Chapter 331 I had to come in person
"Your uncle is quite elegant." After hearing the general idea, Dean Zhou gave up asking questions.
After dinner, Qiu Huoming rode Chang Gong’s bicycle towards the guesthouse.
The sunlight in the sky was gray, and the wind in the capital finally died down in the afternoon, with a hint of warmth surging in the air.
Qiu Huoming was sweating all over and finally arrived at the guesthouse.
After entering the room, he didn't have many things to begin with, so he put them all into a box, carried it in one hand, and went downstairs.
Checked out the room at the front desk.
Just as he was about to go out, two men in plain clothes came in from the gate and passed by Qiu Huoming.
"Open Qiu Huoming's room for me..." He vaguely heard the man who had just arrived behind him instructing the front desk.
“But he checked out…”
The front desk clerk sounded a little helpless, then came to his senses, "Hey, the person just left..."
Qiu Huoming, following inertia, had already clamped the box on the back seat. He lifted his foot and climbed into the car.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a somewhat shabby three-wheeled motorcycle parked in front of the guesthouse.
He kept walking and drove towards the gate.
There were hurried footsteps behind him, "Hey, Qiu Huoming, stop right there!"
Qiu Huoming didn't even turn his head. Only a fool would stop.
Not long after, the sound of a motor came from behind.
This is the motorcycle chasing us.
Qiu Huoming frowned. It would take more than twenty minutes to ride his bike to where Dean Zhou was. He was afraid that he would be stopped halfway.
"Stop..." The voice gradually got closer.
Qiu Huoming glanced around and saw an alley nearby. His tricycle was wide and his bicycle was small, so he might have a chance to escape if he went through the alley.
He didn't think that the other party would calmly let him go when he came to see him.
At this critical juncture, it would attract too much attention. He guessed that Mr. Zhao was trying to "kill the chicken to scare the monkey."
Unfortunately, I am the "chicken" and the origins of the two people behind me are unclear, so I have to hide away for now.
Qiu Huoming was highly focused. The alley was very quiet in the afternoon, with miscellaneous items placed nearby. He weaved left and right through these narrow places.
The pursuit behind him really stopped.
He just breathed a sigh of relief and looked up to see that the road ahead had reached the end.
He was not a local and was not familiar with the terrain here. This was also his first time walking in this alley.
He thought to himself, this is bad.
I turned my head and looked back. I heard hurried footsteps in the alley. The two men abandoned the motorcycle and ran over.
Qiu Huoming sighed.
The wall of this dead-end road was very high, but he could climb over it.
He locked the car, threw the box over, reached out to the top of the wall in one step, and then used all his strength to throw his whole body to the top of the wall.
There is an open space on the other side of the wall, and the street ahead.
He leaped down, bent down, picked up the box, and ran away.
When I got to the intersection, I stopped a tricycle and sat in the back, bending over.
The car drove out onto the street with a rumbling sound.
Qiu Huoming looked back through the narrow window behind him.
The two people haven't appeared yet. The speed of the car is not very fast, but it is definitely much faster than a person's walking speed.
They arrived at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and there was still no one chasing them. Qiu Huoming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
I don’t know whether Chang Gong’s bicycle can be found.
After getting off the car and paying the fare, he walked through the gate and strode towards Dean Zhou's office.
After finally sitting down in his office, Qiu Huoming told Dean Zhou what had just happened.
Dean Zhou frowned slightly, "Is the other party so fast?"
After being asked this question, Qiu Huoming was not sure. Could it be that it was not Mr. Zhao who was looking for him?
But who else could the other party find where he lived so accurately if not Mr. Zhao?
Just as Qiu Huoming thought of this, he suddenly had an idea. Something was wrong. Director Fu also knew that he lived here. He gave him his contact address and phone number.
Could it be that something happened to that batch of calligraphy and paintings?
Qiu Huoming honestly told Dean Zhou his guess.
Dean Zhou nodded, "It's possible. Logically speaking, you have settled the deal, so there shouldn't be any complications..."
"Could it be his surname Xu?" Qiu Huoming was a little unsure.
"Uncle Zhou, can you give me the phone number?" Qiu Huoming asked.
"Of course, go ahead." Dean Zhou couldn't figure it out for a moment, so he let him make the call while he continued to work at his desk.
