Wen Xi came to the basement with noodles. There were two guards at the entrance of the basement. When they saw Wen Xi coming, they all stood up straight.
"Second miss, is something wrong?"
Wen Xi looked at them, her voice was much colder than when she faced Chi Zhao just now, "I'm here to bring food to the second brother."
The two guards looked at each other.
In this depressing and cold house, Wen Xijun represents absolute authority, and everyone is afraid of him, so no one will do things that they know that Wen Xijun is not happy and insist on disobedience. Just like Wen Xin, even if she was too anxious, even if she knew that Wen Yu was locked in the basement, she would not dare to come and take a look without Wen Xijun's consent.
Therefore, when they heard Wen Xi say this, the two guards almost understood in their hearts that the second young lady was just a giver, and the person who really wanted the second young master to eat noodles must be the head of the house.
The two guards obediently stepped aside, and Wen Xi walked in with the noodle bowl.
The basement of Wen's house is very large, and there are many different rooms. Compared with the room upstairs, the place where Wen Yu is staying only has one less window. At first glance, it looks like an ordinary bedroom.
Almost every child of the Wen family has lived in this room, and when they make mistakes, Wen Xijun will let them live here. There is everything here, that is, there is no one, and there is no Internet or books. The surrounding walls are specially treated so that no movement from the outside world can be heard. The quiet atmosphere will make the people living here have a sense of panic that they have been abandoned by the world. .
A normal person can stay here for a day at most, and when every child is detained here, they have to live for a week before they can come out. Wen Xi has also lived here a few times, and at the beginning, she would beat like crazy The wall, crying and saying that she knew she was wrong, and later, she learned to have fun and pass the time by herself.
The last time she walked out of this room, she had already grabbed a piece of good meat on her body, but that time, she saw a satisfied smile on Wen Xijun's face. He looked like he saw It's like a perfect product made by yourself.
Wen Xi was too young at the time to understand why Wen Xijun showed such an expression. Now she is twelve years old. Children in Wen's family are generally precocious. Twelve years old here is equivalent to fifteen or sixteen years old outside. I almost figured it out.
Her father likes to watch her self-harm, because she is cruel and cold-blooded, and he lacks such a subordinate.
Wen Xijun's transformation plan is not over yet. Ever since she discovered this, Wen Xi has always noticed that her father has been showing her some images and books that should not appear in front of children, intentionally or not.
Wen Xijun wants to destroy Wen Xi's ability to empathize. He is consciously cultivating Wen Xi into a cold killer who can only be obedient but not sympathetic. His efforts are also effective. Now Wen Xi's hobby is not normal anymore. She likes to watch bloody movies, like to read books on the study of the human body, and she likes the pleasure of cutting the skin with her own hands, whether it is cutting her own, cutting animals, or cutting someone else's.
Wen Xi also understood that it was not good for her, but she couldn't control it and didn't know how to correct it, so she could only walk into the terrifying future that Wen Xijun planned for her step by step.
As soon as he stepped into this room, many bad memories came to his mind immediately. Wen Xi stood at the door and didn't go any further. Hearing the sound of the door opening, Wen Yu opened his eyes. The person is Wen Xi, he sits up.
"How did you come."
Wen Xi didn't have deep feelings for Wen Yu. The reason why she went to intercede with her brothers and sisters at night was because Wen Xin wanted her to go. In fact, she didn't care how long Wen Yu was detained.
In her thoughts, Wen Xijun would not do anything to their adopted sons and daughters. After all, everyone is useful, so no matter how unhappy Wen Xijun is, he will torture them mentally for a while, and when his anger subsides, the punishment will end.
So after seeing Wen Yu's eyes, Wen Xi was stunned, "...Your eyes?"
Wen Yu subconsciously touched the bandage wrapped around his left eye, and soon he put down his hand again, "It's okay."
Wen Xi was silent for a while, wondering if she believed Wen Yu's words, she walked to Wen Yu's side, handed him the noodle bowl, Wen Yu took it, just glanced at it, and then he frowned, "What did you do? "
Wen Xi shook her head.
"What did the eldest sister do?"
Wen Xi shook her head again.
