Chapter: 6208

Grandmother also knew that her daughter must have something to ask the grandson-in-law, so she nodded and said, "Alright then, let your aunt take you out."

The two of them walked out of the villa's main gate and into the courtyard when Aunt An Chengqi finally couldn't help but ask Ye Chen, "Dharma child, tell me the truth. Is Chen Zhimin really dead?"

Ye Chen had no reaction to her question at all. He nodded very candidly and said, "Yes, Auntie. Chen Zhimin is indeed dead."

Aunt An Chengqi pursed her lips and asked again, "How did he die?"

Ye Chen replied, "He died in a big fire, but there were no clues left behind, and his ashes were processed as well. It's basically like he vanished into thin air."

Aunt An Chengqi nodded slightly.

She had known Ye Chen went to New York earlier, and soon after that, Chen Zhimin went missing. As a result, several management personnel from the An family couldn't find Chen Zhimin and kept calling her, asking for help.

When she found out Chen Zhimin was missing, she guessed he must have already died.

Although she hadn't received a clear message yet, now that Ye Chen had confirmed it, her emotions were in turmoil, with mixed feelings of joy, anger, sadness, and surprise.

However, ultimately, she felt a sense of relief.

So she asked Ye Chen, "Shouldn't you have known earlier, Dharma child, that Chen Zhimin was a member of the White Lotus Society?"

"No," Ye Chen nodded. "I suspected he might be a 'scholar' from the White Lotus Society earlier on, but I didn't have direct evidence. However, this time when I went to New York, I accidentally discovered him secretly collaborating with a count from the White Lotus Society to obtain the Four Guardians Treasures. So I took the opportunity to resolve both of them."

After that, he felt a bit apologetic and said to Anuo: "Little aunt, the situation was sudden and I didn't have time to ask for your permission, please forgive me."

Anuo let out a sigh and told Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, it's my gratitude to you for saving our family from harm. I and your uncle got to know each other by chance, and if not for you, we might have brought disaster upon the family... If you hadn't saved us from the flames, we would probably become the biggest culprits of the family..."

Ye Chen saw that Little Aunt's words were very sincere, and his heart felt a bit more relaxed. He didn't know much about Little Aunt's character, but if she had a clear sense of right and wrong, this matter wouldn't be something to hold against herself. It was just that Little Aunt might have romantic feelings, and he had killed her husband... His heart couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Fortunately, our family has gone through many trials and tribulations, with a much broader perspective than ordinary people.

So he opened his mouth: "Little aunt, the 'scholars' of the White Lotus Society are far more penetrating than we can imagine. The ones you and your uncle encountered when you were young, who left you feeling surprised or impressed, might all be their people... Even if I were in your shoes, I'm afraid it would be hard to recognize or defend against them."

Anuo nodded lightly as Ye Chen's words brought her a sense of relief.

Ye Chen knew she needed some time to adapt and digest everything, so he opened his mouth: "Little aunt, don't think about anything for the next two days. Just take good care of yourself and rest well. Later on, our situation with the White Lotus Society will likely undergo a significant change, giving us more initiative... At that time, you and your husband should participate fully."

Anuo clenched her fists tightly and nodded resolutely: "Alright, Ye Chen. Little aunt understands!"

After saying goodbye to Anuo, Ye Chen got into his car and drove off to the Xiangxi Li Spa Hotel to check on the progress of martial arts training.

The car had just left the half-mountain villa when he received a call from Stephen Rosschilder.

It's already deep night in America right now, so Steve quickly packed his bags and was ready to head straight to the airport as soon as it gets light.

He made a special call to Ye Chen just to show his good intentions.

Ye Chen answered the phone with a smile, asking, "Steve, why are you calling me so late?" JrNovels.com
