Chapter 331: Master and Apprentice Meet
Zhang Chi felt a little strange in his heart, he actually wanted to ask about the Mystery Bureau in person, but before he could ask, Qin Lao brought him here, could it be that Qin Lao had already seen through his mind? It seems that he can't hide any secrets from this old man.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that Dean Han told Elder Qin in advance about his inquiry about the Mystery Bureau.
Zhang Chi said: "Who is Xiang Tianxing?"
Qin Lao said: "He is one of the founders of the Mystery Bureau and the first director of the Mystery Bureau. After a pause, he said, "I'm the second." β
Zhang Chi secretly thought in his heart, according to the information that Qin Lao told him before, his grandfather Zhang Qingfeng should also be one of the founders of the Mystery Bureau, but now it is estimated that he and Zhang Qingfeng are not related by blood, if this matter is known to Qin Lao, the old man is afraid that he will have to commit heart disease, and his own privacy is still his own digestion, don't take it out casually and scare people.
Qin Lao said: "There were seven people who founded the Mystery Bureau at the earliest, me, Zhang Qingfeng, Bai Yunsheng, Qin Chunqiu, Ding Wanshan, Xiang Tianxing, and Chu Hongzhou. β
Qin Lao stopped in front of a grave, his relaxed gaze fell on the tombstone, but he saw that the name of the deceased was engraved on the tombstone, the tomb of Chu Hongzhou, and there was no other description of this person's life.
"Xiang Tianxing and Chu Hongzhou are the core and original founders of the Mystery Bureau, the original intention of establishing the Mystery Bureau is to study the phenomenon of superpowers and control superpowers, all of us are closely united around Xiang Tianxing, and have done a lot of great things for the country and the people, but the development of things has gradually deviated. Xiang Tianxingren is as his name suggests, arrogant and arrogant, his eyes are empty, with the enhancement of his ability, his ambition continues to expand, we received instructions to control him, in the process, our Ding Wanshan and Qin Chunqiu were killed, Bai Yunsheng disappeared. In this battle, Xiang Tianxing's wife, Chu Hongzhou, died to protect him......"
Looking at Chu Hongzhou's tombstone, Qin Lao's face showed a look of pain and guilt.
Zhang Chi was keenly aware that there might be a big hidden truth in the matter of Chu Hongzhou's death.
Qin Lao walked to the side, not far away was the graves of Qin Chunqiu and Ding Wanshan, Qin Lao said: "Qin Chunqiu is my brother, I saw him killed by Xiang Tianxing with my own eyes, originally we had the opportunity to annihilate Xiang Tianxing, but Chu Hongzhou fought with his life to stop us, and Xiang Tianxing successfully escaped in that roundup." Your grandfather Zhang Qingfeng calculated that he would soon make a comeback to take revenge on the mysterious bureau, and sure enough, he guessed it, we gathered all our strength to deal with Xiang Tianxing, although he hit him hard, but suffered heavy losses. β
He looked around at the large and small tombs, and said in a low voice, "One hundred and thirty-seven people, all of these people were killed by Xiang Tianxing. Among them are my relatives, my friends, and most of the elites of the Secret Bureau have lost most of them, and their vitality has been greatly damaged since then......"
Zhang Chi put his hand on Qin Lao's shoulder to express comfort, the most painful thing in old age is the memory of the tragic past.
Qin Lao patted Zhang Chi's hand, shook his head and said: "Actually, when your grandfather persuaded me to retreat bravely, I rejected his proposal and accepted the position of director of the mysterious bureau, I want revenge, I want to revive the mysterious bureau." I hoped that your grandfather would continue to help me as he had done in the past, but he left suddenly, without warning, without even a word, as if he had evaporated from the world, and since then he has been on the top secret blacklist forever. β
Elder Qin sighed and said, "The person who blacklisted him is me. β
Zhang Chi couldn't judge whether what Qin Lao did back then was right or wrong, but judging from Qin Lao's current performance, he seemed to feel guilty about what happened back then. Zhang Chi said: "That Xiang Tianxing has never appeared again?"
Qin Lao shook his head and said, "I disappeared and never appeared again." The Bureau of Mystery began to rebuild under my leadership, and just when I thought revival was possible, a catastrophe of the times quietly came, and bad luck befell us again. β
Zhang Chi said: "Master, do you know about the reorganization of the Mystery Bureau now?"
