"There is time now, but are you sure we want to talk here?" Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows and glanced at the current environment.

Although this restaurant seems to be quite private, it is not his territory after all, and this matter is also related to Gu Nanli's family and life.

The question Li Xingchen raised was naturally what Gu Nanli was worried about, and in the end he brought Li Xingchen back to Gu's house.

It was also the place where Li Xingchen met Gu Nanli for the first time.

After walking into the study, Gu Nanli didn't go around too much, and directly put a folder in front of Li Xingchen:

"It took a little longer to investigate, but I'm still a little uncertain about the candidates. Now I may need to ask Master Li to take a look."

"It's easy to say." Li Xingchen reached out to open the folder, without any displeasure on his face.

The last time I had a discussion with Gu Nanli's grandfather and grandson, I had already made a promise on this aspect.

From the detailed information, it can be seen that the Gu family has put a lot of effort into the investigation.

Li Xingchen's reading speed is not fast. While flipping through the pages, he is still counting in his hands.

Gu Nanli was not in a hurry, and waited patiently.

Finally, Li Xingchen closed the document in his hand, but he didn't speak for a while.

"Not inside?" Gu Nanli was a little surprised by this, and after a moment of silence, he asked.

I was a little disappointed in my heart, but I didn't show it.

It has been two months since he returned to China, and within two months, he and his grandfather only had time to investigate people related to the Gu family once.

If it weren't for them, the next scope might expand to the whole of China.

Conducting investigations among the large population of Huaxia is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

And he has less than a year left...

"That's not true," Li Xingchen rubbed his chin, then opened the folder in his hand again, and took out a file from it, "May I ask, what is the relationship between this person and you?"

"It's my uncle." The moment Gu Nanli's eyes fell on the information, his expression was lost for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and answered slowly.

"Your father is the only son in the family..." Li Xingchen raised his eyebrows. The biggest problem with the old man of the Gu family is that he has not had many heirs. He only had one son, and he died young.

Where is Gu Nanli's uncle from?

"Uncle is a child adopted by grandpa. In fact, it is not so much grandpa who adopted uncle as my father..." Regarding uncle Gu Jianbai's life experience, Gu Suian has never concealed it, so Gu Nanli also knows about it.

In the old days when there were many children and many blessings, even though Gu Suian had only one son, he never thought of adopting a child.

Coupled with the fact that Gu Nanli's father has always been proud of himself since he was a child, he has always been called "other people's child", which makes Gu Suian even more satisfied.

I often say that "children are expensive and not expensive", so naturally I don't want to adopt them.

But when Gu Nanli's father was 20 years old, he met Gu Jianbai who was only 16 years old by chance.

The young master who had served jade food since childhood was moved with compassion once in a while, and took Gu Jianbai home.

Gu Suian didn't quite agree with his son's move at first, but since ancient times, how could he ever win over his son?

In the end, Gu Jianbai entered the Gu family's house at the insistence of Gu Nanli's father.

But the difference between Gu Nanli's father and Gu Jianbai is only four years old, so it is obviously inappropriate for Gu Nanli's father to directly adopt Gu Jianbai.

In the end, he simply regarded Gu Jianbai as his brother.

"Uncle was already sixteen when he was adopted. People who are about to grow up may not be used to it in their hearts and have never changed their words. Therefore, the general grandfather rarely mentions the existence of uncle in front of outsiders."

Gu Nanli's voice was neither urgent nor slow, and there was a sense of eloquence.

"Since it is an adopted child, then the date of birth..." Li Xingchen clicked on the information in his hand, and the direction where his finger fell happened to be the place where Gu Jianbai was born.

"This?" Gu Nanli paused and thought for a while before he seemed to think of something.

"I vaguely remember that my grandfather mentioned once that my uncle's current birthday is the day when my father brought him back home for the first time."

"No wonder," Li Xingchen paused his fingers, a flash of understanding flashed across his face, "I want to meet your uncle in person, is it convenient?"

"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Gu Nanli felt an ominous premonition.

Li Xingchen would not ask him for information about an insignificant person for no reason. Among so many people, Gu Jianbai was the only one who asked him...

Thinking of this, Gu Nanli's heart sank.

Among so many people, the one he doubted the least was his uncle.

"According to the resourcefulness of taking care of the young master, I should have already guessed in my heart." Li Xingchen was also unambiguous, and directly affirmed Gu Nanli's thoughts, but he didn't say anything about death.

"Among these people, he is the most likely, but the date of birth is vague. I can only be sure after seeing a real person."

"Yes, I will arrange it as soon as possible." After receiving Li Xingchen's exact answer, although it was hard to accept it, Gu Nanli did not hesitate, and agreed to Li Xingchen's request immediately.

Gu Jianbai happened to be in City H right now, and the relationship between his uncle and nephew was usually considered close, so it took almost no effort, so Gu Nanli asked Gu Jianbai out on an appointment.

