Volume 1 The Storm is Coming Chapter 8 The Invitation of the Qi Family

Mu Feng let out a long sigh, "Since Uncle Chu's accident back then, my father has been thinking about wanting to visit you and Old Man Chu, and it can be regarded as doing his best for his friends, but unfortunately his health has been poor all these years, coupled with the big and small things in the family, and our two families live in two provinces, which are far apart." So I didn't make the trip until I had the opportunity to come here to do some errands, so I thought that I would come and pay a visit, which could be regarded as fulfilling one of my father's wishes. But I didn't expect it to be late. ”

Chu Tianyi, who Mu Feng said, didn't feel good in his heart, "Uncle Lao Mu is worried, after I go back, I will ask Brother Mu Feng to say hello to Uncle Mu for me, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will definitely come to visit." ”

Mu Feng waved his hand, "Brother Tianyi is polite." Actually," his tone became a little heavy, "my father also passed away last year due to illness. ”

Probably because the topic was too heavy, the two of them drank tea opposite each other, and they had nothing to say for a while. Chu Tianyi was the master after all, and of course he didn't want the atmosphere to become a little awkward, so he thought for a while and asked, "Brother Mu Feng, you just said that you came here to do something?" Which line of work do you do? ”

Mu Feng smiled, "Actually, let's go together, I'm also in the antique business." The difference is that you belong to the business, and pay attention to stable reputation. And what I do is fast in and out, and what I pay attention to is courage and eyesight. As he spoke, he winked at Chu Tianyi, "You know how to do it!" ”

Chu Tianyi listened and nodded, "Brother Mu Feng, are you here for business this time?" ”

Mu Feng nodded, "I came this time, on the one hand, to find some goods, and on the other hand, to be invited. ”

"Invited," Chu Tianyi asked casually.

Mu Feng took a sip of tea, "Have you ever heard of the Qi family?" Seeing that Chu Tianyi was a little confused, he reminded, "It's the Qi family in Linhai City next to it, and the business is quite big and famous." ”

Chu Tianyi nodded suddenly, "Oh, oh, I heard it." Are they in the antiques business too? ”

Mu Feng smiled mysteriously, "Although the Qi family itself is also involved in the antique business, this time it is not for business, but to issue a reward." ”

"Bounty?" This kind of thing Chu Tianyi encountered for the first time, "What is the reward?" ”

Mu Feng shook his head, "The Qi family is looking for something, I don't know what it is, but it must be an antique, and I heard that the reward amount is as high as tens of millions." ”

"So much!" Chu Tianyi was also a little surprised, "Could it be that you are looking for someone's authentic work?" Or Yuan Qinghua or something? ”

"It's not good," Mu Feng pouted, "However, I don't think it's that simple, if it's such a thing, the Qi family doesn't need to bother so much." ”

Chu Tianyi nodded approvingly.

Mu Feng said with some regret: "I heard my father say that the old man Chu also has a deep knowledge of antiques, so in addition to visiting this time, I originally wanted to ask the old man for advice on the affairs of the Qi family this time, but unfortunately I missed it." Mu Feng paused and turned his head to look at Chu Tianyi, "Brother Tianyi, haven't you received the invitation from the Qi family?" ”

Chu Tianyi shook his head, "No, how could the Qi family send invitations to a small shop like us." ”

Mu Feng suddenly smiled, "I also received this invitation last night, maybe your hasn't arrived yet." Brother Tianyi, don't be presumptuous, you don't fully understand your grandfather's ability. ”

Listening to Mu Feng's words, Chu Tianyi couldn't help but bow his head and be speechless, he thought of some of the things he had seen and heard in the past few days, and thought of Gu Xiaoqian, he always felt that there seemed to be something behind him that he didn't know. He thought about it carefully and looked up at Mu Feng, only to find that Mu Feng was also looking at him.

Chu Tianyi thought for a moment and asked, "Brother Feng, I want to ask, have you ever heard of the Gu family?" ”

"Gu Family?" When Mu Feng heard Chu Tianyi's question, he was immediately stunned, "Do you know someone from the Gu family?" ”

Chu Tianyi waved his hand and didn't tell the truth, "Ah, I don't know, it's just that I heard you mention the Qi family just now, and I remembered that I had heard someone talk about the Gu family before, so I asked casually." ”

Mu Feng nodded, "Speaking of this Gu family, it is also a rich and powerful family, and it is only stronger than the Qi family, but it is not weak, but the people of this Gu family are ruthless and unscrupulous in order to achieve their goals, if you meet people from the Gu family in the future, I advise you to be careful." ”

"Is that so?" Chu Tianyi's heart suddenly sank and fell into deep thought. If you follow what Mu Feng said, it is difficult to say that his grandfather's illness has nothing to do with the Gu family, but he has seen Gu Xiaoqian, but she doesn't look so dangerous.

