<h4>Chapter 1135: Chapter 1142: The Golden Ratio</h4>


    "Where’s my dad?"


    "I told you, he’s on a secret mission right now and can’t reveal his whereabouts for the time being. Don’t worry, your dad’s skills are very strong, there won’t be any danger."


    "Okay, then I won’t ask about that. I just want to know one thing: was it my dad who killed Su Zhengyang and his wife from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?"


    "Ling Chen, I think it’s better for you to know less about this kind of thing."


    "Why?" Ling Chen said in a deep voice, "Do you know this matter has been bothering me all this time? I can’t sleep well, and I’ve been thinking about it every day, unsure of what to do. You know me well, don’t you? If so, you should know that Su He is considered my Master, and Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Master Su Mei is also my friend. Right now, I’m caught in the middle, torn from both sides. I’m not asking anything else now, I just want to know the truth."


    "Perhaps the truth will make you more painful?"


    "That doesn’t matter. Even if it’s more painful, it’s better than me guessing blindly."


    Ling Tao thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Alright. Since you want to know, I might as well tell you. Your father’s involvement in the death of Su Zhengyang and his wife is real. Moreover, he personally killed Su Zhengyang."


    Even though he was mentally prepared, Ling Tao’s admission still made Ling Chen’s heart sink. So it’s true! The rtionship between himself and the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is there, yet his father killed Su Mei’s biological parents. Once the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion learns the truth, I’m afraid they’ll immediately cut ties with me. Furthermore, they might join forces to retaliate against me.


    Exhaling deeply, Ling Chen looked at Ling Tao and said, "Was it your order?"


    "The death of Su Zhengyang and his wife was an ident. We never intended to kill him. It’s just that something happened at that time. If Ling Kun hadn’t acted this way, the dead person might very well have been your father." Saying this, Ling Tao walked up to Ling Chen, patting his shoulder and said, "I know you’re notfortable inside and don’t know how to face the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, but I ask you to trust your father. If it weren’t under special circumstances, your father wouldn’t easily resort to killing. And this matter has a lot ofplexities, it’s not something that can be exined in a few words. When the time is right, I’ll naturally tell you."


    After saying this, Ling Tao left Ling Chen in silence and walked out of the meeting room alone.


    After Ling Tao left, Ling Chen sat quietly on the chair, digesting Ling Tao’s words.


    Ling Kun killed Su Zhengyang and his wife, this undoubtedly puts him in opposition to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. In the future, they can only be enemies, not friends. But what Ling Chen couldn’t understand is why his father would do such a thing? He clearly knows about his rtionship with the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, isn’t this putting himself in a bad position?


    Could it be...he didn’t consider my feelings?


    While pondering, Porridge Girl walked in from outside the meeting room. Looking at the meditating Ling Chen, Porridge Girl said, "Mr. Ling is gone."


    "I know."


    "What did he say to you?" Porridge Girl asked curiously. As a woman with a keen mind, she could sense the change in Ling Chen, as if he had be another person, looking deeply troubled.


    "Nothing." Ling Chen stood up on his own and asked, "Are you going to stay here?"


    Porridge Girl nodded and said, "Mr. Ling just told me that he will soon send someone else to take over the security work at the base. During this period, I must stay here. If everything goes smoothly, I should be able to return to East Sea City in a month."


    "Take care outside yourself. If there’s trouble, call me. There are still many things to handle in East Sea City. I can’t stay here for too long."


    "Alright, I’ll arrange a car for you. There’s a flight tonight that can go directly to East Sea City."


    "Thank you!"


    "What’s there to be polite about? Alright, you should rest for now, I’ll inform you once everything is arranged."


    Evening.


    After twelve o’clock.


    Ling Chen and Qiu Yong and others arrived at East Sea International Airport by ne. This time, only eight of them came back, Jiang Yunkai and others will charter a flight tomorrow to return.


    "Brother, thank you for your hard work this time."


    "What’s so hard about it? To be honest, we just went through the motions, and other things were helped by Ag." Saying this, Qiu Yong looked at Ling Chen and said sincerely, "Ling Cheng, although you didn’t say it, I know you have things on your mind. Whatever the issue, don’t overthink it. No matter what happens, we’ll support you from behind."


    Ling Chen tried hard to squeeze out a smile and nodded slightly, "I know. Thank you, Brother!"


    "Alright, enough of this. Rest early tonight."


    "Let’s get in touch another day."


    Back home, it’s already two in the morning.


    Nanrong Wanqing and the others were long asleep, the house was pitch dark without a bit of light. Ling Chen tiptoed into his bedroom, took a shower, theny on the bed in arge ’X’ shape, eyes staring at the ceiling, quietly thinking.


    After a long time, a soft sigh escaped from Ling Chen’s mouth.


    Perhaps...it’s time to make a decision!


    Next morning.


    Ling Chen yawned, wearing floral shorts, and walked straight out the door.


    "Ling, you’re back?" Seeing Ling Chen appear, Tang Shiyun was very surprised, and ran over to hug Ling Chen’s arm, saying, "Ling, when did you return? You didn’t tell me in advance so I could pick you up."


    "I can find my way, what’s there to pick up."


    While talking, Zhu Xiaozhu and Liu Xiyao simultaneously came out of the bedroom.


    Looking at Ling Chen’s muscr body and those eight evenly sized abs, Zhu Xiaozhu’s pretty face blushed slightly, and her beautiful eyes shed a hint of shyness.


    Compared to Zhu Xiaozhu, Liu Xiyao seemed more bold. She looked at Ling Chen with an appreciative gaze, nodded, and praised, "Your physique is really good, probably better than those fitness coaches."


    Ling Chen proudly smiled, patting his strong chest and said, "That’s right, my physique is rare and of golden proportion."


    Hearing Ling Chen boast, Liu Xiyaoughed and teased, "Really? I think Xiaozhu’s figure is great too, front and back are perfect, why don’t you twopare and see who truly has the golden proportion."


    "Xiyao!" Zhu Xiaozhu’s face flushed red, and she couldn’t help but say with a hint of me, "Why bring me into this out of the blue."


    "You’re no longer young, why are you still so easily shy like a girl? We’re all adults, just joking around, no harm done."


    "Shiyun is still a child. Xiyao, don’t lead her astray."


    Seeing Zhu Xiaozhu call her young, Tang Shiyun immediately disagreed, she straightened her young and tender chest, protesting, "Xiaozhu, I’m already neen, not young anymore."


    Ling Chen secretly nced and tut-tutted. You have to admit, this girl is developing quickly, almost catching up with Zhu Xiaozhu.
