Chapter 003 Family Gathering

Alright, Wang Xiaoer. Although your father is somewhat stubborn, it is not entirely his fault. It is not easy for him to be in that position. With so many people and matters in the company requiring his decision-making, he faces considerable pressure from all sides, naturally leaving him with little energy to deal with family matters. At this moment, Wang Ziyun's mother unexpectedly spoke up to defend her past husband.

No longer considering the issue of escape, Li Heng shifted his thoughts and began to contemplate how to maintain his initiative within the Hongmeng organization, at the very least ensuring that he would not be isolated in a military base under a restricted network

Hearing the reasons narrated by his son, Wang Fantian instead recalled his former self, a passionate young man from over twenty years ago

Yes

Wang Fantian sat back on the sofa, still sitting upright with his back straight. Ye Wan and her daughter sat opposite him, while Wang Ziyun occupied the single sofa on the side. In the middle of them was a transparent glass coffee table.

Wang Fantian spoke up, saying: "Alright, since you have invited your mother here, then let's discuss your thoughts in detail."

Inside the villa, a man approximately fifty years old is sitting in the middle of the sofa in the living room, with short black hair about an inch long. He has a somewhat square face, bronze-colored skin, and his brows are slightly furrowed

The thoughts settled, Li Heng sent out a message, murmuring: "Wang Ziyun, I really have to rely on you this time. I hope you can lend a hand, as I certainly do not want to find myself without any new games to play in the future"

With your abilities, any of the three paths above can lead you far, allowing you to gain more influence within the Hongmeng. If you truly wish to save more people, these options are far more efficient than performing surgeries on patients at the front line. Wang Fantian said solemnly. Since he had decided to engage in a serious discussion, he would not use his father's status to pressure his son.

Wang Fantian, upon hearing this, chose not to speak further; this is a fact, and he would not deny the mistakes he has made

Outside a villa in the central district, Prince Yun is smiling as he quietly converses with a mature woman in her forties to his right, walking forward. "You still look so young and beautiful. Father has been waiting in the hall for quite some time; he will surely be very happy to see you."

"Wang Fantian, can you please not bring that outside attitude home every time we meet?" A mildly angry female voice sounded, as the woman, acting as a mother, stood between the middle-aged man and Wang Ziyun.

Wang Ziyun looked at the girl who was bouncing and holding onto his arm, shaking his head helplessly, and said: "Wang Ziyi, you are already a young lady approaching adulthood. Even siblings should maintain a certain distance. It is not good for you to cling to me like before. If Dad sees this, he will lecture us again"

At that time, Guger Technology had just been established, and my father was a core member of Guger Technology. I married my beloved wife and we had a lovely son, which can be described as a life of happiness and fulfillment

Upon seeing the woman walking at the forefront, the middle-aged man's furrowed brows relaxed slightly. However, upon noticing the Wang Ziyun siblings who entered closely behind, his previously softened expression instantly darkened again

Upon hearing this, Wang Ziyun did not react, still wearing his signature gentle smile as he looked at his father. Although he was also over 1.8 meters tall, he undoubtedly appeared slender compared to his father.

The heavy solid wood door slowly opened, and Prince Yun and the other two entered.

Later, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the army of Hongmeng was once again reduced, and the situation between Hongmeng and the Free Business Alliance gradually stabilized. After retiring from the military, Wang Fantian joined Guger Technology and eventually, through his own abilities and the connections left by his father, he steadily ascended to the position of President of the Southern Region.

Indeed, you are correct. Prince Yun did not deny his father's words. If he truly wishes to save more people, then acquiring greater power and being able to utilize more resources is naturally far more effective than saving them one by one by his own hands

He does not have a protruding beer belly like many middle-aged men who have gained weight. The fitted short sleeves in solid black and graphic colors highlight the bulging muscles on his arms, while the camouflage cargo pants on his lower body make him look more like an officer on leave

Since childhood, Wang Ziyun has been very intelligent. He naturally understands the pressures his father faced over the years and is aware that some of the decisions he made were not entirely from his own heart, but rather the result of compromises.

The drone above the three individuals held up a transparent canopy for them, while large raindrops fell onto the canopy above, producing a pattering sound.

"He is also my son," Ye Wancun replied resolutely. "The military is the military, the company is the company, and the family is the family. It is precisely because you can never distinguish between the inside and the outside that this family has come to this point."

In the end, he chose to join the military. In Hongmeng, the military exists as an independent and transcendent entity, and those capable of intervening in the military would not target him, which ensures the safety of his entire family

Wang Fantian fell silent upon hearing this. In the past, he rarely communicated with his son, and the complex affairs within Guger Technology left him with little energy to pay attention to his son's thoughts

"Stop being so glib. You are trying to flatter me today so that I will help you deal with your father, aren't you?" Mature | The woman turned her head and shot a glance at Wang Ziyun, her deep black eyes glimmering with a hint of amusement as they swept over him. As she turned, the curled ends of her long black hair gracefully traced an arc in the air, and the gentle smile softened her previously somewhat serious face considerably.

Wang Ziyi, who had been holding onto her brother, timidly withdrew her hand and hid behind him. Despite having shown no fear towards her father earlier in public, the moment she saw him with a stern expression in front of her, she immediately wilted.

Time has not left many traces on her, but instead has cultivated a unique charm, drawing people in like the rich aroma of fine wine

A mother and her two children walked towards the nearby four-story villa, laughing and chatting. Roses and honeysuckles surrounded the walls of the villa, while ivy climbed the tree trunks. Ahead stood the brightly lit villa, contrasting with the dark clouds and the flashes of lightning outside.

