Chapter 192 The message is coming
After Gu Yimin and Gu Erhui evaluated Han Zhengping in their minds, they considered the next two options and felt that the second one was suitable.
Although Zhu Yujiao had attacked them before, they didn't suffer any loss that time and beat up Zhu Yujiao and her accomplices. That matter was considered even.
We have no evidence now and cannot wrongly accuse them, so let's have someone monitor their house for a while and do whatever we want after we find evidence.
After the three sisters had discussed the matter, they went back to their rooms to rest.
Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju couldn't sleep lying in bed. Gu Jianguo told Wang Yueju what he guessed was done by the Zhu family.
Wang Yueju felt uncomfortable after hearing this. She leaned over and said to Gu Jianguo, "Now it seems that Zhang Zijun is indeed a good person, but who knows what he did in the past? Has he really changed now? Why does the Zhu family keep holding on to him?"
At this point, Wang Yueju sat up suddenly and said in a low voice: "Do you think Zhang Zijun and the girl from the Zhu family have..." slept together?
Otherwise, why is the Zhu family still brooding over it?
Gu Jianguo was annoyed by her words. He pulled her to lie down and said, "All your thoughts are just speculations. Don't tell Erhui. Erhui is not stupid. She can think of what you are thinking. She is getting along so well with Zhang Zijun now, which means that either she doesn't have it or she doesn't mind."
Wang Yueju lay down and sighed, "Why can't there be someone who is pleasing to the eye?"
"No one in the world is perfect, so you can't expect perfection in everything when choosing a son-in-law. Besides, our family is not without its flaws. Okay, as long as Zhang Zijun is a decent person and doesn't have any unacceptable habits, and as long as Erhui is satisfied with him, we won't say anything."
Gu Jianguo was clear-headed. Although he couldn't raise his four daughters as his own sons, he gave them the freedom a man should have, such as the freedom to choose their own spouse and what they wanted to do.
Wang Yueju sighed deeply. Gu Jianguo leaned over and patted her, saying, "Society has changed. In the past, people said that women were afraid of marrying the wrong man, as marrying the wrong man would ruin their lives. Now it's different. At least for our daughter, it's okay if she marries the wrong man. At worst, she can divorce and find another man. It's not a big deal."
"It's easy for you to say that. Wouldn't it be better if you could see the person clearly before getting married?" Wang Yueju glared at him.
"Yes, yes, yes," Gu Jianguo didn't argue with him, "I'm just saying in case. Don't worry, I will definitely help my four daughters to check."
Wang Yueju was satisfied, and the couple closed their eyes and fell asleep.
The next day, word of the Guangming Supermarket fire spread like wildfire. After all, it was the first place in Lizhou where people could buy things without a ticket, and most of the people in Lizhou were paying close attention.
As soon as Zhang Jingtong entered the office today, his secretary Li Yan whispered to him, "Guangming Supermarket caught fire last night. It's said the fire was massive, and there's very little left in the supermarket."
Zhang Jingtong was shocked when he heard this. He asked, "Is anyone hurt?"
Li Yan had investigated the matter beforehand and immediately replied, "No, I heard that the person watching the store last night was Comrade Gu Jianguo's nephew. He didn't live inside the supermarket, but in the yard behind it."
Zhang Jingtong felt relieved when he heard that no one was hurt. He then asked, "What did the police say?"
"The Dongcheng Police Station sent people there last night. The specific situation is still unclear. Do you want to ask Director Zhu of the police station to come and report the situation?" Li Yan asked again.
"Call and ask about the situation." Zhang Jingtong said.
"Okay." Li Yan said and went out. Zhang Jingtong wanted to call Zhang Zijun to tell him about this, but after thinking about it, he decided to talk about it after understanding the situation.
On this side, Li Yan dialed Zhu Qingjun's number.
Zhu Qingjun answered the phone and immediately sat up straight to speak to Zhang Jingtong's secretary. When Li Yan asked about the fire at Gu's supermarket, he was convinced again that Gu Jianguo was planning to marry into the Zhang family.
He had learned about the Guangming Supermarket fire as soon as he arrived at the police station today. He had just discussed the situation with Hu Youwei, so he answered Li Yan's questions very fluently. Finally, he made a summary:
"This incident was clearly intentional, but the victim has no suspects and the evidence is insufficient, so it's difficult for us to investigate. But we will definitely do our best to investigate this matter."
Li Yan just wanted to know the situation so that he could report it. He didn't ask any more questions. After hanging up the phone, he went to report to Zhang Jingtong.
Zhang Jingtong didn't say anything after hearing this, so he let Li Yan go out, then picked up the phone and called the Gu family. He thought that the Gu family must be in the supermarket now, so he called the supermarket, and it was Gu Erhui who answered the phone.
Gu Erhui was surprised to hear Zhang Jingtong's voice and greeted her with a smile. Zhang Jingtong was even more pleased with her because she didn't seem to be panicking or showing any negative emotions at this time.
"I just heard about the supermarket incident. What's the situation now?" Zhang Jingtong asked.
"My dad has hired some workers. They plan to clear out the burned items in the morning and start redecorating in the afternoon. We'll be able to reopen in three days at the earliest."
Zhang Jingtong hadn't expected the Gu family to act so quickly, wanting to reopen in three days. He nodded inwardly. He smiled and said, "If you need any help, tell me. I'll notify Zijun shortly."
"You don't have to tell him. He'll definitely come if he finds out. Kyoto is so far away, and the journey back and forth is tiring." Gu Erhui said, "His company over there has just started, so let him focus on his work."
If the Zhu family hadn't done it, it wouldn't have been helpful for Zhang Zijun to come. If the Zhu family had done it, he would have come anyway, at least to make some things clear.
Zhang Jingtong had no idea what Gu Erhui was thinking. He kept praising the girl for being sensible and also praised his son for finally doing something that made him feel good and finding a good partner.
The two of them hung up the phone, each with their own thoughts. Just then, Gu Jianguo came back. Gu Erhui told him about Zhang Jingtong's call, and then said, "Dad, I suspect the Zhu family did it. Do you suspect it too?"
Gu Jianguo hummed, and Gu Erhui continued, "Yesterday Zhengping made a suggestion, saying that Shi Dafa's people should keep an eye on the Zhu family. If they did it, they would definitely reveal some clues."
"Zhengping mentioned it?" Gu Jianguo asked in surprise.
"Yes, Zhengping is very smart." Not only is he smart, but he is also cruel.
Gu Jianguo had actually thought of this before, but he hadn't found the time to go find Shi Dafa yet. Now that the workers had arrived, he went to find Shi Dafa.
But just as he was about to leave, Shi Dafa arrived, leading a tall, thin, and scoundrel-looking man. Seeing Gu Jianguo, Shi Dafa said with a smile, "Boss Gu, I'm here to bring you a message. You have to treat me to a drink this time."