Qin Lao said: "I know, a few years ago, they invited me out of the mountain and wanted me to preside over the overall situation, but I refused. I'm old, and I don't have enough strength to do it, so it's up to young people to toss this kind of thing. β
Another person entered the cemetery, wearing a black tunic with a solemn expression and a bouquet of flowers in his hand. When he saw Qin Lao, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then walked quickly to Qin Lao's face, bowed deeply to him and said, "Master!" He is Qin Lao's former protΓ©gΓ©, Chu Canghai, who is now the president of New World Group.
Qin Lao said indifferently: "I can't afford Mr. Chu's gift. β
Chu Canghai said: "One day as a teacher and a lifelong father, the master is kind to me and rebuilds, the sea is unforgettable!"
Qin Lao said: "Let the dead people listen to these words, at least they won't refute you." He walked towards the outside of the cemetery, and Chu Canghai hurriedly made way for him.
It was the first time Zhang Chi had seen the CEO of the New World Group, and he felt that this person had a modest face, and he didn't look like a big traitor, but how could people judge him by his appearance.
Chu Canghai smiled at Zhang Chi, and after seeing the old and the young leave, Chu Canghai came to Chu Hongzhou's tomb and put down the bouquet of flowers, and said softly: "Your favorite lily." β
Zhang Chi looked back at Chu Canghai before leaving, and he said to Qin Lao: "Master, what is his relationship with Chu Hongzhou?"
Qin Lao said: "He is Chu Hongzhou's nephew. When he said this, Qin Lao's brows furrowed, and a light of remorse flashed in his eyes.
He took Zhang Chi to the Northeast restaurant five kilometers away, he also had the idea of coming over to see, after all, the last time he came here was more than ten years ago, I didn't expect that the tattered Northeast restaurant was still open, and the storefront did not change much, because after the rush hour, there were not many customers in the store, Zhang Chi called a cubicle, and the two took off their shoes and went to the ondol.
Although Qin Lao is old, his actions are still neat, and he ordered a dish of the old village chief's appetizers, stewed sauerkraut and white meat, chicken stewed mushrooms, and ordered a bottle of Beikurabe You.
There are fewer people and three dishes are enough for them to eat, Zhang Chi poured a glass of wine for Qin Lao, and he didn't drink when he drove himself, so he got a can of Red Bull to accompany him.
Qin Lao took a sip of wine and said, "Zhang Chi, do you feel that you have been used by our Qin family?"
A straightforward sentence stunned Zhang Chi.
Qin Lao said: "Today, there are only the two of us, let's talk openly and honestly." Pick up the wine bottle and pour it over the glass in front of Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi couldn't stop it, and watched as the small half cup of Red Bull was converted into Chivas Regal.
"Master, I'm driving!" "Motorcycles are also motor vehicles, and drunk driving is always bad.
"Drink, turn around and let Luzhu pick us up. β
Zhang Chi didn't dare to refuse, so he could only take up the wine glass and drink a glass honestly, and actually made a taste of Chivas Regal, the wine was heroic, and he really didn't dare to communicate openly and honestly with the old man without borrowing some wine, and he still didn't know what to say after drinking a glass, Qin Junqing did take advantage of him, but it was fair to say that it should be mutually beneficial, and the Qin family was not sorry for him.
Qin Lao said: "I don't know about Luzhu taking you to Junqing, in fact, even if I know, I won't stop it." Qin Lao clinked glasses with Zhang Chi: "Dry!"
Zhang Chi picked up the wine glass and tilted his neck, he had to be honest when drinking with the old man, but seeing that Qin Lao only took a sip and put it down, Zhang Daxian's eyes widened, Mom, I was deceived by the old fox again, why don't you do it yourself?
Qin Lao said: "I have a total of five children, the death of death, now there is only one biological daughter left of Junqing, she is gifted and capable, but I have become a frightened bird because of my past experience, I just want her to spend her life as an ordinary person, do you understand?"
Zhang Chi nodded, pity the parents of the world, four of Qin Lao's five children have suffered misfortune, it is normal for him to have such thoughts.
Qin Lao smiled bitterly: "But sometimes the more you don't want your children to do anything, they just have to do something, are you the same?"
Zhang Daxian said: "I was a good boy when I was a child, my parents asked me to go east, I didn't dare to go west, and when I was ready to rebel, I found that I couldn't find anyone to fight." β
Qin Lao looked at Zhang Chi, and felt a sour feeling in his heart, the old friend knew that Sun should also feel relieved. He picked up his glass and said, "For your family, let's have a toast." β
Zhang Chi has a little more heart this time, he didn't finish it in one gulp, the old man's routine is too deep, you take a small sip of me, this glass has to have a little two or two wines, and I won't be able to find it after a while. But this time, Qin Lao actually drank the glass of wine, Zhang Chi saw that he quickly dried the wine, and rushed to pour Qin Lao full of wine.
