20 years of restarting life

Chapter 3815 Gu Qi and Zhang Zhongfeng
At 10 a.m., Zhao Chang'an took some time to call Xiao Yu.

Upon learning that Xiaoyu and Guqi were both at the Lize Nano Ecological Tourism Area, along with Zhang Zhongfeng, Jane Anna, and professors from Lin'an University, Lin'an Agricultural University, and Lin'an Ocean University, conducting a survey of the mountainous area and the lake area to the east, it was announced that Tang Shuang, the General Manager, and key leaders from Yangxian and Wuxing would also be arriving at noon.

Zhao Chang'an told her about Jin Feiyue's current predicament and hoped that she could continue to contact Xiang Yuqing in the name of Jin Feiyue's wife, so that she could return to China, preferably in the next few days.

Moreover, Zhao Chang'an can guarantee the personal safety of her and her child.

"Considering my ex-husband was relatively generous in the divorce, I can make this call, but I can't say whether she'll come back. By the way,"

Xiao Yu suddenly lowered her voice and said, "Gu Qi is pregnant, and it's confirmed to be Zhang Zhongfeng's. Gu Qi always used protection when she was playing around, but this time it's for real. I heard from Gu Qi and her sister that Zhang Zhongfeng's health was severely compromised back then, when he was poor and an alcoholic, so the survival rate was very low, making it difficult for women to get pregnant. Over the years, Zhang Zhongfeng has said he's just playing around with women, but actually he's always wanted to find a marriage partner who can get pregnant. He said he's going to consult a fortune teller to choose an auspicious date for the wedding."

"Old Zhang's survival rate is so low, yet his accuracy is still so high?"

Zhao Chang'an couldn't quite describe how he felt. He hadn't known Zhang Zhongfeng much, but the guy was a real man and a true friend.

However, this guy is even more casual about sex than the playboy Zhao Chang'an.

It is said that he used to own a dance hall, where he had an endless stream of drunk women every day. Of course, this was also related to his generosity; he would always give them money, and quite a lot at that.

He was young, tall, and had a very masculine appearance. He was also a well-known street thug who never hesitated to fight back. He was also rich and generous, and many young women and older women would deliberately get drunk and lie down outside his office so that he would pick them up.

As for the dozens of intimate encounters between Zhao Chang'an and Gu Qi, now that she wants to untie the red rope around her ankles and leave the country to become a respectable person, it's a good thing.

However, some things seem wonderful at first glance. Gu Qi's impulsive choice to get married because of pregnancy makes her believe she is the happiest woman in the world. But the long married life after marriage is not so easy.

Gu Qi and Zhao Chang'an estimated that she could really turn over a new leaf, but Zhang Zhongfeng didn't believe it at all.

If it were Shang Qingqing, Zhao Chang'an would decide to believe her, because in the past ten years or so, this guy has only ever loved this woman, and he has been extremely devoted to her.

Of course, if Gu Qi can tolerate Zhang Zhongfeng's philandering outside and his lack of love for her, treating her only as the mother of his children, then at least the family can be maintained well.

If Gu Qi doesn't love Zhang Zhongfeng, just as Zhang Zhongfeng doesn't love Gu Qi, then this kind of marriage, which is more cooperative, is more likely to remain stable in the long run.

As a man in his forties, Zhao Chang'an didn't have a good opinion of the marriage. However, he had no reason to interfere in other people's business just because he didn't approve of it.

"Hehe, impressive, right? Aren't you envious of Old Zhang's shooting skills?"

Xiao Yu was smiling ambiguously over there.

"I don't envy him for that, but I envy his ability to spout nonsense. He can even find such a righteous and shameless reason for playing around with women."

This guy plays around with women, and he even connects it to the sacred mission of procreation, elevating his womanizing ways to a higher social status.

Following this logic, should an infertile man try to have sex with every woman in the world to see if he can create a miracle?
Xiao Yu giggled again.

Around noon, Hu Qian called again, saying that she still couldn't get through to her parents and her brother and sister-in-law. She called the three families in the village who were helping her raise sheep, saying that they had agreed yesterday to bring the sheep to her house by the roadside this morning to load them onto a truck. The truck did come, but no one was home, and they didn't answer the phone. She asked what was going on.

Since they're all familiar faces, and I don't know how many times they've driven here before, I suggested we just load the sheep onto the truck and take them to Zhou's Lamb Soup Shop.

Hu Qian made up an excuse to refuse, but she still couldn't get through to her family by phone. However, Xiao Zhou's parents, who were her in-laws, came back.

Hu Qian didn't say much else, except that the two of them, especially her mother-in-law, had facial expressions like vengeful ghosts, and their eyes were looking at her strangely. They probably resented her for coming back yesterday and arguing with Xiao Zhou. Her father-in-law pulled her into the bedroom and wouldn't let her say anything more, and now she was still wailing in the bedroom.

It contained particularly offensive language such as "jinx," "bad luck," "bastard," and "give me back my son."

Zhao Chang'an could vaguely hear this over the phone: Hu Qian was staying in the master bedroom, while Old Zhou and his wife had a smaller bedroom separated from the master bedroom by a thin brick wall.

The doors in the Zhou family's house were made of pure mixed wood, which is of good quality and soundproof. The fact that you could still hear this shows how fiercely the old woman was howling and how loudly and horribly she was cursing.

It depends on how you look at it. If Xiao Zhou hadn't deliberately thrown a tantrum and argued with Hu Qian last night, trying to force her to divorce him, then it would be Mr. and Mrs. Zhou lying in bed right now.

From this perspective, Hu Qianke was the savior of these two old bastards.

At this point, Zhao Chang'an did not realize the seriousness of the matter. However, the bizarre disappearance of Hu Qian's family late at night was too coincidental, especially considering that it involved a family of five and the Zhou family had also experienced this incident. Zhao Chang'an suggested that Hu Qian call the local police station to report the case.

When Hu Qian called, the person on the other end simply said "I know" and hung up. This unusual situation made Zhao Chang'an feel a little incredulous. After thinking about it, he decided to call the director on the other end after lunch to inquire.

When Zhao Chang'an called, he naturally told the whole story without reservation.

In other words, they received a call from the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Criminal Investigation Department in the early morning, and then went to the Hu family's house with the investigators from the Criminal Investigation Department, taking the family of five back to the city to assist in the investigation.

He did this because he learned from a casual conversation with the criminal investigation team that Mr. and Mrs. Zhou said that his family was kind to everyone, had never quarreled with outsiders, and had never owed anyone a penny, nor had anyone owed his family any money.

If the intention was to steal money, then the shop usually doesn't keep much money in it; it only keeps some change for the next day's business.

Besides, is it necessary to go to such lengths to steal money, especially a mere three hundred dollars in small change?

The son mentioned that he had a fierce argument with his daughter-in-law last night. His son proposed a divorce, but his daughter-in-law's family are all unreasonable and domineering people. Her father and brother have been imprisoned more than once for fighting and causing trouble.

Zhao Chang'an found this assertion utterly unreasonable. After all, Xiao Zhou and Hu Qian had only argued the night before. Even if Xiao Zhou mentioned divorce, it was the first time he had brought it up, and it was probably just something he said in anger.

Even if Hu Qian's parents, brother, and sister-in-law were heartless, there was no reason for them to be so extreme at this time. Moreover, Hu Qian's parents favored sons over daughters, and her brother valued his sister-in-law and son above all else. How could they possibly take such a risk for Hu Qian?
