Chapter 1000: The Wind Brings a Stir

Cheng Zicheng walked up a few steps and said to Cheng Zitong, "Third brother, this way."

Cheng Zitong looked at him and said, "Don't worry, I won't get lost."

He didn't notice that when he walked out, his senior brother Qiao Linhu, who was sitting next to him, seemed to be secretly relieved when he saw that he didn't look at him.

Cheng Zicheng led him and Xiao Ke to a seat for the second generation, where there were two nephews and nieces of the Cheng family who were about his age, as well as some other relatives, some of whom were close relatives and some of whom were distant relatives of many generations. Everyone at the table was talking and laughing, and there was no restraint at all.

Maybe it was because everyone's life was pretty much the same now, or maybe they felt sorry for each other, but when they saw him coming, the people at this table didn't care at all about the strange looks from others, and they all came up to greet Cheng Zitong eagerly, which made the atmosphere more humane than in the lobby.

After Cheng Zitong sat down, he pulled Xiao Ke and said, "Sit down. This is the rule of the Cheng family."

Xiao Ke sat down angrily, "Brother Tong, I thought this time would be an exception."

Cheng Zitong chuckled and said, "Who says it's not true?"

After Cheng Zhou asked Cheng Zitong to sit down and leave, he asked someone to bring up a plate of purple gold dates and put one on each table.

Fan Shoulu, the principal of Yangzhi Wuyi School, who was sitting on the side, glanced at the dates, then looked at his senior brother, shook his head, but didn't say much.

At this time, a middle-aged man sat up straight, as if he had received some news from the world. Then a look of joy appeared on his face, and he said something to the outside.

"Oh, you're here?" Several old men present were immediately cheered up and looked happy.

The middle-aged man came to Cheng Zhou and after getting permission, he walked outside. After a while, he saw several people who looked like technicians coming over, and then they moved a round plate to the middle of the hall under the gaze of everyone.

After a few adjustments, a field device that had been arranged above was started up, and then a light curtain was lowered from it, forming a three-dimensional field screen.

The screen faces all directions and can be seen from every angle. After a while, the screen flashed rhythmically a few times, and a blue sea appeared inside.

At first, everyone didn't think anything of it and just thought it was some kind of program being broadcast. However, as the camera turned, they discovered that the viewing angle was actually from a very high place, and it seemed that they could see a very vast island from it.

Someone recognized it immediately, exclaimed, and said excitedly: "That's the Gaoting Tower on Haidong Road! This is on Haidong Road!"

"Is it Haidong Road? Skyline?"

“Is this the live scene from Haidong Road?”

"I know that Gaoting Tower is the highest point on Haidong Road."

The Gaoting Tower on Haidong Road is about 250 meters high. It is built on the Weigong Mountain, the highest mountain in the Gongying Islands. It is undoubtedly the tallest building in the entire archipelago. There is a sky garden on it. It is also the place with the densest organisms and the best signal.

At this time, more than a dozen young people appeared on the screen, and the faces of the two in front were familiar to many people.

"Aren't those Lao Wu and Lao Ba? Yes, no wonder I didn't see them today, they were there."

"You don't know, right? The Cheng family and our family are going to build a fighting gym in Haidong Road, and they and a few other guys are going there to scout out the way."

Both young men were wearing festive birthday attire. They smiled and bowed to the front, saying, "Third Grandpa, we are in the central city of Haidong Road. We are here to wish you a happy birthday with the help of the light that has just connected the skyline. We, the younger generations, would like to wish you a long and healthy life!" Then, they bowed to the front.

The younger generations who came later to participate in the establishment of the martial arts school all bowed together and said happy birthday words.

Cheng Zhou couldn't help but nod: "Okay, that's thoughtful."

A woman in her forties at the table said through Jie Ping: "Third Grandpa, they can also hold a banquet and celebrate your birthday here. Even if they are thousands of miles away, they will feel like they are right next to you."

Cheng Zhou nodded repeatedly.

He looked at his niece who was working in the city patrol technical room outside the hall and said, "Xiao Yun, you arranged all this, right?"

Cheng Xiaoyun stood up quickly and said with a smile: "Third Grandpa, how dare I make this decision? It was all Grandpa and Second Grandpa who gave the nod. I am just a pawn at best."

Cheng Zhou looked at the screen and said with emotion: "Technology is very important. We can't use old ideas."

Although he is very rule-abiding, he is not old-fashioned in some aspects. He can even be said to attach great importance to technology, especially implant armaments. He is willing to accept implants for the next generation of disciples who have no talent.

However, he was very strict with his talented children, because once he relaxed, most of them would not have the self-discipline to practice martial arts and would take shortcuts, then starting a family would not be a good start.

Most of the people present did not think as far as he did, they just wanted to have fun and watch the excitement.

However, many people can see that the skyline was officially launched by the Government Affairs Department only yesterday. It is considered a high-end thing for many people. It was only open to the public yesterday. The old man’s family can use it to celebrate the birthday today. How much face does this give the upper class?
People always say that the old Cheng family does things in an old-fashioned way and strictly adheres to old rules. But now it seems that this is not the case. The old Cheng family is quite willing to accept new technologies. Not only have they accepted them, but they are also ahead of many people.

At this time, a middle-aged man wearing an old martial arts uniform walked out of the screen. The younger generation of the Cheng family introduced him, "Third Grandpa, this is Mr. Sancheng Huang. Mr. Sancheng has been very helpful in helping us celebrate the birthday successfully this time."

