Chapter 1608: Chapter 1913: Family Reunion (Part 2)
"Mrs. Jiang."
"Ling Chen, I have to thank you. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have been able to see Wanqing and Little Hao in this lifetime."
Ling Chen smiled and said, "Mrs. Jiang, please don’t say that. This is what I should do." He paused for a moment, then shifted the topic, "Mrs. Jiang, can you tell me about that organization? I heard from Wanqing that you left when they were children and have been out of contact ever since. Have you been with that organization all these years?"
Jiang Yue’e replied, "It’s a long story, we’ll talk about it slowly when we have time." At this point, she turned to Nanrong Wanqing and asked, "Have you been in contact with the Jiang family over the years?"
Nanrong Wanqing shook her head and said, "No, basically cut off contact. Two years ago the Jiang family sought me out once, I refused to go back with them, they forcibly abducted me. If it weren’t for Ling Chen’s rescue, I might not have been able to return. Mom, the Jiang family treated us like that, do you still want to go back?"
"No matter what, I’m still part of the Jiang family, and..." Jiang Yue’e sighed softly, "Some things can’t be explained in a few words. Don’t worry, nothing will happen to me when I go back this time, they..."
"Mrs. Jiang," Ling Chen interrupted, "if you’re considering returning to the Jiang family, I advise you to reconsider."
"Why?"
"The Jiang family no longer exists. I went to the Jiang family not long ago regarding your matter and found no one there, only large swathes of bloodstains. Blood analysis showed that all ten plus members of the Jiang family should be dead, but their bodies weren’t found. I always found it strange, just who entered the Jiang family, killed them all, and left no survivors."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yue’e’s face changed involuntarily. She quickly stood up from the sofa, hurried to Ling Chen’s side, and asked urgently, "You say...the Jiang family is all dead?"
"Yes." Ling Chen nodded.
For a moment, Jiang Yue’e’s complexion turned extremely pale, with no trace of color on her lips. "Dead... they’re all dead... I warned them not to do such things, yet they still..."
Seeing Jiang Yue’e mumbling to herself, Nanrong Wanqing and Nanrong Hao couldn’t help but worry. They quickly moved to her side, each holding one of her arms, "Mom, the dead can’t come back, don’t be too sad."
Ling Chen looked at Jiang Yue’e, "Mrs. Jiang, I suspect the Jiang family’s deaths might be related to the organization that kidnapped you."
"You mean them?" After pondering for a while, Jiang Yue’e suddenly shook her head, "No, it wouldn’t be them, they wouldn’t do that."
"You’re so sure?"
Jiang Yue’e calmed her mood and said, "I can’t guarantee anything else, but I can be sure of this." Hearing her say this, Ling Chen opened his mouth, preparing to ask further. However, before he could speak, Jiang Yue’e rubbed her temples and said, "I’m a bit tired now, Wanqing, Little Hao, take me back to rest first."
"Alright." Nanrong Wanqing responded immediately, promptly having Nanrong Hao prepare the car.
Accompanying Jiang Yue’e onto the car, Ling Chen hesitated for a moment but did not get into the Rolls-Royce. Instead, he joined Zhong Wei in the Land Rover in front. It was a rare reunion for their family of three, presumably with much to say. While he and Nanrong Wanqing were in a relationship, they weren’t family, so it was better to leave them some private space.
Before the convoy set off, Ling Gengqiu hadn’t shown up, unaware of where he had gone.
Returning to the Nanrong family house, Nanrong Wanqing and Nanrong Hao escorted Jiang Yue’e to her room. Zhong Wei, following Nanrong Wanqing’s instructions, went to invite Nanrong Yong over. Jiang Yue’e’s return to the Nanrong family was undoubtedly a big event.
Ling Chen stood at the door, quietly leaning against the doorframe, listening to the Nanrong family’s chit-chat, with a slight smile on his face.
He had thought rescuing Jiang Yue’e would be troublesome but hadn’t expected it to be so easy. Regarding the people contacting him and sending Jiang Yue’e back, Ling Chen believed the man in the suit wasn’t lying—the other side didn’t want to provoke him. A few days ago, that group attacked the base and got heavily taught a lesson. Judging by their reaction, they didn’t seem to recognize him, hence their reckless intrusion.
At that time, a hacker breached the base’s surveillance system and learned his appearance. If he’s guessed correctly, those people must have secretly investigated his identity. Because of this, they decided to send Jiang Yue’e back.
Smart people! Ling Chen chuckled to himself, this was his evaluation of that group.
Now, with the power he holds, aside from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, who dares to challenge him? Whether in terms of the number of Dragon Tiger Hall members or the experts on the Heavenly List, he far exceeds other martial arts forces. Anyone with a little bit of sense wouldn’t want to be his enemy.
However, he was quite interested in that organization and eager to understand more. Unfortunately, Jiang Yue’e wouldn’t say much; she just reunited with her family, so he couldn’t spoil the atmosphere. For now, he could only wait for the right opportunity to ask Jiang Yue’e. Additionally, there was the matter of the Jiang family’s fate.
Previously, at the Hongyu Group, from Jiang Yue’e’s tone, she seemed to know the reason for the Jiang family’s slaughter but didn’t say it.
Recalling when he first established a relationship with Nanrong Wanqing, Ling Chen heard a lot about Nanrong Yuan and Jiang Yue’e’s affairs. Not only was Nanrong Yuan capable, but Jiang Yue’e was also a strong woman, not the feeble type. From today’s interaction, she seemed like someone with deep thoughts.
As he pondered, he heard Nanrong Yong’s voice coming from the living room, "Ling Chen, what are you doing outside? Come in."
"Coming!" Ling Chen responded and strode inside.
Upon entering the living room, he saw Nanrong Wanqing and Nanrong Hao sitting on either side of Jiang Yue’e, while Nanrong Yong sat on the single sofa opposite them, all smiling. Obviously, the reunion after so many years made everyone very happy.
As Ling Chen approached, Nanrong Wanqing’s delicate face inexplicably flushed, charming and shy, with a hint of joy in her eyes.
Ling Chen, however, didn’t notice much and walked up to them, asking, "Old sir, what do you need me for?"
Nanrong Yong smiled and said, "I just told Yue’e that you’re Wanqing’s boyfriend, so I brought you over for a chat."
Hearing this, Ling Chen couldn’t help but glance at Jiang Yue’e next to him with the corner of his eyes, who was looking at him with a smile.
"Ling Chen, I just heard from Wanqing about many things you’ve done. I’m really grateful for you helping her time and again. If it weren’t for you, the Nanrong family might not have today’s success."
