Chapter: 6497
Steve said, "There's nothing important to take care of, so I should be leaving tomorrow, and if not, it would be hard for me to explain things to my father. In his impression, I'm always thinking about leaving here."
Ye Chen said, "Then let's meet at noon tomorrow at Tianxiang Manor?"
Steve exclaimed excitedly, "That's great! Then we'll meet at noon tomorrow at Tianxiang Manor."
"Alright." Ye Chen said, "Then see you tomorrow. I have something to attend to first."
"That's fine, Mr. Ye, see you tomorrow!"
...
The weather grew colder and colder, and the golden mountains above had already lost most of their greenery, except for some pine trees, with most of the tree branches having shed their leaves, leaving only bare trunks and branches.
When Ye Chen arrived at Lin Wan'er's residence on top of the Tianxiang Manor, he was suddenly taken aback to find that the Pu Cha mother he had brought back from Dan Chi, was still growing plump and lush, with even more leaves than before, and had also grown significantly.
This sweet and youthful girl, Lin Wan'er, was then tending to the Pu Cha mother by its side, boiling tea water over a small fire while roasting some silver apricot seeds on the edge of the stove, emitting a faint smoky fragrance.
When Ye Chen arrived, she smiled as brightly as a flower and said with joy: "Please sit down, noble sir. I've already brewed tea and have been waiting for you."
Ye Chen nodded slightly and sat down in front of her, Lin Wan'er carefully picking up a few roasted white dates from the iron mesh on the stove. The temperature was higher than usual, so she couldn't hold onto them all the time and nervously switched hands, looking like a juggler.
The white dates were passed back and forth several times, and the temperature gradually decreased. She then held the dates to her lips, lightly blowing on them, and only managed to open one of them, passing it to Ye Chen's mouth with an expectant smile: "Taste it, sir. I just brought it back from the mountains this afternoon."
Ye Chen was overcome with emotion and took a bite, finding it both bitter and sweet, with a strong flavor that was quite unique.
Just as he finished eating, Lin Wan'er peeled a few more dates and handed them over to him, then poured him a cup of tea. Her slender jade-like hands had been busy since Ye Chen arrived.
Ye Chen drank his tea before putting the cup down and asked: "Miss Lin, what new leads do you have?"
Lin Wan'er said: "The information about the Broken Clear Society that you found earlier in Singapore has already been sold to a French company. It seems that they're in quite a hurry over there, as the company has just changed hands and is already using one of their planes to start transporting things."
Ye Chen furrowed his brow: "Isn't the Broken Clear Society supposed to be in a dormant period? Why would they suddenly sell off that airline company?"
Lin Wan'er said: "I'm also unclear about this. Logically, the Broken Clear Society doesn't lack funds and wouldn't need to sell off the company. Moreover, the airline is their core logistics force worldwide, and it's even more ridiculous during a dormant period. I suspect they may have realized that the airline company is no longer safe."
Can I go with you, Public Servant?
After hearing Lin Wan'er's speculation, Ye Chen thought for a moment before speaking: "I've always felt that the Broken Clear Society will eventually realize it. Is it because their air transport company exposed every time they moved? It's just that I thought we could utilize this loophole to provide information and intelligence as much as possible before they become aware of it. But who would have thought they would enter a dormant period after three dukes died? They're currently handling the airline, which should be related to the situation at the time. Realizing there was an issue."
He then changed the subject: "But this is indeed very strange. If they realize there's an issue, they could just sit tight and pretend nothing's wrong or even sell it off like you said. It doesn't seem very necessary."
Lin Wan'er said: "I don't know what their intention is for now, but I feel that we can't let our guard down about this airline company. We need to continue monitoring its actions and those of the aircraft under its wing."
"Alright." Ye Chen nodded: "Our current leads are limited. This airline company is probably the most valuable one. If they're still adjusting personnel and resources during their dormant period, they'll likely try to wash their hands of it and change their face again. Let's keep a close eye on them."
Lin Wan'er looked worried: "I'm also afraid they might use this airline company as bait. Just like you said, if they've covered up everything and realized that the airline is a loophole, they won't necessarily want to fix the loophole. They'll have a certain probability of using it to lure Public Servant out from the shadows."
Ye Chen thought for a moment before nodding: "It's not impossible. Wu Feiyun's current priority is probably no longer you but me." JrNovels.com
