In Su Rui's view, there are too many tricks in Xu Xingmin's disappearance.

It is unlikely that he will disappear on his own initiative. After all, at this critical moment, his hiding means a full concession to his second brother Xu Xinglong. You know, although he is a flag figure, this flag is not indispensable. Without him, Xu Xinglong can still complete the financing, but the effect will be discounted.

In the past, Xu Xingmin was a person with a very bottom line and principles. Although he stayed in the kitchen on weekdays, he seemed to be studying cooking, but at the same time, he also preached and learned for his disciples.

Industry is diligent, scarcity is playful, success is thought, destruction is followed.

He is a smart man, otherwise if his IQ is not enough, it is impossible to inherit the cooking skills of his ancestors and carry forward innovation.

Xu Xingmin knows what can be done and what cannot be done. In his opinion, it is unnecessary for the Xu family to become a multinational group. What he wants is to keep the golden plaque of the Xu family and let it shine forever.

In fact, this is not behind the times, but the craftsman spirit urgently needed in this impetuous society.

Although he has never met Xu Xingmin, Su Rui still admires him in his heart after knowing all his deeds.

Therefore, in Su Rui's view, there is only one possibility that Xu Xingmin's disappearance is hidden by Xu Xinglong.

Of course, it can't be said that Xu Xinglong must have done this thing, but Su Rui can't find another point of view after analyzing it.

Xu Xingmin is missing. Xu Xinglong is the biggest vested interest. No one can stop his idea of promoting the listing of the Xu family and even becoming a multinational group.

Su Rui believes that Xu Xingmin, such an influential person, suddenly disappeared, so the police must have ruled out all the evidence that can be ruled out. Xu Xinglong, the most suspected, is still safe and sound, either what he did is too hidden, or he is really innocent.

For the second inference, Su Rui believes that it is extremely unlikely.

"If only I had the chance to meet this second uncle." Su Rui said.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Xu Xinlan's smile was ironic. "After all, Jing Xi came back, and what he should do on the surface still needs to be done well."

Xu Jingxi sighed softly.

In fact, she was unwilling to doubt her second uncle.

After all, in Xu Jingxi's view, although the second uncle was a little shrewd and ambitious, he didn't seem to have any bad thoughts in the past, and the relationship between him and his father was definitely not incompatible. Xu Jingxi was unwilling to believe that the second uncle took the initiative to start killing each other.

However, his father has been missing for so long, and even his life and death are unknown. All doubts point to Xu Xinglong.

It is also because of this matter that Xu Jingxi has not contacted his second Uncle Xu Xinglong for more than two years.

Xu Xinlan added, "however, Xu Xinglong may also welcome Jing Xi on the surface. As for others, it is estimated that they will not give Jing Xi any good face, alas."

Speaking of this, she also sighed, with a strong melancholy in her tone.

Xu Xinlan is only the nominal adopted daughter of Xu Yuanhua's father, and she has not even gone through the adoption procedures. In this case, although her seniority is not low, her voice in the family is not heavy.

Mr. Xu Yuanhua has several children. Since childhood, they have been practicing cooking hard. Now, these children have basically left the kitchen stove, or stepped into the management, or become the so-called masters.

In other words, Xu Xingmin is the only one who has always adhered to the Xu family.

Forgetting your roots is the fatal point of a century old family.

Only by not forgetting the original intention, can we be longer and longer.

Most of the Xu family are too eager for quick success and instant benefits. Even if they make the Xu family's industry listed, how long can it last?

Su Rui seems to have seen the gradual decline of the inheritance of this origin.

I hope the Xu family won't regret it too much at that time. Su Rui said in his heart.

…………

An hour later, the car stopped.

"Lao Xu's family." Su Rui looked at the sign of the hotel in front of him and read.

"In the past 30 years, this is the best business hotel in the whole Sichuan city." Xu Xinlan said.

"The Xu family is very good." Looking at the passenger flow coming and going, Su Rui sincerely sighed.

At least, there are few signs of decline in this century old family, and their eyes are full of prosperity.

I can't say why, the simplest and simple words "Lao Xu's family" on the hotel signboard brought an indescribable intimacy to Su Rui.

This is a kind of cordiality from the heart. On the contrary, those fashionable restaurant names can't arouse Su Rui's feeling at all.

"Come in, I've already booked the room." Xu Xinlan greeted.

"If you two show up, you'll probably make the management of this restaurant very nervous?" Su Rui smiled.

In fact, he has tasted Xu Jingxi's craft twice. No matter how good the craft of this "old Xu family" chef is, it can't be better than Xu Jingxi?

