“Do you mean that Chief Zhu already knows about it?” He knew that w.a.n.g Yang had something to do with Zhu Baoguo’s death.
“I guess he has his suspicions. It’s not like going to court. He doesn’t necessarily need to have solid evidence if he has his suspicions.” Chief Zhu had no intention of punis.h.i.+ng w.a.n.g Yang with the law, but that did not mean that he would let the matter slide just like that. Everyone had to pay a price for his own actions. It was just a matter of when that would happen.
He had never expected w.a.n.g Yang to be so ‘capable’ and to have something to do with Zhu Baoguo’s death. Actually, Zhu Chengqi had been the one to tell Zhai Sheng about all these. Zhai Sheng had been rather surprised when he first learned about it too. “Nan Nan, how did you know about Zhu Baoguo’s matter?”
Zhu Chengqi himself had only suspected w.a.n.g Yang so many years after the incident. Nan Nan did not even have anything to do with the Zhu family, so why had she had such suspicions?
Qiao Nan suddenly lost her spirit, as though she had suddenly faced a huge blow. “If I said that I overheard it one day, would you believe me?” She remembered that she had not felt anything on the day of Zhu Baoguo’s death in this lifetime.
That day, she had taken the same path and had heard something going on inside. It seemed like there was a fight going on. Qiao Nan had been frightened by that and had immediately taken another route. When she met someone afterward, she made a mention of that. How was she to know that it had not been a fight but a whole bunch of people beating Zhu Baoguo up?
It was because no one knew that Zhu Baoguo was the one being beaten up that the incident had not attracted much attention in the beginning. By the time someone went over, Zhu Baoguo had already been seriously injured. Seeing that Zhu Baoguo was in a critical condition, the gangsters who had beaten him up immediately fled. By the time Zhu Baoguo was admitted into the hospital, it was too late. Actually, Zhu Baoguo had already lost his vital signs along the way to the hospital.
Because she had been too late, Zhu Baoguo had not been saved like he had been in Qiao Nan’s dream. Qiao Nan had been rather affected by that incident. Perhaps, it was because of this that Qiao Nan had forgotten many things except this in her dream. She had saved Zhu Baoguo to make up for her regrets in the real world.
When Qiao Nan recalled this situation after waking up, she could not help but suspect that w.a.n.g Yang had intended to do something more than ruining her reputation in front of Zhu Chengqi by sending Chen Jun to her. It was because she had found Zhu Baoguo in time that he had been found in time and rescued.
Since Zhu Baoguo was still alive, that meant that w.a.n.g Yang could be exposed at any time. Only when Zhu Baoguo took his last breath and could no longer out him would w.a.n.g Yang cease worrying. Before that, w.a.n.g Yang was being constantly tortured. It was because of that that w.a.n.g Yang had wanted to get his revenge on her and let her have a taste of his fear and suffering.
“So that’s the case.” Zhai Sheng finally understood why Qiao Nan cared so deeply about the Zhu family, why she was particularly stubborn when it came to Zhu Chengqi, and why she hated w.a.n.g Yang so deeply. Anyone who encountered such a situation in their teens would surely have a deep impression of the incident and hate the culprit. Moreover, Zhai Sheng had already found out that w.a.n.g Yang had specifically gotten Chen Jun to create trouble. w.a.n.g Yang had wronged Qiao Nan. “Chief Zhu and I will take care of this. w.a.n.g Yang may still be alive but he won’t have a good life from now on. Sometimes, being alive is worse than dying.”
w.a.n.g Yang had been too ambitious and greedy. Because of that, he had exposed too many of his weaknesses and it would be easy to deal with him. Seeing as to how Chief Zhu’s health was deteriorating by the day, w.a.n.g Yang would probably be rejoicing at this very moment.
Zhai Sheng could not wait to see how w.a.n.g Yang would look once w.a.n.g Yang realized that everything he yearned for that belonged to the Zhu family would never go to him. “The Chen family isn’t very clean. Do you mind?” He had heard that Nan Nan treated the child quite well.
That child was a Chen, and if anything went wrong with the Chen family, that child would definitely be affected.
Qiao Nan had not expected Zhai Sheng to have done so many things for her during her pregnancy. He had even set his target on the Chen family and was only waiting for a chance to deal with them once and for all. “There’s no need to overthink it. Let’s just follow our conscience. If the Chen family is clean, we won’t do anything to them. If they’re not, we can’t be blamed for anything that happens.”
“Alright, I understand.” w.a.n.g Yang and the Chen family were all fair game. Neither of them was close to Nan Nan. Actually, ordinary citizens like Ding Jiayi and Qiao Zijin were harder to deal with. But the relations.h.i.+p between them and Nan Nan was truly too special, and given their statuses, they wouldn’t be able to do anything too heinous anyway. They could simply rely on the law to punish them.
After the couple’s discussion, Zhai Sheng asked Qiao Nan not to think about these matters anymore and to rest.
Coincidentally, Qiao Zijin, who had been worrying about having no chance to get close to Qiao Nan, and having Qiao Dongliang hang up on her the moment she mentioned moving in with him, received a call from the most unlikely person. “h.e.l.lo, who are you?”
Initially, Qiao Zijin had not wanted to pick up the call from the unfamiliar number. This phone number was not only unfamiliar, but it was not even from Ping Cheng. She knew no one from that city that this phone number was from, so Qiao Zijin rejected it without much thought. The strange thing was that the other party had called her three separate times. That was why Qiao Zijin had finally picked up the call.
“It’s me.”
This voice was so foreign that Qiao Zijin almost couldn’t remember it. “It’s you? Did the sun rise in the west today? Why are you calling me? That’s not right. You got a new number and mine is new too. How did you get my number?”
Chen Jun touched his forehead. “Have you forgotten which sector I work in?” As someone in the government sector, it was not difficult for him to look up such information. All he had to do was make a call to the local police station in Ping Cheng to ask for the Qiao family’s details.
“Hehehe…” Qiao Zijin sneered. “It’s been a year. Why are you suddenly calling me?” If he had nothing, Chen Jun would probably hope never to see her ever again in his life.. In this one year that they’d been apart, Qiao Zijin had already gotten used to that.
