Chapter 1175
Progress I
glanced at the time, it was already around five o’clock in the afternoon when I came out of the forest, Sheldon stepped on the gas pedal and rushed back to Guo’s house at nine o’clock in the middle of the night.
After knowing that Sheldon was back, Guo Lintian immediately called Bren to the living room and asked the butler to wait outside. Sheldon had just entered the door and was led by the butler to meet.
“Uncle Guo, are my friends here?” Sheldon asked as he walked into the living room.
“What friend?” Guo Lintian was a little puzzled.
“It’s nothing, maybe they haven’t arrived yet. Please clean up the three guest rooms. They may stay here for a while and wait until Miss Liang Lu is rescued before leaving.” After calculating the time, Sheldon knew Ghost Count, they will arrive in about an hour or so.
“This is no problem, but you came back in the rain, hurry up and change your clothes!” Seeing that there were still drops of water dripping on Sheldon’s soaked clothes, he said quickly.
“Well.” Sheldon nodded, and under the leadership of the housekeeper, he went out again.
Ten minutes later, Sheldon changed into clean clothes and took a cold shower by the way. He looked very refreshed.
“Is it still going well?” Guo Lintian asked when Sheldon came in again.
“Smooth, very smooth.” Sheldon nodded and replied.
“We have also made the latest breakthrough here. We may have found out who was the one who kidnapped Liang Lu halfway.” A smile appeared on Guo Lintian’s face.
“Who?” Sheldon asked immediately.
“Chen Mingyong.” Guo Lintian glanced at the housekeeper and said without hesitation.
“I don’t know this person.” Sheldon thought for a while.
“Just by name, you probably don’t know him, but he has known you for a long time.” Guo Lintian said with a smile.
“Oh? Is it someone I offended?” Hearing Guo Lintian say this, Sheldon understood a little. After all, he has offended a lot of people over the years, and he must have offended a lot of them he didn’t know about and inadvertently offended him. .
“That’s right.”
“This Chen Mingyong is the head of the sea area of the South Vietnam War Department. When you arrived in South Vietnam this time, he once applied to Lu Chengkun to directly dispatch a warship to destroy you at sea, but Lu Chengkun firmly refused. .” The housekeeper said, speaking for Guo Lintian.
“You mean, he wants to catch Liang Lu and threaten me?” Sheldon pondered and asked.
“It seems like this now, and according to people I know in the War Department, Chen Mingyong is rarely in the War Department these days, and he is very cautious when he leaves, and even brings a dozen or so substitute soldiers. I also received a batch of equipment from the Equipment Department of the War Department.”
Guo Lintian continued to tell Sheldon everything he knew.
“That’s not right.” Sheldon analyzed, frowning slightly.
“What’s wrong?” Bren, who had not spoken for a while, hurriedly asked.
“If this Chen Mingyong kidnapped Liang Lu and tried to threaten me after Lu Chengkun didn’t accept his proposal and didn’t attack me in the sea, then the time would not be right.”
“Xiao Fei, how long has Liang Lu been missing? Already ?”
Sheldon rubbed his chin and asked.
“It will take a week. The upper management received news from the Liang family five days ago, and it took another two or three days to tell me.” Bren did not hesitate.
“But we only have three days to go to South Vietnam,” Sheldon said.
“Could it be, it was originally two things, and they just happened to bump into each other.”
“Before you returned to South Vietnam, Chen Mingyong didn’t know where he got the news, so he kidnapped Liang Lu and wanted to lead you back. Here, I will do something to you, and at this time you just came back.”
Guo Lintian tapped his fingers on the table and analyzed.
“It’s not impossible.” Sheldon felt that what Guo Lintian said made sense.
“I have asked my friend to keep staring at Chen Mingyong. If he has other unusual behaviors, he will definitely tell me in time. We can follow him directly and see where he goes to rescue Liang Lu. Sheldon, you Speaking of which, is there a better way?” Guo Lintian continued.
“This method is not bad.” Sheldon nodded. Judging from the current situation, the method Guo Lintian said was the only method, and there was no other chance to find Liang Lu.
“Master, a few people came outside, saying they were friends of Mr. Sheldon.” After speaking, someone came in with an umbrella.
“How many people?” Sheldon asked.
“It should be three, the sky is too dark and I can’t see too clearly.” The servant hesitated for a while.
“Please come in.” Sheldon nodded.
“What are the identities of these three?” Guo Lintian asked. Although he knew that Sheldon would not bring people in casually, as the owner of the house, he naturally wanted to get to know the guests who came to the house.
“One is my friend, the other is the lady of the Erye family in the Japanese country, and the other is the elder of a family in the Japanese country. They are all people who know the bottom line. Don’t worry, Uncle Guo.” Sheldon said.
“Well, then I can rest assured.” Guo Lintian wrote down.
While speaking, the three of them went to the parlour under the leadership of their servants.
The butler also immediately took out three new cups and brewed hot tea.
“I didn’t expect your kid to know such a big family in Nanyue, but I heard that the Guo family’s status in Nanyue is not low.” Before he walked in, he heard the vicissitudes of the old man Zhou’s voice full of anger. .
“Senior Zhou.” Sheldon got up immediately and stepped forward to bow to him.
Seeing that such an old man came in, Guo Lintian also got up. He knew that even Sheldon respected him so much, and he was definitely not an ordinary person.
“Patriarch Guo, I have long admired the name.” After entering the door, Mr. Zhou handed over to Guo Lintian and met him.
“The old gentleman came from afar, sit down and rest.” Guo Lintian nodded with a smile, and then pointed to the position beside Sheldon.
“Call us here, did you solve the problem?” The three of them sat down, and Mr. Zhou continued to ask.
“There has been progress, but if you want to solve it, it will take a short time.” Sheldon brought the tea in front of Mr. Zhou and said.
“Sheldon, let’s chat here, it’s getting late, I should go back to rest, the guest room is ready, when you rest at night, just let the next person take it with you.”
Thinking of the next Sheldon And they were going to talk about some other things, Guo Lintian gave the housekeeper a look, and after speaking, the two walked outside one after the other.
“Many thanks to the family head Guo for the hospitality!” Mr. Zhou waved his hand at Guo Lintian’s back.
When the two left with umbrellas, Sheldon got up and closed the living room door.
“Call us here, is there any progress?” The smile on Old Zhou’s face disappeared, and he asked in a low voice.
