Raising his eyebrows, he inquired, “Are you a warrior as well?”


    Charlie pondered for a moment before responding, “That’s correct!”


    Feng Zidong couldn’t help but let out a sigh. “I never would have imagined that the son of Senior Brother Bruce, who has been missing for so many years, would turn out to be a renowned warrior! When I was quite young,” he continued with a faint smile, “I waspelled by my parents to learn martial arts. However, after being adopted by Xion’s grandfather, I opted to focus on my studies instead of continuing my martial arts practice.”


    Charlie, intrigued, asked, “Warriors are typically so devoted to martial arts that they’re willing to sacrifice everything for it. It’s unusual for someone to prioritize education over martial arts. What led you to make that choice?”


    Feng Zidong chuckled at himself, saying, “My parents and everyone I encountered during my childhood incessantly emphasized the importance of martial arts, instilling in me a deep admiration for it. I was profoundly influenced by their words, and from a young age, I aspired to be a martial arts master. I even made a grand vow to delve into the dark world of martial arts in my lifetime…” He paused, a sigh escaping him as he added, “However, I never anticipated that in my parents’ eyes, martial arts would hold greater significance than my own well-being. When I was just six years old, they entrusted me to the Elms family in pursuit of their own breakthroughs. Consequently, for the next forty years, I vanished without a trace.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    “Uncle Elms initially intended to teach me martial arts, but I couldn’t bring myself to forgive my parents for abandoning me. I was determined not to repeat their mistakes, so I chose to abandon martial arts and dedicate myself to my studies instead.”


    Charlie, still puzzled, asked, “Mr. Feng, my father pursued business studies abroad. Since you also attended business school, what prompted your transition to bing a host?”


    Feng Zidong exined, “I studied business abroad, focusing primarily on economics. For twenty years, I worked in finance in the United States. After starting as an analyst, I gradually transitioned to hosting a financial program, ultimately bing a news host for aprehensive TV station.”


    Charlie couldn’t help but remark, “That seems like quite a leap.”


    Feng Zidong sighed, “It was a decision driven by an unexpected revtion. I resolved to do everything in my power to be a host. My hope was that if my parents were still alive, they would see me on TV, hear my name, and perhaps recognize my voice, which might prompt them to return to me…”


    Charlie, curious, asked, “Did they ever appear?”


    Feng Zidong hesitated briefly before responding earnestly, “Mr. Wade, let’s find a safe space to discuss this in detail after the wedding.”


    Recognizing that there might be deeper issues at y, Charlie urged, “Mr. Feng, this ce is very secure.”<fn02fb> Original content can be found at Find★Novel</fn02fb>


    Feng Zidong shook his head with a smile, saying, “I trust you and I trust Xion, but others outside may not be entirely reliable. The conversation I wish to have must be with someonepletely credible; even a one in ten thousand chance of misunderstanding is enough for me to withhold my words.”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
