Reborn as Zhao Ruilong of Handong, I will defy fate.

Zhao Ruilong was overjoyed.

Once the brother-in-law confirms, a warning will be issued to drive away the US reconnaissance aircraft from close-range escort.

So his fighter jet won't be hit on April 1st this year.

Regardless of whether he becomes a general in the future.

At least the eldest sister won't be a widow, and the nephew won't be without a father.

I have completed another system task and can receive a reward.

"Great, great, that's wonderful, I..."

"What's so good about it?"

Zhao Runan suddenly shoved a black jar into Zhao Ruilong's hand.

"Don't call me stingy!"

"I brought you a gift."

Zhao Ruilong quickly tucked the black jar under his arm and asked with a smile, "What's inside?"

"A secret poison!"

"I'll poison you, you heartless little bastard!"

Zhao Runan glared at her fiercely before turning back to continue packing her things.

Yu Xinwang, inside the restroom, turned his head and smiled:

"Your sister is just joking with you!"

"She heard that you use the computer frequently these days and spend long hours in front of the screen."

"So I specially asked an old military doctor to prepare a health drink for you."

"All kinds of Chinese medicines have been mixed and ground into powder according to the proportions, and put into small bags in jars."

"Just like brewing tea, you take one packet every day, brew it with boiling water, and drink it. It will nourish your liver, improve your eyesight, strengthen your spleen, and benefit your kidneys."

Before Zhao Ruilong could say anything, Zhao Runan interjected:

"Why bother telling him that? Just tell him it can nourish the kidneys, and he'll consciously drink it every day!"

"Who said that?"

Zhao Ruilong raised his head, turned around, and said confidently:

"I'm not bragging, but my kidneys are definitely among the best in the country, I don't need any supplements at all!"

"Really? Are you that good? Then with so many beautiful lovers at the Huilong Hotel in Luzhou, how come you didn't get any of them pregnant?"

Zhao Runan, who is straightforward, asked this question with a smile.

Zhao Ruilong was immediately stunned.

It was obvious that his second sister hadn't hidden his romantic escapades at all!

She must have also told her older sister about having two exceptionally beautiful sisters.

Seeing her younger brother stunned, Zhao Runan immediately walked forward triumphantly.

"Haha, speechless now?"

"You little brat! I've finally found your weakness!"

"You said your future wife and future mother-in-law are coming to your house for dinner tonight."

"I talked to them about the Huilong Hotel in Luzhou, and about Gao Xiaoqin and Gao Xiaofeng..."

Before Zhao Runan could finish her threatening words, Zhao Ruilong sneered.

"It's okay, say whatever you want."

“I told Lu Yike a long time ago that I’m not a good person.”

"She never told me that she liked me or wanted to be with me."

"what???"

This time, it was Zhao Runan's turn to be surprised.

"No...no way? I heard from the second brother that you two have booked a hotel room together, and you've even stayed at her house two or three times."

"In addition, you not only met her parents, but you also went to Yanjing with her father, General Lu Changsheng, and you even helped him write some kind of proposal."

"So you two...you two haven't officially started dating yet? You're not kidding me, are you? What are you laughing at? I'm serious!"

Zhao Ruilong's smile vanished.

"Okay, I admit it, we haven't officially started dating yet!"

"If it's not confirmed, why are you inviting them over for dinner?"

Zhao Runan glared at her, looking very dissatisfied.

"Including last night's late-night snack, I've eaten at her house three times now. I should treat her to something in return, right?"

Hearing her brother's question, Zhao Runan was a little confused.

She thought she had been quite unrestrained in her relationships back then.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yike and Zhao Ruilong were even more unrestrained.

The relationship hasn't even been officially established yet, but it's already happened countless times.

Even though they don't plan to spend their lives together, they can still visit each other's homes.

Be nice!

Has the mindset of young people changed drastically in the 21st century?

"So you mean you two are currently in a state of ambiguity?"

"Most of the time we're busy with our own things, and we only meet up occasionally. Neither of us has confessed our feelings."

Zhao Ruilong nodded emphatically.

"That's right, she's not sure if she really likes me or wants to marry me."

"I'm not sure whether I should marry her and spend my life with her."

Zhao Runan chuckled awkwardly.

"You have an ambiguous relationship with her, and at the same time you're getting all hot and bothered with girls from Luzhou... You're a fucking womanizer!"

"There's nothing I can do. Too many people love me, and I'm not sure which one I like, so I just accept them all."

"What bullshit about accepting all comers? You scumbag! Get out! Get out of here right now!"

Zhao Ruinan hadn't yet pushed her younger brother out of the room.

Then his son, Yu Xiaobo, came running happily.

"Uncle, Uncle, come play with me!"

"Okay!"

Zhao Ruilong handed the jar to his second sister.

"Let's go find our little sister! The plane's taking off! Voo woo woo~"

Zhao Runan put her hands on her hips and frowned as she looked at Zhao Xiaohui.

“When he was little, you all treated him like a treasure and spoiled him rotten.”

