C1 Dragon Return to Old Earth (1/2)
”Wuwuwu …”
The huge train emitted a monstrous cry as it soared into the sky! Those who heard this felt their scalps go numb.
Ding Lei stood at the entrance of the train station, with an indescribable feeling. Facing the changing Luocheng, he lamented the fact that things had changed and that after many years of hard work, he had returned.
Only then did he remember the letter the old man had written before he left. He shook it open to the wind, and there were only a few lines of ancient poetry on it. Don't worry about not knowing your friend before you, who in the world doesn't know their lord.
Signature: Huang Qibai.
Huang Qibai, from Shandong province, studied medicine at the age of five, diagnosed and saved people at the age of twelve, became famous at the age of eighteen, and gained fame at the age of twenty-eight. Starting from the age of twenty-eight, he traveled to famous mountains and rivers, wrote the medicine's title encyclopedia ”Thousand Directions White Grass”, and retired to the Southern Mountain at the age of fifty-six.
Looking at the two lines of calligraphy on the paper, Ding Lei laughed coldly: ”I'm old now, and have not forgotten to show off and learn. What hidden medicine king, he's clearly just an old man who likes to flaunt his skills.” After he finished, he saw a taxi parked by the side of the road. Carefully folding the letter, he got on the taxi and left. His words were sarcastic, but in his heart, there was a deep sense of care and longing for his master.
Half an hour later, facing a rich and powerful family with such a high Liao Family, Ding Lei wondered if he had walked into the wrong place. In fact, he was extremely familiar with 73 Fish Ox Road. He was born here twenty-one years ago, number seventy-three, Fish Ox Road. That was the number of his Ding Family.
Now, 21 years had passed and the Ding Family in the past had changed. The simple four-story villa had quietly evolved into a beautiful six-story building. There were nearly a hundred rooms, and the area used to be several thousand meters was now only occupied by one family member.
Fifteen years ago, Ding Lei was the only one left of the Ding Family that had once stood out. His heart was filled with emotions. He stood outside the door for a long time without making a move, which attracted the attention of a security guard inside the mansion.
”Hey, what are you doing?” A large man wearing a suit with earphones on his head strode over with a vigilant expression.
”I'm looking for someone.”
”To whom?”
”Liao Shengnan, Uncle Liao.”
”Liao Shengnan,” the security guard gasped and asked: ”What's your name?”
”Ding Lei.”
”Yes, yes. ”Please come in,” The security guard directly opened the door. It was obvious that he had never seen Ding Lei before, but knew of Ding Lei's name, so he reacted instinctively. Completely satisfied with the other party's reverent attitude, Ding Lei patted on the security guard's shoulder and said: ”You're not bad!”
Ah!” ”Thank you!” His legs went soft, causing the security guard's face to turn pale in pain. However, Ding Lei did not manage to ”clearly see” the security guard's expression change, and walked towards the small building. It wasn't easy for the security guard to calm down as he dialed Chief Steward Liao Feng's number.
Fifteen minutes later, on the fourth floor of the sixth floor. With a gloomy expression, Liao Shengnan appeared in the control room and asked: ”Is Ding Lei still here?”
”Here.”
”Well, what is he like?”
”He was very impetuous, but also very cautious. He entered the living room and looked around. The servant brought him some tea and snacks, but apart from politely taking a sip, he did not touch them a second time. Judging from his habitual movements, although Ding Lei was young, he had a scheming mind. Old master, I think that I made a huge mistake when I first chose … ”
”Don't say anymore,” Liao Shengnan cut the other party off, and said: ”I have my own ideas.”
”Alright, since that kid doesn't seem to be friendly, old master should be careful!”
”You still wet behind the ears brat, will I be scared?” Liao Shengnan snorted, then quickly left the control room and headed downstairs.
When he heard the sound of footsteps coming from the stairs, Ding Lei hurriedly stood up. Their gazes met and Liao Shengnan laughed loudly: ”Nephew, you're finally back.”
Ding Lei heaved a sigh of relief and smiled apologetically: ”Uncle Liao, your body is still as tough as it was before.”
”You're too kind!” After sitting down, Liao Shengnan stared at him for a long while before he said, ”Ding Lei, you are really too similar to Brother Dai Huai! Looking at you is like seeing the Mr Ding back then. When your mother was in a car accident, your father collapsed. Who would have thought that in just a few days, both of them had died. At that time, you were only six years old. I had wanted to retrieve your Ding Family but before Mr Ding passed on, he entrusted you to an old doctor. ”With this separation, fifteen years have passed. I never would have thought that you and I would meet one day …”
As Liao Shengnan spoke, his eyes became moist, his tone became high and low, his emotions fluctuating violently. With Ding Lei's sharp observation skills, he actually saw that the other party's attitude towards him had changed after thinking about their old relationship, and the fact that it penetrated into his bone marrow caused his body to stiffen.
”Nephew, what's wrong?” Liao Shengnan said in astonishment.
”Uh, nothing?” Ding Lei wiped away the sweat on his forehead and said with a bitter smile: ”Being mentioned by Uncle Liao caused me to be unable to control my emotions.”
”Human nature, human nature. Ding Lei, what plans do you have to return to Luocheng? ” Liao Shengnan asked tentatively.
”Plans? Settle down first. Uncle Liao, what other businesses do we have in Luocheng? ” Ding Lei asked.
”Is there? Why don't I know? ” Liao Shengnan pretended to be surprised.
”There's nothing else! Yeah, I also feel that we should have gone missing for a long time, ”Ding Lei said” No worries ”. His chest was filled with ten thousand mud horses running about.
