embarrassment

Ge Huan stood in front of the mirror, looking at his outfit today.Today he made an appointment with Wu Xuancheng, but the place was not Wu Xuancheng's house, nor Ma Yu's house.It is a coffee shop with a nice and quiet environment.Ge Huan didn't want to negotiate at Wu Xuancheng's home court, nor at his own home court. No matter where he was familiar with, some fatal tricks might be exposed.Therefore, choosing a place where both of them are unfamiliar is good for both of them.

Ge Huan didn't want to decide to cooperate with Wu Xuancheng so early.He wanted to talk about cooperation when he had enough bargaining chips in his hands, but a sudden phone call from Xu He forced Ge Huan to speed up the progress of his plan.

On that day, Ge Huanzheng and Ma Yu were in Ma Yu's apartment to study what was wrong with Chen Xuan in recent days. Just when the two of us couldn't figure it out, Ge Huan's iconic phone rang.But now Ma Yu has been able to adapt well.He is no longer as restless as Ge Huan was when he switched to 'Sha Matt Washing, Cutting and Blowing'.

"Hello." Seeing that it was Xu He, Ge Huan guessed that there might be some results.

"Hi, Brother Huan." Xu He's voice hesitated. "Brother Huan, is it convenient for you to talk on the phone now?"

Ge Huan looked at Ma Yu beside him, and said, "Well, it's convenient."

"Well, actually, Brother Huan. You asked me to investigate, I..." Xu He hesitated to speak.

Ge Huan frowned nicely, knowing that things might be troublesome, he lowered his tone: "It's okay, just tell me, and say what you find out."

Xu He was silent for a while before he seemed to have made up his mind: "Brother Huan, I'm sorry, I didn't find anything." Afterwards, he even relaxed his breathing, as if he was terrified of Ge Huan.After all, it has been more than half a month, but nothing has been found.

Ge Huan froze for a moment, then fell silent.He knew that this matter might be troublesome, but he didn't expect to find nothing.Ge Huan believed in Xu He's ability. Although Xu He looked like a gangster, he had his own intelligence network.

For them who walk around the streets and hang out in various bars and other entertainment places every day, they can know all kinds of things every day.Whether it's family secrets of dignitaries or nobles or some trivial gossip between neighbors in the street.

Although Xu He can use money to do things, he is a very strict person.Especially after that incident, Ge Huan absolutely believed that Xu He didn't have the guts to lie to himself.Then it is only possible that not many people knew what happened at the beginning, and then it was concealed by some powerful people or families, and all evidence was destroyed.

This may be the masterpiece of one person or one family, or it may be the result of the joint efforts of multiple people and multiple families.And the second point is the result that Ge Huan least wants to see.

So, who is his master? After living with his master for more than ten years, Ge Huan seldom heard his master mention his life experience.Occasionally, Ge Huan asked questions, but his master dismissed them perfunctorily.Over time, Ge Huan also knew that Zhou Zheng didn't want him to know, so he stopped asking.

And what does this have to do with his mother?Or what connection does it have with my father.

The more Ge Huan thought about it, the more he frowned, and Ma Yu, who was next to him, felt that Ge Huan's eyebrows could pinch a fly to death.

"Da Zhuang." Ma Yu tugged at Ge Huan.

Ge Huan seemed to wake up suddenly, first looked at Ma Yu blankly, and then quickly recovered his state.

Ge Huan could clearly hear Xu He's rapid breathing on the other end of the phone. It must have been because he hadn't spoken for so long that Xu He thought he was angry, and he didn't dare to bother him.Ge Huan rubbed the center of his brows wearily before continuing: "Go on."

Xu He adjusted his breathing, but his voice was still a little trembling: "Well. After you finished talking to me, I went to check the next day. I asked many people to know about the people that Mr. Zhou had contacted so far. Asked, no one knew who he was, where he came from, what he did. And—what was his name anyway."

Ge Huan's pupils shrank slightly: "Name?"

"Yes, most of the names mentioned by those people are different. But we are very sure that they are all referring to the same person." Xu He was cautious.

Ge Huan didn't speak.

Xu He had no choice but to continue: "In addition to these, we traced his whereabouts when he came to Jiangcheng City. But there is nothing. It seems that someone deliberately erased it, as if Mr. Zhou popped out of nowhere. The only way to know What's more, he came to Jiangcheng City with your mother, Aunt Wen." Xu He paused, and continued: "Mr. Zhou has been going out at a fixed time every year for more than ten years, right? The times are different, as if on purpose."