Mu Feng drank all the tea in the cup, then got up and stood up, "Okay, Brother Tianyi, I've been bothering you for a long time, and it's time for me to leave." ”

Chu Tianyi came back to his senses, looked at the time, and realized that it was not early, "Brother Feng, when you came to me, you helped me so much just now." You have to give me a face, let's have a meal together. Let's talk more. ”

Mu Feng coughed again, and Chu Tianyi hurriedly poured him another glass of water, "Brother Feng, are you not feeling well?" ”

"It's an old problem, it's okay, it's okay." Mu Feng waved his hand again and again, took a sip of water, and then said: "Brother Tianyi, you don't have to be polite, I do have something to do, don't worry, I will definitely come back, and it will be not too late for you to invite me when the time comes!" Mu Feng resolutely refused, and Chu Tianyi didn't insist too much, so he sent Mu Feng outside the door.

Walking down the steps, Mu Feng waved goodbye to Chu Tianyi, but he took two steps and suddenly turned around, took out a business card and handed it to Chu Tianyi, "Tianyi, if you haven't received the invitation from the Qi family, why don't you go with me then?" On that day, some powerful people inside and outside the circle will be present, don't always nest at home, you should accompany your brother to open your eyes and relax. ”

Chu Tianyi took the business card and groaned, "Let's talk about it, Brother Feng." Mu Feng smiled noncommittally and turned to leave.

Back in the store, Chu Tianyi thought back to Mu Feng's words, and couldn't help but have a few questions in his heart, could it be that his grandfather's death was really related to the Gu family? And what is grandpa hiding from himself? Thinking back on all this, Chu Tianyi always felt that the matter must be related to the so-called secret box. Of course, he also thought about his father, what happened back then?

Chu Tianyi was in a trance, a courier car stopped in front of the door, the courier looked at Chu Tianyi standing at the door, and asked, "Hello, does Chu Xiubai live here?" ”

"Huh?" Chu Tianyi came back to his senses and nodded, "Yes, that's my grandfather." ”

The courier handed him a large cardboard envelope, "There is a piece of his, please sign for it." ”

Sitting at the table with the courier, Chu Tianyi looked at the sending address of Lincang City, and had a premonition in his heart, it seems that Mu Feng should have guessed correctly. When I opened the courier, it was indeed an invitation card.

"Present to Mr. Chu Xiubai, please come to Lincang Qi Mansion at 10 o'clock on the 20th of this month to discuss matters related to the treasure hunt. Qi Tai invites. ”

Holding this invitation, Chu Tianyi couldn't help but be distracted. After pondering for a long time, he picked up the business card that Mu Feng gave him and dialed the phone number on it.

"Hey, hello!" Mu Feng's voice came from the phone.

"Brother Feng, it's me, Chu Tianyi."

"Oh! It's the Tianyi brothers! Mu Feng said enthusiastically, "What's wrong?" Can I help you? ”

Chu Tianyi's eyes stared at the table, "Brother Feng, let you say it right, the Qi family really sent an invitation to my grandfather." ”

"Look! Haha," Mu Feng smiled, "I'll just say it." ”

"But," Chu Tianyi asked suspiciously, "For as long as I can remember, my grandfather has been guarding this small shop, doing his duty and keeping a low profile. How did you attract the Qi family to send an invitation? Brother Feng, what do you say about this matter, ....... "Actually, at this point, Chu Tianyi wanted to say that there would be any hidden meaning behind this matter. But he felt that it was a bit inappropriate to say such a guess rashly, and what answer could he give himself to Mu Feng, who had only met once. Therefore, Chu Tianyi's words changed, "Brother Feng, have you heard Uncle Mu say anything about my grandfather's deeds?" ”

"This," Mu Feng pondered for a moment, "It's nothing, but I heard my father mention that your grandfather is an antique master, so I also want to ask him to teach him a lesson or two during this visit." ”
