Then,
Charlie took Lin Wan’er (ni) to bid farewell to the elderly Lord Wade.
On the ne, Lin Wan’er (ni) inquired, “Young Master, you’re heading to New York tonight, and your stay in Aurous Hill is limited to just over ten hours. Don’t you think that’s a bit rushed?”
Charlie shook his head and replied, “There’s not much on my agenda for Aurous Hill. My main priority is to visit my grandparents and their family, share what’s happened over the past few days, see if they have any valuable insights, and also greet my father-inw and mother-inw before we leave.” Lin Wan’er (ni) nodded in understanding.
She then remarked softly, “I almost forgot that the young master’s wife is currently in the United States.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
“That’s right,” Charlie acknowledged. “Before Uncle arrived, I had asked Miss Fei from the Fei family to invite her to the U.S. for assistance. She’s in New York as well.”
Charlie added, “However, I don’t intend to inform her about my trip this time.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) asked curiously, “Why not? Isn’t it nice for married couples to reunite?”
Charlie exined, “This trip to the United States is primarily to investigate Peter Zhou. I also want my parents to gather information about the ‘Preface to the Nine Mysteries Sutra’ and rify its details. I’m unsure how much Po Qing knows about it, so this trip feels a bit sensitive and potentially risky. I’d rather not visit her to avoid anyplications.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) nodded slightly, understanding his reasoning. “It seems that the situation in New York is indeed quiteplicated. Additionally, given what just happened to your grandparents’ family, the An family isn’t currently in the United States. Only your uncle remains in New York, which means that the Qinghui likely has many spies there. You must be extra cautious during this visit.”
Charlie sighed, “That little uncle of mine is going to be a significant troublemaker in the future.”
“I agree,” Lin Wan’er (ni) responded. “The Nu family believes that he and your grandmother’s family have some sort of unspoken understanding. Yet, he’s too afraid to return to China, while your grandmother’s family cannot confront him in the U.S.”<fn1879> Checktest chapters at FιndNovel</fn1879>
“Exactly,” Charlie concurred. “He’s a major obstacle for the An family in New York. As long as he’s around, the An family can’t safely return to the city. While it’s challenging for him to seize the An family’s assets, if they remain tied to him, their business and group operations will be heavily impacted in the near term.”
Charlie continued, “It’s a dilemma—killing him is problematic, but not doing so presents its own dangers. If he’s eliminated, it could clear the way, but it would require careful preparation and possibly even protection for him. Conversely, if he remains alive, he will undoubtedly pose a significant problem.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) then asked, “When do you n for the An family to reemerge in the public eye?”
Charlie pondered briefly before responding, “Until we deal with the Qinghui, the An family can’t return to New York. Even if they could, I wouldn’t feel secure about it, so it’s best for the An family to stay out of sight for now.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) suggested, “I have an idea. Would you like to hear what I have in mind?”
Charlie quickly encouraged her, “Please, go ahead, Miss Lin.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) exined, “The An family has considerable economic strength, recognized worldwide, and is a prominent Chinese family. The Nu family thinks they could enlist Lao Sun to facilitate connections in Yanjing, allowing the An family to work directly with the Chinese government. This way, the An family could be the official representatives of Chinese families, attracting significant foreign investment and making public appearances in China. With official backing, no matter how arrogant Sara is, she would never dare to confront the An family in China.”
Charlie felt a rush of excitement and praised her, “That’s an excellent idea! No matter how bold Sara is, she wouldn’t dare to challenge the state! Before the state machine, Po Qinghui would appear as nothing more than a clown, unable to stir up any trouble.” Lin Wan’er (ni) nodded, adding, “However, this means that your grandfather’s family may find it difficult to leave China. If they do, they might face retaliation from Sara.”
Charlie reassured her, “That’s alright. They can establish a strong base in China for now. Before we resolve the Qinghui issue, they can begin transferring their business and core management to China, which would help ensure the An family’s operations continue smoothly.”
After expressing his gratitude, Charlie looked at Lin Wan’er (ni) and said, “This is a fantastic idea. Thank you, Miss Lin!”
