Chapter four hundred and ninety eight enemy attack(1/2)

Sparrow has never been so entangled. Since Cheng Yufei was released from bail, she has been rejected several times when she applied for meeting. Sparrow is increasingly worried about Cheng Yufei's safety. At this time, the news from Manchuria has also been confirmed that Uncle Fu has indeed passed away. With the relationship between her and Uncle Fu, she should have gone back to attend the funeral and mourning as soon as possible, but now Cheng Yufei's life and death are unknown, how can she let go of the matter here? If she also left Huangpu, I'm afraid Cheng Yufei would be really isolated and helpless.

After thinking about it, Sparrow decided to have a good talk with Chen Haodong. Everything started with Chen Haodong's appearance. As long as Chen Haodong was willing to stop, she could make concessions.

Chen Haodong had long expected that the sparrow would come to visit him, but he was not surprised. When the sparrow came to visit, a well-known tailor in Huangpu was measuring Chen Haodong's figure, and Chen Haodong asked the sparrow to sit first.

The sparrow sat down on the sofa, her eyes attracted by the portrait of a beautiful woman on the wall. From the painting, it seemed that this girl was not very old, with a pretty face and elegant temperament. She should be a lady from a noble family.

Chen Haodong measured his clothes, asked the housekeeper to get a deposit for the tailor, and sat down next to the sparrow. The servant brought the coffee he had just made. Chen Haodong smiled and said, "Try my coffee."

The sparrow realized that he should have been responding to his cold greeting to him a few days ago. The sparrow tasted a sip of coffee. The coffee was indeed good, fragrant and strong. The sparrow said, "Actually, I don't like drinking coffee."

Chen Haodong said: "Whether you like it or not, I will bring out my favorite things to entertain you."

Sparrow said: "I'll come to you today..."

Chen Haodong interrupted her without waiting for her to finish her words and said, "How is this painting? Give me some advice."

Sparrow said: "I don't know much about oil painting."

Chen Haodongdao: "Then I would like to give some advice to the people in the painting."

The sparrow said: "The person in the painting?"

Chen Haodong nodded and said, "My fiancée, Jiang Yunxiu!"

Sparrow said: "It's very beautiful, congratulations."

Chen Haodong said: "You may not have seen her before, but you must know her father Jiang Shaoxiong."

The sparrow was shocked. Could it be that Jiang Shaoxiong was the rumored governor of Huangpu? Chen Haodong obviously would not mention this matter for no reason. He had his own purpose and was clearly demonstrating to himself. The sparrow nodded and said, "It seems that you have found a wife of a good match."

Chen Haodong laughed, "It's strange!" He was from a thief. Even though his father was the leader of the thief, he could not be called a prominent family. His future father-in-law Jiang Shaoxiong was a famous general, and the sparrow was obviously mocking him.

Chen Haodong said: "She is very good to me."

Sparrow said: "Although I have never seen her, I believe she is a very good girl."

Chen Haodong said: "It's rare to hear a few words you say to me. Is there anything I want to help?"

Sparrow said: "I came to you to ask you what you really think."

Chen Haodong laughed and said, "When did you start to care about my thoughts?"

Sparrow said: "I know you have always been upset about what happened back then, but Cheng Yufei has nothing to do with this matter. Would you please let her go?"

The smile on Chen Haodong's face suddenly disappeared: "I don't know what you are talking about?"

Sparrow said: "You know it well. If you hate me, you can deal with me directly. Why should you target Yu Fei?"

Chen Haodong said: "Sparrow, after all, we met each other. I have never regarded you as my enemy. Even if you have done many things that have done to me and hurt me, yes! I admit that I still can't let go of the things I did back then. What would you do if you were you? My father is the leader of the thief sect, and the position of the leader of the sect should be mine! I have trusted you so much, and you actually helped Luo Lie, that outsider, deal with me. You teamed up to frame me!"

