"Brother-in-law, why did you buy this thing?"

Nangongchen looked at the bag in Chen Dasheng's hand, full of doubts in his heart, at first he thought that Chen Dasheng was going to buy something extraordinary, but in the end, Chen Dasheng led him around the mall a few times, and only bought two bottles of wine, It's just the kind that costs a few hundred dollars a bottle.

Nangongchen was a little confused, why did Chen Dasheng buy this thing?Wouldn't it be a gift?If it was a gift, would Chen Dasheng be able to afford something worth a few hundred dollars?

"I can drink it myself, can't I?" Chen Dasheng concealed it casually. What he bought was not wine, but this packaging box. Although the two bottles of wine in his hand only cost more than 1000 yuan, the packaging is very beautiful, even though it is made in China. It's a miscellaneous brand, but they pay great attention to appearance, Chen Dasheng took a fancy to it at a glance.

Nangong Chen was not a fool either, so he naturally knew that Chen Dasheng was covering up, and his doubts did not fade away, and he wanted to ask further, but Chen Dasheng immediately changed the subject, and said, "By the way, Xiaochen, what gift did you prepare for your grandfather?"

"Me? I haven't prepared a gift yet!" Nangongchen's face suddenly turned bitter when this matter was mentioned, "I have to prepare a gift every year, and I don't bring heavy ones. As long as you are happy, you can still get red envelopes, but now, my family members celebrate their birthdays, and I feel a little embarrassed!"

It turned out that when this kid was also in trouble, Chen Dasheng couldn't help laughing, "Tomorrow is the birthday party, and you haven't prepared the gift yet, what will you do then?"

Nangongchen smiled wryly, turned to look at Chen Dasheng, his eyes lit up, "Brother-in-law, why don't you give me some advice?"

"May I give you advice?" Looking at Nangong Chen's eager eyes, Chen Dasheng was a little astonished, paused, and said, "Okay, I'll give you advice, then tell me, what does your grandfather like?"

The two walked towards the parking place. Nangongchen thought about it carefully, and said, "My grandfather is a martial arts idiot. Apart from practicing martial arts in this life, the only person he likes is my grandma. But after grandma passed away, the only The only thing that can make grandpa take care of is practicing kung fu, how can there be anything you like?"

"Think carefully!" Chen Dasheng said.

"Does playing chess count?" Nangong Chen thought for a while, "But grandpa is a stinky chess player. He always asks people to let him play chess, and he still refuses to accept the loss. I can't think of anything else!"

The corner of Chen Dasheng's mouth twitched, "In that case, let me give you an idea!"

"What idea?" Nangong Chen looked at Chen Dasheng expectantly.

Chen Dasheng said, "Just give him a set of chess!"

"Isn't it?" The greater the hope, the greater the disappointment. When Nangong Chen heard this, his face was full of disappointment. "How much is a game of chess worth? Will you not be laughed to death by then?"

Chen Dasheng said, "You are your grandfather's grandson, even if you just give your grandfather a glass of boiled water, your grandfather will not be unhappy, as long as you make your grandfather happy, who else would dare to laugh at you?"

"That's right!" Nangong Chen pinched his chin, and nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, let's buy it now. I want to buy a pair and give it to grandpa."

"Oh, don't!" Chen Dasheng pulled Nan Gongchen back, as if he had something to say.

"What's wrong?" Nangong Chen looked at Chen Dasheng suspiciously.

Chen Dasheng said with a smile, "It's better if you can make something yourself!"

"I do it myself?" Nangong Chen scratched his head.

Chen Dasheng smiled without saying a word, and hooked his fingers at Nangongchen. Nangongchen approached curiously. Chen Dasheng whispered something in Nangongchen's ear, but Nangongchen's eyes became brighter and brighter. .

"But brother-in-law, what if grandpa thinks this gift hurts his self-esteem and wants to beat me up?" Hearing Chen Dasheng's whisper, Nangongchen already had an idea in his mind, but he still had a little bit of concern.

Chen Dasheng patted Nangong Chen on the shoulder, and said, "Don't you know your grandpa? Don't worry about it, and make sure he likes it."

