Chapter 1720: Nowhere to Find
"You've seen her? Really?"
Hearing Ye Heng say this, Li Xiangnan suddenly felt a huge burst of surprise in his heart.
I never thought that news about my grandma would be so close to me one day!
Almost right next to me!
If Xu Qiluo had not been rescued, he would have had no chance to contact Ye Heng!
I wouldn’t know this news!
However, after being surprised, Li Xiangnan quickly reacted and wondered how Ye Heng could have met his grandmother?
Where? Where? In Beijing or somewhere else?
If he had seen grandma in Yanjing, did it mean that grandma herself was in Yanjing?
Recently or in the past?
Thinking that his grandmother might be right next to him, Li Xiangnan suddenly became excited. He quickly reached out and grabbed Ye Heng's arm, looking at him with blazing hope in his eyes.
"Yes, I've seen him..." Ye Heng raised his eyes from staring at the photo and saw the hopeful and expectant look in Li Xiangnan's eyes. He knew that Li Xiangnan must be extremely anxious. The other party had done him a great favor. He also wanted to help Li Xiangnan provide some clues as soon as possible, so he frowned and thought hard, "But where is it?"
"Have you forgotten?" Li Xiangnan's heart suddenly trembled and he felt a little nervous!
Ye Heng, Ye Heng, please don’t let my sudden huge surprise go to waste!
You have to tell me quickly!
He didn't realize that his hand, which was holding the other person's arm, began to tremble slightly.
"Let me think about it, let me think about it carefully!" Seeing Li Xiangnan so anxious, Ye Heng also became anxious. He held the photo and sat down on the doorstep, almost scratching his head. "Doctor Li, I must have seen her..."
"No hurry, no hurry!" Li Xiangnan also sat down, patted the other person's arm, and whispered softly: "Think carefully, when did you see her? Was it recently?"
"Not recently..." Ye Heng frowned, lowered his head and looked at the photo again, "It's been a while..."
"How long do some days mean?" Li Xiangnan's tone rose, feeling it was impolite. He quickly forced himself to soften his tone and asked, "Is it about the past one or two years, or some other time?"
"When...when..."
Ye Heng suddenly stood up again and paced around the yard, looking at the photo in his hand, then looking up at the sky above the yard. Suddenly, he paused and said, "I remember..."
Before he could finish his words, Li Xiangnan jumped in front of him and grabbed his arm, "Tell me, when?"
"After I graduated, I was assigned to work at the research institute... just two and a half years ago, and I had just gotten married!"
Two and a half years ago?
Isn't that what it looked like in early '78?
Li Xiangnan was instantly surprised.
So, grandma was already in Yanjing two years ago?
He suddenly remembered that he had heard Ruobai say that Xiao Xu's husband Ye Heng worked in a research institute!
graduate School?
What are you researching?
His heart was uncontrollably excited.
So, grandma and Ye Heng are colleagues?
Now that we know what unit Ye Heng works in, wouldn’t that mean Grandma’s workplace is self-defeating?
Oh, it's really like searching for something everywhere but finding it, but it turns out to be something without any effort!
"You met my grandma? Really?" Li Xiangnan asked in surprise.
"No, we didn't meet..."
But Li Xiangnan, who was full of expectations, was instantly poured a bucket of cold water.
"No?" Li Xiangnan frowned. "Then you said you have met my grandmother?"
"I've seen her photo!" Ye Heng recalled.
"Photos?" Li Xiangnan was even more confused. "What photos?"
"That year when I went to Donghai..." Ye Heng hesitated, his expression showing the hesitation of wanting to say something but not daring to, yet still finding boundless courage. "When I visited our headquarters, I saw your grandmother on the bulletin board. It was her photo. Yes, I remember it, it was your grandmother, exactly the same! The look, the eyes, the temperament, they're all exactly the same! Although she looks much older, her spirit and features are exactly the same!"
"..."
photo?
Headquarters unit?
Bulletin board?
There is too much information revealed here, and it is very complicated. Li Xiangnan can't sort it out for a while.
For example, what kind of unit is Ye Heng’s unit?
They also have a headquarters in Donghai.
There is a photo of grandma in the bulletin board. Is she the leader of their unit, or is she a leader of a cooperative or some other unit who came to inspect and was photographed?
"Ye Heng, is my grandma the leader of your unit?"
Li Xiangnan asked expectantly.
Ye Heng's face suddenly turned ugly, and he said apologetically, "Doctor Li... I'm sorry, I work in a confidential unit, and there are some rules that I really can't tell you!"
"..."
After hearing this, Li Xiangnan knew that his guess was correct!
Grandma Mu Huanying might really be the leader of his unit...
"But I can tell you that I haven't seen her in our unit!"
"Ok?"
What this means is...
Li Xiangnan's eyes lit up.
Doesn’t this mean that grandma is not the leader of his unit?
"Look, Ye Heng, I know you're from a confidential unit. Pick out some things you can say and reveal a little information without violating discipline. I'll summarize the rest myself!"
Faced with the special nature of Ye Heng's unit, Li Xiangnan had no choice but to do this.
He had to protect Ye Heng while also trying to get as much information as possible for himself.
"There are two photos, so I was impressed. Your grandma came to our unit twice!"
"Oh?"
It seems to be an inspection?
Grandma's status is higher than the leadership position of Ye Heng's headquarters unit?
Can you understand it this way?
"In terms of time?" Li Xiangnan's heart was pounding and he couldn't help asking.
"It spanned more than ten years, and I happened to have seen both of these photos. Although they weren't posted on the same bulletin board, I was a new employee at the time, so I paid close attention to these things. I've always had a sense of awe for those who have come before me. Plus, the training was relatively boring, so I was somewhat interested in the bulletin boards that provided information about the outside world, so I finished browsing the entire exhibition hall..."
A span of ten years?
Would grandma visit Ye Heng's unit for such a long time?
It seems that she cares very much about Ye Heng's unit.
Although he couldn't ask, Li Xiangnan became more and more curious about what Ye Heng was researching.
Ye Heng couldn't say.
But Li Xiangnan could guess.
What kind of unit has a branch in Yanjing and its headquarters in Donghai?
Is it worthy of the care of someone like grandma for more than ten years?
Li Xiangnan himself is in the medical field, and the things he cares about must be related to the industry.
From a certain logic, if we put ourselves in other people's shoes, can we conclude that grandma's industry is also related to Ye Heng's research institute?
But obviously, Ye Heng could not find the answer to the question of discipline.
Then we can only start with other issues.
Li Xiangnan sat under the jujube tree and took out a cigarette. He turned to look at Ye Heng and asked softly, "Ye Heng, can you tell me who my grandmother is?"
