In the square, the aunt was a little confused by Wen Jun's explanation. It seemed that the relationships in this wealthy family were all so complicated?
Scratching the back of her head, the aunt frowned and said slowly: "So, what did your mother mean when she moved?"
"Oh, they are not allowed to pass through the door, and they have given birth to such a handsome son, and they still have to move by themselves?"
Shaking her head, the old lady seemed angry and couldn't help but say:
"So, what kind of bastard is your grandfather?"
Perhaps he heard some emotion in the old lady's words, Officer Wang quickly came over to comfort her and said:
"Sister, please calm down first. This matter is quite complicated."
"The current situation is that Xu Guiying's son is, well, the handsome young man standing in front of you."
"He has been taken away by his grandfather since he was born, so he has never seen his mother?"
"Moreover, we don't know the whereabouts of his grandfather's family at all, because this matter has always been something that cannot be discussed openly in their family."
"It wasn't until a nanny in their family who had worked for decades was about to retire that I secretly told him about it."
"So, he also came from Magic City and wanted to reunite with his mother."
"Therefore, if you know any clues, please provide them to us. We would be very grateful."
"Yes." Seeing Officer Wang speaking for him, Wen Jun also said quickly:
"As long as you can help me find my mother? I'm willing to pay any price. I'll give you whatever you want."
"Oh, this is not a question of money at all." Seeing everyone confessing frankly, the old lady also put her hands on her hips, seeming to be at a loss by this situation.
You know, Xu Guiying is also an old acquaintance to her.
But when I heard that an old acquaintance faced such a situation, the old lady couldn't help but feel pity.
After waiting for a long time, she said slowly: "Son, where did your mother move to? I don't know this, but I can help you find out."
"After all, I have quite a lot of connections here. I think I can get some clues."
"Really?" When Wen Jun heard this, he felt extremely happy.
But the old lady immediately poured cold water on them and continued: "Don't be too happy too early. I'm just saying that I know a lot of people here, but I can't guarantee whether I can find them."
"Please be sure." Seeing that the aunt had said so, Wen Jun also looked forward to it.
Knowing that Auntie is here, she can't provide many clues, so she needs to find someone to inquire.
So Gu Chen quickly said: "Auntie, why don't you leave us a phone number, and we'll leave you a number here too."
"If you have any clues here, you can notify us as soon as possible so that everyone can contact us easily."
"Okay." Seeing what Gu Chen said, the old lady agreed.
But soon, she looked at Wen Jun in front of her and said, "You said that if you can find your mother, you can pay any price, right?"
"Yes, I will give you whatever money you want." Wen Jun said quickly after hearing this.
"Your family...is very rich?" the old lady also tried to ask.
Wen Jun nodded silently: "It's... not bad."
"Don't be nervous, I'm not trying to extort money from you." Seeing Wen Jun's cheerful reply, the expressions of Lu Weiwei and Officer Wang changed.
The old aunt also quickly explained: "To inquire about information from us, we need to send people to inquire at each level."
"For example, if I assign this task of inquiring about information, then the person I assign will have to find people at the next stage to inquire, and then the people at the next stage will have to ask other people."
"In short, information in the lobby requires the use of connections, but if you want to get the information faster and earlier, you have to give people some benefits."
"I understand this." Seeing that the old aunt made it clear, Wen Jun nodded repeatedly.
After all, he is now anxious to find his mother, and any price is satisfactory to him.
What's more, for a family like his, the most important thing is money.
So as for money, Wen Jun can easily satisfy her.
The old aunt also grinned: "Actually, it's nothing. I just bought some fruits or something and asked people to help me inquire about it. They will be more active."
"If you give some more red envelopes and tell people that this matter is very urgent, then they will definitely be more active."
"Although the results are the same, if you give people some small favors, they will be more positive, which means that the time it takes for you to get the news will be shorter."
"This is called..."
"Time cost." Before the old lady could finish her words, Gu Chen casually agreed.
