Chapter 2503: South of Yanjing

"Miss, the Ye Chen you met, does he look exactly like Ye Changying?!"

The old man was filled with disbelief at this moment.

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and said indifferently, "I can't say they are one hundred percent identical, but at least ninety percent."

"Ninety percent..." the old man said, shocked, "If that's the case, then there shouldn't be any discrepancy. If their adult appearances are so similar, and combined with the fact that the person's name is also Ye Chen, there certainly won't be any problem..."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but mutter, "Then this... this means... Changying and Chengxi's son is still alive?!"

Lin Wan'er swept away her previous gloom and said with a smile, "Not only is he alive, but he's living very well! His strength is extremely formidable. The Cavalry Guards of the Anti-Qing Society are like carrots piled on a chopping block before him, with no ability to resist at all. It is truly impressive."

"Really?!" The old man was even more dumbfounded, saying excitedly, "Good! That's truly good! The excellence of Changying and Chengxi, among people of that age group, is something I have never seen before! Back then, those two died young, and I often felt regret for them. I didn't expect that their son would not only be alive but also so outstanding. Nothing could be more comforting than this! The child of a dragon and phoenix is indeed no ordinary being!"

Speaking of this, the old man couldn't help but sigh, "This... this is truly unbelievable... The child that both families searched for for so many years without finding, having left the foundation of these two families, could actually possess such strength. It is truly hard to understand..."

Lin Wan'er smiled, "He must have had his own opportunities, and they must have been very spectacular ones."

The old man smiled with relief, "I'm truly curious how he managed to do it."

Lin Wan'er nodded and said frankly, "I'm also very curious... even a bit gossipy..."

As she spoke, she couldn't help but mutter, "By the way, he was able to chase the Anti-Qing Society all the way to Northern Europe. This not only shows that he has already grasped certain clues about the Anti-Qing Society, but also that he has a deep hatred for them!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lin Wan'er suddenly stood up, clenched her fists, and said excitedly, "I know! The death of his parents is highly likely related to the Anti-Qing Society! He is going to seek revenge against the Anti-Qing Society for the murder of his father and mother! Just like me, I also want to seek revenge against them for the murder of my father!"

The old man said subconsciously, "Did Changying and Chengxi die at the hands of the Anti-Qing Society back then?! If Ye Chen wants to be an enemy of the Anti-Qing Society, why doesn't he acknowledge his grandfather and maternal grandfather? Both families are exceptionally powerful and could certainly help him a lot..."

Lin Wan'er shook her head and said seriously, "Dealing with the Anti-Qing Society, if you only have money, then no matter how much money you have, it's meaningless! Even the Rothschild family is not enough to look at in front of the Anti-Qing Society. The Anti-Qing Society has always been most afraid of exposing itself, so it has always acted very low-key. Otherwise, they could make everyone in the Rothschild family vanish from the face of the earth overnight. Even if they have tens of trillions of US dollars in assets, so what? If you have money, you must also have a life to spend it!"

The old man's expression tightened, and he nodded, "You are right... Money is not the first priority; strength is."

Lin Wan'er smiled slightly, looked at the old man, and instructed, "By the way, you must not tell anyone about this matter, especially the people of the Ye family!"

The old man couldn't help but say, "Miss, can you let me reveal a little to Ye Zhongquan of the Ye family? I have a good friendship with him, and he has been looking for this child for twenty years..."

Lin Wan'er shook her head, "Better not for now. Ye Chen's situation is special, and he has now clashed with the Anti-Qing Society. If the people of the Ye family know and go searching with great fanfare, it might bring trouble upon themselves. You wouldn't want to see the Ye family targeted by the Anti-Qing Society, would you?"

"That's true..." The old man sighed with some melancholy and said, "Miss, rest assured, I will definitely keep my mouth shut!"

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and added, "Ye Chen went missing in Jin Ling. In this way, there are two possibilities: one is that after he went missing, his identity was changed by someone, and his identity was hidden using the second method you just mentioned; the other is that after he went missing, he was taken directly overseas and has been living under an assumed name overseas."

The old man said, "If it's the first possibility, then you might be able to find him in the country. If it's the second, it might be very difficult to find him in the country."

"It doesn't matter." Lin Wan'er said with a smile, "Knowing his true identity, I have already succeeded halfway!"

After saying that, Lin Wan'er added, "I want to look for him in the country first. If I really can't find him, then I'll go overseas to take a look."

The old man asked hurriedly, "Miss, where do you plan to look for him?"

Lin Wan'er smiled, "Naturally, I'm going to Jin Ling. That's where he went missing twenty years ago. All clues must start from there!"

The old man said subconsciously, "Miss, the Ye family and the An family also started looking from Jin Ling back then. After turning Jin Ling upside down, they searched all over the world for many years and never found him. If you go to Jin Ling to look for him after twenty years, won't it be a wasted effort?"

Lin Wan'er said seriously, "Since the Ye family and the An family started from Jin Ling and searched the whole world without finding him, then in my opinion, it is precisely Jin Ling that has the greatest possibility."

The old man asked her, "Miss, do you want to cast a divination to see if you can calculate his whereabouts?"

