The loyal man of Nanguo is old, but his eyes are still clear and his heart is clear. As the current head of the Nan family, he actually understands the thoughts of his descendants.
What kind words, what thoughtful care, what thoughtful gifts. They are all clever words and tricks.
But he never reveals anything.
How much sincerity can a wealthy person have? When he was young, he was the same way to please his family members. He gained the appreciation of the elders, built up the foundation to start a business, and worked hard to get where he is today.
In the past, he felt that it was meaningless for the old man to save money and fish for his children and grandchildren with such hypocrisy.
But now that the situation has changed, he has experienced a bit of fun again - it's like a hunter raising a dog. Although it is interested in the pieces of meat on your hand, it also bows to you and points eastward without daring to go west. It was very obedient; as time went by, it started to show some sincerity, and I couldn't tell whether it was for profit or because it really had feelings.
He just had to watch, enjoy the fun, and finally select the best hound to inherit his business.
So that year, the second son Nan Shaofeng "accidentally" lost a son in the family fight. Although he sent people to look for him, he didn't take it very seriously - he was lost, died outside, or just... If he can't come back, it only means that this child has not inherited the destiny of the Nan family.
Naturally, the other children did not have the kindness to help Nan Shaofeng find his son. Nan Shaofeng himself also knew that he wanted to establish a firm foothold in the family, and he really didn't have any more energy to devote to "finding relatives" at the moment. Anyway, he still has a son. If he loses one, he will not be extinct.
The "lost" incident of Nambotu has been hanging around like this for about twenty years.
But no one expected that twenty years later, this child could still be found.
If the person is not found, the Nan family can ignore it; but the person has been found and has been heard by other aristocratic families in Fengcheng, so there is no reason to leave the person outside to fend for himself. What's more, at this time, "Nan Botu" was considered outstanding among his peers and had never disgraced the Nan family's reputation.
Others may have hesitated, but Nan Guozhong made a prompt decision and sent a message asking the child to come back to confirm his identity and "acknowledge his ancestor and return to his clan."
Not to mention those who are really related, even if they are not related, they will happily go there after hearing the invitation from a family as big as the Nan family. Not deviating from Nan Guozhong's thoughts, Nan Botu rushed to Fengcheng as soon as possible.
Then I went to the hospital to collect samples for paternity testing.
Then before the results came out, he went back to "participate in the spring sports meeting where you can add moral education points and advance to the postgraduate ranking."
Everyone in the Nan family was dumbfounded.
Nan Shaofeng, who had already retreated to the second line, couldn't help but ask: "Did the person you sent the letter not tell him what kind of aristocratic family the Nan family is? Or did you check wrongly, and the person who adopted him was actually a super rich man? Even if Can he really make a name for himself in the medical field and earn more money in a year than the dividends he receives from holding shares in any Nan family company?"
Until he took the appraisal results, Nan Guozhong always felt that this was a young man's way of "playing hard to get". But when Nan Botu learned the news and had time to return to Fengcheng to attend the banquet in his honor, Nan Guozhong took a closer look and saw that the man at the banquet was not leaking water, playing both sides, but not touching a leaf. finally understood.
Even if they are more cunning, cunning, powerful and ferocious - wolves always disdain the company of dogs.
No matter how experienced the hunter is, he will never be able to tame a wolf.
Fortunately, neither the hunter nor the wolf has any plans against the other party. One is on this side of the mountain and the other is on the other side of the mountain. They don't disturb each other and can always live in peace.
Even if the hunter leaves two pieces of meat for the wolf on weekdays, the wolf can occasionally stop a ferocious beast somewhere for the hunter.
"You still know how to come back?"
Seeing Nan Botu sitting down with a smile, he reached out to take the tea on the table. Nan Guozhong reached out and took the fan handle and slapped it on Nan Botu's wrist.
"Should you tell me something before you drink?"
Ling Yao thought to himself, "When these powerful people ask questions, they always like to act like 'I have everything under control' and 'I'll give you a chance to confess and be lenient, but resist being strict'." Who else spoke first?" He turned away his eyes and said casually:
"What do you want to hear? Good morning? May you live longer than Nanshan and be as blessed as the East Sea. May your children and grandchildren be prosperous and come to Danqi from now on?"
Then, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, he quickly grabbed a cup of tea soup and drank it in big gulps.
Nan Guozhong's eyes widened and he pretended to be angry:
"Look at the color of the soup, smell the aroma, taste the taste, and look at the bottom of the leaves! You are ruining my good tea by drinking like this!
"Also, don't just fool around with it. Didn't Ren Chongrong go to your city hospital some time ago? When I couldn't find you at the scene, I called the police!? Tell me!"
"You have found everything, what else do you want me to say? It's just that you can't see the black doctor being so arrogant. It's not a personal grudge. It's just that with this incident, it's time to make new hatreds instead of old ones. I want to come to you Ban asked, do you know the details about Lin Tianyu?"
Ling Yao curled his lips and put down his tea cup.
"I would like to ask, what great achievements does this person have that deserve your concern and vigilance?"
