Hero of heart The amazing son in law complete
Chapter 7400
After more than ten days of self-isolation, Charlie finally emerged from his hillside villa at the Champs-Élysées Thermal Baths.
Those ten days of seclusion were like sleepless nights for Charlie, as he couldn’t concentrate on his cultivation because he was thinking about Claire.
It was already the end of March in the Gregorian calendar and the end of February in the lunar calendar, and Nanjing was entering a warm spring and flowers were blooming.
As the Qingming Festival approaches, the Wade family has begun preparations for this year’s ancestor-honoring ceremony.
However, since everything was currently in Charlie’s hands, Elder Zhongquan Wade came to ask Charlie about the specific plans for this year’s ancestral veneration ceremony,
such as whether to hold a large ceremony and whether to notify members of related family branches to participate.
The old man sent many messages and WeChat messages to Charlie, but received no reply.
Therefore, he left a message for Charlie, saying that if Charlie did not reply, he would take over organizing the ancestor worship ceremony.
For Charlie, the first thing he considered was whether the ancestor worship ceremony was necessary.
Paying respects to ancestors and elders during the Qingming Festival was his duty as a junior, but there seemed to be no need to make a big fuss about it.
Therefore, ancestor worship is necessary, but large ceremonies are not.
Secondly, he was feeling a bit sad, and in this state, he was even less suited to holding a grand ceremony.
Therefore, after considering it, Charlie decided to simplify this year’s ancestral worship ceremony, no longer celebrate extravagantly, and no longer allow immediate family to go to Ye Ling Mountain.
Only immediate Wade family members are permitted to worship devoutly on Mount Ye Ling.
Meanwhile, Zhongquan Wade has been busy preparing for the ancestor worship ceremony for several days.
As Zhongquan Wade grew older, the closer he got to fifty, the more he cared about his ancestor worship rituals.
He couldn’t stop thinking about himself. He sincerely worshipped his ancestors now, and of course, he hoped his descendants would be just as sincere when they worshipped him in the future.
However, after receiving a message from Charlie that Charlie did not intend to hold a grand ceremony, he was unwilling but could not overstep the boundaries, so he had no choice but to stop all preparations.
Charlie stood on the mountain ridge, looking out at the expansive view, and was momentarily lost in thought.
He didn’t know where to go next or what to do next.
He didn’t want to go home because his house was no longer his home.
He also didn’t want to go anywhere, because he didn’t have the energy to go anywhere.
Should I return to continue my secluded cultivation?
It didn’t seem like a good idea either, as he seemed to be suffering from severe insomnia. He couldn’t sleep no matter how hard he tried to lie down, and the longer he lay there, the more restless he became.
So he contacted Duncan Li to ask about the progress of his investigation over the past few days. Duncan Li answered honestly, “Young Master Wade, we’ve been conducting preliminary tracking of those vehicles for the past few days.”
“The movements of each vehicle are deliberately hidden, so even using the initial elimination method, it is difficult to immediately narrow down the scope.”
“It’s still difficult to find a breakthrough. It’s estimated that it will take at least another two months to conduct the first phase of screening of these vehicles.”
“After that, we will be able to eliminate at least 60% of the vehicles, and then carry out a second stage of screening on the remaining 40%.”
Charlie felt a chill run down his spine.
The first round of screening took two months, and after several rounds, a year had passed.
However, he is not an unreasonable person. In the field of criminal investigation, apart from a few cases carried out by stupid people who allow the police to quickly find clues and arrest them,
Criminal cases committed by individuals or small groups with little intelligence will take a long time to solve, many of them more than a year.
Solving a case is not an easy task.
He wanted to ask Maria Lin again, but when he imagined her as an extraordinary woman who had experienced four hundred years of world turmoil,
He realized that even though he didn’t have such interesting life experiences, he was still a man and it was not right for him to bother him with matters of love and romance.
On the one hand, it would disturb his peace, and on the other hand, it would make him lose face.
During his exile, his friends who received the message silently refrained from disturbing him, but Nanako couldn’t resist leaving a message that read: “Please let Nanako know when Charlie-kun finishes his exile.”
So Charlie sent him a message, telling him that he had just finished his exile.
Nanako immediately replied: “Charlie-kun, if you don’t have anything else, let’s have dinner together tonight.”
“I brought some wine and ingredients from Japan. The old man said we should wait until you have time to enjoy them together.”
Charlie thought Nanako lived in Tomson Riviera, and he didn’t want to go back and remember her, so he subconsciously wanted to refuse.
Before Nanako could finish her polite refusal, he sent another message: “I forgot to tell Charliejun that Ouduo-san and I have moved out.”
“We now live in Shanheyue, east of Zijin Mountain. Ouduo-san also said he wanted to invite Charliejun to visit our new home.”
Nanako Ito is a very intelligent girl for her age.
Ever since he helped Charlie get to his house and found the farewell letter Claire left him, he immediately decided to find a place to move out of Tomson Riviera as soon as possible.
Because she knew the Tomson Riviera would be a thorn in Charlie’s side. She used to live at the Tomson Riviera just to get closer to him.
Now, it had become a place Charlie couldn’t leave. If he and his father continued to live there, it would only backfire.
So he immediately asked his father to find another place to live in Nanjing, and it had to be a ready-to-move-in house that he could move into as soon as possible.
Takehiko Ito, a veteran entrepreneur, is also a very action-oriented person.
He immediately contacted a leading real estate agent and asked him to introduce some new and used luxury homes in Nanjing.
After seeing the property in person, he spent millions of dollars to buy a detached luxury villa in Shanheyue, near Zijin Mountain.
Charlie was surprised that Nanako had moved away. Not particularly sensitive to matters of the heart, he subconsciously asked, “Why did you and Uncle Ito move away so suddenly?”
Nanako said, “The old man kept complaining that living in a high-rise apartment was less comfortable and the privacy wasn’t as good as a detached villa,
So he went and bought his own house. I couldn’t persuade him, so I had to move out.”
Nanako’s words were half true and half false.
In fact, Takehiko Ito doesn’t like living in apartments, and the reason he is willing to live in a high-rise building in Tomson Riviera is entirely to please his daughter.
In fact, Takehiko Ito didn’t really want to move apartments; he was the one who wanted to.
Charlie didn’t think much of it at the time. Ito Takehiko was one of Japan’s top tycoons. He had once visited Ito’s mansion in Kyoto, which was so large that it was nearly impossible to put up a sign and pay an entrance fee.
It is natural that a person of that size would be uncomfortable living in a high-rise building and would want to move to a separate villa.
Thinking that Takehiko Ito also wanted to invite him to visit their new house, Charlie, who was worried about not knowing where to go, agreed and said, “Nanako, just send me the address, I’ll be there later.”
“That’s so cool!” Nanako exclaimed excitedly. “Charlie-kun, remember to come early in the morning and chat with Uncle Odo-san for a bit. He keeps talking about you.”
“Okay,” Charlie agreed, adding, “I’ll be there in a moment.”
