Several days of constant fear had turned Zhou Chuan into a frightened bird.
Whenever I see Uncle Hat, I instinctively feel a chill, thinking that his rumor-spreading has been exposed and he's being arrested.
However, each time it turned out to be a false alarm.
He was scaring himself.
"Third sister, do you think Uncle Hat might come after me?"
With his brother-in-law Zhao Kun protecting him, Zhou Chuan took leave from work at the KTV and came to find Zhou Ling for psychological comfort.
If she was worried in the first few days, more than a week has passed and Zhou Ling has gradually relaxed. She feels there is no need to be afraid, and that they probably can't find her and Zhou Chuan.
The county leaders said they would catch the person spreading the rumors, but I guess it's all bark and no bite.
Moreover, she and Zhou Chuan did it quite discreetly, so there's a high probability they won't be exposed.
"Fourth brother, don't worry. The county has been silent for so long, so there must be no clues. In the end, it will just fizzle out. Even if they find out that it is related to us, don't forget your brother-in-law. He is no small figure now. As long as we ask Brother Hu for help, he can probably settle things with just one word and save us from jail."
Zhou Ling spoke calmly and composedly, without a trace of unease on her face.
These past few days, she learned from Zhao Kun about Brother Hu's strength and how formidable he was, both in terms of financial resources and connections.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Chuan belatedly realized what was happening.
He is Zhou Ling's younger brother. If anything happens to him, as her brother-in-law, Zhao Kun would definitely help, not just stand by and watch.
Zhao Kun can back him up, and the fact that Uncle Hat hasn't been able to find anything on his head for a long time means there's no evidence, so he really doesn't need to be afraid.
After figuring it out, Zhou Chuan felt much more relaxed and refreshed.
"Third sister, hearing you say that gives me some confidence. Once this storm passes, we'll figure out a way to make things difficult for him."
Zhou Chuan suddenly laughed.
Zhou Ling smiled but didn't respond. However, a sense of melancholy rose in her heart. It seemed that Zhou Chen's popularity wouldn't fade anytime soon. The city's TV station had been filming with Zhou Chen for a week, and he would be on TV in the future, bringing him even more attention.
In the short term, don't even think about causing trouble for Zhou Chen; it's likely to be counterproductive.
However, Zhou Ling didn't say these words aloud; she didn't want to discourage Zhou Chuan.
The siblings could only hope that Zhao Kun could use Brother Hu's influence to cause trouble for Zhou Chen, without even considering the possibility of him causing Zhou Chen any trouble.
If Brother Hu had intervened, Zhou Chen would have been in serious trouble.
at the same time,
Inside the police station,
All suspects who spread rumors and smeared the stinky tofu business were arrested and interrogated.
County leaders issued a strict order to bring the rumor-mongers to justice.
The entire bureau was almost entirely focused on this matter, compiling and investigating the interrogation information to ultimately extract the most useful data.
"Boss, based on the clues, we can initially identify Zhou Ling, Zhou Chuan, and a few others. But I think the two adopted sons and daughters of the Zhou family are the most likely culprits. They have a lot of grievances against Zhou Chen and have had several unpleasant encounters in the past, so they are taking revenge. Secondly, Zhou Ling did something similar not long ago."
“This Zhou Chuan was also detained for seven days for disturbing public order. He harbors resentment and has a motive for committing the crime. I suggest that we focus our investigation on these two people, especially reviewing the surveillance footage of the businesses near the night market. If we can confirm their identities, the evidence will be solid.”
After listening to his subordinates' report, the officer in the hat thought for a moment and then listed Zhou Chuan and Zhou Ling as key targets for investigation.
Afterwards, the news was relayed to the county leaders.
It was already late when we arrived in the city.
Li Kaile and Xu Dalong were arranged to rest in one room, while Zhou Chen had a room by himself.
Zhou Chen was greatly surprised to receive a call from the county leader at this time.
It wasn't until they heard that the suspects were Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan that they realized what was going on.
The county leaders asked him what he meant.
If the evidence is conclusive, should we pursue the matter to the end or give up? I want to know his opinion, after all, Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan are the adopted son and daughter of the Zhou family.
The fact that the county leaders asked him that question was truly a sign of respect.
He's just a nobody now, an ordinary high school student.
However, Zhou Chen's answer was simple: those who do bad things should not be let off the hook, even if they were once his relatives. Since they have broken the law and done wrong, they should pay the price they deserve.
If Zhou Ling and Zhou Chuan were indeed the ones spreading the rumors, then he could only say they deserved it.
He will not feel any pity.
In his past life, he felt sorry for those three ungrateful wretches, but what did he gain in the end? Nothing, only heartbreak. In this life, he will no longer consider the three of them and will only think of himself.
Since you've made a mistake, accept the punishment; there's nothing more to say.
Zhou Chen was in a particularly good mood. Now that Uncle Hat had found out about those two ingrates, he believed that it wouldn't be long before the evidence was conclusive. It was very likely that when he returned to Fanjia County from Fengcheng, he would hear the good news that the two had been arrested.
My phone vibrated.
Zhou Chen received a notification from the bank that the money had been deposited into his account.
Looking at the seven-figure bank balance, Zhou Chen's lips curled up. This was all the wealth he had accumulated since his rebirth, except for his stinky tofu business.
The initial two million shares of Tencent have earned him over ten thousand yuan in recent days. Adding the franchise fee of three hundred thousand yuan, his cash flow is about two and a half million yuan!
This amount of money is nothing to those super-rich people, but it is a huge sum of money for a high school student, especially since Zhou Chen earned it through his own hard work.
"I wonder how much of those two million will be enough to get us."
Zhou Chen thought about the purpose of his trip to Fengcheng and couldn't help but feel excited again, because this was another great opportunity to make money from money.
A few days ago, during a casual conversation with a reporter while he was being filmed by the city's television station, he suddenly remembered the construction of the new urban area in Fengcheng City.
In his previous life, although he had no achievements, he had heard about the construction of the new urban area of Fengcheng City, which made a group of people rich overnight, becoming demolition households and possessing millions of yuan in demolition compensation, completely rewriting the trajectory of their lives.
When the news reached Fanjia County, many people were envious and discussed it extensively. Even years later, it is still mentioned by people.
Now that Zhou Chen has been reborn and has this advantage of prophecy, how could he possibly miss it?
He had forgotten about it before because the memory was so distant, but now that he heard that the suburban bungalows were still untouched, how could he not be excited?
Therefore, on the day the filming ended, he immediately sold all his stocks and rushed to Fengcheng.
Get ready to seize this opportunity to get rich quick!
