He, “This matter is a bit complicated to explain, please forgive us for not being able to tell you the specifics, but my son did not lie.”

Teacher He paused, then hesitated, “Jiang Chen is He Qianmin’s older brother?”

“Indeed.”

Teacher He was relieved: “I thought the child was worried about letting his parents know and getting scolded. If that’s the case, I won’t say more and leave time to you.”

The door was gently closed, and the small conference room fell into silence.

“If you have nothing to say, I’ll go back to the classroom.” He Qianmin stood up and said.

He Yanfeng pressed his shoulders, sat down next to him and said, “Please explain what your classroom teacher said just now.”

He Qianmin lowered his head and took out his mobile phone, narrowing his eyes slightly: “I don’t want you two to come to my school, so I had my brother come instead. Does this even need an explanation?”

Through the conversation with He Qianmin’s homeroom teacher, He Yanfeng could see that Teacher He was serious and responsible, but at the same time might also be too serious and suspicious. It was impossible for such a person to believe He Qianmin just because he said so.

He Yanfeng said: “How did you convince your homeroom teacher that you are brothers?”

He Qianmin: “Shi Ao called Shi Fengyue, and Shi Fengyue has a good relationship with my brother, so he naturally helped us cover.”

Hearing that it was Shi Fengyue, He Yanfeng let go of most of his doubts. Jiang Chen had a good relationship with Shi Fengyue and Li Nanfeng. He heard that during this investigation, Shi Fengyue used the military GPS coverage system for Jiang Chen without submitting an application, and even used satellite monitoring. This move caused dissatisfaction among many people, and he had to ask his older brother He Yanjun, and together with the Shi family they suppressed this matter.

“Why did you come to see me?” He Qianmin said indifferently: “If you want me to go home, then forget it. I don’t want to go back and see He Qianjian’s hypocritical face.”

“Son, we apologize to you.” He Yanfeng patted him on the shoulder and said: “We have been ignoring your feelings before, and we didn’t seriously think about what you said. We were wrong. Can you forgive us?”

He Qianmin looked up: “What do you mean by seriously thinking about what I said?”

“Do you still remember the details of your car accident?” He Yanfeng’s tone was calm and solemn: “Talk to Dad again, and explain every detail clearly.”

He Qianmin hesitated for a moment, but repeated the scene that had been repeated countless times, and said half-believingly, “Do you believe what I say?”

“Your brother…..Xiao Chen sent us a video.” He Yanfeng said mildly: “It’s the surveillance video of your hand being cut by a fruit knife that suddenly appeared at your last class reunion.”

“My brother? Why would he have that video? I went to the club the next day, and the surveillance camera skipped that part…..” He Qianmin paused: “But my brother’s ability could indeed help me find the video…..Because of this, you suddenly believe what I said before?”

Yang Yun gently touched He Qianmin’s face, and said softly, “I’m sorry, that Mom and Dad didn’t believe you before.”

“It’s hard for normal people to believe this kind of thing.” He Qianmin laughed lowly, suppressing the slight sting in his nose, and raised his head: “I blamed you before, but I don’t blame you now, so you don’t have to blame yourself. But I won’t go back with you either.”

“Qian Min…..”

He Qianmin shook his head: “It’s not me going against you two, nor is it an adolescent rebellion, I just want to spend more time with my brother, so if you came here today for this matter, then there is nothing to say anymore.”

“Are you going to never come home for the rest of your life?” He Yanfeng asked with his arms crossed.

“I will go back every holiday and attend every month’s gathering at Grandpa’s place.” He Qianmin said: “You can also come to see me at school if you want.”

He Yanfeng said: “Even if your brother lives at home and is in the room next to yours, you still won’t come back?”

He Qianmin sneered: “Is where He Qianjian lives any of my business?”

“I’m talking about Jiang Chen.” He Yanfeng said: “Your brother, Jiang Chen.”

“My brother?” He Qianmin paused, sat up straight subtly, and asked casually, “Why would my brother live in our house?”

He Yanfeng glanced at the time: “There is still ten minutes before class ends, you go and call your brother over first, while your mother and I will wait for you in the car. We will have dinner later together, and you’ll know then.”

……

After the end of class bell rang, He Qianmin walked in as soon as the teacher left the classroom.

This semester, He Qianmin came to see Jiang Chen almost five times a week. Not only do the students in class 1 of the third year of high school already know him, they also knew that he was Jiang Chen’s younger brother. A boy who saw him come in laughed: “God Jiang, your little brother is here.”

Shen Xu raised his hand, raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: “Little Brother Min, here to find your big brothers, eh?”

He Qianmin rolled his eyes at him. Jiang Chen raised his eyes and smiled, “You had physical education class? Coming over so fast.”

“Self-study.” He Qianmin said: “My parents are here, they are at the school gate now, and told me to ask you to have dinner together.”

Jiang Chen’s hand holding the book paused, and said, “Wait for me to pack up.”

“Okay.”

“If your parents are here, then what should we do for dinner?” Shen Xu: “Are we going together?”

He Qianmin pursed his lips and said, “Come if you want.”

“No, no, forget it, Huo Bo and I will just eat something casually.” Shen Xu shrank his neck and said curiously: “But if your parents came to look for you, what are they doing calling Jiangzi along for?”

He Qianmin’s eyes flickered slightly: “I don’t know.”

Shen Xu stroked his chin and guessed: “Is it because you ran away from home and now live in the same neighborhood as Jiangzi, and your parents came to question him? Or do they want to thank Jiangzi for taking care of you during this time? Or…..”

“Tell Huo Bo that we will meet up tomorrow, and your study sessions will start back up tomorrow.” Jiang Chen interrupted Shen Xu, stood up and said to He Qianmin, “Let’s go.”

Shen Xu’s eyes lit up, he stood up and waved his hands: “Eat well and have fun, see you later God Jiang!”

Just before stepping out the school gate, He Qianmin stopped and said, “Big Brother, have you ever thought about why my parents are looking for you?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Jiang Chen turned around: “You know?”

He Qianmin pursed his lower lip, avoiding Jiang Chen’s gaze: “I don’t know.”

Jiang Chen: “So we’ll know later.”

“What if it’s not a good thing?” He Qianmin grabbed Jiang Chen’s arm: “If what they came to find you for is not a good thing for you, what should we do?”

“Confront it.”

“Then resolve it.”

