Chapter 2, Cheng Shicheng Cheng Mu Yang (2)
She suddenly recalled the woman who had taken away the jade bracelet
There, compared to Yunnan, although both are rampant with darkness, they are unrelated, like two different worlds
This large family is like this; look at the boy in front of him, standing in a position that is of a higher generation, and he appears to be only about fifteen or sixteen years old
Such careful travel, this was her first time witnessing it
Even if there is a one in ten thousand chance of guessing, such a vehicle would still find it difficult to break through in an instant
As lunchtime approached, the ancestral rites finally came to a close. The Shen family arranged for all media personnel, both domestic and international, to have a meal at the old residence, prepared by a specially invited chef. Several individuals who have lived in Taizhou for many years were responsible for the dining arrangements for the media and local leaders.
The Shen family has been passed down for twenty-six generations in Jiangnan, standing strong for hundreds of years and naturally attracting considerable attention. This time, Mr. Shen is returning to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors for the first time in over twenty years, which has naturally drawn a significant amount of media coverage, turning this family matter into a spectacle
She thought he would come over, but unexpectedly, Cheng Mu Yang took the small path beside the rockery and quickly walked away.
There was no further discussion, Shen Jiaming smiled and changed the subject, "I remember that after you returned from Belgium, you could no longer travel abroad. Living in Yunnan for a long time, do you not find it quite dull?"
Well
She remembers that this Mercedes S600 Pullman Guard armored vehicle has long reached the NATO VR7 safety limit. Even if subjected to a simultaneous explosive attack from half a dozen M51 grenades, it would sustain no substantial damage
She is not a descendant of the Shen family, and on the day of the ancestral worship, she naturally became the most idle person.
The distance is quite appropriate; even if a vehicle is attacked, it will not implicate the other vehicles
The reunion of old friends is when true recognition occurs
She took it for granted
forty vehicles
She shook her head: "It won't be boring either. If you have the chance to go to Yunnan, I will take you to see a live-action 3D police and gangster shootout film"
In Belgium, her Russian roommate also complained that since the dissolution of the Soviet Union, Russia has long been dominated by organized crime. The economy controlled by organized crime has accounted for 20% to even 30% of the country's total economic value
Belgium, where I met during my studies in Belgium
She followed his words and thought carefully for a moment
"It shouldn't be too likely," he said, leaning slightly to one side, one hand resting on the back of the chair, while the other hand rested on his knee. "Here, each vehicle on the road maintains a distance of fifty meters, so they won't be too close to each other"
North and South handed the luggage to that person, took shelter under the umbrella, and boarded the vehicle in just a few steps
Thank you, "North and South lowered their heads to take off their damp shoes. After putting on slippers, they finally felt comfortable. When they looked at him again, they found that he was still looking at them. The eyes of the two were illuminated brightly by the light.
It was all learned later. The reason the Cheng family has been able to exist on the China-Russia border for so many years is due to their intelligence and their reclusive nature. Regardless of how the dynasties have changed in modern times, they have always remained outside the machinery of the state. You know, once the balance is disrupted, it leads to devastating repression. After all, the Cheng family are businesspeople, not rebels, so they would certainly not act in such a manner
At dawn, the ancestral worship has already begun
The Cheng family experienced a significant upheaval over this matter. Later, he appeared.
Now presenting chrysanthemums is Shen Qingqiu, who is running for the position of Minister of Finance in Mexico this year. I did not expect him to have such a low seniority.
Shen Jiaming looked at her solemnly: "I won't go; the one I fear the most is your brother, Nan Huai."
If someone wants to know which car Cheng Mu Yang is sitting in, the possibility is almost zero
"Socialite?" Shen Jiaming instinctively rubbed his index finger, which had almost lost flesh from being pecked by a macaw yesterday. The memory still brings excruciating pain. "Looking back three generations, there is hardly anyone worth mentioning. How can there be socialites?"
Approximately two years ago, the newly appointed deputy mayor of Moscow came to power and vigorously supported the gang he relied on, causing the Cheng family's business to shrink significantly. At that time, the most famous person in the Cheng family was not him, but his cousin Cheng Muyun. This individual had many commendable qualities, but he was somewhat impatient for quick results and preferred to use extreme measures, contemplating a direct assassination of the deputy mayor.
It is raining heavily? he asked her, his voice somewhat low
About ten minutes later, white headlights finally appeared in the distance
He was dressed in a simple casual outfit of a white shirt and black pants, his face illuminated by the yellow light, creating a striking outline, as if painted with bold strokes. The lighting was not very bright, which made the color of his eyes appear quite deep.
She found it amusing and regarded it as a form of entertainment
Both Nan and Bei consistently followed Shen Jiaming's side. Due to their striking appearance, they were captured by many cameras. With a small face, the corners of their eyes slightly raised, they often did not like to smile.
The only sound is that of the rain.
When it was pitch dark, she waited outside the old house's gate with her suitcase, waiting for someone to come and pick her up
"How did you come to know him www.hetushucomcom?" Shen Jiaming sat down on the wooden railing by the corridor, "Yunnan? Sichuan and Guizhou? Or Southern Tibet?"
