For a scoundrel like Zhan Heping, if he is given a chance to turn things around, who knows how many evil things he will do in the future.
In Yuan Jie's memory, although Professor Zhou finally found his abducted daughter Zhou Yue, the old couple were already in their twilight years and could not withstand any hardship or blow.
Because of the long time since the incident, and the fact that Zhou Yue was in very poor mental and physical condition when he was found, the police did not suspect Zhan Heping when they solved the case. This man was still carrying out his shameful activities while maintaining a glamorous identity.
So Sun Aimin thought that it would be great if he could lock down this person and the Zhan gang this time.
After having a preliminary idea, Sun Aimin contacted Professor Zhou.
On the phone, Sun Aimin said, "Professor Zhou, this is what I think. Based on the current evidence, Zhan Heping is a first-time offender. However, he's from Zhanjiazhuang, and I've heard the people there aren't clean. His family all lives in the village, and there's a high probability they've been involved in trafficking women and children."
Although we don't have any evidence of involvement of other people in Zhanjiazhuang, the Zhan family would definitely prefer to protect their daughter and son-in-law over Zhan Heping. If we leave them a loophole, it's not impossible for them to make Zhan Heping take the blame..."
Professor Zhou pondered for a moment and said, "You mean, let them fight each other? That's a good idea. My daughter has been harmed by them like this. Even if they were all shot, it wouldn't ease the hatred in my heart."
Sun Aimin continued, "You said before that the Zhan family was using connections, but the routes are blocked, so they can't get any information from inside. I think we should change our strategy now and leave a small opening for the Zhan family, so that they can squeeze in whenever they can!"
Professor Zhou responded, "I know what to do. I'll say hello to my friends and give those beasts some extra spice!"

In order to find out the news about Zhan Jinhua and his wife, the Zhan family gave many gifts to their protectors.
This protective umbrella is Guo Hong, the director of the Jiangyuan City Public Security Bureau. Although he cannot control the affairs of Mafang City, they all belong to the same system, so it is much easier for him to obtain some information than for others.
However, he had hit a snag this time. He heard that the case of Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou was under the supervision of the province and the case was complicated, so he did not dare to show it too obviously.
Things soon took a turn for the better. He learned from an acquaintance at the Mafang Municipal Bureau that the case of Zhan Jinhua and Qian Jindou had been basically sorted out. If nothing unexpected happened, the couple would be sentenced to life imprisonment even if they were not shot.
Whether it was good news or bad news, he finally got the news. He immediately called the Zhan family and revealed the latest news he had received to them.
When Mrs. Zhan heard that her eldest daughter might be sentenced to death, her legs trembled. Fortunately, her son supported her in time and she did not fall.
Facing Zhan Dayou who was smoking, Mrs. Zhan choked up and said, "Old man, please think of another way to rescue your daughter."
Zhan Dayou remained silent, and their second son, Zhan Baoyu, spoke up, "Mom, we've thought of all the possible solutions. This time, the matter has become a big deal, and the higher-ups are supervising it. If we make any more moves, we might end up in jail too.
I think we should wait a little longer until the verdict comes out."
Old lady Zhan cried and said, "So we're just going to ignore your sister? Hey, I had a good plan. I wanted Heping to come back and discuss it. I wanted to give their family more money and let him take the blame for your sister and your brother-in-law. In the past, this matter would have been easy to handle, but now, what do you say... Hey..."
Old Man Zhan was a little annoyed when he heard Old Lady Zhan crying and sighing. He said impatiently, "Alright, alright, why are you crying? The person is not dead yet. Let's wait for news from Director Guo. Now that he can find out, he will definitely find a way to learn more.
Baoyu, Baoku, you two should go to the city tomorrow and see Director Guo. Ask him if there's anything we can do. Show some sincerity and don't let him take risks and work in vain."
After hearing their father's arrangement, Zhan Baoyu and Zhan Baoku hurriedly nodded in agreement.
