Chapter 125 The gourd may not contain medicine
Late at night, the brightly lit Beishan Branch of the Security Bureau was bustling with activity.

After the midnight snack, everyone did not disperse. Tong Hua suggested going back to play poker to digest the food. Anyway, everyone had a room in the branch, so when they got tired, they could go back and fall asleep. It was not the first time.

Just when Wen Wen was secretly getting angry because of the bad hand she was dealt and wondering if Tong Hua was cheating secretly, she heard the phone ringing in her pocket.

The screen lit up and a familiar name appeared.

For some reason, every time she saw this name recently, she felt a little scared.

It seems like every time he calls me, it's nothing good.

Could it be...that he has caused trouble again?
"Hello? Ji Jue?"

She prepared herself for a moment before answering the call: "It's so late, what's the matter?"

"Sister Wen, there is indeed something..."

On the other end of the phone, Ji Jue hesitated to speak: "There is something, it's a bit complicated... How about you come over to my side? Well, it's better to come quietly, don't let others find out..."

In an instant, the corners of Wen Wen's eyes twitched.

No, asking your sister to come to your house quietly in the middle of the night?
Are you getting too bold, kid?

What are you thinking about?!
Tong Hua, who was eavesdropping quietly, had eyes that suddenly lit up with a look of curiosity. Even Lao Zhang seemed to raise his ears a little, intentionally or unintentionally.

This obviously has a story!

Is the progress so fast? No, it seems that no one has noticed anything!

When did it start?

Wen Wen, are you taking action so quickly?
Seeing the admiration in Tong Hua's eyes, Wen Wen couldn't help but punch her on the head.

"That stinky boy."

She hung up the phone and didn't try to hide it. Instead, she waved to the others, "Let's go, give him a surprise, and find out what this brat is up to."

If you really have any improper thoughts in the middle of the night, don't blame your sister for teaching you a lesson with her iron fist.

"Fuck——"

Fifteen minutes later, in Ji Jue's living room.

Wen Wen pushed the door open and saw the person sitting on the sofa. She couldn't help it and her eyes went dark.

Instead of giving her a surprise, she was frightened.

The medicine in this gourd is too strong and she can't hold it anymore!
.
After a brief moment of chaos, everything soon returned to silence.

Under the dim light of some years, everyone on the sofa folded their arms and looked at the guest sitting in the middle. Chen Yubo lowered his head, shivering, and subconsciously hugged the bag in his arms.

"Meow~"

At the opening of the bag, there was a black and white cat stepping on another blue cat. It curiously poked its head out, looked around, and tilted its head towards him.

It’s really cute.

"This one's called Sheriff, and this one's called Alfu."

Ji Jue pointed and introduced: "This is Chen Yubo."

"Yes, it's Chen Yubo." Old Zhang nodded first and made a judgment.

"Chen Yubo..."

Wen Wen rubbed her forehead with a headache, "He does look a bit like his brother, but a lot whiter."

"It is indeed Chen Yubo."

Tong Ping had no expression on his face. "I would recognize this face even if it turned into ashes."

Chen Yubo smiled bitterly: "Miss Tong, please stop laughing at me."

"Know him?" Ji Jue was at a loss.

"Have dealt with it."

Tong Hua's expression became more and more sad and serious: "The hatred of having my wife stolen from me is irreconcilable!"

"What?"

Ji Jue was so shocked that he lost his voice and subconsciously looked at Chen Yubo, who immediately shrank his head out of guilt.

It shocked him even more.

Then, Tong Hua continued, "Two years ago, JC from Empire released a limited edition diamond-studded girlish pink. I went to Empire's main store overnight to queue up for an order, but someone cut in line and took over after paying..."

She glanced at the bag in Chen Yubo's hand and was at a loss for words: "Buy it to hold the cat."

"Well, I didn't know you ordered it." Chen Yubo weakly defended: "As the saying goes, first come, first served. If I knew..."

"If you knew what I wanted, would you give it to me?"

Chen Yubo stopped talking and hugged the bag tightly in his arms.

I'll give it to you, but what shall I use to hold the cat?

Hearing the two cats meowing in the bag, he hurriedly went to open the cans for them.

"What is JC?" Lao Zhang asked in a low voice.

Ji Jue replied, "A luxury brand."

"Anyway, Yacheng is not big. If you stay in the circle for a long time, most of the people there are familiar faces. Didn't Xiaochun introduce him to you?" Tong Hua shook her head and sighed as she watched him lower his head to feed the cats. "He really loves those two cats."

Unfortunately, the cat was still cool and snatched the can, without any sympathy for the owner's situation, and was even too lazy to act cute.

