Chapter 14: Advice If the young master insists on doing it his own way, I'm afraid he will...
Ling Yi raised his eyes to look at Ling Siyan, then at Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao had told him about his mother's life experience before.
"Will you never come back after you return to City A?" Ling Yi asked.
Ling Siyan looked at Ling Yi and asked seriously, "Do you want to come back?"
Ling Yi shook his head, "Wherever you and Dad are, I'll be there."
He didn't have much sense of belonging to the city.
Neither the school nor the house where he had lived for more than ten years left him with any good memories.
From beginning to end, the only person he missed was Ling Siyan, and what he longed for was the warmth from his mother.
Ling Siyan felt a little sad for a moment, but she forced herself to keep her expression unchanged and said softly, "Then I won't come back."
Her home was in City A, but she later left for an unworthy man and has not been back for nearly twenty years.
When she took Han Chengyu to live in the villa in Xiheyuan, she said to him: "This will be our home in the future."
But now, it has become a house for her.
Lu Xiao keenly noticed Ling Siyan's sudden drop in mood, and walked up to her and patted her on the shoulder. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were full of concern.
Ling Siyan blinked away the mist in her eyes and shook her head: "I'm fine."
Ling Siyan has a stubborn personality and never shows her vulnerability in front of others. Even though he is worried, Lu Xiao can only suppress it deep in his heart.
Ling Siyan had calmed down and brought up a topic that seemed unrelated to Ling Yi's previous question: "City A is different from other cities. Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the country has launched several operations to crack down on gangs of evil forces, and other cities have achieved remarkable results. Only City A is an exception. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a half-lawless place."
"Since the ban on woodsheds was issued, City A is the only city where the number of shootings has increased instead of decreased. According to incomplete statistics, the number of people who die from gun violence in City A each year is no less than three digits, and is still increasing year by year."
"The forces there are complicated and intricate. Consortiums, officials, and the *** check and balance each other and are interdependent. There, the law can only restrain ordinary people."
"So, in City A, ordinary people are the safest." After listening, Ling Yi came to the conclusion.
Ling Siyan's eyebrows moved slightly and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Ling Yi said as if it was a matter of course: "The law constrains ordinary people, but conversely, the law protects only ordinary people there. The purpose of checks and balances is to achieve balance. If the law only constrains ordinary people but does not protect them, there will be an imbalance. Then City A will no longer be a place that is half lawless, but completely lawless."
"Then City A is no longer City A, but a country within a country. The country will not allow such a place to exist."
Ling Siyan's eyes were complicated. With Ling Yi's insight and sensitivity into current affairs, he was very suitable to be a politician.
Ling Siyan thought of Ling Yi from her previous life. When she followed him, he already held a high position in Mandala, second only to the emperor.
At that time, he already had the right to do whatever he wanted, but he put himself in heavy shackles.
She would not impose her ideas on him.
This time, Ling Yi will have absolute freedom to choose his future life path and love whoever he wants to love.
Before that, she hoped he would have some ability to protect himself.
Ling Siyan nodded, "You are right, so do you understand why we are here today?"
Ling Yi said "hmm", because Ling Group is the number one financial group in City A.
"I will study hard."
Ling Siyan bent down and looked into Ling Yi's eyes: "Do you want to learn? If not, I will send someone to protect you."
"I think," Ling Yi answered confidently, "there is no absolutely complete protection. I don't want to put my life in the hands of others."
Ling Siyan smiled: "I'm glad you understand this."
Lu Xiao's cold face showed a hint of approval as he picked up the Desert Eagle again. "Before using your own wooden silo, you must strictly abide by the rules of disassembly, assembly, cleaning, storage and inspection. Now that you have chosen your wooden silos, let's start from the first step..."
While they were learning shooting, Han Chengyu also brought Su Ranran back home.
When I entered the door, I ran into Aunt Li who was just about to go out.
"Aunt Li, are you going out to buy groceries?" Han Chengyu asked with a smile.
Aunt Li was just changing her shoes when she heard the familiar voice and looked up with a smile, "The eldest young master is back." When she saw Su Ranran beside Han Chengyu, her smile faded a bit, "He is getting ready to go out to buy groceries."
Han Chengyu was startled by Aunt Li's call of "Young Master". She used to call him "Young Master".
Is it because there is more than one young master in this family?
A strange look flashed in Han Chengyu's eyes, and he thought to himself that no matter how his mother forced him, he would not compromise.
"Is mother in the study?" Han Chengyu asked after glancing at the living room.
Aunt Li shook her head. "After breakfast, the mistress and the master took the young master out."
"gentlemen?"
Aunt Li didn't know that Han Chengyu had met Lu Xiao at the amusement park yesterday. She glanced at Han Chengyu's unhappy face and explained, "The wife has already obtained the marriage certificate with the husband, and said that the husband will be the male owner of this family from now on."
After a pause, Aunt Li continued, "Master, with all due respect, you shouldn't bring this girl back before getting the approval of your wife and husband."
