Chapter: 4465

Chen Zhaojun waved his hand modestly: "No need to praise me, Ye Chen. I've just been in this area for so long that I know its rhythms and patterns like the back of my hand. If anything's out of place here, I can immediately pick up on it."

"Chen Zhaojun said this, concerned: 'Ye Chen, why did the police focus on you? Is it because there's some clue from the Wan Long Temple that they've grasped?'"

"'Wan Long Temple didn't leave any clues behind; actually, I had overlooked something important. I let a sensitive girl bring the Fei family ancestors to New York without thinking it through, and at the time, I really didn't consider the details. It was only natural for me to let her take people there, but I forgot that she would leave behind some clues afterwards.'"

"'As I speak, Li Yalin has already sealed off the headquarters of the Fei family group. Luckily, I received advance notice and had her leave first; otherwise, if the New York police were to find out, things would be quite complicated.'"

"Chen Zhaojun asked urgently: 'Ye Chen, what specific situation is this? Can you tell me in detail?'"

"'I have nothing to hide from you, Chen Zhaojun. I'll recount everything that happened when I let Su Ru'er escort the Fei family ancestors to Syria and then had her bring them to New York.'"

"Chen Zhaojun listened and nodded slightly: 'This situation does require some adjustments, but it's understandable. You've handled things well overall; a few minor details are something anyone would overlook.'"

"'Ah,' Chen Zhaojun sighed, 'Li Yalin really underestimated this time! He went all out to seal off the Fei family group, but if he can't find anyone, his good times will be over.'"

"'Yes,'" Ye Chen nodded, "'I didn't think he'd be so impulsive either.'"

"'It's understandable,' Chen Zhaojun said. 'He was too smooth in the past; almost all his cases were solved by him, and others couldn't solve theirs. Now that he's about to retire, New York has become a big deal, affecting his reputation and image over half his life. At this time, his mental state must be greatly affected.'"

"'It's like a mathematics professor who's never failed at anything in his entire career. Originally, he could graduate with honors and retire peacefully, but just now, he keeps encountering puzzles he can't solve, and everyone is watching him try to figure them out. In this situation, it would be hard for him to keep his emotions under control.'"

"'Yes,'" Ye Chen nodded in agreement, "'this matter is indeed unfair to him.'"

Chen Zhaojun smiled slightly and said, "'it's also fate; not everyone can sail smoothly without encountering setbacks. It's just a question of when they'll come.'"

After saying that, he asked Ye Chen, "'since you said the Wàn Lóng Dēn didn't leak any clues about yourself, why would the police find me here?'"

Ye Chen thought for a moment before speaking up, "'it should be because of my great uncle...'"

At this point, Ye Chen was thinking back to when he received news about his grandfather's illness while dining on the second floor. He immediately instructed Qi Xu Yin to take the blood clotting medicine to Los Angeles, without any opportunity for concealment.

Therefore, once Qi Xu Yin arrived in Los Angeles and started tracing back their route, they would definitely focus their attention on Zhong Shu's barbecue shop.

Chen Zhaojun noticed Ye Chen's helplessness and knew what he was thinking, so he opened his mouth to comfort him, "'Ye Young Master, human life is precious. At the time, you didn't have any other good options. Luckily, your great uncle probably hasn't yet discovered your existence.'"

Ye Chen sighed, "'if I had taken my daughter with me and gone to your shop, if someone finds the surveillance footage, they might recognize me. I estimate that Li Yalin sent people to get the surveillance footage from your shop as well, hoping to figure out who my daughter is with and what special circumstances are involved.'"

"Chen Zhaojun smiled slightly and said, 'Don't worry about this point. There are hardly any surveillance cameras outside the Chinatown area. In the past, there were some, but they were smashed to pieces and eventually stopped being installed. My shop doesn't have any surveillance cameras at the entrance, and even if the opposite shops do, it's not possible for them to capture what's happening here due to the angle.'"

Chen Zhaojun continued, "'We don't dare install surveillance cameras outside our shops, so the ones that are installed are usually on the inside of the shop door, then angled to cover the entire entrance area. However, due to the angle of the camera being at a 45-degree downward position, it can only capture people walking along this side and not cars or anything across the street.'"

Ye Chen listened quietly and nodded slightly, saying "'That's fine then.'"

Chen Zhaojun said with a hint of sadness, "'Ye Young Master, since you don't want to reveal yourself, I think it's best if you don't come here again... Both your great uncle and Li Yalin will be paying close attention to this place.'"

"'Is that so,'" Ye Chen nodded seriously, saying "'My daughter will finish her performance tomorrow, and I might not come back to New York for a short time. This place is full of deceit on the surface and rot beneath. I don't have a good impression of it.'"

Chen Zhaojun smiled wryly and nodded slightly, saying "'It's rare to find another city in this world that breeds as many evils as New York does. Whether it's the bright lights of Wall Street or the seedy underbelly of poverty-stricken alleys, there's extreme social degeneracy everywhere.'" JrNovels.com
