Chapter 885: Chapter 885

"I’ve said everything that needs to be said. Is there anything else you want to know?" Mr. Lin lifted the steaming coffee and asked.

"There’s one more thing." Ling Chen said, "Since you know so much about my mother, you should know who she is, her name, and... are my grandparents still alive?"

"Your mother’s surname is Yang, her name is Yang Qingling. The Yang Family is also a prominent family in the south, running a large enterprise with businesses across the country. However, twenty years ago, shortly after you and your father were expelled from the Ling Family, the Yang Family sold all their assets at a low price to the Ling Family. As for your grandfather and grandmother, after selling their family estate, they chose to emigrate and have since settled abroad. I’m not sure exactly where. If you want to find them, I suggest you check with the immigration office; you might find some clues related to them."

"I will." With that, Ling Chen shifted the topic, asking, "Is the head of the Ling Family from back then still alive?"

Mr. Lin looked at Ling Chen, half smiling, and asked back, "Why? Are you thinking of seeking revenge? If that’s what you have in mind, I advise you to forget about it. Over a decade ago, he died due to a serious illness and unsuccessful rescue attempts. Now, even his bones would have turned to dust."

"Dead?" Ling Chen frowned slightly and said, "The Ling Family took over the God Organization, with so many medical resources at their disposal, and yet you couldn’t even save someone with a severe illness?"

"Things aren’t as simple as you think. The God Organization does indeed have many medical resources, but when the Ling Family initially took over the God Organization, it was a mess, with too many issues to handle. The Ling Family spent a lot of effort and resources to gradually get the God Organization on the right track. Only in the last decade or so has the Ling Family focused on research and development. The enhancement drugs you see and other products are results of these years of research. If the family head had held on for a few more years, he might have survived with the God Organization’s special medicine."

"Alright, I won’t ask about these things for now, but there is one thing you must seriously tell me." Ling Chen looked directly into Mr. Lin’s eyes, speaking deliberately.

Feeling Ling Chen’s seriousness, Mr. Lin suddenly laughed and asked, "Have you looked at that top-secret document?"

"Correct!" Ling Chen nodded and said, "What I want to know is, are the contents of that top-secret document true or false?"

"I guessed as much." Mr. Lin smiled and said, "Anyone who reads its contents would probably have doubts like you. However, I have no say in this matter."

"Although that document is top secret, among the core members within the Ling Family, this is no secret. Ling Chen, do you think that because I’m a high-ranking official in the God Organization, I must know all the secrets?" Without waiting for Ling Chen to reply, Mr. Lin continued, "If that’s what you think, then you’re gravely mistaken. I’m a high-ranking official in the God Organization, but that doesn’t mean I’m a high-ranking member within the Ling Family. I can tell you that within the Ling Family, I’m merely a peripheral figure, never reaching the core. So, the real secrets can only be accessed by core members of the Ling Family. Take the very topic you’re asking about, for instance; I’m qualified to know about this document, but not about whether it’s true or false — that is the inner core secret of the Ling Family."

"You’ve been with the Ling Family for so many years and served the God Organization for so long, even if no one told you, you should have heard some rumors."

"If you’re asking like that, then I can only say... there’s a mix of truth and exaggeration. The content recorded in that top-secret document has both real and exaggerated parts. However, you should know from reading the document that even if part of it is true, it would be enough to shock the world. Ling Chen, take my advice, you’ve seen the top-secret document, but please don’t spread it freely. Otherwise, be careful not to burn yourself."

"Are you giving me a reminder or a warning?"

"Both." Mr. Lin said, "You should understand now why Miss Lin let you know the contents of that top-secret document. It’s not that she doesn’t care, but that she’s not afraid, because she knows. Even if you disseminate the contents of that document, no one would believe it; instead, they’d treat you as a madman, because the contents are too astounding, and modern scientific views would never believe such things could happen."

Pausing slightly, Mr. Lin continued in a guiding tone, "Ling Chen, to speak frankly, you are very much like your father. Only, you act with more principles than your father. Of course, this isn’t your father’s fault. If not for the family head’s training back then, your father wouldn’t have turned out that way. Nevertheless, both of you are exceptionally talented, being top experts at such a young age, which is very rare. The Ling Family lacks vision; they foolishly kept a genius out. If they hadn’t expelled you and your father back then, in three or four decades, the Ling Family would have had two more experts on the Heavenly List. Compete against your mother’s family industry; two experts on the Heavenly List are much more valuable. So unfortunate, really!"

"There’s nothing unfortunate about it, as long as the Ling Family continues to be obstinate and oppressive, eventually they’ll end up deserted by everyone. Just wait and see, the good days for the Ling Family are about to end."

"You underestimate the Ling Family. I told you before, the Ling Family is not merely a commercial family. Over the years, the Ling Family has developed rapidly, with hidden power that is incredibly terrifying. Once you start a war against the Ling Family, you’ll be the one at a disadvantage."

"There’s nothing certain in this world. Mr. Lin, I know you have great confidence in the Ling Family, otherwise, you wouldn’t have said so much to me. But I want to tell you, where there’s a will, there’s a way. The Ling Family has done too many wrong things, and if people learn that the Ling Family is secretly controlling the God Organization, how many enemies do you think will seek revenge?"

"You can try. Anyway, I’ve said all that needs to be said."

"Alright." Ling Chen stood up and said, "Then take your rest, and I won’t disturb you anymore. In a couple of days, I’ll contact Miss Lin to have someone pick you up."

After saying this, Ling Chen didn’t linger any longer and turned to leave the room.

Returning to the control center, looking at the busy Hu Fei and Tang Guolun, Ling Chen asked, "Fatty, did you find out who that Lin Qiqi really is?"

Without turning his head, Hu Fei stared at the document on the computer screen and said, "I’ve checked, there’s no such name. Additionally, I’ve carefully checked all the members of the Ling Family and didn’t find a woman of a similar age. I suspect she has hidden her identity."
