Chapter 374 Xiao Chenyu's Funeral

As time changed, another day passed, and today was the day when Xiao Chenyu held his funeral. Early that morning, Ning Bingrou and I left the house.

Even though I haven't arrived at the destination, I can already imagine how "sensational" there will be at the funeral. It was this time that I learned that Xiao Chenyu had an older brother, but according to what he said before, the so-called "brother" should be his half-brother.

When he was almost at the destination, Ning Bingrou, who was sitting in the passenger seat, suddenly turned her head and looked at me with a slightly hesitant look.

"Dongli, when I was in the hospital yesterday, I met Chen Yu's brother Xiao Chenfeng. We chatted for a while. When we left, he asked me that today, Xiao Chenfeng wanted to have a private chat with you after the funeral."

I turned the steering wheel and drove to the front right. The navigation of my phone on the center console had already issued a reminder that I had arrived at my destination one hundred and fifty meters ahead.

"He would ask to come to talk to me, which is normal, so go." I glanced at Ning Bingrou and asked again: "By the way, have you ever met Xiao Chenfeng when you were abroad?"

Ning Bingrou shook her head gently, looked at the dense drizzle outside the window, and said, "No, yesterday was the first time I saw him. When I was still abroad, I only saw Chen Yu in the Xiao Group's people."

I nodded gently and said "Yes" without continuing to talk about this topic. A short while later, we also arrived at our destination. On the road outside, there were already cars full of cars. It seemed that we could only walk down to hold an umbrella.

After parked the car, I picked up an umbrella and got out of the car, walked to the passenger seat of the passenger seat and opened the door for Ning Bingrou. She held my arms and walked carefully towards the position above the slope.

When Ning Bingrou and I walked up together, we soon saw many acquaintances, including... Ning Xiongzheng, Luo Qihua, Xu Yijiang, as well as some senior executives of the former Zhongtian Group, as well as some elites in the business world.

However, the "old subordinates" of Xiao Chenyu who were originally in Zhongtian Group during his lifetime basically did not come here. Now those who come here have long become Ning Xiongzheng's "confidants".

The worldly style and the world's coolness are vividly interpreted at this moment! If this rain can wash away human nature, then the accumulated water flowing out of the ground must be black.

After we walked up, they all saw Ning Bingrou and me, but no one whispered to each other on such occasions. The process of the funeral began soon, but most people just went forward to Xiao Chenyu's grave, gave him a bouquet of flowers, turned around and left, and some would bow more, and then whisper a few words before leaving.

When it was Ning Bingrou and I, we also gave me a bouquet of flowers. Standing behind Ning Bingrou, I heard her murmur softly, "Chen Yu, go all the way...", and then turned around and returned to me, and did not leave, because Xiao Chenfeng would talk to me a little later.

When Ning Bingrou returned to me, I saw that her eyes were gradually rosy. In December, it was raining in the suburbs again, and the air was filled with a cold atmosphere.

Everyone was wearing black clothes, but at this moment, Ning Bingrou's face looked even paler. The dead are the most important, and at this point, I was not jealous of it.

About twenty minutes later, because it was raining, and today was a weekday, many people just came over to go through the process and then left one after another.

Ning Xiongzheng looked at Ning Bingrou and me at this time. We were several meters away from each other and did not speak. Just a look, we could roughly understand each other's inner information.

The expression on Ning Xiongzheng's face at this time looked very calm, so calm... it makes people feel a little cold, even to his daughter Ning Bingrou, which is really terrifying to think about it carefully!

A person can change so tremendously in just a few months. What unknown secret is hidden?! A bold guess has begun to emerge in my mind.

If Xiao Chenyu's death had nothing to do with Ning Xiongzheng, then I would never believe it. You must know that when Xiao Chenyu was alive, they were the top people at Zhongtian Group, and there were open and secret struggles, so... Ning Xiongzheng could not be suspicious at all, but we had no conclusive evidence, so we would not be so stupid that we went to confront him directly.

What Qiu Yue said when reminding me on the phone yesterday was right. Some things are not within their control. So don’t cause trouble and interfere. Just leave them to the J Party to deal with them. That is their responsibility, and what we can do is to do a positive cooperation work when necessary.

Not long after, Ning Bingrou went to a place to shelter from the rain and waited for me, because we had already seen that Xiao Chenfeng was walking towards me. Behind him, there was a subordinate who followed him to hold an umbrella, but when Xiao Chenfeng walked in front of me, Xiao Chenfeng just turned his head slightly and took the umbrella from the subordinate with a look. The subordinate turned around and walked to the other side in the rain.

"Go over there and have a chat."

This is the first sentence Xiao Chenfeng said after meeting me. I can’t hear what tone it was in my words.

Xiao Chenfeng and Xiao Chenyu are just a bit similar. Judging from their appearance, the age difference between them will not exceed three years, but Xiao Chenfeng's figure is slightly taller than Xiao Chenyu.

