Chapter 95 Chapter 95 Jiang Hongguo and Lao Zheng returned to the office to discuss...

The people waiting at the door left one after another, but Hong Guo was still waiting. Seeing that Chen Qingzhi hadn't left yet, she sat in the car wondering what she was waiting for. Hong Guo couldn't help but walk forward to ask.

Chen Qingzhi sat in the car, looking through the car window at Jiang Hongguo, who was waiting for someone, with a lot of thoughts in her mind. Her husband knew about her secret crush in high school and said that it was the most beautiful memory in a person's life and she didn't mind.

So, when I encountered the matter about Gu Zhiqing’s lover Jiang Hongguo today, I went back and told her. Between husband and wife, honesty is the most important thing.

When Chen Qingzhi saw Hongguo coming towards her car, she suddenly started the car and drove away quickly to avoid the embarrassment of being questioned by Jiang Hongguo.

After returning home, she took the initiative to tell her husband: "I met Gu Changzong's wife Jiang Hongguo tonight."

Her husband just thought it was just some ordinary nonsense, and didn't take it to heart. He didn't respond, but just reminded her: "Xiaoyu has fallen asleep, you should find a kindergarten for her. If you delay it any longer, she won't be able to adapt when she goes to primary school."

Chen Qingzhi nodded in agreement: "Before, we were running around and it was unstable. Now that we have settled down, we will do it."

"Okay, you decide."

"By the way, during this dinner tonight, I heard from Zhang Yaoqin that she wants to be the president of the Mining Association and is trying to win over people. Should I continue to contact her? Or should I stay away from her?"

"It's up to you. Just let her know that you can't change my decision and that you can't help her in business. You can do whatever you want with her in other aspects of the relationship."

Chen Qingzhi understood, and fortunately she didn't agree to anything casually.

Having had a very pleasant chat with her husband tonight, she felt hopeful again and said tentatively, "I'll clean up your room and see if there's anything you're not satisfied with. I'll change it."

The husband's tone turned cold: "No need to change, just like this."

Chen Qingzhi was delighted and walked around to his door to take a look. Her happiness instantly dropped to the bottom. The half-new sheets were the ones she had slept on, but were ruthlessly replaced by her husband with the washed-out blue sheets he slept on.

Chen Qingzhi felt upset and couldn't understand what her husband was thinking.

At the beginning, he was an unmarried young man with a promising future, but he insisted on marrying her, a divorced woman with a child. He finally convinced her family to accept it, but after marriage, he asked to sleep separately. What kind of couple is this?

At first she thought her husband needed a buffer period and agreed willingly, but as time went by, there was no sign of improvement.

She had been looking forward to the agreed time. If her husband was still like this, she would have a reason to have a good talk. But now she didn't dare to talk for fear of bursting the bubble too early.

In fact, apart from the fact that they slept in separate rooms, her husband had nothing to say about her and treated their daughter as his own, unable to find any fault with her. Chen Qingzhi could only suppress her grievances and silently return to her daughter's room.

…

Jiang Hongguo waited for half an hour before she arrived at Yushan. Almost everyone at the restaurant entrance had left, leaving only Hongguo.

She knew that Yu Shan would not hesitate when it came to her safety, so she asked hurriedly, "Why are you so late? What delayed you?"

Yu Shan smiled grimly: "I walked around twice on the road and saw a few hooligans sneaking around. They didn't look like good people, so I beat them up before coming here."

Hong Guo asked: "Do you think those thugs are coming for me? They don't think I want to go home by myself, do they?"

Yu Shan didn't care: "Who cares? They are not good guys anyway, so it's worth beating them up."

After sending Hongguo home, Yu Shan fiddled around in the house for a long time, tinkering with a disguise device.

Before leaving, he specifically instructed: "Don't worry about what time I come back at night. If anyone asks tomorrow, just say I was home all night."

Hong Guo was a little worried and asked Lao Zheng, "He brought so many things with him, he won't cause any trouble, right?"

Old Zheng was calm: "I have worked with Guan Cheng and his team before. He knows what can and cannot be done. He has a bottom line. Don't worry about it."

Lao Zheng asked her in return: "How was the conversation tonight?"

Hong Guo thought it was boring even if he mentioned it: "It's the same old trick. He wants to unite everyone to force me to compromise. I ignored him."

But there is one thing I still want to mention: "By the way, I met Gu Zhiqing's classmate before he went to the countryside at the dinner table. She was Gu Zhiqing's secret crush in high school. That woman got married for the second time and she is doing well. The man's family has some connections and they also lease a mine here."

Old Zheng was stunned. How could he explain this? If Gu Changzong came back, he would have hurriedly explained it to Hongguo.

