Seeing his confident expression, Li Dabiao nodded slightly, then turned and got into the car with peace of mind.

The convoy slowly started and drove away from No. 95 Courtyard.

The surrounding neighbors lingered for a long time, watching the departing convoy with sighs of amazement.

"My God! This courtyard at number 95 has truly produced a dragon!"

"This is even bigger than when city leaders visit the countryside! Things are really different now!"

As time goes by and the world changes.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

At Bao'an Airport, the plane slowly landed, and the engine noise gradually subsided.

Li Dabiao, dressed in a Zhongshan suit, calmly stepped off his private jet.

At the airport exit, a tall, well-dressed figure in military uniform had been waiting for a long time; it was his brother-in-law.

Li Dabiao stepped forward with a smile, reached out to hug him, and said in a relaxed tone, "Brother, you still look the most dashing and imposing in this military uniform."

The brother-in-law was both amused and exasperated, rolling his eyes: "So impressive, huh? It's all because of you! I quit my perfectly good police post to come here on patrol, all because of you!"


The brother-in-law nodded, his tone solemn: "It's all been arranged long ago. All six hundred-plus villagers of Lijia Village have been properly resettled and are living in new houses. As per your request, the young and capable ones have all been assigned to positions at the port. The remaining villagers have been allocated prime land to farm in peace and have no worries about food and clothing."

Li Dabiao nodded slightly and continued to ask, "What about the security arrangements? How's the defense here?"

When the topic of defense came up, the brother-in-law spoke with absolute confidence, his tone tinged with awe: "You can rest assured! There are three main forces permanently stationed throughout the province, and a separate army is stationed in the Luohu area. Our grandfather is in charge of the overall coordination, and the key personnel are all family members and his grandfather's trusted confidants. Security is definitely not a problem..."

"Also, the commander of the 88th Army next door, which is assisting in the defense, is Old Master Zhang!"

"Zhang Jing's grandfather?"

Li Dabiao's pupils dilated instantly, his face filled with shock: "Old Master Zhang?"

His brother-in-law looked at him, his eyes filled with envy and helplessness: "What else? You have no idea, Zhang Jing has been running to your house all the time lately, and what's most infuriating is that Feng Jiu and the others haven't said anything about her..."

Li Dabiao scratched his head but didn't reply.

The brother-in-law didn't continue, and got back to the main topic seriously: "Let's get down to business. When and how many people are you planning to bring across the border?"

Li Dabiao pondered for a moment, then spoke with certainty: "No rush. For the first trip, just bring a few people. Oh, and Feng Jiu and the other two, as well as Sister Jing and my two cousins, should also be brought along. I need to get them identities; I still owe them an explanation. As for the branches and connections of our Li family in Hong Kong from earlier years, I need to take people there to search for them thoroughly. Only after we find them can we obtain the exclusive tokens and connect with the family genealogy. These things can't be rushed. We'll establish the channels first, and then proceed with the subsequent plans gradually and steadily."

The brother-in-law hesitated for a moment, seemingly wanting to say something but holding back, but finally nodded in agreement: "Alright, I won't ask you why you're taking them there. Since you've made your decision, we won't interfere with or disrupt your plans. But the old man has given a strict order: safety first. There will be elite personnel accompanying you throughout the entire process, ensuring your absolute safety and absolutely not interfering with any of your plans."

Li Dabiao nodded slightly, seemingly calm, but a trace of worry about the unknown future still lingered in his heart.

The road ahead is vast and involves a wide range of people, including his family, clansmen, cross-border operations, and the general trend of the times. Even though he had made thorough preparations, he still couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

The brother-in-law, who had held a high position for many years and was meticulous, saw through the deep concerns and struggles hidden in his eyes at a glance.

After a moment of silence and hesitation, he finally put aside the distinction between superior and subordinate and disregarded the old man's instructions, and spoke from the bottom of his heart to Li Dabiao.

"Da Biao, I know a lot of confidential and important matters. The old man specifically instructed me not to ask too many questions or delve too deeply into them."

"But I still feel like I need to say a few words from the bottom of my heart to you today."

"That person gave you absolute autonomy. In order to ensure that you have no worries and can focus on your work, not only were all the more than 600 villagers of Lijia Village relocated here, settled down safely, and made a living, but all the people and resources of our entire Bai family were also moved here to take root here and provide for you."

"Not only that, the main force stationed here, as well as the 88th Army that is providing auxiliary defense next door, are all under the overall command and coordination of our old man and old man Zhang. This arrangement already demonstrates the utmost trust the higher-ups have in you."

He took a deep breath and lowered his voice: "There's one more thing, the old man has never mentioned it to you. This time, when the old man went south to oversee things, he carried with him a secret written order from that person."

"This order sets the limits of authority, clearly stating that for the next 17 years, no one except that person is qualified to mobilize or command our deployments and personnel."

"In other words, from top to bottom, this entire defense network and resources are tilted and guaranteed only for you, the Bai family, and the Zhang family. This is the absolute trust placed in you by the top leadership, a scale and confidence that others can never reach in their entire lives."

"I still can't fully understand where this extraordinary trust came from. But I don't need to understand it, nor do I need to delve into it."

The brother-in-law stared intently at Li Dabiao with a solemn gaze, his tone sincere and weighty.

"Now that things have come to this, I'll only tell you one thing from the bottom of my heart. From this day forward, the Li family, the Bai family, and the Zhang family are completely bound together. We will share both prosperity and ruin."

"As long as you remain true to your original aspirations and do nothing to harm the country or betray the nation, all three of us will unconditionally stand behind you and support you without reservation or hesitation, just like the person who unconditionally trusted and supported you. Do you understand?"

His heartfelt words, spoken with conviction, resonated deeply in Li Dabiao's heart.

After listening quietly, most of the anxiety, entanglement, and concerns that had been building up in Li Dabiao's heart for so long dissipated instantly.

He nodded emphatically, a hint of relief and determination flashing in his eyes.

He couldn't explain much to his brother-in-law, couldn't recount the dramatic changes and growing pains of the next decade or so, and couldn't reveal the secret of his rebirth and his insight into the future.

Today, he can no longer discern whether the original historical trajectory will unfold as expected. With his entry, strategizing, and changes, too many people and events have already deviated from their original course, and the future is now full of uncertainties.

But he had already told Old Master Bai and that person everything he could and couldn't say.

The secret order personally written by that person and the exceptional trust granted to him were the most powerful answers. They were his recognition and gave him the greatest confidence and peace of mind.

Li Dabiao suddenly felt enlightened and completely let go of all his entanglements and hesitations.

After the system upgrade, his ultimate mission became clear and compelling: to unite the Li clan members worldwide, strengthen the nation, enhance China, and revitalize our land.

With such a grand vision and mission, why should he worry about the storms ahead?

Behind them lies the absolute trust and strong support of the nation.

Beside him was the unconditional support of the Bai, Zhang, and Li families, who gave him everything they had.

Before me lies the unwavering support and companionship of my family, clan, and dearest friends.

Furthermore, it possesses an incredible spatial advantage, with endless resources and unlimited potential available for allocation.

With this thought in mind, all hesitation vanished from Li Dabiao's eyes, leaving only burning determination and overwhelming confidence.

No need to worry, no need to fret.

We will go all out, live up to the trust placed in us, live up to the expectations of our country and people, and stay true to our original aspirations.

By leveraging all available advantages, cultivating strategic plans, and devoting all our efforts, we will make our great nation of China ever stronger and stand at the pinnacle of the world!
