At 12:30 noon, Ye Chen drove slowly into Jinling University of Finance and Economics. At this time, the school had already reached lunch break time. There were many students walking together on the campus roads, mostly heading towards the cafeteria and dormitories, and some looked like
I am going to have a meal off campus.
He Zhiqiu asked Ye Chen: "Mr. Ye, will my father go to dinner? Do you want to contact him?"
Ye Chen nodded and said with a smile: "I will send him a voice call later, please don't say anything."
He Zhiqiu knew that Ye Chen just wanted to give his father a surprise, so he agreed: "Okay..."
Ye Chen parked his car under the administrative office building and called He Yuanjiang on WeChat.
As soon as the voice call request was sent, the other party connected immediately. Then, He Yuanjiang's voice came over: "Ye Chen, how are you doing over there?! Is there any progress?"
Ye Chen then said: "Uncle He, don't worry, the situation here is a little complicated and I can't explain it in a sentence or two."
He Yuanjiang hurriedly asked: "Then have you seen Zhiqiu?"
Ye Chen replied: "Not yet. The opposition guards are very tight. I'm still thinking of a way."
As he said that, Ye Chen asked him: "Has Uncle He had lunch?"
He Yuanjiang sighed: "How can I still be in the mood to eat? I have been restless from last night to now. I called you several times at first, but it showed that they were not in the service area. There must be no signal there, right?"
Ye Chen explained: "There is definitely no communication signal, so I can't make calls normally. However, I have a satellite Internet device here that can connect to the Internet through satellite, but the traffic fee is a bit expensive."
He Yuanjiang didn't notice anything unusual, but couldn't help but sigh: "This matter is really troublesome for you... No matter whether there is a chance to see Zhiqiu next, or whether there is a chance to rescue her, you must do it
Ensure your own personal safety.”
Ye Chen smiled and said: "Uncle He, don't worry, I will bring your daughter back home safely."
With that said, he hurriedly said: "Uncle He, I'll hang up now and let you know when there is progress."
He Yuanjiang could only say: "Then you must pay attention to safety!"
Ye Chen ended the voice call, and He Zhiqiu beside him couldn't help but ask him: "Then what should we do next?"
Ye Chen turned off the car, took out two disposable masks, put them on himself, and said to He Zhiqiu: "Put on the masks, let's go directly to your dad's office, he must be there."
He Zhiqiu knew that Ye Chen wanted to surprise his father, so he smiled and said, "Do you think my dad won't recognize me if I put on a mask?"
Ye Chen smiled and said: "I bet that as long as you don't talk, your dad will not recognize you."
"Impossible." He Zhiqiu shook his head and said firmly: "I just don't get along well with my dad, but it doesn't mean that our relationship is very tense and unfamiliar. He will definitely recognize me at a glance."
Ye Chen smiled slightly: "If you don't believe me, give it a try. Then you can knock on the door and see if he can recognize you."
He Zhiqiu pouted: "Okay, the loser will be treated to a meal!"
After saying that, he immediately put on the mask in cooperation.
After the two got off the car, they walked directly into the office building. He Zhiqiu followed Ye Chen and whispered nervously: "Do you know where my dad's office is? I've never been here before."
Ye Chen nodded: "I know, just feel free and follow me boldly."
At this time, He Yuanjiang was pacing back and forth in his office.
His only daughter was far away in Syria, and her life and death were uncertain. Naturally, he was extremely worried. Moreover, there was no clear progress from Ye Chen, and he didn't know whether his daughter could escape this disaster.
Because of the worries in his heart, He Yuanjiang repeatedly made mistakes during class today. He felt that his spirit had been stretched to the limit. If there was no news about his daughter today, he could only temporarily ask for leave from the school and go to Syria in person.
He also knew that he did not have the ability to save his daughter, and he might not even have the ability to reach the place where her daughter was being held. But he still hoped that he could be closer to his daughter in space. In that case, he would be able to find something in his heart.
Share comfort.
Just when he was restless, there was a sudden knock on the door.
His chaotic thoughts were forcibly interrupted, so he could only walk to the door and reach out to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, he saw a young and fashionable woman standing outside. However, the woman was wearing a mask. He did not see her appearance, so he asked in surprise: "Hello, what can I do for you?"
"
He Yuanjiang did not recognize his daughter standing in front of him.
This is not to say that he and his daughter are estranged, but that in his memory, his daughter He Zhiqiu has never worn such fashionable and feminine clothes.
In normal times, He Zhiqiu, although not a tomboy, always dresses simply and plainly, and rarely wears skirts. Because she graduated from Stanford University, her dressing style is almost the same as that of programmers in Silicon Valley. In summer, she wears T-shirts.
Pair it with jeans, a sweatshirt in winter, and a down jacket with jeans.
As for the girl in front of me, she looks very sophisticated and cares about her clothes. Her style is exactly like that of He Zhiqiu.
Moreover, he didn't think about his daughter at all. After all, in his subconscious, his daughter was thousands of kilometers away in Syria and there was no way she would suddenly come to him.
He Zhiqiu didn't expect that his father really didn't recognize him.
She looked up and down at He Yuanjiang with wide eyes. In addition to surprise, there was also a hint of hint in her eyes.
However, He Yuanjiang was not in that mood at all and carefully tried to figure out the meaning in her eyes.
Seeing that the girl in front of him was only staring at him but not speaking, He Yuanjiang had no patience to continue spending time here and said directly: "If nothing happens, please come back."
After saying that, he closed the door directly.
He Zhiqiu outside the door was completely stunned.
I never dreamed that my father would not be able to recognize me just because he was wearing a mask.
Not only could he not recognize himself, but he also closed the door.
Ye Chen, who was leaning against the wall, looked at her with a smile on his face and asked in a low voice: "How are you? Are you convinced?"
He Zhiqiu said angrily: "At worst, I'll just treat you to dinner tonight!"
Ye Chen waved his hand: "Not tonight, I have to go home at night, my wife is still waiting for me at home."
He Zhiqiu asked in surprise: "You...are you married?"
Ye Chen nodded: "I have been married for four years."
He Zhiqiu suddenly felt a little empty in her heart, but she quickly adjusted and said: "Okay, let's talk about the meal another day. Anyway, I will stay in Jinling to work for you from now on, and I can fulfill my bet at any time."
Ye Chen smiled slightly: "Okay, remember this meal first."
After that, he pointed to the door of He Yuanjiang's office and said with a smile: "Do you want to give your dad another chance?"
He Zhiqiu raised his hand angrily and knocked on the door again.
Tuk-tuk-tuk.
He Yuanjiang inside was obviously a little irritable. He opened the door with a bit of sullenness. Seeing that it was still the girl, he asked: "What's the matter with you?"
He Zhiqiu stomped his feet angrily, took off his mask, and blurted out: "He Yuanjiang! You can't even recognize your biological daughter?!"
