During the video call, Gu Chen saw the uncle's dilemma, but he didn't know the old lady's current situation, so he continued to ask:
"Uncle, I haven't seen you for a few years. How is your health?"
"Old man, is this Gu Chen? If it's him, please bring the phone over."
During the video call, Gu Chen also vaguely heard the old lady's weak voice.
The old man hesitated for a moment, then pointed the camera at the bedside.
At this moment, the old lady's haggard face happened to appear in the video screen.
Seeing an old acquaintance, Gu Chen also quickly took the initiative to say hello: "Aunt, I'm Gu Chen. I'm in your previous store now."
"Gu Chen, is it really you? Please bring your face closer. My eyes are not very good and I can't see clearly."
"Then I'll turn on the light." Perhaps because the room was dark, the old man immediately pressed the switch on the wall.
In an instant, the whole room suddenly became brighter.
The old lady put on her reading glasses, squinted her eyes, and immediately smiled and said, "Is it really you, Gu Chen? We haven't seen you for many years."
"Yes, Auntie, you and I are both very haggard." Seeing that the two old acquaintances seemed to be much older now, Gu Chen was choked up when he spoke.
The old lady said indifferently: "We are old and useless. If our health can be better, maybe it will be us two old bones who entertain you in the hotel today."
Glancing at Lu Weiwei behind Gu Chen, the old lady suddenly exclaimed: "This little girl is so pretty. Gu Chen, is she your girlfriend?"
Gu Chen turned around and looked, and Lu Weiwei took the initiative to come forward, waved and said, "Aunt, I am Gu Chen's colleague, Lu Weiwei."
"She's also a girlfriend, right?" the old lady said with a smile.
Lu Weiwei blushed and pursed her lips. Seeing that Gu Chen was about to speak, she quickly said, "We are colleagues. I heard that Gu Chen often visited your store when he was studying."
"And you also left a photo with Gu Chen in the store. You two are really careless."
"Haha, what's this?" When the uncle heard this, he was very happy, and quickly echoed with a smile: "We both like this kid Gu Chen very much."
"He comes to our restaurant to eat and often helps us clean up the dishes. Anyway, I feel very close to Gu Chen."
"But, after Gu Chen graduated, we didn't leave his contact information. We said goodbye in a hurry and only left the group photo as a memory."
"I just didn't expect that we would meet each other today. What a coincidence."
Gu Chen smiled faintly and asked quickly: "By the way, uncle, I heard that you and aunt live over the overpass of the old train station, right?"
"Yes, we live here now." The old man nodded slightly.
Gu Chenze quickly said: "Otherwise, I will come over to see you two later, and you can send me the address coordinates."
"Are you coming over?" When she heard that Gu Chen was coming to visit her, the old lady burst into tears of joy and quickly said, "That's so embarrassing, my home is relatively simple."
"It's okay, Gu Chen just misses you." Lu Weiwei on the side also hurriedly said to help.
The old man nodded silently and said, "Okay, I'll give you a seat right now. Have you eaten? Why don't you come to my place for something to eat?"
"Uncle." Seeing that the old man wanted to invite Gu Chen to his home for dinner, the restaurant proprietress also smiled and said: "Gu Chen has already ordered the food from me. They will come over after they finish eating."
"Oh, are you eating?" Upon hearing this, the aunt nodded slightly: "Okay, remember to give him a free meal for me. I'll treat Gu Chen to this meal."
"Hey, why do you need to pay for it? Let me fulfill your wish for this meal. My husband and I have invited you to enjoy this meal."
The hotel owner also patted his chest and vowed.
Seeing how insistent the couple were, the old lady no longer hesitated. After thanking her several times, she hung up the phone.
Not long after, an address link was sent directly to the mobile phone.
The landlady immediately gave her cell phone to Gu Chen and said, "Gu Chen, this is the current address of the two elders. When you go there later, please help me bring something with me."
"Okay." Gu Chen clicked on the location, remembered the address, and then asked: "Their phone number..."
"I'll find it for you right now." Knowing that the old couple might not know how to recognize newly added friends, the restaurant owner quickly found the phone number and asked Gu Chen to write it down.
For the subsequent meal, Gu Chen and everyone also wanted to save time, so they only took 15 minutes to finish the meal.
Due to the previous promise made by the hotel owner, he did not charge Gu Chen for the meal.
He also took the initiative to bring some vegetables and meat from the kitchen and asked Gu Chen and others to take them there.
Gu Chen took everyone with him to buy some nutritional supplements for middle-aged and elderly people in a nearby supermarket, and then drove to the area near the overpass of the old train station.
According to the address, Gu Chen drove the vehicle from the main road into the alley, and then drove along the alley.
Because this area is an old part of the city.
The houses are old and many of them are no longer suitable for living and can only be used as warehouses to store goods.
The winding path was already in dilapidated condition.
After a bumpy drive, everyone finally found a parking space at the overpass of the old train station.
At this moment, the address positioning is exactly here.
After Gu Chen parked the car, he looked up at the old house behind him.
Most of the buildings here were originally dormitories for employees of the station's locomotive department. They are relatively old and poorly planned.