Feng Anyan was talking to Shen Zhen about the project that Shen Zhen invested in him, and just when he was talking enthusiastically, he saw Su Shiqing walking towards him, and his expression changed.

After all, he was still chasing Chu Haoyi, but Chu Haoyi still had Su Shiqing in his heart.

If he quibbled with Su Shiqing, it would make him seem like the bully, after all, his status was very different from Su Shiqing’s.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

But if he didn’t quibble with Su Shiqing, he still had anger in his heart, and he couldn’t pass that hurdle.

“What is he doing here?” Feng Anyan asked in a low voice.

In order to cooperate with him, Shen Zhen also replied in a low voice: “Maybe he wants to ask you for a role.”

Feng Anyan’s face turned dark: “In his dreams, if he became popular, I would be the one having a headache.”

If Su Shiqing became popular, wouldn’t he be seen everywhere, and it would be even more difficult for Chu Haoyi to forget him, it would basically be an impossible task.

Su Shiqing originally came over in fear, and when he saw Feng Anyan’s expression, he wanted nothing more than to retreat.

But as soon as he turned back around, his lies would be revealed, so he could only bite the bullet and walk over.

“Mr. Feng…..Xiao Zhen.” Su Shiqing stood in front of Feng Anyan and Shen Zhen, and said in a low voice, “I haven’t seen you for a long time, how are you doing recently?”

“No need to bother Mr. Su.” Feng Anyan said with a smile, “My days are quite comfortable without you.”

Su Shiqing’s eyes reddened again.

Feng Anyan’s expression was serious: “Don’t cry, I don’t fall for this trick, and I’m not Chu Haoyi or Qin Yue.”

When Su Shiqing heard the names Chu Haoyi and Qin Yue, tears came down.

Both say they love him.

But Qin Yue treated him badly and yelled at him every day. And Chu Haoyi didn’t come to him after so long, so he must have forgotten him as well.

There was originally still Liu Huan…..but…..

Su Shiqing thought about two months ago, when he moved into the house Liu Huan had prepared for him, fully thinking that Liu Huan would treat him well.

He still remembered that in the first week after moving, Liu Huan would visit him every day and give him some gifts, diamond buttons, limited edition watches, designer bags and other luxuries. And Liu Huan was very gentlemanly, never saying or doing anything that crossed the line.

This instead gave Su Shiqing a feeling that he was cherished and deeply loved.

Originally, he could still refuse with restraint, and said to Liu Huan: “Mr. Liu, I really can’t accept your kindness. Although I broke up with Ah Yue, I still think about him. I can’t start a new relationship right away. That is not responsible to me, nor to you.”

Liu Huan looked at Su Shiqing seriously with an affectionate face: “But you can’t sentence me to death, Qin Yue missed out on you, do you have the heart to miss out on me?”

Of course Su Shiqing couldn’t bear to miss out on Liu Huan.

Liu Huan was more mature than Qin Yue, knew when to advance and retreat better than Qin Yue, and was more gentle and romantic than Qin Yue.

He was also more sweet-talking than Qin Yue.

No matter how he looked at it, Liu Huan was better than Qin Yue, not only a little better, but much better.

Su Shiqing fell for the other naturally. While saying that he still thought of Qin Yue, he involuntarily became more and more intimate with Liu Huan.

He would look forward to Liu Huan’s visits every day, and he would also look forward to what surprise presents Liu Huan would bring him.

Even Su Yuan said to Su Shiqing: “I think Xiao Liu is very good. If you are with him, it will be much better than being with Qin Yue. I don’t have a good impression of Qin Yue. When we lived at Qin Yue’s place, when has he ever given me a good face? Or know to treat me as his elder?”

Ge Lan also chimed in: “I think so too, Shi Qing, what do you think?”

Su Shiqing stood in front of his parents with a blushing face, and nodded shyly.

So that night, when Liu Huan came to see him again, Su Shiqing pulled Liu Huan aside and offered to have Liu Huan stay the night.

Liu Huan asked in confusion, “In the guest room?”

Su Shiqing didn’t dare to look into Liu Huan’s eyes, and whispered, “The bed in my room can sleep two people.”

Liu Huan: “…..You mean, I’ll sleep with you tonight?”

Su Shiqing took Liu Huan’s hand: “Didn’t you keep asking me what I thought? I’ve already thought about it, and I’m ready to start a new life with you. Don’t worry, I’ve really forgotten Qin Yue, I am completely ready to be with you.”

“You don’t have to worry about Qin Yue being a problem. I will solve it. I will tell him that in this world, only feelings cannot be forced. Since I have made up my mind to separate from him, I will never change my mind.”

Liu Huan just looked at Su Shiqing seriously at that time, and asked again: “Are you sure?”

Su Shiqing nodded vigorously: “I’m sure!”

Liu Huan asked him, “It’s only been a month since you moved here.”

Su Shiqing looked at Liu Huan with embarrassment: “Sometimes it just takes a moment for the heart to be touched, you know that.”

Liu Huan: “…..Mr. Su, I didn’t expect you to switch your affections to another so quickly.”

Su Shiqing was dumbfounded at the time: “What do you mean?”

Liu Huan sighed: “I thought you could last a little longer.”

Su Shiqing: “…..”

Liu Huan: “I didn’t mean to play with your feelings on purpose, I do have good feelings towards you, but I can’t help but wonder if one day the two of us quarrel, will you also switch your affectuons to another within a month? “

Su Shiqing quickly said: “But, but you are different from others!”

Liu Huan sighed: “You used to think that Qin Yue was different from others, didn’t you?”

Su Shiqing looked at Liu Huan, as if he couldn’t understand what he was saying.

Liu Huan: “I don’t think we are suitable, I need a loyal lover.”

“How about this, you can continue to live in this house, and the rent is still as negotiated before, 600 a month is fine, but you have to figure out living expenses on your own. If you want to go back to Qin Yue, I won’t stop you either.”

It wasn’t until Liu Huan left that Su Shiqing realized what had happened.

He didn’t know what changed. Didn’t Liu Huan always like him very much, spending so much time and energy, and even so much money on pursuing him?

It was only once Liu Huan left that Su Shiqing realized that he had no money, and he couldn’t sell the things Liu Huan gave him. When he left Qin Yue, he didn’t have any luxury items on him, but now that he had them, of course he wouldn’t sell them.

It just so happened that he saw the news that the entertainment company was recruiting, so he went, and he was lucky.

It was only later that he found out that the boss of the company was Feng Anyan.

