Chapter 1 The Grand Gift

• China!
• Above the military zone in Longtan City!
• A black helicopter hovered and descended.
• All the soldiers in the military zone stood still, maintaining the highest level of alertness!
• Such vigilance is not common on ordinary days.
• But today is different!
• Because the person sitting in that aircraft is a figure standing at the pinnacle of China!
• Long Palace!
• The soul of the Chinese military!
• With his own strength, Long Palace commanded the three armies of China and pacified all enemies at home and abroad!
• At a young age, Long Palace has already reached the peak of the Chinese military!
• Unmatched by anyone!!
• And now,
• Jiang Long stepped out and walked down from the helicopter!
• Taking off his sunglasses, Jiang Long spoke in a low voice, "How is the investigation going?"
• General Guo Gang of the Longtan Military District stepped forward and said seriously, "Long Palace, everything has been arranged. Your adoptive father, Chu Yuntian's 70th birthday banquet, will be held tonight at 8 o'clock!"
• "Do you have the invitation?" Jiang Long asked.
• Guo Gang gestured to the guard beside him, who immediately handed the invitation to Jiang Long!
• Jiang Long held the invitation in his hand, his expression showing some fluctuations!
• "It's been seven years..."
• "I'm finally back!"
• "Chu Yuntian, you would never have imagined that the adopted son you framed all those years ago would soon appear in front of you!"
• Back then!
• In the case of Chu Yuntian's company falsifying finances, it was Chu Yuntian who framed Jiang Long!
• Since that day, Jiang Long has been burdened with infamy and has faced condemnation from the entire business community in Longtan City!
• No one knows the truth of this matter!
• Because, for the sake of the company's interests, Chu Yuntian killed all the subordinates who knew about it!
• The next day, Jiang Long was sent to prison, where he spent seven years!
• However,
• What Chu Yuntian never expected was that Jiang Long was secretly transferred from prison to the military!
• Since then,
• Jiang Long has experienced countless hardships and achieved what he has today with his own hands!
• Now that he has returned,
• The revenge from back then will be repaid, no matter how late it may be!
• Guo Gang said, "The current Chu Group has become the leader of the three major commercial forces in Longtan City. It might be a bit troublesome for you to deal with Chu Yuntian alone. How about I lead the troops and directly take down the Chu Group?"
• Jiang Long's eyes sharpened at the words,
• Guo Gang dared not speak!
• "I have returned this time to personally settle the score between me and Chu Yuntian!"
• "To kill someone is to eliminate their heart..."
• "Now that Chu Corporation has become one of the giants, it is all thanks to Chu Yuntian stepping on me!"
• "So today, I will personally step on the entire Chu Corporation!"
• Jiang Long's words carried absolute authority!
• After speaking,
• Jiang Long walked to the exit of the military base, got into a jeep by himself, and headed straight to Chu Yuntian's birthday banquet!
• Guo Gang and all the soldiers saluted and respectfully bid farewell to the Dragon Palace!
• Then,
• Guo Gang turned to the political commissar beside him and said, "Commissar Zhao, did Chu Yuntian invite you to his birthday banquet today?"
• Commissar Zhao nodded.
• Guo Gang said, "Then you should accept Chu Yuntian's invitation, remember, at the birthday banquet, you must pretend not to know the Dragon Palace! At the same time, ensure that the Dragon Palace's actions go smoothly!"
• "I understand!"
• ...
• That night!
• Eight o'clock!
• Longtan City, Hilton Hotel!
• Chu Yuntian's birthday banquet began on time!
• The people in attendance,
• Either they were long-time business tycoons,
• Or they were the rising stars of the local business community!
• In short,
• Almost all the wealthy people from the upper class came here!
• After all,
• The current Chu Corporation is flourishing!
• No one dares to disrespect Chu Yuntian!
• "Dad! This is the white Xiangyu that I arranged through connections from another province. I wish you good fortune and a long life!"
• Chu Yuntian's son, Chu Moda, said loudly.
• Chu Yuntian chuckled and was extremely satisfied!
• Many knowledgeable people around couldn't help but show envy in their eyes!
• "Chairman Chu! This white Xiangyu is a top-grade jade. Last year, only three pieces of white Xiangyu were produced in the entire Huaxia!"
• "For Young Master Chu to be able to obtain this white Xiangyu, he truly has strength!"
• "Don't forget whose son he is. He is Chairman Chu's son and the future helmsman of Chu Corporation. Can he be lacking in ability?"
• Everyone had their own opinions.
• Apart from congratulating Chu Yuntian on his birthday, they were also flattering Chu Moda!
• Because,
• Everyone knew that the future of Chu Corporation would ultimately be handed over to Chu Moda!
• And,
• Chu Yuntian has always regarded Chu Moda as his only successor.
• It's not wrong to please Chu Moda!
• Being praised by others, Chu Moda felt even more elated,
• Continuing to say, "Dad, this gift is not the main point."
• "Oh?"
• Chu Yuntian became even more curious.
• "Don't you know that Commissar Zhao from our Longtan City Military Region is coming here today!"
