Chapter 2023 Shock! The Yu Family, a National Treasure, Makes an Appearance!
The Yu family! We've arrived at the Yu family!
The name Cui Xingjian carried an indescribable weight, striking everyone's hearts like a depth charge!
The courtyard was deathly silent!
Everyone's eyes were fixed on the four Shanghai-brand cars that had slowly come to a stop at the entrance of the alley, as if they were magnets.
The black car body gleamed with a cold luster in the morning light. Although the license plate number was ordinary, its arrangement held a special meaning in the eyes of those in the know.
Those are license plates belonging to a special department!
Jiang Huaiyuan's foot, which was just about to step into the courtyard, suddenly stopped in mid-air.
For the first time, the usually composed and calm head of the Jiang family showed an expression of disbelief in his eyes.
He suddenly turned around, his gaze passing over the crowd and looking towards the alley entrance. His lips moved slightly, but no sound came out.
Qin Zongheng's smile froze. He narrowed his eyes, looking somewhat surprised, and his expression became serious. As a veteran commander who had once led thousands of troops, he knew better than anyone what the name "Yu Family" represented.
Song Cijiu's pupils constricted slightly!
Uncle actually came!
Although Li Xiangnan had mentioned to Shen Qianzhong yesterday at dinner that Old Master Yu might come, his uncle was currently in Zhongnanhai discussing matters and was very busy with work.
Therefore, when they hold meetings, although they attach importance to it, they only prepare for it as the "best-case scenario".
After all, the Yu family's status is too special, so special that they almost never appear in any private occasions!
But now...
My great-uncle really came!
And he even led the team himself?
Upon seeing the car, Song Cijiu was almost certain that his maternal uncle was sitting inside.
Of course, Li Xiangnan's heart was pounding in his chest.
He truly hadn't expected the Yu family to actually come. It seemed that Shen Qianzhong must have met with Old Master Yu and received definite information.
However, he couldn't believe that the Yu family would come, because the Yu family was arguably the most mysterious and unique among the top five families.
Although the neighbors did not understand the exact significance of the Yu family, they keenly sensed something amiss from the reactions of the three important figures, Qin Zongheng, Jiang Huaiyuan, and Song Cijiu!
"Hiss... The Yu family, the Yu family, which family is this?"
"Judging from the expressions on General Qin's and Mr. Jiang's faces... they must be quite influential!"
"Why do I feel like Elder Jiang's reaction suggests that the Yu family is even more arrogant than them?"
"My God, what's going on today? Each family is scarier than the last!"
"The Yu family? I feel like I've heard that name somewhere before?"
Behind the crowd, a veteran worker at a factory affiliated with the military industry suddenly gasped and whispered to the person next to him, "The Yu family... is it that Yu family? Judging from the license plate... wow, could it be the one that made the atomic bomb?"
"What?! An atomic bomb?!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down! I only heard it from an old leader in the factory, saying that many of our country's top-secret projects have the Yu family's involvement behind them..."
"I'll be a good boy!"
These whispers spread like a plague among the people!
Atomic bomb!
hydrogen bomb!
Top Secret Project!
Every word was like a heavy hammer, striking people's hearts hard.
If the Jiang family were the strategists influencing national policy, then the Yu family were the craftsmen forging the nation's sharpest weapon!
One offers advice and suggestions openly, while the other dedicates himself silently in the shadows.
One came from a scholarly family and was renowned throughout the world; the other lived in seclusion, retiring after achieving great success!
It may be difficult for ordinary people to distinguish which is better or worse.
But in the eyes of true insiders, the Yu family is even more important than the Jiang family in some aspects, because what they are protecting is the most fundamental security bottom line of this country!
In the midst of this suffocating silence, the door of the first Shanghai-branded sedan opened.
An elderly man dressed in a dark gray Zhongshan suit got off the car with the help of his son.
He looked to be in his sixties, with slightly graying hair, but it was neatly combed. His face was refined and his eyes were sharp as an eagle's.
Unlike Jiang Huaiyuan's refined and gentle demeanor, this old man's temperament was noticeably more austere and rigorous, a special aura cultivated from years of engaging in precise scientific research.
His back was ramrod straight, his steps were steady and powerful, and every step was as precise as if it had been measured with a ruler.
Behind him, two men and a woman got out of the car. All three were around forty years old, dressed simply but in very fine clothes. They had solemn expressions and their eyes were scanning their surroundings warily, a subconscious action.
They all share a similar temperament: reserved, focused, and serious.
But when the festive red lanterns and red ribbons of the courtyard came into their view, they unconsciously smiled, as if the softest part of their hearts had been touched.
This is the Yu family.
The Yu family is the most low-key and also the most awe-inspiring among the five families!
Once everyone had stood still, amidst the intense gaze of everyone, the elderly man, surrounded by people, raised his head.
It was none other than the head of the Yu family, Old Master Yu Haoran!
His gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Li Xiangnan at the courtyard gate.
The moment those incredibly sharp eyes saw Li Xiangnan, a rare hint of gentleness appeared in them.
"Little Li!"
Even from a distance of eight zhang, he called out, his tone intimate and full of enthusiasm, as if he had used up all his waiting and tenderness.
Then he strode off and headed straight for the courtyard gate.
"Grandpa Yu!"
Even though they were far apart, Li Xiangnan was quite excited.
Such a scene was rare for him, and at this moment he suddenly felt a joy like that of reuniting with an old friend, a joy that transcends age.
It's like being at the exit of a train station. You're waiting at the exit, and from a great distance you see a familiar figure running towards you. You shout excitedly, but then you can't say anything more, only tears welling up in your eyes.
This is exactly how Li Xiangnan feels right now.
But there were even more complex emotions involved.
Old Master Yu Haoran knew about his grandmother's situation.
After saving him at the hospital, he unexpectedly revealed that his grandmother was still alive.
It was from that moment that the journey to find Grandma Mu Huanying finally began.
It was from his few words that Li Xiangnan learned and guessed that his grandmother might work in a classified unit and be an old acquaintance of Yu Haoran!
It can be said that it was Old Master Yu Haoran who opened that Pandora's box and was the one who allowed the Li family to find their purpose again!
Such a person deserves Li Xiangnan's respect and admiration.
As Yu Haoran approached, an invisible pressure spread out.
It wasn't the oppression of power, but an aura of awe built upon wisdom and dedication.
Li Xiangnan's hands were already touching Grandpa Yu's, and he held them tightly. His expression was respectful, warm, and excited as he said, "Grandpa Yu, it's so good that you could come!"
Yu Haoran looked at Li Xiangnan, the tenderness in his eyes becoming even more pronounced. "Of course I should come, child. Your happy occasion is also a happy occasion for the Yu family..."
He only got halfway through his sentence, but the information contained in his words already caused an uproar among those around him.
However, Yu Haoran stopped halfway through his sentence because he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure out of the corner of his eye. He was incredibly surprised and shocked. He turned his head in astonishment to confirm who it was, and after recognizing the person, he was even more shocked and exclaimed in astonishment, "Huaiyuan? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Huaiyuan took a deep breath and went to meet him, his pace quicker than usual, his voice filled with undisguised surprise:
"Brother Haoran, I was wondering if it was really you? What brings you here?"