The contract had already been signed, and the penalty for breaking the contract was sky-high, so he could only stay.

At this moment, looking at Feng Anyan, Shen Zhen, and Liu Huan who were socializing not far away, Su Shiqing finally couldn’t help crying, and said while crying: “Why am I so miserable? Xiao Zhen doesn’t like me, Qin Yue treats me worse and worse, Hao Yi doesn’t come to see me, everyone bullies me, the whole world doesn’t like me, what did I do wrong?”

Su Shiqing looked at Shen Zhen, and he asked Shen Zhen: “Xiao Zhen, I returned Qin Yue to you, why are you still so cold to me? Why are you so hard-hearted and unfeeling?”

Shen Zhen had no expression on his face. After he changed his hairstyle, when he was expressionless, he gave off the feeling of contempt to others. Now when looking down at Su Shiqing from above, the feeling was even stronger, and not just contempt but even loathing.

Feng Anyan said impatiently: “Why are you crying? What a mood-killer.”

The people around were also attracted by Su Shiqing’s crying.

“What happened?”

“Who is crying?”

“I don’t know him, is he a little star?”

“Can a little star be that courageous? Crying in front of Young Master Feng and CEO Shen?”

Feng Anyan: “I told you not to cry, where’s your manager?”

When bringing the artists under them, the manager would also be present, but they were just not among the guests outside.

Feng Anyan shouted into the villa: “Where are the managers who brought the artists here?”

A group of people upstairs responded: “Young Master Feng, over here.”

Feng Anyan was furious: “Get out here now!”

Sure enough, the group of people quickly went downstairs and appeared in front of Feng Anyan.

These managers were not particularly important figures in the company. The top tier agents were in charge of famous artists, so it was naturally impossible to bring such artists to this kind of occasion.

“Who is responsible for this person?” Feng Anyan pointed to Su Shiqing who was squatting on the ground and asked.

A long-haired woman walked out of the crowd. She was wearing a short black skirt and her hair was not tied up. She looked very neat and professional. When she saw Su Shiqing crying, she knew the situation had become messy.

What kind of occasion was this, as if they needed such a mood-killer?

She quickly pulled Su Shiqing up from the ground with a lot of force. Su Shiqing’s strength was not as strong as hers, so he could only be pulled up passively by her. She also pressed Su Shiqing’s head and bowed to Feng Anyan together: “Young Master Feng, I didn’t look at him carefully, it is my fault, I will take him away immediately.”

Feng Anyan said to the people around him, “Go ahead and continue, I’ll take care of the company’s internal affairs.”

The people around also smiled, and then scattered away.

Feng Anyan asked her: “How many years has he signed?”

The agent said, “Seven years.”

Feng Anyan: “What did he sign? An idol group?”

The agent nodded quickly: “Yes.”

Feng Anyan asked: “Is there someone named Jefferson in the group?”

The manager was a little confused, and she didn’t know why Feng Anyan noticed this small idol group. Could it be that someone in the group caught his eye? But she still replied, “Yes.”

Feng Anyan: “Okay, come to my office tomorrow to find me.”

Then he said: “As for this person, don’t let him appear in front of my eyes in the future, and don’t let him appear on TV or the Internet.”

This was basically giving up on him.

Although she didn’t know what was going on, the manager still nodded, but also asked, “What about the others?”

After all, it was a group, if one was given up it was not a big loss, but if all of them were given up it was really a bit of a loss.

Feng Anyan asked: “How many people are there in the group?”

The agent thought to herself, didn’t I just say that? But still replied: “Seven.”

Feng Anyan: “With one less, there’s six, the number six symbolizes smooth-sailing, the meaning is not bad.”

Su Shiqing’s eyes widened as he listened to their words, his lips trembling.

What did this mean? Didn’t this mean that he lost his chance to debut?

Seven years, wasted just like that?

Even if he sold everything Liu Huan gave him, he still couldn’t afford the contract penalty.

Although those things were all luxury goods, their second-hand prices were not high at all, and even if they were all sold, it would not be enough to make up a million.

The contract penalty was more than just one million yuan.

Su Shiqing: “Mr. Feng! Mr. Feng! Don’t treat me like this! Give me a chance! Don’t you have a very good relationship with Xiao Zhen? I have a very good relationship with Xiao Zhen too!”

He looked at Shen Zhen as if grasping at a straw, and said pleadingly: “Xiao Zhen, please help me, please, please help me! You will also feel sympathy when you see me in such a miserable state right?”

Feng Anyan sneered and said, “Mr. Su, I think you misunderstood one thing. You don’t seem to have any qualifications to call CEO Shen ‘Xiao Zhen’ now?”

Su Shiqing was shedding tears, like a pitiful little white flower swaying in the wind.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

Shen Zhen looked at Su Shiqing, he looked at Su Shiqing’s tears, and the deep pleading in his eyes, and he couldn’t help but wonder if he had the same expression when he was desperately begging Qin Yue in his previous life?

“Mr. Su.” Shen Zhen said, “Don’t beg me.”

Su Shiqing looked at Shen Zhen in a daze.

Shen Zhen smiled, maliciously and mockingly: “I find it nauseating.”

After Becoming The Tyrant

After Becoming The Tyrant CH 098 The Long Night And The Dawn

1 Comment

In the fireplace, the burning firewood made crackling sounds, and emitted a warm yellow fire light that casted a halo on the person at the door. The phantom figure that appeared in front of the King when the bard plucked his strings was no longer blurred.

The best queen of Kriya, the Queen Dowager of Legrand.

His mother.

For more than ten years, the Duke of Buckingham kept a secret that could not be revealed. He guarded the mad queen in order to protect the Kong, as well as protect the queen dowager herself…..He was only waiting for the mad queen to become lucid, and able to be the King’s mother.

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

This was the last gift left to him by the Duke of Buckingham.

He did everything he could for the King.

The King was sitting on the ground with his head raised upwards. For a moment, he couldn’t tell whether everything was an illusion or reality. Bitter and breathless…..all the complicated and unspeakable emotions came like a surging tide.

Queen Eleanor with black hair and green eyes walked over, tears streaming down her thin face.

She half knelt down before the King, stretched out her hands and embraced him in her arms. She had lost the whole world, and now she had it all again, her child, her little Pureland.

Fate was too cruel to them.

