Chapter 257： explore

"do not be upset."

When Xia Xu saw that Pan Long fell into a sad silence after reading the letter, he couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I have good news here, do you want to hear it?"

"What good news?"

Pan Long was in a low mood and didn't respond much to Xia Xu's words.

"Your parents should still be alive, at least your father should still be alive."

Xia Xu smiled.

Pan Long was shocked: "Really, really?"

His parents have been missing for so many years. To be honest, he has no hope of whether they are still alive or not, and he is vaguely prepared.

Especially after seeing this hidden letter today, the terminally ill mother still has words that seem to explain her death and even directly call herself a 'suicide note'. Various signs have made his heart fall to a low point.

The words in Xia Xu's mouth were not the conclusion that he hoped very much, but he knew that there was little hope under his reason.

"Of course it's true. Duan Zhiyi is obsessed with researching brain control technology for your mother's sake. If she already had the definite news of her death, Duan Zhiyi wouldn't be so bewildered now."

Xia Xu shook his head and laughed, walked to Meng Bochao's side, reached out and reopened the zoomed browser window: "In addition, there is a problem with this letter, this photo was definitely replaced later."

The browser's page is still stuck on the blog interface of "Sail Away", displaying the last blog post ten years ago. "Look, the timing just doesn't match.

Xia Xu tapped on the computer screen.

And the point where his finger is placed is the short text below the photo.

[I heard that the company has gradually entered the right track and can finally have stable research funds in the future

J, I will definitely cure her

"Yes, the boss is right, the time is not right, according to the content of this blog post, this photo is actually before the company's listing, and it did not fall out with Dong Changhe.

Otherwise, it is impossible to stand together and take a photo together, and also said that there is stable funds to continue research, Dong Changhe and your father should turn their faces after this. "

After Xia Xu pointed out the key, Yang Bowen and others also responded quickly.

Combining the meaning of the text, this blog post was actually published before Dong Changhe and Pan Yuanhang turned their faces, but Pan Yuanhang's hidden letter in the photo was obviously based on the situation long after he had turned his face and left the Yunfan Group.

Pan Yuanhang couldn't have completely predicted all this before it happened, and then recorded it all from the perspective of someone who has come and experienced it?

Therefore, it is clear that this group photo with the secret letter hidden was actually replaced by Pan Yuanhang later.

So at least until Pan Yuanhang replaces this photo, he should be in a safe state.

Moreover, when talking about the expressions of Yunfan Group and Dong Changhe and others in the letter, they are actually in a rational state, a peaceful attitude that seems to be seen and washed away. It can be seen that the time interval for the replacement of this group photo is absolutely Not short.

Since Pan Yuanhang can still communicate with the outside world after being missing for so long, it must prove that his survival status is actually guaranteed.

"Then are they at this address?"

After listening to everyone's analysis, Pan Long looked excited.

At the very end of the letter, Pan Yuanhang did leave an address where he had previously sold Guanzi, and the location was in Star City.

"Maybe, let's go and see.

Xia Xu nodded vaguely.

These words are mostly to take care of Pan Long's mood.

But in fact, he knew in his heart that this possibility is probably not large.

Don't look at Pan Yuanhang's tone of voice in the secret letter, which is a state of escapism, but the inside and outside of the words are actually more like a deliberate performance and cover up.

Just like a wandering child, even if he has just been scolded by his boss for being bloody, overworked, and eating instant noodles, he will face the sudden phone call from his parents and he will forcefully laugh and laugh, saying how good his job is. How happy life is, eating luxurious meals and so on, the more embarrassed it is, the more so.

If he really lived a normal life, then Pan Yuanhang would not have disappeared for so long, and there was no need to communicate with Pan Long in such a roundabout way.

Talking about testing his son's IQ, Pan Yuanhang may really have some of these considerations, but if a father really has any property he wants to give his son, normally he will never be so secretive, even if he wants to test it, it's perfectly fine. Be blunt.

Therefore, even if Pan Yuanhang's life safety is guaranteed, his personal freedom is bound to be limited, which makes him have to be oblique and covert to communicate with the outside world, and he is afraid of involving his "silly son".

The address he left behind may have really left something for Pan Long, but 80% of it won't be there.

But at this moment, even if Pan Long said it was impossible, he probably wouldn't listen, so let him be happy with some expectations.

Anyway, after so many years, even if the final result is disappointment, this emotional ups and downs will not defeat the protagonist of the plot.

"Then what are we waiting for, hurry up, hurry over."

Under Pan Long's urging, Xia Xu had to rush to the address mentioned in the secret letter with him.

Just in case, he still brought equipment such as the Miao Dao recurve bow, and the drone jamming gun brought back from Huichuang Hi-Tech today.

Of course, there is also the indispensable bodyguard dog Atto.

Apart from that, there was only one person, He Qing, who was in charge of driving, and Xia Xu did not let them go together.

After all, I don't know if there is any danger. He Qing has a three-star fighting force, but Meng Bochao and the others have no self-protection ability. If they encounter any situation, they will become a drag.

The commercial car drove for more than 40 minutes.

In the end, although the car did not drive to the suburbs, it had reached an area far from the city center.

[Square Market]

From a distance, UU Reading 's signboard text on the roof comes into view.

This is a trade market, or a second-hand market. The main merchants are dealing with second-hand furniture, followed by second-hand air conditioners, computers, kitchen utensils, etc. Of course, there are also new ones.

The popularity of the market is not very strong, but it is maintained at a tepid level. In the deserted place, there are silhouettes wandering through the streets, giving people a very leisurely feeling.

Parking the car at the entrance of the market, a few people walked straight along the gate, just entering the sidemost alley on one side of the square market. "Turn left at facade 1314, it should be here, right?"

Going deeper, Xia Xu and the three turned left according to the photo address.

The direction of the left turn is no longer the market.

This lane is the far side of the market, and the left turn is a concrete downhill road.

But at the end of the downhill road was a wasteland overgrown with weeds. Part of the area was a foundation excavated with a lot of yellow mud, and some was a wasteland with a lot of weeds and low shrubs, and an occasional abandoned dilapidated building.
