20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 331: Wake up suddenly and see my true face

Hu Xiaoyan's reminder made Jiang Lianheng instantly alert.

A dusty past event immediately appeared in my mind.

More than ten years ago, Mrs. Feng's living room was dark and dark, with vicious and terrifying eyes clearly shining out from her pair of dark little faces.

Looking back now, I feel like I have a light on my back!

That was the only time in Jiang Lianheng's life that he acted chivalrously.

When the road is rough, you will sacrifice yourself and forget yourself!

The results of it?

A stab in the back of the rescued is far more inspiring than the punishment of the perpetrator.

Since then, the gun in Jiang Lianheng's hand has never been stained with the blood of anyone else.

Even if the current plan is to rescue the students, in the final analysis, it is an expedient strategy to protect the reputation and interests of the Jiang family.

In fact, he didn't care about the life or death of these people, whether they were relatives or friends.

Of course, since these students have been on Miyata Ryuuji's list, they will not take the initiative to stab Jiang Lianheng in the back, but people's hearts are unpredictable and things are unpredictable. Who can say for sure?

What's more, there are more than a dozen mouths, and there is a traitor in the school. Even if he only tells his classmates inadvertently, once the news leaks out, the Jiang family will suffer disaster.

In the eyes of Miyata Ryuji, Jiang Lianheng will also change from "uncooperative" to "sworn enemy".

Hu Xiaoyan subconsciously glanced at the stairs and said quickly: "I'm just thinking about how to solve this matter from the root. Otherwise, the devils will keep sticking to us, over and over again, never ending. Son."

Hu Xiaoyan muttered: "It is not an option to continue like this. Even if this matter is solved, there will be other troubles in the future, one after another, endlessly, and we will always be led by the nose."

Every time the light came on again, his lips grew paler and his eyes grew hollower and darker.

The tablets of Jiang Chenghai and others were erratic and inexplicable under the candlelight.

He came to the small room at the corner of the first floor, took out the key, opened the door, lit a match, and lit the candle on the altar table.

He seemed to see fresh faces in this list, people who had no enmity or enmity against him.

Everyone shook their heads and smiled bitterly.

Jiang Lianheng repeated this meaningless action over and over again like a machine. He smoked five or six cigarettes in succession, making no sound and looking a little dull.

So, everyone got up and went back to their houses to disperse.

There were so many losing battles that victory almost became a delusion.

He fumbled back to sit on the sofa and turned on the small floor lamp at hand. The dim yellow warm light illuminated his face in half-darkness.

The floor lamp went out again, but this time it didn't come back on.

Gazing across Si Fengkou, everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.

There was deathly silence in the living room, and Jiang Lianheng sat quietly in the darkness for a long time.

Faced with a dilemma, everyone felt troubled.

Hu Xiaoyan said: "That's not what I was thinking about."

"Let's settle the immediate matter first!" Jiang Lianheng sighed, "Do you have any ideas?"

Every time the lights went out again, the list in front of him seemed to get closer to him.

"Pa" - the light goes out.

Hu Xiaoyan didn't seem to have any plans, and her eyes kept looking towards the second floor.

Jiang Lianheng thought for a moment and said helplessly: "Since I have no idea, I can only take the risk and try it."

"Three days." Jiang Lianheng replied shortly.

He knew very well that this idea was correct, but the question was how to implement it?

For some reason, the atmosphere suddenly became less serious.

Hu Xiaoyan shook her head.

Then, he stood up rustlingly, and the "dong-dong" sound of the soft-soled heels gradually faded away from the living room.

"Forget it, you go upstairs and take the kids." Jiang Lian waved his hand and said, "It's getting late. Beifeng will have to get up early to report for duty tomorrow, so you should go to bed early."

Hu Xiaoyan put the list back on the coffee table and asked, "How long does it take for Miyata Ryuji to give us a reply?"

"Dad, second uncle, third uncle, fourth uncle..."

"Pop" - the light turns on.

Although Miyata Ryuji will not do anything to Jiang Lianheng, since he does not cooperate, he is likely to support others to replace the Jiang family.

At this time, Zhao Zhengbei suddenly smiled and said jokingly: "It's actually simple. If we want to solve it at the root, wouldn't it be enough to drive the little devils out of the Northeast!"

Hearing this, Jiang Lianheng was startled.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Ya's cry came from upstairs.

"Then what are you thinking about?" Jiang Lianheng asked, "What are you going to eat tomorrow night?"

Jiang Ya's crying became louder and louder, which always affected Hu Xiaoyan's heart.

At the end of three days, silence is rejection.

"Snapped!"

The risk is too great and must be reconsidered.

Jiang Lian turned off the chandelier in the living room, and everything suddenly became dark.

The dried ink stains, and the red blood began to slowly ooze out between the lines...

Jiang Lianheng took out three sticks of fine incense from the offering table, placed them on the candle flame and ignited them. He immediately put them over his head, knelt on the futon and bowed three times. Then he stood up and placed the sticks of incense in the incense burner.

"Hey, what should I do?"

He asked the question on his own, even though he knew he would get no response.

"Have you ever encountered this kind of world, this kind of situation? If it were you, how would you handle it?"

There was deathly silence in the room, which lasted for a long time.

Jiang Lianheng suddenly snorted coldly and said to himself: "How about it, old men, are you a loser? You are still in the old world!"

