At this moment, Zhang Zhengkun, who was at the side, looked at Chen Beichuan with a puzzled expression.
“Elder Chen, what is it that you want to say?”
Zhang Zhengkun asked in confusion.
Not only Zhang Zhenkun, at this moment, everyone’s eyes were all looking towards Chen Beichuan’s side.
Chen Beichuan said with a sullen and cold expression, “What I want to say is that Chen Lingjun never deserved to own the Chen family, nor did he deserve to be the head of the Chen family. It is because he, Chen Lingjun, is simply not a member of our Chen Family!”
“What?!”
Chen Beichuan’s words stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, and everyone present was utterly surprised.
Only, the crowd was somewhat unsure of what they had in mind for a while.
“Elder Chen, what exactly do you mean by that? Can you say it a bit more clearly?”
On the side, the heads of those magnificent families, such as He Yingwei Fan Yangzhou, were not quite sure what they understood.
Chen Beichuan then continued, “Chen Lingjun’s father is not my son, nor is he a member of the Chen family at all! In other words, Chen Lingjun does not have a trace of the Chen family’s blood in his body! He, Chen Lingjun, is simply an outsider to our entire Chen Family!!!”
Rumble!!!
Chen Beichuan’s words were simply like a thunderclap, completely shocking everyone present.
All the people of the Chen Family, all the people of the Seven Great Houses, and even those of the Divine Moon Pavilion and theirs, all of them had their mouths open wide at this moment, unable to believe what they were hearing.
Chen Lingjun, was he not a member of the Chen Family?
This Chen family head, who had been in charge of the Chen family for three whole years and had dragged the entire Chen family into the abyss of destruction, was actually not a member of the Chen family at all?
This …… news was simply too shocking, so much so that the crowd present remained frozen in place for a long time, unable to react from this shock.
Especially those Chen family members, they had never thought that the fate of these Chen family members of their own had been swayed by an outsider!
Even Zhang Zhengkun’s face revealed an expression of incomparable surprise.
His Divine Moon Pavilion had always existed as the guardian of the Chen Family, and the relationship between him, Zhang Zhengkun, and the Chen Family was also very close, but even he, Zhang Zhengkun, had never known about such a shocking news.
Li Nan’s heart was also shocked to the core at this moment.
He had never thought that Chen Lingjun’s body would have such astonishing secrets!
This was indeed beyond Li Nan’s imagination.
At this moment, one could only hear Chen Beichuan continue, “What qualifications does an outsider have to become the head of the Chen Family, and what qualifications does he have to own the Chen Family! Chen Lingjun, you’d better stop as early as possible!”
Chen Beichuan looked at Chen Lingjun who was not far away, his gaze firm and cold.
In fact, if it were possible, Chen Beichuan would never have told this secret in front of so many people, nor would he have been so heartless towards Chen Lingjun.
In fact, on the contrary, Chen Beichuan had not actually looked at Chen Lingjun differently after learning this secret, nor had he ever treated him any differently.
But now, with all these crazy things that Chen Lingjun had done today, even going so far as to kill everyone in the entire Chen family here, the last trace of sympathy that Chen Beichuan had in his heart for this grandson had completely vanished!
Chen Beichuan finally realised that he, Chen Lingjun, had never regarded himself as a member of the Chen family, nor had he ever put the lives of the Chen family members into his eyes!
Since that was the case, Chen Beichuan would no longer recognize this outsider as his relative!
Let’s make a clean break!
At this moment, hearing Chen Beichuan’s words, Chen Lingjun’s face had already turned gloomy and cold.
In particular, his eyes were filled with malice and hatred, and he could no longer see a single trace of affection.
At this time, those members of the Chen family had also finally reacted from the shock they had just experienced.
However, the same question rose in all of their hearts at the same time.
“Old Family Head, did you already know all this long ago? Since you already knew this a long time ago, why didn’t you say it earlier?!”
Someone asked.
Yes, this was the doubt in the hearts of all the Chen family members.
If the old family head had been able to tell all of this earlier, then how could Chen Ling Ju have become the head of the Chen Family?
If Chen Lingju had not been in charge of the Chen Family, how could the Chen Family have ended up in this situation today?
To be honest, the hearts of these Chen family members were all more or less blaming Chen Beichuan at this moment.
In their opinion, if Chen Beichuan had said this earlier, there would not have been all these things now.
Not only the others, but even Li Nan, after hearing this, also had the same doubts in his heart.
Yes, since grandpa already knew about this, why did he deliberately conceal it?
Even at a time when the Chen family was at its lowest point, he was still trying to keep this secret?
Li Nan’s heart was also very puzzled by this.
