Jasmine actually knew very little about the Wade family.

These big families had always been particularly concerned about protecting their own privacy. So, aside from the local families in Eastcliff who more or less understood their situation, the non-local families only knew about their situation vaguely in general, and there were simply no ways for them to know any details in depth.

Moreover, during the era when Curtis had passed away, information dissemination was still very backward, and there were only two methods for ordinary people to gain news. The first one was through the television, and the other method was through the newspaper.

However, the television at that time rarely played any reruns of news, not to mention that there were no internet platforms to help them keep the video files. So, this meant that if you missed the news when it was exposed at first, there was a high likelihood that you would never have the opportunity to see it again.

It was precisely because of this that Jasmine did not even know how many people there were in the Wade family, let alone know what their names were or

which one of them had disappeared as long as twenty years ago.

So, Jasmine spoke up and told Nanako, "I've never heard of the Wade family's internal situation before, so I'm not too sure about which one of their middle-aged descendants has gone missing. Do you want me to think of a way to look into this matter?"

Nanako hurriedly said, "No need, Jasmine!"

Jasmine asked puzzledly, "Don't you want to replace out more details about this matter?"

Nanako smiled slightly and said seriously, "Since Charlie-kun has never mentioned this matter before, that proves that he does not want us or anyone else to know about this matter. We have both received favors from him before, and we cannot simply pry into his secrets just because we want to satisfy our own curiosity."

Jasmine froze for a moment. After that, she sighed and said faintly, "You're right... This is indeed something that we should not pry too deeply into..."

After she had spoken, Jasmine felt a little reluctant as she said emotionally, "Sigh. In truth, I feel that although we have so many clues that we can rely on, we have not found a single conclusive piece of evidence to prove that our speculation is indeed true. It could be said that there is an eighty to ninety percent probability that our speculation is true, but there is still that ten or twenty percent probability that there are some other possibilities. What I actually want is concrete evidence to prove that our speculation is indeed true." 3

Nanako hummed slightly as she said empathetically," I understand what you mean. By the way, Jasmine, I heard someone saying that the Wade family is going to hold a very grand ancestor worship ceremony during the Tomb Sweeping Festival. You can pay attention to it and see if Charlie-kun has gone to Eastcliff during that time, then. If he really happens to go to Eastcliff at that time, we can be completely certain about this matter." 2

"Ancestor worship ceremony?" Jasmine asked in surprise, "How did you know that?"

Nanako said, "When the Wade family came to see my father back then, they also spoke about this matter. It is said that they bought over a mountain for their own Feng Shui, and they turned it into the Wade family's ancestral tomb. Moreover, the Wade family's ancestor worship ceremony is held only once every twelve years. So, it is a very grand occasion. They will be holding the ancestor worship ceremony on that mountain this year."

"I understand." Jasmine hurriedly said, "I will pay attention to Master Wade's trajectory at that time to see if he will leave Aurous Hill and head to Eastcliff, then."

***

The Wade family's ancestor worship ceremony that was scheduled to be held in twenty days had indeed affected many people.

It was not only the Wade family in Eastcliff, but the branches of the Wade family from all over the country and even all over the world had already begun preparing early for this ancestor worship ceremony. Even Charlie was vaguely looking forward to this ancestor worship ceremony in the depths of his heart. This was because he had already long decided that he would bring Sheldon back from Syria for this ancestor worship ceremony so that he could make Sheldon kneel directly in front of his parents' grave and confess and ask for their forgiveness so that his parent's spirits could be comforted.

Although Sheldon was not the murderer who had killed his parents directly, this was still a very important start for Charlie. Charlie felt that with Sheldon as the beginning, he would be able to eventually uncover all of his parents' enemies one by one so that he could make all of them pay the price and consequences of their actions! 3

Aside from Charlie, there was another person who had been looking forward to this ancestor worship ceremony. This person was none other than Sheldon who was in Syria.

During this period of time, Sheldon had been counting down the days. This was because he knew that as the time to the Tomb Sweeping Festival got closer, it would also mean that the day for him to return to Oskia was also getting closer and closer. 7
