Since he had misunderstood her, Yang Cheng did not intend to be a coward. Although he knew that if he apologized now, Lin Ruoxi would be angry, he still had to show his attitude. Therefore, Yang Cheng did not bother to take the red wine and directly rushed to the second floor, arriving at the door of Lin Ruoxi's room.
After thinking about what to say, Yang Cheng cautiously knocked on the door. "Knock, knock, knock …"
There was no movement in the room, as if there was no one inside. However, Yang Cheng could feel that Lin Ruoxi was inside, but there was no response.
Yang Cheng was helpless. Although he was thick-skinned, he was not so reckless. If he forced his way in at this time, regardless of whether he apologized sincerely or not, Lin Ruoxi would be particularly angry.
Yang Cheng could only stand at the door and sincerely said, "Ruoxi, I know I misunderstood you. It's my fault. Please be magnanimous and forgive me this time. Next time, I won't doubt you without distinguishing the facts, I promise. "
There was still no movement in the room. Yang Cheng was a little depressed. He could only stand there and say such words.
After waiting quietly for a while, Lin Ruoxi still had no intention of opening the door. Yang Cheng could only walk back to his room weakly.
His mind was in a mess. There was no solution to the problem of Mo Qianni, and now Lin Ruoxi was too lazy to care about him. Yang Cheng suddenly felt that he had really failed.
He lay in bed all night thinking about how to be forgiven. It was not until the next day when he got up and went downstairs that Yang Cheng finally saw Lin Ruoxi sitting there eating breakfast with Zhenxiu.
Yang Cheng was about to go up and say something, but he saw a flash of disgust between Lin Ruoxi's eyebrows. She put down her chopsticks, stood up, and said to Mother Wang who came out of the kitchen, "Mother Wang, I'm full. I'll go to work first."
Mother Wang was stunned, "Miss, why did you eat so little?"
"I'm not hungry," Lin Ruoxi said perfunctorily. She picked up her bag, turned around, and left.
Yang Cheng's mouth was half-open. He swallowed the words he wanted to say. He didn't expect Lin Ruoxi to not even have the intention to talk to him. It was really frustrating.
Zhenxiu's big watery eyes turned to Yang Cheng, "Brother Yang, did you do something that Ruoxi sister hates again? She seems to be angrier than before."
Yang Cheng was speechless. She glanced at Zhenxiu and thought, 'How could she not be angry? I trusted her before. But this time, I actually dared to doubt her.'
There was no medicine for regret in this world. If there was, Yang Cheng would have wanted to get one even if he had to spend all his money.
Mother Wang pursed her lips and shook her head, but didn't say anything. She only slowly scooped a bowl of millet porridge for Yang Cheng, as if telling him to do as he saw fit.
After Yang Cheng finished his breakfast in a daze, he wanted to send Zhenxiu back to school. However, Zhenxiu rejected him, saying, "I don't want to see Brother Yang's bitter face." This made Yang Cheng very conflicted.
Since no one loved him, Yang Cheng could only go to work at the company. Speaking of which, it had been a few days since he sat in the office properly. Ever since Star of Yu Lei ended, the company's reputation rose, and many things were on the right track. With Wang Jie and Zhao Teng taking care of the internal and external matters, Yang Cheng was very relaxed as the director.
When he arrived at the office, Yang Cheng realized that Anxin, whom he hadn't seen for a few days, had come to work again. She was wearing a light yellow pleated dress, revealing half of her shoulders, and her hair was neatly combed behind her ears. Her fresh and elegant dressing added a hint of orchid temperament to the originally bright and beautiful woman, which surprised Yang Cheng a little.
Sitting on Yang Cheng's big leather chair as the director, Anxin was bending over the table and reading some documents. Compared to the sloppy guy Yang Cheng, Anxin, who had been nurtured by a good family's daughter since young, was more like a director.
Seeing Yang Cheng enter the office, Anxin raised her head and smiled sweetly, "Dear, you're late."
"Is there a day that I'm not late?" Yang Cheng pursed his lips and walked forward. He moved closer to Anxin's fair face and said with a smile, "I didn't know that my darling Anxin had such a delicate side to you. From the looks of it, Demoness An is going to become Fairy An. Tsk tsk, it's really hard to choose."
