Chapter 1763: Chapter 1763: Such Unexpected Events

(Chapter 1)

After giving instructions on this most important matter, Li Haiyang reminded again, “This time Dragon Rise is acting with you, and the true purpose is far more complex than you think. Dragon Rise can never act for the private interest of one person; it is a national weapon, always fighting for the country. However, this time, it just happens to be mixed with your matter. I can’t tell you the specifics, but I can say that because of your cooperation, we’ve achieved very nice results. At least, after Sankou Group’s reformation, we can partially control them.”

This statement greatly shocked Luo Ziling.

It seems that this operation involved not only Dragon Rise people, but also others on a secret frontline.

While heavily damaging the Sankou Group, some people were also planted, obtaining certain positions when Sankou Group rebuilt. By then, this notorious underground force could possibly be used by Huaxia.

Don’t underestimate this underground force, if it can be controlled, the benefits it can bring to Huaxia are immense.

Many inconvenient things can be done using this force.

“Don’t think too much about it,” Li Haiyang chuckled seeing Luo Ziling looking thoughtful, “You don’t need to know these things now, and things are surely more complicated than you think, all those involved in the operation aren’t clear about the final purpose. Phoenix doesn’t know, the heads of other departments don’t know either; they are just doing their duties.”

“I understand,” Luo Ziling smiled, not probing further.

Li Haiyang changed the topic again and asked Luo Ziling about accepting disciples.

Luo Ziling didn’t hide and spoke truthfully.

“How about we send two people here to learn with them too?” Li Haiyang’s expression turned serious, “Phoenix suspects that Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan coming to learn from you have special purposes. The Ishihara Family has always cooperated with the Japanese intelligence department, Ishihara Wuji is an official in Japan’s intelligence department with multiple identities, his son can’t be so simple. Xu Zhiyuan also isn’t simply here to learn, he must be coveting something from you or others.”

“No problem,” Luo Ziling understood Li Haiyang’s intention.

Dragon Rise sending two people to his side was partly for learning, but more importantly, to monitor Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan.

Luo Ziling himself couldn’t continuously supervise them, and the other four people didn’t have the ability to monitor them.

If there are people from Dragon Rise with them, monitoring Ishihara Naka and Xu Zhiyuan should be no problem.

After agreeing, Luo Ziling asked Li Haiyang, “Who do you plan to send, is Lin Lan one of them?”

Li Haiyang shook his head, “She already made an appearance with you, if she appears again, it will definitely make others suspicious of her identity. So, the people sent to you will be unfamiliar faces. By then, Phoenix will personally choose good people, you just need to accept them.”

“Alright!” Luo Ziling nodded.

“Now, your grandfather’s attitude towards you has changed quite a lot, which is a good thing. The Yang Family’s attitude towards you has also changed a lot, which is even better.” Li Haiyang seemed like someone who hasn’t spoken for a long time, once started he couldn’t stop, “You should use all opportunities to change the current situation. You’re planning to establish your own powerhouse, aren’t you? If you have such thoughts, then many times you can’t act on impulse.”

“Thank you for the guidance, senior,” Luo Ziling said gratefully, “Thank you very much for your help over such a long time, even my father hasn’t been as attentive as you.”

Li Haiyang smiled, then quickly withdrew his smile, sighed softly, and said, “My son… actually, his age was similar to yours, when I see you, I think of my own son.”

Hearing Li Haiyang speak like this, Luo Ziling’s heart sank with a sense of unease.

After thinking a bit, he couldn’t help but ask, “Senior, where is your son now?”

“He sacrificed his life right at twenty-two years old,” Li Haiyang stood up and walked to the window, standing with his back to Luo Ziling, “It’s been five years already, but back then, he was around your age. Same personality, same determination.”

For Li Haiyang to speak so about his son, Luo Ziling felt a twinge in his nose, nearly tearing up.

He hadn’t expected Li Haiyang’s son had already sacrificed.

Luo Ziling could imagine how sad Li Haiyang must have felt upon learning of his son’s sacrifice.

He felt very embarrassed, knowing that if he hadn’t asked, Li Haiyang wouldn’t have mentioned this matter.

He apologized deeply now, “Senior, I’m really sorry, I didn’t know your son has already…”

“It’s been so many years now, if life truly cycles, he would be five years old by now,” Li Haiyang chuckled, “He was also a member of Dragon Rise, and sacrificed to cover his comrades while carrying out a mission.”

“Senior…” Luo Ziling didn’t know how to comfort Li Haiyang.

Within Dragon Rise, no one spoke of Li Haiyang’s son’s matters; maybe they were mindful, or maybe they didn’t know.

Luo Ziling leaned towards the latter; Li Haiyang’s son joined Dragon Rise while others didn’t know their father-son relationship, otherwise Phoenix or Lin Lan would surely have told him. Instantly, he felt more respect for Li Haiyang.

Li Haiyang turned to look at Luo Ziling, “You are very much like him in personality, seeing you reminds me of him.”

“Senior, just think of me as your son,” Luo Ziling said sincerely, “As long as you’re willing, I will fulfill a son’s duties.”

Li Haiyang laughed happily, “There’s no need, your thoughtfulness makes me very happy already.”

Luo Ziling hesitated a moment and couldn’t help asking again, “Since Mr. Li’s sacrifice, have you ever thought of having another child?”

“We’re too old now, it’s impossible to have children anymore. Especially her mother, she collapsed upon hearing the news.”

Thinking of Li Haiyang’s age and calculating his wife’s age, Luo Ziling ultimately swallowed his words, not making any suggestions.

Li Haiyang said nothing more, sitting back at his desk sipping tea.

After a period of silence, Luo Ziling finally voiced another thought, “Senior, in the future when I have children, I’ll call you grandfather, and consider them your grandchildren. I’ll always be your health doctor and make you a longevity star.”

“You are considerate,” Li Haiyang chuckled, “From the first time I saw you, I felt you were good, and I haven’t been wrong. However, your family won’t accept Lin Lan, otherwise I would really hope you could marry her. I always view her as a daughter, and Phoenix too, I treat her as a daughter.”

Luo Ziling felt a bit awkward, momentarily not knowing what to say.

At this moment, a knock sounded, and Li Haiyang asked Luo Ziling to open the door.

Opening the door, Luo Ziling was surprised to see Phoenix and Lin Lan standing at the doorway.
