"Alright, I understand."
"That's it for today, then. It has been quite a hectic day, so I'll go home and pack up briefly. Early tomorrow morning, I'll leave as soon as I wake up, and then, if anything comes up, we can keep in touch anytime. Yaru, is there anything you need to tell your grandfather?"
"Hehe, what is there to tell between him and me? Besides, I don't even want to go, so you can go by yourself."
"It's not like that. I mean, I'm going on your behalf, and I should at least represent a bit of your goodwill. How about this? I'll bring something he likes to eat and say it's from you."
"There's no need for that. Even if you say it's from me, he wouldn't believe it anyway, so I advise you not to do that. Alright, I'm tired too, I'm going to lie down for a bit. Later, I'll contact the old man to arrangement some work. That's all."
After speaking, Lin Yaru stood up and returned to the inside room.
When it was completely quiet inside, Anying just nodded at him. Finally, he pointed upwards with his finger. The two had a tacit understanding, then got up and headed upstairs.
They knew there were things that couldn't be discussed in front of Lin Yaru, especially given her current emotional volatility; they didn't want to influence her mood too much.
The two found a darker corner on the second floor and then sat down on the sofa.
"Can you see? She really can't accept all of this."
"I anticipated this, knowing what I know and his predictions back when his father was still presumed to be alive in this world. Honestly, I hesitated initially, but today confirmed it all. That year, he was indeed harmed by someone."
"What kind of hatred could have been hidden for over twenty years, and even now, is connected to a major construction conglomerate? If that is the case, I believe the underlying issues must be complex."
"It's not just your suspicion; I've been connecting the dots too, even suspecting that Lord Liu is hiding something from us, something he hasn't come forth with."
"Are you saying there are things he hasn't told you, possibly related to their family or the mystery behind this disappearance?"
"It might be the case, but I think it has less to do with the disappearance and more with their family affairs."
"If so, then this time it might really be troublesome."
"There's no trouble too big. Since we've come this far today, we cannot back down. I know in my heart how to handle this matter, and you don't need to apologize. Just take more care these next few days."
"Don't worry, you've entrusted Miss Lin to me; have you any reason to be uneasy?"
"Right, I haven't asked you yet—how did the handover with Ada go today?"
"Everything went very smoothly, and unexpectedly, Ada trusted me so much that he took out all his core machinery for my use. Now, I'm the only one who can freely enter that room. As of today, I have control over everything."
"Well, then this should be of great help to us in the future, shouldn't it?"
"Exactly, it's a significant help. I believe some of the equipment will definitely be useful on the island we plan to visit."
"Good, if that's the case, then nothing could be better. Alright, you've had a long day too; you probably have other matters to attend to. We'll stay in touch over the phone, and I won't say goodbye to you all tomorrow morning; I'll leave directly."
"Okay, I understand. Take care, and if anything comes up, contact me immediately."
The two exchanged a few brief pleasantries before standing up and leaving the location directly.
In fact, there wasn't much they needed to communicate about; to them, this was just another ordinary matter.
Early the next morning, he left according to the address provided.
The city was not very far from here, but he knew that this place wasn't where the old man usually stayed.
He knew most of their family's business was now overseas, so under these circumstances, this was merely a temporary office here.
This return to the Domestic meant that he probably had some urgent business to attend to, especially since an investigation into the disappearance of his son over 20 years ago might be reopened.
About an hour later, Ye Chen entered the city. Just as he exited the freeway, there was a black luxury nanny van parked by the roadside with its hazard lights on.
His car stopped next to it. He had already received a message saying that someone would guide him upon exiting the freeway.
"Hello, are you Mr. Ye Chen?"
At that moment, a middle-aged man wearing glasses approached and asked while looking at Ye Chen.
"Yes, it's me."
"Oh, I'm from Lord Liu. He specifically instructed me to wait here for you. Come, give me your car keys, and I'll have someone else drive it. Now, you can get in this car, and I'll take you to Lord Liu's place."
"Alright, I understand."
Ye Chen was well aware of Lord Liu's status and knew that meeting with someone like him would not be straightforward; hence, his process of meeting must be more complex than usual.
Following the man, he got into the car which then promptly headed towards the city center.
As they passed through the city center, they didn't stop but continued towards the outskirts.
