I Am Born With A Silver Spoon -
Chapter 413 The Mo Family
"This is the main reason I am speaking to you today. You are grown up now, you should know the secrets Chen Family held." Chen Jindong patted his son's shoulder.
"This sign is a curse. It is known as the League of the Sun. Whoever receives it will meet misfortunes in less than three days! It has happened twenty years ago, with Uncle Pingan. And this incident is happening to Su Tongxin right now," Chen Jindong said.
"Uncle Fu told me that this curse appears every twenty years. Each time it emerges, someone will go missing. So far, no one had made it out alive," Chen Hao stated.
Chen Jindong shook his head. "Fu only got half of it right. Technically speaking, for those who received the pendant, it's true all of them disappeared. But I found a survivor who came back even after receiving it!"
Chen Hao's eyes lit up.
"That person gave me hints about the entire incident. Hence, I concluded that Uncle Pingan and Su Tongxin were caught."
"They were caught? Who would even want to catch them?"
Hope sparked in Chen Hao.
"That we don't know yet. But since it happened again without any trace, I'm afraid that even the power of the Chen Family is not enough to investigate it."
Chen Hao nodded. "I understand, dad. Are you looking for the person who survived the curse?"
Chen Jindong shook his head and laughed bitterly. "Even after escaping, he only lived for another fifteen year and he died six years ago. Who we need is, the family that saved him back then. If they are willing to help us, it will save us a lot of trouble!"
He looked at Chen Hao and continued, "Son, do you know which family is the most powerful as of now?"
"The Fang Family was once affluent. But I heard from Uncle Fu that we, the Chen Family, is dominant now."
"Yes, he is right. Chen Family is the wealthiest, but overall, there are a few other families stronger than us, such as the Mo Family in Yan Jing."
"The Mo Family?"
Chen Hao had heard of the Qin Family and the Long Family in Yan Jing, but not the Mo Family. He was amazed to hear about them.
After chatting with his father this time, Chen Hao found out about a lot of things which he never knew.
"Yes, the person was saved by the people from the Mo Family. As for the Mo family, they have abnormal people whom we could never imagine. That is their strength-they are much stronger than ordinary people. Hence, they are involved in the military, and they are also one of the most mysterious families in China. This alone, makes them unrivaled in the country!" Chen Jindong continued. "If they want, they could assassinate anyone without notice, including us, despite the fact that we are heavily guarded. For the past few years, the Chen Family has been actively hiring the best trained professionals in order not to feel threatened by them, but our gap seems to be getting wider and wider."
Chen Hao was flabbergasted. If it wasn't coming from his father, he couldn't even imagine that this could be true.
But he was not appalled either. Some people whom he had met, like the Dragon Tiger brothers, and Uncle Qin-Qin Bufan-were people whom the ordinary person could never imagine.
"What about the dragon tiger brothers, compared to the Mo family?" Chen Hao asked.
"The dragon tiger brothers? A twelve-thirteen-year-old chosen randomly from the Mo Family could beat them, hands down!"
Chen Hao gulped involuntarily.
He wondered how would Uncle Qin fare if he was compared to the Mo Family.
This was obviously not important. If the Mo Family could lend them a hand, it would give tremendous power to their side.
"The Mo Family is a hidden family. To be honest, I don't want anything to do with them unless necessary. But Uncle Pingan holds the secret of the Chen Family-the Spiritual Energy. If something happened to him, the Chen Family could not prosper. Our legacy might end by the time you inherit it. Because of this, I have no other options too!"
Chen Jindong had his worries.
It was not just for their kinship. The reason Chen Jindong had not given up looking for his brother was partly due to the Chen Family's nadis.
"Chen Family's nadis?"
Chen Hao asked, confused.
"That's a story for another time-I heard it from your grandfather. The most important thing right now is to seek the Mo family's help!"
"Dad, do you want me to go over to ask for their help?" Chen Hao asked.
"If it was as simple as going over to them, I would have gone long ago. As I mentioned before, the Mo family is a hidden family. They would never meddle in others' affairs. However, there's a person who might be able to ask for their help."
"Who's that?"
"Your grandmother!"
"My grandmother?"
Chen Hao froze. He remembered that since young, his parents were sensitive whenever the topic of his grandparents came up, to the extent of hitting him if he pursued the topic.
He still remembered, he was seven when he was last hit. He asked, "Why do other children have grandparents, but not me?"
His mother, who was usually gentle and kind, slapped him immediately and asked him to stop asking questions.
Since then, this was a taboo in their family. No one would mention their grandparents, including his sister, Chen Xiao.
"That's right. She is now in charge of the Yang family in Yan Jing. In the past, your grandmother had interacted with the Mo Family. If she is willing to speak up for us, there's a high probability that the Mo Family would be convinced!"
Chen Jingdong frowned and continued, "It's not convenient for your mother and I to see her. But it's different for you. The grudges are just between us; I believe she won't hold it against you. Hence, the job of convincing her to help us lies on you!"
He then asked Chen Hao's mother, Yang Yuping, to join their conversation.
He could tell that his mother was still very sensitive to his grandmother. Yang Yuping looked depressed after hearing her name.
This time, however, Chen Hao plucked up his courage and asked, "What actually happened between you guys? I heard from Uncle Fu that grandfather is still alive. If so, where is he?"
What actually happened back then?
His mother did not lose her temper this time. Instead, tears welled up in her eyes as she started explaining to him.
"It was because of the stupid rules of the Yang Family!" she said dejectedly.
When his father was reaching the end of his poverty education, like Chen Hao a while ago, he couldn't expose his rich background.
At that time, he met Chen Hao's mother, who was the Young Lady of the Yang Family in Yan Jing.00000000☐☐☐☐☐☐
