Chapter 156: Chapter 176: Do You Know Your Own Background? _1

"Brother Jun, the matter you asked me to look into has results now."

In the office, Lin Chen straightened up in his chair and said with a smile, "What’s the situation?"

"It’s hard to say, I’ll send you the information, it involves a major event in the Cultivation World. Does this have anything to do with you, Brother Jun?"

Lin Chen didn’t need to hide anything from Bat, after all, his orphan background was well-known among the team members.

"This is the jade pendant I had on me when my master picked me up. I only found it again recently."

Bat exclaimed in surprise, "Does it have anything to do with your background... Brother Jun, I’ll send you the information. I’m afraid your background is not simple."

"Alright, let me take a look first."

Bat said enthusiastically, "If you need any help, just say the word."

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Alright."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen received the information sent by Bat and began to read it carefully.

There wasn’t much information, it was vague, but it involved a major event in the Cultivation World twenty-seven years ago.

years ago, multiple cultivation forces secretly gathered at Jiuhua Mountain Sun Bay Resort. The theme of the gathering was unclear, but violent conflicts broke out during it. That night, dozens of people were killed or injured.

According to an insider, the cause of the conflict was a dispute over a jade pendant. Based on their description, it was the one Lin Chen had.

Lin Chen was secretly shocked. The jade pendant in his hand could actually cause many cultivation forces to fight for it, even resorting to violence. What big secret did this jade pendant involve?

Lin Chen was secretly relieved that he hadn’t publicly posted information about the jade pendant online, otherwise, he might have already brought great catastrophe upon himself.

If the jade pendant they fought for was indeed the one he had, were his parents also part of the disputing parties at the meeting that day?

Lin Chen continued to read and finally saw a name.

He Hengfang.

He Hengfang was one of the injured in that meeting. His identity was special. He was a prestigious philanthropist, so his case was specially recorded.

Behind the information, there was all the information about He Hengfang collected by Spider.

After reading all the information, Lin Chen lit a cigarette and began to think.

In that conflict, He Hengfang was seriously injured and went abroad for treatment. He is now eighty-four years old, living overseas. To find out about the jade, He Hengfang might be a breakthrough point.

Lin Chen got up and left the office.

Through special channels, he bought a batch of unregistered phone cards. Lin Chen inserted one of the cards and dialed He Hengfang’s number.

"Is this old sir He Hengfang?"

He Hengfang’s voice was old and weak, "Yes, who is this?"

Lin Chen calmly replied, "You can call me Mr. C. I’d like to ask you about something."

He Hengfang coughed twice and asked, "What is it?"

"27 years ago, at Jiuhua Mountain Sun Bay Resort, the night you were injured, what happened?"

He Hengfang’s voice suddenly became clearer and more serious, "Who are you and why are you asking about this?"

Lin Chen paused for two seconds, "The jade is in my possession."

He Hengfang asked, "What kind of jade?"

Lin Chen answered, "A jade pendant engraved with the word ’Qi,’ written in the ancient seal script from the Western Wei Dynasty."

He Hengfang’s voice suddenly became excited, "Heaven Opening Jade! Is the Heaven Opening Jade in your hands?"

Heaven Opening Jade?

Lin Chen made an affirmative sound, "Yes."

He Hengfang suddenly became excited, "Are you selling this jade? I’ll pay a high price."

Lin Chen was slightly surprised. He Hengfang didn’t ask any details and immediately asked if he was selling, which meant that the value of this jade had not disappeared with the passage of twenty-seven years.

Lin Chen asked calmly, "What price are you willing to pay?"

"One billion, how about it?"

Lin Chen was shocked. Even the most expensive jade couldn’t possibly be worth a billion. That meant that the jade’s value was mostly additional value.

He Hengfang heard Lin Chen’s silence and thought he was not satisfied, and without hesitation raised the price, "Two billion, no, Mr. C, you name your price, how about that?"

Lin Chen thought for a moment, "I’m not selling this jade. I came to you not to sell things, but to find out the truth about what happened."

He Hengfang fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "You sound very young, you have the Heaven Opening Jade in your hand, and you’re asking about the truth. Could it be that you’re Lin Yuan’s son or relative?"

Lin Chen was surprised. Was this Lin Yuan his father?

After all, it was an unregistered phone card, and Lin Chen wasn’t afraid of being traced back, "I don’t know who my parents are, but I had this jade on me when I was adopted."

He Hengfang asked, "Are you twenty-seven years old this year?"

"Yes."

He Hengfang sighed, "Then there’s no mistake, you are Lin Yuan’s son. Do you know your background?"

Lin Chen replied honestly, "I don’t know. Can you tell me?"

He Hengfang whispered, "Your father’s name is Lin Yuan, and your mother’s name is Feng Lan..."
