Chapter 1 Welcome Home!

In the bustling Bai City, the streets were full of people. Fang Zhi squeezed out of the bus with difficulty and walked home tiredly. "Dad, Dad!" In the distance, he heard his five-year-old daughter's soft cry. Immediately, a happy smile appeared on his face and he walked quickly toward his daughter. "Xiaoding, why did you come out on your own? Where's your mom?" "Mom brought a man back. I saw them hugging and kissing each other." "Pfft!" The neighbour who was trimming the potted plant couldn't help laughing, and then hurriedly apologized to Fang Zhi. "I'm sorry, Fang Zhi. I couldn't control myself. Hahaha, I'm sorry!" Fang Zhi couldn't help but be stunned. "Dad, what are they doing?" "Be good, Xiaoding. Go to the slide and find some children to play with. Be careful not to fall!" "Okay, Dad, don't worry. I will be very careful!" As soon as Xiaoding walked away and he walked into the living room, he heard an indescribable sound. With no expression on his face, he sat quietly on the sofa and turned on the TV. The man and woman inside stopped when they heard the noise. His wife, Zhou Yu, pulled up the quilt and looked out. Suddenly, she said in horror, "Fang... Fang Zhi, why are you here?" "Yeah, I shouldn't have come back to disturb you, right?" Fang Zhi smiled coldly and looked at the man behind Zhou Yu. His head was fat and his ears were big. His hair was loose. He looked like a pregnant woman with a big belly. He was familiar with this person. It was Zhou Yu's boss. His name was Niu Li. He had met him several times when he picked her up from work. Now that he thought about it, Zhou Yu had said several times that she was on a business trip with Niu Li. These business trips were probably fake. The two of them were having a good time. Being caught in the bed, Niu Li didn't care about it at all. Instead, he provoked Fang Zhi and said, "Hey, coward, you are back." Haha! Fang Zhi had an imperceptible smile, and his eyes fell on his wife. "When did it start?" Niu Li gave Zhou Yu a disdainful smile. "Baby, don't be afraid. As long as you say something, I will find someone to destroy this good-for-nothing immediately!" Zhou Yu seemed to have a backbone and told Fang Zhi coldly. "Since you've discovered it, then let's get a divorce!" Fang Zhi laughed at himself and lit a cigarette. "Zhou Yu, I really want to take out your heart and see what colour it is." They had been married for five years, and Fang Zhi was very considerate to Zhou Yu. In addition to normal work, he was also responsible for taking care of their daughter and taking charge of all the housework. Zhou Yu never worried about her family affairs and always liked to compare with the people around her. "Humph, we've been married for five years. Don't you know what kind of life you made me live? You can't afford meals in high-end restaurants, you can't drive luxury cars, and you can't live in a big house. If it were another woman, she would have divorced you." Zhou Yu's face was filled with disdain. Fang Zhi took a deep breath and looked at Zhou Yu. "On account of your affection for me and the fact that you are my daughter's mother, Zhou Yu, I will give you another chance! Cut off all contact with this man. I can forgive you and pretend that nothing happened." "Fang Zhi, are you dumb? I said that I will get a divorce. I will go to the Civil Affairs Bureau tomorrow. I will leave Xiaoding to you, and all the savings in the family will belong to me." Zhou Yu did not hear anything and said more firmly. "Ha! You slept with such a man just for money. But one day, you will regret what you did today. You will kneel down and beg me to forgive you!" "You're really good at pretending! Baby, this loser doesn't even dare to move, I'll go first. Come and find me after you've packed up your things! Let this fool die on his own!" "Okay, brother Niu, don't forget to take your coat." Zhou Yu said to Niu Li in a sweet voice. After seeing Niu Li leave, she sneered and said, "Anyone can boast! I'll wait for the day when you make me kneel down!" "That's good! But let me give you a piece of advice: what goes around comes around!" "Tsk!" Zhou Yu thought that he was crazy. His tone suddenly became so big that it was so funny. After Zhou Yu left, Fang Zhi sat on the sofa. No one knew what he was thinking under his calm face. He just smoked one cigarette after another. When Fang Xiaoding came back, Fang Zhi quickly pinched the cigarette and helped her wipe the sweat on her forehead. "Dad, where