You are the sweet that I can't hide

Chapter 1665 Someone With Doubt①
"This is my duty, the head of state is polite."

Chu Xiuzhi picked up the coffee, took a sip, put it down, and fell into thoughts again.

Meng Shan guessed why he couldn't sleep at night, and asked quietly: "Is there anything bothering the head of state?"

"Where did I go tonight, you should know."

"You went to the annual celebration banquet of Cheng's consortium in micro-service." After a pause, Meng Shan continued: "I heard that Jin's family also went. So, the head of state went to see Jin Gege, didn't he?"

He was noncommittal, and raised his chin slightly: "Well, I met her once. Then, I have been thinking about a very strange question."

"what is the problem?"

"Back then, when we were together, she used the royal tribute left by the Jin family, a piece of Suzhou embroidery, to have someone hand-sewn a men's handkerchief with my surname embroidered on it, and gave it to me as a token of love. And I kept this handkerchief with me all the time, but one day it suddenly disappeared, and I never found it again. I didn’t know until tonight that someone actually returned that handkerchief on my behalf more than 20 years ago. I gave it to Jin Yuan, and it has been in her hands all these years."

Meng Shan's eyelids moved: "So, the head of state has been guessing who that person is all the time?"

"Well, do you have any ideas?"

"It happened so many years ago, who knows." Meng Shan looked at Chu Xiuzhi: "...Or, the head of state already has someone who doubts it?"

Chu Xiuzhi's eyes were indifferent, and he couldn't see any emotion, and his tone was mixed with a little thought:

"I carry this handkerchief with me all the time. Anyone who can take it away from me must be the people around me. I wonder if it could be my parents."

Meng Shan lowered her eyes: "The Jin and Chu families are feuds. Mr. and Mrs. Chu and his wife don't approve of you being together with the daughter of the Jin family. Even if you do, it's normal."

"So, Secretary Meng, you also suspect that my parents did it back then? They sent my handkerchief back to A Yuan, and imitated my handwriting to write a letter of severance?" Chu Xiuzhi tapped his fingers casually.

"The subordinates don't dare to go beyond the rules and criticize Mr. Chu and Mrs. Chu. Moreover, the two have been traveling for many years, so it is not clear whether it was them or not."

Chu Xiuzhi said indifferently: "Yes, my parents have passed away for so many years, and I have no way of knowing whether they did it. This matter may become an unsolved case, and I will never be able to figure it out."

"Since you can't figure it out, why should the head of state bother to think about it? It's better to rest earlier."

Chu Xiuzhi drooped his eyelashes: "Yes. Go and rest first."

A week later, Huazhou TV.

Shu Ge was preparing to record the front line of this issue, when a reporter colleague from the social department ran over and pulled her aside:
"Shu Ge, I just received a call from my informant, saying that I saw Zhao Zhixun!"

Since Jin Yuan said that Zhao Zhixun was missing that day, even the Jin family didn't know where he went. Shu Ge entrusted the TV station's colleagues from the social department to be careful, and if he saw Zhao Zhixun, he would tell him.

Unexpectedly, he was actually caught.

Quickly asked: "Where is he?"

"It is said that he is drinking at the Cat Night Bar at the moment. It is said that he has been getting drunk in that bar these days, and sleeps in the private room there at night. Let me send you the location of the bar."

Shu Ge thanked her, watched her colleagues leave, picked up her phone again, and saw the location address of Maoye Bar that had been sent.

No wonder I couldn't see anyone. I had been hiding in a remote and little-known small bar on the outskirts of the city, and I didn't show up for 24 hours.

She thought for a while, told the staff to delay the recording a little bit, and then walked out of the TV station.
