He led Hui Lin to the reception area on the first floor of the company. In order to receive different customers, other than the front desk, there were various reception rooms of different sizes on the first floor. They were separated by fashionable soundproofing walls, which made the rooms look simple and beautiful.
After walking into the room mentioned by the staff at the front desk, Yang Cheng saw the person whom he had guessed.
Lin Zhiguo was wearing a slightly heavy black coat, holding a cup of hot tea that was served by a staff member. On his relatively young face, not many traces of age could be seen. He sat quietly in his seat. Even if he did not say a word, he still had a dignified aura without being angry.
Gray Robe was still the same as before, standing quietly in the corner with his head lowered, as if he was dozing off.
When he saw Yang Cheng and Hui Lin walk in, Lin Zhiguo's unsmiling face revealed a gentle smile. Of course, it was only directed at Hui Lin.
"Hui Er, come to grandpa's side," Lin Zhiguo waved at Hui Lin.
When Hui Lin saw Lin Zhiguo, a hint of joy appeared on her face, but then she looked conflicted. After hesitating for a while, she sat beside Lin Zhiguo obediently.
Yang Chen pulled a chair for himself and sat down. Crossing his legs, he yawned and didn't say a word.
Lin Zhiguo didn't care about Yang Cheng. He held his granddaughter's hand and asked with a smile, "Have you gotten used to Zhonghai? Is there anything you need? Grandpa will buy it for you. I heard that you're learning to sing and dance here. Do you want to be a singer? "
Hui Lin said softly, "Grandpa, I might not be able to become a singer. I just want to find a job that I like."
"Hehe, my Hui Er is so smart, you'll definitely succeed. Oh right, since you're working here, why don't grandpa buy you a car? "Lin Zhiguo suggested.
Hui Lin hurriedly shook her head. "No, it's okay. Grandpa, I don't know how to drive, and … and my sister said she would send me to pick me up."
Lin Zhiguo's face lit up. "Hui 'er, you said … you said you called Ruoxi Big Sister? You don't hate her? "
Yang Cheng also looked at Hui Lin. He was curious as to how Hui Lin viewed Lin Ruoxi. She had grown up by Abbess Yun Miao's side, so she should hate Lin Ruoxi. After all, she was the granddaughter of a third party.
"Why should I hate her …" Hui Lin said softly, "Sister is also very pitiful. Sister didn't do anything wrong. Even if Grandma hated her, she should only hate her sister's grandmother. That was a matter between Grandpa and Grandma. I just feel that the same blood flows in my body as my sister. As long as my sister treats me well, I should like her. "
Lin Zhiguo's eyes were a little red. Even an old man who had been through hundreds of battles and held a high position couldn't help but feel emotional when he heard his granddaughter's words.
"Ruoxi … Does she know who you are?" Lin Zhiguo asked.
Hui Lin shook her head. "I don't dare to say, grandpa. I'm afraid that my sister will hate me."
"I'm sorry, Hui 'er. Because of Grandpa's mistake, both of you have to grow up so hard." Lin Zhiguo sighed bitterly.
Hui Lin kept quiet, as if she didn't know how to answer. After all, she had grown up with Abbess Yun Miao. She must have held a grudge against Lin Zhiguo. After all, it was Lin Zhiguo who had wronged Abbess Yun Miao and caused her parents to lose their lives overseas.
Gray Robe, who had been standing in the corner, suddenly said, "Master, since Miss Hui Er is able to stay with Miss Ruoxi, there will be a day when that ill-fated relationship can be resolved. I believe that in the near future, Master will be able to hear Miss Ruoxi calling you grandpa."
Lin Zhiguo's eyes lit up with hope, but he suppressed it soon after. He turned to Hui Lin and said, "Hui Er, you're very pure, kind, and reasonable. This makes me very happy. However, your sister is more stubborn and tenacious than you. She can even do things by hook or by crook. However, there's one thing that's similar to you. She's a kind person, but because of the pain that grandpa brought to her, she had no choice but to endure the pressure of the outside world and grow up stubbornly. So, if one day, she discovers your true identity and gets angry at you, don't argue with your sister. Because the one she hates isn't you, but me, your grandpa. "
Hui Lin nodded slowly and bit her lips, not saying a word.
Emotions flashed across Yang Cheng's eyes. Although Lin Zhiguo didn't watch Lin Ruoxi grow up and had only seen her a few times since she was young, he understood this granddaughter of his very well. It was true that family members understood each other the best.
After chatting with Hui Lin for a while more, Lin Zhiguo then said to Yang Cheng, who had been ignored for a long time, "Recently, you seem to have some troubles."
Yang Cheng knew that Lin Zhiguo was definitely talking about the matter of killing Zeng Xinlin and Xu Zhihong. He sneered and said, "That's not trouble, it's just a small worry. If you insist on saying that it's trouble, then I feel that going to Beijing and killing everyone in the Zeng Family is quite troublesome. "
"Hmph!" Lin Zhiguo snorted coldly. "You should be very clear that that's not realistic. Although you have the capability to do so, there are millions of people in this world who hate you. Can you kill all of them? You're not an emotionless machine. The fact that you're willing to return to Hua Xia and live a normal life means that you're still a person with feelings. Anyone who has killed knows that killing others will cause them pain, and so will the people around them. You won't do something so foolish. "
When Hui Lin heard the conversation between Lin Zhiguo and Yang Cheng, her watery eyes widened. She didn't understand what was going on and obediently didn't interrupt.