are Mom and Uncle?" "They left to do something." "Oh, I'm so hungry. I want to eat." Fang Zhi got up to find something to eat in the room, and Fang Xiaoding followed him. But after looking around, he found that all the things at home had been eaten up. Zhou Yu took away all the savings, and he had no money in his pocket now. He turned around and accidentally tripped to the ground, causing Fang Xiaoding to fall down as well. Fang Zhi quickly got up to check if Fang Xiaoding was hurt. There was a scratch on her arm, and her eyes were red. Tears began to swirl in her eyes, but she still bit her lips and said firmly, "Dad, I'm fine." Fang Zhi held her in his arms and sobbed slightly. "Xiaoding, I'm sorry. I was wrong in the past because I was too young to take good care of you! But I promise you that from now on, we will no longer live such a depressing life. I will make you the happiest little princess in the world!" "Huh?!" Xiaoding blinked her big watery eyes and asked in confusion. Fang Zhi touched her head, picked up his phone, and dialled a number that had been saved in his contacts for a long time. At this moment, the international venture was being carried out in Dibai's Halifata. There were a lot of people in the main hall. Countless top rich people of the world were listening to the speech of an old man on the stage. "In the first 20 years of the 21st century, the world economy was driven by the quadruple carriage of energy, mobile devices, money funds and the Internet of Things, but where will the drivers of the world economy shift in the next 10 years? And where should we aim the trillions of weighty money in our hands? The World Bank......" The phone beside the old man's hand suddenly vibrated, and the caller ID was an unknown number. However, for some reason, the old man's eyelids suddenly jumped wildly without warning. "Sorry, I have to take this call.." The sudden shudder made the old man decide to pick up the phone, even if he had to let the world's top rich people wait together for a few seconds. When the call was connected, a familiar and somewhat strange voice sounded. "Tianbo, it has been a while!" In an instant, the old man's whole body began to tremble wildly! "Young... Young... Young Master!!!" Because he was too excited, the old man's voice was so loud that the whole venue could hear it clearly. All of a sudden, the whole venue was in an uproar! These people were all top rich people in the world's economic world, but they couldn't help but stand up. The old man shouted excitedly, "Oh my god, young master! It's young master Fang! Hurry... hurry up and locate the young master." "This, this, this..." The rich people under the stage were also excited. "Fang Zhi! He's the young master of the Fang Clan! He's the next heir of the Fang Clan!" "Yes, yes, yes! I heard that he ran away from home and disappeared seven years ago! Did he finally show up?" "God! I heard that the mysterious clan leader is not feeling well. For the past two years, he has been looking for this young master all over the world to take over. Every time the head of the Fang clan is handed over, the global economic forces will carry out a new round of cleaning. This is an opportunity!" "That's right. We must act quickly and befriend the uncrowned king of the future world as soon as possible!" A group of rich people in the venue, including Tianbo, who was supposed to give a speech for two hours, had long forgotten their original arrangement. Ten minutes later, a helicopter at the top of Halifata broke through the air and flew away. Before long, various luxury private planes rose into the air and couldn't wait to fly to the bay! Two hours later, dense shadows appeared above Bai City, like a large mosquito nest. But it was not a mosquito. Instead, it was a helicopter of high value. The noise coming from the helicopter seemed to have covered the whole city in the noise. The densely packed helicopters finally hovered in the sky above a community. Huge banners fell from the sky, and there was only a row of words on them—Welcome home, young master! Then, hundreds of bodyguards in suits and leather shoes blocked the whole community. A helicopter slowly landed, and Tianbo got out of it. With trembling steps, he quickly came to Fang Zhi with his crutch and cried bitterly. "Young... Young... Young Master, I've finally found you!" "Master is seriously ill. All the important affairs of the family can't be dealt with now. Come back and take charge of the overall situation!"