"He's almost thirty years old now, and you're still spoiling him!"

"If he continues to be spoiled like this, I think he'll become a playboy sooner or later."

"I won't have a wife who will be married through proper channels in the future, but I'll have a whole bunch of girlfriends of all kinds!"

Zhao Xiaohui smiled faintly, seemingly unconcerned.

"It's alright, big sister."

"As long as it's not illegal, just let him do it!"

"It was a mutual decision, neither of you forced anyone, so why are you getting angry?"

"Besides, given his status and our family background, how many girls do you think are truly sincere?"

With that, Zhao Xiaohui closed the door.

He pulled his older sister to sit down on the edge of the bed.

"Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about Lu Yike."

“My mother is a judge, my father is a general, and I work in the anti-corruption bureau.”

"Do you dare say that she likes Ruilong one hundred percent, and not because our dad is Zhao Lichun?"

"Or think about it this way: if we were an ordinary family, Ruilong would have just done a good deed and saved her."

"Do you think she would go to a hotel to repay Ruilong or dump Liang Wei out of spite after their second meeting?"

Zhao Runan bit her lip lightly.

After thinking for a while, he asked in a low voice:

"You mean, there might be ulterior motives behind her relationship with Ruilong?"

Zhao Xiaohui shrugged.

"It's hard to say! You can't see into someone's heart!"

"Besides, these days, people will use any trick or scheme to get promoted and make money."

"It's possible that she has feelings for Ruilong, but it's also possible that she simply wants to climb the social ladder."

"But no matter what, their relationship is only beneficial to both of our families."

"So Dad and I both agreed to let things take their natural course, which means we shouldn't rush, interfere, or affect them!"

Zhao Runan rolled her eyes.

"Doesn't that mean he can do whatever he wants?"

Zhao Xiaohui chuckled and asked in return:

"Don't you think it's good enough as long as he doesn't cause trouble?"

"Do you want him to end up like Liang Wei, engaging in power-for-money transactions that not only landed him in jail but also ruined his father's reputation in his later years?"

Zhao Runan shook her head decisively.

"I'd rather he be a scumbag than get involved in corruption!"

"Our dad worked hard to get to where he is now, and there's still a great chance he can continue to advance in the future."

"If he dares to mess around for a few dirty bucks and prevents Dad from getting promoted, I'll kill him!"

Zhao Xiaohui laughed and said, "That's impossible. Huilong Group has no shortage of money!"

……

Outdoor living room.

Zhao Ruilong was with his nephew, playing with his little niece who was sitting in a walker.

Suddenly, a "ding" sounded in my mind.

[The system's fourth task has been released]

[Mission Title: Take any means necessary to prevent my brother-in-law, Liu Wenzhong, from being killed in the 9/11 terrorist attacks]

[Reason for the mission: In the original drama, when the terrorist attack occurred, the second brother-in-law was attending an event at the World Trade Center. His unfortunate death caused the Zhao family to lose its diplomatic connections, thus allowing the second brother-in-law to survive, which will greatly change his fate.]

[Task Reward: Upon completion of the task, all overseas investments and acquisitions within one year will receive a 50% subsidy from the system, and the task progress will be increased by 5%]

[Task deadline and penalty: None]

[Does the host accept/disagree?]

Saving the lives of my two brothers-in-law is to change the fate of the entire Zhao family.

Therefore, Zhao Ruilong accepted the offer without hesitation.

As for the system rewards for this mission...

It's neither advanced technology nor a remarkable skill.

But with the system's subsidies, it's like getting a 50% discount on all investments and acquisitions!

A mine that would normally cost 1 billion to buy, can be bought for only 500 million?

A tech company that would cost 10 billion to acquire, can be done for 5 billion?

Good guy!

Although it is limited to overseas investment and acquisition, the validity period is only one year.

But a year is enough for them to expand like crazy and make a fortune!

As for why the system suddenly issued the task...

It was obvious that my second brother-in-law had arrived.

really.

Ding dong ~ ding dong ~

The doorbell rings.

Before Zhao Ruilong could get up, his second sister, Zhao Xiaohui, suddenly rushed past.

Soon, the second sister's joyful screams came from the doorway.

"Second sister is definitely love-struck!"

"I make international calls almost every day, but I'm still so excited when we meet."

Zhao Ruilong had just finished muttering to himself when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

It turns out that not only did my second brother-in-law, Liu Wenzhong, arrive—a man of upright stature, refined demeanor, and the air of a diplomat.

He also brought his parents, who worked at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, from Yenching to Jingzhou to reunite for the New Year.

I originally thought that having two high-ranking diplomatic officials visiting my home was already a pleasant surprise.

Unexpectedly, my father called me at noon.

My second uncle, Zhao Lidong, works in Jinghai City, Linjiang.

There's also my third uncle, Zhao Ligen, who works in Luteng City, Zhongjiang.

Both families are on their way to Jingzhou.

In addition, there's Wu Xinyi and her daughter Lu Yike.

Tonight's Zhao family banquet is destined to be a lively and extraordinary event...
