Chapter 529: Probing

He Lingyun let go of Mu Xi. She covered her mouth, and large tears fell down. She slowly squatted down, and after a long while, suppressed sobbing finally came from her mouth.

She bit her hand tightly, leaving rows of bloody tooth marks on it. It was very painful, but it was very clear that this was not a dream; it was real. Her child was Chen Yu, and he was still alive.

"I knew it, he is still alive, he must still be alive." He Lingyun finally could not help but burst into tears.

"Every time I dream of him, his appearance is different. From dreaming of an infant, to him toddling, to him growing into an adult." He Lingyun cried: "I just knew he must still be here. From the first moment I saw Chen Yu, I felt he was so familiar."

He Lingyun closed her eyes, and large tears fell. In a blur, that figure from her dreams appeared before her eyes, overlapping with Chen Yu's appearance.

"Sister, you have already found him. What happened back then is no longer important." Mu Xi hugged her: "This identification report, I watched it being done with my own eyes, it cannot be wrong."

"I know. The first time I saw him, I knew his connection to me. That kind of intimacy, that inseparable feeling, that familiarity that is fused into the bloodline, it cannot be wrong." He Lingyun slowly stood up: "We are returning to Shengjing."

"You are not going back to see him again?" Mu Xi was slightly stunned: "You are not taking him with you to Shengjing?"

"I want to do that very much, but I cannot." He Lingyun maintained an unprecedented clarity: "Shengjing is currently filled with tigers and wolves everywhere. Competitors, the He Family, the Chen Clan, and even international extremist organizations are all eyeing the latest research results of He Family Technology."

"That place is inherently a precarious place. I need to go back to lay out my plans and make preparations. When the day I am prepared arrives, I will let him return with dignity. I want to tell everyone that Chen Yu is my son." He Lingyun said sternly.

A hint of a smile appeared on Mu Xi's face. In fact, she knew that He Lingyun had always been a woman who was soft on the outside but firm on the inside; her fragility was only on the surface.

In fact, hidden beneath her fragile exterior was a resolute heart; otherwise, she would not have been able to firmly control the He Group all these years and suppress that eldest brother of hers in the He Family until he had no power to parry.

Her child had returned, which further ignited her will to win. Some people in Shengjing were afraid they were going to suffer this time.

Moreover, Chen Yu was not a pushover either. If this mother and son joined forces, that City of the Nine-Five Supreme would likely be stirred up by wind and rain.

Yalong Group, VIP reception hall.

"Haha, Mr. Chen has come. A rare guest, please sit." Zhou Jihai received Chen Yu enthusiastically, and he extended both hands to shake Chen Yu's hand.

"President Zhou is in good spirits." Chen Yu smiled. While shaking hands with Zhou Jihai, a trace of Mind Power was emitted, probing Zhou Jihai.

It was still the aura of twilight, yet the Zhou Jihai before him was clearly in the prime of middle age.

"I usually pay attention to health preservation, so my spirits are quite good." Zhou Jihai laughed and said: "Making money is certainly important, but the body is more important. Otherwise, if you are left with a pile of wealth but cannot enjoy it yourself, what is the point?"

"If everyone had President Zhou's breadth of mind, that would be great." Chen Yu smiled and said: "President Zhou, when President He left, she gave instructions that the He Group now intends to invest in a commercial city in Ning City."

"President Zhou's Yalong Group is in the business of commerce itself. If President Zhou is interested, we can cooperate."

"That is good." Zhou Jihai slapped his thigh and said happily: "Being able to cooperate with the He Group is something I have been wishing for. However, I would like to take the liberty to ask, what is the relationship between President Chen and President He?"

"We are just friends." Chen Yu smiled and said: "It is just that President He appreciates me quite a bit, so after finishing the inspection in Ning City, she handed all the matters here over to me."

"So that is how it is. Mr. Chen is young and can be appreciated by President He; you must have extraordinary qualities." Zhou Jihai flattered him.

"President Zhou is too kind. I am too young and lack experience in many areas, so I will need to learn a lot from President Zhou in the future." Chen Yu said: "If President Zhou is interested in the cooperation, then after I go back, I will finalize the details of the cooperation. We can talk again next time."

"Good, good, I would be delighted." Zhou Jihai said happily.

After Chen Yu finished speaking, he stood up to take his leave. Before leaving, he glanced at Zhou Jihai, and then turned and left.

After Chen Yu left, Zhou Jihai's complexion changed completely. He hurriedly stood up and stumbled back to his office, pushing open that secret room.

He extended his hand; the hand that had just shaken Chen Yu's had become incomparably dry and wrinkled, like a withered branch, and the skin on his face was also aging at an extremely fast speed.

In less than five minutes, his entire person had turned into the appearance of an eighty-year-old man.

He hurriedly opened a safe on the wall, verified his fingerprint and pupil, and inside the safe was a refrigerator made of special composite materials.

He opened the refrigerator, took out a pale blue injection from inside, and then injected it into his own arm.

After the injection, he sat on the floor with a thud, leaning half against the wall, gasping for breath.

A full half hour passed before his aged appearance changed, turning back into the appearance of a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

Zhou Jihai let out a long sigh. He looked at the refrigerator and saw that there was not much of the blue injection left inside.

He thought for a moment and dialed a phone number.

"What is it?" A hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone; this voice was precisely the unique voice of the black-robed Underworld Envoy.

"Underworld Envoy, I have been using the medicine more and more frequently lately, and my medicine is about to run out." Zhou Jihai's tone was panicked: "What should I do next?"

"If it is used up, just refine more. However, the God Lord's current technology is not mature and will produce a phenomenon of genetic rejection. To maintain your current appearance, you must use the bodies of your relatives to refine it." The Underworld Envoy said leisurely.

"I, I still have a younger brother." Zhou Jihai gritted his teeth.

"Haha, Zhou Cheng'en, have you lived too long using the body of your son Zhou Jihai and forgotten who you are?" The Underworld Envoy's hoarse voice was somewhat grating: "That is your younger brother? That is your youngest son Zhou Jimin, and he also has an illegitimate daughter."

"These are all your closest kin. If you want to live, you must use their flesh and blood to refine the genetic factors to maintain your life."

"But, but they are my..." Zhou Jihai could not continue.

"Are they your son? Or your younger brother?" The Underworld Envoy laughed: "You are confused yourself, hehe. But since you have taken the first step, whether you want to continue depends on yourself. Mercy will only accelerate your death. You should take care of yourself."
