Know Your Own Background?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>_1 “Brother Jun, the matter you asked me to look into has results now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the office, Lin Chen straightened up in his chair and said with a smile, “What’s the situation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s hard to say, I’ll send you the information, it involves a major event in the Cultivation World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Does this have anything to do with you, Brother Jun?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen didn’t need to hide anything from Bat, after all, his orphan background was well-known among the team members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This is the jade pendant I had on me when my master picked me up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I only found it again recently.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat exclaimed in surprise, “Does it have anything to do with your background…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brother Jun, I’ll send you the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m afraid your background is not simple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, let me take a look first.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bat said enthusiastically, “If you need any help, just say the word.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen said with a laugh, “Alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen received the information sent by Bat and began to read it carefully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There wasn’t much information, it was vague, but it involved a major event in the Cultivation World twenty-seven years ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>27 years ago, multiple cultivation forces secretly gathered at Jiuhua Mountain Sun Bay Resort.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The theme of the gathering was unclear, but violent conflicts broke out during it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That night, dozens of people were killed or injured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to an insider, the cause of the conflict was a dispute over a jade pendant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on their description, it was the one Lin Chen had.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was secretly shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The jade pendant in his hand could actually cause many cultivation forces to fight for it, even resorting to violence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What big secret did this jade pendant involve?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was secretly relieved that he hadn’t publicly posted information about the jade pendant online, otherwise, he might have already brought great catastrophe upon himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the jade pendant they fought for was indeed the one he had, were his parents also part of the disputing parties at the meeting that day?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen continued to read and finally saw a name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Hengfang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Hengfang was one of the injured in that meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His identity was special.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a prestigious philanthropist, so his case was specially recorded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind the information, there was all the information about He Hengfang collected by Spider.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After reading all the information, Lin Chen lit a cigarette and began to think.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In that conflict, He Hengfang was seriously injured and went abroad for treatment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He is now eighty-four years old, living overseas.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To find out about the jade, He Hengfang might be a breakthrough point.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen got up and left the office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through special channels, he bought a batch of unregistered phone cards.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen inserted one of the cards and dialed He Hengfang’s number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this old sir He Hengfang?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Hengfang’s voice was old and weak, “Yes, who is this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen calmly replied, “You can call me Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>C.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’d like to ask you about something.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Hengfang coughed twice and asked, “What is it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“27 years ago, at Jiuhua Mountain Sun Bay Resort, the night you were injured, what happened?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Hengfang’s voice suddenly became clearer and more serious, “Who are you and why are you asking about this?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen paused for two seconds, “The jade is in my possession.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Hengfang asked, “What kind of jade?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen answered, “A jade pendant engraved with the word ‘Qi,’ written in the ancient seal script from the Western Wei Dynasty.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Hengfang’s voice suddenly became excited, “Heaven Opening Jade!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is the Heaven Opening Jade in your hands?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Heaven Opening Jade?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen made an affirmative sound, “Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Hengfang suddenly became excited, “Are you selling this jade?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll pay a high price.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was slightly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Hengfang didn’t ask any details and immediately asked if he was selling, which meant that the value of this jade had not disappeared with the passage of twenty-seven years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen asked calmly, “What price are you willing to pay?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One billion, how about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the most expensive jade couldn’t possibly be worth a billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That meant that the jade’s value was mostly additional value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Hengfang heard Lin Chen’s silence and thought he was not satisfied, and without hesitation raised the price, “Two billion, no, Mr.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>C, you name your price, how about that?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen thought for a moment, “I’m not selling this jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I came to you not to sell things, but to find out the truth about what happened.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Hengfang fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, “You sound very young, you have the Heaven Opening Jade in your hand, and you’re asking about the truth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be that you’re Lin Yuan’s son or relative?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen was surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this Lin Yuan his father?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was an unregistered phone card, and Lin Chen wasn’t afraid of being traced back, “I don’t know who my parents are, but I had this jade on me when I was adopted.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Hengfang asked, “Are you twenty-seven years old this year?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Hengfang sighed, “Then there’s no mistake, you are Lin Yuan’s son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you know your background?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Chen replied honestly, “I don’t know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Can you tell me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He Hengfang whispered, “Your father’s name is Lin Yuan, and your mother’s name is Feng Lan…”\u003C\u002Fp>",926,"2026-06-06T01:51:32.142Z",1,"novelbin.me","72178acd7658b9d3e423ed03e530e2604f59bf03f83d1973ba25db14515c4c41","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-157","urban-peerless-expert-chapter-155",4071,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Furban-peerless-expert-cover.jpg"]
