The two had just stepped out when they ran into Gu Dashan, who had also just sneaked out of his room.
Gu Dashan spent a long time coaxing Yang Dongmei to sleep before he dared to sneak out.
He wanted to resolve everything so that he could leave without any worries.
Unbeknownst to him, Yang Dongmei opened her eyes the instant he opened the door and went out, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
After decades of marriage, how could she not understand him?
Through the crack in the window, she saw that her third son had also gone out, and her heart, which had been pounding, finally eased a little.
Brothers fight tigers together, fathers and sons go to war together.
However, she didn't see that Jiang Jinxiu was completely blocked by Gu Xichen, otherwise she would have been worried.
Gu Xichen and Jiang Jinxiu were surprised to see Gu Dashan, but they also felt that it was reasonable.
The group of them crouched down and quietly slipped out of the Gu family's house.
Led by Chengzi, the group found Zhu Dachang hiding in an abandoned house in the county town.
The house looked very dilapidated from the outside, but once you went inside...
It was exceptionally spacious and bright, and even the furniture was made of mahogany.
Zhu Dachang was fast asleep on the large bed at the very back.
There were several people guarding the door for him outside.
Those men were tall and burly, clearly part of the same group he had brought earlier.
The table in front of his bed was covered with all sorts of food.
Many of them were only eaten halfway before being thrown away.
It can be described as extremely extravagant and wasteful.
After knocking down the men at the door and confirming that there was no one else in the room, Gu Dashan and his men pulled Zhu Dachang off the bed.
Zhu Dachang was instantly terrified.
Just as he was about to shout, Gu Xichen quickly covered his mouth.
He was still using his own smelly socks.
After they beat him up and calmed down a bit, they began to torture him to extract a confession.
Zhu Dachang is a typical bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong.
They are also extremely afraid of dying.
Finally, Zhu Dachang, who was afraid of dying, told them everything they had done.
He even revealed who had helped him.
What surprised Jiang Jinxiu and the others the most was that Zhu Dachang actually had a record book of social interactions.
It is said to be in a hidden compartment under his bed.
The group then secretly went to the Zhu family again and took out the notebook that Zhu Dachang had mentioned.
They were all shocked when they saw the records inside.
No wonder Zhu Dachang could do whatever he wanted in town; it turns out his network of connections was exceptionally large, even including the former police chief.
The notebook clearly records what he gave to whom, and what those people did for him.
Over the years, these records and events have accumulated enough to keep him in jail for a long time.
It's clear that he's very rich, and his money is all tainted.
Jiang Jinxiu and her group searched the Zhu family's house thoroughly, and finally found several notebooks in the rooms of Zhu Laoda and Zhu Laoer.
Like father, like son.
They all like to record what they have done.
However, the stories written by Zhu Laoda and Zhu Laoer are truly mind-blowing.
In particular, Zhu Laoda's notebook contained records of the children's names, ages, feelings, and how they died...
The more I look at it, the more horrifying it becomes.
He's a disgrace to society, unworthy of being human.
Finally, they escorted Zhu Dachang to the entrance of the Public Security Bureau.
The police station was still brightly lit, as the incidents that occurred one after another during the day kept them so busy that they had no time to rest.
Gu Dashan then approached Wang Xiangqian.
He personally handed over the people and these notebooks to Wang Xiangqian.
They don't trust anyone else.
Wang Xiangqian was both shocked and surprised to see them.
"Brother, I'm entrusting the man to you. You should also clean up some of the parasites."
Gu Dashan's words shocked Wang Xiangqian, and he was even more astonished when he saw the contents of the notebook.
However, he had always suspected that there were corrupt officials there, but since he had just taken office and his network of contacts was not yet established, he had a lot to do and few people he could rely on, which is why the results of the investigation and evidence collection had been delayed.
The information that Gu Dashan and his team provided him this time was a great help.
Jiang Jinxiu had a premonition.
After this, there will be a major cleanup in Punan Town, a cleanup from top to bottom.
After another night of this, the three of them were exhausted.
Gu Xichen, in particular, had very red eyes, bloodshot red, which was very noticeable.
Jiang Jinxiu just wanted to get home quickly so her man could get a good night's sleep.
However, on the way back, her father-in-law, Gu Dashan, told them some more news.
He will be away for a while.
Back at the Gu family home, Jiang Jinxiu spent time with the father and son before going back to her room to rest.
"Father, are you going back to complete the mission from back then?"
Gu Dashan nodded. "Yes, so many years have passed, I don't know how many people still remember, but this is our mission as soldiers."
He looked at his youngest son, who had grown taller than him, with eyes full of relief: "Now that Dad's gone, the family is counting on you."
I won't ask you why you came back this time, but as a man, you should take on more responsibility for things at home; it's something we owe them.
Your wife is very capable. Tell her to use it less in the future, so it doesn't get exposed..."
Gu Xichen felt a mix of emotions.
The father and son didn't chat for long before going back to their respective rooms.
Gu Dashan told her everything he needed to know, especially about Jiang Jinxiu. He repeatedly instructed her not to let anyone else know about her special characteristics, for her safety. Of course, Jiang Jinxiu was unaware of all this.
All she knew was that in the days following his departure, her mother-in-law, Yang Dongmei, had a poor appetite.
He is also absent-minded when doing things.
He would glance towards the doorway every now and then.
But this doesn't change the fact that Gu Dashan has already left.
On the day the house construction began, twenty villagers came to help.
Jiang Jinxiu only found out after asking that Gu Dashan had arranged all of this for them before he left.
The people he hired were all highly skilled builders.
In their time, building houses required mutual assistance.
If you build a house, I'll help you; if I build a house, you'll help me.
Lunch and dinner are included.
People in this era don't ask for much; they just need to fill their stomachs.
Gu Xichen only found out that his father had arranged manpower for him when Gu Dashan told him that day. Even the red bricks he needed to build the house had been arranged for him. All he had to do was go over and tell them how many red bricks they needed, and they would bring them over.
His father, Gu Dashan, had secretly helped him establish all the connections.
Although he was not physically present, he was still supporting them in his own way.
