No matter what kind of thoughts it was to prompt the king to avoid Duke Elliot and meet him with Chris privately, the most basic face would be given to him.

So, Wien did not continue to pick on the tricks, but started chatting with him.

George II was like an elder of an ordinary family. He only asked a few ordinary questions occasionally, and Wien answered them all one by one.

In contrast, Chris didn't say much, and he sat obediently on the side and seemed particularly quiet.

However, George II did not seem to pay special attention to Chris' performance, and he focused all on Wien.

Hearing Wien mention the interesting things in the academy, the king smiled.

"It is always difficult for young people to think so thoroughly. They only rely on their own courage to do things, so big and small problems are inevitable." If he said meaningfully, "Only after they grow up, they will understand what they really want."

Wien wasn't sure if he was alluding to something.

"...But, isn't that good?" After a period of conversation, Wien's tone was also very casual.

"You have things you like in your teenagers, and you have things you like in your thirties. When all your enthusiasm fades, you can only get the surprise that has been late for too long, and it will be meaningless."

He had a deep understanding of this.

It’s like after graduation and working, I accidentally encountered a toy I missed when I was a child but didn’t buy.

Or it was like passing a roadside shop one day and suddenly bought a lot of 50 cents snacks and went home, but in the end they only took one bite and threw them away.

Once you miss the right time, you will never be able to find the kind of taste you once longed for.

George II frowned unconsciously when he heard this, but soon stretched out again.

"It turns out that I am still young, I think too simple." He sighed, "Not all wishes can be satisfied in the moment."

"The so-called growth process is actually a process of gradually understanding what you should give up... This is the same for anyone."

His eyes were dotted and focused on a certain corner of the table, and the king's eyes were slightly sad.

"Even if you can't figure it out now, you will understand one day in the future." He said.

Seeing that he was really unwilling to make things clear, but was playing puzzles all the time, Wien soon was too lazy to speculate on what he meant.

"Then let's talk about it when you grow up."

Wien pulled the corner of his mouth and showed a bright smile. "I'm still young anyway."

The king was a little surprised by this reply and looked at him firmly for a while.

After a moment of silent silence, he said in a complicated tone: "Yes, you... and you are all still young."

It seemed that he finally realized that there was a gap between reality and ideal situation again. The king seemed to have lost the interest to continue talking in an instant. Not long after, he left first on the grounds that he had something else.

In vain, Wien and Chris were left behind, and they sat in the private room and looked at each other.

"So, what exactly is he trying to say?" Wien wondered.

Thinking back, it was just a chat, and by the way, it was revealed that the king appreciated him very much, and someone around him recommended him.

Apart from that, no other meaningful content can be extracted.

Chris pondered for a moment and guessed uncertainly: "According to common sense, Your Majesty should also want to know our position... Could it be that he has drawn our tendency from your reply?"

Wien thinks this is not the reason.

"Not to mention that I have basically not officially taken over any family affairs. It is not reliable to look for me if I don't ask my father for such things."

Moreover, there is a feeling of guiding the younger generation as an elder.

"Um..." Chris supported the table with both hands and looked at him with his chin.

"Maybe, I want to know your personality? His attention to you just now is much higher than that of me."

Wien couldn't help laughing, "Why do you sound sour?"

And Chris just hummed out of his nose disdainfully, in response.

...

The two continued to go to the publishing house as planned.

After returning home, Wien truthfully reported the situation to the head of the family Duke Elliott.

"Haha, I just want to see what kind of person you are, don't care." Although Eliot did not guess that the king would play according to common sense this time, he did not think that this would have any impact.

In fact, it is indeed the case.

Almost all the affairs of the Winchet family were decided by Duke Elliot alone, and it was not the other person's turn to intervene.

He respects and cares about his children very much, but he will subconsciously exclude his children from many things. Perhaps in his opinion, this is also a kind of protection for children.

"By the way, you sent someone to investigate the background of a guard in the city guard. They have come back. Please arrange your own time to meet him."

When Wien heard Elliot's words, he felt a little nervous.

As expected, once you follow the family path, it is almost impossible to hide it from Duke Elliot himself.

"good."

Even if there is something wrong with this person's identity and he is not very involved with him, Wien is not very nervous about it.

With the cover-up of the family chamber of commerce, Wien met with his subordinates who specialized in helping him do private work.

Even if he acts like he withdraws from the center of power, the background of the Duke family cannot be underestimated. Wien easily obtained a very detailed background investigation report.

"Master Wien, all the information we have tracked down is summarized here." A man about thirty years old said respectfully.

"If you have any unclear things, you can also ask me anytime."

Wien followed the report and quickly browsed it at a glance. "Well. You guys sit there too, I'll take a look first."

He was already trying to control his expression, but he couldn't help but look at it and frown tighter.

According to what Gavin told him, the reason why the man named Diff came to Wangdu with his sister to make a living was because his parents both died of serious illness, but the reply he sent to investigate was not the case at all.

No, to be precise, the girl named Debbie did die of her parents due to illness, and had been away from her hometown for many years and had no news.

However, completely different from the original statement is that their family has no son at all!

This message was like a cluster of Mars that suddenly lit up in the dark night, and a surprising thought suddenly popped up in Vien's mind.

He couldn't help but ask in a deep voice: "I don't doubt your abilities, but the authenticity of this investigation is very important to me. Can it be guaranteed to be true?"
