Chapter 219 Inheritance
"Okay, I understand. Report the number of casualties to me, and distribute the compensation according to the standards."
Abu frowned, feeling a mix of emotions he couldn't quite describe.
"Boss, Lü Haotian has boarded the pre-arranged helicopter and left. Our men have failed."
"Have you found out where he plans to shut down his service?"
Chi Ruiche's face remained expressionless, his gaze following Jiang Yi's direction.
As the play ended, amidst applause, Jin Yi, dressed in a red suit with a black shirt, had one button undone at his Adam's apple. His eyes exuded a cool and aloof air, and his upright posture gave him the air of a "gentleman on the road."
"At dusk, I sleep listening to the rain; a love affair in the west, a farewell in the north."
The operatic singing immediately transports the listener to the misty, rainy Jiangnan region, where the setting sun casts shadows on the trees, creating a beautiful picture of a Jiangnan water town.
As the song ended, Jin Yi bowed slightly to the audience. "I am very happy to be invited to participate in this exchange activity. When I was young, I was fortunate enough to study opera with Mr. Cui Xiuling for a period of time. I can only manage to sing a few lines of opera. I hope I will not embarrass Mr. Cui."
"I know that Mr. Cui's daughter, Ms. Jiang Yi, is also here today. I hope we can perform a piece together to comfort Mr. Cui's spirit in heaven."
The voices broke the silence, and Chi Ruiche, Jiang Yang, and Abu's expressions froze instantly. Jiang Yang instinctively grabbed Jiang Yi's arm, and Abu, who was leaning against the wall, straightened up.
When Jiang Yi heard her name, she snapped out of her daze. Jin Yi had already opened his arms in her direction, gesturing for her to enter.
Jiang Yi's heart skipped a beat. He felt that the smile overlapped with the person in his memory. He nodded as if possessed and stepped onto the stage.
The three of them held their breath. Chi Ruiche's mind was in turmoil at this moment. "Notify Zhao Mingyang to stand by. Prepare to turn off the lights."
"it is good."
Jiang Yi stood on the stage, wearing a white jacquard bamboo leaf cheongsam, exuding a modern Chinese style. The knotted buttons at the neckline outlined classical beauty, and the slits on both sides were just right. Her low bun was paired with earrings of the same color, showcasing understated elegance.
Jiang Yi whispered to Jin Yi, "Playing with dragons and phoenixes."
"Okay, please forgive me if I didn't sing well." Jin Yi said humbly and politely.
"The crescent moon shines over the world, I ask you, sir, where is your home?"
"Sister Feng, there's no need to question us. We soldiers live all over the world."
The old man's voice was different from Jin Yi's gentle voice. Even though neither of them was wearing costumes, their voices were just as good when they sang a cappella.
Jiang stood there like a blooming flower, attracting everyone's attention. Her posture was elegant, her figure graceful, and every movement exuded an innate charm.
"Thank you." After the clip ended, the two bowed, accompanied by applause from the audience.
Zhen Zihao helped an old man onto the stage. He had a pair of large, round eyes and a tall, thin figure. He walked to Jiang Yi's side with a cane.
“You sang well. Although our traditional culture is not as good as it used to be, we are really happy to see so many people willing to join in and carry it forward. Many young people nowadays are willing to listen to Peking Opera singing. This is recognition of us and a kind of inheritance.”
"This is Wang Yaoqing, Master Wang. He was once hailed as a 'famous opera singer' of the new era. Thank you, Master Wang, for coming."
"Next, Ms. Jiang Yi and Mr. Jin Yi will perform a piece together to conclude tonight's event."
Chi Ruiche listened quietly. As the opera sang, Jiang Yi's brows and eyes sparkled with a captivating brilliance. She was the most dazzling light, her voice enchanting from the first note and captivating from the second.
