<h4>Chapter 1269: Chapter 1577: Heredity (2)</h4>


    Watching Ling Chen leave with a heavy heart, Zhu Qing frowned slightly, a hint of worry shing in her bright eyes. On the way back from the Nanrong Family, Ling Chen was silent, lost in thought, seemingly apletely different person from before.


    After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Qing gritted her teeth and quickly caught up with Ling Chen’s footsteps.


    Back in the room, Ling Chen sat on his bed, daydreaming for a while. He took a sharp dagger out of the drawer of his bedside table. Then, he rolled up his sleeve, revealing his left arm. Taking a deep breath, he ced the dagger above his arm.


    The simple way to prove if I’ve inherited Ling Gengqiu’s mutant gene is to cut myself and see if it heals automatically.


    Biting his steel jaw, Ling Chen swung the dagger in his hand and shed at his own arm. However, just at that moment, there was a ’bang’ as the bedroom door was forcibly opened. Before Ling Chen could react, a figure rushed to the bedside, swiftly knocked the dagger out of his hand, and pinned his body to the bed.


    Feeling the softness of the figure, Ling Chen’s mind went nk, not knowing what had just happened.


    After a brief stupor, Ling Chen moved his body slightly. "Don’t move!" At that moment, a soft voice came. Ling Chen looked closely and found Zhu Qing lying on top of him, her cheeks blushing, with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.


    Ling Chen was stunned, only then realizing why Zhu Qing was shy. Because Zhu Qing’s entire body was pressing on him, and as he moved just now, his chest rubbed against Zhu Qing’s ample bosom.


    Growing up, Zhu Qing had never been in such intimate contact with the opposite sex. Especially the strange feeling from her chest made her extremely shy.


    "Zhu... Lady Zhu..." Ling Chen opened his mouth and asked, "What are you... doing?"


    Zhu Qing’s pretty face turned red, and she hurriedly got off Ling Chen, looking down at her toes, not daring to meet Ling Chen’s gaze.


    Seeing Zhu Qing’s shy appearance, Ling Chen found it amusing. This little girl was quite interesting. Unable to resist teasing, he said, "Lady Zhu, if you want a man, just tell me. I’m willing to make some sacrifices, but isn’t forcing yourself a bit much?"


    Hearing Ling Chen’s jest, Zhu Qing’s face turned even redder. She mustered her courage, red at Ling Chen, and said, "It’s all because of you. I was afraid you were thinking of doing something stupid, so I rushed in to save you."


    "Save me?" Ling Chen was taken aback. Looking at the dagger that had fallen to the ground, he realized, and chuckled, "You thought I was going to take my own life? Come on, Lady Zhu. I fought hard to stay alive. Do you think I’d give up easily?"


    "If not that, why were you trying to cut yourself?"


    "I was just trying an experiment, nothing more." As he said this, Ling Chen suddenly thought of something and looked at Zhu Qing curiously, asking, "By the way! I was in the room, and you were outside. How did you know I was thinking of doing something stupid?"


    This was too coincidental. Could it be this girl had some sort of x-ray vision and could see through walls?


    Faced with Ling Chen’s question, Zhu Qing hesitated then stammered, "I installed a surveince camera in your room. I can monitor your movements with my phone."


    What? Ling Chen was shocked, asking, "You’re monitoring me?"


    "I... I did it for your safety," Zhu Qing said earnestly. "You’re my employer; I don’t want you in any danger."


    Ling Chen smiled bitterly and helplessly, "Lady Zhu, I know you mean well, but I don’t want to be invaded in my privacy. Enough! No more of this. Remove the cameras, and let this go. I don’t want this to happen again. Understood?"


    Jokingly, if he ever brought a woman back and did something indescribable in the room, wouldn’t Zhu Qing see it all? Luckily, he found out early, or else, where would he put his face?


    Reluctantly, Zhu Qing nodded at Ling Chen’s request and strong dissatisfaction, obediently removing all the surveince cameras in the room.


    Ling Chen counted carefully. Zhu Qing had installed a total of six surveince cameras in his room, including audio monitoring equipment, with no dead angles.


    After sending Zhu Qing out, Ling Chen sat alone on the bed, checking the room again to make sure there were no other monitoring devices before hey down on the bed at ease.


    Interrupted by Zhu Qing, Ling Chen had lost the mood to continue his experiment. At that moment, another matter upied his mind, about the Guo Family that Zhu Houchang had mentioned.


    Guo Ming not only coborates with the Zhu Family but is also a major client, having hired over a hundred elite assassins to protect the Guo Family’s security. There must be something fishy. As far as he knew, this generation of the Guo Family only had Guo Ming. Guo Ming had no children under him. Rumor had it Guo Ming had been married twice in his youth but ended both without offspring. Now, he’s too old to have children.


    It seemed necessary to investigate this matter. Ling Chen thought to himself.


    Three days went by in the blink of an eye.


    Having been gone for so long, Ling Chen took the time to apany his family and make further ns for what was toe.


    That day, just after lunch, Ling Chen received a call from Jiang Yunkai.


    "Right, I got it. I’lle over immediately." After hanging up, Ling Chen greeted Yang Qingling and then drove to the airport by himself.


    An hourter, Ling Chen met Jiang Yunkai and others outside the airport exit. However, Ling Chen’s personal arrival wasn’t for Jiang Yunkai but for the two special guests.


    "Miss Lin, we meet again." Ling Chen walked up to Lin Han with a smile and greeted her.


    "Ling Chen."


    "Big brother." Lin Chun poked her head out from behind Lin Han. Seeing it was Ling Chen, a smile immediately spread across her little face, and she quickly rushed into Ling Chen’s arms.


    "Little one, I didn’t lie to you. I told you we’d meet soon." Saying this, Ling Chen patted Lin Chun’s little head and looked up at Lin Han, "Miss Lin, let’s go, get in the car."


    "Chen, if there’s nothing else, we’ll head back first," Jiang Yunkai spoke up.


    "Sure, you guys go ahead. Call me if there’s anything."


    In the car, Lin Chun excitedly looked out at the towering buildings, her little face flushed red, chattering about the experience of flying. For a child born in the countryside and in financial hardship, flying was a very novel experience.


    Although Lin Han had stayed in big cities, she was always frugal, typically using trains for long-distance travel and had never flown.


    "Ling Chen, why... why did you bring us to East Sea City this time?" After hesitating for a while, Lin Han couldn’t help asking.