Therefore, most of the houses in this area are around two stories.
And the structures of the houses are different.
Here, you can see red brick buildings, buildings with cement walls, some buildings with ceramic tiles on the walls, and some buildings painted with graffiti.
Here, you can find the longest memory of the city, but the buildings seem to have been inhabited by few people for a long time.
Gu Chen looked around and discovered that an old man was lying there at the window of a two-story building, as if waiting for something.
The old man had a bad look, but Gu Chen recognized him at a glance and quickly waved and said hello: "Master, I'm here."
"Gu Chen, come up quickly." The uncle found Gu Chen under the street light and was so happy that he quickly waved to Gu Chen.
Gu Chen curled his chin, and everyone immediately opened the back compartment and moved out the purchased supplies and supplies given by the hotel owner.
Then he followed a narrow staircase and was sent directly to the second floor.
At this moment, the white-haired old man walked over to greet me and said, "Gu Chen, you kid, come here as you please. You have brought so many things."
"These are some of our thoughts, and some of them were sent to us by the hotel proprietress."
Gu Chen also smiled and said.
I haven’t seen him for many years, and he is indeed much older than I thought.
Seeing everyone carrying various supplies, the old man couldn't help but sigh: "It's been a long time since there have been so many guests in my old house. Don't stand outside. Come in."
"Alas." Seeing the old man leading the way, Gu Chen responded and then beckoned everyone to go inside.
Go straight to the end of a narrow corridor and open an old wooden door, revealing a dormitory with one bedroom and one living room.
Gu Chen looked around and saw that the old lady was washing fruits in the kitchen.
Seeing Gu Chen and others coming over, he also walked to the living room carrying a fruit basket: "Gu Chen."
"Auntie."
"Long time no see, aunt misses you so much." When the old lady saw Gu Chen, she couldn't help but touch Gu Chen's face twice.
But Gu Chen also clearly felt that the old lady's rough fingers and calluses were scraping her face like knives.
Fortunately, when the old lady touched Gu Chen's face, she didn't use too much force.
A few people also exchanged pleasantries and sat on a row of plastic stools.
Gu Chen took the opportunity to introduce his colleagues to the two of them.
Since she hadn't seen a stranger for so long, the old lady was extremely happy at the moment. She took Lu Weiwei's hands, sat on the bedside, and looked at Lu Weiwei carefully.
Lu Weiwei also smiled and said: "Auntie, have you and uncle been living here since the transfer of the hotel?"
"That's right." The old aunt nodded slightly and couldn't help but said: "Your uncle and I are both outsiders and we don't have a house in Jiangnan City."
"Before, the hotel over there at No. 1 Middle School had a cabin where you could stay, but since the hotel didn't open, we had to rent here. The rent here is always cheaper, but the environment is a bit worse, ahem..."
At the end of the sentence, the old lady couldn't hold it back and started coughing violently.
"Old lady, you forgot to take your medicine again." The uncle seemed to have just realized what he was doing. He hurried to the bedside and found a few capsules and packs of pills from the drawer. Then he brought a thermos cup and took the medicine for his wife in front of everyone.
Take these medicines.
Turning his head and glancing at Gu Chen, the old man also smiled helplessly: "As people get older, they have more problems. Your aunt has never been in good health."
"Where is your son?" Gu Chen actually came here to ask about their situation.
The old man smiled bitterly and said angrily: "Just think that my son is dead. I don't know where he is now anyway?"
"What's going on?" Yuan Shasha said a little uneasily: "When we were eating at No. 1 Middle School Restaurant, the landlady told us that your son seemed to have gone to Pengcheng and then disappeared, right?"
After the words fell, the scene suddenly became quiet.
The atmosphere in the room also became a little tense.
After a while, the old man glanced at his wife beside him and sighed: "Yes, my son went to Pengcheng and disappeared in Pengcheng. Now whether he is alive or dead, we have no news at all.
"
"The reason why I don't want to go back to my hometown and stay in Jiangnan City is because I'm afraid that my son won't be able to find us when he comes back."
"So when we first transferred the hotel, we told the couple who took over the hotel that if one day my son comes back to see me, please tell us, so we have been waiting and waiting until now."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" The aunt on the side immediately touched the tears in the corners of her eyes with the back of her rough hands, and couldn't help but said: "I haven't seen my son for several years. I miss him, but when will he come back?"
"Auntie." It felt like she was emotionally moved by the sight of Gu Chen. The old lady suddenly broke down and burst into tears.
Seeing this, Lu Weiwei quickly comforted her, took out a tissue from her pocket, and wiped the old lady's tears.
Officer Wang couldn't stand it any longer and quickly asked the two of them: "Didn't you call the police? Didn't the police help you find him?"
"It's useless." The uncle shook his head and said with a disappointed look on his face: "The most I can do is register him as a missing person, because there are no investigation clues at all."
"And we reported the case only after we lost contact for several months. We have no clues for a long time."
After a pause, the old man continued: "Of course, the police have been working hard to help us find it, but after all, resources are limited. They can only track it through the use of my son's ID card information, but this clue is of no use at all.
