his mermaid

"That's my father." Yuhan explained to Yueguo.

Tombstones are made of a stone called white marble.

When the monument was originally erected, black and white photos were used, and the tombstone was not in this cemetery.But now the portrait on the tombstone was updated to color a few years ago, and at the same time moved to this wider lawn, so that the husband and wife can be buried together.

The name already engraved on the tombstone: Father Huang Gongyuren, is Yuhan's father, and he looks very young in the photo.

"I only lived with him for a few years. After he remarried with his mother, he passed away due to an accident. He was only in his early thirties. It is said that it was meningitis. Before I had this daughter, I had already suffered from it. illness, but has not been treated well." Yuhan smiled helplessly.

"Now that I think they can be together, I don't feel so sad."

"What was your father's job before?"

"It's the bodyguard of the Shu family, that is, brother Yaochen's grandfather. I have never met that grandfather. Before his death, the grandfather seemed to disagree with my mother's remarriage. After all, his status is not a good match."

She added: "It's not easy to be buried together today."

When the funeral staff arranged, they had been waiting by the side, including those who came to attend the funeral. At least a thousand people came, and the vehicles that drove in were blocked until the entrance of the cemetery.Yu Han obviously didn't notify so many people, but the company's people who came here spontaneously accounted for half of them.Fortunately, the cemetery they selected is relatively remote, otherwise there will be traffic jams on the occasion of the New Year.

Although the chairman's age is not considered to be of high morals and prestige, there are quite a few people who cry for her, and there are many employees who are about the same age as Shulan.

Yue Guo slid the wheelchair forward and put down a bouquet.

The people who came to worship one after another also stood by the grass garden. According to the etiquette, everyone should wear white flowers on their chests. If there is no one, Yuhan will walk over and hand him one. He is obviously tired these days. She didn't look tired at all.

The crowd has gradually reached the end.

Can today end this?Yuhan was distracted for a while, and then she walked over to her husband without a white flower on his chest, so she had to brace herself to face it.

"……uncle?"

Yueguo tugged at the hem of her clothes, which made her wake up suddenly. It turned out that it was not someone else who came forward to attend the funeral.

"Jiang Dewen!" After Yuhan regained consciousness, her face instantly twisted together, "What are you doing here?"

Although he didn't wear white flowers, Jiang Dewen deliberately wore a black suit. He was slender.

Behind him stood two bodyguards wearing sunglasses.

"What's wrong? Can't I come and see this poor ex-wife. Just like what the pastor said, I'm here to bless her and hope she rests in peace."

"yes……"

Jiang Dewen seemed to be looking for Yaochen, and soon found that he was continuing to talk with the pastor. When he noticed Jiang Dewen appeared in the cemetery, Yaochen frowned and walked towards them.

Without any intention of exchanging pleasantries, Yaochen said bluntly:

"You sent someone to do the rear-end car accident that day, right?"

"I just came to the funeral, car accident?"

From Jiang Dewen's sly expression, Yaochen could tell that he must have something to do with this matter.

"You have done so many bad things before, do you think we have all forgotten? Why did you come to the funeral? You are here to find fault!" Yuhan was emotional, and seeing the tall bodyguard behind Jiang Dewen, there was another As a foreigner, she dared not act rashly.

"Hire Chu Rui and Lin Yingwen, and then murder Gao Yuehui and Ou Che. In order to cover up your criminal plan, you can kill anyone who hinders you at all costs."

"Being a man requires evidence, Yaochen. You doubt me for no reason, and I'm your father. Isn't it a bit unfair?"

"We will continue to investigate until we have evidence."

"Oh, then I should support you." Jiang Dewen pouted, "Hey, how is your investigation going? Is there no progress and no evidence?"

"So you admit that you did it?" Yaochen raised his eyebrows.

"I didn't say that."

As soon as Jiang Dewen shrugged, Yuhan sneered: "Don't get carried away. Even children know that evil will be rewarded with evil, and you will definitely get retribution for your bad deeds."

"It seems that I am not the real perpetrator, Miss Huang Yuhan."

"What did you say?"

"Don't pay attention to him." Yaochen pulled back Yuhan's wrist.

He seemed to understand the meaning of Jiang Dewen's words, but he really didn't want to speculate in that direction, and he didn't want to get too entangled in the grievances of the previous generation.

