<h4>Chapter 968: Chapter 975: Father and Son Reunited (1)</h4>


    On the way back, looking at Zhu Xiaozhu’s silent demeanor, Ling Chen couldn’t help but say, "Xiaozhu, I’m sorry. If it weren’t for me, you and your Master..."


    "This is not your fault." Zhu Xiaozhu interrupted Ling Chen, responding, "The fault lies with my Master, and it has nothing to do with you. The essence of studying medicine is to save lives, but my Master has been blinded by fame and hatred, forgetting the original purpose of medicine. On this point, I don’t agree with her approach. As a doctor, I only stand on my ground and make the right choice."


    "Then what about your Master?"


    "I don’t know." Zhu Xiaozhu sighed lightly, looking a little deste.


    Shi Su was not only her Master but also the one who raised her from a young age, both a Master and a family member. In her heart, her Master held as important a position as her own mother, indispensable. Now, this Master, who upied an important ce in her heart, was going to turn against her and cut off the rtionship. Anyone would feel ufortable in such a situation.


    Master... Zhu Xiaozhu turned her head to look out the car window, her beautiful eyes glistening with a hint of sorrow.


    Feeling Zhu Xiaozhu’s heavy mood, Ling Chen wanted to speak several times but didn’t know what to say. In this matter, saying more wouldn’t help. The key was Zhu Xiaozhu herself, to see if she could figure it out.


    From Ling Chen’s perspective, he hoped Zhu Xiaozhu would draw a clear line with Shi Su and reduce contact in the future. This was not out of selfishness but because of Shi Su’s poor character. If Zhu Xiaozhu stayed with her for a long time, she would inevitably be affected by her.


    With Zhu Xiaozhu’s pure nature, Ling Chen didn’t wish for her to be polluted by the outside world.


    Around twelve noon, Ling Chen and Zhu Xiaozhu finally drove back to East Sea City’s hospital.


    Upon getting out of the car, Ling Chen immediately led Zhu Xiaozhu to rush to the ward without rest.


    Seeing Ling Chen return, Xu Ming and others quickly approached, eagerly asking, "Sixth Brother, how is it? Have you found a solution?"


    "Second Brother, Third Brother, don’t worry. Xiaozhu and I have found the antidote." With that, Ling Chen turned to look at Zhu Xiaozhu and said, "Xiaozhu, could you do it?"


    Zhu Xiaozhu nodded, took the antidote, and walked into the ward while everyone else waited quietly outside.


    A momentter, Zhu Xiaozhu came out of the ward, saying, "Your big brother has already taken the antidote. His condition is basically stable. As long as there are no unexpected events, he will wake up within twenty-four hours."


    "Thank you, Xiaozhu," Ling Chen said gratefully.


    "You’re wee. It’s my duty. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go rest first."


    "Alright, you’ve been running around for so long. Get some rest early."


    Zhu Xiaozhu forced a smile and walked towards the hospital exit. As she was about to return to the dormitory, she saw Ling Chen hurriedly catching up from behind.


    "Xiaozhu, wait!"


    Zhu Xiaozhu turned back to look at the approaching Ling Chen and asked, "What’s up?"


    "Well... you’d better tell the hospital director to help you change your dormitory, and make sure the security of the dormitory is strengthened. I don’t want what happened in the morning to happen again." Ling Chen referred to the kidnapping of Zhu Xiaozhu. If he hadn’t arrived in time, Zhu Xiaozhu would have already been taken away by the kidnappers.


    "For safety, I suggest you report to the police, just in case those peoplee to trouble you again."


    "I understand, thank you for your concern."


    Watching Zhu Xiaozhu’s figure disappear at the corner of the street, Ling Chen let out a soft breath, turned around, and walked towards the ward. However, after only a few steps, Ling Chen heard a familiar yet strange voiceing from behind: "Ling Chen."


    Turning around, Ling Chen scanned with his eyes and immediately locked onto a middle-aged man with an elegant face.


    Seeing the visitor, Ling Chen was suddenly stunned, standing in ce, his expression dazed, noting to his senses for a long time.


    "What, so many years without seeing me, have you forgotten me?" The middle-aged man walked up to Ling Chen with a smile.


    "Dad!" Ling Chen opened his mouth and finally uttered that long-missed address.


    "Good, my good son!" Ling Kun patted Ling Chen’s shoulder with a bright smile, "Do you have time to walk around with me a bit?"


    With his father’s request, how could Ling Chen refuse? He quickly nodded.


    Immediately, the father and son walked in the hospital garden, chatting as they went. Having not seen each other for years, Ling Chen had a lot to say and many doubts, but when it came time to meet, he didn’t know where to start.


    "Dad, why didn’t you directly tell me your identity when you came to Wealthy Manor to see mest time?"


    "My situation was quite dangerous at that time, so I didn’t want to involve you. Son, I suppose you already know, I am the leader of the Secret Society. Unfortunately, the Secret Society has been heavily suppressed by the God Organization, leading to a significant reduction in power, and the resources we can mobilize are very limited now. Luckily, I have my precious disciple."


    "Are you talking about the porridge girl?" Ling Chen responded, "I haven’t seen her for a while."

    "She is busy integrating the Secret Society’s resources. Without her efforts everywhere, we would not have preserved the foundation of the Secret Society. Although its current power is not as strong as before, as long as the foundation remains, it will not take long to grow strong again." Ling Kun paused and then changed the subject, "Ling Chen, the reason I came to see you this time is to exin a few things to you."


    "What things?"


    "I heard you met Ling Tao before."


    "Yes," Ling Chen asked curiously, "Dad, who exactly is Ling Tao? Could it be true what he said, that we are family?"


    Ling Kun nodded, "He’s right; we are indeed family. But the generational rtionships between us are quiteplicated, so you don’t need to ask much about that for now. I originally didn’t want to involve you since this is a deep and treacherous pool that could be life-threatening with any carelessness. However, no one expected that eventually, you’d still get involved in this struggle. I think this might be the fate of our Ling Family, from which no one can escape."


    "Ling Chen, don’t think too much right now. For the time being, the main task for you and me is to deal with the God Organization and uproot their hold as soon as possible. Only bypletely destroying the God Organization can we take the initiative and facilitate future actions. Currently, the God Organization has concentrated its forces domestically, especially in East Sea City. Recently, they have secretly dispatched many personnel into East Sea City to gain firm control and establish a headquarters responsible for all domestic operations."
