<h4>Chapter 925: Chapter 930: Mother and Son Reunited (Part 3)</h4>


    Looking at Ling Chen, who remained silent, a hint of bitterness flickered in Yang Qingling’s beautiful eyes.


    "Do you... do you hate me very much?"


    "No." Ling Chen responded calmly, "I never knew you, so why would I hate you?" After saying this, not waiting for Yang Qingling to respond, Ling Chen continued, "You don’t need to feel like you owe me anything or feel guilty towards me. Honestly, I’m already very happy to see you."


    Yang Qingling chuckled bitterly and said, "If you really were happy, you wouldn’t be speaking to me in this tone. I know I owe you and your father so much, but I hope you can understand me. I was forced to leave you all. As a mother, if I could, I would give up everything to be by your side."


    "Why?" Ling Chen asked, "I’ve heard about you and my dad from Lin Guodong. Lin Guodong told me that back then, the Ling Family Patriarch secretly imprisoned you, and even my dad didn’t know your whereabouts. Later, my dad mistakenly thought you died, so heshed out in anger and killed several cousins of the Ling Family. Because of this, the Patriarch expelled both me and my dad from the Ling Family. I don’t understand, since you didn’t die back then and even escaped abroad, why didn’t you contact me and my dad to let us know you were still alive."


    "It wasn’t that I didn’t want to; I couldn’t." Yang Qingling sighed and said helplessly, "Back then, when I was secretly imprisoned, the Ling Family Patriarch forced me to hand over the Yang family’s property, transferring all assets to the Ling Family’s name. The Yang Family had worked for many years, and the efforts of several generations were all there. Anyone would be reluctant to give away everything they worked hard for. Initially, I hoped your father would find me and rescue me from the Ling Family. Unfortunately, after several months, there was no sign from your dad."


    "Later, the Ling Family Patriarch told me that you and your dad were expelled from the Ling Family. If I didn’t want you to be in danger, I had to hand over the Yang family’s industry; otherwise, he would send people to hunt you and your father. Being forced, I could only choose topromise. To stay alive, I reached an agreement with the Ling Family. After transferring the assets, I would settle abroad and never return to find you. If the Ling Family discovered I was in contact with you, it would be harmful to you."


    "Not only that, the Ling Family also sent people to secretly monitor me, listening to my phone, and my life was almost transparent to them, with no secrets. This kind of lifested for over ten years. Later, I met Qi Houzhao, and with his help and my own nning, I finally found a chance to escape the Ling Family’s surveince. However, the Ling Family did not give up and continued searching for my whereabouts. To avoid being found by them, I took great pains, constantly changing my name and changing addresses. During this time, I contacted several friends in the country, asking them to help me find out your and your father’s whereabouts. Unfortunately, all these years, there was never any news of you."


    "Why don’t you return to the country?"


    "I don’t dare." Yang Qingling said, "The Ling family’s power is too vast. If I go to the airport, it’s very likely they would find out. It’s too dangerous to do so; I don’t dare to take risks lightly. Besides, I have to consider not only myself but also my parents."


    "You mean grandfather and grandmother?" Ling Chen asked concernedly, "Where are they? Are they safe?"


    Hearing Ling Chen calling her parents ’grandfather and grandmother,’ a smile appeared in Yang Qingling’s eyes.


    "Don’t worry; they’re doing well now, the Ling Family can’t find them. Your grandfather and grandmother are old and can’t endure disturbances anymore, so I must consider their safety. If I leave, leaving the two of them in this city, I won’t feel assured. Thus, I continue to ask my friends to look for you while utilizing my rtionship with Qi Houzhao to make some quick-money investments. In a few years, I’ve umted quite a few assets. Using these assets, I hired Beison to help me deal with people from the Ling Family and gather information."


    At this point, Yang Qingling looked at Ling Chen with deep apology and said, "I’m sorry. That day at the Chinese restaurant, when I saw your posted notice and the contact details you left. Since you signed as ’Mr. Ling,’ I mistakenly thought you were sent by the Ling Family. That’s why I asked Qi Houzhao for help, intending to secretly get rid of you. Fortunately, your skills are not small, and nothing happened; otherwise, I would not be peaceful for the rest of my life."

    Ling Chen touched his nose and said, "It’s also my fault; I didn’t specify my identity at that time. If I had revealed my name earlier, it wouldn’t have caused so many misunderstandings. But thankfully, although we’ve experienced so many things, we’re all safe."


    "Your... how is your injury?" Yang Qingling asked concernedly, "Yesterday at the parking lot, I clearly shot you, why do you..."


    "Why am I still alive?" Ling Chen smiled and said, "I have practiced martial arts, so my body is much stronger than ordinary people, and the bullet only injured the muscle, not threatening my life."


    "That’s good." Yang Qingling breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about the scene that happened in the parking lot, she still felt a bit uneasy.


    "Ling Chen, did youe abroad this time specifically to find us?"


    Ling Chen nodded and said, "Yes. I found some information about grandfather and grandmother, so I wanted toe over and see them, and bring them back home, but unexpectedly, I encountered so many things."


    "Then... where’s your dad, why didn’t hee with you?"


    "My dad, he..." Ling Chen hesitated for a moment, uncertain whether to reveal his dad’s situation.


    However, the more he acted this way, the more Yang Qingling worried, urging, "How is your dad?"


    "He’s fine, just... had a minor issue." With that, Ling Chen exined Ling Kun’s current situation.


    Yang Qingling worriedly asked, "Will he be in danger?"


    "Don’t worry, Elder Su is with him; there shouldn’t be any problems. As long as dad’s body recovers naturally, he will wake up. Mom, don’t worry too much; in a while, I’ll take you to see my dad."


    Hearing Ling Chen call out "Mom," Yang Qingling’s beautiful eyes couldn’t help but well up with tears. Nobody would know that, as a mother, she had been waiting to hear this word for over twenty years.


    Seeing the tears glisten in Yang Qingling’s eyes, Ling Chen was slightly stunned. He hadn’t expected calling out "Mom" would feel so smooth.


    Perhaps, deep down inside, he also longed for an opportunity to utter this word.


    "Ling Chen, she... is she your mom?"


    At this moment, a surprised voice came from the doorway.
