The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 412 She was blinded by love.

Feng Yuanhua stared intently at Lin Chen, without uttering a word.

Du Pingyue's lips trembled, as if she wanted to say something, but she managed to utter a single sentence, her eyes gleaming with excitement.

Lin Chen stood calmly, neither humble nor arrogant, neither sad nor happy.

Lin Chen knew they had recognized him, after all, he looked at least seven or eight parts like his father, and at this moment, he was about the same age as his father when he first met the two old men.

Feng Yazhen was stunned. She looked at Feng Yuanhua, then at Du Pingyue: "Dad, Mom, what's wrong with you two?"

Feng Yuanhua took a deep breath and stood up: "Who are you?"

Lin Chen calmly replied, "Lin Chen."

Du Pingyue gasped and quickly walked over, grabbing Lin Chen's arm and staring intently at his face: "Lin Yuan is yours?"

Lin Chen calmly replied, "Lin Yuan is my father, and Feng Lan is my mother."

Feng Yazhen suddenly stood up from the sofa, staring at Lin Chen in surprise: "You're Second Sister's son?"

Lin Chen nodded slightly, but said nothing more.

That's true about blood relations, but whether they're actually family is still uncertain.

"They look so alike...it's like they were made from the same mold. I almost thought I was seeing Kobayashi just now. He stood in the sunlight like this back then, and even his expression was almost exactly the same..."

Du Pingyue's eyes reddened, and tears streamed down her face: "Child, where are your parents? Didn't they come? Those two heartless people, they've been gone for so many years, and the child is so grown up, yet they still can't bear to come back and see us?"

Lin Chen's heart skipped a beat, and his expression changed slightly.

Judging from her tone, Du Pingyue seemed to know nothing about the attack on her daughter and son-in-law.

Just as the Chu family said, the Feng family had no idea that their father had seized the Heavenly Revelation Jade and was subsequently attacked!
Upon closer reflection, it does seem to make some sense.

The five sects that participated in the struggle for the Heavenly Revelation Jade at Mount Jiuhua were all quite powerful, but none could compare to the Feng family. If the Feng family found out that they were hunting down Feng Lan and Lin Yuan, how could they possibly let it go?
The five sects kept their mouths shut, and the Five Dragons Sect, which mysteriously appeared later, naturally wouldn't say anything either. It's entirely possible that the Feng family didn't know what happened afterward!
Lin Chen's mind raced, and he decided not to tell them the truth about what happened back then.

"I haven't seen them." Upon hearing this, the three members of the Feng family all changed color. Feng Yuanhua frowned and said, "What do you mean by that?"

Lin Chen replied, "I was raised by my master since I was a child. I have never met my parents. I only recently learned about my background from my master."

Du Pingyue's voice trembled: "You've never seen your parents since you were a child?"

Lin Chen nodded: "Yes."

Before they could ask any further questions, Lin Chen spoke up, “I grew up with my master. I served in the army for five years. After I returned from military service, I saw a message from my master and learned about my background. According to my master’s message, they were taken back to the place where my father was born. I am visiting you today in the hope of finding out about my father’s background from you.”

Lin Chen half-truthfully presented his search for the truth as a story told by his master, and deliberately steered the conversation toward his father's background.

Lin Chen firmly believed that the two elderly people must know something about his father. After all, according to Du Pingyue, his father had met them. It was impossible for him to have seduced their daughter without saying anything.

Feng Yuanhua's expression changed slightly. He sighed and did not answer Lin Chen's question. Instead, he asked, "Who is your master? Is he a cultivator?"

Lin Chen replied, "Xue Ershan knows some martial arts and some medical skills. I trained with him for a few years, which is why I later joined the army."

Xue Ershan was Xue Kuangren's real name. Perhaps it was because the name was too rustic that he changed it to Xue Kuangren. Later, Xue Kuangren became quite famous, and naturally no one remembered the name Xue Ershan.

Du Pingyue wiped away her tears and pulled Lin Chen to sit down on the sofa: "Child, you've suffered! Now that you know about your background, you should know that he is your maternal grandfather, I am your maternal grandmother, and this is your aunt..."

Lin Chen hesitated for a moment, then slowly nodded.

Yes, blood ties are indeed indistinguishable.

Du Pingyue held Lin Chen's hand tightly, and said sadly, "Your troublesome parents are heartless. Even if they really have some insurmountable difficulties and can't take care of the child, they should have sent the child back to us to take care of him. How could they be so heartless as to leave him to an outsider!"

Feng Yuanhua suddenly said angrily, "We should have brought her back in the first place. It was you who stopped us. Now look what's happened. She hardened her heart and ran off with someone else, leaving the child to be raised by a stranger. In her heart, we, as parents, are probably not even as good as a stranger..."

Lin Chen asked softly, "Do you know where they went?"

Feng Yuanhua replied angrily, "Where else could she have gone? To your dad's place, of course! Is that a place for ordinary people? I'm telling you, she's just blinded by love!"