Han Chengyu frowned slightly and said in an unhappy voice: "Aunt Li, you have overstepped your bounds. Also, this is just my friend. I don't even have the right to bring friends to my home now?"
Aunt Li's expression remained unchanged. She lowered her eyes and said, "I didn't mean that. I was too careless. I'm sorry, young master."
Han Chengyu said nothing.
Bending down to put the shoes she had changed into the shoe cabinet, Aunt Li said, "Then I'll be leaving, Master."
"Did my mother say when she would be back?"
"No, Master, the Madam and the others just said they would not be back for lunch today."
Han Chengyu said, "I understand. Go ahead!"
Aunt Li walked past Han Chengyu carrying a basket and sighed silently in her heart.
Han Chengyu was a child she had watched grow up, and she didn't want to see him make the same mistake all the time.
But the child ignored her advice. I hope he won't regret it later.
She heard clearly the argument that took place in the living room that day in the kitchen.
The next day, the man came into the house. At first, she thought he was sent by the mistress to put some pressure on the eldest young master.
But the time they had spent together over the past week was enough for her to see clearly.
The wife trusted the man very much, and although their relationship was not very close, it was very natural.
The way the madam looked at the younger master was exactly the same as when she looked at the older master.
On the contrary, the eldest young master has never been mentioned.
The eldest young master couldn't get used to the food at school, so her wife used to prepare the next day's menu in advance and give it to her, and sometimes she would cook it herself when she was not busy.
When she first arrived here, my wife was still a young lady who had never done housework. But later, because her eldest son, who was still in the first grade of primary school, had to write an essay on "The Meals Cooked by Mom", she tied on an apron and went into the kitchen.
The person who had the kitchen burnt three times when he first learned to cook, because he was not very determined in his preferences, can now cook a full banquet on his own.
Although the eldest young master did not come back this week, she could feel that the mistress's feelings for him had faded a lot.
If the eldest young master insists on having his own way, he will probably become an outsider of that family.
Aunt Li thought of the girl who was being led by the eldest young master again.
More than ten years of mother-son love could not defeat the tears of a girl whom I had only known for a few months.
Aunt Li sighed inwardly and thought of her son whom she hadn't seen for more than ten years at an inappropriate time.
She hadn't thought about him for a long time.
When she escaped from that man, she abandoned everything related to him, including the child who had half his blood.
It was obviously her son, but he didn't look like her at all. He looked more like that man.
"mom."
A shout came from the front.
Aunt Li didn't react and continued thinking about things.
Until the scene in front of my eyes darkened and a figure blocked the way forward.
Aunt Li looked up at the young man in a suit, squinted her eyes, and felt that his face looked a little familiar.
Before she could remember who this person was, she heard the person in front of her call her, "Mom."
***
Tianyi Club.
As a famous nightclub in City A, the dance floor was already crowded at six in the afternoon.
Colorful lights interweave in the air, accompanied by explosive music, creating a wild atmosphere in the dim environment, greatly stimulating the hormones in people's bodies.
On a single sofa far away from the dance floor, Bai Shuxing crossed his legs and gently shook the wine glass in his hand.
Her naturally affectionate peach blossom eyes were slightly confused, but deep in them there was a coldness.
Although he is in the world of mortals, he gives people a sense of loneliness for no reason, as if this person has isolated himself from the whole world.
A man in a black suit walked through the noisy crowd and stood in front of Bai Shuxing.
"Young Master, there is news."
Bai Shuxing withdrew his gaze from the center of the dance floor and gestured to the empty seat next to him: "Sit down."
Bai Mo followed suit and after sitting down, he reported the news he had just received at a volume just loud enough for Bai Shuxing to hear: "Su Ming just sent a message saying that he has boarded the plane."
Bai Shuxing took a sip of wine and asked calmly, "Not going well?"
Bai Mo's expression was solemn: "We encountered an ambush when entering the airport. Fortunately, we were prepared in advance, otherwise Su Ming would not be able to leave the airport."
"It was verified that the two people who opened the wood warehouse were pawns planted by Bloodrouse in King. The struggle for Bloodrouse's successor had already begun a month ago. Intercepting our goods is one of the tasks in their battle for succession."
"The person who took on this mission is their leader's sixth son. He is narrow-minded and vindictive. This ambush is his act of revenge after his mission failed."
"Ha!" Bai Shuxing chuckled, "That's really unreasonable! You're taking advantage of Mandragora!"
Bai Mo chanted "Amitabha" for Bloodrouse in his heart.
Why mess with their young master when there are so many people to mess with.
"Contact King's Kress and tell him that my people were ambushed in his territory and ask him to give an explanation. If you are sincere enough, we will tell you the location of Bloodrouse's base in the Silver Triangle area."
"Also, order Ghost Blade to issue a bloody hunt order to kill the thirteen heirs of Bloodrouse with all your might. I want none of them alive." The voice was so light that it sounded like whispering to a lover, but it contained an endless murderous aura.
"You use my mandala as a whetstone, then let me see if your knives are hard enough."
"yes."
