Ye Chen sent the photo to Chen Zhaozhong on WeChat and attached a voice message: "Uncle Zhong, please help me take a look. Do you know this person next to my father?"

Chen Zhaozhong quickly sent back a voice message: "Young Master, I have seen this person in the photo before. His English name is Peter, Peter Chou, Zhou Peter. But I am not very familiar with him. I only know that he is a Chinese-American antique dealer and has a very close relationship with your father."

Hearing Chen Zhaozhong say he knew this person, Ye Chen immediately called him. As soon as the call connected, he hurriedly asked: "Uncle Zhong, please introduce this Peter Zhou to me in detail."

Chen Zhaozhong said: "Peter Zhou's family has been engaged in the antique business overseas. Their main business is concentrated in Europe and the United States. Besides the United States, it's the United Kingdom and France. His family is quite famous in the antique industry in Europe and the United States."

As he spoke, Chen Zhaozhong added: "The photo you sent is the storefront of Peter Zhou's family in New York. It is said that this shop is the first shop opened by the Zhou family, so the storefront is quite small and not eye-catching."

Ye Chen asked him: "Uncle Zhong, when was the last time you saw this Peter Zhou?"

Chen Zhaozhong said: "That should have been a long time ago. When I opened a roast goose shop in Chinatown, he patronized it several times, but later he didn't seem to be in New York, so we lost contact."

As he spoke, Chen Zhaozhong asked curiously: "Young Master, are you planning to find Peter Zhou?"

Ye Chen said frankly: "I plan to go to New York, go to this antique shop first, and it would be even better if I could find this Peter Zhou."

Chen Zhaozhong said without hesitation: "Young Master, I will accompany you. After all, I am more familiar with New York, and I have met Peter a few times."

Ye Chen asked him: "Is it convenient for you, Uncle Zhong?"

"Convenient, convenient," Chen Zhaozhong hurriedly said: "I was supposed to go to Jin Ling to report to you, Young Master. I have been accompanying my family these days, and things at home have been settled."

Ye Chen pondered for a moment and said: "That's good. When can you set off, Uncle Zhong?"

Chen Zhaozhong said: "I can do it at any time, today is fine. I will check the flight tickets now."

Ye Chen smiled: "Uncle Zhong, don't be so troublesome. I will ask Liu Jiahui to arrange a private jet to send you to Jin Ling, and then we will meet in Jin Ling."

Chen Zhaozhong coughed twice and said embarrassedly: "Young Master, the house I live in and all expenses are arranged by Mr. Liu. I will go to Jin Ling by myself, just buy a flight ticket. It's better not to trouble Mr. Liu."

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said seriously: "Uncle Zhong, these are all owed to you by Liu Jiahui. You don't have to be polite to him. Moreover, I know people like Liu Jiahui too well. He is a car parked on a slope, pulling the handbrake at all times. This handbrake cannot be relaxed for a moment, and it must be checked every few days. If there is any sign of relaxation, it must be pulled tight. Otherwise, as long as you give him a little opportunity, he will definitely slide backwards."

Chen Zhaozhong laughed: "I just feel... I just feel he has done enough..."

Ye Chen said firmly: "Uncle Zhong, I will arrange this matter, you don't have to worry about it."

Seeing this, Chen Zhaozhong could only say: "Then I will listen to the Young Master."

Ye Chen said: "I am still in Yan Jing, and I will set off to return to Jin Ling later. There are still some things to handle in Jin Ling. I expect to take off from Jin Ling to New York tonight. Uncle Zhong, don't be in a hurry. Pack your things and settle your home, and take a flight to Jin Ling in the evening. We will meet at the airport."

"Okay, Young Master!" Chen Zhaozhong said crisply: "See you in the evening."

After making an appointment with Chen Zhaozhong, Ye Chen called Liu Jiahui directly.

On the phone, Ye Chen asked him to arrange a private jet to send Chen Zhaozhong to Jin Ling at nine o'clock tonight, and also asked him to arrange a motorcade to send Chen Zhaozhong from his home to the airport.

Although Liu Jiahui was unhappy, he didn't dare to refute at all, and could only accompany him with a smile and agree.

