He was wearing a silver-grey V-neck striped sweater, white suit pants, and a white coat that indicated his identity. His features were gentle and peaceful, and he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his nose, giving people the feeling of a gentlemanly villain.
As soon as Xu Chenglin got off the plane, he looked around through the lenses of his glasses, looking for something.
"Academician Xu, what are you looking at?"
Captain Li, who was responsible for escorting him back, asked softly.
"my family."
Xu Chenglin was looking for a familiar figure, but the place was empty. Not to mention his family, there wasn't even a human figure.
"Have you cleared the place today?"
"Yes, your safety is our top priority. In order to ensure your safety during your trip, we have cleaned up the scene."
Xu Chenglin frowned: "Then my family members were also cleared out by you?"
"I'm sorry, your family didn't come to pick you up at the airport."
Xu Chenglin frowned: "What?"
This is not right. He finally came back, but why is there no one to connect to the machine? Didn't they say they were eager for him to come back as soon as possible? Why is it different from what was said?
However, as Xu Chenglin was the youngest academician in the country, his IQ was quite high and he guessed the reason almost immediately.
"I guess my brothers are angry because I wasn't there when Xiaojing and Nuonuo got into trouble."
Captain Li said he didn't understand. "You have made an indelible contribution to domestic medical research. This time you are also developing a new type of drug. They should be able to understand."
Just like he rarely goes home to see his wife and daughter because of his work.
"That's different." Xu Chenglin shook his head. "For my brother and his family, family is the most important thing. Fortunately, Xiao Jing waited for me this time, otherwise I wouldn't even be able to get into the house."
He knew exactly what kind of people his family was like. "I'm home now. You can just drop me off here. I'll take a taxi back by myself."
"Take a taxi?"
Captain Li glanced at the national treasure next to him, and then thought about how he was hailing a taxi on the side of the road, and felt a chill in his heart.
"Let's take you to your destination."
"No need." Xu Chenglin insisted, "That's it."
After saying that, he took out the wallet from his pocket and made sure that there was no money in it before he felt relieved.
"I was wrong this time, so let Big Brother calm down."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took his empty wallet and ran to get a taxi.

When Xu Chengfeng received Xu Chenglin's call in the hospital, he was sitting next to Xu Nuo dealing with company matters and the plan to acquire Xie's luxury goods.
When he saw Xu Chenglin's call, he hung up without saying a word. Then Xu Chengsui's phone rang. Xu Chengsui also hung up and added his number to the blacklist.
About 3 minutes later, Xu Chengfeng's phone rang again. He still didn't answer it, but there was a recording from Xu Chenglin in the voicemail box.
"Brother, I'm at the hospital entrance now, but I don't have any money in my wallet to pay for the taxi. Can you come down and settle the bill for your brother?"
When Xu Chengfeng played the recording, he used a loudspeaker. Because of Xu Chenglin's words, everyone in the ward fell into silence.
Finally, Xu Chengfeng could only pick up his suit jacket, go downstairs obediently, and pay the taxi fare for his poor brother. At the same time, he was still complaining in his heart that he was an academician but had no money to take a taxi, and he didn't know how miserable his life was recently.
