Mu Feng hurriedly waved his hand again and again, "Don't dare, we are already honored to be invited by Uncle Qi!" The affairs of the Qi family are our business, Uncle Qi, rest assured, we should do our best. Chu Tianyi's polite words were not like Mu Feng's answers, so he could only nod his head and say yes.

Qi Guangyu seemed to be still concerned about what happened just now, so he had a cold attitude and did not speak. Chu Tianyi didn't care about this, anyway, he didn't suffer, and the two of them just met, I'm afraid they won't see each other for the second time in this life.

The invited guests all left one after another, and the father and son of the Qi family stood on the steps and watched the backs of everyone leaving, and gradually put away the smiles on their faces.

Qi Tai said to Qi Guangyu in a deep voice: "Although my Qi family is powerful, it is impossible to check the entire antique circle. These people on the table today are all well-known figures in this industry, and now that the news is out, these people may take action, you send someone to keep an eye on them, tell me if there is any movement! ”

Qi Guangyu nodded, "I understand!" After speaking, he groaned slightly, "What about the surnamed Chu on the table today?" His grandfather is no longer there, and this kid I think is a layman who doesn't understand anything! ”

Qi Tai smiled slightly, "Don't underestimate him, sometimes the more laymen are, the more they don't play cards according to the routine." ”

"Shall we, then?" Qi Guangyu asked tentatively.

Qi Tai waved his hand slightly, "No, I have my own arrangements on his side." ”

Outside the gate, Chu Tianyi and Mu Feng stood on the side of the road, watching luxury cars drive by. Since the banquet ended, Chu Tianyi hadn't seen Gu Xiaoqian again, presumably he should have left first, but he always felt that there was a secret box involved, and they would definitely meet again.

Mu Feng stretched, "Tianyi, where are you going in a while?" ”

Chu Tianyi blurted out without thinking about it: "Go home." Seeing Mu Feng nodding, he asked again, "Brother Feng, what about you?" ”

Mu Feng covered his mouth and coughed a few times, and raised his hand, "I'll go see a few friends in a while." ”

"That's okay," Chu Tianyi made a phone gesture, "I'll leave first, keep in touch, goodbye Brother Feng." ”

Mu Feng waved his hand at Chu Tianyi, who was far away, "I will definitely see you again." ”

Chu Tianyi went to a shopping mall next to the train station and bought some gifts for Uncle Tao. After all, thanks to Uncle Tao's care during this time, he didn't trouble the old man.

Just as he was waiting to pay, Chu Tianyi's afterglow suddenly swept to a somewhat familiar figure flashing outside the mall door, although he didn't see the person's appearance clearly, but intuitively he felt that it seemed to be Gu Xiaoqian.

"Gu Xiaoqian?" Chu Tianyi muttered, hurriedly walked to the door, looked left and right, but did not see Gu Xiaoqian's figure, only saw a few strange men running by in a hurry.

Chu Tianyi was puzzled, and the salesman in the mall shouted at him, "Sir, do you still want these things?" ”

"Yes! Want! Chu Tianyi agreed, looked left and right again, and then turned around and walked in.

Sitting on the return train, Chu Tianyi kept looking out the window in a daze, there were too many things that happened one after another in the recent period of time, which made him completely unprepared, and a lot of doubts and questions were piled up in his mind, and he didn't have time to sort them out.

Chu Tianyi sorted out these things in his mind and rethought them. However, after pondering this time, there are two doubts that Chu Tianyi attaches the most importance to, one is the death of his grandfather, is there any hidden secret? And this problem, Chu Tianyi always felt that it seemed to have something to do with the so-called secret box. And when it comes to the secret box, it has to involve the two families of the Gu family and the Qi family. When you think about it, things seem to start getting messy again.

As for the other doubt that pressed on Chu Tianyi's heart, that is, what happened to his father back then? What did the letter and those magazines that Grandpa had hidden mean? It is impossible for the father to defect, so where did he go? Is it dead or alive now?

Chu Tianyi sat in the car and thought about it for a long time, but there was no result, so he could only give up.

After getting out of the car and returning to the door of the house, Chu Tianyi did not rush back to Xuyuzhai, but went to Uncle Tao's steamed bun shop first.

As soon as I entered the door, I didn't see Uncle Tao, but saw Uncle Tao's son, Tao Wei, bending over on the edge of the door lock in the inner room, not knowing what he was doing.

"Brother Tao!" Chu Tianyi said hello.

