【035】 The drunkard's real intention is not to drink

Two days later, Du Yong and the policewoman came again.

Upon learning the purpose of their visit, Gu Juan was stunned. "Gu Haojie attacked a police officer?"

"Yes," Du Yong said. "After investigation, we've determined that Gu Haojie is Chen Bin's murderer. We were about to apprehend him, but he attacked a police officer and is now on the run. We came here to ask if he's contacted you."

"He has always disliked me. He would never come to me even if he was desperate." Gu Juan said.

Du Yong understood and handed him a business card. "Okay, if you have any clues, feel free to contact me."

"I will."

"Also," Du Yong took two steps forward and turned around, giving a subtle warning, "If you see him appear again, be very careful. He... is an extremely dangerous person."

After seeing the two policemen off, Zhao Rui, Liu Hui and Zhang Cong looked at each other, and then looked at Gu Juan with sympathy.

"Boss, do you think we should get some grapefruit juice for the third brother to wash, or get a brazier for him to step over?" Liu Hui suggested.

Gu Juan was speechless. "I didn't come out from 'inside'. However, it is indeed unlucky to be associated with Gu Haojie." Unfortunately, Gu Haojie slipped away. He turned and went into the bathroom, locked the door, entered the space, and used the spiritual energy to "wash" thoroughly.

The next day, a police notice appeared in the newspapers announcing that Chen Bin's killer had been found and was now at large. Alongside the notice was a wanted poster with a photo of Gu Haojie. The police urged the public to come forward with information, but also warned them to exercise caution if they spotted him. That same day, a prominent website posted a bounty from Chen Bin's father, the president of a certain company. The bounty offered a reward of 100,000 yuan if the information was confirmed, and 2 million yuan if it led to the capture of Gu Haojie. This immediately caused quite a stir in Congzhou.

However, the wanted poster was only online for less than ten minutes before disappearing. Many netizens suspected that Chen Bin's father had regretted his actions.

Gu Juan speculated that the police had a private discussion with Chen Bin's father. After all, Gu Haojie was no ordinary person. If anyone confronted him head-on for money, they would surely die. The police presumably didn't want to cause unnecessary casualties.

Gu Juan called Gu Yinyin.

Almost no one at Gu Yinyin's school knew that Gu Haojie was her brother, so her daily life was not affected. However, the police had been secretly watching the three of them so that they could arrest Gu Haojie in time if they found him.

However, Gu Haojie never showed up.

Regardless, the matter had come to a temporary end. Gu Juan's resentment towards Chen Bin also vanished with Chen Bin's death. However, he still had doubts about why Gu Haojie attacked Chen Bin.

On An Jiaqi's side, Gu Juan doubled the price and asked ** to continue investigating An Jiaqi's background. To prevent An Jiaqi from dying inexplicably like Chen Bin, he found an opportunity to secretly place a spiritual mark on An Jiaqi. If An Jiaqi's emotions fluctuated violently, he would be able to detect it immediately.

…

After their last English audio-visual class of the morning, Gu Juan, Zhang Cong, and Lu Shanshan walked together to the school cafeteria. The three of them, walking together, were like a luminous object, and those who turned around looked at them with envy, some for Gu Juan and Zhang Cong, others for Lu Shanshan.

It’s a long story why Lu Shanshan appeared here.

Since Gu Juan and Zhang Cong met Lu Shanshan, Lu Shanshan gradually became familiar with the four people in 303. As long as the courses did not conflict, Lu Shanshan would follow Gu Juan and Zhang Cong to take English courses, saying that it was to prepare for the CET-4 exam.

She was graceful, considerate, and the campus beauty of the School of Communication. Zhao Rui, Liu Hui, and Zhang Cong all had a crush on her. But they all assumed Lu Shanshan was interested in Gu Juan. Whenever the 303 students wanted to invite Lu Shanshan to dinner or basketball games, she would first ask if Gu Juan wanted to go. If Gu Juan didn't want to go, she would find an excuse not to go.

