"Mr. Qiao, let's go upstairs, please, listen to me explain to you slowly. ”

Mr. Anji pulled Qiao Tianyu out of the breezy underground cellar and came to the study on the first floor.

Mrs. Angie brought them a cup of coffee and withdrew, leaving the two of them alone in the study.

"Mr. Qiao, please don't be angry, it's really helpless to invite you over in this way today. ”

After speaking, Mr. Anji turned around and walked back to the bookshelf, took out an old photo from a book, and handed it to Qiao Tianyu.

"Mr. Qiao, look at this photo, do you know each other?"

Qiao Tianyu took the photo and took a look, only to see that it was an old black and white photo, the paper was a little yellowed, and it looked a little old.

Looking at the photo, it should be a family photo.

There are a total of eight people with oriental faces in the photo.

One of them, an old man in a sixtieth year, sat in the middle, and next to the old man was a middle-aged couple in their forties, and a young couple in their twenties.

And there were two little boys about ten years old and a little girl of four or five years old beside them.

Judging from the clothes of the old man in the middle, there is no doubt that their family should be Chinese.

"This is left by the previous owner of the manor, right?" Qiao Tianyu looked up and asked.

"Yes. Mr. Angie nodded.

Huh?

What's going on?

Didn't the former owner of the manor keep only the big box?

Why did another photo pop up?

"Mr. Qiao, I'm sorry, but I actually lied to you yesterday. Mr. Angie said frankly.

"What the hell is going on?" Qiao Tianyu was even more confused.

"Actually, that's true. "Mr. Angie has only now told the truth.

"Actually, we didn't buy this manor more than ten years ago, to be precise, this manor has never been mine, its real owner is my boss. ”

"Your boss?" Qiao Tianyu became more and more confused the more he listened, "What's going on?"

"Yes, my boss!" Mr. Angie nodded vigorously, "Actually, my boss arranged all of this. ”

"Let me introduce myself first. Mr. Angie took a business card out of his pocket and handed it over.

"My name is Lucas Angie, and I'm President of Merck Automotive Group, but I have to start more than a decade ago. ”

"More than 10 years ago, I was still an ordinary director of the company, and one day the boss suddenly came to me and signed an equity transfer contract with me, transferring all his shares in the company to my name and holding them on my behalf. ”

"And the boss also transferred the manor to my name, and since then the boss has disappeared without a trace. ”

"It wasn't until yesterday noon, when I was resting in my bedroom after being rescued by your companion, that the boss reappeared after many years. ”

"The boss asked me to tell you that there was a big box in the cellar, but he told me that you must not let the big box take it with you. ”

"Has that big box been in the wine cellar?" Qiao Tianyu asked.

"No, no, there are never any big boxes in the cellar, and I wondered when there were big boxes in the cellar?" replied Mr. Angie.

"But when my wife went down to take a look, she really found the big box, I guess it should be the boss just put it recently, I remember not having it a few days ago!"

"Oh, what about later?" Qiao Tianyu asked anxiously.

"Then last night there was a big box stolen, and then the boss showed up again, and he asked me to call you and tell you about the big box being stolen. ”

"You mean that you injured the thief yesterday, but your boss taught you to say that?" Qiao Tianyu interrupted Mr. Anji and asked in surprise.

"No, no, no, the theft of the big box last night, and the fact that I wounded the thief with a gun, are all facts, but the phone call was made to me by the boss. Mr. Angie explained.

"But Mr. Qiao, I think I should remind you that judging from the size and movement of the thief, it is very similar to the girl next to you, the female doctor who saved me!"

"Oh, I see. Qiao Tianyu was not surprised by this result.

"I'll go on. Mr. Angie said.

"Then the boss showed up again tonight, and he arranged these things for tonight. ”

"He asked my wife to call you and say I was missing and asked you to come by yourself, and then take you to the underground cellar to see the T-shirt and the willow branch. ”

"The boss said, if you can find out on the spot that I'm lying to you, let me tell you these words. ”

"If you can't find out, don't say anything, just send you away. ”

"Oh. Qiao Tianyu nodded.

Using a traditional game layout in his hometown, Qiao Tianyu seemed to understand something.

"Then what's going on with this photo?" Qiao Tianyu shook the photo in his hand.

"Oh, it was given by the boss. Mr. Angie explained.

"The boss said, after confirming your identity, let me give you this photo, and you will understand what it means. ”

After listening to Mr. Anji's introduction, Qiao Tianyu was even more convinced that this photo was likely to be related to Qiao Hanfei.

And the "boss" that Mr. Anji is talking about should be Qiao Hanfei's family that Qiao Tianyu is looking for.

"If I'm not mistaken, your boss should be from Huaxia like me, right?"

In order to verify his guess, Qiao Tianyu continued to ask.

"Yes, the owner is from Huaxia. Mr. Angie nodded affirmatively.

"I want to see your boss!" Qiao Tianyu's eyes were firm.

"The boss said that it is not difficult for you to meet him, but only if you first help solve the current predicament of Merck Automotive Group. Mr. Angie said.

"If you can solve Merck's woes, he'll come out to see you. ”

"So you're waiting for me here!" Qiao Tianyu thought to himself.

It seems that it is not easy to see the boss!

However, Qiao Tianyu is sure that as long as he can meet the boss, the "secret of the old patriarch" that has been bothering Qiao Tianyu may be solved!

Thinking of this, Qiao Tianyu nodded vigorously.

"Okay, let's talk about the predicament of Merck Automotive Group. ”

"Great!"

Seeing that Qiao Tianyu was willing to help, Mr. Anji happily ran to the desk to bring a large stack of materials and handed them to Qiao Tianyu.

"Merck Auto Group has always been the fourth largest auto group in the United States, but in recent years, with the entry of Japanese and German cars into the U.S. market, Merck Auto Group has been greatly impacted, the market has shrunk, and its business has declined rapidly. ”

"I know that if we don't change, Merck will soon be eliminated from the market, so I have made great progress in recruiting scientific and technological talents and increasing R&D investment in powertrain, fuel cells and other aspects. ”

However, half a year ago, the group's bad luck came one after another. First of all, the company's production line has been a series of assembly line fires, polishing workshop explosions, workers poisoning and other incidents. ”

"Then some people attacked the stock market and frequently attacked the group's shares, and the stock price suffered one after another, and the stock price fell by 20% in the last month, causing panic ....... the group's management."