"I can't calculate it." Lin Wan'er shook her head, "I've tried. The divination shows flowers in the fog, making it hard to discern his trail. However, there is a hint of a flood dragon entering the sea in the divination. I think it should be that after Ye Chen experienced some special opportunities, his destiny was directly elevated to a true dragon destiny. In this world, there are countless types of destinies, but only the dragon destiny is supreme. If a person has already achieved the dragon destiny, I can't calculate it no matter what."

The old man asked curiously, "Is there anything you can't calculate? We now have his childhood identity information. Do you want to use his birth date and time to calculate it again?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head, "My near-divine divination can't calculate his clues, so the birth date and time will be even more hopeless."

The old man sighed, "Then as you said, let's go to Jin Ling and try!"

After saying that, the old man asked her, "Miss, why don't I accompany you to Jin Ling!"

Lin Wan'er did not commit, but just looked at him and said, "I see your blood and energy are weak, and your health doesn't seem very good?"

"Yes." The old man smiled bitterly and said, "I am already eighty-eight this year. I have diabetes, high blood pressure, and coronary heart disease. I have had a heart attack, had stents and bypass surgery, and a few years ago I had lung cancer. My left lung was removed, and I had chemotherapy. My body is clearly not doing well anymore. The doctor said a few days ago that I have started to have kidney failure. I should start hemodialysis in a while, but in my condition, I probably can't withstand much tossing. I'll be satisfied if I can live for another two years."

Lin Wan'er frowned and asked him, "Can't you have a kidney transplant?"

The old man smiled, "Look at my frame, can I still withstand such a major surgery? I guess by the time I get on the operating table, before the new lung is put in, I'll already be gone."

"That's true." Lin Wan'er nodded and said indifferently, "Let me take your pulse."

The old man was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, flattered, "Miss, this... I'm afraid this won't do... How dare I trouble you to take my pulse..."

Lin Wan'er waved her hand, "There's nothing that won't do."

As she spoke, she pointed to the armrest of the chair and said, "Put your hand here."

"Thank you, Miss!" The old man hurriedly placed his left hand on the chair armrest. Lin Wan'er gently placed her fingers on his pulse point, closed her eyes and felt it for a moment, then withdrew her hand, sighed, and said very directly, "I'm sorry, although I know some Traditional Chinese Medicine, it might not be profound enough. In your situation, I am already powerless to make any changes."

When the old man heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Miss, you don't need to blame yourself. I am already very satisfied to have lived until today."

Lin Wan'er was silent for a moment and said, "Let me cast a divination for you. My level of divination is much stronger than my level of Traditional Chinese Medicine."

After saying that, without waiting for the old man's response, she took out nine copper coins from her pocket.

Subsequently, she placed the nine copper coins on the coffee table in front of her, and just like before, divided the copper coins equally into three rows. Diagonally, she first grabbed three coins and threw them onto the table.

Immediately, she looked at the divination of the copper coins and frowned, "The divination shows that your natural lifespan is coming to an end, at most, there is half a year left."

"Half a year?" The old man's expression tightened, and he stood there as if he had been cast with a freezing spell.

However, he quickly came back to his senses and smiled miserably, "Although it is shorter than I expected, it doesn't matter. Half a year is enough for me to arrange my funeral affairs..."

Lin Wan'er didn't speak, continued to pick up the three copper coins at the bottom left, and threw them onto the coffee table again.

This time, her eyebrows lifted slightly, and she said, "However, the current divination has a glimmer of life. If you can grasp this glimmer of life, you can live to be a hundred years old."

"Live to be a hundred years old?!" The old man's eyes widened instantly, and he blurted out, "This... is this possible? Living to be a hundred years old, that's at least another twelve years..."

Lin Wan'er said seriously, "Divination will not lie. Your natural lifespan has only two possibilities: either within half a year; or after a hundred years."

The old man said with some surprise, "Miss... then... how should I grasp this glimmer of life?"

Lin Wan'er grabbed the last three copper coins again, threw them onto the coffee table, then looked at the nine copper coins on the table, and frowned without speaking.

Seeing her solemn expression, the old man didn't dare to ask questions and could only wait anxiously.

A moment later, Lin Wan'er said suspiciously, "Strange, this divination says that your glimmer of life is actually related to me, but I really have no way to extend your life... If my father were still here, he would definitely have a way. Unfortunately, before he left, he never taught me that skill... Maybe it's also because I'm not that kind of material..."

The old man didn't know whether to be happy or worried at this time. After all, even Lin Wan'er couldn't figure out the reason, so he had no way to comprehend it.

At this time, Lin Wan'er grabbed the copper coin at the southernmost point, held it up in front of the old man, and said seriously, "This Yongle Tongbao with three coins on the back represents the gate of life in my divination. It is at the southernmost end of the nine copper coins, which means your gate of life is south of Yanjing."

"South of Yanjing..." The old man muttered, completely confused.

Lin Wan'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and she smiled, "Although I don't have my father's skills, I know one person who definitely does!"

After saying that, she looked at the old man and said seriously, "This south of Yanjing must be Jin Ling!"
