Chapter 50: The Truth About His Origins Comes To Light

  Yanjing Military Region Hospital, all members of the Tianlong Team have been hospitalized collectively for the past few days. Fortunately, each and every one of their injuries has stabilized and there is no danger to their lives, so it's just a collective sick leave for everyone.

  Huang Chang was the fastest to recover, because she snatched a healing pill from Chu Zifeng's body, which made her injury heal in just a few hours. This shocked Lan Jianguo and others, wondering if it was the Huang family's secret that allowed Huang Chang to recover so quickly.

  However, as for Huang Chang's affairs, Lan Jian Guo and the others didn't think much of it. After all, the entire Tian Long team knew that the Huang family was one of China's top ancient martial arts families, with a heritage spanning several hundred years. The number of their hidden cards was something that ordinary people couldn't possibly know.

  At this moment, all the Tianlong team members who could get out of bed gathered in Lao Jian's ward. Lao Jian's left hand and right foot were both plastered, and his face was also bruised. In the past twenty years, Lao Jian had never been so seriously injured.

  "General, have you recovered?"

  As soon as Huang Chuan entered the ward, he saw not only his teammates but also Lanyu's wife, Liu Yu. Liu Yu is 40 years old and has been married to Lanyu for over a decade. She is also a comrade-in-arms and works in the Tianlong team, but she is responsible for logistics work. As an ordinary person, she does not need to go to the front line. In the Tianlong team, all members, including those from other squads, call Liu Yu "Sister Yu".

  Lan Jian Guo bitterly said: "Damn little wolf, almost fell into their hands. Xiao Chang, you be more careful, if those guys are still in Yanjing, don't make any rash moves for now, wait until our injuries heal, then we'll have a final showdown with them."

  Liu Yu sighed and said: "When will you change your temper? You've been hurt so badly, yet you still think about those wolf-like men."

  "Xiao Yu, we are all soldiers, as soldiers, we must be ready to sacrifice for the country and the people at any time."

  "Alright, alright, you win... Xiaoyu, don't mind him, let's all go back to our own rooms and rest. Don't irritate the wound or it'll be troublesome."

  The other team members said hello to Lan Jianguo and then returned to their respective wards.

  At this time, Huang Chiang took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to Lan Jianguo, saying: "Commander, please sign this."

  "What's the hurry? Can't it wait until I'm discharged?"

  "This is the bill for that batch of spiritual weapons, and the seller is waiting for me to pay. If we delay, how can we get goods in the future?"

  As for the matter of spiritual body weapons, Lan Jian Guo really didn't dare to delay. If they hadn't obtained that batch of spiritual body weapons this time, it's likely that they wouldn't have been able to wait for Tie Qian Kun and the others to arrive, and their entire team would have already been wiped out.

  Lan Jian Guo's eyes widened as he looked at the bill, and he exclaimed, "Three hundred million! Xiaoyu, didn't you say that batch of spiritual weapons only cost two hundred million before? Why is it one hundred million more now?"

  "General, would you mind using your brain a bit? You think it's just about that batch of spiritual weapons? Do you think the helper I invited doesn't need to be paid? The additional 10 million is the rescue fee. The expert I invited won't work for free, this is what I promised!"

  This thousand Chu Zi wind did not open his mouth, but Huang Chang himself asked for it for Chu Zi wind. No matter how you say it, he is helping the country's business. If he doesn't take some money, it would make the country look too petty.

  "Right, I've been unconscious for a whole day and almost forgot the most important thing! Xiaosang, who was that expert last night? Can you bring him to see me?"

  "General, to be honest, I also wanted to meet him. After all, it's rare to see such a master these days! Unfortunately, I only knew him online and didn't know his identity. Last night, as soon as things were over, he disappeared without even saying goodbye, just telling me to transfer the money to an overseas account he specified. I couldn't investigate his background at all!"

  Huang Chang wouldn't be foolish; having promised Chu Zifeng something, she naturally had to see it through and couldn't betray Chu Zifeng.

  Lan Jianguo's expression was a bit distracted, and Huang Shang called him several times before he weakly signed the letter.

  "General, you take a good rest, I'll handle those wolf-like men for now."

  Lan Jianguo waved his hand and didn't say a word, it's unknown what he was thinking in his heart.

  After Huang Xiang left the ward, Liu Yu saw Lan Jian Guo being so distracted and asked: "Jian Guo, what's wrong with you? Are you still worried about the meteorite being destroyed? Don't worry, I've already reported this to the Central Committee, and they just think it's a pity. They know how powerful the Wolf Clan is, and they don't blame us. They're investigating why the news of the meteorite was leaked, and I estimate that we'll have news soon."

  "Compared with meteorites, what I saw last night is hundreds or even thousands of times more important!" said Lan Jian Guo.

  Liu Yu was very familiar with her husband, and as long as the country entrusted him with a task, if it wasn't completed, he would blame himself for several years. Last night, the meteorite was destroyed, although it was a reasonable thing to do, even the central government could understand, but Liu Jian Guo's personality wouldn't let him pretend that nothing had happened.

  Now, Lan Jianguo says that there is something thousands of times more important than the meteorite, which can't help but make Liu Yu worry. Is it possible that her husband was really hurt too badly and has brain damage?

