Chapter 166 The Purpose of Reporting to the Police
Zhou Yuzhi fell silent, his eyes filled with terror.
Only today did he truly doubt whether Gu Ruanci knew everything about that incident from beginning to end?
He didn't dare to verify it. After all, this incident would bring the entire Zhou family into ruin.
Zhou Yuxiu frowned and said, "Gu Ruanci, don't think that just because you're the county lord you can talk nonsense and accuse the Zhou family of such a serious crime."
"If not, go dig up the grave and open the coffin to find out..."
Gu Ruanci's expression didn't change. Dealing with these people from the Zhou family was really child's play.
"Are you still human? Grandmother has been laid to rest!"
Zhou Yuxiu said something again, his tone suddenly becoming stronger.
"What are you afraid of? If you don't want me to expose your secrets, then keep your mouth shut. If I wasn't preventing you from blaming our restaurant in the future, I wouldn't bother reporting this to the police."
Ye Chengchu, who had no seat outside, watched all this coldly. He had been shocked for a long time.
That restaurant had earned the Ye family a lot of money in the past. When Ye Chengchu returned the restaurant, he had a selfish motive because he knew that the restaurant needed repairs.
Gu Ruanci also glanced outside jokingly, and when she saw Ye Chengchu, she felt even more proud.
"Actually, there's something I forgot to mention. When the Ye family returned my mother's dowry, I don't know if someone tampered with the wood upstairs out of spite. That's why I was worried it wouldn't be strong enough and wanted to repair it, so I never opened it upstairs. And the third son of the Ye family insisted on going upstairs. Could it be that he already knew what had been tampered with, and took advantage of this opportunity—"
"Gu Ruanci, you are slandering me!"
Shang Hongmian was anxious. When she heard what Gu Ruanci said, she knew that she was going to drag both of her sons into the water.
Ye Chi held her down. Although he was also angry, he still maintained his composure on the surface.
"County Lady, are you saying this to suspect that our Ye family has been planning to kill our in-laws?"
Gu Ruanci answered directly, "That's what you said yourself. I didn't express it that way. I just reasonably suspect that the Ye family was dissatisfied when they returned my mother's dowry and deliberately sabotaged it. As a result, it was a coincidence that the third son of the Ye family ran into him and killed the third son of the Zhou family. The former is a bold guess based on my understanding of the Ye family. The Ye family can refute it. The latter is a fact. The Ye family can also discuss with the Zhou family how to cover up when the matter is announced to the public. I said that the purpose of coming here to report to the authorities today is simple, to confirm that this incident has no connection with our restaurant in the past, present and future."
After she finished speaking, she deliberately turned her head and looked at Zhou Zhili and said, "As for Mr. Zhou's death, no matter how the Zhou family wants to talk to the Ye family, it has nothing to do with me."
Zhou Zhili couldn't help but say, "You really are so cold-blooded. That's your third brother."
"That's hilarious! Lord Zhou, do you think I'm forgetful? When did Young Master Zhou, who previously said he only had one sister, Zhou Qinzhu, become my third brother? I've already met the Zhou family's demands. I'll never set foot in your family, nor will I consider myself a member of your family. Why are you unhappy?"
"Do you really think the Zhou family is such a great place, that everyone has to be humble, that no matter how you insult me, I have to be proud to be a member of the Zhou family. No matter how the Zhou family treats me, I firmly believe in my heart that I am a member of the Zhou family? Lord Zhou, are you dreaming?"
"The murderer who killed your son is right here," Gu Ruanci pointed at Ye Chengyun, then at Zhou Qinzhu, "This is the source of all the trouble. You didn't dare to get angry with them, and didn't think about seeking justice for your son. But you accused me of being cold-blooded just because a stranger like me didn't feel sad. Are you fucking mentally ill? Do you want to dig your mother out of the ground and ask her if her face and brain were thrown away in a purple river cart when she gave birth to you?"
Even someone like Gu Yutang, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had seen life and death, could not help but burst out laughing when he heard these words.
This little sister has a sharp tongue, but she is really cute.
Zhou Zhili was speechless on the spot, his face full of anger.
The people were already boiling with anger. The Zhou family kept harping on Gu Ruanci, which seemed unreasonable no matter how you looked at it.
"Alright, Your Excellency, I'm sorry to trouble you. Expecting these idiots who can't tell the difference between right and wrong to compensate for our restaurant's losses is probably impossible. I'll be merciful and treat that money as a contribution to the funeral of the third son of the Zhou family. I'm fine now, I'll be leaving now. The rest is up to you to discuss among yourselves."
After saying that, Gu Ruanci walked out directly.
Gu Yutang followed and when he passed by Zhou Zhili, he gave him a deliberate look.
In this battle, Gu Ruanci crushed the three of them from beginning to end, which was really gratifying.
No matter what others say in the future, Gu Ruanci has indeed won a great victory today.
After leaving the government office, Gu Yutang said, "Little sister, it was really satisfying to scold them just now, but be careful, it's easy to get married..."
Gu Ruanci said very soberly, "Brother, don't worry. Even if it's just because I'm the daughter of the Gu family, there will be many people flocking to me. What's more, I'm the Princess of Chaoyang County, personally appointed by the royal family. As for Xiao Yixian and Qin Ji, they can naturally attract quite a few people. As long as I'm not sincerely single, I won't have trouble finding a husband."
Gu Yutang shook his head. His younger sister was too clear-headed. For someone of her age, it must have taken a lot of hardship to develop this ability.
However, he was also thankful for his younger sister's current condition, otherwise how could he fight against the shameless people in the Zhou family?
"Have you been on guard against them since you took over the restaurant?" Gu Yutang asked.
Gu Ruanci didn't deny it and said, "People deserve to be treated the way they are. How could I let the Ye family off easily when they plotted against me like this? Although it was Ye Chengyun who suffered the loss this time, the one who really wanted to kill people and harm me was Ye Chengchu. This business genius of the Ye family, I don't know how tough his life is."
Gu Yutang understood the meaning of Gu Ruanci's words, but did not stop her.
"Little sister, go ahead and do it. Our Gu family will always be your support. But don't let these people make you unhappy."
The next day, word spread throughout Dizhou City that the third son of the Zhou family had been drinking alone because he was upset. When Zhou Qinzhu and Ye Chengyun went to persuade him, there was a misunderstanding. Zhou Yuqi, momentarily upset, went to the window and, in a fit of rage, kicked it hard, causing him to fall...
Everyone had their own opinions on this statement and knew what the Zhou and Ye families wanted them to believe. Anyway, Ye Chengyun had been sent to his uncle in Longjiang overnight...
