Chapter 1463
Chen Dong left the room and went to the hotel lobby to take his seat.
A cigarette burned one after another and smoke danced around.
He wasn’t worried about Zhang Lidong’s affairs, Zhuge Qing would take care of everything.
It was his father-in-law and mother-in-law that were the gloom hanging over his head at the moment.
The thing he had been worried about had finally happened!
It had come so suddenly, and at such a crucial moment!
He had planned all this so that his loved ones could enter a relatively safer environment, but he had been a step too late!
In the smoke, Chen Dong looked despondent and gloomy, as if the short journey from the hotel room to the lobby had aged him by more than ten years.
With a cigarette in his mouth, he leaned back in his chair, lost in thought.
His thoughts were in a tangled mess, making it difficult for him to really sink his mind into his problems, and he could only rely on the nicotine to keep his mind in turmoil at the moment.
He waited for half an hour.
Zhuge Qing walked up to Chen Dong and looking at his appearance, he could not help but have his pupils shrink and was a little shocked.
“Mr. Chen, it’s all taken care of.”
“Hmm.”
Chen Dong propped his hands on his knees as if he was using all his strength before he slowly stood up, “You go to Dingtai, I’ll go home and take a rest, I’m a bit tired.”
Zhuge Qing stood in place, watching Chen Dong leave.
In his line of sight, Chen Dong’s body was rarely hunched over, even from a distance, he could make Zhuge Qing feel that sense of exhaustion from the inside out.
Tianmen Mountain Villa.
Gu Qingying was pruning flower branches in the garden with Fan Lu.
Wu Chang was sitting on a swing not far away, knitting a jumper.
Zhao Broke-Ru, on the other hand, was lying bored on the lawn, holding a dog-tailed gra*s in his mouth and resting with his eyes closed.
Everything seemed extraordinarily peaceful and quiet.
It was as if nothing from the outside world could invade this part of the world.
Suddenly.
“Ah!”
The resting Zhao Bailu suddenly opened his eyes and sat up.
This scream.
It instantly attracted the sight of Gu Qingying, Fan Lu and Wu Chang.
The three of them were all a bit stunned to see Zhao Broke-Ru panting and terrified.
Gu Qingying asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, it’s nothing, I had a nightmare.”
Zhao Brocade waved his hands, rubbed his face with both hands, and slowly got up and walked towards the villa.
The three of them looked at each other, but did not take it seriously.
He went into the villa, went straight into the bathroom, turned on the cool water and splashed a handful of cool water on his face, which made him feel better.
He looked up at himself in the mirror and said, “When is this nightmare going to end?”
On the other side.
Chen Dong dragged his exhausted body out of the car.
Gu Qingying and Fan Lu greeted the car, and when they saw Chen Dong’s exhausted and haggard appearance, both of them were a little worried.
“Honey …… what happened?”
Chen Dong pulled the corners of his mouth and forced a smile, “Nothing, the company’s affairs are almost arranged, so I’ll leave it to Zhuge Qing and the others, I’m a bit tired and came back from work early to take a rest.”
“Look at you, you’re so tired, only then do you know how to rest.”
Gu Qingying scolded, then she took Chen Dong’s hand and walked towards the villa, while saying to Fan Lu and Wu Chang, “Sister Xiao Lu, Auntie Wu Chang, please help me boil some ginseng soup.”
“No need, I’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep.”
Chen Dong waved his hand and refused.
“Mr. Chen, have some to replenish your vital energy, you are full of qi and blood, but you have endured this bout, you should replenish it too.”
Changeless argued.
“Alright, just listen to Auntie Impermanence.”
Gu Qingying patted Chen Dong’s back.
The life that Chen Dong had been going through every day since he had announced the promotion of the southwest region, everyone had seen it in their eyes, and the pressure that they had endured was more than they dared to imagine.
After all, everyone was worried about whether things would work or not.
And while Chen Dong was worried about whether things would work out, he was still the leader, holding everyone’s lifeline!
Chen Dong laughed and stopped arguing.
When he returned to the bedroom, he didn’t wash up either and took off his clothes and lay down on the bed.
Gu Qingying didn’t bother and went to work on making ginseng soup for Chen Dong.
Inside the house, it was quiet.
The curtains had been drawn and it was dimly lit.
But Chen Dong looked at the ceiling, but had no intention of sleeping.
“How exactly should this game …… be broken?”
The lips and teeth were lightly opened and an unmistakable mournful murmuring sound was made.
It was impossible for him to ignore the safety of his father-in-law and mother-in-law.
But where exactly is the person now?
And who exactly was directing Zhang Lidong?
If we don’t pry Zhang Lidong’s mouth open as soon as possible to ensure the safety of his parents-in-law, what will change in the two short days that follow, even Chen Dong can’t speculate.
The situation …… might even be like an avalanche, collapsing directly towards a desperate purgatory!
The complicated thoughts that filled his mind.
The troubled mind made Chen Dong feel like his chest was stuffed with rocks and blocked up badly.
The door to the room opened gently.
Gu Qingying walked in carrying ginseng soup: “Drink the ginseng soup and take a quick rest.”
