In Su Rui's view, there are too many tricks in Xu Xingmin's disappearance.

The possibility of his voluntary disappearance is not high. After all, at this critical moment, hiding means a complete concession to his second brother Xu Xinglong. You must know that although he is a banner figure, this banner is not indispensable. Without him, Xu Xinglong can still complete the financing, but the effect will be discounted.

Looking back on the past, Xu Xingmin was a very bottom line and principled person. Although he stayed in the kitchen on weekdays and seemed to be studying cooking skills, he was also preaching and answering questions to his disciples.

The profession is diligent and wasteful, and the success of actions is caused by thoughts and destruction.

He is a smart person, otherwise if he lacks IQ, he will not be able to inherit the cooking skills of his ancestors and carry forward innovation.

Xu Xingmin knew what could be done and what could not be done. In his opinion, there was no need for the Xu family to become a multinational group. All he wanted was to keep the golden plaque of the Xu family and let the plaque shine forever.

In fact, this is not because it cannot keep up with the times, but because of the craftsman spirit that is urgently needed by this impetuous society.

Although I have never seen Xu Xingmin, after knowing all his deeds, Su Rui was still a little impressed.

Therefore, in Su Rui's view, there is only one possibility of Xu Xingmin's disappearance, that is, he was hidden by Xu Xinglong.

Of course, it cannot be said that this matter must have been done by Xu Xinglong, but after Su Rui analyzed it, he really couldn't find any other point of view.

Xu Xingmin is missing, and Xu Xinglong is the biggest vested stakeholder. No one can stop him from his idea of ​​promoting the listing of the Xu family and even becoming a multinational group.

Su Rui believes that if such an influential person as Xu Xingmin suddenly disappeared, the police must have eliminated all the evidence that can be eliminated. Xu Xinglong, the most suspected, is still safe and sound. Either he did it so much, or he is really innocent.

As for the second inference, Su Rui believes that the possibility is extremely small.

"It would be great if I had the chance to meet this second uncle." Su Rui said.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Xu Xinlan's smile was filled with a sarcastic scent. "After all, Jingxi is back, and the work he should do on the surface should still be done well."

Xu Jingxi sighed softly.

In fact, she was unwilling to doubt her second uncle.

After all, in Xu Jingxi's opinion, although the second uncle is a little shrewd and has a lot of ambitions, he did not seem to have any bad intentions in the past, and the relationship between him and his father would never be incompatible. Xu Jingxi was unwilling to believe that the second uncle took the initiative to start killing each other.

However, my father has been missing for so long, and even his life and death are unknown, all doubts point to Xu Xinglong.

It is precisely because of this incident that Xu Jingxi has not contacted her second uncle Xu Xinglong for more than two years.

Xu Xinlan said again: "However, Xu Xinglong may also welcome Jingxi on the surface. As for others, I guess they won't give Jingxi any good face, alas."

Speaking of this, she also sighed, with a deep melancholy in her tone.

Xu Xinlan is just the adopted daughter of Mr. Xu Yuanhua in name, and she has not even completed the adoption procedures. In this case, although her seniority is not low, her voice in the family is not very strong.

Mr. Xu Yuanhua has several children. They have been practicing cooking skills since childhood. Now, these children have basically left the kitchen stove, either entered the management level, or become so-called masters.

In other words, the only one who has been sticking to the entire Xu family has been holding on to.

Forgetting one's origin, these two words are the fatal point of a century-old family.

Only by not forgetting the original intention can we last longer.

Most of the people in the Xu family are too eager for quick success and instant benefits. With this approach, even if the Xu family's industry is put on the market, how long can it last?

Su Rui seemed to have seen the gradual decline of the inheritance of the origin.

I hope that at that time, the Xu family will not regret it. Su Rui said in his heart.

…………

An hour later, the car stopped.

"Old Xu's family." Su Rui looked at the sign of the hotel in front of him and said.

"In the past thirty years, this has been the best-business hotel in the entire Sichuan City." Xu Xinlan said.

"The Xu family is very powerful." Looking at the flow of tourists coming and going, Su Rui sighed sincerely.

At least, there are still no signs of decline in this century-old family, and their eyes are full of prosperity.

It’s hard to say why, the simplest and simple words “Lao Xu’s Family” on the hotel’s signature have brought Su Rui an indescribable sense of intimacy.

This is a kind of intimacy from the heart. On the contrary, the names of all kinds of trendy restaurants cannot arouse Su Rui's feelings at all.

"Come in, I've booked the room." Xu Xinlan greeted.

"If you two show up, it will probably make the managers of this restaurant very nervous, right?" Su Rui smiled.