He pondered and thought of some explanations: "Don't worry about it. Look, our personalities, habits, and preferences have all changed. The body is just a shell. Chang Zong is Chang Zong, and it has nothing to do with Gu Zhiqing."

What Hongguo knew was that he just wanted to talk about this matter.

"I know. I'm not worried about that. I'm afraid that Chang Zong will come back and see Chen Qingzhi and she will find out something is wrong. Don't disbelieve me, women's intuition in this regard is very accurate."

Old Zheng was not worried about Jiang Hongguo's concerns at all: "You are confused because you are in charge. Now Changzong has a regular position and her identity is clear. Even if she is recognized, what will happen? Who will believe her story?"

Hongguo thought about it and realized that Changzong was busy with important matters, and those small problems could no longer threaten his identity.

She said happily: "You see, my original decision was right, fortunately Changzong agreed early, and I can become a small leader."

Old Zheng knew that Hongguo was a little upset today, so he didn't point it out, but comforted her: "Changzong is busy recently, it's all because of Old Wei, who treats him like an iron man. You should go to sleep quickly and don't wait for his call."

Hongguo had no choice but to go to bed. It would be nice if she could meet Changzong in her dream, but she didn't dream of him tonight.

…

It was late at night, in a remote gambling house, Zhang Qingxiao, the banker, had two IOUs for two thousand yuan in his hand. His family owned a mine, so he had no shortage of money, but he liked other people's wives. Unmarried girls were shy and he had no interest in them, but he liked other people's wives just by looking at them. Which one should he go to tonight? How about drawing lots?

Zhang Qingxiao rolled up the two IOUs and threw them with his eyes closed. He would go to whichever house he caught. However, when he opened his eyes, he did not see the ball of paper. Instead, he saw an ugly, unfamiliar face in front of him. He did not recognize it at all, but it was very strong and punched him in the eye.

In the past, he was the one who beat people but had never been beaten. He didn't realize how painful it was to be punched. Before he could scream, a steamed bread was stuffed in his mouth. Then he was punched in the other eye, and he could no longer see clearly. The worst thing was that he was kicked hard in that place, and it hurt so much that he almost died. He felt that he would never be able to show his masculinity as he wished again.

This ugly guy had some grudge against him and wanted to kill him off. He swore that he would castrate this guy and sell off his entire family.

…

When Hongguo got up, Yushan was still sleeping, Lao Zheng was making breakfast, and some disguise things were burning in the stove.

Yu Shan must have gone out to do something and succeeded, otherwise he wouldn't have slept so soundly.

Hong Guo asked, "What time did he come back last night?"

Old Zheng put the remaining food into the stove and burned it all up: "It's past two o'clock, and the unloaded things are scattered around. What will he do without us?"

Hong Guo smiled and said, “If we’re not around, he’ll be careful.”

Yu Shan had just finished some work outside, so Hong Guo was a little worried, so after sending Diandian to kindergarten, she took a bus to the mine.

Sure enough, not long after the workers went down the mine and before lunch time, a group of thugs from Zhang Yaoqin's family arrived, holding a portrait of a stranger in their hands. They looked around for people to verify it, and insisted that all the miners underground come up.

Hong Guo slammed the table on the spot: "We are all locals who know each other well in the mine. The person in your portrait is not here. You know who your young master offended. You should find him where you should go. Don't come here to harass us. Do you really think we are easy to bully? If you want to fight head-on, then come and try."

The leading man was very capable. He had worked in Zhang Yaoqin's house for a long time and was still in a partner relationship with her. He was a bit ruthless, and Zhang Yaoqin also gave him some small power so that he could make some decisions.

Zhang Qingxiao was beaten last night and his eyes were so swollen that he could not see. After the swelling subsided, an art student was found to draw a portrait according to his description. Zhang Yaoqin was furious and was determined to find the person who beat him and the one who ordered him to do so. She searched all the way and finally found Jiang Hongguo's mine.

He knew that even if Gu Changzong was not there, Jiang Hongguo still had Lao Zheng and Yu Shan by her side, and he could not move. Moreover, what if Gu Changzong came back for revenge?

But you have to pretend to do it, otherwise you won’t be able to report back.

The leading man discussed with Jiang Hongguo: "Our Qing Xiao was beaten beyond recognition, even his offspring was injured. Let us look for him. If we can't find him, we will be cleared of suspicion."

Jiang Hongguo knew that these were the little devils below him, who were supposed to do what he was told, so he couldn't give in. If the little devils gave in, wouldn't the real boss be even more arrogant?

Jiang Hongguo asked back, "Are you doubting me? Zhang Yaoqin and I had a meal last night and we had a quarrel. Apart from that, there is nothing else. Unless you have secretly planned to deal with me, you came here to look for someone out of guilt."

"Brother, don't waste your time talking to her. There are so many of us. What can we do if we force our way in?"