San Chenghuang bowed towards the screen.

"Hello, Mr. Cheng. I am a disciple of Langtao Pavilion in Sanchenghuang. I am currently working at Fusion Boundary Company. I heard that Mr. Cheng is celebrating his 80th birthday, so I would like to wish Mr. Cheng a happy birthday on behalf of Langtao Pavilion and Fusion Boundary Company."

Langtaokan...

Those present who knew about it were all surprised, for that was one of the three largest overseas halls, and there existed a sword master there, who was said to be the current garrison fighter of Haidong Road.

Cheng Zhou was also a little surprised. He raised his hand and clasped his fists solemnly: "Mr. Sancheng, thank you for your help and your company. Thank you for your birthday wishes. I am a little overwhelmed."

San Chenghuang bowed and said very seriously: "Mr. Cheng deserves it."

At this moment, a screen suddenly appeared on the screen, and a middle-aged man with good temperament appeared. People who knew him immediately recognized that this was the new vice president of Wuyi College, Cai Zhaoyin. He smiled and bowed, saying, "Mr. Cheng, on behalf of Wuyi College and President Yao, Cai wishes you a happy birthday."

"Don't dare to take it seriously."

Cheng Zhou's expression became serious, and he raised his hand to return the greeting.

He felt that he deserved the birthday celebration from Wuyi College. After all, he had taught students there, and some of the teachers there were still his students.

However, he had never met Yao Zhiyi, as he was stationed in the fusion area all year round and basically never appeared in the central city. There was no question of whether they had any friendship. Moreover, a fighter would not go out of his way to make friends with the people below him. The two sides were not on the same level.

Cai Zhaoyin said with a smile: "I deserve it, I deserve it."

Cheng Zhou was about to say something when suddenly a message came from the world. He was startled. Not only him, but many people who worked in the city patrol and processing bureau, including Ni Qianqian and Liu Yin, all shouted at the same time. They were startled at first, and then stood up from their seats one after another.

Cheng Shang and Fan Shoulu both looked at Cheng Zhou at this moment, waiting for him to make a decision. The latter took a deep breath, looked outside, and said loudly: "Open the main gate, all members of the Cheng family, follow me to welcome you!"

After finishing speaking, he and the rest of the Cheng family walked out quickly. When they reached Cheng Zitong's table, they stopped and paused for a moment before saying, "Xiaotong, come along." Then, he walked forward.

After Cheng Zitong and the others had passed by, he slowly stood up and motioned to Xiao Ke, "Xiao Ke, let's go." Xiao Ke realized something, threw the chicken leg he was gnawing on the table, wiped it with something, and suppressed his excitement, "Okay! Brother Tong!"

Xiao Jing, who was sitting at a table on the side, saw the elders walking out, and then saw Liu Yin standing up. She also stood up quickly, opened her eyes wide and asked, "Brother Liu Yin? What happened?"

Liu Yin didn't know why his breathing was a little faster. He said, "Don't ask, just follow me." Then he started to walk out. Although the others didn't understand the situation, they followed him out after hearing what he said. After most of the guests at the scene realized this situation, naturally few of them stayed where they were.

After a while, about five or six hundred people rushed out together.

Fortunately, the open space in front of the mansion was large enough, so so many people only occupied a corner in front of the door.

Then they saw that there were rows of fully armed guards and security personnel standing in the parking lot and on the road. The familiar Xu Chan, the investigation director of the Processing Bureau, was standing in the front in uniform, talking to several people.

Those people were also in uniform. Anyone from the Defense Department could recognize them at a glance. They were deputy directors of the Defense Department. They were all staring at the watches on their wrists and looking at the sky from time to time.

This scene shocked them. After a while, everyone heard the sound of propeller blades. Cheng Zhou and others looked up and saw an airship coming from a distance under the bright night lights of the central city. When the guards saw the airship, they turned around and stood in that direction.

The guests who could come here today all had good eyesight and could clearly see the style of the airship, which had the emblem of the Fighter Council on it. This was an exclusive airship for fighters, and in the central city, apart from Yao Zhiyi who seldom showed up, there was only one other person who owned this airship. Most of the people present couldn't help but feel their hearts pounding.

The airship was travelling very fast and soon it was close. At this moment, a figure appeared on the high terrace, but it seemed like just a flash of light, and the person appeared on the ground and walked towards here from the far end of the intersection.

The man was wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a Defense Department uniform. The copper buttons and epaulettes on his coat sparkled in the light around the airship. As he walked over, his coat lifted slightly in the night breeze, and a bright red scarf fluttered in the wind like a blazing flame.

The guards and armed personnel on the road all stood up straight and saluted.

Xu Chan, the investigation director, and several deputy directors of the Defense Department all raised their hands to salute him when he came over, saying, "Director!"

Chen Chuan nodded, raised his hand to return the greeting, and then he walked forward along the open road alone under the gaze of everyone. He did not walk directly to the front, but walked directly in front of Cheng Zitong, stepped his heels together lightly, bowed slightly and said: "Teacher, I wonder if I am late?"

Cheng Zitong's round face behind his sunglasses was filled with suppressed excitement. He smiled and said, "How could that be possible, Xiao Chuan? I know that you are a punctual student."

Chen Chuan raised his head, looked at the mansion in front of him and the people standing below, and said, "Today, I am here with you to celebrate Mr. Cheng's birthday."
