An Explanation
The Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway was currently the busiest and most profitable high-speed railway in China, with an annual profit of more than 10 billion yuan. Construction began in 2008, opened in June 11, and began to make profits in 2015. It was far ahead of the project's original prediction of five years of construction and five years of profit.
For many passengers, choosing high-speed railway brought more than convenience and comfort. For example, passengers who liked to smoke could get off the train and smoke along the way, which was incomparable to flying. At first, experts predicted that there would be absolutely not so many passengers. However, all the cities along the Beijing-Shanghai railway were developed cities along the eastern coast. How could there be no passenger flow? It was said that the second line of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed railway was already planned.
Today, a Fuxing train departing from Shanghai Hongqiao welcomed a few distinguished guests. The entire business class cabin had been booked. Sitting in the middle was an old lady who was nearly a hundred years old. Although the old lady had silver hair and a face full of wrinkles, she was amiable and looked very approachable. No one could guess the identity of this old lady. However, the flight attendant in the business class cabin had already been notified, and she was even more cautious when serving.
Sitting next to the old lady was a woman who looked very graceful and elegant. She took good care of the old lady and asked about the old lady's health every once in a while, for fear that the old lady would make any mistakes. This old lady was none other than her old mother.
The old lady was naturally the old lady of the Zhu family, and the noble woman was Zhu Qingwen. Today, the old lady returned to Beijing after eight years, and Zhu Qingwen naturally had to accompany her in person. In addition, there were two nannies and three medical staff. Zhu Jiayou also accompanied his grandmother back to Beijing today. He wanted to see his cousin who might be going through the biggest difficulty in his life.
Zhu Zhangshun calmed the old lady down. Zhu Qingwen thought that she could persuade the old lady, but she did not expect that the old lady would be so determined this time. This was beyond Zhu Qingwen's expectation. In the end, she could only compromise because even her brother, who was in a high position, had compromised. After all, this was her old mother.
"Mom, take a nap first. It will take a while for the train to arrive. I will wake you up when we arrive," Zhu Qingwen said in a low voice, holding the old lady's hand. She was on tenterhooks all the way. The old lady's health was not the same as eight years ago. Moreover, the old lady had never taken the high-speed railway. Who knew what would happen?
The old lady waved her hand and said, "I'm not sleepy yet. I'll sleep after a while. I haven't been out of Shanghai for eight years. I don't know what's going on outside. I have to see the changes in our country."
The old granny was also from a revolutionary background. She had followed the old man around for most of her life. Their fates had accompanied the growth of the People's Republic, and the feelings they had for the country would not diminish with age. That was why the old granny said that.
Zhu Qingwen nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, then take a good look. I will let you see as much as you want along the way."
The old lady continued to look out of the window, while Zhu Qingwen dealt with things. Everything had been arranged in Beijing. When the time came, the sister-in-law would come to pick them up in person. As for the brother, he was tied up with work and could not leave. The old lady did not like to be too ostentatious. Wasn't it just going back to Beijing?
This was the old place. The current arrangement was that after returning to Beijing, the old lady would directly live in a residential area in Xiangshan. The standard of the residential area was naturally very high. Ordinary people could not live in it. There were also many old friends of the old lady there. Usually, there would be people to accompany and chat with the old lady. The old man had moved here a few years after he retired. In the beginning, they lived near Fuyou Street. However, the old man felt that it was not convenient, so he moved away.
Zhu Qingwen and the others had not told the Qin siblings that the old lady had returned to Beijing. Even Zhu Jiayou had been strictly warned that if he secretly leaked the secret, he would break his legs when he got home. It was rare for Zhu Jiayou to see his loving mother so serious and serious. He was instantly frightened. How would he dare to secretly leak the secret, unless he did not want to live anymore?
At this time, Zhu Jiayou was chatting with a new girlfriend. She was a talented girl from the Shanghai Conservatory of Music. Her family was also a scholar. Zhu Jiayou liked her very much. Every day, he would go to the beautiful girl. The beautiful girl always looked neither sad nor happy. She even talked in a soft voice, which made Zhu Jiayou enjoy it very much. He did not know whether he would be serious this time or continue to play around.
Zhu Qingwen was not very strict with Zhu Jiayou. However, she also had a bottom line. After all, Zhu Changshun's identity was there. Nowadays, there were many sons who deceived their fathers. Therefore, once she found that Zhu Jiayou had crossed the line, she would immediately nip it in the bud.
In fact, Zhu Jiayou's new girlfriend was the girl who had asked him to lend money to her last time. Zhu Jiayou was not willing to ask others for this kind of thing. He did not have much pocket money, and he did not dare to ask for it from his family. If it was outside, he was afraid that something would go wrong. In the end, he turned to his rich cousin. Anyway, he did not need to return the money for a while. Naturally, he did not feel pressured.
However, this matter was found out by his biological brother later. Compared to the other people in the Zhu family, Zhu Jiayou's biological brother was especially strict with him. Fortunately, Zhu Jiayou did not come back, and this matter was left unsettled.
