Chapter 146 Meeting Chen Dingsong
"Is Chen Dingsong awake?" Chen Yuanguang specially asked Shi Huilan to have dinner with him in the evening, and wanted to hear if she had any news that he didn't know.
Chen Yuanguang rolled his eyes, and Shi Huilan immediately understood what he meant: "Chen Dingsong is your ancestor, not mine. Besides, we are at the University of Malaya, and he can't hear what I say."
From Shi Huilan's blurting out of Chen Dingsong's name, Chen Yuanguang realized that Chen Dingsong was more famous than he had imagined.
Chen Yuanguang nodded.
Shi Huilan slowed down her eating and asked, "Can you convince the old monster to initiate a truth trial for Lin Ran?"
Chen Yuanguang said helplessly: "Can you please show some basic respect to the old man? You call him by his first name, and he's an old monster."
Shi Huilan said: "You have lived for nearly 300 years, but you are still an old monster? My old man didn't live that long.
All right, all right, old man. "
Chen Yuanguang said: "I don't know, I have never had any contact with him."
Shi Huilan thought for a moment and said, "You should just play the victim, play the victim like crazy, be hesitant to speak when you meet him, and burst into tears to make him feel guilty."
Chen Yuanguang was not sure whether this method would really work. "I'm not even sure if the old man would see me. He doesn't wake up for long each time, so he may not have time to see me."
Shi Huilan thought for a moment and said, "No, there is a high probability that I will meet you. Your father's death is no small matter for the Chen family."
Chen Yuanguang was shocked: "Well, I don't remember many members of the Chen family coming to the funeral."
As he remembered, members of the Chen family came to Chen Yongqi's funeral, and Chen Yonglin helped to organize it, but not many members of the Chen family came, so there was no honor at all.
Shi Huilan said: "Your father's name is Chen Yongqi, right?"
Chen Yuanguang nodded.
Shi Huilan went on to say: "Anyone who can use the character 麒 is not a small character.
Besides, your father was a police inspector in Malaya before. This identity is actually not a bad one. What concerns me more is, do you know how many people he offended while working as a private detective?
The profits he caused others to lose amounted to billions, and the maximum compensation he received was probably only a few million Singapore dollars.
The fact that he died so late was already a guarantee from the Chen family. If there was anything that could allow Alpha to take over Malaysia, and he was a police inspector who was marginalized and resigned on his own, the Chen family would almost unconditionally guarantee him a guarantee.
Plus, since he can use Qi as his name, he must be very important in the Chen family, but you are too young to understand how important he is."
Chen Yuanguang felt a tightness in his heart.
After Chen Yuanguang came, he never returned to the Chen family's ancestral home. He had a vague impression of it in his memory. In his memory, every time Chen Dingsong woke up, he would follow Chen Yongqi back.
But he had never met Chen Dingsong.
Chen Yuanguang felt something was wrong. In his memory, Chen Yongqi and Chen Yonglin were brothers from the same father and mother, and they had a very good relationship. Chen Yonglin had no ambitions, so Chen Yuanguang could trust him.
Since they are brothers from the same father and mother and have not experienced human hibernation, it means that there is at least ten generations between them and Chen Dingsong.
There is such a huge generation gap between them. No matter how much they like each other, it is important to consider that Chen Dingsong only wakes up once every ten years, and each time he wakes up for ten days.
In Chen Yongqi's short life, Chen Dingsong and Chen Yongqi could stay awake at the same time for a maximum of forty days. What kind of feelings could be cultivated in forty days?
Considering Chen Dingsong's identity, Chen Yongqi only had a few days at most. It was such a short time to talk about feelings, and when I heard that he wanted to see him first, it sounded strange.
No matter how Chen Yuanguang thought about it, it seemed unreasonable.
A thought flashed through his mind: prolong his life.
The reason why Chen Dingsong can live so long is that his family has kept him alive. He needs to choose offspring with a high enough genetic match to provide him with something he needs, which may be blood, or something else.
Chen Yongqi was the chosen target, but he was killed so easily by a truck. That's why Chen Dingsong was so anxious. He wanted to confirm the genetic compatibility of Chen Yuanguang.
Just like in modern America, there is a wealthy man who draws his son’s blood and exchanges it for his own body in order to keep himself young forever.
Shi Huilan was still saying, "My father just came back from Yanjing. He ran to Yanjing to hide because he was afraid that the Chen family would do something to him."
Chen Yuanguang felt that he should get more information from Shi Huilan.
As a young man of the 21st century whose feudal ethics have been cleansed, he himself would not realize that there is anything wrong with the name at all. However, the Malaysian Chinese have preserved the feudal traditions very well.
