Rarely affectionate

Lang Bai stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows of Yuan Cheng's bedroom.

Looking from this angle, the entire Yuan family is lying at their feet, like a vicissitudes of life lion lying quietly.Lang Bai recalled how shocked and terrified he was when he walked into the gate of Yuan's house for the first time. The huge and empty grass, the tall and continuous villas, and the endless sky in front of him were all so majestic and majestic. He hardly dared to stand up.The weight of that memory has been weighing heavily on his heart, it is the huge pressure brought by the Yuan family's century-old authority.

However, when Lang Bai stood here today, he realized that the Yuan family was so small, small enough to condescend to take a panoramic view, small enough to quietly worship at his feet, small enough to make the fear in his memory disappear in an instant. The smoke cleared...

This is what it feels like to be on the top!

This dizzy feeling was so intoxicating that Lang Bai didn't make any movements for a long time, just stood there, staring at the distant sky through the huge glass window...

When Yuan Cheng opened the door and came in, he saw Lang Bai with his back facing him, and through the glass window he could see his profile reflected on it, with a bit of dazed emptiness in the silence.

Yuan Cheng was originally full of anger, but was overwhelmed by Lang Bai's unusual quietness, and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Lang Bai turned his head and said lightly: "It's nothing."

Yuan Cheng became angry again: "Is this how you talk to your father?"

"You are not my father," Lang Bai paused, "—you may not want to be my father either. If you had a choice, you would prefer to be Yuan Xiao's father."

If Yuan Xiao said such things, then he definitely didn't want to die.But this was said by Lang Bai, but Yuan Cheng smiled instead of anger, and asked, "Do you mean that Dad doesn't love you enough?"

"..."

Since the youngest son didn't know how to answer, Yuan Cheng didn't intend to make things difficult for him.He went to the window to take a look, originally thought that something happened outside that caused Lang Bai to stand here watching, who knew that the outside was empty, except for a large row of cars parked at the door and the servants cleaning the courtyard, nothing nor.

"What the hell are you looking at?"

"There's nothing." Lang Bai gently broke free from the shoulder that was being pressed by Yuan Cheng, "I'm looking at something that only I can see, and neither you nor elder brother can see."

"Ah?" Yuan Cheng was really surprised.

"Once people get used to something, they will unconsciously ignore it...you and big brother are like this. You will know when you lose it."

Lang Bai turned and walked out, before he took two steps, Yuan Cheng held him down: "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing."

From Yuan Cheng's angle, he could only see the back of his youngest son, his slender neck and a small piece of thin skin behind his ears, which was almost transparent in white, showing light blue blood vessels.This child has indeed grown up. It seems that he still remembers the days when he played ball in the courtyard in small clothes and trousers. In a blink of an eye, he has grown so tall, lonely and thin, and completely lost the outline of his childhood.

It was still a very beautiful face, but it completely lost the tenderness and weakness of childhood, and the facial features suddenly became clear, so delicate and profound, it even gave people a beautiful and fierce feeling.

Yuan Cheng has never realized so clearly that his son has grown up.

He once wondered why his youngest son was so out of tune with the underworld world, so quiet and elegant, like a young son brought up by a real aristocratic family, he played the piano, devoted himself to calligraphy and painting, and never touched his fingers.He even worried about whether such a child who is completely ignorant of the world and not interested in fireworks will suffer in this cruel dark world if he leaves his protection in the future.

But Yuan Cheng never expected that only his youngest son had blood that truly belonged to the underworld.

No one is colder and colder than him, no one is more ruthless than him, no one is better at playing tricks and people's hearts than him.

Some people are naturally easy to see the bright side of human nature, optimistic and enthusiastic, and think of everyone as good; some people think objectively and neutrally, and see things in two, neither too credulous nor too pessimistic.However, Lang Bai, he is born to be good at seeing the dark side of human nature, and he is also very good at guiding, using other people's weakness and greed to achieve himself.

It's really his inborn, self-taught.

"What exactly do you want to see?" They were so close to each other, Yuan Cheng's deep voice almost stuck to Lang Bai's ears, "After all these years, what exactly do you want?"

"What do I want..." Lang Bai repeated in a low voice, with a hint of a slight sneer, "I want Yuan's family—father, will you give it?"

Yuan Cheng was silent for a moment.

"I want everyone to submit to me, respect me, obey me, even fear me, carry out my thoughts and will, so that no one in this underworld world can ignore me... Dad, you can do it for me Is this?"

Yuan Cheng seemed to want to say something, but Lang Bai interrupted him before he could say anything: "Don't say yes in a hurry, and don't send me away with empty promises. Don't tell me that Dad will protect you." Kind of a lie—I've long since stopped believing that."

Yuan Cheng's eyebrows twitched: "Ah Bai, do you hate me that much?"

Lang Bai was silent for a while, and did not answer this question, but shook his head and said: "You should know, even if I want it, what I want is not some kind of protection... I would rather you stand on the opposite side of me and let me be real. The gun fights to the end. If you win, you will take away all the glory and power of the Yuan family. If you lose, you can lose so that you are willing to die. What I want has never been neutral and ambiguous protection... I am not that cowardly. "

He never said such a thing, and Yuan Cheng never thought that the youngest son's thin and sickly body hides such extreme fierceness, and even the end of death is "that's all"!

