Chapter 2614

Feng Zidong didn't answer Ye Chen's question, but looked at Ye Chen and said very seriously: "Ye Chen, do you know why your parents returned to the country back then?"

Ye Chen said: "I heard that my father wanted to return to revitalize the Ye family. As for my mother, it should have been out of the mentality of 'marrying a chicken, follow the chicken; marrying a dog, follow the dog' to accompany him back."

Feng Zidong smiled: "Look, this is the brilliance of your father. If he didn't want others to see through his true purpose, then no one in this world could see through him."

Ye Chen frowned and asked: "Uncle Feng, what exactly do you mean? According to what you said, my parents' return to the country back then actually had hidden secrets?"

Feng Zidong smiled mysteriously and said to Ye Chen: "In everyone's eyes, Ye Changying and An Chengxi were a pair of geniuses in the business field and a fairy-like couple in the financial industry. But in fact, from the time I knew your father, he was a person who was very interested in martial arts and traditional Chinese culture, and even those superstitions and Xuanxue that were spurned by high-level intellectuals were something he enjoyed;"

"As for me, I happened to have practiced a little martial arts when I was young, and grew up in a martial arts family like the He family. Although my own martial arts have been abandoned for many years, I have the advantage of knowing a lot, so even though we were several years apart, we still had a lot to talk about."

"Although your father didn't have the talent for martial arts himself, he had been studying the roots and underlying logic of martial arts. Your mother was the same. They even spent a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources to investigate the origins of martial arts and Xuanxue all over the world."

Ye Chen frowned and said: "I don't seem to have any relevant impressions of my father..."

Feng Zidong smiled: "You can understand your father as a scholar who tried to crack the core of martial arts and Xuanxue using scientific methods. His goal was not to practice martial arts, but to hope to be able to crack the laws of martial arts just like Newton cracked the law of universal gravitation. He often discussed with me what Qi is, and discussed why martial artists can use meridians and the dantian to circulate Qi, and play a role in improving physical fitness and their own strength;"

"Cracking the core of martial arts and Xuanxue using scientific methods?" Ye Chen's expression was blank, and he couldn't help but ask himself in his heart: "Can this kind of thing really be explained by science? Just like the Rejuvenation Pill can bring the dead back to life and prolong life, what scientific method can research this? I have a deep understanding of martial arts and spiritual energy, but I also don't know what the underlying logic is. My father wasn't even a martial artist, how could he study the underlying logic of this?"

At this time, Feng Zidong remembered something and added: "By the way, Ye Chen, although your mother seemed quiet, in fact, she was more interested in these things, even more fanatical than your father. Moreover, even your father might have been influenced by her."

Speaking of this, Feng Zidong said to Ye Chen: "Your mother even had a team dedicated to studying this kind of knowledge, and as early as the 1990s, she used her connections and background in the United States to build a supercomputer computing center. At that time, the countries that could own that kind of supercomputer could be counted on one's fingers. The few countries that had them were using supercomputers to predict global climate, simulate nuclear test data, calculate the orbits and distances of planets in the solar system, and explore the mysteries of the birth of the universe. But your mother was using the world's top supercomputers at the time to deduce the underlying logic of the I Ching, Bagua, and Feng Shui secret arts;"

Ye Chen listened, dumbfounded. He had never dreamed that his mother would have such a mysterious side.

Feng Zidong remembered something and added: "Oh, by the way, your mother even dragged your father to participate in dozens of archaeology projects related to martial arts all over China before and after their marriage."

"Archaeology?" Before Ye Chen could be surprised by his mother's interest in the I Ching and Bagua, he subconsciously said: "I have never heard that they were engaged in archaeological work..."

Feng Zidong smiled: "Naturally, they wouldn't let you know, because their archaeology, to put it bluntly, was not approved by the authorities. To put it nicely, it was archaeology; to put it bluntly, it was grave robbing."

As he spoke, Feng Zidong asked him: "Can you imagine? Two top-tier rich second generations who usually entered and exited Wall Street or the CBD of Yanjing as super elites, but at night, would change into night clothes and become the 'Gold-Touching Captains' described in novels..."

"This..." Ye Chen already felt very confused. He couldn't help but mutter: "In my impression, before my parents left Yanjing, they were always focused on business matters. I have never heard that they were interested in archaeology or grave robbing. I can't find any relevant memories at all in my childhood memories."

Feng Zidong said: "Your parents were both extremely intelligent people. They never let anyone know their true purpose, of course, except for me."

As he spoke, Feng Zidong added: "Speaking back to the topic of your parents returning to the country, in fact, your parents' decision to leave the United States and return to China for development was not what the outside world thought. Your father wanted to return to revitalize the Ye family, and your mother wanted to 'marry a chicken, follow the chicken'..."

"Actually, they didn't intend to return to the country at first, or didn't intend to return so urgently. But suddenly one day, your father found me and told me that he had made a very major discovery in the United States and had to rush back to China as soon as possible to verify the authenticity of this discovery. I asked him what major discovery it was, and he didn't tell me clearly. He just said that if it went smoothly, he could crack the problems and doubts he had always had."

Hearing this, Ye Chen felt that his worldview had been somewhat overturned.

Just during the wedding speech at noon, he still felt that he knew his parents incomparably well.

But he didn't expect that only an hour or two had passed, and Feng Zidong had portrayed another version of them that he had never seen before.

After experiencing about two minutes of silence, Ye Chen asked Feng Zidong: "Uncle Feng, before my father had his accident, besides telling you that your parents might still be alive, what else did he say?"

Feng Zidong's expression became serious, and he said word by word: "Your father also said that he and your mother had already left Yanjing. They left because your mother had offended a very ancient and powerful mysterious organization. This organization has existed for at least three or four hundred years, and its strength and background far exceed everything a person can imagine about a mysterious organization."

Ye Chen was surprised in his heart, looked at Feng Zidong, and asked him: "Uncle Feng, is the organization you are talking about called the 'Poqing Society'?"

"You also know about the Poqing Society?!" Feng Zidong was dumbfounded for an instant, and his expression looking at Ye Chen was full of shock.

Ye Chen nodded and said truthfully: "To tell you the truth, I have had some contact with the Poqing Society, but not much."

Feng Zidong asked him in astonishment: "How did you come into contact with the Poqing Society?"

Ye Chen said frankly: "My contact with the Poqing Society was by chance. They wanted to assassinate my grandparents in the United States. I captured one of their prisoners, and then followed the clues of that prisoner to find some clues related to the Poqing Society."

Feng Zidong asked in astonishment: "Twenty years have passed, and the Poqing Society still won't let go of your mother's family even now?!"

Ye Chen smiled bitterly: "Not only won't they let go, but my third aunt, who has been married to my third uncle for nearly twenty years, no one expected that she was actually a member of the Poqing Society."

"What?!" Feng Zidong widened his eyes: "Why would the Poqing Society hide in the An family for twenty years... Your parents are already gone. What is the point of hiding in the An family for them?"
