Chapter 2 Identity and Background

The house was quiet in the evening. Only Bai Tang, who was wearing Patrick Star pattern pajamas, was lying on the small bed in his bedroom. He looked up at the ceiling with unfocused eyes, his facial expressions varied, and he let out a silly laugh from time to time.

The caller just now came from the beautiful country across the ocean. The caller told Bai Tang in broken Mandarin that his name was Evan. He was the lawyer of Song Yaowu, Bai Tang's second uncle and mother Song Wei's uncle, and he was here to discuss inheritance matters with her on behalf of Mr. Song Yaowu.

When Bai Tang heard that the other party could speak Mandarin, she told him that she had never heard of her second uncle, and her mother Song Wei had never mentioned such things.

So for the next half hour, Bai Tang listened to Evan's slow narration and roughly understood the whole story of this old event.

The Song family had lived in Jinling for a long time. In the chaotic war years, the Song family was already living in poverty, and Jinling was already in crisis. In order to reduce the burden on the family and to have a bright future, the second son Song Yaowu followed the merchant ship to Southeast Asia to make a living when he was very young.

Soon after this, war broke out, the world was torn apart, and the world was completely changed.

The Song family was also devastated by the war, with only one in ten people left, leaving only grandpa Song Yaowen, who later joined the army. In such a chaotic world, Song Yaowu went overseas and there was no news of him again.

Bai Tang was filled with emotion when he heard this piece of history. The bloody and fiery years in the textbooks happened many, many years ago.

After Song Yaowu arrived in Nanyang for some time, he found that this place was not a peaceful place. There were still wars and invasions. Unwilling to give up, he sneaked onto an ocean-going ship. After several months of drifting on the sea, he finally smuggled to the beautiful country on the other side of the ocean.

The United States always opens up battlefields in other countries' territories, without any war at home. And because of the war, it madly increases its domestic productivity. Such opportunities allowed Song Yaowu, who was mentally strong and determined to stand out, to seize the opportunity to rise.

From being an undocumented worker at the bottom of a black factory, he slowly climbed up the ladder, founded his own small company, and developed it slowly. Over the past few decades, Song Yaowu's company has grown into a giant. Its industries span various light and heavy industries, energy and medicine, food, clothing, housing, and transportation. It has a pivotal position in the United States, and even many of its industries are involved in other countries in the Western world.

Menglong Group is the huge business empire under the helm of Song Yaowu. This group company is considered a giant in the United States and even in the Western world. Its assets are more than just trillions.

In his early years, Song Yaowu, who had just settled down, once mobilized his connections and entrusted others to help him find his relatives in Longguo. However, the shallow network of connections did not bring back much news. Moreover, the bloody smell brought by these news made him feel sad. Seeing the despair brought by the words between the lines of the news, he gradually extinguished his desire to find his relatives.

The successful Song Yaowu has been alone in a foreign country for so many years. As he grows older and his health deteriorates, he once again thinks about finding his relatives while lying in bed. He doesn't believe that the Song family will end like this.

So now the huge network of the Menglong Group was mobilized again. Hard work pays off, and finally some clues were found.

After nearly half a year of unraveling the mystery, the only remaining bloodline of the Song family, the life story of his little granddaughter Bai Tang, appeared before him.

The skinny fingers gently touched Bai Tang's photo, and the old Song Yaowu burst into tears.

His brother Song Yaowen and his wife died early, leaving behind his niece Song Wei. Song Wei died even earlier, leaving the underage girl Bai Tang to struggle alone in the world for five years.

Song Yaowu's physical condition deteriorated rapidly due to the extreme joy and sorrow. He could no longer see the little girl Bai Tang because the conditions did not allow it and there was not enough time.

In the following days, Song Yaowu was in a state of being sometimes conscious and sometimes unconscious. Taking advantage of the brief moments of consciousness, Song Yaowu signed a will under the witness of Evan, the group's legal team, and major institutions.

A family trust was established for the funds and real estate, with Bai Tang as the heir. The Menglong Group's assets were placed under trusteeship, and different assets would be handed over to Bai Tang at specific times in the future.

A few days later, Song Yaowu, a business tycoon, passed away with regret. The news of the death of the helmsman of the giant Menglong Group shocked the world. Everyone knew that Song Yaowu, the helmsman of Menglong Group, had no children, but he made a will for inheritance, which made people puzzled. The identity of the heir remained a mystery. This situation made many people wait and see, waiting for the next helmsman of Menglong Group to appear.

Bai Tang was a young idiot whose daily routine consisted of studying, working, and going home. She had very few friends, so naturally she didn't know about these world-class events.

After Bai Tang finished talking to Evan, she couldn't calm down for a long time. She knew that these things were not supposed to exist in this world. It was her mother's last wish gift, which brought her the identity of the granddaughter of her second uncle Song Yaowu, the background of the heir of Menglong Group, and the broken dormant system with only a program left.

As for why his mother's last wish could accomplish all these, Bai Tang didn't want to think about it. Of course, with Bai Tang's little brain that was a little slow in other aspects except studying, he couldn't figure it out.

Bai Tang only knew that since it was a gift from her mother, she would gladly accept it. Her mother even told her to grow up strong and live happily before she died. So she would definitely listen to her mother.

Catalpa trees grow into forests, and cubs grow into beasts. In the past five years, she has grown up bravely. Her birthday is June 10th, and she will be eighteen years old and become an adult in one day.

In the following days, with the gift from her mother and her second uncle Song Yaowu, she will definitely live a happy and beautiful life. Let her mother in heaven rest assured, and let her second uncle, who was given by the system, go with peace of mind. After all, he left such a big Menglong Group and countless assets to her, and she should be given the proper respect and title. After all, Bai Tang is a polite and sensible girl.

After gradually digesting the shock of the news, Bai Tang lazily slumped on the sofa in the small living room, wasting time like a cat. Until the sky gradually darkened, some restless little stars mischievously popped up in advance, dancing in the slightly dark night sky.
