Chapter 71: Western Fantasy Traveling Through Long Aotian
Long Lingnan glared at Gu Yang, and her favorable impression of him dropped to zero in an instant.
But this is not the most important thing at the moment. She looked at Long Haoyu worriedly, but didn't know what to say.
However, Long Haoyu was not as angry or sad as they thought. He sat down again with a smile on his face and said with interest: "Why does Mr. Gu think that as an orphan, I must find so-called relatives, not..." He emphasized the word "relatives".
As soon as those words left his mouth, Gu Yang felt that something bad was going to happen, but since the words were already out of his mouth, there was no reason to take them back. He heard Long Haoyu's sarcasm, but since he was the movie star after all, he maintained his composure.
Gu Yang wore a gentle and elegant smile, as if sincerely considering Long Haoyu's perspective. "I'm so sorry, Haoyu. I was just too anxious and said the wrong thing. How could I have meant that?"
"Haoyu, I know you've lived in an orphanage since you were little, without any family. Your life must have been very hard." He sighed softly, looking at Long Haoyu lovingly. "I know you must be full of resentment towards your aunt, but she didn't abandon you on purpose. It's all because of that vicious villain who separated you and your mother!"
"Ever since losing you, Aunt has been crying every day. As your nephew, I feel so sad. Haoyu, if you return to the Duan family, at least Aunt will be happy to see you, and her health will be much better."
He appealed to her emotions and reasoned with her, seemingly speaking with all his heart, but Long Lingnan just felt that his words sounded strange.
She couldn't stand it any longer, so she stood up from her chair, slammed her hand on the table and said angrily: "Who don't have relatives? I am my brother's relative!"
I'm warning you, don't talk nonsense here!
Both adults were startled. Long Haoyu was dazed for a rare moment. His eyes were fixed on Long Lingnan, whose face was red with anger. Suddenly, he chuckled softly. He swallowed the words he was about to say, stood up, and holding a little kid in one hand, he said to Gu Yang politely and distantly:
"Mr. Gu, there's no need to say more. I'm sure Mr. Gu, your nephew, knows Mrs. Duan's health better than I do. She wouldn't want to see a stranger like me. That's all I have to say. Goodbye, Mr. Gu."
"By the way, the child is being tactless. Mr. Gu shouldn't bother with the child, right?"
Long Haoyu took Long Lingnan, who looked depressed but still wanted to show off, by the hand, closed the door and left, leaving Gu Yang sitting there alone with a gloomy expression.
He thought for a while with a sullen face, then made a phone call. He didn't know what the other party said, but he sneered:
"...Even if he doesn't want to, Duan Xingzhou won't let him go. At that time, even if he doesn't want to, he will have no choice but to join the game..."
Money can move people's hearts. He didn't believe that Long Haoyu, who had tasted the bitterness of poverty in the orphanage, would not be tempted by the Duan family's enormous wealth.
Click—click—
What's going on?
Gu Yang was suddenly stunned. He saw the solid mahogany table in front of him turned into powder almost in an instant before his eyes.
Outside the door, Long Haoyu took the hands of the two children and walked out of the door of "Blue Sky and Sea of Clouds". His steps became slow and they walked home together like this, which was an experience that Long Haoyu had never experienced before.
Long Lingnan pouted, still recalling Gu Yang's hateful expression. The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. However, she turned around and thought that the two people from the Duan family were most likely Long Haoyu's biological parents. The words "biological parents" were very heavy no matter what.
She looked up. From her perspective, she could only see Long Haoyu's sharp profile and jaw. She bit her lower lip and finally asked, "Brother, do you really not want to see the Duan family? They might really be..." Your parents...
Hearing this, Long Haoyu looked down at her. He looked relaxed and he really didn't care.
"What does it matter if it's true or not? There are fewer enemies in the world with blood ties, right?"
Long Haoyu really has to question the character of his parents.
The father who immediately took back his illegitimate son after losing his biological son, the mother who ignored him and had no opinion, and the Duan and Luo families who kept saying that they didn't believe he died in the fire, but hadn't sent any news about him in the past twenty years, all of this meant nothing but ridiculous to Long Haoyu.
The fantasy he had about his biological parents in his childhood was ultimately shattered by the cruel and cold reality.
What a disappointment to them; he was neither stupid nor naive.
Long Haoyu thought with some irony that the person who came to see him was not his parents, but his mother's nephew. In addition, both Duan and Luo's families were top wealthy families, so he could guess the meaning behind it.
It was nothing more than an internal conflict within the Duan family. The Luo family wanted to use him as a pretext to swallow up the Duan family. In this way, the Duan couple might not be as respectful to each other as they advertised to the outside world.
But no matter whether Mrs. Duan gave up the child out of considerations of the business relationship between the two families or for some other reason, Long Haoyu no longer cared. He was extremely disappointed with this potential parent-child relationship. He would not and was unwilling to meet them, and he had no thoughts about the so-called wealth and nobility of the Duan family.
No matter what the Luo family and the Duan family want to do, it has nothing to do with him.
Long Haoyu's expression was indifferent. He wouldn't tell his younger siblings about this, lest they be disturbed. Children should be happy every day, not frowning over what adults are thinking.
