Chapter 251 People in the Photo
About the same time.
On the corridor outside the living room of the Xie family's old house.
Unlike the tense atmosphere in the living room of the old house, Jiang Wanning and Mr. Xie were in a quiet and peaceful mood at this moment.
Old Master Xie dismissed the servants who were around to take care of him and let Jiang Wanning push his wheelchair towards the resting place.
The two chatted casually, and compared to the group of people from the Xie family, they looked more like a close grandfather and grandson.
"hehe."
Mr. Xie, with his gray beard and eyebrows, has been smiling non-stop since he left the living room in the front yard.
If the Xie family members in the living room, or those who were familiar with him, saw this scene, they would probably be shocked.
"Wan Ning girl, now I know why that boy Yan Chuan must be with you."
"Now even an old man like me has some expectations. I wish you were my real granddaughter."
"Grandpa, when I marry Yan Chuan, won't I be your granddaughter?"
"That's true."
The old man smiled with his eyes curved. "I just hope that your day will come soon. Otherwise, I, an old man, don't know if I can wait until then."
"That's quite right, old man. May you live a long life. Don't say such unlucky words again."
The two chatted casually and soon reached the end of the corridor.
At this moment, a pair of bony hands took the wheelchair from Jiang Wanning: "Let me do it."
The low and pleasant voice, like an organ after rain, made Jiang Wanning subconsciously look up.
Just then, Xie Yanchuan, dressed in black, sunglasses and a mask, appeared in his sight.
Jiang Wanning looked around nervously at first, and after hearing Mr. Xie say, "Don't worry, I've already asked reliable people to clear the area here," she looked Xie Yanchuan up and down again.
She had never seen Xie Yanchuan dressed like this.
As the weather in China was getting warmer in May, Xie Yanchuan wore a black long-sleeved sweatshirt and jeans. It didn't show off his perfect figure, but it added a bit of youthfulness that a man of his age should have.
While diluting his usual overly terrifying aura, at first glance, he even looks like a pure and innocent boy.
"Xie Yanchuan, who prepared this outfit for you?"
But after a moment of silence, Jiang Wanning smacked her lips in surprise: "Wearing all black in broad daylight will only attract more attention."
Especially when paired with Xie Yanchuan's face.
Thanks to Mr. Xie's foresight, he sent the servants away in advance.
Otherwise, if he appeared like this, he might just be pretending to be lonely.
Xie Yanchuan: “…”
Jiang Wanning did not play by the rules at all, causing Xie Yanchuan, who had not seen her for many days and was about to exchange a few words with her, to fall into silence.
Seeing this, Mr. Xie standing by laughed so hard that he couldn't even straighten his back.
After all, his great-grandson is usually very powerful.
Jiang Wanning is probably the first person who can make him look so deflated.
Not to mention Xie Kaiwen and his group, even this old man saw it for the first time in his life and found it really strange.
"Ningning..."
Xie Yanchuan was also helpless at this time, and his eyes happened to fall on Mr. Xie again. The old man, who had been serious all his life, finally got back to the point at this time.
"cough."
The old man coughed lightly and said, "Yanchuan, how has your investigation into the second and third brothers been going during this period?"
The second and third brothers mentioned by Mr. Xie are Xie Yanchuan’s second aunt and third aunt.
The two of them are from the same family, both born to Mr. Xie's cousins, so their relationship is usually closer than that of other brothers and sisters.
As for Xie Yanchuan and the others, they had been paying extra attention to the two of them since the last family dinner, when they heard that the two of them were planning to pay Jiang Wanning's betrothal gift.
Now that he mentioned the other person, Xie Yanchuan's eyes behind his sunglasses became cold again.
"It's almost done. They are... even more greedy than I thought."
"I asked Wen Shihua to help out, and they found out that the explosion at the Xingguo Hotel last time was indeed related to them."
"I've also obtained some evidence that they betrayed the Xie family. I'm just waiting for May Day to force them to reveal their true colors."
As they were talking, a loud noise was heard from the living room not far behind them.
"hehe."
Mr. Xie even stroked his beard at this moment, a terrifying glint flashing in his old eyes: "Perhaps some people will be unable to contain themselves even before that day."
After that, he waved his hand again: "But this is all for you young people. I, an old man, have limited energy, so I won't get involved from now on."
"I'm tired, Yanchuan, please take me back to my room to rest."
Mr. Xie's health was indeed getting worse day by day. After just a short while, the old man could hardly open his eyes.
Jiang Wanning and Xie Yanchuan couldn't help but look at each other, with some unclear emotions flashing in their eyes.
After the two of them sent the old man back to the room and resettled him, Jiang Wanning hesitated for a moment, and then told Xie Yanchuan everything about what happened when she met the detective that day.
"After Grandma Cang Hui passed away, I felt really strange and found that strange photo in the study in my attic."
As Jiang Wanning spoke, she took out her cell phone and found a photo she had taken as a backup in the attic. She pointed out to Xie Yanchuan the man with the blue tattoo in the photo.
"Since you and my brother returned home early, I hired a private investigator to see if I could find any useful clues."
"What a coincidence! This detective actually has some connection with this guy."
"But the detective would not say a word more than what he would tell me about this man's identity and origins."
"It's very strange." Jiang Wanning paused: "He is from the Shen family in Shenzhen."
Hearing this, Xie Yanchuan's eyes narrowed.
After all, based on their previous understanding, the person with such a green tree-shaped tattoo should be from the Chen family, so why did the Shen family appear now?
Meeting his gaze, Jiang Wanning took out the jade seal that Mr. Xie had previously given her from her bag.
The corners of his lips pursed for a moment: "It seems that the clue that Mr. Chen left us is still very important."
"I will make an appointment with the person in charge as soon as possible within the next few days."
"Okay." Xie Yanchuan also nodded and agreed: "I will go with you then."
