Even if Aunt Huang can't say who arrested Huang Zheyue, the major and Zhou Mingli can now confirm who it was.
Besides those few companies, who else could it be?
The person who killed Huang Zheyue's father saw the jade seal pattern but made no move against Shan Shengshuo for a long time. The leaders also realized that Shan Shengshuo was probably the one who killed Huang Zhiyuan.
Once we take down Shan Shengshuo and Guo Zhen, everything will naturally become clear.
With his men in tow, Zhou Mingli followed the major into the car and began searching for Huang Zheyue's whereabouts.
Where was Huang Zheyue taken?
Zhou Mingli and the major were unaware that the investigation was being conducted location by location.
As time went by, they still hadn't seen Huang Zheyue, which made Zhou Mingli's expression somewhat solemn.
His only worry was that Guo Zhen was ruthless and, in order to take revenge, would kill Huang Zheyue after capturing people, leaving them no chance to react.
The second day of the meeting ended at 6 p.m.
When Guo Zhen returned home and saw that Shan Lian had prepared dinner, his brows relaxed a little.
"Why didn't you go to your maternal grandfather's house today?" Guo Zhen sat down, looked at the food Shan Lian had prepared, and asked her.
"This is my home too, can't I come back?" Shan Lian snorted and brought out the rice.
Chopsticks were handed to Guo Zhen, and Shan Lian pulled up a chair and sat down, starting to eat.
The father and daughter didn't say anything and ate their meal on their own.
After a long pause, Shan Lian, biting her chopsticks, looked at Guo Zhen and said, "Dad, you and Grandpa..."
Guo Zhen paused slightly as he placed his chopsticks down, then asked casually, "What?"
Shan Lian stared at him, then turned her head and said, "It's nothing."
"Anyway, all you adults know is how to be busy, busy, busy, it has nothing to do with me!"
Guo Zhen smiled and said after a while, "Xiao Lian, your grandfather has always prepared a visa for you to go abroad. If you want to study abroad, you can leave at any time."
Upon hearing this, Shan Lian suddenly stood up. "Why are you making me go abroad?"
She pursed her lips into a thin line and stared at Guo Zhen. "Dad, you were so dismissive when we talked about this before, why are you suddenly making me go abroad?"
Guo Zhen said, "You are very good at art. You should study abroad for a few more years. I was too naive before. I thought you were ready to work, but now... you should study for a few more years at your age."
Dan Lian's breathing became somewhat rapid.
Jiang Ci had said similar things to her before.
Guo Zhen said calmly, "Your English is very good. Even if you go abroad, you can live a normal life. Things are better abroad than in China. Dad has also left you money. You can live comfortably abroad..."
"I don't want it!"
Shan Lian interrupted Guo Zhen, "I'm not going abroad! I'm staying in Beijing, I'm not going anywhere else!"
After saying that, she turned around and went upstairs.
Guo Zhen had a headache and pinched the bridge of his nose.
Never mind, let her grandfather talk to her later.
Xiaolian can no longer stay in China.
The phone rang again.
Guo Zhen didn't eat anymore and got up to answer the phone.
After hearing what was said over there, Guo Zhen's expression became unpredictable.
He sneered, "They're a bunch of hyenas, chasing after us as soon as they smell us, like persistent ghosts."
The situation is still far from settled, yet they can't wait to start enjoying the fruits of their victory...
Guo Zhen was extremely unwilling, but the situation had already developed beyond his control. No matter how well he planned and strategized, he could only avenge himself before leaving the capital.
Guo Zhen hung up the phone and continued to plan his escape route from Beijing.
After an unknown amount of time, Guo Zhen was about to go back to wash up and rest when he passed by the window and saw a person standing outside.
He squinted and made out who the other person was.
Jiang Ci's lover, Zhou Mingli.
He actually came to his door late at night.
Guo Zhen subconsciously sensed a conspiracy.
The other person seemed to sense something, raised their head, and met his gaze through the window.
The farmer from the countryside looked at him with an indescribable sense of oppression.
There was even a hint of provocation in it.
Guo Zhen felt a slight anger, drew the curtains, and turned to leave.
After washing up, Guo Zhen changed into his pajamas and was about to go to sleep when he glanced out the window again.
They found Zhou Mingli still standing there.
Guo Zhen's expression was gloomy and uncertain.
This was Zhou Mingli's first time entering Guo Zhen's house, and perhaps the last.
Faced with Guo Zhen's anger and his oppressive gaze, Zhou Mingli showed no fear whatsoever.
He calmly chose the single sofa, sat down, leaned back slightly, and crossed his long legs.
That air of not caring about these things seemed to be innate.
Guo Zhen asked coldly, "What are you doing at my house?"
“You captured Huang Zheyue.” Zhou Mingli went straight to the point, raising his eyes slightly to look at him. “Release Huang Zheyue, and I will be your hostage.”
Hearing this, Guo Zhen laughed. "I don't understand what you're saying, and who do you think you are? Coming to my house to order me around?"
Zhou Mingli placed his hand on the armrest, ignoring his words, and said only, "Do you want to know when we started to suspect you?"
"What do you mean?"
Zhou Mingli's voice was naturally deep, like a cello, and he spoke slowly and deliberately, yet it sent chills down one's spine.
“Originally, we had nothing to do with you. We received a telegram from the Shanding Brigade saying that people from Beijing had injured them. We followed Liu Yinyin and found you.”
"Director Guo, what a powerful man, wielding so much authority, yet he almost got Jiang Ci fired with just a few words." Zhou Mingli chuckled. "I bet you never really took our family seriously in the first place, did you?"
"After all, we are new to Beijing and have no roots. We are like straw that can be blown down by the wind."
"So you've been driven to this point by us, and that's why you're trying every means to kill our family."
Guo Zhen looked at him coldly.
"Compared to hating Huang Zheyue, I think you must hate us more, right?"
"You came all this way just to tell me this?"
“It’s not just talk.” Zhou Mingli stood up. He was a bit taller than Guo Zhen. He looked around and said, “Your men are all around us. If I wanted to do something, I probably wouldn’t be able to.”
“But compared to you, I’m not afraid of anything.” Zhou Mingli smiled, but his handsome face was filled with cruel indifference. “The more you try to quietly prepare your escape route, the more I will drag you down.”
"Is your daughter sleeping upstairs right now?"
"If something happens to her, will you kill me and bury your daughter quietly, or will you make a huge fuss and seek justice for your daughter?"
Guo Zhen pointed at him, "You dare threaten me!"
Zhou Mingli's smile remained unchanged. "What do you mean by threat? I'm making a peaceful deal with you."
"Release Huang Zheyue, and I'll be your hostage."