Yang Cheng stretched out his finger and scratched his cheek. "What else can I do? They're all thinking of killing your granddaughter. Although I can protect her, what about the people I care about? I don't have three heads and six arms. I have no other choice but to eliminate them at the most crucial moment."
"Don't worry, what you're worried about won't happen." Lin Zhiguo revealed a profound smile.
Yang Cheng frowned. "What do you mean?"
"At the very least, before Hua Xia's general election ends next year, the Zeng Family won't dare to act rashly. Unless they don't want to have a foothold in Hua Xia's politics anymore," Lin Zhiguo said confidently.
Yang Cheng thought for a moment. "Could it be that you pressured them?"
"Although our Lin Family has some influence, we never interfere with aristocratic families or politics. Anyway, someone with enough influence helped you out. Moreover, that person is much more useful than me," Lin Zhiguo said.
Looking at Lin Zhiguo's secretive expression, many possibilities flashed through Yang Cheng's mind. In the end, there was only one plausible reason. However, as soon as he thought of that reason, Yang Cheng felt a strong sense of irritation.
"I don't like people who meddle in other people's business." Yang Cheng's breathing became uneven. "I can solve everything myself."
"Yang Cheng!" Lin Zhiguo suddenly raised his voice and said with a serious expression, "I always thought that you're a man who's more mature than your age. Now, it seems that's not the case. In this world, not everything can be solved by killing. That's the lowest method. You know this better than anyone else. Also, in this world, there are some things that you can't deny even if you don't want to admit it! If it's yours, it's yours. Even if you want to escape, you can't! "
Yang Cheng squinted his eyes, and a cold light flashed in his eyes. "If you only want to talk to me about this nonsense, I'm not interested in listening."
Lin Zhiguo let out a long breath and drank a mouthful of tea before saying, "Alright, then I'll tell you something else."
"Hurry up, I'm getting off work soon." Yang Cheng was a little impatient.
"You should also know that during this period of time, our Dragon Team and Water Dragon Team have both lost a lot of manpower. So, starting from the end of this month, we'll be recruiting a batch of elites from all over Hua Xia to be the reserves of our Yellow Flame Iron Brigade. They'll be undergoing rigorous assessment and training. I hope that you can be the chief instructor in the training base in Zhonghai and give them practical guidance … "Lin Zhiguo said.
Yang Cheng raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but laugh. "Aren't you looking for trouble for me? If I become the chief instructor, wouldn't it be obvious that I've become a family with you guys? This won't do me any good. "
"First of all, you're only the chief instructor in name. You can totally let someone else take charge of the daily teaching. Don't think that I don't know that the team you brought into the country the last time was the 'Sea Eagles' mercenary group that stirred up trouble in the Mediterranean Sea and the Persian Gulf. In our training, we lack the tactical concepts of this international top mercenary group. Secondly, I can promise you that I'll provide you with the latest assistance in the future to protect those you care about. At the very least, you won't be caught off guard by opponents like the Zeng family. "After Lin Zhiguo finished speaking, he sipped his tea and waited patiently for Yang Cheng's reply.
Yang Cheng was silent. Lin Zhiguo's conditions were indeed attractive, especially the fact that he was willing to provide protection. This was what gave him a headache. After all, he couldn't send a large number of mercenaries to Hua Xia to protect the people around him. Even if those people were willing, it would be selfish of him to delay their normal work. That was why he only asked Sauron to send a small team of Sea Eagles over.
Then, he thought that he would be divorcing Lin Ruoxi in half a year. At that time, without this level of kinship, it would be better for him to be friendly to Lin Zhiguo.
Thinking of this, Yang Cheng nodded. "No problem. However, this matter must be kept secret. As much as possible, don't let the outside world know that I'm involved."
Lin Zhiguo's face revealed a smile of understanding. "Don't worry, I understand the importance of this. When you're needed, we'll contact you again. "
After the discussion, Lin Zhiguo didn't stay any longer. After telling Hui Lin to take care of herself, he left the company quietly with Gray Robe.
Not long after, Hui Lin received a call from Lin Ruoxi. She asked Hui Lin to go downstairs and go home together.
Hui Lin seemed to be in high spirits. It seemed like she had a lot of things to say to Lin Ruoxi in the car. As for Lin Zhiguo, she obviously wouldn't mention a word about it.
Yang Cheng looked at the time. It was almost time, so he went downstairs and drove home.
In the car, Yang Chen's mind kept recalling the person who pressured the Zeng family to help him. Although he wasn't sure who it was, the vague possibility made the string that had been buried in Yang Chen's heart for too many years gently tremble.
With a heavy heart, Yang Cheng returned home. Lin Ruoxi and Hui Lin had just arrived.
When they got out of Lin Ruoxi's Bentley, the two women were chatting happily. However, when they saw Yang Cheng following them home, they didn't greet him.
Yang Cheng smiled bitterly. It was one thing for Lin Ruoxi, but Hui Lin was the same. It was obvious that she had learned from her sister. She didn't learn the good stuff, but she learned the cold and indifferent Kung Fu pretty quickly.
When Yang Cheng entered the house, he said to Lin Ruoxi, who was ignoring him. "Ruoxi, can we talk? I have something to discuss with you."