Forty identical cars, maintaining a distance neither too close nor too far, quietly shift back one position every ten minutes, likely without the drivers themselves knowing which number they actually are.
She looked at him with unexpected expression. It seemed that he was taller and thinner than when she saw him a few days ago, yet his manner of walking had not changed at all. When they both looked over, Cheng Mu Yang had a smile on his face that was difficult to capture.
One after another, Mercedes S600 Pullman Guards passed by, all identical in style and color, the only difference being the license plates. She watched with great interest, initially counting the number of cars, but eventually lost track of which one was which. Ultimately, one vehicle detached from the convoy and came to a smooth stop in front of the bluestone steps
He chuckled and said, "Every ten minutes, the last vehicle in the convoy will accelerate to the front of the fleet"
Yes, absolutely.
Her first sentence was: "Do you have slippers?"
"She is not my girlfriend," there was a hint of regret in his voice, "she is the widow of one of my cousins"
She naturally understood his intentions and did not mind cooperating: "Is that socialite of yours trying to reconcile recently?"
But if someone pays attention, will they remember which vehicle you took
She intuitively guessed that the "friend" might be Cheng Mu Yang
It should be that the highway has been entered, with a monotonous light extending uninterruptedly to the farthest point of vision
In such a soil, no government official can completely dissociate themselves; it truly is a dark and corrupt nation
Shen Jiaming calculated the time: "So we haven't seen each other since then?"
Qiandao Lake. This time, there are approximately forty vehicles that have come.
The crowd observed from the ancestral hall, proceeded to the inner hall to offer incense, and finally walked along the ancestral tomb path, arriving at the tomb where they began to bow and offer incense in accordance with their lineage.
North and South fell silent, raising a middle finger, and shook it at Shen Jiaming: "I apologize, but if you trace back three generations, I come from a line of bandits." Shen Jiaming couldn't hold back and let out a scoff, gripping her middle finger: "Someone is watching you."
Cheng Mu Yang noticed that she no longer asked questions, and he comfortably leaned back in his seat, closing his eyes to rest.
Walking alongside someone so familiar, she felt no discomfort at all. Leaning against the seat, she pressed a mark onto the glass with her hand
The matters concerning the China-Russia border always evoke a sense of watching an old European or American film
Rows of white chrysanthemums, each person who approaches will bend down to add a plant
What next
It will take five to six hours to reach the place where we will stay tonight," he said, "the journey is somewhat long, and traveling by car will not be easy, so be prepared.
Whenever I occasionally talk to Shen Jiaming, I am always amused, and those who do not know us might genuinely think we are a perfect couple
"Really?" She pretended to tidy her hair, assisting the young master in his act, "Is this okay? Does it look good on camera? How come all those reporters followed us here?"
She listened with great enjoyment
Just when she thought they would never meet again, Mr. Shen suddenly informed her that there had been a change in his itinerary and that he would be returning to Taiwan by sea. The elderly gentleman spoke in a roundabout way, not making it very clear, only mentioning that he would stay in Taizhou for the donation ceremony and that a "friend" would accompany her on the journey ahead.
and a grave mistake
Nanbei cast him a disdainful glance
Shen Jiaming smiled, gently took her shoulder, and turned her body towards the southeast direction
However, this is still within the borders of China, so it is relatively safe
After three or four seconds, she suddenly burst into laughter
Through the clear handprint, the road outside the glass can be seen
The two reporters in front of her, unable to squeeze into the innermost position, simply put down their cameras and began to gossip in low voices
In the crowd of reporters mixed from the north and south, more than one hundred people were following the Shen family from a distance. Most of the media present today were invited by local governments for the sake of political achievements. However, on such occasions, the media is only allowed to take photos while accompanying the event and will never be permitted to conduct formal interviews
The rain is too heavy; even standing at the door to avoid it, one cannot escape the splashing droplets. The old house is not located in a densely populated area, and there are hardly any people moving about nearby, let alone any vehicles passing by
... ...
This person had already begun to frequently enter and exit her dormitory, classroom, and library several years ago. The two of them transitioned from being strangers to tentative acquaintances, and then to mutual familiarity and comfort over the course of several months
In matters of gossip, there are naturally both truths and falsehoods
Cheng Mu Yang opened the soundproof glass and asked the person in the front seat to pass him a pair of white slippers
Someone is approaching
Do you also know about the assassination of others
Where is your girlfriend
Cheng Mu Yang watched her from inside the car
However, if someone truly hears the conversation between the two individuals, they will undoubtedly realize their mistake
In the following days, Cheng Mu Yang did not appear again
She laughed and said, "Walking like this will cause a traffic jam, won't it?"
Where to? She looked through the glass at the convoy behind, How many vehicles do you have here in total?
"Come on, smile a little more beautifully," Shen Jiaming said, tilting his head and smiling neatly. "Tomorrow, the United Evening News will definitely feature your photo."
Someone jumped down from the passenger seat and opened an umbrella