Eleanor pressed her forehead against the King’s silver hair, and her hands that once picked up the bloodstained lance and sharpened a piece of iron into a sharp blade trembled at this moment. Her lips trembled, and she couldn’t say a word for a long time. When looking at the King in the Rose Palace, Eleanor once thought about what she would say when she saw her child.

She thought of so many things, but now she couldn’t say a word.

Fate was too unfair to this family.

Her child should have been the most noble and respected king in the world, but he was sitting on the ground by the desk, holding the letter, and was so filled with sorrow that he was just a child who had lost too much.

“My child, my little Pureland…..” Eleanor finally spoke, choking with sobs. She hugged him tightly and whispered, “I am here, I am here.”

Therefore, there was no need to suppress the sadness anymore, someone would wipe away your tears when you cry, hug you tightly, and prevent you from being attacked by the cold wind.

“He’s gone.”

The King said hoarsely.

Gone forever and never coming back.

His tears finally fell down.

A hug that was warm enough, a pair of trembling hands, a mother who was lost and found again…..After so many years, after struggling to survive in hatred and coldness, someone finally taught him how to let his tears flow when he was so filled with sorrow. At this moment, he was the same as all children who had lost their loved ones.

A pair of hands gently patted his back, as gentle as in those vague memories.

Queen Eleanor, her black hair falling over the King’s silver, held her child tightly.

Like holding a newborn baby, she hummed a familiar lullaby in a low and hoarse voice in the warm fireplace light. She once hummed this lullaby to lull the young King who wanted to see his father to sleep, and now she hummed this lullaby again, hoping to soothe the sadness in her child’s heart.

The night covered the land, and the crows flew up in surprise.

All partings, all encounters, all sorrows…..would pass through the long night.

…………

Southeast of Legrand, the port of Koszoya.

Today’s Captain Hawkins was quieter than ever before, and the young sailors on the ship toast secretly to celebrate not having to suffer torment from their neurotic captain, but some older pirates were silent.

Captain Hawkins, wearing a black slanted hat, sat alone on the railing of the bow deck, the back of his figure looking like he was about to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. He was holding a wine bottle in his hand and was throwing his head back, trying to pour some more down his throat. After shaking it a few times, two drops of wine fell into Captain Hawkins’ mouth. With a “tsk”, he threw the bottle into the sea.

The Witch shrouded in a black dress looked at the captain who was rarely quiet without the first mate, and didn’t bother him.

Gulu, gulu.

A small wooden barrel rolled to the Witch’s feet and bounced slightly upward.

The Witch understood that it was Jenny who wanted to talk to her.

The contract she signed with Jenny was different from others, and she was the only one who could communicate directly with Jenny.

The Witch stretched out her hand and pressed it against the railing.

Jenny’s voice sounded in her mind: “Griselda, Griselda…..that bastard who almost burned my sail back then…..Duke Buckingham, can’t he come again?”

The Witch was slightly taken aback. Jenny had always been like a little girl, she didn’t expect that Jenny would feel this keenly.

“Just like William?”

The Witch looked up at Captain Hawkins who was drinking alone, and responded in a low voice.

The sails on the ship suddenly drooped listlessly, and no longer floated upwards.

The wind blew all night at sea, and Captain Hawkins sat on the rail and drank all night. When the eastern sky became lit by dawn, he stood up unsteadily on the railing, staggered from the railing and fell into the sea with a “plop”, splashing water high.

The pirates who came to clean the deck in the morning happened to see this and thought their captain had gone crazy again, jumping into the sea to wash his brain again.

The Witch smiled wryly and ordered for Captain Hawkins to be quickly picked up from the sea.

………………

Rose Palace.

The sun had just risen, and the light fell on the spiers of the magnificent palace and castle. The King and Queen Dowager Eleanor stood together in the stone pavilion where the Duke of Buckingham rested when he took a walk with the King.

Winter had receded, and in the Rose Palace where the temperature was higher than outside, roses had begun to bloom again. The rose vines coiled around the stone pavilion had already begun to be decorated a little bit by new green buds. Wearing a scarlet cloak, the King stretched out his hand to hold on to the railing. He had already suppressed his emotions again.

Queen Eleanor looked at her child.

Time passed quickly, and in the years she wasn’t involved, her child had grown up to be as strong as his father.

Always remembering his responsibility as a monarch, and restraining himself from drowning in sorrow.

“Time flies, you’ve grown up.”

Queen Eleanor revealed a complicated smile.

According to the original secret spell, the King’s soul existed in two worlds at the same time. But the baptism of the Holy Court made the King’s soul carry the breath of the Holy Spirit, and coupled with the various illusions she saw at that time, this made her mistakenly believe that the secret spell failed and the King was replaced by the Holy Spirit.

Would her child have an easier and happier life if she hadn’t been crazy for so many years?

She failed to fulfill the responsibilities of a mother, she failed to shield her child from the wind and rain.

The King sensed the remorse hidden in the queen mother’s voice.

He turned his head and looked at his mother.

“No.” The King gave her a gentle hug. “You saved me, many times.”

In the last letter left by the Duke of Buckingham, he told the King the reason why Queen Eleanor had been insane for so many years——she had witnessed her child die time and time again in front of her own eyes.

When he saw this, the King understood everything.

When he was “Zhu Chi”, he would have nightmares again and again, but after waking up, he would forget what happened in the dream, leaving only a feeling of powerlessness and rage behind. When the Holy Court used the secret method of baptism to carry out an assassination, he got the answer from the Devil: that was the power of the secret method of baptism.

Yesterday he remembered everything.

All nightmares had the same content…..He would be in various dangers, and he faced death again and again.

“You saved me.”

The King repeated it again.

“Again and again.”

In those nightmares, he felt so weak and powerless, he felt that the whole world wanted to kill him, he was a person who was out of place and not tolerated by the world. But every time, there would be a voice, and a figure would hold him firmly in the darkness.

It was because of that voice and those hands that he didn’t lose himself in the constant cycle of nightmares and struggled to survive again and again.

Before, he forgot. Before, he didn’t know what it was.

Now he knew.

The one who protected him again and again in his dreams…..was his mother who was in pain and suffering under madness because of losing him.

In her painful illusions, she saw her child face danger time and time again, so she reached out her hand again and again trying to hold him. From a world apart, from such a long distance, her love traveled through time and space, like the wings of a goshawk, protecting her chick and allowing him to grow up safely.

The King finally understood why he wanted to survive by all means.

Because he was not hated by the world, he was also loved by someone.

He must come back, he must come back to Legrand.