After Jiang Dewen turned around, he walked away slowly.It seems that he just left after a visit.

What he said is not wrong, there is currently no direct evidence against him.

The police only brushed it off for trivial pranks.The substantive evidence that can deal with Jiang Dewen is still blank.

After the death of the chairman, the atmosphere in the company was depressed overnight.The members of the board of directors decided to lay off staff after Yaochen went to the London branch, and Yaochen was powerless to oppose their decision.Before Shu Lan's death, some of the company's shares were already being operated by other high-level executives.In order to deal with various matters and deal with the reporters who came to interview, the staff at the reception desk were already too busy.

After returning home after the funeral, Yaochen came up with an idea.

"I have something to discuss with you."

"what?"

"I want to invite your mother to come to S City to meet you."

"Why?" Yue Guo opened her mouth in surprise, "She isn't..."

"It's not about money." Yaochen also interrupted him to explain, "I just want to ask your opinion."

"I don't know...then you didn't contact my mom? Do you know what she's doing?"

"I asked someone to investigate, and she used the money to buy a townhouse in City H."

"villa?"

"And, she now has a job as a cashier."

City H is a quiet small town next to City S. It was originally an inconspicuous village and town, and the real estate industry has only emerged in the past few years.Housing prices are cheap, and the tourism industry has also opened up, which is suitable for retirement in the past. Shulan also bought real estate there, and also went there for a short vacation.

Lin Yalei has reached the late stage of middle age, buying a house is not uncommon, let alone a windfall.But she is still working, maybe there is not much money left in her hand.

"Aren't you angry?" Yue Guo blinked in surprise.

"How can you be angry? My decision was reckless before. I should invite her to meet you. She is your only relative in the world."

"Thank you, Yaochen."

He was so excited that his heart beat rapidly.

Afterwards, Lin Yalei was personally invited by Yaochen, bought an economy class air ticket for the day, came to S City, and stayed in the hotel booked by Yaochen.

At first she was very puzzled about the relationship between Yaochen and Yueguo, what is his purpose?

Not only did he have to take care of Yue Guo's life, but he also had to support her as an elder.After thinking about it, she guessed that they might be gay.No wonder Mr. Jiang took Luo Yueguo by his side and helped her so much. Even though he sent her away in the name of expulsion, he was probably afraid that she would harass them.In any case, her prosperous life later on was unmatched in the first half of her life.

In the afternoon of the next day, they met in the lobby of the hotel where Lin Yalei lived. She put on a little makeup and changed into new clothes that she hadn't worn before.

Yue Guo didn't call her mother, which relieved her a lot of embarrassment.After all, the mother and son hadn't seen each other for too long, and the quarrel was so stiff before, it was normal for him to refuse to recognize her.Before she came last night, she had a phone call with Yue Guo, and she was relieved to learn that he was in good health.Moreover, I heard from Yueguo that Jiang Yaochen's mother had passed away recently, so it might be associated with Yueguo, so he hoped that Yueguo could meet his mother.

"Do you want to go to the movies?" This was the first sentence when we met, Yueguo was very friendly.

Jiang Yaochen parked the car in the hotel's garage and quickly entered the lobby.

After seeing him, Lin Yalei shook her head:

"No, I'm not suitable for watching movies that you young people like. You decide."

"Then let's go to the mall. Do you usually like to go shopping?"

"Okay, let's go to the mall." Lin Yalei's tone was apprehensive, "Mr. Jiang also agrees?"

"Okay, what do you want to buy?"

"If you don't buy anything, just go and have a look." Yue Guo shook his head.

They walked to the nearby commercial street. The shopping mall was dense and the entertainment facilities were complete, but there were many young people around.

In order to buy some electronic products, Yaochen will stop at some stores to choose.He left Yueguo's wheelchair, and Yueguo turned to Lin Yalei and said, "Try pushing."

She pushed the wheelchair and walked around the spot twice.

"This wheelchair is still very light. It's not as heavy as it looks. It feels natural when I push it."

"Hmm...it is said to be made of a new type of material."

"In addition to the wheelchair, do you still use crutches?"

"Occasionally, I've been able to walk on foot recently."

"on foot?"

