Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Chapter 555: Parents’ Love

“To have your name etched in history and remembered by all, you will need to… go up against the whole world!”

Hearing that, Hong Weiguo, who was usually composed, got a little worked up. His hands shook as he took his cigarette box from his pocket. He gave one to the Bureau Chief and took one for himself. It took him five or six tries before he managed to lit it.

Gaining the respect of tens of millions of people, Hong Weiguo had achieved that. Sangle, Heavenly State’s biggest search engine, was worth two billion. There were more than twenty thousand employees! Hong Weiguo was definitely one of the giants in the Heavenly State’s internet world!

Who hadn’t heard of Hong Weiguo?

But now, the Bureau Chief told him that Hong Weiguo was presented with a chance. If he succeeded, he could advance further, and leave his name in history! Who wouldn’t be moved hearing something like that?

Hong Weiguo was no saint. He had emotions and desires, too. He naturally hoped that people would remember him even after hundreds of years. That he could make a difference in human history.

Now, an opportunity was presented to him. Who wouldn’t be excited?

“Tell me about your plan.” He sucked hard on his cigarette and asked slowly, “I’m not that great. If I didn’t guess wrongly, Bureau Chief, you should be talking about my Dali, right?”

“Yes, that’s right.” The Bureau Chief nodded. In all honesty, their conversation might sound trivial, but it could possibly affect the development of Heavenly State—although their topic was just an unfeeling prodigal.

“Take over Qian Family, and hand it to Dali. That’s the first step,” The Bureau Chief said slowly. “It has been verified that the Qian Family colluded with the Toyoda Conglomerate. I’m sure you know how Toyoda Conglomerate is like. We originally intended to bring down the Qian Family during this Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting, but something happened—just one small move by Dali and the Qian Family went down…”

“This rascal.” Hong Weiguo was proud when he heard the Bureau Chief mention Hong Dali. “We didn’t dote on this little prodigal for nothing.”

“Haha, you have a good son. That’s really enviable.” The Bureau Chief laughed out loud. Both of them laughed, then the Bureau Chief continued, “Bring the Qian Family down and take them over. We will go along with what you do. You know the process better than me, you have already begun.

“After you take over the Qian Family, hand the energy company to Dali and let him do as he deems fit. We won’t interfere.” Speaking up to this point, the Bureau Chief said, “There’s no knowing how Dali will manage this, but I’m sure we will be able to see results from him.

“In this time and era, whoever controls energy will become the overlord of the world! Once new energy appears, Hong Dali will be remembered by everyone in the world! On the contrary, danger comes with it. For example, Merika, Jaban.

“Hence, we will have to face the danger. At this time, your safety will be particularly important.

“In order to handle such a situation, I made two preparations. Firstly, I’ve shipped Dali’s Granzon over. It’s currently parked in the hotel’s carpark. That will be your ride for the near future.” The Bureau Chief continued, “The other was to arrange a bodyguard for you.” The Bureau Chief clapped his hands. “Levis, come in. It’s time for you to appear.”

Soon, a tall and skinny Levis who was wearing sunglasses pushed open the door and walked in. Once he saw Hong Weiguo, he smiled. “Respected Mr. Hong, how are you? I’m Levis. It’s my honor to be your bodyguard. Please take care of me in the future.”

“Ah. Hello, hello.” Hong Weiguo stood up hurriedly to shake hands with him. Although he didn’t know how good he was, he should be not bad since he was brought here by the Bureau Chief.

The Bureau Chief looked at Hong Weiguo in his eyes and said, “Weiguo, according to reliable news, Jaban’s Toyoda Conglomerate, who colluded with Qian Guangzhou, has sent the leader of the Iga Ninjas, Hattori Jiro, to deal with you. Be careful!”

“Toyoda Conglomerate?” Hong Weiguo smiled. “It’s as expected. Our feud with them traces back to a hundred years. They’re stirring up trouble now?” Speaking up to this point, Hong Weiguo nodded. “Don’t worry. I know what to do.”

“Weiguo,” The Bureau Chief stood up and squeezed Hong Weiguo’s shoulders. “The world is about to undergo big changes. What you need to do now, is to take care of the basics so Dali doesn’t have to worry about them later on.”

“Bureau Chief, you trust my Dali so much…” Hong Weiguo was agitated. He never thought the country would value Hong Dali so much, the son that made him so proud.

“Your Dali is sure growing up fast.” The Bureau Chief nodded assertively. “From spending a few million to tens of millions, to hundreds of millions now. I’m sure he has his own secrets. I won’t interfere with that, and it’s best you don’t interfere as well. We’ll leave everything to him. Big Boss and I will be your backing. If he succeeds, that will be one big step for the human race. Even if he fails, we can afford to lose some money.

