It was past 2 o'clock in the afternoon. After receiving a call, Ye Kaicheng took Xu Zuoyan, who was already too excited to sit still, out. At this time, Ye Kaicheng had changed into a black suit, and Xu Zuoyan was also pulled to change into a suit, but it was the same suit as Ye Kaicheng's bodyguard. Xu Zuoyan was also given a pair of sunglasses, and his outfit was consistent with Ye Kaicheng's bodyguard. The reason was to prevent Xu Zuoyan from being too conspicuous. Naturally, Xu Zuoyan and Ye Kaicheng used to be bodyguards.
Xu Zuoyan was sitting in the same car as Ye Kaicheng. In this car, besides the driver, there was another man whom he had never seen before.
The person who came with him this time was not Lu Heng, but a young man named A Qi. Looking at his lean body but with a destructive aura all over his body, Xu Zuoyan subconsciously kept a distance from A Qi.
I also knew that this was a person who was not on the same level as Lu Heng. Although Lu Heng, who wore glasses, was not a good person secretly, at least he looked polite in his outfit and looked polite in person. And this Aqi also wears glasses on his face, but he has a pair of black glasses, which makes him extremely handsome. Wearing a black vest on his lean body, the lines of his abdominal muscles can be faintly seen. The black trousers are tucked into leather short boots, which looks very smart. There are two earrings on his left ear, and there is a cross tattooed on his left arm, and there are some small words tattooed on the cross. Xu Zuoyan glanced at it secretly, but couldn't tell what it was, so he gave it up.
What he didn't know was that when he came here this time, Ye Kaicheng brought A Qi with him to protect his safety.
Here Xu Zuoyan was avoiding A Qi intentionally or unintentionally, but A Qi had no intention of avoiding him at all. When we first met, I looked at Xu Zuoyan for a while, as if I wanted to remember Xu Zuoyan's appearance in my mind. After a long time, he nodded to Xu Zuoyan.
Xu Zuoyan twitched his lips on the spot. Was this greeting a little late? Isn’t it actually somewhat unnecessary? But Xu Zuoyan didn't dare to say anything. Just listening to Aqi passing by him and pinching his fingers casually, there was a crackling sound. Xu Zuoyan felt that for the sake of his own bones, Aqi had to stay away.
Along the way, Ye Kaicheng told Xu Zuoyan some issues that required caution, and Xu Zuoyan nodded repeatedly. He also knew where he was going and who he was going to see. For the sake of his own life and not to delay Ye Kaicheng's retreat, he also knew that he needed to be cautious above curiosity.
As we approached the point, there were a few more roadblocks on the road. But when those people saw that it was Ye Kaicheng's car, although their faces were a little uneasy, they did not dare to have any objections and immediately let Ye Kaicheng's car in.
Xu Zuoyan took a look at the environment. This was a villa located halfway up the mountain. There were people guarding the villa in front of it, all dressed in plain clothes.
As soon as the car stopped, Xu Zuoyan got out of the car with A Qi. Xu Zuoyan walked to Ye Kaicheng's car door and opened the door for Ye Kaicheng. After all, he is a bodyguard now, so he has to do these things. Ye Kaicheng in the car glanced at him and then got out of the car.
There were quite a few bodyguards who came with Ye Kaicheng, but when he went in, Ye Kaicheng only brought a few with him, while the others were waiting outside, and Xu Zuoyan naturally followed Ye Kaicheng in.
In front of the mourning hall, there was a photo of an old man. Several people in mourning clothes were kneeling in front. Seeing Ye Kaicheng coming, someone gave Ye Kaicheng incense. Ye Kaicheng paid his respects and then walked towards the people in mourning clothes.
"My condolences, Mrs. Zhong." Ye Kaicheng walked up to a woman and said.
