Yan Jun sat on the chair, staring at the little fellow who was overjoyed. He held the pig"s feet in one hand and supported himself on the bed with the other, and jumped up and down on his tiptoes just like that, as if he was dancing.
It might have been daylight, but she didn"t notice the light overhead. The lights flickered on and off, alternating with his crouching movements.
"Okay, would you like some water?" Yan Jun brought the bottle to his mouth.
The little guy moved his head away and continued to gnaw on the meat. Maybe the skin of the pig"s feet was too tough, but he was still unable to break it.
Yan Jun was worried that he really bit into the meat, since it would cause indigestion if he ate it.
The little guy bit it twice, then changed its direction and bit it again.
Fortunately, this time he bit into a bit of meat. As he continued to eat with relish, he started to shake his head and tiptoe again. This time, he had a really good time.
Just then, Yan Jun noticed the light bulb that was flickering on the ceiling, and said: "Baby, let"s not jump, let"s stop jumping."
The little fellow was lifted up by her.
However, the lights still flashed on and off.
Yan Jun frowned, "Is it broken?"
"Whap." The little guy clapped his hands, and all the lamps were extinguished.
In the hall, Xiao Ye looked at the scene in front of him with disbelief.
Gu An Cheng also noticed this scene, and asked in shock, "Has your family returned to normal yet?"
"I"m going to the bathroom." Xiao Ye stood up and left the scene in a hurry, he was afraid that others would notice the clues and he had no choice but to leave early.
Old Lady Shen sat on the chair, his expression solemn, "You might not know why."
Seeing that the old lady had suddenly become so serious, Gu An Cheng could not help but straighten her back, and said: "Is there really something unclean here?"
The Old Lady Shen could not help but say, "You seem to believe in these stories of ghosts and G.o.ds."
Gu An Cheng held the water cup in both of his hands, feeling the strange atmosphere in the house, he had no choice but to believe it if he didn"t believe it.
"It"s not because of some dirty stuff. Don"t you feel that something is wrong with Little Treasure?" The old mistress had punctured this layer of paper.
Gu An Cheng subconsciously looked at the position on the second floor, "The child looks pretty good, what"s wrong with him?"
"Before, you were in a bad mood, so we didn"t want to provoke you, so we tried our best to avoid mentioning the word "child" in front of you. Now that you"ve almost recovered, I"ll tell you the truth."
"Could this have something to do with Little Treasure?"
Old Lady Shen nodded his head, "At first, we never thought that this matter was related to a newborn baby, but upon careful consideration, we realized that it really was only because of him."
"Ever since Little Treasure went home, something bad started happening in the family one after another."
"That"s why we just ignored it, so many things happened that n.o.body knew whether to laugh or cry."
Gu An Cheng covered his mouth and laughed, "But I still don"t really believe that Xiao Bao was the cause of the entire matter."
"He"s still young, so he might be unable to control himself. If he"s happy, he"ll laugh, if he"s unhappy, he"ll cry, and if he"s angered, this is the situation he"s in." Old Lady Shen glanced at the ceiling.
Gu An Cheng understood clearly, "Then did you manage to figure out the reason?"
"I had originally hoped that Shen Cheng Yi would give an answer, but now it seems that even he himself did not understand. Maybe once the child is older, the answer would naturally be clear."
Gu An Cheng drank a mouthful of water and nodded his head, "Since I can"t think of it, then I won"t think of it. As long as Little Treasure is healthy, then the house will be more weird."
"It"s just that this is a big matter. No matter what, we have to remain silent and try our best to not leak out any information."
"I know what you"re worried about. Back then, when Third Bro met with trouble, it was only because the news was leaked that caused the old men from the military to be worried about him. If this matter were to leak out, I"m afraid someone would try to take advantage of him."
"Mm, it"s good that you know it." Old Lady Shen stood up and walked into the living room, "It"s just that during this period of time, the servants were so frightened that they did not dare to act at night."
Gu An Cheng sat beside the old man, it was obvious how terrifying the light would be at night, she laughed and said, "But maybe we should think in a good way, in a child"s situation, it might not be our Shen family protecting him, but him protecting our Shen family."
"Your words have struck a deep chord in my heart. Children are destined to not be ordinary people. I"m afraid their future achievements will be difficult to predict."
It was hard to estimate!
Xiao Ye looked at the palm print in his hand. It was really hard to estimate his potential, could it be that he was the next hero who would summon the wind and rain without leaving a name?
An unprecedented pressure pressed down on Xiao Ye at the same time, he suddenly felt that the burden on his shoulders was no longer just a small house, but a life saving treasure. He wanted to use his own strength to pacify the entire world.
Yes, he wanted to use his ability to summon the wind and rain to make this world acknowledge the greatness of their Hua Nation. He wanted to conquer the entire world.
Hahaha, hahahaha, hahahahaha.
"What is that sound?" The Old Lady Shen heard the waves of ghost laughter and quickly stood up from the sofa.
Gu An Cheng noticed that the laughter came from the direction of the washroom and uncontrollably frowned. From the moment he returned home, this Xiao Ye had been talking nonstop.