It's not a solution to remain silent like this.

Ji Jue coughed twice and asked in a low voice: "Is Chen Xingzhou really..."

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. They are still trying to save him."

Chen Yubo hesitated, but finally sighed and said, "I'm afraid this time, it's more dangerous than safe."

After being shot, Chen Xingzhou was immediately sent to the hospital by Uncle Lin, but his condition was not optimistic. There was a curse on the bullet. He relied on the alchemical items on his body to barely hang on. He was not alive, but he was just one breath away from death.

He is still receiving treatment in the Chongguang Church's charity hospital.

After being sent to the hospital and learning the details of the situation, Chen Yubo's first reaction was to run away.

He took advantage of the chaos and slipped away when no one was paying attention.

It's not that he is heartless or cold, but that's what Chen Xingzhou had instructed him in the past. If anything happens to him, he should not care about anything else and should decisively leave Yacheng and live in hiding somewhere else.

Seizing the last chance, he ran back to his home without packing any gold or silver, taking any valuables, and even throwing away the collection of various sports cars he had accumulated over more than ten years.

He only brought a gold watch for emergencies and, most importantly, two cats.

Then, after calming down, he discovered...

I can't run away at all!
These days, natural disasters are rampant in the wild, storms and earthquakes are constant, and transportation between cities can only be done by airships or by off-road convoys carrying people on their backs.

Without channels, he couldn't even leave Yacheng secretly.

Chen Xingzhou had done smuggling before and had many connections, but now his elder brother's life or death was in danger, and he didn't dare to trust any of those people.

If you believe in the wrong thing, you will lose your life.

When he looked around his life and wanted to find a trustworthy friend, he sadly discovered that there was almost no one.

There was only one person who didn't kick him away for his own life when his life was in danger.

It was the unfortunate child sitting right opposite him at that moment.

Ji Jue.

This is how it all started.

After understanding the situation, Ji Jue did not shoot, nor did he coldly shut him out.

Even though she knew how much trouble he was in, she still sighed and let him into her home.

I also helped him contact Beishan District.

Just for this reason, before they came, Chen Yubo didn't know how many times she cried with emotion while hugging him.

It’s a pity that Ji Jue has little hope for this.

The Beishan District branch may not be able to handle such matters.

After Wen Wen put out her cigarette, she sighed and said, "Boss Chen, we are aware of your situation. Unfortunately, we can't help you."

Chen Yubo's face gradually turned pale: "Even you, Director Wen..."

"This afternoon, I impulsively went to find trouble with Lei Yaoxing, and I almost got ripped off. When I came back, I saw Tong Shan's dead face, and I've been complaining about it till now... To be honest, my head hurts when I see people from Huangji now."

Wen Wen said bluntly: "Even if I can't stand Huangji's trash showing off, I have to consider the position of the Security Bureau. At this critical juncture, if I forcibly intervene, the situation will get further out of control and become the fuse of the conflict between Bailu and Tianyuan."

"me……"

Chen Yubo mustered up his courage: "I can give all my property..."

"It's no use."

Tong Hua interrupted him: "If the Security Bureau wants your property, there are ways to do it. If Sister Wen wants to make this little money, I have the Tong family's connections, so can't I deal with you?"

Chen Yubo was suddenly speechless.

"Then... run away."

Ji Jue rubbed his nose tiredly: "Sister Wen, can you contact a ship? A speedboat is fine, or a big one. I will send him out of Yacheng now. If we move quickly, he can be in Chuancheng or Chaocheng tomorrow morning and have breakfast."

Wen Wen was about to speak but was stopped by Tong Hua.

"He can't leave, Ji Jue."

The girl's expression was no longer as frivolous and romantic as before, but compassionate and cruel: "He can't run away anymore."

Her cell phone was delivered to Ji Jue.

The screen lights up. Bringing the latest news.

"Just now, Chen Xingzhou's lawyer fell to his death, and the safe was pried open, and Chen Xingzhou's will was found."

Tong Hua sighed and said, "If Chen Xingzhou dies, all his assets in Yongji Bank - more than 4 billion in funds and shares in 11 listed companies - will be handed over to his only relative, Chen Yubo.

The will is notarized by Yongji Bank, so even if the sky falls and the earth breaks, this sum of money will definitely be handed over to him."

Ji Jue was in a daze, and only felt his scalp tingling.

He turned back stiffly and looked at Chen Yubo.

"That is to say..."

Now, sitting next to him is the entire Yacheng, no, the entire Haizhou, the number one Tang Monk's meat!

