Chapter 1354: Chapter 1352: The Decision
Yang Chen looked at Chen Siyan, who was still somewhat afraid of him, and said in a deep voice, "Remember! Your good manners shouldn’t just be displayed to outsiders, they should be shown to your family, your friends, all the people closest to you. Your good temper should also be reserved for your family and loved ones, not wasted on useless people, turning around to vent your anger on your family! Patience and understanding should be given more to them, as should tolerance and kind words, because only they are truly willing to selflessly give to you!"
Chen Siyan nodded thoughtfully.
When the two came back, neither dared look Yang Chen directly in the eye.
The two hesitated for a long time, finally gathered up the courage, stood in front of Yang Chen, and said in a deep voice, "Boss! We’re sorry! We were wrong!"
Yang Chen gave them a deep look, "You don’t need to admit your mistakes to me, you should look at each other and see if you should apologize to each other! After all, the person standing in front of you once was willing to take a bullet for you! Yet now you use fists against him!"
Their faces froze, full of regret, they turned around and looked at each other.
"I’m sorry!" The two of them said, tears brimming in their eyes, full of remorse and self-blame.
Hearing each other’s apology, they both smiled with relief, gave each other a big hug, and said in a deep voice, "Good brothers!"
Between brothers, once everything is said, it’s all okay.
At this moment, the two finally understood how precious their bond was.
"Brother, I’m sorry. I drank too much and said things I shouldn’t have!" Night Fire said in a deep voice.
Gao Hong shook his head, wiped his tears, regretting, "I know how much you all have given for me, how much you’ve endured for me, it’s me who’s a fool, always thinking you owe me! Actually, I’m the one who owes you all, I’m a fool!"
Night Fire patted Gao Hong’s shoulder and said, "There’s nothing about owing or not between us, good brothers for life! Your enemy is our enemy! One day, we will uproot the serpent!"
Yang Chen nodded slowly, said to the two, "It’s enough that you have this in your hearts! Gao Hong, hate might make people spirited, but it can also trap people within. I hope you don’t let hate blind you. It’s been so many years, you haven’t let it go, I hope you can truly let go of the hatred! Letting go doesn’t mean forgetting, you need to have your own life and not be affected by hatred! I think even the spirit of your family wouldn’t want to see you like this. Let go of the hatred, wait until we find the serpent, then you can pick it back up. I promise, at that time, go crazy however you want with revenge! I absolutely won’t stop you, not only won’t I stop you, I will help you!"
Gao Hong looked at Yang Chen gratefully, "I understand! Thank you, boss!"
Yang Chen waved it off, "No need to say such polite words between brothers, you two have drunk quite a bit, go back to the dormitory and rest!"
"Yes!"
The two left the courtyard.
Yang Chen knew the two had more to say.
Chen Siyan watched the two leave, blinked her eyes, and said to Yang Chen, "Brother, I think I understand now."
Yang Chen looked at Chen Siyan with some amusement and asked, "What do you understand?"
"You hit them, actually for their own good, not wanting them to fall out. By provoking them, you made their relationship closer!" Chen Siyan said with an understanding look.
Yang Chen immediately waved his hands to dismiss her, "Go go go! Little girl, what do you know! Go rest!"
Chen Siyan stuck out her tongue, displeased, "You’re being a chauvinist! I don’t need an afternoon nap, I’m leaving! There’s still lots to do at the company!"
"Alright! Be safe on the road!"
"Don’t worry! Someone’s protecting me! Don’t think I don’t know you’ve been sending people to secretly watch over me!" Chen Siyan said proudly.
Yang Chen chuckled bitterly, shook his head helplessly, "This little girl!"
Chen Siyan left, and Yang Chen also got up to leave.
Picking up the car keys, Yang Chen left the security zone.
On the mountain.
The Martyrs’ Cemetery.
Yang Chen came to pay respects to Zhuo Jingyu.
After placing the offerings, Yang Chen lit two cigarettes.
Placed one on the tombstone, and one in his own mouth.
He took a deep puff, looked into the distance, eyes hazy, "You know, I already quit smoking."
A slight smile appeared on Yang Chen’s lips, "She told me that smoking would be bad for the baby when having kids in the future, I think... it’s time to quit, I should set an example for the children, shouldn’t I?"
Crushing the cigarette butt into the ground, Yang Chen found it amusing, "The wedding hasn’t even been held yet, and I’m already thinking about kids. Really, do you think I should seal the deal first before the ceremony? After all, finding such a good wife isn’t easy, right!"
Glancing at the tombstone, Yang Chen frowned, "You know, you weren’t young, why didn’t you get married and have a child or two, at least keep the Zhuo family lineage going."
Yang Chen mused.
"A brother from your Zhuo family seemed to want to be adopted over, but the old man didn’t have that intention, for your family members from the main branch, he seems to distance himself, barely interacting."
Unconsciously, Yang Chen lit another cigarette and took a deep drag.
Blowing out a thick cloud of smoke, Yang Chen shook his head helplessly, waggled the cigarette between his fingers, "I said I’d quit smoking, but I still light one up involuntarily, the rest are yours!"
Yang Chen threw all the cigarettes into the flames.
"Don’t worry, I won’t let the Zhuo family line die out, I’ll also take care of the old man, rest assured!"
"I always remember what you once told me... I’ll try my best to fulfill it, rest assured!"
...
Yang Chen muttered to himself.
Finishing a cigarette, Yang Chen threw the cigarette butt on the ground and crushed it.
"Alright then! Came here to get my smoke fix, from now on can’t smoke anymore, I’m leaving! Don’t worry, everything’s fine!"
Saying that, Yang Chen waved his hand and slowly left.
The afternoon at the Martyrs’ Cemetery felt particularly quiet.
The sunlight streamed down, lacking the eeriness a cemetery should have, instead offering a slight warmth.
The next day.
Yang Chen was preparing to leave.
He could only stay in Ningchuan for one day.
Gao Hong, knowing Yang Chen was leaving, brought his things and rushed over.
Yang Chen looked at him and said faintly, "What are you doing?"
"I want to go with you!" Gao Hong stated firmly, "I don’t want to stay here wasting away any longer! Staying here is no different from retirement! I want to follow you! Only by following you can I become stronger!"
Yang Chen frowned, "This is the Flame Country, there’s no battlefield, I can’t train you!"
"No!" Gao Hong said firmly, "I believe you can! I can see, Night Fire has become much more formidable than before, if he can, so can I! I must follow you! Only by following you can I become stronger! Only then will I have the hope of revenge! I don’t want that day to come and rely on you to catch people for me to cut watermelons! I also want to go to the battlefield myself!"
Yang Chen said, "The reason Night Fire is so strong is because he came by it through innumerable brushes with death on the battlefield!"
"Then I want that kind of experience too! Here, I have no opportunity!" Gao Hong was very determined!