Wang Ziyi stuck out her tongue and made a face, gently wrinkling her petite nose as she said, "Hmph, with Mom here, that old man wouldn't dare to scold me."

The middle-aged man stood up from the sofa, his height approaching 1.9 meters, and his robust figure cast a shadow on the ground under the illumination of the light. A serious and stern male voice sounded: "Ziyun, Ziyi has grown up, maintain your distance"

Sighing, Wang Fantian spoke to his son: "You do not wish to become like me one day, do you?"

Yes. The voice of the smart butler named 1003 sounded, and a small robot in the corner of the living room rolled over on its two wheels to prepare tea.

However, when faced with the dilemma of saving others or pursuing the future, should I abandon the person I can save now in order to potentially save more people later? Or, for the sake of the future, do I need to take the lives of certain individuals? If I forsake the person in front of me for the sake of a so-called future where I can save more, will I still be the same person who wholeheartedly seeks to save others when I finally reach the end of my journey?

"That's right, that's right, Dad is too fierce, always scolding my brother as if he were one of his subordinates. Mom, you must help my brother!" A clear voice, as melodious as a lark, rang out. The young girl, whose arm was clinging to Prince Yun, wore a look of shared indignation as she denounced her father

As an ordinary person who is not a soldier, Hongmeng does not have a high level of trust in Li Heng. Li Heng is acutely aware of his own value, and in order to avoid being discovered by spies, it is highly likely that Hongmeng will take measures of isolation and surveillance at that time

At this moment, he was no longer the eternally gentle and refined figure he presented to others; instead, he resembled a student complaining to his mother about his father's various behaviors.

Human hearts are fickle, and the prince is well aware that he is an ordinary person. Many have lost their original intentions, yet he has managed to maintain his self-confidence and persevere until the end.

Only with more information can one enhance their capabilities. Once isolated from the internet, this efficient source of information, one can only resign themselves to fate before Hongmeng thoroughly studies themselves

However, just a few years later, Wang Fantian's father was assassinated by a spy from the Free Trade Alliance. Investigations revealed that it was due to a leak from an internal member whom the father trusted the most. From that time on, without his father's protection, Wang Fantian became less trusting of others and gradually grew more realistic, rational, and decisive

Hehe. It has been over half a year since I last saw Wang Xiaoer, so since we finally meet, let it be as she wishes. Wang Ziyun's mother watched this scene with great delight, her lips curling upwards, and the smile on her face never faded.

Ding dong—there is a guest arriving. The voice of the villa's smart butler echoed in the spacious and quiet hall, a deep and powerful male voice

"Hehe, it's not that I have no choice. You know my father's stubborn temper. I get scared when I see him with a stern face; only you have the ability to persuade him," Wang Ziyun said, changing his previously serious tone to one of laughter.

I do not have the confidence to move forward steadfastly like you; I only hope to contribute my share with my own hands and do what I can.

However, the pain brought by the father's death and the experiences in the army led to a significant transformation in his character compared to the past. The conflicts between the couple became increasingly severe, ultimately resulting in the end of their marriage when their daughter was five years old

However, within Hongmeng, there are numerous contradictions, and the various departments are not united as one. At least most departments in the Southern Region of Goger Technology do not get along with those in the Eastern Region

Reflecting on the senior executives I have encountered within Gogel Technology and their attitudes, it becomes evident that without a source of information to propel oneself towards continuous improvement, the ultimate outcome may not be favorable. Currently, Li Heng's value extends beyond that of merely an auxiliary intelligence. Perhaps he could lead a carefree life, but freedom would be out of reach.

He understood that within Hongmeng, there were various interest groups intricately intertwined, and beneath the calm surface of the sea lay surging undercurrents. As the only son of his father, he too had to confront various forms of malice

"Open the door," said the man on the sofa, his voice equally firm and powerful

Thinking of how rare it is for the siblings to meet, he no longer discussed the issue of distance between son and daughter, but instead shifted to another topic: "I know you are here today to speak on behalf of Ziyun, so let's take this opportunity to clarify the issues. Please have a seat, number 1003, and help us brew a few cups of tea."

Over there, various machines are being attached to people, to the extent that one would wish to transform oneself into an intelligent machine, learning and working twenty-four hours a day. Such an idea appears to be heretical here, utterly insane.

Upon hearing these words, the prince straightened his posture like his father and earnestly said: "No, you are the person I respect the most and also the role model in my life"

Participating in the development of new drugs in the laboratory can save lives, serving in the military can also save lives, and joining Goger Technology for management can equally save lives. Wang Fantian presented several different directions, all of which are achievable by Wang Ziyun's capabilities

"Hehe, I will listen to you," the girl known as Wang Xiaoer responded with a light laugh. The young girl, dressed in a light pink short-sleeve shirt, had large, bright black eyes just like her mother, and her slightly chubby face exuded a youthful aura. The ponytail tied at the back of her head swayed from side to side as she walked

"Ye Wan, this is a matter between my son and me," Wang Fantian replied in a deep voice, though lacking the commanding tone he usually used when speaking to his son

Prince Yun then provided his reasoning, gazing into his father's eyes as he said: "However, human hearts are fickle. I cannot guarantee that my thoughts will not be corrupted after I gain power. To save more people, it naturally requires more voice and greater power"

I simply wish to study medicine to save lives, and nothing more. Wang Ziyun replied calmly, his voice neither hurried nor slow