• After Chu Mo finished speaking, everyone, including Chu Yuntian, was shocked!
• Someone exclaimed, "Chu Dong still has some connections!"
• "That Zhao Political Commissar from the Longtan Military District is quite a big shot!"
• In the business world, many tycoons hope to curry favor with people like Zhao Political Commissar. Chu Yuntian knew very well that once he established a good relationship with Zhao Political Commissar, the cooperation with the Longtan Military District would naturally fall into place!
• At that time, the Chu Group would firmly secure its position as the largest enterprise in Longtan City!
• "Great!"
• Chu Yuntian excitedly patted Chu Mo on the shoulder!
• At the same time, Zhao Political Commissar arrived!
• Without hesitation, Chu Yuntian personally greeted him!
• As Zhao Political Commissar entered, he casually exchanged pleasantries and took a seat!
• Chu Yuntian took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement, and sat next to Zhao Political Commissar!
• With this, the banquet officially began, and everyone's gaze turned to Zhao Political Commissar and Chu Yuntian!
• What is called "connections"?
• Even the Political Commissar from the military district came!
• That's what connections mean!
• Chu Yuntian quickly introduced his son, Chu Mo, to Zhao Political Commissar!
• Upon hearing this, Zhao Political Commissar showed no excessive reaction. While listening to Chu Yuntian's words, he scanned the surroundings to see if Long Dian had arrived!
• During the banquet, Political Commissar Zhao spoke up, "I heard that Chu Dong has another adopted son. Why haven't I seen him today?"
• Chu Yuntian was surprised and replied, "That useless adopted son was sent to prison years ago due to his involvement in illegal activities."
• Referring to Jiang Long, Chu Mo also pretended to say, "My younger brother was blinded by greed and committed fraud. It's my fault for not discovering it earlier, otherwise he wouldn't have ended up in jail."
• After saying that, Chu Mo deliberately showed a sad expression.
• Looking at Chu Mo, Political Commissar Zhao coldly thought, 'Haha, you and your father from the Chu family are really good at pretending!'
• Others chimed in, "Young Master Chu Mo, you don't need to blame yourself. After all, Jiang Long is not even a part of our family. He acted completely ungrateful and deserves to be punished!"
• Chu Mo shook his head and continued to pretend, "Sigh, let's forget about it. Today is a joyous day, let's not dwell on unfortunate matters!"
• Just at that moment!
• As Chu Mo finished speaking, the door to the private room was forcefully pushed open!
• Jiang Long walked in slowly.
• Everyone couldn't help but look over!
• Jiang Long exuded an extraordinary aura, his steps were confident, and his whole body emanated a serious and determined energy!
• "Who is this person? He doesn't seem like someone from the business world!"
• "Wait a minute! He looks familiar!"
• "It's Jiang Long!"
• Jiang Long!
• This name,
• echoed like thunder!!
• In the past,
• he was the only stain on the reputation of the Chu Group!
• He was also regarded as a failure by everyone!!
• Today is Chu Yuntian's birthday celebration!
• And he actually had the audacity to come?!
• Chu Yuntian erupted in anger!
• "Beast!!"
• "When did you get out?!"
• Chu Yuntian glared at Jiang Long!!
• He never expected,
• that he would come today!
• And Chu Mo, looking at Jiang Long, was shaken to the core!
• In the past,
• the scapegoat who took the blame, actually dared to return?
• Jiang Long remained expressionless, holding a small box in his hand!
• "Adoptive father, it's been seven years, I hope you're well......"
• As he finished speaking,
• Jiang Long placed the box heavily in front of Chu Yuntian!
• Zhao Zhengwei watched this scene without saying a word, silently observing.
• Chu Yuntian waved his hand and said, "Guards, throw this bastard out for me!"
• Three strong bodyguards immediately stepped forward!
• At this moment, Zhao Zhengwei coughed lightly and said calmly, "Chu Yuntian, your adopted son is here to congratulate you on your birthday. Are you really going to drive him away?"
• Chu Yuntian, upon hearing this, naturally did not dare to contradict Zhao Zhengwei's words!
• Chu Mo stood up and said, "Jiang... little brother, why did you come out?"
• "Why? Surprised?"
• Jiang Long looked at Chu Mo, this man with a heart of a beast!
• Not a single person in the Chu family is good!
• At this time,
• many people said, "The failure is out of prison? And he even has the audacity to come here!"
• "That's right, don't they know today is Mr. Chu's special day of joy?"
• "He even came to give a gift? I'm afraid it's something malicious!"
• Jiang Long filtered out these voices and slowly opened the gift box!
• Chu Yuntian suppressed his inner anger and looked at the gift box in front of him!
• As soon as it opened!
• Chu Yuntian took a deep breath!!
• Inside the gift box was a pair of handcuffs!!
• Jiang Long raised his head, his gaze deep and icy!
• "Back then, I wore this pair of handcuffs when I went to prison!"
• "Seven years ago, this was the gift you gave me, and now... I'm returning it to you!"
