Finn Hou has been having a rough time these days. His father said he would send him abroad. Even his mother, who had always doted on him, stood by his father this time.
Finn Hou doesn't like to go abroad. When he was in middle school, he was sent to England for gold plating. As a result, he struggled for several years without even being able to speak the language. The arrogant British man didn't care what his father did. He suffered all kinds of discrimination in that British private aristocratic high school.
He just parked his car casually a few times, but the parking position was not quite right. The campus police of that private high school actually dared to lock the wheels of his new sports car with chains. The British are famous all over the world for their old-fashioned and exclusive personality. Several times when he went clubbing, he forgot to bring his driver's license to prove his age. As a result, the five-six-person British doorman dared to stop him from entering!
Are you kidding me? When Mr. Hou was hanging out in Beijing, he was surrounded by stars! Who can not, for the sake of the old man, bow his head respectfully to him and call him Young Master Hou? What kind of amusement park does he want to enter, what new things does he want to play, who dares to stop him from having fun?
Rules and laws, in Finn Hou's eyes, are just things that restrict ordinary people. For a person of his class and status, that is nothing!
In order not to go to England, Finn Hou had a complete quarrel with the old man. The old man scolded him for causing such a fuss over the car accident. Now even the entire Hou family couldn't stand it and had no choice but to send him abroad to avoid the limelight. Finn Hou felt that the old man's worries were unfounded. Is there anything that the family can't handle?
Public opinion? It can't eat people, it's just a bunch of netizens with nothing to do, just spitting on the Internet. Public Security High Court? We can't rush to the Hou family to arrest people, even if they had a hundred courages, they wouldn't dare!
After yelling at the old man, and knocking on the table and slapping the bench at his doting mother, Finn Hou stormed out of the door angrily, planning to sleep at his mistress Bella Cheng's house for the night.
Bella Cheng originally planned to go to the hotel tonight, but when she learned that Finn Hou was coming, she immediately canceled her original plan. She made a facial mask at home, took a flower bath, dressed up carefully, and waited for the young man to come.
Bella Cheng was a single woman living in Beijing with no money, no one, and no influence at first. It wasn't until she met Finn Hou that she slowly made her own world. Now that she is rich and has her own real estate, she has been living in the small apartment that Finn Hou gave her as a gift, which shows to a great extent that she is loyal and loves her old love.
Her residence is public among Finn Hou's circle of friends. His second-generation official friends often come and go here, and any inconvenient, secret and dirty matters are brought here to be resolved. Can normal people tolerate their living circumstances being so public? cannot. Only Bella Cheng endured it. Not only did she endure it, she was also happy to do so. Because this gave her a transcendent status in front of the second-generation officials, everyone was willing to give her face. Her meaning to Finn Hou is a little different from that of other Yingying Yanyan.
Bella Cheng had planned the time for Finn Hou to come over, but she didn't know that the young man was in a bad mood tonight. He drove a little faster and arrived ten minutes earlier than she expected. Bella Cheng was still in the bathroom when she walked in.
"The meals delivered by the hotel are all on the table! Eat something to cushion your stomach first!" Bella Cheng shouted loudly through the door in the bathroom, "I'll be out in a few minutes!"
Bella Cheng is no longer a 28-year-old girl. In recent years, she has become more diligent in beauty care. Finn Hou knew what was wrong with women, so he cursed and turned back to the restaurant with nothing to do.
At this moment, the doorbell rang, and Finn Hou asked angrily: "Who is it?"
"The hotel took out a dish, but one dish was missed! Does Mr. Cheng live here?"
This apartment was the place where Finn Hou gave away his woman several years ago, and it was indeed not high-end enough. In high-end communities, those delivering food and cleaning are not allowed to enter the building. They can only be released after being notified by the bodyguard by phone.
Finn Hou frowned, thinking about moving Bella Cheng to another place. Anyway, he came to live here often, so there was no need to wrong himself for a house.
Bella Cheng was still running water in the bathroom, not sure if it was to wash the facial mask or something else. Although Finn Hou was not in the habit of opening doors for others, it was obviously troublesome to call Bella Cheng out to open the door at this time. Finn Hou lazily took out the unlit cigarette from his mouth: "It's coming, it's coming."
When he stood up, his eyelids suddenly jumped wildly. In just a short moment, it was so fast that he had no time to feel irritated. He suddenly remembered the moment when he overtook a car while drunk and hit the migrant worker child. His eyelids suddenly jumped for no reason, and then something happened.
That moment was so fast that he couldn't even remember what it felt like when a car hit a human body. What remained in his memory was the sudden bump ------ it should have been caused by the bone breaking when the wheel ran over the human body. .
Finn Hou covered his eyelids and casually reached out to open the door.
Standing outside the door was a young man wearing a hotel uniform and a baseball cap, covering most of his face. Finn Hou felt that he looked familiar for no reason and couldn't help but ask: "You..."
This was the last word he spoke.
