After taking a glance at the time, it was already around five o'clock in the afternoon when he came out of the forest, Chen Ge stepped on the gas and rushed back to the Guo family at nine o'clock late at night.
When he knew that Chen Ge had returned, Guo Lintian immediately called Bai Xiaofei to the parlour. And he told the butler to wait outside. Chen Ge had just entered the door and met with the butler.
"Uncle Guo, have those few friends of mine come yet?" Chen Ge asked as soon as he walked into the meeting room.
"What friends?" Guo Lintian was a little puzzled.
"Nothing, maybe they haven't arrived yet, please pack out three guest rooms, a few of them might have to stay here for a while, until after rescuing Miss Liang Lu. Then leave again." Calculating the time, Chen Ge knew that the ghost calculator and the others would probably arrive in about an hour or so.
"That's no problem, but it's you who came back in the rain. Hurry up and change your clothes!" Seeing that Chen Ge's soaked clothes were still dripping with water, he said in a hurry.
"Mhm." Chen Ge nodded his head and walked out again, led by the housekeeper.
Ten minutes later, Chen Ge changed into clean clothes and also took a cold shower in the process, making his whole body look very fresh.
"Did it go well?" Guo Lintian asked as soon as Chen Ge came in again.
"It went well, very well." Chen Ge nodded and responded.
"We have the latest breakthrough here as well, we may have found out who the person was that took Liang Lu away halfway." A smile appeared on Guo Lintian's face.
"Who?" Chen Ge immediately asked.
"Chen Mingyong." Guo Lintian glanced at the butler and said without thinking.
"Don't know this person." Chen Ge thought for a moment.
"You shouldn't know him if you only hear his name, but he has known you for a long time." Guo Lintian said with a smile.
"Oh? Could it be someone I've offended?" Hearing Guo Lintian say that, Chen Ge understood somewhat, after all, he had offended quite a few people over the years, and there must be quite a few that he didn't know about and had offended without realising it.
"It's sort of like that."
"This Chen Mingyong is the head of the South Vietnam War Department's sea area. When you arrived in South Vietnam this time, he had applied to Lu Chengkun to directly send out a warship to wipe you out at sea. But he was firmly refused by Lu Chengkun." The butler spoke up and said for Guo Lin Tian.
"Do you mean to say that he wanted to capture Liang Lu and thus threaten me?" Chen Ge mulled it over and asked.
"That seems to be the case now, and according to the people I know in the War Department. Chen Mingyong is hardly ever inside the War Department these days, and is very cautious when he leaves, even taking a dozen or so stand-in soldiers with him. Also from the War Ministry's equipment department, he received a batch of equipment."
Guo Lintian continued to tell Chen Ge everything he knew.
"That's not right." Chen Ge analyzed, frowning slightly.
"What's not right?" Bai Xiaofei, who hadn't spoken, hurriedly opened his mouth to ask.
"If this Chen Mingyong kidnapped Liang Lu to try to threaten me only after Lu Chengkun didn't accept his offer to make a move on me in the sea, then this is the wrong time."
"Little Fei. How long has Liang Lu been missing?"
Chen Ge rubbed his chin and asked.
"It must have been a week, the upper levels received news from the Liang family five days ago, and it took another two or three days before they told me." Bai Xiaofei didn't hesitate.
"But it's only been three days since we arrived in South Vietnam." Chen Ge said.
"Could it be that it was supposed to be two things. It just happened to coincidentally collide."
"Before you went back to South Vietnam, Chen Mingyong got the information from somewhere and thus kidnapped Liang Lu. Trying to lure you back here so as to make a move on you, and at that moment you happened to return."
Guo Lintian tapped his fingers on the tabletop. Analyzed.
"It's not impossible." Chen Ge felt that what Guo Lintian said made sense.
"I've already asked my friend to continue to keep an eye on Chen Mingyong, so if he makes any other unusual moves, he will definitely still tell me in time, and then we can just follow and then see where he goes to get Liang Lu out... What do you think, Chen Ge, is there a better way?" Guo Lintian continued.
"This method would be good." Chen Ge nodded his head, as far as the current situation was concerned. The method Guo Lintian said was the only way, other than that there was simply no other chance of finding Liang Lu.
"Master, there are some people coming outside, saying that they are friends of Mr. Chen Ge." As he said that, a subordinate came in with an umbrella.
"How many people?" Chen Ge asked.
"I think it was three. It was too dark and I didn't see too clearly." The subordinate hesitated for a moment.
"Please come in." Chen Ge nodded his head.
"What are the identities of these three?" Guo Lintian inquired, although he knew that Chen Ge wouldn't just bring people in, but as the head of the family, he naturally had to get to know the guests who came to the house as guests.
"One is a friend of mine, one is a young lady from the Japanese Futaba family, and the other is an elder from a Japanese family, all of whom know each other by heart, so don't worry Uncle Guo." Chen Ge spoke up and introduced them.
"Mm, then I'm relieved." Guo Lintian made a note of it.
As he spoke. The three of them were led to the parlour by the underlings.
The butler also immediately took out three new cups and made hot tea.
"I didn't expect you kid to know such a big family in South Vietnam, but I've heard that the Guo family's status in South Vietnam is not low." Before he even walked in. One could hear Elder Zhou's vicissitudes and mid-air voice.
"Senior Zhou." Chen Ge immediately got up and went up to him, arching his hand.
And seeing that it was such an old man who had entered, Guo Lin Tian also got up after him. He knew that even Chen Ge was so respectful, he was definitely not some ordinary person.
"Master of the Guo family, I've heard a lot about you." After entering the door. Old Master Zhou met Guo Lin Tian by arching his hand to him.
"Old man has come a long way, sit down and rest." Guo Lintian smiled and nodded, then pointed to the seat beside Chen Ge and said.
"Calling us here, is that matter of yours settled?" When the three of them sat down, Elder Zhou continued to speak and asked.
"There has been progress, but it will still take a little while if we want to solve it." Chen Ge said as he brought the tea to Elder Zhou.
"Chen Ge ah, you guys just stay here and chat, it's already late now, I should also go back to rest, the guest room is all ready, when you guys are resting for the night, just have the underlings bring it directly."
Thinking that Chen Ge and them would be talking about some other things next, Guo Lin Tian gave the butler a look, and after he finished, the two of them walked one after the other, towards the outside.
"Thank you, Master Guo for your hospitality!" Elder Zhou waved his hand at Guo Lintian's back.
When the two men left with their umbrellas, Chen Ge got up and closed the door of the parlour behind him.
"Calling us here, is there any progress?" The smile on Elder Zhou's face disappeared and he asked in a low voice.
