章 6: A Mysterious Past?
編集者: EndlessFantasy Translation
"Oh my God, I've only seen people dressed like that on TV!"
"I think he has something in his ear. Could he be reporting the funeral situation here to some Big Boss?"
"Good God, did you see the suit he's wearing? It looks even better than our boss's imported suit that costs 800,000 yuan!"
"What's his background?"
At the funeral, his relatives and friends were discussing.
Su Chen stood not far away with a calm expression. He held the black umbrella in his hand and watched the funeral.
The funeral should have ended very quickly, but because of the tears and nostalgia of the three veterans, it dragged on for two hours.
Chu Anfu remained absent-minded. He looked at Su Chen who had been standing in the distance, then looked at the three veterans who were huddled next to the tombstone, still reminiscing about the past. He sighed.
"Sigh, why aren't you leaving yet!"
He did not dare to say these words out loud. He only whispered them to himself.
What happened next seemed to be in response to him
Drip!
Raindrops fell on the ground, and the sky became gloomy. Dark clouds began to churn, and a cold wind swept over.
The Heavens and Earth also lost their color.
In a moment, the weather changed!
"Eh? The weather forecast clearly said that it would be sunny. Why Is it raining so heavily!?"
"It looks like a proper downpour. Quick, take shelter!"
"It's raining heavily! It's raining heavily!"
The three Chu siblings ran to a big tree to take shelter from the rain.
This did not stop them from continuing to fight over the funds. The three of them continued to argue.
The relatives and friends around them also hid under the tree.
Raindrops fell on the leaves and scattered on the ground and tombstones along with the wind.
"Elder Cheng, I'll get you an umbrella!"
The driver who had been waiting at the side hurriedly ran to the Mercedes-Benz to get the umbrella.
"Elder Liu, please wait a moment. The umbrella will be here soon!"
On the other side, behind the other two elders, someone also went to get the umbrella.
The sound of the rain fell one after another.
The sound of the rain was getting louder and louder.
"Even the heavens are crying for you, Elder Chu!"
Old Cheng gritted his teeth and said. The Tears on his face had not dried yet, but his eyes were filled with tears again.
During the war, Chu Guozhong had taken a bullet for him and saved his life!
He still remembered this firmly in his heart. He did not dare to forget it even for a moment. He only thought that he would have the opportunity to repay this favor. He did not expect that Old Chu, who had just only spoken with him yesterday, would die here.
He was already in the ground!
For a moment, the feelings of regret, guilt, and missing his comrades surged into his heart.
How could a few short sentences be enough to express all his thoughts?
The two comrades beside him were the same.
They were veterans who stood at the front line to serve their country. They did not dare to retreat even for a moment!
They were brave and fearless as they lingered on the line of life and death. They would never fall behind even if they lost their flesh and blood. They would shed blood, sweat, and tears!
They stood firm on the front lines and defended their country. They pressed forward with an indomitable will!
The sudden departure of their old comrades had opened up the scars of the past. It was the hatred of their country and their family. It was the brotherhood of their comrades who fought bravely. It was the era when countless compatriots had shed blood and sacrificed themselves!
The three of them sat in front of the grave. Even when the raindrops fell, they were unwilling to leave.
At that moment...
A black umbrella was held up above the three of them!
The raindrops all hit the surface of the umbrella.
Old Cheng looked up and frowned.
"You are?"
Su Chen was wearing a black suit, black sunglasses, and an earpiece. He held a black umbrella in his hand.
His unique temperament was emitted from his body, which impressed the three veterans!
The three people who rode on the battlefield back then had been bombarded by shells and the flames of war were flying everywhere. They climbed up again and again among the piles of dead people in a river of blood. What great wind and waves had they not seen?
Hell itself descended upon them, and they had remained undaunted.
However, after seeing Su Chen, their expressions changed.
This kind of imposing manner that was emitted was not something that an ordinary person could have.
Even his dark sunglasses could not stop the mysterious aura emitting from his entire body. It was hard to see through, and there was also a unique pressure with it!
Whoosh
The rain poured down like a waterfall!
The four of them squeezed under a single black umbrella. They all guarded Chu Guozhong's photo and Military Medals!
As they got closer, the three of them realized that this umbrella's workmanship was extraordinary, from the fabric, the umbrella frame, to the Umbrella's structure and threads! It was definitely top-notch workmanship!
Also, the suit on Su Chen's body was not something ordinary fabric could produce.
The image of Su Chen in their hearts had grown mysterious at this moment.
"Little brother, thank you!"
Elder Liu's turbid eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at Su Chen. He could feel that the aura that this young man was emitting was actually higher than his own.
After going through the tempering of the flames of war and many years of vicissitudes of life, Elder Liu had seen all kinds of people. Naturally, there were people who could possess such an aura. However, they were all important figures with noble statuses. Moreover, most of them were not young. For such a young man to be able to emit this kind of aura, things were not simple!
"Elder Liu, the umbrella is here!"
"Elder Cheng, sorry to have kept you waiting! Sorry!"
Soon, umbrella after umbrella surrounded Su Chen's black umbrella and expanded their makeshift shelter by a few meters.
The three veterans were still somewhat shocked.
After retiring, their comrades went their separate ways and rarely saw each other.
Su Chen, who was dressed like an international agent, made the three of them think twice about Chu Guozhong's past.
"Has Old Chu been keeping a low profile and is secretly carrying out more work for the country?"
Old Cheng could not help but ask.
Elder Liu shook his head. "If it's a secret, how could I not know?"
He listened in on their conversation. Su Chen looked cold on the surface, but in his heart, he was panicking.
Not simple!
These two people were definitely not simple!
At this moment, another veteran who had been silent all this time raised his head.
"Little brother, may I ask what is your relationship with Old Chu?"
"I'm just here to send off old Mr. Chu!"
Su Chen said this with a calm expression and did not say anything else.
He was frighteningly cold.
Having dressed like a special agent, it was difficult for people not to think about the mysterious past of Chu Guozhong.
Su Chen's sending-off service was to create a mysterious past for the client. This mysteriousness naturally included the three people present at the funeral.
"Since you're here to send off Chu Guozhong, you're also a friend of mine, Liu Hongxuan. If you have any matters in the future, feel free to look for me!"
As Liu Hongxuan said this, the driver at his side quickly respectfully handed Su Chen a business card.
The mysterious outfit and the terrifying aura.
Liu Hongxuan was worried that Su Chen would have declined it, but he still accepted it.
It was true that he wanted to appear indifferent, but he had to accept the business card. Listening to the conversation of these three people, their identities were definitely not ordinary.
It might be helpful to him in the future, so he could not pass on the opportunity!
"Sigh, Old Chu is gone, and we're the only comrades left!"
Old Cheng sighed.
Another elder also sighed.
"We were once glorious, but in the end, we're still a bunch of dirt! When we all get down there, we'll gather together and have a good drink!"
"A veteran doesn't die, his spirit will live forever!"
Su Chen suddenly said.
Liu Hongfei's eyes lit up. "Well said!"
