Five police cars arrived.
Zhao Kun, Zhou Dana, and Wang Xiuhua were surrounded by a group of men in hats.
They were all immediately handcuffed and put into police cars.
During the journey, Uncle Hat began interrogating Zhao Kun, Zhou Dana, and Wang Xiuhua. They dared not hide anything and honestly confessed their experiences.
Unsure whether the three men were telling the truth or not, the men in hats immediately turned around and, following the clues they had provided, headed towards the dilapidated building where they had been trapped.
Just then, the person with mild carbon monoxide poisoning woke up, still in a dazed state.
They were all taken away by the hat-wearing uncles.
For those with more severe poisoning, they should be sent to the hospital immediately.
the next day,
Zhao Kun and his two companions were interrogated separately again. Upon learning that there were no casualties among those who had suffered carbon monoxide poisoning, the three breathed a sigh of relief, as their biggest fear had been that someone would die.
"However, one person suffered a concussion from a blow to the head."
Uncle Hat looked at Zhao Kun as he finished speaking.
Zhao Kun immediately lowered his head guiltily, because this was his masterpiece; the regional leader had suddenly woken up, and he had no choice but to do it.
"Although you are suspected of intentionally harming others, given that you are the victim, how to deal with you is still under discussion. For now, please cooperate with the investigation."
Upon hearing that they had to stay at the police station and couldn't leave, Zhou Dana and Wang Xiuhua looked bitter. "Sir, this matter actually has nothing to do with us. We didn't participate in his plan. He's the one who beat people up. We were just running after him."
"Once the investigation is complete, we will clear your name."
"Sir, may I call home to let them know I'm safe?"
Zhao Kun was annoyed that Zhou Dana immediately distanced himself from him, but he didn't care now because he wanted to know what was going on at home.
"You can make a phone call, but come with me in a bit."
Uncle Hat nodded, and Zhao Kun was delighted to hear this.
On the other end,
Zhou Ling was woken up by the phone call. Still half asleep, she answered and immediately woke up when she heard Zhao Kun's voice on the other end. "Brother Kun, is that really you? Brother Kun, we finally have news of you! I was so worried about you. Where are you?"
Zhao Kun didn't say he was at the police station, after all, being tricked into a pyramid scheme was a very shameful thing, so he told a lie.
After briefly letting him know he was safe, Zhao Kun hung up the phone.
Zhou Ling was wide awake, overjoyed. Her little Kun was indeed working hard for their little family. He had talked to someone for many days, and although he failed in the end, she felt that it was definitely not Zhao Kun's fault, but rather that the other party lacked vision and would definitely regret it later.
"Second sister, you're wrong. Brother Kun didn't disappear on purpose. He was talking business with someone, it just took a little longer."
Zhou Ling edited a text message and sent it to Zhou Na. Although she and Zhou Na had fallen out and hadn't been in contact for days, she remembered exactly what Zhou Na had said before.
She had to let Zhou Na know that her assessment of Zhao Kun was wrong.
Zhao Kun is not as bad as he seems; he is better than the vast majority of men.
After sending it to Zhou Na, Zhou Ling wanted to send it to more people, but after checking her contact history, she found that there was no one she could notify.
After thinking about it, she decided to tell the two women, Old Mrs. Zhao and the other woman, in the next room.
Grandma Zhao was woken up and was initially very annoyed. She scolded Zhou Ling for not respecting the elderly and caring for the young, and for not sleeping in the middle of the night. However, when she heard Zhao Kun call and say that he would be back soon, she immediately stopped scolding and pulled Zhou Ling aside to ask about Zhao Kun's situation.
"That brat, he went to do business with someone and didn't even let us know he was safe. We've been worried for so long."
"If we fail, we fail. We can just replace them."
After letting out a sigh of relief, Old Mrs. Zhao complained a few times, and then started saying harsh things again, attributing Zhao Kun's failure in negotiating the business to Zhou Ling, and bluntly saying that Zhou Ling was not a good wife.
Zhou Ling's eyes widened, her heart filled with anger and resentment.
She didn't want to pay any attention to Old Mrs. Zhao's unreasonable behavior. What did this have to do with her? She hadn't done anything, so how could she be blamed?
"We call you a jinx, and you won't admit it. Think about it, since you came to our family, has anything gone smoothly for us?"
"Besides you, what else could it be? The reason Xiao Kun didn't call back was probably because he was afraid of being affected by your bad luck. I didn't expect that he still couldn't escape it."
"Why is our Zhao family so unlucky? Other people's daughters-in-law can bring wealth to their husbands' families, but you didn't bring a single penny of dowry. Our family even had to contribute money, 300,000 yuan! You actually secretly gave it to your parents. They are shameless enough. After taking the money, they didn't contact us at all. Look at your family, what kind of people are you? The old ones are no good, and the young ones are no good either."
My son, Xiao Kun, is such an outstanding man. It's such a waste that he married you. He would be much better off marrying any other girl than you.
Calling you a jinx is an understatement; you're the embodiment of bad luck. Our family is doomed without you.
Faced with Old Mrs. Zhao's incessant chatter, Zhou Ling turned and left.
Back in her room, she pulled the covers over her head, not wanting to listen to Old Mrs. Zhao's complaints. She knew they wouldn't stop anytime soon.
She slapped herself. Why did she have to go and tell Grandma Zhao? She was just asking for trouble.
Hiding under the covers, Zhou Ling's eyes reddened with grievance.
Is it really her who caused the Zhao family's misfortune?
She didn't want to admit it, but upon careful reflection, she realized that Old Mrs. Zhao wasn't wrong. Ever since she got together with Zhao Kun, nothing had gone smoothly; one bad thing after another had happened.
"The root cause of all this is not me, but Zhou Chen."
"If only Zhou Chen had given me the dowry that was rightfully mine, I wouldn't have been gossiped about by that old woman."
"Zhou Chen, you've clearly made a lot of money in business, so why can't you give me what's rightfully mine?"
"You took my money to start your business, and now you're doing so well while I'm struggling. Don't you feel any remorse?"
Zhou Ling wiped her eyes and muttered angrily to herself.
...
My heart aches so much I can't breathe.
I can't find any trace of you.
I watched you with my own eyes.
But they were powerless to do anything about it.
Let you disappear to the ends of the earth...
Early in the morning, the school's loudspeakers played the old song "Starry Wish," which had been popular for several years, adding a unique flavor to the morning.
Zhou Chen was in a good mood. As soon as he arrived at school, Li Kaile and others pulled him to the playground to take pictures.
As a prominent figure in the entire school, Zhou Chen's role was undoubtedly that of a tool, always present and involved in every single card.
Hey there, classmate, your pectoral muscles are touching me.
Faced with the enthusiasm of female classmates from other classes, Zhou Chen was truly overwhelmed.
