After pondering for a moment, Charlie smiled and remarked, “The little girl has a fondness for ancient culture. Don’t be surprised if sheter refers to herself as a ve.”


    Lord Wade chuckled and responded, “I’m getting old, and I struggle to understand what captivates these young folks.”


    Lowering his voice, he turned to Charlie and added, “But I must say, this Miss Lin is quite thedy. She is just a bit younger, but otherwise, she would be a great match for you.”


    “Indeed, she is quite young,” Charlie agreed with a grin, thinking to himself, “If only you knew, old man, that Lin Wan’er (ni) is actually over 300 years old, you might just faint from shock.”


    With that, he and Lord Wade made their way to the restaurant.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Upon arrival, Lin Wan’er (ni) was busy unpacking the breakfast she had purchased. Charlie, holding the photo album he had, turned to Lord Wade and inquired, “Grandpa, do you recognize this photo album?”


    Charlie replied, “I found it in my parents’ old study.”


    “That can’t be right…” Lord Wade murmured. “I’ve organized your parents’ study countless times and can ount for every book, but I’ve never seen a photo album there!”


    Charlie pointed at the album and asked, “Are you sure you don’t remember this photo album?”


    Lord Wade looked closely at the photo album Charlie had handed him, shook his head, and dered, “This is the first time I’ve ever seen it. I can guarantee it wasn’t in your parents’ study before.”


    Feeling a surge of doubt, Charlie reflected on the fact that twenty years after his parents’ passing, Lord Wade had maintained the old house as it was. He should know every detail of the house, so if he didn’t recognize the album, it likely meant it had been ced there recently.


    Connecting the dots, Charlie spected that Stephen Thompson was probably the one who brought it over the day before. It seemed Stephen was aware of what Charlie was searching for and had strategically left clues for him to find.


    This thought strengthened Charlie’s belief from the previous night that there must be someone else behind Stephen Thompson’s actions. He even suspected this mysterious figure might be linked to the two nuns he encountered at Qingzhao Temple the day before.


    Fueled by anticipation to unravel this mystery, he turned to Lord Wade and urged, “Grandpa, let’s open it and see if any of the photos look familiar.”


    With a slight nod, Lord Wade opened the album, browsed through it closely, and then told Charlie, “I’ve never seen these photos before.”


    Charlie pointed to a picture of Zhou Liangyun with his father and asked, “Grandpa, do you recognize this person next to my father?”


    Lord Wade studied Zhou Liangyun intently for a long moment, then shook his head, saying, “I have no recollection of him, and Chang Ying has never mentioned him either. This photo looks like it was taken in the United States. Perhaps he was a friend of your father’s from there?” Seeing that Lord Wade genuinely had no idea who he was, Charlie nodded slightly.


    “That seems likely.”


    At that moment, Lord Wade recalled something and advised Charlie, “By the way, Charlie, I remember you brought Arman back from the United States some time ago. He had a close rtionship with your father while he was alive and spent quite a bit of time in the States. You might want to ask him.”


    Charlie’s eyes lit up. Earlier, he had asked Arman to spend more time with his family on Hong Kong Ind while waiting for his call, but in doing so, he hadn’t considered bringing him to Aurous Hill. Now, at such a crucial moment, he felt he had overlooked an important lead!


    Without dy, Charlie replied, “You’re absolutely right, Grandpa. I’ll take this photo and send it to Uncle to see if he recognizes him.”<fn66e8> Get full chapters from find?novel</fn66e8></p“photo>
