Chapter 247: The Old Man's Entrustment

"The son of the Wu family in Yanjing invited the two of you to Yanjing as guests?" Old Man Li quietly listened to Chu Tian's words, but he looked very surprised.

"To be exact, the head of my Wu family invited the two of us. Chu Tian looked at Old Man Li and said: "Before, I helped Brother Wu Gang's wife deliver the baby and saved the lives of their mother and son, and now, our Li Jiahe and Wu families are ready to cooperate in an all-round way, so the head of the Wu family, that is, the father of Brother Wu Gang, wants to meet us and get to know each other first." ”

"That's fine," Old Man Li said with a slight mutter, "If you can really establish a good personal relationship with the principal of the Wu family, it will definitely be very beneficial to the future cooperation between the two sides." ”

When Old Man Li said this, he looked at Chu Tian and continued: "Xiao Chu, you and Xiao Dan must have talked about these things in private, you must know that the success of the cooperation between our Li family and the Wu family in the capital this time has deep strategic significance for the future of the entire Li family, so I hope that the two of you can make good use of this opportunity." ”

"Grandpa, you can rest assured, Ruodan and I both know what to do. Chu Tian looked at Old Man Li with a confident smile on his face and said.

"Well, Grandpa believes in you. ”

When Old Man Li said this, he suddenly entered deep contemplation and didn't speak again for a long time.

Seeing this, Chu Tian sat quietly beside him and did not say anything to disturb him.

After half a ring, the old man came back to his senses, and looked at Chu Tian with a serious and friendly expression: "Xiao Chu, this trip to Yanjing, grandpa has something he wants to get rid of you to do, but this matter must be kept secret from Xiao Dan for the time being." ”

"Grandpa, what is the matter? Do you still need to keep it a secret from Ruodan?" Chu Tian was very puzzled by Old Man Li's words.

"It's about the whereabouts of Xiao Dan's parents. Old Man Li slowly told Chu Tian the truth: "Counting up, Xiao Dan's parents have been missing for almost twenty years, and in these twenty years, the Li family has been trying all kinds of ways to find out the whereabouts of the two people, but there has been no progress.

Your trip to Yanjing this time is just in time to launch a new round of investigation into this matter. I won't ask you to tell Xiao Dan about this for the time being, because I'm afraid that unnecessary hope will ignite in her heart, and if you can't find out any news, she will be very sad at that time. ”

"I know grandpa, I won't tell her for a while. Chu Tian saw that Old Man Li had mentioned this matter to him, so he looked at the old man very suspiciously and said, "But, grandpa, can I go to Yanjing to investigate this matter and get the results out? How can I start my investigation?"

Until now, Chu Tian knew very little about the situation of Li Ruodan's parents, only that they all worked in the secret department of Huaxia at the beginning, and later both disappeared mysteriously, and other than that, Chu Tian no longer knew any information about them.

"After you go to Yanjing, find a way to get in touch with a person named Cheng Jie, and after a while, I will give you his contact information, and when you meet him, you can get answers to all your questions from him, and I won't tell you too much for the time being. Old Man Li said to Chu Tian slowly.

"Cheng Jie?" Chu Tian repeated the name, and then looked at Old Man Li with great curiosity and said, "Grandpa, who is this, and what kind of relationship does it have with Ruodan's parents?"

"This Cheng Jie, who is about fifty years old, used to be colleagues with Xiao Dan's parents, and now, he should have been a leader in a certain department in Huaxia, right?" Old Man Li fell into the memories and said to Chu Tian slowly: "It is said that Cheng Jie was the best friend of Xiao Dan's parents back then, and when he was young, he seemed to have pursued Xiao Dan's mother, but these were all many years ago.

Nearly twenty years ago, after Xiao Dan's parents suddenly disappeared, in addition to our Li family has been looking for their whereabouts through various channels, Cheng Jie is also looking for them through his own channels.

Because Xiao Dan's parents have been working in Yanjing for all those years, Cheng Jie should have mastered many important clues over the years, but because there has been no major breakthrough, he has rarely contacted me over the years. ”

"I see. Chu Tian listened to Old Man Li's words very carefully, then muttered for a moment, then nodded at him and said, "Okay, grandpa, this time I will go to Yanjing, I will definitely try to get in touch with this Uncle Cheng to see if I can find more clues to find the whereabouts of Ruodan's parents." ”

"Xiao Chu, this matter is not as simple as you imagined, the specific thing, when you meet Cheng Jie, you will naturally know. Old Man Li looked at Chu Tian and said to him very seriously: "Grandpa wants to get rid of you now, you must do your best to make a substantial breakthrough." ”

"Grandpa, I don't dare to promise you anything for the time being, but please rest assured, I will definitely do my best. Chu Tian looked at Old Man Li and said very solemnly.

"Well, grandpa believes in you, even if it is for Xiao Dan, you will definitely go all out. ”

Old Man Li nodded at Chutian with great satisfaction, then stood up, turned around and walked upstairs.

After a few minutes, the old man came downstairs again, holding a note in his hand.

"Here is Cheng Jie's contact information. Old Man Li handed the note in his hand to Chu Tian's hand and said to him: "After you go to Yanjing, although you can get in touch with him, in the next two days, I will call him first and tell him about your trip to Yanjing." ”

Chu Tian took the note in the old man's hand and slowly opened it.

Chu Tian saw that the information provided above was actually very simple, just an address and a phone number.

After carefully reading the handwriting on the note from beginning to end, Chu Tian carefully put it away.

Then the two of them sat down again and talked about business and topics for him.

It wasn't until more than three o'clock in the afternoon that Chu Tian said goodbye to Old Man Li and drove out of the Li family's villa.

Because he had to meet Chen Nan and Xia Xia in the evening, Chu Tian had to return to Haitian Group before this and find a way to ask Li Ruodan for a leave.

Fortunately, Li Ruodan is going to be busy until late tonight, which makes Chu Tian feel at ease to leave her.

Otherwise, the situation in Tianhai City is so complicated at the moment, and if Li Ruodan stays alone in the apartment, he is really a little uneasy.