Chen Dingsong also called himself the Chen family of Yingchuan Hall. Everyone had to use generation names, and there were only so many good names. Why were the two pairs of brothers, Chen Yongqi and Chen Yonglin, named after Qilin? Chen Yuanguang estimated that it was because their genetic match was the highest.
In addition, the blockade of gene-related technologies in the future time and space is so severe that it is normal that the outside world is not clear about the reason.
This is probably the biggest possibility.
When Chen Yuanguang thought about this, he felt that this guess was closer to the truth.
His heart tightened, wondering if he went, would he also be tested and put on the list?
He was a little scared and didn't want to go.
Chen Yuanguang said: "I will mention it."
"Remember to mention it. I feel that my father came back full of confidence after his trip to Yanjing to report on his work. The gloomy atmosphere before has disappeared." Shi Huilan was somewhat filial and couldn't wait to send her father in.
Chen Yuanguang asked: "If my father is really important to the Chen family, why doesn't anyone come forward to help him? Even if Lin Ran is locked up for a few more days, it would be fine.
The Chen family can definitely do this.
Instead of just calling him to the police station, questioning him a few times and then releasing him.”
Shi Huilan thought thoughtfully, "It should be that only Chen Dingsong knows his importance, but no matter what, you must rely on Chen Dingsong's power if you want revenge."
If what he remembered was true, Chen Yuanguang had no hope of ever meeting Chen Dingsong.
After personally experiencing how difficult it was to upgrade his citizenship level, he knew that citizenship level corresponded to power. During the time that Chen Dingsong was awake, there must have been countless things coming to him.
But Chen Yuanguang felt uneasy to see him in such a busy schedule.
If he could meet Chen Dingsong, it would prove that there must be some inside story that he didn't know.
But considering that there has been no progress in the future time and space, even if Chen Yonglin is at the front of the list as he guessed, it should not be his turn so soon.
More importantly, he has a cheat, and at worst the Matrix can help him return to the modern era.
It's so strange that he suddenly stopped going.
He thought about going back with Chen Yonglin. He also wanted to see what a person who could travel through time and live for three hundred years would be like, and at the same time further verify his own guess.
Human hibernation technology is so amazing, why are only a few people able to use it?
In Chen Yuanguang's memory, only three people in the Chen family could enjoy human hibernation. Even none of Chen Dingsong's biological children could survive to this day.
Generally speaking, even among direct descendants, this relationship will become weaker and weaker, and it is difficult to talk about any feelings after the third generation.
If he couldn't meet Chen Dingsong, Chen Yuanguang also wanted to take a look at the luxury houses of this era and see if there were any high-tech products.
He wanted to study the household robot at home, but didn't know where to start.
As for whether Chen Dingsong could provide advice on scientific research, he had no hope.
Chen Yuanguang followed Chen Yonglin back to the Chen family's old house with curiosity and trepidation.
Unlike the last time when they rode in an autonomous car, this time Chen Yonglin was driving the car himself, an electric sports car bearing a Greater China brand.
The autopilot function wasn't even turned on. After Chen Yonglin picked him up, he drove towards the destination with ease.
"Yuan Guang, congratulations. The old ancestor heard about Yong Qi after he woke up today, and he said he wanted to see you.
When we get there, just follow me." Chen Yonglin said with a hint of joy and ease.
Chen Yuanguang clenched his hands, and Chen Yonglin seemed to be aware of Chen Yuanguang's nervousness: "Yuanguang, relax, just answer whatever the ancestor asks, including your intention to initiate a truth trial against Lin Ran.
Say whatever you think.
The best thing you can do in front of your ancestors is to be sincere.
Put away all your emotions, hatred, worry, confusion, thoughts of revenge, anxiety about the future, etc. Our ancestors are very kind and will not do anything to you. "
Chen Yuanguang rolled his eyes in his heart. If it was about prolonging his life, Chen Dingsong would of course be nice to him.
He still wanted to test Chen Yonglin: "Uncle, logically speaking, we are so many generations away from our ancestors, why does he care so much about us?
The Chen family has multiplied so many people in the past three hundred years."
Chen Yonglin turned to Chen Yuanguang and said, "Because your father is a hero!"
what?
Chen Yuanguang was a little confused. A private detective is a hero, is this okay?
This adds an element of mystery to this trip to the Chen family's ancestral home.
After arriving at the Chen family's ancestral home, Chen Yuanguang had only one impression, that is, it was very large, like a manor, and there were only real servants here, no robots.
Everyone would bow and greet him and Chen Yonglin.
When they arrived at the hall, there were already some people gathered around. Chen Yuanguang knew from his memory that they should all be members of the Chen family.