"That's right. If we can't even do such a small thing that Boss Zhang asked us to do, then wouldn't our high salary be in vain?"

The man who was called big brother glared at his younger brother fiercely, saying that he was not afraid of anything. This was someone else's territory!

The man gritted his teeth and said, "Jiang Hongguo, I won't waste my time talking to you. If you don't let the absentee come up for inspection, we'll go down."

Jiang Hongguo stepped forward and said, "I'll just stand here and see who can get through. Do you dare to touch me?"

How could a man dare to do that? It was okay for him to fight with Gu Changzong and that guy named Lao Zheng, but as for Jiang Hongguo, haha, a man knows that if he touches her, he will probably be crippled.

You have to show off your power for a while, otherwise how can you get along in front of your younger brothers?

Chu Chengwu showed his strength and stared at Jiang Hongguo fiercely: "How dare you, a woman, stop us grown men?"

At this time, Lao Zheng had come up from the mine. He walked to Jiang Hongguo and said slowly, "Who said she is a human being and I am not?"

A few more miners came up one after another. Everyone in this area knew about the thugs hired by Zhang Yaoqin, but today with Boss Jiang standing in front, they gained courage. They lined up in a row, holding sticks and shovels, and the two sides confronted each other.

"Brother, although they have more people, we are all elite. Beat them."

"That's right. At most, it's just a fight. We'll catch them together. It's common for us. We'll take advantage. Big brother, you give the order."

The younger brothers under him started to make a fuss again. Chu Chengwu, who hadn't figured out a solution yet, was so angry that he almost vomited blood. If he didn't do something, he would have no explanation when he returned. He waved his hand and said, "Jiang Hongguo, unless you beat me to death today, I must go in and search."

Hong Guo satisfied his request, and took the stick from the absentee worker next to him and hit the dog on the head: "You are lynching and searching everywhere, disturbing public order, so what can I do if I hit you?"

Hongguo started to fight, and Lao Zheng, without saying a word, kicked the man who was covering his head several steps away. Several of the younger brothers who followed behind him fell down and cried out in pain.

"Our boss has been beaten, come on, brothers."

Chu Chengwu endured the severe pain in his head and stomach, slapped the yelling loser aside, and then shouted even louder: "Boss Zhang, I'm loyal, my intestines seem to be broken, please carry me to the hospital."

The younger brothers were smart. They knew that they couldn't win the fight today. They would only bully others by relying on their numbers if they could win. Why would they be beaten if they couldn't win? They quickly carried the boss who had given them the hint and left.

Jiang Hongguo cursed: "He's just a paper tiger. He only bullies those who are weaker than him."

Lao Zheng waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, go away and do what you need to do."

Is this the end? The miners looked at each other in bewilderment. The thugs, who were like living devils, ran away before the fight even started. This was different from what they had experienced before.

"Boss Jiang can tame them. It seems that as long as they are from our mine, we don't have to be afraid."

"Boss Gu used to mind her own business, but Boss Jiang is different. She doesn't like people messing with her. Don't be afraid of her in the future."

A co-worker next to Huaihua's father quietly suggested: "See, Boss Jiang is not afraid of Zhang Yaoqin and her son. If you get the chance, you must sue him. At least you don't have to pay the interest on that illegal loan."

If there was no interest, the principal would have been repaid long ago. Can Zhang Qingxiao, the lender, really be brought to justice this time?

…

Jiang Hongguo and Lao Zheng returned to the office to discuss what to do next.

Hong Guo asked, "Should we take the initiative to attack, or wait for Zhang Yaoqin to make the first move, and then fight back?"

Old Zheng said, "From what I've seen, Huaihua's father is still a little hesitant. I'll ask Xiao Zheng and Qu Lian to go to Huaihua's uncle's place and wait for him to sever ties with their family. This will cut off their last chance of retreat, and then they can make up their minds to sue."

As long as there is a plaintiff, a case can be filed. Hong Guo said: "Zhang Qingxiao can't hold it back. He will definitely continue gambling after he is discharged from the hospital. He always finds someone to take the blame, saying that he was taken to gamble and was not the organizer. This is very troublesome."

Lao Zheng laughed: "When the wall falls, everyone pushes it. He could find someone to blame before, but now that the momentum has fallen, others are not fools, and no one will take the blame for him anymore."

Hong Guo was also worried: "Zhang Yaoqin has a biological father as a backer. I want to find Chang Zong, but I'm afraid of disturbing him and delaying his work."

Lao Zheng: "Your business is his big business, hurry up and find him. If you are late, he will not dare to get angry with you, and will throw a tantrum with us, which is very annoying."

Hong Guo couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, then I'll call Chang Zong."

Gu Changzong was extremely happy when he received Hong Guo's call. Hong Guo finally remembered to look for him for something. After hanging up the phone, he and Wei Liangzheng asked for leave.

