They left immediately after they were done. The elder boarded the private jet in quiet steps. Now there was no more burden to convince Ling to come to the Bo Family's annual meeting.
When the group of guards were no longer seen by them, the person beside elder Bo asked curiously, "Elder, Young Master Chen's guard really doesn't allow us to enter. However, why do you have to be so courteous to that guard?"
The others who heard this also felt very strange. The group of guards did not invite them to enter. They may not dare either. Merely, being extremely polite to a guard in the northern wilderness, did not seem like the usual style of elder.
"No need to think about it," the elder did not smile casually, he looked rather solemn.
Seeing the response of the elder like this, they did not ask anymore and just smiled. He said, "This time Young Master Chen agrees. I don't think this mission will be completed."
"I never expected anything like this either. But this time it will be fun. Young Master Yushen Island had already almost developed into a second-rate island. He must have worked very hard. While the northern region of Young Master Chen still remained like this. Cih, if it was me, I wouldn't go back to the Bo Family even if I died" said one of the people.
Everyone agreed with his words and smiled, except for the elder. He frowned and felt that something was wrong.
The others could not feel it, but he could easily sense that the guard had already been at the fifth level.
What is fifth level? In the Bo Family, the fifth level could be considered a genius. Bo Yushen was a genius at the sixth level. Exclude Ling who was indeed terrible, it was really not easy to reach the fifth level at this age.
However, it was the guards that Ling had hired at the border. Was it a coincidence or was Ling doing it on purpose? Or did he miss something?
However, this elder did not want to believe that Ling had already developed the northern region. After all, for him Ling did not have any resources. He could only believe that Ling had reached the seventh level.

Right now, Ling who was talking to Su Wen Ai and the others, he received word from the guard.
"It seems like they have made up their minds" Su Wen Ai said. He poured the tea into his glass quietly. Over the past year, not much has changed from him. Only, his aura was now more stable.
"Pregnant. We're going to the Bo Family tomorrow. I'll go see my grandfather and mother first" Ling said. He stood up and rolled up his sleeves.
"Tomorrow? Isn't the show the day after tomorrow?" liam asked in surprise.
Ling didn't seem to care much, "Since they already wanted to see me so badly, I shouldn't have let them down, right?"

