Don't call me a singing god, I just want to go back to doing scientific research.

Therefore, the fact that the Gu family is feared by all other families in China means that its influence is not limited to China. It has branches in almost every major country abroad. In the United States, the Gu family's industries and VC brands are actually not much different.

"No wonder," Ling Luo murmured. No wonder Gu Feng was able to hire Cornwall Wright, the American legal strategist, as the defense attorney for Pecking Eagle.

"Yang Bao, let's come together next time, and I'll visit you again," Ling Luo said softly, her voice reaching Gu Yang's ears through the microphone.

Gu Yang was taken aback. "Why? Fourth Uncle is very powerful."

Upon hearing this, Ling Luo pinched her index finger and thumb together: "I know, Yang Bao, listen to me."

He knew, of course, that the people in the Gu family who controlled the overseas market were quite capable, but he was unwilling to bring down the Gu family.

Everyone in the Gu family loved Gu Yang dearly, and Gu Yang was very attached to them.

Gu Yang grunted twice in dissatisfaction, then added another note to his notebook: "Fine, I'll listen to you. We'll go together next time."

Then, changing the subject, "By the way, the group assignments for next week's 'New Voice' have been released. I've been paired with you and senior Le Hong, and Le Hong is going to try and sabotage you."

Le Hong?

Guanghe Gold Medal Creator won the championship in the "New Creator Camp" three years ago, and was awarded the title of Gold Medal Creator last year. This year, he created "Broken Willow" for Yun Xinyi.

He also commented at the time that the song was good, but it failed because of the choice of singer.

Ling Luo recalled Le Hong's information in his mind and nodded. "What's the topic?"

  

"There are no restrictions on the theme, but the song needs to have Russian elements."

Russian elements, whether in musical style or cultural background, pose a very, very big challenge for the younger generation of creators.

"Ling Luo, do you have time to write songs?" Gu Yang asked softly. Actually, he felt a little sorry for Ling Luo, who was so busy right now.

"Don't worry, there's time. Who did you choose as the singer?"

Gu Yang threw off the covers and got out of bed. He opened the wardrobe, held up the clothes to himself with one hand, and called Ling Luo with his phone in the other: "I chose Binbin because Binbin speaks Russian. Hehe, Binbin was the one who said he speaks Russian, otherwise I wouldn't have known."

Upon hearing this, Ling Luo chuckled, already imagining Gu Yang and Suo Binbin whispering to each other in the audience. She immediately praised, "Yang Bao made a very good choice."

Ling Luo heard sparse voices coming from the other end of the phone, "What is Yang Bao doing?"

"I'm picking out clothes," Gu Yang said, looking at the clothes he was trying on in the mirror. He thought they weren't good enough and decided to change into another one. "Auntie is meeting my parents today. You can be busy and not be there, but I have to go."

Upon hearing this, Ling Luo's fingers unconsciously tightened, and her eyes darkened.

He's not in now.

He was imprisoned for his mission and had to proceed cautiously in a foreign land.

And the most important person in his life is taking an important step in planning for their future.

Ling Luo couldn't imagine what kind of mood Gu Yang, a person who would get so nervous in front of his teacher, would be in when attending the meeting banquet between the two families.

A bittersweet feeling welled up inside me at the same time, and my eyes reddened slightly.

This silly girl is pretending to be strong again.

If he were here, Gu Yang would definitely run into his arms, sweetly whining and saying he was scared and worried.

Instead of having to carefully choose suitable clothes for myself while worrying about him, as is the case now.

Ling Luo took a deep breath.

He wants to go home.

"Lingluo? Wei? Are you listening?" Gu Yang asked, somewhat puzzled, after receiving no response.

Ling Luo's Adam's apple bobbed, her throat a little dry: "Yes."

"Then you can call me secretly later, and I can listen in on the conversation, okay?"

"Uh... what kind of twisted sense of humor is this?" Gu Yang's eyes were also red; he hadn't felt well since seeing Ling Luo's Weibo post. "Fine, this young master will grant your request."

