The entire brigade headquarters was eerily quiet. Everyone had heard Wu Guodong's words, and clearly, everyone felt that something was amiss.
If all four children are Wu Guozhu's biological children, then this matter is truly explosive.
If this is confirmed, the impact will be enormous; Wu Guozhu could even be executed.
The key point is that if this is true, then Wu Guozhu must have ulterior motives for marrying into the Meng family. The Meng family is no ordinary family!
That's the old factory director's house!
Meng Fuyan hung up the phone and stood there with her head down, her face full of grievances, as if she was trying hard not to cry. The captain, scorekeeper, and accountant next to her all felt sorry for her.
Meng Yunji tugged at her sister's sleeve, "Sister..."
Meng Fuyan took a deep breath and dialed Gu Tingzhi's number.
Gu Tingzhi was a little surprised to receive Meng Fuyan's call. "What's wrong?"
Meng Fuyan's eyes reddened, and tears fell. "Brother Gu, Changning City just called me. It was my uncle Wu Guodong. He asked me to plead with you, saying that those people are my brothers and sisters, all family, and asked me not to pursue the matter and to let them go."
Gu Tingzhi frowned. Something about the voice sounded off. Had Wu Guodong cursed at her?
"Yanyan, did he yell at you? Did you cry?"
Meng Fuyan blinked, tears streaming down her face, her voice trembling with sobs, "I've been in the countryside with my younger brother for so long, and they haven't made a single phone call or sent a single letter. They've never asked how I'm doing here. This time, Yunji's eyes were almost gouged out by Wu Siyu, and my father didn't even ask. It was my uncle who called."
“He didn’t ask a single question about whether Yunji was injured. He kept saying that those people were my brothers and sisters, family, and that I shouldn’t be so concerned. I just asked him if they were all my father’s biological children, and he paused for a moment and avoided answering. Then he started to say in a high-sounding manner that I was going too far and slandering them.”
“I don’t want to plead for them, not at all. Their attitude towards Wu Chengjia, Wu Chengye, and Wu Siyu is too strange. They committed the crime themselves this time, so they should be sentenced as they should be, preferably heavily, and not let them out. They are not my brothers and sisters. This is not a misunderstanding. I will never forgive them.”
Gu Tingzhi never expected that Meng Fuyan would call him in this state this time. This girl had never cried when she was by his side. He had always protected her very well and couldn't bear to see her suffer in the slightest. Wu Guodong actually dared to make her cry. It seems that he is tired of living!
"Yanyan, don't cry. Don't worry, Wu Siyu's crime is a fact. It can't be cleared up by a few words of misunderstanding. She will be sentenced according to the law. No one can protect them. You... don't cry, okay? Brother Gu has been too busy lately to come see you. Just stay at home and I'll come see you after I'm done with this."
Originally, Wu Siyu and the others weren't important figures. Meng Fuyan had even told him that she would use them to negotiate with the Wu family, but she changed her mind. Gu Tingzhi didn't even ask her anything; Meng Fuyan did whatever she wanted.
Meng Fuyan did not answer Gu Tingzhi's question directly, but asked instead, "Brother Gu, if... I mean if, if it's really as I suspect, that they are all my father's children, and that my father married into the Meng family with a purpose, then... could it be that my mother's accident back then wasn't an accident?"
Gu Tingzhi fell silent.
Hearing the aggrieved sobbing voice on the phone, Gu Tingzhi felt heartbroken, and could imagine how much she had suffered at Wu Guodong's hands.
Many things are actually quite obvious, but they just lack evidence. In the end, the truth came to light in the previous life. He knew a lot, but those things had a huge impact on her. In this life, he doesn't even want her to know.
"Yanyan, don't overthink it, okay? Your mother is so smart, how could she be easily outsmarted? You have to believe that your grandparents are very capable, and your mother is also very capable. They wouldn't be so easily outsmarted."
"At least, the Wu family definitely doesn't have that ability."
"Brother Gu promises you, he'll send someone to investigate what happened back then. Until the results are in, don't go anywhere, just stay home obediently, okay?"
Meng Fuyan sensed the concern in his tone. He was so busy, she didn't want to trouble him at this time, so she obediently agreed.
"Okay, I understand!"
Gu Tingzhi didn't hang up the phone. Instead, he asked if the captain and Xu Jing were there. Meng Fuyan handed the phone to the captain, and then it ended up in Xu Jing's hands. Gu Tingzhi was instructing the two of them to take good care of Meng Fuyan.
That's a lot of information. Everyone here is a shrewd person.
The captain sighed and patted Meng Fuyan on the shoulder. "Go back. With your brother Gu here, those who bullied you won't get away with it."
Meng Fuyan nodded, "Mm!"
After leaving the brigade headquarters with her younger brother and stepping out of the courtyard gate, the sadness in Meng Fuyan's eyes disappeared. She wiped away her tears and took her brother home.
Sometimes, once you find a way, you'll find many solutions. She had previously thought of having Wu Siyu or Wu Chengjia contact those human traffickers and drag them into the mess, but now, seeing Wu Guodong's arrogant attitude, she felt it wasn't necessary to go through all that trouble.
Anyway, if Wu Guozhu is pushed too far, he will definitely deal with her. Even without Wu Siyu and Wu Chengjia, he would still deal with her.
In the Northeast, the only people the Wu family can contact are those two. It seems that Wu Siyu and the others being in jail doesn't affect them much.
Xu Jing and Fu Chaosheng followed Meng Fuyan and Meng Yunji at a distance, and even Xu Jing felt a little sorry for the young girl.
"This is most likely true. It's outrageous. This scheming is too ruthless. No wonder her stepmother signed her up to go to the countryside despite her good job."
Fu Chaosheng frowned. "Even if those others are his biological children, these two in front of me are also his biological children! Aren't these two important?"
Xu Jing glanced at him, shook his head and sighed, "You big dummy, you don't understand the dark thoughts of these people. The Meng family is such a high-class family, Wu Guozhu must be resentful about marrying into it. This kind of person is obviously dirt poor but thinks too highly of himself. I guess in his heart, he regards these two siblings as enemies, wants to take all of the Meng family's property, and wants to get rid of these two siblings so that his shameful past will not be mentioned."
Fu Chaosheng shuddered, "It's too tragic. Such a good background, such a good family, and yet they've been schemed against like this."
Xu Jing snorted coldly, "With the boss around, the Wu family won't have a good ending."
Xu Jing was absolutely right. Gu Tingzhi was furious when he answered the phone!
Unfortunately, Wu Jiayuan is in Changning City and can't reach them for the time being. The only ones who are truly unlucky are Wu Siyu and Wu Chengjia, who are in prison.
