NOVEL NEXT Chapter 870: 870
That evening at seven-thirty, Liu Zhizhong got into his fully equipped Big Lao RV and officially set off with Gan Ling and the twins, Da Xing and Xiao Xing, heading for Yunxi Province.
The Big Lao slowly drove towards the entrance of the Qian Family Mansion, and only then did Shi Jing and Xu Jiao wake up, standing at the gate to send off their beloved.
Qian Xuan sat in his electric wheelchair, slowly moving next to the Big Lao, making a show of sending off his sister.
Finally, Qian Xuan waved his hand vigorously. Liu Zhizhong nodded, smiled, and waved in return before driving out through the gate.
Xiao Xing sat in the comfortable front passenger seat, her beautiful face cold and unapproachable. Da Xing looked exactly the same as her; they were a pair of twin bodyguard sisters and identical twins at that. Their looks, figures, and skin were almost indistinguishable, making it somewhat challenging for Liu Zhizhong to tell them apart.
Now, Da Xing sat in the spacious backseat, keeping company with their mistress, Gan Ling. The curtains in the back were not drawn, allowing Gan Ling to look at the city's night lights. Her beautiful face was filled with curiosity, and even a sense of inexplicable excitement.
Liu Zhizhong occasionally glanced at her excitement through the rearview mirror, feeling a bit melancholic.
Ten years!
Just a few days short, a full ten years!
She had been living in a state of quasi-house arrest in the Qian Family Mansion, unable to step out of the door.
Finally emerging into the world, there was indeed so much in this city and in the world that was worth seeing for her.
After all, in ten years, the Provincial City had nearly doubled its development space, becoming even more prosperous and splendid. Ten years were sufficient for everything to change beyond recognition.
From the age of eighteen, her glorious youth had been thus confined, truly a tragedy for a noblewoman.
Liu Zhizhong could certainly imagine that in this seemingly peaceful world, the struggles for power and interests were still as brutal as ever, not something ordinary people could fathom.
Although he was not clear on the events of ten years ago, he had enough sense to understand. After all, guns were involved, lives were lost...
Thinking about it, sometimes this world is ludicrous and helpless.
Ordinary people bust their guts to break into the circle of wealth, eager to enjoy privileges that others can't even dream of.
Yet who could imagine that within the circles of wealth, there were still their own troubles and petty dramas?
The world is always changing, just like the times, there is no eternal supremacy, only thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.
The once powerful Gan Family, did they not fall? The family ruined, members scattered, and the calamity ensuing for generations...
Liu Zhizhong knew well that with the tide of the times, there would always be the fall of old noble families and the rise of new powerful ones. It's just a matter of probability.
But overall, after entering circles like the Southwest Conference, he understood that some fortunes, as long as not meddled with, were almost ironclad, inheritable, and one had no choice but to accept this truth.
As the saying goes, some are born in 'Rome,' while others in stables...
Bringing Gan Ling, heading southwest to the Provincial City, Liu Zhizhong still felt somewhat fortunate. Fortunate that the "noble circle" was truly messy, and Uncle Long could have a pair of illegitimate siblings, otherwise, Gan Ling and her brother would have been in an even worse situation. What important figure doesn't love their own flesh and blood? How few are the figures who fail because of their own flesh and blood?
Driving while letting his thoughts wander, thinking about these issues—after all, Xiao Xing remained silent, and Da Xing and Gan Ling in the back also didn't speak, leaving plenty of personal space for Liu Zhizhong. The Big Lao could even switch to auto-pilot.
He even started to grow curious about the background of his wife, Zhao Yan.
And what about himself? Father Liu raised him after finding him abandoned. Where were his biological parents, what was their situation?
Considering those years' circumstances, Liu Zhizhong could make all sorts of wild guesses about his own background, hehe...
