Chapter 681: The Family Secret
"You mean you suspect that my son sent her a dream?"
"Actually, to be honest, I didn't believe this at first, but the key point is, there's a special connection between father and daughter, it's very likely just like this."
"Now that you've mentioned this, I'm starting to believe it too. Their relationship is indeed very good; sending a dream to his own daughter is not impossible."
"Master, do you also believe this matter?"
"I completely believe it, but you just said that initially it was such a dream; you mean later it wasn't the same dream anymore, right?"
"Yes, just recently, the dream suddenly changed; it's no longer the previous setting, but it's still in a completely enclosed room, with personal freedom still restricted."
"So, what are you trying to tell me?"
"Master, what I want to say is, this thing is just too strange; unless, my son has been trapped somewhere for almost twenty years, and was only moved out later to a new environment, then according to what you've said, he should still be alive in this world, right?"
"Yes, that's what I mean. Actually, I know this is a bold guess, but now everything points to this, we can't help but believe."
Now, Ye Chen has nearly fully expressed all his inner thoughts. After all, it's someone else's family affairs, so Ye Chen felt there really is no need to hide anything.
Master seemed very shocked, yet it also seemed like a matter he had anticipated.
Afterward, Master stood up and began pacing back and forth on the spot.
Zhui Feng next to him didn't say anything, just silently listened to everything.
"Master, do you believe it? That such things really exist in this world."
"I believe, otherwise, all this would be too coincidental. My son's disappearance years ago was already a mystery, now with these verifications, I think the guess should be correct."
"But, Master, have you ever thought about who would want to control the young master for more than twenty years, and has never put forth any demands to us, what could their motive be?"
Zhui Feng now asked a crucial question, because if this question can't be explained, then all this can't really be proven.
"The only suspicion I have is about what they are currently doing, what does our family have, what secret has our family been guarding for so many years, I believe, Zhui Feng, you should know better than me."
There was an underlying meaning in Master's words. After saying this, Zhui Feng just gently nodded his head.
"So if you're saying this, then it must be this way; could it be that they knew about this more than twenty years ago?"
"It's possible that's the case, it seems I really thought too simply about this matter."
"Master, I remembered something. Could it be related to this?"
Zhui Feng seemed as if he suddenly thought of something, then excitedly looked at Master.
"I know what you want to say, you mean the mysterious email we got before, the sender should be him, right?"
"Exactly, it seems the old master has also thought of it; it's very likely that the email was sent by the young master because besides you, only the young master would know the family secret."
"The reason he advised me to be alert about protecting Lin Yaru is that he might already know about their deeds, but right now he isn't allowed to leave that place, especially since it concerns Lin Yaru's safety."
"So, this really complicates things; now the priority is definitely the lady's safety."
"That's why, as soon as I learned this, I arranged for Ye Chen to go and safeguard the lady's safety, at least it should still be safe for now."
"This is not a long-term solution, if we keep waiting like this, we are just too passive."
"Yes, to transition from being passive to active, we need to take initiative, but the key is, we now don't have any clues; how should we take initiative?"
While the two were discussing this, Ye Chen remained silent throughout, because he really didn't know what secret they were referring to.
However, he vaguely guessed that this so-called family secret must be inseparably linked to Lin Yaru.
"Ye Chen, share your thoughts, since you have investigated and even came specifically to tell me all this, tell me, what can I do for you?"
"Master, I don't need you to do anything because once you make a move, it will inevitably alert them, so this matter can only be handled by me alone to be appropriate."
"Then tell me your plan."
"Yaru and I have analyzed it, back in those days, they actually did not have a suitable hiding place, especially since your family's influence was very significant back then. The only hiding place, combined with Miss Lin's dream, I deduced, must have been on some Deserted Island."
"Hide on a Deserted Island? Yes, only a deserted island could have such a secretive and damp environment, suitable for hiding people; who would think of someone hiding on a deserted island all this time? But within the vast sea, these deserted islands are probably uncountable, how will you conduct your investigation?"
"Don't worry, Master, I have already locked onto a target, it should be a deserted island not far from the pier, so I plan to start my investigation from there."
"What could be discovered?"
"I think, someone living on a deserted island for nearly twenty years, there should still be many traces of their life, as long as we can find the direction, it shouldn't be too difficult."
Master after hearing this, just gently nodded his head, and he had also not expected Ye Chen to arrange things this meticulously.
It seemed, he indeed had not misjudged this person, he has now become the most capable assistant to him.
Currently, Ye Chen had not yet been incorporated under his jurisdiction; if he does become his own man, it would inevitably draw these people's attention.
"Good, if you want to do this, then I fully support you, but I feel that with just you alone, perhaps, you can't accomplish all this. How about this, I'll arrange some personnel for you from our secret organization so that they can support you in doing these things."