Because immediately afterwards, a bright horizontal light flashed in front of his eyes. This light was so cold and domineering that it completely cut his throat like lightning.
Finn Hou didn't even feel the pain. He just felt strange, why was he suddenly unable to make any sound while he was talking?
Blood spurted out from the broken throat like an arrow, and a large amount of air flow poured into the trachea. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
The fatal chill brought by the blade only now crawled down his spine to his brain, taking away his last bit of life. Until he slowly fell down with his eyes wide open, he could still hear the sound of water rushing from the bathroom.
At this moment, in a corner where no one saw, no one heard, and no one expected, Finn Hou, the arrogant young master of the Hou family, fell to the ground almost silently and refused to close his eyes.
He didn't even see who the person who killed him was.
While Kieran Han was having dinner, he was always thinking about going outside to call Theo Chu to see if he came home on time and if he was hanging out with others while he was away. But his father, his mother, his eldest brother and his sister-in-law were all present, and the commander and his wife kept asking him about things in the army, so it was really hard for him to leave the dining table and make a phone call.
Kieran Han could only keep silent and use simple words such as "um", "yes" and "remember" to deal with his mother.
The commander's wife actually had nothing to say to her second son, and she didn't understand things in the army. She only knew that a military project in Nujiang was over, Kieran Han was temporarily transferred back to Beijing, and the Military Commission would make arrangements in a few months. She didn't have to worry about Kieran Han's life since he was a child, and she couldn't find anything to ask, so after a few words of concern, she had nothing to say and had to shut up.
Commander Han asked some questions about the Nu River, and then said: "When you come back this time, don't walk around or touch people randomly, and keep the confidentiality regulations. Next year, when the troops stationed in Beijing change defenses, some people will be transferred to come up. I estimate that among them There is you."
Kieran Han nodded "Yeah".
Kieran Han's sister-in-law couldn't help but say something more: "Doesn't that mean that the second brother can live in Beijing permanently in the future? I wonder if the room upstairs should be cleaned. It will be more convenient for the second brother when he comes back to live in the future... ..."
As soon as she said this, the whole family was embarrassed.
Han Qiang coughed quickly, "Xiao Ruo just got married and doesn't know anything about the family. The second brother doesn't usually live at home. Several of their buddies in the army have bought houses outside, and the areas are all connected together."
Speaking of the house, the commander's wife suddenly remembered something: "By the way, how come I heard that you are living with a male engineer outside?"
As soon as these words came out, the sister-in-law, who was not familiar with the situation of the Han family, was startled, her expression became even more sarcastic, and she couldn't help but glance at Kieran Han.
"You are at this age, you can have fun casually, but you must take the matter of getting married and starting a family seriously. Recently, several ladies in the city below have forwarded photos of their daughters to me. I have read them all one by one. There are a few Not bad. Take a look someday. If you like any of them, I'll ask them to come to Beijing to meet. "
The commander's wife said this with good intentions. Among the princelings in their group, the candidates for the main wife were decided in this way. Even if all the noble girls in Beijing are married off, they can still choose from the top leading families in local cities. In short, the most important four words are: well-matched.
This was how Kieran Han's sister-in-law Qi Xiaoruo was selected two years ago. The whole process was no different from that of a draft girl.
Kieran Han bit a piece of chicken bone in his mouth and said vaguely: "Let's see. This matter depends on fate."
"What kind of fate is this? Are you already destined to that man?" The commander's wife poked her finger at her second son's head, "Virtue!"
Kieran Han frowned but didn't answer. However, Commander Han saw his son's displeasure and knew a little about what his son had done to the engineer, so he stopped his wife in time: "Okay! Eating is just eating. It's not too late to talk about Kieran Han's matter!"
Kieran Han was not interested in eating the meal. The commander's wife's nagging made him unhappy, and his sister-in-law's strange looks made him want to get angry. After the dinner was finally over, Kieran Han walked to the yard alone, lit a cigarette, and prepared to call Theo Chu.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the fire was lit, the sister-in-law came out in a hurry and said, "Second brother, mom is looking for you."
Kieran Han put out his cigarette without saying a word, turned around and entered the door.
His elder sister-in-law endured it, and seeing no one around, she couldn't help but ask: "Second brother, you...are you really with a man?"
Kieran Han turned his head and stared at his sister-in-law for a while, then said coldly: "If the boss has something outside, do you dare to ask like this?"
The elder sister-in-law was startled and involuntarily stepped back half a step, watching Kieran Han walk in without looking back.
The commander's wife went to great lengths to urge the old man to call Kieran Han back. Sure enough, she had something to say.
This matter is still about Kieran Han's careless eldest brother Han Qiang. Although Han Qiang went to school step by step according to his parents' expectations, he did not achieve anything good after all. Later, the commander's wife made the decision and sent him abroad to study. Although he came back gold-plated, he hit and killed two people on the street because of careless driving as soon as he returned home.
The Han family was in an uproar over this matter. Commander Han has always been upright and wanted to beat his eldest son to death with a belt; Kieran Han was not close to his family to begin with, and he had a bad temper. Not only did he not persuade his father, he also added fuel to the fire and added insult to injury.
