Gu Ye and Jiang Yue left the reception hall. As soon as they came out, Jiang Yue took several deep breaths. The cold air outside diluted the stuffiness in his heart.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Gu Ye noticed in the hall that Jiang Yue had been covering her mouth and nose with her hands and frowning from time to time, so he was in a hurry to take her out.
"It's too stuffy in there! The smell is so bad!" There is heating in the hall, and the doors and windows are closed, so the air is not circulating. When there are many people, the smell is naturally very strong. Jiang Yue could still bear it at first, but later she felt nauseous and always felt like something was rising in her throat.
"Do you want to rest for a while?" Gu Ye asked with concern. It would be very cold in the car.
"It's okay, it's much better now!" Jiang Yue waved her hands. Seeing that Gu Ye's face was also covered in sweat, she naturally took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him.
"Brother, sister, are you going to have dinner? Take me with you!" Zhan Xiaotian followed out at this time.
"Aren't you going with your dad and the others?" Gu Ye disliked Zhan Xiaotian and didn't want to take him with him at all.
"They have to deal with the man named Hao, so they will probably be busy for a while. It seems too boring to me, so I came out for a walk." Zhan Xiaotian smiled.
"Sister, you don't mind if I follow you, right?" Zhan Xiaotian was very domineering. Seeing that Gu Ye didn't want to take him with him, he acted like a puppy and looked at Jiang Yue cutely.
Jiang Yue glanced at Gu Ye and smiled, "I don't mind!"
Except for Zhan Shiqing who just arrived today, the other members of the Zhan family arrived in the provincial capital of Jiang Province three days ago and secretly launched an investigation into Hao Fugui.
Jiang Yue and Gu Ye met up with them after arriving in the provincial capital in the morning, and Zhan Xiaotian had only known Jiang Yue for a few hours.
However, when both Zhan Xiaotian and other people in the Zhan family first heard that Gu Ye was already married, they were all surprised. After all, with Gu Ye's status, there were many rich daughters in Beijing who wanted to marry him, not to mention that Gu Ye was so handsome and had outstanding abilities.
As a result, Gu Ye got married so casually.
It was not until the people from the Zhan family saw Gu Ye's wife, the educated youth, that they realized that Gu Ye did not marry casually. Look at his wife, who is as beautiful as a flower, with a lively face, delicate and bright appearance. Her temperament is not inferior even when standing next to those famous daughters of the capital.
No wonder Gu Ye was so devoted and willing to stay in a small place like Qingshan County to serve as a soldier, and was furious because the Hao family almost hurt his wife.
Jiang Yue gave Hao Fugui five hours, but before three o'clock in the afternoon, the Zhan family sent two boxes.
At that time, Jiang Yue and Gu Ye were sitting in a western restaurant drinking coffee. It was too cold outside, so it was warmer in the western restaurant.
The manager of the western restaurant saw Gu Ye and Jiang Yue and recognized them as the two people who had clashed with the Han sisters here on Sunday. Seeing that they were still safe and sound, the manager was obviously shocked.
This was the first time Jiang Yue drank coffee since coming to this world. She took a sip and the coffee flavor was still very pure, but for some reason, she felt a little nauseous after drinking it.
"Don't like it?" Seeing Jiang Yue put down the coffee cup after taking only one sip, Gu Ye asked, "Add some more sugar?"
"Yeah, okay!" Jiang Yue also felt that she should add some sugar. In her previous life, she loved drinking coffee and she had a coffee machine at home. It didn't make sense that she would feel nauseous after drinking coffee here.
Zhan Xiaotian went out for a while, and came back to say to Gu Ye and Jiang Yue: "Brother, sister, my dad and the others are here!"
Jiang Yue and Gu Ye looked at each other, then stood up and saw Zhan Shiqing coming in.
"Uncle Zhan." Gu Ye greeted him.
"It's not convenient to talk here. Let's go out and talk?" Zhan Shiqing looked around. There were several customers in the western restaurant, and a man who looked like a manager was peeking over here.