"
"During the days when my son disappeared, I didn't even use his ID card, so there's no question of whether he can be found."
"So that's it?" After hearing what the old man said, Gu Chen roughly understood some basic information.
The co-author had been missing for several months before the two elders chose to call the police.
First of all, the opportunity to look for it was missed. Secondly, the second elder’s son never used his ID card again, so there was no way to track him.
But in the vast sea of people, it seems difficult to find an adult man who has been missing for months, or even years.
What's even worse is that the ID card has never been used.
Gu Chen stood up, walked back and forth in the small living room twice, and then asked again: "Uncle, do you still remember the reason why your son left the company here?"
"Remember." The old man nodded slightly and couldn't help but said: "At that time, it seemed that there was a conflict with the new leader of the company."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Because the company had a leadership position vacancy at that time and needed to compete for the position. My son had outstanding professional abilities, but he was not selected. The reason was that my son's academic qualifications were too low, so he had to compete with the new employee.
The leader had a big quarrel, and then he got hot-headed and resigned."
Sighing faintly, the old man also said angrily: "Why do you think a kid like him is arguing so easily?"
"When I was studying, I never saw him take it so seriously. Now I know the dangers of low education, but it's too late. I can only do some ordinary jobs."
"It makes him angry to see people who are not as capable as him but have higher academic qualifications than him being promoted to leaders one by one."
"Then why did you choose to go to Pengcheng after resigning? Wouldn't it be good to stay in Jiangnan City?" Lu Weiwei also asked.
The uncle shook his head and said with a puzzled look on his face: "I didn't quite understand it at the time, but he told me that there are more opportunities in Pengcheng, where I can get more contact with high-tech companies, and the salary is higher than in Jiangnan City.
"
"Moreover, most of the people in that place are outsiders, so there aren't many locals favoring locals."
"So it is for this reason that he chose to go to Pengcheng to make a living, right?" Gu Chen asked in confirmation.
The old man nodded fiercely: "That's why."
After thinking for a while, the old man quickly added: "Oh, by the way, he seems to have received a flyer near No. 1 Middle School. He followed the information on the flyer and found him."
"Flyers?" Hearing the old man's words, Gu Chen frowned and asked hurriedly: "Is it the kind of flyers that are distributed everywhere near the school to recruit summer workers?"
"Well, that's about it. I remember there was another flyer. Where was it placed at home? Hey, why can't I remember it?"
"Is this it?" Before the old man could react, the sharp-eyed Lu Weiwei found a leaflet stained with oil on the dining table.
Since the mat has been on the table for a long time, it is directly glued to it.
Even if Lu Weiwei wanted to tear it off, it would take a lot of effort.
The old man walked to the dining table, looked down, and then said: "Yes, this is it. This is the flyer my son brought home. He said he was going to try this factory."
Seeing that Lu Weiwei didn't dare to tear off the oil-stained flyer, Gu Chen walked over and lowered his head to take a look.
Looking at the recruitment flyer in front of him, Gu Chen quickly browsed it twice and couldn't help but said: "There are quite a lot of people being recruited."
"Yes, he also said at that time that the new factory there had just been built and all the equipment was about to be in place. It was recruiting a large number of staff for the society."
"Click!" Just as the old man finished speaking, Gu Chen took out his cell phone and took pictures of the leaflet information.
Then he said: "Uncle, if you trust me about your son's specific whereabouts, can I help you find it?"
"You? Gu Chen?" After hearing Gu Chen's words, the old man quickly waved his hand and said, "You can't do it. Those police can't find him. How can you find him? It's wasting your time."
"Uncle." Listening to the old man's complaints, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but explain with a smile: "Actually, we are all policemen."
"They're all... all police?" After hearing what Lu Weiwei said, the old man's expression was stunned, as if he thought he heard wrongly.
At this time, Yuan Shasha also took a step closer from the other side and said, "We are all from the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch, and Gu Chen is the captain of our Criminal Investigation Team."
"Gu...Gu Chen, are you from the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch? Or are you the captain?" It felt a bit unreal, and the old lady sitting on the bedside was also a little unbelievable at this moment.
But Gu Chen did not deny it. Instead, he nodded generously and admitted: "Yes, I am Gu Chen, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Team of Furong Branch. Serving the people is the duty of our police."
Looking around, Gu Chen also felt a little distressed and said: "You two are very old, but you live here and depend on each other. Isn't it just to be able to reunite with your relatives as soon as possible?"
"Now you have just waited for a few years, but if your son will never come back, then don't you have to continue waiting here?"
"Have you ever thought about how long you have to wait?"
Gu Chen's soulful rhetorical question seemed to reach into the hearts of the two old men.
The old man who had been calm before now had a sore nose and tears suddenly welled up from the corners of his eyes.
"That's right, we are already very old, how long can we wait?" Holding back tears, the old man also said sadly and angrily: "If my son is still alive, he will definitely come back."
"But if, if he is no longer in this world, then at least let us two old bones know about it!"
"Isn't it just a white-haired person giving a black-haired person? It's no big deal, but you have to give us two old bones a thought to keep living, right?"
