After nearly two years in Iraq, Soryu returned to this strange yet familiar land. When he stepped off the plane, he felt like embracing the earth. Sure enough, although he did not grow up here, he has a deep-rooted emotion for this country.
No one except the senior management knew that he was back. Even his mother, Lin Wanrou, was still kept in the dark. There was only one person who came to pick him up, Li Ruomo.
We haven’t seen Li Ruomo for a long time. Nothing has changed. He still feels as strong and oppressive as before. The two of them met each other but said nothing and left the airport in a tacit understanding. In the car, Li Ruomo suddenly said: "What are your plans for coming back this time?"
If you say you have no plans, you will definitely not be able to deceive Li Ruomo. This smart woman can tell whether he is lying just by looking into his eyes. Although Canglong's cover-up is not something that ordinary people can see through.
"I made it clear to the senior management that I hope they can support me," Soryu said [
"Is this going to be a showdown?" Li Ruomo said calmly while driving, "If you need any help, just tell me that I will do my best as long as I can do it."
"This may be a gamble and I, a gambler, don't know whether I will win or not. Are you sure you want to bet with me?" Canglong asked. "You must know that this will be very risky. If it doesn't succeed, it may threaten you now." status and even future prospects.”
"Since it's gambling, there must be risks." Li Ruomo said with a smile, "What's more, your status is much higher than mine now. You are the richest man in the country, the chairman of Oriental International, the acting president of Longteng International, and you also serve as the prophet of a distant country. You can throw away the halo, but I’m just a second-generation official, so there’s nothing you can’t throw away.”
"None of this is very important to me," Canglong said calmly.
"But for some people, these halos are deadly poison. They try their best to get it and finally fall into it completely. Do you know what I like best?" Li Ruomo asked
"I am not indifferent to fame and fortune. I also have vanity." Canglong said with a smile. "The reason why I can easily abandon all this and go gambling is not because I am indifferent to fame and fortune, but because I regard these things as my tools to achieve my goals." The greatest purpose”
"Oh" Li Ruomo was startled but a little excited in her heart. She had doubted Canglong for a long time. She believed that Canglong had always had his own purpose in coming to China. But after experiencing all kinds of things, Li Ruomo put away his doubts about him. Even if he had a purpose, it was definitely not true. It will harm the interests of this country
"Can you tell me what your purpose is?" Li Ruomo finally asked her, not expecting Canglong to answer.
"Freedom, I need freedom. I don't want others to control my own destiny. In fact, I have been living in a cage. Now I want to break free from the shackles given to me by the outside world." Canglong answered without hesitation, "Eliminate the organization behind me that controls my destiny."
"What if you still don't get the freedom you want after eliminating the organization behind you?" Li Ruomo grasped the key point of the problem. "Even if I am living in a cage, who is not living in a cage? How can I break away from the shackles?" Disaster"
Canglong was stunned and silent for a long time and said: "What you said about life is that there is no freedom. The so-called freedom is just what we imagine, but I still don't want my fate to be manipulated by others, or I don't want everything I have now to be manipulated again. destroy"
"What are you referring to?" Li Ruomo asked
"For my mother, sister, family, and family ties, I will give everything, even my life," Canglong said calmly.
Li Ruomo looked at Canglong in surprise. She didn't expect that the worldly aura in Canglong's eyes could not compare with these simple things. She couldn't understand what Canglong was thinking. But everyone has their own ambitions, but Li Ruomo admired Canglong now because he could always use his small skills to express his feelings. Broad
"What's your plan?" Li Ruomo asked
"There is no plan," Cang Long said calmly. "When the soldiers come, we will block the water and cover it up with the earth. Sometimes no plan is better than having a plan."
"You are still so self-righteous," Li Ruomo said sarcastically, as if the two of them were always at odds with each other when they first met.
"Maybe." But Canglong didn't refute this time.
The car sped on the highway and quickly entered the city. Li Ruomo drove him back to Nanchizi Street and prepared to leave: "I have a birthday party in a few days and I hope you can come to it."[
Li Ruomo drove away without waiting for Canglong to answer. Canglong shook his head, turned around, walked to the door and pressed the doorbell. After a while, Yu Xue's voice came from inside: "How are you?"
"I'm back," Canglong said simply.
But there was a long silence inside. After about a few minutes, the door opened. Yu Xue looked at Cang Long with tears in her eyes, saying nothing, and the two hugged each other tightly.
At this moment, another girl also ran out and watched the two hugging each other. The excited expression on Ben's face disappeared and was replaced by a jealous one: "You two, please pay attention to the impact."
