Xu Guofeng looked at Xu Mengyao in the video.
He said quietly: "Mengyao, you have changed. You are no longer your parents' little cotton-padded jacket, Xixi is still well-behaved."
Xu Mengyao: "..."
Yang Qingyue said angrily from the side: "Okay, stop pretending, isn't it just twenty or thirty bottles of wine? Lin Chen, don't get me wrong, Lao Xu(老许: Old Xu, referring to Xu Guofeng) is not reluctant to part with those wines."
"Aunt Yang, I know."
Lin Chen said.
Twenty or thirty bottles of wine, even if they are worth 100,000 yuan per bottle, it's almost two or three million in total. What is this amount of money to Xu Guofeng, who has tens of billions of assets?
"Uncle Xu, Mengyao brought them here not just for me to drink alone. When you come over, I will prepare more appetizers, and we can drink together."
Lin Chen explained.
Lin Xiaoqian's concerned voice sounded: "Grandpa, are you going to cry?"
Xu Guofeng coughed lightly.
"No, how could Grandpa cry?"
"Grandpa is just sighing casually."
Xu Mengyao said angrily: "Dad, stop sighing, I haven't seen you drink a bottle of those wines all year round."
"Lin Chen will take a plane over tomorrow."
"He will pick you up and come back."
Xu Guofeng said in surprise: "Lin Chen is coming over? Didn't we say that we would take a plane back ourselves?"
"No need for you to pick us up."
Xu Mengyao: "Lin Chen's medical skills have improved a bit. He might be able to handle any situation along the way. He also knows our plane very well now."
"'Very well' means—"
Lin Chen smiled and said: "Mengyao copied the aircraft maintenance manual for me, and I have finished reading it."
"I might be able to handle some minor faults."
Xu Guofeng looked at Lin Chen in disbelief.
Aircraft maintenance manual, that is not an ordinary appliance maintenance manual, it is a thick book!
Xu Guofeng opened it and looked at it, it was full of dense words.
It is not easy to finish reading that maintenance manual, and it is even more difficult to understand them all.
"Daddy, are we going to take a plane?"
"I also want to take a plane to pick up grandpa and grandma."
Lin Xiaoqian said in a childish voice.
Lin Chen: "Qianqian, only daddy is going this time. Daddy will be back soon after arriving there. You will be very tired because you will spend a lot of time on the plane."
"Daddy, I'm not afraid."
"I have a lot of strength."
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao.
Xu Mengyao said: "Qianqian, if daddy leaves and you leave too, then mommy should move back home. Mommy will be very scared living here alone."
Lin Xiaoqian was immediately conflicted.
She wanted to go with Lin Chen to pick up grandpa and grandma.
She also wanted to stay with Xu Mengyao and not let her move back home.
"Qianqian, you stay and protect mommy. Daddy will go and protect grandpa and grandma. We will cooperate."
"Okay?"
Lin Chen touched Lin Xiaoqian's head and said.
"Yes, yes."
Lin Xiaoqian nodded.
After chatting for a while, Yang Qingyue hung up the video call.
In the blink of an eye, it was the next day.
Lin Chen is going over today, will rest in the US tomorrow, and will return with Xu Guofeng and Yang Qingyue the day after tomorrow.
"Husband, be careful."
Xu Mengyao said.
Liang Ye drove, and she and Lin Xiaoqian sent Lin Chen to the airport.
"Daddy, I love you."
"You have to come back soon."
Lin Xiaoqian hugged Lin Chen's neck reluctantly.
Lin Chen kissed Lin Xiaoqian: "Daddy will be back soon,Qianqian you have to listen to mommy at home."
"Yes, yes."
Lin Xiaoqian nodded obediently.
"Daddy, you also kiss mommy, mommy also loves you."
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao.
Xu Mengyao said with a red face: "Adults can't kiss casually outside, daddy and mommy just hug."
After speaking, she took the initiative to hug Lin Chen.
Lin Chen looked at Xu Mengyao in front of him. He had an urge to kiss her, but he still had to endure it.
Being too hasty may have the opposite effect.
"Wife, I'll have to trouble you for these three days."
Xu Mengyao shook her head: "It's not hard at all. It's only three days. I'll be much more relaxed when mom and dad come back."
Besides the most important work, all other work, even if it is delayed for three days, can be handled after Xu Guofeng comes back.
"I'm leaving."
"Wait for me to come back."
After Lin Chen finished speaking, he gave the hugging Lin Xiaoqian to Xu Mengyao.
Soon Lin Chen boarded the plane.
The weather was hot and Xu Mengyao and the others left quickly.
More than ten hours passed.
The plane that Lin Chen was on arrived over the United States, but the plane has not landed yet, and it will take two or three hours.
"Beep beep!"
Lin Chen's phone rang.
This is a private plane, so you can make calls and access the Internet.
"Hmm?"
Lin Chen frowned slightly.
The call was from Xu Mengyao.
He left in the morning, and after more than ten hours, it is now two or three in the morning in China. Why isn't Xu Mengyao asleep?
"Mengyao, what's wrong?"
Lin Chen quickly answered the phone and asked.
On the other end of the phone, Xu Mengyao said urgently: "Husband, my dad is missing. Mom called me, she has not been able to contact my dad for several hours."
Lin Chen's face changed slightly.
He comforted: "Only a few hours, should be fine, right?"
Xu Mengyao: "My dad didn't go to the hospital today. Normally, he would go there by nine o'clock at the latest. Even if he didn't go, he would call my mom to tell her the situation."
"Today he hasn't gone and his phone is also turned off."
"The bodyguards have not found him either."
Lin Chen's expression was solemn.
In this situation, the father-in-law is probably in trouble.
"Mengyao, calm down first."
"Your dad is definitely alive and well now. Even if your dad is kidnapped, the kidnappers will not kill people casually. If they were to kill people, they wouldn't need to be so troublesome."
Lin Chen analyzed.
Xu Mengyao took a deep breath: "That's right."
Lin Chen: "I remember your parents have a professional security team protecting them, didn't the bodyguards find anything unusual?"
Xu Mengyao smiled bitterly on the other end of the phone.
"My mom said the contract expired the day before yesterday."
"There was originally a complete security team, but the renewal was for at least half a year, and they didn't sign because there were only a few days left."
"There are only two bodyguards that my parents brought with them."
Lin Chen: "..."
"Why save this little money?"
Xu Mengyao: "It's not a small amount of money, a complete security team costs three million US dollars for half a year."
"My dad negotiated with them to sign for a month, but they didn't agree. My dad wasn't happy about being ripped off by signing for half a year."
Lin Chen was thoughtful.
Could it be related to this security company?
"Mengyao, there shouldn't be any problems with your mom, right?"
Xu Mengyao said: "My mom should be fine. She is in the hospital, and the forces behind that hospital are very powerful."
"It is a big taboo to target their patients in the hospital."
Lin Chen: "Mengyao, don't worry, I will find your dad."
Xu Mengyao quickly said: "Husband, I'm calling you not to ask you to go find him, but to ask you not to go."
"If we still can't contact him after some time, my mom will re-sign a contract with Black Shield Company, and they will find him."
"You can't have anything happen when dad is missing."
Lin Chen comforted: "Don't worry, I'll be fine. Be careful yourself, don't let anything happen to you andQianqian."
