Chapter 565: Earth-Shattering Truth! Ling Lie From the Ling Family!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ling Family, Beijing.

Ling Lie sent Cui Lao to Qingshui City one month ago to meet Ling Yun first. That was to prevent Ling Yun from getting a huge shock and not accepting the Ling Family when they appeared.

The Ling Family was on a decline. Ling Lie’s thought was to find this poor grandson of his and allow him to enjoy the rest of his years.

That was before Cui Lao met Ling Yun and sent waves of shocking news into Ling Lie’s ears!

Ling Yun’s unparalleled medical skill, that horrifying cultivation speed, his love for his friends and family—all of it shook Cui Lao to his core!

One Ling Yun humiliated the Sun Family twice!

That was, without a doubt, the best news that Ling Lie had heard in eighteen years!

The glorious days of the Ling Family were just around the corner once Ling Yun returned!

God blessed the Ling Family. It was a gift from God, so how could Ling Lie sit still?

He was elated and wanted to see his baby grandson, no matter the cost.

He could wait no longer. Ling Lie packed the gift he had prepared for Ling Yun along with a few pieces of clothing. He was about to rush to Qingshui when he received two shocking pieces of news!

His second son, Ling Yue, and third son, Ling Xiao, were missing!

They weren’t contactable and seemed to have evaporated into thin air!

Misfortune begets blessings and blessings begets misfortune.

He found his grandson but lost two sons, worsening the situation of the Ling Family. Ling Lie’s hair turned white overnight!

Great joy begets sorrow!

Ling Lie knew immediately that his third son, Ling Xiao, lost in this gamble.

The tragic incident happened eighteen years ago, but the enemies were still lurking around in the darkness!

Ling Lie didn’t dare meet Ling Yun since the fate of his two sons was unclear. He might bring disaster to this dear grandson that he had not even met.

Ling Lie canceled his plans to Qingshui City decisively. He recalled Cui Lao immediately and discussed countermeasures with his eldest son, Ling Zhen.

That was the reason Ling Lie had yet to go to Qingshui City and why Cui Lao left Mansion Number One suddenly.

No matter how long they talked, they had yet to find a good way out. They didn’t even know why the enemy captured Ling Yue and Ling Xiao!

Was there a leak on the search for Ling Yun? Or was it their old enemies?

The enemy was in the dark. Grandpa Ling dared not take another step rashly. He could only wait and bear with it.

Returning Ling Yun to his rightful place?

How could that happen? The Ling Family would never see Ling Yun’s mother again. Now that Ling Xiao, Ling Yun’s father, was missing, how could Ling Yun reunite with his family?

Luckily, only a few people knew about the disappearance. Neither the wives nor children of Ling Yue and Ling Xiao knew.

Ling Lie didn’t want this matter to blow up. He gave Ling Zhen an absolute order to put a lid on this matter. If not, there would only be one outcome — kill!

If anyone was curious, Ling Yue was mediating behind closed doors, and Ling Xiao was being punished for something he did wrong.

The days passed in agony.

In the past month, Ling Lie would occasionally hear some news of Ling Yun, but nothing about his two sons.

Ling Yue and Ling Xiao were gone completely.

What was strange was that Cui Lao, who made contact with Ling Yun, encountered nothing out of the ordinary!

On this day, the increasingly frail Ling Lie finally called on Cui Lao.

Both of them could see the frustration, hatred, anger, and helplessness in each other’s eyes!

The silence was piercing!

In the end, Cui Lao was the first one to speak up. His voice was a little hoarse. “Master, fortunately, the young master is still safe. You have to think positive, your health is important...”

“Think positive! How do you want me to think positive! I will never bow down!” Ling Lie’s voice was even more hoarse. A fire raged in his body.

“Xiao Er made a mistake when he was young, but he paid the price. My Ling Family also paid the price and bore the humiliation over the past 18 years. Isn’t it enough?