Shao Qing, he smiled bitterly and shook his head, lowered his head and blew out the candles on the altar table. Just as he was about to open the door and leave, there seemed to be a sudden movement behind him——

"Impressed?"

Jiang Lianheng turned around sharply. Although he knew it was just an auditory hallucination, he still subconsciously replied -

"Dissatisfied!"

The familiar laughter of my father and uncles seemed to be heard in my ears again.

Jiang Lianheng couldn't help but be startled. Pictures from his childhood flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

He recalled how he was punished for being lazy when he was learning skills from several uncles after coming to Fengtian.

The fourth uncle, Jin Xiaoyi, beat him the most. His father, Jiang Chenghai, always smiled and asked him, "Son, are you convinced?" regardless of the reason.

Jiang Xiaodao raised his neck every time and twisted his mouth - "I don't accept it!"

So, Jiang Chenghai nodded happily and walked away without saying another word.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Lianheng recalled the scene when his father took him climbing the mountain, and Jiang Chenghai's figure walked in front of him——

Asking for money is just a means, don't really think of yourself as a beggar, you must not throw away your inner strength.

The images in my mind were shattered and reconstructed.

He seemed to be a bystander, standing with his hands down in Old Mrs. Feng's yard, Hook's body lying at his feet.

He saw Jiang Xiaodao standing at the door of the human animal room, pointing at the dirty Hu Xiaoyan, and arguing loudly with two young men with a red face.

"I want to save her!"

"You can't save her."

"I'm going to save her!"

Whose kid is this? How can he be so poor and ignorant, so sure of his own destiny, that he insists on accomplishing one thing?

Half of the incense ashes fell sadly.

Jiang Lianheng suddenly woke up, how could he become the virtuous person he is today?

Looking forward and backward, timid, worried about gains and losses, indecisive... When did this change begin? After overthrowing Zhou Yunfu? Maybe earlier, after killing the Bai family father and son? Even he couldn't explain it clearly.

The older you are in the world, the less courage you have!

Once you have worries, you will inevitably become wretched and careless, forgetting your true colors.

Jiang Lianheng is destined to never be able to love anyone to the end as he did in the past.

He has a family property that needs to be protected, and a wife, children, and children that need to be taken care of. But to kneel down and be a dog like this when a person lives for a breath of life and a Buddha fights for a stick of incense, it is not a man's style after all!

What should I do?

Jiang Lianheng raised his head and looked at the memorial tablets of his father and uncles.

The candles on the altar table have been extinguished, and in the darkness there are only three dark red light spots on the incense head floating in the sky, pointing at Jiang Chenghai, Li Tianwei and Sun Chengmo respectively...

Dark red light spots were reflected in his pupils. Jiang Lianheng frowned, as if he was gradually thinking of something.

Then, he suddenly turned around, turned on the lights in the corridor, and knocked on the doors of Zhang Zhengdong and others one by one.

Except for Zhao Zhengbei, the other three people walked out sleepily.

"Brother Dao, have you been awake all this time?"

Without saying a word, Jiang Lianheng directly ordered: "Xifeng, take the list on the coffee table and ask the gang of fans in your charge to find the addresses of those students as quickly as possible."

"Okay!" Li Zhengxi reacted the fastest and immediately took the order and left.

Wang Zhengnan looked around and asked tremblingly: "No... Brother Dao, are you really going to kill me?"

Jiang Lianheng did not explain much, but turned around and continued: "Dongfeng, contact Han Xinyuan, Zhong Yushan and Yuan Xinfa immediately and ask them to ask their brothers who worked in the factory before."

"Yeah!" Zhang Zhengdong responded.

"That's right!" Jiang Lianheng called him back again and said, "When you come back, remember to call Zhao Guoyan and Liu Yansheng and ask them to return to Fengtian immediately! At the latest before noon the day after tomorrow, there is no excuse. If you didn't arrive before noon, take the Ears come and see me!”

"Understood!"

Jiang Lianheng nodded and continued: "Nanfeng, prepare your horses!"

Wang Zhengnan responded and asked, "Brother Dao, where are you going?"

"Guangyuan Bank, branch in the north of the city, Su Wenqi."

"Okay!" Wang Zhengnan asked as he changed into clothes, "Brother Dao, what are your plans?"

Jiang Lianheng calmly raised three fingers.

"What three points?" Wang Zhengnan asked.

"We only have three days, and we don't have time to talk to you. Hurry up and prepare your horses!"

The few people acted independently. Wang Zhengnan harnessed the carriage and called two bodyguards to accompany him. After a while, they arrived at the north branch of Guangyuan Qianzhuang.

Jiang Lianheng walked to the door in a familiar way and banged the door several times.

Qian Boxun's voice soon came from the yard.

"Hey, come on, come on, Mr. Jiang, don't smash it, we still want this door!"

The courtyard door opened, and Jiang Lianheng asked suspiciously: "Old Qian, how did you know it was me?"

Qian Boxhun smiled awkwardly: "Uh... As you said, if it were anyone else, who would have the nerve to bang on someone's door so late at night?"

"Okay!" Jiang Lian stepped into the courtyard, "We are all old acquaintances, so don't be polite."

"That's that."

"Is Su Wenqi here? Are you sleeping? Wake him up. I have something to ask him!"
