<h4>Chapter 986: Chapter 993: Tang Shiyun’s Concert</h4>


    Since things at the base have settled into a routine, Ling Chen doesn’t need to stay there every day. As a result, he has been able to rx and spend some time with Nanrong Wanqing and Yang Qingling at the Nanrong Family’s home these past few days.


    After lunch, Ling Chen sat on the living room sofa, casually flipping through today’s newspaper. Before long, his eyes were drawn to the headline news.


    On May 14th, Tang Shiyun’s special concert will grandly open at Longyang Stadium in East Sea City.


    Seeing Tang Shiyun’s name, Ling Chen’s mind immediately conjured up her adorable, charming face.


    Thinking carefully, it had been quite a long time since hest saw Tang Shiyun, and he wondered how she had been doingtely.


    Lately, Ling Chen had been preupied with matters concerning the God Organization, leaving him no time or energy to care about anything else. He hadn’t even called Tang Shiyun. Now that he thought about it, he felt a little guilty. However, that girl didn’t call him either. Could it be that she was doing so well now that she had forgotten about him, her big brother?


    After some thought, Ling Chen took out his phone from his pocket, found Tang Shiyun’s number, and dialed it directly.


    After a few rings, the call was quickly connected. Ling Chen slightly raised the corners of his mouth, smiling as he said, "Girl, you..."


    "Who are you looking for?"


    Before Ling Chen could finish speaking, he heard an unfamiliar woman’s voiceing from the other end of the line.


    This wasn’t Tang Shiyun’s voice! Ling Chen was slightly taken aback and asked, "Who are you? Where’s Shiyun?"


    "I’m Miss Tang’s agent. May I ask who you are?"


    "My name is Ling Chen. Could you please pass the phone to Shiyun?"


    "So it’s Mr. Ling." Upon recognizing Ling Chen’s identity, the other party became much more courteous. "Mr. Ling, I apologize, but Miss Tang is currently rehearsing. If you have any messages, I could convey them to her once she’s done."


    Rehearsing?


    Ah yes! There are only about ten days left until Tang Shiyun’s concert, so she must be very busy right now. With that in mind, Ling Chen replied, "Since Shiyun is busy, I won’t disturb her. By the way! Could you let me know where you are rehearsing... Okay, I understand. Thank you!"


    After he hung up the phone, Nanrong Wanqing came down from upstairs and walked straight to Ling Chen’s side.


    "Who were you on the phone with just now?"


    "Shiyun." Ling Chen said with a smile, "I haven’t been in touch with her for a long time, so I called to ask. I just saw the news and heard that she is going to have a concert in East Sea City soon."


    "This news has already spread; only a busy person like you is slow to catch on. I even bought some concert tickets and I’m nning to go watch it."


    Ling Chen teased, "I didn’t expect you to be a fan of Shiyun."


    "Miss Tang’s singing skill is indeed impressive, but I’m not the one who wants to go; it’s Lin who insisted on going."


    "You mean Su Lin?" Ling Chen curiously asked, "Isn’t she interning elsewhere? How does she have time toe back?"


    "She’s a loyal fan of Miss Tang. As soon as she heard about the concert, she called me and asked me to get concert tickets no matter what. The concert is in half a month, and she told me she’d take a few days off toe back early."


    Ling Chen smiled and said, "She’s been away for a few months; I guess she misses home. It’s good for her toe back and take a break. But still, I can’t quite understand why a delicate girl like her would want to study archaeology. She doesn’t seem the type to have such patience."


    "Lin studying archaeology might be influenced by her grandfather. Lin’s grandfather was a famous archaeologist in the country. After he retired, as Lin’s parents’ business grew bigger, they moved abroad to enjoy theirter years. Lin was mostly brought up by her grandfather, so they share a very close bond."


    "Later, there was a major archaeological project in the country, and Lin’s grandfather was invited back. It was after this that he went missing and never returned. Including Lin’s grandfather, all members of that archaeological team went missing without a trace. This incident was a huge blow to Lin, so when choosing her major, she picked archaeology, despite her parents’ strong opposition."


    "I see," Ling Chen nodded. "So, does that mean Lin’s grandfather has already..."


    Nanrong Wanqing sighed softly and said, "It’s been over ten years. If her grandfather were still alive, he would have tried to contact his family. But since there’s been no news, it seems unlikely that he has survived."


    "I didn’t realize Lin’s feelings for her grandfather were so deep. However, archaeology is dangerous work, especially for those on the front lines, where idents can happen at any time. Wanqing, you’re her sister, so maybe you should advise her to find something else to do. If something were to happen, her parents would be worried sick. Oh, by the way!" Ling Chen suddenly changed the topic and asked, "I’ve been at the Nanrong Family’s ce for quite some time but have never met Lin’s parents."


    "They’re busy with their business overseas and rarelye back unless it’s something important. Why, do you want to meet her parents?"


    "Not necessarily, I’m just curious. Lin has been in the country for so long, yet her parents haven’te back to see her."


    "They’re busy with their careers, and since Lin has us to look after her, they feel at ease."


    As they spoke, Nanrong Hao came in from outside the vi and greeted them, "Chen, Jiang Hao is here and would like to see you."


    "Does he need something?"


    Nanrong Hao nced at the sofa where Nanrong Wanqing was sitting and said, "Jiang Hao mentioned he has something to discuss with you. Chen, how about we go over to my ce for a chat?"


    "Since you have things to attend to, go ahead. I’ll go upstairs and chat with your mom." With that, Nanrong Wanqing stood up and went upstairs on her own.


    After Nanrong Wanqing left, Ling Chen followed Nanrong Hao to the vi next door. As soon as they entered, they saw Jiang Hao pacing back and forth in the living room. He walked over quickly, his voice reaching them before he did, "Chen, you finally made it."


    "Why such a rush? What’s happened?" Ling Chen asked.


    "I saw Zhao Zhengxiong today."


    "Zhao Zhengxiong?" Ling Chen raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure you didn’t see it wrong?"


    For some time, Jiang Hao and Nanrong Hao’s main task had been to locate Zhao Zhengxiong. However, Zhao Zhengxiong was very cunning, constantly changing his residence, making it difficult to track his whereabouts. Moreover, since Zhao Zhengxiong had worked with them before, he understood their methods, making it even harder to pinpoint his location.
