Chapter 38 Is Jufu Restaurant Connected to the Lin Family?

Chapter 38: The Relationship Between Jufu Tower and the Lin Family

"Related to our family?" Lin Xing's heart skipped a beat.

His family was considered quite large, but compared to Jufu Tower, which was spread across the entire Kasla Continent, his family's influence was really nothing special.

Although Jufu Tower was a restaurant, everyone believed it had hidden forces backing it. Otherwise, how could it have branches all over the continent?

"Jufu Tower is really related to our family?" Lin Zhantian also found it hard to believe. No matter what, hearing that Jufu Tower was connected to their family would make anyone doubt it, as their paths had never crossed. Moreover, they had never had any dealings with each other, which was what Lin Zhantian instantly thought.

Everyone looked at Lin Wen with both surprise and disbelief, waiting to hear what he had to say. They wanted to know exactly what relationship existed between Jufu Tower and their family!

Dikalin glared at Lin Wen, her meaning clear: Old man, why didn't you tell me about this earlier?

Seeing everyone's expressions, Lin Wen couldn't help but smile wryly. It wasn't that he didn't want to tell them; in fact, all of this was just Lin Wen's conjecture, based on some historical records.

"Don't look at me like that, because I don't know the details myself. What I'm about to tell you is just a guess. There's no evidence to prove that Jufu Tower truly has a real relationship with our family. After all, thousands of years have passed. If there were a connection, it probably wouldn't be hidden so deeply."

"Grandfather, what is your speculation then?" Hearing him say that, Lin Xing couldn't help but feel disappointed. He had thought Jufu Tower really had some connection with their family. Even so, Lin Xing asked curiously.

"As you all know, the history of Jufu Tower is roughly the same as our family's recorded history." Everyone nodded.

"Since I took over the position of family head, I've learned a lot about our family's past. But there's one odd thing. It has been mentioned by every family head."

"What thing?" Lin Xing's interest was piqued. After all, if something was mentioned by every family head and they were all similar, it was worth pondering deeply. "Could it be about Jufu Tower?" Lin Xing was quick on the uptake and quickly thought of it.

Lin Wen nodded. "It's about Jufu Tower. Every family head has mentioned this mysterious organization. The mystery of Jufu Tower is believed to be recorded by every family on the continent. After all, such a large mysterious force couldn't possibly go unnoticed."

"But the strange thing is that our family's records not only express suspicion about Jufu Tower, but the most important thing is," Lin Wen took a sip of tea, moistened his throat, and continued.

"Every family head has encountered the same situation Lin Xing faced today. It's as if they were given special attention by Jufu Tower."

"What?? The situation I encountered today? Being presented with a VIP membership card by Jufu Tower?" Lin Xing asked in surprise.

"Yes, every family head has recorded such incidents. Some were experienced by the head themselves, while others were experienced by family members."

"And now, look, what is this?" Lin Wen suddenly pulled out a card identical to the VIP membership card in Lin Xing's hand.

"A VIP membership card? Old man, how do you have one too?" Dikalin was very surprised. "Why haven't you been using it?" She then glared fiercely at Lin Wen.

Lin Wen didn't answer but continued, "Yes, it's a VIP membership card. I got this card a long time ago, but I never used it publicly. Do you know why?" Lin Wen asked in return.

"Perhaps to avoid unnecessary trouble?" Lin Xing was the same; he hadn't planned to use the card publicly either, unless absolutely necessary.

"Exactly. Jufu Tower's VIP membership cards aren't many on the continent, and each card can only be used by the person it's issued to. That means no one else can use it unless the card owner agrees. However, I've never heard of so many of these cards popping up at once, either in the past or now."

"Now, two cards have appeared in our family at the same time. Think about why that might be."

"Also, when you go to Jufu Tower, do you always feel they go out of their way for us? Think carefully."

"Think about the main peculiarities."

"Grandfather, Jufu Tower does indeed treat us differently. Every time we go, the service seems a notch above what others receive, but they do it very discreetly. Before, I only had a vague feeling about it, but after today, I'm certain. Jufu Tower treats us, or at least me, differently."

"Bier and I have similar statuses, but today Jufu Tower offended Bier thoroughly, yet treated me very well and even gave me a VIP membership card. Although they said it was compensation, it really doesn't make sense."

"That's why I suspect Jufu Tower has a special relationship with our family."

Lin Xing didn't hesitate to voice his speculation.

"I didn't realize it before, but now that I think about it carefully, Jufu Tower's attitude toward us is indeed different. I always thought it was their usual way of treating guests, but upon closer reflection, I see the difference. They are very careful with others, but they treat us with exceptional courtesy. If you hadn't mentioned it today, I wouldn't have known."

Dikalin agreed, nodding emphatically.

Lin Zhantian and Yana also agreed with this point.

After all, Jufu Tower provides such good service to all guests. Without paying special attention, it's hard to notice any difference in how they treat you. But once reminded, you see it right away.

"It's not just us. People from our family in the past have also encountered this situation. Every generation has experienced it. But what puzzles us is why they treat us this way? Every family head has had this question and tried to verify it, but after so many years, we're still completely in the dark. There's simply no trace."

"So, we've come to know one thing: Jufu Tower has a deep relationship with our Lin family. But what is that relationship? We truly don't know. However, I believe it's definitely not something bad. On the contrary, it's very beneficial for our family's development!!"

"But what exactly is the connection between us and Jufu Tower?" Lin Xing muttered, as if asking a question.

Lin Wen smiled wryly. "That, we don't know. Who does? Thousands of years have passed, and we still don't know. What should be known will eventually be known."

"I really want to know what force is behind Jufu Tower," Lin Xing said expectantly.

With Jufu Tower's background being so secretive, anyone would be highly curious about it.

A knock sounded at the door.

"Master, dinner is ready," Steward Lao Lin said as he entered.

"Is it already dinnertime?" Lin Wen looked at the sky outside.

Unknowingly, it had already reached evening.

"Alright, let's go have dinner first!"
