After hearing Ning Hao's words, the old lady Dong Kaizhen was furious. Gu Zhihong was, after all, her half-apprentice, and they liked Gu Zhixuan as well, treating him like their own child. These bastards, hitting him without warning, made her furious, let alone Gu Hanting and the others.
"I think this is a good idea, I'll go with you."
Dong Kaizhen was also a passionate young woman, and now she looks down on those who make a mess of things. Moreover, the one who got hurt was her own child whom she had watched grow up. It wouldn't be her style not to help.
Besides, those people deserve a lesson. Why should they be allowed to fight for power when those bastards were still hiding in some back alley?
"Old Hou was arrested by those bastards a couple of days ago."
Ning Hao was stunned. "What? They've been arrested? Where are they?"
Dong Kaizhen patted Ning Hao's arm. "You child, what's the rush? Let me finish. They did manage to catch it, but our kids snatched it back."
You know what, he was just going to process his retirement, and those bastards actually caused a scene at his workplace. The old man was really unlucky to run into them, and now he's in trouble.
That old man has a really bad temper. The two groups started fighting. Although we were outnumbered, luckily everyone on our side was incredibly strong, so Old Hou was unharmed.
Don't worry, Grandpa has been packing things at home these past few days. He said he's preparing things for your wedding. I guess once he's all ready, it'll be time for him to go to the countryside.
Haozi, I need to discuss something with you. You said the kids are all grown up, and not having a job isn't a good thing. I wanted to talk to you about how to arrange things.”
Ning Hao had indeed heard Jiang Qiao mention this before. "The day Qiao'er woke up, she mentioned something to me, and it was the same thing you were worried about. That's why I've been busy recovering lately and haven't had time to deal with this matter."
We've all made up our minds. We'll open a restaurant here, under the name of Gujia Village. Those who don't have jobs will help out as waiters. It'll be convenient to bring over vegetables and other supplies from the countryside.
As for how to do it, we can sit down and discuss these things after we've dealt with the current issues. After all, these children are all from rural areas, and it's impossible to arrange jobs for them all. We'll have to figure it out ourselves.
Auntie, I need to go take care of something with Chen Fang first. You wait for Jiang Qiao to come over, okay?
After leaving Gu Zhixuan with Dong Kaizhen, Ning Hao hurriedly went to report to Chen Fang. The two of them still needed to discuss the matter, especially the person Chen Fang had asked him to investigate.
"What? You mean that person is someone the other party doesn't even know, and that they used someone else's name to establish a relationship with him?"
Ning Hao nodded. "I investigated thoroughly. That man wasn't related to anyone. He just used the pretense of being a relative of the leader to get involved with the other party, and that's how he got people to attack Yang Anxiu."
"What do you think we should do next? This connection is completely severed, I think. These people are really ruthless; they can come up with any method."
Chen Fang sighed, "I didn't expect it to turn out like this. I'll remind Yang Anxiu to be careful and watch out for people around her."
Also, the person you asked me to investigate, I've done it for you, take a look—”
After saying that, he handed Ning Hao a piece of paper, but he was still a little worried. "Remember, don't be reckless. There's no benefit in going head-to-head with them. That's the situation right now. It's not just Gu Zhengkai's problem. There are quite a few people in similar situations to him. Even those with higher positions than him are in the same boat. I advise you not to have too much hope."
Ning Hao glanced at the contents of the note, then put it away.
He raised an eyebrow and said, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. But I am the eldest uncle after all, and I can't ignore this matter. As for what happens to others, I can't take care of that."
How's the investigation into Lao Yang's case going?
Chen Fang shook his head with a worried expression. "There's no progress. We still don't know who did it."
However, the fact that Gu Zhengkai's business trip ended in trouble makes one wonder. The people over there are already investigating, but whether they can catch him is still uncertain.
Ning Hao remembered Jiang Qiao's instructions: "By the way, Lao Chen, how are Zhang Erhu and his wife? Are they alright?"
Chen Fang said with a sigh, "I really admire Jiang Qiao for this. It's been so long, and she still remembers it. This girl is so loyal and devoted."
Currently, both of them are in relatively good health. We have delivered the medicine that Grandpa Qiao got to them, but ultimately, their health is not as good as that of a normal person.
By the way, your marriage application has been approved. When are you going to have the wedding? Has the date been set yet?
Ning Hao shook his head. "Jiang Qiao just woke up and her body still needs some time to recover. I'll let you know once things are settled. You can't escape me."
Chen Fang glanced at Ning Hao and said, "Jiang Qiao is awake now, shouldn't you be going to work?"
Ning Hao smiled and said, "I'm not going. You guys should continue your temporary assignments. I'm worried about Jiang Qiao being alone. She's my future wife, after all. I can't bear to see her get into any more trouble. For now, I need to help her find out who's behind this. We can't be married and still have to be on guard all the time, can we?"
I see that the other party is already taking action. I don't even believe that there's any trace of that lone wolf in my uncle's case.
What should I do next?
Chen Fang shook his head. "I won't give you any tasks for now. Help Jiang Qiao resolve her family issues. With her family in turmoil, Jiang Qiao simply doesn't have the extra energy to investigate Lone Wolf."
If Jiang Qiao hadn't gotten into trouble back then, this guy might have been dug out by Jiang Qiao long ago.
Speaking of this, Chen Fang also looked regretful. When it comes to finding enemy spies, this girl is simply a genius. She has this sensitive nerve innately, and even he admits that he is not as good as her.
As they were talking, Ning Hao was surprised to find Jiang Qiao had come looking for him. Seeing Jiang Qiao standing prettily in front of him, Chen Fang couldn't help but get excited, even though he already knew that the girl had recovered.
"Good, good, good. It's good that you can stand up. Jiang Qiao, you have not let us down. This time, if the enemy knows that you have fully recovered, they will probably be terrified."
Jiang Qiao was very modest. "Old Chen, this is no way to praise someone. After hearing what you said, aren't you afraid that I'll fly to the sky?"
Chen Fang patted Jiang Qiao on the shoulder and said earnestly, "You are not that kind of person at all. No amount of praise is too much for you. The little girl from back then has grown into a young woman. Time really flies."
"Girl, now that you're all better, what are your plans? Are you going to make a comeback?"
Jiang Qiao smiled and joked, "You know best what situation I'm in right now. I'm in trouble both at home and abroad, so I need to arrange things at home before I have the energy to deal with that grandson."
"Old Chen, I came here for two reasons. First, I wanted to see you. Second, I wanted to ask you for some advice. Given my position, what should I do if someone threatens my life?"
