Chapter 284 Conditions for exchanging information
Jiang Wanning spoke tentatively, almost holding her breath as she spoke.
Since Lin Huan had noticed the disappearance of Jiang Yue and Song Yao early on, judging from his current character, the other party must have launched an investigation during this period.
I just don’t know whether what he knows is different from the clues Jiang Wanning currently has.
It seems that her parents have been missing for almost half a year. Jiang Wanning is more eager to know their whereabouts than anyone else.
"You're lucky. I recently got a useful clue."
Hearing Lin Huan's words, Jiang Wanning instantly became excited again.
"That……"
But before she could finish her words, the man on the other end said again: "But I have a condition before I can tell you."
"What conditions?"
This time it was Xie Yanchuan who asked coldly.
At this moment, Lin Huan over there also turned his gaze back to him.
At this moment, some unknown dark emotions flashed across the middle-aged man's exceptionally beautiful eyes.
"Originally, this matter concerns the whereabouts of Xiao Wanning's parents. As an elder, I shouldn't do this."
"But just now, when I met Patriarch Xie, I suddenly changed my mind."
When Lin Huan said this, he didn't know what he remembered, and the originally gloomy mood around him suddenly subsided a lot.
But it was only for a moment, and he returned to normal.
Under the gaze of Jiang Wanning and the others, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket and paused on an old photo that had obviously been saved for a long time.
"I'm fortunate to have heard that the Xie family has a dark web network that has been specializing in various types of intelligence gathering over the years. Their strength is among the best in the country."
Lin Huan paused for a moment before speaking again: "So I want you to help me check someone."
While the man was speaking, he had already transferred the picture he had just opened on his phone to Jiang Wanning and the others to watch.
It would have been fine if I hadn't looked at it, but once I did, the expressions on their faces became strange in an instant.
The reason is simple: the people in this old photo are both known to each other and can be said to be very familiar with each other.
But what they didn't expect was that the person Lin Huan asked them to help find was actually him?!
Jiang Wanning met Xie Yanchuan's expression for a moment.
The latter was obviously silent for a while before hesitantly speaking: "Mr. Lin, may I ask you something? What is your relationship with him? Why are you looking for him?"
The man, who had been silent for almost the entire night, spoke at this moment.
The overly powerful aura surrounding him also became not to be underestimated at this moment.
Xie Yanchuan lowered his eyes, and his long and narrow eyelashes fell at the same time, making it difficult to tell what emotion he was feeling at the moment.
"certainly."
Lin Huan also spoke again at this time, but he didn't know what past he was recalling, and his expression flickered for a moment: "He is... the child of an old friend of mine."
"But that person passed away at a young age. I found him to repay my friend's memory."
“…”
After another period of silence, Jiang Wanning looked at Xie Yanchuan with some concern: "Xie Yanchuan, if you don't want to..."
You can reject Lin Huan’s request.
After all, she had just seen the person in the photo, and it seemed that Xie Yanchuan didn't want to have anything to do with this person anymore.
What's more, it is not known how true or false what Lin Huan said just now is. Whether it can be fully believed is another matter.
What if the two of them were actually deceived by each other?
But before she could finish her words, Xie Yanchuan said, "Okay, I promise you."
"Give me three days, Mr. Lin, and I will give you a satisfactory answer."
Lin Huan seemed to have not expected that Xie Yanchuan would agree so readily and in such a short time limit.
After all, Lin Huan had never given up searching for this person's whereabouts over the years, but to no avail, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
In fact, the intelligence gathering capabilities of his people were not much worse than that of the Xie family's "dark web". The reason why he proposed this condition at this time was not only to give himself another hope.
More importantly, Lin Huan didn't want Jiang Wanning and the others to be involved in this matter.
As for the disappearance of Jiang Yue and Song Yao, judging from the clues he currently knows, it is really complicated. If Jiang Wanning gets involved, the entire Jiang family may be implicated if he is not careful.
When that time comes, it won't be as simple as just finding two missing people.
But Lin Huan won’t talk about these things now.
He regarded Xie Yanchuan's words as just a boast made by a young man who was desperate to save face in front of the person he liked, so he smiled and shook his head: "Okay, then I will wait for your good news, Mr. Xie."
Xie Yanchuan remained silent. Their eyes collided in the air, and some unknown sparks flashed across their eyes.
Just as they finished chatting, Chen Jiu, who was outside the house, came back.
Lin Huan nodded at this moment, saying hello: "It seems that the party outside is almost over."
"In that case, I have other things to do here, so I'll leave first."
"Miss Wan Ning, and Master Xie, if you have anything you want to know about the Chen family, you can ask Chen Jiu. He is a living fossil in the Chen family."
As he said this, he didn't care at all that Chen Jiu was still present.
Fortunately, Chen Jiu himself was not angry. He just lowered his eyes, greeted the person politely, and watched the other person leave.
Obviously, Lin Huan's identity is not simple.
Otherwise, why would this old man, who even the head of the Chen family had to be courteous to, be so respectful to Lin Huan?
Jiang Wanning took in the entire scene, and only after the latter's figure left and completely disappeared from the box did she finally ask, "Mr. Chen, do you know what Mr. Lin's real name is?"
Chen Jiu seemed a little surprised that Jiang Wanning and the others had talked about such a deep topic with Lin Huan. A hint of surprise flashed across his face, but he quickly came to his senses and shook his head helplessly.
"Mr. Lin is an old friend of the Patriarch. I have called him by this name since I met him."
"Perhaps the master of the family should know Mr. Lin's real name, but I am just a servant, so it is not appropriate for me to ask too much about the masters' affairs."
What Chen Jiu said made sense. Jiang Wanning nodded in understanding and followed Xie Yanchuan out of the room.
At that time, in the banquet hall outside the Chen family, just as Lin Huan had just guessed, all the guests had dispersed.
The few of them walked through the hall, which was obviously much more desolate than before, and when they arrived in front of Xie Yanchuan's parked car, they nodded and said, "Mr. Chen, let's just drop him off here. It's getting late, you should go back quickly."