Here was his family, this was his country, his land.

“Are you going back to Kriya?” The King asked his mother. “I met a bard. They still miss you. They will be glad to know that you are still alive.”

Eleanor straightened the King’s collar. She looked at her son, who she hadn’t been able to get a close look at yesterday. His blue eyes were the same as William III’s. His thoughtfulness was also exactly the same as his father’s. They were both not good at expressing themselves, nor good at dealing with soft emotions.

The queen mother understood that the King wanted to distract her from her guilt.

She shook her head: “I can’t go back now. In the eyes of the world, I have already died of illness. If I appear rashly, it will cause them trouble. Moreover, I will defend your kingdom in the shadows. You are the only monarch of Legrand.”

Her voice was gentle but firm.

The Master of the Households stopped at a distance from the mother and child who finally met. He looked at the former mistress of the palace, his eyes slightly moist, and he murmured in a low voice: “How wonderful.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

How wonderful, that at least not everyone had left.

“Come over.”

The King sensed his steward’s arrival.

The Master of the Households was here to report on the preparations for the Duke of Buckingham’s funeral.

It would be a funeral, and it would be a declaration of war.

After Two Lifetimes I Was Reborn Back Inside A Book CH 088 Never Give Up On Me

“Any sign?”

“No, the first team will go three kilometers to the west, the second team will go north, and the third team will go to the village to ask the villagers if they have seen any unfamiliar faces recently. The others will follow me upwards and continue to search!”

“Yes, sir!”

The bearded man walked in the front, and the young policeman followed behind him. While searching, he couldn’t help asking: “Boss, do you think the information from that child is true or not? We have been searching in the deep mountains and old forests for more than two hours. I don’t even see the van, let alone a shadow of that man, maybe he made a mistake…..”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Just keep searching.” The bearded man said without turning his head: “Also, he is not much younger than you, child, child, aren’t you a child as well?”

“Isn’t he still in school?” The young policeman said, “I’ve been out of school for two years, so of course he is a child to me.”

The bearded man pushed aside the weeds in front of him and stepped on the stones on the ground: “Okay, stop talking nonsense, and be careful.” The last part was spoken in a raised volume.

“Captain!” Someone shouted from behind: “There is blood here!”

The bearded man paused, then immediately turned and walked over there, followed by the young policeman.

“This bloodstain should have been left here for at least five hours.” The policeman squatting on the ground said: “The amount of bleeding is not small. Let’s look around. He shouldn’t be able to run very far.”

“Search!” The bearded man said loudly, “Don’t miss any trace!”

“Yes, sir!”

The policemen dispersed and began to search. The bearded man also bent over to search for traces carefully. The young policeman didn’t go far and shouted: “There are also bloodstains here!”

He pushed aside the grass that had clearly been crushed underfoot, and walked through a bush half a person’s height, when he suddenly heard the sound of water droplets falling on the ground. He quickened his pace, walked out into an open place, turned on the flashlight, and immediately rushed back:

“Found him! The suspect is in the cave!”

The scattered police quickly ran to this side, and the bearded man also jogged over quickly.

“Lead the way.”

The young policeman led a group of people through a small piece of bushes, revealed the cave covered by vines, turned on the flashlight and said, “In here.”

The bearded man stepped forward to check, frowned and said, “The man is dead, go and call the forensic doctor, and continue to send people to find the van.”

The young policeman looked around the corpse and said in a low voice, “Boss, did he die by himself or…..”

“Being able to escape so far is enough to prove his desire to survive. Let’s wait for the forensic doctor to come up with the specific situation.”

“But this person is dead, isn’t our trail of clues cut off?”

The bearded man said: “Who said the trail of clues is cut off? Isn’t there still Li De?”

“Li De?” The young policeman’s eyes lit up: “Do you also think that the suspect has accomplices inside Li De?”

“Not necessarily in Li De, but that person must have been in Li De that day.” The bearded man said in a deep voice, “This case is getting more and more difficult. You stay here and I will report the progress of the case first.”

“Yes, boss.”

The bearded man turned around and left the cave. Just after reporting the situation, a policeman came to meet him and said, “Boss, we found the van. It’s in an abandoned earthen house at the foot of the mountain.”

“Go, let’s go have a look.”

“Has the van driver been found?”

Jiang Chen handed the peeled orange to Yang Si, turned to old Mr. Xiang and said, “We found him, but the person is already dead.”

Old Mr. Xiang frowned: “Then the trail of clues is cut off?”

“Yesterday, Capt. Wang said that he was checking the internal monitoring of Li De that day, hoping to find the suspect’s accomplice.”

“What’s going on?” Yang Si took the orange and didn’t eat it, worried: “Why do they want to harm Chen Chen? The suspect is dead…..is the matter even more serious now? Will Chen Chen still be in danger in the future?”

Old Mr. Xiang exchanged looks with Jiang Chen, and then smiled kindly at Yang Si: “Xiao Yang, you have to believe that the police will find out the truth about this matter, and I assure you, there will be no more incidents involving Xiao Chen. We will send someone to protect him.”

“Mom…..” Jiang Chen grabbed Yang Si’s hand: “I’ll be fine, don’t worry.”

Yang Si grasped Jiang Chen’s hand tightly, her eyes unable to hide her worry. Although she still didn’t know exactly what Jiang Chen was doing and researching, she was basically sure that what Jiang Chen was researching might be very important.

In the past few days, wave after wave of people came to visit the ward. Apart from the police officers who came over every day, there were also many important people who she had never thought of being able to meet face to face. Those people had a very good attitude towards Jiang Chen. If it was in the past, she would be proud of her son’s achievements, but now, she only hoped that Jiang Chen was just an ordinary teenager who could grow up safely.

“Mr. Xiang.” Yang Si shook her head: “It’s not that I don’t believe you, but I’m really scared. These past few days, I just needed to close my eyes and I would end up thinking of that day. I originally thought everything would be fine if we caught the suspect, but now the suspect is dead, the police are saying there is an accomplice. What if his accomplice still wants to hurt my son? I hope you can understand my worry as a mother. If I can’t make sure that he is really safe, now I will even feel fear if he just walks out of the ward…..”

“Of course I understand you.” Old Mr. Xiang put away his smile and said seriously, “So I solemnly assure you once again that we will absolutely guarantee Jiang Chen’s safety. Please believe me on this point.”

