Middle-aged tycoon: Twins come knocking on his door when he goes home for Chinese New Year

2026, April 2.

This day was the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month.

Outside Guangcheng Railway Station, the crowds were immense and the atmosphere was incredibly lively.

In a secluded corner not far from the train station, a black sedan was parked.

This car looks very impressive, and the logo is a special customized Rolls-Royce that has long been discontinued, with only one in the world.

There were two people sitting in the car.

The man in the back seat looked to be around forty years old, dressed in comfortable casual clothes.

He was very handsome, with a mature man's composure on his face, and he was holding a string of beads in his hand.

He is Li Ze.

At this moment, Li Ze was looking out the car window at the somewhat old train station sign, a hint of nostalgia in his eyes.

Sitting in the driver's seat was a burly man wearing a black suit and sunglasses.

He sat upright, like a wooden stake, without moving an inch.

He is Li Ze's personal bodyguard, codenamed "Old One".

The old man turned his head and asked respectfully:

"Boss, are you really going to take the old-fashioned green train back?"

Li Ze withdrew his gaze, smiled, and said:

"certainly."

The first one seemed a little confused:

"Boss, the private jet at home has already applied for a flight route. It only takes two hours to get to Han City by that."

"This old green train is slow, crowded, and the environment is poor. I'm worried you'll suffer."

Li Ze waved his hand, his tone relaxed:

"Old Yi, you don't understand. Planes are too fast, they arrive in a flash, it's no fun. What I want is this leisurely feeling, I want to recapture some of the memories from back then."

The older man nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

He only needs to unconditionally comply with his boss's decisions.

Because he is not an ordinary person; he is the leader of Li Ze's army of 100,000 bio-engineered humans.

He was cloned from Li Ze's genes by the system and is absolutely loyal to Li Ze.

"Alright, boss. I've prepared your ticket, and we'll be leaving in ten minutes. Also, I've arranged a convoy in Han City."

"Once you arrive at Hanshi Railway Station, the convoy will escort you directly back to Lijia Village, Xihe Town."

Li Ze nodded in satisfaction and patted Lao Yi on the shoulder:

"Old Yi, thank you for your trouble."

After saying that, Li Ze pushed open the car door and got out.

The moment his feet touched the ground, Li Ze took a deep breath.

There was no scent of expensive perfume in the air; instead, it was a mixture of various car exhaust fumes and the smell of cooking oil from roadside stalls.

But the taste felt incredibly real to him.

Looking at the familiar Guangcheng Railway Station in front of him, Li Ze's thoughts immediately drifted back to 22 years ago.

He was only 18 years old that year.

It was also at this train station, and it was also a green train.

He ran into his ex-wife, Zhang Ruoran, in the car.

A figure flashed into Li Ze's mind.

In my memory, Zhang Ruoran always had long, flowing hair.

He has a particularly beautiful smile, and just one glance at him can make his heart race for ages.

"Sigh, 22 years have passed in the blink of an eye."

Li Ze sighed softly and shook his head.

They met on a train years ago and hit it off immediately.

Later, we went to university in the same city, and got our marriage certificate right after graduation.

We had a really good relationship back then, but unfortunately, our family was really poor.

In those days, falling in love was easy, but making it work was difficult.

Being broke is like being crushed by a huge rock, making it hard to breathe.

Just when Li Ze was worrying about money, he awakened the Godly Rich System.

He originally thought that with the system, he could take Zhang Ruoran to live a life of luxury and reach the pinnacle of life.

The dog system then told him:

The system must be transferred to America to activate.

Moreover, they must remain in the United States and cannot return home until all tasks are completed.

If he doesn't go, the system will self-destruct, and Li Ze, as the host, will die along with it.

At that moment, Li Ze cursed the system and its ancestors for eighteen generations in his mind.

But there's nothing I can do; the system is giving me just too much.

In addition, having been truly terrified of poverty at that time, Li Ze gritted his teeth and made a decision.

In order to make money and to save his life, he resolutely chose to leave Zhang Ruoran.

He didn't dare tell Zhang Ruoran the truth, and left only a letter.

That departure has lasted for so many years.

Now, with the help of the system and his cyborg subordinates, Li Ze has built a vast business empire abroad.

He himself doesn't even know how much money he has now.

Anyway, someone calculated that his total assets are equivalent to the world's annual GDP.

It's no exaggeration to say that he is the richest person in the world.

Those cyborg subordinates were not only loyal, but also extremely capable, helping him manage his business in an orderly manner.

It could even be said that if Li Ze were willing, he could pass all of this on to his descendants.

Unfortunately, he had no descendants.

She left too early and later spent her time building her career abroad.

Although he was surrounded by beautiful women, he knew they were only after his money, so he was naturally ruthless towards them.

Lost in thought, Li Ze followed the flow of people into the waiting hall.

Ticket checked, enter the station.

Soon, he boarded that green train.

As soon as I entered the carriage, a complicated smell hit me.

It smelled like a mixture of instant noodles, foot odor, and sweat.

This is the unique atmosphere of a green-skinned train.

Li Ze frowned slightly.

Over the years, he has become accustomed to flying in private jets and living on luxury yachts.

Suddenly being in this environment, my body instinctively felt some resistance.

My phone vibrated in my pocket.

