Chapter 66

The next morning,

“Jinzhu, my brother-in-law has been arrested! You need to think of something fast!”

Han Jinzhu was equally upset but felt that this situation was more complicated than it seemed. His brother-in-law had been involved in scandals before, so why was it that now someone reported him and he got caught red-handed?

The key was that the woman had been sent to him by someone.

Han dodged a few questions from Wang Chunxia and quickly rushed to Qian Guoguang’s house…

Meanwhile, Gu Zhixing had taken full control of Wang Xinzhou’s case and had him transferred to the police station for questioning.

Although Wang Xinzhou answered flawlessly, Gu Zhixing, being able to read people’s thoughts, wasn’t fooled.

So, he had him locked up, with the evidence matching what he had gathered.

Later, Gu led his team to destroy two human trafficking dens and rescued twelve girls and several children.

Upon verifying their identities, it was found that half of the girls had been violated by Wang Xinzhou.

Further investigations, including a detailed search of Wang Xinzhou’s home, quickly identified all the women from the photos.

It turned out that, aside from the trafficked women, Wang Xinzhou had been keeping several other women as well.

The whole city of Luoan was shocked. No one expected that a deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee was behind this trafficking operation.

The woman Zhao Yingying, who had been the latest to be sent to him, didn’t even know who had sent her. She was from a small, poor village and had come to Luoan seeking work, only to be handed over to Wang Xinzhou, with no connection to the trafficking ring.

Gu Zhixing also looked into Zhao Yingying’s situation and found it to be similar to that of other women placed in Luoan. She wasn’t trafficked.

When the director of the Revolutionary Committee learned of the investigation results, he was so shocked he almost fell off his chair. “To think that such a huge cancer was hidden right under our noses!”

With only a year left before retirement, he decided to apply for sick leave.

Wang Xinzhou, who had been handling the case, smoothly rose to a higher position and was directly appointed as the new director of the Revolutionary Committee.

When Gu Zhixing first started the investigation, he had pondered for a while, and eventually decided to send the case along with the report to Wang Xinzhou.

His main purpose was to do Zhou a favor, since Gu Zhixing wouldn’t be staying in Luoan forever, and the situation with Yue Chan’s grandparents was a bit too much to handle.

Wang Xinzhou, being sharp, quickly noticed that during the joint operation with the police, Gu Zhixing seemed to handle everything effortlessly. Upon some subtle probing, he realized that the report had been sent by Gu, who was doing him a favor.

Later, he accidentally found out about Gu Zhixing’s connection to the Su family, and that immediately gave him a clearer understanding of things.

On the other hand, Li Yuechan, now aware of the situation with Gu Zhixing, was in a great mood that day. She even ate an extra bowl of rice.

Initially, she thought that Wang Xinzhou’s scandal was simply an attempt to bring her down, but she didn’t expect it to lead to such a huge surprise!

Su Lizhen, who had her daughter with her these past few days, had been in a much better mood. The previous unhappiness seemed to disappear, and every day she happily made delicious meals for her daughter.

The next day, at the textile factory,

“Factory director, you’re finally back!”

“Has everything been calm around here lately?”

“Hmm, nothing major.”

Factory Director Zheng nodded, responding, “Just that…”

“Just what?”

“Just that our Deputy Factory Director Wang has fired Su Lizhen!”

“Why?”

“I heard that the Revolutionary Committee went to the Su family again, and they arrested everyone in the family.”

Director Zheng suddenly stood up, “What? Old Master Su was arrested?”

“No, no, they were released the same day! Deputy Factory Director Wang said this matter had a bad impact, so he fired Comrade Su.”

Director Zheng frowned, unconsciously tapping his fingers on the desk.

At that moment, a loud commotion could be heard outside.

“Shall we go see what’s going on?”

But when people went out, they didn’t return. Director Zheng stood up, opened the door, and heard a girl’s clear voice.

“What’s going on? Isn’t it okay to file a real-name report? You’re saying I can’t report Deputy Factory Director Wang for corruption and abuse of power?”

Director Zheng looked outside at the chaotic scene and quickly shouted as he stepped into the office, “What’s happening here?”

A crowd of people pushed and shoved into the office.

Deputy Factory Director Wang, holding his neck high, said, “Director, this unknown little girl actually dared to report me! Fortunately, I noticed it in time.”

Li Yuechan sat down on a chair, crossed her legs, and said, “Director, isn’t it okay to file a real-name report against Deputy Factory Director Wang for corruption and abuse of power?”

Director Zheng knew this girl was Old Master Su’s granddaughter. He had heard she was a tough one.

She smiled and said, “You can report, but do you have any evidence?”

“Of course, I have evidence!” She said, taking the dismissal notice for Su Lizhen that was posted on the factory door.

“This is it.”

Deputy Factory Director Wang smiled and said, “How can this be considered evidence?”

“This is the evidence! See? It’s signed by Deputy Factory Director Wang himself! Why did you fire my mother?”

Deputy Factory Director Wang stiffened his neck and shouted, “Your family has problems!”

“Well, did everyone hear that? Did everyone hear that? I’m suing you for defamation! You said my family has problems, who said that? Do you have any evidence?”

“What evidence do you need? The Revolutionary Committee arrested your mother!”

“Don’t you know my mother was released that same day? The Revolutionary Committee made a mistake and apologized to her, personally sending her back home. You didn’t know that, but you still claim you have evidence. Our Deputy Factory Director Wang didn’t investigate or present any evidence, and the next day, he fired my mother. How do you explain that?”

Deputy Factory Director Wang frowned, “Anyway, no matter what, your family has problems!”

“What problems does my family have? You better explain it to me! Even the national leaders gave the Su family a certificate of red capitalists, but now, according to you, there’s a problem? Are you better than the national leaders, Deputy Factory Director Wang? Are you planning to go to Beijing next?”

“This little temple in Luoan can’t contain you!”

Deputy Factory Director Wang pointed a finger at her, “You… you…”

“Don’t point at me!” Li Yuechan glared at him coldly, “Be careful, I might break your finger.”

She then turned to the crowd and said, “Look, this is the apology letter the Revolutionary Committee wrote to my family.”

Saying that, Li Yuechan took out the apology letter from her pocket. It had been given to her by Gu Zhixing.

The crowd stared in disbelief at the apology letter. A powerful institution like the Revolutionary Committee actually apologized. This was truly unbelievable.