“I am unable yet to tell you what Jiang Chen is researching, but I hope you know that what your son is doing now is of great significance to the whole country and even the whole world, and you should be proud of him.”

Seeing Jiang Chen nodding on the side, Yang Si looked away helplessly, and said slowly, “My husband and I have never restrained our child from pursuing his interests since he was young. We would support him unconditionally in whatever he wanted to do, because we never thought about how to make him into an excellent person. We only hope that he will grow up safely and healthily. But what he is doing now puts him in danger…..Even if you say that he is making great contributions to the country and the world, for parents like us, these things are not as important as the safety of my child.”

Old Mr. Xiang nodded: “I know what you mean, but…..”

“Please listen to me.” Yang Si said: “But like I said before, my husband and I have always respected every decision of our child, and it is still the case now. I can see that Chen Chen likes what he is doing now, and I also see the efforts he has put into it. As a mother, no matter how worried I am, I will choose to support him.”

Old Mr. Xiang was stunned for a moment, and his expression softened: “Jiang Chen being able to grow into such an excellent individual is closely related to the family education you and your husband have given him. Thank you for raising such a talent for our country.”

Yang Si shook her head with a smile, and said to Jiang Chen, “Aren’t you going back to school today? Go, don’t be late.”

Jiang Chen nodded and left with old Mr. Xiang.

On the way to send Jiang Chen to Yan No. 1 High School, old Mr. Xiang sighed, put his hands on Jiang Chen’s shoulders, and said in a tone of self-reproach, “I didn’t think carefully…..I didn’t pay attention to concealing your identity when I brought you to the research institute that day. Causing you to have to face such danger the next day.”

Jiang Chen shook his head: “Professor, this matter has nothing to do with the Institute.”

Old Mr. Xiang was about to speak, but when he saw Jiang Chen’s firm expression, he frowned: “Do you know who is behind this incident?”

Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes coldly: “I guessed it to some extent.”

“Who is it?”

“There is no evidence currently.” Jiang Chen pursed his lips and said, “Besides, I still have some things to investigate, and I can’t tell you right now, so as not to startle the snake.”

Old Mr. Xiang disagreed: “What if that person wants to continue to hurt you? And you provided the direction so that the police could investigate better. No matter what you want to investigate, you must put your own safety first. Just now you also heard what your mother said, she is so worried about you, you can’t risk yourself.”

“Don’t worry, I can protect myself.” Jiang Chen chuckled lightly, “I even managed to come out with just a few scratches when a van rampaged after me.”

“Can you have such good luck every time?” Old Mr. Xiang glared at Jiang Chen, paused, and said earnestly: “I know your ability, plus that kid Shi Fengyue and the research and development project you are currently holding may indeed help you investigate some things, but this does not conflict with handing over the investigation to those professional police officers. The investigation progress can speed up if both sides participate, and the identification of the suspect can also ensure your safety.”

“Professor Xiang, the police won’t be able to find anything.” Jiang Chen said, “The matter I want to investigate is related to my future research and development projects. Trust me, I won’t mess around.”

Seeing his determination, old Mr. Xiang could only shake his head: “As you insist.”

The car stopped at the gate of Yan No. 1 High School. The bell for the first period in the afternoon had just rang, and there was no one at the gate.

Jiang Chen got out of the car and waved to old Mr. Xiang: “Professor Xiang, see you later.”

“Be safe.”

“I know!”

He family house.

Yang Yun changed her clothes again, came out of the walk-in closet, and said to He Yanfeng who was looking at the computer: “What do you think of my outfit?”

“Not bad.” He Yanfeng raised his head and smiled, “It makes you look very gentle.”

“Then do you think Xiao Chen will be more relaxed when he sees me dressed like this?”

Thinking of the news he had received in the past few days, and He Yanjun’s special reminder to him that the upper level attached great importance to Jiang Chen’s scientific research projects, He Yanfeng closed his laptop and said, “You just need to dress comfortably, Jiang Chen may not be nervous at all.”

“But what we’re going to talk to him about later might make him feel rejection towards us.” Yang Yun straightened her clothes and said, “I hope to look more approachable for him, maybe our talk will even go smoother.”

“Don’t worry.” He Yanfeng smiled: “Nothing will go wrong today.”

“I hope so…..” Yang Yun looked up at the door, then turned around and said, “Qian Jian had a fever last night, can we leave him at home alone today?”

“Isn’t there an auntie at home?” He Yanfeng stood up and said, “And he is a grown boy, how could he not know how to take care of himself well?”

Yang Yun nodded and looked away.

Since seeing the surveillance video of He Qianmin’s injury three days ago, even though the matter had not been investigated clearly, so long as she thought that he might have really done something to hurt He Qianmin, she would always get complicated emotions when seeing He Qianjian. It was now very difficult to look at him the same way she did before.

But no matter what, as her first child, He Qianjian, even if he was the wrong child, had a special meaning to her from He Qianmin and He Qianyu, because from the time she was pregnant with him to giving birth to him, it was during the most difficult time with He Yanfeng. Moreover before this, He Qianjian had always been the most sensible and well-behaved eldest son to her. Even if she knew that Jiang Chen and He Qianjian were switched, it was not as shocking to her as learning that He Qianjian might have hurt He Qianmin.

The two children were already adults, and while switching their identities back might have some impact on the two families, the children were still familiar to them. The whole thing could be taken as correcting a mistake, but it would not affect their relationship in the end. Yang Yun believed that it would be like once He Qianjian went to the Jiang family, the Jiangs would still recognize Jiang Chen as their son. Even if Jiang Chen came back to the He family, He Qianjian would still be their child.

But the latter was different. If He Qianjian had been deceiving them for so many years and had been hurting He Qianmin, then it meant that everything she had seen might be false. Not only was He Qianjian not the child she thought he was, but he might even be vicious, calculating and double-faced, his core somehow becoming rotten along the way.

The mistake of Jiang Chen and He Qianjian’s identity could be corrected, but if He Qianjian was not the child she knew at all, what about their relationship for so many years?

In the past three days, in order not to let herself think about these things, Yang Yun’s attention towards He Qianjian had been lowered again and again, so she didn’t even know that He Qianjian was drenched in the rain when he came home yesterday. So she couldn’t help but blame herself and worry when seeing him having a fever this morning.

If it was all just a misunderstanding, then she would do him a deeper injury by treating him this way.

“I’ll go to Qian Jian’s room to have a look.” Yang Yun was still worried, and said, “We’ll set off after seeing if his fever has subsided.”

