Xiao Gucheng threw the satellite phone in his hand heavily to the ground, drew the dagger from his waist, and faced the mercenaries who surrounded him.
At the outpost command post, the corps commander personally received the call.
He said in a deep voice: "Xiao Gucheng, we will quickly send an armed helicopter to support us."
"Please hold on for ten minutes, Xiao Gucheng, and reply?"
On the other side, there was no movement.
"Commander, Xiao Gucheng is exhausted. The enemy has some unusual people, and more than ten of them are attacking with weapons."
"It's too late for us to send reinforcements."
An officer said in a hoarse voice: "He doesn't want to die at the hands of the enemy. He hopes you will give him the last bit of dignity."
The commander was silent for a moment, then stood up resolutely: "Artillery battalion, listen to your orders."
"Target the communications location, launch a barrage of bullets, and then blanket the area with a carpet bomb."
The officer saluted and then gave orders.
"Sir, there's a call from Yanjing." A soldier delivered an urgent message.
The commander took a few glances and his face changed drastically.
"Stop the order."
However, it was too late, the artillery had already roared out, and dozens of light trails whizzed away.
He grabbed the communicator and called in plain language: "Xiao Gucheng, your son has been found."
"Xiao Gucheng, spare your life and go back to reunite with your family."
Xiao Gucheng, who was fighting fiercely with the enemy, was knocked to the ground. The sound from the satellite communication made his eyes suddenly darken.
However, a samurai sword pierced his calf and pierced his leg.
Xiao Gucheng had no time to think, he locked the opponent with his backhand.
At the same time, a sound roared in the air.
A mercenary who had been in the war zone for many years looked up at the sky in surprise.
He recognized it as the sound of a 155mm self-propelled howitzer breaking through the air.
He roared, "There are fire bombs, take cover."
Li Gangningye was locked up by Xiao Gucheng with all his might. He looked up and saw dozens of light trails whizzing towards him, and let out a desperate scream.
Dozens of shells suddenly fell to the ground and exploded.
A huge roar was heard, and the entire mountaintop was razed to the ground.
Yanjing, Xiao family villa.
The entire Xiao family compound was decorated with lights and there was a constant stream of guests.
Xiao Wanli was dressed in a Tang suit, with a smile on his face as he greeted the guests.
Today is his 70th birthday. Following Xiao Qi's advice, he celebrated it with great fanfare.
Perhaps it won't be long before the Xiao family will take another step forward, and then the four clans in Yanjing will become five clans.
It took him thirty years to get to this point, but at least he did it.
From then on, the Xiao family will be remembered forever.
Xiao Qi had been entertaining guests at the front. By noon, Xiao Wanli still hadn't seen his biological son Xiao Yuecheng show up.
He felt a little unhappy: "Xiao Qi, your second brother hasn't come yet?"
"I just called to urge him. My second brother has an important meeting and he is on his way here now." Xiao Qi said respectfully.
Xiao Wanli's face looked a little unhappy: "Humph, I think he did it on purpose."
"He still has resentment towards me, but he hasn't really considered that everything I did was for his own good."
“How could he have achieved what he has today if I hadn’t paved the way for him?”
"Father, my second brother is just in a bad mood, but today is your big day, he will definitely come." Xiao Qi said with a smile.
Xiao Wanli nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with Xiao Qi's performance.
In the Xiao family villa, the main hall was full of guests.
"Master Xiao, congratulations."
"Haha, Patriarch Xiao is already seventy? My father is over fifty, and he's not as energetic as you."
"Luck, this is all due to the blessing of luck, people look younger."
"That's right. Young Master Xiao is invincible on the battlefield, and Second Young Master Xiao is rising rapidly in the world. This is all thanks to the blessing of Old Master Xiao."
As soon as Xiao Wanli entered the main hall, he was greeted with endless compliments.
Xiao Wanli smiled as he greeted and thanked the guests who came to congratulate him.
Seeing that the banquet was about to begin, Xiao Wanli walked onto the stage and said a few words.
"Everyone, I would like to express my gratitude to you all for coming here."
"The Xiao family adheres to the principle of mutual benefit and win-win. We should cooperate more in the future. You all know what kind of person I am."
"Yes, Patriarch Xiao is the most kindhearted. It won't be wrong to cooperate with the Xiao family."
"Mr. Xiao is righteous."
In an instant, compliments were heard everywhere.
"Benevolence? Haha, brother who mentioned benevolence, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about benevolence?"
As a voice came over, Xiao Chen arrived at the scene without knowing when.
"Father, Xiao Chen said he came to celebrate your birthday." Xiao Qi hurried in.
"Xiao Chen? Also surnamed Xiao, who is this?"
"I don't know, there's no such person in the Xiao family, right?"
"How long have you not watched the news? The boss behind Chenhai Technology is now deeply cooperating with the military industry and aerospace."
"I remember now, this person's surname is also Xiao. What is his relationship with the Xiao family?"
For a moment, the guests were talking about it.
Not many people know Xiao Chen's identity, they only know that he is a very popular figure recently.
Moreover, he is so young and yet he has become one of the best. This is not only due to his incredible luck, but also his own strong strength.
"Xiao Chen, you are here after all?" Xiao Wanli smiled.
"Today is your birthday. I said I would give you a big gift. Now that I have said it, I must do it." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Well, it's rare that you have such filial piety." Xiao Wanli laughed. He thought Xiao Chen was surrendering to him.
"What great gift did you give me? Take it out and let me see it."
"No rush. The gift I give you is very special, but there is a prerequisite, that is, you have to tell everyone who I am." Xiao Chen smiled slightly.
"If you have any other requests, please tell me all of them." Xiao Wanli smiled.
He thought this was the condition proposed by Xiao Chen. Xiao Chen had been in a stalemate with him for so long just for him to personally acknowledge Xiao Chen's identity.
This was Xiao Chen's request to return to the Xiao family, because he felt that Xiao Chen was afraid that he would be hidden after returning to the Xiao family.
"I have no other requests. This is my only request." Xiao Chen shook his head slightly.
"Okay." Xiao Wanli nodded slightly.
He glanced at the guests present and smiled slightly, saying, "I'd like to take advantage of this auspicious day to make an announcement."
"Some of you may be familiar with Xiao Chen. After all, his Chenhai Technology was quickly absorbed by the aerospace and military industries as soon as it came out."
"But in fact, Xiao Chen has another identity. That is Xiao Chen, a member of my Xiao family."
"Someone from the Xiao family? Oh my god, the Xiao family is indeed full of talented people."
"His luck is overwhelming. This Xiao Chen is truly remarkable. It turns out he comes from the Xiao family."
"Could this be the missing young master from Xiao Gucheng's family?"
"Yes, he is the child who disappeared eighteen years ago." Xiao Wanli smiled slightly.
There was a moment of silence in the crowd, and a moment later, the guests were all excited.
