The villain is too crazy, the little ancestor is not going to do it anymore

The investigation on A-Lu still takes time, so Gu Ranle is naturally not idle either.

She knew that the time for her return was getting shorter and shorter, and every minute and every second was precious.

Therefore, she decided to make full use of her limited time and finish those things that needed to be dealt with urgently and that she could do.

Among them, the problem of Zhang Chuan that was left over from before should have been solved long ago, but it was put on hold due to a series of trivial matters that followed.

After much thought, Gu Ranle felt that she could not delay any longer, so she decided to resolve the matter once and for all today.

She picked up her cell phone and dialed Zhang Chuan, still thinking about how to communicate with him.

However, the voice coming from the other end of the phone was a woman's, which made Gu Ranle slightly stunned.

She politely asked about Zhang Chuan's whereabouts, but the other party told her calmly that Zhang Chuan died suddenly while working overtime at the company a week ago.

"Sudden death from overtime work?"

Gu Ranle was shocked when he heard this and could hardly believe his ears.

She quickly asked about the other party's relationship with Zhang Chuan, and the other party replied that she was Zhang Chuan's wife.

Gu Ranle’s first reaction was, could this woman be the nurse in Song Yu’s clinic?

After all, Zhang Chuan had some interactions with her before.

But after some inquiries, she learned that the woman was not the nurse, but Zhang Chuanxin's partner, whom he married after dating for only one month.

Without waiting for Gu Ranle to ask again, the woman took the initiative to tell her how she met Zhang Chuan.

It turned out that the two met by chance on their way to work.

That day, the woman accidentally bumped into Zhang Chuan while riding an electric bike, but because both parties were in a hurry to go to work, they did not deal with the compensation issue on the spot, but simply exchanged contact information.

After get off work, the woman felt bad, so she contacted Zhang Chuan and invited him to dinner to express her apology.

At the dinner table, the two had a great conversation and discovered that they had many common interests and hobbies.

Zhang Chuan also behaved very generously and did not mention compensation again.

After that, the two of them often made appointments to have dinner together, and their affection for each other deepened over time.

Not long after, they began living together.

On the second day of living together, Zhang Chuan proposed to the woman to get a marriage certificate, and the woman readily agreed.

So, the two of them walked into the marriage hall hand in hand.

The next day after getting the marriage certificate, Zhang Chuan went to the company to ask for marriage leave.

Although his marriage leave was approved, he decided to work overtime at the company because his previous work had not been completed.

Who would have thought that this overtime work would become a farewell forever.

The next morning, when colleagues came to the company, they found Zhang Chuan asleep in his chair.

At first, everyone thought he was just taking a short break due to being too tired from work, so they didn't disturb him.

It was not until the boss came to work later that he discovered that Zhang Chuan had already stopped breathing.

After identification, it was confirmed that he died suddenly due to staying up late.

After listening to the woman's story, Gu Ranle's heart was filled with ripples, and his feelings of emotion took a long time to subside.

She really never expected that Zhang Chuan's life would end so abruptly in such an unexpected way.

"After your husband's accident, has anyone contacted his cell phone again? To be more precise, did anyone call him?" Gu Ranle asked after a moment of thought.

The woman hummed softly and responded, "Yes, quite a few. Several unfamiliar numbers call almost every day."

"Could you please tell me why those people came to see your husband?" Gu Ranle asked immediately.

The woman frowned slightly, thought carefully, and said, "Some came to collect debts, some just said they had something to ask him but refused to elaborate, and some accused him of taking money but not doing the job properly. In short, there were all kinds of situations."

After hearing this, Gu Ranle's doubts grew even stronger. After a moment's hesitation, he asked, "If it's convenient, can we meet and discuss this in detail?"

The woman thought about it for about half a minute, then nodded and answered simply, "Okay."

The two quickly agreed on a meeting place and set the time for an hour later.

Gu Ranle deliberately chose the restaurant where she had dinner with Zhang Chuan last time.

When she rushed to the restaurant, she found Zhang Chuan's wife Zhang Shan was already waiting at the door.

She was a young girl who looked much younger than Zhang Chuan. She had a pretty face and a naive look in her eyes.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." Gu Ranle hurried forward and said apologetically.

"No, no," Zhang Shan quickly waved her hands, a shy smile on her face, "I just got here a while ago."

The two walked into the restaurant together and found a quiet place to sit down.

During the chat, Gu Ranle learned that the other party's surname was Zhang, with a single given name, Shan, and she just turned 20 this year.

