Chapter 486: The Trap
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Zhang Zijun drove home to get his passbook to withdraw money. Wang Yueju was playing with Pangpang and asked what was wrong when she saw him come back. Zhang Zijun told Wang Yueju about Zhang Ziyao's divorce, and she didn't know what to say.
How could there be such a family? They divorced right after the incident. Who would dare to marry his daughter in the future?
Zhang Zijun took the passbook, went to the bank to withdraw 10,000 yuan and gave it to Tang Wei, and then the family of three turned around and left.
Zhang Zijun looked at the family's backs and said to Zhang Ziyao, "Second brother, this is a blessing in disguise for you."
Isn't this a blessing in disguise? I couldn't get a divorce before, but now I can get one without any effort.
Zhang Ziyao hummed, opened the car door and got in. Zhang Zijun also got in the car, "Xia Ying told me yesterday that his grandfather asked us to cooperate with the investigation and wait."
Zhang Ziyao was a little envious of Zhang Zijun. He was so lucky. If something went wrong, there would be so many people around to help him!
"I know." Zhang Ziyao said, "Just behave yourself for the time being. And your cousin Meng Qianjin, ask him to behave himself as well. If you can stay at home, then don't go out."
When he said this, Zhang Zijun became even more nervous. "Is it a big deal?"
Zhang Ziyao lit a cigarette, took a puff and said, "It's hard to say."
"Second brother, we have to find a way to save my dad and uncle!" Zhang Zijun leaned sideways, looking anxious.
He now really hated himself for being so ignorant. If he was like Ye Chi and his second brother, he wouldn't be so helpless now.
"I know, just take care of yourself."
Zhang Zijun wanted to ask, "You know, but what are you going to do?" But Zhang Ziyao looked unwilling to say more, so he didn't ask.
Although he didn't understand political matters, he grew up in a political family after all, and he knew that there were some things that even the closest people couldn't tell.
After sending Zhang Ziyao home, Zhang Zijun drove back to his company and calmed down to deal with the company's affairs. To put it bluntly, he was not strong enough. If he was more capable, he would not be so passive now.
Waiting is the most agonizing thing. Zhang Jinglin and Zhang Jingtong have been under investigation and haven't seen their families once. At first, everyone was anxious, but gradually, this anxiety became the norm and we got used to it.
However, Zhang Zijun worked much harder than before, and Gu Erhui felt both distressed and relieved.
For the next period of time, Kyoto was in turmoil. After Zhang Jinglin and Zhang Jingtong were investigated, several other senior officials were investigated, and many people also divorced.
After Wang Yueju heard about this, she started nagging at home, "I think arranged marriages are the least stable. Look, they end up getting divorced at the slightest setback."
"What solidifies a marriage is the interests." Gu Siqing said.
Wang Yueju: "How can a couple live together if they always focus on profit?"
Gu Siqing spread her hands.
Two months passed in the blink of an eye. One day, the family was having dinner when there was a knock on the door. Gu Siqing went to open it and saw a tall and elegant figure standing at the door. She took a closer look and said in surprise, "Uncle Zhang?"
Zhang Jingtong laughed, "Xiao Si, don't you recognize me?"
"Meet me," Gu Siqing shouted hurriedly, "Brother Jun, Second Sister, look who's here."
Everyone in the restaurant heard her voice and headed out. When they saw the person in the yard, they were all surprised. Fat little Zhang ran over with his arms outstretched, shouting, "Grandpa, Grandpa!"
Zhang Jingtong smiled and bent down to pick him up, saying, "Has Pangpang gained weight again?"
Fatty Zhang nodded and said, "Eat some meat."
Zhang Jingtong laughed again, and Gu Jianguo quickly said, "Come in and sit down. Have you eaten yet?"
"Not yet." Zhang Jingtong carried Pangpang and followed Gu Jianguo into the restaurant. His secretary was standing outside the door. Zhang Zijun saw this and patted his shoulder. "Secretary Tan, you haven't eaten yet, right? Come and eat with us."
Secretary Tan followed him into the restaurant, and everyone had a lively meal together. Seeing that Zhang Jingtong came with his secretary, he thought that everything should be fine.
After dinner, Zhang Jingtong asked Secretary Tan to drive home while he stayed at Gu's house to talk for a while. Everyone moved to the main hall, and Zhang Zijun asked, "Dad, are you okay?"
Zhang Jingtong smiled and said, "It's okay now. Everything is the same as before."
Everyone felt relieved when he said that. Zhang Jingtong sincerely thanked Gu Jianguo: "Thank you for taking care of Zijun and the others during this period."
Gu Jianguo quickly waved his hands, "We are all family, there is no need to take care of each other."
"Yes, we are all family." Zhang Jingtong smiled.
Only when things really get tough can you see who you can befriend and who you can't. He found a great daughter-in-law.
After everyone talked for a while, Zhang Jingtong said he was leaving. Gu Erhui and Zhang Zijun quickly packed up and followed him back. Watching the car drive away, Gu Jianguo laughed and said, "I can sleep well today."
Wang Yueju also laughed. They had been worried for the past two months.
Here, Zhang Zijun and his family returned home. Pangpang fell asleep, and Gu Erhui carried him upstairs. Zhang Jingtong called Zhang Zijun to the study, sat him down, and said, "You must have been scared recently, right?"
Zhang Zijun poured two cups of tea politely, then sat down opposite him. "I was quite scared at first, but later I got used to it."
Zhang Jingtong was pleased to see his son had calmed down a lot. He said, "It's just a political game. This plan was made before the New Year."
Zhang Zijun was shocked, "Is this a trap you set?"
"You could say that," Zhang Jingtong said, taking a sip of tea. "But the censorship is real."
The reason why I dare to use myself as an instigator is that I believe I am clean enough and the other party cannot find out anything.
"So, you should always look three steps ahead when doing anything." Seeing that his son had matured a lot, Zhang Jingtong began to teach him patiently. Who doesn't want their child to be successful?
The father and son chatted in the study for a long time, and Zhang Zijun went upstairs in a daze. Gu Erhui was still waiting for him. Seeing that he looked out of sorts, she asked worriedly, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong again?"
"No, no," Zhang Zijun said quickly. Then he sat on the edge of the bed, buried his head in Gu Erhui's arms and said, "I feel like my brain isn't working well enough."
Gu Erhui chuckled, touched his stiff hair and asked, "Why do you say that?"
Zhang Zijun sighed, "Dad and uncle had planned this a long time ago."
"Huh?" Gu Erhui was also surprised: "Who knew about this beforehand?"
Zhang Zijun said in a muffled voice: "My eldest brother and second brother, I guess your grandfather also knows."
