Chapter 2781: The person with the greatest suspicion
The dazzling array of delicious dishes were almost all made by the chefs of Tianxiang Mansion. Ye Chen had long been tired of the taste of Tianxiang Mansion, so he didn't feel amazed, but the eggplant boxes made by his grandmother still brought him back to the feeling of his childhood.
The An family was even happier. Everyone poured themselves wine, and the whole family toasted to celebrate finding Ye Chen, their excitement overflowing.
After a few glasses of wine, the An family members all opened their hearts. Everyone asked Ye Chen about the details of his life over the years, and at the same time introduced in detail what the An family had done over the years to Ye Chen.
Afterwards, everyone talked about the several times Ye Chen saved the An family from fire and water.
This also happened to give Ye Chen an opportunity to talk about the hidden dangers of the An family.
Ye Chen said, "I have always speculated that the Poqing Society must have planted other eyes and ears in the An family, otherwise the other party would not be able to grasp every move of the An family so easily. This is also why I have always asked Hong Wu to block the signal here, not allowing you to have any contact with the outside world, just to fear that you would leak the details of what happened last night."
Ye Chen's grandfather said, "Chen'er, if there is still a traitor in the An family, where do you think the main direction should be if we want to find this person?"
Ye Chen said, "I believe the traitor will definitely not appear among the An family members themselves, but it is highly likely that they are also people very close to the An family."
Grandfather nodded and said with a solemn expression, "The last one who had an accident was Xu Liqin. She and your third uncle met on campus, and when they met, your parents had just passed away not long ago. I think they should have started to infiltrate the An family quietly shortly after your parents passed away."
Ye Chen agreed and said, "According to the details recalled by Eldest Uncle today, I think my parents should not have had any connection with the Poqing Society before leaving the United States. They only started to explore in this direction after obtaining the 'Nine Mysteries Scripture Preface,' and only then had the opportunity to have contact with the Poqing Society."
As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "Moreover, the Poqing Society has a very special point, that is, they only use their own people in the choice of performing tasks. The so-called own people are those who are firmly grasped by them, whether they are dead soldiers, Xiaoqi guards, or those members who are planted in various countries and industries in the world. So I speculate that their informants in the An family should be their own people sent here, not bought from the An family."
"Based on this point, I think all the people who came to the An family before my parents left the United States can be excluded from suspicion, and all the people who came to the An family after my parents left the United States need to be investigated carefully."
Grandfather frowned and said, "There are only two people who came to the An family after your parents left the United States. One is your so-called third aunt, and the other is your uncle-in-law..."
Having said this, he subconsciously looked up at An Youyou.
An Youyou was also a little nervous all of a sudden, and blurted out, "Dad, shouldn't Zhimin have any suspicion? Isn't his family also a Chinese family with a long history in the United States? Moreover, we met in the business field. It was the An family that first had cooperation with them, and then we gradually became familiar..."
An Qishan said earnestly, "Youyou, the cunning degree of the enemy will only continue to exceed our imagination, so you must not be too confident in this matter."
An Youyou's expression was a little uneasy all of a sudden. She had known her husband for more than ten years, and her daughter was already twelve years old this year. She couldn't believe that her husband would have any suspicion.
But then again, she also knew very well that before the third sister-in-law had an accident, she and the third brother were extremely affectionate. Everyone thought that the third brother had married a beautiful, generous, gentle, and elegant good wife, but who knew that the other party actually wanted to kill the entire An family, leaving none behind.
An Qishan said again, "After the incident in New York last time, I and Kaifeng both felt that Zhimin's suspicion was very high, but not long after, Xu Liqin committed suicide by taking poison, so our focus was all on Xu Liqin. Now that I think about it, it is very difficult for Zhimin to clear his suspicion."
Ye Chen said at this time, "I think what Grandfather said makes sense. If calculated according to this time node, the suspicion of Uncle-in-law is indeed the greatest."
As he spoke, Ye Chen added, "However, there is no way to draw a conclusion about this matter for the time being, so my idea is that everyone should not contact anyone for the time being, and wait for me to sort it out little by little before talking."
Everyone agreed one after another. Everyone knew very well that if the enemy hidden in the dark was not dug out, the An family would never have peace.
And An Youyou also knew very well in her heart that this matter could not be judged by intuition alone. At present, except for Ye Chen, no one could guarantee 100% reliability. Whether her husband had any problems would have to wait until after the investigation.
At this time, Ye Chen's grandmother asked, "Chen'er, in your opinion, after today, the An family should not have any contact with the outside world for the time being?"
Ye Chen shook his head, "Grandmother, the An family has such a large family business to manage. It is not realistic to suddenly cut off all contact with the outside world. Before I came, the reason I didn't let the An family contact the outside world was mainly because I didn't want you to leak the details of what happened last night. So as long as a unified statement is set, after tomorrow, the An family can return to normal life and work, and can also restore normal communication with the An family's relatives, employees, and servants."
Eldest Uncle An Chongqiu asked, "Chen'er, how do you think we should talk about what happened last night to these people? Take your uncle-in-law as an example. If he really has a problem, he will definitely be very eager to know the details of what happened last night. Your aunt's answer cannot let him notice that we have already suspected him."
Ye Chen nodded and asked An Youyou, "Aunt, after the incident in New York last time, did you mention the things that happened that day to Uncle-in-law?"
An Youyou said, "I told him about what happened that day, including your third sister-in-law committing suicide by taking poison, and you suddenly appearing to save us. But at that time, we didn't know your identity either, so I just said that a mysterious benefactor made a move at a critical moment to save us."
Ye Chen nodded slightly and said, "Since you have already told Uncle-in-law about the last incident, if you cover up the things that happened yesterday, it will only make him vigilant;"
"So, if Uncle-in-law and others ask, it is better to tell them generously that the An family was attacked yesterday, and name the attacker as the Earl of Changsheng of the Poqing Society, who wanted to force the so-called secret of immortality from the An family, and then tell them that it was the same benefactor from last time who appeared at the critical moment and directly beat that Earl of Changsheng out of the door. After that, except for hearing a loud explosion, you didn't know anything else."
An Youyou asked hurriedly, "Then what if he asks about you?"
Ye Chen said, "This is simple. Just say that I didn't show my true face like last time, but judged by the voice that it was the same person who saved you in New York last time. When the time comes, you pretend to suddenly remember some details and tell him casually, saying that I said to that Earl of Changsheng in front of you last night that sooner or later, I would personally cut off Wu Feiyan's head!" ===== CHAPTER 2782 =====
