Chapter 1964

~6 min read 1,080 words

Until Ye Chen and Xiao Churan finished dinner with Kelly West and returned to the room, the mysterious person who sent the text message still did not give Ye Chen any reply.

Ye Chen also tried to call quietly, but the other party was still in a powered-off state.

Ye Chen was still a bit uneasy, so he sent another text message to this number, writing: "If you are a friend of Xiaofen and are reminding me out of kindness, please tell me some more specific information, thank you."

The message was sent, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea.

Because Xiao Churan had been on the road for a day, she was still somewhat tired, so after taking a bath, she couldn't resist the sleepiness and went to bed.

Ye Chen took a bath, wrapped in a bathrobe, and came to the terrace of the presidential suite on the top floor of the building, looking at the thousands of lights outside, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Although it was his first time in Providence, New York, two or three hundred kilometers away from Providence, was the city where his grandfather's family settled.

And the San Francisco Bay Area on the West Coast, thousands of kilometers away, was Stanford University where his mother An Chengxi studied back then, as well as Silicon Valley where she created her own legend.

Coming to the United States again after more than twenty years, his longing for his mother in his heart surged out like a tide uncontrollably.

He remembered the bits and pieces of his childhood with his parents. While his heart was bleeding, he couldn't help but ask himself again: who killed his parents back then, and what was the other party's motive?

Apart from this, he also wanted to know that the Ye family was second to none in China back then, and the An family was even standing at the top of the pyramid internationally. With these two families as backing, why were his parents still killed?

At this thought, Ye Chen's heart was filled with mixed feelings.

Even if he already had heaven-reaching means, so what?

He still couldn't find out what happened back then and what hidden secrets were behind it.

If he could exchange for his parents' lives, he would be willing to give up everything he possessed, even if he gave up the "Nine Mysteries Heavenly Sutra," he would have no complaints.

It's just a pity that this world would not give him a chance to exchange.

While sighing, his mobile phone suddenly rang.

He originally thought it might be the message from the mysterious person, but he didn't expect it to be another strange call starting with +1.

Ye Chen withdrew his thoughts and pressed the answer button, asking vigilantly: "Hello, who is this?"

Lai Qinghua's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Young Master Ye, it's me, Lai Qinghua."

Ye Chen was stunned for a moment and asked respectfully: "Old Mr. Lai, it's so late, why do you have time to call me?"

Lai Qinghua hurriedly said: "Young Master Ye, there is an important matter that I dare not delay, so I called you as soon as possible."

Ye Chen hurriedly asked: "Old Mr. Lai, what important matter is it? Please tell me directly."

Lai Qinghua said seriously: "Your grandfather just called me and asked me about the Rejuvenation Pill."

"My grandfather?" Ye Chen frowned and asked: "Did my eldest uncle tell him about the Rejuvenation Pill after he went back?"

"Yes." Lai Qinghua said: "Your grandfather said he wanted to buy a Rejuvenation Pill and hoped I could help bridge the gap."

Ye Chen asked him: "Old Mr. Lai, did you ask him what he intends to buy the Rejuvenation Pill for?"

"I asked." Lai Qinghua said: "But your grandfather said it was inconvenient to disclose. I speculate that it is highly likely that he needs it himself, but he cannot let the outside world know that his body has encountered a situation."

Saying this, Lai Qinghua added: "He found me because he wanted to know what channel I obtained the Rejuvenation Pill I got back then. However, I have already told him that this matter concerns heavenly secrets and is also inconvenient to disclose."

"And I have also clearly told him that if he wants to obtain the Rejuvenation Pill, he must sign up to participate in the Rejuvenation Pill auction next year."

"However, I was afraid that he would monitor my phone, so I changed to a mobile phone that no one knows about to report to you."

"Also, don't contact my previous phone in the future. Even my family doesn't know about this phone. If you have anything, you can call this phone to find me."

"Alright!" Ye Chen responded and said: "Thank you for your hard work, Old Mr. Lai."

"It's what I should do!" Lai Qinghua said: "I just calculated a hexagram for your grandfather. He has indeed been having many setbacks recently, and the next two or three years will be relatively dangerous overall. However, looking at it in the short term, there should be no danger, so you don't need to worry too much. If there is any latest situation over there, I will also convey it to you as soon as possible."

"Alright, Old Mr. Lai, thank you for your hard work."

Hanging up Lai Qinghua's phone, Ye Chen couldn't help but ponder in his heart: "My eldest uncle came to buy the Rejuvenation Pill, it seems it should be for my grandfather. Combined with Old Mr. Lai's hexagram, it should be that my grandfather's body has encountered some situation."

At this thought, a thought flashed through Ye Chen's mind: should he confirm his grandfather's situation? If the situation is critical, should he lend a helping hand?

However, thinking back to the questions he had when missing his parents just now, Ye Chen felt a bit indignant in his heart.

The An family is so strong, why haven't they found out the truth about his parents' death twenty years after they passed away?

Apart from this, he still remembered that when he followed his mother back to the United States to visit relatives, his grandfather never gave his mother a good look.

Every time his mother held on and asked about his grandfather, grandmother, and a group of relatives, after returning to the room, she would always cry secretly.