Qin Lao said: "Boss, let's have another pot of meat." β
Zhang Chi smiled: "Master, we can't eat so much." β
Qin Lao said: "It's not easy to come all the way, you don't have to worry, I'll please, I have money, I can swipe my card here." β
Zhang Chixin said that it was my money, my hard-earned money!
Qin Lao said: "Luzhu is an obedient child, last time she took you to Junqing without my consent, Junqing was congenitally deficient, rebellious by nature, and insisted on cultivating despite my opposition, so it led to the current danger." When I gave you the stove, I was indeed tempting, and I was extremely conflicted. β
Zhang Chi took the initiative to pick up the wine glass and said, "Master, let's not mention this matter, I understand everything." "A father can't bear to watch his daughter suffer painfully, Qin Junqing forcibly cultivates, if there is no help from Yi Yuandan, she will definitely not be able to make up for the congenital deficiency, in fact, if Qin Lao made a straightforward request at the beginning, he would be more receptive.
They all know this matter, since they are all people who understand, Zhang Chi thinks that Qin Lao does not need to explain this matter thoroughly, Qin Junqing also threatens not to tell others about the transaction between them, but knowing that the daughter Mo Ruo's father, she can't hide it from Qin Lao at all.
Qin Lao said: "You wait for me to finish, that stove is actually your grandfather's." β
Zhang Chi was stunned when he heard this.
Qin Lao said: "Your grandfather was in a hurry, and some things were not taken away, this stove is one of them, it seems that you haven't observed it carefully, and his name is actually engraved on the inside of the hearth." β
Zhang Chi was a little embarrassed, the focus of the Dan furnace that he got the Qiankun Ruyi Gold was alchemy, and he didn't pay attention to this kind of side matter at all, in fact, he and Zhang Qingfeng may not really have any blood relationship, this matter cannot be confessed, it is related to Huang Chunxiao's reputation.
Qin Lao took out the bank card that Zhang Chi gave him earlier and put it on the Xiao Kang table: "Take it back, I don't want this money." β
Zhang Chi said: "Master, how can you change what you said was good?"
"It's originally your Zhang family's thing, how can I ask for your money, I was just joking with you at the time, I didn't expect that your kid was really capable, he earned 200,000 yuan in such a short time, this barbecue restaurant is so profitable?"
Zhang Chi replied honestly: "It's not that much, I have enough to do, of course I have to fulfill my promise to you for the old things." He handed the card over again.
Qin Lao said: "I'm not short of money, speaking of which, I still owe you a favor, Junqing's matter is troublesome to you, I respect you." He raised his glass.
Zhang Chi was flattered, quickly picked up the wine glass, and tilted his neck to dry, how can you let the old man respect himself, we have to do it first, and then look at Qin Lao took another sip and put it down, Zhang Daxian was a little confused by Qin Lao's routine of drinking wine and reality, old man, old man, you have too many routines, and you have to be poured too much by him if you drink it like this.
This wine can't be drunk in vain, Zhang Chi took the opportunity to say: "As far as I know, our academy is mainly sponsored by the New World Fund. β
Qin Lao said: "Do you want to ask, why can Chu Hongzhou's nephew become the patron of the academy?"
Zhang Chi nodded, Chu Canghai should be on the blacklist like himself.
Qin Lao gently put down the wine glass, stared out the window, and said for a long time: "Chu Hongzhou is a good person, if she hadn't arrived in time, we might all have died in the hands of Xiang Tianxing back then." β
Zhang Chi secretly thought in his heart, according to what Qin Lao said, Xiang Tianxing should be an immortal big devil, Chu Hongzhou is a good person, I remember that Qin Lao said that Chu Hongzhou died in order to cover Xiang Tianxing, could it be that she died in the hands of Qin Lao, it seems that this matter back then was very complicated, Zhang Chi did not dare to ask in detail.
Qin Lao said: "If Junqing looks for you again in the future, no matter what you ask, you can't agree." From beginning to end, he didn't say anything about alchemy.
In fact, Zhang Chi was also worried about this matter, Qin Junqing knew that he could refine the golden pill, and he would look for him in the future, Qin Junqing had a lot of pills in his hands, but he didn't know where she got them. Zhang Chi nodded and said, "Okay, if Senior Aunt looks for me again, I'll be the first to tell you." β
Qin Lao sighed and said, "You don't have to tell me, I don't want to know about her, and I can't live forever, you just need to promise me that I won't help her anymore." β
Endless loneliness and desolation emerge in my heart. He took a sip of wine from his wine glass and said softly, "You call Luzhu and ask her to pick us up." β
