Chapter: 5499
"There's no problem," An Chongqiu replied immediately: "I'll call Old Lee right away to see if he has time."
Old Madame urged: "Don't wait any longer, make the call now. If Ailin is in America and has the time, send a plane to pick him up tonight so we can all go together."
"Alright!" An Chongqiu quickly pulled out his phone and walked over to the window to dial Ailin's number.
In recent times, Ailin had been stationed in Syria, tasked with finding other hideouts of the Clear River Society. However, since Ye Chen successfully wiped out the Clear River Society's achievements and executed the Overthrow Plan, the society has entered a dormant period, with airline information temporarily suspended. As a result, Ye Chen gave Ailin a break, allowing him to return to Houston to spend time with his family.
At present, Ailin had just returned to Houston two days ago.
When he received An Chongqiu's call, he was just about to hang up when he heard An Chongqiu ask: "Old Lee, are you currently in America?"
"Ah." Lee Ailin didn't mention his recent trip abroad, casually saying, "I'm in Houston."
As he said that, he curiously asked, "An Chongqiu, you haven't contacted me for a while, what's going on? Is there something I can help with?"
An Chongqiu also didn't beat around the bush, getting straight to the point and saying, "Old Lee, my mom is planning to go to Jinling to find the clues of my nephew again. She wants you to accompany her, as you're the best one for finding people. Can you check your schedule?"
Lee Ailin's heart was filled with some reluctance.
It wasn't that he didn't want to go to Jinling; it was just that he already knew Ye Chen's identity and that An family wanted to find Ye Chen, who had settled in Jinling. However, as long as Ye Chen hadn't given the nod, he absolutely couldn't reveal his identity. So, if he accompanied the An family to Jinling, he would have to pretend to help them search for Ye Chen's whereabouts, which made him feel uneasy.
An Chongqiu saw Lee Ailin hesitating and therefore said, "No worries, Old Lee. You don't have to worry about it."
"No no." Lee Ailin hastily replied, "I've retired now; how could I possibly not be free?... What's the plan for departure?" He prepared himself.
An Chongqiu said, "My mom means to depart from New York tonight. If everything is okay with you, I'll send a plane to pick you up in Houston."
"Alright." Lee Ailin quickly agreed and said, "You coordinate the plane, tell me the time of departure from Houston, and I'll just pack a few clothes and head to the airport."
An Chongqiu was overjoyed and said, "Too much thanks, Old Lee! I'll arrange the flight. Once the plane arrives in Houston, I'll let you know right away."
"Alright!"
He hung up the phone and thought for a moment before deciding to inform Yan Chen about the situation ahead of time. On one hand, Yan Chen was his savior, and on the other hand, he had also saved the entire An family. In this kind of situation, it's only natural to inform Yan Chen. If Yan Chen really didn't want to meet with the An family, it would be better for him to prepare ahead of time.
He immediately dialed Yan Chen's phone.
At this moment, Jinling was already in the evening, and Yan Chen and his family were watching TV on the first floor living room.
When he saw Lee Ailin calling, Yan Chen walked out to the courtyard and pressed the answer key.
On the other end of the line, Lee Ailin began speaking: "Mr. Yan, my uncle- and aunt-in-law asked me to go with them and your grandparents to Jinling to look for clues related to you. We're leaving tonight, and I've already agreed to go. Don't know if you have any instructions?"
Upon hearing Lee Ailin's description, Yan Chen was not surprised.
After all, they had gone to Wanliushan Manor a few days ago and knew that grandma and grandpa would come to Jinling soon.
So he told Lee Ailin: "Just handle their investigation normally. The clues here in Jinling will be taken care of by me. But you need to inform me ahead of time, telling me where you plan to start from." JrNovels.com
