"Fatty!"
Upon hearing Ling Chen’s shout, Hu Fei imdiately understood. He quickly drove away the technicians sitting in front of the computer and sat down with Tang Guolun.
"Fatty, search and list all the most important secret docunts of the God Organization," Ling Chen said.
Without hesitation, Hu Fei’s fingers flew across the keyboard. Before long, a hidden docunt appeared before the three of them.
"This is the one," Hu Fei said. "This docunt is set to hidden mode; it should contain the most crucial information."
Ling Chen took a deep breath and, with a nervous yet excited heart, said, "Open it and take a look."
Hu Fei hit the enter key, and as the docunt opened, its contents were imdiately displayed. The three leaned in closer to the computer screen, carefully reading the information within. The more they read, the stranger their expressions beca. Especially Ling Chen, whose eyes showed a hint of shock, his mouth slightly open, unable to utter a word for a while.
"This... how is this possible?"
Tang Guolun was the first to react. He collapsed onto a chair, staring at the computer screen, murmuring to himself, eyes filled with disbelief.
"Unbelievable," Hu Fei muttered to himself. "Could such a supernatural person really exist in this world? Ling Chen... that’s right!" Hu Fei suddenly turned his head to look at Ling Chen and asked, "If I’m not wrong, isn’t this person your ancestor?"
Ling Chen nodded, "That’s right."
The ancestor Hu Fei ntioned was none other than Ling Gengqiu, the traitor of the Ling Family from centuries ago. Although Ling Gengqiu was a martial arts prodigy, his character left much to be desired, attracting the enmity of many. Eventually, the Ling Family expelled him. However, after his disappearance, the Ling Family, reminiscing about old tis, took in Ling Gengqiu’s descendants.
Ling Chen belongs to this lineage of Ling Gengqiu.
Unexpected... truly unexpected, that his ancestor harbored such secrets.
"No, such a thing cannot be true." Tang Guolun snapped out of his daze and said, "Ling Chen, such things are impossible. I’ve seen a lot in my ti, but I’ve never heard of anything like this. Even if it existed, it would only be in ancient legends."
Hu Fei concurred, "I think the sa way. Ling Chen, to be frank, this is too bizarre for anyone to believe. Moreover, I personally think that the Ling Family probably fabricated this illusion to create an unattainable goal to attract more people to join them. Think about it, whether in ancient or modern tis, haven’t we seen plenty of similar occurrences? Those cults concoct stories to deceive outsiders, then brainwash them to make them believe."
"Exactly, Hu Fei makes a valid point," Tang Guolun agreed. "It must be so. Otherwise, such things do not exist in this world."
Listening to their exchange, Ling Chen quickly waved his hand, "Alright, alright! Enough from you two. I never said I believed the contents above. Like you, I was just startled by those docunts; it doesn’t an I actually believe those things."
After a pause, Ling Chen added, "However, there’s sothing about this situation that strikes as odd: the Ling Family took over the God Organization mainly to use its power to achieve their own goals. So, they wouldn’t need to fake sothing in such a top-secret docunt."
"Not necessarily," Hu Fei said, "When you were on the call with Lin Qiqi just now, she agreed to all your demands straightforwardly. This indicates that Lin Qiqi isn’t afraid of you uncovering these secrets. Think about it: if it were fake, would you be scared if it were you?"
"Well..." Ling Chen pondered, finding so truth in it. Indeed, Lin Qiqi’s straightforwardness puzzled him. When he made those demands earlier, he didn’t expect her to agree so easily, assuming there would be negotiations. But her indifferent attitude was truly suspicious.
"Enough!" Ling Chen declared. "Let’s stop discussing this matter. Fatty, archive this docunt and, both of you, sift through its contents to see if there’s any usable intelligence. Help organize a report once you’re done, and I’ll submit it to Lonely Wolf."
"No problem, looks like we’ll be burning the midnight oil tonight."
"No worries," Tang Guolun said enthusiastically. "These are secret docunts from the God Organization. Others can’t read them even if they want to. Don’t worry, I’ll read everything before going to sleep."
"Alright, it’s up to you two. I have other matters to attend to, so I’m heading out first."
After exiting the control center, Ling Chen didn’t return to his room but instead visited the room where Lin Guodong was held.
Fulfilling his promise, Lin Guodong had been moved from his previous cell to a comfortable bedroom. Upon entering, Ling Chen saw Lin Guodong sitting at the dining table, savoring a delicious breakfast.
Since Lin Guodong was a master on the Earthly List, Ling Chen was cautious of any sudden attack, so he had Hu Fei bind Lin Guodong with two chains, restricting his movent. Aside from this bedroom, Lin Guodong couldn’t go anywhere.
When Ling Chen arrived, Lin Guodong had just finished his breakfast. Seeing him put down his knife and fork, Ling Chen walked forward and took a seat opposite him.
Leisurely, Lin Guodong took a cigar and prepared to light it.
"Let ,"
Ling Chen smiled slightly, picked up the lighter from the table, and helped light Lin Guodong’s cigar.
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Lin Guodong looked at Ling Chen aningfully and asked, "You co here showing goodwill. Is there sothing you need from ?"
"I do have sothing to discuss, but it’s not asking for a favor," Ling Chen replied, leaning back against his chair and crossing his legs. "Didn’t Miss Lin instruct you? Whatever I want to know, you have to tell . Mr. Lin, you haven’t forgotten, have you?"
"Of course not. Go ahead, ask what you want to know. I guarantee to tell you everything I know."
"Even if I didn’t say, I’m sure you could guess."
Lin Guodong smiled and said, "You want to ask about your parents, right?"
"Yes," Ling Chen nodded.
He knew a bit about his father, but nothing about his mother. Over the years, his father never ntioned anything about her, not even showing him a photo of her.
So, in Ling Chen’s heart, his mother always remained a mysterious figure.
