Chapter: 3121
Song Wanting doesn’t know much about the Ye family. Big families like theirs often keep their lives private. Only local families in Yanjing have a clearer idea of their situation, while people from other places know very little.
When Ye Changying died, information spread slowly. Back then, the main ways for people to get news were through television and newspapers. TV rarely replayed news, and there were no internet video platforms to save clips. This meant that if someone missed a news story, they might never see it again.
Because of this, Song Wanting had no idea how many members the Ye family had or what their names were. She didn’t even know about any family members who had gone missing twenty years ago. So, she turned to Ito Nanako and said, “I really don’t know much about the Ye family. I can’t even tell who among their middle-aged children is missing. Should I find someone to help us look into it?”
Nanako Ito quickly replied, “No need, Sister Wanting!”
Song Wanting looked puzzled. “Don’t you want to know more secrets and details?”
With a serious smile, Nanako said, “Since Charlie hasn’t shared this information, it means he doesn’t want us to know. We are lucky to have his favor, and we shouldn’t pry into his secrets just to satisfy our curiosity.”
Song Wanting paused, then sighed softly. “You’re right… We shouldn’t dig too deeply into this matter…”
With that, Song Wanting continued.
With a hint of reluctance, Song Wanting said, “I think we’ve gathered a lot of clues, but we still don’t have solid proof to back up our theory. Some say there are eight or nine clues, but there could be one or two more possibilities. What I really want is clear evidence.”
Nanako Ito nodded and replied, “I understand what you mean. By the way, Sister Wanting, I heard that the Ye family is planning a big ancestor worship ceremony this year during Qingming. If Charlie Wade happens to be in Yanjing at that time, it could confirm everything.”
“The ancestor worship ceremony?” Song Wanting asked, surprised. “How do you know about this?”
Nanako explained, “Members of the Ye family met with my father and talked about their plans. They bought a mountain for their Feng Shui and turned it into their ancestral grave. They hold this ceremony every twelve years, and this year it will take place on that mountain.”
“I see,” Song Wanting said quickly. “I’ll keep an eye on Master Ye’s movements to see if he leaves Jinling for Yanjing.”
