Mu Feng waved his hand quickly, "I dare not, we are already very honored to be invited by Uncle Qi! The matters of the Qi family are ours. Uncle Qi is uneasy, we should do our best." Chu Tianyi's polite words are not like Mu Feng, and he can only nod and say yes.

Qi Guangyu seemed to be still ignorant about what happened just now, so he was cold and did not say anything. Chu Tianyi didn't care about this either. He didn't suffer any loss anyway, and the two of them just met by chance, and I'm afraid they would never meet again in their lives.

All the guests who were invited left one after another. The Qi family and his son stood on the steps and watched the people leaving behind, gradually put away the smiles on their faces.

Qi Tai said to Qi Guangyu in a deep voice: "Although my Qi family is powerful, it is impossible to check the entire antique circle. Today, these people on the table are all well-known figures in this industry. Now that the news has been released, these people may take action. Send someone to keep an eye on them. Tell me if you have any movement!"

Qi Guangyu nodded, "I understand!" After saying that, he pondered for a moment, "Where is the Chu person on the table today? His grandfather is no longer here, and I think this kid is just an amateur and doesn't know anything!"

Qi Tai smiled slightly, "Don't underestimate him. Sometimes the more amateur he is, the less he plays according to the rules."

"So do we want it?" Qi Guangyu asked tentatively.

Qi Tai waved his hand gently, "No, I have my own arrangements on his side."

Chu Tianyi and Mu Feng stood by the roadside outside the gate, watching luxury cars drive by. After the banquet, Chu Tianyi never saw Gu Xiaoqian again. He must have left first, but he always felt that they would meet again with the secret box.

Mu Feng stretched, "Tianyi, where are you going in a while?"

Chu Tianyi blurted out without thinking: "Go home." Seeing Mu Feng nodding, he asked again: "Brother Feng, where are you?"

Mu Feng covered his mouth and coughed a few times, raised his hand, "I'll go to see a few friends later."

"Okay," Chu Tianyi made a phone call gesture, "I'll leave first, contact me often, see Brother Feng again."

Chu Tianyi, who rushed away from Mu Feng, waved his hand, "I will definitely see you again."

Chu Tianyi went to a shopping mall next to the railway station and bought some gifts for Mr. Tao. After all, thanks to Mr. Tao's care during this period, he has troubled the old man a lot.

Just as he was waiting to pay, Chu Tianyi's after-lightness suddenly swept a familiar figure outside the mall door. Although he couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, he intuitively felt that it seemed to be Gu Xiaoqian.

"Gu Xiaoqian?" Chu Tianyi muttered, hurried to the door, looking around, but did not see Gu Xiaoqian's figure, only saw a few strange men running by hurriedly.

Chu Tianyi was wondering, and the salesperson in the mall shouted at him: "Sir, do you still want these things?"

"Yes! Yes!" Chu Tianyi agreed, looked left and right again, then turned around and walked in.

Sitting on the return train, Chu Tianyi kept staring out the window in a daze. There were too many things that happened in recent times and it was too sudden. This made him completely unprepared. A lot of doubts and questions piled up in his mind and he had no time to sort them out.

Chu Tianyi sorted out these things in his mind and rethinked them. However, after thinking about them, there were two doubts that Chu Tianyi valued the most. One was the death of his grandfather. Is there any hidden truth? As for this question, Chu Tianyi always felt that it had something to do with the so-called secret box. When it comes to secret box, it had to involve the Gu family and Qi family. Thinking of this, things seemed to start to become messy again.

As for the other doubt that was pressing down on Chu Tianyi's heart, what was going on with his father back then? What did the letter and those magazines hidden by his grandfather mean? It was impossible for his father to defect, so where did he go? Now he is dead or alive?

Chu Tianyi sat in the car and thought for a long time, but there was no result, so he had to give up.

After getting off the car and returning to the door, Chu Tianyi did not rush back to Xuyuzhai, but went to Mr. Tao's bun shop first.

As soon as I entered the door, I didn’t see Mr. Tao, but saw Mr. Tao’s son, Tao Wei, bent down and lying on the door lock of the inner room, not knowing what he was doing.

"Brother Tao!" Chu Tianyi greeted him.

Tao Wei immediately stood up and said, "Oh, it's Tianyi, come quickly! I heard from my dad that you are here to get the keys, right? You should be in the drawer at the counter."

"No hurry," Chu Tianyi pointed to the door next to Tao Wei, "Brother Tao, what are you doing?"

"Hi! Don't mention it," Tao Wei shook his head helplessly, "My son, your nephew, just pulled out the key on the door lock and went into the house to play, but he ended up locking the key inside. I'm picking the lock."

