The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

The two-hour flight ended quickly, and when the plane landed smoothly on the runway of the Capital Airport, the city lights were already on outside the window.

Looking at the Capital Airport under the night sky, Ling Yun, who had lived two lives, couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

But with Mr. Kong sitting next to him, he could only hide his emotions and continue to discuss things in hushed tones with Mr. Kong.

They didn't stop their discussion until the plane came to a complete stop at the berth.

Because of Mr. Kong's special status, they separated from Ling Yun as soon as they got out of the cabin.

As they parted, Mr. Kong smiled and whispered a few words of praise.

"Xiao Ling, it's been a very pleasant journey exchanging ideas with you. I've learned a lot about crude oil futures trading from you!"

Ling Yun quickly waved his hand with a smile.

"You're too kind. It's a great honor to have this exchange with you. I've learned a lot and benefited greatly."

The admiration in President Kong's eyes deepened, and he gently patted Ling Yun's arm.

"Go home and spend more time with your family, get some rest for a few days, and maybe I'll have someone contact you in a few days."

"Okay, thank you for your concern, Mr. Kong."

After exchanging a few polite words, Mr. Kong and his entourage left together, accompanied by several airport executives.

Their luggage was handled by their entourage.

Ling Yun then slung her backpack over her shoulder and walked alone toward the baggage claim area.

Several first-class passengers came up to chat with him, got to know him, and expressed their hope for a chance to cooperate.

Ling Yun knew perfectly well why these guys were so enthusiastic.

They all came for Mr. Kong, but dared not approach him rashly, for fear of making a fool of themselves.

So they decided to use Lingyun as a roundabout way to achieve their goal.

Although he knew their ulterior motives, Ling Yun simply smiled and didn't expose them!

After collecting his luggage and exiting the terminal, two of them warmly invited him to get into their family's or friends' cars to go to the city.

Ling Yun shook his head and refused, then hailed a taxi and left the Capital Airport alone!

The taxi quickly got onto the airport expressway and sped off towards the city center.

The area along the airport expressway at this time was far less prosperous than in the previous life; many places were still desolate wilderness, and it was pitch black when viewed from inside the car.

As the taxi got closer to the city center, the scenery outside the window gradually changed, transforming into rows of tall buildings, brightly lit, and bustling with traffic.

The capital city under the night sky is bathed in the enthusiastic atmosphere of the eve of the Olympics.

The lampposts along the roadside were adorned with bright national flags and Olympic rings flags, and one after another, huge "GG" signs read "One World, One Dream," standing out prominently in the night!

More than an hour later, the taxi stopped at the entrance of that familiar residential area on the West Third Ring Road.

This is an old residential area that has been around for over ten years. The management is lax, and outside vehicles can drive in directly and park in front of the residential buildings.

Ling Yun had the driver stop at the entrance, paid the fare, got out of the car, took out two suitcases, and prepared to walk inside.

The taxi drove away, but he stood there stunned.

Standing at the entrance of the familiar residential compound, he suddenly felt as if he had been transported to another world!

And that is indeed the case!

Before his rebirth, he lived here, and his house was always in chaos with constant arguments!

This was his first time back in nearly four months since his rebirth.

Everything at the entrance of the residential area is the same as before, yet somehow different, only a little newer than I remember.

The streets outside were much more lively than in my previous life, with nearly half of the shops along the street displaying "For Rent" signs!

It is now mid-July 2008, and the enormous impact of e-commerce on the real economy is almost imperceptible!

Whether in the city or the countryside, everywhere is bustling and full of the warmth of everyday life!

The song "Welcome to Beijing" playing from a roadside barbershop is a prime example of the most distinctive feature of this era!

Of course, the biggest change is in Lingyun.

In his previous life, at this time, he was already in a detention center in Shanghai.

Every day they endured despair, waiting to be prosecuted, convicted, and then sent to Tilanqiao to eat cornbread!

My mother cries every day at home, and my father runs around frantically, but to no avail; nothing changes.

But at this time, Ling Yun turned the tables and sent Fang Changhai and Guo Zirong, who had framed him, to prison. In just one month, he also became a billionaire with a net worth of over a billion.

