Sheng Qian returned to the Long family with several large gift boxes, but quietly.
Only by asking the guards did they learn that apart from Old Master Long being at home, everyone else had gone out. Hou Guifang and the other wealthy women also had their own things to do, and Long Haifeng had returned to his department after recovering.
Only a few days ago did Long Xufang come back to see Long Shaotian and his foreign wife.
"grandfather."
"I'm back!"
Elder Long came out when he heard the commotion.
"I'm back. How are you feeling?"
"Why did you bring all this back with you?"
"It was brought back from Haicheng, and I've already taken some to Helan's house," which means everyone got a share.
Old Master Long asked her to sit down before speaking, "You've come back at an inopportune time; they've all gone out. I'll have someone call them."
"No need for that. I'll just talk to you, Grandpa. Don't bother them."
Old Long thought he also had something to say to Sheng Qian, so he didn't make the call again.
“Since last year, things have been quite unsettled in the capital. Although it hasn’t affected the outside world, things are in complete chaos inside.” Old Long looked Sheng Qian up and down. “I’ve heard about what happened in Haicheng, and I’ve been very worried about your safety.”
"I only suffered a minor injury, and I've already recovered," Sheng Qian said, not elaborating on her experiences in Haicheng.
"There's no need to hide anything from me. Your legs are injured. Have they healed properly?"
Sheng Qian was taken aback.
She didn't expect that Elder Long would know about this.
"He's fully recovered and there are no lasting effects. Did Yunting tell you about this? I told him not to tell his family about what happened in Haicheng."
He broke his promise.
Old Long said, "Among the people involved in the Haicheng operation, there are some of my former subordinates."
Sheng Qian suddenly looked up at Elder Long, "Some of those who followed Yun Ting into Haicheng were your people?"
“I arranged for him to get in. Yunting only found out later, so it’s not his fault. I was worried about your safety, so I used some connections.”
It's easy to say, but the fact that retired people can still use such connections shows that Elder Long has put in a lot of effort and has been keeping an eye on them.
After learning about this, Sheng Qian couldn't describe how she felt.
Elder Long's concern for them was genuine.
"thank you."
“Our family should thank you,” Elder Long said with emotion. “If it weren’t for you by Yunting’s side, we probably wouldn’t have made it through.”
Thinking about Elder Long's physical condition at that time, if Long Yunting had not woken up and Long Haifeng had run into trouble, not only would Elder Long not have survived, but Hou Guifang might not have been able to hold on either.
She didn't investigate what happened to the Long family afterward, only knowing that she had occasionally heard about them when she lived in the capital.
However, at that time, the Long family no longer made a name for themselves in the center of the capital, and they were even more low-key than the Helan family.
But that is definitely not retirement.
Perhaps there were traces, but she was too busy dealing with S District to pay attention to the Long family's traces.
Or perhaps you encountered them at some point but didn't recognize them as members of the Long family.
Sheng Qian thought that her rebirth not only changed the landscape, but also changed the Long family.
"Qian girl, I will not let you suffer any injustice while I am still alive. Yunting is often away from home, and he cannot be by your side to solve your problems. Our Long family has already let you down. If anything happens, please don't keep it to yourself. Although I am old, there are still many things I can do to help."
Elder Long told Sheng Qian to come to him if she needed anything, and that he would back her up.
Upon receiving these words from Elder Long, Sheng Qian felt a mix of emotions. "Thank you!"
"The Helan family has indeed been affected. The grudges between you and that so-called S District should be settled. If you have any thoughts, you can tell me. I will try my best to arrange things, but there is one thing I must say: whatever you do, you must do it with a clear conscience. We, the Long family, cannot do anything that goes against our conscience, let alone anything that would betray the country."
Sheng Qian said, "I have never done anything to wrong anyone, so Grandpa doesn't need to worry."
“I know a little about what you’ve been doing in the last two years. Be careful, Ye family of Haicheng.”
Sheng Qian was stunned again.
Judging from Elder Long's posture, he's about to lay his cards on the table.
“You are very familiar with the situation in Haicheng.”
“If I don’t understand, how can I make plans for you at any time? I just hope you don’t blame your grandfather for being nosy.”
"How could I blame you? I'm overjoyed," she said, unaware that this serious old man would care so much about her.
She hadn't even paid attention to what the old man had done behind the scenes.
"I see you are very interested in business, so I declined the position I originally intended to give you. Hongwen has now taken a different path, and I hope he can help you in the future. The future of the Long family also depends on your concerted efforts to move forward."
"Grandpa is still in good health. As long as there are no accidents, he can live for several more decades."
Old Long waved his hand and said, "I know my own body. No matter how good you are, you can't completely cure my ailments. I worked too hard when I was young, and now that I'm this age, I can't do it anymore."
Sheng Qian stared at Elder Long for a long time without saying a word.
Because with her abilities, that's all she can do.
Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural course of life.
But when faced with it, I still can't bear to.
Moreover, judging from Elder Long's appearance, he seemed to have no intention of continuing.
Once a person completely relaxes, they will quickly become decadent.
The same applies to psychology.
With Long Yunting now holding the reins and Long Hongwen pursuing a different path, Old Master Long should be completely at ease handing the family over to his grandchildren.