"Why do you want to invite me to dinner today?" Gu Jianbai's voice came first, with a hint of smile and intimacy in his tone.

It is not difficult to see that Gu Jianbai likes Gu Nanli, his nephew.

Following the prestige, one could see at a glance a middle-aged man who was well-maintained, although his appearance could only be regarded as upper-middle-aged, coming from the side.

Although he tried his best to hide it, it can also be seen that his legs and feet are not very convenient.

"Here, let's see if you like it?" Going straight to Gu Nanli and sitting down, Gu Jianbai directly took out a brocade box and placed it in front of him.

Gu Nanli stretched out his hand and opened the brocade box a little, and saw a clay pot inside. When the lid of the pot was removed, a faint fragrance came over his face.

Even if you haven't tasted the taste, just this smell, you can feel the value of this tea.

"I like it, I've made uncle bother." After closing the brocade box again, a faint smile appeared on Gu Nanli's face.

"It's good if you like it. Last time I went to M City for inspection, I happened to pass by a tea garden. The old man said that this is the tea from the mother tea tree. It is not precious, so I bought some back."

Hearing that Gu Nanli said he liked it, a smile appeared on Gu Jianbai's face.

"But you also know that I'm just a rough person, and I don't understand this stuff. Now it seems that the old man didn't lie to me. I'll get you some back when I have a chance next time."

"Since you said you like it, this thing is a birthday present for you. Don't say that uncle is stingy. Isn't it convenient for you in March?"

Gu Jianbai started, as if he couldn't stop talking, he talked non-stop, and then he talked about Gu Nanli's birthday this year.

In order not to make the people behind the scenes suspicious, Gu Nanli did not hold a big birthday party this year, and even joined forces with Mr. Gu to perform a play.

The whole birthday was spent in the ICU ward of the hospital.

Not to mention Gu Jianbai, in order to complete the play, even Fu Tingshen and Gu Nanli didn't see each other.

But now when Gu Jianbai talked about Fu Tingshen's birthday, not only was there no abnormal expression on his face, but there was also a feeling of rejoicing for the rest of his life.

The expression was sincere and did not seem to be fake, even Gu Nanli could not see the slightest flaw from Gu Jianbai's face.

"It was really inconvenient at that time, but fortunately, I didn't make my uncle busy." After thinking about it, Gu Nanli decided to try again.

Who knew that as soon as he said this, Gu Jianbai's face straightened, and he looked at Gu Nanli very seriously:

"What nonsense are you talking about? You know how to think nonsense every day."

"My uncle should also be aware of my body, where is my random thinking?"

Gu Nanli's eyes drooped, and there was a bitter smile on the corner of his lips. Anyone who saw it would feel distressed.

"Isn't this coming through?" Gu Jianbai frowned, as if he was very displeased with Gu Nanli's words.

"Now that medical skills have developed a lot, I think your health is much better now than last year. Don't think about these messy things anymore. Don't doctors often say that mentality is also important?"

"Let's eat first." Gu Nanli didn't answer Gu Jianbai's words, he just waved his hand and picked up the chopsticks that were put aside.

Gu Jianbai can be regarded as someone who grew up watching Gu Nanli, and seeing Gu Nanli's actions, he knew that he was unwilling to talk about this topic.

Knowing Gu Nanli's character well, he had no choice but to pick up the chopsticks in the end, but the expression on his face was no longer as joyful as when he just entered the door.

For a meal, except for the heavy topic at the beginning, the uncle and nephew could be regarded as a good time for the host and guest.

But after the meal, Gu Jianbai still couldn't hold back to persuade Gu Nanli a few words.

Maybe it's because of my personality, my mind is not so delicate, and I can only say a few words such as "don't worry" and "there will be a way" over and over again, which are very weak.

"Jingle Bell--"

Before Gu Jian finished his vernacular, the mobile phone that was placed aside rang.

After picking it up, Gu Nanli could vaguely hear words like "I'm ready" and "I'm just waiting for you alone".

It's not difficult to understand that the person with the most say in the Gu family now, besides Mr. Gu, is Gu Jianbai.

Mr. Gu is old, if there is no major event, the people below will not disturb Mr. Gu easily.

"I won't waste my uncle's time today. Next time I have time, I'll treat you to dinner again." When Gu Jianbai put down his phone, Gu Nanli directly bid farewell to Gu Jianbai.

"Okay," Gu Jianbai didn't say any polite words when thinking about the assistant's call just now, "Next time I have a chance to come to my uncle's house, I will ask your aunt to cook for you."

After finishing speaking, he left in a hurry.

After Gu Jianbai left, Li Xingchen walked out from the dark layer in the room after a long while.

"Is it him?" Hearing the movement, Gu Nanli paused, and waited for Li Xingchen to sit down where Gu Jianbai had just been before asking slowly.
