Su Lin has been away from home for more than half a month for an internship, the chick is not at home, the home is much more deserted than usual, and Ling Chen still misses her. However, this chick doesn't know her mobile phone number, so why don't she call herself directly, she has to trouble Nan Rong Wanqing.

Picking up the phone, Ling Chen fed, only to hear Su Lin's sweet voice coming from the other end of the phone: "Future brother-in-law, I'm not at home, do you and Wanqing enjoy the world of the two?"

"That's it. Ling Chen replied with a smile: "If you want me to say, don't come back to hinder us in the future." ”

Nan Rong Wanqing, who was on the side, heard this and looked at him with disgust.

"You're thinking beautifully. Tell you, Miss Ben has a month to go back, you'd better cherish the opportunity to be alone with Wanqing, and don't blame me for destroying your two-person world when the time comes. ”

"Okay, you can stay safe outside. ”

After chatting a few words, Su Lin seemed to have something to do temporarily, so she had to hang up the phone.

Su Lin said to be back in a month. ”

"It was the Chinese New Year, and it was time to go home. ”

Spring festival!

Ling Chen's heart moved, if it weren't for Nan Rong Wanqing's reminder, he would have almost forgotten. Growing up, he never had the concept of a New Year. When I lived with my father when I was a child, I was the same as usual during the New Year's holidays, coarse tea and light rice, no difference. After joining the ghost, he has been on missions all year round, and he has no chance to enjoy the fun of the festival.

Involuntarily, Ling Chen had a hint of anticipation for the upcoming festival.

After taking a bath, Ling Chen accompanied Nan Rong Wanqing to watch an entertainment show in the living room, and at ten o'clock, he sent the sleepy Nan Rong Wanqing back to the room, Ling Chen changed into clothes, left Nan Rong's house alone, and wandered in the garden of Regal Villa.

The night is like ink, and the stars are dotted.

Ling Chen strolled along the bluestone-paved path, thinking about what had happened recently, and a bitter smile suddenly appeared on his angular face.

I thought that after leaving the ghost, I would be able to wave goodbye to my previous life and return to normal, but I didn't expect that once some things were involved, it would be difficult to get out. For him, being an ordinary person has almost become a luxury.

Moreover, what is happening to him now makes him extremely confused, as if everything is covered by layers of fog, and he can't see the truth clearly.

While strolling around, Ling Chen's eyes were suddenly attracted by a gazebo in the garden.

On the stone chair in the pavilion, there was a man sitting on his back, because the night was thick, he could only vaguely see that the other party was wearing a simple suit, the silhouette of the body was slender, and the hair was thick, judging from his experience, the other party should be about forty or fifty years old.

The man sat alone in the gazebo, with a pot of wine on the stone table, plus two wine glasses, pouring himself a drink, as if he was not aware of Ling Chen's appearance.

Ling Chen glanced at it twice, and estimated that the other party had also encountered something unpleasant, so he drank here alone. After thinking about it, Ling Chen decided to make a detour so as not to disturb others.

"Since you're here, why don't you have a drink together? ”

The voice came from the gazebo, and before Ling Chen could react, a sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded.

Ling Chen looked fixedly, raised his eyebrows slightly, and hurriedly reached out to take the flying thing. Looking at the wine glass in his hand and the unspilled wine, Ling Chen's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he looked at the man in the pavilion with interest.

"You're waiting for me here?"

"Is this important?" the other asked rhetorically.

"If you want to get me for a drink, at least tell me who you are. ”

"None of that matters. The man in the suit said lightly: "The important thing is that I can answer the doubts in your heart." ”

"How do you know I'm in doubt?"

"Because I know you, whether it's whether you joined the ghost or what you experienced when you came to Donghai City, I know it all clearly, and I'm sure you must have a lot of questions in your heart. Ever since you left the ghost, you've been in a state of aimlessness, living in a daze, completely unaware of which direction you're going. ”

Ling Chen said with a smile: "Do you know?"

"Your father once entrusted me to secretly watch you and protect your safety, and his meaning is very clear, he hopes that after you leave the ghost, you can live an ordinary life and live this life carefree. Unfortunately, the more you try to avoid some things, the harder it is to stop them from happening. If you don't look for it, it will come to you automatically. ”

Hearing this, Ling Chen's face changed slightly, and he walked quickly towards the pavilion. However, before he could get closer, the man in the suit in the pavilion waved his hand, and the stone bench placed on the ground immediately flew up and landed in front of Ling Chen, blocking his steps.

"Don't come here, I don't want to reveal my identity. ”

Ling Chen took two steps back and couldn't wait to ask, "Do you know my father?"

"Of course I do. I came to you this time, and I was also entrusted by him. He knew that you were looking for him by borrowing the intelligence ability of Tianji Pavilion, and for some reason, it was inconvenient for him to show up now, so he had to ask me to come to see you. No matter what questions you have, you can ask them and I will try to help you answer them. ”

Ling Chen pondered for a moment and said, "Since you know my father, then you should know my background and background. ”

"What do you mean...... Speaking of this, the man in the suit laughed to himself, and continued: "Your father expected that you would be interested in your life experience, you were young before, so he didn't say it, now that you are an adult, it is time to tell you the truth." ”

"You were born in the Ling family, which is a big family that has been inherited for hundreds of years, and there are dozens of brothers and sisters in the family. You and your father both belong to the Ling family, and you have been in the same vein for a hundred years. Because of previous generations, your line is not very popular in the Ling family, and you are often snubbed. However, for the sake of the fact that you are all of the Ling family's bloodline, the Ling family did not do too much to your father and son, until more than ten years ago, an accident occurred, which led to a complete breakdown in the relationship between the two parties. Because of that incident, your father took you away from the Ling family and away from home. ”

After listening to the other party's words, Ling Chen couldn't help but ask, "Can you make it clear, saying so much is the same as not saying it." ”

"Ling Gengqiu, this person must already be known to you. ”

"I know all about his deeds, and it was hundreds of years ago. ”

"Yes, but what you don't know is that Ling Gengqiu is actually your ancestor. ”

"What?"

Hearing this, Ling Chen was completely shocked.

"Ling Gengqiu was secretly poisoned by his wife, so that he became a monk. After that, Ling Gengqiu's wife sent his only son to the Ling family, and he quietly disappeared, never heard from him. Later, it was the Ling family who raised Ling Gengqiu's child, because of him, there was your lineage. ”
