Chapter 651: Six hundred and forty-six people blocked the door to say thank you

Outside, countless people wish to see someone from the He Family.

But now Gu Chen doesn’t care about that at all.

Even if someone came to personally invite him, he remained indifferent, standing here.

He didn’t know what to say, as the situation seemed quite odd.

At this point, he didn’t continue to knock on the door and disturb, instead he left first.

In the room, Gu Chen had thrown away all the leftover food he had eaten.

The food he hadn’t touched, which was meant for Old Master Wei, was all left there.

After Old Master Wei would wake up, he would eat it himself.

Almost six hours passed by.

From early morning to dusk outside, Old Master Wei slowly regained consciousness.

Upon awakening, he looked utterly bewildered, as if he had no idea where he was.

Gu Chen then said to him, "Old Master, you’re finally awake. If you hadn’t woken up, I was planning to take you directly to the hospital.

Here’s the food I prepared for you. Please eat something, not eating won’t do."

Gu Chen helped him sit up and thoughtfully brought over the food and drink.

The old man indeed felt a bit hungry, having not eaten for nearly twenty hours.

However, when he saw the food, Old Master Wei didn’t have the slightest appetite.

"I don’t want to eat, these dishes are hardly palatable compared to yours.

You tell me, it’s the same simple ingredients, yet the taste is so different when the chef cooks them.

If every chef in the world had your skills, wouldn’t the taste buds of the common folk be in for a treat?"

He spoke with a hint of disdain on his face.

It wasn’t hard to see that his palate had been spoiled by Gu Chen.

Gu Chen replied directly, "Old Master, if others could make what I make, how would my restaurant continue to run?"

After saying that, Old Master Wei laughed heartily and said, "That makes sense. Indeed, rarity is the key to value. If only you could make this flavor in the whole world, that would be truly scarce. If everyone could do it, even the tastiest dish would become dull from overeating.

Just like how one needs bitterness to appreciate sweetness. Without sweetness, there’d be no concept of bitterness, and vice versa. Without the rough and poor ingredients, no one would see the value in what you make."

He nodded, then nonetheless picked up his chopsticks and started to eat the stir-fried food over rice.

He ate slowly, lacking the prior gusto of big bites of meat and swigs of wine when Gu Chen cooked for him.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, after he had finished eating, Old Master Wei wiped his mouth and said to Gu Chen, "It’s getting late. If we hurry now, my old classmate should still be awake."

"They live in Zixiang Residential Community, he mentioned it to me last time, it’s probably 502 if I remember correctly," he added.

Having said this to Gu Chen, of course, Gu Chen didn’t know where it was.

With so many residential communities around, they could only ask around one by one.

In any case, seeing his old comrade was the most important thing to Old Master Wei now.

Thinking of all this, Gu Chen quickened his pace a lot.

He hurriedly tidied up the messy stuff, and then quickly took Old Master Wei outside.

Once outside, Gu Chen approached a passerby. He didn’t ask anything else, only inquired about where Zixiang Residential Community was.

After asking around, it turned out that no one had heard of Zixiang Residential Community.

Gu Chen had no choice but to drive first.

And so, he drove around, occasionally rolling down the window at red lights to ask for directions, but still couldn’t locate the exact site.

Finally, after exerting great effort, he learned some news.

"Zixiang Residential Community was demolished three years ago, and now that place has turned into a factory area," Gu Chen reported to the old master.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Wei’s face was filled with regret.

The only address of his comrade-in-arms, now completely demolished.

His heart was incredibly sour, for that was his old war comrade, the one with whom he had faced life and death countless times.

He was also a soldier under his command, and now, unexpectedly, there was no news of him.

"Well, perhaps it’s all down to fate," he heaved a long sigh at that moment.

He no longer harbored any hope for these matters.

Now that the person can’t even be found, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say, whether they are alive or dead has become an unknown.

Hearing this, Gu Chen could only sigh helplessly.

Finding someone after a redevelopment is no easy task.

If it were in Chuan City, with Wei Tianfu’s capabilities, looking up a person wouldn’t be too difficult.

But here, it was not possible.

"Birds of the mountains and fish of the sea follow different paths," if one cannot be found, it might truly be that their fated time has ended.

"Shall we go back and continue sleeping?" Gu Chen asked Old Master Wei.

"Sleep? Sure, let’s go back and sleep. Consider this trip a breath of fresh air," Old Master Wei quickly stopped dwelling on the matter.

Gu Chen drove back to the hotel, to the same room as before.

But when they returned to their floor, they found quite a few people standing outside their room door.

Among them was the man in the suit that they had seen at noon.

In addition to him, there were many other men in suits who looked very formal.

Seeing this scene, Gu Chen was somewhat puzzled and didn’t understand what it meant.

As he approached, Secretary Jin stepped forward.

Then he said to Gu Chen, "Mr. Gu, the family has arrived."

It was then that Gu Chen realized.

Considering he hadn’t gone to them, they must have taken the initiative to come to him, which seemed a bit too persistent.

Soon, he identified the so-called family members among the crowd.

One was a middle-aged man wearing a simple white shirt, exuding an air of leadership.

Standing next to him was a much younger woman who appeared to be in her mid-twenties, a recent graduate perhaps.

Upon seeing Gu Chen, the woman was the first to approach.

She took hold of Gu Chen’s hand as she came up.

Then, with deep gratitude, she said, "Mr. Gu, thank you for saving my father. If it weren’t for you, I might never have seen my dad again."

As she spoke, she was on the verge of tears.
