When Gu Zhengfeng came out to use the restroom, Wen Jingwan pulled her husband aside and quietly expressed her concerns.

"Don't worry, don't fret. Third Brother has made arrangements. He won't let anything happen to the two children. What kind of day is this? Don't they know?"

Besides, the other party might not even take the bait; it's all uncertain.

Song Shutian dared to bring people here; surely he had a backup plan? You should know what they do. They're much quicker-witted and more calculating than we are. Don't worry, our daughter probably won't have a chance to make a move today.”

Gu Zhengfeng may not know about other things, but he can analyze them. How many years has that lone wolf been trying to catch? Why hasn't he been caught yet?

It's not just because the other party knows how to hide, but also because they are shrewd. Regarding tonight's events, although they really want these people dead, they probably wouldn't dare to act recklessly without absolute certainty.

They don't occupy any territory here, and besides, they have their daughter, who is their nemesis. He felt that tonight, the other party's scheme would be in vain.

Do they really think their daughter is so easy to bully? With Jiang Qiao's personality, even if she doesn't catch anyone tonight, she probably won't hold back when interrogating Chen Jianwu. Anyone who dares to mess with their child today will have to wait for Jiang Qiao's revenge.

Gu Zhengfeng had complete confidence in his daughter. Having learned her lesson once, his daughter wouldn't make the same mistake again.

When Hou Diankui saw Gu Zhengfeng coming over, the old man waved to him.

"There's no movement outside for now. What are they planning to do?"

Gu Zhengfeng shook his head. "I don't know either. You should take the trouble to keep an eye on things. These guys definitely have some reservations."

Hou Diankui waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'm here. Do you really think I'm a vegetarian? Qiao'er was just lucky that time. There won't be a next time. Go and get busy."

The old man went out again with his hands behind his back. He had already made up his mind: if these grandsons really dared to break into this place, then he would let them taste what it means to come and never return, and what it means to have no regrets.

Jiang Qiao casually inquired about Zuo Zhankui's daughter-in-law, but she didn't know the specifics and needed to find out before asking her own questions.

Cao Mingyuan and the others all knew about this. "Sigh, this matter is quite strange. It was the first time we received a report that the Zuo family's daughter-in-law accepted gifts but did not help people with their affairs. So, when we went to investigate, we actually found out the things the other party mentioned."

However, the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family said that this thing was her dowry. Speaking of her family, this dowry was reasonable. But under normal circumstances, whose dowry would be known to outsiders? Perhaps it was spread by family members.

However, when she actually arrived at her parents' home, the dowry didn't match up, so she changed her story, saying that part of it was part of her dowry and the rest was being kept safe for someone else. But she refused to say who this "someone else" was.

So there's nothing that can be done about it. If you don't speak up, she'll have to bear the consequences herself, since the source of her assets is unclear, and it's still the same amount.

Jiang Qiao pondered for a moment, "Is it possible that these things belong to her? Listen to me, the black market, you all probably know about it."

Whether she went there or not, let's not talk about that for now. Let's just talk about this place. Did the Zuo family's daughter-in-law go there and exchange things there? You all know what kind of years those were. Gold and silver jewelry were worthless. A handful of grain could be exchanged for a piece of gold—”

Cao Mingyuan and the others nodded thoughtfully. "It's not impossible, but going to the black market isn't much better than taking a gift and not doing anything."

The crux of the problem is that the whistleblower hasn't been found, making it a cold case. The daughter-in-law of the Zuo family is unlucky, but who benefits from it remains unknown.

Jiang Qiao countered with a question, "Did you handle this case?"

Cao Mingyuan took a sip of wine, smacked his lips, and said, "It smells so good. Girl, get me some later."

That case wasn't handled by us at all, and it had nothing to do with us. Zuo's daughter-in-law works locally, which has nothing to do with us. Because it involved Zuo Zhankui, we paid some attention to it, but we couldn't get involved.

There are some suspicious points here. Why didn't the whistleblower use their real name? And what the other party said about handling things was not actually done by the daughter-in-law of the Zuo family.

Therefore, the case could only be handled unilaterally in the end. However, Zuo Zhankui's son was a bit unlucky; his wife made a mistake, and the man inevitably suffers the consequences.

Jiang Qiao took a sip of water and looked at Cao Mingyuan with a puzzled expression. "What do the Zuo family's son and daughter-in-law do? What's going on with the wife's family?"

Since he had already said it, Cao Mingyuan decided to explain it to Jiang Qiao clearly.

Song Shutian listened from the side, also wanting to hear Jiang Qiao's opinion. Although they couldn't interfere in local affairs, the Zuo family's son was under their jurisdiction.

"The woman works for the Materials Bureau, and the man works for our Supply Department. The woman's parents are both leaders—"

Jiang Qiao waved her hand and said, "Wait a minute, Zuo Zhankui's son works in the supply department? Don't tell me he's in charge of my father's side?"

Gu Zhengfeng knew a little about this matter. Although he didn't usually have any contact with the Zuo family, he knew a bit about the people involved.

"I think so?"

Cao Mingyuan nodded. "That's right. Right now, how many people want to take his place? As for how to do it, that's not our business."

Jiang Qiao glared at him. "Why do you say that? How come it's not under your jurisdiction? Whether the people who come up here are qualified or not, although it's not directly under your jurisdiction, if you bring in someone with problems, the consequences will be very serious. What if they were sent in by enemy agents? What do you say we do about that?"

I now suspect that the person who wrote the anonymous letter is likely an enemy agent, and they might have been eyeing the things the Zuo family's daughter-in-law possessed for a long time, but just hadn't found a suitable opportunity.

Liu Zhanyu patted Jiang Qiao on the shoulder. "Daughter, this is all just our speculation. You should know what we do; we don't have that much power—"

Jiang Qiao sighed deeply; what Liu Zhanyu said was truly the truth.

"Dad, why are you always spouting such blunt truths? You don't know how to comfort people at all. Actually, in my heart, you people are all very capable—"

Song Shutian smiled and said, "So, there are some things you need to stir up. Maybe if you do, things will become clearer."

Jiang Qiao chuckled wryly, "Oh dear, you overestimate me. Eat more, stop chatting. Look at my Uncle Song, he's a real go-getter. If you don't eat now, Uncle Song will eat it all up."

Song Zhi grinned and said, "That's right. You can't even get this kind of food in restaurants. Hurry up and eat! Qiao'er's wedding banquet is great, with good wine and good food. You won't find this kind of place again."

Girl, bring me some of that wine later, we're out at home—"