Afterwards, Ye Chen took Lin Wan'er and said goodbye to Old Master Ye Zhongquan.

On the plane, Lin Wan'er asked Ye Chen: "Young Master, you are going to New York tonight, so you can only stay in Jin Ling for more than ten hours. I wonder if it's a bit hasty?"

Ye Chen shook his head and said: "There is not much to handle in Jin Ling. The main thing is to see my maternal grandparents' family, tell them about the situation these days, see if they can think of any useful information, and then say hello to my father-in-law and mother-in-law before I can set off."

Lin Wan'er nodded and said softly: "I almost forgot, your wife is also in the United States, Young Master."

"Yes," Ye Chen nodded: "Before Earl Changsheng came, I asked Miss Fei of the Fei family to invite her to the United States to help. She is also in New York now."

As he spoke, Ye Chen added: "However, this time I go to New York, I don't plan to tell her for the time being."

Lin Wan'er asked curiously: "Why don't you plan to tell her, Young Master? Isn't it good for husband and wife to reunite?"

Ye Chen said: "This time I go to the United States, besides checking on Peter Zhou, I also want to re-organize the clues about my parents obtaining the 'Nine Mysteries Sutra Preface'. I don't know if the Qing Clearing Society knows about the 'Nine Mysteries Sutra Preface'. If they know, I don't know how much they know. So this trip to the United States is still a bit sensitive and dangerous, so I won't see her for now to avoid extra trouble."

Lin Wan'er nodded understandingly and said: "Looking at it now, the clues in New York are indeed intricate. Coupled with the fact that your maternal grandparents' family just had an incident and all the An family members are not in the United States, leaving only your brother-in-law in New York, I think the Qing Clearing Society must have left many eyes and ears in New York. You must be extra careful on this trip, Young Master."

Ye Chen smacked his lips and said: "My brother-in-law is also a big trouble in the future."

"Yes," Lin Wan'er agreed: "I think he and your grandmother's family now have a feeling of tacit understanding, but at the same time, they are helpless against each other. He dare not come to China, and your grandmother's family cannot go to the United States to confront him."

"Yes," Ye Chen nodded: "This person is a stumbling block for the An family in New York. With him there, the An family cannot return to New York. Although it is difficult for him to get the An family's property, the An family is not in the United States and has not torn their faces with him, so their own business and group affairs will inevitably be greatly affected in the short term."

After speaking, Ye Chen added: "This person cannot be killed, and cannot be left alone. If you kill him, the Qing Clearing Society will definitely be prepared and even heavily protected; if you don't kill him, he will definitely be a serious threat in the future."

Lin Wan'er asked Ye Chen: "When do you plan to let the An family reappear in the public eye, Young Master?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said: "If the Qing Clearing Society is not eliminated, the An family cannot return to New York. Even if they can return, I am not at ease. So it is better for the An family not to show up for the time being."

Lin Wan'er said: "I have an idea, I don't know if you want to hear it, Young Master?"

Ye Chen hurriedly said: "Please speak, Miss Lin."

Lin Wan'er said: "The An family's economic strength is world-famous, and they are a Chinese family. I think you can ask Old Sun to help pull strings in Yan Jing, let the An family cooperate directly with the Chinese official, let the An family appear in China as an important foreign investment attracted by China, appear publicly in China and make some strategic investments in China. With the official endorsement, even if Wu Feiyan is arrogant, she would definitely not dare to take action against the An family within China."

Ye Chen was pleasantly surprised and exclaimed: "That's a good idea! Even if Wu Feiyan is arrogant, she would not dare to openly oppose the country! In front of the state machine, the Qing Clearing Society is just a clown and cannot make any waves."

Lin Wan'er nodded and added: "It's just that in this way, your maternal grandparents' family, Young Master, will probably find it difficult to leave China. Once they leave China, they may be retaliated against by Wu Feiyan."

Ye Chen said: "It doesn't matter. In the short term, let them take root in China. Before the Qing Clearing Society is resolved, they can first transfer their business and core management team to China, at least to ensure the normal operation of the An family!"

After speaking, Ye Chen looked at Lin Wan'er and thanked her: "This idea is very good, thank you, Miss Lin!"