Lao Wei knew what he wanted to do, so he deliberately asked, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Changzong said seriously: "I've been busy for so many days, can't I take a few days off and rest?"

Old Wei didn't believe him, but he knew he couldn't stop him. It was really hard during this period, and it was Jiang Hongguo's business. Old Wei told Gu Changzong: "Okay, bring your ID. It will be more convenient if there is something, but don't do too much. I'll give you five days off. The vacation starts now. Get out of here quickly."

Gu Changzong was surprised at Lao Wei's generosity this time and smiled at him: "Lao Wei, you are becoming more and more humane."

Old Wei is funny and humane. Who is not a human being? However, Gu Changzong and his people, like the people here, are becoming more and more emotional, which is a good thing.

…

Zhang Yaoqin has sent people out to look for the murderer in the portrait. She believes that he will be found soon. After all, no one has the guts to cover up the murderer who beat her son.

Someone from the Zhang family came and visited Zhang Qingxiao, who was beaten into a pig's head, in the ward.

Zhang Yaoqin was already heartbroken, and she asked the visitor, "Uncle and aunt, you must give us an explanation about Qing Xiao's situation, otherwise there is no need for me to continue supporting the mine. I will take the money and move away with my son. I won't fight for power and profit anymore, and no one will protect me. I am worried."

The story behind the Zhang family's mine is very complicated, and Zhang Yaoqin is just an agent.

Her father is currently living with his third wife, and the uncle who came today is the brother of his third wife.

Zhang Yaoqin's mother, who was adopted as a child bride, was her first wife. She also had a second wife, who was an ordinary woman. They divorced after six months of marriage, and almost no one knew about it. His current wife is actually his third wife.

At first, she was shameless. In her biological father's family, except for her father, everyone else was annoyed with her. Fortunately, she was smart and told her stepmother's family that she could cooperate with her. She took the lead and opened a mine to make money.

She did all the dirty work, and most of the money she earned went to people who didn't have to pay anything.

My aunt, who came to withdraw cash, smiled and comforted me, "It's not a big deal. It's not worth getting angry about. It's just Jiang Hongguo. We will help you settle it. When the time comes, you can take over her two mines, and everything will be the same as if nothing happened."

Zhang Yaoqin couldn't believe it: "But, there are several powerful people around her, how can we deal with it?"

My cheap aunt smiled and said, "No matter how powerful they are, can they be as powerful as bullets? Accidents happen every day in this world. No one cares if there are a few more. I don't believe they are not afraid of this. Don't worry, we can handle it. Okay, we'll go back first. You wait for good news."

Zhang Yaoqin was overjoyed. Giving twice as much money this time was indeed useful.

She coaxed her son: "Just be quiet these few days. Once your uncle and aunt have settled everything, you can walk sideways in Yancheng again."

Zhang Qingxiao could not hold back and flew into a rage: "Where is that loser Chu Chengwu? Hasn't he been found yet? If he can't be found, I'll blame him. There are as many losers as you want. If you can't find him, don't come back to see me. I'll get someone to beat him to death."

Chu Chengwu had just finished his inspection and came over to report when he happened to hear these words outside the door. Although this scumbag had never killed anyone with his own hands, he had forced more than one person to death.

You say he is a waste, right? Well, he will be a waste this time.

Chu Chengwu endured the pain in his body and went to find Jiang Hongguo. He said bluntly: "Are you really going to deal with Zhang Yaoqin? I know she has a lot of illegal activities. I can steal the financial evidence. I know I will go to jail. If you promise to take care of my son before I get out, I will make up for my crime."

Hong Guo really didn't expect to have another helper, and nodded: "Even if you can't steal it, I will help you take care of your child. You have to catch the thief in the act. Next time Zhang Qingxiao gathers for gambling, please notify us in advance."

Chu Chengwu agreed immediately: "With a fellow like him, he won't be able to endure it for long. He will definitely sneak out of the hospital and wait for my news."

How could Zhang Qingxiao bear it any longer, so he asked a few younger brothers to make the arrangements. He had long had his eyes on a beautiful young wife and had been setting up the scheme for so long that if he hadn't been suddenly beaten up, he would have gotten her long ago.

The younger brother came back and said that everything had been arranged. Zhang Qingxiao was itching to get his hands on it, so he sneaked out of the hospital and saw that the man from his young wife's family was indeed there. Evil thoughts arose in his mind, but as soon as the chips were placed on the table, the police swooped down from the sky and arrested all the gamblers.

After Hongguo knew that Zhang Qingxiao was gambling, she struck while the iron was hot and immediately went to Huaihua's parents' house to persuade him. As long as her parents reported Zhang Qingxiao for illegal lending, he could add another charge.
