The final part was a warning marked in red font: "Remind my son, before reuniting with us, he must not reveal any information about his identity to anyone, lest it bring calamity upon him. Rember! Rember!!!!"
"Great, I’ve been investigating my background for so long without any clues, and now I will finally know who I am and who my parents are."
Tang Ming tried to calm his emotions and slowly sat down.
"Don’t get too excited yet, I understand how you’re feeling right now. When I first heard my parents were looking for , I felt exactly this anxious and expectant."
While consoling Tang Ming, Tang Ming said helplessly, "Timing is the most important thing right now."
"Yes, yes, yes. When did you receive this letter?"
Tang Ming asked hastily.
"I received it yesterday, so I ca over to see you imdiately."
Tang Ming reminded urgently, "According to the letter, you must reach the designated place and et soone within three days, otherwise, they will leave. You must set off now."
"Three days? Does that an I have to get to this place called Wangjiao Town by tomorrow?"
Tang Ming beca conflicted, "But where is Wangjiao Town?"
"I don’t know either."
Tang Ming shook his head.
"Damn it. You rest first, I’ll go find soone to ask."
Tang Ming gave a quick instruction, then rushed outside impatiently.
He was finally about to uncover the mystery of his identity. Judging by the content of the letter, Tang Ming knew his parents valued him very much. Because of so special reasons, they had to place him in an orphanage, but they made many preparations to reunite with him.
It might be because the crisis wasn’t over yet, or because his parents worried about his safety, they wanted him to learn about his identity in this indirect way, rather than informing him directly in the letter.
Tang Ming could understand his parents’ approach. After all, there’s always the risk of the letter getting lost. If they wrote everything in the letter and soone else saw it, there might be trouble.
It was just like now; Tang Ming was the first person to see the letter.
Tang Ming left the booth and imdiately ran to Chen Cang’s office.
"Wow, Ming, how did you finish so quickly?"
Seeing Tang Ming appear, Chen Cang, who was reading, looked surprised: "Are you really the legendary quick-shooter, finishing this fast?"
"Quick your damn self."
Tang Ming glared at Chen Cang fiercely: "I ask you, do you know where Wangjiao Town is?"
"What?"
Chen Cang looked bewildered and shook his head: "I’ve never heard of it."
"Impossible! Wangjiao Town is a small town in the vicinity of Songlan City, how could you not have heard of it?"
Tang Ming stared angrily at Chen Cang.
"Although I’m a native of Songlan City, I’ve always lived in the city. There are several tourist ancient towns nearby, but no Wangjiao Town."
Chen Cang looked at Tang Ming with grievance. Even local people don’t know everything about their area at all tis.
"Computer, quickly help search for this Wangjiao Town on it."
Tang Ming directly kicked Chen Cang off the office chair and impatiently began to search on the computer, but the result was...
"Why isn’t it here?"
After searching for a long ti, Tang Ming couldn’t find any information about Wangjiao Town.
"Ming, what has happened? Why are you looking for this Wangjiao Town?"
Chen Cang asked incomprehensively as he watched Tang Ming.
"I have an urgent matter to attend to there, but I only know that Wangjiao Town is around Songlan City, without knowing its exact location."
Tang Ming said with a very unpleasant expression.
"Where did you hear about this town then?"
Chen Cang asked puzzledly, watching Tang Ming.
"From a letter written eighteen years ago."
Tang Ming answered truthfully.
"I... Brother, an eighteen-year-old letter ans soone wrote it eighteen years ago, right?"
Chen Cang rolled his eyes speechlessly: "How could sothing from so many years ago still be found?"
"Yes, is there a problem?"
Tang Ming looked blankly at Tang Ming.
"My dear Ming! In today’s tis, even if compared to just one year ago enormous changes can occur, let alone eighteen years ago. Songlan City eighteen years ago can’t be compared to now. The Wangjiao Town you’re looking for is probably already demolished."
Chen Cang sighed helplessly.
"That... should not be, right?"
Tang Ming’s expression changed slightly.
"Why wouldn’t it be?"
Chen Cang rolled his eyes again, and began tapping on the computer: "Look, ten years ago, Songlan City was just an average fourth-tier city. Its scale has grown more than ten tis now, and many nearby counties and towns have developed into city areas. Eighteen years ago... there aren’t even computer records; where are you going to look?"
"Then what do I do?"
Tang Ming widened his eyes, feeling a bit frustrated inside. He originally thought he could learn about his background, but didn’t expect this outco.
The person who wrote the letter eighteen years ago probably never expected such imnse developnt and change over the years.
"Don’t worry just yet, let think."
Seeing Tang Ming so anxious, Chen Cang quickly comforted him, then suddenly had an idea: "Got it. There might not be records on the computer, but you can ask so elders. We young people won’t know about eighteen years ago, but the elders who have lived through that era will have so mories, no matter how things have changed."
"Right, right, why didn’t I think of that? I’ll go ask people now."
Tang Ming nodded repeatedly, grabbed the letter, and got up to leave.
"Hey, who are you going to ask?"
Chen Cang quickly grabbed Tang Ming, "Do you know how many people in today’s Songlan City are from out of town? Not every elderly person has lived in Songlan City for eighteen years."
"This..."
"Go ask that chubby guy’s grandfather, Old Master Zhou. He’s a native of Songlan and a Martial Artist with an extraordinary mory. He should know about this town."
Chen Cang suggested with a smile.
"Yes! You’re so smart."
Tang Ming suddenly realized, and while running out, he shouted: "Chen Cang, I’ll owe you one, and treat you to a al when I get back."
"Be careful, make sure... Ah, wait a minute!"
Halfway through speaking, Chen Cang’s expression changed dramatically: "Tomorrow’s the college entrance exam, what now?"
When Chen Cang chased outside, Tang Ming had already disappeared.
In the study of the Zhou family’s estate, a servant was boiling water to make tea.
Old Master Zhou sat in a chair, looking at Tang Ming with confusion: "Why is Young Master Tang suddenly asking about Wangjiao Town?"
"It’s an urgent matter, I need to go there imdiately. Do you know this place?"
Tang Ming watched Old Master Zhou anxiously as he asked, having already explained his purpose, now it depended on whether Old Master Zhou knew of the place.
"I do know this place, but..."
Old Master Zhou hesitated to speak further.
