29: Chapter 29 I Want Revenge, Ruoxue is in Trouble

Gradually, Ling Weixian felt an indescribable comfort throughout his body, and the pain he had been suffering from vanished.

He opened his eyes abruptly and found the entire world to be incredibly bright.

"This feeling..." Ling Weixian's eyes moistened.

No one knew better than him the changes occurring in his body at this moment.

It was like being reborn.

"Jiang Chen..." Ling Weixian reached out his hands and gripped Jiang Chen's tightly.

Before Jiang Chen could react, Ling Weixian fell to his knees with a thud right in front of him.

"Jiang Chen, please accept my bow!"

"From today on, you are like a second parent to me!"

Ling Weixian completely disregarded his status as the head of the Jinling Ling Family and knelt respectfully before Jiang Chen.

The members of the Ling Family were stunned on the spot when they saw this.

Ling Shuang, in particular, subconsciously covered her mouth.

She had not expected her father, who was usually incredibly proud and possessed countless honorary titles, to willingly kneel before Jiang Chen.

But upon reflection, it made perfect sense.

If not for Jiang Chen's intervention, Ling Weixian would likely have died long ago.

It was Jiang Chen who had pulled him back from the gates of death and cured his cancer; he was truly like a second parent.

It was understandable that Ling Weixian was so emotional.

"Uncle Ling, please, get up."

Jiang Chen quickly reached out to help Ling Weixian up and said with a smile, "You were friends with my father and are my elder; how could I accept such a grand gesture from you?"

Ling Weixian said with an excited face, "Jiang Chen, my life is yours to command. If you need anything from me in the future, just say the word."

Hearing Ling Weixian say this, Jiang Chen indeed had something to ask, so he said, "Uncle Ling, this is not the place to talk. Let's go inside."

"Very well!"

Ling Weixian nodded and waved for the members of the Ling Family to go about their business.

He then personally led Jiang Chen into the Ling Family mansion.

Once they were seated, Jiang Chen looked at Ling Weixian and asked, "Uncle Ling, how much do you know about the destruction of the Jiang Family?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Weixian's eyes shrank, and his face filled with terror.

The process by which the Jiang Family was destroyed had been truly horrifying.

The Jiang Family had once been one of the four great wealthy families in Jinling.

Their Family business, the Jiang Group, was a super-conglomerate with assets reaching hundreds of billions, and its business Domain extended into every sector in Jinling, making it the aircraft carrier of the Jinling business world.

More importantly, the Jiang Family had been prosperous.

The Jiang couple had four sons; besides Jiang Chen, the other three were heroes who galloped on the battlefield, enjoying the glory of a War God.

However, three years ago, the three sons died one after another on the battlefield, their bodies never recovered.

That same year, the Jiang couple also died in a gas explosion at a banquet.

Subsequently, a mysterious force flooded into Jinling.

Almost overnight, the Jiang Family and the Jiang Group were devoured and completely vanished from Jinling.

"Jiang Chen, are you planning to..." Ling Weixian stared straight at Jiang Chen, his voice trembling.

Jiang Chen nodded naturally, "That's right. I will make everyone who participated in the devouring of the Jiang Family pay the price, no matter how powerful their background is!"

His voice was calm, yet it stirred up an invisible Killing Intent in the hall.

The sheer Killing Intent enveloped Ling Weixian, making his hair stand on end.

The situation in Jinling was about to change.

The youngest son of the Jiang Family had been released from prison and had returned with heaven-defying skills to take revenge.

Not a single person involved in the devouring of the Jiang Family back then would be able to escape.

Ling Weixian suddenly snapped out of his shock, steadied his emotions, and said, "Jiang Chen, if I were your parents, I would never let you seek revenge. I would only hope that you could live the rest of your life peacefully..."

Jiang Chen raised his hand to interrupt Ling Weixian, his voice cold, "Uncle Ling, you are not me; you do not understand the hatred in my heart."

Knowing he could not dissuade Jiang Chen, Ling Weixian had to explain, "I do know some things about the destruction of the Jiang Family. Back then, a mysterious force destroyed the Jiang Family, prompting countless other forces to devour the Jiang Family's assets."