In order to save her eldest son, the commander's wife lost countless hairs and even developed high blood pressure. Fortunately, her efforts were fruitful. Although Commander Han was reluctant in every possible way, he finally sold his favor through his old subordinates. She also found Kieran Han's best friend in the High Court, bribed witnesses and physical evidence, and finally exonerated Han Qiang. freed.
However, after people were released, their future became a big problem again. Han Qiang originally wanted to pursue an official career, but after this incident, the promotion process was slowed down, and it became a matter of suspense as to what position he would be able to reach in the future. Han Qiang was a man who could not bear to be wronged. He went into business out of anger, just like many princelings who relied on family power to run the business world, gearing up to do something big.
Who would have known that doing business is not that easy. Han Qiang was used to taking things easy in the first twenty years of his life. He had no specific concept of money circulation and was not good at mundane details such as interpersonal relationships and customer relations. The jewelry company he opened fell into trouble within a few months due to poor management, and it owed bank debts and was unable to repay them. Fortunately, the Han family has a strong financial background, otherwise Han Qiang would be in big trouble again.
The commander's wife called Kieran Han back this time because she wanted him to help the boss and find an easy and lucrative future for Han Qiang through connections, or simply get him to work in the munitions department.
Kieran Han frowned and listened to his mother's ramblings. He was silent for a while and then said: "The Military Supplies Department is not that easy to get into. You can see that Rowan Hou is doing well at work. That's because Rowan Hou has a smooth personality and a cautious tongue. The boss is now Wuchen's personality is probably not suitable for him. If something happens in the munitions department, I won't be able to hold him back. "
"Then you can just watch your eldest brother have no choice but to have no reliable future?" The commander's wife became angry and said with a straight face: "Every one of you has a great future, and I am also relieved, but only The boss really makes me unable to close my eyes! You are the boss's biological brother, and you are not even willing to help him. How can I, a mother, go on the road with peace of mind after a hundred years? "
Kieran Han listened silently without saying a word.
"In short, regardless of whether it works or not, you need to contact someone first! If Han Qiang doesn't do well, he will still have his father, and me too! I can't drag you down!"
Kieran Han shook his head and said, "It's not that easy to contact people."
"What's so difficult? Do you still think mom doesn't know anything?" The commander's wife said she was getting angry again, but she endured it before softening her tone: "I heard your dad say that when the engineer disobeyed you, You just said a few words, and people rushed to help you get a death certificate. Kieran Han, Mom knows that you are capable now. As long as you help people in the munitions department, why don't they rush to help you? "
The commander's wife wiped the corners of her eyes, with a bit of sadness on her face: "Look, your aunt has never asked you for anything since you were a child, and she has never cared about you. If you are willing to fool around with men outside, I will too." I'm not like those unenlightened parents who scolded you and embarrassed you. The thing Mom is asking you for now is about your biological eldest brother. Are you not willing to do this little favor? "
Having said that, it is obvious that I can’t push it away. Kieran Han frowned, stood up after a while and said, "Let's talk about it later. ------I'll give you an answer in two days."
The commander's wife knew that he was acquiescing when he said this, and she couldn't help but feel happy, and there was a hint of relief on her face: "That's good, that's good... Mom, if this is for you, wait until your dad follows After the two of us die, who else in this world can we rely on? Can't it be just you two brothers who can support each other..."
Kieran Han strode out of his mother's small reception room. Although his face was expressionless, everyone could feel the low pressure around him. Everyone could feel that the second young master, who was famous for his quick temper, was unhappy and was holding back his emotions. A burst of fire.
The sister-in-law was still waiting outside. She was about to say something, but when she saw Kieran Han's eyes, she immediately closed her mouth and stepped aside.
Kieran Han walked straight out of the room, came to the yard, lit up his cigarette and took two long puffs. Nicotine temporarily suppressed the impatience and irritability in his blood, and then he took out his cell phone and wanted to call Theo Chu.
He really wanted to hear Theo Chu's voice at this moment, confirming that this person was still in his grasp, and that he was still in a place where he could grab him as long as he stretched out his hand.
Who knew that after dialing the number, the phone rang for a long time and no one answered until it automatically hung up.
Kieran Han called again, but Theo Chu still didn't answer. He thought that Theo Chu's cell phone was not with him at this time, so he called his home landline, but after two or three consecutive calls, the call was automatically answered.
"Hello, I'm Theo Chu. I'm not at home at the moment, or I can't answer the phone. Please leave your name and number after the beep, and I will call back as soon as possible..."
Kieran Han slammed his phone shut with a bang, his expression so terrifying that it made people shudder.
It happened that Kieran Han's old nanny from childhood was passing by with soup. She stopped worriedly and asked, "Second Young Master, are you okay?"
"...It's okay." Kieran Han shook his head and suddenly strode out the door: "Tell the old man that I left something at home. I'll go back and pick it up before I come back."
