Chapter 2 Contacting the Gu Family to Send Zheng Jiayu Away
Zheng Jiayu suddenly looked up at Captain Xiang: "Uncle Xiang, what did you say?"
“We asked the police to help investigate this matter over the past few days, and we finally found that the car had been tampered with, which led to the accident on the road.”
"Not only that, your parents' belongings were rummaged through in the research institute." Captain Xiang and Zheng Jiayu's father were best friends, and the two trusted each other the most.
Captain Xiang knew very well the order in which Zheng Jiayu's parents had put their things, but when he went back yesterday to take stock of their belongings, all the marked documents had been rummaged through and messed up.
Zheng Jiayu suddenly thought of Li Zonglin: "Uncle Xiang, is there something wrong with this Li Zonglin?"
He nodded solemnly to the captain.
They hadn't initially suspected Li Zonglin, but something seemed off about Li Zonglin's family today.
“The Li family is very likely to be scoundrels. If that’s the case, you’re in danger.” They’re usually at the research institute and can’t protect Zheng Jiayu all the time.
After a moment's hesitation, Captain Xiang said to Zheng Jiayu, "Jiayu, for your safety, I have two options for you."
“First, we will send you to a completely safe research institute. It is isolated from the world and the conditions are harsh. Although it is safe, you will lose your freedom. Second, we will help you contact the Gu family and have them fulfill your marriage agreement with their grandson.” When Captain Xiang presented these two options, he was filled with guilt towards the Zheng family.
If the research institute hadn't already been targeted, he wouldn't have wanted to send Zheng Jiayu away.
Zheng Jiayu lowered her head, thought seriously for a moment, then looked up and said, "I'll go find the Gu family."
Although going to other research institutes saved her life, she couldn't investigate the cause of her parents' deaths, and she didn't want to be protected in a turtle shell.
She wanted to avenge her parents' wrongful deaths.
Captain Xiang felt a pang of sadness and handed the envelope to Zheng Jiayu: "Here is two thousand yuan, compensation from the research institute. As for your parents' matter, we will continue to investigate."
Zheng Jiayu held the envelope given to her by Captain Xiang and looked up at him: "Uncle Xiang, what do they want?"
"I don't know either. I only heard from your parents that if their research is successful, it will bring great benefits."
Zheng Jiayu clutched her clothes, realizing that's how it was.
"Jiayu, take your valuables and leave with us. As for your family, I'll have someone stay here." Captain Xiang knew that the Li family wouldn't let things go so easily now that their intentions had been exposed.
Zheng Jiayu didn't say much, turned around and went back to her room to pack the valuables in a box, then left with Captain Xiang and the others.
Li Zonglin, who had been hiding downstairs, watched Zheng Jiayu leave with Captain Xiang and the others carrying her suitcase, and then punched the wall.
"That damn Xiang guy, how dare he ruin my plans."
As Zheng Jiayu was leaving the car, she saw Li Zonglin hiding in a corner with a resentful look on his face: "Uncle Xiang, you don't need to send anyone over. Li Zonglin is spying on us from there."
Xiang turned to look at the captain and immediately saw Li Zonglin standing there, sneaking around and peeking.
"It's good that you left with us, otherwise Li Zonglin would definitely have made a comeback."
Back at Captain Xiang's house, Captain Xiang took the phone and called Grandpa Gu.
While playing chess with an old friend, Mr. Gu heard the phone ring and asked the guard next to him to answer it.
The guard answered the phone but did not hang up immediately. Instead, he said to the old man, "Old man, it's a call from Sichuan. They say the Zheng family only has one orphan girl left."
The chess piece in Old Master Gu's hand fell onto the chessboard. He quickly stood up and answered the phone: "This is Gu Zhanshan. Who are you?"
"Hello, old leader, I am a good friend of Jia Yu's parents. They passed away unexpectedly three days ago, leaving behind only their daughter." Captain Xiang told Grandpa Gu about Zheng Jia Yu's current situation.
"Old leader, it's no longer safe for us here. I'm calling to ask if the marriage agreement between your two families is still valid? Your Gu family might be able to provide Jiayu with a safe haven and protect her."
Grandpa Gu never expected that such a traitor would appear in the research institute.
"I'll give you an address. Have Jiayu take the marriage certificate to my grandson, Gu Yunting."
Captain Xiang quickly wrote down the address, then spoke a few more words with Grandpa Gu before hanging up.
On the other end, after hanging up the phone, Grandpa Gu called his grandson, Gu Yunting.
When Gu Yunting heard his boss say that his grandfather had called him, he quickly shook off the people who were bothering him and went to his boss's office to answer the phone.
"Grandpa, what brings you to call me today? What happened?"
"Yunting, do you still remember the younger sister from your Grandpa Zheng's family?"
Gu Yunting was taken aback at first, then asked hesitantly, "Is it the fiancée you arranged for me?"
“That’s right. Her parents were killed by a traitor three days ago. Now she is in great danger and needs our help. You must marry her and use everything the Gu family has to protect her and save her life.” Old Master Gu solemnly told Gu Yunting about Zheng Jiayu’s situation.
"Yes, Grandpa."
From Old Master Gu's words, Gu Yunting learned about Zheng Jiayu and the situation of her deceased parents.
Since those people have reached out to the Zheng couple, they certainly won't let Zheng Jiayu off the hook.
It is indeed safer to be around him.
Besides, isn't there someone here harassing him?
If her real fiancée arrives and she can still chase after her, it would become a complete joke.
Thinking this, Gu Yunting said to Grandpa Gu, "Grandpa, could you ask her when she'll arrive? I'll go to the station to pick her up."
"No, you go pick her up yourself. I don't trust any of the people over there now." Originally, Grandpa Gu was thinking of having Captain Xiang's people take Zheng Jiayu to Gu Yunting.
But the situation there made Grandpa Gu uneasy.
"Give the phone to your supervisor, and I'll have him approve your leave."
Gu Yunting handed the phone to the leader standing next to him, who then took the call.
He started speaking with a smile, but quickly became serious: "I guarantee to complete the mission."
After hanging up the phone, the leader looked at Gu Yunting and said, "Yunting, take two people with you."
"yes."
While Gu Yunting was selecting people, Old Master Gu contacted Captain Xiang.
After hanging up the phone with the captain, Xiang said happily to Zheng Jiayu beside him, "Jiayu, the Gu family will send Gu Yunting to pick you up."
Zheng Jiayu waved her hand: "Uncle Xiang, I can go by myself, no need to trouble him."
"Jiayu, this is not a problem, it's a guarantee for your safety."
It's not safe here anymore. The best option is to have Gu Yunting, a soldier, bring people to pick up Zheng Jiayu.
"You will stay at my house until Gu Yunting arrives, and you are not allowed to go anywhere else."
Zheng Jiayu's rebuttal was ineffective, so she had no choice but to stay at the Xiang family's house.
Three days later, three strangers appeared at the Xiang family's door.