"Well, let's do it like this! If grandpa doesn't like it, I'll say that my brother-in-law taught me to do it, haha, I'm a genius!" Nangong Chen grinned.

When Chen Dasheng heard this, he couldn't help feeling embarrassed. He didn't know if it was a blessing or a curse to have such a brother-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, where are we going now?" Nangong Chen asked after getting into the car.

Chen Dasheng looked out the car window. It was still early in the sky. After thinking for a while, he said, "I heard that there is a Panjiayuan in the capital, why don't you take me around and see if I can pick up some treasures!"

"Don't be funny!" Nangong Chen curled his lips, and looked sideways at Chen Dasheng jokingly, "Brother-in-law, I think you read too many novels, you might be able to find some good ones somewhere earlier, but Now, they are all selling fake goods and fooling outsiders, if you still want to pick up treasures, you should save yourself and go home and sleep."

Chen Dasheng shrugged his shoulders, "Don't kill them all with one shot, anyway, it's still early, so it's okay for us to go for a walk, anyway, it's a major feature of the capital, isn't it?"

"Alright, anyway, I listened to you today, let's go around and see if we can find two chess books for grandpa!" Nangongchen had no objection, and said directly to the middle-aged uncle in the driver's seat, "Uncle De, go Panjiayuan!"

"Good master!" The uncle nodded, and the car merged into the vast traffic flow.

-

There are many people and vehicles in the capital city, which is much more prosperous than Rongcheng, but the road conditions today are not bad, and it is not the rush hour, the roads are very smooth.

"By the way, Xiaochen, I want to ask you something!" Chen Dasheng said to Nangongchen in the car.

Nangongchen looked at Chen Dasheng with some doubts, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter? Tell me!"

Chen Dasheng thought for a while and said, "That's it. I have a friend who was arrested by the Warrior Appraisal Bureau and the Academy of Sciences. I want to meet him. I don't know if there is a way."

"Uh..." Nangong Chen paused when he heard the words, and frowned, "Warrior Appraisal Bureau and Science Research Institute? Brother-in-law, your friend has committed some crimes, right?"

Although Nan Gongchen is not very old, he must know much more than Chen Dasheng. The Martial Artist Appraisal Bureau and the Science Research Institute, these two departments can be regarded as the right arm of the country. One has a group of powerful warriors, and the other is full of technology monsters. , The two seem to run counter to each other, but in fact they have always been interdependent. It is not known how big a crime it would be to make these two departments arrest people, and at the same time.

So after hearing that Chen Dasheng's friend was arrested by the two major departments, Nan Gongchen seemed particularly cautious.

From Nangongchen's expression, Chen Dasheng could see a bit of concern. After thinking for a while, he said, "It's not a friend, it's just an acquaintance. He's just an ordinary person. He may be carrying some secrets. I was arrested inexplicably in a few days. I only found out later that the person who arrested him was my sister. I promised a friend that I would find out some news from her. You can’t just keep your promises. At least, I have to know him. Is it still safe?"

"That's it!" Nangongchen thought for a while with concern, and said, "Brother-in-law, you don't know that the Warrior Appraisal Bureau and the Academy of Sciences, we call them the East Factory and the West Factory in private. What's inside is absolutely confidential, and it's hard for ordinary people to find out."

"Tch! You're the grandson of the Nangong family, isn't it okay with your status?" Chen Dasheng said.

Nangong Chen laughed dryly and said, "Yes, yes, but Grandpa has warned us not to interfere with political affairs. I'll take you to find someone. They should sell me face, but they will definitely report to my dad later. My dad will definitely beat me up, brother-in-law, since that person is not your friend, I think it's better to forget about it!"

"Forget it, I'll figure it out myself!" Chen Dasheng shook his head, and he didn't want to force others to make things difficult for him. He just wanted to meet Liu Xuesong. It seemed easy, but it didn't seem so difficult to do it!

Nangongchen seemed to feel a little sorry, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother-in-law, if you just want to meet that person, there is nothing you can do!"

"Huh?" Chen Dasheng regained his energy when he heard the words.

Nangong Chen said, "My eldest brother, Nangong Chengfeng, works in the Warrior Appraisal Bureau. After the birthday party for grandpa, I'll talk to him for you. He should be able to take you in."
