In Country M, Gu Tingchen got off the plane accompanied by Meng Xianchen.
In the car, Meng Xianchen's face remained solemn, bringing the atmosphere to a freezing point.
Gu Tingchen coughed lightly and patted Meng Xianchen on the shoulder: "Don't worry so much, I'm here."
Hearing this, Meng Xianchen finally managed an awkward smile, "You're the only one in the world who would believe this if you told me."
"Then you really think highly of me." Gu Tingchen smiled faintly. At this time, the car had already arrived at the Meng family.
The Meng family mansion is still luxurious. It is one of the only remaining legacies of the Meng family. Seeing these towering buildings, Gu Tingchen couldn't help feeling a little guilty in his heart.
He glanced at the building complex and couldn't help but sigh: "If it weren't for me, perhaps the Meng family would still be at its peak now."
"Don't say that. It's fate. If I hadn't taken a fancy to Jiang Ranran..." Meng Xianchen stopped here and realized that there was no point in saying more. Everything had already happened.
"It's not wrong to love someone." Gu Tingchen said as if defending Meng Xianchen.
Meng Xianchen smiled bitterly, "But loving a woman with a family is wrong. Besides, I was the one who took the initiative to compete with you. In the end, although I didn't save the Meng family's property, you saved my life."
Gu Tingchen smiled bitterly, "Then, let's just consider it even."
"Well, it's even." Meng Xianchen smiled sincerely.
As soon as Meng Xianchen finished speaking, an old servant walked up to him, bowed respectfully, and said, "Master, you are back. I will go and inform the master."
This old servant has always been by Mr. Meng's side and is a true family servant.
Meng Xianchen's expression suddenly froze, and he said sternly, "Don't tell the master."
"Why..." the old servant asked in confusion.
Meng Xianchen's face showed a hint of impatience. "I want to give the master a surprise."
After saying that, he pulled Gu Tingchen inside and went straight to Meng Xianchen's room.
"What? Aren't you going to see your father?" Gu Tingchen thought that as soon as they arrived, they would go directly to see Mr. Meng.
Meng Xianchen shook his head, his face solemn, "Before you go, I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Gu Tingchen frowned slightly, vaguely feeling that there was an insurmountable gap between Meng Xianchen and Old Man Meng. This matter was not so easy to solve.
Meng Xianchen sighed lightly, took out a thick book and handed it to Gu Tingchen.
"What is this?" Gu Tingchen flipped through a few pages and found that this was the autobiography that Mr. Meng wrote for himself.
But Gu Tingchen didn't understand why Meng Xianchen gave him this thing.
"My father doesn't remember anything about this. I find it unbelievable." Meng Xianchen's face was serious and solemn, with a hint of sadness.
Gu Tingchen flipped through it and felt that Meng Xianchen's suspicion that Mr. Meng had been switched was not without reason.
"But if they were switched, how could there be two people who look exactly the same?" Gu Tingchen felt that there was a lot of water involved here.
Meng Xianchen smiled bitterly, looked at Gu Tingchen and said, "You forgot, the Meng family used to be a big player in AI. Not only did they have AI, they also had clones."
"Clones and AI should have synchronized memories with your father." Gu Tingchen frowned.
"This autobiography has never been circulated to the public. It was written by my father for himself because many of his experiences are unknown to outsiders. Therefore, the person who cloned him probably didn't have this book, so..."
Meng Xianchen thought that this might be the only explanation.
"So, the reason you showed me this book is that you hope I will test him?" Gu Tingchen frowned slightly, a trace of confusion flashed across his eyes.
Meng Xianchen nodded. "It's not just a test. I hope to get him to tell me my father's exact location."
These days, Meng Xianchen has been suffering from this matter. When he thinks that his father is a fake clone and that his real father is suffering somewhere, Meng Xianchen feels uncomfortable all over and is so anxious that he feels he can't stand it for even a second.
Gu Tingchen nodded when he heard this. He had experience in dealing with these clones.
"Don't worry, leave this matter to me. Take me to see him now." Gu Tingchen's eyes were firm, giving Meng Xianchen enough sense of security. Only Gu Tingchen could do that. If it were someone else, Meng Xianchen would never leak a word, let alone hand this matter over to him.
Meng Xianchen pursed his lips and said seriously, "Come with me now."
They walked out of Meng Xianchen's room and headed towards Mr. Meng's living room. Along the way, Meng Xianchen looked very nervous.
Seeing this, Gu Tingchen patted Meng Xianchen's shoulder gently and said, "Don't panic, it will be solved."
"I hope so." Meng Xianchen smiled bitterly. As soon as he finished speaking, they arrived at the door of Mr. Meng's living room.
Meng Xianchen gave Gu Tingchen some time to prepare mentally in advance. Only after seeing Gu Tingchen nodded did he push open the door of the living room.
The curtains in the room were drawn and the light was a little dim. Gu Tingchen didn't notice anyone in the room at first glance.
Until Gu Tingchen's eyes fell on the carpet beside the bed, where an old man was sitting with his head drooping, not knowing what he was thinking. Gu Tingchen deliberately cleared his throat to attract the other person's attention.
However, Mr. Meng just looked up and glanced at Gu Tingchen indifferently.
"Gu Tingchen? President of Gu Group." Old Master Meng said these words almost stiffly.
Gu Tingchen smiled faintly and walked in. "Do you still remember me?"
"Of course I remember." Old Master Meng had a stern face and stared at Gu Tingchen motionlessly.
Gu Tingchen smiled politely, "I heard from Meng Xianchen that your health is not very good, so I came to see you specially."
He was testing Mr. Meng to see if he could match up the past events.
"Thank you for your visit." Old Master Meng curled his lips and smiled, but his eyes were still very dull.
"Uncle, last time at my house, you said you wanted to cooperate with me on a project. Does it still count now?" Gu Tingchen's sudden question startled Meng Xianchen, because he had no recollection of this matter at all. However, he soon realized that this was Gu Tingchen testing Grandpa Meng.
As expected, Mr. Meng was stumped by the question, and his slightly stunned look told Gu Tingchen.
"Sorry, I'm tired. Can we talk about it another day?" Mr. Meng did not admit it directly, but lied that he was tired.
Gu Tingchen did not obey. Instead, he said bluntly, "It's been a while since we last met. Let's catch up. Are you tired after just a few words? Uncle, do you not welcome me?"
Gu Tingchen was so aggressive that at this moment, a hint of displeasure finally appeared on Mr. Meng's face.
"Show me away." He growled in a cold and serious tone.