Xu Jingxi happened to say, "in fact, the chef of this head office is my father's Apprentice. He stares in the kitchen every day, and even holds the spoon himself. Unless he is sick, he will not fall all year round."

Hearing this, Su Rui couldn't help feeling a little.

Although Xu Xingmin was missing, his tenacious craftsman spirit was passed down from his apprentice.

"There should be many apprentices like this?" Su Rui said.

"Well, all over the country." When Xu Jingxi said this, Rao Shi was calm, her tone was gentle, and a touch of pride welled up in her eyes.

Her father is really great.

In fact, the head office of Lao Xu's family still adopts the simplest decoration, which is completely irrelevant to the splendor. However, the popularity of business makes it difficult for those restaurants that have made great efforts to decorate.

This time Xu Xinlan asked for a semi open private room, from which you can just see the scene on the first floor.

It's lively and full of the life atmosphere that Su Rui yearns for most.

After the three people took their seats, Xu Xinlan called and said, "Jiang Feng will come right away."

"Aunt LAN, I didn't intend to disturb uncle Feng when I came back this time." Xu Jingxi said with a wry smile.

And this Jiang Feng should be Xu Xingmin's eldest disciple.

"How can that work? He is the one who most hopes you can come back." Xu Xinlan said, "you know, Jiang Feng has always wanted to give you the kitchen of the old Xu family. In his words, he is guarding here for you."

"Stay here for me..." Xu Jingxi read this sentence softly, and a little gloom appeared in the bottom of her eyes.

In fact, she is the most qualified to take over the "old Xu family".

However, after her father disappeared, Xu Jingxi was disheartened and left the capital far away to let her take over the old Xu family. I'm afraid she can't raise any energy.

It seems that only by immersing yourself in the kitchen can you forget the unhappiness that has happened in the past two years.

After a while, a middle-aged man in a chef's suit came up.

He looks like he is in his 40s. He is tall and thin. His eyes are big and bright. He is Xu Xingmin's big apprentice, Jiang Feng.

After seeing Xu Jingxi, his eyes also turned red.

"Calm down, you are finally back." Jiang Feng sat down and seemed to sigh, "how have you been outside these two years?"

"Uncle Feng, I'm fine outside, but it's hard for you." Xu Jingxi said.

Jiang Feng also watched Xu Jingxi grow up and began to keep wiping his tears.

"Unfortunately, master, he is now..." Jiang Feng sighed deeply and couldn't go on.

For nearly three years, it seemed that the stone fell into the sea and there was no news. Now, most people think that Xu Xingmin has suffered an accident, and Jiang Feng thinks so.

However, Xu Xinglong didn't embarrass Jiang Feng's disciples. After all, he also knew that these chefs were also the key to maintaining the gold lettered signboard of the old Xu family. Xu Xingmin had disappeared, and his disciples couldn't be busy anymore.

However, all of Xu Xingmin's disciples believed that Xu Xinglong did it, and even the latter's countless denials were not convincing.

"Alas, uncle Feng, don't say this first." Xu Jingxi's eyes are also red.

However, she is still relatively strong. This time, her eyes have been red for several times since she left the high-speed railway station, but no tears came out of her eyes. Perhaps, in the past two years, Xu Jingxi's tears may have almost dried up.

"Jingxi, if your second uncle wants to invite you to dinner, you must be careful not to be calculated by him." Jiang Feng said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, uncle Feng, I'll take care of myself." Xu Jingxi took a deep breath: "since I'm back this time, I have to finish what my father didn't finish."

Su Rui glanced at her and then nodded with a smile.

"But... Alas..." Jiang Feng sighed deeply, and there was an indelible worry in his eyes. It was obvious that he was afraid that Xu Jingxi would follow his master's footsteps again

"You don't have to worry. This time, Jing Xi came back with her boyfriend." Xu Xinlan said.

"Uncle Feng, hello." Su Rui volunteered.

"Well, what a good boy." Jiang Feng looked at Su Rui's eyes and said, "I don't know why. As soon as I saw you, I thought you could help Jingxi."

Su Rui nodded deeply, "Uncle Feng, don't worry, I'll try my best."

Xu Jingxi glanced at Su Rui and nodded.

In fact, like Jiang Feng's point of view, Xu Jingxi also believes in Su Rui, and what is the source of this trust, Xu Jingxi can't say clearly.

It seems that after learning that Su Rui once resisted the pressure and abolished the heirs of the five aristocratic families, Xu Jingxi had a different impression on this young man - both respect and deep admiration.