The Wen family has chefs, each of whom is at the level of a top chef. Even the simplest bowl of noodles is exquisite. It wasn't done by Wen Xi, nor was it done by Wen Xin...
A trace of mockery flashed across Wen Yu's face.
In the end, Wen Yu didn't eat the bowl of noodles. When Wen Xi was about to leave, she asked Wen Yu, "Second brother, what kind of person do you think your father is?"
Wen Yu's eyes moved from Wen Xi's calf. He lay on the bed and slowly closed his eyes.
"You should ask Anian about this."
The next morning, Chi Zhao put on a suit and stood in front of the mirror, sighing in his heart while tying himself with a tie.
"I still have to go to the company, and I have to manage such a large group..."
[You have lived for hundreds of years, you have been a professor and an emperor, and now you are only being asked to manage a group, what’s so difficult about it?]
"Please, there is a saying that there is a specialization in the art profession, and the previous professions, didn't they all give me time and let me take over slowly, which one would let me directly manage. Also, I'm very strange, Wen Xijun, does he really suffer?"
[certainly.]
"...It's unscientific that such a powerful boss is actually shou."
The system is weird.
[What's the matter, can't the boss be accepted?]
"Have you ever seen a cold-blooded and ruthless boss who is worth tens of billions of dollars?"
[Then have you ever seen an attack with a height of 1.78 meters?]
Chi Zhao: "… "
Well, I haven't seen it.
The Wen family's children have never been to school. They have studied at home since they were young. Everyone has completed university courses before the age of sixteen. What kind of diploma they are willing to take after that is their own business.
When every child reaches the age of eighteen, they will leave the family and start helping Wen Xijun. The boss, Wen Lie, is now a member of the group. He is only 20 years old this year, and he is as good as the old fried dough sticks who have been in the workplace for many years. She should never go out; as for Wen Xin, Wen Xijun has been working hard to cultivate her into a decathlon wealthy daughter. When the time is right, she will be sent out to marry. Therefore, Wen Xin is still at home and continues to study. Occasionally go out and meet with celebrities.
Among the remaining children, the third child is the adult. Chi Zhao fell silent when he mentioned the third child's name.
Wen Xijun is really too perfunctory, how can he name his child so casually, poor third, fortunately he has not experienced group life, otherwise he will be laughed at by his classmates to death.
The third Wen Hu, a magical man, didn't think there was anything wrong with his name. He has been by Wen Xijun's side since he was an adult as an ordinary assistant. Wen Xijun originally planned to put him in a position similar to Wen Lie. After all, this child is very smart. From the IQ test, he is the most intelligent of all children. smart one.
Seeing that Chi Zhao was looking at him, Wen Hu raised his head, blinked his peach eyes lightly, and then showed a faint smile to Chi Zhao.
Chi Zhao: "… "
In the plot, the original owner has a total of two secret lovers, Wen Yu is one of them, the other is Wen Hu, Chi Zhao was silent, turned his eyes and looked at the eldest daughter: "From today, A Xin, you and me Go to the group together."
Wen Xin was eating with her head down and she couldn't help being stunned when she heard the words, but soon, she returned to her normal expression, nodded and said, "Okay, father."
Turning his gaze from Wen Xin back to Wen Hu, Chi Zhao said again, "Ah... third, you stay at home for now."
He didn't seem to notice the jam in Chi Zhao's words, Wen Hu looked at Chi Zhao, smiled again, and also had no opinion, "Okay, father."
As soon as he saw Wen Hu's peach blossom eyes, Chi Zhao felt that he was under a lot of pressure. Although the two had not had any relationship other than father and son so far, Chi Zhao still wanted to avoid suspicion.
…
The Wen family has a big business, and there is always a place where they can arrange a warm pot. In short, it is enough to transfer people away from themselves.
Chi Zhao didn't know how to manage a group at all. When he saw astronomical numbers, his head was about to explode, let alone dealing with a bunch of astronomical numbers. So, his plan was to bring Wen Xin into the group first, let her manage with Wen Lie, and overcome this moment.
