Chapter 529
In Zheng Palace, Zhuo Yichen and Xie Yuchen were practicing calligraphy in their room. There was a water mirror floating next to the table, and sounds could be heard from it from time to time.
"Xiaohua! That's your name! You've had this problem since you were a kid!"
"Dad! Can you please give me some face in front of my brother?" Xie Yuchen said angrily.
A muffled laugh came from the water mirror: "Look at your brother's handwriting, and then look at your own poor handwriting!"
Zhuo Yichen leaned over to see the dog-crawling words his father mentioned for his brother, but his brother's entire body blocked his view. Zhuo Yichen regretted that he didn't see the dog-crawling words his brother said.
"Yuanbao! Practice your handwriting well! Don't laugh at your brother!" Xie Yuchen turned his head and glared at Zhuo Yichen who wanted to laugh at him.
Zhuo Yichen shrank his neck, sat back obediently, and continued to practice his calligraphy.
Xie Mansion
Ever since "Xie Yuchen" passed away and his coffin was transported back to the ancestral tomb in Shacheng, the Xie Mansion has been closed to visitors.
Hei Xia Zi lay in Xie Yuchen's bedroom every day, with Xie Yuchen's clothes piled on his body and in his hands, with his head buried deep in the clothes, as if by doing this, Xie Yuchen was still alive and still holding him.
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang were standing at the door of Xie Yuchen's room with food in their hands. They didn't know whether to go in or not.
Wu Xie, carrying the food box, quietly moved behind Fatty Wang and poked him in the waist, "Fatty, come in quickly!"
Fatty Wang turned around and glared at Wu Xie, "Why don't you go in? With Hei Ye's condition, he'll beat anyone who goes in!"
Wu Xie glanced at Fatty Wang's sturdy figure and said, "Don't worry, Fatty! With your physique, Hei Ye won't do anything to you!"
Fatty Wang was furious. "Nonsense! Even if I'm strong enough to resist a beating, I won't step forward to get beaten!"
Wu Xie looked at Hei Ye who hadn't had a drop of water for three days, "So what do you say we should do? Hei Ye hasn't had a drop of water for three days! We can't lose Xiao Hua and another companion at the same time!"
Fatty Wang felt that Wu Xie was right, but he couldn't let his brothers down like that. "Wu Xie, I admit you're right! But you can't push your brothers into the fire!"
Wu Xie could only desperately push Fatty Wang in from behind, saying as he pushed, "Hei Ye is immersed in sadness right now, he won't do anything to you!"
Fatty Wang tried hard to hold on and not move forward, but the ground was too slippery, so he could only watch himself getting closer and closer to Hei Xia Zi.
Fatty Wang mustered up the courage to stand beside the bed, and timidly reached out to touch Hei Xia Zi's back. "Hei Ye! Wu Xie and I brought some food over. You should at least eat something before going in!"
Wu Xie also whispered to comfort him: "Yes! Master Hei, if Xiaohua were still around and saw you refusing to eat or drink like this, how miserable would he be!"
Wu Xie and Fatty Wang looked at Hei Xia Zi, who reacted when he heard the word "Xiao Hua", as if he had found a switch.
Fatty Wang reluctantly found a clean corner on the bed that wasn't occupied by Hua'er Ye's clothes and sat down. "Hei Ye! You have to live well! If you die like this! Who will avenge Hua'er Ye?"
Wu Xie looked at Hei Xia Zi who had moved and said, adding fuel to the fire: "Hei Ye! Don't you want to avenge Xiao Hua? You just lie in bed like this, and the person who killed Xiao Hua is still alive. Who knows, they might even start celebrating because another obstacle in their plan has been removed!"
Hei Xia Zi finally crawled out from the pile of Xie Yuchen's clothes. It was the first time that Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi saw Hei Xia Zi without his sunglasses. His inorganic gray pupils and his once unchanging smile now looked a little eerie and terrifying.
"Of course I have to avenge Hua'er! Why did my Hua die alone, while they are still alive and well?"
There was a bloody violence on Hei Xia Zi's face that Wu Xie and Wang Pangzi had never seen before. Hei Xia Zi had always given them the impression of being cynical, as if nothing could affect him.
Of course, Wu Xie and Fatty Wang did not refute Hei Xia Zi. After all, Xie Yuchen's sudden death was a huge blow to them, but they always had to make plans for the living.
"Master Hei, now that we've made the decision, let's eat something first. We can discuss how to deal with those idiots who don't want to live later!"
Wu Xie handed the food in his hand to Hei Xia Zi. He grabbed the food from Wu Xie's hand and took every bite with great force, as if he was biting the flesh and blood of his enemies.
