Seeing the smile on He Honggang's face, Ling Chen felt a stir in his heart. His visitor had come all the way to East Sea City to find him, convinced that he could help. Was it because he knew about the connection between him and Ling Gengqiu? As this thought flashed through his mind, he couldn't help but recall the night he met Chen Younian. After leaving the villa, he had waited outside for Ling Gengqiu, and the two of them had chatted briefly. Since He Honggang had been monitoring Chen Younian, perhaps he had discovered their secret meeting as well.
Seeing Ling Chen silent, He Honggang spoke, "Ever since I noticed my changes, I started paying attention to people like me. I believe I'm not alone in this world. I investigate any clue meticulously. Because Dark Pavilion and Netherworld Snake used to collaborate often, Chen Younian was the first person I discovered. But I've always acted in the shadows, seldom making appearances, so he doesn't know about me."
