Chapter 130 Clearing the Obstacles
Yu Chucheng and Lin Qi just came out of Yu Jingchen's office. "I also found evidence of Zhang Guangzhi's factory. After verification, this factory has only cooperated with the Zhang family since two years ago."
Duan Huaijin heard other people's voices from Yu Chucheng's side, "Nothing unexpected happened, right?"
Yu Chucheng paused for a moment and said, "No, it went quite smoothly."
He and Duan Huaijin had discussed what would happen tonight.
Duan Huaijin knew that Yu Chucheng wanted to investigate Zhang Guangzhi's factory, but even if he found evidence and submitted it to the Chamber of Commerce's inspection team, it would most likely be suppressed by the people above, so he had to find a way to create some chaos and eliminate the Zhang family's backers in the Chamber of Commerce.
While Yu Chucheng went to look for evidence, Duan Huaijin found an opportunity to bring Zhang Hanzhou and the president of the Chamber of Commerce together and take them down in one fell swoop, clearing the way for a thorough investigation of Zhang Guangzhi in the future.
"My brother also knows what happened tonight. He said he would help us follow up with the Chamber of Commerce inspection team." Yu Chucheng pushed open the door to the terrace and walked outside.
Yu Group is a twin tower, one of the landmark buildings in Kyoto, with a long skywalk in the middle.
Yu Chucheng stood at the edge of the corridor, looking at the street lights in Kyoto that twinkled like stars. The traffic under his feet was like flowing light bands, passing through the high-rise buildings on both sides.
He listened to Duan Huaijin's steady and even breathing on the other end of the phone, pondered for a long time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Duan Huaijin, how did you know that Zhang Hanzhou bribed the president of the Chamber of Commerce? Did you hear it from others?"
He actually had a vague guess in his mind, but the answer was a bit absurd, like a layer of gauze. It was right in front of him, but he didn't dare to touch it. He couldn't tell whether he was expecting or worried.
Duan Huaijin on the other end of the phone was silent for a long time.
It lasted so long that Yu Chucheng almost thought he had accidentally hung up the phone.
Duan Huaijin said in a hoarse voice, "Cheng Cheng, can we wait until this is over before we talk about this? I will explain it to you clearly, but I haven't figured out how to start yet."
He knew about Zhang Hanzhou's bribery in his previous life, but he didn't report it at that time, or he thought that just reporting it was too light a way of revenge. He used some unfair means of coercion and inducement at that time. He couldn't remember how many people he had tripped up and brought down.
But in this life, everything has been accelerated, and he doesn't want to be covered in stains like in his previous life, so he came up with this method.
Yu Chucheng suddenly laughed softly, "Okay, I'll wait. But after all this is over, I want to realize my wish first."
Duan Huaijin's anxiety was soothed by this laugh. His whole heart was moved. He asked softly, "What is your wish?"
Yu Chucheng pursed his lips. It was one thing to think about it in his mind, and another to say it out loud.
He unconsciously reached out and touched his neck, lowered his voice, and spoke quickly into the phone.
Duan Huaijin suddenly clenched his phone, "Okay, now that you've said it, you can't regret it."
Yu Chucheng coughed lightly, and his ears turned red. "I won't regret it..."

It was almost midnight in the club, but Zhang Hanzhou still hadn't returned.
Originally, Zhang Hanzhou said he would pay for all the drinks tonight, but he went to the bathroom halfway through the party and didn't come back after waiting for a long time. The friends in the private room went to look for him but couldn't find him. Later they heard from the waiter that he had left.
"Isn't it because you regret not wanting to pay for it?"
"No way, why don't we wait and see, maybe he left for some urgent matter?"
"Then why doesn't he even reply to messages?"
Hao Jia sat aside with his head down, staring at his phone nervously. This was the first time he met Zhang Hanzhou's friends. It was fine with Zhang Hanzhou around, but now he was sitting alone among this group of people, like an alien.
Soon, someone pointed the finger at him, "You have a very close relationship with him, why don't you give him a call and ask if he is coming? If not, we can pay and leave."
Hao Jia was frightened by the unfriendly tone and dialed Zhang Hanzhou's WeChat number with red eyes.
