Chapter 274: Chapter 270 Mr. Yun

Upon hearing the young man’s words, Ling Chen became more suspicious. This person not only knew his identity but also his purpose for this trip; he was no ordinary man. Nanrong Wanqing was kidnapped by the Jiang Family, and no more than five people knew about this. Where did this person get his information?

Thinking this, he felt it necessary to meet the young man’s boss mentioned earlier, hoping that the mysterious boss could answer his questions.

"Lead the way."

"This way, please!"

Arriving at the roadside, the young man pointed to a Cadillac parked not far away, saying, "Mr. Ling, our boss is in the car; he would like to have a private chat with you."

Ling Chen nodded and briskly walked toward the Cadillac, gently knocking on the rear seat window.

Click!

The car door automatically popped open, and Ling Chen bent down to get in. A faint scent of a cigar immediately hit his nose.

Looking at the middle-aged man next to him, dressed in a crisp suit, approximately in his forties or fifties, with a refined and scholarly face and a stable demeanor. From his slightly plump facial contours, one could tell that he was quite a handsome man in his youth.

Additionally, Ling Chen noticed something peculiar. The man wore a leather glove on his left hand but not on his right hand, where instead he wore a wedding ring. It seemed odd, as in Huaxia tradition, men wore wedding rings on the left hand, the opposite of what this middle-aged man did.

While Ling Chen was sizing up the man, he, too, was observing Ling Chen, constantly wearing a gentle smile, his eyes seeming like those of an elder looking at a younger relative.

"Who are you? I don’t remember ever meeting you." Ling Chen took the initiative to ask.

"You can call me Mr. Yun, and furthermore, it’s our first meeting, so it’s normal that you don’t recognize me."

Ling Chen did not let his guard down; the middle-aged man before him was too mysterious, even unwilling to reveal his identity, making him difficult to trust.

"You seem to know a lot about me."

"That’s not the question you should be asking now; don’t forget your main purpose for coming to Yangcheng." Mr. Yun took a Cuban cigar from the armrest box, placed it in his mouth, and seemed unperturbed by Ling Chen’s scrutinizing gaze.

"Do you have a way to help me rescue Nanrong Wanqing?"

"Of course, it all depends on what you are willing to give."

Without hesitation, Ling Chen said, "As long as she can be rescued safe and sound, I am willing to bear any cost."

"Good!" Mr. Yun seemed pleased with his attitude and nodded, "Wanqing has good judgment. Ling Chen, I am here to remind you, what you see of the Jiang Family is not the real Jiang Family. You are still far from understanding their power. Before they do that to Wanqing, you must rescue her."

"What do you mean?"

Mr. Yun opened his mouth but then shook his head, "You don’t need to know too much. All I can tell you is two words: bloodline. The Jiang Family places great importance on nurturing their bloodline; it is their foundation. Hence, for the sake of bloodline inheritance, the Jiang Family is capable of anything."

Ling Chen was puzzled. Although Nanrong Wanqing was related to the Jiang Family, she was a collateral relative, whereas someone like Jiang Han was a direct relative of the Jiang Family. Normally, bloodline inheritance should fall to direct successors; why was it happening to Nanrong Wanqing?

Seeing his confusion, Mr. Yun explained, "The bloodline inheritance of the Jiang Family is different from other families; you won’t understand it all at once. Just focus on what you need to do now." Having said this, he took a box-shaped metal object out of his jacket pocket, about the size of a cigarette pack, with a touch-control device installed on it.

"Take this."

Ling Chen took it in his hands, curiously examining it, and asked, "What is this?"

"This is the only thing I can help you with. With your ability, finding Wanqing shouldn’t be hard, but the difficult part is getting her out. If you run into trouble, Wanqing’s fingerprint can unlock this box, and inside you will find what you need. Alright, I’ve said what I needed to; you can go now. I’ll wish you success in advance."

"One last question, what is your relationship with Wanqing?" Ling Chen looked directly into Mr. Yun’s eyes, hoping to discern something from his gaze.

However, Mr. Yun’s eyes were as calm as water, showing no extra emotional fluctuations, always maintaining a faint smile.

"That question... I’ll tell you next time we meet." After saying this, he turned his head to look out of the car window, no longer continuing the conversation.

Ling Chen knew he wouldn’t get any more information, so he decided not to waste more time and pushed the door open to get out of the Cadillac. Soon after he left, the young man earlier got into the driver’s seat, started the car, and while looking at Mr. Yun in the rearview mirror, asked, "Boss, do you think he can succeed?"

"Fifty-fifty." Mr. Yun spoke indifferently: "It would be best if he succeeds; I’m not ready to reveal my strength too soon, which could alert the Jiang Family." Saying this, his gaze turned slightly cold, his tone revealing a hint of chill, "The Jiang Family must be desperate, otherwise, they wouldn’t pin their hopes on Wanqing. This time, it was my oversight for not expecting them to make a move on Wanqing."

"Notify them to be ready at all times. If Ling Chen fails, have them step in. No matter the cost, nothing must happen to Wanqing."

"Yes, boss."

...

Jiang Family.

Jiang Kun sat in the study room, looking at a man in a white lab coat standing in front of the desk, and asked, "Are the test results out?"

"Yes, the results are ready. The compatibility is as high as ninety-four percent."

"Ninety-four?" Jiang Kun immediately stood up from his chair, excitement overflowing, laughing repeatedly, "Good, good, too good, even higher than her mother’s compatibility. It seems the future of our Jiang Family is secure. Go on, call Jiang Han for me."

Before long, Jiang Han appeared in the study room.

"Family Head, you wanted to see me?"

Jiang Kun changed from his usual seriousness, walked to his side, kindly patted his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Jiang Han, grandpa has something good to entrust to you."

"What good thing?"

Jiang Kun whispered a few words into his ear; it was unclear what he said, but Jiang Han’s eyes brightened, and his face immediately displayed a look of surprise, excitedly asking, "Grandpa... grandpa, is this really okay?"

"With grandpa making decisions for you, what could go wrong? We need to hurry with this matter, let’s do it tonight. Get it done, and I can rest easy."

"Yes, I understand, thank you grandpa."

"Alright, go get ready, I’ll await your good news tomorrow."

While they were talking, the butler Uncle Liu walked in from outside, whispering into Jiang Kun’s ear.

"Hmph! I knew they wouldn’t give up easily." Jiang Kun sneered coldly and instructed, "Let Jiang Yu handle this; he knows what to do."
