Chapter 2676: Never Mention It!

The An family had long known that the old lady was going to Jin Ling.

Moreover, this decision of hers had long received the approval of the entire family.

After experiencing that crisis that almost wiped out the family, the An family members, who had survived the disaster, lost interest in career, money, and status, and hoped to make up for the regrets in their lives in the future.

And for the entire An family, the death of An Chengxi was naturally the greatest regret.

And following closely behind was the unknown whereabouts of Ye Chen.

An Chengxi's death could no longer be made up for or recovered, and the only thing that could be made up for now was to find Ye Chen.

Especially since the old master's Alzheimer's was getting worse, the An family did not want the old master to have completely forgotten who Ye Chen was by the time they found him.

An Chongqiu, as the person in charge of the An family's internal affairs, had already arranged for his subordinates to buy the Wanliu Villa in Jin Ling in advance, and at the same time coordinated over a hundred Martial Dao experts and well-trained bodyguards to go to Jin Ling in advance to prepare.

With so many experts protecting the Wanliu Villa layer by layer, coupled with the fact that public security in China was much better than in the United States and there was no situation of rampant firearms, for the An family, the safety in Jin Ling was generally much higher than in the United States.

At this moment, An Chongqiu said, "Mom, this time I will accompany you and Dad to go first. Zhaonan and Youyou will stay in the United States to arrange the children's affairs first. After the children are settled, they will set off for Jin Ling to meet us. Kaifeng doesn't need to rush to set off for the time being. Some business matters in the United States, as well as various affairs of the board of directors, still need Kaifeng to make arrangements, so Kaifeng will set off last."

The old lady had no objection to this arrangement, so she nodded and said, "Let's follow Chongqiu's arrangement."

Others also nodded one after another. An Chongqiu, the eldest brother, could always arrange the family's affairs in an orderly manner, so he had great prestige within the family. Even An Kaifeng, who was in charge of the entire An family's business, had always been obedient to An Chongqiu in internal family affairs.

Seeing that no one had any objections, An Chongqiu asked the old lady, "Mom, when do you think it's appropriate for us to set off?"

The old lady said without hesitation, "Let's set off tonight! We'll arrive after a sleep. I have already asked Master Hong to help look at the Feng Shui of Wanliu Villa. Master Hong said that the natural environment there is very good, and compared to a metropolis like New York, it is more suitable for the old man to recuperate."

An Chongqiu immediately said, "Okay, Mom, then I will coordinate the plane now and go over as soon as possible."

"Oh, by the way." The old lady suddenly remembered something and said, "There is one thing, I have hesitated again and again, but I still have to greet you."

Everyone hurriedly said, "Mom, please speak!"

The old lady looked around at everyone and then said, "This time going to Jin Ling, none of you are allowed to bring your family members with you. Tell them it's my intention. If they complain about me, let them complain."

An Zhaonan's wife of twenty years turned out to be an undercover agent planted by the Poqing Society for more than twenty years. This made the old lady feel extremely insecure.

She didn't know if the other halves of her eldest son An Chongqiu, second son An Kaifeng, and youngest daughter An Youyou had the same hidden dangers, so this time going to Jin Ling to look for clues about her grandson, she didn't want any unstable factors to be mixed in. After all, An Chengxi had already passed away, and if Ye Chen was implicated because the confidentiality work was not in place, she was afraid that she would not be able to explain it to her eldest daughter after she died.

An Chongqiu, An Kaifeng, and An Youyou also understood the old lady's worries very well. Although they trusted their other halves very much, no one dared to speak too full at this time.

So, An Chongqiu took the lead in expressing his position, "Mom, don't worry. This time going to Jin Ling, I didn't plan to bring my wife and children anyway."

An Kaifeng and An Youyou also nodded in agreement.

"Good." The old lady said with relief, "From now on, as long as the Poqing Society has not perished, the major affairs of the An family can only be decided by me and the old man, as well as the four of you brothers and sisters. An family descendants under twenty-four are not allowed to intervene, and any outsiders who cannot be absolutely trusted are not allowed to intervene."

Everyone nodded repeatedly. In extraordinary times, the old lady's approach received unanimous approval from everyone.

At this time, the old lady said to An Chongqiu again, "Chongqiu, you contact Yalin and see what he is doing now. If his time and energy allow, please ask him to go to Jin Ling with us. At present, except for Nannan, I only trust him as an outsider. And he has been a detective for so many years, no one should be better at finding people than him. If he can go with us, he should be able to help us a lot."

"No problem." An Chongqiu said immediately, "I will call Old Li in a while to see if he has time."

The old lady urged, "I have to wait a while. Call now. If Yalin is in the United States and the time is no problem, you send a plane to pick him up, and we will go together tonight."

"Okay!" An Chongqiu immediately took out his mobile phone and paced to the window to call Li Yalin.

Some time ago, Li Yalin had been in Syria. His task was to find a way to find other dead soldier stations of the Poqing Society. But ever since Ye Chen set a trap to kill Oubojun, the Jian Gong Bo of the Poqing Society, and successfully executed the plan to cover the nest, the Poqing Society had entered a dormant period, and the clues of the shipping company had also been interrupted for the time being. So Ye Chen gave Li Yalin a vacation and let him return to the United States to accompany his wife and daughter first.

At present, Li Yalin had just returned to Houston for two days.

