“Honestly, we don’t know, he’s never been out of touch. All four of us have sent people to look for him, but we just can’t find him.”
There was a sudden silence in the room, and no one made a sound.
I suddenly panicked in my heart, something hadn’t really happened to Uncle Han, had it?
“He goes to Denmark every year, but every year he goes and never tells us what he’s doing.” Zhou Jifa said.
I asked, “Did you guys never ask him.”
Qin Hao said, “Oh, if he doesn’t want to talk about it, you can’t even pry his brain open to see why. Why haven’t we ever wondered? But he just won’t say anything.”
Mao Kai yelled, “I wonder if this kid is giving himself a secret annual holiday?” When he finished, no one laughed, so he laughed twice in embarra*sment.
Li Fengcheng glanced at Mao Kai and said, “After so many years, Lawyer Han has never lost contact, that is, he would not answer the phone when he was on the plane. But after so many days have pa*sed, he can’t have been on the plane the whole time.”
“Could Liu Rong have done something? I heard Liu Rong say that Uncle Han won’t be able to return in three months.” I said, “But even if he can’t come back, he can still give us a call.”
The crowd looked at me and me at you, all anxious, but none of them could do anything about it.
Everyone here had the ability and money to do so, and they were already sending people to find Han Kun, but there was just no news. I think if there is no more news, I will have to ask the old man to help me find some mercenaries in Europe to help me look for them.
Uncle Han is too important to me and I absolutely cannot let anything happen to him.
Old Gan said, “I think this matter is probably Liu Rong’s doing. He didn’t dare to kill Lawyer Han, but he had a way to make him temporarily disconnected. As long as the lawyer is out of touch, some of the wall-riders will side with Liu Rong, who will take advantage of the situation. Although our equity here is dominant, their numbers are dominant, and we will never have a say if we don’t have the support of 70% of the shareholders!”
These words made everyone’s atmosphere even more gloomy, and the happy look from earlier seemed like an illusion.
I was used to doing ideological work in the army, and when I saw that everyone’s momentum was so low, I said, “There’s no need to lose heart, now Liu Rong’s place is the same as ours, and the proposals we can’t push forward, they can’t push forward either. Uncle Han will come back sooner or later, they are more anxious than us.”
“Haha, yeah, we’ll just spend time with Liu Rong and see what he can do.”
“That’s right, we’ll play the scoundrel, I’m the best at playing the scoundrel.”
Everyone relaxed again, joked and laughed, and continued to reminisce about the past. I listened to them talk for an office hour before Mr Zhou was too busy saying he had to go back and look at the stocks, and the crowd dispersed amidst the laughter of everyone. I wanted to invite them to dinner, but they all said they were welcome, that they were old friends with my dad and didn’t need to use these false gifts.
“Xiaochao, you really don’t have to worry, these are all your dad’s lifelong friends, there’s no need to put all this false reasoning to heart.”
I let out a long sigh and laughed, “I just think it’s amazing. They say that people go away and tea goes cold, but my dad has been gone for so long, and they still treat my dad like a brother. ”
Old Gan squeezed my shoulder, “These are all real brothers, they all had a life-long friendship with your dad.”
“What kind of a man was my dad? He has a very vague image in my mind.” I suddenly asked, “It’s not that I didn’t hate him growing up, actually. He died in a car accident, and the DUI not only got my mum involved, but my aunt as well, and my aunt grew up hating me to the core, and I suffered a lot growing up because my aunt hated me.”
I don’t know why, but I especially want to say these words today, if I were to put it in my usual way, I would never say it, this is the deepest scar in my heart, I don’t want to reveal it to anyone.
But today was different, it was as if I could see my dad in his full glory when he was alive, he was not at all the kind of wimp, irresponsible, selfish man my aunt said he was.
I am now certain that he was killed by someone, and the fact that he had such a good group of brothers before that, and that he still managed to stay together after more than ten years, already shows that my dad’s character was by no means what my aunt had said.
I really wanted to know, and I asked again, “What kind of a man did you think my dad was?”
Lao Gan said seriously, “Your dad, he is a very charismatic person. No matter what others say, you have to remember that he is definitely not a bad person.”
I nodded vigorously.
One day, I must unravel the truth about my father’s death and set his name straight.
He was not a selfish, irresponsible alcoholic. He was a man who could do right by his wife, his brothers and his children.
No matter who stops me, I will avenge my father’s death.
After Old Gan and I walked out of the conference room, Lin Fang was waiting at the door.
Old Gan frowned and asked, “You’ve been listening here?”
I stopped Lao Gan and said, “It’s alright, Lao Gan you don’t need to be nervous, this is my good friend.”
Lin Fang explained hastily, “I didn’t want to wait here, but I saw that many people had come out and you two hadn’t yet come out, so I came over to wait for Zhang Chao.”
I stared at Lin Fang’s big, fluttering eyes and laughed, “It’s alright, it’s nothing untoward. Alright, let’s go.”
“Less ……”
Lao Gan tried to call out to me, but I was already gone with Lin Fang and I heard Lao Gan sigh heavily behind me.
Lin Fang was nervous all the way, not daring to lift her head to speak, and it wasn’t until she got into the car that she relaxed a little.
“I have a feeling that old gentleman doesn’t like me very much.” She said offhandedly as she steered the wheel.
“Yeah, old Gump’s a bit guarded. And you know who I am, I wasn’t supposed to take you up there for what happened today. If word got out, I’d be dead.”
Lin Fang glanced at me thoughtfully.
I laughed, “I know you’ve heard something, you don’t have to be nervous, I believe you.”
“I didn’t stand out there too long.”
“Hmm.” But I didn’t say that I had actually heard Lin Fang’s voice from the moment she stood outside, and what ordinary people thought were light footsteps were in fact as heavy as a pig’s hoof on the ground to the ears of a special forces soldier.
“I didn’t hear anything very important.” Seeing my usual reaction, Lin Fang added with some unease.
I wanted to laugh inside, why make a lie sound more truthful when it was obvious that I had lied.
“It doesn’t really matter what you hear. I’m sure you won’t hurt me again.” I laughed, “I’m a man who uses people with suspicion.”
“How can you be harmed by those things? It’s just some internal gossip.” Lin Fang explained casually.
The car got on the highway and sped along.
