Although he knew that Gu Baichuan was in Versailles, Zhang Jingde didn't tell him. After all, his son was Gu Chen, and that was enough.
Zhang Jingde also sighed and said helplessly: "That's right, your ancient town is really good. We have known each other for so many years, and you haven't even invited me to go to the ancient town."
"Who told us that we are high school classmates? We used to have great studies, but now we are busy with work. When you retire, I will take you back to the ancient town to live for a while." Gu Baichuan also gave a plan.
"Okay." Zhang Jingde didn't care and accepted it happily: "Anyway, it's almost retirement age, so I'll have to work hard for a few years."
After the words fell, Zhang Jingde took his cigarettes and lighter, waved his hands and said: "Let's go."
"Don't want to chat for a while?" Gu Baichuan said.
Zhang Jingde said as he walked: "I'm at work. What can we talk about? I'll come to your house someday for a meal."
"Then I'll wait." Gu Baichuan also smiled slightly and watched his old classmate leave.

…
During the Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, Gu Chen had two days off. On the second day, Gu Chen stayed at home to reunite with his parents. However, in the evening, he still needed to communicate with his colleagues on the phone.
At 10:20 in the evening, Gu Chen's conference call was basically over, and he was ready to wash up and go to bed early.
But just as he entered the bathroom to brush his teeth, his cell phone rang again.
Gu Chen frowned, thinking that maybe another colleague was looking for him.
So I could only put down the toothbrush with toothpaste in my hand and return to my bedroom again.
But when I saw it, it was a number from Magic City, and I felt confused. I thought I had never seen this number before.
But thinking that it might be an acquaintance of mine, he opened the answer button on his phone and said, "Hello, hello."
"Is it Gu Chen? I'm your Uncle Anan." After hearing Gu Chen's response, the man on the other end of the phone immediately revealed his identity.
When Gu Chen heard this, he immediately remembered that Anan shamelessly came to his old house for dinner at noon yesterday.
At that time, he could only give out his contact information out of sympathy, but Anan did not call at that time, so Gu Chen did not save Anan's contact information.
But now that he's calling, Gu Chen doesn't know what Anan wants to do with him.
So he quickly asked: "Oh, it turns out to be Uncle Nan, is there anything wrong with you asking me so late?"
"Are you still at home now?" Anan said on the phone.
"Yes, I'm still at home now." Gu Chen said.
"Is it convenient for you to come out now?" Anan asked again.
Gu Chen was a little confused and didn't know Anan's intention, so he asked, "Uncle Nan, what's the matter with you? Why don't you just tell me?"
"Oh, I can't understand a word or two on the phone." Anan on the phone seemed a little embarrassed. After thinking briefly for a few seconds, he asked Gu Chen again:
"Is it convenient for you to come out now? I'm near your home, right here at the door of your community."
"Is that so?" I felt that Anan's sudden visit at such a late hour must have something to do with him.
Thinking that after all, he was from his hometown and his elder, it seemed unreasonable to not see him face to face.
But he didn’t know what the other party wanted from him? After Gu Chen hesitated for a few seconds, he said again:
"Okay, just wait for me at the door. I'll be right over."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you here."
It was only after a few brief exchanges with Gu Chen that Anan hung up the phone.
Gu Chen didn't have time to think too much, so he could only unplug the charging mobile phone data cable and walked directly to the door.
In the living room, Xiao Xiaofang was sitting on the sofa with Gu Baichuan, watching a costume fairy tale.
While the two were talking and laughing, complaining about the actor's touching acting skills, they saw their son Gu Chen seemed to be about to go out.
So Xiao Xiaofang asked curiously: "Son, are you going out?"
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently and couldn't help but said: "Uncle Nan was at the gate of the community and said he wanted to see me."
"Uncle Nan?" Gu Baichuan was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly realized: "You mean Anan from your hometown?"
"Yes." Gu Chen nodded silently and admitted proactively: "He said he was at the gate of the community and had something to discuss with me, so I had no choice but to go over and take a look first."
