The Origin of Old Man Lin

Yao Siya whispered in agitation and regret, "I wish... I could meet Grandpa Lin.... once more."

Grandpa Lin?!

These barely audible two words were enough to left others speechless while Mu Qinzhe couldn't help raising his left eyebrow with rather amusement. It seemed he wasn't the only one who fell for his Baby Girl's charm.

A few certain informations that Chang Feng, his PA gathered (thanks to his 'Blind Date' with 'Young Miss Lin') and Ling Ye Ming mentioned last night at the bar, were going to and fro in his mind.

According to those informations Old Man Lin was a proud son of heaven but terribly arrogant and equally stubborn yet cunning.

There were several rumours said Old Man Lin even refused to met those people whom he simply didn't like, regardless their position, the power they hold or their potential background.

He had no reason to be feared of offending someone because he was the Patriarch of Lin family, one of the most formidable and influential military family.

Not only this, he himself was one of the most influential and mighty General in County C's military who's authority hadn't lessened a bit even after his retirement.

Back then, at the tender age of 10, he officially joined the military breaking the record of youngest soldier at his time. And within no time, he became a formidable military figure despite his young age.

With the help of his ingenious leadership, perfect and cunning battle strategy, flawless analysis of enemy's debilitation and unerring foresight in battlefield, he became the youngest General in the history of County C's military at the age of 35.

From the youngest soldier to the dominant and majestic General Lin, rollercoaster-ride like events of his life helped him broadened his network, connections and influence.

An unfortunate accident which fractured his left leg caused him retired early, at the age of 45.

But the amount of power and authority that Old Man Lin possessed was simply too vast that hadn't lessened much nor the number of people who was aftered that power hadn't lessened any.

Another thing hadn't changed was Old Man Lin's devotion and passion towards military. Lin Corporation was one of its living evidence.

Not much after his retirement, Old Man Lin shook the entire world with his talent in business field which he solely used for the interest of military.

He and his wife started Lin Corporation from nothing. But they traded technology solely with military, rarely collaborated with other conglomerates.

Needless to say, those technology they provided military was the most unique one and only County C's military could possess those in the entire world.

Under the outstanding leadership and supervision of Old Man Lin along with his slyist business strategy and a series of too many revolutionary devices which was built solely for military, Lin Corporation reached its highest denomination within the shortest period of time possible.

But like a sly and cunning businessman, Old Man Lin never gave up his profits just because other party was worshipped by him.

Lin Corps remained more like a nonprofit company despite its steady growth.

The reason was too obvious. Half of its profit used for its new projects while another half donated to the military research fund.

It was even said old CEO Lin only expanded his territory in business just because he wanted to donate more in military research funds.

Mu Qinzhe could assume this might be one of the reasons. Because Lin Corporation never fought for any collaboration or any resources which wasn't beneficial to military.

Moreover, Lin Corporation remained so low-key that if not for a few collaboration with other conglomerates, none would assume Lin Corporation upheld an amount of enormous power and its growth rate was both rapid and steady.

So not oddly enough, other than Old Man Lin's disappearance, nothing affected the growth of Lin Corps from the moment it was inaugurated, neither any relatives' death or disappearance nor any challenges or obstacles.

Mu Qinzhe was thoroughly convinced by Old Man Lin's devoted to military. First he served County C's as a soldier then served with business and technology.

If Old Man Lin just wished a little, he could easily compete with Mushi Group and others. But he didn't.

Instead, he set Lin Corporation's a firm motto, solely providing the military with most innovative and advanced technology which hadn't changed much even since Old CEO Lin's stopped public appearance.

Now their perdurable connection with military was the reason why Lin Corporation was still considered as a prominent force in business world despite its current fragile state.

In a nutshell, Old Man Lin was cold and arrogant, sharp and rude, cunning and stubborn, aristocrat and authoritative, profiter and patriot, a great leader with perfect plan and flawless foresight but not seemed to be a family man.

This type of person actually took initiate to approach Yao Siya and met her personally obviously to keep her permanently in Lin Corporation.

It wasn't that much surprising because his Baby Girl seemed to have terrifying talent and potential in the field of technology and that's why she had been approached personally by Old CEO Lin.

Moreover, after her joining, Old Man Lin would able to use her talent in the interest of military. It was such a win-win situation.

But unexpectedly the cunning, rude, cold and arrogant Lin Lao seemed to have shared a close relationship with his Baby Girl.

Frankly speaking, a not-so-family man shared such close relationship with an outsider !?

This wasn't something seemed right. There must be something else, some missing puzzles that none thought those existed.

On the other hand, a certain bunch of peeping Toms was no less than shocked, especially Ling Ye Ming.

As a next Patriarch of another formidable military family, how could Ling Ye Ming not know the arrogant and authoritative characteristics of 'Great General Lin' whom he worshipped most !!

"You said 'Grandpa Lin' ?!!" Before others could react, Mu Qinghai almost screamed. Like Mu Qinzhe and Ling Ye Ming, he too well aware of Old Man Lin's characteristics.

Yao Siya badly wanted to smirk. Fish was hooked and waiting for her pulling. She turned her eyes slightly red as if she was at the venge of crying but nodded vigorously.

Sensing Siya's state, others' soul almost left their bodies especially Mu Wei Wei's and Mu Qinghai's.

Because it was Mu Wei Wei who started her 'interrogation' along with Mu Qinghai. They were dead meat if their Sister-in-law was hurt a little, let alone she cried.

Mu Qinghai hastily asked, "What happened, Sister-in-law?? Something wrong??"

"He... he bro..oke the promise. He... he j-just disappeared. No words-s, n-no di-directions, he.. he just l-left." Speaking this, Yao Siya bursted into tears, as if she couldn't stop herself any longer.

Tips of her ears and nose, even cheeks turned scarlet from crying in no time.

Seeing her in tears, Mu Qinzhe felt suffocated, as if someone was ripping his heart apart. He pulled her in his embrace and soothed her patting her back.

This was Yao Siya's turn to be thunderstruck. She never thought a certain 'Sly Fox' would go this length to let her think she was fooling others.

She continued her sob for a while and broke out from Mu Qinzhe's embrace 'controlling' herself.

She lowered her head and apologised others in a faint voice, "So-rry. I... I didn't umm.. mean this. I... I'm s..sorry."

By the corner of her eyes, Yao Siya noticed she dirted Mu Qinzhe's T-shirt. She gritted her teeth to dust because 'Yao Siya' needed to apologise while a certain someone had too much effect on her to ignore.

To avoid any further mishap, she apologised Mu Qinzhe without making an eye contact, "S... so-rry to you... too. I... I dirtied umm... your-r sh.. shirt. I didn't... umm... mean it thought..."

Mu Qinzhe's gentle gaze fell on the little creature by his side who wasn't daring to glance at him directly. His lips curled up a little.

"My pleasure." his deep hoarse voice echoed.

Once again he witnessed the most heart-throbbing sight.

Mu Qinzhe's voice contained something else which caused Yao Siya's whole being tensed up, her cheeks turned scarlet, breath turned hazy while her heart started to palpitate.

Yao Siya blinked her eyes bitting her lower lips. It took a few long breathes, she could finally calm herself down.

Mu Qinzhe couldn't help but let out a chuckle thinking how could someone be so adorable and super sexy at the same time.
