Chapter: 1513

As she spoke, Guan Qiuyi added: "For many years, Dad has searched the entire country, but couldn't find your whereabouts. The Ye family has always kept your departure and circumstances highly classified, not even telling them what happened to you after they passed away..."

I furrowed my brow: "Do you mean the Ye family has been hiding this information?"

"No," she nodded: "You left Yanjing with Yeh Baobei and Bama. Everything about your whereabouts and circumstances was erased by the Ye family members, including Dad's searches which turned up nothing, leaving him furious several times at home, saying that the Ye family is like someone following behind our family, erasing all footprints, information, even the air around us..."

As she spoke, Guan Qiuyi cried with tears streaming down her face: "After Dad found out that Yeh Baobei and Bama had passed away, he's been trying to find you, but all household registration records for people named Yeh Chen have become distorted. Your identity information is completely untraceable in the household system, unknown what you've been doing all these years..."

I said calmly: "For many years, I've been in Jinling."

"Ah?!?" Guan Qiuyi exclaimed: "Yeh Chen big brother, you... you've always been in Jinling?!"

"Yes." Yeh Chen nodded and, seeing her expression was so astonished, furrowed his brow and asked, "I've always been in Jinling. Is that weird to you?"

Guan Qiuyi spoke sternly: "Jinling has always been Dad's prime suspect. He personally came over many times, using his connections to have all the boys around my age in Jinling investigated, and repeatedly so, checking every rescue station, welfare institution, and community organization across the city. And yet, there was no information about you."

"It's impossible!" Yeh Chen exclaimed: "I lived in the Jinling Welfare Institution from 8 to 18 years old. Those 10 years, I never changed my name. My parents gave me the name Yeh Chen. When I filled out personal data at the institution, it was also Yeh Chen. If Guan Uncle came over, he would definitely find me."

Guan Qiuyi spoke decisively: "It's impossible! Dad personally came to Jinling five times or more! He used all sorts of connections and yet couldn't find any lead about you."

"I remember my dad's last visit was during the summer break when I was preparing to go to the UK for university. Because I insisted on going, my dad brought me over and we stayed in Jinling for two weeks. We mobilized hundreds of subordinates, informants, and private detectives to gather various clues, but still couldn't find any information related to you."

Yeh Chen listened to Guan Qiuyi's words, gazing at her expressionless face filled with sincerity and excitement, and a sense of panic welled up in his heart.

Since the passing of my parents, I had rarely been in a state of turmoil. But this moment, he suddenly felt a tight, nervous sensation like having thorns stuck to his back.

He began to suspect that his miserable childhood was hiding a shocking conspiracy.

He had spent ten years at the Gold Mountain orphanage, and Guan Qiuyi had repeatedly asked him about himself with so much effort, but it was impossible to ignore the Gold Mountain orphanage.

So what was it that made him unable to find or find himself while living in the Gold Mountain orphanage all these years?

Was it that the orphanage had some problems?

Was it that the orphanage deliberately concealed his personal information?

Then who gave the order for the orphanage to do so?

And what was the motivation behind it?

He suddenly thought, "The Ye family is so all-seeing and all-knowing. It's impossible for them to let me stay in Gold Mountain for so many years."

Moreover, they could take away his parents' remains, return to Beijing to bury them, which proved that they had complete knowledge of their parents' whereabouts.

In other words, the Ye family must have known about him living at the Gold Mountain orphanage from a long time ago.

It's even possible that he never escaped from the Ye family's surveillance all these years.

This also explains why Tang Sihai could easily find himself at the hospital. JrNovels.com
