This top guy is crazy!

After having a coffee and taking a photo at the Central Park Cafe, the group went upstairs, but soon came back down looking somewhat dejected, because they had moved out of the apartment.

Zhanbo returned to the coffee shop and asked the staff if he could find any information about Uncle Joey from them.

Afterwards, they found out where Ganser, who had been the manager of the coffee shop ten years ago, had gone.

The shop assistant said their boss might know.

It turns out that after working for many years, Ganse had saved enough money to buy this coffee shop and is now the owner of the shop in name and in fact, so he no longer needs to work.

Ganse was shocked upon seeing Zhanbo:
"Joey?! Is that really you? My God, you haven't aged a bit!"

Zhanbo quickly waved his hands: "No, no, no! Sir, I'm not Joey! I'm his nephew, Zhanbo!"

Curry Sauce whispered to Meijia, "Wow, Zhanbo and his second uncle look so alike? Even an old foreign man mistook them!"

Chen Meijia's eyes lit up: "This means we've come to the right place!"

Zhao Haitang excitedly pulled out her notebook: "This is absolutely a crucial plot point!"

Ganse looked closely at Zhanbo's young face, finally snapping out of his daze. A deep sense of loss flashed in his eyes, quickly replaced by a complex longing. He sighed and said:
"Sorry... young people, you all look too alike."

Zhanbo then explained his purpose, saying that Joey was his long-lost second uncle, and they had come to the country to find their relatives, and wanted him to help provide information about Joey.

Zhanbo: "Mr. Ganse, can you tell us about my uncle?"

Ganser's gaze became distant as he said:
“Joey, where to begin? He’s a guy who can eat a whole Thanksgiving turkey and add a sandwich. His ‘acting career’… let’s just say, his best quality was his amazing ability to attract women. Women loved him. He worked for me briefly… but it was a disaster, an absolute disaster. He’d give any pretty woman a free muffin, claiming it was their ‘birthday’.”

Lu Ziqiao said admiringly:

"Senior! This is true mastery!"

Meijia stomped on his foot hard.

Ganser:

“He has a group of very reliable friends. He has Chandler, that sarcastic fool… Chandler promised to take care of Joey. And he did. He paid his rent for him for several years and settled his bills at my place… even though Joey always ‘forgot’ his wallet.”

Zhanbo: "And then what? Where are they now?"

Ganser:

“They all moved away. About ten years ago, Chandler bought a villa in the suburbs, and they built a small apartment for Joey next to it. They're probably still there, watching soap operas and living off Chandler’s salary.”

Ganse picked up a pen, wrote an address on a piece of paper, handed it to Zhanbo, and said:

“Here you go. You’ll likely find him there. Tell him to ask if he still recognizes Ganser; it’s been a long time since you’ve seen the old friend.”

Zhanbo was extremely excited: "Thank you! Thank you so much, Mr. Ganser!"

Hu Yifei sincerely said, "We are very grateful for your help!"

Having obtained their location, the main characters of Love Apartment immediately headed to the countryside. The Love Apartment members hid behind neatly trimmed hedges, peeking out and observing the scene in the yard.

In the center of the courtyard, a man with half-gray hair but still tall and robust, dressed in a casual shirt and jeans, was patiently playing catch with a blond, blue-eyed boy of about five or six years old.

The man had a bright, even somewhat childlike smile, but the wrinkles around his eyes were quite noticeable. According to Zhanbo's calculations, his uncle Joey was 56 years old at this time.

However, you can still tell what Zhanbo looks like from his aged face.

Everyone confirmed that this was Zhanbo's second uncle.

Afterwards, Zhanbo and the others considered whether to go over and say hello. The main characters of Love Apartment all used their imaginations to fantasize about all sorts of things that would happen after they went over to say hello.

For example, Zhang Wei fantasizes about an inheritance storm, where he goes up to greet Joey as Joey's nephew in place of Zhanbo, and Joey then gives him his huge inheritance.

Zhao Haitang's imagined scenario is that after they recognize Qiao Yi, a bug in the TV series world is triggered.

In the scene, the sky splits open like a shattered mirror, revealing the production crew behind it.

The production team was stunned and didn't understand what had happened.

At this moment, a voice rang out, claiming to be the will of the world, warning him to stop investigating, for the truth of the world is not something these characters should know! If he were to delve any further, the entire narrative structure would completely collapse! All the characters would disappear, and everyone would have to return to their original script.

Lu Ziqiao fantasizes about working with Joey to summarize their life experiences and write a book called "The Encyclopedia of Picking Up Girls: Global Edition," so that women from different cultural backgrounds can feel the warmth of spring and fall deeply in love with them.

Tang Youyou fantasizes about a tragic ethical drama.

In the scene, Youyou stumbles over, kneels down in front of Joey, and bursts into tears:
"Second Uncle! I am your niece Youyou, whom you have never met! Do you know? When you left, Grandma... she missed you so much that she fell ill! Her only wish before she died was to see you one last time! She held my hand and said... 'Youyou, find your second uncle and tell him... tell him... Mom is dying... Mom's biggest worry is him, Second Uncle! Come home!'"

Seeing that everyone was talking nonsense, Zhanbo quickly interrupted:

"Stop! Stop! Stop! What kind of ridiculous scripts are these?! Inheritance, world collapse, dating tips... This is outrageous! I... I just want to find a relative! Can't you be normal?"

Zhanbo was extremely nervous, unsure whether he should go over and say hello.

At this moment, their furtive behavior attracted the attention of their neighbors, who immediately pulled out their guns.

"Oh my god! A gun!" Zeng Xiaoxian was the first to collapse, his legs went weak.

Lu Ziqiao immediately raised his hands, revealing a harmless and bright smile, though it was a little stiff: "Calm down! Calm down! Big brother!"

Zhang Wei: "A misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding!"

Zhuge Dali quickly assessed the situation and whispered, "Should we crouch down with our hands on our heads now?"

Curry sauce rant:
"Everyone says that in Freedom of the Seas, gunfights happen every day, I never thought it was true, waaaaah!"

They were so frightened that they had no choice but to go and acknowledge their relatives. Zhanbo quickly said that he had come to find his uncle.

His uncle is Joey.

The burly neighbor was also stunned. He lowered his gun slightly and looked at Joey with a puzzled expression: "Joey? You know these people? Are they your family?"

He had an air of "If not, I'll just shoot."

Joey walked over, and Zhanbo quickly offered his face so Joey could see him clearly. (End of Chapter)
