Tu Yao is smart and kind-hearted by nature, and she is kind to others. She is a good candidate to take charge of the family. These days, she has arranged for the soldiers and civilians of Holy Light City, gathered the hearts of the whole clan, rebuilt their homes, and healed the wounds of the war. Everything has been done in an orderly manner. Ling Hao looked at it Also quite gratified. Tu Yao repeatedly tried to persuade him to stay, but Ling Hao had no choice but to return as fast as an arrow and decided to leave, so he had to send everyone's fishing boat out of this "space of unknown time". Before leaving, Tu Yao said to Ling Hao: "Remember, the door of Tumi City will always be open to you. We signed the Abyss Contract, and the Abyss clan will always serve you. If you need help, remember to come back to me. .With this 'mysterious stone', you can freely enter and exit this space." After saying that, he put a pebble as big as a pigeon egg and like a magnet into Ling Hao's hand. Ling Hao didn't refuse, and took it with a smile. After saying goodbye to Yiyi, he took the boat with everyone and sailed into the vast sea.
There was not much fuel on the broken fishing boat, and the diesel engine was temporarily repaired without replacement parts. It did not dare to drive fast at all, so it could only move slowly on the sea. Fortunately, after leaving the "space of unknown time", the communication system on the ship returned to normal. Everyone took turns using radio to contact the outside world. In less than two days, they successfully contacted the mercenaries of the "Blackwater Company" .
In the past few months, the "Camel" and the mercenary team of "Blackwater Company" have suffered a lot. They have been searching the sea under the high pressure from Anne's family and the company, and each of them has lost several layers of skin due to the sun. My skin has lost a lot of weight. As soon as they received the signal from Ling Hao and the others, they immediately rushed over to join them as if they had received an amnesty. When they saw that Annie was fine, every one of these murderous mercenaries felt like crying.
Now that the person has been found, everyone has boarded the mercenary ship, and the "Blackwater Company" has completed the task, it is natural to take Anne to report to the Rothschild family. Seeing the pitiful appearance of the mercenaries, although Anne wants to follow Ling Hao and the others were together, but they felt guilty and had no choice but to go with them. Ling Hao brought his comrades back to China. For this mission, the brothers all went beyond their holidays. There was a lot of panic at home and in the workplace. The police were called, and missing persons notices were issued. It's just a matter of time to hold a memorial service. Ling Hao felt so sorry that he stuffed each of them with a big red envelope of 500,000 yuan, and quickly let them go back. Anyway, he was a real rich man now, and he was happy to help his old comrades.
He ignored the trivial matters and waited for Ling Hao to return to Hong Kong City with Tian Yong and Xueting. He was immediately dumbfounded. Cheng Zhuxin was waiting at the door of the villa with a dark face. Shi Si and others seemed not too happy to see their faces. .
Ling Hao quickly smiled at Zhu Xin and said, "When did you come to Hong Kong City? Are you finished with the case at hand?"
Before Zhuxin could speak, Shi Si took over the conversation and said angrily: "Miss Anne has been missing for several months. Not only has it alarmed the officials, it is about to alarm the United Nations. You who go to save people are just like meat." Baozi disappeared like a dog. Who knows whether you were in any danger or eloped with someone, but not even a little bit of information was sent back."
Ling Hao blushed and laughed twice, and then Zhuxin said: "Maybe you don't know yet, but Anne was kidnapped, and the Rothschild family just started to organize their own rescue efforts, but there was no result after a month. , I became anxious, and the Chinese official and Interpol were alerted. After two months of searching at sea, I caught a lot of pirates, smugglers, and smugglers, but there was no news about the real owner. I even led people to find him. They arrived at Xuanyue Island and saw traces of the explosion. Half of the island sank to the bottom of the sea. Shi Si and the others even used the "Pippi Shrimp" to dive into the bottom of the sea to search. They had been busy for more than a month, and Shi Si was so anxious that he burst into tears. Liaopao, if I hadn't persuaded them all to come back, they would still be looking for you at sea. Fortunately, I heard this morning that the Anne people had been found and were taking a special flight back to Scotland, so we were relieved. You After you rescued someone, why didn't you want to contact your family first to make sure they were safe?"
Zhu Xin's tone was calm, but there was a sullen expression on his face. Ling Hao was standing at the gate, while Xueting and Tian Yong were watching the joke with evil smiles on their faces. It seemed that if they didn't say something nice today, they might not even be able to get married. Don't even think about entering the house.
