In the study, the old man kept sighing:
"I just heard from Qin's son that everything that happened back then seems to be related to our benefactor!"
To be able to become the great benefactor of both Grandpa Gu and the person on the phone is enough to show that the great benefactor's status is definitely not low!
You should know that the person the old man was talking to on the phone at this moment was none other than Mr. Xi!
Sure enough, as soon as Old Master Gu finished speaking, Old Master Xi on the other end of the phone was also shocked:
Hiss~
"Old man Gu, are you sure?"
"I'm not 100% sure, but it's not far off. The Qian family boy has already arrived in the capital."
Both elderly people are wise men; they can guess the key points from the slightest clue, and now they understand everything.
"Old Xi, tell me, how did things come to this? What was that guy thinking? He was in a pretty high position back then, how could he do something like this? How could he face his former boss?"
The fact that the old man showed such an expression shows just how disappointed he was!
The call is still going on:
"I've actually heard a bit about this, many years ago by chance, but I thought it was impossible and didn't investigate further. I never expected it to actually be true... Just like what you just said, Old Man Gu, that person was sitting in my current position back then. What could he possibly not be satisfied with?"
What else could it be?
What else could it be but greed?
And the only thing that could make someone of such high status so greedy is money.
Money is something that no one ever thinks they have too much of!
"What are you planning to do? That person is still our benefactor! If we go too far... it won't be good, will it?"
However.
If it weren't for the shipwreck incident forty years ago, it might not have been pursued further. But now, even if this side doesn't pursue it, it doesn't mean that people in other countries won't, right?
In the end, all the burdens will still be dumped on the empire.
If the news leaks out, it will certainly cause considerable turmoil within the empire. (Everyone reads novels)
so....
"Over the years, their entire family has enjoyed the best treatment, and the entire empire has done nothing to wrong them. Now, let's proceed according to the rules!"
How can you let a mistake go so easily?
It seems that the Qian family's recent return to public life is for this very reason.
"OK."
"You just said the Qian family boy has arrived?"
"Yes, I even wandered around the entrance of the compound earlier."
"I'll send someone to pick him up right away."
"Okay, keep in touch."
......
No one knows what the old man did in his study, who he talked to on the phone, or what he said on the phone.
However, it won't be long before many things come to light.
Compared to the entire empire, what does personal favor even matter?
However, after the phone call ended, the old man did nothing in his study; he just sat there lost in thought.
Deep down, I guess I still can't accept the truth.
It wasn't until dinner time, when someone came in to call the old man for dinner, that he finally came to his senses.
But from the end of the phone call until we finished eating, a full five or six hours had passed, enough time to do a series of things.
When the old man sat down at the dining table, he easily noticed that his family members didn't seem very comfortable and appeared somewhat flustered.
cough!
After a heavy cough, the old man finally spoke:
"What major incident happened? Why are you all looking like this?"
Normally, things wouldn't come to this.