Ge Huan knew that Zhou Zheng often went out, and the time of going out was different every time.However, Ge Huan still concluded a rule from this.It's more like a rule than a summary of Zhou Zheng's annual travel time.

Zhou Zheng would never tell Ge Huan before going out every time, and Ge Huan would know that Zhou Zheng was away again only when Zhou Zheng didn't go home at night.Later, Ge Huan also got used to it.But he found that no matter how irregular Zhou Zheng's time is, he must be absent at a fixed time every year.

Every year around October [-]th, Zhou Zheng would disappear for a few days, maybe for several months at a time, maybe for a week, or even just one day.Zhou Zheng was very careful in covering it up, but Ge Huan, who had been with Zhou Zheng the longest, still found out after all these years.But Ge Huan never asked Zhou Zheng, nor where he went.Because he knew that even if he asked Zhou Zheng, he would only say that he was going to accept the task.

And this matter, only Ge Huan himself knows.

Ge Huan couldn't deny it: "Yes. Did you find out where he went?"

Xu He immediately answered: "Yes, yes. Mr. Zhou goes to Zhongjing at this time every year."

"Zhongjing?" Ge Huan thought of Wu Xuancheng.

"Yes. However, every time he entered Zhongjing, Mr. Zhou's whereabouts disappeared immediately."

"Been erased?" Ge Huan was very smart.

"Well, I can only find out that it was erased by a force in Zhongjing, but I can't find out who it is."

Ge Huan knew that Xu He's hand could not reach Zhongjing.So there was no question.But, why does Master go to Zhongjing every year?What is it for?Or for whom?

Ge Huan decided to put down the master's question first: "Then what about my mother."

"Aunt Wen's information is very simple. I'll email Brother Huan later. There's just one thing that's very strange."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

"Aunt Wen's information is too simple, and there is no information about Mr. Zhou."

Ge Huan clenched the phone tightly, trying to keep his voice unchanged: "Then?"

Sure enough, Xu He didn't find anything unusual: "There is also information about Brother Huan's father, which is very simple and perfect. Even the details are easy to find."

"Someone deliberately forged it?"

"It seems. It's just that I still haven't found out who did it." Xu He was a little guilty, but he still defended himself: "They did it too cleanly. I don't have many opportunities in Zhongjing."

"Yeah." Neither of them spoke.

"No more?" Ge Huan broke the silence.

"Yes... yes." Xu He seemed afraid that Ge Huan would get angry.

"Then hang up and send me everything you found."

After Ge Huan hung up the phone, he saw Ma Yu looking at him worriedly, wanting to say something but with a tangled expression like he was worried about something.

Seeing Ma Yu's troubled face, he suddenly felt a little better from the tyrannical mood just now.

Ge Huan briefly explained to Ma Yu what he just said.

Ma Yu suddenly jumped up in surprise: "What? You asked someone to check on Master and Aunt Wen?" Ge Huan then remembered that he hadn't told Ma Yu yet.

Ge Huan didn't bother to explain: "Yeah." Fortunately, Ma Yu is also smart, but he can roughly figure it out after passing it in his head.

"Then you now?" Ma Yu didn't continue, he knew that Ge Huan understood what he meant.

"Let's see what he finds out first. Maybe, this time, it's really time to have a good talk with Wu Xuancheng." Ge Huan lowered his head slightly, one corner of his mouth curled up, unable to see his expression clearly.But it can let Ma Yu know that Ge Huan must have the craziest expression and the craziest mentality at the moment.He knew that Ge Huan had found new fun.

As Ma Yu thought, although Ge Huan was very concerned about this matter, he also found it exciting.Ge Huan has always enjoyed this kind of excitement the most.Ge Huan felt a great sense of accomplishment every time the task was successful.So Ge Huan also wanted to treat this matter as a commission, a somewhat special and more exciting commission.

Just thinking about Ge Huan felt his blood surging.

After reading the materials, Ge Huan found that there was indeed nothing of value as Xu He said before.

Ge Huan pushed open the door of the box, and Wu Xuancheng had already arrived.Wu Xuancheng was still wearing an ironed suit, sitting there upright.Ge Huan only wore a white shirt and jeans, and he looked like a college student who had just graduated. Of course, Ge Huan was indeed.

