Seeing Pan Long fall into sad silence after reading the letter, Xia Xu couldn't help but chuckle and said: "I have good news here, do you want to hear it?'
"What good news?"
Pan Long was in a low mood and did not respond much to Xia Xu's words.
"Your parents should still be alive, at least your father should still be alive."
Xia Xu smiled.
Pan Long was shocked: "Really, really?"
His parents have been missing for so many years. To be honest, he has no hope that they are still alive, and he is vaguely prepared in his heart.
Especially after seeing this hidden letter today, the mother who is terminally ill, and the words that seemed to explain the funeral and even directly claimed to be a 'suicide note', all these signs have made his heart fall to the lowest point.
The words in Xia Xu's mouth were not the conclusion that he had great hope for, but he knew the hope was slim due to his rationality.
"Of course it's true. Duan Zhiyi is obsessed with researching brain control technology for your mother. If there was definite news of her death, Duan Zhiyi wouldn't be so obsessed now."
Xia Xu shook his head and chuckled, walked to Meng Bochao's side, reached out and reopened the zoomed browser window: "In addition, there is something wrong with this letter. This photo was definitely replaced later.'
The browser page still stays on the 'Sail Away' blog interface, displaying the last blog post from ten years ago. "You see, the time doesn't match up at all.
Xia Xu tapped the computer screen.
The point where his finger landed was the short caption below the group photo.
[I heard that the company is gradually getting on the right track and will finally have stable research funds in the future.

J, I will definitely cure her

"Yes, the boss is right, but the timing is wrong. According to the content of this blog post, this photo was actually taken before the company went public, and before he had a falling out with Dong Changhe.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to stand together closely and take a photo, and he also said that he had stable funds to continue research. Dong Changhe and your father probably fell out after this."
After Xia Xu pointed out the key, Yang Bowen and others also responded quickly.
Based on the meaning of the text, this blog post was actually published before Dong Changhe and Pan Yuanhang fell out. However, Pan Yuanhang's hiding of the letter in the photo was obviously based on the situation long after he had fallen out and left Yunfan Group.
Pan Yuanhang couldn't have completely predicted all this before it happened, and then recorded it all from the perspective of someone who had experienced it, right?
Therefore, it is obvious that the photo with the secret message hidden was actually replaced by Pan Yuanhang later.
So at least until Pan Yuanhang changes this photo, he should be in a safe state.
Moreover, when the letter discussed the statements of Yunfan Group, Dong Changhe and others, it was actually in a rational state, a peaceful attitude that seemed to have looked away and washed away all the negatives. This shows that the time interval between the replacement of the group photo is absolutely
Not short.
Since Pan Yuanhang can still communicate with the outside world after being missing for such a long time, it must prove that his survival status is actually guaranteed. If there is no unexpected situation along the way, there is a high probability that his life will not be in danger.
"Then are they at this address?"
After listening to everyone's analysis, Pan Long looked excited.
At the end of the letter, Pan Yuanhang did leave an address that he had previously used to sell off, and the location was in Star City.
"Maybe, let's go and take a look.
Xia Xu nodded vaguely.
Most of these words were out of concern for taking care of Pan Long.
But in fact, he knew in his heart that this possibility was probably unlikely.
Although Pan Yuanhang's tone of writing in the secret letter was in a state of escape, the words inside and outside were actually more like deliberate performances and disguises.
Just like a wanderer outside, even if he has just been scolded by his boss, worked overtime, and was eating instant noodles, he will still forcefully smile when faced with a sudden call from his parents, talking about how good his job is.
Life is so happy, eating luxurious meals, etc., the more embarrassed you are, the more so.
If he really lived a normal life, Pan Yuanhang would not have disappeared for such a long time, and there would be no need to communicate with Pan Long in such a roundabout way.
When it comes to testing his son's IQ, Pan Yuanhang may have some such considerations, but if a father really has any property left behind and wants to leave it to his son, normally he would not be so secretive about it. Even if it needs to be tested, it is absolutely fine.
Be blunt.
Therefore, even if Pan Yuanhang's life safety is guaranteed now, his personal freedom is bound to be restricted. This makes him have to communicate with the outside world in a roundabout way and covertly, and he is also afraid of involving his "silly son".
The address he left may really have left something for Pan Long, but most likely it won't be there.
But at this moment, even if Pan Long said it was impossible, he probably wouldn't listen, so let him be happy with some expectations.
Anyway, after all these years, even if the final result is disappointment, this little emotional ups and downs will not defeat the protagonist of the plot.
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and get there."
Under Pan Long's urging, Xia Xu had no choice but to rush with him to the address mentioned in the secret letter.
Just in case, he still brought the Miao Dao recurve bow and other equipment, as well as the drone interference gun he brought back from Huichuang Hi-Tech today.
Of course, there is also the indispensable bodyguard dog Atuo.
Apart from that, there was only one person, He Qing, who was responsible for driving, and the rest, Xia Xu, did not let them come together.
After all, I don't know if there is any danger. He Qing has a three-star fighting star, but Meng Bochao and the others have no ability to protect themselves. If they encounter any situation, they will become a drag.
The commercial car drove for more than forty minutes.
In the end, although the car did not reach the suburbs, it had reached an area far away from the city center.
[square market]
From a distance, the signboard on the roof of the building comes into view.
This is a trading market, or a second-hand market. The main merchants sell second-hand furniture, followed by second-hand air conditioners, computers, kitchenware, etc. Of course, there are also new ones.
The market is not very popular, just at a tepid level. There are still people wandering through the streets and alleys in the deserted area, giving people a very leisurely feeling.
Parking the car at the entrance of the market, a few people walked straight along the gate and happened to enter the alley at the end of one side of the square market. "Turn left in front of No. 1314, which should be here, right?"
After going some distance, Xia Xu and the others turned left according to the address in the group photo.
The direction of the left turn is no longer the market.
This alley is at the far side of the market. Turn left and there is a concrete downhill road.
But at the end of the downhill road, it looked like a wasteland overgrown with weeds. Some areas were excavated for foundations of a large amount of yellow mud, and some were wastelands with a large number of weeds and low shrubs, and occasionally an abandoned dangerous building.
