Gu Yao did not answer, but only said, "It's always good to be careful in everything you do."
Zhou Chunhua nodded.
Gu Yao turned around and walked up the steps.
"Gu Yao!" Zhou Chunhua quickly called out to him.
Gu Yao's expression hardened, and he swiftly returned to her side.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"
Seeing Gu Yao's concerned expression, Zhou Chunhua smiled and shook her head: "I want to say... thank you! Thank you for your help all this time."
Thank you for your tremendous help over the years, thank you for preparing the self-defense tools for me, and thank you even more for coming to my rescue in time.
That day... if it weren't for Gu Yao, Ganxi Village would have been their final resting place.
Looking at Gu Yao, Zhou Chunhua recalled the day Gu Yao appeared before her...
It's like... it's like... a peerless hero arriving on auspicious clouds.
"Um."
Zhou Chunhua snapped out of her daze after Gu Yao hummed in agreement.
"Hmm?" What does that mean?
Gu Yao's lips slowly curled up: "Just saying thank you, isn't your thank you a bit too hasty?"
Zhou Chunhua was taken aback at first, then quickly nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes."
That was indeed a bit hasty.
Saying thank you empty-handed is like trying to get something for nothing.
But... what could she possibly offer as a token of her gratitude?
money?
Even if she did have some money, Gu Yao isn't exactly short of cash.
thing?
Zhou Chunhua looked Gu Yao up and down, but she couldn't recognize the origin of any of his clothes.
She wanted to buy something for Gu Yao, but she didn't know where to start.
It's funny, but after she married Liao Nanxing, she learned to shop online in order to save on household expenses. At first, she shopped on Taobao, and later on Pinduoduo.
Clothes went from costing tens of yuan on Taobao to costing a dozen yuan on Pinduoduo, and shoes were sold in pairs a year, all for 9.9 yuan.
At that time, in her ignorance, she was proud of herself for spending so little money on herself.
Looking back now, I realize how ridiculous I was.
All the money she painstakingly saved up ended up as designer clothes for Su Mu, luxury handbags for him, and expensive steaks for him.
This reminded her of a quote she saw online: "Every penny you're reluctant to spend, someone else will spend for you."
It was only later that she truly realized the increasing importance of the saying that women must learn to love themselves.
Thinking of this, she dug up her younger self and gave her a good scolding.
She shook her head, banishing the ridiculous and pathetic version of herself from her mind.
"I... invite you to dinner?" Zhou Chunhua awkwardly brushed the stray hairs from her forehead.
She remembered Gu Yao saying that he liked her cooking the most.
To be honest, this is the only skill she's really good at.
"I did save your life again, and you just want to get rid of me with a meal?"
"No...it's me..."
"Is it too much for you to send me a bouquet of flowers?"
"Huh?" Zhou Chunhua's mind was a little slow to catch up.
"What? You keep saying I've helped you so much, and you can't even afford a bouquet of flowers?"
"no……"
Just as Zhou Chunhua was about to explain, Gu Yao interrupted her again.
"If not, then send me a bouquet of flowers."
Zhou Chunhua: ... "Okay."
As she was thinking about finding a florist when she got back and personally wrapping a bouquet for Gu Yao, she heard Gu Yao say, "When to send it and what flowers to send are up to me."
After Gu Yao finished speaking, he urged her to hurry up and follow.
Zhou Chunhua was still a little dazed as she watched Gu Yao's retreating figure.
Once inside the gate, they found the task force's office.
Gu Yao knocked on the door, and someone immediately came out to greet him.
"Attorney Gu, Ms. Zhou, what brings you here?"
The one speaking was Captain Zhang, who had come to the hospital to take her statement that day.
Gu Yao glanced at the others in the office and asked, "Captain Zhang, can we talk alone?"
"Of course!" Without a moment's hesitation, Captain Zhang led them into an empty office.
Only after Captain Zhang closed the door did Gu Yao take out a photocopy of the bank draft from his briefcase and hand it over.
"Team Leader Zhang, take a look at this."
Captain Zhang took it and read it very carefully.
As time ticked by, Captain Zhang's expression grew increasingly grim.
Captain Zhang examined that small stack of bank drafts seven times.
"Where... did this come from?" Captain Zhang asked.
“In Chen Xue’s diary,” Gu Yao said.
Team Leader Zhang looked surprised: "You didn't mention it at the hospital that day!"
"We only discovered it later."
Where was it found?
"Inside the cover of the diary."
Zhou Chunhua watched quietly from the side.
She couldn't help but wonder why Gu Yao hadn't mentioned Chen Deming at all.
"You found it?" Captain Zhang asked again.
Gu Yao replied, "More or less."
After saying that, Gu Yao pointed to the bank draft: "The payee is Wu Hao, and the ID card of the remitter Wang Lin is an old ID card. It's possible that only you can find out who this person is."
After all, such frequent and large-scale drafts couldn't have come for no reason. More importantly, the fact that Chen Xue hid these drafts so discreetly was enough to show that they must be very important.
Of course, these are all just our speculations. As for who transferred the money to Wu Hao, and why so much money was given to him, that's for you to investigate.
