Chapter 208
No one wanted Charlie alive more than Evan.
“Ceci, it’s too slow to send it by courier. Ask someone from the Shaw family to drive and send the hair now.”
At first, Evan wanted Cecilia to send it by plane, but he remembered that there was no flight for today anymore, so he asked Cecilia to send it by
car.
Cecilia intended to do the same. She wanted to know the result as soon as possible.
“Okay, I’ll have someone send you the document right away. The hair is in it. If Grandma Elaine asks, don’t let it slip.”
“Don’t worry. I know what Charlie means to Grandma Elaine, and I won’t let her know until I get a definite result.”
Then he asked, “Ceci, how did you meet Charlie? How did you recognize him? How has he changed over the years? Why doesn’t he go home? What did you talk about? Does he have anything to do with the mastermind?”
Evan had so many questions. He wanted to know everything about Charlie.
Cecilia did not lie to him. She told him the whole process of meeting and chatting with Charlie.
“Evan, I’ve told you everything. If the DNA test result confirms that he is Charlie, do you think I can trust him?”
She hoped that Charlie would be trustworthy, which would help to break up the organization called Wolf Killer.
Evan wanted to trust Charlie, but his identity did not allow him to be emotional.
“Ceci, we can’t do things based on our feelings. We should speak with facts and remain skeptical about everything until we are sure where Charlie stands.”
“Evan, I know what to do.”
“Ceci, you may be Charlie’s target. Don’t get confused by Christopher’s poisoning and fall into the trap.”
Cecilia was a calm person. Christopher was her weakness, but he would.

not be used as leverage to control her.
I got it, Evan. That’s all for now. I’ll find someone to send you the document.”
Evan replied. “If you send it now, we will know the result by tomorrow morning.
After Cecilia hung up the phone, she printed out a decent document, put Charlie’s hair in it, and handed it to Bruce.
“Bruce, have someone send this document to Evan in Quilton as soon as possible.”
Bruce respectfully took the sealed kraft envelope and nodded. “Ms. Yancey, don’t worry. I’ll contact the helicopter right away.”
Cecilia remained silent.
“Bruce, is it a good idea to use a helicopter? Just send it by car. It won’t take much longer.
The Shaw family did not own a helicopter. If they wanted to use it, they had to apply to the military.
With the status of the Shaw family, it was easy to get approval. However, they were afraid that someone would smear them for using the helicopter for private purposes.
Bruce explained, “Ms. Yancey, don’t worry. The military has a helicopter. The Shaw family can use it first, and it has been specially approved by the commanding officer.”
Almost all of the Shaw family members who joined the military had died for the country, so they had privileges that the others did not have.
Cecilia did not pay much attention to it until today.
She nodded and said, “Bruce, I’ll tell Grandma Elaine about this. Arrange it quickly. Evan urgently needs it.”
“Yes, Ms. Yancey!”
Bruce quickly left with the document, and Cecilia went into the living
room.
As expected, Elaine had not rested
yet.
She was wearing reading glasses and looking at an old photo album in her hand.
Elaine looked up as she heard footsteps.

When she saw that it was Cecília, she closed the photo album and asked in surprise, “Ceci, are you done so soon? Is Christopher’s poison casy to detoxify?”
Elaine asked that way because she was aware of Cecilia’s expertise in traditional medicine and her strong medical skills.
“I haven’t finished reading the toxicology report. I just got a call from Evan asking for a document. I have asked Bruce to send it by helicopter to Quilton. I came here to tell you about this.”
Even though Elaine was an elderly woman, she was not a fool.
She immediately recognized something was wrong. “What information needs to be sent in writing? Can’t internal secure communication channels be used?”
Cecilia did not answer but asked, “Grandma Elaine, why do you think we haven’t found any clues about the mastermind for more than 20 years?”
Elaine took off her reading glasses, and her expression became serious.
“Ceci, if there is no evidence, don’t suspect your own people so easily.”
“Grandma Elaine, I really don’t have any evidence, but there must be something wrong with our people. We will find out.”
After that, Cecilia changed the topic and asked, “Grandma Elaine, whose photos are you looking at?”
Elaine did not insist on continuing the unpleasant topic. In response to Cecilia’s words, she said, “I’m looking at the three boys at home. You haven’t seen this photo album yet. Sit down and look at it with me.” Then, Elaine patted her side, put on her presbyopic glasses again, and opened the photo album.
There were older photos in the old photo album.
Some were even black–and–white, heavily oxidized, and blurred.
“Ceci, this is Aiden when he was a kid, chubby and so much fun to play with. Now, he doesn’t look like the boy in the photo, always wearing a cold, aloof expression as if everyone owes him money.”
Although Elaine seemed to have a disgusted expression, there was a smile in her eyes and at the corners of her mouth. Obviously, she was satisfied with Aiden’s achievements nowadays.
Cecilia hugged Elaine’s arm and said, “Aiden holds a high position. If he doesn’t maintain a serious demeanor, he won’t be able to manage those