We walked under the eaves of a house with an umbrella between about one meter, while Ning Bingrou stood waiting for me on the other side.

After putting away the umbrella, Xiao Chenfeng and I took out a cigarette and lit it in a tacit understanding. Even Xiao Chenfeng's eyes were a little surprised.

After lit the cigarette, I turned around and looked at Xiao Chenfeng, and asked, "What do you want to talk about when you are looking for me?"

Xiao Chenfeng did not look at me, but looked at the dense forest in the distance. The rain in the eaves in front of him became even stronger, and the smoke from the two of us was floating in the air.

"I have learned all the responses given by J Party and my brother's autopsy report. The only person my brother proposed to meet during his lifetime was you, Zhou Dongli."

"So, what do you want to say?"

"In order not to cause panic, I will announce to the outside world that the cause of my brother's death was an accident, but do you believe that it was really an accident?"

I don't understand what Xiao Chenfeng means, so I didn't refute him on the spot, but literally, it sounds...it seems to be a suspicion that I have the biggest suspicion?

A short while later, I took a sip of cigarettes and said calmly: "I don't know if it was an accident, but I believe the results given by J and the forensic doctor."

Xiao Chenfeng smiled disdainfully and said a foggy sentence: "Only after the vegetation on the mountain is cleaned up, can one gorgeous building after another be built. Zhou Dongli, do you think... are they 'willing' in their hearts for those vegetation?"

"Man is not a plant or a tree, and cannot be compared."

Xiao Chenfeng suddenly had a deep smile on his lips. He turned around and looked at me, with his deep eyes with a very sharp meaning.

"This is just a metaphor. If you want to pretend to be confused with me, I will not expose you." His eyes looked at the woods in the distance again, and then quoted a poem to answer my words just now: "'Wild fires cannot be burned out, and the spring breeze will grow again'. In the laws of nature, there are the laws of survival and the principles are the same."

A short while later, before I could answer his words, Xiao Chenfeng took a strong breath of cigarettes, and the flames on the cigarette butts quickly burned, and he continued to speak.

"I know, my brother is thinking of asking you to prepare 30 million and then transfer the shares of the garbage projects you cooperate with to him, and then he will tell you a 'shocking secret', which is the deal you have reached."

"You are wrong. It's just a deal we want to reach, not a 'deal'. There is a difference between the two."

After correcting what Xiao Chenfeng said, I didn't want to talk so much with him, so I simply said.

"In this matter, I am also one of the victims. Do you think...I really want to do this deal? If you have any questions about this matter, you should know who to ask for. Assuming that your judgment and guess are correct, you should speed up your actions even more. After all,... it is possible that the real 'murderer' is still at large. You are Chen Yu's brother."

Xiao Chenfeng turned around and looked at me coldly. He threw the cigarette butt in his hand on the ground and stomped it out, and said, "Don't worry, I will do what I should do. Xiao Group, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. No matter how it is, it will not take much effort to find out the truth of a thing. I came from abroad, but I am not alone. My arrival represents Xiao Group."

A short while later, Xiao Chenfeng turned his back to me, crossed his hands behind him, and said coldly: "You can leave now."

Now I know that the biggest common point between these two brothers is the same pride and aloofness. The difference is that Xiao Chenfeng, the older brother, is even more arrogant than Xiao Chenyu!

After a while, I sucked the last point of the cigarette, turned around and saw a trash can next to it. After stepping on it, I put the cigarette butt into the trash can.

"The garbage should be kept in the trash can, not throw it around." I glanced at Xiao Chenfeng indifferently, and finally left a sentence "The quiet water flows deep, don't let your self-righteousness ruin yourself."

This is a reminder for him. As for whether Xiao Chenfeng listens or not, let him go. Xiao Chenyu, who had just returned to China, was also so blind and arrogant. He always thought that his tricks abroad could crush many things. In the end, not only did he slap in the face, but he also devoted his life to it.

After saying that, I opened my umbrella and walked towards where Ning Bingrou was.

At Xiao Chenyu's funeral today, I personally felt that the "peaceful" idea that I originally thought was completely eliminated. Judging from the performance of Ning Xiongzheng and Xiao Chenfeng alone, I knew that this matter was far from over, and even... this may just be the beginning!

Xiao Chenfeng came back from afar abroad and would never give up if he didn't really find out the cause of Xiao Chenyu's death. He said just now that his arrival represents the "Xiao Group".

On the way back, not long after, Ning Bingrou, who was sitting in the passenger seat, turned to look at me, and couldn't help asking in a tentative tone: "Dongli, what have you... talked to Xiao Chenfeng just now?"

I pondered for a moment, perhaps because I was "influenced" by Xiao Chenfeng's speaking style, and said a particularly metaphorical word.

"The tree wants to be quiet but the wind does not stop, and the matter is not over yet."
