After a long period of stalling, they finally managed to get rid of the matter.

Zhou Hongcai was actually a little apprehensive.

However, Zhou Zhigang didn't ask any further questions, and the others did the same.

Zhou Hongcai breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time he was thinking about how to resolve this matter.

He sat there, looking somewhat restless.

While waiting for the food to be served, Zhou Hongcai kept trying to be frank with Zhou Zhigang about some things.

But with so many people around, it became difficult for him to be honest.

Furthermore, even if Zhou Hongcai was incompetent, he could sense that Hao Jianshe was treating him badly.

That's right. Hao Jianshe and his uncle Zhou Zhigang are enemies, so how could he be nice to him?

But at this moment, Hao Jianshe looked at him with a strange expression.

Zhou Hongcai didn't know how to describe it, or perhaps he could describe it as having ill intentions?

Looking up, Zhou Hongcai saw Hao Jianshe's smiling face.

Whether it was out of guilt or something else, Zhou Hongcai always felt that Hao Jianshe's smile towards him was somewhat gloating and pointed.

"Could he have found out something?"

Zhou Hongcai pondered to himself, feeling as if he had missed something.

It's as if we're about to face something.

This made Zhou Hongcai even more anxious and uneasy.

In contrast, Gu Yunyang, sitting there, could still chat with Hao Jianshe without showing any timidity.

Gu Yunyang was even able to talk to the people next to Zhou Zhigang without any attempt to avoid suspicion.

These people were not Zhou Zhigang's die-hard followers; in the end, they were all commune cadres.

They are also acting out of self-interest. As long as it's not a matter of political stance, they are not actually bad people.

At least not a bad person in the strict sense.

Therefore, their attitudes will change when things change.

So there's no problem chatting with them.

Hao Jianshe didn't care.

Moreover, Gu Yunyang was chatting with these people in front of him, quite openly.

Furthermore, Gu Yunyang didn't even come to the commune; he was just a brigade cadre. Even if he got involved with these people, it wouldn't really have any impact.

While chatting with others, Gu Yunyang was actually thinking about the Gu family's reaction.

This morning, after the Gu family got up...

When Zhang Yujie opened her eyes, she felt that something was not right.

Why is it so cold?

Subconsciously, Zhang Yujie blurted out a sentence.

Then Zhang Yujie screamed: "Ahhh!"

It was already autumn, and the mornings in the capital were still quite cool, even a bit chilly.

She touched the floor and felt its temperature, which was different from that of the blankets.

Zhang Yujie looked at the bare room in front of her and could hardly believe her eyes.

She must have misread it.

"His dad!" Zhang Yujie shouted loudly, but received no response. She even tried to push Gu Anning away.

Gu Anning, who was standing to the side, had actually woken up as well. No, he had woken up even earlier than Zhang Yujie.

However, my mind was still a complete mess.

I slept really well yesterday, so why am I sleeping on the floor this morning?

I didn't feel any pain from the fall, ugh, I didn't even notice it until you told me.

Thinking about it made Gu Anning realize that her head was throbbing.

"Could it be that I was thrown off the bed? But why didn't I wake up in pain?"

Could it be that he was drugged?

Gu Anning was deep in thought.

Just then, Zhang Yujie started calling him, screaming.