"I had a prosthesis installed. But that one is not very good, and I will need a new one in the future."

"Are you working now?"

"Not yet."

"Oh...it's hard to find a job now, come on." Lin Yalei nodded, she wanted to call Yue Guo's name, but felt that the time had stopped for too long, so she didn't do it.

Unexpectedly, she left Yueguo for money, Yueguo was taken care of so well, it was not at all the tragic state after seeing him in the hospital after the car accident, he was more energetic and full of vigor than before.She quietly wiped away tears behind Yue Guo.

After walking for a while in the commercial street, Lin Yalei asked:

"Is there anything you want to buy?"

"No." Yue Guo also looked around, but couldn't think of any needs.

"Oh……"

Almost Yaochen was thinking about shopping.He took the initiative to enter a pet store, and Lin Yalei had no choice but to push Yueguo's wheelchair behind him.After she pushed for a certain distance, she felt that she and Yue Guo were a bit like mother and child.

Yaochen chose a few things in the store and put them in the basket: "You said you wanted to buy this last time, and it happens to be here."

"It's so cute." Yue Guo checked the contents of the basket. They were all small dolls made of cotton and linen, which would make noise when pinched, and some rolling balls.

But seeing this, Lin Yalei was a little confused.

"What is this for?"

"It's a toy for pet dogs."

"Do you have a dog at home?"

"Um……"

"What kind of dog?"

"Schnauzer."

"well."

"That's it." Yue Guo pointed to the dog food shelf, which had special dog food for Schnauzers.Seeing the picture on the bag, Lin Yalei understood what kind of dog it was.

After shopping around, they went directly to the tea restaurant upstairs in the last shopping mall.

Regardless of the past, Yueguo handed the menu to Lin Yalei to order first. At this time, she felt that this was a kind of etiquette, and Yueguo still did not regard her as a mother.

But this time meeting, she was really happy.

Yaochen and Yueguo sat in front of her.

"Auntie, is the living expenses sent to you for the past six months enough?"

"Enough is enough, of course it is enough. I still took a large part of it and went to buy funds." Lin Yalei nodded. Now that she has taken advantage of it, she still hasn't paid the money. She is afraid that Jiang Yaochen will raise harsh conditions again, so today she I am going to follow them and never make any demands, "There is also insurance, I have never bought insurance in my previous life... I will fill in the name of Yue Guo as the beneficiary. If I die..."

"Stop talking about these topics." Yue Guo frowned.

"I forgot, I should buy insurance for you." Yaochen squeezed his hand under the table, "Let's decide after we go abroad."

"Are you all going abroad?"

"No...not." The corners of Yue Guo's eyes twitched.

Ignoring Yue Guo's objection, Yaochen continued:

"It will be decided as soon as possible this year. Before going abroad, you must settle your aunt's life. Auntie, do you have any needs?"

"No...living expenses, that..."

Lin Yalei curled her fingers, she hesitated for a long time whether to ask this question cheekily.

"I will still call you on time." Jiang Yaochen, "If you need anything, you can call me during working hours, or you can contact Yueguo."

"Mr. Jiang, thank you, thank you... I really don't know how to thank you. In fact, you can leave me alone. You must take good care of Yueguo." Lin Yalei suddenly took out a tissue and began to wipe her tears.

Yue Guo was expressionless, but his heart throbbed with pain.

He really wanted Yaochen to stop caring about his mother, knowing that it wasn't his own money, and wanting to push forward like a vampire, but saying it in person would definitely disappoint.

***

S City Magazine suddenly visited two guests who said they wanted to break the news. They were a young man and a woman, followed by two men who looked like assistants.They are well dressed and are at least a middle class family.No, it should be someone from the upper class.

When he saw the woman's handbag matching the style of her clothes, a female colleague immediately reminded Zhong Cheng that he was a real rich man.

Zhong Cheng is the editor-in-chief of this newspaper's entertainment newspaper.The guest specified that he wanted to see the president, but the president was not there. He learned that the other party's contribution was related to the entertainment section, so he received it on his behalf.

"We want to expose something, and hope the news agency can publish this news." The woman handed out the document bag she brought.

Zhong Cheng also opened it face to face. A stack of documents was marked as evidence, and a stack of documents was marked as text.

