Chapter Ninety-One: The Missing Man
"Don't talk about me, tell me about you, when are you going to find that legendary thousand-year-old ginseng?" Hong Feifan changed the subject.
"In a few days, I'll make sure before I go, so as not to go in vain. Yu Xiadi said.
Hong Feifan hummed and said, "Is there anything you need my help with?"
"Not yet, I won't be polite to you when I need to. Yu Xiadi said.
"Okay!" Hong Feifan nodded.
"Come, let's have a toast! Today I will borrow flowers to offer Buddha and celebrate you marrying a rich president's wife with this wine!" Yu Xiadi raised his wine glass.
"Since you want a toast, pour it full!" Hong Feifan said, picking up the wine bottle and pouring wine into Yu Xiadi's cup.
"What are you doing? Where did someone pour a full glass of red wine to drink?" Yu Xiadi hurriedly said.
"We don't need to be like normal people. Hong Feifan said.
"Then you don't need a full cup, right?" Yu Xiadi said helplessly.
"A full cup is arrogant enough!" Hong Feifan said with a smile as he poured wine into his cup.
"If the so-called gentlemen see us drinking red wine like this, they will laugh at us. Yu Xiadi said.
"Why should we pay attention to other people's eyes?" Hong Feifan said disapprerovingly, "as long as we feel comfortable like this." ”
"Okay, I'll drink with you today!" Yu Xiadi said.
"This is a good brother!" Hong Feifan laughed.
Yu Xiadi raised his glass and was about to clink glasses with Hong Feifan, when he suddenly remembered something and said "oops".
"What are you doing?" Hong Feifan then looked at Yu Xiadi suspiciously.
"I knew that you married a president's wife, I should have ordered a bottle of expensive high-quality wine just now, anyway, you were in for a treat. Yu Xiadi sneered.
"You kid!" Hong Feifan shook his head helplessly.
"Forget it this time, next time you're going to invite me and Lafite in '82. Yu Xiadi said.
"Then next time. Hong Feifan said.
"If I hadn't known that there was no good wine in this ordinary restaurant, I would have invited you to drink it from me right now. Yu Xiadi said.
"You kid has drunk so much wine, isn't it enough?" Hong Feifan said.
"You never get enough good wine. Yu Xiadi said.
After a few rambling words, the two had a drink.
A glass of poured red wine is not worth mentioning at all for Hong Feifan, not even a warm-up, usually he can even drink a bottle of high-level liquor.
......
In a spacious office of nearly 200 square meters, decorated with high-quality materials, a Mediterranean man of about 50 years old is sitting on a black single sofa made of high-quality leather, bending over and leisurely making tea.
The office is decorated in a modern style, with several landscape paintings hanging on the left and right walls. On the wall behind a mahogany desk from Southeast Asia hangs a calligraphy painting with the words "Great Exhibition" written on it.
These calligraphy and paintings seem a little out of place in this very modern office, giving people the impression that not only is not tall, but the owner of the office will feel elegant.
With a "babbling" knock on the door, the office door opened, and a man no more than twenty-three years old hurriedly walked in.
The man is of medium height, with red lips and white teeth, well-defined facial features, a high nose bridge, and a pair of triangular eyes with more white and less black. The originally white complexion looks even whiter against the backdrop of the white jacket on his body.
"Dad, take a look!" the man said sharply as he walked over to the Mediterranean man.
The middle-aged Mediterranean man raised his head, glanced at the young man, and said in a reproachful tone, "What's the hurry? ”
The young man sat down opposite the middle-aged man, handed a tablet in his hand to the middle-aged man, and said quickly: "Dad, look at this video, does the person in it look like the missing person?"
The middle-aged man put down the small teapot in his hand and took the tablet computer handed by the man suspiciously. He looked at it for a moment and asked, "Who are you talking about?"
The young man stood up, walked over to the middle-aged man, pointed to a person in the video who was doing CPR for someone else on the side of the road, and said, "Now, that's him." ”
"From the back alone, I can't tell who it is. The middle-aged man said.
"You keep looking, and you can see his front in a minute. The young man said.
The middle-aged man groaned and stared at the tablet screen again.
After a few minutes, the young man spoke, "Dad, this is it, you can see clearly." ”
As he spoke, he extended his right index finger and double-clicked on the tablet screen to pause the video.
"Dad, doesn't this man look like my missing so-called big brother?" said the young man, gesturing to the man in the paused video who had turned to face the camera.
"The video is not very clear, and I can't tell if it's him, but it looks a bit like it in outline. The middle-aged man frowned slightly, thoughtful.
"I feel a lot like him. Although the face is not very clear, the outline is very similar. "You can see his size, it's about the same size as it was a few years ago." ”
The middle-aged man looked at the paused video screen again, thought about it, blinked his fox-like eyes, and said unhurriedly: "In my opinion, it's not him." Judging from the overall body shape and silhouette, it is indeed a bit similar, but after so many years, it is impossible for his body shape to remain the same as a few years ago. The main thing is that he has been missing for so many years, and we have not heard from him, and I am afraid that he is long gone. What's more, your grandfather is sick and hospitalized, and if he comes back, he should visit your grandfather, but we haven't heard your grandfather mention him. ”
The young man nodded slightly, thought for a moment, and said, "Maybe Dad is right, he has been missing for so long, and he may not be in the world." ”
The middle-aged man hummed and said, "Are you worried that he will suddenly appear and fight with you for the family property?"
The young man took back his tablet, sat down across from the middle-aged man, and said, "Hasn't Dad been worried?"
"Not worrying about it is fake. The middle-aged man picked up a cup of tea, "To be honest, I'm also worried that he will suddenly appear and waste all our years of hard work." However, if you think about it, even if he suddenly appears, it will not pose a threat to us. Our family roots are firmly established, and it will be difficult for him to shake us when he returns. ”
After he finished speaking, he took a sip of tea.
The young man nodded, also picked up a cup of tea, drank it in one gulp, put the teacup down, and then smiled: "I don't know why, I've been dreaming about him a lot lately, so when I saw the person in the video just now, I thought it was him." ”