The old lady shook her right index finger: "Yes, it just saves time and cost."
"Okay, how about I give you one million first?" As soon as the old lady finished speaking, Wen Jun said casually.
This shocked everyone present.
If you ask for information, you will give someone a million.
Who wouldn’t be dumbfounded by this?
The aunt was also stunned, and quickly waved her hand and said: "You don't need so much, silly boy, your aunt is not making money from you. She just asks those who help to find out the news to each send a few bags of fruit and give a few hundred yuan in red envelopes."
"How much does it cost?" Wen Jun also asked anxiously.
"Why don't you give me 10,000 yuan first? I feel like you have more, so I'll give you back more and make up less." The old lady didn't say as much as a lion.
This made Wen Jun feel a little embarrassed.
After all, people think that if you drive an Audi, you are considered a poor person, and 10,000 yuan is just drizzle to him.
So Wen Jun asked for a million yuan as a favor, but he seemed to feel that he had said too little.
But the aunt only asked for 10,000 yuan.
There is a hundred times difference between one million and ten thousand yuan.
Wen Jun was unsure and asked anxiously: "Is ten thousand yuan enough?"
"It feels like enough." said the old lady.
Lu Weiwei also quickly asked: "Auntie, how are you going to arrange it?"
"It's simple." When the old lady heard what Lu Weiwei said, she immediately explained:
"I will first send a message to my group of square dancing sisters. There are about ten sisters in there who I dance square dancing with."
"They are all well-known news communicators in this area, and no gossip can escape their hands."
"I asked them to help find out the information, and then gave them each a few hundred yuan in red envelopes, and bought them some food."
"I estimate that they will work very hard, and if I explain the situation clearly, they may not even want these small favors."
"Anyway, it's pretty reliable, but it takes time."
"After all, Xu Guiying's family has moved away many years ago. Someone who is familiar with your grandparents may know where they are? But it will take time to find out."
"I understand this. The main thing is to find information about them. Money is not an issue." Wen Jun was also very anxious at the moment, wishing he could find his mother's whereabouts now.
"Okay." Seeing Wen Jun say this, the old aunt no longer hesitated. She immediately took out her mobile phone, clicked on her square dancing sisters group, and started to list all the sisters in the district.
Then he started to explain the situation in the group via voice.
At this moment, the old lady was replying to the messages in the group word by word, and everyone seemed to be gossiping.
Seeing that the old lady was going off track while chatting, Gu Chen quickly reminded her:
"Auntie, let's get down to business."
"Oh." The aunt who realized that her conversation had gone astray immediately retracted her smile and started to get serious in the group:
"Hey, I'm telling you, what I'm talking about are very urgent matters. I'm not kidding you, and you shouldn't just discuss Xu Guiying's gossip in the group now."
"The current situation is that Xu Guiying's son is right next to me. Is the young man anxious to find his mother?"
"The tadpole is looking for its mother, haha."
The voice of the old lady here had just been sent, and the group didn't know who it was, so she directly responded with another voice.
Of course, this was a joke between acquaintances, but it made Wen Jun feel like a knife.
The old aunt noticed Wen Jun's mood, so she quickly reminded her in the group: "Oh, oh, oh, don't talk like that. I haven't seen my biological mother in so many years. I miss my mother so much, so don't stay here."
Booing."
"That's right, don't talk nonsense anymore." At this time, someone else in the group agreed.
So, the aunt was in the group again and explained to everyone, and then everyone ended the voice chat.
The aunt turned to look at Wen Jun in front of her, patted Wen Jun on the shoulder, and reminded him:
"You don't have to worry too much. Don't worry. As long as there is a clue, I will always get the result."
"You go back first. I will call you to inform you of the situation."
"Well, thank you, aunt, thank you." Seeing that aunt had already taken care of everything for him, Wen Jun immediately bowed and thanked him.
After everyone had a brief communication in the square, Gu Chen took Wen Jun and drove directly to the hotel.