  "Founding of the nation, don't scare me, shall we call a doctor over?"

  "Xiao Yu, I know what you're thinking, but if you knew what I saw last night, I reckon you'd be just like us."

  Liu Yu's face was unclear, and he said: "What exactly did you see last night?"

  Lan Jian Guo looked at his wife, his lips moved, his voice was extremely soft, but very firm: "Teng Long Ring!"

  Liu Yu's hand was originally peeling an apple. As soon as he heard Lan Jian Guo's words, the fruit knife directly scratched Liu Yu's hand and fell to the ground along with the apple!

  "You, what did you say? What did you see last night?"

  Liu Yu's eyes were filled with astonishment, an incredulous astonishment, and he didn't even bother to tend to his hand that had been slashed by the knife.

  Lan Jian Guo said: "You must think I'm seeing things, mistaken, but I can be 100% sure, at that time I was indeed seriously injured, but my mind was extremely clear. What I saw at the time was indeed the Teng Long ring, and I couldn't have been wrong."

  "No, how is this possible? The Teng Long ring has been gone for eighteen years, how can it possibly appear in that secret base?"

  "It didn't appear in a secret base, but on the finger of that person Xiaoyu invited yesterday, so I asked Xiaoyu who that person is!"

  Liu Yu was stunned for a while before saying: "Could this be just a coincidence? That's just a ring that looks similar to the Teng Long Ring, it's only got a similar shape and appearance."

  "Absolutely impossible, I've said it before. I may mistake other things, but the Tenglong Ring, you should be very clear that I will absolutely not mistake!"

  "Could it be? Could it be that the Dragon Ring disappeared eighteen years ago? This is something we all know!"

  "The Teng Long ring indeed disappeared eighteen years ago, but Xiao Yu, don't forget that the Teng Long ring was stolen along with the child!"

  Liu Yu asked, "Jianguo, are you saying that the child is not dead after all and is still alive in this world? And yesterday evening, Xiaosong invited a master who was actually the child stolen eighteen years ago? Moreover, the Tenglong ring has been on the child's body all along?"

  "This is just my preliminary estimate, to confirm all this, I must see him in person to be certain."

  "What if it's true? What should we do then?"

  Lan Jian Guo smiled wryly and said, "Xiao Yu, you shouldn't ask me what to do, but rather say, if that master from yesterday was really the child who was stolen eighteen years ago, then what would happen?"

  "What will happen at the meeting?" Liu Yu asked, seemingly knowing the answer but perhaps too afraid to think about it.

  Lan Jian Guo gazed up at the ceiling, sighing: "That's a big deal! Back then we all thought it was better to suffer a short pain than a long one, so we lied to your older sister and my brother, telling them that the child had died. If they were to find out that their son is still alive in this world, think about it, with my brother's and your older sister's temperaments, what would they do?"

  Liu Yu said: "I'm very clear about my eldest sister's temper, she'll at most find all the people who cheated her back then and scold them a few times, that's it. But your sworn brother, if he finds out that we all worked together to deceive him back then, won't he flip out?!... Most importantly, this matter was brought up by Old Chief himself!"

  "Yes, even if my elder brother's temper has improved a lot over the years compared to twenty years ago, and he hasn't laid hands on the kids for eighteen years, but what about Old Man Chu?! The almighty God of Wealth back then was also disheartened by his children's affairs and handed over all his businesses to my elder brother and his other children to manage, and he himself went to Brazil to retire! If he were to find out about this matter, in a fit of rage, it would definitely trigger a financial tsunami that would ruin countless families!"

  Liu Yu swallowed her tongue and said, "The Chu family is full of treacherous heroes, they can't tolerate even half a grain of sand in their eyes. The Asian storm 40 years ago and the Huaxia wave 20 years ago were all because someone offended them father and son. If they find out about what happened 18 years ago, many people will be unlucky!"

  "Alas, a Chu family is already feared by the world, and now with your elder cousin's family, the Zhao..."

  "Because of the child's matter, my elder cousin and your elder brother had a falling out eighteen years ago. My elder cousin thought it was your elder brother's fault that led to the child's death, and she hasn't forgiven him for these eighteen years. If the child were still alive in this world, actually, it wouldn't necessarily be a bad thing!"

  "My point is not that it's a bad thing, but if it's true and the child really still exists in this world, then how are we going to deal with what comes next? How are we going to explain it to my older brother and your older cousin? How are we going to face Chu Lao Ye and Zhao Lao Ye, who have been at odds with each other over the child's issue for a long time? Even the current Number One Leader has not dared to touch this sensitive topic in all these years. How are we going to confront it?"

  "Founding the country, I think that if the child is still alive, then we can't make the same mistake as 18 years ago. We must tell my elder sister and your older brother about this matter, no matter how they scold us, it's what we deserve. But for now, the most important thing is to investigate clearly, whether the person who appeared last night is indeed the child from 18 years ago. After that, my wife and I will go apologize in person and tell my elder sister and your older brother about this matter. I believe they will forgive us!"

  Lan Jianguo closed his eyes and said: "I hope so!"
