After entering the living room of the Cheng family, the people in the family quickly served tea.

Chu Tian sat on the sofa in the living room and didn't wait too long, and a middle-aged man in a suit walked in from outside.

Although this man was close to fifty years old, he did not look much different from a young man.

Chu Tian saw that this person was tall, with broad shoulders, blazing eyes, and a righteous face.

Presumably, this person must be Cheng Jie, who has contacted him by phone more than once before.

"Uncle Cheng. Chu Tian saw the middle-aged man walking towards the sofa, so he stood up and said.

"You're Xiao Chu, right?" Cheng Jie looked at Chu Tian with a smile, then waved his hand at him and said, "Sit down and have a cup of tea first, and then the two of us will talk in detail later." ”

With that, Cheng Jie and Chu Tian sat down on the sofa again.

Subsequently, Cheng Jie personally poured a cup of tea on the teacup in front of him.

"Uncle Cheng, I suddenly came to visit you today, didn't I delay your work?" Chu Tian saw that Cheng Jie had rushed back from outside for his own reasons, so he asked.

"I won't delay my work. Cheng Jie looked at Chu Tian with a smile and said, "I don't happen to have any important matters to deal with today, and after receiving your call, I immediately rushed back from the army." ”

Cheng Jie said this, groaned slightly, then looked at Chu Tian and continued to smile: "By the way, Xiao Chu, you must have a photo of Ruodan's girl in your mobile phone, right? ”

"Uncle Cheng, I have a photo of Ruodan on my phone, I'll show it to you now. ”

Chu Tian said, and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Usually, when the two of them get home, they will take some selfies or something like other young people when they have nothing to do. Therefore, there are really many group photos of the two people in Chutian's mobile phone.

After flipping out the photo album of his mobile phone, Chu Tian got up and handed the mobile phone to Cheng Jie.

Cheng Jie put his phone down, lowered his head and watched it carefully.

"I haven't seen her for more than ten years, but the little girl has grown so big. Cheng Jie saw the icy and jade girl on the mobile phone screen, and couldn't help but sigh: "Look at the appearance of this girl, it is simply carved out of the same mold as her mother when she was young."

Hearing Cheng Jie's words, Chu Tian couldn't help laughing.

"Uncle Cheng, I heard...... When you were younger, you used to pursue Ruodan's mother!"

"En?" Cheng Jie raised his head when he heard this, and looked at Chu Tian with very surprised eyes: "This matter, did Old Man Li tell you?"

"yes. Chu Tian nodded with a smile and said, "That grandfather told me about your youth, and he once mentioned it. ”

"Oh, hehe. Cheng Jie's resolute face couldn't help but show a shy smile at this moment: "Hey, it's all some old things, what are you doing with it now." ”

Seeing that Cheng Jie didn't seem to want to bring up the past again, Chu Tian smiled slightly and didn't ask about it anymore.

The two of them sat on the sofa in the living room and drank tea for a while, chatting briefly about some gossip.

During this period, Cheng Jie asked Chutian some things about Old Man Li and Li Ruodan.

Then, Cheng Jie got up and brought Chu Tian into his study.

After entering the study, Cheng Jie closed the door and sat down on the sofa with Chu Tian.

"Chu Tian, I really can't imagine that you are all cultivators like us. After sitting down, Cheng Jie looked at Chu Tian and said with emotion: "Twenty years ago, when Ruodan's niece's parents gave birth to her, they planned to take her to practice with her when she grew up. ”

"It turns out that Ruodan's parents are really cultivators. Although Chu Tian had a similar conjecture before, such a conjecture was just a flash in his mind, but he didn't expect that things were really like this.

"yes. Cheng Jie nodded at Chutian and said: "Ruodan's parents and I are also brothers, we have been cultivating together since very early days, and later worked together in the security department of Huaxia, and the relationship has always been very good, until that year, the two of them went out on a very confidential mission, and then they both disappeared." ”

"Uncle Cheng, do you know what mission Ruodan's parents were on to cause their disappearance?" Chu Tian felt that the news he was about to get must be crucial, so he looked at Cheng Jie without blinking his eyes and asked.

"That time, the two of them carried out a mission together on the side of the Huaxia Security Bureau. Cheng Jie asked, fell into the memory, and slowly said to Chu Tian: "Originally, the working relationship between the three of us has always been subordinate to the army, but that year, we were suddenly transferred to the National Security Bureau to perform some confidential tasks.

As for the specific tasks that the two of them performed at that time, I still don't know very well, and there are some things that no one else can know except for the accident of the person concerned. ”

"Uncle Cheng, in this way, don't we even have the clue to investigate?" Chu Tian couldn't help frowning when he heard this.

"Oh, that's not what I said. Cheng Jie came back to his senses from his memories and said to Chu Tian with a smile: "Although I have never been able to know what mission the two of them are going to perform from official channels, over the years, I have analyzed through side knocks and various information that can be gathered, and now, I can basically get a conclusion that is inseparable." ”

"What's the conclusion?" Chu Tian was eager to know what Cheng Jie would say to him next.

"If my judgment is not wrong. Cheng Jie pondered slightly, and then continued to say to Chu Tian: "Ruodan's parents, that is, my two old comrades-in-arms, should not really be called always, but ...... They hadn't completed all of their missions, so they didn't come back to their lives. ”

"The task hasn't been completed yet?" After hearing Cheng Jie's conclusion, Chutian frowned again: "What kind of task is it that will be gone for more than ten years, and it has always been no news?"

At this moment, Chutian really didn't dare to accept the conclusion that Cheng Jie had just said.
