Chapter 258 Contact
As he spoke, Jiang Wenzhou also picked up the pen he had just used for work on the table. After spinning it around with his fingertips, he casually wrote a few names on the paper and handed it to Jiang Wanning.
"You and Qingyan should pay more attention to these people above."
"If there are any special circumstances, remember to contact me as soon as possible."
After Jiang Wanning took the list from Jiang Wenzhou, she quickly glanced over it.
Among the few names, most of them were high-level figures who left a deep impression on her, but one of them made her feel a little unfamiliar.
"This person is..."
Jiang Wenzhou glanced at her inexplicably and said, "This is the new assistant who recently joined your office."
After he finished speaking, he tapped the table lightly with his slender knuckles: "This person needs your extra attention."
"If the information I have is correct, she is an international student from Singapore."
"...born from the Puying Welfare Home."
Puying Welfare Home is the place where the Ai brothers and sisters used to stay together.
When Jiang Wanning suddenly heard the name Puying Welfare Home again, her hand that had taken the list suddenly stopped, and her eyes turned as cold as Jiang Wenzhou's at this moment.
"I understand. Don't worry, I'll keep an eye on her."
…
Afterwards, Jiang Wenzhou communicated with Jiang Wanning about some matters in the company in the near future that she needed to pay attention to. Jiang Wanning then inadvertently mentioned to him the matter of the jade seal left by Chen Haishu.
"The Xie family has been in turmoil lately. Xie Yanchuan and I have made an appointment. After he finishes his work in the next two days, we will go to the address that Old Chen left behind and take a look around."
Jiang Wenzhou was silent for a moment, then pondered, "The four major families in Beijing..."
"The Chen family does have the longest history among the other families, but over the years, they have indeed become much more low-key compared to their former glory."
"Mr. Chen probably hasn't been back to China for a while, so he's not very familiar with the current state of the Chen family. Aside from some political matters, they rarely have any contact in the business world. I've also accidentally interacted with some of the younger generations of their family, and I can barely see that the old guard behind them are not easy to deal with."
After Jiang Wenzhou roughly analyzed the interests involved, he finally looked at Jiang Wanning seriously.
"But if we really follow the trajectory that Elder Chen described, then it's possible that they were responsible for our parents' disappearance and their whereabouts to this day."
It is for this reason that even though several people on this trip knew that it might be dangerous, they had to move forward.
At this moment, a hint of worry appeared in Jiang Wenzhou's eyes, which were always strategizing and nonchalant.
"In short, you and Xie Yanchuan must be very careful on this trip and ensure safety first. I will send Shadow to continue to follow you in the dark to protect you."
"I understand, brother. Don't worry."
…
After Jiang Wanning and Jiang Wenzhou said goodbye, time quickly came to the time that Chen Haishu had left in the letter of introduction for Jiang Wanning and the others to meet with the contact person.
As night fell, Jiang Wanning and Xie Yanchuan looked at each other and slowly parked the car on the side of an alley on the side of a street in the old city of Beijing.
It was late spring, and the rain outside the car formed a dense net under the dim street lights, shrouding the entire street in a hazy atmosphere.
At this time, Xie Yanchuan held up a black umbrella and walked up from behind Jiang Wanning, tilting the umbrella handle more to block the rain that was about to fall on Jiang Wanning's side.
At the same time, the wind blew up a corner of his black windbreaker: "Are you sure it's here?"
Jiang Wanning took out the intricately patterned jade seal from her pocket and rubbed it in her palm.
"Yes, it's the location mentioned in Mr. Chen's letter."
"Moyu Pavilion, every Wednesday night at 8 o'clock, bring the seal to enter." Jiang Wanning's voice was very soft: "There will be no mistake."
Hearing the voice, Xie Yanchuan lowered his eyes and glanced at his watch.
The hands on my wrist just moved to 7:50 at this moment, and there were only ten minutes left until the agreed time of 8 o'clock.
He looked around. The old street was almost empty on the rainy night, with only a few shops still having their lights on.
"I had someone investigate before coming here. This shop mainly deals in jade and antiques. It has been open for nearly twenty years. It is a well-known living sign in this old alley in Beijing."
"The owner's surname is indeed Chen, and he is 65 years old this year. He should be the contact mentioned in Mr. Chen's letter."
Xie Yanchuan lowered his voice and paused: "But since this concerns the Chen family, the old man's words cannot be truly trusted."
"The secrets here are too complicated. Remember tonight, be careful in everything you do."
Jiang Wanning listened to Xie Yanchuan chattering and giving her instructions.
For a moment, I felt dazed, as if I was back to the time when I first met Xie Yanchuan.
Although the other party did not talk as much as they do now, he still had the attitude of an old-fashioned "old cadre".
It was a rare opportunity to reminisce about the past, and Jiang Wanning couldn't help but chuckle for a moment when she saw Xie Yanchuan's somewhat surprised expression.
"I know, don't worry."
It really can't be blamed on Xie Yanchuan for nagging about this matter. After all, Jiang Wanning has too many "criminal records".
However, after seeing Jiang Wanning's expression, he didn't say anything more, but just followed her closely and narrowed the distance between them.
At the same time, Xie Yanchuan also secretly made up his mind that tonight, no matter what happened, he must ensure that Jiang Wanning's safety is the first priority.
As he was thinking this, the hands of the watch on Xie Yanchuan's wrist reached 7:58.
At this moment, the "Moyu Pavilion" opposite the two of them suddenly lit up its warm yellow sign. In the sparsely populated alley on this rainy night, it seemed particularly bright and eye-catching.
At this moment, Jiang Wanning's fingers unconsciously touched the jade seal left by Old Chen again.
Finally, he took a deep breath, walked forward, and pushed open the tightly closed glass door of "Moyu Pavilion".
At exactly eight o'clock, Xie Yanchuan put away his umbrella and followed Jiang Wanning into the store.
The doorbell rang in front of the two of them, and the store was filled with the unique smell of old ink and old paper.
The four walls are covered with calligraphy and paintings, and the glass counters display various study treasures and antiques.
A white-haired old man was sitting behind the counter, wearing reading glasses and carefully flipping through an ancient book.
When he saw them come in, he just raised his eyes slightly from the book, his expression showing no surprise: "Here they are."
"Just take a look, young man. If there's anything you like, you can ask me to get it for you."
