Staff members in Wu Zhuo's department were suspected of criminal collusion, withholding relief supplies on multiple occasions and transporting them to the black market for resale, with huge amounts of money involved.
Not only that, they also shielded each other, used their own connections and resources to bribe government officials and obtain improper benefits.
After receiving the news, the authorities immediately took action, directly detained Wu Zhuo and other relevant personnel, and launched an in-depth investigation into them.
When the news reached the Wu family, they were immediately panicked. They began to run around, looking for connections, asking for favors, and trying their best to mediate for Wu Zhuo.
Wu Jiali even went straight to Zhou Hong. She even ignored the danger and stood guard on the road next to the police station and stopped Zhou Hong's car.
Zhou Hong was driving and thinking about something when suddenly a figure flashed in front of him and his heart suddenly tightened.
Due to the snowy weather, the road was very slippery, and the snow on the street had not been completely cleared in time. He did not dare to step on the brakes easily, fearing that the vehicle would slip out of control.
So he nervously turned the steering wheel, trying to avoid the figure, but he still almost hit the green belt next to him.
After parking the car, Zhou Hong rolled down the window and found that the person blocking his car was Wu Jiali.
He asked in shock, "Wu Jiali, what are you doing? You dare to stop a car in this traffic situation. Are you going to die?"
Wu Jiali didn't care about that at all. She wiped her frosty face and said to Zhou Hong anxiously, "Zhou Hong, my niece is in trouble. Can you help me think of a way to rescue her?"
Zhou Hong thought for a moment, frowned and asked, "You mean... Wu Zhuo's 䛍?"
Wu Jiali nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and said, "Yes, it's Xiao Zhuo's daughter! Zhou Hong, I've known you for so many years, and I've never asked you for anything. This time, I beg you to help my niece!"
Zhou Hong shook his head when he heard this. He replied in a deep voice: "Wu Zhuo's incident this time has a huge impact. The official attitude is firm and must deal with this incident seriously. Wu Jiali, I can't help you, and I won't help you. You should go back and don't waste your energy."
Withholding disaster relief supplies and doing such a thing at this time, what is the difference between this and taking human life lightly?
Zhou Hong hated this kind of thing very much. He certainly would not help the Wu family. He didn't know why Wu Jiali came to him to plead for mercy.
Wu Jiali heard him say this and hurriedly said, "So many people were reported before and nothing happened, how come it happened to Xiao Zhuo? This is too unfair!...Besides, Xiao Zhuo was wrongly accused this time! She didn't participate in those material resale activities at all, she was framed by the unruly citizen who reported her!"
Zhou Hong was so angry that he almost laughed when he heard her words.
He pinched his brows and said impatiently, "There is now solid evidence in this case, and a notice will be issued soon. Stop quibbling."
Wu Jiali was stunned for a moment after hearing what he said, and then she quickly denied it, "No, no, no, that's not the case, Zhou Hong, listen to me... I asked Xiao Zhuo, and Xiao Zhuo said that she was just impulsive and wanted to take revenge on the girl who seduced Wu Yu, so she did something wrong."
"Xiao Zhuo only seized the batch of coal from the Du District! She really only did this one thing! The other buying and selling of materials really had nothing to do with her! Just ask the higher-ups to let her go!"
It's no wonder that Wu Jiali is anxious. Wu Zhuo is the only daughter of Wu Jiali's eldest brother, and the Wu family plans to rely on her marriage to Shen Zehuai to save the family from decline.
If Wu Zhuo showed up, then her engagement with the Shen family would naturally be over... By then, let alone the Shen family, most decent families would not want a daughter-in-law with a criminal record!
Facing Wu Jiali's plea, Zhou Hong just shook his head with a sullen face and replied: "I can't help you with this matter. You should go back and wait for the conclusion!"
Wu Jiali looked at Zhou Hong's cold and ruthless expression, and felt bitter in her heart. The cold wind mixed with snowflakes blew on her face, and she could no longer hold back and suddenly burst into tears.
Tears slid down her cheeks. She trembled slightly and said softly in a tearful voice: "Zhou Hong, you know how much I have thought about you over the years... Just do me a favor because I have always been infatuated with you..."