Thinking of how he forced a smile to take care of her in the hospital, thinking of how he served her at home, that man who seemed so carefree and indeterminate, seemed to have grown up overnight.
Gu An Cheng walked to the bathroom and lightly knocked on the door.
When Xiao Ye heard the knock on the door, he couldn"t help but laugh out loud. He covered his face with his hands and caressed it to make himself look different from what he used to.
Gu An Cheng looked at the man in his line of sight and hugged him tightly without uttering a word. The books often said that not only were women p.r.o.ne to depression in this situation, even husbands that were overlooked by them were liable to get depressed as well. Under the pressure of their family, however, they would hide their cowardice, allowing themselves to look calm and collected.
Seeing that she took the initiative to throw herself into his arms, Xiao Ye gently touched the back of her head, "What happened to An Cheng?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to hug you."
This was the first time Xiao Ye took the initiative, and couldn"t help but hold her face and carefully stroke her face. If it wasn"t for the Old Lady Shen behind him, whose eyes were s.h.i.+ning brightly, he would have already given her a deep French kiss, letting her know his overbearing pa.s.sion.
Gu An Cheng lowered his eyes and laughed, "Don"t look at me with that kind of expression.
Xiao Ye heard the hidden meaning in her words, he bent down and whispered into her ear, "Your thoughts are also my thoughts."
"The madame is still watching us. Calm down." Gu An Cheng tidied up his clothes for him. "Didn"t you say we need to go to the military to deal with Chen Hao"s matter?"
"Yes, the Chen family suddenly requested to withdraw their case, I want to have something to do with the Jiang family."
"Even if you kill him, he deserves to die. He can be said to be acting on behalf of the heavens."
"That"s reasonable, but we can"t do that. After all, we are soldiers." Xiao Ye laughed.
"Yeah, so we really let him get away with it."
"I"ll come and pick you up after I"m done."
"No need —"
"No, I have a scar in my heart. I want you in my eyes at all times. Even if this is the Shen family, very safe, only when you are in my eyes will you be safe."
Gu An Cheng shyly lowered her head, "The Old Mistress will hear it."
"I am speaking from the bottom of my heart. I am not afraid of being criticized."
"The madame will laugh at us." Gu An Cheng tied his tie, and looked at his gradually enlarging appearance. Standing on tiptoe, she kissed him on the lips.
"Cough, cough." The Old Lady Shen could not watch any longer, and said, "Looks like I"m the only lonely old man left. I"m old, it"s time for me to bury myself in the ground and rest."
Gu An Cheng lightly tugged on Old Lady Shen"s arm, "Sis, you"re not old anymore, you"re even more dignified now. We average people can"t compare to you, the elegance on your body is like dozens of years of acc.u.mulation.
Old Lady Shen pointed to her forehead, "Alright, stop making fun of an old woman like me."
The hot sunlight fell on the road. When the breeze blew, it caused the fine sand to fly into the air.
A jeep drove into the city. In the solemn hall of the military council, several highly respected military leaders were sitting.
Xiao Yao looked at the several retired leaders that Old Master Chen had invited in with a stern face.
Rather than calling for reconciliation, they were prepared to use the military to pressure them to confess and convict.
Old Man Chen opened his eyes and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already 1.50 p.m., and there were still ten minutes according to the appointed time.
The Jiang family"s old man, Jiang Hong, personally led Jiang Si Cheng into the hall.
Jiang Si Cheng sat at the last seat timidly, his entire body uncontrollably shaking in nervousness.
"Jiang Si Cheng, you came at the right time. Why did you go back on your words?" Old Man Chen reprimanded him harshly.
"The reason why I brought him here today is to clarify this matter. My family"s Jiang Si Cheng did not see everything that happened that day very clearly, and the video was also taken by the nanny. The nanny is currently missing, and he does not know the cause and effect of this matter.
"Perjury?" The Chen family"s old patriarch laughed coldly, "I"m afraid someone is pressuring him to the point where he doesn"t dare to appear in court."
Jiang Hong didn"t say anything else. He just picked up the teacup and took a sip.
The large hall instantly went silent.
Just as Xiao Ye arrived at the army headquarters, he saw a person walking towards him.
Shen Cheng Feng nodded, "I brought you a pleasant surprise."
Xiao Ye was flabbergasted, and before he could even react, he saw a lady hiding behind him while trembling in fear.
Shen Cheng Feng pointed to the meeting room that was tightly shut, "I really look forward to the reversal of this whole matter."
Xiao Ye pushed open the main door of the conference room, and over ten pairs of eyes landed on his body.
When the Chen family"s old patriarch saw him, he stood up angrily, "Xiao Ye, don"t think that I won"t be able to do anything to you without Jiang Si Cheng"s proof. I will say this today, although my Chen family is not as powerful as your Xiao family, we are not people who are easily bullied."
Xiao Ye"s tone was calm. "Old gramps, don"t get angry. I know that you want to seek justice for Chen Hao, but don"t you think that this justice of yours is the wrong person?"
Old Man Chen smashed down the teacup. "Chen Hao is still lying in the funeral parlor, and you still dare to tell me that you didn"t beat him to death?"
