With the surveillance video and the people he had hired found, Zhou Chuan confessed, admitting that he was the instigator of spreading rumors and smearing Zhou Chen's stinky tofu shop.
He even took the blame for colluding with Zhou Ling to fuel the flames.
But Uncle Hat is not one to tolerate falsehoods; he wouldn't easily believe Zhou Chuan's story, especially since Zhou Ling had already confessed everything.
Zhou Ling's role in this rumor must be subject to legal judgment.
Upon learning that she might face several months of detention, Zhou Ling was genuinely frightened and quickly offered to apologize to Zhou Chen in exchange for forgiveness.
She wants to see Zhou Chen.
I heard that Zhou Ling wants to see me.
When Zhou Chen received the call from Uncle Hat, he asked if he could skip the event. Uncle Hat replied that as a victim, he felt obligated to attend, but of course, he could refuse if he really didn't want to show his face.
"Then I refuse to see her!"
Zhou Chen said without hesitation.
Zhou Ling is now scared and wants to beg him not to pursue the matter. When she spread rumors, smeared him, and stirred up trouble behind his back, she never thought this day would come.
He will not give up the investigation.
It was you, Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan, who deliberately caused trouble, almost causing his business to collapse completely. If the interview program hadn't aired, there would have been no solution, and the county wouldn't have paid so much attention to it.
How dare he say he wants to see him? Does he really think he'll accept an apology?
If apologies were enough, what would be the point of Uncle Hat or the law?
Since a mistake has been made, punishment should be accepted.
Zhou Ling quickly learned that Zhou Chen refused to meet her, which left her at a loss for a moment. After a while, she came to her senses and was filled with resentment. How could Zhou Chen be so heartless as to want her to go to jail?
How could you, Zhou Chen, be so heartless?
No matter what, I, Zhou Ling, am the younger sister you watched grow up. Even if we're not blood-related, I've called you "big brother" so many times. What mistakes could I possibly make that are unforgivable?
Zhou Ling was furious at Zhou Chuan's cold-heartedness, but she forgot that what she did was even more indifferent and cruel than what Zhou Chen did.
Some people, even though they are covered in hair, insist on calling others monkeys.
Zhou Ling is that kind of person; she only sees and criticizes others, never paying attention to her own shortcomings.
Unable to see Zhou Chen, Zhou Ling was only angry, not desperate, because she knew that Zhao Kun would not abandon her. Knowing that she was in jail, Zhao Kun would definitely try his best to help her.
This time, Zhou Ling guessed correctly.
After witnessing Zhou Chuan's arrest, Zhao Kun was told by Uncle Hat that Zhou Ling was also a suspect, and as a family member of a suspect, he had the right to know about it.
I finally got a general idea of what Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan were doing by smearing Zhou Chen's business.
Zhao Kun knew that the two were deliberately retaliating against Zhou Chen, but unfortunately, he did not expect it to have such a big impact, attracting the attention of the county leaders, who wanted to deal with the matter seriously.
For Zhou Ling's sake, Zhao Kun had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask Brother Hu for help.
No matter what, Zhou Ling is carrying Zhao Kun's child, and he can't let her go to jail.
at the same time,
Back in her dorm, Zhou Na was sitting in the hallway.
Because her roommates talked about Zhou Ling's arrest without keeping it from her, she became very angry and had a big argument with several roommates, which made things very tense.
To avoid hearing her roommates' gossip, she took her books and left the dormitory.
Otherwise, she would get angry listening to her roommate's sarcastic remarks.
She never spread rumors or tried to smear Zhou Chen's business, so why is she being slandered? She doesn't believe it.
But others didn't believe it.
It was still early, and people passing by the dormitory building cast all sorts of strange glances at them.
Some people went too far, directly telling her that Zhou Ling had been arrested and that she was spreading rumors, deliberately trying to smear her.
Zhou Na bit her lip. After being subjected to more than one round of sarcastic remarks, she ran from the stairwell to the washroom and stayed there to read.
However, Zhou Na thought she would finally have some peace and quiet, but to her surprise, several girls came to do laundry together. When they saw her, they brought up Zhou Ling's arrest and brought up the rumors Zhou Ling had spread before.
The open discussions and loud laughter were like knives stabbing into Zhou Na's body.
This made her feel extremely wronged.
She did nothing wrong, it has nothing to do with her, so why drag her into this?
She wanted to explain, but she knew that even if she did, no one would believe her.
This made Zhou Na wonder if Zhou Chen felt the same way when her business was smeared and rumored, unable to express her grievances.
Zhou Na chose to escape again.
Away from the vortex of gossip, she took her books and fled from the water room to the dormitory building. She found a quiet spot with lights on and sat down to read.
Even when she couldn't concentrate, she forced herself to remind herself not to be defeated by life, but to be a giant in life.
As long as she gets into a good university and leaves Fanjia County, all the troubles will be gone.
This self-comfort made Zhou Na feel much better and gradually she got into the zone.
The news of Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan's arrests spread not only at the No. 1 High School, but also among some people in society.
For example, Sun Liancheng's secretary reported this matter.
When the county leaders came out to show their support, Sun Liancheng knew that the county attached great importance to this matter, and that it was only a matter of time before the murderer was caught. What he didn't expect was that the ungrateful brother and sister were the ones who sabotaged things behind the scenes.
But thinking about their previous actions, I instantly understood.
After all, even if an ungrateful person does something outrageous, it's all perfectly reasonable.
"I hope he can harden his heart and give his two ungrateful younger siblings a profound lesson."
"Constantly giving in and tolerating those who don't know how to be grateful will only bring more harm in return."
Thinking of Zhou Chen's kindness, yet he was repeatedly betrayed by three ungrateful people, even as an outsider, he couldn't stand it and didn't want to see Zhou Chen let Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan go.
Some people's selfishness is ingrained in their bones, and generosity cannot earn them gratitude.
Like a block of ice, it can never be warmed up. It would rather melt into water than become a hot block of ice. Anyone who tries to warm it up is crazy.
Zhou Chen, Li Kaile, and Xu Dalong ate at the small restaurant for more than two hours before finally parting ways.
Back home, Zhou Chen lay in bed and fell asleep early, sleeping soundly until dawn.
But some people are destined to have sleepless nights, or even insomnia.
That's how it was with Zhou Ling and her brother Zhou Chuan.
They had no idea what they were facing; their only hope was Zhao Kun.
They believed that Zhao Kun could rescue them.
However, as time went by, Zhao Kun failed to appear, making the two of them increasingly nervous and uneasy.