"They broke the massive Jiang Group into pieces and, through business operations such as asset restructuring and forced acquisitions, caused the Jiang Group to disappear completely."

"The Jiang Group building has now been renamed the Chifeng Group."

Ling Shuang, who had been sitting on the side without saying much, was startled upon hearing this and almost blurted out, "The Chifeng Group?"

"Second Sister-in-law, do you know it?" Jiang Chen asked, looking at Ling Shuang.

Ling Shuang nodded and said, "This Chifeng Group is not very clean; it has colluded with certain underground forces. Many cases of young women disappearing in Jinling in recent years are related to this Chifeng Group."

Jiang Chen looked at Ling Weixian and asked, "Uncle Ling, what is the background of this Chifeng Group?"

Ling Weixian shook his head and expressed a confused look, "The chairman of the Chifeng Group is named Zhou Qifeng. His background is very mysterious; we only know he came from the provincial capital and rarely makes public appearances."

Jiang Chen's eyes turned cold upon hearing this.

Whether or not this Zhou Qifeng had anything to do with the destruction of the Jiang Family, he had to die.

After obtaining this lead, Jiang Chen stood up and bid farewell to Ling Weixian and the others.

Ling Weixian led his wife and daughter to see Jiang Chen off.

Originally, Ling Shuang had intended to see Jiang Chen back, but Jiang Chen refused, telling her to take good care of Ling Weixian.

Watching Jiang Chen's retreating figure, Ling Weixian suddenly turned to look at Ling Shuang and asked out of the blue, "Shuang'er, what do you think of Jiang Chen?"

"Huh?" Ling Shuang was startled by her father's sudden question. "Dad, what are you talking about?"

Ling Weixian looked again in the direction Jiang Chen had left and said earnestly, "Shuang'er, ever since Undefeated War God Jiang Chuan died on the battlefield, you haven't dated anyone else, looking down on those so-called excellent men."

"But I can tell you clearly that Jiang Chen is an even more excellent existence than Undefeated War God Jiang Chuan."

"Besides, Jiang Chen is Undefeated War God Jiang Chuan's own brother. I think you should consider Jiang Chen. After all, he is also of the Jiang Family. If you marry Jiang Chen, Undefeated War God Jiang Chuan's spirit in heaven can rest in peace."

Mrs. Ling also had a very good impression of Jiang Chen. She stepped forward, took Ling Shuang's small hand, and said, "That's right, Shuang'er. I think Jiang Chen is quite good. He could even cure cancer, and he has a boundless future. You should consider him."

"Mom, Dad, why are you suddenly saying this? I'm not talking to you anymore!"

Ling Shuang's heroic face instantly turned crimson. She quickly broke free from her mother and ran into the villa, looking flustered.

Ling Weixian and his wife exchanged a look, revealing meaningful expressions.

Jiang Chen went to the Chinese medicine market to buy some medicinal herbs and walked home.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard a sound of painful groaning.

He saw Gu Ruoxue curled up on the sofa, her hands clutching her abdomen.

Her gentle and beautiful face was as pale as paper, beads of cold sweat seeping out, and her whole body was trembling.

"Sister-in-law, what's wrong with you?" Jiang Chen quickly walked up to Gu Ruoxue and asked urgently.

Gu Ruoxue managed to open her eyes with difficulty, and a smile appeared on the corners of her lips. "I... I'm fine..."

Just then, someone else walked in quickly. It was Grandma Jiang who had returned.

"Xiao Chen, you're back!" Grandma Jiang was carrying a large bag of medicine; it looked like she had gone out to buy medicine.

Jiang Chen quickly asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with Sister-in-law?"

Grandma Jiang looked at the pained Gu Ruoxue on the sofa and said with empathy, "This is an ailment your sister-in-law was born with. It flares up once a month. Every time it flares up, her whole body becomes icy cold, as if it were freezing. We've seen many doctors, but none could find the cause."

"Sister-in-law, let me check your pulse."

Jiang Chen's fingers touched Gu Ruoxue's fair and delicate wrist, and it was instantly ice-cold, as if he were touching a block of ice.

Even Jiang Chen couldn't help but shiver.

He quickly gripped Gu Ruoxue's wrist, and then his expression changed drastically. "This... this is..."