When they arrived, their eyes were focused on the two of them. Presumably, they knew that Chen Dingsong wanted to see him, so Chen Yuanguang could feel the jealousy and malice in their eyes.
Although productivity has exploded under the leadership of AI, the truly scarce resources are still limited. There are tens of thousands of people from the Chen family on the list. Why can you see them but I can't? We all have the surname Chen.
Without even saying hello, Chen Yonglin walked to a door with intricate patterns in the center of the hall and said, "Mr. Ma, Yuanguang is here."
Old Ma's hair was gray but combed meticulously. As Chen Yuanguang remembered, every time they came here, it was Old Ma who was guarding the gate, and they could only see Chen Dingsong after they passed through this door.
Ma Lao glanced at Chen Yuanguang and said, "Yongqi's son, a good boy.
He's going alone, so you don't have to go." Then he said to Chen Yonglin.
Chen Yonglin responded, "Okay."
Chen Yuanguang was even more worried now. What if he really wanted to have offspring to continue his life and his genetic match was higher? Wouldn't that mean it would be his turn?
Ma Lao said to Chen Yuanguang: "My son, after you enter the door, go down to the sixth floor underground, and then just follow the light."
This was the first time that Chen Yuanguang walked through this door. Only after he walked in did he realize that this was actually an elevator.
He originally thought that Chen Dingsong was sitting in the chair waiting for him, but now it turned out to be the hall.
All kinds of thoughts flashed through Chen Yuanguang's mind. Should he try to return to the present through the Matrix? What if he couldn't go back? What if he could go back but was discovered?
This is the Earth in a parallel universe four hundred years later. What if technology can discover it?
Or what if you have super powers?
Chen Yuanguang calmed down and gave up the idea of returning to the modern era so quickly. Matrix was his trump card.
Chen Yuanguang pressed the -6 button with doubt. This manor actually had an underground space, which Chen Yuanguang had not expected. In his impression, the Chen family's old house was only a manor with a retro Chinese classical architectural style.
Only then did he realize that although he would follow Chen Yongqi back to the Chen family ancestral home every time the old ancestor woke up, he had never seen Chen Dingsong.
"Tick-tock" the elevator arrived and Chen Yuanguang counted it carefully and found that it had indeed gone down six floors.
He was shocked when the door opened. There were dense wires everywhere. A road extended from the elevator door, and the road was surrounded by walls made of cables. He couldn't tell what the cables were made of, but they glowed.
He could still hear the sound of water. "Fuck, what's this cyberpunk thing?"
He walked along the road to the end, about three hundred meters, and saw a pool in the middle. The lid had been opened. Chen Yuanguang could feel the chill emanating from the water, which was at least zero degrees.
I saw the person inside as if he was pushed up by something, his long hair was just graying, not completely white, and there were no wrinkles on his face.
The other person didn't open his eyes, so he knew it was Chen Dingsong without him saying anything.
Chen Yuanguang wondered in his heart, has the other person really lived for three hundred years?
"Yuan Guang, I'm sorry about Yong Qi's death."
The other person's eyes opened, and Chen Yuanguang could finally see the other person's facial features clearly. He had a very sharp appearance, giving people the feeling that it was a sword that would be unsheathed at any time.
"Whoever did this will pay the price!"
Chen Yuanguang nodded silently: "Thank you, ancestor."
Chen Dingsong continued, "Yuan Guang, I will apply for a truth trial against Lin Ran. My judgment is the same as yours. Lin Ran is the biggest suspect.
Only he, who had just arrived in Malaya not long ago and was born as a son-in-law, did not understand the role played by Yong Qi, so he acted rashly. "
Chen Yuanguang could hear the regret in Chen Dingsong's tone, and he became even more curious. What role did Chen Yongqi play? How come he never knew about it, and there was no mention of it in his memory? He wanted to ask, but was afraid that his original body actually knew, but had lost the memory because of his coming.
Chen Dingsong continued: “You probably don’t know.
Your father is a hero, and he is about to go to the front lines to fight for the survival of mankind.
The reason why he became a private detective was because he wanted to seek as much excitement as possible before going to the front line. In this era, there are few things that can provide him with emotional fluctuations. "
Chen Yuanguang relaxed. It was fine as long as he didn't need to extend his life. He wouldn't be the one to be extended. But he had a bigger doubt. Fighting? Wasn't the Earth unified by Alpha?
This can be regarded as filling in the previous holes, and then tomorrow I will explain these roughly. This can be regarded as the beginning of the future line, and then I will say that there will be no superpowers, no high-level martial arts fantasy, and no aliens.
