Dad Shi is not stupid, and of course he understands in his heart that Zhou Haiyang is targeting his son.
But how did his son become the general manager of Tiannan Group? He couldn't figure it out even if he scratched his head.
There were so many people at the scene that it was not convenient for Dad Shi to ask his son, so he could only smile and say: "Thank you Zhou Bureau, thank you Zhou Bureau..."
Zhou Haiyang peeked at Shi Kai and found that there was indeed a bit of joy in Shi Kai's eyes, knowing that he was the right flatterer.
"Brother, there is no need to thank me, all of this is the result of your own efforts!"
Then, Zhou Haiyang asked Shi Kai: "Mr. Shi, are you sure the old man you mentioned is in our Xunyang Mountain?"
Zhou Haiyang changed the subject quietly, fearing that Shi Kai would transfer his anger towards Li Dabiao onto himself.
Shi Kai can be the general manager of Tiannan Group partly because of his ability, but more importantly because of Chen Dong.
It is said that when one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven.
Just relying on his own efforts, he may have no hope in this life.
So in terms of human sophistication alone, Shi Kai is definitely not as good as Zhou Haiyang, and even if he wants to find fault, he can't find fault.
From the beginning to the end, Zhou Haiyang handled things tactfully, resolutely and decisively.
Shi Kai could only look for trouble, nodded and said: "The old man went missing more than a month ago. There is news that he arrived at Xunyang Mountain. I don't know if he is still there now."
Zhou Haiyang immediately said: "Whether he is here or not, we will do our best to find him."
This sentence deeply touched Shi Kai's heart.
Shi Kai nodded: "Yes!"
Zhou Haiyang immediately deployed his troops, and after understanding the old man's appearance, he arranged for everyone to disperse and look for him.
Everyone from the Forestry Bureau, even if they were not members of the forest ranger team, had been to the mountain at one time or another. They immediately launched a search operation in an orderly manner, ensuring that every corner was not missed.
In other words, as long as the old man has appeared on the mountain before, they will definitely be able to find clues!
…
It's getting dark.
Shi Kai and his father teamed up to search within a specific range.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dad Shi would of course ask him about the "general manager".
Shi Kai's answer was similar to that of Feng Bin and Lu Yuange. He said that a classmate became the president of Tiannan Group, and he followed the chicken and dog to heaven and became the general manager.
Of course Dad Shi also thought that classmate was inheriting the family business.
"Letting a classmate become the general manager is like playing house..." Dad Shi shook his head, obviously not approving of this behavior, but still said: "Since people trust you, you have to work hard and don't embarrass them."
"Don't worry, Dad, I can do it."
…
After hours of searching, we finally got the news.
There is an old man who lives alone on the hillside of Xunyang Mountain. He lives in a thatched house all year round.
He said that he had seen a crazy old man carrying a young boy on his back.
Shi Kai immediately ran to his destination.
The thatched houses on the hillside were already crowded with members of the Forestry Bureau and many people from the Tiannan Group.
Even Chen Dong came.
It turned out that after Chen Dong received Feng Bin's call, he learned that the sloppy Taoist might have gone to Xunyang Mountain, so he took people to Xunyang Mountain overnight.
As soon as there was news about the sloppy Taoist, Chen Dong rushed there immediately, one step ahead of Shi Kai.
Of course, Chen Dong was the absolute center of attention at the scene.
Regardless of whether he is from the Tiannan Group or not, everyone has to hang around him.
Everyone else was arranged outside the thatched house, and only Chen Dong walked in.
Some things must not be allowed to be heard by outsiders.
Shi Kai also consciously stood aside.
The old man living alone in the thatched house had obviously never seen such a big battle. He looked at Chen Dong and said tremblingly: "He... is he a criminal? So many people are looking for him, but I don't know his background...
…”
Chen Dong held the hand of the old man living alone and said: "He is not a criminal, he is a family member of mine. I have been looking for him for a long time. Please tell me his whereabouts!"
When the old man living alone heard this, he started to curse: "He is your family, why can you let him get lost? You people, you relied on him to support you when you were young, but when you grow up, you despise him and don't care about him anymore, right?"
?”
As he said this, the old man living alone shed a few tears.
Apparently, he seemed to be reminded of his own experience.
Chen Dong said seriously: "Grandpa, we didn't ignore him. He really got lost on his own, otherwise I wouldn't be able to find him like this!"
The old man living alone sighed: "If you want to listen, then I will speak."
…
With the progress on Feng Bin's side, the characteristics of the sloppy Taoist have become increasingly clear.
He was seriously injured, covered in blood and dirty, and he was carrying a young man on his back.
There were definitely not many people who fit this description, so when the old man who lived alone heard about it, he said he had seen it before.
It was indeed more than a month ago.
That night, after dinner, the old man put out the kerosene lamp and prepared to go to bed.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The old man was old and his ears were not very good, so he thought he heard wrongly.
He has lived alone in the mountains for many years. Except for the occasional drink from the forest ranger, when has anyone knocked on the door in the middle of the night?
The old man is not afraid either. He is about to die anyway. When is death not death?
But when he opened the door, he was still startled.
Standing outside the door was an old man covered in blood, with a pale-faced young man on his back, his eyes closed tightly.
