Chapter 2543

~8 min read 1,413 words

The old lady's words shocked Ye Chen.

He subconsciously thought that the old lady was really as he had guessed before, and was not erased of her memory by his spiritual energy.

This kind of thing had never happened in Ye Chen's personal cognition.

So he subconsciously thought, could this old lady also master spiritual energy to some extent.

So, he asked tentatively: "Grandma Jiang, why do you ask?"

Seeing that Ye Chen seemed to be on guard, the old lady said very frankly: "Young man, to tell you the truth, I am just guessing in my heart."

After speaking, she paused slightly and continued: "When I was rescued from Mexico by those heroes, I found that not only my youngest and I, but everyone on the bus had memory loss. Everyone remembers how they were cheated there, and also remembers how those people harmed us, but they don't remember how we were rescued."

"Those heroes told us that it was some kind of tear gas or something they used that caused our memory to be lost. At first, I believed it, but soon I realized a problem..."

Speaking of this, the old lady subconsciously touched her right wrist and said seriously: "I have an ancestral bracelet. That thing looks like a blood rattan, and it might not even be worth five yuan. Before my memory was lost, I could be sure it was still on my hand. But when I woke up from the bus, it was already gone..."

After speaking, the old lady hurriedly explained: "Young man, don't misunderstand. I don't suspect that someone stole my things. I suspect it was myself. During the period when my memory was lost, I gave that thing to someone else. After all, that thing looks worthless. In that situation at that time, absolutely no one would steal it. The only possibility is that I took it off myself."

Pausing for a moment, the old lady looked at Ye Chen and said seriously: "That thing is very important to me. It has been passed down in our family for more than a thousand years. If it weren't for a great kindness, I would never be able to take it out. So I personally speculate that it should have been given to the benefactor by myself during the period of memory loss, but I don't know what great magical power the benefactor has that can make so many of us have no memory of him at all."

Hearing this, Ye Chen was even more shocked.

She originally thought that the old lady suddenly asked if she was her savior, which was likely to be immune to her spiritual energy in some way.

But he never expected that this eighty-year-old lady would have such strong logical thinking.

She completely deduced that someone had erased her memory by combining the details before and after the memory loss.

Chen Zekai on the side was also dumbfounded.

He naturally knew that Ye Chen was powerful, but he didn't expect that an old lady in the mountains could see through Ye Chen with limited clues.

Ye Chen was full of thoughts at this time.

He naturally didn't expect the old lady to have such thinking ability, and now for him, how to solve the problem in front of him is the key.

If he doesn't want to expose himself, he can erase all the old lady's memories about Mexico, but this is obviously inhumane;

Moreover, Ye Chen felt that although the old lady saw through him, she had no malice towards him, and he didn't need to be overly cautious.

Since the old lady herself had brought the words here, it might as well be open and honest. Only in this way can he truly understand the old lady's identity and background.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen no longer concealed it and said solemnly: "Grandma Jiang, that day I led my troops to hunt down the Chinese members of Crazy Juarez to Mexico, and accidentally discovered that they had imprisoned so many innocent people there, so I asked people to bring you all out and send you home."

Seeing the bracelet, the old lady was overjoyed and said excitedly: "It seems that I didn't guess wrong... You are really the savior of our mother and son!"

As she spoke, she wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Ye Chen with trembling hands, but Ye Chen stopped her and said seriously: "Grandma Jiang, you don't have to do this. In Mexico that day, as long as it was a normal person, they wouldn't sit idly by and ignore you."

The old lady's eyes were blurred with tears, and she choked: "Thank you for saving my life! If it weren't for you, the Jiang family line would have been broken here..."

As she spoke, she looked up at the painting on the wall, but what she looked at was not the immortal-looking old man in the middle, but the child reading on the side, choking: "The Jiang family line, the genealogy that can be recorded from the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the present, has a history of 1,600 years. It has continued to this day after more than a thousand years of war and disaster. If it breaks in this peaceful and prosperous age, I don't know how to face the ancestors of the Jiang family when I die..."

Ye Chen took out the Phoenix Bone Vine bracelet that had already used one-tenth from his pocket and said to the old lady: "Grandma Jiang, this is your ancestral bracelet. If you don't know how to explain it to your ancestors, you can take this bracelet back at any time."

The old lady took a look at the bracelet made of Phoenix Bone Vine. When she found that the bracelet was already missing a part, she asked in surprise: "This... this bracelet... Benefactor... you... you used it?"

Ye Chen nodded and said frankly: "To save people, I used a little bit."

The old lady's eyes were full of awe, and she muttered: "Benefactor really has great magical powers... Ancestor Meng once told my ancestors that if anyone can use this Phoenix Bone Vine in the future, they must be a person with great magical powers and spiritual energy!"

When Ye Chen heard the four words "spiritual energy," he was even more shocked. He suppressed the horror in his heart and asked: "Grandma Jiang, how do you know these?"

The old lady pointed to the immortal-looking old man in the middle of the painting and said seriously: "The one in the painting is Ancestor Meng. He is a great benefactor of our Jiang family. Like the benefactor, he has great magical powers and spiritual energy!"

Ye Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he hurriedly asked: "Grandma Jiang, can you tell me the story of this Ancestor Meng in detail?"

The old lady looked at Ye Chen, then at Chen Zekai, and said with some suspicion: "Benefactor, please forgive me for being rude, but some things, I can only tell you alone..."

Hearing this, Chen Zekai stood up immediately and said respectfully: "Grandma Jiang, you and my Young Master talk slowly, the younger generation will go outside and wait for your son."

Chen Zekai's words made the old lady feel a little amazed instantly.

She didn't expect that this young man in his thirties beside Ye Chen had such vision.

She didn't want to mention the family secret in front of him, but he was not angry, and he knew that she didn't even want her son to hear these words, so he took the initiative to say he would go outside and wait for her son. The meaning was very obvious. Not only did he go out to avoid suspicion immediately, but if her son came back early, he would also find a way to stop him.

So, the old lady arched her hands with great admiration: "Thank you for your hard work!"

Chen Zekai also said respectfully: "Grandma Jiang, you are the one who is working hard. You and my Young Master talk first, the younger generation will go out first!"

After speaking, he went out immediately and stayed outside the courtyard gate.

Only then did the old lady say to Ye Chen: "The people around the benefactor are really extraordinary!"

"Thank you for the compliment, Grandma Jiang." Ye Chen smiled modestly and asked: "Grandma Jiang, who exactly is this Ancestor Meng you mentioned?"
