Chapter 841: Observing the Past
After seeing the tube of potion in the box, Chen Chuan sat there without moving. Just as he stared at it, the thing floated up from inside by itself.
The He siblings looked on in amazement. They had never seen such a scene before, but they thought this should be the ability possessed by a fighter.
At this time, cracks appeared on the glass tube, but no sound was heard. Then the liquid inside turned into wisps of blue mist and gradually disappeared.
In the past, Chen Chuan had to absorb these potions internally, but now it is no longer necessary. The potions can be absorbed into the body by simply covering them with a biofield.
He closed his eyes, and as he absorbed the potion, scenes and images from the past flashed before his eyes one after another, as if he had experienced them himself.
After a long time, he opened his eyes, and there was a faint flickering light in them.
Is that so...
No wonder what happened later.
This memory potion was the most crucial part of the incident. The difference was that it was left by my father.
With these, I have almost figured out the cause and effect of the whole incident, and completely connected what happened more than ten or even twenty years ago.
The disappearance of my parents was not an accident, but had a direct and profound connection with the original company, and the key point was Gao Yuling.
Who could have imagined that Gao Yuling, who seemed inconspicuous among the Gao generation, actually had extraordinary importance within the original company. My parents were involved in it passively or actively because of this person.
If no one pursued this matter, it might have ended there, but he would not let it end there.
And from this, not to mention the past attack, the incident targeting me some time ago might be related to this. If so, it might be because of my appearance that the person behind the scenes thought of something, so he took action again.
Seeing that he hadn't said anything for a long time, He Zhilan asked worriedly, "Xiao Chuan, are you okay?"
Chen Chuan looked at her and said, "I'm fine. I've already understood the basic situation. Thank you, seniors."
"It's okay, I'm glad I could help you."
He Zhilan said: "We have a very good relationship with Senior Sister Zhen, and she usually doesn't hide anything from us, so we roughly know some of the situation and we also know that she is involved in something.
That day she sent us a box like this and asked us to keep it for her for a long time, saying that someone would come to pick it up and asked us to try not to contact her during that time.
He Ruihai said, "We later thought that Senior Sister Zhen might have anticipated something, so this must be something she left for you. We can only guess who was involved in Senior Sister Zhen's disappearance, and we were worried that you would act impulsively after learning the truth, so we wanted to advise you. But since you are a fighter, that is a situation we cannot understand, so there is no need for us to do such unnecessary things."
"Yes, and that biography. Please wait a moment." He Zhilan returned upstairs and brought over another piece of letter paper. "This is the letter that Senior Sister sent me. Senior Sister Zhen rarely asks for favors, so we think this is very important and have been keeping it safely."
Chen Chuan took it. It was a typewritten letter written in Yu Zhen's tone, but He Zhilan accidentally revealed the truth, because the person who sent the potion was not her mother, but her father Chen Qiyang, and it was sent in her name without telling Yu Zhen.
Including the tube of red potion and those combination locks, they were all operated by Chen Qiyang. Yu Zhen actually didn't know about it. All she left was the memory potion.
He Ruihai said, "We waited for a long time, but there was no news from Senior Sister Zhen. Coincidentally, a close fellow disciple working in the Chirogado Confederation wrote to us asking for help, so we thought about it and decided to go there to help."
He sighed and said, "We originally wanted to come back after we finished our work, so that we could come back to teach you. But unfortunately, we encountered the inter-confederate company war at that time. When we arrived, that fellow disciple and his entire family were killed. We later tracked down the murderer and killed him.
But that man is quite influential. He has a half-brother who's a senior executive at a major company. We've been constantly hunted by this company, which also has considerable influence back home. So, for years, we've been hiding abroad. It wasn't until this year, when Canglong and Yuanyang Development Group took over the overseas market, a place beyond the reach of their forces, that we were able to return."
He looked at Chen Chuan and said apologetically, "Not being able to teach you is the thing we feel most guilty about."
"Yes, Xiaochuan, I'm sorry." He Zhilan was also very guilty, "Senior Sister Zhen and brother-in-law are gone, and we were unable to help you."
Chen Chuan shook his head and said seriously, "I don't blame you two."
Judging from the memory potion, the fact that his parents asked these two to be his teachers was actually just a brief mention at the beginning, and it was not a solemn promise. Even if the two did not come, it would not be a big deal, not to mention that they both had their own difficulties.
