In a small commercial district on the outskirts of Zhonghai, there was a mixture of crooks and honest folk.
In the middle of two older buildings, there was a small alley. It was cold and damp, and there were a few garbage bins that emitted a strange smell. There were only a few stray cats rummaging around for smelly food.
The owner of a small restaurant nearby, wearing clothes full of oil stains, walked into the alley. He carried two large black garbage bags and threw them near the two garbage bins, but did not throw them in.
The owner did not pay much attention to where he was going. Just as he was about to return, he tripped on something!
"Ouch!"
The shopkeeper shouted. Fortunately, he didn't fall down. When he turned around, he saw a female beggar with disheveled hair. Her face was full of dirt, and her clothes were torn and tattered. She was squatting in the corner of the alley, shivering.
The fat boss was disgusted and cursed, "Stinky beggar!" He didn't bother to say anything else and swaggered away.
The squatting female beggar, after the fat boss left, began to sob …
This beggar was naturally Luo Cuishan, who came out from under the bridge.
Luo Cuishan did not die, and she did not have the courage to commit suicide.
However, after suffering such torture, she did not know how to face her family, her subordinates, and she did not even know who to contact.
If people who knew her saw her like this, how would she have the face to continue living?
Moreover, she was also a high-ranking official who had been on TV. What if the people recognized her? Wouldn't that be more painful than death!?
In the torture of her heart, Luo Cuishan could only wander to this extent. She hid in an empty alley, at a loss of what to do.
At this time, another figure walked into the alley, limping.
Luo Cuishan suddenly raised her head. Her dirty face was full of anger, and her pair of bloodshot eyes were full of shame and anger. She said, "What are you doing here!?"
Cripple looked bored and sighed. "Hey, you think I want to come here? This is the only place nearby that is convenient for begging. Do you think I need to take a detour?"
Luo Cuishan snorted coldly and turned her head away, pretending not to see anything.
An evil smile appeared on Cripple's face as he took out two cold sesame seed cakes and a bottle of unlabeled water from the tattered cloth bag he carried on his back. He then sat beside Luo Cuishan and munched on the sesame seed cakes as lunch.
Because this sesame seed cake was a mildewed dried vegetable sesame seed cake, the moment it was taken out of the bag, the aroma wafted out, and the fragrance was very strong.
Luo Cuishan hadn't eaten the white steamed buns that Cripple had given her in the morning. She hadn't eaten anything last night either. After being tormented for the entire night, she was now very hungry and weak.
Luo Cuishan couldn't help but swallow her saliva. However, her pride wouldn't allow her to ask Cripple for food, let alone beg!
"Aiya, why does it smell like dried vegetables?" Cripple suddenly felt regretful and turned to Luo Cuishan. "Hey, I don't like to eat sesame seed cakes. There's still one left and I don't want to eat it. Why don't you eat it? It's not good to waste it."
Luo Cuishan snorted coldly. "Scram! I don't need your pity! "
Cripple said unhappily, "Who's pitying you?! Do you think I have nothing better to do? I'm a beggar and there's someone in this world who needs to be pitied by a beggar?! Aren't you thinking too highly of me? I just don't want to waste food. Why are you thinking so much?! Fine, fine. If you don't want to eat it, then forget it. I'll throw it into the trash to feed the cats! "
Luo Cuishan saw that Cripple was about to get up and throw away the sesame seed cake. She couldn't help but pull his leg and say with her head lowered, "You're a beggar and you're wasting food. How shameless. Give it to me!"
A trace of disdain flashed through Cripple's eyes, but he pretended to be nonchalant. "Here, here you go. Remember that you owe me a sesame seed cake after eating it! I don't want the dried vegetable one, I want the sesame one! "
"You don't have any ambition, yet you think you're so great just because of a sesame seed cake." Luo Cuishan took the sesame seed cake and didn't forget to belittle him.
Finally getting food, Luo Cuishan wolfed it down in big mouthfuls. This was probably the first time she had eaten such a delicious sesame seed cake since she was born!
However, because she was in such a hurry, she choked and couldn't swallow it down.
