Two days later, the poisoning incident was finally resolved.
Everything was just as Jiang Zhiyuan had said.
Gu Yong's confidant never betrayed Gu Yong. Instead, he revealed that it was Gu Dajun who orchestrated the whole thing. He had given Gu Yong a letter in Gu Yong's name and used Gu Yong's personal seal to deceive him into thinking he was going on a mission!
Although the above-mentioned person had doubts about this statement, Gu Yong's confidant never changed his testimony. Moreover, after giving this testimony, he also confessed to some illegal things that Gu Dajun had instructed him to do by taking advantage of Gu Yong's position.
These weren't just empty words; the confidants even left behind evidence, saying they were placed in various locations.
When the military personnel obtained the evidence, the confidant committed suicide with a smile on his face.
No matter how much Gu Dajun cried out that he was wronged, that he was innocent, or that he had made a meritorious contribution by reporting the crime, it was all in vain.
His two instances of hiring assassins to commit murder, as well as threatening and kidnapping others, abusing and oppressing subordinates, and using his position and Gu Yong's status to amass wealth, have all been thoroughly investigated.
As Jiang Zhiyuan predicted, Gu Dajun orchestrated the murder-for-hire scheme. Moreover, after realizing he had no chance of escaping, Gu Dajun simply took all the blame upon himself, thus escaping unscathed.
With Jiang Zhiyuan's help behind the scenes, only Gu Daikui among the three members of the Gu family remained innocent, like a blank sheet of paper, and kept his job.
Jiang Zhiyuan originally didn't want to let Gu Daikui go, but Xu Ningyan said it wasn't necessary.
First, letting Gu Daikui go is good for Jiang Zhiyuan's reputation. The Gu family attacked him and his fiancée twice, but in the end, Jiang Zhiyuan did not wipe them out or use his power to retaliate! This proves that he is upright, values old friendships, and is not the kind of ruthless person who inspires fear.
Secondly, Gu Daikui seems perfectly fine; among the three men, he's the luckiest. But what will happen in the future is hard to say!
Without Gu Yong's support and Gu Dajun's advice, Gu Daikui, being simple-minded, couldn't cause any trouble.
His days ahead will probably be more painful than living!
With Gu Yong and Gu Dajun in trouble, Gu Daikui is the only one left to support the Gu family. How can he possibly manage such a large family on his own?
Moreover, Gu Dajun took all the blame himself to protect him. Gu Da Kui trusted him the most as his elder brother, and he would remember Gu Dajun's kindness for the rest of his life.
Wouldn't he have to treat Gu Dajun's wife and children exceptionally well?
But if he only treats Gu Dajun's wife and children well, what are they capable of? Zhang Yanan is not a magnanimous woman; she not only has a bad temper but also likes to make trouble unreasonably.
Previously, Qiao Aiyuan and Zhang Yanan, the two sisters-in-law, worked together to deal with Jiang Yuan, their stepmother-in-law.
After that, for their own benefit, they will probably turn against each other immediately.
There's also the Gu family patriarch, patriarch, and Fang Dani—such a large family. They were all supported by Gu Yong and Jiang Yuan before, and they've long been used to a good life.
From now on, we'll all have to rely on Gu Daikui to support us, so our standard of living will plummet. But the good days are yet to come!
The Gu family enjoyed so many benefits before, and bullied Jiang Yuan and Jiang Zhiyuan for so many years. It's time for them to taste the bitterness themselves.
As the saying goes, "He who does not listen to his wife will suffer the consequences."
Jiang Zhiyuan, of course, listens to his wife! He immediately declared that he would listen to her in everything! Whatever his wife says goes!
Such a fawning attitude earned him a sweet kiss from his wife as a reward. Jiang Zhiyuan's eyes instantly darkened, something churning within them. He took a deep breath, pulled Xu Ningyan into his arms, grabbed her waist, and pressed her down hard...
The next day, leaders from the Northwest Military Region came to visit.
It was both an expression of condolence and an apology.
Xu Ningyan's health has improved a lot in the past few days, but she is still a bit thinner than when she last went to the Northwest Military Region.
