The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 176 Do you know your own background?
"Brother Jun, the matter you asked me to investigate has yielded results."

In the office, Lin Chen sat up straight in his chair and asked with a smile, "What's going on?"

"It's hard to say. I'll send you the information. It involves a major event in the cultivation world. Does this have anything to do with you, Brother Jun?"

Lin Chen didn't need to hide anything from Bat, since his background as an orphan was known to all the brothers in the team.

“This is the jade pendant that my master found on me when I was born. I only recently found it back.”

The bat exclaimed, "Is it related to your background... Brother Jun, I'll send you the information. I'm afraid your background isn't simple either."

"Okay, let me take a look first."

The bat said kindly, "If you need any help, just let me know."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen received the information from Bat and began to examine it carefully.

The information is not much and is vague, but it involves a major event in the spiritual community 27 years ago.

Twenty-seven years ago, multiple factions in the cultivation world secretly gathered at the Sun Bay Resort in Jiuhua Mountain. The purpose of the gathering is unclear, but a fierce conflict broke out during it, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries that night.

According to an insider, the conflict arose over a jade pendant, which, according to the insider, was the one in Lin Chen's possession.

Lin Chen was secretly shocked. The jade pendant in his hand could actually cause many cultivation forces to fight over it. What great secret was this jade pendant involved in?
Lin Chen secretly rejoiced that he hadn't made a big fuss about the jade pendant online; otherwise, it might have brought about a huge disaster.

If the jade pendant they are fighting over is indeed the one in my hand, then were my parents also among those fighting over it at the meeting that day?
Lin Chen continued reading and finally saw a name.

He Hengfang.

He Hengfang was one of the injured at that meeting, but because of his special status as a highly respected philanthropist, he was given special mention.

Behind the document is all the information about He Hengfang that the spider has collected.

After reviewing all the materials, Lin Chen lit a cigarette and began to ponder.

He Hengfang was seriously injured in that conflict and went abroad for treatment many times. Now he is 84 years old and lives abroad. Perhaps He Hengfang is a breakthrough point if we want to understand the matter of that jade.

Lin Chen got up and left the office.

Lin Chen purchased a batch of anonymous phone cards through special channels. He inserted one of the cards into the card and dialed He Hengfang's number.

"Mr. He Hengfang?"

He Hengfang's voice sounded old and weak: "Who am I?"

Lin Chen calmly replied, "You can call me Mr. C. I'd like to ask you about something."

He Hengfang coughed twice and asked, "What is it?" "What exactly happened 27 years ago at the Jiuhuashan Sun Bay Resort, the night you were injured?"

He Hengfang's voice suddenly became clearer and more serious: "Who are you, and why are you asking about this?"

Lin Chen paused for two seconds: "That piece of jade is in my hands."

He Hengfang pressed further, "What kind of jade?"

Lin Chen replied, "It's a jade pendant engraved with the character 'Qi,' which is an ancient seal script style from the Western Wei Dynasty."

He Hengfang's tone suddenly became agitated: "The Apocalypse Jade! The Apocalypse Jade is in your hands?"

Tianqi Jade?
Lin Chen hummed in agreement.

He Hengfang suddenly became excited: "Are you selling this jade? I'll offer a high price."

Lin Chen was slightly surprised. He Hengfang didn't ask any questions in detail, and the first thing he asked was whether he would sell it. That meant that the value of this jade had not disappeared with the passage of twenty-seven years.

Lin Chen asked calmly, "What price are you willing to offer?"

"How about one billion?"

Lin Chen was startled. Even the most expensive jade couldn't be worth a billion, which meant that the value of this jade was more of an added value.

Hearing that Lin Chen remained silent, He Hengfang assumed that Lin Chen was not satisfied and raised the price again without hesitation: "Two billion, no, Mr. C, what's your price?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment and said, "I'm not selling this jade. I came to you not to sell anything, but simply to find out the truth of what happened back then."

After a moment of silence, He Hengfang suddenly asked, "You sound very young. You have the Heavenly Revelation Jade and are inquiring about the truth of what happened back then. Could it be that you are Lin Yuan's son or relative?"

Lin Chen was startled. Was this Lin Yuan his father?

Since it was an anonymous phone card, Lin Chen wasn't afraid of being traced: "I don't know who my parents are, but this jade was with me when I was adopted."

He Hengfang asked, "Are you twenty-seven years old this year?"

"Yes."

He Hengfang sighed: "Then it must be him, that's Lin Yuan's son. Do you know your background?"

Lin Chen answered frankly, "I don't know. Can you tell me?"

He Hengfang said softly, "Your father's name is Lin Yuan, and your mother's name is Feng Lan..."
