Chapter 234: Only An Unknown Pot Is Left (1)
When Yun Zihai came in, Xu Bai was about to continue the progress bar while Chu Yu was about to leave the room.
Hearing Yun Zihai’s words, Xu Bai put down the book in his hand and let Yun Zihai sit down.
“It’s been so many days, and he’s finally here. It’s not easy.”Yun Zihai had just sat down and did not even take a sip of water. The excitement on his face had not stopped.
Because he was too excited, he started coughing violently, and his face became paler.
Xu Bai felt that if this continued, he wouldn’t be surprised if Yun Zihai coughed up blood one day.
The problem of congenital deficiency was a particularly serious matter for Yun Zihai.
‘ Any specific discoveries?” Xu Bai tapped his fingers on the table and asked. “Brother Xu, just follow me. We’ll talk as we walk. When we arrive, we should be almost done.”The clouds came from the sea.
Xu Bai thought for a while and did not say anything else. He walked out of the government office with Yun Zihai. Chu Yu followed behind him. She wanted to join in the fun too.
After leaving the government office, they headed in a direction of Yunlai Mansion under Yun Zihai’s lead.
Xu Bai took a brief look but didn’t see anything.
After walking for about an hour, they finally reached their destination.
It had to be said that Yunlai Mansion was indeed very big. If it was in the past Sheng County, they would have already walked more than half of the distance, but they had yet to reach the edge.
As they walked, Xu Bai noticed something.
The prosperity here was completely different from before.
The location they were at previously was considered a relatively prosperous place in Yunlai Manor.
There was an endless stream of people coming and going, and there were many vendors selling their goods. The surrounding houses were also exquisite.
However, the situation here was completely different. The surrounding houses were slightly dilapidated. Although there were vendors hawking on both sides of the street, the things on the ground were slightly inferior to the prosperous areas.
Moreover, the peddler was dressed in very ordinary clothes.
There were patches in some places on his coarse clothes, making him look very poor.
“This is a slightly run-down place in Yunlai Mansion. The people here don’t come from very good families. Compared to where we live, there’s a big difference.”Yun Zihai explained as he walked.
At this moment, Xu Bai’s eyes suddenly looked around the street in front of him. He saw a person dressed in a completely different way from the scene here.
This was a young man in his twenties, dressed in brocade clothes.
He walked with his head held high and his chest puffed out, appearing out of place in the poor and dilapidated surroundings.
In such a place, there was a young man in embroidered clothes, which made him look suspicious.
The young man in embroidered clothes was walking on the street with a big bag in his hand. From time to time, he would take out something from the bag and pass it to the peddlers on both sides.
These peddlers also accepted it as a matter of course. They looked at the young man in embroidered clothes with kindness and a different atmosphere.
The surrounding peddlers were not young, but they were setting up stalls here. From this, one could see the living conditions here.
Xu Bai frowned slightly and turned to look at Yun Zihai. His eyes were filled with doubt.
He did not ask because he knew that Lin Zihai would naturally tell him about the current situation.
“He is a direct descendant of the Chen family. Although he is not a descendant of the Chen family’s patriarch, he is still a direct descendant. He joined the Chen family recently. “Yun Zihai explained.
“Oh?” Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.” He joined the Chen family recently.
Recently?’”‘
He found a blind spot.
In the content of the exchange just now, the word “recently” was highlighted, and it was a recent addition.
In other words, before this, this young man in embroidered clothes was not a member of the Chen family, or rather, he did not join the Chen family.
There were many ways and means in this.
“I’ve already asked around. This person’s name is Chen Yan. “Yun Zihai explained,” It’s an illegitimate child born outside of one of the Chen family’s lineages. I didn’t plan to acknowledge him back at first, but the person from this lineage lost another son. I had no choice but to acknowledge him back.””
“Before he returned to the Chen family, Chen Yan had been living on this street with his mother. Since he was young, the people on the street took great care of him. Therefore, after living in luxury, he would come here from time to time to take care of the people who had helped them.”
“Brother Xu, I think this might be the key to breaking out of this situation.” At this point, Yun Zihai’s gaze also looked in Chen Yan’s direction.
“It seems that Brother Yun has already made use of the Ye family. “Xu Bai said with a smile.
Yun Zihai was very clear about this kind of news. In addition, Yun Zihai had actually been busy with the matters in the government office recently, but he was so well-informed. Someone must have helped him inquire.
Yun Zihai did not have any background when he came to Yunlai Manor.
Now that he had found someone who could help him gather information, Xu Bai quickly thought of the Ye family. Other than that, he could not think of a second person.
Yun Zihai said,” It’s all thanks to Brother Xu’s guidance. I can’t let down Brother Xu’s good intentions.’”‘
It was Xu Bai who had instructed him that the Ye Clan was a clan that he could win over. That was why he had followed this step. Now, it seemed that the benefits were beginning to show.
“Let’s make contact.” “Judging from the current situation, it seems like the other party has the intention of returning the favor. Let’s get in touch and see if there’s any news.” Xu Bai said.”
As the two of them chatted, Chen Yan had already walked to the corner of the street, and the bag in his hand became smaller and smaller until it was empty..
