"Governor Kang!"
"Come, Comrade Huaili, sit down!"
Kang Anbang also nodded solemnly and gestured to Yan Huaili who walked into the office to sit down.
As Yan Huaili sat down.
Without further ado, he got straight to the point and said, "Comrade Huaili, just now on the phone, you said that you have found the list of orphans from the Jiangzhou Welfare Institute?"
"Yes, the day before yesterday, the former director of the Jiangzhou Welfare Home was awake for a rare period of time. After learning about the situation, I immediately sent someone to rush over to find the old director to inquire about what happened back then. Although the old director was very vague about what happened back then, he provided an important clue. He said that there was an employee of the welfare home named Li Cuifang who was particularly loving to those children. She would record every detail about those children in her diary. So based on the information provided by the old director, we found Li Cuifang's registered residence, and then found Li Cuifang's address from the local household registration office!"
"After learning that the employee named Li Cuifang was still healthy, I went there in person and got a list and a group photo from her. Because I like to keep records, and the contents recorded in the notebook back then were not lost or abandoned, she was very confident that there was nothing missing from the list. In addition, she also provided me with a well-preserved group photo, which was a group photo of the children who were adopted by Jiangzhou Welfare Institute thirty years ago when they were eight years old. There was a label on the back of the photo with each child's name, which matched every child on the list!
Yan Huaili moved his throat and said in a very serious tone.
"If that's the case, then it's equivalent to circled all the objects to be searched! But from your tone, why?" Kang Anbang asked puzzledly.
Hearing this, Yan Huaili was stunned.
Then, he took out the list and group photo from the brown paper bag.
"Come, Governor Kang, take a look first!" Kang Anbang greeted and took the list and photos. On the list, Ye Chen's name was there!
Looking at the photo again, Ye Chen in his childhood stood out from the other children like a crane among chickens!
"This... Ye Chen? You mean Ye Chen...
Kang Anbang, who was usually steady, couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"Well, Governor Anbang, do you remember what I told you when I came back from Mr. Zhang that day? So, I am not surprised at all that Ye Chen appeared on the list. After all, his age is consistent with those heirs of the Lin family who were lost back then!" Yan Huaili said.
"Then what?" Kang Anbang asked.
"Then, when I asked Ms. Li Cuifang which child in the photo impressed her the most, she pointed to Ye Chen without hesitation! She said: Ye Chen is the most strong-willed, stubborn, and also the smartest child she has ever seen in the welfare home. There have been several waves of people in the society who wanted to adopt him, but they were all rejected by Ye Chen. In addition to his distinctive personality of repeatedly refusing to be adopted, he has always been incompatible with other children since he was a child. For this reason, he has even been bullied by other children. But this kid is so evil that every time he is bullied, he will use clever methods to retaliate one by one. So the employees of Jiangzhou Welfare Home at that time were amazed at Ye Chen's brain, and at the same time they were even more regretful that such a smart child would be abandoned by his parents!"
Yan Huaili's breathing became more and more rapid as he spoke, "In addition, the other party also provided a more important piece of information, which is that Ye Chen was abandoned in front of the welfare home in his infancy thirty years ago. This coincides with the information provided by the Lin family!"
"But this is not enough to prove that Ye Chen is the lost heir that the Lin family is looking for now!" Kang Anbang's eyes became profound.
"Well, I know I have preconceived ideas again! But Governor Anbang, based on the known circumstances, my intuition tells me that it is very likely that Ye Chen is the descendant of the Lin family!" Yan Huaili said in a loud voice.
Kang Anbang fell silent.
If Ye Chen is really the descendant of the Lin family, then it would be interesting... "Comrade Huaili, as to how likely it is that Ye Chen is the descendant of the Lin family, this is not something we should consider! As long as we hand over this list and photos to the Lin family, we will have completed the task entrusted by the Lin family! With the power of the Lin family, it will be easy to accurately find the people on this list! So there is no need for us to get involved anymore!" Kang Anbang said.
Governor Anbang, I understand what you mean, but I have already started to look forward to it. If Ye Chen is really the lost heir of the Lin family and really the son of Minister Lin, what do you think will happen to that boy's life in the future? "Yan Huaili couldn't help but said.
"What will happen?"
Kang Anbang suddenly stood up from his chair.
"I don't know what he will do, but you will gain the unconditional support of the entire Lin family! As long as the Lin family is here and as long as they don't fall, there will be no stumbling blocks on your road ahead!"
Yan Huaili's face changed immediately.
"Governor Anbang, you can't say that!"
"Come on, Huaili, there is no need to hide or suspect each other. Otherwise, I would not have asked you to help with the matter entrusted by the Lin family. Just based on this, you should know my attitude towards you!
Kang Anbang smiled slowly, "If you can really get close to the Lin family, with your current age and your ability, you can be said to have half a ticket to the Forbidden City. This is something that many people envy!"
"Governor Anbang, you are going too far. I have never thought about such a distant and unrealistic thing, nor dared to think about it!" Yan Huaili said hurriedly.
"It does look far away, but it is not unrealistic, so it is time for you to start accumulating capital for yourself. After all, you are about to be promoted. Once you take a step further, the problem of choosing a team will be unavoidable! And if Ye Chen is really the lost heir of the Lin family, then based on the little things between you and him, as long as you don't resist, you can easily step on the Lin family's ship. By then, with your ability, skill and courage, if nothing unexpected happens, the Lin family will help you rise to the top and ride the wind and waves!"
Kang Anbang said again in a thought-provoking way.
However, Yan Huaili did not dare to look directly at this problem.
He quickly changed the subject, "Governor Anbang, I can't handle what you said. I really can't handle it! Let's get back to the issue of Ye Chen!"
"There's nothing much to say about Ye Chen. I'll provide the list and photos you got to the Lin family, and we'll have concluded this mission. As for whether the heir of the Lin family is Ye Chen, it's obviously not our place to join in the fun! But..."
Having said this, Kang Anbang suddenly paused.
"Hmm? Governor Anbang, but what?" Yan Huaili said subconsciously.
"But I hope, I really hope that boy is the lost heir of the Lin family! This will definitely be of great benefit to you, me, the Lin family, and even to the future of Shenzhou!"
As he spoke, Kang Anbang's eyes flickered with an intriguing light...