It was a weekday afternoon, and the streets weren't particularly busy. Only a few pedestrians were walking along. Long Haoyu, holding two small children, stopped on the sidewalk in front of the intersection and waited quietly for the light to turn green.
On the opposite lane of the intersection, a large truck had its left turn signal on, seemingly about to turn onto the lane in front of Long Haoyu. But even after the intersection's turn signal came on, the truck didn't move. Cars behind it honked their horns, but the truck driver remained unmoved.
Until the green light on the opposite side of the crosswalk came on, Long Haoyu held the child's hand tightly, walked to the zebra crossing, and prepared to cross.
Just then, the truck driver moved.
He stepped on the accelerator, carefully turned the steering wheel, and the truck shot out like a string, heading straight for Long Haoyu and the other two who were in the middle of the intersection!
The car was going very fast, but Long Haoyu was even faster!
He heard the sound of the truck engine starting, the sound of the tires rubbing against the ground, and the heavy breathing of the truck driver in advance. He pulled the children and took a big step back as if he had predicted the future.
The truck passed in front of Long Haoyu and crashed into the trees lining the road. Long Haoyu's face was gloomy, and Long Lingnan's expression was also serious. When they reached the truck door, they saw that the truck driver was already dead.
This turned out to be a suicide attack!
Who is it? Who is it?
Long Haoyu's eyes were icy cold. He took out his phone and dialed: "Hello, is this 110? Hello, I want to call the police. Someone is trying to murder me!"
His tone was filled with fear and indignation. The police quickly calmed him down and guided the caller to explain the situation.
After Long Haoyu finished taking the statement and the police finished their investigation, they were completely shocked.
Truck driver Ma committed suicide by poisoning himself. However, an investigation revealed that he had been diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer at the hospital two weeks prior. Just five days prior, his bank account received a 2 million yuan overseas transfer. His only family members were his wife and daughter, who had boarded a flight abroad two days prior.
This was actually a premeditated murder! Moreover, it was probably a hired murder!
The public security organ attached great importance to the case and immediately sent an experienced criminal policeman to communicate with the reporter. However, Long Haoyu believed that he had no grudge against the person who brought him here, and the clue seemed to end here.
Considering that Long Haoyu was with his two children and they were all extremely frightened, the police first let them go home to rest and asked Long Haoyu if he needed their protection. After receiving a rejection, the criminal police reminded them to pay attention to everything around them, protect themselves, and call the police in time if any situation occurs.
After walking out of the police station, Long Lingnan asked in a low voice: "...was it Gu Yang who did it?"
Long Haoyu shook his head affirmatively: "No." He was not so stupid as to do that.
As for who the candidate would be, Long Haoyu already had a vague idea.
Duan, Xing, Zhou, he chewed on these three words slowly, his eyes were icy cold. If the three of them were not ordinary people, they would have died today.
He hadn't originally intended to do anything to Duan Xingzhou. Long Haoyu slowly forced a smile, but he didn't expect that Duan Xingzhou wanted to cut the grass completely first.
In the VIP ward of a private hospital in the city, Ying had been in a coma for several days and finally woke up.
"Oh, my ancestor, you finally woke up. If you hadn't woken up, the paper would have been published in the top medical journals!"
The agent who was guarding Ying Yiran was suddenly overjoyed. He rushed over, shook Ying Yiran's hand, and said sincerely.
"I, what's wrong with me?"
Ying was still a little confused. She frowned slightly and could not remember what happened before she fell into a coma.
"Yi Ran, you were in a coma for ten days due to unknown reasons. Moreover, during this time..."
The agent hesitated, weighing the pros and cons in her mind before deciding to tell the less devastating piece of news first:
"Because of your table-turning and diva-like behavior on 'Where Are We Going, Baby?' that was exposed, you lost half of your fans. In addition, many forces took advantage of the situation and exposed a lot of true and false news. Still, you now..." Your current reputation in the entertainment industry is very bad, and the popularity you had accumulated before is basically gone.
"How about we stay out of the spotlight for a while and come out again when netizens have almost forgotten about it," the agent suggested sincerely.
Ying Yiran understood her agent's intentions, but she was unwilling to temporarily retire from the entertainment industry. She also asked, "How could it be so serious? Where is Sin Chew? Why doesn't Sin Chew help me?"
Alas, I still couldn’t hide it.
The agent gritted his teeth and said, "Yi Ran, you must stay calm. Your health is the most important thing. Duan Shao's manager called and said that Duan Shao has nothing to do with you anymore. He then transferred one million yuan to your account as a breakup fee."
What!
How could Xingzhou break up with me!
She had done so much for him, and this is how he treated her!
Ying Yiran was so angry about the news that her heart ached for an inexplicable moment, and she fainted again because she couldn't bear it anymore.
"Hey Yiran! Doctor, the patient has fainted again!"

Regarding the issue of wealth: On the surface, Long Lingnan is wearing gold, silver and jewelry and is reluctant to get rid of them for no reason. In fact, this appearance of poverty is due to Long Haoyu: in one word, stingy; in two words, extremely stingy!
Thank you very much for your support. I will continue to work hard!
