Standing in the chilly wind, Hao Ren froze.
Zhao Yanzi sounded as if Hao Ren had gone out to play and was scolded by his wife for coming home late at night.
Zhao Yanzi glared at Hao Ren viciously, but she was secretly happy. She had seen Hao Ren being attacked by 16 elders of West Ocean, and she was anxious but couldn't do anything to help. She returned to the house and was about to go to East Ocean to get help when she saw Hao Ren coming back safe and sound.
While Zhao Yanzi was standing at the door, Xie Yujia walked out and walked to Hao Ren. She pulled up her sleeves and wiped the sweat and rain off Hao Ren's face with the cloth of her shirt.
Hao Ren, who was standing in the cold wind, was touched by her warm and friendly gesture.
Silence was better than words, and nothing could be said.
Zhao Yanzi was dumbfounded as she looked at the scene outside the door. She didn't expect that her carelessness had allowed Xie Yujia to get to Hao Ren first. She had just said those harsh words, and she couldn't swallow her pride to be considerate to Hao Ren.
"Come in. It's cold outside." After wiping the sweat off Hao Ren's face, Xie Yujia gently pulled Hao Ren's wrist into the house.
Zhao Yanzi, who was standing at the door, was even more shocked.
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili, who were still standing outside the door, covered their mouths and laughed.
Obviously, Big Zhumu Xie Yujia's gentle welcome won this round.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Lu Linlin and Lu Lili turned into two blue lights and dashed into the sky.
It was almost midnight, and they didn't want to disturb Hao Ren's family.
Hao Ren looked back and nodded slightly when he saw Lu Linlin and Lu Lili leaving. The Lu sisters looked very naughty, but they had done a lot in the name of repaying a debt of gratitude.
In the house, Zhao Yanzi followed Hao Ren and Xie Yujia into the house hurriedly and yelled, "Grandma! Hao Ren is back! "
"Ren is back!" Grandma who had been waiting anxiously immediately stood up from the sofa.
"Grandma! I'm fine! "Hao Ren walked over quickly and helped Grandma up.
Grandma was so excited that she didn't notice that Hao Ren's clothes were different. She patted her chest when she saw that Hao Ren wasn't hurt.
In the living room, Little White ran circles around Hao Ren's feet. It had a close relationship with Hao Ren, so of course it was worried about Hao Ren's safety.
Zhen Congming had followed Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang back to the house. With a cup of hot tea in his hand, he quietly watched the family reunion.
If it weren't for Hao Ren's sudden outburst, Zhen Congming would have revealed his demon beast form in a fit of rage.
"Seriously, your mother and I have nothing to do, why did you come looking for us? It's dangerous to drive in a storm! "Hao Zhonghua scolded Hao Ren when he saw him.
Two hours ago, the rescue team in charge of the coastal section found the white Ford stuck on the highway. When they found out that the people trapped were the famous Hao couple, they immediately increased their vigilance and personally escorted them back to the seaside villa.
After all, Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang were national treasures. If something bad happened to them in East Ocean City, East Ocean City wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.
Seeing that Hao Zhonghua was very angry, Hao Ren didn't answer. He just smiled faintly.
"What kind of attitude is that?!" Hao Zhonghua was even angrier.
"Alright, Ren was just worried about you two! Now Zi is back safely, and Ren is back as well! It's all in the past! "Grandma didn't want Hao Zhonghua to scold Hao Ren, so she stood in the middle to stop them.
"Humph!" Hao Zhonghua snorted in dissatisfaction. He took out his cell phone and dialed a number. "Hello, Director Liu. It's okay. It's okay. My son is back. I'm sorry to disturb you so late at night. "
"Good, good, good! It's good that you are okay!" A middle-aged man's polite voice came from the phone.
When Hao Zhonghua returned home, he found that Hao Ren hadn't come back for a few hours. Anxious, he called the Director of the Public Security Bureau of East Ocean City.
The Director of the Public Security Bureau, who was sleeping, was so scared that he broke out in cold sweat when he heard that Hao Zhonghua and Yue Yang's son went missing in the middle of the night. He made many emergency calls and issued orders, and the entire police system of East Ocean City was mobilized in a short time.
If Hao Zhonghua didn't call him, the Director of the Public Security Bureau would have mobilized the only two helicopters in the police system of East Ocean City to search for Hao Ren in his frenzy.
Hao Zhonghua never liked to ask for help. If Hao Ren didn't go missing, he wouldn't have called the Director of the Public Security Bureau in the middle of the night.
Because of Hao Zhonghua's call, the entire police system of East Ocean City was mobilized in the middle of the night. How could Hao Zhonghua not be angry when Hao Ren returned to the house as if nothing had happened?
"Uncle, Hao Ren was worried about you two, so he drove out to look for you. It's normal for him to get lost in the storm, "Xie Yujia walked up and tried to comfort him.
Her gentle voice instantly calmed Hao Zhonghua's anger.
"Forget it. Ren, don't be so impulsive in the future," Yue Yang finally said.
