Chapter 131: Snitch
Hao Jia's hands were squeezed so hard that they hurt. He looked at Zhang Hanzhou in a daze, feeling that the other person seemed like a different person.
The gentle Zhang Hanzhou from before was gone, his mask was broken, his hair was disheveled, his eyes were dark, and he was looking at himself longingly.
"Duan, Duan Haixiang? Who is he?" Hao Jia didn't expect that the first thing Zhang Hanzhou would do was not to ask for help from his father Zhang Guangzhi.
Zhang Hanzhou was stunned for a moment before he realized that Hao Jia actually knew nothing about him.
Hao Jia didn't know that he was a fake, nor did she know about his complicated relationship with Duan Haixiang and the Zhang family.
Zhang Hanzhou's lips moved, and he lowered his head to avoid Hao Jia's gaze. "He is someone who can help me. I have something to ask him."
Zhang Hanzhou's intuition told him that the person who set up the trap between him and the president was Duan Huaijin, but he couldn't figure out how Duan Huaijin knew about the deal between him and the president.
They were obviously cautious enough, even the Chamber of Commerce didn't notice it, let alone an ordinary person like Duan Huaijin.
Unless Duan Huaijin and Yu Chucheng have climbed up to a new high ground and found a new backer after breaking up, and that backer's background is strong enough for him to successfully submit the letter of complaint with a green light all the way, otherwise the police will not send out any calls at all.
Ever since Lin Mei messed up his things time and again, Zhang Hanzhou gave up the idea of using her to monitor Duan Huaijin and instead changed his target to Duan Haixiang.
The first thing he did was to find Duan Haixiang, because he wanted to ask him about Duan Huaijin's recent news and find out which ship he had boarded.
Hao Jia looked at Zhang Hanzhou's ambiguous expression and drooped his eyelashes in disappointment. He was the first person to come to see Zhang Hanzhou after he fell into trouble, but the other party did not seem to trust him.
"Okay, I will help you. But when can you get out? Why do they lock you up if you haven't done anything wrong?" Hao Jia's voice trembled slightly.
Zhang Hanzhou swallowed and said, "Don't worry, the police will definitely not wrongly accuse a good person. I will definitely be able to get out soon."
As soon as the words fell.
The door of the room was opened from the outside.
Zhang Hanzhou thought the time for the meeting had come, and hurriedly gave Hao Jia a string of phone numbers.
The police knocked on the door and said, "Alright, stop talking. You can go now. Someone is waiting for you outside."
Zhang Hanzhou, who was still repeating the phone number to Hao Jia, got his voice stuck in his throat. His expression was blank for a second. When he looked at the police, his throat tightened. "What? I can leave now?"
The policeman said expressionlessly, "Yes, don't ask why, just go."
This was the message from above, and he could only do as he was told.
Hao Jia was stunned for a moment, then a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and his heart, which had been in his throat, finally calmed down a little.
Under the supervision of the policeman, Zhang Hanzhou and Hao Jia left the police station quietly without saying a word.
The sky outside was gloomy and a cold drizzle was falling. A black car was parked under a tree on the side of the road.
Zhang Hanzhou recognized that it was the Zhang family's car. Through the quarter-lowered window, he saw Zhang Guangzhi sitting in the car with his eyes closed waiting. His heart felt a little warm.
Sure enough, his father would not give up on him.
Hearing the footsteps approaching from afar, Zhang Guangzhi opened his eyes, and the moment he looked into Hao Jia's eyes, Hao Jia shuddered.
"Both of you get in the car." Zhang Guangzhi ordered in a cold voice.
Hao Jia sat in the passenger seat. Zhang Hanzhou had just gotten into the car, and without even taking off his wet coat, he hurriedly said to Zhang Guangzhi: "Father, this must have been reported by Duan Huaijin. I..."
“Bang!”
A crisp slapping sound was heard in the car.
The right half of Zhang Hanzhou's face was burning with pain. He covered his face and looked at his father, who had been like a savior just now, in disbelief, his eyes full of confusion.
Hao Jia shuddered and sat in the passenger seat trembling with fear. He had always been afraid of Zhang Hanzhou's father and suddenly regretted getting in the car with him.