A hint of sadness suddenly appeared on Ling Hao's face. He gently took Zhu Xin's hand and said, "Although I have been trapped overseas these past few months, I can imagine the situation at home. How could I not know that you are... We are so worried, but it’s just that in the past few months of life and death at sea, everyone’s mobile phones have been damaged by seawater, and we are trapped in a completely isolated place with no signal, and we can’t contact you even if we want to.” So Ling Hao narrated the legendary experience during this period with added detail and vividness. Everyone was dumbfounded, and Shi Si looked at Xueting in disbelief for confirmation. Ling Hao held Zhu Xin's hand affectionately and said, "As soon as the three of us got out of trouble, we rushed back home. All I could think about was your faces, and I just wanted to see you earlier." Everyone, don’t you remember that you should call a phone first to report that you are safe? This is my fault. I will reflect on it and never dare to do it again."
Seeing Ling Hao's funny behavior, Zhu Xin didn't really care about him and pulled Shi Si out of the way: "Hurry in and wash up. We have prepared a banquet to welcome the wind and calm down your shock later."
Ling Hao felt like he was being pardoned, and he took Xueting and Tian Yong into the door and went upstairs to wash up.
The reception banquet was very lively and everyone drank a lot of wine. Tian Yong also changed from his usual dull demeanor and boasted about the war under the sea of the Abyss clan, while Xueting explained in detail how to annihilate the Skua pirate gang. of the process. After drinking until early in the morning, everyone else was drunk, but Ling Hao and Zhu Xin were still sober. The former saw that Zhu Xin did not let go of the drink, so he knew that there would be something to say after the meal, so he did not drink too much.
After returning to the room, the two of them didn't waste any time. They were in their youth, and they were in deep and passionate love. As the saying goes, a day without seeing each other is like three autumns. In the past few months, not only have they not seen each other, they have not even heard from each other. How can you not miss one? Naturally, I want to be tender and gentle to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
The moonlight shines on the bed through the thin window screen, gentle and intoxicating. Ling Hao is leaning on the head of the bed, and Zhu Xin is nestled in his arms. Time seems to have slowed down at this moment. She caressed Ling Hao's kindness with her fingers. chest, whispering in a voice as light as a baby swallow: "Your experience now is getting more and more bizarre. I feel it is even more exaggerated than what is written in the novel. The power of the Dragon Ball is really amazing, even the old scars on your body can be seen It’s not here, if you hadn’t explained it, I would have thought you were not the same Ling Hao you were before.”
"I thought you were going to say that I was taking random risks and neglecting my own life." Ling Hao said with a smile.
Zhu Xin rolled her eyes at him: "Is it useful if I say it? Why don't you go into the water where you should? But I also want to understand. You are the albatross in the sky. I can't keep you on the ground and confine you. For those who enter the cage, instead of you blaming me when the time comes, it is better to let you do what you like freely. As long as you care about me in your heart and don't want me to become a widow at a young age, then you should consider it carefully when you enter the water. Risks, where you can go and where you can't go, you have to know it in your mind and protect yourself."
"Okay, I will keep it in mind and not fight an uncertain battle." Ling Hao stroked Zhu Xin's smooth hair and replied seriously.
"This time it is to save Annie, so forget it. After all, she is considered a noble person to you in her career. Although it is purposeful, she has indeed spared no effort to create a multinational company, allowing you to grow from the boss of a small diving company. , became the major shareholder of the group company. But we can’t risk our lives like this anymore." Zhu Xin pinched the soft flesh on the inside of Ling Hao’s arm and muttered, while Ling Hao grimaced in pain and nodded like a chicken eating rice. Similar.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Xin said solemnly: "In two days, you and I will go back to the capital. My parents want to see you."
Ling Hao's heart suddenly "thumped". Although he knew that sooner or later he would meet his parents, the sudden arrival of this moment still felt a bit sudden, so that he was stunned for a while, a little at a loss.
"What? You don't want to?"
"This...is this a formal meeting with the parents?"
"How do I know? They decided to see you on their own. I didn't participate at all, let alone instigate it. Whether it's official or not depends on what you talked about. You don't want me to help with this kind of thing. Can you control it? After all, you haven't told me what you think. Wouldn't it be boring if I shaved my head and had a hot head?" Zhu Xin glanced sideways at Ling Hao, his face full of teasing.
Ling Hao got busy the next day. He first called Jiang Min, the head of the Asia headquarters of "Dinasta Jewelry Group" in Shanghai. Jiang Min then called the Hong Kong branch of the group. Tiangang When it was dark, Chen Xueer, the young owner of Hong Kong Island's "Saturday Fortune" jewelry, had already flown from Hong Kong Island to Hong Kong City and arrived at Ling Hao's villa.