Two lifetimes, worlds apart!

"The tragedies that happened to me and my family in my past life must never be repeated in this life, and I must never let my parents suffer even the slightest grievance again."

"I want to live life to the fullest, enjoy every day of this beautiful new life, give my parents the best of everything, and be happy every day."

Ling Yun made a silent vow in his heart.

Just as he was lost in thought, he heard a loud slap and someone suddenly slapped him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Lingzi, you're finally back! It was worth waiting here for over two hours, almost getting eaten by mosquitoes."

"We have a score to settle, it's time to settle it properly. Didn't you slander me as Zhang Fei before...?"

Upon hearing the voice, Ling Yun's face immediately lit up with surprise and delight.

He didn't even look back, dropped his suitcase and ran away.

At the same time, he didn't forget to laugh and make excuses.

"Why are you still so vengeful, Yanzi? It was just a joke, why did you have to wait here for two hours?"

"Besides, if I didn't say that, my mom and your mom would insist we go on blind dates. Can you imagine what that would be like? I certainly can't."

Swallow kicked at thin air, stumbled, and almost fell to the ground.

Once she regained her balance, she immediately lunged at Ling Yun with bared teeth and claws.

"Don't let me catch you, Xiao Lingzi! If I do, I'll tear that filthy mouth of yours apart!"

"This woman is beautiful, with a great figure, how could she be like Zhang Fei? How is she unworthy of you, you filthy scoundrel?"

Seeing the swallows catching up, Lingyun quickly ran to a few big trees by the roadside and started playing hide-and-seek with the swallows around the trees.

This scene has played out countless times since I was a child and began to understand things.

The plot is basically the same every time: Ling Yun is always the one being chased, and Yan Zi is always the one baring her teeth and claws in the back!

This chase only ended when Yanzi graduated from junior high school and her family moved to Chaoyang.

Ling Yun never expected that he would be ambushed by Yanzi here right after returning from Shanghai.

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and escaped his childhood friend's clutches.

At this moment, Yanzi, just as she herself said, was a beautiful woman with a lovely face and a great figure!

She has a more heroic than charming appearance, and looks a bit like a younger version of Song Jia.

As for her personality, let's not even go there. She's like Zhang Fei, always on the go. Calling her a fierce Zhang Fei wouldn't be an exaggeration at all!

As they chased and played around, several neighbors watched with amusement.

They had seen this scene countless times before.

The chase scene only ended when Ling Yun deliberately created an opening, allowing Yanzi to seize the opportunity and punch him twice on the back!

Then, Lingyun greeted several neighbors with a smile.

"Grandma Zhang, you're taking a walk? It's been a while since I've seen you; you're getting healthier and healthier!"

"Haha, you're such a smooth talker, but I love hearing that."

Grandma Zhang nodded with a smile.

Then, Lingyun looked at an older woman wearing a red armband.

"Aunt Wang, it's already past nine o'clock, and you're still sticking to your post. Our community can live and work in peace and contentment thanks to you!"

"Get lost, you brat! Don't try to fool me, or I'll get your mom to teach you a lesson, you little rascal!"

Aunt Wang laughed and scolded in an annoyed tone.

After greeting a few neighbors, Lingyun pushed her suitcase and walked into the community with Yanzi, heading towards her building.

As they walked, they encountered many neighbors who were out for a stroll and kept greeting them.

He also chatted and laughed with Yanzi along the way, asking about each other's situations.

Lingyun told Yanzi about resigning and returning to Beijing, and breaking up with Li Wen. Yanzi already knew about these things from her mother.

Yanzi utterly despised and scorned Li Wen, especially her parents, for their actions.

During the conversation, Yanzi also mentioned her situation.

She is still single because this place is close to her workplace, and she now lives in her old family house!

As luck would have it, her old house was right downstairs from Lingyun's, which is why they were so familiar with each other!

As they spoke, they had already reached the bottom of the stairs.

Upon reaching this point, Lingyun stopped again, trying to take a closer look at the old apartment building.

But Yanzi pulled him into the building and they went upstairs together.

To Yanzi, what was so interesting about this dilapidated building? How could she possibly understand Lingyun's feelings about living two lives?
