I Am Born With A Silver Spoon novel Chapter 714

“Another person who had been observing me?” This time, Chen Hao could feel his scalp itch. Apparently, his college life had not been peaceful at all; he’d been monitored in secret the whole time by someone as powerful as Uncle, no less.

To be honest, Chen Hao had noticed that Uncle seemed to know him well since they first met, and him rescuing Chen Hao that night couldn’t have been a coincidence. Then, after spending some time with him, Chen Hao realized that Uncle even understood his personality very well.

Sometimes, Chen Hao wanted to ask about this but Uncle clearly didn't want to talk about it. Furthermore, so many things happened after that, so Chen Hao never had the chance to ask again. It was only when Uncle brought it up again that he realized that was what had been going on.

“Mm hmm, I didn’t know how long that person had been watching you, and I only discovered him after you left Ping An County. After you started Year 1 at college, he started appearing more frequently and once you’d revealed your identity, he practically observed you twenty-four seven. I was worried he’d do something to you, so I’ve always wanted to find out why he was following you. So for convenience, I disguised myself like this and infiltrated your cafeteria as a back-of-house cook!” Chen Pingan let out a dry laugh.

“Our cafeteria? But I’ve never seen you!” Chen Hao couldn’t recall anything of the sort but at the same time, he was amazed that such an all-powerful person was right inside his own cafeteria.

“Of course. Why would you have focused on me at the time? Besides, as a back-of house cook, I’d have to go out in secret even if I wanted to!” Chen Pingan said.

“Then why did you look for me on campus, Uncle? And what did you originally look like?” Chen Hao felt like Uncle was telling him a truth that had been hidden for a long time.

“Yes, I’d originally planned to reveal my identity to you only after I’ve figured out what this guy’s deal was, but I suspected that those incidents were the work of this same person! I’d believed he was aware of my existence and after so many years, I’ve grown accustomed to this face of mine. I didn’t even tell Jiannan the whole truth out of fear that it’ll be leaked to this man behind the scenes. But I suppose that’s unnecessary now!” Chen Pingan said seriously. Then, wth a curious look at Chen Hao, he raised a hand to his ear and slowly tore off his skin mask to reveal an extremely handsome face underneath.

Yes, Uncle was a middle-aged man but ‘handsome’ was the only appropriate word that could be used to describe his face. And more importantly, his true face sent a shiver throughout Chen Hao’s entire body.

“U-Uncle Pingan?” Chen Hao’s heart was beating wildly, because the person he was looking at looked just like the Uncle Pingan he saw in the photo, and that was unbelievable.

“Do you know who I am now, Xiao Hao?” Chen Pingan said.

“Uncle Pingan, is that really you? But I thought you’d…” Chen Hao said, breathing heavily.

“I’ll explain more about this to you in the future. Right now, our concern is tracking down your parents and to investigate the incident at the Holy Water Ritual! He took everyone in our family in one go and I don’t know what his intentions are, but I think for now, they should be safe. Murder does not seem to be his motive,” said Chen Pingan as he analyzed the situation calmly.

Chen Hao nodded solemnly as he gave an emotional look at Chen Pingan, then hastily asked, “Then have you fought this mystery man or found any leads on him after all these years?”

Chen Pingan’s gaze shifted for a moment before he replied with a light cough, “Well, none so far. I have no idea who he is but now that he’s appeared, I think we’ll see him again soon. Actually, we now have an important lead—the area managers know how the Chen family fell, and that is the key!”