Warm-hearted, kind-hearted and fair, not so many twists and turns, warm, smooth and capable, just complementary to each other. In addition, there have always been some little secrets between the two of them. Before, the two were very busy and had almost no time to get along. Now they will meet at work and after get off work. Whether they can develop anything depends on them.
After arranging the company's affairs, Chi Zhao picked up the napkin on the table, wiped his mouth, and then said calmly, "Let Ayu go back to sleep and treat him well. In two days, it will be A Nian's funeral. His second brother is always there."
No one dared to object to Wen Xijun's words, and no one dared to show obvious joy or anger in front of Wen Xijun. Everyone bowed their heads, not knowing where a reply came from, and then the restaurant was quiet again, even the tableware. The sound of the collision could not be heard.
Chi Zhao looked at the pile of heads in front of him and sighed again.
"I feel like I'm a battalion commander."
[The battalion commander in the army?]
"No, the camp commander who opened the murder factory."
system:"… "
When he arrived at the group, he gave all the work that could be delegated to the eldest son and eldest daughter. Chi Zhao thought that he could relax a lot, but it turned out that he was too naive.
Even though most of the work has been distributed, there is still a lot of things to do, and people are approaching him for entertainment almost every day, many of which he can't refuse. come over.
When he did this, he didn't think about anything, not even a single expression, which was very in line with Wen Xijun's original character, but because of his decisions, the group had already exploded.
Everyone is speculating about what Wen Xijun means. Is he going to start the official selection of the heir? All the grown-up young masters and young ladies came, but the second young master Wen Yu didn't come. Did something happen to him? It is said that Wen Xijun and the second son had a conflict. So this is true
Chi Zhao couldn't be too busy, he didn't have time to care about how the people below him were talking. After working with the group, when he got home, he still had to brush up on the protagonist's favor.
You can't really make the protagonist hate him for a lifetime, that's torture for the protagonist, and torture for Chi Zhao himself.
The balance in Chi Zhao's heart has changed, and the task is no longer the number one priority.
Except for the meeting when he first came, Chi Zhao never went to see the protagonist, and he didn't come to Wen Yu's room until the morning of the funeral.
Wen Yu had already changed his clothes, the black suit wrapped around his body, he sat silently in the room, the bandage on his head had not been removed, and he could not see the change in the wound.
But everyone knew that Wen Yu's eye could not recover. This is the price of disobeying Wen Xijun.
Seeing Wen Xijun walking in, Wen Yu raised his other intact eye, paused for a moment, then stood up, then lowered his head humbly.
Being able to bend and stretch is a good quality. Chi Zhao glanced at him admiringly, then walked over to him. He sat where Wen Yu had just sat, then raised his head and looked at the tall young man.
"Do you think I killed A Nian?"
Wen Yu replied calmly, "I don't think so."
Chi Zhao laughed, and there was no tone in his voice, "You came to me that day and asked me to give you an explanation. I didn't want to say it at the time, but thinking about it now, I should give you an explanation."
After a pause, Chi Zhao continued: "My explanation is that I didn't kill him, I gave him the task, and he didn't finish it, so he died."
Wen Yu raised his head abruptly, he was suppressing himself when Wen Xijun walked in, but he was young and vigorous, and a casual sentence could arouse his true thoughts.
The smile on Chi Zhao's face gradually subsided, he stood up, although he still needed to look up at the other party, but at least he didn't use it.
Moreover, because his expression was too calm, and Wen Yu's expression was too excited, Wen Yu lowered his head on the contrary.
"The task I gave A Nian, I also gave you when you were young. At that time, you were the same as A Nian. If you succeed, you will come back alive. If you fail, you will die there. Do you think I am cruel? Shouldn't I treat a child like this? But Wen's children grow up like this, you and your brothers and sisters are like this, and so do I. "
Chi Zhao lowered his eyes, his voice was as calm as ever, "Before adopting you, I asked each of you if you would like to come with me."
Awakening memories of some buried corners, Wen Yu's hands that were hanging by his side suddenly stiffened.
Chi Zhao raised his eyes, his eyes were calm, "At that time, each of you said that you were willing to follow me. This is the choice you made. And everyone should be responsible for the choice they made."
