"But as far as I know, he secretly instructed his relatives and subordinates, who also worked at the steel plant, to buy and sell steel materials produced by the steel plant. This was a very secretive matter, and we wouldn't have found out if they hadn't asked Mu Er's friend to help them."
Fu Wan narrowed her eyes upon hearing this; she had indeed guessed correctly.
Zhou Yali's reckless behavior—reporting Qin Anning based solely on Xu Zhiqiang's words, trying to cause Qin Anning to lose her job—demonstrates that others are insignificant in their eyes.
It was Zhou Yali's family background that gave her such confidence.
As the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet," and she knew that such a family background wouldn't stand up to scrutiny for long.
Now that everything has been investigated, Fu Wan has a completely different opinion of Xu Zhiqiang.
That's incredibly bold. With a father-in-law who wields so much power, he still dares to hide a wife and child in his hometown.
Is he really not afraid that Zhou Yali's family will kill him?
"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Mr. Sun."
Upon hearing this, Sun Youjin replied, "No need, Comrade Xiao Fu, how do you plan to handle this matter?"
"Naturally, let the law handle it."
Fu Wan's answer left Sun Youjin speechless. He had been doing business with his family since he was ten years old, and he had seen all sorts of tricks in the business world.
Fu Wan asked him to find out about these things, and he thought Fu Wan was planning to have someone kill both of their families. But then Fu Wan said something like, "Report to the police?!"
"Comrade Xiao Fu, you're not kidding me, are you?"
Sun Youjin sighed helplessly, while Fu Wan chuckled, "How could that be? I was indeed planning to report it to the police. Everything in the steel plant is state property. If they're reselling public goods, shouldn't I let the law deal with them?"
"That's true, but it's not satisfying!"
Sun Youjin was somewhat exasperated, saying, "The law can only punish Zhou Jianqun at most, but it might not be able to handle Zhou Yali and her husband!"
"Comrade Xiao Fu, these two must have offended you. Letting them go like this is too easy on them. Why don't you say a word, and I'll send someone over to help you get revenge. We absolutely can't suffer in silence!"
Sun Youjin isn't stupid. If Fu Wan asked him to investigate those things, it's highly likely that the couple did something unpleasant.
As far as he knew, Fu Wan was not married yet. Could it be that this man had gone and provoked Fu Wan again?
Fu Wan chuckled as she listened, and could roughly guess that Sun Youjin was probably imagining things.
"Mr. Sun, you really don't need to. I can handle this myself."
Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. They didn't mess with me, but they messed with my family. If you want to help me, give me the contact information for Mou Er's friend. I want him to do a few things for me!
Seeing that Fu Wan spoke so easily, Sun Youjin immediately had no other choice.
"Okay, I have their pager number. Wait a moment, I'll find it for you."
Fu Wan responded and turned to find paper and pen.
Since Zhou Yali liked reporting and receiving letters, she kindly sent her two letters.
Fu Wan definitely had to tell Xu Zhiqiang that he had a wife and children in the countryside.
As for Zhou Jianqun's steel resale, the fact that he dared to do so means he must have considerable influence in the local area.
Considering Sun Shao-ping's previous words, they must have discovered this during their investigation and should have taken action very soon.
That's good too. She can send some more things to the city so that they have less work to do.
Fu Wan was very fast; the cannery and food factory had to deliver goods to the neighboring county every day.
Fu Wan's letter and the deposit for the service were delivered to Mu Er's friend on the same day along with the factory's goods.
In the days leading up to this, Zhou Yali had already argued with Xu Zhiqiang several times over writing the whistleblower letter.
After writing the whistleblower letter a while ago, Zhou Yali felt very regretful. She didn't regret that she might affect the work of a stranger, but rather that she shouldn't have written it herself.
After calming down, she thought about it carefully and realized that reporting Qin Anning might be a trap. Those who inexplicably sent her materials and helped her deliver the report might have ulterior motives.
So ever since the whistleblower letter was taken away, Zhou Yali had a vague feeling of unease for several days.
It wasn't until later, when the investigation team came to ask her questions, that her unease finally came to fruition.
The investigation team left after repeatedly asking about the ins and outs of the matter, but left Zhou Yali with endless pain.
The first thing to be affected was Xu Zhiqiang's change of attitude.
Xu Zhiqiang only found out what Zhou Yali had done when the investigation team came to him. He had stayed in the camp for less than half a year, and Qin Anning was not a soldier in the strict sense. But when he thought of Sun Shaoping's protective nature, Xu Zhiqiang immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
He had just secured his position as head of the security department, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, he would be promoted to deputy workshop director next year.
Now that Zhou Yali has caused this trouble, will it affect his future? How will the camp investigate? These questions made Xu Zhiqiang so angry that he almost collapsed.
The investigation team had barely left when Xu Zhiqiang slapped Zhou Yali across the face.
How could this woman be so stupid? Just because she has a factory manager father, she acts recklessly and dares to mess with anyone.
Did she ever consider that this would affect her career?
Zhou Yali was stunned by the beating and looked at Xu Zhiqiang in disbelief.
It took her a long time to accept that she had been hit. Zhou Yali was not one to be trifled with, and immediately slapped her back.
Xu Zhiqiang didn't say anything, but turned around with a livid face, slammed the door shut, and left. Zhou Yali was not to be outdone, so she packed her things, took the child, and went back to her parents' home.
Zhou Yali's father, Zhou Jianqun, had just returned home from get off work when his daughter hugged him and started crying.
Zhou Jianqun was furious when he saw the slap mark on his daughter's face that had not yet faded. The next day, he found an excuse to make Xu Zhiqiang stop working and go home to rest.
Xu Zhiqiang felt guilty, but he couldn't bring himself to coax Zhou Yali back, so he could only stay home and drink alone for two days.
When his mother returned from the countryside, she found the house in a mess, reeking of alcohol, and her daughter-in-law and granddaughter nowhere to be found.
"Son, what's wrong with you? Did that bitch Yali bully you again?"
"What are you bullying me for? Something happened yesterday, and I slapped her. She took the child and went back to her parents' house!"
Xu Zhiqiang was dreaming when his mother shook him awake. He impatiently pushed away his mother Liu Guixiang's hand, turned over, and continued to sleep.
Liu Guixiang was stunned when she heard this, never expecting that her son would actually hit Zhou Yali.
Upon closer inspection, she discovered a handprint on her son's face as well, and she was immediately filled with anger.
It was bad enough that Xu Zhiqiang hit Zhou Yali, but Zhou Yali actually dared to hit him back! That's outrageous!
In their village, a wife who dares to beat her husband would be vilified and have her back broken!