Yuan Cheng was really stunned for a moment.

"If you are on the side of big brother, don't say anything about protecting me. I don't need it. If you are on my side..." Lang Bai paused, and suddenly gave up: "—forget it, look You don't intend to do that."

Yuan Cheng really wanted to defend himself, but suddenly found that he couldn't speak, "I'm on your brother's side? You..."

"I just want to win completely or fail completely, and I don't need to live under your so-called protection." Lang Bai didn't even look at his father, his voice was cold and calm: "——just like father when you came to power Just like those blood relatives who were slaughtered, I think they would rather fight to the end than live at your mercy."

——These words were so cruel that Yuan Cheng's expression changed a bit.

Lang Bai never looked back at him, and walked out of the room.

It was almost noon at this time, and in a few hours, the birthday dinner was about to begin.

This time is the most chaotic, the gates of the Yuan's Cave are opened, and all the guests slowly enter. Some distinguished guests from the mainland or abroad have already been arranged to stay at the Yuan's house, and all the entourages and bodyguards of each family are mixed together. The Yuan family met a stranger.

Lang Bai didn't take the main road, but walked towards his courtyard along the garden path, only hearing the faint voices of vehicles and people from a distance.

Suddenly, a man dressed as an ordinary cleaner hurried up to meet him, followed Lang Bai a few steps, and said in a low voice, "Everything is ready."

"Is Rossthorne ready too?"

"Yes, the frogman team has also been arranged properly, and even the medical personnel are on standby at any time."

Lang Bai nodded and walked forward without stopping.The man followed behind him step by step, and couldn't help asking: "Mr. Rose Thorne said, if Mr. Bai needs help with anything else, you can just feel free..."

"No need." Lang Bai said lightly.

The man lowered his head: "Yes. If there is no other order, I will go first."

Lang Bai paused, and suddenly said in a low voice: "—Wait a minute. Our family is responsible for the transfer of guards. There is a man named Liu Yujing. Have you met this man before? Call me here, and I will see you right away. to him."

The man was startled: "Isn't he the young master's confidant? What do you want to see him for?"

"He has a clue in my hands-in short, don't worry about it, call him over, I have something to tell him."

"...Yes." The man lowered his head, and hurried away as silently as when he came.

The sun rose to the middle of the sky at noon, but thick clouds began to appear in the sky, slowly covering the sun.

Lang Bai raised his head, and saw that the clouds in the distance were gradually gathering, showing a gloomy color.

"Sure enough, it will rain tonight..." Lang Bai murmured, covering his eyes.

In the afternoon, Yuan Xiao felt his eyelids were twitching and he was full of anger, but he couldn't vent his anger.

He told his father that he went out to receive some distinguished guests, but in fact he went to Wang Jiadong, and he secretly led someone into the hospital, planning to bring his confidants to replace Qi Xiaguo from the operating table.

After all, he was a subordinate who grew up with him, and was specially sent by the grandfather's family to take care of him. After all these years, there is no credit but hard work.If he couldn't even keep Qi Xia, who would listen to him in the Yuan family?

Even if he really replaces Lang Bai as the head in the future, no one will take him seriously as the legitimate son!

Qi Xiaguo's injury was not very serious, but because of Yuan Cheng's orders, the doctors didn't dare to deal with him more, so they could only put him in the ICU and wait for him to cool down naturally.Yuan Zhui led people to surround the hospital first, then shut the mouths of the few doctors who knew about it into the confinement room, and then directly asked a few people to transport Qi Xiaguo out of the ICU, and Yuan Zhui drove him to the pier himself. run.

In order to appease his youngest son, Yuan Cheng was obviously ready to sacrifice Qi Xia.He must not stay in Hong Kong. Yuan Xiao spent his vacation in Taiwan in his early years and had some influence in Taipei. He planned to send Qi Xiaguo to Taipei to avoid the limelight.

The boat was already ready at the pier, but the traffic jam on the road delayed it for a while. Yuan Xiao was so angry that he finally rushed to the pier, and immediately yelled at his subordinates to transport Qi Xiaguo onto the boat.

Who knew that none of the men he had arranged to meet them at the pier early in the morning could be seen. Under the cloudy sky, there was only an empty sea area, and there was a boat parked under the pier, which was not the one Yuan Xiao had arranged.

Yuan Xiao suddenly felt something was wrong, but it was too late.

Suddenly a soft voice came from behind: "—Brother, I haven't seen you for a long time, are you all right?"

Yuan Xiao suddenly turned around: "Lang Bai?!"

I saw Lang Bai standing on the pier behind him, looking down condescendingly.He was wearing a light-colored shirt, and his coat was casually draped over his shoulders. His hair and the corners of his clothes were flying in the fierce wind.

Yuan Xiao suddenly felt something was wrong, and Lang Bai looked at him with kind and gentle eyes, but it made people feel chills involuntarily.

"——You, why are you here?" Yuan Xiao was a little confused: "What are you doing here?!"

"Come to see big brother for the last time." Lang Bai said softly with a slight smile.