A person who has no ability to protect himself suddenly inherited such a huge fortune. No, even if Chen Xingzhou is not dead, just having this qualification is enough to make him the target of public criticism and the center of the storm.

If he stayed in Yacheng, the organization and remnants left by his brother would protect him because of what Chen Xingzhou had done in the past. But once he left Yacheng, there would be a lot of hungry mouths outside.

Can't wait to chew his flesh and blood...

Don't talk about other people.

Ji Jue felt a little angry after hearing this and wanted to get his mother killed!
Isn't it just kidnapping? It's not like we haven't kidnapped people before!
He almost tore it!
Unfortunately, he still had a little bit of conscience left, so he couldn't do it...

Ji Jue sighed: "Can't you give up the inheritance?"

“The guys at Yongji Bank only recognize contracts and not people. Even if Chen Xingzhou suddenly opened his eyes and changed his mind and said, “No, I won’t give it to you,” they would not care until the contract is rescinded.

No matter how much trouble this money would cause, they would definitely put the money into Chen Yubo's hands. Otherwise, the credibility of Yongji Bank would be destroyed.

I'm afraid they have already sent out their managers, waiting for Chen Xingzhou's death certificate to be stamped and come to fulfill the terms."

"We are all acquainted, Lao Chen."

Tong Hua sighed: "Now your only option is to go to Lei Yaoxing to kowtow, and then sign a document to give up emergency treatment. After your brother dies, give him the money and ask him to let you go, and cut off all ties with Huangji from now on.

In this way, Sister Wen can use the power of the Security Bureau to protect you and save your life."

Chen Yubo didn't say anything.

I just lowered my head and tried to speak several times, but tears kept flowing down.

"My father... my father is a gambler. He didn't want us when I was still in my mother's belly. My mother also died early. She passed away when I was two years old.

If it weren't for my brother, I would have been thrown into the gutter like garbage and rotted to death. Even the first time I took a knife to kill someone, it was for my tuition and food money.

I know he did a lot of shady things, but without my brother, there would be no me. I also contributed half of the evil he did.

If you mess around, you will have to pay for it. I'll die if I want to, but if you want me to kowtow to the person who killed him, if you want me to hurt him, I'd rather die like this..."

He wiped his tears and snot in a panic, stood up and bowed: "Thank you all for your kindness, it's my fault for not living up to my expectations. I'm sorry, sorry."

Just like that, he bowed and said goodbye and left.

Then, Ji Jue pushed him back onto the sofa.

"Wait a minute."

“It doesn’t have to be that bad,” he said.

Just like that, Chen Yubo, whose legs were trembling, was forcibly pushed back onto the sofa.

Ji Jue pondered for a moment and sighed:

"At least there is one way."

Chen Yubo swallowed his saliva and was so anxious that he almost cried. "Why don't you tell me what you can do?"

Then, I heard his words.

"Anyway, the worst that can happen is death, right?" Ji Jue looked at him carefully and suddenly asked out of nowhere, "Do you mind not getting married for the rest of your life?"

"what?"

Chen Yubo was stunned.

"First of all, let's understand one thing -" He raised a finger, "As long as Chen Xingzhou is alive, you won't have any chance of getting this money. But if Chen Xingzhou dies, you will definitely not be able to keep it.

But at least you get to decide where the money goes, right?"

"It's all handed over anyway. Why should we let a notorious gang leader like Lei Yaoxing get away with such a huge sum of money? Even if he really said he would save your life, would you dare to believe him?"

Chen Yubo was silent for a moment, finding it difficult to refute.

To be honest, even if Lei Yaoxing smiled and said to him, "We were just joking," would he dare to relax?

"If we give it to the Security Bureau, the people in the Security Bureau will only find a way to embezzle the money, or transfer it to some department's slush fund through three or four hands. I think I'm right about this, right, Sister Wen?"

Wen Wen waved her hand nonchalantly in acknowledgement.

"so--"

Ji Jue asked seriously: "Have you considered the [Songguang Church]?"

The sudden suggestion made everyone stunned.

In the silence, the only sound was the meowing of the two cats in Chen Yubo's arms.

The Chongguang Church is a religious organization spread throughout the world. It believes in the Glorious Dogma, which stipulates that the souls and spirits of all beings come from the light and will return to the light.

If you only look at this, it seems to be no different from ordinary religions, but the key point is that the light they worshipped was actually worshiped by them...

The compassion and virtue that emerged from countless souls and were practiced by believers of all generations actually constructed a fictitious saint.

