Time flies.

Two weeks later.

The verdict of Zhang Zhiguo has come down.

The crime of official embezzlement, involving a huge amount, was sentenced to eight years in prison.

As an accomplice and direct participant, Zhang Lei was sentenced to five years in prison.

When the news came back to the Tongzilou Family Courtyard, it was around six o'clock in the evening, when every household was cooking.

The smell of oil smoke in the whole building was filled with the sound of discussion.

"Eight years! Zhang Zhiguo was sentenced to eight years!"

"You deserve it! That bitch has made so much dirty money in the factory in the past two years, retribution is coming!"

"His son Zhang Lei also went in? That's really a big deal..."

"Let me tell you, that guy from the Lin family is not an ordinary person. Look at the car he drove back that day in his Audi, and the box was full of cash - tsk tsk, he's making a living now, it's different from before."

"Isn't that right? That old guy Zhang Zhiguo is also here today. He deserves it."

Lin Chuan stood by the window in the corridor on the second floor, listening to the chatter downstairs, and the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.

Eight years.

In the previous life, Zhang Zhiguo ate everything, patted his butt and left without even losing a hair.

In this life, you must pay back what is due.

He turned around and went back to the house, closing the window to block out the noise outside.

——

The second day after something happened to the Zhang family.

Liu Mei is here.

When Lin Chuan went downstairs to drive out, she stood under the sycamore tree at the door of the unit.

She lost a lot of weight, her makeup was not put on neatly, her eyes were dark and her hair was tied into a ponytail.

The floral skirt she was wearing was bought for her by Lin Chuan with overtime pay last year.

"Linchuan."

She called him, her voice soft and hoarse, as if she had grinded it in her throat several times before squeezing it out.

"I know you hate me. But... Zhang Lei went in and his mother kicked me out of his house. I don't even have a place to live now. Can you..."

"Can there be anything?"

Lin Chuan opened the car door without even looking back.

Liu Mei bit her lip, her eyes suddenly turned red.

She took two steps forward and her voice began to tremble: "Lin Chuan, I was wrong, I really know I was wrong. I was blind at the beginning, I shouldn't have followed Zhang Lei... If you are still willing to give me another chance, I will listen to you in everything, and I will serve your parents, I -"

"Liu Mei."

Lin Chuan finally turned around.

He looked at her with calm eyes and even a little smile on his lips.

But that smile is colder than not smiling at all.

"Before you came to me, have you thought about a question?"

Liu Mei was stunned.

"The Zhang family's case is still under investigation. Zhang Zhiguo and Zhang Lei have gone in, and everyone who handles the money must pass the screening one by one."

He paused, his voice was low, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

"Your name is on several transfer records. I'll make the certificate. You're welcome."

Liu Mei’s expression changed.

It didn’t turn white slowly, but in an instant, all the blood faded from the face.

Lin Chuan didn't look at her again, bent down and sat in the driver's seat, and closed the door. Page (1/3)
