This time, Grandmaster took me along on his visit to the Hu Family.
He felt that what Old Mr. Hu had run into was no simple matter. If the Tang Family really was behind it, they would not target a dying man unless there was something tremendous to gain.
Since Grandmaster was also getting on in years, he brought me along on this trip.
The flight time alone for this trip to the Hu Family would come to nearly seven hours.
We had to fly from Shen City to City A first, a two-hour flight, then transfer at City A for another five-hour flight to Mohe.
I wondered why Mohe was so hard to reach when it was in the Northeast too.
During our stop at City A's airport, Hu Zhiwen went to the restroom.
While he was away, Grandmaster talked to me about Old Mr. Hu.
After all, everything I knew about Old Mr. Hu came from the internet, so naturally, I did not know him very well.
"Professor Hu is a man of profound learning. Few can match him in traditional Chinese studies."
"Especially when it comes to his research into the Book of Changes," Grandmaster said admiringly. "Many of the commentaries on the Book of Changes on the market were written by him personally. He's a pure cultural researcher."
Moreover, despite being over eighty, Professor Hu still often gave university lectures, promoting classical Chinese learning and traditional culture among students. He was thus a pure scholar as well.
Even more admirably, he had donated all the money he earned from his books to support our country's educational endeavors.
All in all, Professor Hu was an intellectual with old-fashioned ideals who had devoted his entire life to literature and education.
Grandmaster therefore held Professor Hu in extremely high