Moreover, these two people have kept his things for so many years, and just now they persuaded him that if they didn't really care about him, they would not do this. They would just try to get rid of the trouble and would not care about his life or death. It is really rare for a mother to make friends with such sincere friendship.
He Ruihai said, "Xiaochuan, what are you going to do?"
Chen Chuan said, "I will resolve this matter in my own way. Don't worry, seniors. I know what I need to face. I will not act impulsively before I am fully prepared."
He Ruihai couldn't help but nod. Although they had no right to say anything about what Chen Chuan did, he couldn't help but feel relieved when he saw him handling the problem calmly and rationally.
Chen Chuan looked at the two of them and said, "Seniors, it's been a while since you two returned to Dashun. I have a lot to ask you. I'm taking an airship this time. Why don't you come back with me?"
The He siblings looked at each other, and He Zhilan said, "Xiaochuan, thank you. We know you want to take care of us, but compared to the hardships you've endured, although we've been abroad these years, we haven't been living too badly, and we still have many students to teach here."
He Ruihai said, "Students on the island have few options. We teach martial arts here, which at least gives them a chance. People from the Sino-Ocean Development Group have also approached us and provided us with a lot of financial support. This way, we can see things through to the end and finish what we have done here."
Chen Chuan nodded. He respected the ideas of both people.
He Zhilan then said, "Xiao Chuan, are you planning to go back just like this? Why not stay for two days before leaving? Although this place is remote, the fruits produced on the island are very delicious, and the people on the island are very warm and hospitable. Also, I haven't seen Teacher Fang for a long time. Can you tell me about Teacher Fang's current situation?"
Chen Chuan happily said yes. Although he had some memories of the past, there were still many details missing. He wanted to know more from the two of them, and he also wanted to know about the company that was hunting them down.
On the west coast of Linax, a huge cruise ship was sailing on the sea, with two warships following on the left and right sides, and three combat airships and a signal airship accompanying it above.
In the luxurious main cabin of the cruise ship, a man in exquisite clothes was sitting there. He was wearing ancient clothes from the East Continent, and his sitting posture was very consistent with the demeanor of scholars in the old times.
He looked very young, but his eyes were more profound than his appearance allowed, and on his neck one could see the almost imperceptible lines of the implant.
In front of him was Chen Chuan's photo and his resume. This wasn't the first time he'd seen the photo, but every time he saw it, he felt...
He murmured, "It's so similar."
He picked up the resume again and looked at the description on it. He became a fighter before the age of 20. Although there have been such examples in the past, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.
He stared at the photo and whispered, "Bloodline like that must not remain in the world." Regardless of whether he guessed wrong or not, even if there was a slight possibility that it was as he guessed, it would not be allowed.
At this moment, a glimmer of green light flashed in his eyes. At this time, there was a call from outside. He raised his head and said, "Mr. Xiang, how do you feel?"
A voice from the other side said, "I've seen the records. He's certainly not a simple person, but he's probably just starting out as a martial artist. However, martial artists are different from one another. There are boundaries that remain uncrossed, creating insurmountable gaps between them. If we were to face him, I'm confident I could defeat him."
The man said, "But you can't move. As soon as you show up, Dashun will definitely target you, and they know it's the company's instructions."
The person on the other side said, "So I'm going to ask professionals to come forward. I've found a suitable person, Calvino Noce, an internationally renowned cleaner."
The man asked, "Is he okay?"
"This person is quite powerful and has extensive assassination experience. His vow is to kill a fighter every year. If he fails, he will die. So even if he fails, it has nothing to do with the company. If he succeeds, we won't have to worry about it."
"Are there any specific arrangements?"
"I already have one. I can't possibly do it in the central city, and the target is in a position. If I do that, it would be tantamount to provoking Dashun, so I can only act when he goes to the fusion area."
The man said, "I heard that your previous attempt to track down his whereabouts was unsuccessful?"
"Indeed, the target is more cautious than we imagined. Fortunately, the company has other collaborators there. Their desire to kill this man is even stronger than ours. They will cooperate with us this time. As long as there is an opportunity, the people we have arranged will take action."
The man said, "I hope to receive good news from you soon, and..." He emphasized, "I hope you're the only one who knows this."
The voice on the other end paused for a moment before saying, "Okay, Mr. Gao."
