Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

Chapter 1255: A Little Strange

Hong Haoming, Lan Xiangqin, those are the names of my biological parents...

“Hong Haoming, Lan Xiangqin...” Hong Dali murmured, carving the names into his mind. He dared not be disrespectful. After all, it was not their intention for him to become an orphan, so Hong Dali did not blame them at all. Hong Dali was very grateful to have been brought into this world.

Uncle Liu looked at Hong Dali. He was actually feeling curious about the sad expression on Hong Dali’s face, but he suddenly noticed Gu Feifei, who had came with Hong Dali. His mind brought up reports from his men about the young man who had killed Yan Hongye.

He was also called Hong Dali, and he also had a tall female bodyguard with him...

“Could it be him?” Uncle Liu frowned slightly, then his face quickly returned to its original expression with no trace of the frown. He asked casually, “Brother, where are you from? Judging from your clothing, you’re not from an ordinary family, right? Your parents should be affluent people, right? Is it okay for you to tell me who they are? Perhaps I know them?”

“Ah? Hmm.” Hong Dali thought for a while and suddenly laughed. “Come to think of it, it seems I have quite a few things in common with this Hong Dali who has passed. My father’s name is Hong Weiguo and my mother’s name is Lan Ruoxi. The surnames match up, haha.”

“Hong Weiguo, Lan Ruoxi?” Upon hearing this name, Uncle Liu shook his head and said, “It seems that my contacts are not that diverse. I don’t know them. They should be very successful people. If there’s an opportunity in the future, introduce me to them, okay?”

“Sure.” Hong Dali nodded and asked suddenly, “Uncle Liu, can I have your contact number? In the future, I would like to talk to you more.”

This man in front of him was the uncle who had sent him to this orphanage, the sworn brother of his biological father. He must try to get his contact number. Otherwise, the world was so big, once he left, how would he find him again?

“Oh, okay, no problem.” Uncle Liu took out his smartphone and told Hong Dali his phone number. Then, he pretended to say casually, “You can look for me for anything in the future. I will do my best to help if I can.”

His voice was magnetic, and his speech was proper and polite. It left a good impression on everyone.

Both of them exchanged their phone numbers. Uncle Liu saw that there was nothing more to say. His brother’s son was no longer alive and got ready to leave. Before leaving, he took out 50,000 yuan in cash from his bag and placed it on the desk of the orphanage director, Grandma Wu. He smiled and said, “Director Wu, thank you for taking care of my nephew for so many years. I made some money from my business these few years. Take this as my sponsorship to the orphanage. Please don’t reject it.”

After he said that, Uncle Liu turned around and left. Grandma Wu could not refuse the money even if she wanted to.

Soon, after Uncle Liu left, Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei glanced at each other and nodded. Their first impression of Uncle Liu was quite good. He spoke in an appropriate manner and was polite. He was good-looking and generous. They couldn’t find any fault with him.

“Grandma Wu.” Hong Dali was a little sad to see Uncle Liu leave. He had finally met a person who could be considered a relative here, but unfortunately, he couldn’t tell him who he was. As such, he felt a little upset. However, it couldn’t be helped. He definitely couldn’t reveal the fact that he had died and transmigrated to another dimension. He could only bear it silently. In the end, he just looked at Grandma Wu and said, “Simply put, I want to support your orphanage financially. I have already gotten the location ready. It’s better than what you have now. The amenities and everything else is the best and most advanced. I wanted to inform you first and I hope that you will accept my offer.”

Hong Dali really wanted to do something. Anyway, the system’s only clause was that he not mess up the technology tree of this world. For example, he could not bring in anti-gravity spaceships from the space age, or the huge space carriers. As for expanding an orphanage, there was no problem at all.

“Ah? This...” Grandma Wu was a little dazed after hearing Hong Dali’s words. She really didn’t know if the young man in front of her was telling the truth or lying—after all, it wouldn’t be possible to build an orphanage, even a simple one, without spending a few million. There were the amenities, the staffing, and most importantly, the land.

These days, any decent piece of land was worth an astronomical amount. It was not something people bought on a whim.

“Grandma Wu,” Tang Muxin came forward to add on, “don’t hesitate, we already got the place ready. All the other things we need can be bought quickly. Everything is ready and we’re just waiting for you. Once you agree, we can move over right away!”

Hong Dali had already conveniently bought the few unsold villas in the Water Creek residential area. They just needed some minor renovations and they could be used. As for the other empty houses, there was even less need to worry about them—anyway, Hong Dali made more than 20 billion yuan on the stock market the past few days. There was enough for him to spend whichever way he wanted...

“This...” Grandma Wu was, after all, a lady with age and experience behind her. It was impossible for her to take everything Hong Dali said at face value. To be sure, she decided to take a look and see if he was telling the truth. If it was true, she needed to submit applications to the local government.