Anxin pouted, "I've been a demoness for so long that I'm almost becoming a demoness myself. In order to make the people around you like me, I have to at least look more proper from today onwards."
Although her words sounded a little childish, Yang Cheng was quite touched when he heard it.
Previously, when he met with Guo Xuehua, Mother Wang, and the others, Lin Ruoxi saw their intimacy. Although no one was against Anxin, it was obvious that Anxin felt excluded.
She was destined to be the third party. This feeling of powerlessness made her unable to come to work and meet Yang Cheng.
Now that she was back at work again, she did not have any complaints. She only changed her makeup, hoping that her elegant appearance would be more acceptable.
Yang Cheng reached out and pinched Anxin's tender face, "Whether you're a demoness or a fairy, I like you both."
Anxin smiled sweetly, then pointed to the document in her hand and said, "Before you came, I was looking at the publicity plan. It's about the release of Hui Lin's new album and concert. Do you want to take a look?"
"Hui Lin's concert?" Yang Cheng did not expect Hui Lin to hold a concert so soon. This girl was too efficient.
Anxin nodded, "Although Hui Lin's popularity is not as high as some of the older celebrities, she has the advantage of being recognized by the public. Not only that, she has the support of a super queen like Christen. Moreover, her mysterious background has piqued everyone's curiosity. Therefore, her popularity is enough for her to hold a concert. Moreover, Hui Lin is from Beijing. Therefore, holding a concert in Beijing will definitely be a success. "
Yang Cheng smiled. According to what Anxin said, Hui Lin's mysterious background must be related to Abbess Yun Miao.
Although the Lin family was not as rich as the Big Four Families, they still had an official background. If the children of the Lin family entered the entertainment industry, it would be detrimental to the country's prestige.
Therefore, even if the media and paparazzi found out about Hui Lin's real background, they wouldn't dare to publish it. They were afraid of getting into trouble. If there were a few hotheads, they would probably be eliminated at the source.
This was also one of the main reasons why Abbess Yun Miao didn't approve of her granddaughter becoming a singer. However, Abbess Yun Miao had a soft heart when it came to Hui Lin. When that girl really started to sing, Abbess Yun Miao could only help her granddaughter clear the obstacles.
However, Yang Chen wasn't in the mood to read the proposal. He lazily walked to the sofa at the side and lied down. He said, "If it's feasible, help me stamp it. I don't know much about operations."
Anxin could hear something strange in Yang Cheng's tone. She asked hesitantly, "Hubby … Is there … something on your mind?"
Yang Chen smiled bitterly. "I can't believe you can tell."
"This is the first time I've seen you so listless," Anxin said worriedly.
Yang Cheng felt that there was nothing to hide. He might even be able to get some advice from Anxin. Therefore, he briefly told her about Mo Qianni and Lin Ruoxi. In the end, he asked in distress, "Babe Anxin, you're a woman. Tell me, how should I get my mother-in-law to agree to my relationship with Qianni and make Ruoxi forgive me?"
Anxin looked at Yang Cheng blankly. She didn't expect to know that Yang Cheng had so many things on his mind.
"Hearing you say that … I feel that my matters are nothing," Anxin said softly. "Although I'm a woman, I'm not a mother yet … So, I can't completely understand what that auntie is thinking. I think that as a mother, there must be some emotions that others can't feel. "
Yang Cheng was silent. This was also one of the main reasons why he couldn't find a solution. He had no position to convince Ma Guifang.
"However …" Anxin pursed her lips and said, "General Lin is angry at you, but it's not difficult to solve. At the very least, I don't think that General Lin is that kind of woman who is too petty."
Previously, the only one who had interacted with Lin Ruoxi a lot was Anxin. Therefore, when Anxin suddenly said this, Yang Cheng immediately became spirited.
Anxin thought for a moment and said, "I feel that if you want Sister Lin to forgive you, the best way is to let her see your sincerity."
"I'm just short of kneeling in front of her room. How am I going to show her my sincerity? "Do I have to stab myself with a knife?" Yang Cheng smiled bitterly.
