The envelope contained a thick stack of evidence—evidence of Zhou Jianqun's bribery and illegal activities over the years!
These materials were placed together with Xu Zhiqiang's clothes, and Zhou Yali had seen this wooden box before.
She remembered that she casually asked Xu Zhiqiang what was inside, and Xu Zhiqiang replied, "Oh, it's some unimportant stuff."
But is this thick stack in my hand just some unimportant stuff?
Zhou Yali flipped through the papers one by one. She knew her father's hands weren't clean; in that position, how many people were truly clean?
But that doesn't mean she won't be angry when she sees these things. What does Xu Zhiqiang want to do with these things? Is he preparing to bring down her father one day, or is he using them as leverage to threaten her father?
Ha, he pretended to be such a dutiful grandson in front of her father, but he must have been secretly seething with hatred!
Zhou Yali felt a chill run down her spine at the thought. This kind of information could not have been collected overnight. She didn't know when Xu Zhiqiang had started preparing these things.
All she knew was that she spent countless days and nights with a man who was always ready to overthrow her father. How much sincerity could such a person have for her?
People are always inclined to seek advantage and avoid harm. Between her father, who had raised her for decades, and Xu Zhiqiang, Zhou Yali would definitely choose to help her father.
Moreover, she still had evidence of Xu Zhiqiang's infidelity in her hands, and at this moment, Zhou Yali's last bit of sympathy for Xu Zhiqiang completely disappeared.
Zhou Yali looked at the things in front of her and didn't know what to do. Should she take these things away, or put them back and pretend that she hadn't found anything, and then test Xu Zhiqiang when he came back to find out what he was up to?
But Xu Zhiqiang was a very cautious person. He would definitely find out as soon as she came back if she touched these things. Thinking of the ferocious face of Xu Zhiqiang when he slapped her earlier, Zhou Yali shuddered and then made a decision.
We must bring these things back!
Regardless, I need to go back and remind her dad first, and then ask him how he should handle it.
Normally, Zhou Jianqun is the one who makes the decisions at home. Now that something like this has happened, Zhou Yali instinctively wants to put the matter in front of Zhou Jianqun and let him find a solution.
After making up her mind, Zhou Yali quickly packed the rest of her luggage, then took those things, picked up her child, and went out.
Liu Guixiang was still watching TV in the living room when she saw her carrying luggage, which made her a little strange.
Is it really necessary to bring such a big bag of luggage when it's just for a meal?
Could it be that she's had another fight with her son and is now making a scene about going back to her parents' home?
"Ali, what are you doing?"
Liu Guixiang rushed forward to try and grab Zhou Yali, but Zhou Yali dodged her.
"Mom, didn't I say I was going home for dinner?"
"You don't need to bring such a big bag of luggage to eat. Did Qiangzi upset you again? Oh dear, what couple doesn't argue? When he gets back, I'll give him a good talking to!"
Liu Guixiang put on an indignant expression, while Zhou Yali sneered inwardly but pretended that nothing had happened.
"No, these clothes are all too big for me. I'll take them back and have my mom alter them so I can wear them later."
"Then I can help you change it!"
Liu Guixiang instinctively retorted, but Zhou Yali smiled and shook her head in refusal.
"We don't have a sewing machine at home. If I ask you to change it back, you'll be exhausted. Then Zhiqiang will blame me again."
"You stay home and rest. I'll be right back after I eat."
After saying that, she didn't say anything more, and hurried out the door with her things as if she were fleeing.
Actually, she didn't have much luggage, just a medium-sized nylon bag. Inside, besides a few clothes for the child and herself, there was that inexplicable letter and the information collected by Xu Zhiqiang.
Zhou Yali went out and hailed a tricycle, asking him to take her back to the steel factory's residential compound.
Her return once again sparked a flurry of discussion among the aunties who were chatting and busy outside the courtyard. "Tsk tsk, look at that, it's only been a few days, and Director Zhou's daughter has already run back to her parents' home."
Zhou Yali had no time to care about any of that. She ran home as fast as she could. Wang Ying, who was knitting in the living room, was immediately on edge when she saw her daughter return. She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her daughter had no injuries.
"What happened? Did you two argue again?"
Wang Ying took the child and couldn't help but ask.
Zhou Yali shook her head, her eyes instantly reddening.
"Mom, I should have listened to you a long time ago. Xu Zhiqiang is a bastard, a heartless man. He has a wife and children in the countryside."
Moreover, he was even planning to report my dad!
"Mom, hurry up and call Dad back. I brought back all the materials Xu Zhiqiang collected for the report!"
Wang Ying was shocked and it took her a long time to come to her senses.
"Ali, this is no joke. Could you be mistaken?"
Zhou Yali took the letter Fu Wan had sent out of her bag and placed the photo in front of Wang Ying.
"Unless I'm blind, I couldn't possibly be wrong!"
Looking at the beautiful couple in the photo, Wang Ying suddenly felt dizzy.
That damned Xu Zhiqiang, he's making a fool of their whole family!
Seeing that Wang Ying still hadn't reacted, Zhou Yali got anxious and ran to pick up the phone to call the factory herself.
Soon, Zhou Jianqun rushed back after hearing the news.
Faced with a table full of whistleblower materials, Zhou Jianqun's face was as black as ink.
That damn Xu Zhiqiang, he's actually planning to report him!
"Dad, what should we do now?"
Zhou Yali asked nervously. Zhou Jianqun glanced at her. To be honest, if these things hadn't been brought back by Zhou Yali, he would have slapped this daughter he had spoiled for over twenty years to wake her up.
It's all her fault; she let the wolf into the house!
But she is still his own daughter, and her heart is with him. When she discovers Xu Zhiqiang's disloyalty, she will run back to report it immediately.
After a while, Zhou Jianqun spoke up, "Yali, go and call him and tell him to come back for lunch."
Many people want to bring him down, so he wants to see what else Xu Zhiqiang doesn't know.
Zhou Yali gritted her teeth and reluctantly turned to make a phone call.
Xu Zhiqiang was unaware of what had happened and assumed it was just a normal family gathering.
However, when he got off work and walked into the Zhou family's gate, his keen intuition immediately made him realize that something was wrong.
Zhou Jianqun sat calmly by the coffee table, the ashtray next to him overflowing with cigarette butts.
"Dad, why are you smoking so much? Is something wrong?"
Zhou Jianqun heard Xu Zhiqiang's voice and looked up at him.
"Zhiqiang is here, come and sit down."
Xu Zhiqiang did as he was told, and Zhou Jianqun picked up a cigarette and handed it to him.
"Zhiqiang, let's have a talk. Honestly, haven't I been good to you?"
Xu Zhiqiang nodded subconsciously, but Zhou Jianqun's next words were like a thunderclap in his ears.
"Then why did you collude with outsiders to secretly collect materials to report me?"
"I'll give you a chance. Tell me, who's in charge?"
