Chapter 249 Tan Guosheng, have you seen that child?

Wu Yunkai turned around.

He looked at Old Master Shen.

Upon seeing this, he was secretly surprised.

He was quite knowledgeable, and he could tell from the imposing aura emanating from Old Master Shen that he was no ordinary person. He quickly came back and asked politely.

"Hello, sir. I am Wu Yunkai, the hotel manager. May I ask who you are?"

Instead of answering his question, Old Master Shen repeated what he had said.

"I'm looking for Yan Liti, Comrade Yan."

Old Master Shen glanced at the family of five staring intently at him on the other side, silently exhaled, and continued, "I am Comrade Yan's wife, Shen Tuo."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wei Xingzhi.

Wei Xingzhi walked over, opened his briefcase, took out their identification documents, and handed them to Wu Yunkai.

Upon seeing this, Wu Yunkai gasped in shock.

However, he has been in this line of work for quite some years.

Although he was surprised by the identity of the newcomer, he did not show any unusual expression on his face.

Instead, he respectfully said to Old Master Shen, "Comrade Shen, I apologize, but our hotel has rules and regulations that prohibit us from disclosing guests' information to others."

After thinking for a moment, he added, "However, since you are Comrade Yan's wife, I believe you know how to contact her. You can contact her yourself after checking into the hotel. Each room is equipped with a telephone, which you can use at will."

Wu Yunkai was unaware of the relationship between Yan Liti and Shen Tuo. He was simply stating his opinion in accordance with the hotel's rules and regulations, and there was no sarcasm in his words.

But whether his words reached Old Master Shen's ears or the Tan family's ears, they were like a soft nail.

It stung so badly it covered people in bumps.

I still can't find the mistake.

Shen Tuo's expression was not good.

However, he didn't make things difficult for Wu Yunkai. Instead, he had Wei Xingzhi complete the check-in procedures and planned to call Yan Liti again.

Because of his leg problems, Chen Tuo lives on the first floor.

As Wei Xingzhi pushed him toward the corridor, he looked at Old Master Tan, who was grinning at him with an unusually sly smile, and felt that something was off.

Meanwhile, on this side...

After arriving at the office.

Wu Yunkai said directly, "Comrades, here's the thing: our boss has already left the hotel."

"You've gone back to your hometown for the Chinese New Year. Do you want to stay here for a few more days and let me host you, or would you like to go to the boss's hometown to find someone?"

"To be honest, I don't know where our boss's house is, but he said you do. How about this, it's getting late, why don't you rest here for the night and decide tomorrow?"

"What about Comrade Shen?" Dou Yufeng asked.

"Comrade Shen, I know even less about that. We usually can't inquire about the whereabouts of guests, let alone Comrade Shen." Wu Yunkai really didn't know either.

The Tan family of five had no choice but to stay in a hotel.

After dropping off their luggage in their room, the five of them went out to eat.

During the meal, Grandpa Tan specially asked Tan Hongwei to invite Grandpa Shen.

When Grandpa Shen got to his room, he tried calling the phone number he had used before, but he couldn't get through no matter how many times he tried. Just as he was getting increasingly frustrated, the doorbell rang.

Upon learning that it was Grandpa Tan who had invited him to dinner, Grandpa Shen initially had little appetite, but then, as if remembering something, he looked at Tan Hongwei and asked, "I heard that you called me a couple of days ago?"

During the years that Grandpa Shen lived in the military sanatorium, apart from contacting Yan Liti, Shen Qingyan, and Shen Qingrong, very few people called him.

Tan Hongwei called him a couple of days ago. The military sanatorium didn't answer at first, but they called back later and found out it was Tan Hongwei who called.

The sanatorium would naturally inform him of this matter.

Grandpa Shen hadn't thought much of it before, assuming that Grandpa Tan had arrived home and was just letting him know he was safe, or that he had something to say to him.

However, considering the smug look on Old Master Tan's face outside just now, Old Master Shen suddenly felt that things might not be so simple.

Tan Hongwei was taken aback when his grandfather asked about this.

Having learned Qiao Qiao's true identity, he went to town to make a phone call.

He first called Shen Qingyan's pager, unsure if Shen Qingyan was on a mission at the time and afraid of delaying important matters, so he took the phone number given to him by Grandpa Tan and called Grandpa Shen, who was at the sanatorium.

However, Mr. Shen did not receive a call. Instead, a staff member from the military sanatorium called back to say that Mr. Shen had been discharged from the hospital due to other matters.

Then, less than a minute later, Shen Qingyan called him back.

Then they rushed there as quickly as possible.

Because Grandpa Shen didn't answer the phone, Tan Hongwei forgot about it and didn't tell Shen Qingyan about it afterwards.

I never expected that Grandpa Shen would ask about this now.

Having served in the army for over a decade, Tan Hongwei had developed a habit that made him instinctively stand at attention and respectfully answer Old Master Shen's question: "Yes, sir."

"So what is it you need?" asked Old Master Shen.

Tan Hongwei looked troubled.

He didn't know whether he should say it or not.

The Shen family's affairs seem to be quite complicated.

Tan Hongwei was not Wu Yunkai after all; he lacked Wu Yunkai's smoothness. Coupled with his ingrained obedience to his superiors, he quickly revealed the reason for the previous phone call.

"You mean, the child was lost before, and you found that child?"

"Yes, sir."

"So you came here this time also to find that child? Is this what you mean by 'visiting relatives'?"

"Yes, sir."

Old Master Shen lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment.

"In that case, let's go. I'll go eat with you."

When Tan Hongwei led Old Master Shen to the restaurant with a guilty look on his face, Old Master Shen was initially quite puzzled.

It wasn't until Old Master Shen directly asked him, "Tan Guosheng, have you seen that child?"

Grandpa Tan glared angrily at Tan Hongwei, his face full of disappointment: "How can your mouth be so big and so fast!"

Tan Hongwei lowered his head in shame.

"Where is that child now?" Old Master Shen asked, looking at Old Master Tan.

"Old man, what kind of question is that? You're his own grandfather, and you don't even know where he is, how would I know? I'm looking for him right now!"

While avoiding the main issues, the old man was once again trying to stab the old man in the back.

There was no other reason; he just wanted to wake this stupid old man up and make him understand the difference between close and distant relationships!

After all, we've been partners for over a decade; how could we just watch someone go down a dead-end path?

The reason Dou Yufeng accompanied him was ostensibly to see Old Master Shen make a fool of himself, but wasn't it also to help the father and son resolve their feud?

Even if the issue cannot be resolved, we must never allow an outsider to become our adversary.
