Meanwhile, all the photos that Huo Yingjie handed over to Director Liao in Huai City were safely delivered to Yanjing through the family's secret channels.
Grandpa Huo was overjoyed to receive his grandson's letter!
If their family completes this task, it will not only allow Huo Yingjun to achieve great things in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and be recorded in history, but it will also have a significant impact on the overall improvement of the Huo family.
Although the Huo family now has some influence in Yanjing, apart from Huo Yingjie, very few of them have caught the leader's eye.
However, if this matter is accomplished, it will have epoch-making significance for the entire Chinese nation.
Old Master Huo sat quietly, forgetting even that Old Madam Huo had personally poured him tea, and did not drink it.
When Madam Huo saw her husband's expression, she knew something big was about to happen. She didn't say much, but instead replaced the cold tea with hot tea.
That evening, Huo Zhegan returned from work and was immediately summoned to his study.
"Take a look!" said Old Master Huo, still very excited.
At this age, I thought I could remain calm and composed no matter what happened, but now I see that my skills are not up to par!
Cultivating one's mind and character is just empty talk!
At this moment, the fear of difficulties and the desire for power surged into his heart.
After examining the photo, Huo Zhegan was shocked and said, "We need to get this photo to Yingjun in America right away! If we're too late, the Huo family might be out of the picture!"
"Yes, we must be careful and hand it over to Yingjun," said Grandpa Huo. "This information was obtained by Yingjie with great effort, so we must do a good job in the follow-up."
Grandpa Huo was very pleased. His two sons were already incredibly capable, which was enviable. Now, his two grandsons were both elites in their respective systems. The future and prospects of the Huo family were limitless!
"Yes, Father." Huo Zhegan agreed and took the photos to make the arrangements.
A group went to the United States these past few days, and it included people trusted by the Huo family!
A few days later, the photos that Huo Yingjie had found ended up in Huo Yingjun's hands.
As agreed with his family, Huo Yingjun did not open the letter immediately. Instead, he carefully examined the details and only opened the envelope after confirming that no one had tampered with it. Then, he read the contents of the letter, took out his codebook, and matched the codes one by one, obtaining completely different information from the original letter.
Looking at those photos again, Huo Yingjun was overjoyed!
Qi Shu's son looks about 70-80% like the young man in the photo!
Almost immediately upon seeing these photos, Huo Yingjun was certain that this was Qi Shu in his youth, and that kind-smiling old lady was Qi Shu's mother.
Huo Yingjun held the photos, his hands trembling slightly, his heart pounding with excitement.
After a while, Huo Yingjun put the photo on the table, rubbed his face with both hands, and calmed down a little.
Huo Yingjun opened the drawer, inside was a notebook, which was specifically used to record Qi Shu's situation.
Huo Yingjun had previously tried to arrange a chance encounter, but each time he was met with a cold shoulder. Qi Shu simply ignored him, at most nodding in a friendly manner.
Huo Yingjun currently works as a manager at a trading company, earning a substantial income. However, he is actually an embassy agent, or in other words, a spy, gathering various information to get closer to the target mission.
The notebook says that Qi Shu will be attending a performance by a famous symphony orchestra at 7 p.m. on July 8th.
That means tomorrow!
The information about Qi Shu's private rooms is all above!
Huo Yingjun took out a photo of Qi Shu's mother when she was young. As for the family photo, there were other photos, which he would bring out later.
The music at the concert was very moving!
There was a lullaby inside, a gentle melody unlike any in traditional Chinese music, which brought tears to Qi Shu's eyes as he listened to the music with his eyes closed.
In my memory, my mother was always neatly dressed, and my father was kind and taciturn.
The earnest words of advice I gave you before you left home still echo in my ears, but everything has changed!
I wonder how his family, his mother, and his father are doing?
What an unfilial son!
I am ashamed to be a son if I cannot fulfill my filial duties to my parents!
He wanted to go find his mother, but despite sending out so many people, none of them succeeded!
Qi Shu's wife, son, and daughter were also quietly listening to music.
At that moment, a waiter came in with drinks, and while blocking the table with the tray, he also left the photo that was under the tray on the table.
After Ying Sheng left, Qi Shu's wife Anna went to get a drink and saw a photo on the table, so she picked it up and glanced at it.
"What an elegant and graceful woman!" Anna murmured, though the woman looked vaguely familiar...
When listening to music, Qi Shu hates being disturbed and will frown and open his eyes.
"I'm sorry!" Anna apologized. "There's an old photograph in our reserved private room, and the woman in it looks somewhat familiar..."
Qi Shuwai looked up and saw the photo in his wife's hand. He immediately widened his eyes and snatched the photo away without any manners.
"This...this..." Qi Shu stammered, tears already welling up in his eyes. He could no longer sit down. With a thud, he knelt on the ground, holding the photo in both hands, and prostrated himself before the mother in the photo!
Although Anna is an American woman, after marrying Qi Shu, she learned a lot of Chinese for the sake of her beloved man and could understand what the word "mother" meant!
Qi Zhenghan and Qi Zhengmin learned Chinese from their father from a young age and understood the word. While they received a Western education outside the home, they received a traditional Chinese education at home. When their father saw the photo and called out "Mother," which was their grandmother, he immediately knelt down.
Anna knew better than anyone how much her husband missed his mother. Every morning, he would say a few words to his parents' photograph. That photograph was very precious; no one was allowed to touch it.
After a while, Qi Shu calmed down a bit and hurriedly asked, "Who came in here just now?"
"No!" Anna was listening to the music intently just now.
Twelve-year-old Qi Zhengmin was too young to concentrate on the music and whispered, "Dad, a waiter came in to bring drinks just now, but I don't know if he put the photo there."
Upon hearing this, Qi Shu vaguely understood that the photo hadn't appeared in his sight out of nowhere. That person was probably nearby!
Qi Shu was anxious and rushed to check the door, where he saw a young man standing at the door of the next private room!
He knew who this person was—a staff member sent from the mainland who had been bothering him quite a bit lately. He simply didn't trust them and didn't want to have much contact with them.
If it were anything else, Qi Shu probably wouldn't care.
However, since it concerned his mother, he couldn't stand idly by! (To be continued.)