Chen Dong looked at Gu Qingying in a complicated manner, but did not dare to spill out the truth.
Noticing the difference in Chen Dong’s eyes.
Gu Qingying asked uncertainly, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, thank you wife.”
Chen Dong took the ginseng soup and drank it all in one go, then he carefully rested his head on Gu Qingying’s legs, his face to Gu Qingying’s stomach, motionless and silent.
“Big fool, you’re not tired, are you? What’s bothering you, tell me, okay?”
Gu Qingying sensed that something was wrong with Chen Dong and gently stroked Chen Dong’s head in distress.
She knew Chen Dong, the look of Chen Dong in front of her was not at all something that could be fully described by a single sentence of being tired.
“I was thinking, what will our baby’s name be in the future?”
Chen Dong turned his words around, intending to digress from the topic.
He did not intend to let Gu Qingying know until the matter was conclusive, the matter of his father-in-law and mother-in-law was a great shock to Gu Qingying, and he had to consider Gu Qingying’s body and the baby in his stomach.
“Just worried about this?”
Gu Qingying lowered her head and locked gazes with Chen Dong.
The four eyes met and there was silence for a few seconds.
Gu Qingying suddenly said in a lost voice, “Husband, I find that you have changed.”
“Where has it changed?”
Chen Dong was puzzled.
Gu Qingying frowned lostly and said, “I don’t know when, but I can’t see your joy, anger and sadness from your eyes anymore, and your eyes are not as radiant as they used to be, they can already hide it from me.”
Chen Dong was stunned.
Gu Qingying’s words were like sharp needles burning red, stabbing him in the heart.
For a moment, Chen Dong’s heart was so mixed up that it was hard to describe.
“Alright, it’s alright, I’ve thought of a name, will you listen to it?”
Chen Dong did not continue on this topic and turned to say, “Ningen, Chen Ningen, okay?”
“Ningen?”
Gu Qingying pondered for a moment, her agate nose slightly wrinkled as she gazed closely at Chen Dong.
After waiting for a few seconds, Gu Qingying didn’t even respond again.
“What’s wrong, is it not good?”
Chen Dong asked with some concern.
“It sounds good, but it’s a girl’s name, what if it’s a boy?”
Gu Qingying scolded, “You’re so biased as a father, aren’t you? Do you prefer girls to boys?”
“Then I don’t care, I like daughters.”
Chen Dong smiled spontaneously, the boredom in his heart seemed to be lessened by a few points: “I want my daughter to be as beautiful and gentle as you are in the future, serene and blessed by the grace of heaven ……”
Chapter 1464
It was late afternoon.
The outside world’s storm changed dramatically as Chen Dong secretly collected land.
Of course, for such a short time, the stormy public opinion was confined to the gentry and giants.
The whole day was spent.
The gentry and giants of the world had turned from previously hanging auctions to sell off their land, to a roaring change to withdrawing, or even frantically encroaching on the rest of the land that was too late to withdraw.
In one day’s time, the land market in the entire south-western region was the most naked and bloody battle.
There was no hint of winding, there was only the simple and brutal crushing of capital.
The weak and the strong are eating the strong, in the best sense of the word!
And all this was no big deal to Chen Dong and the others.
When Elder Long, Zhuge Qing, Chu Reed and Jiang Qilin dragged their tired bodies back to the Tianmen Mountain Villa.
Fan Lu and Wu Chang had already set up a table of delicacies and delicacies.
“Where’s Mr. Chen?”
Zhuge Qing couldn’t help but inquire as he thought about what had happened during the day.
“Resting upstairs.”
Fan Lu raised her eyes and saw that Zhuge Qing’s face did not look right and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“No, nothing.”
Zhuge Qing shook his head, smiled sarcastically and avoided Fan Lu’s gaze.
After everyone had listed and sat down.
Chen Dong and Gu Qingying also walked down from upstairs.
“Mr. Chen.”
“Young master.”
All of them spoke in unison, greeting each other with a salute.
“Everyone has worked hard, there is no need to be formal about these manners at home.”
Chen Dong waved his hand, but his gaze fell on Zhuge Qing’s body.
Noticing Chen Dong’s gaze, Zhuge Qing glanced at each other and instantly understood, secretly nodding to Chen Dong.
Only then did Chen Dong let out a sigh of relief.
He did not intend to tell Gu Qingying about his father-in-law and mother-in-law yet.
He was not willing to drag the pregnant Gu Qingying into this big scare until the last moment.
“Where is that brat Zhao Brezhong?”
After taking his seat, Chen Dong swept a glance at the crowd, his brows slightly wrinkled.
“That brat is hiding something in his heart, he just said he wouldn’t come down for dinner.”
Changeless spoke in an ominous manner.
Chen Dong and Elder Long glanced at each other, somewhat helpless.
This matter …… was afraid that it would not be revealed in Changeless’ heart.
After a tiring day, Zhuge Qing and the others had long been hungry, so they started to eat.
The people chatted during the meal, and Long Lao and others reported to Chen Dong what happened during the day, including the tragic killings at the land market.
These were all things that Chen Dong had expected, but he did not care how badly the giants had killed each other, what he wanted was for his plan to progress steadily.
