Chapter 166 Your Excellency’s Visit
"I'll go with you, at least... to make everything clear." Huo Jinzhi also hoped to be treated leniently within the scope of what can be negotiated.
If Wang Jiazhen is suspected of reselling goods from the steel plant, then this matter will never be resolved peacefully.
The next day, Chen Zhuyi went there with Huo Jinzhi, and the intense anxiety in her eyes had not yet dissipated.
Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang were in pretty good spirits, but it was obvious that they were forcing themselves to stay awake.
"After my dad passed away, it was Uncle Wang and Aunt Wang who took care of me. In my heart, you are already my parents."
Chen Zhuyi did not directly mention their speculation, but simply expressed his true thoughts sincerely.
Rather than doubts and concerns, the only thing that can make these old couple open their hearts is emotion.
"If my parents were in a situation like this, I would find a way to help them no matter the cost. I believe... you would do the same."
As Chen Zhu spoke, he just lowered his eyelids, and looked a little sad, as if he had been worried for a long time.
Uncle Wang looked at his wife again. Both of them were biting their lips, but it was obvious that they were on the verge of speaking.
"I don't know what happened this time, but I think I will stay and stand with you through thick and thin."
"Even if you don't want to tell me what happened, I will do my best to get to the bottom of it. If I can't solve it, then I will bear all the consequences with you."
As a family, we should advance and retreat together.
Chen Zhu was prepared when he said these words.
"Nonsense, you have such a bright future, how can you be so confused about these things?" Uncle Wang interrupted Chen Zhuyi directly, with a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
But all I could see was stubbornness in this girl's eyes.
Huo Jinzhi also patted Chen Zhuyi's shoulder soothingly. Then he continued to persuade him: "Uncle Wang, if you explain it clearly, maybe we can come up with a solution together."
With a serious tone, he finally broke through the last line of defense in Uncle Wang's heart. He raised his hand and scratched his head.
"Your aunt felt that there was not much money left at home, so she took the initiative to sell some eggs and other unnecessary items."
"If you want to make money, then of course it's more convenient to go through the black market. Who knows, this back and forth has caused some rumors, and the higher-ups are still investigating. To be honest, I have no idea what's going on."
Uncle Wang sighed again, revealing a bit of vulnerability in front of these children.
More than being unsure, he was also filled with unconcealable panic.
I just don’t know if the other children who have already been assigned jobs by him will be implicated!
"Since we're just selling some daily necessities, there's no doubt we'll be fine," Huo Jinzhi agreed softly, his words carrying a hint of seriousness and a hint of promise.
His resolute face gives people an extremely reliable feeling.
Even Uncle Wang couldn't help but scrutinize the young man at this moment. He didn't ask too much about Huo Jinzhi's background, but he could figure out with his toes that a person with the surname Huo and such confidence must not be an ordinary person.
Right now, Uncle Wang is even a little worried about the issue of whether they are a good match.
Huo Jinzhi may not care, but can the people of the Huo family accept everything about Chen Zhuyi?
This promising young man might be able to climb to a higher position than his family members in the future, but they can provide too little help to Chen Zhuyi.
Even now, it has caused a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, Uncle Wang's eyes even showed a hint of embarrassment and awkwardness.
"I'll inquire about the situation. After all the checks from above, you'll definitely be released safely. But... have you found any clues about the people who are maliciously spreading rumors about you?"
Rather than getting Uncle Wang and his family out of prison, Huo Jinzhi was more worried about whether these two people could find the real murderer.
"Lao Wang has always been law-abiding at the steel mill over the years. He has done his job very well and never interfered in matters he shouldn't have. He is kind to others and doesn't make enemies."
When Aunt Wang heard this, she frowned and expressed her thoughts thoughtfully.
Their family has hardly ever had any enemies with anyone, so it's really hard to find them.
As for Chen Zhuyi, she thought of the possible target of the action. Her lips were pressed into a line, and there was a hint of sadness in her tone: "Could it be those people from the Zhao family?"
"Impossible." Uncle Wang waved his hand and denied her idea without thinking.
A thoughtful girl like Chen Zhuyi would probably be stuck in self-blame and unable to get out!
"Except for them, no one else would use such despicable means. Uncle Wang, I know this family of evil people better than you." Chen Zhuyi said, taking a deep breath.
She didn't want to get entangled too much and had already let them go once.
But whether it is Zhao Anche or Chen Wantang, they are the type who are shameless even if given face, so don't blame her for settling old and new accounts together!
"Yi Yi, all you have to do... is live your life well. This is what we all want."
Uncle Wang immediately shook his head, unwilling to let Chen Zhuyi be involved in these dirty matters.
"I will be fine only if my family is happy. Don't worry, I will naturally protect myself and find other options. Besides... since you have been wronged, it won't be difficult to resolve this matter."
As soon as Chen Zhu finished speaking, it was time to go out.
The police officer next to them reminded them, and then Shen Zhuyi walked out with Huo Jinzhi. She asked softly with sparkling eyes: "Who are we looking for next?"
Since Huo Jinzhi was so confident in what he said, he must have a network of connections that could be utilized.
"This person...you should actually be familiar with him." Huo Jinzhi had asked someone to inquire about him before coming here.
The person in charge here is surnamed Zheng, Zheng Linger’s brother, and he is currently gaining experience here.
"Don't keep us in suspense." Chen Zhu urged Huo Jinzhi but did not speak in a hurry. He just took her to the place.
As the battalion commander, Huo Jinzhi was respectfully invited in when he appeared here. Zheng Jianxiao hurried over after receiving the news, and was stunned for a moment when he saw Huo Jinzhi.
"I thought it was some battalion commander who came to visit. Why did you come here? Are you willing to give up your piece of land?" Zheng Jianxiao said with a smile and patted Huo Jinzhi's shoulders twice, with some satisfaction in his eyes.
He only noticed Chen Zhuyi at this moment and raised his eyebrows: "You brought your sister-in-law here, but you didn't introduce them to her?"
