Li Yalin shared his thoughts, saying, “In my view, it feels like there’s a significant figure orchestrating events from behind the curtain. If I’m correct, this entire team must have been strategically ced here by that individual. Last year, they withdrew as a unit and advanced and retreated together, likely toplete a crucial mission.” The olddy, intrigued, responded, “
Yalin, are you suggesting that this orphanage might be closely tied to Charlie?!”
Li Yalin affirmed, “Yes, auntie, I do have that suspicion.”
Asher chimed in, “It would be incredibly helpful to determine when these individuals arrived in Aurous Hill. We know they left together, but weck evidence that they arrived together.”
“That’s easy!” Tablita eximed with enthusiasm. “We can look into the social security records of the previous team! Since the welfare home operates as a social welfare organization, funded by the government and private donations, it must maintainprehensive personnel information due to public oversight. If they are indeed on an important mission, as Yalin suggested, they would need to appearpliant and perfect on the surface. Any anomalies in their personnel records could easily raise red gs!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Li Yalin praised Tablita’s clear thinking, saying, “If we can find the previous personnel records of the Aurous Hill Welfare Institute, we might uncover some clues!”
Hom replied eagerly, “I’ll have someone look into it right away!”
He promptly pulled out his mobile phone and made a call.
The elderly man had been retired for many years, and most of his contacts were either long gone or no longer active. His usable connections were quite limited.
In contrast, Hom, as the head of Anjia’s external dealings, had been managing the family business for a significant time, giving him the most connections and influence within the An family.
Essentially, while the elderly gentleman held the title of the revered patriarch of the An family, Hom was the current leader, wielding substantial authority.
After making the call, Hom turned to the group and said, “Someone is already on the case, and we should have results shortly.”
Everyone felt a surge of anticipation.
Ten minutester, when Hom received a call, he quickly answered, activated the speakerphone, and inquired, “Azu, I asked you to look into it. What did you find?” A middle-aged man named Azu responded respectfully, “Mr. An, I’ve reviewed the personnel files of the Aurous Hill City Welfare Institute. The previous group of staff did indeed leave togetherst year. However, their dates of joining the organization don’t align perfectly.”
This revtion left everyone feeling a bit disheartened. Hom pressed on, “Could you provide me with details regarding the employment history of these individuals?”
Azu continued, “Mr. An, the organizational structure of this orphanage is remarkably stable. Itprises the dean, teachers, caretakers, chefs, and cleaning staff, totaling 16 individuals. Among them, the shortest tenure spans nearly twenty years. Honestly, I have never encountered such a stable team; there hasn’t been any turnover in two decades.”
“Twenty years?!”
Hom’s expression turned serious.
This timeline was particrly sensitive for them.
Because Lydia (Ava), Charlie’s mother, along with her husband Bruce, had tragically passed away in Aurous Hill two decades ago.<fn2907> Content originallyes from F?nd-Novel</fn2907><h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
