Free Web NovelChapter 1878: Chapter 850: Returning as a Youth
"Tai Xing Manor"
The famous villa estate on the hillside of Fuhu Mountain in Xuzhou, with no other villas around, connected only by a wide, winding asphalt road, serving as the estate’s exit.
The owner of the estate, known to everyone in Xuzhou, is the residence of Xuzhou’s richest man, Guo Hu. Guo Hu sits at the helm of the Extraordinary Group, dominating for thirty years, ascending to the throne of Xuzhou’s richest, with rumors suggesting the Extraordinary Group was originally founded by three people. Yet, in these thirty years, only Guo Hu has "shown his face" to the public, while the other two founders remain unseen to this day. However, some super conglomerates know a bit of the secret, with rumors that among the founders of the Extraordinary Group, there is the shadow of the world-renowned ’Lin Tanyu’. This is why, although Guo Hu has made quite a few enemies in the business world over the years,
people dare not send assassins after Guo Hu, only daring to confront him openly in the business arena.
"Grandpa... come play with me..."
"Grandpa, I want to swing."
Inside the estate, a casually dressed middle-aged man watched two children, a boy and a girl, about four or five years old, adorable like porcelain dolls, with a happy smile.
Outside the estate, two luxury cars drove up one after the other, and a man and woman, lavishly dressed and exuding an air of nobility, got out and walked towards the middle-aged man.
"Uncle." A suave young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses, accompanied by a beautiful woman holding a two to three-year-old child who was hiding in his mother’s arms, greeted.
"Oh, Zhou Xun, you’re here." The middle-aged man looked at the young man with the gold-rimmed glasses.
"Nana, call him Grand Uncle." The young man with the gold-rimmed glasses said with a smile as he looked at the child in his wife’s arms.
The little girl buried her head in her mother’s arms, seemingly afraid of this imposing middle-aged man. Only after being persuaded by her mother did she turn her head and softly call, "Grand Uncle."
"Yes." The middle-aged man laughed particularly joyfully.
"Big Brother."
"Brother."
From the car that followed, another middle-aged couple got out. The woman was elegant and poised, while the man was calm and composed.
"Yanzi, Little Huai." The middle-aged man looked at the middle-aged couple and laughed with great pleasure, "Your sister is helping out in the kitchen. Hearing you would be back for this family gathering, she wanted to show off her cooking skills specially."
"Great, I love my sister-in-law’s cooking the most, I’ll go help her in the kitchen." Guo Yan said with a happy smile once getting the information, "Zhou Huai, you stay and chat with Brother."
"Alright, okay." The middle-aged man named Zhou Huai nodded continuously.
Zhou Huai took out a pack of cigarettes and offered one to Guo Hu, saying, "Big Brother, last night those foreign conglomerates eyeing us greedily all suddenly backed off and even left us with lots of advantages; it’s really strange."
Guo Hu took the cigarette, placed it between his lips, and Zhou Huai immediately stepped forward, taking out a limited-edition Zippo lighter and lighting it with a click for him.
Guo Hu took a puff of the cigarette, with a slight smile showing on the corners of his mouth, "I anticipated this long ago." "You anticipated this?" Zhou Huai said, stunned, "But those conglomerates have been unhappy with our overseas expansion for a long time, always opposing us, and they’ve been preparing for this stock market siege for a while now, I was ready for a tough battle, and they were willing to cut their losses?"
"Because my brother is back, and behind those conglomerates, there are some remarkable Martial Arts Sects with very reliable intelligence." Guo Hu said with a smile. Zhou Huai was unaware of the underlying story; having graduated from Harvard MBA and entering the business world, he met Guo Yan, who was also starting a business, and after a long acquaintance, naturally came together. Guo Yan once mentioned some things about Guo Hu’s mysterious brother to him, but only in passing, since Zhou Huai wasn’t much focused on the matters of the Martial Arts World.
Zoom!
In the sky, Lin Mo watched the scene inside the estate, smiled, and directly flew down, resembling an immortal descending to earth, landing lightly in the courtyard.
"It’s an immortal..."
"Grandpa, there’s an immortal..." The two children playing excitedly shouted upon seeing the figure descending from the sky.
Zhou Huai turned around, stunned. He knew Martial Arts Masters could ride the wind and fly, but he had never seen one with such ethereal and transcendent grace, and the person in front looked only about twenty, too young!
Zoom! Zoom!
Two Martial Artists at the level of Great Grandmasters hidden inside the estate instantly emerged from the shadows, standing in front of Guo Hu warily, eyeing the boy who came from the sky like a formidable enemy.
"Stand down." Guo Hu said.
The two Great Grandmaster Martial Artists were bodyguards hired by him to protect him and his family in the dark.
Upon hearing the words from Guo Hu, the bodyguards stepped aside, still watching the young man in front with some uncertainty and suspicion.
"Xiao Mo." Guo Hu’s eyes turned red as he briskly walked toward Lin Mo with a mighty stride.
"Brother Hu."
Lin Mo looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, precisely the Guo Hu whom he hadn’t seen for thirty years.
"Could this be Lord Lin Tanyu?"
"It must be, I’ve seen him in videos." The two Great Grandmaster level bodyguards exchanged a look, showing shock in their eyes.
Not expecting to see the legendary ’Immortal Character’ in person.
Zhou Huai was at a loss, for in his eyes, his brother-in-law was a titan of the business world, covering the sky with one hand, mature and stable, never showing such an expression before.
"Sister, wife, it’s Xiao Mo here to see us." Guo Hu called towards the villa.
Soon, two vibrant women came out of the villa, one dressed in casual attire with a neat short haircut, capable and spirited.
"Brother Fan." Seeing Lin Mo, Guo Yan immediately ran over, her eyes red, welled up with tears, "Brother Fan, it’s been a long time since we saw you, and we’ve become middle-aged, married and had children, yet you still look as youthful as ever."
"I am a Cultivator, so my appearance hasn’t changed much." Lin Mo smiled, feeling a bit sentimental, as thirty years had quickly passed, and the friends from the past had all married and had children, filled with sighs and sentiments.
"Zhou Huai, my husband." Guo Yan drew Zhou Huai over, saying, "This is my son, Zhou Xun, and his wife, and my granddaughter; he’s the Mr. Lin I always mentioned to you."
The other young couple holding their daughter looked at Lin Mo in surprise as well.
"Brother Fan." Zhou Huai called out.
Although unsure about Lin Mo’s capabilities, Zhou Huai wasn’t stupid; the young man before him was a charming figure among immortals.
"Xiao Mo, this is my wife, Xiao Qian." Guo Hu looked at the other lady.
Xiao Qian, back when Lin Mo knew her, she was still selling cars at a 4S shop, and if it weren’t for Lin Mo buying a car, Xiao Qian might not have been able to assume the position of ’Xuzhou’s Richest Wife.’ How wonderful life is.
Xiao Qian smiled, "Had it not been for Mr. Lin buying a car, I wouldn’t have had the chance to meet Brother Hu. So, Mr. Lin is my benefactor."
"Sister-in-law, no need to be formal, just call me Xiao Mo." Lin Mo smiled.
Xiao Qian nodded, then called the two little ones over, squatting down to hold them. "Quickly, call Grandpa."
The two little ones looked at Lin Mo, confused but seeing someone just twenty years old. With their mother’s prompt, they obediently called out, "Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa."
"Good, obedient." Lin Mo nodded, flipping his palm to produce several pieces of glistening white jade in his hand, "These are gifts from Grandpa, also for Yanzi and the others."
"Thank you, Grandpa." "Thank you, Brother Xiao Mo."