The two exchanged a few more words before hanging up.

Ling Luo checked the time; it was only noon in China, and there were still several hours before the two families met that evening.

Ling Luo entered the memory palace, first retrieved the songs for the next episode, then continued reading inside, leaving just in time.

As soon as I came out, I received a message from Gu Yang's Green Bubble.

Are you awake?

【[peep]】

The banquet is about to begin.

Ling Luo's lips curled slightly as she made a video call. Gu Yang answered the call in just two seconds.

Ling Luo glanced at the buildings behind Gu Yang: "Yang Bao, are you at the Haitian Hotel?"

"Yes, my parents and I just arrived." Gu Yang said, then panned the camera to his parents.

Seeing this, the mother leaned closer and asked, "Xiao Ling, how are you doing in America?"

"Hello Auntie, hello Uncle," Ling Luo quickly sat up straight. "I'm doing well here. I was planning to go back after the interview, but something came up and I'm so sorry I had to miss this meeting, Uncle and Auntie."

"It's alright, it's nothing, as long as you're alright," the mother said with a smile. They already knew that Ling Luo had gone to America, and they hadn't expected to see her this time.

Originally, waiting for Ling Luo wouldn't have been a bad idea, but after thinking about it, Ling's mother also had things to do at home, and they couldn't keep waiting indefinitely, as it would delay things. That's why they decided to meet today.

The father extended his hand: "Gu Yang, let me talk to Ling Luo. You take your mother inside first."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yang nodded blankly: "Then don't hang up the phone, okay? Ling Luo wants to hear your conversation later."

"Hiss," upon hearing this, the father wanted to kick Gu Yang and give him a hard time on the butt. He wasn't even married yet, and he was already siding with outsiders. "Get out of here right now."

Seeing Gu Yang hurriedly pull his mother inside, he sighed. Fortunately, one of his two sons and one daughter could stay at home, otherwise he would have been disgusted to death.

Thinking about it, he turned his head to look at Ling Luo on his phone screen and asked sternly, "Did something happen in America?"

Ling Luo was taken aback for a moment, then smiled. The former head of the Gu family was indeed worthy of his reputation: "Uncle, don't worry, I can handle it."

"I know you can handle it, but as citizens of the Dragon Kingdom, there are some things our family can't escape, and can't escape, such as your second uncle's family who are in the military."

Ling Luo remained silent for a moment upon hearing this.

Seeing this, the late father sighed and said, "Go find your fourth uncle. I've sent you his contact information. I've already spoken to him. The people protecting you are on their way and should be arriving at your hotel soon."

"Uncle, there's no need for that. I can get back safely."

The late father shook his head: "I know, but I don't like potential dangers. You must remember this saying: A wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall."

"Your plan is perfect, but you're putting yourself in their shoes too seriously. What if they don't care about public opinion or your reputation? Would you still be safe?"

Ling Luo was startled by his late father's words. He didn't interrupt and listened quietly to his father's admonition: "Ling Luo, you tend to think the best of people, but you must remember that there is never a shortage of people with nothing to lose in this world. Once they have no bottom line, your bottom line will become the opening for them to break you down."

Ling Luo opened her mouth, then lowered her head to ponder her late father's words.

It's certainly not impossible, and how often has the other party done something like this?

Many are willing to take risks, as long as the profits are large enough.

"I understand, Uncle."

Upon hearing this, the late father nodded in satisfaction. "Yes, stay with your fourth uncle. In a couple of days, when it's quieter outside, have your fourth uncle bring you back."

He spoke cryptically, but Ling Luo still understood what her late father's silence meant.

It seems that the Gu family holds an extraordinary position in the country, otherwise they wouldn't know such secret mission information.

It's possible that the second branch of the family discussed it with the late father, but either way, it was to protect him.

Ling Luo nodded. "Okay, thank you, Uncle."