Ling Hao knows that "Saturday Fortune" is also a famous jewelry luxury goods dealer in Hong Kong. Now it is 40% controlled by "Dinasta Jewelry Group". It is definitely considered "one of its own", and they have the most A good pearl jewelry designer and processing workshop, Ms. Chen Xueer, who is nearly 40 years old and dressed in jewels, is one of the most famous pearl jewelry designers in the world. She also serves as the Hong Kong branch of "Dinaste Jewelry Group" person in charge.
"Mr. Ling, I have brought everything here. You can pick what you like and I will take the rest back." Chen Xueer sat on the sofa opposite Ling Hao and Zhu Xin with a smile, and put a portable password box on Open on the coffee table.
Ling Hao was not polite and opened the box. There were more than a dozen boxes of various sizes inside, full of them. Inside the blue velvet flat boxes are sets of pearl necklaces and earrings, including black pearls, golden pearls, and even pink Kong Ke pearl necklaces.
Ling Hao directly picked up the Kong Ke beads necklace and looked at it carefully. Kong Ke beads are a very expensive conch bead variety, and the price is extremely exaggerated. This necklace is made of more than thirty soybean-sized Kong Ke beads, inlaid with hundreds of broken diamonds. Especially the Kong Ke pearl in the middle, which weighs about five carats, is round and plump, with bright pink flame patterns that are unrestrained and full of mystery. There is also a pair of Kongke pearl earrings with a diameter of one centimeter. They have reached an almost perfect circle. The color and texture are so similar that it is difficult to distinguish them with the naked eye. They can be said to be one of a kind. Such quality naturally comes from Ling Hao's and his group's harvest in the South Pacific.
"That's it. Just put it in my account and let the financial staff deduct it from my dividends." Ling Hao didn't even ask the price. He handed the set of jewelry to Zhu Xin beside him, and then checked it out of the lock box. I opened several boxes containing watches and looked at them.
Chen Xueer is such a shrewd person. She can tell at a glance that this jewelry is used to win the heart of a beautiful woman. Ling Hao doesn't care about the price, so she has to make her boss more famous. "Mr. Ling is indeed an expert. This set of jewelry is the best we have so far. It took more than four months to design and process it. Its name is 'Caribbean Dream'. If it is auctioned on the market , it must be worth at least 5 million euros."
When Zhuxin heard the price, she almost dropped the necklace box in her hand: "Ling Hao, are you crazy?! Why don't you scare my mother by giving such expensive jewelry!"
Ling Hao picked up a diving watch from the Blancpain Fifty Fathoms series, looked at it, and asked, "How much does this watch cost?"
"30,000 US dollars." Chen Xueer glanced at Zhuxin and replied cautiously.
Zhuxin pinched Ling Hao's thigh and said, "I'm talking to you!"
Ling Hao said nonchalantly: "My aunt is a famous pianist. She often performs abroad and attends high-end occasions. She should have a better set of jewelry. Just don't tell her the actual price." He said. Then, he shook the "Blancpain Fifty Fathoms" series diving watch towards Chen Xueer: "I want this, just in time to give it to Tian Yong as a wedding gift."
Zhuxin frowned and said, "You also know that my mother often attends formal occasions. Do you think she doesn't know the difference? Let's change to a cheaper one. This one is too expensive."
Ling Hao then turned his head, smiled and held her hand and said, "I'm in this business, so naturally I can't use market prices to calculate the value of these things. Besides, you can't be measured by value in my heart. , if I don’t have that ability, that’s it. Since I do, I will naturally give you the best, even for your mother. Let’s not mention the copper odor. This is my wish. Just let Auntie keep it. That's it." After saying that, Ling Hao picked up another ultra-thin watch from the "Vacheron Constantin" and "Across the World" series. This watch is made of fine steel and has a blue dial. It is solemn and unassuming, and is very suitable for middle-aged successful people. The label shows that it costs HKD 1.02 million. "This is good. My future father-in-law is an industrialist, so this watch suits him very well."
While Zhu Xin was stunned, Ling Hao completed this "door-to-door shopping" and sent Chen Xueer out of the door. Zhu Xin finally realized that Ling Hao was no longer the small boss who worked hard to run a small diving company. He was now one of the bosses of a multinational business group and a truly rich man. I was once worried that my parents would look down on Ling Hao's family, but now this worry is completely gone.
