Chapter 126 Family Meeting
About an hour after Twelve Young Master and the others left, He Xin rushed to the ward, distraught. "Uncle Xin, thank you for coming back from so far away! I really don't know what to say! I'm fine now, truly fine." Liu Yi saw He Xin's eyes reddened with tears, and hurriedly got off the bed and went forward to greet him.
"I'm glad you're okay. I was scared when I heard you suddenly fainted. So I immediately put down what I was doing and rushed back without stopping. Seeing that you are safe and sound, I am relieved. Anan, let's go and let Huadi have a good rest." He Xin's arrival was like a storm, and his departure was just as hasty. The two elders, Guo Yingnan and He Xin, left the hospital. Although Liu Yi thought he was no longer in danger, both the elders and the doctor insisted that he stay in the hospital for at least a week for observation.
After He Xin and Guo Yingnan got into the car, He Xin said, "Anan, let's stay at your house tonight. Call the children of our two families for a meeting in the evening. Okay, that's what I was thinking." Guo Yingnan agreed.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the immediate family members of the Guo and He families gathered in the living room of Guo Yingnan's villa, while Guo Yingnan and He Xin were still discussing in the study upstairs.
"Anan, what do you think about Huadi's sudden fainting this time?" He Xin frowned and asked worriedly.
Guo Yingnan took a deep breath and said slowly, "Axin, you've been abroad the whole time, so you might not be familiar with the specific details. Let me tell you in detail what happened. Zhenting accompanied Huadi to see Long Jiajun, and they were having a pleasant chat, but at this moment, Huadi suddenly fainted without any warning. Then, in the chaos, Huadi held Long Jiajun's hand. There's a key point here, that is, since then, Huadi's condition has obviously improved a lot. Although the doctor diagnosed the condition as very serious and even required a large amount of blood transfusion, Huadi's vital signs have remained stable. In Huadi's own words, the moment he held Long Jiajun's hand, he knew he would be fine."
Guo Yingnan paused and continued, "There is another strange thing. At the same time that Huadi fainted, Xie Weihao also fainted at home. According to the time, Huadi woke up at the same time as Ah Hao. Ah Hao was alone at home, so no one found him fainting. He woke up on his own. After Huadi woke up, he immediately asked about the situation of several people who looked like you. Only he and Xie Weihao fainted inexplicably, Li Changjiang disappeared, and nothing happened to the others. Finally, we checked with the Twelve Young Master and got the news of Li Changjiang's death. According to the inference, the time of Li Changjiang's death was the same as the time when Huadi and the other two fainted. After finding Li Changjiang's body, Huadi and Xie Weihao shook Li Changjiang's hands at the same time, and then Changjiang came back to life."
After saying this, the two old men fell into deep thought, as if trying to recall the details of what happened. As time passed, the atmosphere around them became extremely solemn.
Finally, He Xin broke the silence. His voice was low and firm as he said, "This is indeed more like the day when we exchanged skills after shaking hands, but this time it saved lives. If I remember correctly, it was Huadi, Ah Hao, and Changjiang who exchanged skills after shaking hands that day. Now it seems that they not only exchanged skills, but also created a life chain. If one of them has a problem, the other two will also have problems, but as long as one can be rescued, the other two can survive. As for Long Jiajun, he should be the same person as us. This can explain why Huadi was able to obtain life energy and ensure the lives of the three of them after shaking Long Jiajun's hand."
"It's just as I thought. Now it seems Huadi has a big secret." Guo Yingnan picked up the water cup, took a big gulp, then put the cup down heavily and said in a serious tone.
He Xin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile. "Who doesn't have secrets? Everyone has their own stories and experiences. But now it seems that our attention to Hua Di needs to be increased to a higher level. If I'm not mistaken, I have also developed a life symbiosis with him. From another perspective, this may be a good thing. After all, he is young enough and has unlimited potential. As long as he is safe, I don't have to worry about my own safety."
Guo Yingnan frowned, looked at He Xin worriedly and said, "You're really optimistic! Don't you know the path that kid will take in the future? It's a road full of thorns and obstacles. If the Eagle Country guys and the Aguo devils get to know about it, they will definitely try their best to plot against him. Then all kinds of conspiracies and tricks will ensue."