Before he had time to read the content, he was shocked by the word "Jiang Dewen" on the title.

"This is a member of the public relations company we invited, and will help you face difficult problems together."

"Are you sure you want to expose such news?" Zhong Cheng started to turn the pages.But he never forgot the content on the title—Jiang Dewen cheated to raise an illegitimate child, and the accidental death of his ex-wife caused controversy.

The title is slightly exaggerated, but the content seems to be true. This is an old story that has never been exposed since Jiang Dewen became famous. Now it also involves the death of his ex-wife. If it is made into news, he may even be ruined.

"If there is no solid factual basis, we will not respond." Zhong Cheng has little doubts, after all, they dare not make trouble at will.

"Of course there are facts. The gentleman sitting in front of you is Jiang Dewen's second son." The woman replied.

Then, each other introduced their identities.The man sitting in front of him was Jiang Dewen's second son, Jiang Yaochen, and the woman was his mother's younger sister.

Zhong Cheng was taken aback. He was still wondering who would dare to blatantly reveal Jiang Dewen's family background. He didn't expect such an answer to surprise him. Excitement flashed in Zhong Cheng's eyes. Consciously use a clear voice.

"But, if this is the case, wouldn't your father and son... want to fight at odds? That's okay?"

"The relationship between my father and I is already very bad. This time, I plan to confront him openly." Yaochen replied.

"Let me guess, is your purpose money? Or do you want an explanation?"

"Neither of the two. I just want to expose this matter. As for the significance of it, it is up to the public to judge."

Yaochen originally planned to expose it on the Internet by himself, but it is more formal to use the news agency, and the people in the news agency are more capable of hype. In addition, they also found a public relations team.

The purpose is to let Jiang Dewen be brought to the forefront of the scandal, and the incident will be full of ups and downs. Jiang Dewen will definitely come to negotiate with them again.

It would be better if the police could be involved in the case, maybe evidence could be found.Jiang Dewen was followed by reporters and the police, so he could no longer act easily.

Soon "Jiang Dewen derailed and raised an illegitimate child, and the cause of his ex-wife's accidental death is unknown" soon appeared on the Internet news.Tomorrow the newspapers will print the follow-up of this incident, and the Internet will follow closely. A reporter was sent to interview Jiang Dewen at the door of his music room.

Within half an hour, the major news outlets relayed the magazine's news one after another, pushing this topic to a climax.

Even in the office - there were calls from more than a dozen online platforms, wanting to buy their news copyrights and continue to hype.

In order to increase the credibility of the news, Yaochen also planned to show up in person to explain that they had decided to use hype as a bargaining chip against Jiang Dewen, and this was the only way for the media to monitor Jiang Dewen together.

At ten o'clock in the evening, a backlit video appeared on the Internet. Although the face could not be seen clearly, it could be seen that the outline was a man. The man interviewed by the reporter in the screen was the son who claimed to be Jiang Dewen's second son.He didn't mention Jiang Dewen's cheating, but said that his parents broke up when he was a child, and he grew up with a cold-blooded father.Later, he detailed the car accident his mother suffered before his death, and suspected that someone was behind it.He also replied to the reporter that his mother had only one son, which verified the rumor that Jiang Dewen's eldest son was an illegitimate son.

Bigamy or cheating?Or messy X before marriage?

Jiang Dewen had a feud with his ex-wife, turned against his son, and killed him?

The news agency did not reveal the identity of Jiang Dewen's ex-wife.All of a sudden, it aroused people's daydreams and speculations, and different opinions ran rampant on the Internet. Some experts began to analyze Jiang Dewen's story from the perspective of social news.

More and more people are anonymously breaking the news about Jiang Dewen's bad deeds, even if those materials have nothing to do with this matter at all.

***

Pan Nian locked the door, and he pulled the suitcase, making a rolling sound.

This is Jiang Dewen's private music classroom, and his usual office is located in this park.

Due to the massive spread of news on the Internet, the music classroom is also unbearable.On this day, a large number of reporters came here to surround Jiang Dewen. Knowing that Jiang Dewen was not here, the reporters still pursued him and asked him what he thought of this matter as Jiang Dewen's student.Pan Nian had no choice but to give up asking for police assistance. After the alarm rang, the group of reporters left in disgrace. They could continue to fabricate news. Jiang Dewen avoided seeing it, and the students in the music classroom also avoided talking about it. The news is confirmed.

