Chapter: 5875

Lǐ Yàlín, who hadn't spoken up until then, suddenly spoke up and asked, "Mr. Ye, did you bring back that album from Yanjing?"

"Yes," Ye Chen took out the album from his bag and handed it to everyone, saying, "I asked my grandfather, he said this album wasn't in the study before, must have been left by Tang."

Everyone flipped through the album, seeing the joint photo of Ye Chen's parents, Uncle An's family all had tears streaming down their faces.

Then they saw Zhou Bóde, but no one recognized him, not even Lǐ Yàlín, a detective with many years of experience in New York.

Lǐ Yàlín spoke up again and said, "Mr. Ye, you just arrived at the 10,000 Mountain Range and were persuaded to return by a fake master, then Tang prepared this album for you in Yanjing, I think these two events are connected."

Ye Chen nodded and said, "I have the same feeling, but Tang has gone missing, and I can't find any clear leads now."

Lǐ Yàlín sighed, "So it seems that this person's abilities are not to be underestimated. This person not only knew Ye Chen's actions in advance but also manipulated Ye Chen's father's confidant for his own use. What's more important is that this person has left no trace at all here, and may even have slipped away from the Clear River Society undetected. Since his opponent is also from the Clear River Society, I think you shouldn't worry too much, Mr. Ye. With my analysis, it's definitely a good thing."

"I have no choice but to smile and say, 'The only lead has been cut off. I won't bother him anymore. I believe that when the timing is right, he will naturally come out from the shadows to meet me.'"

He then changed the topic and said, "By the way, grandfather, I have a friend who can help with connections. Please get official backing for our family. However, since it's an official endorsement, there will undoubtedly be genuine economic cooperation if you're willing. My friend can fight for us to get the highest-level strategic cooperation in China. This way, with official backing, the Clear River Society won't dare to do anything to your family in China. I wonder what you think?"

An Qi Shan didn't hesitate and blurted out, "Of course there's no problem! It's not a long-term plan to hide forever. Once we achieve the highest-level economic cooperation, it's like getting a shield of protection. Our family can operate openly and honestly in China from then on. We can gradually shift our business focus from the US to China, and contribute to China's development."

Ye Chen saw that Grandfather had no objections, so he opened his mouth and said, "Grandfather, if you have time, I'll let my friend go with you to Yanjing to discuss the details of investment and strategic cooperation. We should quickly finalize these details and make them public."

"Okay!" An Qi Shan enthusiastically agreed and blurted out, "I can go anytime! The sooner the better!"

In the afternoon, An Qi Shan accompanied his sons, An Chong Qiu and An Kai Feng, to secretly go to Yanjing with Sun Zhidong.

Ye Chen did not immediately return home to Tang's residence but instead went to his own nearby villa. He then called Hong Tian Shifu, who was in charge of teaching martial arts here, and asked him to inform Chen Zehai and Hong Wu to come over and meet with him.

Initially, Ye Chen even had some concerns about whether Chen Zehai would also suddenly go missing without a trace.

Ultimately, Tang Four Seas was the Leaves' family manager in its entirety, with someone else behind him. Chen Zehai, as the Leaves' representative in Jinling and Tang Four Seas' direct subordinate, could have been deliberately arranged by someone.

However, fortunately, Chen Zehai is still in Xiangxi Li.

Upon seeing Chen Zehai, Ye Chen's heart relaxed slightly.

To be frank, knowing that Tang Four Seas had someone else behind him, he felt a bit let down inside.

On one hand, Tang Four Seas was once his father's most loyal subordinate. Although he couldn't qualify for the Leaves to have unconditional loyalty, his behavior did leave Ye Chen with some psychological differences;

On the other hand, Ye Chen had previously almost unconditional trust in Tang Four Seas, considering that he had protected him so many years and always supported him without conditions after coming to Jinling.

However, it's only now that he knows who Tang Four Seas truly serves, not the Leaves or himself. How could his heart not feel a sense of loss?

At present, he is most afraid that there are still others like Tang Four Seas around him, and that mysterious person continues to secretly insert various eyes and ears around him.

Chen Zehai and Hong Wu were both people he had recognized when he took back the Leaves' young master identity. They were also his two most trusted subordinates. If they too have issues, it would be a devastating blow to Ye Chen.

About 10 minutes later, Chen Zehai and Hong Wu, who were training martial arts nearby, ran all the way to Ye Chen's villa. JrNovels.com
