This thin, small boy was Gao Hu.
He was present when Xiao Jian was arrested, but he was a nobody and his words carried no weight. Even if he wanted to say a few good words for Xiao Jian, it wouldn't make any difference.
He couldn't understand how things had suddenly turned out this way, just when Xiao Jian's life was starting to improve.
Gao Hu was so anxious he didn't know what to do. Xiao Jian had never mentioned his family to him, and he didn't know how to contact them.
Having neither money nor connections, there was absolutely no way I could help Xiao Jian.
Just as he was pacing anxiously, he suddenly remembered someone.
His only friend with Xiao Jian was Zhang Huihui.
Zhang Huihui is the factory director's daughter. If she were willing to plead with the factory director on Xiao Jian's behalf, the director might take pity on him and let him go.
With that thought in mind, he ran towards Zhang Huihui's school, hoping to find her as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, he was hit by Xiao Weiguo's car as soon as he stepped out.
Gao Hu's heart calmed down a little when Xiao Weiguo said that he was Xiao Jian's older brother.
Judging from Xiao Weiguo's attire and his incredibly impressive car, he could tell that Xiao Weiguo was no ordinary person and might have a way to rescue Xiao Jian.
"Sigh, don't even mention it."
Gao Hu slapped his thigh and, trying to pick out the important parts, recounted everything that had happened to Xiao Jian over the past year.
Xiao Weiguo listened silently, his expression shifting between light and dark.
He never imagined that his younger brother would be living such a life for the past year or so.
He originally thought that he could communicate with Liu Qing frequently, and judging from Liu Qing's behavior, Xiao Jian should be doing alright outside, so he didn't push Liu Qing too hard.
If I had known this would happen, I would have continued using my second-rate methods, even if it meant beating up Liu Qing, just to force him to reveal Xiao Jian's whereabouts.
It was too late to say anything now. This only intensified his guilt towards Xiao Jian.
When Gao Hu talked about Zhang Jinliang's performance in the past few days and the reason why Xiao Jian was arrested, Xiao Weiguo, who had decades of experience from his previous life, immediately realized that this matter was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.
There must be a reason why someone who is used to exploiting others suddenly becomes incredibly compassionate. There is no love without a cause.
After Gao Hu finished speaking, Xiao Weiguo suppressed the urge to immediately go to the police station to find Xiao Jian and forced himself to calm down.
Besides, he knew his younger brother Xiao Jian very well. Although he was a bit rebellious and stubborn, his character was impeccable; he had never laid a finger on anyone since childhood.
Even when we were starving a few years ago, we never stole food from other people's fields.
Moreover, he has just been promoted, and people at this point wouldn't ruin their future.
Xiao Weiguo believed that he would never do something like stealing money.
After carefully analyzing the situation, he asked Gao Hu.
"You just said you were going to see Zhang Huihui. Is this Zhang Huihui close to Xiao Jian?"
Gao Hu nodded.
"Sister Hui is usually very kind to us. She often brings us food and other necessities. When we are short of money, she will give us her own pocket money to use and never asks us to pay it back."
Hearing this, Xiao Weiguo probably already had a general idea of what was going on.
This is a drama of prematurely breaking up a loving couple.
Xiao Weiguo is not a greenhorn like Xiao Jian and Gao Hu; his life experience is more than ten Gao Hus combined.
After thinking it over, he was quite certain that this was a good show written and directed by Zhang Jinliang.
Including that so-called thousand yuan, it's very likely that only he himself knows its whereabouts.
He cried wolf, and Xiao Jian had no choice but to take the blame.
Alright, fine. Zhang Jinliang, who schemed against my brother Xiao Weiguo, your good days are over.
Xiao Weiguo gritted his teeth.
Right now, the most important thing is to rescue Xiao Jian. As for Zhang Jinliang, we'll settle accounts with him later.
He looked up at Gao Hu and said, "Brother Gao Hu, thank you. You don't need to go looking for Zhang Huihui for now. I'm going to the police station now. Trust me, I can get Xiao Jian out soon."
He could tell that Gao Hu and his brother were true friends; otherwise, Gao Hu wouldn't have been so anxious when Xiao Jian got into trouble.
He wanted to ask Zhang Huihui for help, but it just goes to show how young he was.
Since Zhang Jinliang has already done such a thing, even if his daughter begs him, he cannot let Xiao Jian go at this time. Otherwise, it would be a false accusation, and he would be the one who gets arrested.
"Really?"
Gao Hu didn't know what Xiao Weiguo's plan was, and he was still a little hesitant and uncertain.
"Can I go with you to the police station? I want to see Xiao Jian."
You can tell he's genuinely worried about his good friend.
Xiao Weiguo did not refuse and asked Jiao Bai to drive the car over, and then got in with Gao Hu.
Guided by Gao Hu, they quickly arrived at the police station.
After parking the car, the group walked into the police station courtyard together.
After learning their purpose, the police officer who received them told Xiao Weiguo that Xiao Jian was denying that he took the money, but he couldn't explain the origin of the 1,000 yuan, only saying that it was sent to him by a friend named Liu Qing.
When the topic of the thousand yuan came up, Xiao Weiguo remembered it.
During the Chinese New Year, he wanted to give Liu Qing a thousand yuan as a New Year's gift, but at first Liu Qing insisted on not accepting it. Later, for some reason, she suddenly accepted it.
Looking back now, I realize that this money must have been the one Liu Qing sent to Xiao Jian back then.
Xiao Weiguo asked the police officer.
"Can I see my brother now?"
The comrade shook his head.
“Not now. At least we need to prove the origin of that money before Xiao Jian can be cleared of half of the suspicion. Before that, it’s impossible to see him.”
(Regarding the process of arresting and releasing Xiao Jian, the author dares not write too much, as the book is currently under censorship and could easily be censored. Therefore, the author can only simplify it as much as possible. Please bear with the author. Just know that this is necessary for the plot, and don't take it too seriously. Thank you.)
Xiao Weiguo had no choice but to come out and think of another solution.
"Jiao Bai, go back to Shang County now and find Liu Qing and Hu Haibo from the Municipal Bureau. Tell them about the situation here and ask them to come with you immediately, no matter what."
The only person who can prove the origin of this money is Liu Qing. If we just call him over, we can explain where the money came from. If that doesn't work, we can check the remittance records at the post office based on what Liu Qing said. This shouldn't be too difficult to handle.
The difficulty lies in figuring out how to get Zhang Jinliang to drop the false accusation against Xiao Jian.
Now that he's done this, he certainly won't give in easily.
As for calling Hu Haibo, it was simply because he was part of the same system as the local public security bureau, making communication easier.
Jiao Bai didn't say much, and drove back to Shang County.
After he left, Xiao Weiguo and Gao Hu started chatting.
"Young man, you said you were going to find Zhang Huihui. Can you take me there now?"
Xiao Weiguo didn't know Zhang Jinliang, so if he wanted to find a breakthrough by talking to him, his daughter Zhang Huihui would be a good choice.
Gao Hu nodded in agreement. Because they were in a hurry, the two hailed a pedicab on the street and headed towards Zhang Huihui's school.