In fact, he has tried Xu Jingxi's craftsmanship twice. No matter how good the chef of the "Old Xu family" is, he can't be even more powerful than Xu Jingxi, right?

Xu Jingxi happened to say: "Actually, the chef of this head office is my father's eldest apprentice. He will stare in the kitchen every day, even personally take charge of the spoon. Unless he gets sick, he will not leave for the first day of the year."

After hearing this, Su Rui couldn't help but feel a little moved.

Although Xu Xingmin disappeared, his tenacious craftsmanship spirit was passed down from his apprentice.

"There should be many disciples like this, right?" Su Rui said.

"Well, there are all over the country." When Xu Jingxi said this, even though she was calm and calm, a hint of pride also surged in her eyes.

Her father is really amazing.

In fact, Lao Xu's main store still uses the simplest decoration, which has nothing to do with the magnificence. However, the popularity of the business makes it difficult for those restaurants that have spent a lot of effort to decorate.

This time, what Xu Xinlan wanted was a half-open private room, and you could see the scene on the first floor from the private room.

It is very lively, full of the kind of life that Su Rui yearns for the most.

After the three of them sat down, Xu Xinlan called and said, "Jiang Feng is here soon."

"Aunt Lan, I didn't even plan to alarm Uncle Feng when I came back this time." Xu Jingxi said with a wry smile.

And this Jiang Feng should be Xu Xingmin's eldest disciple.

"How can that work? He is the one who most hopes you can come back." Xu Xinlan said, "You know, Jiang Feng has always wanted to hand over the kitchen of the old Xu family to you. In his words, he is guarding you here."

"Should here for me..." As he whispered this sentence, a little dull look appeared in Xu Jingxi's eyes.

In fact, she is indeed the most qualified to take over the "Lao Xu family".

However, after her father disappeared, Xu Jingxi was disheartened and walked away from the capital and asked her to take over the old Xu family. She probably couldn't be more motivated.

It seems that only by immersing yourself in the kitchen with all your concentration can you forget the unhappiness that has happened in the past two years.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a chef's uniform came up.

He looks like he is in his forties, tall and thin, with big eyes and bright eyes. He is Xu Xingmin's eldest disciple, Jiang Feng.

After seeing Xu Jingxi, his eyes also turned red.

"Jingxi, you're finally back." Jiang Feng sat down, feeling a little moved, "How have you been outside in the past two years?"

"Uncle Feng, I've lived a good life outside, but thank you for your hard work." Xu Jingxi said.

Jiang Feng was already wiping his tears when he saw Xu Jingxi growing up.

"It's a pity that Master is now..." Jiang Feng sighed deeply and couldn't continue.

For nearly three years, it seems that the stones are sinking into the sea and there is no news. Now, most people think that Xu Xingmin has encountered an unexpected situation, and Jiang Feng thinks so too.

However, Xu Xinglong did not make things difficult for Jiang Feng and other disciples. After all, he also knew that these chefs were also the key to maintaining the golden sign of the Xu family. Xu Xingmin has disappeared and his disciples can no longer have anything to do.

However, all Xu Xingmin's apprentices believed that this matter was done by Xu Xinglong, and even if the latter denied it countless times, it was not convincing.

"Oh, Uncle Feng, I won't talk about this for now." Xu Jingxi's eyes also turned red.

However, she is still quite strong. Since getting off the plane, her eyes have reddened several times, but she has never shed tears. Perhaps, in the past two years, Xu Jingxi's tears may have almost dried up.

"Jingxi, if your second uncle wants to treat you to a meal, you must be more cautious and never be plotted against by him." Jiang Feng said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, Uncle Feng, I will take good care of myself." Xu Jingxi took a deep breath: "Since I'm back this time, I have to complete what my father has not completed."

Su Rui glanced at her, then smiled and nodded.

"But...ah..." Jiang Feng sighed deeply, with unconcealed worries in his eyes. It was obvious that he was afraid that Xu Jingxi would follow in his master's footsteps again

"You don't have to worry. This time, Jingxi came back with her boyfriend." Xu Xinlan said.

"Hello, Uncle Feng." Su Rui took the initiative to say.

"Okay, what a good young man." Jiang Feng looked at Su Rui's eyes and said, "I don't know why, as soon as I saw you, I felt that you could help Jingxi."

Su Rui nodded deeply: "Uncle Feng, don't worry, I will do my best."

Xu Jingxi glanced at Su Rui, then nodded.

In fact, like Jiang Feng's point of view, Xu Jingxi also believed in Su Rui, and Xu Jingxi could not explain clearly what the source of this trust was.

It seems that when Xu Jingxi learned that Su Rui had withstood the pressure and abolished the heirs of the five major families, Xu Jingxi had a different impression of this young man - there was respect and deep admiration.
