"A Tianyuan Chip?" Lin Chen paused in surprise.
Lin Haotian said, "All things in the world have spiritual nature. For example, jade, which is popular nowadays, is the crystallization of nature's spiritual energy. The Tianyuan Composite Crystal is further enriched with the essence of heaven and earth, sun and moon, and ford through millions of years of evolution after encountering supre opportunities and fortunes."
"Is this Tianyuan Composite Crystal really that magical?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
"In ancient tis, there was a saying: 'He who possesses the Tianyuan Composite Crystal conquers the world.' The Qin Emperor unified the six kingdoms because he had the Tianyuan Composite Crystal. During the Chu-Han Contention, the Han founder defeated the invincible King of Western Chu, also thanks to the Tianyuan Composite Crystal," Lin Haotian explained.
"The Tianyuan Composite Crystal is indeed amazing." Lin Chen was startled.
However, it was later said that the Tianyuan Composite Crystal was divided into five parts and scattered across various corners of China. For nearly a hundred years, countless heroes have been secretly searching for the Tianyuan Composite Crystal.
"Uncle, did you an that the Tianyuan Chip is a fragnt of the Tianyuan Composite Crystal?" Lin Chen asked curiously.
"Yes, our Lin family coincidentally obtained a piece of the Tianyuan Chip, but sohow the news leaked. As a result, the Lin family suffered a disaster, and the chip was stolen," Lin Haotian sighed.
"So, by tracing the Tianyuan Chip, there's a chance we could find those who caused the extermination," Lin Chen said solemnly.
Lin Haotian nodded, "But, Xiaocheng, don't push yourself too hard; let bygones be bygones. The fact that you are the successor is already the fortune of the Lin family."
Lin Chen smiled, "Uncle, don't worry, I'll keep an eye out. If I encounter that guy, I will make him pay with blood."
After sending off his uncle's family, Lin Chen walked out of the airport.
Although his uncle's family returned to China, they gave Lin Chen the key to their house here in the Island Nation, so he at least had a place to stay.
Lin Chen took a cab back to his residence and saw a girl sitting at the door.
The girl was seventeen or eighteen, wearing a school uniform, and was sitting at the door, head down, playing with her phone.
"Hey, why are you sitting at my doorstep?" Lin Chen approached and asked.
"Benefactor, I finally found you."
The girl looked up at Lin Chen and suddenly threw herself into his arms.
"Whoa, what's going on?" Lin Chen was bewildered.
The girl's eyes, full of tears, fixed on Lin Chen, "Sir, don't you rember ? I'm Ye Zi, you saved my life."
"Ye Zi!" Lin Chen looked carefully and recognized the girl in front of him.
"Oh, it's you. It was just a little help, no need to be so formal," Lin Chen said quickly, freeing himself from Ye Zi's embrace.
Although holding Ye Zi felt nice, given she was wearing a school uniform and there were many passersby, he was worried about misunderstandings.
Ye Zi giggled, "Mr. Lin, you wouldn't be so impolite, would you? Won't you invite a guest in rather than let her talk at the door?"
"Oh, please co in," Lin Chen opened the door awkwardly.
As soon as Ye Zi entered, she sat on the sofa as if she were at ho.
"How did you know I live here?" Lin Chen asked puzzledly.
Ye Zi giggled, "I saw you and your sister co in here at lunch, so I knew I would find you here."
"Oh, I see!" Lin Chen shook his head.
"Okay, now that the thanks are done, it's late, you should go ho," Lin Chen said.
"Sir, you're my savior. I've co to repay you," Ye Zi said earnestly.
"Repay ? There's really no need," Lin Chen said helplessly.
"No, I, Ye Zi, won't be soone who forgets gratitude," Ye Zi insisted.
Lin Chen gave up, "Alright then, how would you like to repay ? Don't tell
you want to offer yourself!"
"I'll stay here and take care of you," Ye Zi chuckled.
"Pfft!" The water in Lin Chen's mouth almost spewed out.
"Forget it, your way of repaying is sothing I can't handle. You should hurry ho," Lin Chen hurriedly refused.
He rembered that Ye Zi's father was not a simple person; the people standing at the door were not plain folks.
"Then, Mr. Lin, could you save ?" Ye Zi looked pitiful, her eyes red, tears trickling down, evoking sympathy.
"I... I can't go ho," Ye Zi's eyes welled up with tears looking at Lin Chen.
"What's wrong?" Lin Chen paused.
Ye Zi handed her phone to Lin Chen.
Lin Chen checked the phone. It was a news report from the Island Nation.
It said that a shooting incident occurred at a pavilion in Shinjuku, several people were shot, and the police suspected it was gang warfare.
"What does this have to do with you?" Lin Chen asked perplexedly.
Ye Zi sighed, "My father was in the underworld and shot several tis during that gunfight; he is dead. Now, enemies are looking for
everywhere; if you kick
out, I'll die."
Whoa, is the Island Nation's security really that bad? The middle-aged man looked so fierce during the day, but he's gone by night. Shinjuku is truly a chaotic place.
"Do you have any relatives or friends you can turn to?" Lin Chen tried asking.
"No, my mom passed away a long ti ago. I've always depended on my dad, and now he's gone. I'm really alone. I know you are a good person, please take
in?" Ye Zi wiped her eyes and pleaded.
"I won't stay in the Island Nation for long; you can stay here for a few days. During that ti, try to figure sothing out. Though your father is gone, he must have had so good friends; if not, seek help from relatives elsewhere," Lin Chen suggested.
"Thank you, Brother Lin, for taking
in. I knew you were the best," Ye Zi said, smiling.
Seeing Ye Zi's emotions shift so quickly, Lin Chen was stunned, "This girl changes so fast. She was crying a minute ago, now she's so happy. Could she be putting on an act?"
However, Lin Chen checked his phone, and the afternoon's gunfight was indeed real.
In a private clinic in Shinjuku, Yamamoto lay in a hospital room, wrapped in bandages, his face cold, "Black Tiger, have you found out who tried to assassinate ?"
"Mr. Yamamoto, everyone involved in the assassination has been killed, leaving no survivors. I'll do my best to investigate," Black Tiger said, bowing.
"How's Ye Zi?" Yamamoto asked.
"Miss Ye Zi seems to be with soone nad Lin Chen. Should I bring her over?" Black Tiger suggested.
"Forget it, Lin Chen is a master; Ye Zi is safest with him," Yamamoto sighed.
"By the way, I've inford several group leaders. I intend to pass the position of president to my daughter Ye Zi," Yamamoto said solemnly.
"What? Sir, this cannot be," Black Tiger's face changed imdiately as he urgently tried to dissuade him.