The sparrow said: "There is someone else who harmed you." In her opinion, if Chen Haodong had not been bewitched by Zheng Wanren, he would not have gone astray and ended up being betrayed by everyone.

Chen Haodong said: "The person you mentioned is dead, and everyone who has harmed me will die!" He widened his eyes and said viciously.

The sparrow bit her lip, and she realized that she had been wrong. People like Chen Haodong didn't know what tolerance and concession meant. He was blindfolded by hatred. The sparrow said: "I came to you today, not because I was afraid of you, but because I wanted to tell you in person that I would not let your plan succeed."

Chen Haodong said: "In your eyes, I have never been a good person. Do you like Luo Lie? Do you ask him to help you? It's a pity that he died too. Do you like him so much? Do you know what he knows? It's a pity that he doesn't like you. He likes Ye Qinghong."

The sparrow raised his hand and hit Chen Haodong, but Chen Haodong grabbed his wrist. Chen Haodong grabbed it so hard that the sparrow felt that his bones were almost crushed.

Chen Haodong gritted his teeth and said, "I will let you taste the taste of losing everything!"

Sparrow would not let Chen Haodong succeed. Even if she was trying to die with him, after leaving Chen Haodong's residence, Sparrow calmly considered this matter. She had previously held the fantasy of giving in exchange for peace. Now all her fantasies have been shattered, and reality is so cruel.

When Sparrow returned to her door, someone was waiting for her in the cold wind. It seemed that she had been waiting for a long time. Sparrow recognized that this person was Chang Chai's subordinate and Ahui, a member of the Huangpu branch of the Thieves' Sect. Ahui met him when he saw Sparrow's car coming. Sparrow was not in a hurry to get off the car. The recent incident made her become alert to anything: "Look for me?"

Ah Hui nodded affirmatively and said, "Miss Ma, Mr. Chang is missing."

On the way back, Sparrow thought about uniting all the forces that could be united, including Chang Chai. Although Chang Chai had a negative attitude of not being concerned about Cheng Yufei's affairs, reality could not allow him to escape. Chen Haodong came to Huangpu, and Chen Haodong had already made a statement that he wanted to take back everything he had lost, which should include the thief.

The sparrow got out of the car and invited Ah Hui to his home.

Ah Hui told the Maqu about the incident with an anxious look. Chang Chai had been missing for three days. He originally thought he had gone to Yingkou to attend the funeral, but according to the urgent telegram from Yingkou, he still had not arrived. Not only him, but all the people who were traveling with him had not arrived, so Ah Hui came to find Maqu, but in fact he was just thinking of giving it a chance.

After hearing him, Maqu realized that this was not good. He intuitively felt that Chang Chai's disappearance must be related to Chen Haodong. She thought for a while and said, "Do you know what Chen Haodong has returned to Huangpu?"

Ah Hui shook his head, but the expression on his face became solemn.

Sparrow said: "He has been back for a few days, but I suspect this matter has something to do with him."

Ah Hui said: "Since Mr. Chang is not here, I'd better ask someone to go to other places as soon as possible, hoping that he will be in the world of heaven." Saying this proves that he also felt something was wrong.

When Sparrow sent Ah Hui out, a guest came to visit. Sparrow was surprised to see the visitor and said, "Brother Zhang, when did you arrive?"

Zhang Changgong's appearance is like a bright light in the dark night for the sparrow. Among their friends, except Luo Lie, Zhang Changgong should be the strongest in comprehensive strength. He is brave and calm. With him, he is equivalent to having a backbone.

Zhang Changgong didn't know Ah Hui, so he took a look, smiled and nodded at him, saying hello. This time he came not only to discuss countermeasures with the sparrow, but also informed the blind man of being safe.

When the sparrow heard the news, he was relieved: "I have been worried about him these two days. The police officers in the French Concession are looking for him everywhere, saying that he is the suspect who killed Li Yandong."

Zhang Changgong said: "The blind man did not kill anyone."