He Xin was silent for a moment, then said with a firm look in his eyes, "Of course I know, but this is the path he chose, and it's the challenge he must face. Besides, haven't we been through this too? Whether it's for the country or for ourselves, haven't we encountered enough conspiracies and tricks? You've brushed shoulders with death several times. Are you getting more afraid of death as you get older?"
"Yeah, what is there to be afraid of? It's just that we are worried about the younger generations. Now the two of us have formed a balance with them. If something happens to us, I don't know if the younger generation can withstand it." Guo Yingnan sighed.
He Xin nodded. "Yes, but children and grandchildren have their own blessings. Huadi's plan is feasible. If he succeeds, then our descendants will have at least fifty years of good life. Huadi is a man of integrity and loyalty. He sees everything we do, and he will definitely help those children when he succeeds. So, the two of us shouldn't think about anything else now, but to ensure that Huadi's plan goes smoothly. Only in this way can we have the last laugh."
After hearing this, Guo Yingnan was silent for a moment, then said firmly, "Okay! Let's do it! For all these years, I have always been with you. Whether facing bullets and guns or dangerous places, we have made it through together. This time is no exception!"
He Xin stood up, patted Guo Yingnan on the shoulder, and said with a smile, "Then let's go down and announce it." After that, the two walked out of the room together, ready to tell their relatives about this important decision.
After Guo Yingnan and He Xin came downstairs, all the immediate family members of both families stood up. They all knew the two elders were brothers in life and death, so their descendants were familiar with them, but none of them had the same life-and-death relationship as Guo Yingnan and He Xin. They had already discussed it downstairs. Although they didn't know what the two elders were thinking, they knew it would have a profound impact on their future. Only Guo Zhenting looked at them thoughtfully, having almost guessed what his father would decide.
"Okay, everyone is here. You must have heard of the name Huadi recently. You must be curious why Axin and I are so optimistic about this young man. Don't be curious, your future all depends on this young man, so I will announce one thing now. Huadi will be the joint consultant of our two families, and his status is only second to Axin and me. In other words, if Huadi makes any decision in the future, you must listen to him." Guo Yingnan announced his and He Xin's decision directly.
After hearing the news, everyone present showed shocked expressions on their faces. They whispered to each other and discussed this sudden decision.
"Dad, why did you make this decision? I need a reason," He Xin's eldest daughter asked anxiously. She couldn't understand why her father made such a major decision and promoted a stranger to such a high position.
He Xin looked at his daughter, understanding her concerns. However, there were some things he didn't want his family to know too soon. So, he replied firmly, "The reason? You'll know later. Don't speculate now. He's not my illegitimate child. Even if he looked exactly like me when I was young, I can tell you clearly that he isn't."
He Xin's words caused a moment of silence, and everyone began to reassess the young man named Hua Di. Although they still harbored doubts, they dared not question He Xin's decision. After all, as the head of the family, He Xin possessed the authority and wisdom to make such a decision.
The Guo children remained relatively calm. Unlike He Xin, Guo Yingnan had clear rules and arrangements for the management of family affairs. He had publicly stated that only descendants from the first wife were eligible to inherit his business, while the other children were encouraged to pursue other fields and received financial support as compensation. While the other children might have been dissatisfied, it was undeniable that Guo Yingnan's approach was quite fair and reasonable. Therefore, even if they had complaints, they would find it difficult to express their opposition openly.
Furthermore, Guo Zhenting, Guo Yingnan's designated successor, had clearly grasped the situation. Since he had no objection, his siblings naturally didn't dare to challenge him. In contrast, He Xin's approach to his children was completely different. He nurtured them like a guinea pig, allowing them to grow and compete with each other, hoping to produce the strongest and most outstanding successor who would take over his business. This laissez-faire parenting style resulted in aggressive behavior in He Xin's children.
When He Xin's daughter tried to raise questions, He Xin successfully shut her up with just a few words.
He Xin stood up, his hands resting on the table. He looked at everyone with a serious expression. "I solemnly declare here that the decision Anan just announced was the result of our careful consideration. Whether you understand it or not, you must strictly abide by it. Some things require more than just seeing and hearing; we must also think with our heads. Are Anan and I foolish enough? Over all this time, which decisions have we made were wrong? Have we ever wronged you, our children? Have we ever failed to worry about you?" His voice was resounding, clear, and firm, as if every word carried a heavy weight. These words undoubtedly made his position clear to all his children—this decision was unquestionable and must be resolutely implemented.