At this moment, Zhang Zhenkun seemed to have suddenly thought of something, and a look of horror suddenly appeared on his face.
“Could it be that ……”
Seemingly because the thought was too shocking, halfway through his sentence, Zhang Zhenkun did not dare to continue.
At this time, only to hear Chen Beichuan’s face gloomy said, “That’s right, this matter, I was able to know about it six years ago!”
“Six years ago?!”
The crowd was stunned.
It was indeed as they thought, so from the very beginning, the old family head of his own family had already known about all this!
When Li Nan heard this, he could not help but be stunned as well.
He suddenly thought of something.
He remembered that he had heard Xue Ting talk about it before when he was still in Dragon City.
Originally, Chen Lingjun was one of grandfather Chen Beichuan’s favourite grandsons, and had even thought about the idea of passing on the Chen Family’s headship to him.
It was only later, for reasons unknown, that grandfather Chen Beichuan’s attitude towards Chen Lingjun suddenly underwent some changes.
In Xue Ting’s words at that time, she felt that the family head, Chen Beichuan, actually had an indescribable sense of fear towards this grandson of his!
At that time, after hearing this statement from Xue Ting, Li Nan felt very puzzled.
In his opinion, no matter how strong Chen Lingjun was, he was still Chen Beichuan’s grandson after all, and it seemed that grandfather Chen Beichuan should not feel fearful of his grandson no matter what.
But now it seems that some answers are finally beginning to emerge.
In retrospect, the time when Chen Beichuan’s attitude towards Chen Lingjun changed, as Xue Ting said at the time, seemed to be exactly the same as the six years ago that Chen Beichuan is talking about now!
In other words, Chen Beichuan’s attitude towards Chen Lingjun had changed after he knew that Chen Lingjun was not a member of the Chen family.
And as for why Chen Beichuan was afraid of Chen Lingjun, his grandson?
At this moment, Li Nan also suddenly thought of one thing: the identity of Chen Lingjun’s real father!
Li Nan was thinking that perhaps, what really made Grandpa Chen Beichuan fearful in the first place was not Chen Lingjun, but Chen Lingjun’s real father!
Generally speaking, a top family like the Chen family hated such acts of meddling and betrayal, and dealt with them extremely harshly.
However, after grandfather Chen Beichuan found out about this matter, he did not take any measures, nor did he think of any punishment for the man who had brought shame to the Chen family.
This was originally a very abnormal thing.
Unless, Grandpa Chen Beichuan was aware of that man’s identity and that was why he did not do anything about it, and even made him feel intimidated!
When you think about it, this might be the only reasonable explanation.
Only, this was at least in the Chen family!
Grandpa Chen Beichuan was at least the head of the Chen family, once the number one family in the secular world!
Just how powerful could that man’s identity be that even someone of Chen Beichuan’s status would be afraid of him?
And at that moment, I heard Chen Beichuan continue, “The reason I never mentioned this matter was entirely because of Chen Lingjun’s own father! It was also because of my fear of that person that made me make the decision to hide it in the end!”
Chen Beichuan looked very helpless.
After hearing these words, all the people around them could not help but be stunned.
They all did not expect that even a person of Chen Beichuan’s status would have times of fear.
What’s more, it was still six years ago.
Six years ago, the two worlds were not yet navigable, and the Chen Family was still the number one family in the secular world!
At that time, the Chen Family was still at its peak, and as the head of the family, Chen Beichuan should have been fearless.
However, why on earth would he make that most helpless, or even somewhat pitiable, decision?
“Old Family Head Chen, what exactly is Chen Lingjun’s real father that would make you so fearful?!”
Xiang Yutang asked after him in great confusion.
Not only Xiang Yutang, everyone present at this moment was very eager to know this answer.
At this moment, Yuan Qianshan, who was not far away, suddenly said in a cold voice, “Chen Beichuan, you must think clearly before you speak!”
Yuan Qianshan’s words were clearly a threat.
Only, Chen Beichuan had already made up his mind at this moment.
“Thinking clearly? What’s the point of thinking clearly or not, you never intended to leave our Chen family alive anyway, did you?!”
Chen Beichuan said with a gloomy expression.
In fact, the reason why Chen Beichuan had previously kept this secret hidden from outsiders was not because he feared for his own life, but purely out of concern for the safety of the entire Chen Family!
Chen Beichuan originally thought that as long as he kept this secret and did not mention it to anyone, then that man would eventually think of the friendship between Chen Lingjun and the Chen family and have some concern for the Chen family.
But I had never imagined that it would turn out to be like this.
Since that was the case, there was no point in hiding it any longer!
