The next morning, Xiao Gao got up and went straight to Chen Nian's residence.
Although we don't know what happened between Chen Nian and General Manager Xu, we should handle General Manager Xu's instructions as soon as possible.
"Mr. Xu sent me to help you find someone. What are your father's distinguishing features?"
Chen Nian was stunned after hearing this, and was so moved that he couldn't speak.
He searched carefully for the images in his memory, but couldn't find which feature was the most prominent:
Gray hair, square face, not many wrinkles...
Xiao Gao frowned. These features weren't unique enough to pinpoint the person accurately; this definitely wouldn't work.
Do you have a picture of him?
Chen Nian shook his head helplessly: "The photos are on my phone, but my phone was lost in the warehouse that night."
That night at the warehouse? Xiao Gao remembered what happened that day; Chen Nian's phone should be with Boss Xu!
He glanced at Chen Nian and decided to go find President Xu first, without telling Chen Nian about the phone.
"I'll go look around first; there shouldn't be many people in this age group," Xiao Gao said, making an excuse before leaving.
Xiao Gao successfully obtained Chen Nian's phone from Xu Neng.
Strangely, Xiao Gao felt that Chen Nian's father's photo looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before...
"What, you've seen him before?" Xu Neng asked.
"I think I've seen it before, but I can't remember where I saw it..."
"That's right! It's in that cave outside!"
Xiao Gao finally remembered.
"A cave?"
"Yes, but the person has already frozen to death."
Xiao Gao pulled a cell phone out of his pocket, which he had found on Chen Nian's father: "Chen Nian's father is dead... Should we tell him?"
Xu Neng's expression gradually turned cold: "Let's talk about it, otherwise he'll keep searching."
Furthermore, dealing with Shen Qingshan might not require me to do it myself...
Xiao Gao couldn't understand what President Xu was thinking, so he left in a hurry.
When they arrived at the cave together, Chen Nian almost went mad the moment the body was unearthed.
That once towering figure that accompanied Chen Nian throughout his childhood is now shrunk to a small size, hunched over and curled up.
How cold must it be to be like this...?
Shen Qingshan released him, but he also let him die!
Chen Nian's face turned bright red, and with a "poof," he spat out a mouthful of blood. He collapsed next to his father and hugged him tightly.
Roaring and howling...
Even with his last remaining family member, he couldn't save them!
Chen Nian hugged his father and cried for a long time until all the tears on his face turned to ice and he fainted.
From then on, he was as if his soul had been ripped out, and he fell seriously ill and never recovered.
...
Lin Jieyu has been having a pretty good time these past two days. She hasn't stopped working since she entered the workforce after graduating from high school.
Now that she has nothing to do and there is no danger, she has started to feel bored, and she often thinks of that cold face.
Today, unlike the previous two days, she was finally summoned by Commander Xu!
She glanced at herself in the mirror in a panic, smoothed out the wrinkles in her clothes, and with a heart full of trepidation, pushed open the door...
Not only was the person she liked there, but there was also an old man. Lin Jieyu immediately stood obediently to the side, her eyes lowered...
During the conversation, she learned that the man next to Commander Xu was actually the Supreme Leader.
She broke out in a cold sweat...
Unexpectedly, their conversation quickly turned to their own situation.
She sensed the leader's probing gaze, and soon a series of questions followed.
Commander Xu stood silently to the side, while Lin Jieyu tried her best to calm herself down and answered the questions one by one according to what she had memorized.
Fortunately, she diligently memorized all the background information that Captain Gao provided.
After a few questions, Lin Jieyu stole a few glances at Commander Xu. Judging from his expression, he seemed to have passed the test smoothly.
"Commander Xu, take good care of your injuries. Once you're healed, we'll go to the steel mill together. Anyone who resists us will pay the price!"
Xu Neng remained silent, for in order to protect Chen Nian, he could only leave his injuries on the steel mill.
Seeing this expression, Hu Tianhao assumed that Xu Neng was indulging in a gentle embrace, which was why he had concealed his sharpness.
Hu Tianhao chuckled softly, as if he had seen through everything. Before leaving, he patted Lin Jieyu on the shoulder and said meaningfully:
"Take good care of Commander Xu."
These unexpected words shocked Lin Jieyu deeply!
"Even the leader said so, does that mean my relationship with Commander Xu... is recognized?"
She raised her head and looked shyly at Commander Xu, trying to see something different in his eyes.
But he remained as cold as ever.
Xu sensed her unusual behavior, turned his back, and said, "You can go now."
Lin Jieyu could only look away and leave reluctantly.
...
A week passed in the blink of an eye, and Lin Jieyu finally realized that she was just a "tool".
Take it out when needed, and when you don't need it anymore, tactfully hide it so that no one can see it.
The only pleasure in this boring life is the occasional chance to catch a glimpse of Commander Xu from afar.
His injuries are gradually improving, and he is now able to get out of bed and walk around. Occasionally, he can be seen going to the living room to eat and drink.
Just seeing him makes me content...
If life continues in this uneventful way, it's bearable.
But one night, when Lin Jieyu got up to get a drink of water, she passed by Commander Xu's room and heard a voice she would never forget:
"Feifei, I miss you so much..."