Hao Ren ignored his own safety and braved the storm to look for them in the middle of the night. In fact, Yue Yang was very touched. Hao Ren seemed to have a cold relationship with them, but this incident showed Yue Yang his true feelings, which made Yue Yang feel very comforted.
"We still have to go on an outing tomorrow. Since everyone is fine, let's go to bed early," Grandma said as she waved her hand to smooth things over.
"Yeah, let's all go to bed early …" Yue Yang looked up and saw that it was already midnight.
"There's one more thing that I didn't finish," Hao Zhonghua interrupted Yue Yang and said with a serious expression, "Yue Yang, when we were stuck on the road, I really saw a dragon."
Hao Ren couldn't help but twitch when he heard the word.
"Zhonghua … Why do you believe in this?" Yue Yang looked helpless. "How can there be a creature like a dragon in this world?"
"It's true! I really saw it!" Hao Zhonghua insisted.
When Hao Ren returned to the house, Hao Zhonghua's worries were gone, and his anger had subsided. The topic of the conversation was the scene that had just shocked him.
"Dragons do exist." Grandma picked up her teacup and said, "When I was young, I worked in the fields …"
Hao Ren immediately used Grandma's words again.
Yue Yang looked even more helpless. She had heard Grandma's words countless times since she married into the Hao Family, and she almost got calluses in her ears.
However, how could she believe the old lady's words? How could such a mythical creature really exist?
In the past, Hao Zhonghua had never believed in such unrealistic legends like her. However, after this rainy night, Hao Zhonghua insisted that he had seen a dragon with his own eyes, which made Yue Yang feel helpless.
"Yeah, I saw a few black dragons and a white dragon today," Hao Zhonghua followed Grandma's words and continued.
"Your eyes must be playing tricks on you. You must be too tired from being in charge of the research institute. Let's go on an outing tomorrow and relax," Yue Yang rubbed Hao Zhonghua's temples and said with concern.
Hao Zhonghua couldn't convince Yue Yang, so he turned to Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia and asked, "Did you see a dragon just now?"
Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia looked at each other and then turned to Hao Zhonghua and shook their heads.
Hao Zhonghua sighed and asked them again, "Do you believe that dragons exist in this world?"
Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia looked at each other and then turned to Hao Zhonghua and shook their heads again.
"Ugh …" Hao Zhonghua was speechless. He turned to Hao Ren and asked, "Ren, you were outside just now. Did you see a dragon in the clouds?"
"Um … No," Hao Ren said after a few seconds of hesitation.
Hao Zhonghua stood stiffly in the living room and suddenly felt isolated. He was a world-class biologist, but at this moment, he seemed to represent ignorance while the other non-specialists seemed to represent the truth.
"Zhonghua, don't be afraid. I support you! There must be dragons! "Grandma stood beside Hao Zhonghua and said with determination.
Hao Zhonghua turned to look at Grandma and sighed again.
Of all the people here, Grandma's opinion was the weakest.
"Since you all don't believe me, I will start a new research project next week to explore the existence of dragons," Hao Zhonghua stood up and said.
"Zhonghua, don't be silly. Dragons are totems, and they originated from the ancient people's reverence for water snakes. The so-called flying in the clouds doesn't conform to scientific principles," Yue Yang tried to dissuade him.
"You all don't believe me, but I do! One day, I will find a real dragon! "Hao Zhonghua's words were loud and clear.
Yue Yang exhaled deeply. She couldn't express her support for her husband's decision, nor could she oppose it.
With Hao Zhonghua's status in the scientific community, such a research project would definitely cause a lot of heated discussions, and countless doubts and mockery would follow.
Hao Ren, who was standing across from Hao Zhonghua, sighed quietly.
His dad set up a huge research fund to find evidence of a dragon, but he didn't know that the so-called living dragon was standing in front of him.
"Zhonghua, I support you!" Just when everyone in the living room was silent, Grandma suddenly said passionately.
This was the first time that Grandma publicly supported Hao Zhonghua's research project. In the past, she thought that Hao Zhonghua's research projects were too profound and far away. She didn't understand anything about genes or cells. However, Grandma found the 'dragon search' project very 'practical'.
"Ok, this project will attract the attention of the whole country and even the whole world, and it will also promote the research of marine organisms near the East Ocean. This is also a good idea." Yue Yang compromised slightly. "It's getting late. Let's go to bed. We still have a trip tomorrow."
Zhao Yanzi and Xie Yujia looked at each other and didn't speak.
Hao Ren, on the other hand, was a bit anxious. "With Hao Zhonghua's reputation in the mortal world, will he dig out the dragon cultivators with all kinds of high-tech methods?" he thought.
"Little White! Time to sleep! "Zhen Congming whistled at Little White, and it hopped into the room after Zhen Congming.
Bang!
At this moment, a huge wave that was dozens of meters high suddenly appeared on the ocean surface thousands of meters away from the window of the house!
The war between the East Ocean Dragon Clan and the West Ocean Dragon Clan had officially begun!
