Chapter: 5383

Ye Chen said: "I heard it was because my dad wanted to return and revitalize our family, and my mom probably followed him out of loyalty and companionship."

Feng Zuo laughed and said: "Look, this is what makes your dad so brilliant. If he didn't want others to see through his true intentions, no one in this world could see through him."

Ye Chen frowned and asked: "Uncle Feng, what do you mean? According to what you're saying, my parents went back home, but there must have been some underlying reason?"

Feng Zuo smiled mysteriously and said to Ye Chen: "In everyone's eyes, Long An and Cheng Qing are a pair of geniuses in the business world, gods of finance, but in reality, from when I knew your father, he was actually someone who was very interested in martial arts and traditional Chinese culture, even going so far as to study superstition and esoteric knowledge that high-level intellectuals would reject."

"I myself had just started practicing martial arts when I was young and grew up in the Wu family, a family of martial artists. Although my own martial arts skills have been neglected for many years, I'm grateful for my understanding, so even though we're several years apart, we can still talk about this."

"Your father may not have had any talent for martial arts himself, but he's always been studying the roots and logic of martial arts. Your mother is also like that. They've even spent a huge amount of time, effort, and resources investigating the origins of martial arts and esoteric knowledge around the world."

Ye Chen frowned and said: "I never had any impression that my father was related to this..."

Feng Zuo laughed and said: "You can think of your father as someone who is trying to use scientific methods to break down the core of martial arts and esoteric knowledge. His goal isn't to practice martial arts, but rather to hope he could figure out the laws of martial arts like Newton broke down the laws of universal gravitation, constantly discussing what true energy is with me, discussing why martial artists can use channels and Dantian to rotate true energy and achieve the effects of enhancing physical fitness and personal power."

"Can you use scientific methods to break down the core of martial arts and esoteric knowledge?" Ye Chen's expression was completely bewildered, and he couldn't help but wonder: "Is it really possible to explain this with science? Just like how Rejuvenation Dan can let people come back to life, prolong their lifespan, and have what scientific methods can research out? I've somewhat understood martial arts and true energy, but I don't know what's going on here, even my dad isn't a martial artist, how did he go about researching the underlying logic?"

Just then, Feng Zuo thought of something else and said: "Ah, Ye Chen, your mother may seem calm and quiet, but she's actually very interested in this stuff, even more so than your father. In fact, it's possible that your father was influenced by her as well."

As they got to this point, Feng Zuo turned to Ye Chen and said: "Your mother even has a team dedicated to researching these kinds of questions, and back in the 1990s, she used her connections and background in America to set up a supercomputer center. At that time, there were only a handful of countries with such advanced technology, just those few countries using supercomputers to predict global climate patterns, simulate nuclear test data, calculate the orbits and distances of planets in our solar system, and explore the secrets of the universe."

Ye Chen's eyes widened in shock, he had never thought his mother would have such a mysterious side.

Feng Zuo thought about something else and said: "Oh right, your mom even used to drag your dad around during their pre-marital and post-marital periods, participating in at least dozens of excavations related to martial arts."

"Excavations?" Ye Chen hadn't had time to be surprised by his mother's interest in the I Ching before he subconsciously said: "I've never heard them do any archaeological work..."

Feng Zuo laughed and said: "Of course they won't let you know, because their excavations were all done without official permission. Let me put it more bluntly - they're tomb raiders."

As he spoke, Feng Zuo asked him: "Can you imagine? Two top-tier rich kids, normally living in the CBD of Shanghai or Beijing, but at night, they'll change into their suits and become the 'tomb robbers' described in novels..."

"This... " Ye Chen was already feeling very perplexed, he couldn't help but mutter to himself: "I've always thought my parents were focused on business before leaving Beijing, never heard them express interest in archaeology or tomb raiding, from my childhood memories, I completely can't find any related memories."

Feng Zuo said: "Your parents are both extremely intelligent people. They never let anyone know their true motives, of course, except for me."

As he spoke, Feng Zuo went on to say: "Speaking of your parents' return to their homeland, actually they decided to leave America and develop in Hua Xia, not as the outside world assumed. Your father wanted to go back to his hometown to revive the Ye family, while your mother was eager to marry a man from her native place;"

"In reality, they didn't initially plan to return or hurry back, but suddenly one day your dad came to me and said he had made a very significant discovery in America that needed to be verified quickly. I asked him what kind of major discovery it was, but he just said if everything went smoothly, he could solve the problems and doubts he'd been carrying for so long."

Ye Chen felt his entire perspective on his parents being turned upside down as he listened.

Even at the point where they were about to exchange their vows in a midday ceremony, he still felt that he had an unparalleled understanding of his parents.

But little did he know, Feng Zuo would soon paint another picture of them that he had never seen before.

After experiencing about two minutes of silence, Ye Chen asked Feng Zuo: "Feng Uncle, besides telling you, what else did my dad say before he left?"

Feng Zuo's expression turned grave as he spoke in a measured tone: "Your father said he and your mother had already left Yanjing because your mother had offended a very ancient and powerful secret organization that existed at least three to four hundred years ago. This organization was far beyond anyone's imagination of its strength and background." JrNovels.com