Tao Wei immediately stood up, "Oh, it's Tianyi, come on!" Listen to my dad, you're out, you're here to get the keys, right? It should be in a drawer at the counter. ”

"Don't worry," Chu Tianyi pointed to the door next to Tao Wei, "Brother Tao, what are you doing here?" ”

"Hey! Don't mention it," Tao Wei shook his head helplessly, "My son, your eldest nephew, just pulled out the key on this door lock and went into the house to play, but locked the key inside." I'm picking the lock. ”

Chu Tianyi looked at Tao Wei holding a plastic card in his hand, and asked curiously, "Can you use this to open the lock?" ”

"Yes," Tao Wei nodded, "Fortunately, this is the kind of old-fashioned lock that is not pry-proof, you just need to stuff the plastic card into the gap in the position of the door lock, and then find the right position, that's all," he said, he slammed the door, and at the same time pushed the plastic card in his hand hard, only to hear a "click", and the door lock was opened.

"Look." Tao Wei smiled, then went into the house and took out the key.

"Awesome!" Chu Tianyi smiled and stretched out his thumb. "Oh yes, what about Uncle Tao? Out? ”

Tao Wei went into the house and took out the key and reinserted it on the door lock, "My dad went to the vegetable market, and he always said that the vegetables I bought were not good." ”

Chu Tianyi put the things in his hand on the table, "When I went out this time, I brought some food for Uncle Tao, Uncle Tao always took care of me during this time, and I don't know how to thank you." ”

"Oops," Tao Wei hurriedly excused himself, "Brother, you are too polite, as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, this is all as it should be." Take it back, don't do it! ”

But Chu Tianyi was very resolute and pushed back, and Tao Wei had no choice but to nod, "Then thank you, I'll accept it for my dad first." ”

The two of them were talking, and a childish voice came from the backyard, "Dad, are you playing games with me?" As he spoke, a chubby little boy ran up to Tao Wei.

"Your son?" Chu Tianyi looked at the little boy and asked with a smile, "How old are you?" ”

"yes, eight years old." Tao Wei doted on his son in his arms, pointed at Chu Tianyi and said, "Quick, call uncle!" ”

"Hello uncle!" The little boy is very cute. Chu Tianyi couldn't help but pinch his little face, "So good!" ”

"Dad, play games with me!" The little boy still remembered the game.

"Good! Good! Tao Wei shook his head with a wry smile at Chu Tianyi, "Tianyi, you sit first." ”

Chu Tianyi smiled beside him and looked at their father-son affection, very envious.

The little boy took out two pieces of paper, "This is the game taught to us by the school teacher, each of us has a piece of paper, and the grid has been drawn on it, you draw the plane in a continuous grid, and for a while none of us will look at anyone's paper, you just need to say how many horizontal and vertical the attack is, and I will tell you if I have drawn an airplane in this position." Dad, do you understand? ”

Tao Wei said while drawing on the paper, "Okay, I understand." ”

The little boy also reminded him a little uneasily, "No one is allowed to lie, it's a puppy to lie!" ”

Chu Tianyi watched with interest from the side, but suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, number! A few horizontal and a few vertical! He suddenly thought of something, and stood up at once.

Chu Tianyi's sudden action startled Tao Wei's father and son. Chu Tianyi walked quickly to the little boy, "Baby, can you tell your uncle again how to play this game?" ”

The little boy smiled hesitantly, "Uncle is so stupid, then I'll tell you again." For example, if Dad wants to attack my horizontal 3 vertical 5 position, you see, my place is empty, oh, he guessed wrong! ”

"Uncle understood! Thank you! Chu Tianyi stood up, said hello to Tao Wei, and quickly returned to Xuyuzhai with the key.

Chu Tianyi found the wooden box that his grandfather put away again, and for the numbers in the magazines, because of what happened just now, he suddenly had an idea.

The numbers in each magazine are grouped, if the first one or two numbers represent the number of pages, and the remaining numbers represent rows and columns, can you find out what these numbers mean?

He found the earliest book of the year, and according to this idea, he found the word "I" according to the first set of numbers. Chu Tianyi suddenly felt a burst of surprise, and he had a premonition that his thoughts should be right.

After the first set of numbers was translated, he immediately continued. When he found the Chinese characters corresponding to each set of numbers on the title page of the first magazine, he was stunned.

These words are connected to "I am safe, the situation has changed, to be investigated, Chuan." "The numbers on the front pages of these magazines are really a message.

Chu Tianyi's eyes stared at these words on the paper, and his heart jumped wildly, who is safe by "I'm safe"? It must be his father who reports his grandfather's safety! And in the end, there is also the signature of his father - Chu Chuan's Chuan. My father didn't die in that accident!

Chu Tianyi speculated that his father was being suspected at that time, so he didn't dare to contact his grandfather openly, so he could only use this method. But why didn't he come and make things clear?

But Chu Tianyi didn't care about these questions at this time, the three words "I am safe" were great news for Chu Tianyi!

Chu Tianyi's eyes suddenly blurred. There's a good chance my father is still alive today! Chu Tianyi laughed, but the tears couldn't help but flow down.

He took the paper in his hand and looked at it for a long time. Then I wiped my tears and couldn't wait to flip through the rest of the magazines.

Chu Tianyi opened all the remaining magazines and began to check the information left on the title page one by one.
