Chapter 1055: Chapter 707 Getting Used to It (1)

"You make it sound... as if that makes sense," she conceded.

It seemed that Mu Lin’s words had reached the ears of several elders.

Mu Lin continued, "Actually, there’s something I’ve always kept from you and haven’t spoken much about." She thought it was about time to reveal it; indeed, there was no longer any need for secrets.

That was about Mi Zheng’s identity.

Originally, Mu Lin intended to handle him herself, but unexpectedly, the matter evolved into its current state; she really couldn’t figure out why Mi Zheng seemed so uninterested in giving his all, what exactly was he collaborating with the Jian Family for?

This was a question worth pondering.

"What’s the matter?" Looking at Mu Lin, Elder Jing Chen asked.

"In fact, I’ve always known who the leader of the Sky Net Organization is," she paused slightly before continuing, "And he and I have crossed paths multiple times." And each time, it was the other party who ended up worse off.

Several elders looked at Mu Lin in surprise, "Girl, are you telling the truth?" Grandpa Jing Chen became somewhat unsettled, "When did this happen?" He hadn’t known about it at all.

Such a dangerous matter...

His gaze immediately shifted to Jing Chen, who raised an eyebrow but said nothing.

His wife didn’t let him speak; what could he do?

In fact, Mu Lin had never explicitly asked Jing Chen to behave a certain way; the understanding between the two was enormously profound!

"Actually, Grandpa, you know him too." It probably amounted to nothing more than a brief meeting, and then, mostly just hearing her mention him.

"Who?" The elder really wanted to know, who had the audacity to harm his precious granddaughter-in-law! He’d like to see if he could not crush them to death!

Mu Lin said, "It’s Mi Zheng."

What!

In that moment, Grandpa Jing Chen was shocked, "How could it be him?" but the next moment, it was as if he suddenly realized something.

No wonder.

"Who is Mi Zheng?" Unlike Grandpa Jing Chen, Grandpa Xue was completely confused, looking at Mu Lin, "Are you talking about the same Mi Family that’s almost on par with your Gong Family, from that line of descent?" The elder’s expression became serious.

They actually didn’t want to meddle too much with that lineage, and basically had little contact with them.

Mu Lin nodded, "That’s correct; Mi Zheng, the third son of the Mi Family, Mi You’s son. My grandfather once mentioned that in the Mi Family, he was so low-key he was almost nonexistent." Who would have thought that such a man would turn out to be the leader of a top assassin organization?

That man seemed to have an inherent evil about him.

"The Mi Family is involved too?" The elder couldn’t help but think so.

If the Mi Family was also involved, then that was truly not good news for them; the more powerful the adversary, the more troublesome the situation would be.

Mu Lin shook her head slightly, "I don’t think so." She looked contemplative before looking up at the three elders, "The relationships between the Mi Family and our Gong Family have always been friendly. I remember my grandfather describing the Family Head of the Mi Family as someone without ambition, just like himself."

Mu Lin trusted her grandfather’s judgment, and of course, she had also interacted with the Mi Family elder. He gave her the same impression as her grandfather’s description, and Mu Lin did not believe that all of that was just a pretext.

It was just like with Mi Zheng; from the very first moment she saw him, Mu Lin felt a deep-rooted aversion.

The elder nodded, "If the head of the Gong Family said so, then it must be true." After all, they were from the same world, and he had absolute trust in Mu Lin.

Grandpa Xue reflected on this, while Grandpa Jing nodded in agreement.

However, the elder’s gaze returned to Mu Lin, "Mu Lin, there’s something I want to confirm with you." Mu Lin nodded, waiting for him to explain further.

"If the Mi Family Head isn’t interested in our political affairs, what about the Tang Family?" The elder actually knew that Mu Lin’s father was also a member of the Tang Family.

The Tang Family!

Those two words made Mu Lin raise her eyebrows in surprise, "Grandpa, have you uncovered something?" Since the Tang Family had come up, she assumed some findings must have been made; otherwise, they wouldn’t bring up the Tang Family for no reason.

Regarding the Tang Family, Mu Lin felt nothing but disgust and probably only hatred remained.

Hearing Mu Lin’s words, both elders looked at the elder, who looked to Zhan Zhong. Zhan Zhong nodded and said, "Actually, we’ve had people investigating anything related to the Tang Family. Originally we were just watching the Jian Family, but unexpectedly, it led to a connection with someone from a semi-hidden aristocratic family."