“I understand your intentions, but can you take me there for a look first?” Grandma Wu thought about it. There was nothing to be profited from herself or the orphanage. Even if these people were trying to cheat her, she had nothing they could profit from. So, she decided to go take a look at the authenticity of the offer. Anyway, she was just an old lady, what did she have to lose?

“Okay. Let’s go now, haha.” Since Grandma Wu had agreed, Hong Dali immediately set off.

On the way, he made a phone call to Xiaoyu and asked him to come back quickly—Xiaoyu was from this orphanage. If Xiaoyu spoke for him, there would be nothing to worry about.

...

Elsewhere, Uncle Liu, the gang leader of the Black Dragon Gang, came out of the orphanage. As he drove slowly on the road, he thought about his meeting with the very strange Hong Dali that day.

When the second-best fighter from the Black Dragon Gang, Yan Hongye, was easily defeated by Gu Feifei, the leader had already felt that something was wrong. After all, although he had never seen Yan Hongye’s skill with his own eyes, he had heard about it from his other men.

As a hot candidate to become a core member of the Black Dragon Gang, Yan Hongye’s one-on-one prowess could be ranked among the top in the entire Black Dragon Gang.

But he was completely defeated by a fat woman. Who was this fat woman? Who was her master, Hong Dali?

“Hong Weiguo, Lan Ruoxi?” The leader frowned as he drove. “I’ve never heard of such a powerful couple in China. They’re definitely not the usual type of rich people if they can afford such a powerful bodyguard. But if they’re not ordinary people, where did they come from? Especially since the male’s surname is Hong and the female’s surname is Lan, which just happens to be the same as that of my brother and his wife. The son is also named Hong Dali...”

The more the gang leader thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss.

After all, it was not impossible for Hong Dali to have the same name as the child of his brother, whom he had killed. There were many people with the same name in this world. The problem was, Hong Weiguo’s wife’s surname also happened to be Lan... This was a somewhat inexplicable coincidence.

“Could it be that my brother and his wife have come back from hell to haunt me and take revenge?!” Thinking of this, the leader broke out in a cold sweat. His face was covered in beads of sweat. He quickly looked for a spot to stop and draw in huge gasping breaths.

Businessmen were usually superstitious. They believed in ghosts and gods. This could be seen from the fact that they often visited the temples of God Guan Yu. Upon realizing the similarities between his dead brother’s family and Hong Dali’s family, the leader shivered.

“Impossible, it’s impossible!” The leader desperately tried to console himself. “I saw my brother burn to ashes in the fire with my own eyes. They couldn’t even carry out an autopsy on what was left of him. And my sister-in-law indeed died after a difficult labor. The hospital certified it and I paid for the cremation personally. How could they be back for revenge? Coincidence, it must be a coincidence!”

Thinking this way, the leader’s heart finally calmed down.

He shook his head fiercely and said to himself, “Forget it, I should go back first. I still have to continue crashing the stock market tomorrow. If I settle the matter of the stock market properly, I will be greatly rewarded. Even if it fails, I’ll just emigrate to America. Anyway, I have earned hundreds of billions of dollars, I can live anywhere. As for the Black Dragon Gang, if they are successful, that’s good. If not, so be it. It doesn’t matter.” Then, he thought about it again and gritted his teeth. “As for Hong Dali, I can’t help but feel weird about his appearance at such a time. Especially the female bodyguard. They might interfere with things in the future, I cannot allow them to live! I must find an opportunity to kill them, so as to prevent trouble in the future!”

Having made up his mind, the leader was in a much better mood.

After a person had been frightened, he needed to relax as much as possible. With this thought, the leader changed directions and headed to one of Shencheng’s most famous underground private clubs—the reason it was underground was that the hostesses inside were considered to be the best in Shengcheng.

Prices started from 50,000 a night, and those more popular would cost more than 100,000. All the hostesses there were model-grade and any one of them would be able to give a movie star a run for their money in terms of looks.

...

Water Creek, inside Hong Dali’s villa.

After showing Grandma Wu around the place, Hong Dali returned to the room by himself and closed the door. No one knew what he was up to. Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei sat on the bed in their bedroom. Tang Muxin pouted and said softly, “Sister Nianwei, I feel sad. Dali was so pitiful when he was a kid.”

“En, yes.” Li Nianwei also sighed. “Young Master is actually very pitiful, he must have been lonely when he was young.”

“Sister Nianwei.” Tang Muxin thought for a while, then suddenly said, “How do you think Dali’s biological parents died? That Uncle Liu seems to be a good person. Meeting him is also probably the best thing that happened during our visit to the orphanage, right?”

“It’s hard to say.” Unexpectedly, Li Nianwei shook her head and said, “That’s what I thought at first. But after giving it some careful thought, things may not be that simple. There’s something strange about Uncle Liu.”