Zhu Jiayou was chatting happily. The corners of his mouth would involuntarily rise. Anyone could see that they were in love. Zhu Qingwen laughed and said, "Jiayou, when will you bring the girl home for me to see?"
Zhu Jiayou replied without turning his head, "Another day …"
As soon as he finished speaking, he came to himself in an instant and explained in a hurry, "Mom, what are you talking about? I'm talking about something. What do you mean by bringing the girl home?"
Zhu Qingwen stared at her son and said, "You think I don't know you? I'm warning you. If you want to have a good relationship, you have to be responsible for the girl. Don't harm her. Don't think that I don't know about your bad things."
Zhu Jiayou panicked in an instant. However, he did not do anything outrageous. He had been in love a few times and treated them sincerely every time. It was only later that he found out that the girl had ulterior motives or took the initiative to leave after knowing his family background. He could not do anything about it.
At this time, the old lady said on behalf of her grandson, "Why do you care so much? Our Jiayou is not a bad boy."
Zhu Jiayou immediately said, "Grandma knows me well. Grandma, you are so nice."
The old lady snorted and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
Zhu Jiayou immediately shut up obediently and continued to chat with the talented woman. Thinking of her walking towards him in a white dress on a summer evening with her little aunt, the breeze blowing her hair and the passersby whispering to each other, he felt that he was the happiest person in the world at that time.
In the evening, the Zhus finally arrived at the Beijing South Railway Station. The car was parked in a special place. It was not known whether it was a coincidence or intentional, but it stopped at the No. 1 platform on the far side. Before Zhu Jiayou got off the car, he saw several military cars parked outside the window. Obviously, his uncle had arranged to pick them up. Sometimes Zhu Jiayou felt that he had been born into such a family, which seemed to have a lot of privileges that ordinary people could not imagine. However, Zhu Jiayou sometimes felt very stressed. So far, he had not found his own direction in life.
Having no time to think about it, Zhu Jiayou quickly got off the car and immediately pushed his grandmother's wheelchair. He was clever enough, or else the whole Zhu family would not like him so much.
Wu Yajun had been waiting for a long time. Seeing the old lady get off the car, she quickly walked over and said hello to the old lady and others with a smile. They did not talk too much and immediately got on the car and left the Beijing South Railway Station. After all, it would take a lot of time on the road.
For some reason, Zhu Jiayou did not take the same car with his grandmother and aunt. Instead, he sat in the car behind. After getting on the car, Zhu Jiayou breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, he could get rid of his mother's sight. At this time, Zhu Jiayou quietly sent a text message on his mobile phone.
The text message said, "Cousin, I am risking my life to tell you a message. If you want to know, reply quickly."
After sending the text message, Zhu Jiayou waited anxiously. This time he was really risking his life. If his mother knew about it, who knew what kind of inhumane torture he would suffer when he went back home.
A few minutes later, the text message came back. The content said, "Say it quickly."
Zhu Jiayou raised his head and looked at the driver and other people in front of him. He immediately lowered his head and replied, "I can tell you, it's that …"
This time, Zhu Jiayou did not wait. The text message came back. The content said, "You don't have to return the money."
The corner of Zhu Jiayou's mouth rose. He immediately replied, "Good."
The next second, the text message came back. The content said, "News."
Zhu Jiayou took a deep breath and slowly typed, "Grandma has arrived in Beijing."
This time, Zhu Jiayou didn't receive any more news, because Qin Sheng was so shocked that he didn't know what to do. Grandma went back to Beijing?
…
In the courtyard of the Sixth Uncle in Sijiu City, the distinguished guest arrived quietly. He looked quite old, probably in his seventies or eighties. For him to come out at this age, it was obvious that he was not a good person. Moreover, he was accompanied by that extremely dangerous man.
Sixth Uncle had been waiting for a long time. This place definitely did not allow outsiders to enter. All the people here were his trusted subordinates. The security level was very high. No one was allowed to get close to this place. That was because the distinguished guest he was meeting today was the Qin Family's old enemy. Back then, Qin Sheng's mother had died unexpectedly because of this distinguished guest. Therefore, if the Zhu Family knew about this, Sixth Uncle could be sure that even if the Qin Family could not do anything to him, the Zhu Family would go all out to deal with him. With the Zhu Family's current influence, he would really get into big trouble.
Sixth Uncle sat on the purple sandalwood chair. When he saw the old man coming in, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile. "Brother, I have been waiting for you for a long time. We meet again."
The old man, who was staggering with his back bent over medicine, slightly raised his eyes, glanced at Sixth Uncle, and said, "Lao Liu, you should give me an explanation. This is not what I want. Is this what you are capable of?"
Sixth Uncle instantly felt a little nervous. Until now, he still did not know how powerful this old man was. However, he was sure that if the old man wanted to kill him, he could absolutely do it without anyone knowing. That was because the several assassinations against the Qin Family were all sent by the old man.
