The An family was well aware that the old man was genuinely curious about the identity of his formidable benefactor.


    However, given the old man’s request, they felt it necessary to suppress any feelings of arrogance.


    Asher took the initiative and reassured him, saying, “Dad, don’t worry; we will honor your request and ensure we never cross the red line.”


    Hom nodded in agreement, adding, “Dad, Asher is absolutely right. We will make sure not to step over the red line, not even a little.”


    Meanwhile, Li Yalin, who was standing nearby, felt a twinge of disappointment.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He had promised Charlie to keep his identity a secret.


    Yet, deep down, he fervently wished that the An family would recognize Charlie sooner rather thanter.


    Earlier, he had brought up Huichundan while speaking to Asher, hoping to nudge him into piecing together the clues that would lead them to Charlie.


    However, he was cautious not to be too overt about it. He had made a promise to Charlie, and there was an unspoken agreement in ce. Plus, with Fei Kexin present, he knew that being too obvious would raise her suspicions.


    Li Yalin had been associated with the An family for many years and understood all too well their desperation to locate Charlie over the past two decades.


    In those twenty years, they had poured immense resources—both human and material—into the search for him.


    Unfortunately, such pursuits often require a stroke of luck.


    Even though the An family was determined to upend the world in their quest, they never suspected that Charlie had always been close to home, right in the midst of the events they were investigating.


    At one point, they even spected that Charlie had been abducted by a shadowy organization.


    Yet, they continued to hold onto hope, praying for a miracle that would lead them to him anywhere in the world.


    Little did they know, Charlie was already among them.


    In fact, he had been the one to save the entire An family through his own efforts!


    Li Yalin couldn’t help but reflect: “If the old man and the olddy knew that the grandson they had longed for was not only alive but also the savior they spoke of, they would be overjoyed. It’s something they probably never dared to dream of…”


    “But… why did the old man suddenly order a halt to the investigation? Asher was involved in the Huichun Dan auction in Aurous Hill, which suggests that Charlie must have a significant connection to that ce. He may even be residing there. If we focus on the key term ‘Aurous Hill’ and examine the leads involving Stefanie Sun and Fei Kexin, we could potentially uncover more clues. By organizing these connections and drawing red lines to link the relevant information, we should be able to uncover Charlie’s core clues soon. Following these leads would ultimately reveal that Charlie is Bruce’s son. It’s just a matter of time…”


    As he considered this, Li Yalin felt a surge of frustration: “But even if all roads lead to Rome, one still has to make the journey themselves! If you don’t venture forth, Rome won’te to you. It’s maddening…”


    The perceptive olddy noticed Li Yalin’s silence and the troubled look on his face. Concerned, she asked, “What’s troubling you, Yalin? Are you feeling unwell?”<fn56b7> Get full chapters from ?ovelFind</fn56b7>


    Snapping back to reality, Li Yalin quickly waved his hands, “No, Auntie, I’m perfectly fine! I used to have a few upational ailments, like back pain and neck difort, but those aren’t bothering me anymore…”


    The olddy pressed on, “I noticed you seemed a bit off just now. Are you homesick and anxious to return to your wife and children?”
