Zheng Shan explained in detail what happened that day, and also said that they had not stopped searching over the years.
Only then did Li Chu know that the Zheng family had been looking for him for twenty years.
In the living room, several people were chatting happily. Ding Qiunan, who had been sitting next to him silently, touched his husband.
"Li Chu, it's dinner time. Please invite the three comrades to the small cafeteria for a meal. Can you continue chatting?"
"No, no, no, brother Li, sister-in-law, we won't eat any more. We're here today, so we're going to ride on other people's cars, and we'll have to rush over to meet them later."
"This can't be done. You've come to my place, how can you leave without even eating?"
"Brother Li, I am really not being polite to you. We are looking for you, firstly, to thank you for your life-saving grace, and secondly, to fulfill my father's last wish."
At this point Zheng Jiang stopped and winked at the sister next to him.
When Zheng Hong saw her brother's eyes, she hurriedly took out something from her backpack.
The thing was wrapped in a towel. After Zheng Jiang took it, he carefully removed the towel.
If Li Chu saw it correctly, this should be a piece of mutton-fat white jade produced in Hetian, or a whole piece without carving.
"Brother Li, this is what my father told us three brothers and sisters before he left. We must hand it over to you personally. Seeing you today, my father's last wish has finally been fulfilled."
"I can't have this!" Li Chu shook his head, pointed at the jade in Zheng Jiang's hand and asked, "Xiao Jiang, do you know what this is?"
"Brother Li, of course I know, this is mutton-fat white jade."
"Now that you know it, you should also understand its value. Do you think I can accept it?
Come on, pretend. I accept your wishes, but I really can't accept the things. Your father's spirit in heaven will understand."
"This..." Zheng Jiang looked at his sister and then his brother at a loss.
"Really, Xiao Jiang, if you recognize me as your family's benefactor, just keep this piece of jade. If I really keep the thing, you will repay a favor with a grudge." Li Chu said jokingly.
Jade is indeed a good jade. Even though Li Chu didn't know much about jade, he still learned a little from his master.
It was just because it was so good that he couldn't accept it. What would it cost if he did accept it? This thing was hot to hold, and he didn't lack it. If he wanted it, he could buy it with his own money.
Zheng Shan, who was also a public official, could understand Li Chu's concerns. After thinking about it, he finally asked his brother to wrap it up again and put it away.
Because they never agreed to eat here, Li Chu had no choice but to send them away.
At the entrance of the hospital, after watching them walk away, Li Chucai and Ding Qiunan walked towards the canteen together.
As for the three Zheng brothers and sisters, Zheng Jiang looked at his younger brother beside him and said, "Shanzi, what should I do if I didn't send the things out?"
"If you didn't give it away, you didn't give it away. I didn't think they would accept it."
"Why?"
"Do you still need to ask? Brother Li is in a high position at a young age. How can he not have any brains? He can accept anything given by anyone? If this is the case, do you think Brother Li can still live safely?
Are you sitting there?"
"Shanzi, if our things are not sent out, will it have any impact on you in the future?"
"Don't worry, sister, it won't have any impact. I told Director Zhang before I came here that this thing might not be able to be given away. He said just try your best."
"Alas..." Zheng Hong sighed and said, "Actually, it's okay if we didn't give it away. Brother Li saved our whole family's lives back then. We even tricked him into giving him something. What if he really accepted it just now?
I don’t know how to face our dad in the future.”
After hearing what his sister said, Zheng Jiang also sighed: "Okay, don't think about it. Now that Brother Li has confiscated it, isn't this the best result? When he comes back next time, bring him some soil from our side."
Specialties, that’s what we want.”
"Let's go, brother, sister, don't think about it!"
…
In the small canteen, Ding Qiunan placed the prepared dishes in front of her husband.
"What's wrong? I saw that you seemed a little absent-minded when you were talking to the Zheng family just now."
After all, she was the person beside her. She was a little thoughtful, and she could tell immediately. Li Chu sighed secretly in his heart.
"It's not the one who made a fuss with the announcement in the morning..." Li Chu told his wife what happened in the morning.
After hearing this, Ding Qiunan asked in surprise: "Who came to this conclusion? Do they dare to cover up so blatantly?"
"Who says otherwise? I think these people are really crazy! Maybe they didn't expect that such a minor incident would alarm the leaders above."
"Should I be grateful? Uncle Wang took you to report to the leader that day."
Li Chu thought for a moment and nodded: "Indeed, but I feel that Uncle Wang may have noticed something. He was just not sure, so he took a step ahead and unexpectedly he made the right move."
"Then do you need to tell Uncle Wang?"
"Forget it, let's not talk about it for now. Let's wait until Jianjun and the others find out some clues. Uncle Wang has too many things going on during this time."
"You have to be careful yourself!"
"Don't worry, wife, I'm being careful."
…
He thought that after Sun Jianjun and the others intervened, this matter would be investigated very quickly, but Li Chu still didn't expect that they would be able to investigate it so quickly.
In just three days, they checked everything and found no one. All the people involved in the case in the country were picked up.
Yes, this is another espionage case involving overseas, but it is different from the previous ones. This time it is commercial espionage.
A foreign pharmaceutical company has set its sights on China's traditional Chinese medicine.
They bribed the staff of pharmaceutical clinics to obtain drug formulas that were useful to them.
This is also why he stole the pills and prescriptions prepared by Li Chu.
When Sun Jianjun told him how much money those people had been bribed, Li Chu felt that his outlook on life was shattered.
Can you imagine that for just a thousand dollars, those people can sell the prescriptions that we have passed down for thousands of years and have been verified by countless people?
He really didn't know what to scold those people.
Sun Jianjun sat on the chair opposite Li Chu, with his legs directly on the desk.
"Okay, don't be sad. The price those people offered you for this prescription is not low, it's a full five thousand dollars."
Sun Jianjun stretched out his hand and made an exaggerated five.
Li Chu couldn't wait to walk over and give him a slap in the face.
Am I on horseback because of the five thousand swords? I feel sorry for the few prescriptions that have been sold.
Seeing Sun Jianjun's scoundrel look, Li Chu pointed to the door of the office with a headache: "The door is over there, please leave without seeing him."