After receiving An Chongqiu's call, he just pressed the answer button and heard An Chongqiu ask, "Old Li, are you in the United States now?"

"Yes." Li Yalin didn't say that he had gone abroad some time ago and said casually, "I'm in Houston."

Saying that, he asked curiously, "Chongqiu, you haven't contacted me for a while. Why did you call suddenly today? Is there anything you need my help with?"

An Chongqiu didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point, "Old Li, my mom plans to go to Jin Ling to look for clues about my eldest nephew again. She wants to invite you to go with her. After all, no one is better at finding people than you. See if the time is convenient for you?"

When Li Yalin heard this, he felt a little worried.

It wasn't that he didn't want to go to Jin Ling, but mainly because he already knew Ye Chen's identity and also knew that the Ye Chen the An family was looking for was settled in Jin Ling. However, as long as Ye Chen didn't nod, he absolutely couldn't reveal his identity. So, if he went to Jin Ling with the An family, he would have to pretend to help the An family look for Ye Chen's whereabouts. Thinking of the appearance of the two old people looking for their grandson, he really couldn't bear it.

Seeing that Li Yalin didn't answer for a long time, An Chongqiu said, "It's okay, Old Li. If it's not convenient for you, you don't have to be embarrassed."

"No, no." Li Yalin hurriedly said, "I'm retired now, how could it be inconvenient... You tell me what time to set off, and I'll prepare."

An Chongqiu said, "My mom means to set off from New York tonight. If you have no problem, I will send a plane to pick you up in Houston."

"Okay." Li Yalin agreed readily and said, "You coordinate the plane and tell me the time to take off from Houston. I'll just pack a few clothes and go to the airport."

An Chongqiu said with gratitude, "Thank you so much, Old Li. I'll arrange the plane now and tell you as soon as the plane arrives in Houston."

"Okay!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Yalin thought for a while and decided to report the situation to Ye Chen in advance. On one hand, Ye Chen was his savior, and on the other hand, Ye Chen also saved the entire An family. In this situation, he should tell Ye Chen the situation. If Ye Chen really didn't want to see the An family, it would be better for him to prepare in advance.

Subsequently, he called Ye Chen.

At this time, it was already night in Jin Ling, and Ye Chen's family was watching TV in the living room on the first floor.

Seeing Li Yalin's call, Ye Chen went to the courtyard before pressing the answer button.

On the other end of the phone, Li Yalin said, "Mr. Ye, your eldest uncle invited me to go to Jin Ling with him and your grandparents. The purpose is to look for clues related to you, and they are going to set off tonight. I have already agreed to him. Do you have any instructions?"

Hearing Li Yalin's narration, Ye Chen didn't feel surprised.

After all, when he went to Wanliu Villa with Hong Changqing a few days ago, he knew that his grandmother's family would set off for Jin Ling before long.

So, he said to Li Yalin, "You just help them investigate normally. I will handle the clues in Jin Ling properly. However, you have to give me a heads-up in advance and tell me where you are going to start."

Li Yalin said, "I estimate that it will be nothing more than starting from the school you attended, the location where your parents had an accident, and the house where your parents used to live. Of course, all the orphanages and welfare homes in Jin Ling are also top priorities. These don't need me to remind you. I estimate that your eldest uncle and the others have already sorted out the clues."

Ye Chen gave a hum and said, "I will handle these well. If there is anything else, just tell me in advance."

Li Yalin said, "No problem."

Subsequently, Ye Chen exhorted him again, "By the way, after my grandparents arrive, be sure to ensure that they move into the villa in the middle of Wanliu Villa, and find a way to delay time and let them stay for a few more days."

The villa in the center of Wanliu Villa had the formation and Rejuvenating Pill left by Ye Chen. The medicinal power would be released for at least a month. If the two old people lived there for a long time, their physical condition could also be greatly improved.

Li Yalin didn't know why, but he still said without hesitation, "Okay, Mr. Ye, I will pay attention."

After speaking, Li Yalin tentatively asked him, "Mr. Ye, do you really not plan to recognize them?"

Ye Chen said lightly, "We have only destroyed the tip of the iceberg of the Poqing Society, and who knows how many eyes the Poqing Society has planted around my grandparents. If I recognize them, this matter will definitely not be hidden from the Poqing Society. By then, the advantage of the enemy being in the light and me being in the dark will be gone. My ability is limited, and by then I may not be able to protect the people around me, nor can I protect my grandparents' family. So it's better not to recognize them for the time being."

Li Yalin sighed, "You are right. The An family really cannot rule out all hidden dangers now."

Ye Chen sighed silently and said, "Let's do as I said for now."

"Okay, Mr. Ye!"

After hanging up Chen Zekai's phone, Ye Chen immediately called Chen Zekai. Once the call was connected, he said in an unquestionable tone, "Old Chen, notify everyone in Jin Ling who knows my identity as the Young Master of the Ye family and Master Ye that from today on, in front of any outsiders, they must never mention my identity."

Chen Zekai's tone tightened, and he said firmly, "Okay, Young Master, I will do it right away!"

Subsequently, Ye Chen called Su Zhiyu again.

After the call was connected, Su Zhiyu said respectfully on the other end of the phone, "Hello, Mr. Ye."

Ye Chen said, "Miss Su, please help me convey to Aunt Du that if anyone goes to my parents' old house to inquire about my whereabouts, remember not to reveal any information related to me." ===== CHAPTER 2677 =====
