Chapter 5066

The old man heard Maria muttering and couldn't help but say, "Bruce Wade and Lily Evans? This couple, more than twenty years ago, could be said to reign supreme in Eastcliff!" "You've heard of them?" Maria asked. "More than that," the old man replied seriously. "I have some friends within the Wade family. The Wade family's old mansion is not far from me, just a half-hour walk. The Wade family is in the top three families in China. Bruce was the most outstanding descendant of the Wade family back then, and his wife Lily Evans was a major Silicon Valley investor. By the way, the Evans family behind Lily Evans are ranked second in the United States." "That's how it is!" Maria nodded and sighed. "No wonder the name Lily Evans is so familiar. I think I've read a biography about her." She looked at Charlie's black and white, crown-free photo taken before he entered the first grade of elementary school and said seriously, "I see that this little kid bears some resemblance to the Charlie I'm looking for, and combined with the name, I'd say the chances are that it's him." "Unlikely." The old man subconsciously said. "Twenty years ago, Bruce and Lily Evans met with an accident in Aurous Hills and both died. Their eight-year-old son, Charlie, disappeared and his whereabouts have been unknown since then. Both the Wade and Evans families have been looking for him for so many years, but there has been no news. These two families are very powerful, especially the Evans family, who are wealthy, but they haven't been able to find the child yet, which means he is unlikely to be still alive." Maria said seriously, "If, according to what you just said, Charlie's identity is hidden in the second way, then no one will be able to find out. Even if wealth can be invincible, what good is it? It's simply impossible to get information from that very, very small number of people." After listening to Maria’s analysis, the old man couldn’t help but nod and say, “You are right, Miss, there is indeed such a possibility!” Maria suddenly remembered something and pointed to Charlie's string of local Eastcliff ID numbers and said, "Right, didn't you say that if it's the second encryption method, you can find out the encrypted information if you have a name and ID number at the same time? Then help me look up Charlie's name and ID number and see if we can find any results." "Yes!" The old man was also a bit excited and immediately opened an app on his laptop and entered Charlie's name and original ID number.

The two checked the results with great anticipation, only to find that the information given out within the system was still the same file of Charlie that had disappeared at the age of eight. Maria frowned “Why can’t we find out? Did someone give him a new identity?” She couldn’t help but ask herself, “The odds are that should be the case!” Maria guessed correctly, after Stephen had placed Charlie into the orphanage, he made a new identity for him and although the new identity was still called Charlie Wade, it was no longer the Charlie Wade of the Wade family in Eastcliff but the fatherless and motherless Charlie adopted by the Aurous Hills Orphanage. His account landed on the collective account of the Aurous Hills Orphanage, which is the case for all children adopted by the orphanage. So, naturally, he also had a new ID number, one that belonged in Aurous Hills. In this way, neither the Wade family nor the Evans Family, no one could find him anymore and the only one who could find him was Butler Stephen. The old man nodded and said, "That's right. If someone has given him a new identity, then his previous set of information will certainly not be able to be found. You must know the name and ID number of his new identity in order to find out. But if someone helped him settle in a foreign country, get a foreign account and foreign identity information, then he has actually encrypted his identity, not the identity he had before disappearing, but the new identity after disappearing." Maria added, "I understand. Twenty years ago, after Charlie disappeared, someone hid his whereabouts, gave him a new identity, and hid the file information of his new identity. So the previous Charlie, who disappeared at the age of eight, became a new Charlie, or a Charlie Wade with a different name, appearing in a new place, so that no one else could find him except for the one who encrypted his information in the first place." "Miss, it's not certain that the Charlie Wade you're looking for is this missing Charlie," the old man said hesitantly. "It's possible that they just happen to resemble each other. Children's features change as they grow and it's not uncommon for them to resemble others at a young age. But as they reach adolescence, their features may develop differently."
