The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 178 What a coincidence!

"Yes, the Chu family."

He Hengfang coughed violently for a while before calming down: "I was one of the core figures in Lei Tiezong at the time, so I can confirm that Lei Tiezong did not harm your father. If you want to avenge your father, please give Lei Tiezong a break for the sake of what I have told you today."

Lin Chen replied, "If what you said is true, I might not necessarily cause trouble for Lei Tiezong."

He Hengfang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Lin Chen asked, "What exactly is the use of the Heavenly Revelation Jade? Why are so many people risking their lives to seize it?"

He Hengfang smiled wryly and said, "It is said that this is a key, a key to enter a mysterious place, and legend has it that there is a secret to making people live forever in that mysterious place."

"Immortality?"

Lin Chen's eyes widened, his tone one of surprise: "People actually believe this, and even risk their lives for it?"

He Hengfang sighed, "The older people get, the more afraid they become of death. Even if it's just a vague hope, they'll still try it. What if it's true? Immortality is really unlikely, but even if it can prolong life, that's still good."

Lin Chen was speechless and retorted, "Yes, young people may not care, but when you are old and frail, if you are told that there is such a hope, would you give it a try?"
Throughout history, even emperors have been tempted by the allure of immortality, let alone ordinary people.

Who leaked this news?

He Hengfang replied, "I don't know. Anyway, even if you manage to snatch this thing, you can sell it to someone else at a high price if you don't use it yourself. As long as you can snatch it, you won't lose out. That secret meeting was to decide the ownership of the Heavenly Revelation Jade. Who knew that your father would interfere and end up in a bloodbath, causing so many deaths and injuries? Otherwise, if it were just a power struggle among the five forces, the ownership would at most be decided by the strength of the forces, and it wouldn't be so tragic."

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "After my parents disappeared, did the Feng family in Xijing make any moves?"

He Hengfang replied, "Only five powerful families knew about this. No one else knew anything. Besides, your mother didn't even show up at the time, so the Feng family naturally didn't know either."

Lin Chen asked, "Is there anything else I should know?"

He Hengfang thought for a moment and said, "Among the people who were chasing us, the leader of the Chu family was Chu Xuankong. When he came back, he was injured and covered in blood. We asked him if he had killed your father, but he denied it. He said that he had indeed fought with your father and seriously injured him, but your father eventually escaped. As for whether what he said is true or false, you will have to verify it yourself."

Chu Xuankong!
Lin Chen memorized the name: "Okay, I'll call you again if I have any further questions."

He Hengfang laughed and said, "Okay, but you have to hurry. If it's more than a month, I estimate I'll be dead and won't be able to answer your question."

Lin Chen asked curiously, "You were willing to pay a high price for the Heavenly Revelation Jade just now, probably to prolong your life, but why didn't you mention it again later?" He Hengfang smiled bitterly, "I can only talk to you now because your father spared my life back then. If it were someone else, I would try to buy it at a high price, but you are Lin Yuan's son, and you said you wouldn't sell, so naturally I won't force you. It's all fate. Receiving your call in the last moments of my life makes me believe even more that there is a will in the universe."

Lin Chen was silent for a few seconds: "Okay, take good care of yourself."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen disassembled the phone, threw away the SIM card that had only been used once, inserted his own SIM card, and dialed Bat's number.

"Help me investigate two people, Lin Yuan and Feng Lan. Feng Lan is from the Feng family in Xijing. They are husband and wife and disappeared 27 years ago. I need all their information."

Bat exclaimed in surprise, "27 years ago? Brother Jun, they wouldn't have..."

Lin Chen readily admitted, "Yes, it's very likely my parents."

The bat replied crisply, "Okay, I'll check right away!"

Lin Chen thought for a moment: "Wait, also check all the information about the Chu family in Linhai, as well as Chu Xuankong's personal information. The Chu family may be my next enemy."

Bat perked up: "Alright, Brother Jun, shall we help you?"

Lin Chen refused, saying, "What's the rush? You're not like me now. Don't overthink it. If I really need help, I'll call you."

The bat agreed.

Lin Chen squatted by the roadside, lit a cigarette, and gazed at the bustling crowd in the distance, lost in thought.

After finishing his cigarette, Lin Chen stood up, his gaze returning to calm.

Lin Chen was willing to bet that his master definitely knew something, but he gave him the choice, which is why he ran far away and cut off all contact with him.

The person he was engaged to happened to be a member of the Chu family, and moreover, Chu Jiaxue, who had a feud with the Chu family itself.

How could such a coincidence happen in the world?
Chu family!

Since Chu Xuankong is the person we know who last contacted our father, seriously injured him, and may even have killed him, let's start with him, with the Chu family.

Wasn't Chu Jiaxue trying to deal with the Chu family?
Let's not sell the shares. Let's face the challenges together and smash the Chu family to pieces!
