You have the right not to speak.

Haihua's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and he quickly asked, "What's that person's name?" "Sit down, let's talk."

Butler Zhu Jiang frowned and pondered for a while before he said with some uncertainty: "It seems... his name is Yue Shenlin."

Haihua hurriedly searched for the name on the list, and indeed found it. His eyes became sharp, and he secretly said in his heart: "Could it be that Yue Shenlin is the hidden enemy of the Chen family?"

Haihua stared at the old housekeeper with sharp eyes and asked, "What is the origin of this Yue Shenlin? Has the Chen family ever had any intersection with him?"

After thinking for a moment, the butler Zhu Jiang replied: "As far as I know, Yue Shenlin is a businessman and has had some business dealings with the Chen family before. However, the specific situation still needs further investigation."

Haihua frowned and said to himself: "Could it be that a business dispute caused him to bear a grudge against the Chen family? But this is just a guess..."

Butler Zhu Jiang continued, "Master, I think we can't let our guard down. Should we send someone to secretly investigate Yue Shenlin's recent movements?"

Haihua nodded and said decisively: "Okay, this matter must be handled as soon as possible. But don't alert the enemy, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Also, list all the people who have had conflicts with the Chen family and investigate them one by one."

Butler Zhu Jiang responded, "Yes, Master. I'll arrange it right away. However, before the results of the investigation come out, we must also strengthen the Chen family's security precautions."

Haihua agreed and said, "That's right. Tell my parents to increase the number of security patrols and make sure everyone in the family is on high alert. I want to see what this potential enemy wants to do."

Haihua's face became serious, and he asked, "Is there anything special about Yue Shenlin's background? What is his reputation in the business world?"

Butler Zhu Jiang shook his head and said, "I don't know much about his background. I only know that his business is doing well, but I can't really say what kind of person he is."

Haihua paced back and forth in the room, thinking and saying: "The Chen family has always upheld the principle of treating people with integrity and rarely makes enemies with others. The appearance of this Yue Shenlin is indeed a bit strange."

He stopped, looked at Zhu Jiang and ordered: "Uncle Zhu, go and invite all the elders in the family and tell them that my grandfather has something important to announce. Maybe they can know something about Yue Shenlin, or provide some other clues."

Butler Zhu Jiang nodded and was about to leave to do it. Haihua added: "Also, find a way to collect more information about Yue Shenlin, including his social circle, daily activities, etc. The more detailed the better."

Zhu Jiang took the order and left. Haihua sat on the chair and fell into deep thought. He secretly vowed to find out the purpose of this potential enemy and protect the Chen family...

Haihua leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and tried hard to recall everything about Yue Shenlin.

Suddenly, he thought of a person - Mr. Chen’s good friend, Mr. Li.

It is said that Mr. Li had a wide range of friends when he was young, so perhaps he would know something.

the next morning

Haihua decided to visit Mr. Li in person, hoping to get some clues from him.

Haihua rushed to Mr. Li's residence, which was a quiet courtyard. He knocked on the door gently, and soon a man who looked like a housekeeper opened the door.

"Who are you looking for?" the butler asked politely.

"I am Chen Haihua, the young master of Cuiyuan, and I would like to meet Mr. Li." Haihua said hurriedly.

After the butler went in to report, he quickly came out to welcome Haihua in.

In the living room, Haihua saw the energetic Mr. Li. Mr. Li looked at him with a smile and motioned him to sit down: "Are you the child of Chen Qing Ling's family?"

Haihua couldn't wait to explain his purpose. After listening, Mr. Li frowned slightly and fell into deep thought.

After a while, Mr. Li said slowly: "Yue Shenlin... This name is somewhat familiar, let me think about it."

Haihua looked at Mr. Li nervously, not daring to breathe.

Finally, Mr. Li's eyes lit up and he said, "I remember now. Many years ago, I did know a man named Yue Shenlin, but that was a long time ago."

Haihua was delighted and asked immediately, "Do you know what the relationship is between him and the Chen family?"

Mr. Li shook his head and said, "I don't know much about this, but I remember that he seemed to be involved in some complicated things back then." "Why don't you just ask your grandfather?"

Haihua sighed and said helplessly: "My grandfather has always been very secretive about this matter and is unwilling to tell me more."

Mr. Li looked at Haihua thoughtfully. After a moment of silence, he said, "Is that so? It seems that things here are indeed not simple. But since you have come this far, continue to investigate."

Haihua nodded firmly and said, "Well, I will definitely find out."

Afterwards, Haihua asked Mr. Li about some other people or things that might be related to Yue Shenlin. Mr. Li recalled carefully and occasionally gave some sporadic information.

Haihua frowned again. This vague information made him a little disappointed, but at least he had a clue.

"It seems that I can only go to ask grandpa." Haihua thought to himself.

After bidding farewell to Mr. Li, Haihua immediately rushed back to Cuiyuan and went straight to Grandpa's study. Fortunately, he was there!

"Grandpa, I have something important to ask you." Haihua stood in front of Grandpa Chen with a serious face.

Mr. Chen put down the book in his hand and looked at Haihua, "What's the hurry?"

"Grandpa, do you know Yue Shenlin?" Haihua went straight to the point.

When Mr. Chen heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, "Yue Shenlin? I have some impression of him, why are you suddenly mentioning him?"

Haihua told his grandfather about his discoveries and doubts one by one.

After hearing this, Mr. Chen was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Some things did happen back then, but they are all in the past, and I didn't want to mention it again. Since you asked, I'll tell you. Yue Shenlin was once our business partner, but later we parted ways because of some disagreements. But these were all many years ago, and I don't know why he became our enemy." "Did you find something that is bad for us?"

"Grandpa, I'm just checking to see who the biggest lurker is. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."

Haihua thought to himself, so that's how it is. It seems that to find out the reason, we need to start from other aspects.

"Thank you, Grandpa. I will continue to investigate this matter." "I will go to my uncle's house to get the gifts first, and then come back to accompany Grandpa later." Haihua added some tea to Grandpa and turned to leave.