Qiu Huoming was calling Xu Lang. During his visit to the capital, Xu Lang had told him to find some time to meet the Xu family's pillar of support, Xu Lang's great uncle. He should call him great-grandmaster.
I have learned the other party's boxing skills for so long, both for official and private reasons, I have to go to his house to at least pour a cup of tea, kowtow, and recognize my identity.
The call was answered by the main station, and soon Xu Lang's voice came from the microphone, "Huo Ming?"
"Hey, it's me, Master. I'm in Beijing now. I've been at the Chinese Academy of Sciences recently. I'm free these few days. Do you want to go visit my uncle-master?"
Xu Lang smiled and said, "Of course you have to go. Show him your boxing skills. He would like his boxing skills to be passed down to future generations. He has not been in good health recently. If you go, it will make him happy..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he hesitated for a moment, "Boy, did something happen to you? My left eyebrow keeps twitching..."
Qiu Huoming simply told him everything that had happened in the capital recently.
Xu Lang thought for a moment and said, "Go find my uncle today. I'll say hello to his security personnel and you can stay at his house for the next few days..."
Qiu Huoming responded, and Xu Lang continued: "I'll call you later..."
"Um……"
Qiu Huoming agreed obediently and then hung up the phone.
He muttered, "What a coincidence, they both have the last name Xu..."
He handed the box to Dean Zhou and said, "I won't take this box. I need to go out and look for an elder of mine. If the elder wants to stay overnight, I won't come over..."
Dean Zhou put his box on the cabinet and said, "Okay, be careful. If you don't come over at night, give me a call."
Qiu Huoming responded and walked out with his backpack on his back.
Before he even walked out of the door, he saw the two people who had been looking for him walking down the corridor. The one leading the way was a staff member here.
Qiu Huoming was stunned and quickly retreated back to Dean Zhou's office.
Dean Zhou asked, "What was left behind?"
"Why did they find us here?" Qiu Huoming said with a frown.
Dean Zhou stood up quickly, walked to the door, and looked over. Three people in the corridor were walking straight towards him.
When the employee saw Dean Zhou, he immediately smiled and said, "Dean, they are here to look for Xiao Qiu. They said there is a case that they want him to assist in investigating..."
Dean Zhou was stunned. "Case? What case? How could he, a student, be involved in a case..."
The employee stopped and vaguely discovered that the air pressure around Dean Zhou was a little low.
"Then I'll go back first." The employee turned around and walked away quickly.
The two men flashed their IDs and said, "My last name is Fang, and his last name is Chen. Is it convenient for us to go in and talk?"
"Let's go to the conference room." Dean Zhou pointed to the room at the end of the corridor.
"Okay." Fang poked his head into the room, pointed at Qiu Huoming and said, "Comrade Qiu Huoming, please cooperate..."
Qiu Huoming nodded. Since the other party had already found this place, hiding was no longer an option. Several people filed into the meeting room.
As soon as he sat down, Qiu Huoming asked, "What can I help investigate?"
Fang said: "Someone reported you, contact someone overseas..."
He didn't hide anything and told Qiu Huoming everything directly.
Qiu Huoming understood now that something had happened at the museum, and the Xu father and son had sued him...
Qiu Huoming simply reiterated that the other party was his uncle.
The other party came prepared, "We checked your file..."
Fang said, "You don't have any relatives overseas."
"My girlfriend has one, her uncle is my uncle..." Qiu Huoming frowned.
"Even if he is not my uncle, but I know him as a relative, what's wrong with that? Is it that the procedure is illegal?" Qiu Huoming asked.
"Now that the report has been received, we will definitely accept it. You come back to the station with us and sign the documents. If everything goes well, we will naturally let you go back..." said the man surnamed Fang.
Dean Zhou at the side interrupted and said, "This is obviously a false accusation. What does he, a student, know? His uncle likes this kind of cultural product, so he told him the news, and the other party transferred money to buy the product. What's wrong with this link?"
"Even if we have to investigate, we should investigate the curator and what happened to Guan Qiu Huoming." Dean Zhou defended himself.
Fang patiently explained, "So, he needs to come to the station to sign and explain the situation. If there is no problem, he can come back."
Qiu Huoming touched his nose. How come this talk was exactly the same as the one he gave last time in Yangcheng?
It would be strange if he believed it.
"I won't go. You can bring the documents here and I'll sign them..." Qiu Huoming refused to give in.
The man surnamed Fang and the man surnamed Chen looked at each other.
