The Mu family, a leading technology company, was overturned overnight. In the space of half a month, the Mu family held two funerals. Mu Nuanxi was arrested on suspicion of illegally purchasing prohibited explosives and intentionally attempting to injure others.
Because of the high level of attention, the judicial authorities convened the case as soon as possible after collecting all the information.
The Mu family hired the best lawyer in the entire G country, and there was a heated argument in court. In the end, Mu Nuanxi was sentenced to five years in prison. She bought the bomb, but the person who installed it was not Mu Nuanxi, and he was not directly related to her. In addition, the person who died was Nuan Xi's father, which also aroused the judge's sympathy.
Five years in prison was enough to atone for her sins.
Mushi announced that it would return the original energy chip to Dr. Wen's descendants, but the news did not specify whether the descendants were male or female.
This news really made everyone from all walks of life excited.
Autumn has arrived in the blink of an eye. When I woke up in the morning, it was hazy and the weather was getting colder. Wen Li casually put on a dark blue sweater when he went out. The soft wool was very close to the skin and made him feel warm.
In a city like Ningzhou, the temperature suddenly plummets once autumn enters. The four distinct seasons are the biggest feature here.
Xia Chen was wearing a jacket and a few scattered decorations on his hands. The young man's energetic aura hit his face.
"Boss." Xia Chen just stepped forward and called out, when the sound of car tires scraping the ground came from behind.
The two of them turned around, and saw a white sports car roaring towards them, stopping in front of them. The man who got out of the car wore brown sunglasses, blocking half of his face that was causing disaster to the country and the people.
Xia Chen's eyes were on the clothes he was wearing. Why was this sweater so similar to the one worn by the boss
"What are you doing here?" Wen Li looked at the man who walked in front of him.
The weather is quite gloomy today. Why would such a sick person suddenly appear for no reason
"Aren't you going to the cemetery? I'll accompany you." Fu Yuxiu looked at her.
Seeing her silence, the man raised his hand and touched her face, "Don't look at me like that. After all, I have met your grandfather."
Xia Chen returned to his car consciously, and this man appeared. The boss would not follow him there.
Looking at the two people standing side by side through the car window, I have to say that these two people are really a perfect match.
The white sports car roared out and left the hotel towards the cemetery. Wen Li went to the flower shop and bought two bouquets of flowers.
The cemetery where the Wen family is located is 200 kilometers away from Fangxi Town. Wen Yanxing was famous at that time, but after the news of his death, no one knew where he was buried.
It was Lei Yuan who made the decision to place his tomb in the cemetery where Wen Xuqian and his wife were. Over the years, except for Lei Yuan who often came to pay homage, Mu Kuiyuan also came over, and there was no one else.
As soon as the two got out of the car, it started to rain lightly in the sky. Fu Yuxiu took out a black umbrella and opened it to protect her.
The tombkeeper here had just returned from wiping all the tombstones when he met two people walking in at the door.
The old man was nearly sixty years old, dressed simply and carrying a small bucket in his hand. He had a smile on his face when he saw the two of them.
"I've never seen you before. Whose grave are you here to visit?"
Working in this place, every year during the Qingming Festival we welcome people to and from the tombstones. Regularly wiping the tombstones that have been left unattended is a daily necessity, so he knows all the relatives of the people buried here.
These two children had outstanding looks and postures that he had never seen before.
But there are no new graves in this place, they were all filled six years ago.
"Where is Wen Yanxing's tombstone?" Wen Li asked.
The old man became convinced, "You are here to see Dr. Wen."
He went back to the house and took out his umbrella, "I'll take you there."
The old man usually didn't see anyone in this place, but now he saw someone coming and started talking to the two of them.
"I have been working here for so many years, and there are only two people who come to pay homage to Dr. Wen every year. One is Mr. Lei, and the other seems to be named Mu. Mr. Lei is more diligent and comes here at least a dozen times a year. Some At that time, he would come two or three times a month. Mr. Mu always came during the Qingming Festival, and he usually asked me to help clean up the weeds near the tombstones. This is the first time I have seen young people come to see him." The old man led them among all the tombstones.
Wen Yanxing's grave has not been announced to the public and is well protected. Many scientific researchers who want to pay homage to the technology tycoon cannot find the location of the tombstone.
This was also his own intention back then. If he died, there would be no need to waste his life and money. The will also stated that he hoped to bury him in a place where no one knew.
Lei Yuan also implemented his last wish very well. This place has been quiet for so many years, and no one else will come to disturb them.
"This is it." The old man said very skillfully to the photo on the tombstone, "Dr. Wen, there are young people coming to see you."
The photo on the tombstone is of a young man, about thirty years old. Wen Yanxing is wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a lab coat.
