Chapter 31 The Past

If you have nothing to do, you will either be traitor or steal.

Liu Yuntao did not have a good impression of Li Ergou. As a big boss who went out of Wolong Village, he never made any contribution to his hometown.

Another point is that when he asked his third uncle to help his son find the body, Li Ergou always felt that he seemed to have done it on purpose and his motive was not pure at all.

The deep scheming makes people have to be careful.

"Brother Ergou, Boss Liu invited us to dinner and said that the person who sent us to pick us up had already arrived at the entrance of the village. Should we go there?"

At this time, the fat man also came to the yard and said to Li Ergou.

"Then let's go! The boss invites you to dinner, why don't you go?" Li Ergou glanced at the fat man and asked back.

Although he didn't like Liu Yuntao very much, he was always not willing to go there when he invited him to dinner. At least he had to understand Liu Yuntao's purpose before talking about it.

After Li Ergou and Fatty were washed up, the people sent by Liu Yuntao also arrived at their doorstep.

After Li Ergou greeted his mother Zhou Yun, he got on Liu Yuntao's BMW x5 off-road vehicle with the fat man.

Zhou Yun couldn't help but remind Li Ergou that after returning to the company, she should pay more attention to a girl named Lin Baoer.

That's because he had a baby marriage and had not yet passed the door. It would be no harm to him if he got to know his wife in advance.

Of course, Li Ergou would not tell his mother that he also liked Lin Baoer, and the two had known each other for a long time, otherwise Zhou Yun would have to let him take Sister Baoer home.

The place for the meal was booked by Liu Yuntao in a hotel in Yangcheng. It was already noon when Li Ergou and the others arrived.

After entering the private room, Li Ergou discovered that Liu Yuntao had been waiting there for a long time. In addition to him, there was an old man in Tang suit sitting in the innermost position.

"Big nephew, I've been waiting for you. Sit down and let's have a chat." As soon as I entered the door, Liu Yuntao immediately said enthusiastically.

After Li Ergou and the fat man sat down, Liu Yuntao began to introduce the old man in Tang suit next to him: "Big nephew, this is Mr. Zhong. Uncle can do what he is today, but it is all thanks to his support."

Li Ergou glanced at the old man in Tang costume curiously, and the doubts in his heart were relieved a lot.

Li Ergou felt strange before, why did Liu Yuntao transform from a rural child into a business tycoon in Yangcheng in just twenty years?

Now it seems that this guy has met a noble person to become successful so quickly.

"Boss Liu, just say anything if you have anything to say!" Li Ergou said straight to the point.

Businessmen are always willing to get up early without profit. He doesn't want to have too much interaction with Liu Yuntao, let alone Liu Yuntao's big nephew always gives Li Ergou the feeling of a weasel giving a chicken a New Year.

"Big nephew, I'm a little bit awkward when I call Boss Liu! I'm calling you here today, mainly to tell you about your father Li Chengde." Liu Yuntao poured Li Ergou a cup of tea and said with a smile.

"What did you say?"

When Li Ergou heard what he said, he became excited. Even the fat man next to him was not calm, and he looked at Liu Yuntao with both eyes.

Obviously, Liu Yuntao's words also aroused his interest.

"Big nephew, I believe you are very curious about what happened on the construction site twenty years ago? And how did your father disappear?"

Liu Yuntao said as he took out an old photo and placed it on the table.

Li Ergou only took a look and his heart began to feel uneasy.

The photo shows two young men, one of whom is Liu Yuntao in front of him, and the other is Li Ergou's father Li Chengde.

Although Li Chengde mysteriously disappeared twenty years ago, many photos of him remained at home. Li Ergou is not unfamiliar with his father's appearance.

"Yes, what do you want to express?" Li Ergou nodded and asked.

Although Liu Yuntao had already hidden well enough, Li Ergou still saw a hint of pride from the depths of his eyes.

Besides, after experiencing these few days, Li Ergou is no longer the simple child he used to be, so how could he easily believe Liu Yuntao's words?

Seeing Li Ergou's reaction, Liu Yuntao picked it without a trace.

"Big nephew, your father and I are not only colleagues, but also brothers, and we have a life-long friendship."

Liu Yuntao stood up, walked to Li Ergou, pulled a chair and sat down, and said, "You only know that your father disappeared on the construction site of Fengyuan Building, but no one told you that your father had been to another place before he disappeared."

“Where?”

Li Ergou asked almost conditioned reflexively.

"Kunlun Mountain, and your father, and a few others went together." Liu Yuntao sighed and said.

"Then what?"

Li Ergou's face darkened and he asked anxiously.

He had never heard of such a thing before. Twenty years ago, his father was just a real farmer. Why did he go to Kunlun Mountain?

"I don't know much about it. After your father arrived in Kunlun Mountain, he entered a mysterious cave. Shortly after he came back, a problem broke out in the construction site of Fengyuan Building, and then your father disappeared." Liu Yuntao said.

After saying that, he leaned on the chair, feeling depressed and looked sad.

Li Ergou and the fat man looked at each other, both of whom saw a hint of doubt in each other's eyes.

The fat man probably saw that Li Ergou was very fluctuating in his heart at this time and it was difficult for him to think about the problem rationally, so he continued to ask: "So what do you mean?"

"I think Brother Chengde should have known that something might happen to him before he disappeared, otherwise he would not have done that abnormal behavior." Liu Yuntao said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ergou's face changed.

Not to mention that Liu Yuntao found it strange, even he himself couldn't understand it.

If it was really like Liu Yuntao said, Li Ergou's father had known that something would happen to him long ago, why didn't he escape?

Also, if Liu Yuntao is really brothers and has a life-long friendship, then with Liu Yuntao's financial resources and social status, why haven't he been to Li Ergou's house for so many years?

There are many suspicious points in Liu Yuntao's words, which are really hard to convince people.

"Boss Liu, in your opinion, why didn't my father run away at that time?" Li Ergou asked.

Even though Liu Yuntao said that he was brother to his father, he still couldn't call him "Uncle".

"I don't know either. If I had known it, I would have advised him long ago." Liu Yuntao said with a regretful look on his face.

After thinking about it, he continued to add: "Maybe, your grandfather and your third uncle know some inside information. This is also the reason why I deliberately went to find your third uncle to help find the body."

After hearing this, Li Ergou became restless in an instant, and even the fat man widened his eyes.