Li Ze took it out and saw that it was a text message sent by Lao Yi:

"Boss, I think the environment in the carriage is too bad. If you're not comfortable with it, I can have the train stopped immediately and take you off."

Li Ze looked at the text message and couldn't help but smile.

This old man is really a worrywart.

He replied with a text message:

"No need, I can manage. Don't make a fuss."

After putting his phone away, Li Ze found his seat.

This is a window seat.

After sitting down, Li Ze noticed something strange about his surroundings.

This carriage was clearly crowded; the aisle was packed with people.

However, the seats opposite him and the two seats next to him were all empty.

Without a doubt, it was arranged by the top leader.

Although the eldest brother couldn't stop the boss from taking the old-fashioned green train.

But he bought all the tickets around Li Ze's seat so that the boss could have a more spacious seat and wouldn't be squeezed by others.

Li Ze shook his head helplessly and didn't say anything more.

The carriage was noisy, with the sounds of children crying, people talking loudly on the phone, and several people playing cards together.

Li Ze leaned back in his chair, and it took him a while to adjust to the noise.

Although the environment wasn't great, he felt quite at ease.

This place evoked too many memories for him.

It seems like it was a window seat like this back then.

It was in the same noisy environment.

It was here that he met Zhang Ruoran.

At that time, Zhang Ruoran was holding two bottles of water and asked him somewhat shyly:

"Hello, may I sit here for a while?"

Li Ze was extremely thirsty at the time, and Zhang Ruoran gave him a bottle of water as a token of her gratitude.

The two of them started chatting and got to know each other because of that bottle of water.

Thinking of this, Li Ze's lips curled up slightly, revealing a bitter smile.

Just then, a clear, crisp voice suddenly rang in my ears:

"Hello, may I sit here for a while?"

The sound is beautiful, as clear as a mountain spring.

Li Ze was suddenly stunned.

This phrase sounds so familiar.

It was so familiar to him that he thought he was hallucinating.

He subconsciously raised his head.

There was a girl standing in front of me.

She looked to be just over eighteen years old, with a high ponytail and wearing a white dress.

She happened to be holding two bottles of mineral water in her hand.

Li Ze's pupils dilated instantly.

The scene before my eyes began to overlap with the images in my memory.

The same words, the same two bottles of water.

Even that dress, apart from the color being different from the one from back then, the style is exactly the same.

Most importantly, it's about the girl's appearance.

Those big eyes, that nose, that mouth...

She's practically a one-to-one replica of Zhang Ruoran!

If it weren't for the fact that she looks so young.

Li Ze even thought he had traveled through time and seen Zhang Ruoran from back then.

Li Ze was completely stunned, and subconsciously uttered the name hidden in his heart:

"Zhang Ruoran...?!"

Upon hearing the name, the girl was visibly taken aback.

She looked at Li Ze with some surprise and asked:

"That's my mother's name, sir. How did you know?"

When Li Ze heard these words, his mind went blank.

Is it her mother?

That's right.

Li Ze took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.

Although his heart was in turmoil, he remained calm and spoke gently:

"If I remember correctly, your mother should be 40 years old now, right?"

The girl's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and she said with a smile:

"Uncle, you guessed perfectly! Are you a fortune teller?"

Seeing how easygoing Li Ze was, the girl was no longer as reserved as before.

She pointed to the empty seat next to Li Ze and asked again:

"Can I sit here? Standing is too tiring."

"Of course, please sit down." Li Ze nodded quickly.

The girl sat down and handed a bottle of water to Li Ze.

"Uncle, thank you. Please have this bottle of water."

Li Ze took the water, his hands trembling slightly.

Everything about this is just too coincidental.

It's as if God deliberately arranged it.

But Li Ze was a businessman, and he knew that there weren't that many coincidences in the world.

Behind every coincidence lies an inevitable reason.

He unscrewed the water bottle, took a sip, and moistened his slightly dry throat.

Then, he turned his head and looked at the woman next to him who looked exactly like his ex-wife.

He made a bold guess in his mind.

Although this speculation sounds crazy, if it were true...

Li Ze looked into the girl's eyes and tentatively asked:

"Young lady, has your mother ever mentioned to you that she once had a husband named Li Ze?"

The girl who was drinking water almost spat it out when she heard the name Li Ze.

She stared wide-eyed at Li Ze as if he were a monster:

"How do you know all this? You even know my mother's ex-husband's name? Are you a fortune teller?!"

Upon hearing the girl's confirmation, Li Ze's heart began to pound.

If it were someone else's child, they couldn't possibly look so alike.

If it were someone else's child, it would be impossible for them to be here by such a coincidence.

An unprecedented surge of emotion overwhelmed Li Ze.

That feeling was ten thousand times more exciting than when he earned his first hundred million.

Looking at the shocked girl in front of him, he finally couldn't help but ask the question that was on the tip of his tongue.

Li Ze's voice trembled slightly:

"You...are you Zhang Ruoran's daughter?"

The girl held a water bottle in her hand, looking at Li Ze's handsome and familiar face, and suddenly seemed to remember something.

She took out a slightly yellowed old photo from her pocket, looked at the photo, and then looked at Li Ze.

Although Li Ze looks much more mature and has a better presence now than in the photos.

But the facial features and contours are exactly those of the same person.

The girl's mouth was agape in an "O" shape, her face filled with disbelief.

She stammered:

"You...are you my father...?"
