Gu Chen did not participate in Shu Ke's interrogation, but he also got some results from it.
The island defender did collect Shu Ke's account book and hid it in a secret location. This aroused Shu Ke's idea of getting rid of the accountant and the island defender.
And Village Chief Liu really wanted to save the old man in his village. After all, he only owed gambling debts and embezzled public funds, and he could not commit the crime of taking human life.
It was the last bit of humanity driven by Village Chief Liu that made him intercede for the old man who was guarding the island, and finally everyone ended up in a stalemate like this.
The accountant is Shu Ke's biggest danger, so these days, Shu Ke has spared no effort to find him, but accountant Zhang He cleverly used Zhang Li and Gu Jun to get them involved successfully.
Originally, he wanted to use two college students to take risks for him, but later he alerted Gu Chen's Jiangnan City police.
Eventually, the inside story of this industry chain was exposed.
Accountant Zhang He finally realized that no matter how hard he tried to evade, he could not escape the police's pursuit.
Simply explain everything.
But it is a pity that the old man who guarded the island was killed by the people sent by Shuke.
…
…
Returning to Jiangnan City, Gu Chen and Zhang Guozhi hurried home after reporting their work.
Gu Baichuan and Xiao Xiaofang at home had already prepared various meals and were waiting for their son's return.
"Mom! I'm back." Gu Chen opened the door with the key and consciously took out the slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on.
"Son, did your business trip go well?" Xiao Xiaofang asked with concern after seeing her son leave Jiangnan City for a few days.
"It's okay, it's not a big problem." Gu Chen came to the living room and poured himself a glass of water.
Gu Baichuan, who was cooking in the kitchen, turned his head and said with a smile:
"Is that boy Gu Jun okay?"
"He? He should be fine." Gu Chen trailed off and continued to take a sip of water.
At this moment, Gu Baichuan also brought the last plate of fried beef to the table, then took off his apron and said:
"The uncle from your hometown also called me several times to say thank you, saying that his son Gu Jun was able to come back safely. I really want to thank you, Gu Chen."
Taking a deep breath, Gu Baichuan also said with emotion: "It's still too dangerous outside, it's better to stay in my hometown and develop."
"Oh, right." After hearing what Gu Baichuan said, Gu Chen quickly asked him:
"Then will this uncle still agree to Gu Jun's development?"
"No way?" Gu Baichuan shook his head and couldn't help but say:
"At least for the next two years, he will not allow his son Gu Jun to go out. Maybe for the next two years, he will let Gu Jun stay in his hometown and help him develop greenhouse vegetables, right?"
"It just so happens that your uncle is also short of manpower. In the past, I always felt that after my son graduated from college and became promising, he had to go out and make a living."
"But now it seems that this is a false proposition. This scare scared your uncle so much that he almost lost a son."
"Yes." After Gu Baichuan finished speaking, Xiao Xiaofang couldn't help but say:
"This was originally to support his son's active development of personal interests and hobbies, and then to train his son's independent character."
"But his son Gu Jun's character is too weird. He always thinks about some weird things."
"Normally speaking, most people wouldn't be able to do this job as an island guard, but this guy wants to give it a try."
Shaking her head, Xiao Xiaofang also looked helpless: "It can be seen that some things are true power."
"There are a lot of scammers out there now. After the old fraud methods are cracked down, new fraud methods will appear. It's really hard to guard against."
"But it's not a bad thing for Gu Jun to stay here." When his mother Xiao Xiaofang felt sorry for Gu Jun, Gu Chen interrupted.
Xiao Xiaofang's expression was stunned and she quickly asked: "What? You don't think it's a bad thing?"
"Yeah." Gu Chen nodded silently, picked up the chopsticks on the table, picked up the beef on the plate to have a taste, and then gave a thumbs up to his father Gu Baichuan:
"Dad, your cooking skills for stir-fried beef seem to have improved a lot. It's much more delicious than last time."
"Really?" Seeing his son praising him, Gu Baichuan also said happily:
"Hey, I discussed it with a chef and added some special seasonings."
"No wonder it's so delicious." Seeing this, Gu Chen also agreed.
But at this moment, Xiao Xiaofang couldn't sit still. She immediately interrupted the conversation between father and son and continued to ask:
"Son, what did you say about Gu Jun just now? Is there something going on?"
