Chapter 217: Family Meeting (Part Nineteen)Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Hurry up, hurry up, this main gate represents our Hong Family’s appearance, hurry up and fix it! Work faster!” A large group of workers at the Hong Family main gate inspected its repair.

Yesterday, the main gate had been knocked by Hong Dali’s lackey Li Yang till it flew out entirely. The gate had gone completely out of shape. Thus, it would not be easy to repair it back to how it originally looked like. Furthermore, the door couldn’t be changed even if they wanted to. So, they could only let the manufacturer hurry up in customizing it. As for this side, they could only use the crashed gate to keep up with appearances for now—this time, it was truly keeping up with appearances.

However, very soon later, they realized that something was not so right.

The engine of a cool sports car let out a low roar from afar, its speed incomparably fast as it directly sped towards the direction of the main gate. Behind that cool sports car, three comparably more ordinary sedans followed from afar. However, their speed was also incomparably fast, and they actually didn’t fall behind the black sports car much in terms of speed.

“This… what’s this situation?!” The guard witnessed this from afar and was instantly dumbfounded.

After he’d recovered from his shock, that guard shouted loudly in an insane manner. “Everyone, quickly run! Quickly run! That car’s going to crash over here!”

Upon hearing his shouts, the workers took only one look and, instantly, a few threw their tools and others ran away. Just within the time period of taking one breath, that cool black sports car had already appeared before their eyes!

“Mm, prepare for the clash.” Lin Chuyin’s insipid voice sounded from inside the car.

Afterward, the workers looked as if they’d seen a ghost. They saw steel plates that were fifteen centimeters thick extending out from the headstock of that super sports car. Before they’d recovered, “Boom!”

A huge earth-shattering sound sounded, and the front gate that had not yet been repaired to a finish was knocked out once again…

As for that cool sports car, it was unexpectedly completely fine, as it directly sped into the estate.

“Lu… Luckily, luckily.” Upon seeing the main gate being crashed till it flew off, what the guards thought about at the first instant was surprisingly, “Luckily that main gate had already been knocked once, there won’t be much difference with the addition of this time. Had it been a new one that was crashed again, how much money would that cost…”

Eventually, after the three cars behind had sped in as well, the guards finally recalled what their mission was and took out their walkie-talkies while desperately shouting. “Someone has barged through the main gate into the estate! Everybody, quickly gather to keep a sharp lookout! Gather quickly!”

“Mm, Hong Dali’s current location is…” Lin Chuyin looked at the screen.

…

“Old Elder, I beg for your help!” Hong Anbao, with a mournful face, was desperately begging Old Elder Hong Tu to think of a solution. If he were let that side let things go on further, he reckoned that even if his beverage was fine, people would probably not dare to drink it anymore—it would be a devastating loss.

“This… alright, wait for me…” After all, he was his grandson. Hong Tu, too, couldn’t bear to see him like that. Eventually, while he was thinking about wanting to help Hong Anbao, a huge “boom” sound sounded, and the entire main door of the conference room was crashed to bits and pieces, with the shreds of the pieces of wood spinning around and around the whole room. Soon after, Hong Tu saw that an extremely cool black sports car had stopped at the entrance of the conference room…

“What the heck is going on, what’s this situation now? Have I time-traveled?”

“Who is this, this person’s appearance is just too earth-shaking. Is that person filming a science-fiction movie? Look at that exterior of the car!”

“Who has such big audacity to barge into the conference room of the Forest Capital?!”

“Look at the exterior of the car, could this be that… Super technological geek?!”

“It can’t be, right? What did she come here for?”

“This… This is…” Probably ever since the Hong Family had constructed this Forest Capital, it was the first time that someone had entered the big conference room in this manner. Hong Tu was about to lose his temper; however, he very quickly realized the abnormality of that car. When he saw Lin Chuyin inside, he hurriedly came down from the platform, walked a few steps towards the front of the sports car, and cautiously said, “Miss, are you Miss Chuyin from the Lin Family?”

“Mm,” Upon opening the car door and coming out, Lin Chuyin nodded her head. “It’s me. Where’s Hong Dali?”

Upon hearing that she was here for Hong Dali, Hong Tu was a little worried. He naturally knew that this little lass was definitely a favorite child and someone who couldn’t be touched. However, upon hearing that she wanted to find Hong Dali, Hong Tu had to clarify things first. “That… May I know why Miss Chuyin is looking for our Dali, is it because…” Had he been careless, who knew what kind of trouble this lass might create.

“He should be my friend…” Lin Chuyin plainly replied. Soon after, she looked left and right but did not see Hong Dali—such a stir just now probably wasn’t heard at all by Hong Dali, for he was still sleeping…

Zzzzz—

The sound of a mechanic voice sounded, and Lin Chuyin’s eyes were instantly covered by a pair of electronic glasses. Upon scanning around the entire place, she very quickly discovered Hong Dali’s position. “The direction of the heat source is here, en, he’s asleep.”

The crowd around felt chills down their spines. No wonder she was a technological geek under national protection. This lass’ technology is ahead of ordinary life technology by nearly 10 years! What kind of gadgets did she bring all over her body?!

After keeping the electronic detection glasses, Lin Chuyin ignored the surrounding people and walked straight to Hong Dali’s side. She merely bent down slightly and stretched out a finger to jab his body. “Have you awoken?”

