Chapter 673: 668 Mei Kai’er du Hongmen Yan

"I came today because there’s something I wanted to tell you. I left in such a hurry that day, I didn’t get a chance to mention it. Old Master Wei, he went out of town to see a war comrade; I was the one who took him there."

That’s what Gu Chen said to him at this moment.

What Gu Chen hadn’t expected was that after hearing this, there wasn’t the slightest reaction from him.

It felt as if he had known about it long before, as if Gu Chen had done this act.

"I know, the He Family," he said at this moment.

Gu Chen was stunned for a moment.

What did those two words, know, mean?

He believed that Wei Tianfu would never say such things for no reason.

"Old Master said that he hasn’t seen this old war comrade in a long time, so I accompanied him on his visit. I had already arrived there the day before the visit and happened upon an old man while climbing the mountain. At the time, I didn’t think too much of it.

But unexpectedly, it turned out that the old man waiting for Old Master Wei was none other than the patriarch of the He Family."

Gu Chen then related the whole story to Wei Tianfu.

To his surprise, Wei Tianfu just nodded his head, appearing quite nonchalant.

"I know about this," he said. And now, it was Gu Chen who was puzzled.

Know, actually knows? Then why didn’t he take Old Master to see him?

It’s a shame that Old Master Wei can hardly remember the location of his own family home now. When we went there that day, we found out that Old Master He had already moved to another place and was now living in the hospital every day.

If Wei Tianfu knew, why not take Old Master Wei to visit this old war comrade?

When Old Master Wei saw his old comrade, he cried and wept bitterly.

Why couldn’t he allow Old Master to have that heartfelt reunion?

But at this moment, Wei Tianfu once again spoke to Gu Chen.

"You have to understand, both He Jing and I are very cautious individuals, and to us, the most important thing is to ensure that our reputations remain spotless.

Even though I know him, outside of our mission, I cannot afford to greet him too warmly.

Otherwise, it might lead to misunderstandings."

"Sometimes, those who are being investigated aren’t just insiders but include a portion of tourists who take secret photos and post them online as soon as they snap something unexpected.

Then, all kinds of messy accusations come pouring in, and even if I had the powers of a deity, I wouldn’t be able to handle that."

After he said this, Gu Chen always felt a sense of déjà vu.

It felt like the same sensation as being trapped under Marble Mountain back in the day."

"If he and I are in contact, that means neither of us can afford to make a mistake; should a mistake occur, we would have to bear all the responsibilities," Wei Tianfu continued with great caution.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen simply nodded in agreement.

"I suspect that in the coming days, there will likely be people watching me, probably wanting to inquire about my relationship with Old Master Wei. See, the first trouble has already arrived."

He had barely finished speaking when the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

He then directly answered the call, listening to the voice coming through from the other end.

Gu Chen couldn’t hear what was being said, but he could feel that the person on the other end of the phone was definitely not of low stature.

Because he always looked at everyone with a particularly strange expression.

It was as if he had slapped a label on everyone’s forehead, be it worth ten thousand, twenty thousand, or fifty thousand; in short, the more people, the better.

At that moment, Wei Tianfu slowly hung up the phone.

"He just called to inquire about my work with the He Family," he explained to Gu Chen.

Gu Chen, upon hearing this, became noticeably more anxious.

"What did they say? Is the problem serious?" Gu Chen urged him anxiously.

If I didn’t need that person for my plan, there would be no need to keep seeking them out.

Moreover, if my situation brought any negative impact to Wei Tianfu, that would truly be a loss greater than any gain.

It’s not like there was a particularly big issue, these matters can be seen as either significant or trivial depending on the viewpoint.

After I explained this to Gu Chen, he still seemed a bit bewildered.

Since when did these matters have a size associated with them?

"Actually, the main thing to prevent is the forming of cliques, which isn’t an issue here at all.

I believe that He Jin has already received this call."

Wei Tianfu took a moment to explain to Gu Chen.

Upon hearing this, Gu Chen fully understood.

"As long as there’s no impact, that’s good. What I fear most is any kind of negative influence."

Gu Chen let out a sigh of relief.

Anyway, as long as nothing has gone wrong, it’s not an issue.

"Truth be told, I should thank you. I’ve been so busy every day, I haven’t had time to accompany the old master to visit there.

It would be untrue to say that the Old Master Wei doesn’t miss it after all these years. It would do him good if you could take the time to bring him over," Wei Tianfu said to Gu Chen at that moment.

As he spoke, his tone was very polite.

"It’s nothing, I didn’t do much, mainly because I had nothing much going on anyway."

Gu Chen appeared very nonchalant at that moment.

The two of them chatted casually about various things.

Basically, they talked about business matters.

After the conversation, Gu Chen decided to leave right away.

He had returned home and started to cook dinner for his family.

Every day seemed like a repetition of the last.

He prepared a large table full of dishes.

Once Yuan Yuan and Ji Pianran returned, they could eat right away.

And before the two of them came back,

the phone at Gu Chen’s house suddenly rang.

Curious, Gu Chen went over and answered the call.

After connecting, he heard a woman’s voice on the line.

"Hello, may I speak with Gu Chen?"

Upon hearing the voice, Gu Chen was curious, not understanding who this distinguished person was that looked for him.

"I am Gu Chen, may I know who is calling?"

Gu Chen directly asked her in response.

"I am Boss Zhao’s secretary. Boss Zhao would like to invite you to dinner tonight at our Midnight Nightclub."

Upon hearing that the call was from the nightclub, Gu Chen was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected that the matter Brother Zhu Zi mentioned would come up so quickly.

It seemed these people were planning to discuss how to collaborate for a win-win situation.

I recall the last time such a banquet took place was with Liu Dahai, and a lot of conflict ensued that night.

I wonder if tonight’s gathering would amount to another such banquet.

"I understand, I will be there later."
