”Your grandfather?” Ye Chen asked again, “What kind of person is your grandfather?”
Lin Wan’er said, “My grandfather is the richest man in Malaysia, Qiu Ying Shan.”
“Qiu Ying Shan?” Ye Chen had heard of this name more than once when he was an interlocutor at Jinling University, and since Qiu Ying Shan had donated a lot of money to Jinling University for education back then, helping it to develop rapidly, his story was written into the university’s history at Jinling University.
He did not expect that Lin Wan’er would still be related to Qiu Ying Shan, so he pursued the question with even more surprise, “What exactly is your real name?”
Without thinking, Lin Wan’er said, “My real name is Lin Wan’er.”
Ye Chen asked again, “Qiu Ying Shan’s surname is Qiu and your surname is Lin, how could he be your grandfather?”
Lin Wan’er said, “It is a distant grandfather, a distant cousin of my grandfather, after I escaped from Northern Europe, I tossed around and joined him, in order not to be found out, so I asked him to help me forge the identity of Lin Xiaowan, he arranged for me to come to Jinling to study.”
Ye Chen asked, “Then why did you choose the archaeology department?”
Lin Wan’er said, “I didn’t come to school to learn anything, but to hide my identity and ensure my safety, so I chose the archaeology major from some of the disciplines at Jinling University, I myself like porcelain, antiques and calligraphy and painting, and of all the majors at Jinling University, this was the only one that interested me a little.”
Ye Chen would be convinced and shook the ring in his hand again and asked her, “What is so special about this ring?”
Lin Wan’er shook her head, “What’s so special about it, I don’t know, this ring is a relic left to me by my father, he told me to keep it well before he left, and also explained that I must not let it fall into anyone else’s hands.”
Ye Chen deliberately asked her, “Then why did you give me this ring?”
Lin Wan’er reacted very quickly and said with a bewildered expression, “You must have made a mistake, there is no way I would give my father’s relic to anyone, it means a lot to me.”
Ye Chen frowned and asked, “What was your father? What did he do? Who was his name, where was he born and where did he die?”
Lin Wan’er said, “My father’s name was Lin Zhuru, he was born in Yanjing and died in Yunnan, as for what he did, I don’t know, I only know that he was a martial artist and was always an enemy of the Broken Clear Society.”
Ye Chen asked, “Why was he an enemy of the Broken Qing Society?”
Lin Wan’er said blankly, “I’m not sure ……”
Ye Chen stared at Lin Wan’er and continued to ask: “Have you seen me since you came to Jinling?”
Lin Wan’er shook her head, “I haven’t seen it.”
Ye Chen said in a cold voice: “Then do you know that this ring of yours pulsates when it is near you?”
Lin Wan’er looked bewildered: “I …… I don’t know …… this ring since my father gave it to me, I have never let it leave my body, never knew that it would actually jump when it left me and came near again… …”
Ye Chen coldly snorted, “The first time the ring pulsed, I was driving away from Jinling University, and you should have been nearby at that time! What were you doing here at Jinling University then?”
Lin Wan’er said, “Before today, I had only come to Jinling University once, to follow my grandfather to solve the problem of admission, to the president of Jinling University, as well as Director Liu, who was in charge of admissions.”
Thinking that the second time the ring jumped was in the underground garage of Townsend One, Ye Chen then asked after him, “Have you been to Townsend One?”
Lin Wan’er said truthfully, “I have been there once.”
Ye Chen questioned, “What did you go for?”
Lin Wan’er said, “Grandpa’s old friend’s granddaughter lives in Tangchen Yipin, I went that time because grandpa’s driver had to drop by Tangchen Yipin to pick up his old friend’s granddaughter for dinner, so I went along for the ride.”
Ye Chen asked again, “Who is your grandfather’s old friend’s granddaughter?”
Lin Wan’er said, “She is a lecturer at Jinling University and has just finished signing a contract with Jinling University.”
Ye Chen wanted to go back a little to verify whether what Lin Wan’er said was the truth or not, so he asked her, “What is the name of your old friend’s granddaughter?”
Without thinking, Lin Wan’er said, “Her name is Liu Manqiong!”
