Xia Ruxuan actually vaguely felt that this day would not be too far away.

When he came to visit the old man a few days ago, the old man's consciousness was no longer so clear, and he looked like he was completely old. On his face, a rare gentle smile appeared, and he didn't say anything, looking at Xia Ruxuan.

When I was in the past, the look and feeling seemed to be falling into memories of the past, and the atmosphere was gentle.

That day, Xia Ruxuan sat with his grandfather in this room for the whole afternoon. Both of them were quietly listening to the sing of Peking Opera songs. Grandpa no longer tapped the rhythm with his palms, but his fingers trembled gently to the rhythm.

Late at night, Xia Ruxuan and Li Shaoyu rushed back to the south of the summer and came to the villa, the old man lying peacefully on the recliner with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep. He was wearing the dark black suit and the side of his head was covered with the

He was wearing a black top hat and looked peaceful and solemn.

Everyone stood in the room, and then Xia Yunbai turned his head and looked at Xia Ruxuan, softly saying softly, "Let's take a look at grandpa for the last time." Unlike the hospital where the pungent disinfectant smelled in Xia Ruxuan's memory, this time...at least...

He was much more peaceful. He hadn't slept so peacefully and steadily for a long time, and from then on... he would never wake up again.

All night, everyone in the Xia family gathered in this villa, silent.

Even though the old man was in a healthy state and had no serious illness or pain, he finally left. In such a sunny summer, he was 85 years old. When he saw the Xia family thriving at this time, he

Just went peacefully like this.

The grandfather's favorite Peking Opera song was still playing in the sound of the room, and at this time he sighed sadly. Xia Ruxuan vaguely felt that something was broken for the Xia family.

The next day, the parking lot of Xiangshan Park villa area was filled with various solemn black high-end cars.

The entire Xiangshan Park is messy, with many people coming and going.

Some of them are business and political circles, and some are mixed in society. On this day, they all came to mourn Mr. Xia Mingrong.

In the temporary mourning hall built on the open space in the villa area of ​​Xiangshan Park, there are countless people who Xia Ruxuan knew and whom he had never met, from all over Jiangnan. They all looked so respectful and regretful in front of the old man's mourning hall.

This kind of scene has some impression in Xia Ruxuan's memory. When grandpa was young, he must have been a person with a very high status.

He stood in the villa, standing in the place where his grandfather once lived every day, looking at the open space outside. The sky began to gradually become gloomy on this day. The atmosphere was silent and sad all day, not as traditional as in China

The old man said when he was alive that he only wanted a silent funeral so that his soul could leave quietly. So this atmosphere seemed much more solemn to Xia Ruxuan.

The night was dim, and Xia Ruxuan finally returned home with a tired body. She was busy in the East China Sea during the day and kept guarding at night. From this day on, there were many people coming to pay their respects, and this atmosphere lasted for several days.

When he walked into the door tiredly, Xia Ruxuan suddenly noticed a few pairs of shoes at the door. The atmosphere in the whole house was peaceful and there was no sound. Only the door of Xia Yunbai Study on the second floor was closed. When Xia Ruxuan walked to the door, he heard a vague message inside.

The speech that came was unclear, but after thinking about it, he still knocked on the door of the study, "It's me."

"Come in." After a few seconds, Xia Yunbai finally spoke.

Xia Ruxuan walked in and saw three men in formal and graceful clothes sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette with a stern face. Xia Yunbai leaned against the boss's chair with a deep face as if thinking about something.

When he saw Xia Ruxuan, one of the men didn't know whether he was polite or why he raised his eyebrows. He squeezed out a smile and said actively, "Young Master Xiao Xia is young and promising. He is worthy of being the junior of Mr. Xia. The younger generation is so terrifying."

Xia Yunbai looked at Xia Ruxuan and didn't say anything. One of the other two people was obviously not interested in this topic, but just said, "Mr. Xia, I am just responsible for conveying the news above. You are a descendant of Mr. Xia, we are right.

The entire Xia family has enough respect, but none of Xia family has qualifications. To put it bluntly, it is impossible for Mr. Xia to go there, so the entire south is left to outsiders, right?" At the end of the conversation, the man's tone was a little

Heavy, Xia Ruxuan felt uncomfortable when he heard this, but Xia Yunbai didn't react much and frowned, "I mean, the north and south have been under the management of you for so long, Jiangnan has not changed anything, Mr.

I just passed away, it’s not their turn to take over, right?”

"It's like this." The man just spoke and smiled, just tugging his smile. "As me, I don't want to see such a thing happen. But after Mr. Xia retreated to the second line these years, the south has always had no leader.

It was just relied on Mr. Xia's remaining power. If he didn't have the qualifications to stand up, he was afraid that the peaceful atmosphere would not last long. Unfortunately, Mr. Xia did not want this family to take this line from the beginning.

road."

"I understand what the old man means, so you don't need to repeat it to me." Xia Yunbai said with a calm face and said coldly.