“That Resource Chamber of Commerce Meeting was already dispensable for Heavenly State. Big Boss wanted to cancel this meeting previously, but he changed his mind because of Hong Dali. That was why this year’s meeting was held. Let’s not talk about what happened in the meeting. In other words, think of a way to return to the Chamber of Commerce, unite everyone, and be Dali’s strongest backing.”

“Yes, I understand!” Hong Weiguo nodded decisively!

Rabbits do not eat the grass around their burrows 1. Being impeached from the Chamber of Commerce, Hong Weiguo was reluctant to return as per the Bureau Chief’s advice.

But, after speaking to the Bureau Chief, Hong Wei thought it through.

Heavenly State had always had a tradition. That was, everything depended on the next generation.

For the sake of Hong Dali, it was okay for him to feel wronged. What he needed to do now was to lay the groundwork for Hong Dali.

“Dali, you are fated to leave your name in history. What you need to do now is to squander as much as you want. Do whatever you like. As for the groundwork, as long as Dad is around, you don’t have to worry about anything!”

Often, the love of parents was as such.

One may not know nor understand. It cannot be seen nor can it be touched. But such love did exist.

For their children, they were willing to do anything.

A tribute to all parents in the world.

…

“Weiguo, what’s up?” Liu Yihui anxiously asked when he and Mu Tie stepped in. “Did something happen while we were acquiring Qian Group? I didn’t hear about it, everything seems to be going well.”

Mu Tie looked at Levis, who was standing beside Hong Weiguo. “Aye, who is this? New friend?” It was best if there were as little people as possible when they discussed things like that. Now that there was an unfamiliar face present, it was best to ask first.

“This is Mr. Levis, a bodyguard that the Bureau Chief arranged.” Hong Weiguo quickly introduced them. “These are CEO Liu Yihui and CEO Mu Tie. We are on the same side, they are trustworthy.”

“Hello, CEO Liu. Hello, CEO Mu.” Levis nodded.

“Personal bodyguard? Arranged by the Bureau Chief?” Liu Yihui sized up Levis. He then took out his checkbook and scribbled a few words. “Dali found him? All the people that Dali found are all highly competent. Take this cheque of ten million. Consider it as my sponsoring.” He handed the check to Levis.

Levis: “Thank you, CEO Liu, for the tip.” It was indeed advantageous to follow Young Master Dali. Even the people around him were generous…

“Haha, Old Liu. You’re quick.” Mu Tie wrote another check of ten million. “We need to take good care of Dali’s people.”

“Thank you, CEO Mu.” Although Levis appeared calm, he had just gotten twenty million from two people he just met—this was much easier than being an assassin. Even with a reward of 500 million, he only got tens of millions out of it. But there was much more risk involved.

“You sly foxes.” Hong Weiguo laughed out loud. “Don’t you dare to poach Dali’s people!”

“Haha, we’re so close, don’t talk about poaching.” They laughed together for a while. Then, Liu Yihui asked, “Weiguo, why are you looking for us so urgently? Don’t tell me something happened to the Qian Family.”

Their biggest action at the moment was Qian Guangzhou. Mu Tie and Liu Yifei naturally hoped nothing would go wrong.

“It’s not the Qian Family. It’s the Chamber of Commerce and Toyoda Conglomerate.” Hong Weiguo took a deep breath and sat down with the rest. Levis stood behind Hong Weiguo, fulfilling his role as his bodyguard. Hong Weiguo said, “Toyoda Conglomerate sent Hattori Jiro, the leader of the Iga Ninjas, to kill me. The Bureau Chief arranged for Mr. Levis to be my bodyguard. He has sent the policemen back. After all, with Hattori Jiro’s ability, there are bound to be a lot of casualties if ordinary policemen go against him. That’s why, Old Liu and Old Tie, it’s best to stay further away from me. I’m afraid Toyoda Conglomerate will harm you as well.”

“That Hattori Jiro is so powerful?” Liu Yihui said breathlessly, “Even the special forces can’t handle him?”

“Hattori Jiro has special abilities due to mutant genes,” Hong Weiguo said affirmatively. “Talking about Hattori Jiro, I can’t help but mention Zerg Queen Zhang Yi. This is the most detailed information I got. Take a look.”

Hong Weiguo took out a document from his pocket and handed it to Liu Yihui and Mu Tie.

Hearing Hong Weiguo’s solemn words, they quickly looked at the document. The more they read, the more their scalp tingled. When they finished reading, Liu Yihui exclaimed, “Zerg Queen Zhang Yi is a technological geek more dangerous than Lin Chuyin? She killed an entire mercenary group of more than 200 people? The initial version of her genetic modifications was stolen by Hattori Jiro?”