Of course, the sparrow believed in this. She sighed and said, "Everything was created by Chen Haodong. Now even Chang Chai, who is the Huangpu branch of the thief, has disappeared mysteriously. I doubt he has a good fortune."

Zhang Changgong said: "This situation must be ended as soon as possible, otherwise more people will be killed."

Sparrow nodded: "Brother Zhang, what are you going to do?"

Zhang Changgong said: "I have no plans and don't understand any major principles. I'm here this time to hear your opinions."

Sparrow said: "If you want to stop this situation as soon as possible, you must start from the root. As long as we can suppress Chen Haodong, these conspiracies against us will end."

Zhang Changgong said: "He should be prepared this time, and it may not be so easy to control him."

The sparrow bit his cherry lips and said decisively: "We can eradicate him!"

Zhang Changgong actually thought so too. The effective way to stop Chen Haodong from taking revenge in the shortest time is to kill the madman. He whispered: "We should do it together, what should we do!"

People often encounter confusion in their lives, and usually don’t know what they should do. Ye Qinghong is as smart as she can also encounter such troubles. Since Luo Lie left, she often faces the same problem. She feels that her future life is for this pair of children. When one day in the future, she will raise them to adulthood, and then she can go to Luo Lie without any worries.

I woke up from the middle of the night countless times, and then tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Ye Qinghong turned on the bedside lamp, looked at her son's cute little face on the small bed next to her, felt a little comforted, turned on the bedside lamp, and found her photo with Luo Lie. Everything seemed like yesterday.

Thinking of Luo Lie's voice, appearance and smile, Ye Qinghong couldn't suppress her inner sadness. Only at this time, when it was late at night, would she take off her strong disguise and leave tears of longing and come to the living room alone.

Still couldn't help looking at the photo, she whispered: "Do you know, you are really cruel, leave me and leave children, have you ever thought about what can you do if you lose you, even if you leave us the whole world? What does it mean to us?"

A crystal tears fell on the photo and just fell on Luo Lie's face. Ye Qinghong hurriedly wiped away the tears, but unexpectedly, Luo Lie's image began to fade quickly. Ye Qinghong thought she was wrong, so she blinked and found that Luo Lie's image had completely disappeared. Ye Qinghong couldn't help but become nervous. After she repeatedly confirmed that she had read it correctly, she immediately stood up to look for other albums. The reason why Ye Qinghong did this was because she had a terrible premonition.

Soon she discovered that her premonition was proven. In all the albums she carried with her, all the photos about Luo Lie were completely gone. Ye Qinghong was deeply shocked and stood there, her mind was blank. After half a minute, she woke up and rushed to look for other photos of Luo Lie. After all, this was in a hotel, and she couldn't find more photos of Luo Lie for a while.

Ye Qinghong thought of her son, and there was a photo of Luo Lie in the amulet of Ping An. Ye Qinghong picked up the protective pendant under her son's pillow with trembling hands. He opened the pendant and found that Luo Lie's image also disappeared from the photo. Ye Qinghong subconsciously covered her cherry lips, and a panic light appeared in her eyes. Luo Lie told her his secret calmly. It was because of this that Ye Qinghong felt scared. Even in the three years since Luo Lie left, she had never been as scared as she was now.

The disappearance of Luo Lie in the photo made her feel deeply frightened. No marks about Luo Lie can be found in the current photos. Could it be that Luo Lie will completely disappear from this world? Even if he has passed away, this situation should not happen. Will Luo Lie be completely removed from history? If history denies Luo Lie's existence, what about their children?

Ping'an was awakened by the movements around him. When he saw his frightened mother, he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and said timidly: "Mommy..."

Ye Qinghong reminded herself to calm down and urged in a low voice: "Hurry! Get dressed quickly, let's leave here."

Ping'an realized the danger from his mother's abnormal expression. He hurriedly put on his clothes. Ye Qinghong, who has always advocated his children's independence, has now refused to let go of his son for a moment, helped Ping'an put on his clothes and carried Ping'an up.