Nan Guozhong tapped the edge of the table with his fan and said solemnly:
"Have you heard of the 523 hijacking case at Baiyue Hui in the city center?"
Although Ling Yao was still in Kyoto last May, this case was on the news channels. At that time, although Ling Yao didn't know what the "protagonist" Lin Tianyu was capable of, he already knew that he was walking around Fengcheng, so he was naturally paying attention to the news in Fengcheng.
523 He had indeed heard of this case, and even heard it mentioned by the complaining guards. It's just that at that time, Ling Yao didn't know that his "future was bumpy". He only thought that his "villain destiny" would only begin when Lin Tianyu was "promoted" to Kyoto, so he just filed the information records without studying them carefully.
Now that I think about it, those who complained about it did say something like, "The protagonist really has a disaster physique, and he can encounter hijackers even when walking down the street." The great achievement of saving people is just a matter of natural connection." "Everyone who goes out with the protagonist is an old unlucky man."
As for the specific evaluation, Ling Yao couldn't remember it because he didn't look through the text messages or his own notes, but he roughly remembered that although the "protagonist" saved people, the complaints about the incident were not very good - this is also The important reason why he didn't take this matter too seriously.
But to be specifically mentioned by Nan Guozhong... Presumably at least Lin Tianyu has indeed connected with an incredible force with this "merit".
"I've heard of it. The gangsters buried explosives, sealed the entire building, and tied up two hostages to negotiate terms with the police in front. Originally, the negotiators had stabilized the gangster's mood, but unexpectedly someone behind him accidentally fired without aiming. , angered the gangsters. One hostage died. If Mr. Lin, an enthusiastic citizen, did not suddenly rush out to save another hostage and subdue several gangsters, the entire building would probably have lost its life. So the police owed him a favor, right? ?
"But since you have already mentioned this, this matter must not be that simple. Is there some special force involved behind the scenes, or is Mr. Lin showing some special ability and being noticed?"
Nan Guozhong glanced at him, with a hint of approval in his expression:
"It's all good. It is said that the sniper made a 'misjudgement', but in fact it is not. The person who was dismissed was just a scapegoat. If it is really a 'misjudgement', then it was also a 'misjudgement' by the one who issued the order. Yes. Didn't you send the person to the bureau a few days ago? Didn't you follow up on the follow-up information? The person was released long ago, and nothing happened.
"Look at this whole thing. Even though he didn't do it himself, he knew that the gangster was not a gun-slinger, but he still had to delay it for a while before he came out to settle the matter. He also sacrificed someone else's life in exchange for his own connections... This Lin is not an easy person to get along with."
"You are really well-informed..."
Ling Yao felt sad, so it's no wonder that the complainers didn't like Lin Tianyu's style - although Lin Tianyu couldn't be kidnapped morally and had to save people, but as a "master" who had the ability to "nip the problem in the cradle", Even though he knew that there was a "problem" with the hijacker, he had to wait until the problem broke out before he came forward to "deliver justice" in exchange for greater achievements...
Even if Ling Yao didn't maliciously speculate that Lin Tianyu had expected that the price of this "problem outbreak" would be "a person's death," his behavior of pretending to be high-status is enough to make people uncomfortable.
Although I also have some "little tricks", when it comes to life-threatening matters, I still have to think twice and be "merciful". It seems that this "protagonist" is really not the same person as him.
However, Nan Guozhong's three or two sentences contained such a large amount of information... He suddenly understood why the outside world said that the Nan family was a big business, and its influence was intertwined. There were connections and informants everywhere, which made many forces afraid.
However, he suddenly changed his mind and thought of another thing:
"The special ability...could it be 'qi'?"
This makes sense - if it was 'just' as in the report, although the police station would be grateful for Lin Tianyu's rescue, it would not be able to easily expose the definite crime of "illegal medical practice". To be able to sell such a big favor from above, it was only Lin Tianyu's ability that made them particularly excited, and they wanted to win over him at all costs.
And this "special force behind" is probably based on Lin Tianyu's ability - maybe it is the "special team" mentioned by the fans.
Ling Yao was shocked by this idea, but Nan Guozhong's expression changed after hearing it.
"Qi" is the secret of major families, the magic weapon that keeps them standing for hundreds of years and makes the government, military and police unable to do anything to them; "Qi" is also the confidence that violent departments can still maintain social stability, and it is also the reason that they dare not leak it. , for fear of destroying the existing legal system and the confidentiality of social operations.
Before the age of six, all the children of the Nan family will be screened out of ignorance to determine whether they have the talent for practicing "qi" - and those with this talent are only one in a million. As for these "unpredestined people", only the best juniors are qualified to understand things related to "Qi", and there are one or two Qi practitioners accompanying them as bodyguards; only the head of the Nan family is qualified to master the entire practice. Qitang is in charge of all the Qi practitioners who are attached to the Nan family.
The news was so tight, how did Nan Botu, a junior who wandered around the edge of the Nan family, know about it? Is there some other way that he doesn't know about?