"How did he find this place?" When Xiao Xiaofang heard this, she immediately felt that something was wrong and complained:
"What do you think this Anan wants to do with our son?"
"How did I know this? I just added my son's contact information at noon yesterday. I guess he has something to ask for."
After a pause, Gu Baichuan looked at Gu Chen who was putting on shoes and reminded him:
"Son, if it goes against your principles, you can refuse. You don't have to worry about these cumbersome etiquette."
"I understand." Gu Chen nodded silently, knowing what he was thinking.
People who come to see me late at night like this probably have something to ask for.
But if the other person doesn't tell you, it's hard for you to judge how to help him solve the problem.
But if he were allowed to use his authority to do something that went against his principles, Gu Chen would never agree.
So after putting on his shoes, Gu Chen opened the door and walked downstairs.
When Gu Chen came to the main entrance of the community, he saw a red sports car parked under a big tree on the roadside.
Gu Chen didn't think much and just walked to the passenger seat.
Anan, who was in the car, also instantly noticed Gu Chen and quickly opened the car door for Gu Chen.
"Get in the car." Anan said.
Gu Chen didn't think much and got directly into the passenger seat, while Anan directly handed over a bottle of drink and said: "Here."
"Thank you." Gu Chen took the drink, but did not drink it. He just put it aside and asked hurriedly:
"Uncle Nan, if you have anything to say, speak directly."
"Uh, okay, we are all in the same place, and there are some things I don't know if I can tell you, okay?"
After a brief moment of confusion, Anan continued: "Here's the thing, I encountered some trouble in the Magic City recently."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Magic City?" After hearing the location, Gu Chen also expressed his attitude: "Uncle Nan, I have no control over the matters in Magic City."
"If you have any difficulties, you can actually go directly to the police in Shanghai."
"I know, please listen to me first." Seeing Gu Chen refuse in a hurry, Anan quickly explained:
"It's like this. Although your Uncle Nan has made a name for himself in the Magic City, he has also made some small money."
"However, I have also offended some villains, and these people are not easy to deal with, so I have been in some trouble recently."
"Just tell me, what's going on?" Gu Chen finally figured out that Anan, who looked glamorous on the outside, actually had many problems that couldn't be solved, and only then did he find himself.
Anan also said slowly after a brief hesitation:
"Here's the thing. Let me tell you straight. Your Uncle Nan offended a woman in the Magic City, and this woman is a big sister. I can't afford to offend her."
"Recently, this eldest sister is looking for someone to take care of me. I can't stay in the magic city for the time being, so I want to come back to avoid the limelight."
"But I got the news that the eldest sister has sent people to Jiangnan City. What do you think this is?"
"This has all arrived at my doorstep. I feel like my life is in danger at any time now."
"What have you offended? They still need to send people to chase them to Jiangnan City?" Gu Chen was also very curious, what kind of relationship did Anan have with others?
But Anan sighed and continued to explain: "Actually, it's nothing. You also know that your Uncle Nan is quite old and not yet married, so he met a woman in Shanghai and later became close to her."
"However, in the end, I found that the relationship was not harmonious, so I broke up with this woman. But as for this woman, she has a sister who is not easy to mess with. She is a big sister in the magic city, and she has a lot of connections."
"After she heard that I broke up with her sister, she thought I was a scumbag and thought everything I did was for her sister's money."
"Then you are?" Gu Chen also asked casually.
This made Anan a little embarrassed, but she still tried to explain: "Of course not. When I talked to her sister, the two of us had real feelings."
"However, you can't force emotional matters. Later, I discovered that if I don't get along with her sister's personality, that is, if I don't get along, there will be many conflicts when we are together."
"So, I have no choice but to break up with her sister peacefully. However, I spent a lot of money on her sister before, so now that we break up, I can't possibly pay back all that money, right?"
"Wait a minute." After hearing this, Gu Chen seemed to understand a little bit, so he looked at the sports car and asked hurriedly: "Did you buy this car with her sister's money?"
"Uh..." After a moment of hesitation, Anan didn't know how to explain it.
