The plane passed through the clouds and arrived at the Beijing Airport on time after more than two hours of flight.

Just like when they arrived, the four of them walked through the VIP aisle.

At the gate, there was an extended red flag car parked with military license plates, and a tall middle-aged man strode forward with a smile on his face.

Gu Hongyan recognized him at a glance, greeted the man and asked, "Ding Yuan, why are you here alone? Where are the rest of the family?"

The man named Ding Yuan said: "Mr. Gu and his family are waiting at home. I will send someone to pick you up."

Gu Hongyan's face suddenly became gloomy and ugly, and he muttered: "You don't take us seriously. I am also the daughter of the Gu family after all, so you sent a guard captain to pick us up. You are too disrespectful."

Li Yuanlang understood clearly that this Ding was originally the guard captain of the old man of the Gu family. He couldn't blame Gu Hongyan for being angry. Why did the Gu family have to send someone here, even if he was a junior? It was indeed a bit too much.

As soon as Gu Hongyan's words came out, Ding Yuan was very embarrassed. It was Shui Qingzhang who smoothed things over and persuaded Gu Hongyan: "Forget it, it doesn't matter who comes to pick him up. Don't keep the old man and the others waiting. It's important to get on the road."

Shui Qingzhang introduced Li Yuanlang to Ding Yuan again. Ding Yuan must have known Li Yuanlang's name. When they met for the first time, he couldn't help but take a few more looks and said politely: "Comrade Li is a very talented person. Miss Yue is really lucky."

Li Yuanlang responded humbly: "Captain Ding is equally tall and handsome. You are the handsome man."

"Haha, Comrade Li is so complimentary. Compared with you, I'm far behind. You don't know something, but Miss Yue in our family has a very high vision. She didn't even look at how many outstanding men Mr. Gu introduced to her.

"Comrade Li is still charming and can capture the heart of our eldest lady."

Gu Hongyan interrupted impatiently: "Stop using these sour words and get in the car quickly. I'm hungry and want to eat at home."

So everyone got into the Hongqi car one after another. Ding Yuan sat in the passenger seat, and the four of them sat in the back seat.

The extended part of this Hongqi car is all used in the back row. Entering the back row is like entering a five-star hotel room, with high-end and elegant decoration. It is equipped with satellite phone, bar, TV, computer, refrigerator, and fax machine, just like a

Small room.

Li Yuanlang really broadened his horizons. Is there such a car in reality? If it can accommodate a bed, wouldn't it be a RV? It is simply an RV among cars.

He didn't look like a mountain man who had never seen the world like Grandma Liu did when she entered the Grand View Garden. Instead, he sat calmly on a chair and observed silently. Obviously Shui Qingzhang's family was used to it.

, didn’t show any surprise, probably he had been sitting there for a long time before.

As soon as she got in the car, Gu Hongyan couldn't stop mumbling. The central issue was still being upset about her mother's family not coming to pick her up. Shui Qingzhang got tired of hearing this and glared at her. He couldn't hold it in anymore and said: "

If you don't come to pick him up, don't come to pick him up. It's nothing less. I'm warning you, when I see your old man later, don't tell him these nonsense, and don't bring out your emotions. It will really piss him off.

You will regret it for the rest of your life."

"I need you to remind me that I have my own sense of proportion." Gu Hongyan rolled her eyes at her husband unconvinced, opened the curtain and looked outside the car, and finally stopped talking.

Shui Tingyue was tired, so she took Li Yuanlang's arm, tilted her head and leaned tightly on his shoulder, closing her eyes.

This was Li Yuanlang's first visit to the capital. Looking out the car window at the constant flow of traffic and the towering skyscrapers, he felt the strong modern atmosphere.

After all, at the foot of the emperor, the provincial capital Yunyang was prosperous enough, but compared with the capital, it was nothing compared to the capital. There was no comparison at all.

The long red flag was driving all the way, constantly changing lanes and driving in an S-shaped route in the traffic, taking advantage of every opportunity. Even if there was a traffic jam, I could always shorten the time on the road as much as possible, but after walking for more than an hour, I still had no intention of stopping.

Li Yuanlang was curious, where did Mr. Gu live? Based on his status and identity, did he live in a compound or a small single-family house?

Li Yuanlang really guessed it right. The Hongqi car got off the viaduct, passed through many traffic lights, and turned left and right on the street, which made people dizzy and finally slowed down.

Li Yuanlang looked out of the car window and saw an area of ​​bungalows in front of him. The green bricks and gray tiles, the high courtyard walls, and the inside could not be seen, giving people a solemn and mysterious feeling.

The Hongqi car finally stopped. A soldier in uniform negotiated a few words with Ding Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat, checked his ID, and walked over to look at the four members of Shui Qingzhang's family in the rear seat, observing them carefully.

After a few glances, he waved his white gloves and let him go.

When the car passed through, Li Yuanlang saw that there were sentries and sentries guarding the entrance of the alley. There were also artificial roadblocks. Four fully armed soldiers held their guns on the ground with their right hands and raised their left arms in unison, placing them flat on their chests.

As the car passed by, the group performed a gun salute.

This wasn't the end yet. The Hongqi car moved forward, passed strict inspections by two sentries, and finally stopped at a red-painted gate.

