"Then forget it," said Ling Chen. He didn’t have much hope for this matter.
"Fatty, there are two more people, help check them out. They settled abroad twenty years ago, and I don’t know which country they live in now. You have a wide network of contacts in this area, so find them for as soon as possible."
"Sure, no problem."
After listening to Ling Chen’s description of the two, Hu Fei asked curiously, "Who are they?"
"They are my grandparents." As he spoke, Ling Chen appeared sowhat downcast. Besides his father, he had other relatives. However, for so many years, he never had the chance to contact them, let alone acknowledge them; it’s undoubtedly a painful thing. And whenever his grandparents were ntioned, Ling Chen imdiately thought of his mother whom he had never t.
He had lived for more than twenty years and never had the chance to call soone ’Mom.’
"Grandparents?" Hu Fei and Tang Guolun were taken aback, not expecting those two to be Ling Chen’s relatives.
"Ling Chen, since when did you have grandparents, and why have I never heard you ntion them before?" Hu Fei asked.
"I just found out from Lin Guodong. Alright, don’t ask anymore, I don’t know much myself. Once I find my grandparents, I have a lot to ask them." Finishing his words, Ling Chen greeted Hu Fei and Tang Guolun, then started walking out of the control center.
After a sleepless night, Ling Chen, who was initially a bit sleepy, wanted to rest. But after learning about his parents from Lin Guodong, all thoughts of sleep vanished, and he kept thinking about his mother.
Leaving the research base, Ling Chen drove a rcedes directly towards Hongyu Group.
Today is Tuesday, a normal working day, so at this ti, Nanrong Wanqing should be at the company.
After more than thirty minutes on the road, Ling Chen arrived at the destination. Parking the car in the underground lot, he walked alone into the elevator, reaching the top floor of Hongyu Group.
"Chen!"
Just as he stepped out of the elevator, Ling Chen heard Nanrong Hao’s voice coming from the side. Turning his head, he saw Nanrong Hao quickly walking over, adjusting the tie around his neck as he approached.
"Haozi, where are you going?"
"I..." Nanrong Hao started to reply but then seed to think better of it and changed his words: "Nothing much, just hungry, heading out to grab sothing to eat. Chen, you’re here to see Sister, right? She’s in her office; you can go straight there." With that, Nanrong Hao quickly stepped into the elevator, waved goodbye to Ling Chen with a smile.
As the elevator doors slowly closed, Ling Chen scrutinized Nanrong Hao inside the elevator. Suddenly, he reached out and placed his hand in the center of the doors. Instantly, sensing sothing, the elevator doors opened.
Seeing Ling Chen’s action, Nanrong Hao paused in surprise and asked, "Chen, what are you doing?"
Ling Chen replied lightly, "I should be the one asking you. What are you up to, trying to deceive , thinking I’m so easy to fool?" Without waiting for Nanrong Hao to respond, Ling Chen stepped into the elevator and asked, "Spill it, what’s really going on?"
"Well..." Nanrong Hao appeared hesitant, as if on the verge of speaking but holding back.
"Are you going to tell or not?" Ling Chen asked impatiently, "If you don’t, don’t bla for being rude." As he spoke, Ling Chen raised his hand, posing as if ready to hit.
"No, no!" Nanrong Hao quickly raised his hands, stopping Ling Chen’s action.
"So, will you tell ?"
"Alright, I’ll tell you. Hao called , asking to handle so matters." Nanrong Hao said with a wry smile.
"Jiang Hao?" Ling Chen’s eyes moved, and he asked, "What did he ask you to do? From the way you looked, it seed like you were going to fight soone. I warn you, be honest, and don’t try to fool ."
"Well..." Nanrong Hao said with difficulty, "Chen, this actually involves Xiong, and I... I’m not sure how to say it."
Xiong?
Zhao Zhengxiong!
Ling Chen’s heart skipped a beat, imdiately recalling what Jiang Hao had ntioned a few days ago. Jiang Hao had said that Zhao Zhengxiong had been acting restlessly lately. Since Nanrong Hao was taking over Hongyu Group and had no ti to manage his own territory, he handed it over to Zhao Zhengxiong and Jiang Hao for assistance in managent.
Jiang Hao and Zhao Zhengxiong had agreed that each would manage half of the territory. Yet for so reason, Zhao Zhengxiong’s n repeatedly went to Jiang Hao’s territory to cause trouble, even taking over the places Jiang Hao managed.
Jiang Hao, out of brotherhood, suppressed his anger and frustration, not wanting to cause trouble for Zhao Zhengxiong, hoping they could sit down and resolve the issue. After all, with so many subordinates, Zhao Zhengxiong couldn’t personally oversee everything. Jiang Hao was concerned that Zhao Zhengxiong’s n were acting without orders. However, despite arranging several etings and making countless calls, he couldn’t reach Zhao Zhengxiong.
At this point, Jiang Hao realized the obvious: Zhao Zhengxiong was behind this, aiming to seize all the territories.
When Jiang Hao ntioned this issue to Ling Chen the other day, Ling Chen said he would talk to Zhao Zhengxiong. But, preoccupied with more pressing matters, Ling Chen didn’t pay much attention. Seeing Nanrong Hao so agitated today, Ling Chen realized the conflicts between them had deepened. If not resolved quickly, it might lead to serious trouble.
Thinking of this, Ling Chen patted Nanrong Hao’s shoulder and said, "Okay, don’t get too worked up; I’ll go with you and handle this matter."
"Really?" Nanrong Hao’s eyes lit up as he grinned, "Chen, it’s best if you step in, but..."
"But what?"
"Chen, Hao, Xiong, and I are brothers who fought together. I hope this matter doesn’t cause distress for everyone. If we et, you had better..."
Before Nanrong Hao could finish, Ling Chen understood what he ant and nodded, "Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Besides, this isn’t my first encounter with Xiong. I know what kind of person I am. Let’s not linger, let’s go, don’t keep Jiang Hao waiting."
Taking the elevator to the underground parking lot, Ling Chen got into Nanrong Hao’s Audi and headed straight to the agreed location.
After half an hour, Nanrong Hao drove the Audi to a bustling comrcial street.
Getting out of the car, Ling Chen surveyed his surroundings, taking in the imdiate environnt.
If he rembered correctly, this used to be Nanrong Hao’s territory.
As he pondered, Ling Chen’s attention was drawn to a commotion not far away.
