199. Family origins
Aoki smiled, "I don't want to change my name to Wood Wolfe. Although you are also Chinese, I am sure that I have no blood relationship with your family for nearly five hundred years. ”
Hong Kui laughed and said, "Actually, we are not Chinese. ”
"Not Chinese?"
"Yes. We are a branch of the Inuit people and have always lived in the extreme cold of Alaska. But since Dane Vitess Bering came to the Gulf of Alaska, our peaceful life has been shattered. Like the wolves of Mount Kenai, our race was almost wiped out. ”
"The Inuit had to cede habitable land to Europeans and Russians and retreat north to colder regions. In the old family legend, our ancestors were separated from the army during the retreat and lost in the ice and snow. But luckily, a white wolf rescued him and took him to what we would later call the Holy Land. It is said that the Holy Land is connected to different worlds and contains countless treasures. It was from there that my ancestors came out and eventually found their people again. He exchanged a lot of survival resources with the Russians with the little treasure he had brought with him, and this was the beginning of our family's prosperity. Later, he and his people wanted to return to the Holy Land, but they could not find it. ”
Aoki suddenly remembered the spatial dimension problem that Professor Mei had mentioned before, could that holy place be a four-dimensional bubble that fell in Alaska? But he just flashed through his mind, and he didn't take it too seriously. From another point of view, it's just an Alaskan version of the Peach Blossom Spring.
"Then how did you become Chinese?" He asked.
"The Inuit are a very small race, and as more and more people come to Alaska to pan for gold, we are joining in," Hong said. About a hundred years ago, the people of the family began to move south, and at that time, the Eskimos were still extremely discriminated against, and we had to live with the Chinese, although the Chinese were also discriminated against by the whites, but there were so many of them that we could huddle together for warmth. Since there is almost no difference between the Chinese we look at, and because we have been mixed with Chinese blood in the past hundred years, we are rarely mentioned as Inuit. ”
"Then why did your father still have the idea of making me the heir to the family?" Aoki felt very strange, "Isn't this just a random person who just says that he has seen the White Wolf King and becomes a billionaire?" ”
Hong Kui said: "Of course, it is not that simple, and there are still many tests in the future. However, my father's situation this time is very serious, probably because he feels that his life is short, so he is so anxious. And you did see the White Wolf King, we can still tell if it's true or false. ”
Aoki said, "Since you can dream lucidly, you should know what's going on." I was able to meet the White Wolf King because I entered my father's dream, and of course I could see what he saw in his dream. ”
Hong Kui shook his head and said, "No, it's different. In fact, in order to study this strange dream and physical problem in our family, we have invited many strange people, including people like you who can dream. They could also see the forbidden land, but no one had ever seen a white wolf. ”
Aoki was surprised: "This doesn't make sense! Unless they quit the dream before you dreamed of the white wolf, or you don't always dream of the white wolf, and I happened to run into it. ”
Hong Kui smiled: "Whether it's a coincidence or a fate, anyway, you have seen the white wolf." ”
Aoki was speechless, and didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he said: "There is a more important matter now, which is related to your father's life and safety, and also to the fate of the entire human race, of course, it may also have something to do with your forbidden land." ”
Hong Kui felt that such a term as the fate of mankind was too exaggerated, but he still asked curiously, "What's the matter?" ”
Aoki thought for a moment and said, "Let's wait until your father wakes up, lest I say it twice." ”
Hong Kui nodded, and asked Aoki if he would drink tea after dinner or continue to soak in the hot springs. Aoki felt that although it was comfortable to soak in the hot springs, it was also a troublesome thing, so he said that he would drink tea.
Hong Kui asked people to prepare refreshments. The two of them sat there chatting with each other. Aoki admired Hong Kui's elegant and not ostentatious aristocratic gentleman, and Hong Kui was very envious of Aoki's bohemian laziness.
It was completely dark, and through the windows you could see half of the city at neon night.
Huang Ziqiang suddenly broke in and said that he had something to look for Aoki. Hong Kui frowned, he didn't seem to like this person very much, but he didn't stop it.
Huang Ziqiang was about to speak, and the servant came over and said that Mr. Wolf had woken up, and asked Young Master Kui and Mr. Aoki to come over.
Hong Kui stood up and smiled at Aoki and said, "Is the secret of the fate of mankind about to be revealed soon?" My brother! He glanced at Huang Ziqiang again and asked, "Is there anything you don't want to talk about yet?" ”
Huang Ziqiang was startled when he heard Hong Kui call Aoki "my brother", he knew that this North American tycoon who controlled 100,000 gangs and hundreds of billions of clan assets was not a domestic gangster who called him a brother and sister at every turn, and this title was particularly meaningful to him.
He glanced up at the tall Hong Kui, took a step back unconsciously, the corners of his mouth moved, and said, "Oh, it's nothing, since the old man is awake, let's wait until you finish talking about business." ”
After Aoki and Hong Kui left, Huang Ziqiang hurriedly took out his mobile phone and dialed his subordinates: "Keep an eye on Jiang Deguan, and notify me at any time if there is any movement...... What the? A woman with a crow? …… Listen to me, you must not let this woman have an accident...... Call some brothers to be on standby, and I'll come right over. ”
He hung up the phone and glanced at the closed door of old Wolfe's room, and hurried out of the lodge.
……
At this time, the head of the Wolf family, William Wolfe Sr., and the boss of the largest Chinese gang in North America, Mr. Hong Zhenlong, was enjoying dinner in his room, while listening to Aoki tell a story that sounded even more unreliable than the boring science fiction stories in the literary publications of the stall.
After Aoki finished speaking, Hong Zhenlong also happened to finish eating his salmon fillet, drank two spoonfuls of Taihu whitebait soup, and then asked the servant to remove the utensils and asked Hong Kui: "What do you think?" ”
Hong Kui's face looked very heavy, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Mr. Lester's last words are naturally credible, and I have heard of Professor Mei Yiqiu's name for a long time, so I believe that this matter is true." ”
Hong Zhenlong nodded, and then got up from the bed. Hong Kui wanted to help him, but he stopped him. His complexion looked much better, and even the wrinkles on his face were a little less.
"If it's true, then the chaos of the previous gang is not as simple as we thought." He got out of bed, walked a few steps, and then came to the window, looked at the night scene outside the window, and said, "Their initial goal should have been the power of our gang and the family's property, as Mr. Aoki said, if it hadn't been for the discovery of something more valuable in me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be where I am now." ”
Speaking of this, Hong Zhenlong turned around and bowed to Aoki, "Thank you really this time, you not only saved my life, but also saved my family." He added, "I am willing to join Professor Mei's fund, and I will do my best to do whatever you need from me." ”
Aoki smiled happily. He revealed the full truth to Hong Zhenlong, and of course he got Mei Yiqiu's consent. The Third Space Foundation is lacking such powerful and wealthy figures.
Hong Zhenlong said to Hong Kui: "Arrange for the plane to go back tomorrow, it seems that this trip to China has to end ahead of schedule." ”
"Back to Vancouver or Seattle?"
"No, to Los Angeles."
Hong Kui reminded without hesitation: "Aoki said that the shadow has not been completely removed, if you return to the United States...... In case ......"
Aoki thought that Hong Zhenlong would say that he would come back as soon as he finished his work, but he didn't expect Hong Zhenlong to turn around and say to him: "Do you want to think about the matter of the heir of the family?" ”