…
…
On the road, Gu Chen, who was driving, remained focused, while Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei chatted quietly.
Only Wen Jun said nothing, looking out the window in a daze.
Gu Chen glanced at Wen Jun who was in a daze through the car's rearview mirror, and said comfortingly: "Wen Jun, you don't have to worry too much, just stay in the hotel and wait for the news."
"Generally, people like that aunt have lived in that area for many years."
"There are neighbors all around, and everyone knows everyone, so it is more reliable for them to ask for information. You don't have to worry, maybe there will be results today."
"I hope so." Seeing Gu Chen say this, Wen Jun forced out a smile.
The vehicle quickly arrived at the entrance of the hotel.
Wen Jun walked out of the vehicle listlessly, turned to look at Gu Chen and the others, and bowed in thanks.
Then he walked into the hotel alone.
"Let's go too." Seeing this, Gu Chen also drove away.
…
…
On the way, Lu Weiwei also sighed and said: "This Wen Jun is too miserable, but Junior Brother Gu, do you think this old lady is really reliable?"
"After charging Wen Jun 10,000 yuan, I feel like she doesn't want to make money, she just helps with the management."
"It should be reliable." Gu Chen, who was driving, also said casually and expressed his opinion:
"First of all, the porcelain bottle that Wen Jun's mother left for him may look ordinary, but there must be something hidden inside."
"Then what do you think it is?" Lu Weiwei asked.
"It's not clear yet. We can use this porcelain bottle to explore the source. Maybe we can find clues."
"But the most important thing now is to wait for news from that old lady."
"After all, looking at it now, she is the most reliable, and she is the easiest to get the source of information."
"Although we can also use porcelain bottles as clues to investigate, it will take a lot of time and cost."
"Anyway, the aunt's phone number and our phone numbers have been exchanged with each other."
"When there is news, she will notify us as soon as possible, as well as Wen Jun, so we can wait quietly."
"That's right." Seeing what Gu Chen said, Lu Weiwei nodded silently and couldn't help but say:
"Then just wait."
…
…
Time passes minute by minute.
The night after the rain was a bit cool. After Gu Chen explained the situation to the police officer on duty in the office, he prepared to return to the dormitory to rest.
But at this moment, Gu Chen's cell phone suddenly rang.
Gu Chen picked up the phone and took a look and found that the caller was Wen Jun, so he quickly opened the answer button: "What's wrong, Wen Jun? Is there news from Auntie?"
"No, I'm just upset and want to talk to you." On the other end of the phone, Wen Jun was hesitant when he spoke.
Gu Chen smiled faintly and continued: "What do you want to say?"
"I don't know either." Wen Jun on the other end of the phone responded with nonsense.
Gu Chen continued to ask him: "Are you afraid that Auntie won't be able to find clues?"
"No." As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Wen Jun immediately denied it and said:
"Exactly not that."
"Which one is that? You don't have to mince words." Gu Chen also smiled lightly and said teasingly.
But the other side of the phone suddenly became quiet.
Gu Chen was stunned and quickly asked: "What's wrong? Why didn't you speak again? Do you have any worries?"
"Yes." It felt like Gu Chen had guessed correctly, so Wen Jun quickly replied:
"Actually, I'm afraid that after I find the clues, I don't know how to face my mother."
"After all, I haven't seen each other for so many years. If we meet again, I don't know what to do. I don't know if we will be strangers to each other."
"I don't know, has she started her own family? Also, will I have other half-siblings?"
"If so, how should I face them? I...I feel so upset. I always feel like my chest is clogged."
"You're just too stressed." Gu Chen put the phone on his shoulder, picked up the thermos cup on the table, unscrewed it, and drank water with one hand.
Wen Jun on the other end of the phone also replied in frustration: "Actually, I don't dare to face these difficulties. I'm actually quite a coward."
"I was clamoring to find my mother before, but now I feel like I might find her, and I'm starting to get scared again. I wonder if doing this is considered disturbing?"
