Chapter 2778: Could it not be a coincidence?

Li Yalin's words suddenly made everything clear to everyone.

For so many years, the An family hadn't understood why Ye Brother Changying, who had the demeanor of a scholar and the grace of a gentleman, had so rudely clashed with the Rothschild family back then.

Even Ye Chen hadn't understood why his father would want to be an enemy of the Rothschild family. For a long time, Ye Chen even thought that the culprit who killed his parents was this super family with wealth that could rival a country.

But after talking so much with his grandfather's family and Li Yalin today, he finally understood that the reason his father did that back then was just to give himself a suitable opportunity to draw a line with the Ye family, and even with the An family.

He and his mother had likely already realized that they were about to face danger, and drawing a line with both families was surely to protect them.

An Qishan couldn't help but burst into tears and choked up, "Brother Changying and Chengxi, these two silly children, why would they rather die than seek help from us back then... As a father, not only did I not realize they were in huge danger, but I also held a grudge against them for distancing themselves from the family... Now I know that they just didn't want to drag us down..."

Li Yalin comforted him, "Uncle An, you don't need to blame yourself too much. Chengxi and her husband must have known very clearly back then that even if the An family and the Ye family were combined, they wouldn't be a match for the Poqing Society. Since that was the case, how could they implicate their family to suffer for them?"

"Yes..." The Old Lady couldn't help but sigh with reddened eyes, "Chengxi had a strong personality. Since she was a child, she wouldn't ask the family for help when she encountered any difficulties. The reason the An family's wealth could expand rapidly twenty or thirty years ago was all due to her planning in Silicon Valley. But when she followed Brother Changying to China, she didn't take a single cent from the family..."

The Old Lady's words made the An family's mood even heavier.

The An siblings had always been close, and to them, family was far more important than money.

Therefore, even though An Chengxi had been dead for more than twenty years, they still couldn't let go in their hearts.

Now that they had analyzed that they had encountered danger back then and kept their distance from the family so as not to implicate them, everyone felt even more sad.

Just as everyone was silent, Ye Chen's aunt, An Youyou, suddenly said, "I can understand why my sister and brother-in-law didn't want to implicate both families, but why did they bring Chen'er along?"

Everyone was startled by her words.

And they immediately realized that An Youyou was right.

Since the couple didn't even want to implicate their own families back then, why did they bring their only son with them?

They had likely made up their minds to die back then, but since they knew they were going to die, they shouldn't have brought Ye Chen, who was only eight years old, with them.

According to human nature, at that time, they would have tried every possible way to send their son to a farther and safer place.

But the couple, after falling out with the Ye family, brought Ye Chen to Jin Ling.

Thinking about this carefully, it was indeed unbelievable and incomprehensible.

An Qishan also couldn't figure it out at this moment. He looked at Ye Chen, frowned, and said, "Youyou is right... Chen'er is their only bloodline. The more dangerous it is, the more they should send their son far away. But why did they bring Chen'er to Jin Ling..."

With that, he asked Ye Chen, "Chen'er, do you remember the details before and after your parents brought you to Jin Ling?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said, "This lasted for more than half a year. I can't remember too many details, but thinking about it now, I didn't think of anything strange."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "For a long time, I always thought that my parents went to Jin Ling because they fell out with my grandfather and the entire Ye family, and they had no choice but to settle in Jin Ling. So in my understanding, I always felt that it was my grandfather and the Ye family who kicked my parents out of the house, which led to their later murder. They were the indirect culprits who killed my parents, so for a long time, I was very hateful toward my grandfather's family."

Li Yalin spoke up at this time, "Uncle An, Auntie, Chengxi and her husband must have made preparations for Chen'er in advance and left a way out for him. Otherwise, Chen'er couldn't have been safely transferred by Brother Changying's subordinates on the day of their incident. Moreover, Brother Changying arranged for Chen'er to be in the orphanage and replaced everyone in the orphanage with his own people in advance. This move was extremely clever, directly deceiving everyone who tried to find Chen'er, which is enough to prove that he had planned everything."

As he spoke, Li Yalin said earnestly, "So, returning to the question Youyou just raised, I think Chengxi and Brother Changying bringing Chen'er to Jin Ling not only had their own arrangements but also had their own unknown secrets."

An Qishan muttered, "I still can't figure it out... even if he had planned everything, what was the purpose of doing this?"

"Even the best arrangements have the risk of leaks, and facing such a powerful opponent, once a leak occurs, it's a matter of life and death. There would be no chance to remedy it;"

"What's more, the object of this risk is not someone else, but his own flesh and blood!"

"According to normal human thinking, if something could lead to death, no one would want their child to take such a risk. But he and Chengxi insisted on letting Chen'er take this risk. Isn't this a bit irresponsible?"

Ye Chen said calmly at this moment, "Grandfather, I believe my father had his reasons for doing so, and I don't think he was being irresponsible to me;"

"Everything has the risk of death. Driving a child out has the risk of a car accident, taking a child swimming has the risk of drowning, and feeding a child has the risk of choking. What parents need to consider is not to avoid all risks 100%, but whether the matter is worth doing in the face of risk;"

"I believe that very few parents would not take their children out to avoid car accidents, and it's even more impossible to stop eating for fear of choking and watch their children starve to death. So I think they must have had their reasons and justifications for doing so back then;"

"And I believe that they must have done this for my own good."

An Qishan was stunned for a moment and nodded slightly, "Chen'er, you're right. Although your parents were both young back then, they were both people of great wisdom. Your current abilities and good fortune could never have been cultivated in a greenhouse;"

"Whether they handed you over to the Ye family or the An family to raise you, it would have been very difficult, or even impossible, for you to grow into who you are today. Perhaps your parents had this foresight back then and foresaw your current development in advance."

At this time, Li Yalin asked Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, since your parents had already mastered some magical powers or had already touched the context, is there any connection with the power you later mastered?"

Ye Chen was slightly startled by his question, and a horrifying thought suddenly occurred to him: "Could it be that my obtaining the 'Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra' was not a coincidence? If it wasn't a coincidence, then what kind of cause and effect allowed me to obtain this inheritance twenty years after my parents passed away?!" ===== CHAPTER 2779 =====