The old man left to do his own business. The light rain fell heavily in the sky, and the rainwater fell along the edge of the umbrella.
Wen Li squatted down, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the photos on the tomb clean bit by bit, and placed the sunflower in his hand in front of the tomb.
The sound of rain hitting the umbrella cloth was very obvious. Wen Li kept looking straight at the photos on the tombstone. The memories of his childhood were always particularly clear.
The old man who would bring her gadgets to make her happy every time he came back from the laboratory was able to endure the huge pain of losing his son, plan a good future for her, endure the pain and inject her with drugs, and would rather watch the one he loved the most. The granddaughter has forgotten her and wants her to go to Mu's house.
"Don't look back, kid, live well..."
Wen Li can still remember his desperate eyes.
Perhaps Wen Yanxing at that time always felt that she could survive with a new identity, and even changed Lu Xue's genes so that she could not find out her life experience even if she checked DNA.
Unfortunately, the final result was not as he wished.
Fu Yuxiu held an umbrella for her, looked down at the girl who had squatted down in front of the tombstone, and stretched out his hand to touch the gray photo.
"I'm living a good life, and that may be enough for you." She spoke with a delicate voice.
Even if she was not a child of the Mu family, even if there were twists and turns along the way, she always carried Wen Yanxing's hope and survived.
"Everyone who has harmed you has gone down, and you have seen it." Wen Li looked at Wen Yanxing's photo.
At that time, they probably never thought about what would happen later.
Wen Xuqian and his wife were buried together. The person who presided over the funeral was also Wen Yanxing. There was not even a photo of the two of them on the tombstone, only two lines of words.
Wen Xuqian, Hua Yan.
They met in what year and got married. They died on the same day in the same month of the same year, and they had a daughter.
"For your parents to hide in a small place like Fangxi Town, the people who are chasing them must know who they are." Fu Yuxiu said.
Wen Li put the sunflowers on it, but to this day she has not been able to find any photos of Wen Xuqian and his wife.
The same goes for the photos of her childhood, as if they were deliberately trying to erase their traces in this world. She didn't even know her mother's name until today.
Hua Yan.
"Your father once made a medicine to treat infectious diseases in the Jiangnan area. It was also at that time that he became famous. However, he gradually disappeared twenty years ago. He did not do any research and did not announce any information to the outside world. Even today, no one Know whether this former genius is dead or alive." Fu Yuxiu told her the information he knew.
Wen Li also knew what he was talking about, and the Red Mansion's intelligence network could also collect this information.
In addition, there were rumors in the Imperial City that Wen Yanxing's daughter-in-law was a famous painter, and the artist's stage name was Yan Hua.
Hua Yan, Yan Hua.
These two names are so similar.
"Wen Li." A male voice came.
Wen Li turned around and saw Lei Yuan standing aside with a bouquet of flowers.
He came over and placed two bouquets of flowers in front of the two tombstones. He squatted down and took out the wine glasses from the small basket he had brought.
"This should be your first time to pay homage to them after you came back. I originally wanted to call you and bring you here, but I didn't expect you to come here yourself." Lei Yuan put the rice wine on the table.
At this moment, the rain was slowly about to stop. There was drizzle flying in the air, and the fine raindrops fell on the shoulders, disappearing into the fibers of the fabric.
"Your grandfather liked the rice wine produced in Jiangbei the most at that time. It was handmade. He would ask me to buy twenty kilograms of it at a time." Lei Yuan raised his head and smiled at Wen Li.
"Thank you for visiting them often."
Lei Yuan waved his hand, "This can be regarded as my atonement. I failed to predict the crisis in time, which caused Brother Wen to die in vain and made you wander for so many years. To be honest, my friend is of no help."
Wen Yanxing's death has always been a thorn in Lei Yuan's heart.
"I will find the murderer." Wen Li looked at Wen Xuqian's tombstone.
Lei Yuan shook his head and held Wen Li's hand, "Son, no one knows that Brother Wen's granddaughter is still alive. You can't do stupid things. Your parents came to Fangxi Town from the imperial capital to avoid disaster, but they still didn't. You were able to escape this devastating disaster, and now that you have finally survived, you can't do anything stupid."
After all, Wen Li is just a girl. Now that the crimes of the past are over, there is no need to pursue them anymore. Even if the murderer is not found, this child who finally survived cannot be allowed to die.
"Your grandfather didn't hand you over to me back then because he was afraid that others would find out about the relationship between him and me. The Mu family was already quite powerful at that time, and he and Mu Kuiyuan had little contact back then. To be sure, he would What you gave to Mu Kuiyuan is enough to prove how capable the other party is. Don't be stupid, kid." Lei Yuan looked anxious.