The man surnamed Fang stood up and said, "Comrade Qiu Huoming, please cooperate."
Qiu Huoming spread his hands and said, "I can't cooperate with this kind of thing. You can either bring the relevant documents here..."
Veins popped out on Fang's forehead. He endured it, lowered his head and whispered a few words into Chen's ear, then straightened up, "I'll go back..."
He left, but the man named Chen stayed there.
It looks like he is being watched.
Qiu Huoming asked: "Brother Chen, is this really the case?"
The man surnamed Chen nodded and said, "It's just a small matter."
"Didn't Mr. Zhao and the others come to say hello?" Qiu Huoming suddenly asked.
The other party was stunned, his eyes flickered, "I don't understand..."
This incident was probably just a coincidence. Qiu Huo analyzed it secretly and found that the other party had indeed made a report, but this report had no evidence. His own procedures were complete, so it did not need to be accepted at all.
It was probably at this time that instructions came from Mr. Zhao and others.
This way I have an excuse.
Two things merged.
The opponent's speed was indeed fast. Qiu Huoming's eyebrows twitched. He really was a person who was prone to getting into trouble.
Since Mr. Fang was not around, Qiu Huoming had no idea what he would do next.
He said to Dean Zhou: "Uncle Zhou, I'm going to make a phone call."
The man surnamed Chen stood up and said, "No, you cannot contact the outside world until the matter is clear..."
"I'll go and fight." Dean Zhou stood up.
Chen shook his head and stretched out his hand to stop him. "President Zhou, please cooperate with me and don't complicate things. Let's talk about it after my colleague comes back..."
Dean Zhou snorted coldly, "I have to go back to my office to work. You guys stay here and wait for others."
Seeing that Dean Zhou did not ask Qiu Huoming who to look for, the other party thought that he had given up the idea.
He immediately nodded and said, "President Zhou, please do as you please."
Dean Zhou reached out and patted Qiu Huoming on the shoulder, "Be at ease."
Qiu Huoming nodded helplessly, "Okay."
The door of the conference room closed again.
Now, there are only me and this guy named Chen left here.
Qiu Huoming took out his textbook from his backpack. Since he couldn't go out, he decided to just focus on reviewing his lessons.
The man surnamed Chen came over to take a look and was somewhat surprised at how careless Qiu Huoming was.
He sat back in his chair and shook his head with some regret about this young and foolish man. This time the matter would only be a big one, not a small one.
Forty minutes later, a small team arrived, led by a man named Fang. He was holding a newly approved document in his hand. This scene caused a sensation in the hospital.
The door to the conference room was opened again.
Fang held up the document in his hand and said to Qiu Huoming with a smile: "Let's go, Comrade Qiu Huoming."
Qiu Huoming slowly put his textbooks into his backpack.
stood up.
Dean Zhou was standing in the corridor and he winked at Qiu Huoming.
Just at this moment, there was another burst of noise outside.
Then there was silence.
Mr. Fang was a little surprised that his subordinates guarding the door did not come to report the situation.
He walked quickly towards the corridor, but before he could go down.
I saw two men, one old and one young, slowly walking up the stairs.
The young man supported the old man, and both of them walked very slowly.
Neither of them said anything, but everyone who saw it stood there in a daze, silent as a mouse.
They went upstairs and continued walking slowly in the corridor. It was obvious that the old man was not feeling well, probably because he had some injuries.
Qiu Huoming saw it right in front of him.
Without saying a word, he knelt down in front of the old man and kowtowed three times in a row: "Uncle-master, I am an unfilial grandson and have asked you to come in person..." He said this from the bottom of his heart. He had thought of many endings, but he never expected that the old man would actually come in person.
He knew that the old man had been in poor health recently, and this friendship was too heavy to bear.
The old man stretched out his hand and wiped it from his forehead to the back of his head. His movements were brisk and his voice was still loud. "I have been waiting for you for a long time, but you didn't come. I, with my old bones, had no choice but to come here myself."
"Stop kowtowing, we don't do this. Let's go home." His smile was friendly, making Qiu Huoming feel warm in his heart.
Qiu Huoming responded, got up from the ground, reached out to hold the old man's other arm, and followed the young man on both sides, supporting the old man and walking back.
Mr. Fang paused where he was, feeling cold sweat on his forehead.
The scene fell into an eerie silence.
