Chapter 473: Chapter 0475: Really Related

Jian Chunqiu only heard the name "Mr. Chu" and subconsciously thought they were referring to Chu Ge.

Without much hesitation, he inquired, "Chu Ge does indeed have a strong presence, but compared to me... tsk, it falls quite short."

Chu Ge hasn’t lived even a fraction of his years, yet the aura of a superior is something ordinary people can’t match.

Compared to him, well, that’s quite a gap indeed.

Finally catching Chu Ge off guard and absent, he was all set to grandstand.

Shen Congwen and Tang Xin exchanged glances, both speculating on the old man’s relationship with Chu Ge.

"Do you know Mr. Chu?" Shen Congwen asked doubtfully, familiar with Chu Ge’s standing in Shanghai; very few could address Chu Ge by his full name. Even the heads of the Four Great Families reverently called him Mr. Chu, and here was this elder who used Chu Ge’s full name, speaking as though he had a close relationship with him.

Tang Xin also suppressed her previous irritation from Jian Chunqiu’s unreasonable gaze, now curiously looking at Jian Chunqiu.

Jian Chunqiu nodded slightly, deliberately being cagey.

"More than just an acquaintance."

Jian Chunqiu stroked his beard and poured himself a cup of tea, "If we’re talking seniority, he ought to call me ’Uncle.’"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xin was somewhat incredulous, "You’re saying Mr. Chu calls you uncle? Sir, with your age, you could be his grandfather!"

What Tang Xin meant was clearly that Jian Chunqiu was old, but he just smiled and nodded, pointing to his nose, "Young lady, you’re quite right. I could well be Chu Ge’s great-grandfather, pity though, I’m of the same generation as his old man, so I can’t claim much advantage. Alas, blame it on my lower seniority; I can only have him call me ’Uncle.’"

Tang Xin almost spit out her drink upon hearing this.

Her bewildered gaze laid upon Jian Chunqiu. Having a few exchanges with this old man was exasperating!

Just then, Jian Chunqiu’s phone rang; it was Zhao Wuji calling.

Typically, the guy wouldn’t call him for no reason, so Jian Chunqiu answered without hesitation.

As soon as he picked up, he heard Zhao Wuji’s anxious voice, "Elder Jian, something bad happened, Mr. Chu is in trouble."

Jian Chunqiu’s eyes narrowed, his face growing serious, "What’s going on?"

"The auction has ended, Mr. Chu got the secret manual, and the Japanese aren’t happy. Most likely they’re on his tail now. Mr. Chu’s phone is unreachable, what can we do?"

Jian Chunqiu frowned slightly, "Got it."

After hanging up, Jian Chunqiu stood up, as if he recalled something; he turned back, giving Shen Congwen and Tang Xin a stern look, "You two kids, what’s your relationship with Chu Ge?"

Tang Xin pouted, "Friends, of course."

Shen Congwen nodded, his guard completely down around Jian Chunqiu, "Well, friends, I guess."

After all, someone as lofty as Mr. Chu, whether they could truly be called friends, he couldn’t be certain, so his answer was tentative.

Jian Chunqiu couldn’t care less about that; he urgently needed someone to show him the way.

"Since you’re friends with Chu Ge, follow me now. Chu Ge has run into some tricky trouble."

Jian Chunqiu waved his hand, urging them to quickly leave with him.

However, Shen Congwen and Tang Xin remained seated, "Why should we go just because you say so? What if you are a scammer?"

"Besides, we’ve seen Mr. Chu’s capabilities. How could he have problems he can’t solve!"

Tang Xin scoffed.

She was utterly confident in Chu Ge’s abilities; in her mind, he was an invincible godlike figure. Problems? Non-existent. He’s the kind to give problems to others!

Seeing their disbelief, Jian Chunqiu didn’t say much more, only asking, "How do I get to Dang City? Or does anyone have a car I could borrow?"

Tang Xin completely misunderstood Jian Chunqiu, "Oh, I get it! You’re a fraud! Pretending to be Mr. Chu to swindle people! Thinking of scamming our car? Believe it or not, I’ll call the police on you!"

Shen Congwen squinted a bit, observing Jian Chunqiu. The man carried an air of righteousness about him—an air that couldn’t possibly belong to a fraud.

Jian Chunqiu, listening to Tang Xin, was left somewhat speechless, shaking his head. He might as well fly over directly.

As Jian Chunqiu stepped out of the restaurant, Shen Congwen hurried after him.

"Sir, I’d be willing to give you a lift."

When it came to understanding people, Shen Congwen was certainly more adept than Tang Xin.

Jian Chunqiu was surprised, "You don’t think I’m a scammer?"

Shen Congwen chuckled, "The aura of righteousness you possess couldn’t deceive anyone. I believe you’re not a fraud, and I’m also worried that Mr. Chu might actually be in danger."

These past days, Su City seemed calm on the surface, but underneath, currents were surging; you never knew when or where things might erupt.

Jian Chunqiu simply patted Shen Congwen on the shoulder, "Good lad, when I see Chu Ge, I’ll speak highly of you. That kid has a decent influence in Shanghai, even with those big families he has some sway."

Truth be told, when Shen Congwen rushed out, he hadn’t thought of this, but now that the elder mentioned it, he didn’t refuse, smiling slightly, "I’m grateful, sir."

Shen Congwen was driving, Jian Chunqiu in the passenger seat, and Tang Xin sat in the back with a disgruntled face.

Initially, Tang Xin didn’t want to come, but seeing Shen Congwen insist, she followed to take a look.

If the old man was speaking the truth and Mr. Chu was indeed in danger, how could they, the Tang Family, be absent?

"Sir, do you know where Mr. Chu is right now?"

Jian Chunqiu shook his head slightly, taking out his phone to call Chu Ge.

The phone rang for a while before being answered.

"Brat! Where are you?"

Jian Chunqiu asked bluntly as soon as the call connected.

Chu Ge spoke with a relaxed tone, "Uncle Jian, I’ve already shaken off that pest. I’m on my way back to Su City now."

Jian Chunqiu had the call on speaker, so Tang Xin and Shen Congwen heard everything distinctly.

Tang Xin’s eyes flickered uncertainly as she glanced at Jian Chunqiu, silently sitting there, no longer speaking.

So, the elder truly had a connection with Chu Ge!

And Chu Ge even addressed him affectionately as Uncle Jian!
