Chapter 1871

Ye Chen, whose mood was the exact opposite of Fei Kexin's, was on his way home at this time.

After putting Luo Jiacheng under control, he felt much more relaxed. Since that Fei Kexin still wanted to continue hiding her identity, Ye Chen could continue to play along with her.

However, in order to figure out Fei Kexin's background, he made another phone call to Wan Pojun. On the phone, he asked Wan Pojun: "Pojun, do you have detailed information on that Fei Kexin?"

Wan Pojun hurriedly said: "Mr. Ye, the information currently mastered by your subordinate shows that Fei Kexin is a young lady of the North American Fei family. And this Fei family is a Chinese family with considerable strength in North America. Although their strength is not comparable to the An family, they are still a cut above the Hong Kong Li family and the Huaxia Su family."

As he spoke, Wan Pojun added: "The founder of the Fei family, who is also the current head of the family, is named Fei Jianzhong. He is a first-generation entrepreneur who went abroad to struggle in his early years. However, he is already over ninety now, and it is said that his physical condition is not very good. It is estimated that he is almost reaching the end of his days."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen suddenly realized and thought to himself: "No wonder this Fei Kexin has been trying to find ways to get close to me and my family. The reason lies right here..."

He had seen the name Fei Jianzhong on the registration list for the auction before. Combining this with the information fed back by Wan Pojun, it was not difficult to infer that Fei Jianzhong must know his time was running out, so he was impatient to obtain a Rejuvenation Pill. And he should be worried about accidents at the auction, so he sent Fei Kexin to the country in advance to look for clues to the Rejuvenation Pill through other channels, which could also serve as a double insurance.

After figuring this out, Ye Chen asked Wan Pojun: "What is Fei Kexin's status in the Fei family?"

Wan Pojun explained: "This Fei Kexin is Fei Jianzhong's granddaughter, but among the grandchildren of the Fei family, she is the youngest. Among her older brothers and sisters of the same generation, the oldest is already over fifty, while she is only in her early twenties. It is said that she is quite favored in the Fei family and is the granddaughter whom Old Master Fei dotes on the most."

Ye Chen asked him: "What is the rank of Fei Kexin's father among the sons of the Fei family?"

Wan Pojun said: "Her father is the same as her; he is also the youngest among his generation."

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "No wonder she is working so hard. Her father's generation must not have much status in the family. The old master is also quite old, and who knows when he might pass away. If she doesn't work hard now and strive for some benefits in front of the old master, once the old master is gone, she will be directly divided out."

"Yes." Wan Pojun sighed: "This is also a place that all large families cannot avoid. After a new head of the family takes office, they will definitely carry out a round of cleansing of their brothers and sisters. After they get old, such things will happen again to their children."

Ye Chen said "right" and asked again: "Pojun, is there any more detailed information about this Fei Kexin?"

Wan Pojun said: "Returning to Mr. Ye, there isn't much information on Fei Kexin. Her life resume mainly consists of two parts. One is that from the age of six until last year, most of her energy was basically put into her studies. She is considered a genius and a top student in her studies. At only 22, she has already obtained a doctorate at Stanford. The other is that she has been exposed to corporate management since she was a teenager. Fei Jianzhong once handed over several projects with a market value of over 100 million to her for practice, and it is said that the results were all very good."

Ye Chen didn't expect that Fei Kexin was actually a Stanford graduate.

Stanford was his mother's alma mater, so counting it that way, this Fei Kexin and his mother were from the same school.

However, this did not make Ye Chen feel any more favorable toward Fei Kexin. Although he had some appreciation for Fei Kexin's kind of cleverness that calculated everything, he did not like it.

In Ye Chen's view, it would be best if she could retreat in the face of difficulties because of tonight's events and return to the United States as soon as the sun rose tomorrow, so as to save himself the trouble.

As for that Luo Jiacheng, he certainly wouldn't kill him. At worst, he would erase his memory of this period and find another opportunity to secretly send him to a country in Southeast Asia, letting him find his own way back.

In this way, this matter would not have any direct connection with himself.

At the same time, Fei Kexin in the hotel drew a bathtub of hot water for herself. After washing away the lead and rouge, she soaked her body in the hot water, forcing herself to relax both body and mind, and then re-examined everything that happened tonight in her heart.

Tonight's events, besides making her shocked and fearful, also vaguely made her feel a bit eerie.

She always couldn't figure out what kind of person would lock their target onto Luo Jiacheng so precisely.

Moreover, the other party made their move so cleanly and neatly, without leaving any clues.

She had also suspected Ye Chen in her heart.

But her thinking would always be led around by what Luo Jiacheng had said before.

She always felt that although Ye Chen was very mysterious, he shouldn't be powerful to such an extent.

She remembered what her grandfather said on the phone, that Master Yuan speculated that the opponent Luo Jiacheng encountered should be a Dark Realm expert.

Experts at the Great Perfection of the Bright Realm were unheard of, and Dark Realm experts, who were a whole level higher than the Bright Realm as a whole, were even rarer in the world.

This made Fei Kexin look at Jin Ling with new eyes. While subconsciously using her hand to stir the water in the bathtub, she muttered to herself: "I really can't imagine that a city that can only rank tenth in Huaxia would actually hide a Dark Realm expert... And besides the Dark Realm expert, this city also has a Master Ye who can produce the Rejuvenation Pill... Little Jin Ling is really full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers..."

Thinking of this, a thought suddenly flashed through Fei Kexin's mind.

She frowned tightly and muttered softly: "The matter of Ye Chen having the Rejuvenation Pill can basically be confirmed through the various clues obtained. This kind of pill can not only bring people back from the dead but also make people twenty years younger. If it really has such efficacy, it proves that this pill itself possesses very powerful energy..."

"Mr. Luo said that the reason martial artists can have physical fitness far exceeding ordinary people is because they have mastered energy that ordinary people cannot master: Qi!"

"And the energy contained in Ye Chen's Rejuvenation Pill, no matter what, cannot be worse than the Qi of martial artists, right? After all, there are many martial artists in this world, but only Ye Chen has the Rejuvenation Pill!"

"Although the energy of the Rejuvenation Pill and the Qi of martial artists might not be the same thing and it's hard to compare which is better or worse, in terms of rarity, the energy of the Rejuvenation Pill is much rarer and much more precious than the Qi of martial artists!"

"Hiring a six-star martial artist costs no more than tens of millions to at most 100 million US dollars a year, but wanting to buy a Rejuvenation Pill costs at least tens of billions of US dollars. From this, it can be seen that the energy value of the Rejuvenation Pill is higher."

"Since that's the case... then Ye Chen masters energy of higher value, why does he himself not have any strength? This... isn't this a bit strange?"

Fei Kexin remembered that Luo Jiacheng had told her that for martial artists, every inch of realm higher means an inch stronger. People with high cultivation can see at a glance what level someone with lower cultivation than themselves is at. So he could see that there was no cultivation on Ye Chen at all, and it could even be said that he was not a martial artist at all.

At first, Fei Kexin didn't doubt this statement either. After all, there are specialties in every field. Since Ye Chen is a Feng Shui master, it's hard for him to have any achievements in the path of martial arts.

However, analyzing this matter now, one would feel that there is a hidden bug in the logic, which is a logical loophole. This loophole is: since Ye Chen masters a pill like the Rejuvenation Pill that contains powerful energy, how could he have no cultivation at all?

This is as strange as someone having a mountain of gold and silver at home but not a single cent in their bank account!
