Chapter 190: New Discovery
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
This was a high-definition version that Ye Chen had restored with Dragon Soul’s help.
This villa did not feel like home, so putting up this photo would at least remind him of his family. Once Ye Lingtian or Dragon Soul located Chief Long’s whereabouts, Ye Chen would immediately set off for Capital City.
Sun Yi felt that something was wrong. She frowned as she picked up the photo and looked at it carefully.
Ye Chen stood up and walked over to Sun Yi’s side. He asked, “What’s wrong? Am I not handsome in this photo?”
Sun Yi did not say anything. After all, Ye Chen’s parents were dead. If this topic was brought up, it might make Ye Chen sad.
However, something was amiss about this photo.
After hesitating for a long time, Sun Yi pointed to a spot in the photo and said, “Ye Chen, did your mother have a mole on her neck? Or is that something else?”
Ye Chen took a look and replied, “She’s had a mole on her neck since she was young. What’s wrong?”
“Strange…”
Sun Yi’s brows furrowed even more tightly as she said, “That shouldn’t be the case.”
A few seconds later, Sun Yi looked at Ye Chen and said, “Ye Chen, 1 feel that something is wrong. 1 was the one who handled your parents ‘bodies five years ago and personally handled their cremation. 1 can clearly remember that there was no mole on her neck at that time…”
Ye Chen was stunned. Sun Yi’s words were like a bolt from the blue!
“You… Are you certain?” Ye Chen asked as he grabbed Sun Yi’s hand.
“Yes, because it was my first time coming into close contact with a corpse, 1 was actually scared to death. Therefore, 1 had a very deep impression of the experience. For a period of time, my dreams even reenacted those scenes every day!”
“Do you think your mother removed the mole before the tragedy struck? She really did look the same as in the photo, with the exception of that mole.”
Ye Chen did not speak. His expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
The mole on his mother’s neck was still there that day at the Cloud Lake Manor!
Given the fact that Sun Yi was the last person to touch their bodies, there were only two possibilities…
First, his parents’ bodies had been swapped!
Secondly, his parents might still be alive!
Ye Chen could not figure out who would swap his parents’ bodies or why.
However, if his parents were still alive, they would definitely find out about the Heavenly Justice Group. Once they realized that the registered owner of the company was named Ye Chen, they would naturally come looking for him.
He felt a chill run down his spine. The incident at the Cloud Lake Manor back then was not as simple as he had imagined!
Sun Yi felt that Ye Chen needed some peace and quiet, so she stuck out her tongue and said, “I’m going to cook first. Don’t think too much about it.”
After Sun Yi left, Ye Chen dialed Lei Shuwei’s number.
“Lei Shuwei, where are you now? I need to see you immediately. Also, 1 need all of the details you have on the Cloud Lake Manor incident.”
Lei Shuwei, who was on the other end of the line, was stunned. If it was anyone else who spoke to him in this tone, he would have hung up long ago. However, it was Ye Chen.
Although it was strange, Ye Chen’s extremely serious tone told him that something big had happened.
“I’ll get Xiao Deng to pick you up. I’ll see you at the base in an hour.””
“Alright.”
Ye Chen went downstairs and told Sun Yi that he was going out. Sun Yi then served him a bowl of delicious noodles.
She had to go out in the afternoon because Shen Haihua would be coming to Jiangnan Province to meet with the provincial government for a project.
Soon, Jordan received a call from Xiao Deng.
Just as he was about to leave, he realized that Xiao Deng was blocking a young girl from entering the villa area.
“What’s wrong?” Ye Chen asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, the woman turned around. To Ye Chen’s surprise, he knew this person…
Chu Shuran!
Why was this b*tch here?
More importantly, how did she know about this place?
Xiao Deng hurried over and said to Ye Chen, “Mr. Ye, this woman said she had to see you. She even said that she knows you…”
“I don’t know her,” Ye Chen snorted coldly.”
With that, he prepared to get into the car.
Seeing that Ye Chen was about to leave, Chu Shuran rushed over and knelt in front of Ye Chen. She grabbed Ye Chen’s legs and said, “Ye Chen, you… How could you not know me?”
“We were classmates in high school. You once said that you liked me. We’ve met a few times this month too. Although our interactions were a little unpleasant, 1 know that you still have me in your heart, right?”
Chu Shuran had no choice.
Her father had offended the Meng family, a martial arts family in River City.
Now that the Jin family and the Jiang family had disappeared, the Meng family’s authority in River City was terrifying. The Meng family had threatened to destroy the Chu family, and Chu Shuran believed that the only one who could stop the Meng family was Ye Chen!
Moreover, the Chu family knew very well that the Meng family’s actions were undoubtedly done openly for Ye Chen to see.
After all, two out of River City’s three major martial arts families had disappeared. Both of these were connected to Ye Chen in some shape, way or form.
As Ye Chen was now the undisputed number one expert in River City, in order to protect themselves, the Meng family wanted to show goodwill to Ye Chen. Naturally, the first thing they thought of was to target the Chu family!
Ye Chen glanced at Chu Shuran and raised his right leg to kick her away.
Chu Shuran fell a few meters away, blood seeping out of the corners of her mouth.
“If I see you in my villa again, 1’11 kill you without hesitation!”
Two in the afternoon, Dragon Soul’s base.
In the special meeting room, Ye Chen saw Ying Qing and Lei Shuwei waiting for him.
Ying Qing placed a pile of secret dossiers in front of Ye Chen.
“Mr. Ye, these are all the details about the Cloud Lake Manor incident that the Dragon Soul has.”
“Thanks,” Ye Chen said.
Hearing this, Ying Qing and Lei Shuwei were stunned. Was that word even in his vocabulary?
F*ck! Had the stars aligned today? Was this the prelude to the apocalypse?
The two of them looked at each other and saw the shock in each other’s eyes.
Ye Chen completely ignored them and flipped through the contents of the dossiers, leaving no detail unexamined.
Twenty minutes later, Ye Chen looked up at Lei Shuwei and asked, “Are you sure my parents were dead?”
Lei Shuwei’s expression turned strange.
“Mr. Ye, the death report has already been issued. How could it be fake?”
“However, 1 found out that someone might have swapped my parents ’bodies,” Ye Chen said coldly.
“What?!”
Lei Shuwei and Ying Qing’s expressions changed drastically.
Although they were surprised, they knew that it was not impossible.
For example, certain special prisoners on death row were of value to the military, so they would use similar methods to deceive the world of their death, and hand these special prisoners new identities..
However, to say that someone would do that for the Ye couple…
It was too unbelievable.
No one would do that! Moreover, they would have had to deceive everyone present there…
It was not worth the effort!
Ye Chen then told them about Sun Yi’s discovery, and Lei Shuwei frowned even more.
A few seconds later, he thought of something and looked at Ye Chen.
“Mr. Ye, Dragon Soul wasn’t the one who dealt with this matter back then. The contents of the file are only what we have on our database. If Mr.. Ye really wants to know more details about what happened that year, you need to look for a certain someone!”
