Hearing this, Liu Qingqiu had nothing to say, so he nodded and led him through the back door of the restaurant.
This Mingxin Restaurant seemed to have been designed with a secret passage through the back door. It was unknown what the original owner had hidden behind him. Lin Cheng and Liu Qingqiu followed the slightly dim secret passage without encountering anyone.
I arrived on the second floor of the restaurant without anyone noticing.
Standing on the edge of the protective fence on the second floor, Lin Cheng glanced down and found that there were not many customers in the restaurant at the moment. It must have been snowing heavily, and most of the residents of Zhifang Street were poor.
, there are not many people who come to restaurants to spend money when they have nothing to do.
"They should be inside. You wait here for a moment. I have to go over and give the signal first, otherwise conflicts will easily arise."
Seeing that Lin Cheng was looking at the situation in the restaurant, Liu Qingqiu gave him a few instructions in a low voice, then walked to a private room door not far ahead, raised his wrist and knocked on the door three times.
Next, after waiting for two seconds, tap three more times.
"Squeak——"
Following the knock on the door, the door to the private room was suddenly opened from the inside. When Liu Qingqiu saw the door open, he quickly waved to Lin City, and then the two of them quickly dodged into the room!
"Who is it, Old Liu?"
The moment Lin Cheng and Liu Qingqiu flashed into the room, a very familiar voice of questioning suddenly came from deep in the private room. The middle-aged man named Lao Liu did not answer, but just smiled at Liu Qingqiu.
Qingqiu and Lin Cheng nodded, and then ducked out of the room!
"Eh?"
Seeing Lao Liu going out without even saying hello, Guan Peng was immediately confused. He was about to get up and chase after him, but he was stunned when he saw the appearance of the two people who entered the house!
"Lin...Lin Cheng?! And...Mrs. Liu?!!!"
Seeing these two people appearing in front of him at the same time, Guan Peng was shocked and dumbfounded. He pointed at the two people who seemed to have fallen from the sky in front of him, with their mouths wide open as if they couldn't even speak.
Got it!
"Why, how long has it been since we last met? Brother Guan isn't so surprised, right?"
Seeing Guan Peng looking like he had seen a ghost, Lin Cheng couldn't help but chuckle, walked to the dining table, poured himself a cup of tea, and teased Guan Peng.
Liu Qingqiu had a look of emotion on her face at this time. As Guan Peng's former employer and relative, her feelings for Guan Peng were much more complex and profound than those of Lin Cheng. This man with unparalleled loyalty was originally tricked by her, although later
She was extremely kind and righteous to the other party, but after Lin Cheng's lesson that night, she still can't look directly into his eyes.
"No... no, how come you are together?! If I remember correctly, Brother Lin should have gone all the way south at that time. How could he suddenly appear in Pingcheng again?!"
After a period of buffering, Guan Peng gradually regained his composure and asked Lin Cheng with a look of disbelief. After all, the current traffic conditions are far worse than before. If a person in the south wants to reach the north, unless there is a special plane from the military department,
Pick up and drop off, otherwise it will take several months to catch up, and at the same time, you have to be lucky enough not to die on the way!
"It's a long story. I'll tell you more in detail if I have the chance in the future. We came to you today mainly for Professor Fang's business."
Although Guan Peng was still extremely shocked, Lin Cheng didn't intend to waste time with the other party on this matter and went straight to the point.
Hearing Lin Cheng's words, Guan Peng looked startled, then suddenly showed a look of realization, clapped his hands and said: "I said that Lao Liu, who usually never joins gangs, suddenly wanted to invite me to drink. He did it for a long time.
It turns out you are the one behind this! Really, I originally thought I could have a good drink after finally taking a vacation..."
"Let's settle Professor Fang's matter. I can control as much as you want to drink!"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng couldn't help but feel dumbfounded. Guan Peng looked like he was bored in the military headquarters, otherwise he wouldn't have been fooled out of the army just by drinking.
After the initial embarrassment, Liu Qingqiu calmed down and stepped forward to help: "Yes, Lin Cheng came to Pingcheng this time specifically to look for Professor Fang. That's why the two of us came to Pingcheng.
The reason for us being together, after all, for him, an outsider who has just arrived, trying to find someone in Pingcheng is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Fortunately, I still have some connections in your military headquarters, so I finally managed to fool you out. In order to find you, Lin Cheng and I
The two of you haven't rested for several days. Professor Fang treated you very well before, and you have to help us regardless of circumstances!"
"You...what are you talking about!"
Seeing that the two people in front of him looked worried that they were unwilling to help, Guan Peng looked angry, slapped the table hard and said: "You and Brother Lin are both my saviors, Professor Fang, and Professor Fang is another important person to me.
If we have the grace to meet again, even if I, Guan Peng, risk my life, I will never raise an eyebrow over this matter!"
As he said that, he seemed to think of something again, his expression suddenly darkened, he sat back on the chair with a plop, and said with a desolate expression: "But Mrs. Liu, you should also know that Professor Fang was appointed by the military to leave.
, no matter from which point of view, the three of us are not qualified to negotiate with the behemoth of the Military Ministry, let alone start a war! Professor Fang and Miss Fang have not had any news leaked since they were picked up by the Military Ministry, and I am here.
After I separated from you, I was directly assigned to the security team. I could only deal with the courtyard wall every day. Even though I tried my best to ask someone to inquire about it, after so long, apart from knowing that Professor Fang was taken to the Pingcheng Research Institute, there was no one else.
No other news..."
"Wait, Pingcheng Research Institute?"
Hearing this, Lin Cheng suddenly raised his eyebrows and quickly interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "What kind of place is this? Do you know where it is?"
Hearing this, Guan Peng shook his head helplessly, "All institutions within Pingcheng that are linked to the 'Yuan' are first-level secrets. Except for the core senior management, outsiders have no right to know..."
"this……"
Seeing that Guan Peng didn't even know the specific location of the Pingcheng Research Institute, Lin Cheng couldn't help but frowned and turned to look at Liu Qingqiu.
Seeing Lin Cheng's eyes, Liu Qingqiu spread his hands and showed a helpless expression.
"actually……"
Seeing these two people looking extremely disappointed, Guan Peng felt very uncomfortable. After all, these two people came here specifically for Professor Fang, but at this time they didn't even know where he was, and he wouldn't know who he was.
Feeling comfortable, he could only comfort him: "Actually, if you think about it from another angle, Professor Fang is also a national treasure-level biologist after all. Although there will be many restrictions on his actions, he should be doing pretty well in other aspects. The military is
It is basically impossible to embarrass his old man materially..." (To be continued)