"Uh, actually it's nothing." Seeing that his mother Xiao Xiaofang was so obsessed with gossip, Gu Chen didn't hide it and quickly replied:
"Do you know why Gu Jun stumbled this time?"
"He was cheated, his father said so," Xiao Xiaofang said.
Gu Chen nodded silently and asked: "Then do you know why he was deceived? He is such a smart person."
"I don't know, maybe I was careless?" Xiao Xiaofang shook her head like a rattle.
Gu Baichuan immediately became interested. After quickly sitting down, he asked Gu Chen:
"Son, just tell me what you know."
"It's nothing." Gu Chen grinned and quickly explained:
"He was deceived this time because he unconditionally believed in his childhood sweetheart female classmate."
"Childhood sweetheart?"
"Female classmate?"
Hearing what Gu Chen said, Xiao Xiaofang and Gu Baichuan suddenly felt a little interesting.
As a result, the two people's unbearable gossip hearts suddenly became active again.
Xiao Xiaofang approached Gu Chen and reminded her, "Son, what's going on with these two people?"
"Yes, childhood sweetheart, that should be my girlfriend, right?"
"It wasn't before, but now, it's hard to say." Gu Chen also gave it up and went to eat other dishes.
Xiao Xiaofang said "tsk" and asked Gu Chen: "Son, are this Gu Jun and his childhood sweetheart female classmate together?"
"Well, this duck tastes good too." Gu Chen deliberately dropped the subject and ate the duck meat.
"Tsk!" Seeing her son starting to cheer her up, Xiao Xiaofang immediately became anxious. She quickly patted Gu Chen on the shoulder and continued to ask:
"Is that so?"
"Yes." Gu Chen didn't hide it this time. He felt that it was almost a joke, so he put down his chopsticks, turned to look at his parents, and said:
"The two have always been very good friends before. After all, they are childhood sweethearts, so they have a very good relationship."
"But the two of them may not have thought about it before, especially Gu Jun's childhood sweetheart female classmate, named Zhang Li, who has always regarded Gu Jun as a buddy."
"Until Gu Jun didn't analyze the authenticity of the job too much for Zhang Li, and they were arrested together."
"Gu Jun felt that he might not survive, so he mustered up the courage to confess to his childhood sweetheart."
"Ah? That's it?" Xiao Xiaofang was also stunned for a moment when she heard her son telling a story that only appeared on TV.
Gu Baichuan suppressed a smile and said, "What do you mean this is it? Isn't this exciting enough?"
"Two young people, when life and death were at stake, the boy finally mustered up the courage to confess his love to the girl."
"What's more, the boy was arrested because of the girl. Isn't this situation enough to dare to take action?"
"That's right." After listening to what Gu Chen and Gu Baichuan said, Xiao Xiaofang thought about it and felt pretty good.
So he quickly asked Gu Chen: "Eh? Son, did these two get together in the end?"
"Maybe we're together?" Gu Chen continued to eat his food, feeling that he was revealing too much gossip confidence?
After all, with my mother Xiao Xiaofang's quick-talking personality, it will soon be known to everyone in my hometown.
And Xiao Xiaofang also smiled because she had these talking points, and asked hurriedly:
"Can't you make it clearer?"
"I can't explain this clearly." Gu Chen picked up the water glass again, took a sip of water, and then said:
"The two of them said this in the hospital. As for Zhang Li, everyone thought she was still in a coma at the time, but in fact, it was because of our arrival that she seemed a little embarrassed."
"Then, he continued to pretend to be asleep even though he was clearly awake."
"And Gu Jun told us everything about how he and Zhang Li were imprisoned in the dark room."
"At that time, we realized that it was because of this that Gu Jun became a little slow and did not even seriously review the recruitment company."
"Love brain, typical love brain." When Gu Baichuan heard this, he waved his chopsticks teasingly.
Xiao Xiaofang, on the other hand, said angrily: "How can this be called love brain? I think this kid Gu Jun is affectionate and righteous."
After the words fell, Gu Baichuan looked at Gu Chen again and asked, "Then Gu Jun will stay here in his hometown from now on. What about his girlfriend Zhang Li?"
"I guess I won't leave either." Gu Chen ate some dishes and said slowly:
"They have contacted me before, and I have also asked them about their current situation."