Chen Qi and Chen Lin had been brought to tour around here. Ling could not find them, but this also gave him the chance to solve his problem.
As he walked into the office in his private building, the person guarding outside looked uneasy.
"What's wrong?" Ling stopped walking. He looked at the guard suspiciously.
"No ... no ...," the guard answered hesitantly and glanced at the office door. After that, he did not say anything and hurriedly left.
Ling saw his steps somewhat riled up.
Ling touched his chin and opened the door. As he was about to ask someone to stop the guard, he saw a familiar figure inside the office.
"Why are you here?" Ling looked very surprised.
He could no longer have someone stop the guard. There, a cold figure sat on the chair and faced him. However, that person lowered his head like he saw something. Ling could not see his face clearly, but he was very familiar with his stature.
Zhuo Xia looked up when he heard Ling's voice. He just looked at her and said nothing.
However, Ling saw his gaze deeper than before. Zhuo Xia did not look pleased. There was a cold glint reflected from his eyes.
Then, Ling also heard her cold voice, "Did you know it was Long Hua?"
Ling thought for a few seconds, second-guessing why Zhuo Xia could be here. When Zhuo Xia asked, Ling knew what his purpose was. He immediately replied, "It doesn't matter."
There was no emotion on his face.
"How much do you remember?" zhuo Xia asked with a heavy sigh.
Ling smiled, but did not look smiling, "No more, no less."
Zhuo Xia understood. Ling must have remembered it a little. He was deep in thought and did not know what to say.
Ling was also just leaning against the door with a calm expression.
"I remember there were two explosives. Why did you use the last one?" zhuo Xia asked after he had been silent for a while.
Ling replied, "Hm, that's how it is."
However, Ling clenched his hands tightly.
"alright. You can tell it," Zhuo Xia looked up. Now Ling could see the bloodlust in his eyes.
After being with Zhuo Xia for a long time, Ling knew that Zhuo Xia had always looked cold. As it turned out, Zhuo Xia was rarely angry. Right now, Ling could feel his angry aura.
"At that moment .. he took one to save his sister," Ling looked away as he said that. He felt lucky that he went to Mr. Shangxuan's place this year. If not, maybe he could not feel calm now when he remembered the bad memories.
There are some memories that cannot be forgotten after remembering them.
Ling's gaze was a bit hazy, "You still remember the name of my code, right? Back then, when you and the people abroad went to the island, I could secretly make firearms. The only thing left is me, but I don't have the key to get out. Finally, you're the one who opened the door for me."
Zhuo Xia's hand stiffened. He looked at Ling.
"I'm so grateful to you. Very very grateful. It was the first time I saw the light after more than 10 years" Ling laughed.
How influential was that 10-year event for him? His influence was so great that he forgot everything on the island and forgot how to get out. However, he still could not forget what it was like to live every day as an experimental subject.
Every day, he felt desperate. Ordinary people would never experience such despair. However, he was Chen Ling. He was someone that his family had neglected since birth. If he didn't want to fight for himself, what was the point of him surviving for more than 10 years back then?
Experiments on the island were very realistic. No one abroad wants to save them. The actions of Zhuo Xia and the others who saved them, had infuriated the people behind the laboratory. Especially since they passed Ling, their most extraordinary subject of experimentation. Thus, a large group of experts were assigned to chase after them.
Finally, he and Long Hua were caught again. At that time, Ling was still awake and he had two firearms. That was enough for the two of them to escape.
However, no one thought. After the laboratory boss caught them, it turned out that he had only spoken to Long Hua, "Are you very familiar with Code Z?"
Back then, Ling did not look at Long Hua. He thought Long Hua would already know the best answer for the two of them. However, Ling was stunned when he saw Long Hua take his firearm and leave just like that.
Ling could recall this scene easily. He felt forever he should not forget Long Hua's cold expression when he left.
The laboratory boss looked at Ling mockingly as he looked at Ling helplessly.
At that time, he did not have much relationship with the outside world. He was not familiar with A Shui and the others. He also did not have any colleagues from the Island Who Should Not Be Called His Name. In addition, he had never known people from the Combat Organization.
At that moment, he felt very lonely.
"So, when I first found you, you didn't look for a lab because you couldn't stand the poison in your body? But because of this?" Zhuo Xia took a deep breath, then he exhaled heavily. The traces of his palm were engraved clearly on the table. Even his tone was a little cold.
After all these years, Ling finally had many friends. As he thought about it now, he was not as cold as before. He gradually reconciled with himself and nodded to Zhuo Xia.
He looked into Zhuo Xia's eyes.
"You didn't guess wrong. That person was indeed Long Hua. I never expected to see her again. By then, I was desperate. There were 10 people who could not get out. I fear he is among them. But luckily, he managed to get out" Ling said. After all, Long Hua was also a partner who went through grim things with her.
"great? Do you think he still wants to live well now?" Zhuo Xia looked at him coldly.
"He's not wrong either. If not for him, maybe I would have never met the Island Master, A Shui, and the others. By the way, maybe I should still thank him," Ling smiled as he said that.
After experiencing so many things, Ling also knew very well that making friends was not that easy. When facing danger, other than Liam and the others, there was hardly anyone who would risk their lives for him.
Maybe he wanted to really thank Long Hua. If it wasn't for Long Hua, Ling wouldn't have blown up the island. There would be no Ling X that everyone in Shadow City feared.
The cold glint in Zhuo Xia's eyes dimmed and his heart softened slightly. He let out a long sigh and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't thank him."
"All right, all right, all right, I know," Ling replied. After he told all of this to Zhuo Xia, he felt relieved. This was something he had been enduring for a year.
"Manager Bo will be here soon. You just got back, too. The Zhuo Family must be waiting for you, right?" asked the real Ling to send Zhuo Xia home.
Ling thought Zhuo Xia would pretend not to hear it, but it turned out that Zhuo Xia had actually come home.
*
After the door closed, Zhuo Xia's relaxed expression faded.
He stood outside the door and did not leave. He was still trying to use all his strength to release his own fist. If there was anyone there, they could definitely see blood dripping from his hands.
"Miss Zhuo?" it was Mei Mengyi. He immediately rushed here when he found out Ling was back. However, he was slightly stunned when he saw Zhuo Xia leaning against the door.
Zhuo Xia began to come to a realization from his bad thoughts. He started to step away, without even seeing Mei Mengyi.
"Surprising" said Mei Mengyi, but she had no time to think about it. He immediately ran in looking for Ling.
Zhuo Xia had already boarded his car. Chairman Dai sat in the steering chair and waited for his orders.
However, after a long wait, Zhuo Xia did not speak either. He looked out the window and remained silent. It seemed, Zhuo Xia was like this because of Ling. Chairman Dai has no right to drive forward and he is unlikely to back down.

When Mei Mengyi entered the office, Ling was sitting on a chair. He immediately said, "King, I just saw Miss Zhuo. Why does it look weird?"
After hearing this, Ling simply turned the page of the document and glanced at it, "It's okay. Have you solved the problem of the Potion God Association?"
"The fools ... I'll sort out the other matter soon," Mei Mengyi replied. He pulled a chair to sit down.
Ling trusted Mei Mengyi so she said nothing more and just nodded.
"alright. I still have a few things for you" Ling said. He turned on the computer next to him and opened the thumb drive he was carrying.
Mei Mengyi's eyes twinkled as she looked at that. He even forgot to ask where Ling had gone during this year. He focused on looking at four-dimensional images on a computer.
"There is no type X software on this computer. Find A Shui and ask him for it. This thumb drive I'll give you. In the future, the defense here and Shadow City will depend on this," Ling closed the image monitor and glanced sideways. He spent a year designing this.
Mei Mengyi, who was very excited, stopped when she heard Ling say, "King, what do you mean?"
He had never used such software before, but he had heard of it. It is most often used for high level designs. He has also seen his team use it before. There are no more than 100 people in the world who know how to use that software, because it is very difficult to learn. Mei Mengyi wasn't sure if she could master it or not.
He was indeed a bomb and weapons dealer, but he was confused by Ling's orders now. Why were all the problems handed to him? Even he still had to learn type X software.
"I'm going back to the Bo Family. I also still have to go back to Urban City. I don't know how long it'll take. I will leave these things to you. Remember, this is all very important," said Ling smilingly lifting the thumb drive.
Ling's voice was a little firm. Mei Mengyi immediately sat up straight and picked up that thumb drive. He looked at Ling with a confident look, "Alright. I'll stay here waiting for you."
"good. Someone from the Lingxi family will come overseas. Send a team to protect them" Ling stood up.
He began to give orders one by one. He gave all those problems to them. In fact, Bo Xue Ning did not understand what he was talking about. However, he still remembered all his commands.
These people kept chatting all night, but Ling did not look tired. He looked up at the sky and put one hand in his pocket.
Her expression was softer, "Where are my grandfather and mother now?"
"In the city tower" answered one of the guards.