In pursuit of the ascension of the soul and their own transformation, the chosen ones of the transformation series often commit themselves to practicing the path they have set. The chosen ones who receive the covenant through resonance of the light of compassion will give up all their property and fame, and spend their lives practicing the glorious creed, saving the dying and the wounded, and comforting souls.

Once one violates the holy covenant or actively plots to harm others, one will immediately lose the protection and blessing of the saints and return to his original form.

Although there are only a few people who can receive the Holy Covenant, they will be welcomed by everyone wherever they appear. Who would not like a person who simply does good deeds and has absolutely guaranteed integrity?

Although there are only a few hundred thousand registered members, and only a few thousand chosen ones among them, the charitable organizations of the Chongguang Church are spread all over the world, including Yacheng.

Unlike those that are used to fool people and steal their money or are purely for tax evasion, 10% of their charitable funds will actually be used for charity and relief.

No amount of money is enough.

If you pretend, any fund can have a surplus every year, but once you really start to do things, you won't be able to keep the capital.

Education in poor areas, water sources in drought-stricken areas, medicines in epidemic areas, hospitals in war-torn areas... Even if Ji Jue is not a believer, who among the poor people in Yacheng has not received the care and protection of the charity hospital?
"Donate all this money to the Chongguang Church's charity fund, then find the bishop of Haizhou and vow to convert. From now on, you will not hold any private property or seek profit.

With this money, the Chongguang Church will guarantee you, and even if the grudge is huge, they can come up with a solution. Besides, you haven't done anything that is against the law, so no one will pester you.

After a few years, the limelight will fade, and no one will remember Chen Xingzhou or you. If you really can't stand the hard life, you can leave the church. For the sake of this money, Chongguang Church will definitely arrange a place for you. What do you think?"

"Really...really?"

Chen Yubo was stunned and subconsciously looked at other people.

But after the initial shock, the others had to nod in silence.

After all, it is more than 4 billion, and there are even company shares and other real estate whose prices are difficult to estimate for the time being but are definitely not low... When wealth reaches this level, it is probably difficult to measure it in other ways except numbers. It is more than enough for 10,000 Ji Jues to live a life of debauchery from birth to death.

He actually proposed to donate it all at once. Even if it wasn't his own money, it was too extravagant.

But it must be said that this is the best way for Chen Yubo at the moment.

It doesn't get better than this.

"I...I'm fine."

Chen Yubo hesitated only for a moment, and after hearing the meowing of the two cats in his arms, he nodded solemnly.

He is not married. Although he has a lot of girlfriends, the financial relationship between them is clear and explicit. They are willing on both sides. Even if they say "honey, baby", it is clear whether they have any feelings in their hearts.

With the relationship he had with his brother Chen Xingzhou, he had to be more careful at all times not to establish a relationship of trust beyond the ordinary with any stranger.

But the only creatures he could love and care for were the two cats in his arms without worrying about being betrayed.

A person may have many concerns about the world, but sometimes, they may be just a little bit.

If I die, the two of them will probably really become wild cats... From then on, they will be hungry and full, bullied by others, and who will even look at them?
"Just...can you leave some money for me to buy cat food?" he asked tentatively.

"If you donate this money, the Sogo Church will buy them canned cat food for the rest of their lives. How stupid!"

Tong Hua rolled her eyes in annoyance, tapping her arms with her fingers, her expression stern: "The plan is beautiful, but we have to face reality - the premise of this is that you must survive this period of time before your brother dies, until a new person in charge appears.

Otherwise, before your relationship with Huang Ji is severed, no matter how compassionate the Chongguang Church is, it will never interfere in these dirty matters.

What about this? Have you ever thought about it?" She looked at Ji Jue.

In the silence, Ji Jue nodded slowly.

In the end, I sighed helplessly.

"We are friends after all." He glanced at the cowering Chen Da Shao, and his head was spinning. "He can come to me at this critical moment. I can't just kick him out, can I?"

Good people do it to the end and send Buddha to the West.

At worst, I can just be a coward for a few days and hide with him.

When he was in danger, he squatted outside his house, holding his cat and crying. He couldn't just watch him die on the street after leaving home.

It's just bad luck that something like this happened to you.

I just feel that the premium for every gift given by fate is too damn high!

Why is it so difficult to make a little money from you two brothers?
"Brother Ji, Brother Ji, I..."

Chen Yubo was moved to tears again. He couldn't help but rushed over and wanted to cry loudly, but Ji Jue pushed him away with his face against his. He was helpless:

"Don't! I'm already starting to regret it, calm down."

"Actually, if that's the case, there's not much danger."

On the sofa, Wen Wen, who had been watching for a long time, suddenly spoke up: "You can try it reluctantly."