He Yanfeng knew his wife’s character, and he was already quite surprised by her indifference to He Qianjian these days, so he just nodded after hearing her say that: “Go.”

Yang Yun knocked lightly on the door of He Qianjian’s room, but she didn’t get any response. After thinking about it, she opened the door carefully and walked in.

“It’s all over, do you know that! Don’t you know that if it’s found out, it’ll all be over!”

Yang Yun paused and looked up. The curtains of the room were all down, she could only vaguely see He Qianjian standing by the bed with his back to the door, slightly bowed and his tone hysterical.

[It is impossible for earthling police to follow the clues to find you here. I don’t know what you are worried about at all, and I reminded you from the beginning that that human is not a suitable partner for cooperation. It is not difficult to predict that he would fail.]

“Isn’t it because of you that I could only cooperate with him? If it wasn’t for your refusal to help, if it wasn’t for you insisting on abiding by that f**king rule, would I be in such a passive situation?”

[I must abide by the system’s rules, and your passive situation is also caused by you. I reminded you a long time ago, don’t waste time and energy targeting Jiang Chen, even if he is the real child of the He family, he is not a threat, but you? Fighting and scheming against him every chance you get, now that things have come to this point, you are to blame.]

“I am to blame?” He Qianjian growled, “If it wasn’t for your refusal to make a move! How could I target him all the time! Don’t you know if my…..”

“Qian Jian!” Seeing that He Qianjian was getting more and more excited, as if in the next moment he would hit the wall with his fist, Yang Yun hurriedly stopped him: “What’s wrong? Who are you talking to?”

“Mom?” He Qianjian shook and turned his head stiffly: “Why are you here?”

“I wanted to see if your fever had subsided.” Yang Yun suppressed the worries in her heart and said, “Qian Jian, Mom has noticed that you have been under a lot of pressure recently and your mood is not stable. How about going to see a psychiatrist in a few days?”

“I’m fine.” He Qianjian breathed a sigh of relief, but his tone was still a little stiff: “Mom, what you just heard are the lines of our school’s drama club, did it scare you?”

“Lines?” Yang Yun was taken aback: “Then you were also memorizing lines when you spoke in your room a few times before?”

“You heard me before?” He Qianjian suppressed the panic in his heart and hurriedly said, “What did you hear?”

“Not sure, but I heard you seem to be throwing a table once.”

“That’s because the table needed to be thrown in that scene.” He Qianjian twitched the corner of his mouth, lowered his head and said, “Although I quit the drama club in my third year of high school, I like to recite lines every time I’m stressed…..”

Yang Yun pursed her lips: “In the past six months you seem to be more and more stressed, and your mood has been very unstable. Can you talk to Mom about the reason?”

He Qianjian’s tone was low: “Probably because a talented competitor suddenly appeared. I have been the best among my peers since I was a child, but after he appeared, not only do his grades far surpasses mine, even Qian Min and Qian Yu…..I know that my relationship with Qian Min has always been very rigid, and I have been trying to change this situation for so many years. I thought there was still hope, but with him showing up…..”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“Not only Qian Min, but even Qian Yu and Mom and Dad…..all like him so much.” He Qianjian smiled wryly: “Sometimes I wonder if I’m really inferior to him in everything, that’s why I have become like this. I am really afraid that one day I will lose everything…..”

“Mom, can you promise that you will never give up on me?”

Yang Yun paused, looked up to see He Qianjian’s pleading expression, and felt a tug in her heart. She concealed the emotions in her eyes, and said softly: “As long as you are always the kind and gentle child in Mom’s heart, Mom will never give up on you.”

Feng Anyan was surrounded by a lot of people, and when he saw Liu Huan and Shen Zhen, he rushed over to greet them. Although he invited many people, only these two were the most important of his guests. Liu Huan originally had a high status, and Shen Zhen was his investor.

“I was worried that you wouldn’t come.” Feng Anyan pushed everyone away.

Liu Huan smiled and said, “Young Master Feng inviting me over is to give me face, so why not come?”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

The smile on Feng Anyan’s face was a bit awkward, he had finally met someone whose tongue was as acrimonious as his own.

Feng Anyan laughed twice: “Brother Liu is too polite.”

After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Shen Zhen: “I thought you wouldn’t come.”

Just as Shen Zhen was about to speak, there was a bald man next to him who probably thought that Shen Zhen didn’t look like a person in the business circle. Although he was dressed like that, judging by his good looks and flashy hairstyle, he appeared more like either a rich second generation or a young actor.

But this time Feng Anyan didn’t invite any rich second generation, so naturally he misunderstood.

The bald man smiled and said, “This is Young Master Feng’s…..”

Another person muttered in a low voice: “Isn’t it Mr. Liu’s? I just had a drink with them, could it be…..a threesome…..that’s quite wild.”

Feng Anyan was afraid that Shen Zhen would become angry, so he quickly said: “I forgot to introduce you, this is CEO Shen, Shen Zhen, you all know Huitong Real Estate and Huitong Information Network Company, right?”

The bald man reacted quickly, and said quickly: “I only knew that CEO Shen is young, but I didn’t expect CEO Shen to be so good-looking as well. I almost mistook CEO Shen for being a big celebrity.”

Shen Zhen still said politely: “It’s nothing.”

The bald man said ingratiatingly: “CEO Shen has achieved such success at such a young age, young people nowadays are quite amazing.”

Soon flattery and praises flowed from the people around them as if it didn’t cost money.

There were also people who had never heard of Shen Zhen, and asked in a low voice, “Who is this person? Do they have to go that far?”

“It’s normal that you don’t know. I also heard about it from a friend while chatting. A few years ago, the domestic economy was in a downturn, especially in real estate. Many real estate projects became abandoned, and there were still many places where no one was bidding. But last year, this person spent a large sum of money to take over the unfinished buildings and bidded on those wastelands.”

“When this year’s urban re-planning was announced, all prices on those lands increased. He sold a piece of land before, which was less than 100 million when he bought it but this year, he sold it for 1 billion.”

Many people’s faces changed: “Could he have inside information?”

“If there really was inside information would it have been left to him? None of the leading companies in the real estate industry bought the land, but he did. He has either foresight or luck.”

Now everyone looked at Shen Zhen with different expressions.

The young man in front of them was not just a simple rich second generation. He looked so outstanding, but who would have expected him to possess equally outstanding ability as well.

It was no exaggeration to call him a nouveau riche.