When he heard that the person was Mrs. Zhong whom he had talked about before, Xu Zuoyan couldn't help but look over curiously. I had heard Ye Kaicheng say before that this woman was very capable and could even take control of Zhong Shouhang's territory if there was no chaos down there. Xu Zuoyan had always been curious about what kind of woman she would be. When he saw it now, Xu Zuoyan was even more surprised. That Mrs. Zhong didn't look strong at all, she was petite, and she looked quite young. Although there were still some signs of age, she was well maintained. Compared to the Zhong Shouhang in the photo in the mourning hall, Zhong Shouhang was almost as big as Mrs. Zhong. A big round of age. Although she was wearing mourning clothes at the moment, it could still be seen that she was an elegant woman. Facing the current situation, she didn't look too uneasy. Apart from being a little sad, there was no look of panic on her face. Sure enough, as Ye Kaicheng said, she is not a simple woman.
Xu Zuoyan looked at the woman for a while, but fortunately he was wearing sunglasses, so others couldn't see the curiosity on his face, so it didn't seem too rude.
"Akai, you're here." With the help of the maid, Mrs. Zhong stood up and looked at Ye Kaicheng, her expression fluctuated a little, as if she had been waiting for Ye Kaicheng for a long time.
Xu Zuoyan can probably understand Mrs. Zhong's current mood. Judging from her enthusiasm for Ye Kaicheng, it seems that it is indeed what Ye Kaicheng said. She deliberately wants to choose Ye Kaicheng's side. After all, she knows Ye's father, so she feels more secure. .
"Yes." Ye Kaicheng faced Mrs. Zhong with a little respect for his elders, but he did not show any intimacy.
"Lao Zhong's illness has been recurring, and it is not convenient to tell the outside world, so I have kept it secret. I didn't expect that I couldn't hold on last night." Mrs. Zhong looked a little sad, feeling very sad about her husband's death. Although he was sad, he took the initiative to talk to Ye Kaicheng about Zhong Shouhang, and also expressed his attitude to Ye Kaicheng. Concealing Zhong Shouhang's condition was necessary. She didn't tell Ye Kaicheng because it was Zhong Shouhang's intention, not that she wanted to hide it from Ye Kaicheng, in order to get closer to Ye Kaicheng.
"Everyone has his or her own destiny. Don't be too sad, Mrs. Zhong. Mr. Zhong doesn't want to see you hurt because of his too much sadness. You still need to be in charge of the family." Ye Kaicheng held Mrs. Zhong's hand and led him Mrs. Zhong sat on a chair aside and comforted her softly.
"Well, at this time, it would be great if I could have a proud son to help me support me. It's a pity." Mrs. Zhong sighed, the corners of her eyes were red, and she held Ye Kaicheng's hand, which was also trembling slightly. , meaning something to say.
"Isn't it okay to have a daughter? Although Mrs. Zhong doesn't have a son, she at least has a well-behaved and sensible daughter, which is not bad at all." As soon as Mrs. Zhong finished speaking, someone answered at the door, and the voice sounded Feeling familiar, Xu Zuoyan immediately thought of Yao Tianlai.
Sure enough, the next moment, Yao Tian strode in, also wearing a black suit. The usual playful smile on his face had been put away at the right moment, but he didn't look too solemn. When he saw Xu Zuoyan next to Ye Kaicheng, he was slightly startled, but soon returned to normal. He just wondered why Ye Kaicheng brought this little guy with him.
"Mr. Yao is here too." Mrs. Zhong saw Yao Tian, stood up to greet him, and then sighed again: "My daughter is well-behaved and sensible, but it is a pity that she is a girl's family after all, and she is not able to help her father run the family."
"Mrs. Zhong is joking, women are no worse than men. Mrs. Zhong is a hero among women, so your daughter must be no worse." Yao Tian said with a smile.
But as soon as he said these words, several men next to him obviously looked a little sad, but Yao Tian didn't seem to feel it, and walked to burn incense in front of Zhong Shouhang's photo.
