A phone call landed on Song Shiyan. "I have an hour this afternoon. You can interrogate those Wu family members thoroughly. I'll come over and observe."
Song Shiyan: "..."
Are you kidding me? "How can an hour be enough for a trial?"
"I'll go after you've finished your review. I can only spare an hour anyway."
Song Shiyan raised an eyebrow. "That tone is really confrontational. What did they do to you?"
"Is that even a question? The person they're trying to kill is someone I'm protecting. Didn't you already know that?"
Song Shiyan became interested. He did know something about it before; the other party definitely knew Gu Tingzhi, but he really didn't know the exact extent.
"Didn't you say you were going to detain them temporarily so you could negotiate with the other parents? You've changed your mind so quickly? This isn't like you."
Gu Tingzhi said nonchalantly, "My little girl has changed her mind, so I will naturally do as she says."
Song Shiyan was shocked and almost jumped up from his chair. "Oh! Your little girl? Hey, I heard that a really pretty girl often comes to your workplace to bring you food. Is that true? You've only been here for two months and you're already dating?"
It has to be said, having a good-looking face really makes a difference!
Song Shiyan looked around for a mirror, touched his face, and felt that he was not much worse than Gu Tingzhi. How come he was still a bachelor after three years?
Gu Tingzhi, on the other side, remained silent.
Subconsciously, he didn't want to refute Song Shiyan's words. He knew that he liked it when people treated him and Meng Fuyan as a couple. He even enjoyed the teasing from his friends and colleagues, but he was also worried that it would affect Meng Fuyan.
Gu Tingzhi knew very well that he was in a stalemate.
I'm reluctant to let her go to someone else, but do I have the confidence to truly possess her...?
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated Gu Tingzhi became, and his mood worsened.
"Stop talking nonsense and interrogate them properly this afternoon. It's not too much to use more torture on these dangerous elements. They must have done a lot of illegal things in Changning City. If you can get some useful information out of them, I'll consider it a favor to you. Feel free to ask me for anything in the future."
Song Shiyan was stunned. "Really?"
"real!"
Song Shiyan was delighted. "You said it yourself! You dare to do such a heinous thing at such a young age. You were supposed to be dealt with by me. If it weren't for you, why would I have kept you locked up like this? It's such a waste of food."
Song Shiyan looks like a handsome young gentleman, but he's incredibly ruthless. Anyone who dares to disobey him will be severely punished. If it weren't for Gu Tingzhi keeping them in check, those members of the Wu family would have already been dealt with by Song Shiyan, given their tempers.
In the afternoon, Gu Tingzhi actually went to watch, and Song Shiyan did not disappoint him. He did get some information out of Song Shiyan, and it was quite useful.
Upon seeing the results of the investigation, Song Shiyan was furious.
"Damn! A relative of a factory manager is living a better life than me. I haven't even found a girlfriend yet, and he already has two women, and the worst part is he's not even married?"
Gu Tingzhi wasn't concerned about that, after all, he was used to seeing this kind of thing.
"Has he admitted that he is Wu Guozhu's biological son?"
Song Shiyan shook his head. "No, he confessed to everything else, but he won't budge on this one point. He keeps saying that he's just a relative of Wu Guozhu, and that Wu Guozhu favors him because his aunt gave birth to triplets. It's obviously an excuse. Be careful. These people may seem stupid, but they're mostly just fearless and malicious. They're just lawless because their families are rich and powerful. The girl you like is probably being schemed against by this live-in son-in-law."
"If it was really planned in advance, then this girl will definitely be in danger. Changning Machinery Factory is one of the top factories in the entire south!"
He sat down next to Gu Tingzhi and nudged him with his elbow. "Hey, are you sure you want to take on these guys? If you really go to make a move, Wu Guozhu's adult children are all here. I remember the Meng family still has businesses, right? There are too many people eyeing those kinds of businesses these days. Aren't you afraid they'll resort to desperate measures and drag your little girl into it too?"
These are exactly the things Meng Fuyan was worried about, which is why she hasn't taken action against Wu Guozhu until now. Otherwise, she would have dealt with him long ago.
Meng Fuyan and Gu Tingzhi both knew what the Wu family was up to, and it was precisely because they knew so much that they were worried about being implicated.
These days, getting involved with enemy agents is a death sentence!
However, that was all in the past. Now that the decision has been made, it is necessary to find a way to extricate oneself from the situation.
The scene Meng Fuyan acted out while answering the phone at the brigade headquarters was foreshadowing.
Gu Tingzhi said, "But this can't go on forever. I can't let them continue to bully people. If we don't teach them a lesson, they will continue to act with impunity. You said it yourself, the reason they dare to deal with Meng Fuyan so openly is not because they are stupid, but because they are fearless."
"If this continues, something will happen to Yanyan. So, there's no need to go easy on her. What he did... counts as having an affair, right? It's serious enough to warrant the death penalty."
Song Shiyan said helplessly, "I already said, he's not stupid. He's not married, and he doesn't admit to having casual relationships. He says it's called free love, which is highly valued in big cities these days. If the woman's side can be appeased well, then... it really does count as free love. At most, it'll just ruin his reputation. If he had a job, making a scene could get him fired. But this guy has already lost his job, so... it won't have much of an impact!"
"As for Wu Siyu, it's a fact that she made a move. It would be easy to put her in jail, but given her current state, the Wu family will definitely give up on her, so the impact won't be significant. As for the youngest, Wu Meixiang, even if we wanted to deal with her, the charges wouldn't be too serious, since she didn't lay a hand on anyone. If the Wu family wanted to step in to protect her, they would only suffer a minor setback."
If it won't die, then find a way to smother it to death!
Gu Tingzhi knew what to do. "You continue your interrogation. Keep all these people locked up. Also, send someone to Changning City to investigate. Let the Wu family know about what Wu Chengjia confessed to. Let them know we're working on him. Put pressure on them and force them to take action. Once they take action, it will be easy to find something to hold against them."
Song Shiyan blinked. "Are you trying to wipe out the entire Wu family? They must have powerful backers."
Gu Tingzhi laughed, "That depends on what the Wu family has done. If it's a minor matter, their backers will definitely protect him. But if it's a major matter, their backers probably wish he would die sooner."
Song Shiyan nodded. "Okay, I'll send someone to take care of it."
Soon, Meng Fuyan received a call from Gu Tingzhi, "Brother Gu, you called me? Is something wrong?"
Gu Tingzhi said, "Yanyan, don't go anywhere during this time. Stay in the brigade, preferably in the educated youth compound. Don't go anywhere else and don't get close to any strangers, understand?"
Meng Fuyan frowned. "What happened?"