"Then I"ll have to ask Young Master Jiang Jiang Si Cheng." Xiao Ye"s gaze landed on a man who was s.h.i.+vering in the corner.
Jiang Hong glanced at him, "Xiao Ye, Jiang Si Cheng is no longer a witness, so there"s no need to pull him into the water."
"No, old master, I want to prove my innocence. I can only ask young master Jiang about the process of his death. He"s the only one who knows about this."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Hong questioned.
"Young master Jiang, are you still not telling the truth?" Xiao Ye walked forward, and gently tapped the table with his fingertips.
Jiang Si Cheng calmed his restless mind, and shook his head, "I don"t know what you"re talking about. I didn"t see anything that day, are you satisfied?"
"Not satisfied." The corner of Xiao Ye"s mouth raised slightly, "You kept saying that that video was taken by your nanny?"
Jiang Si Cheng did not answer.
"Then I"ll have to ask this nanny about the whole development."
Before Xiao Ye could finish speaking, the closed doors were pushed open from the outside.
All of their gazes landed on Shen Cheng Feng"s body, and then they saw him leading a lady into the conference hall.
It was the first time that the girl had seen such a scene. She was so scared that she didn"t know what to do.
After Jiang Si Cheng saw the woman hiding behind Shen Cheng Feng, the expression on his face that he had been trying so hard to control disappeared in an instant.
Jiang Hong noticed his subtle changes and a bad premonition arose in his heart.
Was this guy hiding something from him?
No one could react to the sudden turn of events.
Xiao Yao stood up, and asked suspiciously, "Who is this lady?"
Xiao Ye stepped forward, "Little gongzi Jiang should be very clear about this."
Jiang Si Cheng did not reply, his head lowered. He did not expect this woman to still be alive.
Shen Cheng Feng turned around and looked at the woman, "Tell me everything you want to say."
The housemaid timidly looked at Jiang Si Cheng who did not even look at her, her two hands were tightly clasped together, and she said, "I am Young Master Jiang"s nanny."
Old Man Chen stood up excitedly, "You were the one who took that video?"
"No, not me." The nanny shook her head, her voice was clearly filled with fear, she raised her finger and pointed at Jiang Si Cheng, and continued, "It was shot by Young Master. That day, when he was standing in front of the window, he saw this mister beat up Young Master Chen."
"Yes, it was Xiao Ye who killed my grandson. Xiao Ye, you have nothing to say now, right?" Old Man Chen gritted his teeth as he walked over.
The nanny shook her head again, "At that time, I clearly saw that when this mister left, young master Chen was still alive."
"What do you mean?" Old Master Chen questioned.
The nanny lowered her head. Her teeth were slightly trembling. Her head was also shaking from the pressure. Her entire body was trembling.
"Say something." Old Man Chen roared.
"Whap." Jiang Hong realized that something was wrong and slammed the table. "What is the value of a nanny"s words? She was brought here by Shen Cheng Feng, so of course she would speak up for them. "
"No matter if what she said was true or false, we still have to give her a chance to say it in its entirety." Xiao Yao interrupted everyone"s words.
Jiang Hong snorted coldly, "For this kind of occasion, our Jiang Family does not need to partic.i.p.ate. Jiang Si Cheng, will you follow me?"
Jiang Si Cheng stood up in a hurry.
"You can leave, but not Jiang Si Cheng." Shen Cheng Feng said.
"Stop talking, tell me, what happened?" The Chen family"s old patriarch stood in front of the nanny, staring at her without blinking, as if he was telling her that if she lied, he would definitely be the first to kill her.
"That day, after Mister Xiao left, young master, young master went out."
"Yes, I did go out, I went to see if Chen Hao was alright. When I went out, he was already dead and only had one breath left."
The nanny panicked, "No, I saw it with my own eyes. It was you who kicked away Master Chen and then punched him. Afterwards, I saw Master Chen spitting out large mouthfuls of blood."
"You"re lying, you"re lying! What exactly did they give you to slander me like that?" Come over here, I want to ask you something. I have been treating you well for so many years, how can you slander me like this? " Jiang Si Cheng lost his cool and rushed forward.
Xiao Ye quickly knocked him down to the ground with one punch.
The nurse"s eyes reddened, "I really didn"t lie. When I saw that young master Chen had died, I was extremely scared. I was afraid that young master would kill me too, so I didn"t even pack my things and ran out."
"You"re talking nonsense, you"re talking nonsense. She"s talking nonsense, you don"t need to listen, you don"t need to listen. How could I kill Chen Hao due to my relations.h.i.+p with him? Am I insane?" Jiang Si Cheng looked at the people around him in fear, and then he saw the doubt in their eyes.
The nanny hid far away, "I hid after the incident, I was afraid of setting the fire on myself, I was more afraid of dying without knowing the truth, but what I said was all true, that day when young master Chen came to find the young master, they even had a fight, it was very loud, I was in the kitchen, I didn"t hear it clearly, I only heard one sentence, it seemed like young master was the one who instigated young master Chen to kill people and set fire to something."