As long as his aim was achieved, the rest was a trivial matter.
However, during the dinner, Chen Dong clearly felt that Elder Long, Zhuge Qing and Chu Reed were always a bit faint-hearted and frowning.
He knew exactly what the three were worried about.
But he had no intention of talking about it at the dinner table.
Waiting until dinner was over.
Only then did Chen Dong call the three and Jiang Qilin up to the rooftop.
Once the four were on the rooftop, he went upstairs and walked to Zhao Broken’s door.
Knock, knock, knock!
Chen Dong knocked on the door.
After waiting for a while, there was no response from inside the house.
“Did it go out?”
Chen Dong frowned and murmured.
To this day, it was an indisputable fact that Zhao Broke-Ru was hiding the secret of the Thief Saint Xu Qingfeng in his heart.
Last time when Impermanence had pressed Zhao Breru, he had mediated and favoured Zhao Breru in order to balance the relationship between the two sides.
It did not matter whether it was Zhao Breru or Impermanence.
When he did not know the other side thoroughly, Chen Dong always felt that it was wisest to keep a distance.
You cannot harm others, but you cannot prevent others from harming you!
Even so far, no matter if it was Zhao Broke-Ru or Changeless, or the Thief Sage Xu Qingfeng or Chen Daojun, what they had shown was all in his favour!
After waiting for a few more seconds, within the room, there was still no response.
Chen Dong hesitated for a moment, raised his hand and pressed it against the door, and with a gentle push, the door opened.
The door to the room was not locked.
The room was also dimly lit.
When he stepped inside, Chen Dong was stunned.
Zhao Broke had not left and was sleeping on the bed at the moment.
The bedside lamp was on and the dim light shone on his face. His brows were knitted together, his head was sweating profusely, and he was mumbling and wailing incessantly, obviously in pain.
What was going on here?
Chen Dong quickly walked up to Zhao Breru and shouted in a deep voice, “Zhao Breru!”
The beads of sweat oozing from his forehead were like broken pearls, dripping down.
Even Chen Dong could vaguely distinguish that tears were seeping from the corners of Zhao Zhaogru’s eyes!
A nightmare?
Chen Dong grabbed Zhao Breru’s shoulders and shook them while calling out.
After shouting many times in a row, Zhao Breru did not wake up.
Chen Dong’s brows were furrowed and he was a little anxious.
Anyone had nightmares.
But nightmares did not last long, and the dreamer would be awakened.
But something like Zhao Breru, who had fallen straight into a nightmare and couldn’t even wake up from screaming, was just too bizarre!
Just when Chen Dong was thinking of other ways.
“Ah!”
The Zhao Broke-Ru on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and a startled cry escaped from his mouth.
A whirlwind.
Zhao Broke-Ru’s body was visibly limp on the bed, as if he had been emptied of his strength, like a puddle of mud.
And his chest was heaving violently, with a breathing sound like a torn bellows coming out of his mouth and nose.
His eyes were wide open, staring straight at the ceiling, as if he did not even notice Chen Dong who was sitting on the edge of the bed.
This scene made the back of Chen Dong’s body shiver.
Chen Dong couldn’t help but call out, “Zhao Baolu!”
Zhao Broke-Ru’s body trembled for a moment, his lax pupils gradually regaining focus, slowly turning his head sideways, he was first surprised to see Chen Dong, and then smiled weakly.
“Brother Dong, when did you come in?”
“You didn’t go down for dinner, I was worried about you, so I came to take a look.”
Chen Dong explained, “What kind of dream are you kid having? I couldn’t wake you up no matter how much I screamed just now!”
“Huh?”
Zhao Broke-Ru let out a startled cry.
The next second.
He scratched his head and revealed a naive smile, “How can I say this out loud?”
Chen Dong: “……”
It was as if he had understood something!
This guy seemed …… not to be having a nightmare!
“It’s good that there’s nothing going on, Elder Long and I still have things to take care of, so go to the dining hall after you take a break, Auntie Wu Chang and the others have saved you a meal.”
Chen Dong’s eyebrows relaxed as he got up and headed out.
Just as he reached the door.
Behind him suddenly came Zhao Breaking’s voice.
“Brother Dong, do you believe in the end times?”
Chen Dong paused abruptly, somewhat unsure, “Why are you suddenly asking this question?”
On the bed couch, Zhao Baolu looked grave and solemn, his eyes deep in thought as he murmured.
“If there is a doomsday, I’ll have to have a good time before I die!”
Sh*t, it’s hopeless!
Chen Dong’s eyebrows knitted and a touch of resentment surfaced in his eyes.
He didn’t continue to talk nonsense with Zhao Breru, but left the room.
As the door to the room closed.
Under the dim light, Zhao Broke-Ru’s face became extremely ugly.
He was terrified and trembling.
For a long time.
He murmured softly, “Master has said that the more frequent the nightmares, the closer the dreams come to reality …… but didn’t he say at first that as long as I don’t use my skills indiscriminately, with my fate, as long as I always sink to the lower ninth grade, the nightmares will gradually move away from me? ”
The words are slight, but the tone is full of fear and worry ……
