Chapter 81: Western Fantasy Traveling Through Long Aotian (End)
"Long Haoyu, since you're not interested in the Duan family's fortune, why bother fighting with me?"
Duan Xingzhou couldn't contain his anger.
Long Haoyu laughed. "I'm not interested in the Duan family's fortune, but I'm very interested in bringing you to the bottom. After all," his voice suddenly deepened, "you gave me such a huge gift."
"If I don't send you in, how can I repay your kindness?"
After saying that, Long Haoyu ignored Duan Xingzhou's barking and left.
Duan Xingzhou had his back to him, his expression uncertain. Long Haoyu had the full support of the Gu family, but he could only survive by relying on Duan Bowen's favor.
Oh, his father said that the family property would belong to him in the future, but in fact, he wanted to hold on to power tightly in his hands. Otherwise, how could he have been the young master of the Duan family for so many years, but could only be the young master of the Duan family.
But Duan Xingzhou would never sit and wait for death. He thought of what his mother had said to him in private, and a hint of viciousness appeared in his eyes: his mother was right, the old man was about to fall, and they had to make a way out for themselves.
A few months later, Duan's scandals became widespread overnight, including tax evasion, money laundering, illegal monopoly... The series of news made the onlookers dizzy.
But before Duan's competitors could react, the country took drastic action. When everything was settled, part of the Duan family was nationalized, and the rest was inherited by Long Haoyu, leaving others beating their chests and stamping their feet, regretting that they had missed such a great opportunity.
Duan Bowen, the former head of the Duan family, was thrown into jail. On the first day of his appointment, Long Haoyu announced that the Duan Group was officially renamed the Huanchen Group. He promoted employees with real talents and dismissed those who had no achievements but were related to him.
In addition to Duan Bowen, other members of the Duan family who were suspected of committing crimes were also imprisoned. The Duan family was severely damaged this time, but after surviving this winter, the new Huanchen will surely soar to a higher level.
At the moment when Duan Xingzhou was about to board a plane to go abroad, he was arrested by plainclothes detectives who had been lying in ambush there in advance on suspicion of a major homicide. With this, the sensational personnel changes in a leading domestic enterprise came to an end.
Everyone in the industry lamented the ruthless methods and wolfish ambitions of Long Haoyu. In order to seize the Duan family's property, he would rather hurt the enemy by a thousand and lose eight hundred of his own, and give up many interests. He can be said to be a ruthless person.
[Haoyu, my child, I really want to see you. I know you blame me, but it hasn't been easy for me these past few years...]
After seeing this, Long Haoyu no longer had the patience to read on. He simply replied with the last sentence and blocked the number.
"Madam Duan, what you mean by 'life hasn't been easy' is the years of luxury you've lived in. When you agreed to let Duan Xingzhou change his name to his own, wasn't it because you were certain your child had perished in the fire? You probably don't know that some people can remember everything from birth clearly, right?
Mrs. Duan's cell phone fell to the ground with a clang. Her fingers, which were well-maintained and still as delicate as those of a young girl, trembled as she picked up the phone. Her pupils trembled violently and she couldn't believe her eyes.
She tried to reply in a panic, but she pressed the wrong button several times in her haste. After finally sending the message, she received no reply. It was not until Mrs. Duan called Gu Yang that she realized that she was most likely blocked by Long Haoyu.
"Guyang, my dear nephew," Mrs. Duan's lips trembled violently, "Are you sure that the paternity test results were tampered with?"
Gu Yang was stunned and hurried to confirm, but the staff member he had contacted in advance gave him a skeptical answer: "What result did you say you wanted? It's already true. Why would I change it? I'm telling you, I won't refund your money!"
Hearing the busy tone of the other party hanging up the phone, Gu Yang couldn't help but be stunned. How...how is this possible?
That child had indeed died in that fire. His finding Long Haoyu was just a coincidence. The age, birthmark, and time of disappearance all matched perfectly. Even their faces bore a resemblance. How could this all be...
Gu Yang suddenly shuddered. He originally wanted to ask Long Haoyu for more benefits on the grounds that the Gu family had contributed a lot to the Duan family's matter, but now, he didn't dare to do so.
Thinking of the dragon shadow that day, since there are dragons, who knows if there are other gods and ghosts in the world.
Since then, the Gu family, which had been very active, became quiet and abided by the law. By chance, they managed to save their lives during the crackdown.
"Brother, you really don't want to see her"
Long Lingnan asked hesitantly. After all, she was a mother. The way a child treats his mother, and the way a mother treats her child, is always different.
Long Haoyu picked up his sister nonchalantly, gently hooked her nose with his finger, and said with a smile: "I, your brother, am an orphan in this world. How could I have a mother? Besides, having you is enough for me."
"Let's go, school is about to start. If we don't go out and play now, we won't have time anymore!"
Two years later, the team led by Long Haoyu achieved world-renowned groundbreaking results. They studied the special plants in Long Mingjie and successfully extracted a drug that can prolong life. It is also very effective in conquering cancer.
The world cheered, and biotechnology declared itself king in this century!
Subsequently, Dragon Potion 1.0 came out, and humans became able to access the extraordinary. The era of the extraordinary swept the world, and the average human lifespan was extended again.
