Forest valve.

After the preliminary round of the Panlong Club, Lin Dong rushed back to the forest valve compound in a hurry. He looked so hurried that he subconsciously ignored the people he met on the road to greet him.

"Father!"

He walked straight to an antique study, and without saying a word, pushed the door in.

"Such a big person, still so frizzy?"

The middle-aged man sitting on the red sandalwood chair frowned slightly, and just sitting there gave people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant. He also has a Chinese face, and there is still a bit of similarity between his eyebrows and Lin Dong.

This person is the head of the Lin Valve family - Lin Yuanshan.

Don't look at him holding a scroll of classics, he looks like he has a gentle and elegant temperament. But the person who can sit in the position of the head of the Lin Valve family must be one of the top powerhouses in the Kyushu Continent!

"I just met someone!"

Lin Dong looked anxious, and hurriedly said, "He is about the same age as Lin Feng, and his surname is Lin!"

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

Lin Yuanshan frowned slightly.

"His name is Lin Cheng, and he is the same person as I am who participated in this Panlong Meeting. But behind him, there is a lotus birthmark, exactly like what you told me a few years ago!"

Lin Dong said sonorously.

"What?!"

As soon as these words came out, Lin Yuanshan, who had always been unfazed, actually stood up directly and said in a low voice: "Are you sure you are not mistaken?"

"Absolutely, yes!"

Lin Dong affirmed: "And he was also abandoned when he was a baby, according to the person who adopted him, at that time he had a swaddling cloth engraved with the word Lin! He grew up in a place called Xiaoliang Village in Qingzhou since he was a child, and if the child who disappeared from his sister-in-law was still alive, it would definitely not be much different from his age!"

"Xiaoliang Village ......"

Lin Yuanshan muttered.

Immediately, with a wave of his big hand, a black shadow suddenly appeared that he didn't know where to hide: "Family master, what are your orders?" ”

"Within a quarter of an hour, I want to know all the information about Xiaoliang Village and that young man named Lin Yuan!"

"Yes!"

A quarter of an hour passed quickly, and a thick file appeared on Lin Yuanshan's desk at some point. He opened it, read it carefully, and his face was relieved.

I saw him sigh lightly: "It's been sixteen years, I didn't expect him to be alive!"

"Father, have you already confirmed your identity?"

Lin Dong asked.

Lin Yuanshan didn't speak, and just nodded after the silence.

"Then I'll go find Lin Cheng immediately and bring him back here. ”

Before the words fell, Lin Dong was about to turn around and leave.

"Wait!"

But before he stepped out of the door, he was directly stopped by Lin Yuanshan. I saw that the latter's expression was heavy, and there was a lingering cloud between his eyebrows: "Why did you bring him here?"

"Since he is my sister-in-law's child, of course he has to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors!"

Lin Dong was a little surprised.

"When you were young, you didn't know the twists and turns of the story. ”

Lin Yuanshan pinched his brows twice with a little headache, and said in a low voice: "In short, don't tell that young man about this matter first." However, since both of you have participated in the Panlong Society, if his life is in danger, I command you to save his life at all costs!

"Remember, that young man's life is likely to be related to the life and death of our Lin Valve!"

Lin Yuanshan said these words very seriously.

In Lin Dong's impression, he had never seen such a heavy look on his father's face since he was a child.

"Why?"

"Don't ask if you don't know what you shouldn't know!"

Lin Yuanshan said in a low voice.

Seeing that Lin Yuanshan said this, even if Lin Dong was very confused, he could only hold it in his heart. Because he knew that Lin Yuanshan, as the controller of the Lin Valve, would definitely have more things to consider than him. Since the latter said so, he, the son, could only do so.

Before Lin Dong left, Lin Yuanshan hesitated for a moment, but still said: "By the way, by the way, help me bring a message to your sister-in-law: that child is still alive." As for the rest, you don't say anything. Also, what we say today must not be known to a third person. ”

"Got it. ”

For his mysterious father, although Lin Dong felt helpless, there was nothing he could do.

He left the study and walked all the way through the graceful and luxurious courtyard corridor of the forest valve, and came to a quiet and leisurely small courtyard. Although the forest valve compound is said to be a large compound, its area is equivalent to a manor, and I don't know how vast it is.

This small courtyard is different from the lively and luxurious courtyard of the forest valve compound, and it seems so simple and quiet.

There are a lot of flowers and plants in the yard, and judging from the growth trend of those flowers and plants, you can be sure that the owner who takes care of them is very careful. Lin Dong walked into the courtyard and saw a slender woman washing vegetables and cooking in the room, so he stepped forward and called, "Sister-in-law." ”

The woman looked back and smiled, it turned out to be an elegant and calm middle-aged beauty.

"Xiaodong, why are you here? Listen to them, didn't you go to the Panlong Club?"

Lin Xueyan chuckled.

