Chapter 457 Guo Tao's Guilt
When Wei Sheng saw Chen Linqiong stop, he also stopped and looked in the direction Chen Linqiong was looking.
It turned out to be an ordinary man, dressed like an ordinary countryman, with a patched sack at his feet.
Wei Sheng didn't find anything suspicious, so he turned to ask Chen Linqiong,
"Miss Chen, what's wrong with this person?"
"Is there something wrong with this person?"
The only person who can make Chen Linqiong stop and pay attention now is the second young master of the Chen family.
But when he looked at the man's clothes and appearance, it was unlikely that this was the former influential figure, Chen Ershao?
Although he didn't think this man was Chen Zhong, he was still prepared to go forward and search.
Guo Tao was frightened when he saw both of them staring at Chen Zhong.
If Chen Zhong was discovered right after arriving, he really didn't know how to explain to the organization. If he was discovered here, he probably wouldn't be able to get away, and even Lin Ruotang would probably be implicated.
Nothing must happen to Chen Zhong, he must come up with a plan.
He saw the bowl of water on the table and an idea came to his mind.
She looked down at Dongsheng who was biting his fingers and gave him an apologetic look.
Dongsheng didn't know why he was smiling at him. He smiled and took the bowl from Guo Tao's hand.
"you…"
She was about to say something when she heard a "pop".
She turned her head and found that the bowl in the child's hand had fallen to the ground.
"You kid, there are only a few bowls at home, and you broke them. What are you going to eat in the evening? Don't even eat!"
Guo Tao scolded Dongsheng with an angry look on his face.
Dongsheng was confused and aggrieved. Just as he was about to catch the bowl, it fell. He didn't break it, so he cried out "Wow".
"Dad, Dad, it's Dongsheng's fault, stop scolding..."
Seeing the tears streaming down Dongsheng's face, Guo Tao couldn't bear it. He frowned, looked even angrier, and raised his voice.
"You prodigal child, you did something wrong and you are not allowed to speak."
Wei Sheng was very dissatisfied and turned back to Guo Tao and said:
“It’s just a bowl…”
Guo Tao said to Wei Sheng with a bitter look on his face:
"Captain Wei, you know the currency has depreciated again and it's hard to make money. If it weren't for Inspector Lin taking care of my business, I wouldn't be able to keep this store open. I know she's doing this for Dongsheng's sake, but life is tough right now. This sack of money I have can only buy two kilograms of coarse grain!"
After hearing this, Wei Sheng remembered Guo Tao crying just now and how miserable his family was. His voice became lowered for a moment, and he took out a dollar and slammed it on the table.
"Alright, alright, stop secretly saying that I'm delaying your business!"
Guo Tao immediately grabbed the money, put it in his sleeve, and walked beside him with a smile on his face, blocking Chen Zhong's figure.
"Captain of the Guard, come back next time. I have a wide variety of books here. There is always something that interests you."
Wei Sheng and Chen Linqiong looked at each other and walked out of the room together.
Only then did Guo Tao go into the house to pick up the broken bowls.
Wei Sheng remembered something and turned to Chen Linqiong and asked:
"By the way, Miss Chen, why were you staring at that person just now?"
Chen Linqiong shook her head. How could her handsome and handsome second uncle be like that? His hands were so rough that they looked like tree bark.
"Nothing, let's go!"
Only after seeing the two men leave did Guo Tao completely breathe a sigh of relief. He gave Chen Zhong a look and told him to leave quickly.
Chen Zhong returned to his hotel and smiled bitterly.
It was funny that his eldest niece couldn't even recognize her uncle in front of him.
He looked at his face and hands, his heart was calm, but he was uneasy about Chen Linqiong's appearance. He murmured:
"Has Chen Linqiong become like Chen Fu?"
The more he thought about it, the more worried he became about his father. His father was already very old and couldn't stand the hardship anymore. He didn't know if Chen Linqiong would become more and more excessive.
After Chen Zhong left, Guo Tao hugged Dongsheng.
"It's Dad's fault. Dad just wronged you. Don't cry, Dongsheng!"
Dongsheng stopped crying and said to Guo Tao:
"Dad, don't be angry, don't abandon Dongsheng, Dongsheng doesn't want to become a wild child!"
Guo Tao's expression changed, and he immediately asked:
"Who called you a wild child?"
"They said Dongsheng was picked up and was unwanted by others!"
Dongsheng lowered his head in grievance, tears falling from his round cheeks.
Guo Tao felt bad. It was impossible for him to argue with others because he had raised his own children. He guessed that the children had learned it from hearing adults talking.
He took Dongsheng's hand seriously and said to him:
"Dongsheng is not a wild child. You are Daddy's little helper. Daddy relies on Dongsheng's help in many things. If it weren't for Dongsheng, Daddy wouldn't know what to do!"
Hearing what Guo Tao said, Dongsheng stopped crying and asked curiously:
"really?"
"real!"
After Guo Tao finished speaking, he wiped the tears from Dongsheng's cheeks and sat with him on his knees.
"Dongsheng, you can help Dad. Dad and you agree on a secret code."
Guo Tao gave a thumbs up and said to Dongsheng:
"If you see Daddy give you a thumbs-up, you cry and make a fuss. If Daddy gives you his pinky finger, you say you have a stomachache!"
Dongsheng nodded in confusion and said with a smile:
"I know how to do it!"
Guo Tao raised his thumbs up, Dong Sheng cried loudly, Guo Tao raised his little finger, Dong Sheng touched his belly,
"My stomach hurts, my stomach hurts."
Guo Tao nodded with satisfaction, touched Dongsheng's head and said:
"When Dongsheng grows up a little, Dad will tell you a secret."
Dongsheng looked at Guo Tao with white hair on his temples curiously.
"What a secret!"
"When Dongsheng grows up a little, Dad will tell you."
Dongsheng was so curious that he kept pestering Guo Tao.
"Tell me!"
"Tell me!"
Guo Tao refused to say anything more, so Dongsheng could only give up with regret, but he was secretly looking forward to growing up.
Although Lin Ruotang didn't say anything during this visit, Guo Tao guessed that it was probably related to Wei Sheng, otherwise Wei Sheng would have been asking him about his affairs like checking his household registration.
But he was very worried about Chen Zhong.
The Miss Chen just now should be Chen Zhong’s niece, but I didn’t expect that the uncle and niece didn’t recognize each other when they met.
On this side, Chen Linqiong looked at the photo in his hand, his eyes full of confusion.
The man in the photo is wearing a suit and holding a top hat. He spreads his hands out in a handsome and cool manner, looking like he is about to hug someone.
"Second Uncle, have you arrived in Tianjin?"
She murmured, with doubt and confusion in her eyes. Since she was here, why didn't she know about it? How did she avoid so many searches?
"Jingle Bell!"
At this time, the phone rang.
Chen Linqiong picked up the phone. It was Chen Fu calling.
Chen Fu's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What's going on? Still no news from him?"
"Not recently. I think he should have arrived in Tianjin, but we haven't found him yet..."
After Chen Linqiong finished speaking, she felt Chen Fu was silent for a moment before she slowly spoke.
"Today I met someone from the Secret Service headquarters. They mentioned your second uncle and hinted to me that there should be no collective punishment. It is also a good story for two brothers to fight for their own ideals.
The key is to keep an eye on the old man and make sure nothing happens to him, otherwise it will be hard to control public opinion…"
This was obviously false. Chen Fu had already been affected, and the old man was not in good condition recently. Chen Linqiong was very worried. She turned her eyes,
"Father, I have an idea now. We should be able to catch my second uncle soon!"