"I can't live with their blood on my back. The world I've been exposed to since I was a child is a hundred times crueler than this one. Tooth for tooth and blood for blood is the way to survive in this world. Since I already know that they were killed, then kill them." Their people must pay the price.”
If it hadn't been for that catastrophe, the people lying here would still be alive, and the culprit must be punished.
Lei Yuan was about to say something when he saw the man behind Wen Li raise his hand to close the umbrella, and then took out a handkerchief from his pocket to wipe Wen Li's palms that had just been wet by the rain.
Today, it has started to clear up.
"I see."
Lei Yuan's eyes fell on the imposing man. Even if he didn't say a word, the cold aura around him made it impossible to ignore his presence. Lei Yuan himself was a man, so of course he could tell the unbearable aura of the man in front of him. Where did his attitude and his natural domineering attitude come from.
This man is definitely not an ordinary person.
More importantly, he only had eyes for the little girl in front of him from beginning to end. Even when the rain was the heaviest just now, the umbrella in his hand was held above Wen Li's head, and not even a corner of her clothes got wet.
It can be seen that he takes good care of him. With such a person protecting him, Wen Li may not be the same as the person lying here. "If you want to know the truth of everything, you may be able to find it by going to the Imperial Capital." Lei Yuan looked at Wen Li, seeming to be reminded of a long-ago story, "That's where Brother Wen's story begins, and it's also where he became famous. .”
"He completed many important things in the Imperial Capital back then, and finally brought your family of three back here from the Imperial Capital."
The source of everything may be in the imperial capital.
The Imperial Capital is different from Ningzhou. The powers there are complicated. It is the richest place, but it is also the most dangerous. It is the center of politics and power in the entire G country. The only people who can gain a foothold there are not Ningzhou. People in Zhoucheng can compare.
If you really go there, be careful.
"Thank you." Wen Li looked at Lei Yuan and spoke sincerely.
Thank you for remembering my friend for so many years, and thank you for never forgetting my old friend through thousands of sailings.
"I didn't do anything." Lei Yuan lowered his head and smiled ashamedly.
"I am leaving."
Lei Yuan stood up straight with a smile on his face, "Go ahead."
The dark clouds in the distance have dissipated, and the sun shines through the thick clouds, clearing away too many clouds in the sky, revealing a clear blue sky.
Lei Yuan looked at the two people walking side by side. The man was holding an umbrella in one hand, and the other was holding her shoulders.
The sun shone in, and their shadows on the ground intertwined.
"Brother Wen, you have to protect this child."
Lei Yuan turned around, looked at the man with a bright smile on the tombstone and spoke.
No one knows what will happen in the future, so no one has a perfect plan to take that path, but as long as you have perseverance, you will definitely be able to reach the other side.
…
Fu Yuxiu sent the person back to the apartment, and when he got out of the car, he held the person's hand and didn't let go.
"When will we set off?"
Wen Li tried his best to save his wrapped palm and answered him, "It's none of your business."
The man raised his eyebrows, clasped her to his chest with his other hand, leaned on the front of the sports car behind him, and lowered his head to be intimate in her ear.
"I hugged her, touched her, and even slept on the same bed twice. Why, are you trying to be irresponsible?" There was a hint of joking in his words.
If this little thing really gets cold, he really doesn't bring any face to others. He has finally taken a step closer. If he retreats at this time, he will be directly thrown into the hell of eternal damnation.
"Let me go first." Wen Li struggled to break free.
There are people coming and going outside, so it's not so serious as to be violent.
The man lowered his head and kissed her cold face, "What if I let you run away?"
In short, it is impossible to let go easily.
"Master." An old male voice came, interrupting Fu Yuxiu's whisper beside Wen Li.
The man looked up and saw a man in a tuxedo standing not far away. He looked to be about sixty years old. He was wearing white gloves and his hair was neatly combed.
Fu Yuxiu held Wen Li's hand without letting go, his narrow phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, his relaxed and cheerful expression unchanged, and he looked lazily at the person opposite.
Feiran was standing not far away with a tense look on his face. He didn't expect that the people over there couldn't stand it any longer and Butler Xing came to him so quickly.
It seems that the old man can't wait any longer.
Butler Xing glanced at the little girl Fu Yuxiu was protecting in his arms. His years of training prevented him from showing surprise in front of so many people.
"Master, can we take a moment to talk? I have something I want to convey to you."
Wen Li looked at the old man who suddenly appeared. His uniform was neatly ironed and his hair was combed meticulously. He simply stood there with his hands and feet placed in the exact same position.
It can be seen that he must be a very organized person in his daily life.
Such an old man must have at least decades of experience as a housekeeper to be able to tell the difference at a glance.
Fu Yuxiu leaned over and whispered in Wen Li's ear, "Go back first. I'll come find you later. Don't run around."
