    “Convenient, convenient!” The elderly gentleman nodded quickly and inquired, “Miss, are you here by yourself? Did Jacob note along?”


    “No.” Lin Wan’er (ni) gave a slight shake of her head and replied, “Jacob will be arriving in China in a few days.”


    After saying this, Lin Wan’er (ni) nced around and continued, “Let’s go inside and talk; there are some matters for which I need your assistance.”


    The old man promptly gestured for her to enter and said respectfully, “Miss, please!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Lin Wan’er (ni) nodded and walked through the grand entrance.


    Upon entering, one is struck by the astonishing size of the courtyard.


    The courtyard, beautifully paved with bluestone, spans several thousand square meters.


    The old man guided Lin Wan’er (ni) to his study and then instructed everyone to step back at least fifty meters, allowing all family members and servants to retreat to the backyard.


    Inside the study, the old man courteously invited Lin Wan’er (ni) to take a seat on the huanghuali chair and then asked, “Miss, where are you from? Why didn’t you let me know in advance so I could have arranged for someone to pick you up?”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) replied nonchntly, “My journey was quiteplicated. I started in Northern Europe, took a boat to Murmansk in Russia, then traveled ovend by car and train to Moscow, flew from Moscow to Vietnam, and finally entered China bynd from Vietnam before flying southwest to Eastcliff.”<fn8788> Follow current nov?ls on find(?)ovel</fn8788>


    “What a convoluted journey!” The old man eximed, surprised. “Miss, why did you take such an indirect route to China? Was there trouble?”


    “Yes.” Lin Wan’er (ni) did not hesitate to rify, “I encountered significant issues in Northern Europe and came very close to losing my life.”


    “What?!” The old man gasped in shock. “What happened?”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) smiled wryly and exined, “One of Jacob’s trained subordinates somehow connected with the Poqing Society and revealed my location. Everyone outside was killed. Fortunately, Jacob and I managed to escape thanks to some noble individuals.”


    The old man looked utterly shocked. “The Poqing Society managed to track you down…”


    “Yes.” Lin Wan’er (ni) sighed deeply and continued, “I’ve been careful to stay low-profile, but unforeseen internal issues arose. Jacob’s subordinates weren’t aware of my identity, yet the Poqing Society was pursuing me through special channels. They even ced a substantial bounty on my head. I suspect it was one of Jacob’s subordinates who inadvertently got this information and sold me out.”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) shrugged and added, “Regardless, it’s all in the past now. All of Jacob’s subordinates are dead, and I still don’t know who betrayed me.”


    Upon hearing this, the old man quickly advised, “Miss, you should stay out of the spotlight for a while. The long-term peace in China makes it much safer than being outside. Though I may be retired, I still have resources and connections, and I will ensure your protection.”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) smiled gently and said, “I didn’t actuallye here seeking protection; I’m just looking for someone.”


    “You need to investigate someone?” The old man asked eagerly. “Miss, who is it you wish to find? What information do you have?”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) replied, “I know he goes by the name Charlie, a male under thirty.”


    The old man inquired further, “Miss, can you provide any more details about Charlie?”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) thought for a moment and added, “Hisst name should be Wade, like the leaves of a tree. However, I’m unsure about the specific characters; it could be morning or evening, or perhaps rted to the dust. Please assist me by retrieving the poption data andpiling all the photos forparison.”


    Then, Lin Wan’er (ni) asked, “You have no trouble essing poption data, correct?”


    The old man smiled and assured her, “No problem at all; any data can be retrieved.”


    “That’s good to hear.” Lin Wan’er (ni) breathed a sigh of relief, nodding. “I appreciate your help in organizing this.”


    The old man responded hastily, “Miss, it’s our Sun family’s honor to assist you.”


    He then added respectfully, “Please wait a moment, Miss; I will arrange it right away!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong><h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong>Next Chapter</strong>
