Chapter 261 "Resurrection"

"Thinking back then, the Patriarch and Ah Hui were truly in love, but those old guys couldn't stand it and insisted on using her background to force her out. Wasn't their goal to seize power and completely take over the Chen family?"

"Oh."

At this point, Chen Jiu sneered coldly.

"But now they see that without the head of the family, the Chen family no longer has any of its former glory. It is just a hollow shell with a golden exterior and rotten cotton inside!"

It was also from the old man in front of them that Jiang Wanning and Xie Yanchuan finally learned some details and the truth about the past of Chen Haishu and Chen Canghui.

And the incident when these families joined forces to encircle and suppress the Yang family.

"It is true, but it happened even earlier in the Chen family's history. It is a secret, and I'm afraid only the previous family heads know the details."

Seeing Jiang Wanning mention this, Chen Jiu shook his head helplessly.

"After the patriarch left, he actually left two secret lines in the Chen family, one inside and one outside. The one I'm in charge of is specifically responsible for connecting with external intelligence."

"The other insider is called Chen Si. He probably knows more about these family matters than I do."

"However, ever since the Patriarch left the Chen family, that old fellow has become like me, no longer interfering in the various disputes within the family. Now, no one knows where he has gone to live in seclusion, so it may be difficult to find him."

The thread of the story seems to be interrupted again here.

Seeing this, Jiang Wanning exchanged glances with Xie Yanchuan again.

Fortunately, they are not particularly anxious to know the truth about the grievances of the older generation. There is another more important matter in front of them that is waiting for them to find out.

Jiang Wanning thought for a moment and then spoke again, "Mr. Chen, we came here today because someone wants to confirm something with you."

"Miss Jiang, please feel free to speak up. I will definitely tell you everything I know."

After receiving the old man's affirmative answer, Jiang Wanning took out the backup photo that she had prepared long ago from her bag and handed it to Chen Jiu.

While doing this, Jiang Wanning also stretched out her hand and gently pointed out the feminine-looking young man in the photo.

She had learned from a private detective before that the man looked like he was from the Shen family but had the Chen family tattoo.

"Does this person look familiar to you?"

The moment he saw this person, a bright light suddenly appeared in Chen Jiu's turbid and old eyes.

"More than just familiar, he and I are incredibly familiar with each other!"

The moment Jiang Wanning heard this answer, her face lit up with joy.

She looked at Xie Yanchuan again, as if this time, they were really closest to the truth.

But at this moment, outside the courtyard, there was a sudden and hurried knock on the tightly closed door of the living room.

"Sir, a customer who made an appointment with you to see the jade tonight has arrived and has been waiting outside for some time."

Judging from the voice, it was the young clerk who had previously replaced Chen Jiu to watch the store outside.

Chen Jiu was about to explain to Jiang Wanning when his words came to an abrupt end.

The old man knew his employee very well. Since he came to him when he knew he was going to meet a guest, it must be that the guest who had made an appointment was really difficult to deal with and asked to see him. The latter had no way to get around it, so he came to him.

His antique shop is well-known and has been in business for many years. Unless it is absolutely necessary, Chen Jiu is unwilling to offend these difficult customers.

He pondered for a moment before speaking to Jiang Wanning again: "Ms. Jiang, I think you asked me about this man because you wanted to get to know him."

"Right now, I can't explain his identity to you clearly."

"How about this? In a few days, that is, this weekend, there will be an internal gathering at the Chen family. I'll leave you the address, and you can come and join us."

"How about I introduce you and this gentleman to each other?"

The employees of Moyu Pavilion were still waiting outside, and the light in Jiang Wanning's eyes flashed slightly at this moment.

"In that case... I'll trouble you, Mr. Chen."

…

After leaving these words, seeing Chen Jiu hurriedly leave, Jiang Wanning and Xie Yanchuan also stood up and said goodbye and left the courtyard.

"Not bad, at least with Mr. Chen's promise, our trip today is not in vain."

After leaving the courtyard, Jiang Wanning stretched.

At that time, a fine drizzle had already fallen outside the house. Xie Yanchuan followed Jiang Wanning and opened the umbrella again, but he remained silent.

Seeing the two of them passing through the alley and about to walk to their car, Jiang Wanning raised her eyes and glanced inadvertently at Xie Yanchuan behind her.

"Xie Yanchuan? Why haven't you spoken much today?"

Xie Yanchuan seemed to be lost in thought. After hearing her words, he raised his eyelids again, but his eyes suddenly darkened at that moment.

"careful!"

It was as if a wild cat was flying through the night, and its sharp claws almost scratched Jiang Wanning's delicate skin.

Xie Yanchuan pulled Jiang Wanning into his arms and lowered his voice, which became dangerous at this moment: "You all followed us all the way and hid hard enough. Now it's time to show yourself, right?"

The rain was falling, and at the moment Xie Yanchuan finished speaking, several burly men in black clothes walked out of the alley which had been quiet and peaceful just a moment ago.

At this moment, they were staring at him and Jiang Wanning with malicious eyes, with sinister smiles on their faces: "Haha, Xie Yanchuan, you are not dead after all."

"Long time no see, how are you?"