It stands to reason that Jiang Dewen is no longer as famous as he was when he was young, but associating him with a mysterious car accident made everyone more interested.

In order to contact the public relations team to respond and clarify, Pan Nian was busy in the office until late at night.

When going out, a figure appeared at the stairs.

"Auntie, are you still leaving so late?" Pan Nian walked over to say hello, "Is Yaoxi okay?"

"It's okay. Domestic news won't affect him, don't worry."

This is Yaoxi's mother, named Du Minhui.

But Pan Nian knew that she was only Yaoxi's aunt. After Yaoxi's mother passed away, she had been taking care of Yaoxi. Moreover, she loved Jiang Dewen. In addition to taking care of Yaoxi, she would also help Jiang Dewen with the aftermath. She seemed like a good wife and mother, but actually She has a lot of skills, using the electronic communication technology she learned when she was young, she has done some unknown things.

Knowing that her relationship with Jiang Dewen has not progressed, Pan Nian also respects her as an aunt.

"I didn't expect that woman to die..." Aunt suddenly annoyed.

"what?"

"It's nothing. You've worked hard to stay up so late."

Does that woman mean Yaochen's mother?

If she didn't die, maybe Yaochen wouldn't want to mess with the media, that would only hurt his mother.But now that his mother is not alive, even if he exposes everything and feels aggrieved for his mother, at least it will not affect the dead mother's body and directly threaten Jiang Dewen.

Jiang Dewen didn't expect that he sent someone to chase after Huang Yuhan's car, but Shu Lan was also in the car at the same time.Maybe her death was not directly related to the car accident, but the people who saw the news are so angry that they can't turn back.

At this time, Pan Nian heard noises in the courtyard downstairs.

"Is there anyone else downstairs?"

"Oh, I invited you to move things."

"Well, then I'll go first."

"Hey, you packed your luggage? What are you doing with so many things?" Auntie stared at the big suitcase that Ban Nian was pushing.

"These are the clothes I changed and washed when I lived here before. I'm moving home to tidy up."

"Well, then you have to be careful. It's late."

Pan Nian nodded anxiously.Why remind him to be careful?He thought to himself, his aunt probably couldn't see that he would run away.He no longer wants to work for Jiang Dewen. Of course, it is impossible to say clearly that he has quietly applied for a visa to London and will leave tomorrow. In this way, he can temporarily get rid of Jiang Dewen's control, and he needs to get his things out sooner. They were all transferred abroad and could no longer stay in the country. Once Jiang Dewen's affairs implicated him, he would definitely be imprisoned.

After going downstairs and pushing open the glass door of the hall, Pan Nian pushed the box out first.

Just as he stepped out of the door, he found a breath outside the door.There was a person outside the door. At first he thought it was a mover invited by his aunt.But it was too late, and the man rushed into the house with an electric baton in his hand.Before Pan Nian had time to resist, he was hit hard, and the current made him numb and trembling all over, and within a few seconds he fell to the ground like a dead person.

When he woke up again, Pan Nian had no memory of what happened after the electric shock. Fortunately, there was no trauma, only his body was extremely heavy.

Looking left and right, this is a dark room, about 20 square meters, and the windows are on the wall, but it is night, the outside is dark, and only a little moonlight leaks into the room, which shows that this is not an underground room, but a room on the ground.

His hands and feet were tied behind his back and he couldn't move.Pan Nian used friction to go to the crack on the ground, which is the door.

But suddenly he bumped into something soft.

It's a person!Only then did he realize that there was still a person lying on the ground. The light was not strong, so he couldn't see his face clearly, but it was a man.

The reason why I didn't find out just now is because that person is no longer angry. Is he dead?The heart is already full of fear, and the thought sends out a piercing scream.

Just after his scream, there was movement outside the house.

"What's your name! Do you need me to seal your mouth too?" The guard outside the house was also a man. Hearing the footsteps, it seemed that there were not only one person, but two.

The guard deliberately kicked the door, and this time, the people on the ground also began to groan in pain.

"Hey, are you alive? Wake up, wake up..."

Pan Nian arched her body vigorously and approached him, "Wake up."