Feng Anyan asked Shen Zhen: “Having fun?”

Shen Zhen: “Somewhat, I met an acquaintance.”

Feng Anyan said strangely: “I didn’t invite anyone from this city except Brother Liu.”

Shen Zhen mouthed the name “Su Shiqing”.

Feng Anyan’s expression changed, pulled Shen Zhen aside, and whispered, “No way? Where did you see him?”

Shen Zhen: “Right here. He has entered the entertainment circle now. It seems to be your company? He has entered an idol group.”

Feng Anyan: “What’s the name of the group?”

Shen Zhen: “I don’t know either, I only know that there is a guy named Jefferson in the group, and the hair colors of the members are all different.”

Feng Anyan: “….That’s the same as not having said anything. Now that pretty boys are popular, they have to have colorful hair.”

Shen Zhen nodded, and he said, “Does your company want to co-produce an international movie?”

Feng Anyan smiled, quite proudly: “Yeah, it took me nearly a year to wrest the project over, and all the investment has already been in place. The main actors have all been decided, and I’m just waiting to make money.”

Shen Zhen: “Can I still introduce an extra into the cast?”

Feng Anyan: “Sure, it doesn’t matter if you insert one in, just a passer-by who has a line or two is fine.”

Shen Zhen nodded: “The one who is in the same group as Su Shiqing named Jefferson, with blond hair, don’t get it wrong.”

Feng Anyan’s expression was a little strange: “Are you okay? Su Shiqing is so annoying, yet you still want to help his group member?”

Shen Zhen shook his head: “He wants this opportunity himself, so I will give it to his group member. He likes to give favors, so I will help him out this time.”

Feng Anyan understood: “Just say that you are trying to annoy him.”

Shen Zhen: “It’s not to annoy him, it’s just that Jefferson looks a bit familiar.”

Not just familiar.

In his previous life, Jefferson was his coworker.

The two worked together on a construction site, but Jefferson wasn’t blond at that time, so he nearly didn’t recognize the other just now.

As for why Jefferson fell to such misfortunes, it had something to do with Su Shiqing.

In the previous life, Jefferson and Su Shiqing also knew each other from an idol group, and the group didn’t do very well, so they were taken to a party by their manager, in the hopes of attracting a financial backer. However, Jefferson was a straight man and it was out of no other choice that he chatted with Chu Haoyi briefly. And it was exactly because of this that he offended Su Shiqing.

When Su Shiqing felt aggrieved and threw a temper tantrum, once Chu Haoyi asked and found the reason, his heart ached.

Resulting in bad luck for Jefferson.

He could no longer be his little idol. Even though he was born in a well-to-do family, his father suddenly owed a huge amount of gambling debts, and his scandals also flooded the entire Internet practically overnight. Although he was originally not considered all that popular, he still managed to get by in the entertainment circle, but after this incident, he became extremely unlucky and couldn’t even find a job. He could only suffer misery together with Shen Zhen and work at a construction site.

At the construction site, he was the only one Shen Zhen could exchange a few words with.

At that time, his name was no longer Jefferson, going back to using his real name, Zhou Yu.

Now that everything had restarted over again, it was nothing to him to do the other a favor.

Feng Anyan said, “Which type do you like?”

Shen Zhen glanced at him: “You think I’m you?”

Feng Anyan rubbed his chin and smirked lasciviously: “Everyone has a love for beauty, I can understand you.”

Shen Zhen felt exasperation at Feng Anyan’s brain circuit, “You can think whatever you want.”

Feng Anyan: “It’s no problem to arrange a role. I’ll go back to the company and ask. The stage names of our company’s artists are all different. There shouldn’t be two Jeffersons.”

Shen Zhen: “Then I will trouble you.”

Where they couldn’t see, Su Shiqing was hiding behind a pillar watching Shen Zhen chatting with Feng Anyan.

Once upon a time, he was able to attend the banquets and parties that both Feng Anyan and Shen Zhen could be invited to, not as a small artist accompanying the guests, but as an equal to them. At that time, he was still Young Master Su, and no matter what the people who called him like that truly thought of him, but at least they still gave him face.

But now? He could only watch from a distance, not even qualified to say a word.

“What are you looking at?” A member of the group who was still angry said sarcastically, “You think you know him, but maybe he doesn’t even know you.”

“I heard from them just now that his name is Shen Zhen, and he is the boss of Huitong.”

“I just checked on the Internet, and his net worth is really impressive, at least tens of billions?”

Su Shiqing finally couldn’t bear it anymore and said: “I used to be friends with him, very good friends!”

“Then why is he a boss and a nouveau riche, while you’re still passing the days by with us? Without even any sign of debuting?”

“Yeah, after getting an opportunity, he even gave it to Jefferson.”

“Saying you gave the opportunity to Jefferson, don’t be ridiculous, are you so selfless?”

“I wanted to say it just now. If you had this idea, would Young Master Shen be silent for that long before speaking?”

Su Shiqing looked at them, his eyes red, and tears kept falling.

The group members who had originally disliked him rolled their eyes and said speechlessly: “Don’t cry, you always cry when you encounter problems, are we wrong? If we are wrong, you can just refute us.”

Su Shiqing bit his lower lip. He had lied wrongly once, and it didn’t matter if he lied a second time.

“I, I just got the opportunity for Jefferson. I, I hope that he will have a chance to succeed. In the group, Jefferson has always been the one to work the hardest. Do you dare to say that Jefferson is not working hard enough? His looks and condition are good, I just thought the chances of recommending him will be higher.”

“I have a very good relationship with Shen Zhen. Tell me what you want, and I will go to him when the time comes. He promised me this time, and he will do the same in the future.”

“Really?” The group members looked at Su Shiqing in disbelief, “You aren’t lying to us, are you?”

Su Shiqing carefully looked at the faces of the group members: “I never lie.”

The faces of the group members changed: “You should have said it earlier, we thought you only thought about yourself and Jefferson, sorry, we were a little emotional just now.”

However, some people said suspiciously: “Since you have such a good relationship with CEO Shen, then just go over and talk to him, and you can also get to know more people.”

You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e bl mu se . c o m )

“CEO Shen and CEO Feng have a very good relationship. If you go over now, you can even talk to CEO Feng.”

“That’s right, it’s even better to have a good relationship with CEO Feng, so go over quickly.”

“Go!”

Su Shiqing had no choice but to walk over if he didn’t want his lie to be revealed.