Anxin rolled her eyes at him and said, "No wonder Sister Lin is always angry at you. Do you only know these hard methods? You have to think about what she likes and what she wants. Don't you understand Sister Lin at all? "
Yang Cheng's mind suddenly came to a realization. That's right! How could he have forgotten? Back then, didn't Tang Wan tell him to properly understand Lin Ruoxi's past! He had a lot of things to do and didn't think about it. When Anxin mentioned it, Yang Cheng finally found the crux of the matter!
Immediately sitting up from the sofa, Yang Cheng took out his phone and dialed his home number.
The one who picked up the phone was Mother Wang. Yang Cheng hurriedly asked, "Mother Wang, do you still remember the names of Ruoxi's kindergarten, primary school, middle school, and high school?"
Mother Wang was full of doubts on the other end. She said, "Of course I remember. When Miss went to school when she was young, I often accompanied her. Why are you suddenly asking about this?"
Yang Cheng chuckled and said, "It's nothing. I just want to know more. Mother Wang, just tell me …"
An Xin who was listening to Yang Chen excitedly making a phone call at the side had a trace of a smile in her eyes. She also felt a little envious. Will there come a day when this man will also ask me where I went to school when I was young?
…
Beijing, Li Family, Li Moshen's study.
On the chair, Li Moshen wore a suit jacket and looked at the middle-aged man in military uniform sitting in front of him with a smile.
"It's so early in the morning. Why does General Cai have time to come here? Are you here for morning tea?" Li Moshen looked kind as if he was looking at his own nephew. He didn't look like the iron-fisted ruler of the Security Bureau at all.
It was Cai Yuncheng's first time coming to the Li family's headquarters. Although the Li family's son, Sun Yongye, had always been pursuing his daughter, Cai Yuncheng had never thought of relying on his daughter to make a name for himself. He didn't even when he wasn't the general of Yellow Flame Iron Brigade. Now that he was in control of Yellow Flame Iron Brigade, he could be said to have half a foot in the same boat as the Li family, but he still kept a certain distance from the Li family.
Cai Yuncheng smiled and shook his head. He picked up the porcelain bowl and took a sip of the steaming hot tea. This was personally served by the eldest son of the Li family, Li Yunpeng.
This handsome middle-aged man in a conservative Chinese tunic suit was actually about the same age as Cai Yuncheng. He was standing beside Li Moshen with a warm smile but didn't say a word.
It was strange that the eldest son of the Li family, Li Yunpeng, had always been like an assistant to his father, Li Moshen, and rarely showed his talents. On the other hand, his son, Li Dun, was as famous as Yan Buwen, the "Yan Jin King Duo". He was the leader of the younger generation in Yan Jin.
It was as if the Li family had directly transitioned from Li Moshen to Li Dun, and Li Yunpeng was just a bridge to give birth to a son.
However, anyone with a brain would not underestimate the low-key Li Yunpeng, because a middle-aged man who was able to accompany his father to do odd jobs in such a family, no matter what the reason was, had an absolutely strong heart.
"Chief, if it wasn't for something urgent, I wouldn't dare to disturb your leisure time," Cai Yuncheng said straightforwardly.
Li Moshen narrowed his eyes. "Although Yellow Flame Iron Brigade is a subordinate department of the Security Bureau, it has always been free to do whatever it wants. That's how it was in the past. Now that General Cai has taken office, there won't be any changes. If there's anything you need me to do, feel free to tell me. "
Cai Yuncheng thought for a while and subconsciously knocked on the armrest of his chair. "Something happened in Zhonghai."
Li Moshen's expression didn't change, but he asked directly, "Is it about that kid from the Yang Family?"
"That's right." Cai Yuncheng smiled faintly. "Sky Dragon and Ye Zi, who are in charge of watching over him, reported to me last night that Yang Chen had a conflict with the White Wolf Society and the Zhu clan of Su Province. I have sent the specific information to the archives. Chief, you can take a look at it. "
Li Moshen nodded and turned to his son, Li Yunpeng.
Li Yunpeng understood and took out a laptop from a cabinet. He opened it for his father and connected it to the Security Bureau's archives.
Li Moshen clicked on the details of the incident and some background information. After a brief look, his face darkened. "The White Wolf Gang is deeply rooted in the Su Province. They have been in contact with the Zhu Family for a long time. If we make a move against them, it will definitely hurt them."
