"Immediately investigate all people with the surname Li in the capital, aged 50 and above, both men and women. Then, investigate those who have been abroad or had contact with foreigners, and also investigate those on the death list."
"Also, you personally investigate the Warrens family. I need to know whether the current patriarch has an Eastern or Western appearance!"
Shirakawa was taken aback: "Sir, you mean..."
Even the intelligent Bai Chuan couldn't understand what Gu Yibei meant by suddenly giving these instructions.
Gu Yibei curled his lips into a wicked smile.
He tossed the things he was holding onto the table, leaned back in his chair, and crossed his legs.
"The Warrens family is an ancient Western aristocratic family, with uniform Western white features. However, according to Grandpa's description of Nan Nan, Nan Nan's father has an Asian face, and Nan Nan also has an Asian face. In other words, on Nan Nan's father's side, decades ago, a young master or young lady of the Warrens family married an Asian."
Asians all have East Asian faces.
Ji Zhinan's face was stunningly beautiful, so beautiful that it was hard to believe it was all-natural. Because it was so perfect, like a work of art carefully sculpted by God, so perfect that it was impossible to find fault with it.
She has double eyelids, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and cherry lips. More importantly, her features are very three-dimensional, giving her a sophisticated beauty.
If her father was of mixed race, Nan Nan would be considered to have inherited Western three-dimensional facial features, but she did not abandon the black eyes and black hair that are typical of Easterners.
This also explains why Ji Zhinan is so beautiful.
"Young Master Warrens chose to come to Beijing back then, most likely because it was his father's or mother's hometown."
There are many countries in Asia, but Gu Yibei ruled out other countries and decided to investigate China first.
"Furthermore, he is the young master of Warrens, but when he met Nan Nan's mother, he chose to use the alias Li Yuan. When people choose an alias, they usually leave a word that is very important to them in their name."
In other words, either Li or Yuan is very important to Li Yuan.
Gu Yibei wasn't sure if it was the character "Li," but there were countless people with "Yuan" in their names, making the search like finding a needle in a haystack. Although he didn't know if they were looking in the right direction, he could only start by searching with the surname "Li."
Gu Yibei calmly and logically explained it to Bai Chuan, who was initially confused, and immediately understood everything after listening.
Indeed, only the intelligent Mr. Gu could have thought of so many things.
However, there was still one thing that Shirakawa couldn't understand.
"Sir, I understand that you want me to investigate people with the surname Li, but... why do you want me to confirm whether the current Warrens patriarch has an Eastern appearance?"
Gu Yibei picked up his phone from the table, glanced at the time, then stood up and calmly spoke while straightening his clothes.
"The Warrens family has always found it difficult to accept people of skin other than white. Li Yuan has Asian ancestry but is a Warrens, which is extremely rare in the Warrens family."
Therefore, if the current patriarch of Warrens has a Western appearance, then Li Yuan may have really died in the civil war back then; but if he has an Eastern appearance, then Li Yuan... may be the current patriarch of Warrens.
Bai Chuan looked at Gu Yibei: "The Warrens family is too mysterious. The current patriarch has already destroyed almost everything from twenty years ago. He has never made a public appearance all these years, and no one knows what he looks like. It will be quite difficult to investigate him."
