The war was raging in the country, and Ye Haoran didn't stop here either. He took his brothers who offered incense to pay homage, and their families across the ocean, not to avoid the war.
American capital is king.
With so many years of accumulation, the Ye family has already become famous in the local area.
After Ye Haoran came, the first thing he did was to marry Gu Xiaomeng. After this girl was prevented from returning to China by Ye Haoran, she settled down in the Ye family.
After that, the road to expansion began. With money and people, assets expanded very quickly.
On the surface, he is doing business, including real estate, financial investment, and everything else. As long as he makes money, Ye Haoran will get involved.
Behind the scenes, they also do some invisible things, including threats, coercion, bribes, nourishing gangs, etc.
What they want is not territory or money, but information.
Technical information, scientific and technological information, as much as you need, killing foreign Japanese scientists is just like playing tricks, and the Ye family has long been targeted by relevant local departments.
Due to the Ye family's money, power and protective umbrella, they did not dare to take action easily. If they caught the tail, they would push a few younger brothers to take the blame.
There are not just Chinese immigrants here, there are Asan, Vietnamese, Malay and Xiaohei, etc. As long as the money is in place, there are many people who will take the blame.
As time passed, the Ye family's crazy expansion in the United States finally attracted resistance from white people.
One day, Ye Haoran was driving on the road while sitting in a car. A passing car stuck out its gun and pointed in Ye Haoran's direction. The driver reacted quickly and evaded instantly.
When he wanted to stop the car and continue shooting, he was directly shot to death by another person in Ye Haoran's car. This person was Pan Hanqing.
Ye Haoran was unlucky to be shot in the stomach, but fortunately he survived when he was rescued in time.
After this incident, everyone in the Ye family was sent back to Hong Kong by Ye Haoran. Ye Haoran's sons and daughters took most of their wealth back to build the motherland, as well as the scientific and technological information collected over the years.
Only one person stayed with him.
This person is A Bao.
"Old man, I followed you when I was 16 years old. After so many years of ups and downs, where else can I go?"
"well!"
Abao's wrinkled hands held Ye Haoran's hand tightly: "My son is old and has made a difference. He will take good care of his family. If I stay with you, you have a companion."
It's not that Ye Haoran doesn't want to leave, it's that he can't leave.
He has been targeted for a long time and has no way to leave the country. He spent a lot of manpower and material resources to get his family to leave.
The assets are even offshored through smuggling, otherwise no one would be able to return intact.
In the third year after his family returned to Hong Kong, Gu Xiaomeng, who missed him too much, left first. Ye Haoran locked himself in the room and cried.
Later, I would contact my family in Hong Kong every day by phone to express my pain of missing him. The children wanted to come to the United States to see him, but they were stopped by Ye Haoran.
Although Li Zhongfei has little power in the country, he still has a lot of face.
With Ye Haoran's guidance, he certainly knew how to choose. It can be said that Li Zhongfei put in a lot of effort during the decisive battle.
Not to mention the huge amount of materials Ye Haoran donated before leaving.
Ye Haoran believes that Li Zhongfei will take good care of the Ye family.
Parting was painful, but no one could change Ye Haoran's decision. Everyone could only follow Ye Haoran's instructions to leave the foreign land and return to Hong Kong.
As spring goes and autumn comes, Ye Haoran and Abao, a lonely couple, have been living in the American countryside.
Ah Bao was doing better, but Ye Haoran had suffered a gunshot wound and his health was deteriorating, even to the point where Ah Bao needed to push a wheelchair for a walk.
until the late sixties.
Abao and Ye Haoran welcomed the opportunity to return to China.
During a prisoner exchange during the US-Vietnam War, Li Zhongfei called the central government, hoping to add Ye Haoran to the prisoner list.
At this time, Li Zhongfei was already an old man. Song Lu's good brothers had left one by one. Even Lin Huai passed away in Hong Kong some time ago.
