"Dr. Li, can we talk privately?"
On the third day, right after the acupuncture treatment was finished, George suddenly said this.
Li Chu was taken aback when he heard this; he really couldn't understand what they had to talk about.
“Uh… President John, according to regulations, we cannot contact each other privately. If you have anything to discuss, the translator and recorder must be present.”
George glanced helplessly at the two people being pointed at; with them there, there were many things that simply couldn't be said.
He frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Alright, then forget it. We've reported many of the issues raised during the negotiations to the board of directors, and we already have solutions. I think our negotiations should yield a result that satisfies both sides."
Li Chu smiled and nodded. He understood why George was telling him all this; he simply wanted to tell him that he would do his best in the negotiations, but he also hoped that George would do his best to cure his illness.
"President John, I am a doctor and I don't know anything about business cooperation. These are matters for their business department. I will definitely do my job well."
"Thank you, Dr. Li. See you in two days."
Seeing that he was about to leave, the translator and recorder sent by the External Liaison Office breathed a sigh of relief. They really didn't want the two of them to have any private contact, because there were many things they didn't know whether they should record.
They had just left when Sun Jianjun lifted the curtain and came in.
"Brother Chu, you're amazing! You can even cure foreigners' illnesses."
"Uncle Jianjun, hello."
“You, Wenxuan is here too. You two are doing great, like father and son fighting side by side.”
"Why aren't you busy with your own things? What are you doing here?"
"I came here because I need to talk to you. Shall we talk outside?" Sun Jianjun pointed to the door and said.
Li Chu didn't say anything, but stood up and walked out, instructing the three of them as he went: "You guys go ahead and see the patients."
"yes"
"Wenxuan, let's talk another day."
"Hey, Uncle Jianjun, take care."
After walking out of the outpatient building through the side door, Sun Jianjun didn't care whether Li Chu smoked or not. He simply took out a cigarette from his pocket, tossed it to Li Chu, and then lit it for him with a match.
"Brother Chu, how accurate was that kinship test I had done here before?"
"Hmm? What's wrong? Why do you ask that?"
"Because we had people from the farm test the suspect, we found that he could basically remember some things that had happened in the past. It's normal that he couldn't remember some things occasionally."
"You mean this suspect can be basically confirmed to have lived on a farm?"
"Yes, because the person we found mainly talked to about things on the farm, and he knew a lot about it."
"Hey, this is interesting." Li Chu was stumped this time.
"I can't guarantee that there won't be any problems with the kinship test, because it's a relatively new technology, but I think it shouldn't cause any issues under normal circumstances."
"Then how do you explain this situation?"
"I really can't say for sure. By the way, why did his parents go to the farm?"
"She returned from studying in England."
Where did they live before they went to the farm?
"Their old home was in what is now Chaoyang District, but the house there is gone now. The suspect is currently..."
Sun Jianjun paused at this point, hesitating whether he should continue or not.
"Alright, I don't care where he lives now." Li Chu waved his hand. "How much do you know about his parents?"
"Well, all we know is some information from the files and some things we got from their former colleagues. We don't know the specifics."
"Come to my office with me first. I'll ask someone if they know anything about his parents."
? ? ?
"Oh? You know his parents?"
As soon as he said it, Sun Jianjun wanted to slap himself. How could someone without a name or surname possibly know?
Sure enough, Li Chu looked at him with the same care and concern he would show to a mentally challenged child.
"What could I possibly know? It's not like you've told me a lot of things."
"Hehe, slip of the tongue, but Brother Chu, who are you going to ask?" Sun Jianjun laughed awkwardly.
“I know someone who sent a lot of people to farms back then.”
You mean he might know this family?
"Well, it's only a possibility. But even if he didn't personally send it away, he should still know who did."
“Brother Chu, you know people like this? We’ve actually been trying to find out what happened back then, but as you know, the management was quite chaotic back then, and a lot of information is missing. We’ve talked to some people, but none of them can explain it clearly. We guess there are a lot of things that people don’t remember, but rather that no one is willing to talk about them.”
"The person I'm talking about was a minor leader back then, so he probably knows a bit more."
Hearing this, Sun Jianjun felt even more puzzled. He really didn't expect that Li Chu could actually deal with these people.
"Don't look at me with that strange look. I just met this person a long time ago, which is why we've kept in touch."
"Then...can he tell you the truth?"
"It should be about right, but I'll ask later."
Once in the office, Li Chu immediately picked up the phone on the table and dialed a number.
"Hey, this is Li Chu. Are you free at noon?"
...
"Okay, come over here, I'll show you some of the food in our cafeteria."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Sun Jianjun hadn't even sat down on the sofa when he stared at him in disbelief.
"Brother Chu, we're asking for a favor, isn't this a bit too much..."
He didn't say what it was, but Li Chu knew what he wanted to say.
"Don't worry, we're all brothers, no need for any formalities. He'll be here in twenty minutes at most."
After he finished speaking, he told Zhao Zhijun to bring the person up directly later.
Li Chu's prediction was very accurate; indeed, Chen He appeared at the office door in less than twenty minutes.
"Hey Chu, something's up today, isn't it? You even remembered to call me over for dinner. You, you have other guests here."
"Alright, sit down," Li Chu said, gesturing to the sofa.
"Let me introduce you. This is... just think of him as a police officer, Sun Jianjun, the director of the investigation department. Jianjun, this is Chen He from the supervisory committee."
After watching the two shake hands and sit down, he continued, "Chen He, my brother here has something to ask you about regarding his case. Please help him if you can."