Two days later, Ling Hao followed Cheng Zhuxin to her home in "Wanliu Academy" in Haidian District, Beijing. Ling Hao has been in the shopping mall for many years, and he used to have some understanding of the living circles of wealthy people. Beijing is definitely a place where every inch of land is at a premium, especially within the Third Ring Road, where housing prices are frighteningly high. Among them, the "Wanliu Academy" in Haidian District has long been famous, not only for its housing price of 160,000 square meters and a large apartment of several hundred square meters. The apartments are multi-storey, and those who come in and out of the community are either rich or expensive. Many top wealthy businessmen and A-list stars gather here. The environment is like a paradise, and the security system is the world's top. Not to mention the paparazzi who are all-pervasive, and the thieves who fly over the walls. I'm afraid I won't be able to do anything here.
"Well, I knew before that your family was well off, but you never said your family was so rich." Ling Hao's heart trembled as he looked at the building that looked like a palace in the community.
"You didn't even ask, which shows that you don't care enough about me. Why, are you scared now? It's their business to have money. I'm just a little policeman. Well, no matter how rich they are, they may not be richer than you. Let's go!" Zhu Xin shook her short Vassoon hair, suppressed a smile and patted Ling Hao on the shoulder, pulling him to open the door.
"Dad, Mom! I'm back! Come here and see who I brought back!" As soon as she entered the door, Zhu Xin pulled Ling Hao to put on her slippers. She hung her coat and bag on the hanger, and pulled Her voice was just shouting, as casually as a girl who hadn't grown up yet.
Ling Hao was holding large and small bags in his hands, standing stiffly in the entrance hall and observing the surroundings. The house was very spacious, with simple Chinese decoration, rich mahogany furniture, and a lot of books on the bookshelf, both Chinese and Western. Wenzhou, calligraphy, paintings and antique porcelain are everywhere, and there is a strong cultural atmosphere. It is by no means the kind of operation put on by the nouveau riche to show off, but the real atmosphere of the scholarly people. What's even more interesting is that there is an antique piano placed next to the wall. It is in a typical Baroque style and is at least a hundred years old. There are still piano scores on the music stand. It seems that Zhu Xin's pianist mother is still playing. This piano.
"Zhu Xin is back. It's rare to come home on time this time." A kind middle-aged female voice sounded, and then a middle-aged woman with a kind smile walked out of the kitchen. Ling Hao knew that this was Zhu Xin. Xin's mother, Lu Wanjun, has an unmistakable temperament. Her long black hair was tied casually into a ponytail at the back of her head. Although the years had inevitably left some traces on her face, her slender figure, slightly modified makeup, and the radiance that exuded from the inside out Elegant and elegant, even if she is wearing an apron at this moment, she still looks like an artist. She looked only about forty years old, but Ling Hao knew that this future mother-in-law was already in her fifties.
"Ling Hao is here, don't stand there, come in and sit down. The child's father, the daughter is back, why don't you come down?" Lu Wanjun looked up and down at Ling Hao with a smile on her face. He was wearing a casual suit today. , black trousers and handmade calfskin shoes. The short cropped hair was done at a high-end hair salon yesterday for 500 yuan. The overall look is lean and handsome, and it matches Zhuxin very well. The more Lu Wanjun looked at it, the more satisfied she became, and she smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth.
"Mom, how can you stare at people like this? It's like going through a security check. No matter how thick-skinned you are, you can't stand it." Zhu Xin teased with a smile, took Lu Wanjun's arm, and acted coquettishly like a bone candy. Come.
Ling Hao was blushing and was pulled into the living room by Zhu Xin and pressed down on the mahogany sofa. Lu Wanjun took the various fruits and Lingnan specialties from Ling Hao's hand and muttered: "It's good that you are here, what else should you bring?" Ah, it’s true.”
Zhuxin's house is a two-story high-ceiling design. As the stairs rang, steady footsteps came, followed closely by a middle-aged man wearing home clothes, glasses, gray hair, and a serious look on his face. Stepping into the living room, this is Cheng Linfeng, Cheng Zhuxin's father.
Ling Hao immediately stood up and stood upright: "Hello, uncle."
Cheng Linfeng just let out a "hmm" in his nostrils, then slowly sat on the main seat of the sofa, and slowly brewed Kung Fu tea: "It can be seen that you are indeed from the army. Zhu Xin told us about your affairs. A lot of time has passed, and the days of your relationship are not short. I wonder what your plans are in the future?"
The words went straight to the main point, and Ling Hao immediately said firmly: "I want to marry Zhuxin, and I hope you can agree."
The corner of Cheng Linfeng's mouth raised in an arc: "Why do you think I will marry my precious daughter to you?"
"..." The atmosphere suddenly became awkward, and Ling Hao almost choked to death at this sentence.