Frankly, they really didn’t want to get involved with someone from the semi-hidden aristocratic families, because they’d been around too long and it was impossible to uncover all their secrets.

Apart from some overt matters and relationships, there are some covert ones that even they cannot unearth.

Cunning hares have three burrows, not to mention those from the aristocratic family who have lived through countless moments of history.

He then paused before continuing, "In the past few years, our people have always been watching them, but these three years have been much quieter." Unlike previous years, many people died; some events happened too quickly, and they didn’t even have time to defend themselves.

The Jian Family was actually just trying to elevate their own people to that position. Although they were not always successful, they too indeed suffered significant losses, of course, the other side didn’t fare much better.

Deploying troops and tactics, attack is the best defense!

Sometimes, these truths can also be applied to their everyday lives; take the offensive, giving them no time or chance to cause any trouble.

For those who had been on the battlefield, this was all too clear and evident.

With a soft sigh, the elder looked at Mu Lin with a helpless smile, "Linlin, do these matters bore you?" After all, Mu Lin was known for her temper, and the things happening around them were indeed not very pleasant to see or hear.

Mu Lin nodded, "A bit, yes." However, "I’ve gotten used to it." As the saying goes, getting used to it is everything.

After all, the modern world is unlike the jungle she had once lived in, especially since she married into one of the top aristocratic families, the Jing Family.

Perhaps it should even be said that, even before she was born, she had already survived through various conspiracies.

Mu Lin considered that her adaptability was actually quite good.

And now, those concealments were gradually revealing their sharp claws, still lurking in the darkness, waiting to tear their prey to shreds.

The entire ordeal actually surprised the two grandpas somewhat; they hadn’t expected that this incident would involve not only the Network but even a mysterious place within the family.

Those who had always remained hidden and had once given them support from the shadows during wars had now begun to reach for power.

Could this be one of the reasons the elder brought Mu Lin here?

The two grandpas couldn’t help but speculate.

After a pause.

"What do you want Linlin to do?" Grandpa Jing turned to the elder and asked.

After all, if it involved the semi-hidden aristocratic families... the Gong Family, to which Mu Lin belonged, was also among them.

Not to mention that the Gong Family was the head of the family, could it be that they wanted to involve this girl’s family in their current affairs too? Grandpa Jing did not quite agree.

The elder looked at Grandpa Jing and then turned to Mu Lin. "Actually, I just hope Linlin can get the Gong Family to do us a favor."

"What favor?" Mu Lin asked.

"If possible, I would like the Gong Family to keep an eye on the Tang Family for me," the elder said. "If there’s any commotion from their side, I hope they can notify us." The elder was referring to when they were within the family.

After all, they were clear that that place absolutely forbade outsiders from entering. Some matters were not so convenient for them to handle on their own.

Mu Lin nodded, "Sure, I will mention it to Grandpa." Those hypocrites among the main branch of the Tang Family, Mu Lin couldn’t wait to weed them out completely; and with evidence, the Gong Family would be the most qualified to undertake this task.

Although it seemed she too carried the blood of the Tang Family, it was just that... if her father didn’t acknowledge it, then she, of course, had no need to dwell on it.

As if struck by a thought, Mu Lin suddenly turned to the elder, "However, Grandpa, I hope you will also promise me one thing." She almost forgot about it.

"Speak," the elder nodded.

"When everything is over, I hope none of Tang Family’s affairs will involve Tang Qishan in the real world. No matter what other members of the Tang Family have done, all of it should have nothing to do with him." After all, he was the only person with the surname Tang that she recognized as family.

Even though she had never called him uncle from beginning to end, well, she might call him that next time, if there’s an opportunity.

"Agreed," the elder nodded without objection.

He had already reviewed Tang Qishan’s information, and in fact, Tang Qishan really had no relation to the Tang Family; even if Mu Lin hadn’t mentioned it, he was unlikely to get him involved in the matter, just as the relationship between Mu Lin and the Tang Family was.

Sometimes, it’s quite an ordinary affair; some blood relations are better off not acknowledged.

Afterward, Mu Lin conveyed the elder’s message to Grandpa Gong, who stated there was no problem at all.

Actually, even if the elder hadn’t brought it up, he would have kept a close watch on the Tang Family; they wouldn’t be allowed to harm anyone from the Gong Family ever again!