& nb bsp; Ding Yuan took the lead, and opened the door door and said, "It's home, please get out of the car."

The four people came down one by one. Gu Hongyan walked in the front, followed by Shui Qingzhang, while Shui Tingyue still held on to Li Yuanlang's arm tightly and wouldn't let go for a moment.

Shui Tingyue was suffering from airsickness and was listless. She didn't talk much along the way. Fortunately, Li Yuanlang was by her side and became her pillar of support. It was reasonable for her to always pester Li Yuanlang.

There were no soldiers guarding the gate. A group of five people, led by Ding Yuan, knocked on the red door. A dry and thin old man in his fifties opened the door. Gu Hongyanshui Qingzhang and his wife nodded and greeted the old man.

Then we passed through a large courtyard, then passed through a small corner gate, and then entered another large courtyard. Went out through the side door, and finally entered a large courtyard.

Good guy, if there wasn't someone to lead the way, he would have to go through the Mongolian circle. For the first time, Li Yuanlang experienced what a deep house compound is.

Along the way, I occasionally met a few people dressed as soldiers and nannies. Everyone unanimously bowed to express New Year greetings to Gu Hongyanshui Qingzhang and his wife, and bowed to let them pass first.

The courtyard that we entered last had side rooms on the east and west sides, and a middle-aged man was standing at the door of the main room on the north and south, looking at the four Shui family members at the foot of the steps with a smile.

This person is none other than Gu Zhenggang.

"You are finally here. The old man has been waiting impatiently. Come in quickly." Gu Zhenggang stood aside and stretched out his hand to signal the four of them to enter the room.

"Second brother, we came all the way here, and none of you went to the airport to greet us. What do you mean?" Gu Hongyan mentioned the old words again, with displeasure written on his face.

"I guess you have to find fault with me. I'll tell you clearly, but the old man won't let me do it."

Gu Hongyan was stunned: "Our dad won't let you? Why?"

"You should ask the old man, I don't know either." As Gu Zhenggang spoke, he shook hands with Shui Qingzhang and Li Yuanlang respectively, and then walked into the room with everyone.

The main house is very large and spacious inside, and is divided into three rooms. The middle is the living room, and the rooms on both sides should be bedrooms. Since I haven't gone in, it's hard to guess.

There was no one in the living room, so Gu Zhenggang called Gu Hongyan aside to whisper a few words. Gu Hongyan looked shocked, but quickly regained his composure, and looked at Li Yuanlang specifically.

Later, Gu Hongyan said to Shui Qingzhang and Shui Tingyue: "Let's go to that room and stay for a while. Your uncle, cousin, and cousin are all waiting for us." The room Gu Hongyan mentioned was the room on the left.

Gu Zhenggang pointed at the door on the right side of Li Yuan Long and said mysteriously: "Yuen Long, go to the old man's room, he wants to see you alone."

Shui Qingzhang frowned slightly when he heard this. He seemed to have guessed Mr. Gu's intention of summoning Li Yuanlang alone, and couldn't help but sweat for him.

His father-in-law, Lao Taishan, has an eccentric personality. It was very difficult for him to cross the threshold of Lao Taishan when he was able to marry Gu Hongyan. It was only because of his enthusiasm and eloquent talk that he was recognized by Mr. Gu.

Unexpectedly, today, it would be his son-in-law's turn again, but he didn't know whether Li Yuanlang could pass this test.

Shui Tingyue responded unhappily: "Mom, I want to be with Yuen Long, and we will go to see grandpa together."

"Obey, Xiaoyue, I didn't hear what my second uncle said. Your grandpa wants to see Li Yuanlang alone. Come on, let's go to that room." Gu Hongyan came over and grabbed her daughter's arm.

Li Yuanlang also persuaded Shui Tingyue, "Go ahead, I'm fine." He also gave Shui Tingyue a relaxed look.

"You have to be careful. My grandpa is difficult to deal with. Don't talk back to him and make him angry." Shui Tingyue looked worried, and she turned around and was pulled into the room by her mother.

When everyone else walked into the room on the left, Li Yuanlang was the only one left in the living room. He let out a sigh of relief. To be honest, he was more nervous than anyone else. This old man, who was once a powerful figure, could see him with his own eyes and

Talking to him is both an honor and a challenge.

He straightened his clothes, walked calmly to the door of the right room, raised his hand and knocked the door gently.

After ringing for a few times, an old man's voice like a bell was heard inside: "Come in."

The door hinge creaked, and Li Yuanlang pushed the door open and saw that it was forty or fifty square meters in size and antique. The air was filled with a pleasant floral fragrance. It was definitely not a pungent perfume, but it was refreshing.

Very comfortable to wear.

On the couch facing the door, sat an old man with white hair and beard, with a rosy face and stern eyes. He was wearing a military uniform without shoulder tags, his hair was slicked back, and he was sitting on the chair, staring at Li Yuanlang with a serious expression.

.

From the moment he walked into this room, Li Yuanlang felt the strong aura around the old man, without being angry or intimidating. As long as he stood in front of him, no matter who he was, he would naturally be unable to let go, and even his breathing would stop.