Cai Yuncheng smiled bitterly. "I think so too. The Zhu Family has a lot of power in the Su Province. There are also many retired special forces in the White Wolf Gang. With them in the Su Province, the Su Province's underworld will be stable. Originally, we kept them because we needed each other. But now, Yang Cheng is serious about making a move against them. Once he has made up his mind, he won't change it. "
Li Moshen frowned. "Why? Doesn't he care about what happened to Hongmeng?"
Cai Yuncheng said, "Sky Dragon told me that Yang Cheng doesn't care if Hongmeng is involved or not. He wants the White Wolf Gang dead. Also, if we don't make a move, he will use his overseas forces to do it himself."
"Hahahaha …" Li Moshen suddenly laughed out loud, his spirits lifted. "He's indeed Yang Gongming's grandson. I thought he would keep hiding, but when it comes to it, he really dares to do anything! Fine! White Wolf Gang will be in trouble. Let's do it! "
Cai Yuncheng frowned when he saw Li Moshen had made up his mind so quickly. "Chief, if the White Wolf Gang makes a move, the underworld in the Su Province will be in chaos. If we make a move against the White Wolf Gang, the Zhu Family will be killed. That means the higher-ups in the Su Province will have to reshuffle the cards. The National People's Congress has just ended.
"Then what should we do?" Li Moshen pointed to the south. "That brat from the Yang Family in Zhonghai doesn't care about anything anymore. If Hongmeng doesn't make a move, the Security Bureau and the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade may not be as strong as his two mercenary corps even if we combine our forces. Even if there are only a few assassins from ZERO, we won't be able to defend against them.
This is something we can't stop. Instead of letting the brat from the Yang Family cause chaos, we might as well kill them ourselves. That way, we won't be able to rest easy. "
Cai Yuncheng looked as if he had just woken up from a dream. His eyes were filled with admiration. He finally realized that he had been worrying about nothing.
Yellow Flame Iron Brigade's surveillance of Yang Cheng did not have any substantial effect. Since Yang Cheng was so straightforward about destroying the White Wolf Gang and the Zhu Family, if Hongmeng did not appear, what was the point of struggling?!
"Elder Li is wise." Cai Yuncheng did not call him "Director" this time. He stood up and bowed. "If that's the case, the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade will be in charge of this operation. We are better at doing things in the dark."
Li Moshen did not have any objections. He smiled and said, "General Cai, why don't you come visit us more often in the future? My nephew's son, Yong Ye, is going to marry your daughter, Flower Rain. In the future, the Cai Family and the Li Family will be in-laws. We should interact more."
When Cai Yuncheng heard this, he felt a little emotional. Now that things had come to this, he felt sorry for his eldest daughter, Cai Ning. However, he knew that the only ones who could save Cai Ning were the Li family, so he smiled and nodded before leaving.
After Cai Yuncheng left, Li Yunpeng asked, "Father, are we really going to destroy the White Wolf Gang and the Zhu Family? Half of the Su Province is going to collapse."
Li Moshen squinted his eyes and said, "This is all Yang Cheng's fault. We were just forced to do it. If something really happens, it's not our fault."
"But …" Li Yunpeng had a strange look on his face. "I really don't know what Yang Cheng is thinking. If he does this, there's no guarantee that the Hongmeng Ambassador won't look for him."
Li Moshen smiled and said, "Even Yang Gongming is not anxious. Why are you worried about him?"
Li Yunpeng smiled shyly and said, "I'm just lamenting why he always challenges the bottom line of others when he has such generous conditions. Why doesn't he just stay abroad and enjoy his life?"
"Yunpeng …" Li Moshen turned his head and looked at the bright morning light outside the window. He said slowly, "That kid from the Yang Family … It's already a great miracle that he could live for more than ten years. You can't use normal logic to think about his decisions. When it comes to an unknown like him, no one can really grasp the absolute advantage."
Li Yunpeng was silent, as if he was thinking about the meaning of his father's words.
"Yang Gongming …" Li Moshen mumbled to himself, "Even I am a little impressed by you, hehe …"
