Looking at Ling Chen's depressed appearance, Ling Kun spoke: "This matter is indeed a bit troublesome, with the resources that the Ling family currently has, it is difficult to help you." In fact, you can't blame others for your current situation. If you had been ruthless and used the matter of Su He to directly destroy Tianji Pavilion, then today's incident would not have happened. ”

Ling Chen touched his nose and said with a wry smile: "Dad, I'm not an executioner, how can I bear to kill so many people." Forget it, since you can't help it, then I'll see for myself, maybe there are other solutions. ”

At this time, Ling Kun, who had been silent, said: "Although this matter is troublesome, it is not that there is no way at all. However, I'm not sure right now, and even if I told you, it wouldn't work. In this way, you can do it yourself first, and the Ling family will try their best to help you. ”

"Okay, then I'll thank you first. ”

"It's all family, say thank you. Speaking of this, Ling Kun changed his words and said, "I heard that you were seriously injured some time ago and lay in the hospital for two weeks?"

"Dad, do you know about this?" Ling Chen was a little surprised, he didn't say a word about this matter, just because he was afraid that his parents would worry.

"Nonsense! Although the Ling family is not as good as it was back then, the news is quite well-informed, how could we not know that such a big thing happened in Donghai City. It's you, kid, who dare to hide it from us. If I hadn't known that you were fine, I would have gone to Tokai City a long time ago. ”

Ling Chen smiled embarrassedly: "It's not that I don't want you to worry. ”

Ling Kun said: "I'm your father, it's the right thing to worry about you." Remember, if you dare to hide something from us in the future, see how I clean you up. ”

"Eh, that's right!" As he spoke, Ling Chen suddenly thought of something and asked, "How is that Ling Jun now?"

Ling Jun used to be a member of the high-ranking members of the Ling family in the north, since the north and the south merged into one family, Ling Jun originally wanted to follow Ling Chen and them together, but, given Ling Kun's character, Ling Chen didn't want to associate with people like him. So, after Ling Kun took charge of the Ling family, he gave a part of the property to Ling Jun and let him develop on his own. In any case, Ling Jun was a Heavenly Rank master, so Ling Chen was very concerned about where he went.

That Ling Jun took a large sum of money, found a place with a good environment and bought a big mansion, and hired more than a dozen servants to serve him. Recently, I also heard that he seems to have found a young wife in her twenties. Ling Tao sighed and said, "He is no different from those people, he only knows pleasure, and it was the most correct choice to separate from him at the beginning." ”

Ling Chen asked curiously, "How much property did you give him?"

"It's not a little, more than one billion dollars, and some shares in some industries, even if he doesn't do anything, the annual net profit is eighty or ninety million, which is enough for him to live a luxurious life for a lifetime. ”

After listening to Ling Kun's words, Ling Chen asked, "Dad, how many people are there in our Ling family?" ”

"There are now one hundred and forty-two people in the Ling family, and you didn't see them because they didn't live here. ”

"So many people?" Ling Chen was taken aback, he also thought that after the Northern Ling family ended the struggle with the Southern Ling Family, there were only a few dozen Ling families left in the end, but he didn't expect that there were hundreds of people, it seemed that he still underestimated the scale of the Ling family.

Ling Tao explained: "The forces of our Ling family are divided into two forces, one is literary and one is martial, just like your father and I, who are mainly responsible for the improvement of the Ling family's strength, and some people are responsible for doing business and providing a steady stream of funds for our Ling family. Therefore, only our part of the people who really lose, and the other Ling family members are all located all over the country, running large and small companies. With the addition of their children, the number of the Ling family can exceed 100. ”

Speaking of this, Ling Tao glanced at Ling Kun and continued: "You came back just in time this time, and in a day or two, everyone from the Ling family will come back." ”

"What are you doing here?"

"Attending the ceremony, of course. Although your father succeeded the head of the Ling family, we have not yet held a ceremony, and all the Ling family members must be present to witness and publicize it before his identity as the head of the family can be officially recognized. If I'm not mistaken, some people will jump out and look for trouble. ”

Ling Chen asked puzzledly, "Uncle Ling, why would anyone trouble with Dad." ”

"I just said that the Ling family is divided into two factions, the Wen faction and the Wu faction, the Wen faction is mainly responsible for providing funds for the Ling family, and the rest don't care about anything, the Wu faction is responsible for fighting against the Ling family in the south, and the two factions cooperate with each other to make the Ling family get to where it is today. However, all along, everyone has a mustard in their hearts, and that is the division of credit. Some of them believe that the Ling family of the Wen faction, who is responsible for doing business and making money, has made great contributions, why the top leaders of the Ling family are all people from the martial arts faction, which makes many people of the Wen faction feel uncomfortable. It's just that in order to deal with foreign enemies, even if some people are not happy, no one comes out to make trouble, and it is a big deal to work together to fight against foreign enemies. At present, the Ling family is not divided into north and south, and finally ushered in reunification, and at this time, someone will definitely stand up and seek benefits for the people of the Wen faction. ”

"I see. After listening to Ling Tao's explanation, Ling Chen finally understood the reason.

"Uncle Ling, even if the people of the Wen Sect have opinions, it is estimated that they will not dare to offend you, after all, the Ling family's force is in your hands. The power comes out of the barrel of a gun, and whoever has the biggest fist is in charge, unless those people in the Wen faction want to ask for their own hardships. ”

"I hope so. Anyway, it's a family, and we don't want to cause unpleasant things. ”

After a while, Ling Gengqiu returned to the living room accompanied by Yang Qingling, and after everyone chatted for a while, Yang Qingling got up and went to the kitchen to prepare a meal. Although there are many nannies in the Ling family, it is rare for Ling Gengqiu to be here this time, and Yang Qingling naturally wants to contribute his cooking skills.

After finishing the meal, Ling Chen looked at the time and thought that there was still something going on in the Falcon Company, so he said: "Dad, I'll go back first, remember to inform me when the Ling family gathers in two days, I will definitely come to participate." ”

After the words fell, Ling Chen said to Ling Gengqiu again: "Ancestor, you just stay in the Ling family these days and have a good exchange with your father, what do you think?"

"No problem, I'm the same everywhere anyway, as long as I have food and drink. ”

It would be better if there were women!Ling Chen silently added a sentence for Ling Gengqiu in his heart.

Coming out of Ling's house, Ling Chen said to the driver, and the car immediately drove to the road. After about forty minutes of driving, Ling Chen came to the military compound in the capital.

After getting out of the car, Ling Chen carried the gift he had just bought in the mall and walked straight towards the military compound. After verification by the security department, Ling Chen was allowed to enter.
