Chapter 274 I Want to Know the Truth Back then

When Chen He came to the camp, the battle in Hecheng was almost over.

Guardian Yinxu was severely damaged and sealed into a special container.

The witchers began to sweep the field, and it seemed that the battle was over.

Led by Fatty, the two entered through the back door, avoiding the sight of others.

"Grandpa, here we come!"

Chen He looked up, and there was only Xu Qi in the big camp, and he was flipping through an ancient book.

Hearing the voice, he turned and looked at the two of them: "Come?"

"Grandpa Xu!"

Chen He called softly.

He couldn't remember the last time he met him. When he was a child, every time he saw Grandpa Xu, he looked like an amiable scholar. Who would have thought that he would become the Xu Yanwang who made countless ghosts fear?

This contrast between movement and stillness really makes it difficult to connect the two together.

Xu Qi showed a smile, walked in front of Chen He in two steps, and patted his shoulder.

"Time flies so fast, it's been 20 years in a blink of an eye, Xiao He, you have grown up so much."

The old man's eyes were full of memories.

"Grandpa, you guys talk, I'll watch out for you outside!"

The fat man wanted to run as soon as he ran away, and he couldn't stay still.

Xu Qin hummed, but did not stop Fatty.

Instead, he pulled Chen He to sit on the chair next to him, and poured a cup of hot tea himself.

"Is the family okay?" Xu Qi asked, like a parent he hadn't seen for many years, chatting with Chen He.

"Well, it's pretty good. I'm about to graduate from my senior year, and my sister is now entering Wucheng Key High School."

Hearing this, Xu Qi's expression became gloomy: "I'm sorry, I have caused you brothers and sisters to suffer all these years."

Chen He shook his head: "Grandpa Xu, please don't say that. Although it's a bit bitter, the pension from the death of parents has never been cut off. I think you have been secretly helping us?"

Xu Qi sighed: "I've always been worried that some people would follow clues against you. Fortunately, you brothers and sisters have been safe and sound all these years without any accidents."

"It's just that I didn't expect that when we meet again, we will be here!"

Chen He understood what he meant, and was obviously surprised that he became a witcher.

However, he also knew that there had been people secretly protecting the two brothers and sisters all these years.

And behind this protective power is naturally Xu Qi in front of him.

"Grandpa Xu, Xiao Fei was sent by you when he came to Tianhai, right?" Chen He asked.

Xu Qi nodded: "That's right, I received the news that you have joined the non-staff personnel of the Demon Hunt Bureau. I am very worried, so I asked Xiaofei to go and have a look."

"Grandpa Xu, I want to know the truth back then!" Chen He asked straight to the point without going around the bush.

"Didn't you already know?"

"Is this only part of it?" Chen He asked back.

Xu Qi picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled wryly: "Do you think I know more about the inside story?"

"Is not it?"

Xu Qi shook his head: "Although I really want to tell you the truth, my son, I'm sorry, I don't know much more than you. I can only say that your parents' level of secrecy is even higher than mine. What they did back then It's top secret."

Chen He frowned: "Grandpa Xu, what is it?"

"I only know about the key."

"The key to the ultimate place?"

Xu Qi took a deep look at Chen He, it seemed that this young man knew more than he imagined.

"That's right!"

"They worked in Wucheng back then, and they were arranged to be logistics staff in the small eighth team, carrying out certain tasks and plans secretly."

"I have only heard about these plans, and I don't know much about them."

Chen He frowned: "Since it is the key to the investigation, why not fully mobilize the manpower and material resources of the Demon Hunt Bureau? Isn't it easier?"

I saw Xu Qi sneer: "Do you think that the human body is really a piece of iron? If this is the case, the war to seal the demons back then would not be so difficult."

"You mean we have enemies within?"

"Of course, and many, very strong, like a big tree with intertwined roots, deeply rooted in the entire human world."

"Don't you think that the entire era is being guided by a pair of invisible hands?"

"From the age of the nations that started 2600 years ago, to the weird outbreak 20 years ago, the war of sealing demons, the opening of these tombs of gods, it seems that they have been prepared for a long time, and they will be opened within a fixed time."

Chen He was silent and did not speak. He had already guessed about this matter, but he did not confirm it.

Now that Xu Qi gave him the definite answer, it was still shocking and overwhelming.

"So you choose to block the message?"

Xu Qi nodded: "I know better than anyone else what happened to the Eighth Team back then, and I wanted to find out to the end, but the order from above cut off my intuition."

"What order?"

"Stop chasing that accident, or everything your parents did will be for naught."

"I don't dare to bet, so I can only wait, and this wait is five years!"

Chen He became more and more curious, what did his parents do back then?It was like a huge mystery shrouded his heart.

And it must involve a lot, even Xu Qi, who has always been known as iron and blood, is so afraid.

Obviously, there are some things that Xu Qi doesn't want to tell himself now, if he asks, there is a high probability that it will be fruitless.

"No matter what, I will keep investigating this matter, and the truth will always come out." Chen He said firmly.

Xu Qi put down his teacup, and pulled out a file bag from the side: "I have secretly investigated these years, and I have also obtained some useful information. You can take a look at these. As for whether it is useful or not, I am not sure."

Chen He couldn't wait to open the file bag, and glanced at ten lines at a glance.

The information was fragmented, but very fine, and he vaguely felt that there was a thread that could connect all the information.

"Grandpa Xu, this information is very useful, I will continue to investigate."

Xu Qi sighed: "I know you won't give up, but you have to do what you can."

I saw him standing up: "He is in a high position, and he seems to be very beautiful, but most of the time he can't help himself. If it wasn't for Wucheng, I would have wanted to leave that position a long time ago."

"Grandpa Xu, the outside announced that you intend to retire, is it the meaning of the higher authorities?" Chen He asked suddenly.

"Why do you think so?"

"Because with your physical condition, it won't hurt you to work for another 30 years, right?"

Xu Qi squinted his eyes, he felt that he had underestimated the young man he had watched and grown up with.

A wave of domineering gushed out: "If I don't want to leave, it's just a dream to drive me out with those wine bags and rice bags."

Afterwards, he changed the topic: "However, some things have been delayed for so many years, and I have to complete them. Besides, I am an 80-year-old old man, and he is still occupying the hopes of the younger generations. Isn't it annoying?"

Chen He could hear the old man's helplessness. It was obvious that even he couldn't stop some things.

"But I am very worried about Wucheng. If it is really controlled by those ambitious guys, there may be some troubles in the future."

"What do you mean?"

The old man's face became serious: "Chen He, I hope you can do me a favor."
