"She's inside."
"Child, why are you in such a hurry?"
Seeing Lin Chen's unusual demeanor, Aunt Zhou was also curious.
Why did this mother and son seem so strange these past two days?
"Okay, thank you, Auntie."
Lin Chen didn't say much more to Aunt Zhou and hurried into the living room, finally finding his mother knitting yarn in the bedroom.
"Mom."
Seeing that his mother was safe and sound, Lin Chen's hanging heart finally landed.
He could feel that the people outside were definitely after his mother!
"Hmm? Xiao Chen, what's wrong?"
Seeing Lin Chen's concerned look, Wang Fang immediately put down the yarn, her expression full of curiosity.
But Lin Chen immediately noticed that although his mother was asking him questions, her words still revealed an indescribable feeling.
It was as if she had done something she felt guilty about!
"Mom, someone is watching you outside, do you know?"
Seeing his mother's strangeness, Lin Chen immediately spoke to test her.
Those people outside were definitely not Wu Quanguin's men.
But the only one who dared to attack him now was Wu Quanguin.
Since those people were not Wu Quanguin's subordinates, but were targeting his mother, it could only mean that these people were definitely after his mother!
"Ah? What? Someone is watching us?"
"I don't know."
As expected, upon hearing Lin Chen's question, Wang Fang immediately became flustered, and her eyes involuntarily glanced through the window towards where the Core Formation cultivator was.
And this scene naturally fell into Zhao Heng's eyes.
His mother was an ordinary person, with no cultivation whatsoever, that was absolutely certain.
And the strong person lurking in the dark, as a Core Formation cultivator, if they intended to hide their aura, even he would have to spend some effort to find them.
But now? His mother, an ordinary person, could see the position of the Core Formation cultivator at a glance.
This could only prove that his mother knew someone was watching her, and knew someone was there!
Moreover, his mother might have even met that person before, otherwise, she would definitely not be able to find their location!
"Is that so?"
Seeing that his mother was unwilling to admit it, Lin Chen didn't say much.
But for the current Lin Chen, his mother was his only family in this world, and no matter what, he couldn't let anything happen to her!
"Yes, yes, don't overthink it. Have you eaten? Shall I make you something to eat?"
Seeing Lin Chen's half-believing look, his mother immediately chose to change the subject.
But this appearance, in Lin Chen's eyes, became even more revealing.
This was clearly a guilty conscience!
Could it be that his mother had offended someone while traveling outside, and now that person wanted to take revenge on his mother?
And his mother didn't want to implicate him, so she had returned to Hangcheng from Zhejiang Province to avoid her enemies?
Thinking of this, Lin Chen felt that this guess was increasingly plausible.
"Mom, I've already eaten."
"I'm going to the balcony for a moment."
His mother was unwilling to tell the truth, so Lin Chen didn't force her. He turned and went to the balcony in the living room.
After confirming that his mother and Aunt Zhou were both in their rooms, Lin Chen immediately pulled the curtains in the living room closed and hid behind them.
"Kill!"
After making all preparations, Lin Chen directly released a trace of killing intent.
He was confident that the Core Formation cultivator opposite would definitely sense it!
As expected! As Lin Chen released his killing intent, the Core Formation cultivator opposite instantly sensed his aura and flew towards them.
Even Jiang Liang flew over at the same time!
"Bang!"
The Core Formation cultivator flew to the balcony and directly kicked open the glass door of the balcony, barging in.
However, as soon as he entered the living room, Lin Chen grabbed him by the throat.
"Who are you? Why are you trespassing on my home?"
Zhao Heng looked at the man in front of him, his expression filled with killing intent.
This person was burly and had thick eyebrows and big eyes. Judging solely by his appearance, he definitely didn't look like a bad person!
But he had provoked his mother!
"Lin Chen, what's wrong?"
Just as Lin Chen was choking the man, Aunt Zhou came out of her room, looking curious.
"It's nothing, Aunt Zhou. It's just a private matter. Please go back to your room."
Seeing Aunt Zhou come out, Lin Chen immediately reminded her.
"Oh, okay."
Hearing Lin Chen's words and seeing the middle-aged man Lin Chen was holding, Aunt Zhou quickly nodded in agreement.
After Aunt Zhou went back into her room, Lin Chen turned his attention back to the man he was holding by the throat.
"Speak, who exactly are you? Why are you staring at my mother?"
Lin Chen's face was filled with killing intent as he questioned the man.
"You... you are Lin Chen?"
However, upon hearing Lin Chen's questioning, the man revealed a look of surprise.
"What do you mean?"
Seeing the man's strange reaction, Lin Chen became even more bewildered.
Wasn't this person supposed to be hostile towards his mother? Why was he showing such an expression now?
What was going on?
"Speak, who are you, and what is your purpose in spying on my mother from the shadows!"
Unable to figure out the man's intentions, Lin Chen could only resort to force.
After all, he was just a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, and killing him would be killing him.
No matter what, there could be no threats around his mother!
"You... you little brat, I... I'm your second uncle..."
With Lin Chen choking his throat, the middle-aged man's voice trembled.
He truly hadn't expected Lin Chen to have such cultivation at such a young age.
Although he couldn't see through the other party's strength now, it was definitely not lower than his own!
And now, he was holding him by the throat, making him unable to move at all.
"What second uncle? If you don't tell the truth, I'll kill you immediately!"
"Don't test my patience!"
Hearing the man's words, Lin Chen's killing intent surged even more.
His mother had once said that his father had died before he was born, and he had no other uncles or aunts.
Now, a so-called second uncle suddenly appeared, this must be a liar!
But even so, Lin Chen's grip subconsciously loosened a little as he spoke.
"Damn it, you brat, ask your mother who I am!"
Taking advantage of Lin Chen's loosening grip, the man quickly explained to Zhao Heng.
As these words were spoken, Lin Chen's hand finally loosened completely.
At this moment, Lin Chen, recalling his mother's odd behavior, began to have some doubts.
