Chapter 671: Overcoat
"An octogenarian in poor physical condition?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng's heart moved, and he turned his head to Meng Yi, who had already cheered up from all thoughts and was listening attentively to the conversation between the two at this time, and asked, "Your grandfather is old this year?" ”
Hearing this, Meng Yi hurriedly replied: "If I'm not mistaken, my grandfather should have just passed his seventy-fifth birthday a month ago, and he is still far from being eighty!" And although he is old, his physical condition has always been very good, and it is impossible for him to be sick to the point of needing help in such a short period of time! ”
"Hmm......"
After listening to Meng Yi's answer, Lin Cheng held his chin and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Then do you remember any easily recognizable features on your grandfather's face?" Like scar tattoos and stuff like that......"
"My grandfather has lived in the biology laboratory for almost half of his life, do you think he has the leisure to catch up with the trend and play with tattoos?"
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Meng Yi couldn't help but roll his eyes at him, "And he has always been extremely cautious about his work, and he has never left any scars on his face, if you want to talk about the characteristics, it is probably the small black mole on his chin, and it is not easy to notice if you are not careful......"
"Mole...... Mole ......"
After listening to Meng Yi's description, Wang Hu on the side suddenly fell into deep thought, and at the same time, he muttered softly from time to time.
Seeing Wang Hu's actions, Lin Cheng and Meng Yi's hearts suddenly moved together, stopped talking, and quietly waited for Wang Hu's response.
"Moles are a feature that is hard to notice at night, but ......"
After a while, Wang Hu, who finally remembered something, frowned tightly and finally spoke, "If you compare it according to the information provided by Director Meng just now, I have the impression that there really is such an old man who is roughly the same age, I remember that this old man should be wearing a gray-black coat at the time, and he didn't seem to be very familiar with the other three old researchers, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end, just silently followed everyone alone......
Hearing this, Meng Yi's expression suddenly changed, and he grabbed Wang Hu's left hand and asked urgently, "Gray and black coat?" Is there still a hood in the back?! ”
Being tightly held by Meng Yi with his left hand, Wang Hu also sensed the other party's eagerness, and hurriedly replied: "Okay...... Seems like yes, right? I remember very well that the style of that coat was a bit casual, and it didn't fit very well on the old man, but I thought about it later, it's the end of the world now, and some of them are good to wear, how can there be so many new clothes for us to pick and choose......"
"Casual coat...... It's really grandpa! Grandpa even went to Pingcheng with Mr. Cheng......"
After receiving Wang Hu's affirmative reply, Meng Yi's expression that had been tense for a long time suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't help muttering to himself.
"A casual coat with a hood? Dear Director Meng, your vision of picking clothes for your grandfather seems to be up for debate......"
Seeing Meng Yi's actions, Lin Cheng finally determined that this lonely old man in a casual coat should be Meng Yi's grandfather, Meng Hai!
"You know what?"
Throwing a roll of his eyes at him, knowing that his grandfather was likely to have been taken to Pingcheng by Mr. Cheng, Meng Yi's mood after hanging for a long time finally calmed down at this time, "That's my father's coat...... My parents died before the end of the world, and my father's clothes were all taken home by my grandfather to wear on his own, partly because he didn't like waste very much, and partly because he ......"
"I see."
Without letting Meng Yi continue, Lin Cheng nodded lightly, and then said: "Then the situation is very clear now, the person I wanted to find and the person you are looking for are no longer here, and there is little point for us to stay in this place anymore, whether we want to or not, we must go to that Pingcheng next!" ”
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Meng Yi hurriedly nodded, "En...... You make the decision, I'll listen to you all! ”
Wang Hu on the side opened his mouth after hearing Lin Cheng's words, obviously wanting to say something, but his mouth opened and closed, and he didn't say anything in the end.
Seeing Wang Hu's hesitant virtue, Lin Cheng couldn't help but shake his head and said: "There is no one else here, just say what you want, don't be like a mother-in-law!" ”
"Ahem......"
Hearing this, Wang Hu's old face suddenly turned red, but he finally spoke, "That...... I...... Can I go back to Pingcheng with you? This place has been completely breached by you, and I, the captain of the guard responsible for protecting the ground station, should sit at the end without accident, besides, after listening to what happened to Director Meng and her grandfather, even if I don't get expelled, I don't want to work for such a group of people anymore, I just want to go back to Pingcheng to get an ordinary errand, and I don't want to get involved in these complicated situations anymore......"
Hearing Wang Hu's request, Lin Cheng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and teased him: "Oh? Didn't you keep saying that Director Meng was the person you respected the most? Don't you want to help her save her grandfather? Isn't that the same as farting? ”
"No...... No! ”
Hearing this, Wang Hu's face suddenly changed, and he waved his hand again and again: "How could I let Director Meng face this kind of thing alone?" I really want to retire, but this is based on helping Director Meng solve all the troubles, otherwise, even if I take root in Pingcheng, it will be difficult to live with peace of mind! ”
"No, no, no......"
Seeing that Wang Hu was almost about to swear blood under Lin Cheng's agitation, Meng Yi hurriedly waved his hand and glared at Lin Cheng fiercely, and then said to Wang Hu: "I will solve my own affairs, don't get involved!" Since you have the intention to retire, then from now on, you should completely dissociate yourself from these things, understand? ”
"Yes...... But ......"
Hearing Meng Yi say this, Wang Hu looked anxious and wanted to say something, but suddenly felt that Lin Cheng patted him on the shoulder, and then heard him say: "Okay, okay, Mr. Cheng and those researchers are indeed not something you can participate in, I just teased you just now, you must not take it seriously!" ”
Speaking of this, Lin Cheng raised his wrist and glanced at the time, and continued: "But this doesn't mean that we don't need you at all, we still don't know anything about the situation in Pingcheng, and even if we do, we still don't know how to get to Pingcheng, we need your help......"
"Right...... Yeah! ”
Hearing Lin Cheng say this, Wang Hu immediately reacted, and no longer mentioned helping Meng Yi save her grandfather, and said to Meng Yi along Lin Cheng's words: "Although Pingcheng is famous, but after such a heavy snowfall, it is not easy to find it, but you can rest assured, I used to be an old hunter, and I am best at looking for clues of prey in waist-deep snowy mountains, with me, I will definitely take you to Pingcheng in the shortest time!" ”
