Chapter 115 Giving Away with Hands
"Listen to me?" Chu Zhen was taken aback by my quick agreement, then became serious.
“Since you’re listening to me, then you shouldn’t follow them to the scene. They already know about you, and if Amy gets involved and you’re discovered there, things will get even worse. If you get injured, I won’t have the face to refuse Wang Sihong when he comes to demand your release.”
"So you're going to give me up so easily~" I understand Chu Zhen's thoughts. I understand his guilt towards me. He's afraid I'll get hurt again. "No matter what, don't give up on me easily. If you lose me, I'm terrible with directions and I won't be able to find my way back. If I get lost, you won't be able to find me either."
"No, I won't lose you. Everything will be alright." Chu Zhen stood on the balcony, his brows furrowed, gazing into the distance. Ever since he learned that Amy had returned to China, Chu Zhen's mind had become increasingly troubled.
People are blocking the entrance to the Huang Group every day, and Huang's stock has hit the daily limit down, which has a significant impact on the group.
"Ji-hyo, let's go see Big Sister tonight. I think she must have a reason." Huang Yan-yan is currently staying at the company every day, which is a big challenge for her. Countless eyes are watching the Huang Group, and it's inconvenient for us to go in and out. I can only think of other methods.
When we were helping my older sister with her funeral arrangements, we learned her address. We went to her place under the cover of darkness, but it was dark inside and no one answered when we knocked on the door.
"Where could you be going so late?"
We were a bit puzzled. We made sure it was dark by then and most people had rested, but we still came up empty-handed.
"Maybe they thought we'd come back to find our older sister, so they settled her somewhere else." Song Ji-hyo looked around to make sure no one was inside.
"What are you doing?" a passerby asked warily as he saw us looking around.
"Auntie, we're looking for this lady. Do you know where she is?"
"Her husband hasn't come back much since the accident, and she moved away many days ago. Who are you to her? Why are you coming over at night?" The aunt looked around and led us to a quiet alley after seeing that we didn't seem like bad people.
“Chunfang (the eldest sister’s name) is a woman with a hard life. Her husband was never well-liked by his family. The couple were hardworking and managed to buy land and build a house here. Their lives were just starting to improve when this happened to the man.” The aunt sighed deeply. “Those nephews and nieces, I never saw them come to the door during holidays. But now that their uncle is in trouble, they all come wanting a share of the money. Chunfang isn’t the type to cause trouble. I saw on the news that she took the ashes to the company gate and made a scene. It must have been those nephews who forced her to do that. It’s been several days now, and I haven’t seen her come back. Maybe her nephews have hidden her away.”
"Auntie, do you know where your nephews live?"
"They live in the next village, they're all idlers. Are you Chunfang's relatives? I don't think I've seen you before?"
"Auntie, to be honest, we're from a TV station." Song Ji-hyo revealed her identity directly, hoping the aunt in front of her could tell them more and perhaps be of some help.
"The TV station? I heard people in the village talking about how the TV station is in cahoots with that group. What do you want now?" The aunt became agitated.
"Auntie, this is a long story, and it's not convenient to talk about it here."
Although this alley is very secluded, someone just passed by and peeked inside. If we encounter someone with bad intentions, it will be difficult for us to escape.
"Well then, my house is right next door, why don't you come to my place?"
The aunt took us to her home. Her children all work away from home, and her husband drives a taxi. She lives alone at home now.
“Auntie, we’re from the TV station. These are our work IDs. We’re not affiliated with the Huang Group. However, Huang Yanyan, the president of the Huang Group, is indeed our friend, so we know her character very well.” Song Zhixiao and I handed our work IDs to the auntie, who seemed a little relieved after seeing them.
"Chunfang and I are both from out of town who married into this family. We used to be quite close. After this incident, I visited her almost every day. She told me about the compensation terms offered by the Huang Group. To be honest, those terms were a guarantee for both her and her daughter. She didn't want to make a big fuss. She said the company handled things very well and promptly, without taking advantage of her being a woman. The group paid a million yuan, but Chunfang only kept 100,000 yuan; the other 900,000 yuan was taken by her nephews. Those people are really greedy!"
"Auntie, may I ask you for a favor?"
"You said~"
"Could you broadcast these words as part of our interview?"
"this......"
Song Ji-hyo was getting a little anxious.
"Auntie, it's nothing. We just really wanted to help our friend. We won't tell anyone about these conversations, so please don't worry."
If what Auntie said is true, and her nephews are indeed idle and lazy, and they live in a neighboring village, they will definitely cause trouble for Auntie in every way once they find out what she said. We need to solve the problem, but we cannot do so at the expense of other people's safety.
“Girls, if you want to find Chunfang, you can try waiting at the school. After all, the child needs to go to school.”
Before we left, the aunt pointed out a clear path for us, but Song Ji-hyo and I were so anxious that we forgot about it.
"Also, avoid this area. I saw someone lurking around suspiciously when you were at the door, so be careful."
The auntie was worried about us and insisted on taking us to the village entrance where we parked our car. She waited until we got back in the car before going back herself. If there were more people like this older sister and auntie in the world, wouldn't love be everywhere?
"Why is your great Chu's car over there?" As soon as we entered the city, we saw Chu Zhen's car parked on the side of the road.
"Are you on some kind of mission?" Chu Zhen waved as Song Ji-hyo's car pulled up beside him.
"They were obviously waiting for you. Fine, get out of the car. I need to hurry back and video chat with Zhao Zhengyu. I haven't spoken to that guy for days."
Everyone's been on edge lately, and we've really forgotten about dating.
What are you doing here?
"You two are so bold, but you're not strong enough. I have to act as your protector, don't I?"
Chu Zhen opened the thermos, and a strong aroma of ginger candy filled the car.
"If you've been standing in the wind for a long time, have something to warm yourself up."
"The right place at the right time? How do you know we're in the right place at the right time? Could it be that you're the sneaky person Auntie was talking about?"