Another decade passed, and the passage between the Longming Realm and the present world was completely stabilized. Under the witness of the whole world, Dayao and China became the first countries to establish diplomatic relations across the world.
The economy, technology, society, etc. are all developing at a high speed. The pace of world change is constantly advancing, and the rapid changes are constantly refreshing people's worldview. The Longming Realm and the present world each have their strengths and weaknesses. They learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and become each other's mentors and friends.
Long Lingnan has been in this world for a long time, so long that Long Haoyu has already reached adulthood in terms of the age of the dragon clan, but she is still a little girl of eleven or twelve years old. Even Long Zixuan is half a head taller than her.
"System, I think I can leave now."
Long Lingnan called out to the system she hadn't seen for a long time. She recalled everything in this world and still felt that the story was strange.
Initially, she thought this was a world where Long Aotian reigned supreme in another realm. Later, she thought perhaps he was ascending to godhood in the entertainment industry. Finally, after a series of powerful struggles for power, she finally realized her brother's true identity: a biotechnology tycoon!
The system quietly descended and gently asked: "Host, have you really made up your mind?"
"Well, my brother has become an adult now, and I don't have to worry about him anymore." Long Lingnan's voice was soft and sweet, yet firm.
"Okay, host, why don't you go and say goodbye?"
Long Lingnan covered his face and said sullenly, "I'm embarrassed to say goodbye. I left a letter, just as..." I've already said goodbye.
As expected, she still doesn't like saying goodbye at all. She is really not good at dealing with this kind of thing.
The system sighed lightly: "Okay."
"By the way, system, one last question. When my brother was a child..." Long Lingnan had never found the answer to this question, and she didn't want to poke her brother in the sore spot.
"As for this question, I can only tell the host that Long Aotian did die once, but the true Blood Dragon Clan has a talent hidden deep in their blood, which is resurrection from the dead."
Among the dragon clan, only the blood dragon lineage is the most peculiar. The inheritance is not through physical bloodline, but through the soul. Death is nothing but a rebirth for them.
The last question was answered. Long Lingnan took one last nostalgic look at the world and prepared to choose a good time to say goodbye.
She never expected that at the moment of leaving, Cheng Yaojin would appear out of nowhere.
"Wuwuwu, no, dear boy, I won't let you go!"
Long Xiuqi was holding the corner of Long Lingnan's clothes, crying. He actually gave up the dragon clan's pursuit of a huge body and took the initiative to shrink his body to be cute. It can be said that he was reluctant to part with his daughter.
Long Lingnan was helpless: "Dad, I left a letter for you."
"No! I won't look!" Long Xiuqi was being unreasonable, taking advantage of his small size and starting to throw a tantrum. "If you're gone, when and where can I retire? I don't want to work endlessly. Did that hairless ball trick you into working for nothing? Daddy's going to tear it apart right now!"
The system screamed silently, its light flickered, and it broke through itself in the face of life-and-death crisis, hiding behind Long Lingnan and trembling.
Long Lingnan put her knowledge into practice, using one's own weapon to attack another's shield. She wiped her eyes and said, "Am I just a tool to take over in my father's eyes? I'm so sad." She started to cry.
Long Xiuqi's voice fell silent. He circled around Long Lingnan, anxious and distressed, coaxing her, "Alright, alright, it's Daddy's fault. How could it be possible? My dear son is the most important to Daddy."
Saying such cheesy words again. Even though she had heard it many times, Long Lingnan couldn't help but blush, and she couldn't continue to pretend crying.
She said to her father seriously, "I also can't bear to leave Daddy, brother, and Zixuan, but I still have to go. I..."
Long Lingnan opened her mouth and suddenly felt a little ashamed. This world was good, but she still wanted to go home once, to her original home.
Parents who are helpless with their children are always the first to compromise. The old father was reluctant, but he still respected his child's wishes. Long Xiuqi snorted, "Okay, dear boy, if someone bullies you, tell Daddy. Daddy may not be able to beat him, but Daddy has people above him. Humph, everyone in the heavens and all realms knows that our dragon clan is not to be trifled with."
Long Lingnan burst into laughter, but she suddenly felt a little confused. Long Xiuqi knew about the system, so did that mean her father knew...
The familiar touch on her forehead interrupted her wandering thoughts. Her father's golden eyes were still kind and doting: "Go, child, this will always be your home."
Long Lingnan stepped into the familiar vortex, turned back one last time, met her father's eyes, blinked and smiled, "That's right, Dad, my brother is an adult now, and can help share your burdens. Finally, your daughter is leaving."
Her figure disappeared into the sea of stars, leaving Long Xiuqi with a sudden realization:
Yes! I still have a son to exploit!
He was immediately delighted, thinking that he had found a good way to slack off.
At this time, Long Haoyu, standing tall and graceful in front of the desk, had no idea that his sister was going to set him up before leaving. He folded the letter and saw Long Zixuan happily watching the e-sports game out of the corner of his eye. He walked over and knocked him on the head in displeasure:
"You're still laughing! Your sister abandoned us and went to pursue her dream in the sea of stars."
Long Zixuan slowly asked, "Impossible! My sister must think you're meddling too much. We're from the same country!"
Long Haoyu narrowed his eyes dangerously and said, "Okay, I was just worried that I had no excuse to deal with you."
