Chapter 536: Don’t Owe 12_1
"Senior Zhou, I’m sorry for dragging you into this," He Zhilan apologized. "In this matter, Chen Yun and his team will surely investigate thoroughly. If it’s proven in the end that Gu En was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes, what will you do?"
What He Zhilan wanted to ask was, what would the Zhou Family choose to do? Would they choose to feign ignorance just to keep in good graces with the Gu Family? Or would they seek justice for Zhou Hongjin?
"Senior Zhou, I know this puts you in a difficult position, but I will not give up on this matter. Once we find evidence, the Zhou Family won’t have to step forward; Gu En will be sent to prison all the same." He Zhilan smiled quietly, watching Zhou Hongjin intently. "Senior, do you understand what I mean?"
Zhou Hongjin nodded, "Don’t worry, the Zhou Family won’t get involved in this. You guys can proceed according to your plan."
Zhou Hongjin wasn’t a naive fool. He understood the implications in He Zhilan’s words, and naturally wouldn’t tell anyone about this matter.
After discussing with Zhou Hongjin, He Zhilan returned to her dorm and received a call from Lin Chan, saying that the truck driver finally broke down and confessed.
"The identity of the truck driver has been verified. He’s a jobless thug who indulges in gambling and alcohol all day. He also admitted that a man had offered him a large sum of money to run over Zhou Hongjin and you. Now, Chen Yun has personally taken a team to his house to retrieve the contact information the man left behind. As long as we get hold of the phone number, we can narrow down a range and hopefully uncover some useful clues. Chen Yun checked at the hospital, Gu En will be discharged in three days. If we still don’t find any clues by then, we will let the driver directly testify that it was Gu En who paid him to do it."