Zhang Guangzhi shook his hands, exuding a cold aura, "You can't even handle such a small matter. If I don't come to rescue you, what are you going to do?"
Zhang Hanzhou was speechless.
He has socialized a lot over the years, but it seems that few of them can be used when it comes to crises.
"Useless thing." Zhang Guangzhi sneered, "I don't care who reported this matter, and I don't care whether it is true or false. Anyway, I will give you a week. You must settle it within a week, otherwise you will not be my son."
To Hao Jia, this sentence just meant that Zhang Guangzhi was angry with Zhang Hanzhou, but to Zhang Hanzhou, he heard another meaning.
Zhang Hanzhou suddenly remembered the last phone call Lin Mei made to him, telling him that Zhang Guangzhi had known his true life experience for a long time. He didn't believe it at the time and thought Lin Mei was ridiculous, but now he was stared at by Zhang Guangzhi's cold eyes, and his scalp suddenly tingled, and he felt that Zhang Guangzhi's words had a hidden meaning.
Zhang Guangzhi stopped there, "Driver, stop at the intersection ahead and let them get off. Take me to the factory."
The driver looked at the rearview mirror hesitantly. It was still raining outside and there was only one umbrella in the car, which was prepared for Zhang Guangzhi.
But he did not dare to disobey Zhang Guangzhi's order, so he had to stop by the roadside and drop the two people he had just picked up from the police station off the car.
Zhang Hanzhou stood on the side of the road in a daze. The rain felt like knives on his face. In fact, it was not very heavy, but it hurt when it hit his shoulder.
With trembling fingers, he dialed Lin Mei's number.
"Sorry, the number you dialed is turned off..."
Zhang Hanzhou couldn't bear it any longer and threw his phone to the ground.
Hao Jia's hair was also wet by the rain. He quickly stopped Zhang Hanzhou and said, "Calm down!"
Zhang Hanzhou had never been so embarrassed in front of others. He breathed heavily and clenched his teeth so hard that his jaw was shaking.
Why? He just wanted to keep his current status. Once he had experienced a luxurious life, who would want to live a hard life? Lin Mei was wrong. What was wrong with him?
Hao Jia wiped the rain off her face and asked, "What are you going to do now? What did you mean when you said that Duan Huaijin must have reported this matter?"
Isn’t Duan Huaijin the Alpha who was with Yu Chucheng before?
Zhang Hanzhou looked at Hao Jia who was left on the roadside in the rain with him, and clenched his fists with some guilt. "He was the one who made an anonymous report before. He is the only one who would make things difficult for me. My father only gave me a week, but I don't even know who is behind Duan Huaijin. How could he shake the president of the Chamber of Commerce by himself?"
Hao Jia's heart sank again.
From Zhang Hanzhou's words, he could tell that Zhang Hanzhou seemed to have really committed a crime, and Zhang Guangzhi only relied on his connections to get him out.
Zhang Hanzhou's eyes were bloodshot, as if he was extremely angry. "No matter what, I will make Duan Huaijin pay the price."
Hao Jia's hand, which was comforting him, hung in the air, and the cold rain slid down his hair. The uneasiness and hesitation in his eyes drifted with the cold wind.
His mood was worse than the weather, and his eyes were full of struggle, as if countless voices were fighting in his heart.
He finally found an Alpha who was so compatible with him. Not only did he have a good family background, but he was also interested in him. He didn't want to give up so easily, even if he made a mistake...
If he accompanies Zhang Hanzhou and waits for the storm to pass, will the other party trust him more, and will the Zhang family also recognize him?
Hao Jia finally made up his mind. He knew that once the arrow was shot, there was no turning back. Once he told the truth, he would have to follow Zhang Hanzhou to the end. But he wanted to take a gamble.
"Actually...actually Yu Chucheng should not have broken up with Duan Huaijin."
Hao Jia felt a pang of pain in her heart, and then she felt nervous as if she had been told about something.
"On New Year's Eve, you asked me to test Yu Chucheng's attitude. Although he said he didn't care, I saw him secretly leaving the venue with those troublemakers around eleven o'clock."