The older a person gets, the more he misses him. When Li Zhongfei learned from Pan Hanqing's letter that Ye Haoran was still alive, he couldn't wait to see the guiding light in his heart again.
In this way, Abao pushed Ye Haoran in a wheelchair and boarded the ship to Hong Kong.
After many twists and turns, he finally landed in Hong Kong.
"Shizhen, you are Shizhen, Ningyu, haha, Ningyu, you are laughing, are you...Lanxin? You are still so young!"
"Uuuu...Dad, I am your eldest daughter! My mother is gone and I miss you so much!"
Ye Haoran's eldest daughter was born to Du Lanxin, and she looked very similar to her mother.
But Ye Haoran seemed unable to hear her cries.
His eyes moved around: "Where's my brother Lin Huai? My brother, Lin Huai, is the bad guy!"
On the pier, everyone from the Ye family came to pick up Ye Haoran, with excitement and tears on everyone's face.
But some of the people he met would never be seen again.
"Are you... Du Lanxin? Shizhen, you are Shizhen! Ning Yu, haha. Ning Yu laughed, Abao, where did Abao go?"
"Old man, I'm here, I'm here!"
Everyone saw something was wrong with Ye Haoran. They looked at the thin old man sitting in the wheelchair. Although he still had some traces of his past, his eyes were dull and lacked the wise gaze of the past.
"Dad! Dad, what's wrong with you, Dad!"
"Mom, what's wrong with my dad!"
"Dad, what's wrong with you?"
"Woo~"
"Why are you crying? Hold it back!" Abao shouted angrily, causing everyone to shut their mouths, but they couldn't stop the tears.
Abao pushed the wheelchair and said as he walked: "Today is a happy day to go home. Don't cry!"
Across the crowd, Abao pushed Ye Haoran into a special car. This car didn't go anywhere. Except for a few old people, the remaining children were left on the spot by Abao.
The car traveled all the way through the city and arrived at Luohu Port. After a brief inspection, the car set off again.
"You are Shizhen! You are Ningyu! Abao, where did Abao go?"
"Honey, I'm here, we're going home!"
Abao's tears couldn't stop flowing down, but Ye Haoran didn't seem to feel the sadness, and instead moved the corners of his mouth to smile.
"Yes, go home, I want to go home, I want to go home."
Along the way, Ye Haoran kept saying that he wanted to go home. He didn't react to anyone he saw. Whenever he saw Feng Shizhen or Li Ningyu, he would repeat it.
The military plane arrived in Songlu. As soon as he got off the plane, there were many people waiting for him. The first one to appear was the little old man Li Zhongfei.
"Mr. Ye! You are finally back!"
"who are you?"
"I am Zhongfei, I am Li Zhongfei, don't you remember?"
"Li Zhongfei, you are Li Zhongfei, brother, beware of the little devils and hurry up and train. I bought a cannon for you..."
"Mr. Ye! What are you doing?"
"Zhongfei, hurry up and train, I'll buy you a cannon..."
Looking at the somewhat foolish Ye Haoran, Li Zhongfei already understood.
With a 'pop', Li Zhongfei looked at Ye Haoran who was all muttering, and knelt down directly in front of him, with tears in his eyes, and his thoughts seemed to have returned to that war-torn era.
It seemed like he was back to the night when Ye Haoran persuaded him to rebel, and the countless teachings and encouragements.
At that time, it was he, Li Zhongfei, who was the dominant one, but it was Ye Haoran who withstood the pressure of the Kuomintang.
"Zhongfei, beware of the little devil..."
Looking at the unconscious Ye Haoran, Li Zhongfei burst into tears and loudly shouted with trembling lips: "Zhongfei was born in a grassy family. Fortunately, he was respected by his husband. He was grateful all the time and followed him to quell the chaos and resist the enemy;
However, as time goes by, Sister Rong's family has been destroyed. Today, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, and my husband's wish has come true. Zhongfei is left alone, just waiting for my husband to come home. Mr. Ye, welcome home. "
Ye Haoran acted as if he hadn't heard Li Zhongfei's words and looked around stupidly:
"Abao, where has my Abao gone?"