"Okay!" Gu Ye told Jiang Yue to wait for him in the restaurant, then turned around and went out with Zhan Shiqing.
Zhan Xiaotian was left behind to accompany Jiang Yue.
Not long after, Gu Ye came back. Seeing Zhan Xiaotian and Jiang Yue chatting animatedly, he frowned slightly, then stepped forward and held out his hand to Jiang Yue, "Let's go!"
"Where are you going?" Jiang Yue placed her hand in Gu Ye's palm and looked at him with a smile in her big watery eyes.
"Go home!" Gu Ye said gently.
Jiang Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at the time on her watch. It was only a little after two o'clock, and Hao Fugui had already delivered the compensation? Could it be that he had consciously prepared it in advance?
When the two came out, Zhan Shiqing and Zhan Shihao were still there.
Seeing Jiang Yue and Gu Ye, Zhan Shiqing said in a deep voice: "This matter was caused by my Zhan family. My Zhan family will not evade responsibility and will give an explanation to the people of Jiang Province!"
Zhan Shiqing looked at Gu Ye with gratitude in his eyes. If this matter was not discovered by Gu Ye, but was discovered by the Zhan family's enemies and reported to the higher-ups, it would definitely have an impact on his career.
So when Zhan Shiqing received Gu Ye's call, he was very shocked. He immediately called a few of his brothers and told them to take people to Jiang Province to investigate.
This investigation is very serious. Hao Fugui has been claiming for years that the Zhan family is his backer. In Jiang Province, he has not only accumulated wealth, but also killed people and forced women of good families into prostitution.
Just now, they received a call at the Hao family. The person on the other end of the phone spoke with a southern accent and asked when the girl Hao Qian mentioned earlier could be sent over. He said that there was a shortage of girls over there and asked Hao Qian to find a few more young and beautiful ones.
It's easy to guess what kind of place that is. However, what shocked them even more was that the person Hao Qian mentioned to send to the southern brothel was actually Jiang Yue.
Everyone present at the Zhan family felt their scalps tingling. They dared not imagine what Gu Ye would do to the Zhan family if Jiang Yue was really abducted!
Several people decided to keep this matter secret at that time. Gu Ye must not know about it.
Firstly, they were worried that Gu Ye would kill Hao Fugui and Hao Qian on the spot. These two people could not die for the time being and they had to continue interrogating them. Secondly, they were also afraid that Gu Ye would vent his anger on the Zhan family.
"Comrade Jiang Yue, Hao Fugui's compensation has been placed in Gu Ye's car. Of course, that's only a part of it. We have already sent people to count Hao Fugui's property. Don't worry, we will definitely send you the rest!"
When Zhan Shiqing faced Jiang Yue, his eyes were gentle, "To express our apology, our Zhan family will also send a gift!"
Jiang Yue looked at Gu Ye. Although this matter was caused by the Zhan family, the main family of the Zhan family was indeed unaware of it. It was Zhan Degao, a member of the Zhan family's branch, who took advantage of the information gap and provided Hao Fugui with a protective umbrella. So she didn't know whether she should accept this gift from Zhan Shiqing.
"We will return to Beijing next week." Gu Ye's simple words revealed his attitude.
"Okay! I'll host the party then, and I hope my niece-in-law will do me the honor!" Zhan Shiqing said with a smile.
This was the first time in her two lifetimes that she had met such a high-ranking official. Jiang Yue did not expect Zhan Shiqing to be so amiable, but she immediately thought that this was because of Gu Ye's identity.
If Gu Ye was an ordinary person, I'm afraid Zhan Shiqing would not treat him with such courtesy.
Moreover, if Gu Ye was an ordinary person, they would not even be able to fight back when facing someone with "privileges" like Hao Fugui, just like those ordinary people who were bullied by Hao Fugui in the past ten or twenty years.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue couldn't help but frowned slightly.