"Look at you, why are you in such a hurry to eat a sesame seed cake?" Cripple hurriedly passed the water to Luo Cuishan and said, "Drink it. I've never drunk this water before, so don't mind it being dirty."
Luo Cuishan couldn't care about anything else at this moment. She took the water and twisted it open to take a big gulp. After swallowing it, she continued to eat in big mouthfuls.
Cripple sat in front of Luo Cuishan and quietly watched her finish the entire sesame seed cake with a smile.
Luo Cuishan stole a glance at him from time to time. This young beggar who looked like he was in his twenties was like an ant in the past.
But now, even though she didn't admit it, she knew in her heart that this beggar had saved her life twice in a row …
Although the sins he had committed on his body could not be erased no matter how hard he tried.
Why did he treat her like this? Luo Cuishan was puzzled. She didn't know why, but she felt a little restless when she looked at Cripple who had a delicate face but was dirty …
…
Beijing, Yang Family, Yang Gongming's study room.
Sitting in the armchair, Yang Gongming hung up a phone call with a smile on his face.
Yan Sanniang stood at the side of the study table. When she saw the old man's expression, her wrinkled face revealed a hint of understanding. "Master, did he ask you to speak up for him again?"
"What else could it be?" Yang Gongming said proudly.
Yan Sanniang nodded with a smile. "What Young Master Chen did this time, although it wasn't for the Hua Xia government, the strength he displayed made it hard for the military not to be tempted. It's no wonder."
Yang Gongming nodded in agreement.
Because Yang Cheng brought An Zaihuan back from the UA military base in Country F in a short span of an hour, and for some unknown reason, the UA military quickly retreated from the Southeast Asian waters. This greatly reduced the pressure on the Hua Xia military!
Now, the comments on the internet were all on the side of the navy and the government. They thought that the military could finally hold their heads up high and keep the enemy at bay.
This situation was unexpected by the military. Therefore, Yang Cheng, who had only been watched by the security bureau, was now being watched closely by the officials in the military.
Knowing that he was Yang Gongming's long-lost grandson, the military was even more excited. After all, the Yang Family represented half of the Hua Xia military. If the grandson of the Yang Family was so powerful, then if he could officially enter the military, wouldn't it be possible for the Hua Xia military to compete with the UA military?
Although the security bureau did not disclose a lot of information about Yang Cheng, the military officers were not stupid. They collected some information from overseas and had a rough idea.
Out of fear of Yang Cheng, and not wanting to be rejected and lose face, there were a few senior officials that morning. But their real intention was to ask Yang Gongming, as an elder, to talk to Yang Cheng to see if he could join the Hua Xia's camp. Of course, there were a lot of reasons to do so.
"Master, will you talk to him?" Yan Sanniang asked with a smile.
Yang Gongming laughed heartily. "Sanniang, it's not a matter of whether I talk or not. It's a matter of whether or not Yang Cheng will listen. Instead of talking to him in vain, it's better not to embarrass myself. "
Yan Sanniang said, "According to the rules of 'Hongmeng,' although Young Master Chen doesn't need to hide from the world because of his bloodline of the four major families, he can't participate in worldly affairs. Master is worried that if Young Master Chen really becomes involved with the military out of filial piety and disturbs the worldly affairs, Hongmeng will be displeased. "
Yang Gongming sighed. "Sanniang knows me best. 'Hongmeng' may be said to protect Hua Xia's foundation, but ultimately, it's an existence that transcends the world. Nothing else matters to their true mission. They won't treat Yang Cheng specially just because he has Hua Xia's bloodline. I only hope that Yang Cheng can protect the three generations of the Yang family after I die. I'm old, and I can't always rely on myself to stabilize the Yang Family's position. Pojun won't be able to convince the masses, and Lie 'er isn't magnanimous enough. If it wasn't for the fact that he had no other choice, he wouldn't have dragged Yang Cheng into this. After all, the bloodline of the Yang Family is too thin. It's a far cry from the flourishing branches of the other three families. "
Yan Sanniang said worriedly, "Recently, I've been feeling that the day of my departure isn't far away."
Yang Gongming was shocked. He smiled bitterly. "What's coming has come …"
