Chapter 31: The Past

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief.

Liu Yuntao's impression of Li Ergou is not very good, as a big boss who walked out of Wolong Village, he has never made any contribution to his hometown.

Another point is that when he asked his third uncle to help his son find his body, Li Ergou always felt that he seemed to be deliberate, and his motives were not pure at all.

The scheming is so deep that people have to guard against it.

"Brother Ergou, Boss Liu, please eat, saying that the person sent to pick us up has arrived at the entrance of the village, should we go?"

At this time, the fat man also came to the courtyard and said to Li Ergou.

"Let's go! The big boss invited him to dinner, why didn't he go? Li Ergou glanced at the fat man and asked rhetorically.

Although he doesn't like Liu Yuntao very much, it's always hard not to go to dinner when people invite them to dinner, at least he has to figure out Liu Yuntao's purpose.

After Li Ergou and the fat man washed up, the people sent by Liu Yuntao also arrived at their door.

After Li Ergou said hello to his mother Zhou Yun, he and the fat man got into Liu Yuntao's BMW X5 off-road vehicle.

Zhou Yun inevitably told Li Ergou a few words, and after returning to the company, he should pay more attention to a girl named Lin Baoer.

That's the daughter-in-law who has not yet passed the door, and it will not hurt him to know him in advance.

Of course, Li Ergou wouldn't tell his mother that he also liked Lin Bao'er, and the two had known each other for a long time, otherwise Zhou Yun would have to let him take Sister Bao'er home.

The place to eat was booked by Liu Yuntao in a hotel in Yangcheng, and when Li Ergou and they arrived, it was already noon.

After entering the private room, Li Ergou found that Liu Yuntao had been waiting there for a long time, and in addition to him, there was also an old man in Tang costume, sitting in the innermost position.

"Big nephew, I can be regarded as looking forward to you, sit down, let's talk while eating." As soon as he entered the door, Liu Yuntao immediately said enthusiastically.

After Li Ergou sat down with the fat man, Liu Yuntao began to introduce the old man in Tang costume on the side: "Big nephew, this is Zhong Lao, uncle can have today, but it all depends on him." ”

Li Ergou glanced at the old man in Tang costume curiously, and the doubts in his heart were also solved.

Li Ergou still thought it was strange before, how did Liu Yuntao go from a rural baby to a business tycoon in Yangcheng in only 20 years?

Now it seems that this guy met a nobleman to be able to soar so quickly.

"Boss Liu, if you have anything to say, just say it!" Li Ergou got straight to the point.

Businessmen are unprofitable, he doesn't want to have too much intersection with Liu Yuntao, not to mention Liu Yuntao's big nephew, who always gives Li Ergou a feeling of a weasel greeting a chicken.

"Big nephew, it's a bit raw to call Boss Liu! I called you here today mainly to tell you about your father, Li Chengde. Liu Yuntao poured Li Ergou a cup of tea and smiled.

"What did you say?"

As soon as he heard what he said, Li Ergou instantly became excited. Even the fat man on the side was not calm, and looked at Liu Yuntao with two eyes.

Obviously, Liu Yuntao's words also aroused his interest.

"Big nephew, I'm sure you're curious, what happened on the construction site twenty years ago? And how did your father disappear? ”

Liu Yuntao said as he took out an old photo and put it on the table.

Li Ergou only glanced at it, and his heart began to be uneasy.

The photo shows two young men, one of whom is Liu Yuntao in front of him, and the other is Li Chengde, Li Ergou's father.

Although Li Chengde mysteriously disappeared 20 years ago, there are still many photos of him left at home, and Li Ergou is no stranger to his father's appearance.

"Yes, what are you trying to express?" Li Ergou nodded and asked.

Although Liu Yuntao had hidden it well enough, Li Ergou still saw a trace of pride in the depths of his eyes.

Besides, after experiencing the events of the past few days, Li Ergou is no longer the simple child he used to be, how can he easily believe Liu Yuntao's words.

Seeing Li Ergou's reaction, Liu Yuntao picked out without a trace out of the corner of his eyes.

"Eldest nephew, your father and I are not only co-workers, but also brothers, and we have a lifelong friendship."

Liu Yuntao stood up, walked to Li Ergou's side, pulled a chair and sat down, and then said: "You only know that your father disappeared on the construction site of Fengyuan Building, but no one told you that your father had been to a place before he disappeared." ”

"Where?"

Li Ergou asked almost reflexively.

"Kunlun Mountain, and I went with your father and a few other people." Liu Yuntao sighed and said.

"And then?"

Li Ergou's face sank and he asked anxiously.

He had never heard of such a thing before, twenty years ago his father was just an out-and-out farmer, what did he do in Kunlun Mountain?

"I don't know the specifics, when your father went to Kunlun Mountain, he entered a mysterious cave, and soon after he came back, there was a problem with the construction site of Fengyuan Building, and then your father disappeared." Liu Yuntao said.

After saying that, he leaned back in his chair, depressed and sad.

Li Ergou and the fat man glanced at each other, and they both saw a trace of doubt in each other's eyes.

The fat man probably saw that Li Ergou's heart fluctuated a lot at this time, and it was difficult for him to think rationally, so he continued to ask, "So what do you mean?" ”

"I think Brother Chengde should have known that something would happen to him before he disappeared, otherwise, he wouldn't have behaved like that." Liu Yuntao said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ergou's face suddenly changed.

Not to mention that Liu Yuntao felt strange, even he himself couldn't figure it out.

If it was really like what Liu Yuntao said, Li Ergou's father already knew that something would happen to him, then why didn't he run away?

Also, if Liu Yuntao is really a brother with Li Chengde and has a lifelong friendship, then with Liu Yuntao's financial resources and social status, why haven't they been to Li Ergou's house once after so many years?

Liu Yuntao's words have many doubts, which are really unconvincing.

"Boss Liu, then in your opinion, why didn't my father run away at that time?" Li Ergou asked.

Even if Liu Yuntao said that he was a brother to his father, he still couldn't call out the "uncle".

"I don't know, if I knew, I would have persuaded him at the time." Liu Yuntao said with a look of regret.

After thinking about it, he then added: "Perhaps, your grandfather and your third uncle know some inside information, which is why I deliberately went to your third uncle to help find the corpse in the first place." ”

After hearing this, Li Ergou was not calm for a moment, and even the fat man widened his eyes.

The more Liu Yuntao talked about it, the more outrageous it became, could it be that Li Ergou's father disappeared back then, or was it the ghost of his third uncle and grandfather?