Fatty Wang looked at Hei Xia Zi, who was finally willing to eat, and felt relieved. "Hua Er Ye's identity is different. His sudden death is bound to set off a bloody storm. Even if we don't react immediately, the people behind Hua Er Ye and the actual leaders of our land will investigate thoroughly!"
Just as Fatty Wang had said, during the three days that Hei Xia Zi had refused to eat or drink, the entire capital was turned upside down. Not only were the Zhang and Xie families searching for the person who had killed Xie Yuchen, but even the government had sent a large number of people to search for him.
"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!"
In a low-key and luxurious office, a middle-aged man angrily threw the documents in his hand at the feet of the person standing below.
"Such a terrible thing happened right under our noses! If we don't handle it impartially, where will our dignity be? And how can we still talk about serving the people?"
A young man in a black jacket walked in. "Sir, there's news!"
The man's words finally calmed the furious middle-aged man a little, "Who is it?"
"Those two did it."
The middle-aged man was stunned after hearing this, but then he regained his composure. "No matter who he is, no matter what his identity is, as long as he dares to cause trouble on Dragon Country's territory, don't blame me for being rude!"
Young man: "I understand!"
The middle-aged man raised his hand to let the others take action first, leaving the young man who was about to leave behind. "Xiao Chen, do you really not understand why I would get so angry just because a small head of the Xie family died?"
Xiao Chen nodded with some embarrassment on his face.
The middle-aged man leaned back on the leather sofa. "Everyone envies immortality, but who has actually achieved it? Those people sacrificed their entire lives for such an illusory thing. Our older generation is a very clear-headed generation!"
A dark light flashed in Xiao Chen's eyes, "Isn't immortality something everyone dreams of?"
The cigarette in the middle-aged man's hand slowly covered his face. What Xiao Chen didn't see was the cold light in the man's eyes. "Xiao Chen, do you want to live forever?"
Xiao Chen suddenly came to his senses and broke out in a cold sweat. "The price of immortality is too high. I can't afford it!"
The middle-aged man smiled with satisfaction. "Immortality is just an abyss that tempts the desires in people's hearts. Once you step into the abyss, you can never leave! Serving the people is our purpose. As long as the people can be happy, then our goal will be achieved!"
When Xiao Chen was about to leave, the middle-aged man spoke again to persuade Xiao Chen to stay. "Xiao Chen, you must remember that behind Xie Yuchen are people we cannot touch. The benefits they bring to us are far greater than our personal immortality!"
Xiao Chen stood at the doorway, looking at the man shrouded in smoke. A phrase kept ringing in his ears, "Only when the Dragon Nation is strong and prosperous will no one dare to bully us! We must always remember the shame of the past! We can't let what happened a hundred years ago happen to us again!"
After Xiao Chen left the office, the man made a phone call and said, "Ask Minister Wang to come to my office."
Not long after the man hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door. A burly, righteous-looking man walked in. "Old Wang! I have a task for you!"
When Lao Wang heard there was a mission, he immediately stood up straight, raised his arms and was ready to work hard, "I guarantee to complete the mission!"
The man simply waved his hand. "This is a secret operation. We can't publicize it to some people."
Lao Wang then lowered his arm and sat down on the chair opposite the man. "What kind of secret mission is it that can't be known to anyone?"
"Do you remember we have a covert operations department?"
Minister Wang thought about it and said, "I seem to have some impression, but not much. What's going on? Is there something wrong with this department? How about I take some people and take him down?"
The man reached out and slapped Minister Wang on the head. "Why can't you change your banditry? You want to take everyone down with you? I think it's better to take everyone down with you!"
Minister Wang scratched his head in a daze. "Why are you being so secretive? You're asking me this! How would I know what's going on in your mind? I'm not the worm in your stomach! I'm not even the woman who sleeps in the same bed with you!"
"Bullshit! You are a big shot after all, why do you still speak and act so inappropriately!" The man was so angry that he blew his beard and glared after listening to Minister Wang's words.
After calming down, the man grabbed Minister Wang's ear and whispered a few words into his ear. As soon as he let go, Minister Wang was about to speak when the man covered his mouth.
"Shut up, idiot! This is a covert operation! If you let everyone in the entire office building know about this, I'll skin you alive!"
Minister Wang's mouth was tightly closed. The way he stroked his mouth with his hand indicated that his mouth was locked. No one knew about it, not even the women at home.
The man looked at Minister Wang who was showing off and asked him to leave with a headache.
The man stood in front of the French window in his office, looking up at the sky. "The current Dragon Kingdom was built by the older generation at the cost of their lives. I will never let their hard work go to waste! I will not allow those with ulterior motives to stir up trouble in Dragon Kingdom!"