"Husband, I'm here. I'm going home now."
"Yes, go home, I want to go home!"
The people who came to pick him up all watched this scene with tears in their eyes, including many important leaders.
"These are the older generation of revolutionaries!"
When Abao pushed Ye Haoran's wheelchair to the door of Ye's Garden.
This place has been renovated a lot, but it still retains its original appearance, with the same iron gate and the same pavilion.
A familiar picture came into Ye Haoran's eyes.
this moment.
Ye Haoran seemed to be young again, and his eyes returned to the wise Ye Haoran.
"Hahaha! I'm back! I'm finally home. Bao, push me in quickly."
"husband?"
"What's wrong, Bao, come in, I want to see if our family has changed."
Feng Shizhen stepped forward in surprise: "Brother Ran, are you okay?"
"Se-zhen, you haven't changed, you're still so beautiful!"
When Shizhen and Abao were surprised, only Li Ningyu's expression changed wildly. From the moment Ye Haoran got off the ship in Hong Kong, Li Ningyu shed tears for the first time.
"Sister, let's go in first."
Li Ningyu urged Abao.
Ye Haoran tilted his head: "Ning Yu, why are you crying? Oh, the thousand-year-old iceberg I exchanged for materials will also cry, hahaha!"
After wiping away her tears, Li Ningyu looked at Ye Haoran with a gentle smile.
"Let's go in and have a look."
Three women pushed Ye Haoran into Ye's garden.
Nothing has changed. When he walked to the main hall, Ye Haoran looked at the tea table in the main hall and said, "This is it. Back then, Lin Huai and I, yes, and Amy, several brothers worked hard and calculated for a lifetime. Only then did the Ye family exist, and only then did we have what we have now. How familiar it is.
At that time, the Ye family was still a small house with eight rooms in one house. It was still the new house built after Abao moved in, haha! "
Ye Haoran lamented the scenes in the past.
Abao was just about to push the wheelchair: "Let's go in and take a look."
"No!"
Ye Haoran stopped Abao softly: "It's enough to get here, I'm tired."
Abao squatted down and rubbed Ye Haoran's hand that could no longer move: "Hubby, let's go rest when we are tired."
Ye Haoran slightly bent his head and looked at A Bao, then at Feng Shizhen, and finally at Li Ningyu.
"I'm sorry for making you suffer. I'm really tired."
After saying this, close your eyes.
Seeing this, Li Ningyu rushed over and started shaking Ye Haoran's shoulders: "You can't sleep, get up, you can't sleep!"
"Ning Yu, what are you doing!"
Abao stopped Li Ningyu, worried that Ye Haoran's body couldn't bear it.
But Li Ningyu didn't listen and kept shaking Ye Haoran, trying to wake him up.
"It's nice to be home..."
All the fragments of the past flashed through Ye Haoran's mind like a slideshow. Finally, he said softly and closed his eyes.
"Husband? Husband!"
"Brother Ran!"
"Get up!"
The three women sent Ye Haoran away for the last time. Until his death, Ye Haoran did not even take a step into the main hall.
No matter how stupid Abao was at this time, he understood that Ye Haoran had just returned to his former glory.
Although the girls had been mentally prepared for it, when it happened, the sadness was unbearable.
The funeral could be said to be very simple. He was buried in his ancestral grave. Not many people attended. Except for Li Zhongfei, only some old revolutionaries came.
Abao stared blankly at the black-and-white photo in her hand, which was taken by Ye Haoran when she was young. She has always carried it with her.
...
Ye Haoran was sitting in a wheelchair. When he closed his eyes in front of the main hall, a dull soul slowly rose into the sky and finally got into a black hole.
