"Warner Theodore was the previous leader of al-Qaeda, the world's largest terrorist organization?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan nodded. "Yes, it's him."

Ye Mohan wasn't surprised at all that Gong Yixue knew of his existence.

After all, that person's reputation was already infamous.

Gong Yixue frowned immediately and said, "If he is the culprit, how did he manage to escape unscathed, and how could no one have noticed anything unusual all these years? Not even the authorities could find a single clue?"

She knew of this person's existence.

Back when she was still a hitman, someone had placed an order on their platform to kill him, and the price was very tempting. However, they thought that someone like Warner Theodore was too crazy and that he would be difficult to sever ties with after the deed was done.

They found it too troublesome to get involved with such an organization, so they directly rejected the order.

Gong Yixue's doubts were also Ye Mohan's doubts.

Logically speaking, in a country like Z where citizens are prohibited from privately owning firearms and ammunition, someone like Warner Theodore should have trouble even getting in.

It's not something he could have accomplished by himself alone.

So if he did it, then he must have had accomplices.

So how could such a dangerous person move around the capital so easily?

Things seem to be getting more and more complicated.

Just then, Old Master Ye slowly spoke, "Xiao Han, there's something I haven't told you yet. Now that I think about it, it's time for you to know the whole truth."

Hearing this, Ye Mohan looked at the old man in confusion.

Gong Yixue and Ye Wenyao were the same.

Only the butler, who knew the inside story, sighed helplessly.

Old Master Ye looked at Ye Mohan and said, "Actually, when the plane crashed that year, your parents' bodies were never found. That day..."

On the night of the incident, Old Master Ye took Ye Mohan to the airline to wait for news.

There, Old Master Ye met with the airline's leader, who told him that the chances of his son and daughter-in-law surviving were not high.

The plane was not found that night; it was found three days later in the waters near Beijing.

The plane disintegrated naturally, leaving mostly fragments and debris.

No one survived the entire plane crash.

But that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is...

Old Master Ye said sadly, "Firefighters, police, military, and airlines all mobilized to conduct a thorough search of the surrounding area."

A month later, the search was declared over.

However, apart from your parents' belongings, no DNA belonging to them was found at the scene.

At the time, I didn't think much of it, assuming that the plane might have crashed and burned them to ashes.

So I used their belongings to build them a cenotaph, so that we, the living, could have a spiritual place to rest in.

As for the police, I also asked them to keep this matter confidential.

"Although I don't know if this will be helpful to your investigation, I still want to tell you any information that might be useful to you, so that you can investigate better."

So many years have passed, and regardless of the outcome, I still want the truth to come out so that your parents can leave with a clear conscience.

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan's brows furrowed instantly.

No wonder he checked the police case records and found little information about his parents; it turned out his grandfather had told him.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly."

Old Master Ye nodded.

Suddenly remembering something, he said, "So many years have passed since this happened, it doesn't matter if we wait a little longer. The most important thing now is your wedding with Xue Yatou."

Xue'er has been married to you for so many years, taking good care of you and bearing you children. You can't mistreat her anymore, or I, your grandfather, will be the first to object.

After listening, Ye Mohan nodded.

"I understand, Grandpa. I will definitely make sure my wedding with Xue'er is well organized."

After speaking, Ye Mohan looked at Gong Yixue with deep affection.

Just like Grandpa said, so many years have passed since our parents' incident, and there's no way to resolve it all at once.

Xue'er has been quietly by his side all these years and has given birth to two lovely little babies for him.

He owed her far too much.

He was determined to give her a grand wedding that would be unforgettable and envied by everyone.

Although he knew that this was not enough to express his love for Xue'er, his beloved must have what other women have.

He would never let his woman envy others.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Ye nodded with satisfaction.

At the same time, Gong Yixue also looked up at Ye Mohan, her eyes filled with deep affection.

Ye Wenyao: This display of affection caught him somewhat off guard.

He then silently looked away.

The old man and Butler Jin watched this scene with great satisfaction.

Finally, Ye Wenyao followed the old man back to the old house.

Although Ye Wenyao was not the real culprit who killed Ye Mohan's parents, he did have this idea.

It was naturally impossible for Ye Mohan to give him a kind look.

The old man understood everyone's difficulties and took him back to the old house, so everyone could feel more at ease.

...

On the way home.

Gong Yixue thought of something and looked at Ye Mohan, asking, "Mohan."

Ye Mohan softly replied, "Mm."

Gong Yixue said, "Is it possible that your parents are still alive? Like my mother, but for some reason they can't appear?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan frowned deeply.

He had also considered this possibility.

But he also knew that the possibility was extremely slim.

Ye Mohan shook his head and said, "There's no such thing as a perfect day, where everything happens so coincidentally that we all encounter it."

After listening, Gong Yixue thought about it and also felt that Ye Mohan was right.

Her mother was so lucky because of her father's deep affection and perseverance.

Most of it was indeed a coincidence, as Ye Mohan had described.

Gong Yixue nodded, then asked, "Warner Theodore was able to come and go freely in the capital back then. Was there a powerful figure in the capital behind him?"

Or perhaps there's a secret about my in-laws that my grandfather and the rest of the world don't know?

Upon hearing this, Ye Mohan, who was driving, frowned and said in a deep voice, "We can't rule out either of these possibilities. We'll have to wait for the investigation results to find out the specifics."

What he couldn't understand was how his parents, if they were just ordinary businessmen, could have attracted the attention of a world-class terrorist like Warner Theodore.

But if the parents aren't just ordinary businessmen, what secrets do they hold that would attract Warner Theodore's attention?

Gong Yixue nodded in agreement.
