Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1110 - 1177: Totally Shell-Shocked

"What?"Hearing the name that Mengru mentioned over the phone, Lin Hai was thunderstruck, frozen in place.

This news was just too shocking.

The Demon Young Master, with his extraordinary skills, naturally could hear the phone conversation as well.

At this moment, his reaction was practically the same as Lin Hai's, in a state of shock.

Ouyang Xiaoya and the other girls also looked at Lin Hai in amazement.

"Lin Hai, is this true?"

The CEO's tone was no longer calm.

After all, Lin Hai had always been known as an orphan, and she had felt sorry for Lin Hai. Now, this news not only shocked her but also made her happy for Lin Hai.

"I don't know either, CEO, it's hard to believe."

"Hurry home and have a look, maybe you'll finally learn the truth about your heritage." The Iceberg CEO's decisive style was once again on display.

Lin Hai nodded, fully agreeing with this decision.

The group hurriedly left the Heavenly Treasure Pavilion without even browsing it entirely.

But right now, none of that mattered, going home was the most important thing.

Ten minutes later.

In front of their rental house.

Lin Hai stood at the door, feeling his heart race.

Even on the battlefields of mercenaries, facing life and death, he'd never experienced such a rapid heartbeat.

Grandfather—a term so unfamiliar and distant. Lin Hai had never, like other children, felt the affection and protection of elders in their arms.

Yet now, he couldn't suppress his inner emotional turbulence.

Ruoshuang wanted to urge her brother-in-law, but Ouyang Xiaoya stopped her with a raised hand and shook her head, "Let Lin Hai calm down a bit; after all, this is a big deal for all of us."

"Got it, cousin," Ruoshuang nodded obediently, for once holding back any sarcastic comment.

Taking a deep breath, Lin Hai pushed open the door.

In the living room, a graceful figure was carefully and respectfully pouring tea into a cup on the coffee table.

On the opposite sofa, an elderly man with white hair was sitting with his back to the door. He picked up a teacup and took a small sip, nodding to Mengru, "Tasty."

"At home, we're poor, can't afford good tea, sorry," Mengru spoke timidly and nervously, seemingly afraid of neglecting the elder.

The elderly man waved his hand and cheerfully assured her, "No worries, tea made by one's own family is always the best."

Seeing the elder's kind and gentle smile, Mengru relaxed, also smiling happily.

Standing at the door, Lin Hai seemed to sense the long-lost harmony of family ties in the air.

Finally, Lin Hai stepped forward.

Simultaneously, he opened his mouth, gathering the courage to face this elder.

As if sensing someone's entrance, the elder slowly turned his head.

Lin Hai and the elder locked eyes immediately.

"What?"

Lin Hai's eyes widened.

"It's really you, kid, haha," the elder let out a hearty laugh.

Looking at the familiar face of the elder, Lin Hai's mind was in turmoil, unable to maintain his composure.

"You, you, you..."

"Why are you stuttering?" The elder frowned.

"No, I'm just really surprised," Lin Hai quickly explained.

"Haha, surprised? In fact, when I first saw you, kid, I had a strange feeling and was fairly certain you might be a descendant of the Lin Family," the elder said with a laugh.

"Uh, unfortunately, I had a task at the time and didn't have the time to think about anything else, otherwise I would've spent more time with you, sir," Lin Hai expressed with an apologetic look typical of a junior realizing a mistake.

Regardless of whether this elder was truly his grandfather, Lin Hai felt enough respect and admiration.

Because Lin Hai had seen this person before and had even received help from him.

This elder was none other than the mysterious old man from the Heavenly Prison.

"Haha, truly my descendant," the elder looked over Lin Hai's face with a smile, nodding slightly.

"You really are..." Lin Hai didn't know how to phrase his question.

The elder nodded again, "Yes, I was once the Family Head of the Lin Family, and also the father of the Human King, your grandfather, Lin Dapao."

Hearing the elder say this, Lin Hai could no longer stay calm inside.

He had always been seeking the mystery of his heritage, hoping to find his true family.

He didn't expect that his grandfather would appear alive right in front of him.

Lin Dapao—the name Lin Hai had heard from many people.

Notably, Lin Dapao had even helped Old Mr. Tao, wiping out Chen Yaolong's Chen Family in Huadu, setting the foundation for Su Wanjing's family's prominence in Huadu.

People had even told tales of Lin Dapao being a formidable force, regarded as a peerless expert, leading the Lin Family to glory.

This legendary elder, standing right in front of him, felt dreamlike and unreal.

"Kid, why did you end up named Lin Hai?" the elder frowned and asked.

"Uh, I can't remember," Lin Hai shook his head. The origin of his name seemed to have always been Lin Hai since he could remember.

"No, something must have gone wrong somewhere. According to the plan I made with your father, we decided to name you Lin Baohuan at birth, not such a low-brow, tacky name like Lin Hai," Old Master Dapao shook his head, muttering to himself.

"Oh damn..."

Sweat as large as beans formed on Lin Hai's forehead.

He instantaneously felt like he'd been hit by a reality check.

Lin. Baohuan?

Healthcare Lin?

In comparison, this name felt even cheaper and lower-class!

Behind Lin Hai, Ouyang Xiaoya and the other girls were equally stunned.

In their imaginations, Old Master Dapao should be a highly respected elder with a legendary past. How could his style change so abruptly?

Lin Baohuan, that name is just too... With that thought, the girls all turned their complex gazes towards Lin Hai.

One couldn't help but admit that "Healthcare" did seem to match Lin Hai's usual demeanor.

Ouyang Xiaoya suddenly felt there was a fated coincidence in all of this—indeed, "Healthcare" Song Er was aptly named.

"What? Don't like it? Back then, your dad and I came up with several names just in case you weren't satisfied when you grew up,"

The elder continued suggesting, "Lin Fast-Food, Lin Baoye, Lin Ice-Fire, Lin Trolley, how do those sound?"

After speaking, the elder blinked his eyes.

This blinking gesture made the CEO have an illusion as if she was seeing an older version of Lin Hai, seventy years in the future.

Lin Hai nearly spat out old blood.

These names were even worse than Lin Baohuan.

Now he deeply understood why the elder was called Lin Dapao.

The family's lineage was truly unfortunate, the family style formidable.

The CEO completely understood, almost abandoning the idea of reforming Beast Lin.

It was simply a hereditary trait that shaped Lin Hai's personality!

"Old Master, I think Lin Hai sounds nice," Lin Hai said weakly.

The elder waved it off, "No matter, your father was known as the Human King outside, but amongst our family, we usually called him Tiegen."

Lin Hai couldn't hold it any longer, the old blood surged in his throat, and a mood of utter disbelief rose in everyone's hearts at that moment.

"Little Demon Young Master is actually here too? Alright, from now on at home, don't call yourself Lin Jiang anymore, just go by Baoye."

Typically composed, the Demon Young Master, upon hearing that the name "Lin Baoye" was destined for him, couldn't stop his mouth corners from twitching, his face turning pale as paper, nearly fainting to the ground.