Mrs. Zhong's expression also froze for a moment, because although Yao Tian's words just now were clearly praising her abilities, they also pushed her to the edge of the crisis.
At this time, there were other subordinates of Zhong Shouhang present, all of them were ambitious people. Yao Tian praised Mrs. Zhong in front of them because he felt that none of the other subordinates of Zhong Shouhang could compare to a woman. She was the only woman in Zhong Shouhang's territory. Then you can manage it well. This made them all dissatisfied, but there was nothing they could do about it for the time being, so they indirectly transferred their grievances to Mrs. Zhong. Moreover, seeing Mrs. Zhong's attitude towards Ye Kaicheng just now made them even more uneasy. If Mrs. Zhong chose to move to Ye Kaicheng's territory, it would be even more difficult for them to seize the territory left by Zhong Shouhang. Therefore, Yao Tian's words have accelerated the fight for Zhong Shouhang's men in disguise. Only when you are in power can you have the right to speak and decide the direction of the territory Zhong Shouhang leaves behind.
As soon as Yao Tiancai came over after putting up the incense, there was another movement outside, and then Gao Lingyun came in.
Gao Lingyun's tall figure and arrogant personality brought pressure to everyone present as soon as he came in. And this pressure is actually not only because of Gao Lingyun, but also because of several people who came one after another.
Ye Kaicheng and Gao Lingyun are powerful candidates for this turf war, and they are also people who are taboo among Zhong Shouhang's subordinates, because any one of them can shake the entire territory left by Zhong Shouhang. As for Yao Tian, although he doesn't mean this, as long as he chooses a side between Ye Kaicheng or Gao Lingyun, it will strengthen the power of that side. What they are most worried about is that if Ye Kaicheng and Gao Lingyun cooperate, it will be difficult for them to get involved in the territory of City Z.
Now that the three of them are gathered together, they don't know what wave will be caused next, so they are all paying attention.
As for everyone's attitude, Ye Kaicheng and the others had obviously guessed it a long time ago, so today they separated and went alone one by one, just because they didn't want Zhong Shouhang's men to feel uneasy and anxious to have a fight with the three of them. In the end, although the territory of City Z can still be taken over, some price must be paid. However, Ye Kaicheng and the others felt that it was not necessary. First, it would be better to let them fight on their own instead of laboring, and it would not be too late to stop them later. Second, they also needed to investigate who dared to plot against the two of them, and who dared to attack them. It's not simple, and if they don't find it out, it will be a thorn in Ye Kaicheng and Gao Lingyun's side. Therefore, Ye Kaicheng and Gao Lingyun had a tacit understanding and showed an ambiguous attitude in front of everyone. In fact, it was just perfunctory.
Gao Lingyun went over to burn incense, and then walked towards Ye Kaicheng and the others.
Xu Zuoyan lowered his head subconsciously, but Gao Lingyun still saw Xu Zuoyan. When they saw the disguised Xu Zuoyan, Gao Lingyun and Yao Tian were both slightly surprised, but they also knew that this was not the time to greet Xu Zuoyan, so they pretended not to know him, walked over, and expressed condolences to Mrs. Zhong.
Mrs. Zhong also greeted Gao Lingyun, but her attitude was not as close as to Ye Kaicheng.
And Xu Zuoyan secretly glanced at Ye Kaicheng and the three of them, and couldn't help but said in his heart: Mrs. Zhong is really pitiful. She was targeted by these three people. Although she was still saying comforting words on the surface, in fact, she wished she could hurry up. She wanted to seize the territory left by her husband. Fortunately, Mrs. Zhong knew about it but still talked about it. She was indeed not an ordinary person.
Xu Zuoyan actually sympathized with Mrs. Zhong in his heart. After all, her husband had just died and she had to face such a situation. It must be very stressful.
Thinking of this, Xu Zuoyan looked towards Mrs. Zhong, but happened to see Mrs. Zhong raise her head and look towards him, and the two of them looked at each other.