“Eighteen years! Even if the love between Xiao Er and the Holy Virgin of the Devil Sect was wrong, shouldn’t this punishment have been repaid over the past eighteen years? Why won’t they just let us go?

“I’ve finally found my grandson after much difficulty, but now they took two of my sons away. Cui Lao, tell me, how should I think positive?”

His frustration had finally broken out, and he vented on Cui Lao!

Cui Lao was the only one Ling Lie could open his heart to.

It was something that he couldn’t do even with Ling Zhen. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust his son, but if he as the head of the family crashed, the Ling Family was bound to be done for!

Cui Lao tightened his fist as he waited quietly for Ling Lie to vent. He knew that Ling Lie was unwilling and humiliated!

Eighteen years ago, they were almost on par with the Long Family, but now they could survive only because the Long Family allowed them to survive. They were just a laughing stock within the seven big families in Beijing.

Ling Lie gradually calmed down, only to find two streaks of tears flowing down his face.

“Master, things may not be as bad as we think.” Cui Lao fought back his own tears as he tried to comfort Ling Lie.

“Please think of it this way. First, Young Master Ling Yun is still doing very well in Qingshui City. I heard that he just obtained a dozen luxury cars, and his clinic will be opened tomorrow...

“Secondly, Ling Xue has been deployed everywhere in the Condor Team. She is also doing well, and the rest of your grandchildren are also alright...

“I think this could prove two things. One, Ling Yue and Ling Xiao’s disappearances could be because of something else, something entirely unrelated to Young Master Ling Yun. Second, I believe that even if someone captured them, they would just be used as pawns at a critical point. They should still be alive.

“Even if the enemy were to come, we don’t have the power to kill them. They really didn’t have to take the additional step to capture your sons...”

Ling Lie couldn’t afford to collapse now. Ling Yun could really have nothing to return to if he did!

Cui Lao’s words were mainly to open up Ling Lie’s vision and perspective.

Grandpa Ling was like a drowning person who suddenly found a straw to clutch at. He raised his head abruptly and wiped his tears away. “What are you suggesting, Cui Lao?”

“My suggestion is for me to go to Qingshui City and meet Young Master on your behalf again...”

“Absolutely not! How can I face Ling Yun when my family is in tatters!

“Moreover, Ling Yun is doing well. That is my glimmer of hope now. What if someone were to find trouble with him? How could I ever face my poor Xiao Er and his wife?”

The most undesirable thing to Ling Lie now would be for Ling Yun to meet with trouble as well. At least someone of his bloodline would survive even if the Ling Family were to perish!

With Ling Yun’s current abilities, it wouldn’t be difficult to imagine a day that the Ling Family would reign above the whole of Huaxia!

Cui Lao shook his head slightly and coughed. “Master, apologies, I can’t agree with you.”

“That is because you don’t know Young Master. He is different from the other nouveau riches!”

Cui Lao would always visibly swell with pride whenever he mentioned Ling Yun. “Young Master is a genius above geniuses. The other geniuses aren’t even qualified to carry his shoe!”

“His amazing medical skills, his speed of cultivation, his endless tactics, and that incredible ability. He has long surpassed ordinary people, even practitioners like us!

“Young Master is all rounded. He is humble when he needs to be and is bold when he needs to be. He seems to be cold-blooded and ruthless, but he is actually kind. He seems to be joking around but is very decisive. He doesn’t follow the norms, but I have never seen him suffer a loss!

“I have full confidence that Young Master will be able to pull us out of the mud as long as he is willing to return to the Ling Family! He will create a huge wave in Huaxia!”

Cui Lao hardly praised anyone, so Ling Lie was stunned when he heard his evaluation of Ling Yun!

“Is my precious grandson as powerful as you say?” Ling Lie wavered.

“But we have so many enemies, and he is just an eighteen-year-old child...” He was extremely worried at the same time.

Cui Lao knew that he had pushed the right buttons. “Master, Young Master has a good impression of me. If you are alright with me, give me a month. Just a month. I promise to bring Young Master in front of you!” Cui Lao flashed a confident smile.