Wen Li raised his eyes and saw Xia Chen standing at the door of the hotel, waving to her.
"Go." The man patted her waist and let go.
Xia Chen looked at Wen Li who was walking in front of him, and didn't bother to look at the man behind the boss.
"Boss, your aunt is here."
With so many things happening during this period, Jin Lewei also asked Wen Li, after all, Mu Kun and Mu Kuiyuan were both gone.
All she got was a word from Wen Li, telling her not to worry.
She has also known for a long time that Wen Li is not a child of the Mu family. This child has a cold nature. If someone with blood who has not been around her for so many years suddenly disappears, she may not have feelings for them, let alone those who are not related by blood. .
"I came here early in the morning and heard Xia Chen say that you went to visit the grave. Who were you going to see?" Jin Lewei pushed the almond cake she had ordered in front of her.
"Look at my grandpa and parents."
Wen Li's brief words gave Jin Lewei an explanation.
The latter didn't ask any more questions, and many things could be roughly deduced.
"Will the Mu family's affairs affect you?" Jin Lewei asked.
This was what she wanted to know most. Only the two Mu Chenyu brothers were left struggling to support the entire Mu family. Jin Lewei could more or less guess that so many things had happened in just two months. .
She was afraid that Wen Li's backlash would eventually affect the child's life.
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
After receiving Wen Li's affirmative answer, Jin Lewei also smiled and said, "That's right. With that man protecting you, I don't have to worry. He will take good care of you."
Wen Li took a sip of fruit milk and looked at Jin Lewei, "Aunt Wei, do you have anything else to ask me about?"
Jin Le nodded slightly, took out an invitation letter from his bag and handed it over. The invitation letter was made of handmade paper, the original color of the paper, without any bleaching process, and two green leaves were glued to the envelope.
If you smell it carefully, the invitation seems to have a faint medicinal fragrance.
"The Traditional Medicine Competition of Country G is about to begin. This is an invitation letter to the Jin family." Jin Le bit his lip slightly.
Traditional medicine is classified as ancient medicine in country G. The entire country can be said to be a big country of medicinal materials. Since ancient times, countless people have relied on these medicinal treasures to survive, and each family has derived different sects.
The Jin family is one of them. The Traditional Pharmacy Competition is held every five years, and only those who can get invitations are pharmacy masters from various provinces and cities in Country G, or famous doctors.
Jin Lewei's father, Jin Xianhua, participated in the traditional Chinese medicine competition in the early years and also achieved very good results.
There is a rule in the traditional medicine competition. As long as a family has won the top three good results in the competition, they will receive an invitation to continue competing in every competition. Although Jin Xianhua is dead, such a family has many apprentices. Apprentices can participate in competitions on behalf of their masters and pass on the legacy of the medical family.
"You also know that it has been eight years since my father passed away. I am sending this invitation letter to invite the Jin family's apprentices." Jin Lewei lowered his head.
Jin Xianhua died from the toxins he developed. Wen Li had already left the Jin family at that time. Jin Xianhua was obsessed with research and often used himself for experiments, but he also successfully unlocked the toxins himself.
But that one time, that one time alone, the poison was so intense that he died within half an hour.
Also because he died from the toxin he developed, there were a lot of unpleasant things said about Jin Xianhua's death.
"I want to represent the Jin family in the competition and try to win back my father's face, but I know my own level." Jin Lewei looked unwilling.
Wen Li looked at the big word "medicine" on the envelope. The competition was held in the imperial capital.
Just right.
"My father has only had one apprentice like you in his whole life, so Li Li, I would like to ask you to represent the Jin family in the competition, is it okay?" Jin Le said with a slight plea on his face.
From the time she brought Wen Li back to the Jin family until now, she had never thought of asking the child for any help, but she was really unwilling to do so.
Her father's reputation was outstanding, but he was said by those villains to be academically incompetent and killed her. How could she swallow this sigh of relief
Wen Li studied with Jin Xianhua for a period of time and showed considerable talent in medicine. Jin Xianhua also taught him everything he knew.
So she knew that this child was more powerful than her.
"Aunt Wei, I'll participate." Wen Li looked at the pleading in Jin Lewei's eyes and agreed.
"Thank you." Jin Lewei held her hand, "Thank you Li Li."
As long as Wen Li appears, she can at least reveal to the outside world that her Jin family has no heirs.
If he can win the crown, it will further prove that Jin Xianhua is not as poor in medical skills as rumored by the outside world.
"This is what I should do."
It was Jin Xianhua who taught her how to identify herbs and gave her the enlightenment in medicine. The old man took care of her growth like an elder and maintained a caring relationship.
Now what she can do for the Jin family is just such a small thing.
