Ye Chen’s pupils shrank slightly. This person was also that person who told him about Lin Juelong last time. It seemed that he had no other choice but to seek this person out.
“Lei Shuwei, can you help me contact that person? I want to see him.” Ye Chen said after making up his mind.
He had thought that it would be rather difficult to arrange, so Lei Shuwei’s reply surprised him.
“Mr. Ye, perfect timing. That person wants to see you too. At ten o’clock tomorrow morning, a car will pick you up from Capital City University. Do you have time?”
“If you don’t, then it might have to be postponed for a few weeks.”
Ye Chen thought for a few seconds and agreed, “Alright, tomorrow then.”
The call ended there.
Ye Chen was not too surprised that that person wanted to see him. The Ghost Prison had been broken into, and with the earthquake incident at Capital City University, there had been a huge commotion. Someone was bound to contact him regarding this matter. It was just that Ye Chen had not expected it to be this person.
Once Ye Chen had hung up, Jiang Rong asked curiously, “Any news?”
Ye Chen nodded.
“Mom, don’t worry. If Lin Juelong dares to touch Dad, I’ll make him regret it for the rest of his life!”
Jiang Rong looked out of the window and fell into a state of deep thought.
’T hope the Lin family didn’t harm your father. I really don’t understand Your father is just an ordinary person. If the Lin family wanted something, they should have abducted me instead.”
When Ye Chen heard this, the first thing he thought of was the black stone in his pocket.
The Samsara Graveyard had a hundred ancient mighty experts. Its existence alone would be enough to incite a great war within Huaxia, and perhaps even beyond. The most surprising thing was that he had gotten this thing from his father.
However, according to the information he had gathered along the way, Lin Juelong was unaware of the existence of the black stone. Thus, it was more like he was looking for something else.
Could it be that there were some secrets hidden about the Ye family?
Thinking this, he asked his mother, “Mom, does our family have a genealogy? Why haven’t I seen my grandfather, grandmother, and other Ye family members?”
Jiang Rong shook her head.
“Your grandparents passed away quite early. As far as I know, they were just ordinary people. They were considered wealthy a few decades ago, but I don’t know much else.”
“Then, do you think there’s something strange about the Ye family in River City? Or was there a mysterious place they owned? Also, did the Ye family have ancient books or records?”
Jiang Rong did not know the reason for Ye Chen’s question but she still thought about it carefully. Suddenly, she thought of something and said, “There are a few special things of note. First, you and your father are not from River City at all. Second, your grandparents passed away together as if they had agreed on it, and there was no sign of ill health at all.”
“Thirdly, their funeral ceremony was a little special. A group of strangers came that day in strange attire. They said that according to the rules of the Ye family they were going to be buried in the place where they were born. They said a few words to your father, and showed him a letter that your grandfather left behind when he was alive. In the end, your father allowed them to take away the ashes.”
Ye Chen frowned when he heard his mother’s words.
He had a vague feeling that the Ye family of River City had deceived everyone! His mother’s spiritual root and bloodline were heaven-defying. If his father really had the bloodline and spiritual roots of an ordinary person, then his own bloodline and talent would definitely be affected.
However, based on what the few ancient mighty experts in the Samsara Graveyard had said, although his cultivation level was lacking, he did not have mortal roots at all. Instead, his spiritual roots even surpassed his mother’s! However, in that case, why was his father not a cultivator or martial artist? Could it be that his father has been hiding the truth?
That could not be it either!
The love between his father and mother had been opposed by the Jiang family. If his father really loved his mother, he would definitely have revealed his strength!
From this, it could be seen that his father really did not know anything!
The more Ye Chen thought about it, the more troubled he felt. He scratched his head. Seeing Ye Chen’s reaction, Jiang Rong said, “Little Chen, don’t think about it too much. Come with me to buy some groceries. Make me something to eat at noon. I haven’t tasted your cooking yet.”
Although she was also worried about Ye Tianzheng, she firmly believed that nothing would happen to her husband.
Ye Chen tossed aside the frustration in his heart and nodded. “Alright.”
At the same time, in the Lin family’s residence, in an ancient-looking building…
Ye Tianzheng was trapped here.
However, the Lin family did not use any chains or bindings to restrain him. The door was wide open as well.
From the Lin family’s perspective, they were not worried about him running away. &
Ye Tianzheng had naturally tried to escape, but every time he took a few steps out of the building, a powerful formation would be activated and restrain him. The more he ran, the more serious his injuries became!
He even vomited blood and fainted a few times!
In the end, he gave up, and placed all of his hopes on Ye Chen.
Since Ye Chen had rescued him once, he would naturally find this place sooner or later.
It was only a matter of time!
Not long after, the half-closed door was pushed open, and Lin Juelong walked in.
His body exuded an extremely powerful aura, and Ye Tianzheng felt his breathing quicken and felt very uncomfortable when Lin Juelong approached. Lin Juelong walked over to the window and stretched out his arm. A gray bird outside the window flew into his palm.
He did not look at Ye Tianzheng, but said lightly, “Don’t you think you look like this bird? Trapped in the hands of the Lin family?”
Ye Tianzheng snorted coldly and said nothing.
Lin Juelong continued, “The Lin family can control the fate of most people in Huaxia. You are no exception to this, and neither is your wife. Even that old man from the Jiang Family is no exception.”
“In my opinion, you’re not even as lucky as this bird. If you didn’t have something I wanted, this might have been your ending.”
The very next second, Lin Juelong clenched his hand, and the struggling bird turned into a bloody mist.
Lin Juelong stretched out his blood-covered hand. He looked at it and sneered, “Ye Tianzheng, I will ask you one last time.. Before your father died, did he give you any instructions? Or did he give you something? If you don’t tell me, you’ll end up just like that bird! My patience has a limit!”
