    Chinatown.


    When Charlie and Stefanie Sun arrived at Arman’s Roast Goose Shop, they found Arman busy tidying up with another staff member.


    It was already past noon, and the restaurant was empty. Stefanie, not worried about being recognized, simply donned a mask and entered the restaurant alongside Charlie.


    As soon as they stepped inside, the door sensor chimed to announce their arrival. The busy worker, not looking up, said, “Sorry, we’re closed for lunch.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie grinned and replied, “No worries. Just whip us up something to eat; we haven’t had a meal yet.”


    Upon hearing Charlie’s voice, Arman turned around and, seeing both him and Stefanie, couldn’t help but smile broadly. “Why haven’t you two eaten yet?” he asked with delight.


    Stefanie wrapped her arm around Charlie’s and said sweetly, “Hello, Uncle Arman!”


    Charlie added, “Uncle Arman, we took a stroll at Fei’s house earlier, but ended up not getting any food.”


    Stefanie yfullyined, “You were the one who insisted on letting the Fei family drink, but they only drank and didn’t eat anything. I was really in the mood for a meal!”


    Arman chuckled and said, “Oh, it sounds like there’s quite a story behind this. Quickly, take a seat downstairs, and I’ll prepare something for you two. We can catch upter.”


    Charlie nodded, smiling as he said, “Uncle Arman, we’ll head upstairs while you get things ready.”


    Stefanie chimed in, “Uncle Arman, I’d like to have two roast pigeons, please!”


    Arman replied with a grin, “Alright, you two go on up. I’ll start preparing now.”


    As Charlie and Stefanie climbed the stairs, they suddenly heard another chime at the door. A familiar voice called out, “Boss, it’s you two.”


    Charlie instinctively stopped and crouched down slightly, peering through the stair railing to see who had entered.


    It was his uncle, Asher, speaking, and beside him stood the renowned detective, Li Yalin.


    However, today Li Yalin appeared quite different from thest time Charlie met him; he sported a scruffy beard and looked rather unkempt.<fnc1f2> This content belongs to find{n}ovel</fnc1f2>


    Noticing this, Charlie quickly pulled Stefanie along, and they hastened upstairs.


    Stefanie, recognizing Li Yalin, was puzzled by Charlie’s apparent desire to avoid him. She lowered her voice and asked, “Charlie, do you have any leads that could be detected by Li Tan? Are you in trouble?”


    Charlie waved his hand dismissively, saying, “I’m not avoiding him; I’m avoiding the person next to him.”


    Stefanie quickly inquired, “Who is that person?”


    Charlie shrugged nonchntly and replied, “That’s my uncle.”


    “Oh?!” Stefanie eximed in surprise. “Is that really your uncle? Shouldn’t we go say hello?”


    Charlie shook his head. “He doesn’t know about my situation, so it’s better if we don’t.”


    Stefanie looked confused. “But… my dad said your grandfather’s family is eager to find you. Wouldn’t it be nice to reunite?”


    Charlie sighed softly. “Let’s just forget about it.”


    Meanwhile, upon seeing Asher, Arman couldn’t help but express his surprise, saying, “Sir, it’s been a while since you’ve been here.”


    He then nced at Li Yalin, momentarily stunned, before eximing, “This… this must be the famous detective, Li Yalin, right?”


    Arman felt a twinge of nervousness; he recalled the night Fei Jamura disappeared, when he had met Li Yalin at the Wangfu Hotel.


    Back then, Arman had been dressed sharply in a suit and tie, looking quite different from his current appearance as an ordinary restaurant owner in an apron. To deflect any recognition, he hoped to guide Li Yalin into thinking they were meeting for the first time, treating it as an offense rather than a defensive encounter.
