The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 395 Eternal Youth, Rejuvenation?
When I saw Ma Yangpeng again, it was already evening that day.

Ma Yangpeng got a haircut, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes. Although he looked a little thin and listless, he was completely different from the man chained up in the basement.

Lin Chen glanced at Ma Wencai standing next to Ma Yangpeng, his gaze turning somewhat strange.

Ma Yangpeng is Ma Wencai's father. Logically speaking, Ma Yangpeng is at least twenty years older than Ma Wencai, but when the two stand together, Ma Wencai, the son, looks more like Ma Yangpeng's father.

Lin Chen couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Ma, how old are you this year?"

Ma Yangpeng replied with a smile, "Eighty-six."

Lin Chen was shocked.

Eighty-six-year-old Ma Yangpeng looks like he's only in his forties, a typical middle-aged man. His skin is not sagging, his complexion is rosy, and his hair is black without a single gray hair. In contrast, Ma Wencai, who is in his sixties, has much thinner hair, and there are some gray hairs mixed in, making him look much older.

It's like turning you back in time!

Lin Chen exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. Ma, you've really aged well!"

Ma Yangpeng laughed and said, "Perhaps my constitution is a bit special, but I still have to thank Mr. Lin. If it weren't for your miraculous medical skills, I'm afraid I would have lived my whole life in a daze. In the blink of an eye, I've been insane for more than twenty years..."

Lin Chen tentatively asked, "Mr. Ma, could you tell me how you got this illness? I've never seen a disease like yours before. I just tried anything, and it just so happened that I was cured."

Ma Yangpeng smiled slightly: "It's been too long, and I can't remember it very clearly. I just remember that when I went to Cangshan to do some business, I walked through a forest. The forest smelled very good, and then my memory ended there. When I woke up again, it was already today."

Lin Chen said "Oh," and guessed, "Maybe there's some kind of hallucinogenic substance in that forest. You inhaled it when you passed by, and that's how you got trapped in that hallucination."

"may be."

Ma Yangpeng smiled and asked in return, "Mr. Lin, your treatment method is very unique, completely different from those of other doctors. What is the principle behind it?"

Lin Chen laughed and said, "I don't understand the principle either, since it seems quite mystical. But I guess that a person's mental threshold is limited. By using fear to increase the feeling of fear until it exceeds this threshold, it's like a balloon that is constantly being inflated until it bursts, thus breaking the illusion and making people wake up."

Ma Yangpeng frowned and said, "If it exceeds the threshold, is it possible that they will go completely insane and become incurable?"

Lin Chen frankly said, "The human brain has a self-protection mechanism. When faced with something unacceptable, it will automatically protect itself. For example, your fainting at the end is a manifestation of self-protection. But I can't say for sure that everything will be alright. After all, you've been alive for over twenty years. We can only try."

Ma Yangpeng smiled and said, "Fortunately, I was lucky. Anyway, thank you, Mr. Lin, you saved me."

Lin Chen smiled and said, "You're welcome."

Ma Yangpeng turned his head and said, "I'm a little tired, I'm going to sleep for a while. Wencai, you must take good care of Mr. Lin, he's my great benefactor." Ma Wencai smiled and said, "That's for sure."

Lin Chen watched Ma Yangpeng's retreating figure, pondering the conversation they had just had.

A fragrant forest?
Recalling what Ma Yangpeng had said about the entrance in the basement, Lin Chen felt that Ma Yangpeng had probably lied to him and was hiding something.

During the day, when Lin Chen was bored, he inexplicably remembered what Gao Zhengqiu had told him about the Unknown Land.

Gao Zhengqiu once said that the unknowable places are hidden in the world, but you cannot find the entrance to them without a special key.

Ma Yangpeng was eighty-six years old, but he looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. This strange thing made Lin Chen think about it.

Unknown lands... Immortality... Longevity...

It seems there are indeed many legendary places in this world that are unknown to most people.

Speaking of which, the Apocalypse Jade on my body might also be a key to some unknown place?
However, neither Chu Xuankong nor Gao Zhengqiu knew the specific uses of the Heavenly Revelation Jade.

This made Lin Chen somewhat resentful. He didn't even know what it was or how to use it, yet they were fighting tooth and nail for it.

Lin Chen stayed at the Ma family's house for another night, declined Ma Youcai's offer to stay, and embarked on his journey home.

Although Lin Chen was very curious about Ma Yangpeng's true experiences, their conversation was so confidential that Lin Chen knew he couldn't possibly know the truth, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

Lin Chen mentioned the matter of buying medicine to Ma Wencai, and Ma Wencai readily agreed, saying that no matter what kind of medicine was needed, it was just a matter of making a phone call and saying a few words.

After making his promise, Ma Wencai immediately stuffed another large bag of cultivation-aid pills into Lin Chen's hands, displaying the generosity of a pharmaceutical family.

My Ma family has no shortage of medicine!

Lin Chen took a plane back to Linhai. As he walked out of the airport, he saw Zuo Yingying, wearing sunglasses, leaning against the railing and smiling at him.

"Why did you come? Didn't I tell you you didn't need to make a special trip?"

Zuo Yingying said with a smile, "I have no choice, I'm here on official orders to pick you up..."