Even such a big stir did not wake Hong Dali, naturally, he didn’t have much reaction at this point. He was still sleeping soundly with his saliva dripping down his chin…

“If it’s a friend, what should I do at this point?” Lin Chuyin was a little uncertain. Soon after, she thought for a while and nodded as she said, “Mm, then I’ll just wait…”

She actually just openly and casually sat down there beside Hong Dali without any expression on her face, just like a robot.

However, it was an unapproachable robot.

“This…” Hong Tu wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead. The family meeting today was getting stranger the more he thought of it. Upon Lin Chuyin sitting down there, Hong Tu, too, did not dare to disturb her. While he was considering hurrying up and organizing and ordering things, a voice sounded from the entrance again. “Heh heh, I haven’t disturbed everyone, have I?”

Upon hearing that voice, everyone turned around and looked at the owner of the voice.

Speaking of which, tonight’s happenings had really come one after another, and ever since they had come to the reports about Dali’s achievements during this period, that had never stopped.

Now that yet another person had come, everyone became really curious as to what would happen again upon that person’s arrival.

“You are…” Someone who followed Lin Chuyin from behind was naturally not some simple figure. Furthermore, judging from the way they were dressed—especially the spectacles wore by the person in the lead—that was obviously a high-tech gadget. They looked a lot like Lin Chuyin’s sidekicks. However, what was going on with that big baldy behind whose hands were tied up?

“Hello, it must be Old Elder, isn’t it?” Mu Huishou introduced himself and said, “My name is Mu Huishou, currently the guardian of Miss Chuyin.”

Once he said that, Hong Tu instantly understood. The backgrounds of those few people were very powerful. No wonder they dared to directly follow her inside. Someone who could be Lin Chuyin’s guardian would at least be of a profile equivalent to that of the National Security Bureau. Hong Tu smiled and asked, “I understand. May I know the purpose of your arrival, Sir…” He looked again at that baldy who was tied up. “This person is…”

By then, the expressions of Hong Jianye and Hong Anbao had already changed, and they subconsciously wanted to flee. However, they were eventually stopped by Mu Huishou. “Isn’t it still a little too early for these two to leave?”

Once they heard Mu Huishou’s words, the two of them immediately knew that they were done for today.

Now, the estates that could originally be sold for billions were gone, Fierce Bull beverages would probably also sink into a low period of sales, and at this time, that baldy was also seized and brought here. Hong Anbao made an instant decision and leaped forward to kneel down in front of Hong Tu. In tears, he loudly exclaimed, “Old Elder! Big Grandfather! Please spare my life!”

He called out for his “Grandfather” on this occasion, thus, Hong Tu’s heart softened as he sighed a long breath and helplessly shook his head, saying with a bitter laugh, “This person, I reckon that he’s very related to you, and details are not very pleasant as well, right?”

Hong Jianye’s face turned pale, as he came over to stand dutifully behind Hong Tu and said with a low voice, “Father, it’s all my fault…”

Being able to become the Old Elder of the generation, Hong Tu was quite clear-minded. He sighed and said, “Yesterday, my old friend Wang Daoming said something, and I think that it’s very true.”

Speaking up to this point, Hong Tu looked around, and though his voice was not as clear and loud, what he meant was extremely clear. “That old friend of mine said that in order to enjoy, one must be able to suffer first. Give and take, give and take, there’s something to receive only if you give something. You two, sigh, you only harp over the ranking list all the while, but you’d neglected the basic principles of being a human.”

After he’d said that, all the surrounding descendants lowered their heads and did not say a word.

Indeed, they lived in the midst of competition every single day and had long forgotten the principle of being honest and kind.

“Do you know why I dote on Dali?” Hong Tu slowly continued, “This is definitely not because he performed so well this time, and it’s also not because of his luck that shocked everyone. It’s because he doesn’t scheme so much. He does squander, and he is ignorant and incompetent. But he is a good child, he knows how to be good to his parents and family, he understands that it’s good fortune to suffer losses. He’s nice to everybody. Such a simple principle, and yet both of you failed to understand.

“Humans, cannot go against their conscience.”

Everyone below hung their heads even lower.

Now that Old Elder had said those words, they then finally understood that they had lived their lives in vain all these years.

After Hong Tu said that, he smiled slightly and bowed towards Mu Huishou, saying, “This person, the few of you please bring him back, I’ve already roughly guessed what had happened. However, I urge the few of you to preserve the last bit of face for my Hong Family.”

Mu Huishou had originally come today to give Hong Dali a favor. In fact, he had never intended to embarrass the Hong Family, so he naturally agreed. Smiling, he said, “In that case, when Young Master Dali had awakened, please let him know that we had already come here, and that will do. Today’s an important day, I won’t impose on everyone anymore, then.”

“Thank you, Sir.” Hong Tu smiled and said, “In the future when you have time, please come here often and be my guest.”

“Heh heh, Old Elder is too kind, it’s part of our responsibility too. It’s nothing.” After Mu Huishou had finished, he waved towards everyone and, while he was preparing to leave, a long yawn came from the corner of the conference room. “Ah, I had such a good sleep!”

Yet, it turned out to be Hong Dali who had to awaken at this time!

As he slowly crawled up, Hong Dali rubbed his eyes and wiped off the saliva from the ends of his mouth, and, upon seeing everyone present, his face was full of curiosity. “Has the meeting still not ended?”

After he mumbled for a while, soon after, he lay down again. “Then let me sleep for a while again…”

Everyone was totally speechless.
