Hero of heart The amazing son in law complete
Chapter 7404
From then on, Charlie became very wary of coincidences.
When he saw these coincidences now, a thought immediately came to his mind: Where do so many coincidences come from in this world?
Even the Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures that were revealed when my father-in-law broke the bottle were not something I obtained by chance, but rather the result of my parents’ planning many years ago.
My successful enlightenment was also thanks to my father’s gift of the Dragon Rank to me, which made me an Ascended Dragon.
So when Nanako heard in the elevator that Master Jingqing was coming to Qixia Temple, and then went there, and received enlightenment from Master Jingqing, these seemingly coincidental events were more like a sophisticated trap that lured people deeper and deeper.
If this series of events is a series of interconnected schemes, then the woman Nanako met in the elevator is the first bait!
So he immediately asked Nanako, “Do you know that woman? She lives downstairs from your house?”
Nanako nodded and said, “I’ve met her a few more times since then, and we exchanged pleasantries in the elevator. We’re quite friendly. She lives on the ninth floor. Her husband is on duty all year round, so she lives alone.”
Charlie immediately said, “Wait a minute, I’ll make a call.”
After saying that, Charlie immediately took out his cell phone and called Orvel.
When the call connected, Orvel respectfully asked, “Mr. Wade, what are your instructions?”
Charlie instructed him: “Orvel, check the owner information of Tomson Riviera and send me the information of the owner of the ninth floor of Miss Ito’s building.”
The high-rise that Nanako bought is the best in Tomson Riviera, with only one unit on each floor.
Orvel had strong connections in Aurous Hill. After receiving the call, he immediately began making inquiries and promptly sent the information to Charlie.
The ninth-floor apartment is registered to Parker Xixi. However, Parker Xixi is not a Chinese citizen, but rather a Chinese-American citizen.
He owns an import and export company in Nanjing, and was eligible to purchase the property because of his investments in China.
Charlie felt strange. The woman’s identity was very different from Nanako’s description. Nanako had said that the woman’s husband worked in another city year-round, while she was a housewife, but that didn’t seem to be the case.
Next, it is necessary to determine whether this woman’s company is a shell company and whether her American citizenship can be verified.
So he planned to have Orvel continue to investigate the woman and the company, and then send the woman’s identity to Stella Fei, who was in the United States at that time, so that Stella Fei could help check whether the woman’s American citizenship was true.
Nanako also realized the seriousness of the matter and knew that Charlie must be very frustrated, so she comforted him, “Charlie-kun, don’t worry too much. We’ll investigate everything slowly, and the truth will come to light. In the future, we should pay more attention to unusual opportunities and coincidences around us. Perhaps we can seize them.”
After saying that, he suddenly remembered a detail and immediately said, “But Charliejun, come to think of it, I haven’t seen this woman for a long time. Perhaps she’s already completed her mission and left. If you investigate her extensively now, you might alert them.”
“Then they’ll know you’re aware of their presence. If they have other plans, they might be more cautious. Wouldn’t that make it harder to find clues?”
Charlie muttered, “You mean pretending not to know and then waiting patiently?”
“That’s right,” Nanako said confidently, “In Sun Tzu’s Art of War, there is a saying that goes, ‘Use plans to turn the tables on the enemy.”
“Now’s the perfect opportunity to do it. Pretend you don’t know anything, catch the enemy off guard and use the same trick again, then you can turn the tables.”
Charlie thought Nanako’s words made perfect sense.
If we investigate, the other party may not be afraid.
In fact, whether or not it is necessary to thoroughly investigate this woman, may be a warning sign left by the other party.
Thinking of this, Charlie abandoned his plan to ask Stella Fei to thoroughly investigate the identity of the other party. Instead, he asked Orvel to arrange for someone to check the water and electricity bills on the ninth floor of Tomson Riviera to see the unit’s water and electricity consumption.
This will help determine if the house is occupied. If the last water consumption was zero and the electricity consumption was very low, it would indicate that the house is empty and no one lives there anymore.
Orvel was very efficient. He immediately replied to Charlie’s message, saying that the water bill for the ninth-floor apartment had been zero for almost a month, and the electricity bill was only 68.03 yuan.
If a house is empty and there are no leaks or water leaks, of course there will be no water consumption.
However, electricity is different. Internet-connected refrigerators, routers, and other smart home appliances constantly consume electricity. A monthly electricity bill of just over 60 yuan is just over 100 kilowatt-hours, equivalent to four or five kilowatt-hours per day.
Power consumption is at least one-third that of a side-by-side refrigerator, and the floor area of a single unit at Tomson Riviera ranges from two to three hundred square meters.
The developer installed embedded AP panels in each room, with the electrical network occupying another third. The remainder is used for gas alarms, smoke alarms, and emergency call buttons.
It is possible that the other party has installed networked surveillance cameras in the house, so they can be notified immediately if someone breaks in.
Therefore, judging from the water and electricity consumption, no one has lived in this house for the past month.
It seems this woman has completed her mission and left Aurous Hill. Even if her identity is revealed, it’s unlikely she’ll be found.
Charlie feels a bit upset because he realizes that there is an invisible web surrounding him, controlling most of his movements, and even starting to control and influence his life, like in The Truman Show.
He even began to suspect that his wife, Claire, might also be one of them. If so, her disappearance might simply be because the role they had assigned her had been played out.
Even though he knew the other party might not actually have any malicious intentions, the feeling of being secretly manipulated still made him very uncomfortable.
Nanako quickly changed the subject, saying, “Charliejun, we’ve learned from this. Let’s not let him get to us too much now. Our father is waiting for us at home for dinner. Let’s hurry up and go upstairs!”
Charlie sighed softly and nodded slightly.
He knew something was wrong with his mind, mostly due to Claire’s departure. At that moment, he suddenly wanted to find Maria Lin, sit with her under the Pu’er tea tree, brew tea together, and tell her his problems, to see how Maria Lin would comfort him or inspire him.
So he adjusted his thoughts and said to Nanako, “We can’t keep Mr. Ito waiting any longer, so let’s hurry up and go upstairs. But I can’t stay too long tonight; I have things to do later.”
Nanako knew that Charlie had just come out of seclusion and must still have a lot to take care of, so she nodded and said, “After you finish eating, Charlie-kun, please go ahead and do what you need to do. The Old Man won’t mind.”