The man looked at Xia Yunbai, then looked at Xia Ruxuan, smiling at the time without a smile, "I have finished talking about everything I should say, I will say goodbye today. As for this matter... I want to negotiate with you in the north.

He also respects Mr. Xia. Otherwise, your Xia family’s qualifications are still far from that time."

After saying that, the man turned his head and ran out, and no one even looked back. The other two obviously had no intention of saying anything else. The door was closed with a slam, blocking the inside and outside.

Xia Yunbai didn't even say a polite word, and was always silent, as if thinking about something.

"Dad, these people..." Xia Ruxuan spoke tentatively, and Xia Yunbai raised his head and looked at him, his face softened a little. He looked at Xia Ruxuan for a long time, and at this time a top-level car with a license plate outside was driving outside with a license plate.

Out of Xia's yard.

Xia Yunbai then said, "Ruxuan, your grandfather has passed away. You are already twenty-three years old this year and are no longer a child. I think it should be time to explain some things to you. I originally thought it was the time to explain them clearly to you.

Grandpa meant that these things would end when we stop in our generation. Don’t mention them, but I think the meaning is no longer great.”

Xia Ruxuan nodded and had been mentally prepared. In fact, Xia Yunbai would decide to speak, but more because Xia Ruxuan's achievements have completely surpassed him. This is the most proud thing in his life.

"When you were a child, I told you that the Xia family was once a great master in southern Jiangsu during the Republic of China. After the storm and changes in the last century, your grandfather re-carried the glory of the past - this sentence

It's always simple, but do you know how your grandfather did it?" Xia Yunbai looked at Xia Ruxuan with calm eyes.

"Qinghong." Xia Ruxuan said two words calmly, but it made Xia Yunbai's eyes suddenly change. Seeing his changes, Xia Ruxuan said calmly, "I have an agreement with the Morelo family. This is what Mr. Allen mentioned to me.

He only mentioned Qinghong and knew nothing about what happened next." He heard that Xia Yunbai nodded.

"The name Qinghong has completely disappeared from the eyes of the public and has become a deformed circle of the top leaders of the Republic." Xia Yunbai whispered, "Even, the Xia family, which is supported and protected by your grandfather alone, is also a deformed one.

Exist. Because we do not have any background and spread of the dazzling Xia family in the Republic of China in the past. During the Republic of China, Qinghong was also the largest gang in the country, with its power spread all over the country. At that time, Qinghong had three leading ones.

Rogue tycoon, you may have heard of these three names, but the history you hear now is just a product made up by the winners back then. You only need to know that in that era these three people had a huge power - Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, and

There is Zhang Xiaolin.

Among the three tycoons, there is a saying that "Huang Jinrong is greedy for money, Zhang Xiaolin is good at beating, and Du Yuesheng is good at being a human being". However, Huang Jinrong, who is greedy for money, did too many evil things, and after the founding of the Republic, he was very tragic; Zhang Xiaolin is brainless,

During the War of Resistance Against Japan, he became a traitor and was finally assassinated by his bodyguards, and his power had long been disbanded. Among these three, only Mr. Du Yuesheng was truly respected and died of illness in Hong Kong. He was also the only one who had no evil punishment after the city of the Republic.

The tycoon, and even Qinghong who is still there, are people around Mr. Du, and your grandfather was the one who followed Du Yuesheng's shopkeeper back then."

Xia Yunbai simply described the division of the forces at that time with just a few simple words.

"I have never been fortunate to meet Mr. Du Yuesheng. Your grandfather once said that Mr. Du was a capable man. He was clever but understanding in the business world, artful and famous, and was a famous figure in the country at that time. Your grandfather was famous all over the country.

It was also said that although Mr. Du was a gang manager like Qinghong, he was also a good person. Mr. Du stood up in the face of national crisis, presided over the work of the Red Cross General during the War of Resistance Against Japan, and rescued the Anti-Japanese War and were injured tens of thousands.

He even relied on his own energy to organize an armed force of ten thousand people and personally joined the war of resistance. However, in the end, he could only be as famous as the other two "villains", just because he chose the wrong master. He was not established in the Republic

When I returned to Taiwan with that person, I retreated to Hong Kong and never asked about the world.”

Xia Yunbai sighed and looked at Xia Ruxuan seriously, "He is your grandfather's only idol in his life, so he remembers Mr. Du's outfit while walking in the world and always demands himself like that. Mr. Du changed his traditional Qinghong's roughness.

The crazy dress was, but the four seasons were dressed in a long gown, gentle and gentle manner." Xia Yunbai paused, "When Mr. Du Yuesheng moved to Hong Kong at home, Qinghong's remaining power was still very large. In that era, the name Qinghong was

A phenomenon is like the long-term workers and short-term workers at the East China Sea Pier are looking for a place to rely on, and Qinghong people are all over the country. Therefore, even after the founding of the Republic, several big names at the top of the Hongta were strongly suppressed, but they did not completely clean up. That's it.

Only then will your grandfather have the opportunity to make a comeback with the Xia family."
