At 9:00 p.m. New York time, a modified Boeing 748 private jet took off from Kennedy Airport, embarking on a journey to Aurous Hill, China, a distance of 10,000 kilometers.
After a long twelve hours in the air, An Jia’s flight touched down at Aurous Hill International Airport at 9:00 a.m. local time.
Upon arrival, the staff who had arrived in Aurous Hill earlier organized a convoy to transport the elderly couple—Asher, Li Yalin, and others—to Wanliu Vi.
By the time the convoy reached Wanliu Vi, it was alreadyte at night. The vi was particrly serene and inviting at that hour, and the An family’s butler personally escorted the four of them to the central vi.
After enduring more than ten hours of travel, the group felt quite fatigued. Once their rooms were assigned, they all retreated to their quarters for some much-needed rest.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Wanliu Vi boasts spacious single vis, each featuring three floors above ground and one basement, with a total usable area of at least 800 to 900 square meters. Thanks to the generousyout, every roomes equipped with its own private bathroom suite. The elderly couple upied thergest room on the third floor, while Asher stayed next door and Li Yalin temporarily settled opposite Asher.
Once inside his room, Li Yalin prioritized sending a message to Charlie, letting him know they had arrived at Wanliu Vi.
At that moment, Charlie was lying beside ire, eagerly awaiting news from Li Yalin. ire had already drifted off to sleep, but when Li Yalin’s message came through, Charlie was flooded with emotions.
What truly stirred him was not merely the arrival of his grandparents but the flood of memories it triggered—specifically, the tragic day when his parents were killed.
From the moment his grandparents’ ne took off, Charlie’s mind was inundated with memories of that fateful incident.
At the time of his parents’ ident, Charlie was still in school, and it was mid-tote June, with summer vacation on the horizon. The weather in Aurous Hill was sweltering that day, and dark clouds lingered ominously overhead. It was not until the afternoon that a thunderstorm erupted, pouring heavy rain.
The downpour was so intense that within just ten minutes, the entire school yground was submerged. Charlie vividly recalls the thunder and rain, which left many of the children in his ss trembling with fear.
In that moment, the ssroom door burst open, and Stephen Thompson, drenched and soaked from the rain, rushed in despite the teacher’s protests. He swiftly grabbed Charlie from his seat and hurried out of the ssroom.
Charlie distinctly remembers seeing over a dozen middle-aged men in ck, their faces obscured by rain, their clothes clinging to their bodies in a disheveled manner.
Even more astonishing was that each of these men was carrying a boy who looked strikingly simr to Charlie in age, build, and clothing. After receiving an order from Stephen Thompson, the group of men quickly gathered the boys and dispersed in different directions, while Stephen held onto Charlie, sprinting through the rain.
Later, Charlie found himself at the orphanage where he grew up. Before he left, he was told by Stephen that his parents had been killed, along with a warning to keep his true identity a secret from everyone for the rest of his life.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong><fnb0eb> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on Find?Novel</fnb0eb>