"As for Zhang Li, she decided to follow Gu Jun and help his family grow vegetables in the greenhouse."
"They should get along well with each other. It can be said that Gu Jun is a blessing in disguise, right?"
As soon as Gu Chen finished speaking, Gu Baichuan's cell phone rang.
Gu Baichuan picked up the phone and took a look at it. He was immediately happy. He also pointed at the phone and complained:
"As soon as we talked about this silly kid, this silly kid called me."
"Is it Gu Jun?" After hearing what his father Gu Baichuan said, Gu Chen was also very curious.
Gu Baichuan also nodded silently and said involuntarily:
"That's right, it's Gu Jun. His father keeps saying that he wants to thank me."
"His father also said before that he wanted to open a shop near our supermarket to buy vegetables. It would only sell their greenhouse vegetables. It is a direct sale."
"Then, I helped his family find a shop, which is on the same road as ours, not far away."
"It seems that the lease contract was just signed yesterday. I am going to do some simple renovations these days."
"So your uncle from your hometown has been letting Gu Jun take care of it these days, so he comes to our house whenever he has something to do, and he brings a lot of things."
After a pause, Gu Baichuan added: "It just so happens that I told them yesterday that you would be back today. I guess I'm here to thank you."
"Hey, Lao Gu, you said so much, hurry up and answer the phone." Seeing that her husband Gu Baichuan had been chatting for a long time, but kept forgetting to answer the phone, Xiao Xiaofang was also anxious to remind her.
"Oh." Gu Baichuan, who had been slow to react, finally came to his senses and quickly opened the answer button: "Hey, Gu Jun."
"Uncle, are you at home now?" Gu Jun's greeting came over the phone.
"Yes, I'm at home now and preparing to eat. Have you eaten?"
"Not yet." Gu Jun on the phone explained with a smile on his face.
"That's good, come over for dinner." Gu Baichuan also reminded him.
"Oh, how embarrassing this is."
"What are you embarrassed about? We are all members of our own family." Gu Baichuan also said politely.
After the call paused for a few seconds, Gu Jun asked again: "What about that? Is Brother Gu Chen back?"
"What a coincidence, I happen to be eating here too," Gu Baichuan said.
"Really?" Upon hearing that Gu Chen was there, Gu Jun suddenly became happy and quickly answered:
"Okay, I'll come over quickly. I'll be over right away. I'll be there in a few minutes."
"Okay, then we'll wait for you."
It was only after a few brief exchanges with Gu Jun that Gu Baichuan hung up the phone.
When he put down the phone, he also smiled and said: "This kid is probably here to thank you, Gu Chen."
"Come on, come on, I don't know how he is doing now?" Gu Chen said jokingly while eating his food.
Not long after, there was a knock on the door.
Gu Baichuan, who was approaching the door of the living room, immediately opened the door.
Gu Jun and Zhang Li, who were standing at the door, were also greeting each other with smiles on their faces:
"Uncle, I came to your house to have dinner again."
"Hey, we're all on our own, why don't we just have food? Your family has been busy with the store these days. If you want to eat, you can come to my house. It just happens to be a few more pairs of chopsticks."
"Yes." At this moment, Xiao Xiaofang also came from behind and said to Gu Jun and Zhang Li at the door:
"Come to my house for dinner in the next few days. I will tell your father. This will make it easier for you to deal with things here."
After the words fell, Xiao Xiaofang looked at Zhang Li next to Gu Jun, and suddenly smiled and said:
"Is this your childhood sweetheart female classmate Zhang Li?"
"Auntie." After hearing what Xiao Xiaofang said, Zhang Li, who was standing at the door, quickly said hello.
"Hey, we were just talking about your affairs. You two have been together through life and death."
"Mom, don't always block the door. Let people come in for dinner." Seeing that Xiao Xiaofang got carried away as soon as they started chatting, Gu Chen quickly reminded her.
"Oh." Xiao Xiaofang, who had just reacted, also slapped her head and burst out laughing:
"Look at me..."
After saying that, he took out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on the floor, and quickly reminded him:
"Come in quickly. I told you not to bring anything. Don't bring anything. You bring so much every time. You forget that your uncle's family owns a supermarket."
"This is Zhang Li's sentiment. I want to thank your family for helping our family find a store, and also thank Brother Gu Chen for saving our lives."
While the two were talking, they also arrived at the restaurant.