When Chen Dong heard this, he was sure that the old man was the sloppy Taoist, and the young man carrying the burden on his back was his junior brother.
This is exactly the same situation as described by Feng Bin.
The sloppy Taoist was breathing heavily, obviously very weak and tired.
"Brother, do you have anything to eat? Give me a bite..."
The old man didn't know what happened, but he still let the sloppy Taoist in.
The sloppy Taoist put the boy on the bed and sat on the ground to catch his breath for a long time before gradually regaining some of his strength.
At the same time, the old man also prepared food.
"There's not much in the mountains. I can make do with cabbage and radishes. I grow them all myself..." the old man said.
The sloppy Taoist was neither polite nor disapproving. He took the bowl and ate it in big mouthfuls, and soon he ate it all.
"Is there any more?" asked the sloppy Taoist.
"Yes." The old man went to serve him rice again.
After eating three times in a row, the sloppy Taoist was finally full. He touched his belly and said, "It's so damn unpalatable. You don't even have a roast chicken?"
The old man said angrily: "I have no teeth, how can I eat roast chicken?"
The sloppy Taoist chuckled: "We look about the same age, but you lost all your teeth? If you had learned martial arts from me earlier, you would have strengthened your body, kept your ears and eyes from getting blurry, not to mention your skills.
, it won’t end up like this…”
The old man has never seen such a person since he was born, and he still despises him after eating his food!
"I don't think you're any better." The old man retorted: "Have you ever practiced martial arts? I see you are covered in blood, who was beaten by someone? And the child on the bed is your grandson? Is he about to die?
"
The sloppy Taoist's expression froze and he turned to look at the young man lying on the bed.
"He can't die... he can't die... I can definitely save him..."
The sloppy Taoist murmured, his eyes full of sorrow.
The old man couldn't bear it and did not continue to talk viciously. Instead, he said: "What's going on? Is your grandson sick? Why did you come here if you didn't go to the hospital?"
The sloppy Taoist ignored him and continued to murmur: "If you can't die, you will definitely not die. All we need now is some medicinal materials..."
The old man asked again: "Do you have any other family members?"
The sloppy Taoist was stunned for a moment and said, "Yes, I have several disciples, and they are all my family members."
"Then why don't you go and seek refuge with your family?"
"Hehe..." A trace of sadness flashed in the eyes of the sloppy Taoist, "I can hardly save my life, why bother them?"
The old man became more and more confused: "What do you mean, are you seriously ill too?"
"Bah, who is seriously ill? I am strong and healthy. Apart from a little hemorrhoids, I don't have any other problems!"
"Then what's the implication?"
"You know nothing." The sloppy Taoist said: "I am being hunted by someone. The person who is chasing me is incredible. I may not be able to handle even the largest families in the country, let alone my family.
How many disciples? I’m going to find them, and if the enemy comes to chase them, won’t they be implicated?”
The old man was confused: "What a mess..."
The sloppy Taoist sighed again: "I tell you, you don't understand either."
The old man really didn't understand, so he didn't ask any more questions. He just cursed in his heart as a lunatic.
"You are older and more confused than me. This is hysteria." The old man thought.
…
The old man didn't understand, but Chen Dong did.
Chen Dong finally knew why the sloppy Taoist didn't come to see him.
The sloppy Taoist indeed encountered a strong enemy this time. Although he rescued his junior brother and escaped, he was still being hunted!
The other party is really impressive, not only powerful in force, but also powerful.
The sloppy Taoist didn't want to implicate his apprentice, so he carried it down silently and walked alone in the mountains with his junior apprentice on his back...
Thinking of the miserable condition of the sloppy Taoist, Chen Dong's eyes couldn't help but turn red.
He couldn't help but grab the old man's hand: "What happened next? What happened next?"
The old man shouted angrily: "Later, he slapped me in the face!"
"Ah? Why?"
This turn of events was something Chen Dong never expected.
"I don't know why!" The old man became even more angry: "Maybe he is a psychopath."
…
That night, in the thatched house.
Without any warning, the sloppy Taoist suddenly jumped up and slapped the old man.
The old man was stunned on the spot and looked at the sloppy Taoist in disbelief: "What are you doing?"
The sloppy Taoist didn't feel any guilt at all. He cursed and said: "Old man, don't think that if you give me a meal, everything will be fine. Do I need something like yours? As an old man, can you cook me a meal?"
It will be your lifelong honor to eat!"
After saying that, the sloppy Taoist smashed all the old man's pots and pans.
"I'll fight you!"
The old man was so angry that he rushed up to fight him desperately.
The sloppy Taoist kicked him over.
"You are immortal, that is, I am injured, otherwise I will have to kill you!"
The old man was so angry that he almost convulsed, but he was indeed old and frail, and he had a knock on his head and couldn't get up for a long time.
"Don't expect me to owe you any favors. I don't have that habit..."
The sloppy Taoist cursed a few more times, then walked to the bed, carried the young man on his back, and carefully tied him up with hemp rope.
Then, walk outside the door.
He said loudly: "Cui family, listen up, this old man has nothing to do with me. He was just forced to cook a meal by me, and he was beaten severely by me just now..."
There was also a deep voice outside: "Don't worry, we won't kill innocent people indiscriminately."