Everyone was silent, waiting for the result of his call. Hao Jia felt very uncomfortable being stared at by people all around him, and even the hand holding the phone was shaking slightly.
The WeChat ringtone rang for a long time, but no one answered it.
"Damn... What bad luck." Someone cursed and stood up first. The others also stood up unhappily, picked up their clothes and prepared to leave.
Just then—
"Holy crap! Look, this guy is Zhang Hanzhou, right?" A boy in the crowd stared at his phone in disbelief. "Why is he in the police station?"
"What, what? Let me see."
"What's going on? Has he been arrested?"
"It's really him..."
The boy was squeezed by so many heads that he was short of oxygen. He quickly pushed the people next to him away and said, "This was sent to me by a relative who works at the police station. I'll post it in the group so you don't have to crowd in here."
Hao Jia didn’t have their group, so he could only watch cautiously from the side.
In the photo, Zhang Hanzhou was sitting in the interrogation room in an awkward manner. Two policemen were sitting in front of him, one was taking notes and the other was questioning him. The cold temperature of the chairs seemed to penetrate the screen, and Hao Jia's heart seemed to freeze.
What on earth is going on? !
“By the way, don’t spread it around! This is a sneak shot and is against the rules!” the boy who posted the photo added hastily.
But there is no wall that is impenetrable.
In just one night, the news that Zhang Hanzhou and the Chamber of Commerce president were summoned for questioning spread throughout the entire upper class circle of Kyoto. Not only was the Chamber of Commerce president's home thoroughly investigated by the police, but the police also came to Zhang's home.
Zhang Guangzhi sat in the study, his arms resting on the table, his hands clasped together with his thumbs against his forehead, his head splitting with pain from the sudden change.
He had been interrogated no less than three times this morning, and even Zhang Wan was questioned by the police.
Zhang Guangzhi pinched his fingers with a look of surprise. If the police hadn't been there, he would have been so angry that he would have smashed things in the study.
Zhang Hanzhou is a loser who is a traitor and has never had much brains since he was a child. Under his strict control, Zhang Hanzhou would never have the money to save so many gold bars to give to others. He must have stolen oil from the project funds.
Zhang Guangzhi gritted his teeth and said nothing, his knuckles turned white.
If he had known earlier, he should not have killed Lin Mei. If the police investigated further and it involved Zhang Hanzhou's background, he could still put all the blame on Lin Mei.
There was an unremovable gloom between Zhang Guangzhi's brows.
But besides Lin Mei, isn't there also Duan Haixiang? It seems that it is not impossible to use Duan Haixiang as a scapegoat.
Zhang Hanzhou was temporarily detained in a separate room. He leaned against the wall without eating or drinking, and always insisted that he had not given any bribes and that everything was slander.
There were footsteps in the corridor and a policeman opened his door.
Zhang Hanzhou didn't even look at it, his expression was dejected, "I have nothing to say, no matter how many questions you ask, the result will be the same."
The policeman said coldly: "Someone outside wants to see you. He only has five minutes. If you don't go, I will let him leave."
Zhang Hanzhou raised his head abruptly. "What did you say?" He struggled to stand up and rushed to the door. "I'll go, let me go!"
His cell phone was not with him and he had no way of contacting the outside world. He was worried that he would not be able to find an opportunity to ask others for help.
The policeman pulled him, "Be quiet! Just follow me."
Zhang Hanzhou staggered behind the police.
The police took him to an empty room. Since Zhang Hanzhou had not been convicted yet, the guard was not very strict.
Zhang Hanzhou was stunned when he saw the people in the room, "Hao Jia, it's you..."
He never thought that the first person to come to see him would be Hao Jia.
The corners of Hao Jia's eyes trembled noticeably. He didn't understand why he came here. Maybe he still had hope in his heart that all this was fake.
He bet on Zhang Hanzhou among all his suitors. If Zhang Hanzhou really committed a crime, the life he had imagined would be shattered.
"I……"
As soon as Hao Jia's lips moved, Zhang Hanzhou grabbed his hand like a life-saving straw, "Hao Jia, can you help me contact someone? His name is Duan Haixiang. I'll give you his number. Ask him to come see me."
