Chapter 256 His Past
Ye Che's face was as gloomy as the dark clouds before a storm.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, the owner of the machine turned out to be Long Yanhua. We suspected him before, but we never found any solid evidence. I didn't expect that this 'house thief' was really him. I finally caught you."
At the same time, Niu Guang also confessed the fact that his cousin was Long Yanhua.
Ye Bai's eyes became firm. He looked at Han Jianye and said seriously, "I'm going back. We have been investigating this case relentlessly, starting from the very beginning with tiny clues, unraveling the mystery bit by bit. Although we have hit a dead end many times and almost given up due to insufficient evidence and inability to find the person, fate always favors those who work hard. Unexpectedly, a coincidence broke the secret that had been sealed for 17 years, allowing us to follow the clues and find the mastermind behind the scenes. Now, it's up to my brother and I to face this matter together, questioning him why he did this, bringing him to justice, and putting a perfect end to this case."
Han Jianye gently placed his right hand on Ye Bai's shoulder, his eyes full of encouragement: "I will accompany you to send Niu Guang back to Qiyang City."
Ye Bai nodded and responded with a smile: "Okay."
Before Ye Bai arrived home, he asked Ye Che to invite his sister-in-law Ye Can and brother-in-law Long Yanhua to the family dinner on the pretext of a family banquet.
In the car, Han Jianye asked Ye Bai curiously: "Who is your uncle?"
Ye Bai sighed helplessly and said, "Before my aunt got married, she was the advertising director of our company and had outstanding abilities. Long Yanhua was two years younger than my aunt. At that time, she applied to be her assistant and her family conditions were very ordinary. In fact, before my aunt got together with him, my grandfather had already planned to arrange a marriage for her, but my aunt was spoiled by my grandmother and always did things her own way. She didn't listen to the arrangements at all. She got together with Long Yanhua in private and got pregnant with his child."
At this point, Ye Bai couldn't help but sigh, "My grandfather is a very traditional person who loves face. He has always been steady and law-abiding. If my aunt's affairs were exposed by someone with ulterior motives, it would not only be our family that would be embarrassed, but the company's stocks would also be seriously affected. And at that time, my aunt was completely fascinated by Long Yanhua, and she had to be with him..."
Han Jianye listened very carefully and asked, "A rich girl fell in love with a poor boy, so what happened next?"
Ye Bai continued to recall, "There was no other way. No matter how angry Grandpa was and how much he disliked Long Yanhua and thought he had ulterior motives, his daughter was his biological daughter after all. So, the most direct way was to elevate Long Yanhua's status. He announced to the public that he was my aunt's classmate when she was studying abroad, and that he was a returned graduate student. He also gave his family a house and a car privately. This operation raised his status and position, and that was how he stopped the gossip."
Han Jianye raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this, and said thoughtfully: "So, Long Yanhua relied on your aunt's shortcut to go from being a poor boy with nothing to living a life of luxury overnight."
Ye Bai nodded: "Yes. What I know is that Long Yanhua obeys my aunt's orders and tolerates her bad temper almost unconditionally. He also completes the tasks assigned by grandpa very well. This is why grandpa gradually eliminates his dissatisfaction and prejudice against him."
However, after listening to it, Han Jianye always felt that things were not that simple.
He frowned, his eyes sank slightly, staring into Ye Bai's piercing eyes, and said hesitantly: "Ye Bai, there is something I really don't know whether I should say..."
