Siheyuan: I am a trader in both worlds!

Chapter 526 Bai Ling has so many elders!

"Why are you even picking a time? The goods have already been delivered, right? They're in that warehouse I just found for you. Let's just go! Everyone's here, so let's do it now!"

Ximen Lang had exactly the same idea!
Therefore, seeing Bai Ling directly reveal all her innermost thoughts.

It's simply impossible to refuse.

With a big wave of the hand.
"Then let's go!"

The group headed towards the warehouse.

Then, Ximen Lang was suddenly struck by a sentence from the principal.
"You drive such a big car so smoothly and steadily, girl, you drive very well."

I'm so annoyed.

Why?
Because it's obvious they know each other!
Moreover, their relationship must be extremely close; otherwise, why would the principal call Bai Ling "little girl" so intimately?

Ximen Lang was stunned for a long time after hearing this, and it took him a while to come to his senses.

Looking back in the rearview mirror, Ximen Lang was indeed dumbfounded.

He couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

After finishing, Bai Ling ignored Ximen Lang and replied without even turning her head.

"It's mainly because I drive a lot, and this car is really easy to drive. If it were one of our old cars, I definitely wouldn't be able to drive it this smoothly. Putting aside everything else, just turning the steering wheel alone would be beyond my capabilities."

"Unlike this one, it has that hydraulic system. No matter how difficult the bend, you can turn it with just one finger, it's effortless."

Upon hearing this, the principal also paid close attention to Bai Ling's steering wheel movements and found that it was indeed true; Bai Ling turned the steering wheel with no difficulty at all.

The principal remarked with emotion.

"No wonder you turn the steering wheel so easily, even easier than the experienced mechanics. Turns out you have a hydraulic system assisting you, no wonder. But that's still pretty good, at least much better than us two old guys driving."

"Hey, just talk about yourself, don't drag me into it."

"What do you mean?"

"What else could it mean? Of course, it's because I drive just as well as Bai Ling. Don't think that just because she started driving a while earlier than me, I have that talent. As soon as the new car that A Lang gave me arrived, I drove it a few times, just a few times, and after a few casual laps, I was already familiar with all the driving skills."

"So awesome!"

"What do you think?"

"No, I mean, is this car really that easy to drive? Even a blockhead like you can get the hang of it so quickly."

"you"

Just when it seemed that Lao Luo was about to be completely annoyed by a joke, he said...
"Just kidding, just kidding. We can't be stingy in front of so many juniors."

This forced Lao Luo to swallow all his words.

Turning her head, she saw Ximen Lang still there, wondering with suspicion about his relationship with Bai Ling.

He stopped teasing Ximen Lang and gave Bai Ling a look.

Bai Ling asked directly.

"Do you know where I'm from?"

"Is that even a question? Of course they're from Songjiang Prefecture!"

"So, what year was I born?"

"You're in your early twenties, about my age. '55,' minus 20, that's around 1930?"

"Where was the principal working around 1930?" "Nonsense, he was obviously waiting, you mean..."

"That's what you think!"

Having directly confirmed Ximen Lang's guesses, Bai Ling, with a look of reminiscence on her face, began to tell Ximen Lang about her past.

In short, Bai Ling's parents had been closely connected with the Party since its founding and had already begun to collect intelligence for the then-vulnerable Party on the covert front.

This continued for many years until the White Terror arrived.

As the situation grew increasingly dire, Bai Ling's parents became more and more active, so shortly after Bai Ling was born, both of her parents...
Bai Ling, naturally, also became an orphan at a very young age.

In response to this situation, we are determined to take decisive action and see it through to the end.

"So, although my childhood was incomplete, it was never lacking in laughter. That is because I was raised under the care of the entire underground organization in Songjiang Prefecture, and the principal was one of them."

Ximen Lang felt a pang of sadness upon hearing this.

Then, before Ximen Lang could even offer a word of comfort to Bai Ling...

Changing the subject, Bai Ling, who had clearly moved on from the past, said playfully.

"So don't even think about bullying me, because the power of my family is beyond your imagination! If you dare to bully me, the spit of each of my elders would be enough to drown you!"

The sudden change nearly broke Ximen Lang's back.

Turning his head, he saw the principal smiling at him, and Old Luo, who was also smiling and watching him.
A mountain of pressure rushed towards me!

In addition, Bai Ling has recently taken on several elders whose names she cannot even mention.
Shaking his head like a rattle-drum, Ximen Lang, drenched in sweat, immediately expressed his opinion.

"Just kidding! You're my wife, I'm too busy spoiling you to possibly bully you! You're overthinking it! By the way, do you still have any pocket money? You didn't say! I have plenty, just tell me what you need, I absolutely can't let you run out of money!"

As he spoke, he pulled out a thick stack of black 10s from his pocket.

The principal was speechless, and at the same time gained a deeper understanding of Simon Lang's rough-around-the-edges nature.

Without even being polite to Ximen Lang, he accepted all the money Ximen Lang handed him.

Then, without looking back, he tossed it to the principal in the back seat.

Drop a sentence.

"Just consider it my contribution to the school's construction."

Principal Le quickly put it away like a treasure and thanked him profusely.

"Well, then I'll thank you on behalf of all the staff at the school."

Having finished all that, Bai Ling continued, picking up where she left off.

"Later, the situation gradually eased up. Then, taking advantage of this rare window of opportunity for renewed cooperation, the principal sent me directly to the Russians to study. I originally thought that after I returned, I would be of great use. But I didn't expect that the war would end as soon as I got back. I missed out on everything."

Seeing that Bai Ling was full of regret, Ximen Lang immediately comforted her without needing Lao Luo or the others to comfort her.

"Look at what you're saying! What do you mean you didn't play a significant role? How could you not play a significant role? Actively participating in national development—isn't that playing a significant role? You're just overthinking things! You're thinking too much, you know? On the contrary, that's exactly what played a significant role!"

Together with the principal and Lao Luo, they persuaded and comforted Bai Ling, finally managing to dispel all her complicated and irrelevant thoughts.

Seeing that Bai Ling had such a connection with the principal, he realized that he was actually related to the principal.

Without a word, Ximen Lang stated his position directly.

"Logically speaking, given your reputation as the Grand Commandant, I could easily send you a heavy armored division. But unfortunately, my finances are limited, and I'm not exactly flush with cash lately. So, I'll send you a brigade instead. You can find the personnel yourself; I'll provide the equipment!"