Chu Tianyi looked at Tao Wei holding a plastic card in his hand and asked curiously: "Can you open the lock with this?"

"Yes," Tao Wei nodded, "Fortunately, this is the kind of old-fashioned bump lock that is not prying. You just need to stuff the plastic card into the gap in the door lock position and find the right position. That's it." As he said that, he pulled the door violently, and pushed the plastic card in his hand hard. With a "click", the door lock really opened.

"Look." Tao Wei smiled, then went into the room and took out the key.

"Awesome!" Chu Tianyi smiled and stretched out his thumb. "Hey, where is Mr. Tao? Go out?"

Tao Wei went into the house and took out the key and inserted it back into the door lock. "My father went to the vegetable market, and he always said that the vegetables I bought were not good."

Chu Tianyi put the things in his hand on the table, "This time I went out, I brought some food to Mr. Tao. Mr. Tao has always taken care of me during this period, and I don't know how to thank you."

"Oh," Tao Wei quickly refused, "Brother, you are too polite. As the saying goes, distant relatives are worse than close neighbors, and this is all right. Take them back quickly, don't do this!"

But Chu Tianyi was very determined and pushed him out, so Tao Wei had to nod, "Thank you, I'll accept it for my dad first."

The two were talking, and a tender voice came from the backyard, "Dad, are you playing games with me?" As they spoke, a chubby little boy ran to Tao Wei.

"Your son?" Chu Tianyi looked at the little boy and asked with a smile, "How old are you?"

"Yes, I'm eight years old." Tao Wei pampered his son in his arms, pointed at Chu Tianyi and said, "Hurry, call him uncle!"

"Hello uncle!" The little boy was very cute. Chu Tianyi couldn't help but pinch his little face, "So good!"

"Dad, play games with me!" The little boy was still obsessed with the game.

"Okay! OK!" Tao Wei smiled bitterly at Chu Tianyi, shook his head, "Tianyi, please sit first."

Chu Tianyi smiled beside him and looked at their father-son deep affection, and was very envious.

The little boy took out two pieces of paper, "This is a game taught to us by the school teacher. Each of us has a piece of paper. The grid has been drawn on it. You draw the plane in a continuous grid. After a while, no one of us will look at each other's paper. You just need to say how many horizontally or vertically attacks. I will tell you if I have drawn planes in this position. Dad, do you understand?"

Tao Wei was drawing on the paper and said, "Okay, I understand."

The little boy also reminded him a little worriedly, "No one is allowed to lie, lying is a puppy!"

Chu Tianyi looked around with interest, but suddenly a thought flashed through his mind, numbers! How many horizontally and vertically! He suddenly thought of something and stood up.

Chu Tianyi's sudden action scared Tao Wei and his son. Chu Tianyi quickly walked to the little boy, "Baby, can you tell uncle how to play this game again?"

The little boy smiled, "Uncle is so stupid, so I'll tell you again. For example, Dad wants to attack my horizontal 3 vertical 5 position. Look, my place is empty, he guessed it wrong!"

"Uncle understands it! Thank you!" Chu Tianyi stood up, greeted Tao Wei, and quickly returned to Xuyuzhai with the key.

Chu Tianyi found the wooden box that grandfather had put away again. Regarding the numbers in the magazines, what happened just now made him suddenly have an idea.

The numbers in each magazine are grouped. If the previous or two numbers represent the number of pages and the remaining numbers represent rows and columns, can we find the meaning of these numbers?

He found the earliest book of the year, and according to this idea, he found the word "I" based on the first set of numbers. Chu Tianyi suddenly felt a surprise, and he felt that his thoughts should be right.

After the first set of numbers was translated, he immediately continued. After finding out the Chinese characters corresponding to each set of numbers on the title page of the first magazine, he was stunned.

These words are connected, "I am safe, the situation has changed, and I am waiting to be investigated." The numbers on the title pages of these magazines are indeed conveying a kind of information.

Chu Tianyi stared at the words on the paper with his eyes fixed on it, and his heart started to jump wildly. Who is the safe thing that "I am safe" means? The one who reported his safety to his grandfather must be his father! And finally, his father's signature - Chu Chuan's Chuan. His father was indeed not dead in that accident!

Chu Tianyi speculated that his father was being suspected at that time, so he did not dare to contact his grandfather openly, so he could only use this method. But why didn’t he come to explain the matter clearly?

However, Chu Tianyi didn't care about these questions at this time. The three words "I am safe" were a great good news for Chu Tianyi!

Chu Tianyi's eyes suddenly blurred. It is very likely that his father is still alive! Chu Tianyi smiled, but tears couldn't help but flow down.

He took the paper in his hand and looked at it for a while. Then he wiped his tears and couldn't wait to read the remaining magazines.
Chapter completed!