Ling Yao looked at Nan Guozhong's expression and guessed that "qi" was probably a topic that could only be discussed in a small circle in the Nan family. If he hadn't seen the methods used by Lin Tianyu when rescuing people, and had learned many words from the "path" of complaining that no one had thought of, I'm afraid he would be blind now and looking for clues.
However, he didn't want to act too "sophisticated" in front of Nan Guozhong, so he quickly added an explanation to "pretend to be stupid":
"The other day I heard Lin Tianyu praising himself and his disciple Hu Chuihai, and I saw green light flashing in his hands when he was applying acupuncture, and I couldn't help but make the association. I guess I've offended him, so I should understand something. .Since you have clues, don’t be stingy with this little information.”
In fact, Ling Yao couldn't remember exactly what Lin Tianyu was bragging about at the scene, and whether he mentioned the word "qi", but he saw with his own eyes that "qi" was real, and Nan Guozhong would never really go there. Check what Lin Tianyu said.
But now that he has said this, Nan Guozhong can no longer use words like "Don't think so much, just don't mess with him." What's more, judging from Nan Guozhong's performance and the entire society's understanding and attitude towards "Qi", there are probably very few people who can master "Qi", but the power of expression is very strong.
After all, I can see, and I am already much better than many people. In this matter, if Nan Guozhong treats him as an "outsider", he will not only push out the benefits, but also easily create resentment.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Nan Guozhong looked even more solemn. He looked at him up and down for a long time and said slowly:
"You can see without baptism to improve your eyesight? Have you really never heard of 'qi'?"
Ling Yao shrugged his shoulders, looking like a shameless person, and Nan Guozhong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
If someone like this... had been raised by him since he was a child, he wouldn't have to worry so much about the future of the Nan family.
He hesitated for a while, finally patted his sleeves and stood up:
"It seems I can't hide it from you after all. That's all, just follow me."
Ling Yao knew that Nan Guozhong finally gave in with his straight and twisted words. The villain in his heart breathed a sigh of relief and suddenly became very happy. However, he still had a "I want to see what this thing is" on his face. As Nan Guozhong walked all the way from the main hall of the house, he finally stopped beside a rockery in the backyard. down.
Massaga, this is the secret passage of a wealthy family! ?
The great world of Mang Sheng has its own formations and talismans that hide secret rooms. It is rare for Ling Yao to see such complicated and secret mechanism techniques, so he is very interested in seeing them this time.
But what interests him is yet to come——
"This is a Chinese New Year, where can you bring this kidnapped young man to me?"
As Nan Guozhong walked through the secret passage and arrived in front of the Qi Lianqi Hall practice room, he saw a shirtless middle-aged man wiping his sweat towel and joking to Nan Guozhong with a smile. Then he hung the sweat towel around his neck, turned to look at Ling Yao, and said with a smile:
"It's rare, it's quite strong after training."
Ling Yao touched his head in embarrassment.
When he was a child, he thought there were no "superpowers" to learn in this world, so he had to practice ordinary boxing and kicking skills for self-defense; when he entered college, he had to pull a big saw, chop big bones, and dig big nails for orthopedics. Credits, couldn't he give himself some muscle training? It is said that Professor Cheng, who is in his 50s and 60s and teaches them, is still lifting barbells in the gym every evening...
Alas, talking too much brings tears to my eyes.
At this moment, Nan Guozhong seemed to have forgotten that Ling Yao was a cheap grandson whom he picked up halfway and was not very close to. His expression was a bit arrogant and arrogant:
"Of course you can only abduct your own family for the Chinese New Year. Don't even look at who this face looks like! Botu, this is your third grandfather Guoxian."
"Hello, Third Grandpa."
Ling Yao greeted politely on his face, but secretly rolled his eyes in his heart. It seems that no matter how old and sophisticated the fox is, he also has a hobby of showing off his children and grandchildren.
But having said that, no matter how energetic Nan Guozhong is, you can tell at a glance that he is an old man in his seventies. This Nan Guoxian...why does it look like he is from his father's generation? Is it possible...
Nan Guoxian was stunned after hearing this, and looked at Ling Yao solemnly. He guessed his identity and asked without hesitation:
"You only brought two with you a few years ago...and now you have changed your mind? It's not a good thing to have too many candidates."
I brought two... who else could it be? Nan’s eldest grandson, Nan Bozhan, and his cheap brother Nan Bohongbai. It seems that this person thought that Nan Guozhong was bringing another successor candidate.
But the second half of the sentence is good, and it is indeed not a good thing to choose the right person. Not only are they spoiled for choice, but they are also prone to infighting and family separation.
But Ling Yao was also a little curious about this person's status - there were not many people in the Nan family who dared to talk to Nan Guozhong so frankly. What's more, if he is really his "third grandpa", he also "robbed the family property" from Nan Guozhong back then, so there is no quarrel at all?
"Come on, this is not my ambition. I can't control him!"
When Nan Guozhong was mentioned in this way, he felt a little resentful when he compared this "salted fish" with his first two "unworthy descendants" who were eager to engage in "party strife".
"It's okay not to mention it. I'm just here to ask you to help me see if he has such a talent."