"I understand." Looking at Anan's expression, Gu Chen knew that this must be the case.
But at this moment, Anan quickly explained: "To be honest, her sister did have a share in it. I had the small head and her sister had the big head."
"Then how much did you spend to buy this car?" Gu Chen asked.
"Well, I just paid a deposit, and her sister paid the rest." When Anan said this, she didn't seem to feel embarrassed at all.
Gu Chen was stunned and said in disbelief: "So, you think this entire car was almost entirely spent on other people's money?"
"Yes, wasn't I talking to her sister about this at the beginning? Her sister is quite generous and often gives me money to spend."
Touching his chin, Anan also said narcissistically: "You also know that your Uncle Nan actually has no shortage of women, and he is also a bit handsome."
"Although my popularity with women is pretty good, I said at the time that I wanted to buy a sports car, get involved in the luxury car circle in Shanghai, and make some high-end connections. She immediately agreed."
"She promised me that I would pay the deposit and she would help me with the rest."
Spreading his hands, Anan also looked helpless: "She said so at the beginning, so I bought this car."
"After all, we are all our own people from now on, so there is no need to distinguish them so clearly."
"But who would have known later that the two people had very inappropriate personalities, so they often quarreled, and finally broke up. But now they are fine, and she is standing on the moral high ground, saying that I am a softie, and that I am a scumbag."
"The most terrible thing is that she cried loudly to her sister from the magic city, saying that I deceived her feelings."
When he said this, Anan also looked aggrieved and said helplessly:
"So, now I can't even wash myself off after jumping into the Yellow River. Her sister has a bad temper. Without saying a word, she said she wanted to find someone to deal with me."
"When I was in Shanghai, I found that there were often people from society who would appear near my residence from time to time."
"For this reason, I moved secretly, but I don't know what happened? Her sister, the eldest sister, has some skills in the magic city, and she quickly found my new residence."
With a heavy sigh, Anan also felt sad and continued to explain:
"So Gu Chen, I have no choice now. I may not be able to stay in the Magic City for a while."
"I originally thought that I could go back to my hometown and hide away to avoid the limelight, but I never thought that the eldest sister would directly send people here, saying that she would take me back to the Demon City to deal with me."
"Maybe they even want to throw me into the sea to feed the fish."
"So arrogant?" After listening to Anan's various complaints, Gu Chen also said in disbelief:
"Or are you exaggerating?"
"No, no." Seeing that Gu Chen was doubting himself at this moment, Anan quickly waved his hand to deny: "It's definitely not an exaggeration, it's true."
"Because I have brought all the important things back, and I am staying in a hotel in Jiangnan City."
"But lately I always feel like someone is following me secretly. I'm very confused now. I'm afraid that the people following me may be the people sent by the eldest sister to deal with me."
"Are you worrying too much?" Gu Chen was also very curious after hearing what Anan said.
But Anan shook his head and continued to explain: "No, I definitely did not exaggerate."
After a pause, Anan quickly leaned into Gu Chen's ear and whispered:
"That's right, I'm also afraid of being followed, so I keep an eye out."
"When I left the hotel yesterday and prepared to go back to my hometown to worship my ancestors, I specifically asked the front desk clerk if anyone had inquired about me recently."
"What did the front desk say?" Gu Chen asked.
Anan said with a bitter face: "The front desk said that someone did come to inquire about my information before, but because it involved the customer's privacy, the front desk refused."
"But, what does this mean? It means that the eldest sister really sent people to chase me here. She wants to punish me to death."
Shaking his head, Anan looked emotionally broken at the moment and said helplessly:
"I really don't want to cause trouble, but now, trouble comes to my door. Aren't you the deputy director of the Furong Branch of the Jiangnan City Public Security Bureau?"
"Gu Chen, you have to protect me. I can only rely on you now. You can't let these people hurt me. Your Uncle Nan is also timid and afraid of death. So, Gu Chen, no matter what, you will do it this time.
I need to help you, Uncle Nan."
Anan babbled a lot and looked very frightened. It seemed that Gu Chen was his only savior now.
