Tomb raiding: Those who achieve immortality all have tattoos.

Old Nine turned and left. Chen Yan turned back to look at the birds that had landed on the trees in the garden.

The Wu family is really cunning; even he was almost fooled.

Time flies.

Wu Xie received a package from "Zhang Qiling".

The moment Wu Xie left Beijing and headed back to Hangzhou, the Chen family's servants relayed the news back to the Chen family.

Chen Yan was sunbathing when he received the message.

"Brother Yan, Wu Xie has returned to Hangzhou."

"Where are the things?"

"The guy caught up; he should get the message back soon."

Chen Yan opened his eyes and said, "Have someone do it in the car. Once Wu Xie returns to Hangzhou, it will be like throwing a stone into the sea."

"clear."

Chen Haisheng listened quietly without saying a word.

After Lao Jiu left, Chen Yan suddenly asked, "What is the Wang family's assessment of Wu Xie?"

Chen Haisheng was taken aback. For so long, Chen Yan had never asked him anything about the Wang family. He had thought that Chen Yan wouldn't ask.

After all, Chen Yan's actions are incomprehensible to outsiders.

He thought Chen Yan knew everything.

However, Chen Haisheng quickly added, "All the information the Wang family has about Wu Xie comes from when he was six years old."

"Six years old?"

Chen Yan paused slightly, and Chen Haisheng said, "All I know is that something must have happened when Wu Xie was six years old, which is why the Wang family started researching Wu Xie."

"The Wang family has remained inactive regarding all information about Wu Xie, perhaps because they don't understand what Wu Sansheng is trying to do."

"After all, what the Wang family wants is not Wu Xie or the Wu family."

After Chen Haisheng finished speaking, he fell silent, his eyes fixed on his nose and his mind.

This patriarch is very shrewd and has his own brain; he doesn't need to say much.

Chen Yan closed his eyes and pondered carefully what the Wang family was waiting for. Did the Wang family believe that Wu Xie would definitely find the immortality they sought?

On what grounds?

What exactly happened when Wu Xie was six years old?

Chen Yan suddenly opened his eyes and chuckled, "The Wu family, the Wu family is quite interesting."

Chen Haisheng was completely confused, wondering what the patriarch was thinking this time.

Chen Yan felt that it was probably because the Wu family's modification of Wu Xie's body was completed when he was six years old.

After all, even if Mangren grass can improve a person's physique and turn an ordinary person into a medicinal person, it still takes time.

"Before Wu Xie was six years old, was he in poor health? There's almost no information available about him?"

Chen Haisheng was taken aback: "Yes."

He really wanted to ask the head of the family how he knew.

Chen Yan's lips curled up slightly. Just as he thought.

The Wu family planned to use Wu Xie to break the deadlock from the moment he was born, so from birth they claimed that Wu Xie was in poor health.

They isolated Wu Xie from outside investigation and secretly used the Mangren Grass to improve his physique.

After Wu Xie turned six, his constitution had become that of a medicine person, which brought him into the public eye.

It was only around this time that the Wang family had the opportunity to set their sights on them...

and many more.

Still not right.

Chen Yan frowned; one step was missing.

Why did the Wang family suddenly set their sights on Wu Xie?

This doesn't make sense. Even if Wu Xie is a third-generation member of the Nine Gates, there's no reason for the Wang family to suddenly target him, is there?

Something else must have happened back then.

Chen Yan suddenly turned to look at Chen Haisheng: "When Wu Xie was six years old, did the Wang family do anything?"

Chen Haisheng was a little speechless. "No, patriarch, how old am I? What could I possibly know?"

However, Chen Haisheng still carefully recalled all the information he had received.

After thinking carefully for a long time, he shook his head: "Patriarch, I have limited information. I came directly to the Chen family not long after returning to the Wang family's headquarters."

Chen Yan didn't say anything, but simply said, "Go find Chen Xi and tell him how Wu Xie's health improved when he was six years old. I'm very curious."

Chen Haisheng immediately turned and left.

Chen Yan closed his eyes again and lay in the pavilion basking in the sun.

Soon.

After Chen Haisheng returned, he stood beside Chen Yan and said, "Master, I asked around, and Fourth Grandfather said that Wu Xie went down into the tomb when he was six years old."

Chen Yan suddenly opened his eyes. Had he been in a tomb raiding? Six years old?

"address."

"The underwater tomb in the Xisha Islands".

Xisha Islands.....

Chen Yan waved his hand: "You can go now."

"Yes."

After Chen Haisheng left, Chen Yan sat up, turned around to pour himself some tea, but his thoughts began to wander.

When Wu Xie was six years old and his health had just recovered, he went to Xisha with the aim of getting the Wang family to target him.

impossible.

After all, Wu Xie is their only trump card. If Wu Xie dies, the Wu family will have no chance of making a comeback.

What else could it be?

Chen Yan was deep in thought and didn't notice that the tea had overflowed the teacup and dripped down the table onto his pants.

A large patch of tea stains spread out.

"Master of the family."

Chen Yan snapped out of his reverie, put down the teapot, and casually picked up a handkerchief from the side. While wiping the tea stains on his pants, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Chen Xi looked at Chen Yan and said, "Fourth Master said that if you can't figure it out, then think about who else went to Xisha back then."

Who else went?

Chen Yan frowned. Chen Xi didn't leave, nor did she say anything more; she just stood there to the side.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Xi realized that Chen Yan still couldn't understand, and he also knew that this young patriarch didn't take the other families of the Nine Gates seriously at all.

Therefore, an important figure was naturally overlooked.

"Master, you've met Wu Xie. Do you notice anything amiss with his face?"

Wu Xie's face?

Chen Yan glanced at Chen Xi in surprise, and Chen Xi took out a yellowed photo from his pocket and placed it in front of Chen Yan.

Chen Yan picked it up and glanced at it; it was a group photo of the Xisha archaeological team from back then.

Chen Yan was not surprised at all to see Zhang Qiling among them.

"Who is this?"

Chen Yan suddenly pointed to one of them and asked, and Chen Wei lowered her eyes slightly and replied, "Qi Yu, the adopted son of Qi Ba Ye of the Qi family of the Nine Gates, a second-generation member of the Qi family."

Qi Yu.

"Qi Yu..."

Chen Yan's mind went blank in an instant.

A hint of disgust flashed in his eyes. The Wu family's methods had no limits; there was no limit to how disgusting they could be.

Chen Xi glanced at Chen Yan's expression and knew that the young patriarch had guessed it. He sighed inwardly, thinking that the two of them were of the same mind.

"Master, if there's nothing else, I'll head back now."

Chen Yan hummed in agreement. After Chen Xi turned and left, Chen Yan glanced at the conspicuous tea stain on his pants, clicked his tongue, and got up to walk towards his room.

As we walked, we looked around to see where the Ninth Brother was.

As it turned out, Lao Jiu didn't see Chen Haisheng, but instead saw him standing at the entrance of the garden.

"Go tell Lao Jiu to contact Hei Xiazi and have him come over."

Chen Haisheng was a little puzzled, but still said, "Yes, Master."

Chen Yan returned to his room, went straight into the bathroom, took off his clothes and took a shower. After coming out, he changed his clothes.
