At first, Ye Chen was afraid that she would ask about Chen Zhimin at the dinner table, so he felt a little embarrassed from the moment he walked in. But seeing that she didn’t speak much, the embarrassment in his heart became even more obvious.
Although grandma and uncle asked many questions, they did not ask about Chen Zhimin. It seemed that they had reached a tacit agreement and never mentioned this topic.
After lunch, Ye Chen chatted with his grandmother for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
When the old lady saw that Ye Chen was leaving, she stood up and said, “Chen’er, grandma will take you out.”
At this time, An Youyou, who had been silent until now, stood up and said, “Mom, please rest while I take Chen’er out.”
Ye Chen knew that his aunt probably had something to talk to him privately, so he nodded and said, “Yes, grandma, don’t bother, just give it to me.”
Grandma also knew that her youngest daughter must have something to ask her grandson, so she nodded and followed the flow and said, “Okay, let your aunt give it to you.”
The aunt and nephew walked out of the villa gate one after another, and when they came to the yard, An Youyou couldn’t help but ask Ye Chen: “Chen’er, tell me the truth, is Chen Zhimin dead?”
Ye Chen was not surprised at all by her question. He nodded very frankly and said, “Yes, auntie, Chen Zhimin is dead.”
An Youyou pursed her lips and asked again, “How did he die?”
Ye Chen replied: “He was burned to death in the fire, but no clues were left. The ashes were also disposed of, which is basically equivalent to evaporating from the earth.”
An Youyou nodded slightly.
She knew before that Ye Chen went to New York, and not long after Ye Chen went to New York, Chen Zhimin disappeared, so that several managers of the An family called her because they couldn’t find Chen Zhimin.
The moment she learned that Chen Zhimin was missing, she guessed that Chen Zhimin should be dead.
However, she has not waited for a clear message.
Now that she got Ye Chen’s confirmation, she felt mixed feelings.
Ultimately, though, there was a sense of relief.
So she asked Ye Chen: “Chen’er, you should have known for a long time that Chen Zhimin is the one who broke the Qinghui, right?”
“That’s right.” Ye Chen nodded and said truthfully: “Earlier, we speculated that he should be the ‘scholar’ of the Po Qing Society, but there was no direct evidence. But this time when I went to New York, I accidentally discovered that he was a member of the Po Qing Society. The earls secretly joined forces to get the Sifang Baozhu, so I looked for an opportunity to kill them both.”
After that, he said to An Youyou apologetically: “Auntie, the incident happened suddenly and I didn’t have time to ask for your instructions. Please forgive me.”
