Su Chen first went to a nearby mall to buy a set of black formal attire, and changed into it. Although he seemed indifferent to most things, he did not dare to take this matter lightly!
He then visited a florist to purchase two bunches of white chrysanthemums and a bunch of calla lilies before taking a taxi to a cemetery near the northern part of Yandu.
Located on a small hill, the cemetery was accessible by car, but Su Chen had the driver stop at the bottom and then walked up the hill carrying the flowers.
The closer he got to the cemetery, the faster his heartbeat seemed to pound.
Spanning nearly a hundred acres, the cemetery was large and guarded all year round, with patrol teams at night.
The reason for such a display was that it served as the communal cemetery for the Five Great Families of Yandu. Their ancestors had been buried here for hundreds of years.
At the entrance to the cemetery was a large gate. As Su Chen walked in, the guard did not say anything since nearly every day, people from all over came here to pay their respects.
As long as you did not vandalize, they would not utter a single word.
After entering the gate, Su Chen walked forward for a few hundred meters and then turned eastward, his gaze scanning over the tombstones unceasingly.
When he saw a tombstone inscribed with "Su Yi", his heart jolted violently and he immediately stopped walking, placing one bunch of white chrysanthemums in front of the tombstone.
Behind this tombstone, he saw two others bearing the names "Su Lou" and "Mu Tong".
His tears streamed down the moment he saw these two names. He silently approached and placed the remaining bunch of white chrysanthemums and the calla lilies at the two graves.
Looking at the three tombstones, Su Chen's heart ached as if it were being gouged by a knife.
For these were his grandfather, father, and mother—three people who were tightly connected to his own bloodline!
Su Chen first knelt heavily and kowtowed three times in front of his grandfather Su Yi's grave, then repeated the gesture at his father's grave.
Eventually, he knelt at his mother's grave and could not rise.
"Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Xiao Tian is here, come to see you," he said, his voice choking up.
"Please forgive Xiao Tian for taking so many years to visit you."
Over the years, Su Chen had almost forgotten their faces, but their names and their vengeance were etched in his heart, never to be forgotten for a single day!
In countless midnights, he dreamt of those faces, now blurred, only to wake up startled!
Gazing at the tombstones, he wept unrestrained, crying out loud, tears drenching his cheeks like a child!
In that moment, he no longer wished to hide his feelings, allowing them to erupt freely, as if to release nearly two decades of emotions...
Just then, a stretch Bentley slowly made its way up the hill, carrying a woman in her forties inside.
She wore her hair in a high bun, her face delicate and well-maintained, her figure impeccable, exuding an air of efficiency.
As the car was about to enter the cemetery gate, she casually glanced outside through the car window.
Suddenly, her eyes passed through the branches of a large tree beside her, and it seemed she saw a young man kneeling there, apparently crying bitterly.
She immediately rolled down the window, faint sounds of sobbing reaching her ears.
The woman hastily commanded, and upon hearing her, the driver immediately brought the car to a halt.
The woman quietly watched the kneeling figure and couldn't help but frown tightly...
Half an hour later, Su Chen's crying gradually subsided. He then sat on the steps in front of his mother's gravestone, caressing the engraved words and softly sharing his yearning.
It wasn't until the sunset that he stood up and went to his grandfather's gravestone. Looking at the three gravestones, he said in a low voice,
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I will definitely investigate the incident from those years thoroughly and I won't let any of the culprits who harmed you get away! No matter what the cost!"
"Grandpa, Dad, Mom, I'll go ahead. I'll come see you again in a few days, and next time I'll bring Ruoxue with me. You'll definitely be happy to see her!"
As Su Chen said this, he smiled slightly.
Then Su Chen bowed several times to the three gravestones and turned to leave.
Seeing Su Chen walking from afar, the woman in the car immediately rolled up the window.
As Su Chen passed by the Bentley, he glanced at it casually, not paying much attention, and then moved on...
"After returning, immediately arrange for someone to start investigating this young man. Don't miss a single detail!"
After Su Chen left, the woman spoke solemnly.
The driver responded immediately.
It wasn't easy to catch a taxi in this part of the cemetery, and Su Chen had to walk several kilometers to the main road before he managed to catch a cab.
He felt that not having a car in Yandu was really inconvenient, so he decided to buy one.
Although Belle Group had provided several cars, they were for company use, intended for staff going out on business.
If he kept using them, it might make others feel he was blurring the lines between public and private interests because of his special relationship with President Lin, taking advantage of the company.
He didn't mind, but he had to consider Lin Ruoxue's reputation.
So he asked the driver to head to the area filled with 4S shops. Upon arriving, Su Chen saw that both sides of the street were lined with 4S shops featuring various car brands.
Though Su Chen wasn't short on money, buying a car was just for commuting and not for flaunting wealth or showing off, so there wasn't a need to buy a luxury car.
He walked straight into a Buick 4S store. Looking around briefly without much consideration, he chose a Regal priced around 200 thousand, which was more than enough for his needs.
Su Chen then drove his newly purchased car back to Rainbow Mansion. At this time, the day had darkened; some people had already returned to the apartments rented for them by Belle Group, while others were naturally out enjoying dinner and the nightlife of Yandu city.
Belle Group was always lenient with its employees, not minding what they did as long as they didn't neglect their responsibilities.
When Su Chen arrived on the 18th floor, he noticed that the light was still on in one office, so he went straight there.
"Qiuru, you don't need to push yourself so hard."
Su Chen pushed open the door and saw Xia Qiuru still reviewing documents and making notes. He couldn't help but say,
"How can I not? If your wife fired me, would you support me?"
Xia Qiuru looked up, saw it was Su Chen, and casually quipped back.
However, as soon as the words left her lips, Xia Qiuru realized she had misspoken and immediately felt awkward...