The leaders of the Northwest Military Region naturally took note of this.
First, they inquired about Xu Ningyan's physical condition. Although they had access to information and knew that the remaining poison in Xu Ningyan had been completely cleared, they also knew that her body had been damaged and she still needed to recuperate.
So this time, I brought a lot of famous medicinal herbs from the Northwest.
They were carrying bags and bags of Angelica sinensis, Astragalus membranaceus, Codonopsis pilosula, Gastrodia elata, Lycium barbarum, and Cordyceps sinensis into the house. Xu Ningyan even saw something? Cistanche deserticola?
Before Xu Ningyan could even take a closer look, the military region leaders said that the main responsibility for Xu Ningyan's undeserved misfortune lay with their military region, and that the group that handled Xu Changfeng's funeral arrangements would all have to write self-criticisms and accept punishment upon returning.
The military region will cover Xu Ningyan's medical expenses at the First Military Hospital in Beijing, the medical expenses for Elder Yu, and the subsequent nutritional expenses.
If Xu Ningyan encounters any difficulties or has any needs in the future, she should just let the military region know! As long as it's not too outrageous or violates military discipline, the military region will take care of it!
The leaders of the Northwest Military Region were quite guilty. The daughter of one of their martyrs, a lovely young girl, donated her pension and allowances, benefiting many other families of martyrs.
Although the source of this poisoning incident was her fiancé's eccentric father and two half-brothers, ultimately it was because of them that the young girl suffered so much.
If something were to happen to the young woman, not only would they feel guilty, but the young woman's fiancé would probably not forgive them either.
The military region leaders looked at Jiang Zhiyuan with a somewhat complicated expression. Just a few months ago, he was just an ordinary team leader under Unit X. In such a short time, he has already become the deputy director. His future is clearly bright.
If it weren't for this unexpected turn of events, with Xu Ningyan in the middle, Jiang Zhiyuan would be considered a son-in-law of their Northwest Military Region, and would have some influence in Beijing. To their Northwest Military Region, he would be like having half of their own people in Beijing.
Now that things have turned out this way, even those who are practically family members probably have a lot of complaints about them.
Therefore, the apology was very sincere!
After accepting these gifts, Jiang Zhiyuan used the excuse that Xu Ningyan hadn't fully recovered and told her to go inside and rest first. He then spent a long time chatting and arguing with the military leaders outside before finally seeing her out of the courtyard.
After Jiang Zhiyuan escorted the leaders of the Northwest Military Region out of the courtyard, Xu Ningyan cautiously peeked out of the house.
She still felt a little uncomfortable in such a setting, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after everyone left.
While flipping through the supplements sent by the Northwest Military Region, I saw something that looked like Cistanche deserticola. Upon closer inspection, it really was!
These medicinal herbs and tonics are all of excellent quality, judging from their appearance.
Considering that the people in the Northwest Military Region would need these things, they would definitely accept the best quality, which is a bargain for her.
It would be a waste to leave these medicinal herbs and tonics in Xu Ningyan's hands.
Xu Ningyan planned to keep half of each item in her space and give the rest to Elder Yu as a token of her gratitude.
As for the remaining half, she thought that these top-quality medicinal herbs would become increasingly scarce due to environmental degradation, so she might as well collect more and store them while she still could.
Speaking of this, she remembered a miraculous medicine, Angong Niuhuang Wan, produced in the capital.
It is said that a single Angong Niuhuang Wan from the 1960s was auctioned for over ten thousand yuan, which is an astronomical price.
Although it's not the 1960s anymore, it's still a good idea to buy more of this miraculous medicine and stock up on it. After all, the rhinoceros horn in this medicine can no longer be used in later generations, so its efficacy has been reduced.
While Jiang Zhiyuan was still plotting in his mind, he dropped a bombshell after seeing off the leaders of the Northwest Military Region: "Fang Dani and Gu Yong have divorced!"
Xu Ningyan was dumbfounded. Wait, when did Fang Dani and Gu Yong get married?
