Charlie nodded and remarked, “They witnessed what happened that night, and they realized you were taken due to my arrangement. However, they should not have assumed you would survive. When you meet them, tell them a mysterious figure rescued you after giving you an elixir, and that they instructed Miss Fei to arrange your meeting with them. As for the identity of the mysterious figure, you don’t know who they are. They will certainly save the person who saved you, and everything will be connected. The rest, let them specte on their own.”


    “Understood, Young Master Wade!” Li Yalin replied earnestly. “I’ve made a note of that.”


    Charlie then opened the door, called in Fei Kexin, and said, “Miss Fei, please arrange for a helicopter to take Inspector Li to the Anbang Building in Manhattan. It would be best to contact my uncle beforehand and let him know that you have something to discuss. When I rescued them that day, you were present to manage the aftermath at the scene, so they shouldn’t be overly suspicious of you.”


    Fei Kexin responded respectfully, “Of course, Mr. Wade. I’ll reach out to the An family right away and inform them.”


    …<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Meanwhile, at the Ampang Tower in Manhattan, the An family was gathered to review and discuss the current situation.


    Mr. An’s Alzheimer’s symptoms had been worsening, so every morning, the olddy and several of their children needed to exin the recent events to him at length.


    Fortunately, despitecking direct memories of that day’s events, the old man was able to grasp the situation after listening to his children’s exnations.


    The An family had stayed in New York since the incident. While they had started to resume their family affairs, the old man had decided it was best for everyone to remain inside the Anbang Building for the time being, prioritizing their safety.


    Charlie’s uncle, Olin, had been eager to investigate his wife’s family, struggling to ept that his long-time partner, whom he had known for nearly 20 years, was actually a hidden killer. He feltpelled to dig deeper into this troubling revtion.


    However, the An family’s subordinates quickly reported that everyone from the Dong family had vanished overnight, as if they had simply evaporated from existence.


    Hom had ordered his men to investigate the Dong family’s assets. After several days of inquiries, they finally uncovered some crucial information.


    Hom then reported back to his family: “The investigation revealed that the Dong family managed to liquidate all their enterprises, equity, creditor rights, and real estate before the incident. Some assets were sold, others mortgaged; in essence, they did everything possible to convert their assets into cash.”<fn987e> This text is hosted at Find[?]ovel</fn987e>


    Olin quickly interjected, “But if they are missing, they must have taken the money with them, right? We should be able to track down some clues by following the money trail.”


    Hom shook his head seriously and replied, “The troubling part is that the Dong family liquidated assets worth over seven billion dors, yet they didn’t take a single penny with them.”


    “What?” Asher eximed in disbelief. “They didn’t take any money? What happened to it?”


    Hom exined, “Before the incident, they established a family trust but didn’t immediately transfer any funds into it. Instead, after our incident, they ced all their assets into the trust and then disappeared.”


    He added, “It seems they made this move after realizing their mission had failed.”


    “Damn it!” Asher fumed. “These people are incredibly audacious! They didn’t take the money but directly put it into a family trust. This is clearly a message that they n to return!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
