When they arrived at an estate, the car stopped, and then the door opened, and he leaped out directly from the car.

After that, an electric cart that seemed to have been waiting for a while drove up to the spot.

Ye Chen looked from a distance, finding the scenery here truly exceptional, and the entire estate was covered in lush flowers and grass, all blending seamlessly together.

Not far away, there were several buildings that looked like villas. He believed that the elderly gentleman must be in that direction.

"Mr. Ye, this way, please."

Saying so, the person gestured over here and then Ye Chen followed them and got onto the electric cart.

The electric cart began to move deeper into the estate, and after about 10 minutes, they arrived at what seemed to be a golf course.

At that moment, beneath a pavilion, the elderly gentleman was talking and laughing with a few people, seemingly discussing something.

The cart stopped there, and the person pointed in that direction and Ye Chen got up and walked towards it.

As he approached the elderly gentleman, the man suddenly stood up and then waved at him with a smile.

"Come on, come over here, we were just discussing everything here. I didn't expect you to come back so quickly. How was the trip, everything smooth?"

The elderly gentleman greeted him warmly like meeting an old friend.

Ye Chen simply nodded, then turned back to look at the few people by his side. They seemed to be in their sixties or seventies and from their appearance, they seemed like no ordinary characters.

"Let me introduce you, this is the grandson-in-law I was telling you about. He's representing my granddaughter and specially came to see me, so he is my honored guest as well as my distinguished visitor."

When the elderly gentleman said this, Ye Chen was momentarily stunned.

Why was the elderly gentleman introducing him this way? Moreover, there was no relationship between Lin Yaru and himself, so why would he bring up such things over him?

But since the elderly gentleman had already spoken, Ye Chen couldn't immediately refute it at this moment, otherwise, it would be an embarrassment for the elderly gentleman.

"Seniors, hello, I'm meeting you for the first time, please look after me."

"The young man is quite polite."

"Ah, I say, elder, your standard for choosing a son-in-law really is different, and the more I look at this son-in-law, the more I like him. He's quite handsome, and the lad seems spirited."

"That's correct, would just anyone be together with my granddaughter?"

"Alright, now that your family is here, it seems a bit improper for us to keep standing around. We know to take a hint, let's leave, and arrange to meet another day."

"Sorry about that, we will call you another day for a private appointment."

With those words, they got up, smiled at Ye Chen with a nod, and then left the place.

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief when the electric cart took them away.

For some reason, when those people were in front of him, he suddenly felt very oppressed.

He wasn't clear about what had transpired, but he had a feeling that things were somewhat different from what he had imagined.

For now, there was no better solution; all he could do was to continue playing along with the elderly gentleman's wishes.

"Alright, now that they are gone, do you know why I had to speak that way?"

"Elder, I'm also not quite sure; that sudden introduction threw me off, and I was really not clear on how to coordinate with you."

"Do you know? These people are all old foxes, and if you claimed to be someone else, they would definitely suspect your true purpose here. So, I had to use this as a cover to avoid their suspicion."

Ye Chen just nodded subtly, now understanding the deep thought behind the elderly gentleman's actions.

"Got it, I understand."

"So, it was somewhat presumptuous of me not to inform you in advance."

"Not at all, don't worry, elder. Since it's for her safety, I will certainly cooperate with you."

"You rushed here in a hurry, saying that you had some important clues to share with me. What is it, exactly?"

"Elder, actually, just yesterday, Lin Ya and I went to the wharf, the place where your industry was back in the day."

"Oh, so you actually went there. I knew you would go sooner or later, but I didn't expect you to act so quickly."

"Because of Lin Yaru's situation, I didn't want to delay this matter. I didn't have much hope when I went there, after all, more than 20 years had passed, but when I went there this time, I realized that the trip was absolutely worthwhile."

"So you mean to say, you found some very important clues at the wharf, then?"

"Yes, indeed, I found very important clues, but I didn't bring the items with me, I just took a photo. Take a look."

While speaking, he took out two photos and showed them to the elderly gentleman.

The elderly gentleman put on his glasses, enlarged the photo for a closer look, and showed a surprised expression on his face.

"This, where did you get this from?"

He asked in surprise.

"You wouldn't have thought, but this object has always been at the wharf, just behind the seawater, on the underside of some rocks. There was a small entrance, not very noticeable, but inside there's quite some space."

"Are you saying, this stuff was all found in that cave?"

"Yes, found inside the cave. So based on these items, we can infer that Lin Ya's father, your son, didn't leave the wharf back then. Instead, he was temporarily hidden in the cave until you gave up the search and then he was taken away."