At this time, the two separated. Yu Xue blushed but said nothing. Looking at the girl who looked more and more like her mother, Canglong opened her hands, but thought that the girl had not passed by, but stood there and said: "Men and women do not kiss each other."
Of course this girl is Wanwan. If Canglong remembers correctly, Wanwan is now in junior high school. Just by looking at her dress, you can tell that she has become a big girl.
"I am your brother and you are not close to me." Canglong walked over and hugged Wanwan into his arms.
Wanwan was not struggling. It was obvious that what she just said was just angry words. When did she realize that she could feel safe as long as she held her brother in her arms? This was something that no boy she had ever met could give her.
At this moment, Uncle Jia also walked out. At this time, the two brothers and sisters separated. Uncle Jia was still as calm as ever. When he saw Canglong, he just smiled and said: "Haotian is back."
"Uncle Jia" Canglong walked over and gave him a hug, but someone he was looking forward to more appeared. After letting go of Uncle Jia, he asked, "Where's my mother?"
"Mom went to Zhongnanhai and came back after a while," Wanwan said suddenly.
"What are you doing in Zhongnanhai?" Canglong asked curiously.
"You don't know yet, right? Mr. Lin has recovered and now takes over the work of Longteng International. But she asked the superiors to inform you because she didn't want you to worry." Uncle Jia quickly explained, "You are the acting president and she is now taking over as president again, but it's your fault." The position remains the same because you are responsible for handling affairs in Iraq and Mr. Lin is responsible for handling affairs at home and in other regions."
"That's it." Canglong nodded, "How about we give her a surprise?"
"Okay, okay, brother, you don't know that mom misses you when you're not here. She will mention you as soon as she calls back. I don't know how happy he would be if he knows you've called back," Wanwan said with a smile.
"Since you are so sincere, how about your sister Yu Xue being the chef for tonight's dinner, so I can help you wash the dishes?" Canglong said, looking at Wanwan.
"I don't want you to do the dishes for me to help Sister Yu Xue," Wanwan said unhappily.
"Okay" Canglong nodded and agreed, putting down the things and the two siblings walked to the kitchen.
By the time Lin Wanrou returned, they had already prepared a table of dishes. Of course, all of them were due to Yu Xue. In Wanwan's words, her brother was completely unhelpful in the kitchen.
When the doorbell rang again, Canglong took Wanwan and ran out. When he reached the door, Wanwan said, "Brother, hide behind."
"Why?" Canglong asked curiously
"Don't you want to surprise mom? Listen to me and hide behind the door," Wanwan instructed [
Canglong shrugged and had no choice but to hide behind the door. Then Wanwan opened the door and said with a smile: "Mom, you're back."
But soon Canglong found that her smile had solidified. Almost subconsciously, Canglong walked out from behind the door and stood behind Wanwan. He finally knew why the smile on Wanwan's face had solidified because there were three people standing at the door. One was his mother and the other was...
The other of his grandfather is his nominal father Long Yunshan
The three of them were surprised by Canglong's appearance. Apparently, his mother, Lin Wanrou, already knew that he had returned through her connections with the General Intelligence Agency, but he thought that Long Yunshan would also appear.
"Grandpa Mom," Canglong said politely. Long Yunshan's appearance aroused all his vigilance, but he soon discovered that he seemed to be the outsider in this family. It was normal for Long Yunshan to return, but when he arrived here,
Something is abnormal
"I'll see you later." After saying this, Canglong put away his apron and handed it to Wanwan and walked out.
But Lin Wanrou held his hand and said, "This is your home, where are you going?"
"Go where I should go," Canglong said coldly.
But at this moment, Long Yunshan said nothing and walked in. The atmosphere at the door became awkward. Seeing this, Lin Wanrou understood something. She walked up to Cang Long and said: "You are my son, and you have a share in this family, unless you don't want to."
Recognize me as mother"
"How is that possible?" Canglong said
"Then follow me in. I have something very important to tell you," Lin Wanrou said.
At this time, grandpa Lin Guodong also spoke: "You kid, even if you don't give face to your mother, why don't you give some face to my grandpa?"
"Brother and dad are actually not as good as you think. Sometimes, don't leave, okay? Wanwan finally waited for you to come back and didn't want to let you go." Wanwan also walked past Canglong, who was holding on tightly.
hand
Soryuna wants to leave because he doesn't want to make the atmosphere awkward. He is not afraid if he comes face to face with Long Yunshan over interests, but this is family.
But at this time, no matter whether it was his mother, grandpa, or Wanwan's plea, he could not refuse.
"If that's the case, let's face it," Cang Long thought in his heart, then nodded to them and walked back with Wanwan in hand.
