The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert-Chapter 1371 - 1679: Father and Ancestor

"Dad, are you okay? I want to take you somewhere."

"Where to?"

"Don’t ask too much now, you’ll know when we get there."

After leaving Falcon Private Security Company, the father and son drove straight to the Guo Family. Since they were in Beijing, Ling Chen seized the opportunity to reveal Ling Gengqiu’s secret to Ling Kun. In matters like this, there was no need for the father and son to keep secrets.

Once at the Guo’s, Ling Kun asked strangely, "Son, are you bringing me to see Guo Ming?"

"Dad, you know him?"

"Of course, he’s a renowned master craftsman in the Martial Arts world. Many martial artists wish for Guo Ming to forge a good weapon for them. How could I not know someone as famous as him?"

"Okay, good that you know him." Saying this, Ling Chen pushed open the Guo Family’s door and strode in.

Though Ling Chen and Ling Kun casually entered the Guo Family, they passed at least five checkpoints on their way. There were at least dozens of Dark Posts lurking outside the Guo Family, tasked with verifying the identity of anyone entering. Having received the news, Guo Ming soon appeared in Ling Chen’s sight, and seeing Guo Ming briskly coming over, Ling Chen smiled and greeted him.

"Mr. Guo, let me introduce someone to you, this is my father, Ling Kun."

"So it’s Mr. Ling, hello." Guo Ming smiled lightly and proactively extended his right hand.

"Mr. Guo, hello, I’ve long admired your name and unfortunately haven’t had the chance to meet you. Meeting you today is my honor."

"Haha! Mr. Ling, you’re too kind." Saying this, Guo Ming turned to look at Ling Chen and asked, "Are you here to see him?"

Ling Chen nodded and said, "Is he awake now?"

"He’s awake, I just returned from him. Come, I’ll take you there."

Listening to the exchange between Ling Chen and Guo Ming, Ling Kun was rather curious, not knowing who they were referring to. Moreover, what surprised Ling Kun was how his son had built such a good relationship with Guo Ming. Over the years, all of Ling Chen’s moves had been under his supervision, so logically, he shouldn’t have been unaware. As these thoughts raced through his mind, the three had arrived at the Guo Family’s secret laboratory.

Looking at the laboratory before him, Ling Kun was once again shocked. No time for questions, he saw Guo Ming stop and point at the sterile room ahead: "You can go in, I won’t disturb you. I’ll go ahead and prepare some tea, we’ll drink it later."

"Alright," Ling Chen responded.

After watching Guo Ming walk away, Ling Chen led Ling Kun through the door into the sterile room. Behind the thick transparent glass, Ling Kun stared, seeing a strange large metal box inside the sterile room, not knowing what it held.

"Who is this person?" At this moment, a row of text appeared on a large screen hanging at the top of the glass.

Ling Kun, surprised, asked, "Son, who is asking?"

"Son? Ling Chen, is this man your father?"

Seeing the words on the large screen, Ling Chen smiled and nodded, "Yes, he’s my dad."

"So, he’s also my descendant."

"Who do you mean by descendant?" Ling Kun’s face changed slightly, shouting at the words on the screen.

Ling Chen, amused but exasperated, explained, "Dad, why are you so worked up, he isn’t wrong. You are indeed his descendant."

Ling Kun paused, looking puzzled at Ling Chen, and asked, "Son, are you out of your mind?"

"Dad, let me be frank, the person communicating with you is Ling Gengqiu, the ancestor you’ve been searching for."

"What did you say? Ling Gengqiu?" Even with his strong will, Ling Kun was stunned by Ling Chen’s words, unable to react for a while.

"Dad, here’s the situation." Ling Chen then explained everything to Ling Kun. After listening to Ling Chen’s recount, Ling Kun finally understood. Immediately, he knelt down on the ground, respectfully knocking three times on the glass, "I didn’t know who you were earlier. Please forgive me if I’ve offended you, ancestor."

"Stand up, there’s no need for such formalities in my presence."

Standing up, Ling Kun moved closer to Ling Chen, grumbling slightly, "You rascal, why didn’t you tell me beforehand so I could be emotionally prepared."

Ling Chen grinned, "Wasn’t this meant as a surprise?"

Ling Kun scolded his son affectionately, this surprise was quite significant.

"Dad, you should have a good chat with Old Ancestor; I won’t intrude on you guys." After saying that, Ling Chen waved his hand and turned to leave the sterile room.

Upon leaving the laboratory, Ling Chen arrived at the Siheyuan’s main hall, where Guo Ming had already prepared hot tea and was waiting for him.

"Ling Chen, have any more of Ling Gengqiu’s body parts been found?"

Upon Guo Ming’s inquiry, Ling Chen replied, "If nothing unexpected happens, there should soon be results. However, I haven’t found Zhu Hong’s whereabouts yet. Old Ancestor’s leg is in his hands, no idea where he’s hidden it." That’s what troubled Ling Chen; having dealt with Zhu Hong many times, he knew how cunning Zhu Hong was. With his own faction now booming, Zhu Hong certainly wouldn’t challenge him head-on. He would likely hide in a secluded place, slowly strengthening, waiting for the right moment to covertly strike.

In the midst of these thoughts, his cellphone suddenly rang. He answered the call, and though it was unclear what the person on the other end said, Ling Chen’s eyes brightened, "Okay, got it. Prepare yourselves, I’m coming back soon."

Ending the call, Ling Chen chatted casually with Guo Ming for a while. Ten minutes later, Ling Kun entered from the outside alone, seeming to have had a pleasant chat with Ling Gengqiu judging by his smile.

"Dad, you’re just in time, there’s a matter at home I need to address. Let’s head back now."

"Alright." Ling Kun nodded, thanked Guo Ming, and then left with Ling Chen.

On the way back, Ling Chen glanced at Ling Kun in the passenger seat and asked, "Dad, what did you talk to Ling Gengqiu about?"

"Just about his past. Son, since Ling Gengqiu’s most important body parts are with us, we need to find a way to gather the rest quickly."

"The company called earlier, some from the Southern Ling Family have reached out to Li Bin. With this lead, this time we should be able to handle the Southern Ling Family."

"Good," Ling Kun responded eagerly, "Once the Southern Ling Family is taken care of and Old Ancestor is resurrected, our Ling Family’s good times are finally here. After all these years, I can finally relax and enjoy an ordinary life by your side."
