Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 5159 – Zeng Xiaoya leaned closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder. Zhan Yue embraced her.
They leaned on each other, hand in hand, to spend the rest of their lives together.Twenty years later. H City, X Province.
Several black sedans drove along a winding mountain road, up a flat-topped hill, and finally stopped at the end of the road, in front of the Long family’s old residence.
The security guards on duty at the gate saw the cars and quickly opened the gate. They came out of the guardhouse and stood at the entrance, saluting the occupants of the lead Maybach as it drove in.
The car quickly entered the residence and stopped in front of the main courtyard. The bodyguard’s car opened first, and several bodyguards in black uniforms quickly got out and stood in front of the Maybach, waiting for the man inside to get out.
Long Tuo got out of the car, his face tense, looking very angry. “Dad.” A girl ran quickly out of the house. Upon seeing Long Tuo, the smile on her face slowly faded, and she asked cautiously, “Dad, how did it go? Did you see the president of Longteng Group?”
Long Tuo looked at his daughter for a while and said, “Come inside and talk. Is your grandfather home?” “Yes, Grandpa is practicing calligraphy and waiting for news from Dad.”
Long Tuo stepped into the house. His only daughter, Long Ruoyu, did not immediately follow him but asked a bodyguard, “Did Dad take you to Longteng Group and see their president?”
The bodyguard respectfully replied, “Miss, no, he only saw the special assistant to the general manager of Longteng Group. He couldn’t even see Vice President Zhou, let alone their boss.”
Long Ruoyu frowned. “My dad went there in person and still couldn’t see him? The boss of Longteng Group is really arrogant. In our H City, who dares to disrespect my dad? Our Long family has been operating here for a hundred years.
It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say that our family is like local tyrants.” The bodyguard remained silent. Longteng Group had only been established in H City for six years, starting as a small company.
However, its owner, Ye Longting, was a shrewd businessman. In just six years, he built Longteng Group into a conglomerate that could rival the Long Group, seriously threatening the Long Group’s position in the business world.
The most mysterious figure was Ye Longting himself. No one in H City had ever seen his face or knew what he looked like. Whenever he met with clients or discussed business, he always wore black sunglasses and a large black mask, completely concealing his face. Only
his sharp black eyes were visible, always piercing and cold, seemingly able to see through people’s hearts.
The long-established families in H City, with over a century of history and well-developed intelligence departments, were usually first-rate at gathering information.
However, they encountered a dead end with Longteng Group, unable to uncover Ye Longting’s background even after years of investigation.
Furthermore, Longteng Group had a deep partnership with Qianxun Group in A City, a partnership that even the Long Group couldn’t establish with Qianxun Group.
It wasn’t that Qianxun Group didn’t want to connect; it was that Qianxun Group didn’t want to cooperate with the Long Group.
Over twenty years ago, Long Ruoyu’s grandfather, then acting head of the Long family, led her father, Long Tuo, to the Qianxun Group. They intended to discuss cooperation and a marriage alliance, with Long Tuo marrying Ouyang Ting, the second daughter of the Ouyang family.
However, Ouyang Ya, the head of the Ouyang family, firmly refused. Although the Ouyang family was predominantly female, their daughters were all incredibly capable, not only preserving the family business but also propelling it to new heights.
Even Long Ruoyu’s grandfather dared not act like an elder in front of Ouyang Ya, as he was merely the acting head of the Long family, not the true patriarch.
The Long family still lacked a true patriarch because the family seal, token, and totem had been lost thirty years ago.
In reality, it was a case of Long Ruoyu’s grandfather leading a group of collateral relatives to overthrow the direct line, attempting to seize power, but failing to find the seal, token, and family totem. The Long family, after all, only recognized those three items.
Without those three things, even if the direct line is wiped out, one can only be a acting patriarch, unable to truly control the Long family. Moreover, the fruits of their labor over two or three decades could potentially benefit others.
Years ago, a young child from the direct line of the Long family escaped with the nanny. The acting patriarch sent people everywhere to search, eventually pinpointing Long Ting, the adopted son of Mu Qing, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jun family in City A, G Province.
But that was just speculation; they hadn’t seen Long Ting in person and couldn’t be certain he was the last surviving member of the direct line.
They tried countless times to inquire about him, even indirectly trying to meet him through Hai Tong’s nephew, Zhou Yang, but all attempts failed.
The Long family could no longer find any news about Long Ting. They heard he was no longer at Fengchen Manor, his whereabouts unknown. He was a ticking time bomb for the Long family, ready to explode at any moment and obliterate them all.