Under Wu Xuancheng's sizing eyes, Ge Huan calmly sat across from him. Looking at the Lan Shan in front of Wu Xuancheng, he also ordered a glass of Lan Shan and some snacks.

Wu Xuancheng watched Ge Huan's move and didn't express anything.After a while, Ge Huan's coffee was served.

Only then did Wu Xuancheng say: "It seems that Mr. Ge has already thought about it, and now he gave me an answer. I hope it's what I want to hear."

Ge Huan smiled indifferently: "It seems that Mr. Wu has already guessed that this will happen." Wu Xuancheng nodded generously.

Ge Huan ate a snack: "Well, the taste is good, you can come again next time." He raised his head: "Mr. Wu is a smart person, let's just say it, I hate trouble."

"So first of all, I think we need a solid partnership."

"how?"

"We can first talk about the information we have so far. Of course, it doesn't need to be all, as long as it is beneficial to us." Ge Huan raised his eyebrows and acquiesced.

"We all want to know what happened 16 years ago. You should have found out. My parents disappeared 16 years ago. What I want to do is to find them." Wu Xuancheng said, as for the truth of the purpose, only he himself knows.

"You probably don't know one thing. What happened 16 years ago was the hands and feet of the Wu family in Zhongjing, that is, my family." Ge Huan's pupils shrank, and the atmosphere around him suddenly became very aggressive, as if Wu Xuancheng One more word, Ge Huan would pounce on him at any time.

Wu Xuancheng seemed unaware of it: "I knew about this matter five years ago. Since then, I have started to investigate this matter." At this time, Ge Huan regained his composure slightly, and listened quietly Wu Xuancheng continued talking.

"Five years ago, I found out that this matter had something to do with my grandfather through an accident. There was no influence at that time, so I couldn't investigate this matter by myself."

Ge Huan sneered: "Aren't you doing well in your family? How come there are things you don't know about." Ge Huan's tone was malicious, and Ge Huan didn't bother to hide it.

Wu Xuancheng just glanced at Ge Huan indifferently and continued: "The matter of the big family can't be explained so simply." Ge Huan saw that Wu Xuancheng didn't seem to be doing as well as he imagined, and Ge Huan was delighted Yes, sometimes Ge Huan felt that his mind was twisted: "Say it."

"Later, with the limited resources I could use at that time, I only found out that the cause of this incident was the dispute between the Wu family and the Ge family." Speaking of the Ge family, Wu Xuancheng paused, and looked at Ge Huan.

Ge Huan rolled his eyes: "Don't look at me like that, I don't know them, if I really have something to do with them, how can I still be tricked by you here?"

Wu Xuancheng didn't express his opinion on this, and he didn't know whether he believed it or not.

Afterwards, Ge Huan didn't interrupt, and let Wu Xuancheng finish the whole story.

Wu Xuancheng found out that the Ge family and the Wu family had a bad relationship from the previous generation, and they had clear stances both in business and socially.However, the strange thing is that in the beginning, the Ge and Wu families used to be the two families with the best relationship. Later, for some reason, this situation was created today.Later, the second son of the Ge family eloped with a woman, and the head of the Ge family angrily severed the relationship between father and son.

Sixteen years ago, the Ge family and the Wu family, including Zhou Zheng and an unknown third-party force, started an extremely fierce competition.At that time, the entire business community was in panic, for fear that if one was not careful, the family would go bankrupt.It is also that year.Wu Xuancheng's parents were called back to their home, but suddenly disappeared.Wu Xuancheng guessed that this might be done deliberately by the Patriarch of the Wu family, wanting everyone to think that the two had disappeared or died, including Wu Xuancheng.

Then, Ge Huan's mother was supposed to live leisurely in Jiangcheng that year, but a group of people approached her, and Zhou Zheng also disappeared for a while.Then Bian Mengwen's physical condition declined rapidly, and finally died of illness. Ge Huan was adopted by Zhou Zheng.

Five years ago, Wu Xuancheng's tricks were discovered by Wu Junwei, the head of the Wu family.Wu Junwei was furious, and finally let it go for unknown reasons.Wu Xuancheng guessed that his parents secretly manipulated it.

From this incident, Wu Xuancheng realized his insignificance and incompetence, so he decided to start his own business, and it was in Shangquan City, which is far away from Zhongjing.On the surface, Wu Xuancheng had given up on investigating this matter, but secretly he never gave up.