Gu Juan didn't think so. It seemed like Lu Shanshan was indeed very close to him, sometimes sharing snacks with him first. But he always felt something was odd. He and Lu Shanshan had bumped into each other too many times at school. Therefore, he was always wary of her.

"Which cafeteria are we going to eat?" Zhang Cong asked.

Lu Shanshan said, "The braised pork in the second cafeteria is delicious. Why don't we go there?"

Zhang Cong smiled and said, "Beautiful lady, do you like eating braised pork? Aren't you afraid of gaining weight?"

"I have a physique that allows me to eat anything without gaining weight. Are you jealous?" Lu Shanshan said proudly, "I've had so many braised pork dishes, and I think the one made by the chef in the second cafeteria is the best. But, Gu Juan, you probably don't think so. I heard from Liu Hui that your brother is a very good cook and often brings you food."

"Brother Gu Juan's cooking skills are really good. I ate a chicken leg there last time and I'm still savoring it." Zhang Cong nodded in agreement.

Lu Shanshan looked curious, "Is his cooking really that good?"

Gu Juan's eyes flashed, and he finally caught the thread that was floating in his mind. He finally knew what was wrong: when Lu Shanshan was with him, she would often inadvertently lead the conversation to Xi Lang! After so many chance encounters with him, it turned out that she had other intentions.

He deliberately said: "My brother's cooking is really delicious. My future sister-in-law is blessed."

"Hey, your elder brother isn't married yet?" Lu Shanshan paused, raised her lips and smiled, and the look she gave back was indeed very charming. Zhang Cong was stunned for a moment.

Gu Juan said calmly: "Yes."

"No way? Actually, I always thought that the meals he sent to you were made by your sister-in-law, but it turns out that they were really made by him. I envy you so much for having such a good brother!" Lu Shanshan smiled charmingly and her laughter was sweet and pleasant.

Gu Juan saw her face was calm, yet her eyes flickered with a hint of excitement. He suddenly understood, and couldn't help but wonder if Lu Shanshan's kindness to him in his previous life was truly sincere. She had asked him about An Jiaqi many times, but because An Jiaqi had a girlfriend at the time, he never thought much of it. In his previous life, Chen Bin had loved Lu Shanshan. Could it be that Chen Bin killed him out of passion? Unable to obtain Lu Shanshan, Chen Bin suspected that she loved him, so he killed her.

But these were just speculations. Chen Bin was dead, so there was no point in discussing them. Gu Juan felt somewhat bored and his attitude towards Lu Shanshan turned cold.

"I remembered I have something else to do. I'm not going to the cafeteria anymore. I'm going back to the dormitory first. You guys go eat."

Zhang Cong quickly caught up with him and smiled apologetically at Lu Shanshan, "I forgot to bring my meal card, so I'm going back with Gu Juan."

After walking away, Zhang Cong patted Gu Juan's shoulder and said, "Third brother, is it my illusion? Why do I feel that Lu Shanshan is very interested in your eldest brother?"

Gu Juan raised an eyebrow, "What a coincidence, I have the same illusion."

Zhang Cong curled his lips, his favorable impression of Lu Shanshan suddenly declining. It's not unusual for a woman to pursue a man, and it's not illegal to like a tall, rich, and handsome man. If you pursued him openly, we'd praise you for your courage. But you've been intentionally or unintentionally approaching several others just to pursue someone else, and you've been snooping around like a sly rat. Isn't that disgusting?

The text message alert on his cell phone rang. Gu Juan read the content and quickened his pace. "Fourth Brother, I'm in a hurry to receive an email. I'll leave first."

Zhang Cong hurriedly said, "Go ahead. I'll go get some food and bring you some."

"Okay, thank you." Gu Juan gave him the meal card and walked away quickly.

In addition, starting tomorrow, the update time of this article will be changed to: 11:00-13:00. Because the chapters released on a scheduled basis will be pushed to the bottom of the bookshelf, it is easy for readers to overlook them if they are not paying attention, so Moumou will try not to use a scheduled update.
