Ling Qianhe did go to find Franklin.
However, he discovered that Franklin had changed his contact information.
It seemed Franklin was determined to part ways with him.
This was not surprising, as Franklin was a scientific madman, capable of doing anything for the sake of science in his eyes.
Ling Qianhe narrowed his eyes, and after a moment, the corners of his lips curved upwards slightly.
Ling Qianhe seemed to be muttering to himself.
His voice was extremely low.
"Interesting."
"It seems it's true, he's chosen Franklin?"
He showed no signs of disappointment and drove straight back to the Ling family villa!
Madam Ling and Ling Wanli looked at him with deep surprise.
"You— how can you be here?"
Ling Qianhe himself let out a mysterious and unfathomable smile.
"There are some things I want to make clear to you."
"The Ling family is about to hold a shareholders' meeting, and this time, you and Ling Wanli will completely lose your shares, which means you and Ling Wanli will both be finished."
Madam Ling was terrified!
She never expected that Ling Qianhe's return this time was to issue threats.
She stared blankly at Ling Qianhe's face, her voice almost grinding out from between her teeth. His exceptionally alluring face filled her heart with resentment and hatred!
"How dare you…"
"Ling Qianhe, do you believe I can grind your mother's bones to dust and scatter them…"
"For all eternity, you will never get your mommy's ashes!"
She was threatening Ling Qianhe.
Ling Qianhe was silent for a moment.
He looked up at the woman opposite him.
His pupils were dark and deep, like a sweeping storm.
"Grind her bones to dust and scatter them?"
He stared at the woman opposite him, at that face he detested to the extreme. The mockery on his lips grew even thicker, and then Ling Qianhe said, word by word,
"Haven't you already done so?"
"For so many years, you have threatened me with this matter."
"You know that if you cannot control me, you will face my most brutal revenge."
"So, why don't we just lay everything bare and discuss it properly."
In the depths of his dark eyes was a coldness like an iceberg. Da Feng Novel Network
"My mommy didn't seduce the Ling family patriarch back then; it was you who took a liking to my mommy's youthful beauty and deliberately drugged her."
"On a stormy night, he violated my mother."
"The Ling family's servants from back then can testify to this."
"You thought that by sending her far away to an overseas island nation, you could cover up the truth and hide everything."
"But for so many years, she suffered from guilt and secretly contacted me, telling me the truth."
"It was never my mother shamelessly seducing your husband; it was you who conspired to persecute her!"
The hatred in his heart was like an endless abyss!
He looked at Madam Ling.
"You wanted to control me, but you didn't expect my mother to escape with courage. You killed her and brought me back to the Ling family."
"Why did you insist on keeping me alive? Because Ling Wanli is not Ling family's child—Ling Wanli is the bastard born from your affair."
"You were worried about the truth being exposed and losing everything, so you had to hold me tightly, treating me as a pawn, as a bargaining chip, wasn't that the case?"
"This way, facing the future business wars of the Ling family, you could remain invincible."
"For a family worth trillions, only by having a child with the true Ling family bloodline can you—control this vast family!"
He looked up at Madam Ling, watching her elegant face contort in an instant, watching her panicked expression. Ling Qianhe's eyes were filled with contempt.
"The Ling family patriarch died of a heart condition one night. Did you really bring me back out of pity?"
"Or did you decide that you would hold onto me, this bargaining chip, tightly from then on?"
Madam Ling trembled with rage.
"You're talking nonsense!"
"What nonsense are you spouting? Your elder brother is clearly the heir of the Ling family. You're just an utterly lowly illegitimate child… you went to the entertainment industry because you accepted your fate, knowing you could never inherit anything from the Ling family…"
She was flustered.
But she was, after all, Madam Ling, who had weathered many storms. She quickly regained her composure, looked up, and stared coldly at Ling Qianhe.
There was bone-chilling hatred in her eyes.
"You bastard! You will never succeed…"
"You were born lowly…"
"Throughout your life, everyone you love will die tragically!"
She wanted to curse Ling Qianhe with the most vicious words!
When Ling Qianhe heard her say that,
He walked step by step towards Madam Ling, looking at the cracks on her delicate face—watching her hysterically curse him.
He said.
"She won't."
"With me protecting her, she won't."
Ling Wanli stood by, wanting to speak.
He stood up, but suddenly trembled all over, then stumbled and fell. His eyes widened, and his breathing grew rapid.
Madam Ling rushed over, frantically calling Ling Wanli's name.
"Wanli? Wanli, what's wrong? Don't scare Mommy, Wanli…"
She was panicked.
Ling Qianhe leaned closer to her and said.
"He deserves it, doesn't he? After all, he took a lot of medicine to treat his infertility, but that medicine had side effects."
"He dared not tell you, and now the effects have kicked in—he's afraid he'll turn into a vegetative state again."
"But that's already a good outcome. Being in a vegetative state is better than watching your mother gradually decline, becoming a notorious, despised poisonous woman."
"Watching your seemingly impregnable empire crumble overnight—falling from heaven to hell, living a life worse than death, isn't that more painful than being a vegetable?"
Madam Ling abruptly stood up.
"Ling Qianhe, you're lying! My son is fine…"
She frantically tried to call a doctor.
"My son will be fine…"
"Ling Qianhe, I'll sue you for murder! You'll be finished… you will definitely be finished…"
She was beside herself, mumbling incoherently.
Hearing Madam Ling's frantic words, Ling Qianhe looked at her with mocking amusement.
"You still don't know what true despair is."
A cold smile flickered across his lips.
Suddenly, a clear voice reached his ears.
This voice, only he himself could hear.
"Ling Qianhe, you endured for so many years, all for this moment, right?"
The smile on Ling Qianhe's lips remained as cold as ever.
"Of course."
"I endured for so many years, just for this moment."
The voice in his mind was silent for a moment, then said.
"I told you your mother's grave location so you would help me."
Ling Qianhe smiled.
"What, are you so eager to see me completely turn malevolent?"
The voice in his mind sounded annoyed.
"Ling Qianhe, what, are you going back on your word again? Don't think I can't do anything to you…"
"Now, the connection between the outside world and this small world has been completely severed. Your woman can't leave this world at all—you two have both fallen under my control. If you don't obey me, you'll both be finished!"
Ling Qianhe laughed.
"Finished?"
His laughter did not reach his eyes.
"If I were to be finished, I would have been finished long ago."
"The world's main consciousness cannot affect someone like me."
"If anything were to happen to me, this world would collapse, and you, the world's main consciousness, would also disappear into nothingness at any moment—"
"Wouldn't it?"
The voice in his mind was silent for a long time, then suddenly filled with deep anger.
"How do you know…"
"How do you know your own significance?"
Ling Qianhe slowly turned and walked outwards, unhurriedly.
"I have you to thank for that."
"Haven't you realized I've been testing you all along?"
"If you could do something to me, why would you talk so much nonsense to me, why would you constantly instigate me? If I were you, I would have acted directly."
"The more you say, the more you chatter, the more flaws you reveal."
"The next time you spoke in my mind,"
"I knew—you could do nothing to me."
"Since that's the case, I will naturally use you to the fullest to achieve my goal."
"Severing the connection between this world and the outside world is to ensure that Xiao Ci cannot leave me."
"Telling you I would turn malevolent was to get information about my mother's grave from you."
"But now that my objectives have been achieved, do you think there's anything left that can threaten me?"
Ling Qianhe laughed.
This time, his laughter was genuine, brilliant like the spring sun.
"I didn't expect you to be so foolish."
"To be used to the fullest by me."
"Xiao Ci, she belongs to me."
"Now, no one can take her away."