She put down the work in her hand and habitually wanted to touch her eldest nephew's head, but found that Lin Dong had already grown more than half a head taller than herself.

There was a hint of emotion on her face, which had not been left much by the years: "I haven't seen you for a while, and the stupid boy who ran around back then has grown up." ”

"Sister-in-law, can't you let your subordinates do these rough jobs? Why do you always like to do it alone?"

Lin Dong complained a little: "Over the years, my father and I have persuaded you many times to let you move back to the main courtyard. But you don't want to say anything, you have to suffer in this kind of place. ”

"You don't understand, my sister-in-law likes this kind of life. ”

Lin Xueyan shook her head lightly, and picked up the dish in her hand again: "You came at the right time, you haven't tasted my sister-in-law's craftsmanship for a long time, right?" I still remember that when you were a child, you liked to eat my cooking the most......

"Sister-in-law, I'm not here to eat. ”

Lin Dong sighed lightly and returned to the topic: "Actually, I came to deliver a message to you on behalf of my father. ”

"Oh, what did Big Brother say?"

"He asked me to tell you one thing, the child is still alive. ”

With a soft sound, the dish in Lin Xueyan's hand fell directly to the ground. She was stunned at first, and then all kinds of complicated expressions appeared on her face, with disbelief, guilt and happiness......

I saw her grab Lin Dong and hiss, "Is what he said true?"

"It's true. ”

Lin Dong was shocked, he had never seen Lin Xueyan like this.

You must know that in his impression, Lin Xueyan is the most gentle-tempered person in the entire forest valve compound. No matter what mistakes he made when he was a child, Lin Xueyan would reason with him softly.

Anyway, he had never seen Lin Xueyan so excited in his life.

"Where's that kid? I'm going to see him!"

Lin Xueyan said immediately.

"Sister-in-law, my father said, let me not tell that child about his background now. Moreover, he only asked me to tell you this sentence, I guess he also wants you not to do anything first, right?"

Lin Dong thought about it and said.

After all, it was father and son, and he could still see some of his father's thoughts Lin Yuanshan.

"Do you listen to your father, or do you listen to your sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law, I ......"

Lin Dong's face stiffened, and he couldn't answer for a while.

"What are you? When you were a child, it wasn't your sister-in-law who always helped you talk, and your ass didn't know how many times it had bloomed. ”

Lin Xueyan frowned slightly, and said unhappily: "Now that you have grown up, you don't even recognize your sister-in-law?" Okay, you little winter, your sister-in-law has really hurt you for so many years, and you can't even help your sister-in-law with this little thing?"

When this series of words came out, Lin Dong's whole person began to be dumbfounded.

In his eyes, the sister-in-law, who has always been gentle and elegant, actually has such an unreasonable side?

"Sister-in-law, my father gave a death order, I don't dare to disobey him......"

"Okay, it's an excuse to say so much, you just don't want to recognize me as a sister-in-law!"

Facing Lin Xueyan's pressing step by step, Lin Dong secretly gritted his teeth, and then made a difficult decision: "Okay, sister-in-law, I'll take you to meet that guy." But you have to promise me that you must not say anything superfluous to him, and don't let my father know about it, or I will be miserable. ”

"In the end, Xiao Dongzi is sensible, and my sister-in-law didn't hurt you in vain. ”

Hearing this, Lin Xueyan smiled, stood on tiptoe and touched Lin Dong's head.

It turns out that no matter what age a woman is, she is a master of changing her face. Just now, he had an angry face, but it turned into a smiling face in an instant, and this operation really made Lin Dong a little dumbfounded.

"In the end, it's my own flesh and blood, and my nephew still doesn't have a son......

Lin Dong muttered twice in a low voice.

Under the urging of Lin Xueyan, the helpless Lin Dong didn't dare to delay even half a moment, and hurriedly rushed to the imperial city with the former. Lin Dong also knew that Lin Xueyan was very anxious, which could be seen from the fact that she didn't even have time to take off the apron she was wearing when cooking.

Along the way, Lin Xueyan was even more coercive and tempting, wanting to get some things about Lin Cheng out of his mouth.

Lin Dong couldn't help it, after all, he was an elder, he had to say. Although he didn't know much about Lin Cheng, the latter had made too much of a name for himself during this time, and even he had heard of it.

But unlike Lin Xueyan, who has always lived in seclusion, she has not paid attention to the outside world over the years. Therefore, whenever Lin Dong talked about Lin Yan's life and death, Lin Xueyan squeezed his hand nervously, and even the knuckles were faintly white.

"He's married?"

After hearing that Lin Cheng had a wife, Lin Xueyan's eyes lit up: "What is the girl's name, what is her family background, what is her personality, and how does she look ......?"

The questions that followed hit Lin Dong one after another, but he could only show a wry smile.

Where did he go to find out about Lin Yuan's wife?

Having said that, it was the first time he and Lin Cheng had met, how could he have known so many things about others?
