Chapter 2853

Late at night, a freighter set sail from Bohai Bay, carrying Tang Sihai to Tahiti in the South Pacific.

Tang Sihai stood at the stern, watching Jin Cheng Port getting further and further away in the night, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

Although he was the confidant of Ye Chen's father, Ye Changying, twenty years ago, Ye Changying gave him two tasks: one was to protect Ye Chen's safety after he met with misfortune, and the other was to obey An Chengxi's instructions in everything.

Over the years, although Tang Sihai had been serving as the butler in the Ye family, in reality, everything was following An Chengxi's instructions.

For more than ten years before, even Ye Zhongquan didn't know whether his grandson Ye Chen was alive or dead.

This was because Ye Changying didn't arrange when Tang Sihai should inform Ye Zhongquan of Ye Chen's news before he met with misfortune; everything was still controlled by An Chengxi behind the scenes.

It was only when An Chengxi felt the time was ripe that she let Tang Sihai confess Ye Chen's situation to Ye Zhongquan. Ye Zhongquan felt that he had failed his son and daughter-in-law, and coupled with the fact that this grandson had a rough fate, in order to make up for Ye Chen, he bought the Dihao Group and gave Tang Sihai a black card with ten billion to bring to Ye Chen, and only then did everything that followed happen.

Leaving Yan Jing suddenly, although Tang Sihai was reluctant, he also knew that leaving temporarily was the best way at the moment. The only thing that made him feel ashamed was leaving Ye Chen without saying goodbye.

And at this moment, Ye Chen was lying alone in the guest room of the Ye family's old house, tossing and turning.

Tang Sihai's departure without saying goodbye made him understand a truth.

Tang Sihai was not working for his grandfather Ye Zhongquan, nor was he working for his father Ye Changying.

If Tang Sihai were working for his father, he wouldn't have left today.

On the contrary, he would have helped him figure out who this Zhou Liangyun was and where he was.

After all, this Zhou Liangyun was highly likely his father's friend, and Tang Sihai was his father's old subordinate. There was no need for these two to hide from each other.

The only conclusion was that Tang Sihai was actually working for a third person he didn't know.

That person didn't want him to know of their existence through Tang Sihai, which was why they let Tang Sihai disappear suddenly, leaving him with nowhere to verify and nowhere to ask.

What puzzled Ye Chen was who this third person was.

However, fortunately, various signs indicated that this third person was definitely not an enemy, which allowed Ye Chen to breathe a sigh of relief amidst his confusion.

Early the next morning.

Ye Chen left the guest room with the photo album and came to the main hall. Ye Zhongquan was already waiting there. Seeing Ye Chen come out, he said: "Chen'er, Miss Lin asked me to tell you that she went out to buy some breakfast and will be back in a while."

Ye Chen asked in surprise: "She went by herself?"

Ye Zhongquan nodded and said: "Sihai couldn't be reached, and no servants were left at the old house. I said I would go, but she went out before me."

Ye Chen nodded lightly, feeling a little worried in his heart.

After all, Wu Feiyan had always wanted to catch Lin Wan'er, and Lin Wan'er had no bodyguards or servants around her. Going out alone always made him feel a bit uneasy.

Just as he was thinking, Lin Wan'er had already pushed the door and walked in, carrying quite a few bags containing breakfast. Seeing Ye Chen, she smiled and said: "Young Master is awake. Come and have breakfast. I bought a lot of Yan Jing specialty breakfasts."

As she spoke, she hurriedly said to Ye Zhongquan: "Grandfather Ye, let's have some together!"

Ye Zhongquan nodded lightly and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Lin."

After speaking, he whispered to Ye Chen: "Chen'er, why does this Miss Lin call you Young Master?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The young lady likes ancient style culture. Don't be surprised if she calls herself 'this slave' (nu jia) later."

Ye Zhongquan shook his head and smiled: "I'm old and don't understand the things these young people like."

As he spoke, he lowered his voice again and said to Ye Chen: "But this Miss Lin really has the demeanor of a young lady from a great family. It's just that she's a bit young. Otherwise, she would really be suitable for you."

"Yes, she is indeed young..." Ye Chen agreed with a smile, thinking to himself: "If you knew that Lin Wan'er is already over 300 years old, you would probably be scared to faint."

Afterwards, he went to the dining room with Ye Zhongquan.

Lin Wan'er was taking out the breakfast she bought one by one, and Ye Chen handed the photo album in his hand to Ye Zhongquan, asking him: "Grandfather, do you have any impression of this photo album before?"

"Photo album?" Ye Zhongquan frowned: "Where did this photo album come from?"

Ye Chen said: "In my parents' old study."

"That shouldn't be..." Ye Zhongquan murmured: "I have tidied up your parents' study I don't know how many times. I know exactly how many books are in it. I haven't seen any photo album in it!"

Ye Chen pointed to the photo album and asked him: "Do you have no impression of this photo album at all?"

Ye Zhongquan looked at the photo album Ye Chen handed over and shook his head: "First time seeing it, and I can be sure that this thing was definitely not in your parents' study before."

Ye Chen felt a bit confused in his heart.

His parents passed away twenty years ago, and the old man had always kept the old house in its original state. He should know everything in this old house like the back of his hand.

If he said he had no impression of this photo album, it proved that this photo album was brought by someone later.

Thinking of Tang Sihai, Ye Chen speculated that it was highly likely that Tang Sihai brought it yesterday.

It seems that Tang Sihai knew what he was looking for, so he left clues here in advance so that he could discover them.

This also made Ye Chen more certain of his guess last night: Tang Sihai must be working for someone else.

He even felt that the person behind this was very likely the same person behind the two nuns at Qingzhao Nunnery yesterday.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen was full of anticipation for solving this riddle.

Immediately, he looked at Ye Zhongquan in front of him and said: "Grandfather, then open it and see if the photos inside look familiar."

Ye Zhongquan nodded lightly, opened the photo album in confusion, and after looking through it carefully, said to Ye Chen: "I haven't seen these photos before."

Ye Chen pointed to the group photo of Zhou Liangyun and his father and asked: "Grandfather, do you have any impression of this person next to my father?"

Ye Zhongquan stared at Zhou Liangyun for a long time and shook his head: "No impression, and I have never heard Changying mention him. I think this photo should have been taken in the United States. Could it be a friend he had in the United States back then?"

Seeing that the old man really didn't know him, Ye Chen nodded slightly and said: "It should be."

Ye Zhongquan suddenly remembered something and reminded Ye Chen: "By the way, Chen'er, I remember you brought Chen Zhaozhong back from the United States some time ago. He had a very good relationship with your father when he was alive, and he also lived in the United States for a long time. I think you can find him and ask."

Ye Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. Before, he let Chen Zhaozhong stay in Hong Kong to accompany his family more and wait for his summons, but in order to let Chen Zhaozhong accompany his family more, Ye Chen never let him come to Jin Ling. At the critical moment, he didn't think of him!

So Ye Chen immediately said: "Grandfather, you are right. I will take a photo of the picture and send it to Uncle Zhong and ask him if he knows him."
