Chapter 325, Episode 0350: Are You Serious?

"Who is this distinguished guest? My temple is too small for you, a great Buddha, to have come to the wrong place?"

Leng Zhi pretended not to see the old man's anger, nor to hear those sarcastic remarks, and placed the gift on the table with a grin.

Under the old man's glare, he brazenly sat down.

The old man was so angry at his shameless behavior that he laughed. "Where did you learn to be so shameless?"

"Dad, how can I possibly have any face in front of you? If I have no face at all, then what's the point of coming here?"

Old man: “…”

Is the Northwest really this good for nurturing people?

They've completely eroded his former son's ego; he used to have a serious face that made everyone owe him a fortune.

The Northwest representative stated: This has nothing to do with it; it's a genetic issue. Don't slander it.

"Tell me, you busy man, why did you suddenly come to see me?"

Leng Zhi paused for a moment, realizing that the old man harbored deep resentment towards him.

"As soon as I finished arranging my work, I came to see you. Besides, Dad, I've brought my precious daughter to be with you. Who could be more filial than me?"

These words really stirred up a volcano. The old man, whose anger had been somewhat contained, suddenly raised his cane and struck Leng Zhi.

Even though Leng Zhi hadn't held back at all and was prepared to dodge quickly, the cane still grazed his side. He hissed in pain and sprang up like a spring, jumping over the back of the sofa and hiding behind it.

Uncle Feng and the others standing to the side: "..."

What amazing skills you have!
"Dad, are you serious? I was just transferred back. Are you planning to make me take sick leave right away?"

That was too ruthless, old man. If he hadn't dodged it in time, his arm would probably be ruined.

The old man ignored his pleas and started cursing, "How dare you mention your daughter? If it weren't for you, would your daughter have had to go to the countryside for so many years before coming back?"

Leng Zhi: "...Dad, you're being a bit unreasonable. I admit that it had something to do with me when my son wanted to go to the countryside, but wasn't the main reason something that you and the Second Elders had arranged long ago?"

There were some things I couldn't say before, but now I'm not afraid anymore.

Lin Yuexi's mind is too special; any family head who considers the future will not easily give up on her.

Therefore, Lin Yuexi's decision to go to the countryside was the result of multiple considerations and efforts. It was a gamble, and in fact, it was a very humble one, based solely on the unknown probability of whether Old Chen was willing to lend a hand.

The old man was one of the participants and promoters, and he understood the ins and outs of the matter even better than Leng Zhi. Wasn't he just taking his anger out on Leng Zhi?

To put it simply, when Lin Yuexi went to the countryside, it was already a last resort. In the hearts of many people, including the old man, they felt that the possibility of her being cured was extremely slim.

In other words, no one really had much hope. But since things had already come to that, they figured they could only wait to die in Beijing anyway. At least if they went to Old Chen's side, there was still a sliver of hope.

Perhaps Dr. Chen is willing to treat it, perhaps Dr. Chen is able to treat it?

Maybe.

Despite this hope, everyone was more inclined to believe that Lin Yuexi was unlikely to return.

For the old man at that time, sending his beloved grandson away meant he wouldn't even get to see him one last time.

No one knew that on the day Lin Yuexi left, the old man followed her all the way to the train station. After watching the train disappear into the distance, he stood there alone for a very long time. The old man was afraid. From the moment Lin Yuexi left, he was trembling with fear every moment, hoping to receive a phone call, yet dreading the ringing of the phone.

He no longer wants to recall what happened during that period.

But for some reason, seeing his son who had become so unreliable, he suddenly remembered those days when he seemed to be possessed by a dream.

A sense of lingering fear welled up inside her, and she immediately began to find her son increasingly displeasing.

Who told him he didn't have time to send his daughter to the countryside back then?

He's the father, so he can be unreasonable, so what?
What could Leng Zhi do? He could only silently lower his head and endure nearly ten minutes of scolding.

Only after the old man finally released his pent-up anger did the father and son sit down calmly again.

"Speak up, stop with the nonsense."

Seeing the old man's businesslike demeanor, Leng Zhi didn't dare to continue his frivolous ways and sat up straight to state his purpose.

"Dad, I'm here about my baby."

"What's wrong, sweetie?"

The old man didn't realize for a moment that his beloved grandson wasn't in Ning City.

That area has been on high alert since its establishment. If something goes wrong there, it's impossible for something to go wrong there.

Leng Zhi recounted in detail what Lao Zheng had told him, and added at the end, "Dad, I really didn't deliberately delay coming to see you. I had someone check and waited for the results before coming over."

Otherwise, his father would have to send someone to investigate, and he would definitely have gotten a good beating.

The old man ignored his attempt to claim credit, frowning and saying unhappily, "The Hua family has indeed become a bit arrogant lately, and even the higher-ups have taken notice of them."

In the past two years, there have been frequent changes in senior management, and there are many more unfamiliar faces around them. Naturally, people will pay attention to them, but that's all they do. They just keep an eye on them to make sure nothing goes wrong.

In other words, as long as you don't deliberately attract attention, everyone above you is busy and has no time to be watched.

Whether the Hua family did it on purpose or genuinely lacked common sense, they abruptly stood out in an environment where everyone was trying to keep a low profile. While it seemed like they were trying to elevate their status within the circle, they were actually just being a scapegoat.

The Hua family has been making the most noise lately, so it's hard for the higher-ups not to pay attention.

"The Hua family must have done it on purpose. Considering the Hua family head's ability to endure Hua Lao for nearly sixty years before striking with such precision, Hua Da is the successor he personally cultivated. Judging from Hua Da's actions, he has surpassed his mentor."

According to the information his people found, although the head of the Hua family has not changed yet, the person in charge of the Hua family now is Hua Da.

Hua Da, whose shrewdness and patience are in no way inferior to those of the Hua family head, would never allow his wife and children to become arrogant and attract so much attention after returning to the capital.

Does he really not understand that his wife and children's behavior of standing out too much will attract the attention of their superiors?
"Unless... they are not afraid of being noticed, because they are not afraid."

The old man suddenly laughed when he heard Leng Zhi's guess. "Of course the Hua family is not afraid of investigation. The Hua family has always been upright and honest. Hua Da's achievements are all genuine. Before Hua Kang's incident, the Hua family head used Hua Kang to persuade the higher-ups. No one thought that Hua Da was accumulating military merits."

There are some things that only the older generation, like the old man, know.

At that time, five or six members of the Hua family were in the military. Apart from the head of the Hua family, the highest-ranking officer was Hua Kang, also known as Hua Lao. Although the others were all quite good, they were much inferior to Hua Kang.

The only one that can be somewhat compared to Huakang is BGI.

Initially, Huada and Huakang were actually in the same company, but Huakang's performance was more outstanding than Huada's. When they went on missions together, Huakang would always get military merits, while Huada was just there to make up the numbers.