"Mommy, I'll go by myself."

Ye Qinghong hugged her son tightly: "Be good, don't talk."

The mother and son left the hotel, and Ye Qinghong drove straight to her home. She had not been to her home since she returned from Europe. One reason was that the current situation was complicated and she did not want to attract too many attention. The other reason was that every time she returned home, she saw things and thought of others, which aroused her longing for Luo Lie. However, what happened just now made Ye Qinghong feel very frightened. No images of Luo Lie could be found around her, and Luo Lie had disappeared in all the photos.

She wanted to return home as soon as possible, to this place that was once full of happy memories, hoping that what happened just now was just a coincidence.

When Ye Qinghong went to Europe, only Wu Ma and two other servants were taking care of her at home. The three were loyal to her. Although Wu Ma knew that Ye Qinghong and her son would come back, she did not expect that she would suddenly return in the middle of the night.

Seeing Ye Qinghong and his son, Wu Ma was so excited that she shed tears.

Ye Qinghong didn't bother to greet Wu Ma and went straight to the study. She found all the albums she could find, hoping to find a photo of Luo Lie. What disappointed her was that Luo Lie's photos disappeared like evaporating from the world.

Ye Qinghong's abnormal behavior scared Ping'an, and he said tremblingly: "Mommy...I...I'm afraid..."

Wu Ma comforted him and said, "Young Master, don't be afraid, mom is looking for something." She had never seen Ye Qinghong so panicked. She sorted out the messy photo album on the ground and accidentally saw a wedding photo of Ye Qinghong and Luo Lie. She was very familiar with this photo because there was an equally enlarged photo in the living room of the house, but only Ye Qinghong in a wedding dress was left in this photo, and Luo Lie disappeared from the photo.

Ye Qinghong searched all the albums and could no longer find any photos that belonged to Luo Lie. Her heart was shrouded in huge fear. Luo Lie disappeared, and she could no longer find the image that belonged to him.

Wu Ma understood something from Ye Qinghong's actions and reminded Ye Qinghong: "Madam, there is a portrait in the studio!"

After she reminded him, Ye Qinghong remembered that she had painted a portrait for Luo Lie. She quickly walked to the studio, turned on the lamp, and saw the painting still on the easel. The painting was not completed. This painting was painted by Luo Lie before Luo Lie left, but because of her distracted mood, it was not completed until Luo Lie left.

After Luo Lie left, Ye Qinghong picked up his pen several times and wanted to complete the painting, but he gave up every time.

Most of the paintings have been completed. Except for the details of the clothes and background, the others have been basically completed. Luo Lie in the portrait is elegant and extraordinary. Ye Qinghong has a deep foundation in painting. This painting captures Luo Lie's characteristics well, and can be said to be both physical and spiritual.

Seeing this painting, Ye Qinghong burst into tears. Luo Lie did not disappear. He was still there. This painting proves it.

Wu Ma hugged Xiao Ping'an and rushed to the studio. Seeing the painting, Wu Ma was relieved. Xiao Ping'an pointed to the portrait and said, "Dad, Dad!"

Ye Qinghong nodded, came to the portrait, stretched out her fingers and gently touched Luo Lie's face, as if she felt Luo Lie back to her side. Ye Qinghong closed her eyes, and two lines of tears slid down her bright cheeks. She rolled up the unfinished oil painting and wiped away the tears on her back.

After all, Xiao Ping'an in Wu Ma's arms was young, so he had already fallen asleep in Wu Ma's arms.

Wu Ma said: "Madam, I'll go and tidy up the room, so you can rest early."

Ye Qinghong took her son from Wu Ma's arms and returned to the bedroom. In fact, Wu Ma would clean the room almost every day and wait for her arrival at any time.

Ye Qinghong put his son on the small bed and said to Wu Ma: "It's getting late, so you can go to bed too."

Wu Ma smiled and said, "I'm old and I'm sleeping less. Madam, do you need to have a midnight snack?"