Zhang Shan told Gu Ranle that after graduating from high school, she failed to get into university, so she came to Gucheng to work and had worked in a supermarket before.

However, in the month since Zhang Chuan's death, she quit her job and has been unemployed at home.

"If you don't go to work, do you have any other source of income?" Gu Ranle asked with concern.

Zhang Shan hesitated for a moment and then slowly said, "On the day we got our marriage certificate, my husband gave me his bank card for safekeeping."

"It seems that your husband has quite a bit of savings in his card." Gu Ranle couldn't help but sigh.

Zhang Shan nodded gently, a trace of sadness and helplessness flashing in her eyes. "It's over two million. He originally said that when we were on our wedding leave, he would accompany me to look at houses. This money is enough for the down payment. But now..."

At this point, Zhang Shan could no longer control her emotions and tears welled up in her eyes. She covered her mouth with her hands, trying hard not to cry out loud.

Looking at the heartbroken young girl in front of her, Gu Ranle felt mixed emotions. She didn't know how to comfort Zhang Shan, so she could only sit aside silently, waiting for Zhang Shan's emotions to slowly calm down so that she could continue to learn more about Zhang Chuan's life.

There was always a thought lingering in her mind, she always felt that Zhang Chuan’s death was not a simple accident, and there might be some unknown secrets hidden behind it.

After thinking for a moment, she said to Zhang Shan, "Can I see the records of those unknown calls on your husband's phone?"

Without any hesitation, Zhang Shan took out her cell phone from her bag and handed it to Gu Ranle.

Gu Ranle took the phone and looked at it carefully with a focused expression.

Among those unfamiliar numbers, some are normal mobile phone numbers, but some virtual Internet numbers mixed in seem particularly suspicious.

However, this alone is far from enough. Further in-depth investigation is needed to uncover the truth.

At this moment, Zhang Shan asked hesitantly, "Ms. Gu, are you and my husband... friends?"

Gu Ranle shook her head slightly and said slowly, "No, I'm actually his client. Before he died, he promised to help me plan a project that could make a lot of money. We agreed that if I could make 50 million from this project, I would give him 5 million as a planning fee..."

Having said that, she deliberately paused, staring intently at Zhang Shan, carefully observing every subtle reaction on her face.

There was a flash of light in Zhang Shan's eyes, which seemed to be mixed with surprise and expectation, but it soon disappeared and returned to calm.

Gu Ranle had already made up her mind, and continued, "Besides, I promised him that if the project was successful, I would introduce him to more clients, and I would give him 30% of the planning fee. It's a pity that fate played such a trick on him. Before our cooperation could officially begin, he had such an accident."

Zhang Shan listened quietly, without much expression on her face. She just lowered her head slightly, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Your husband died due to overtime work. Did his company give him any compensation?" Gu Ranle asked with concern.

"I lost 100,000 yuan." Zhang Shan responded softly, with a hint of helplessness in her tone.

"Did you choose to do it privately?" Gu Ranle continued to ask.

"Well, I don't quite understand all this. They said that 100,000 was already a lot, and they also scared me that if I really wanted to take legal action, I might not even get 50,000 in the end. I'm a girl from another place, how could I understand all this? I had no choice but to agree." Zhang Shan said, a trace of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

Gu Ranle thought for a moment and then asked, "Does your husband have any other family members? His accident happened so suddenly, do his family know?"

Zhang Shan slowly shook her head. "Probably not. I've never heard him mention his family. And in the past month, no one claiming to be his family has called him."

"If, I mean if, he actually has family, such as parents, then his parents also have the right to inherit his estate." Gu Ranle explained seriously.

"They have no right of inheritance." Zhang Shan said softly but firmly.

Gu Ranle was slightly startled and looked at her.

"I have the will my husband made before he died. It clearly states that all his property will be inherited by me alone." Zhang Shan said, her eyes revealing an unquestionable certainty.

This matter is really strange.

The two had only known each other for a month when they rushed to get a marriage certificate. The next day after getting the certificate, Zhang Chuan suddenly passed away.

What's even more bizarre is that he had made a will before his sudden death.

Did he have a premonition that he would die suddenly?

Just hearing about these incidents makes people feel that there is a lot of conspiracy involved.

Moreover, Gu Ranle vaguely remembered that there was a nurse in Song Yu Clinic who was from the same hometown as Zhang Chuan.

Maybe, we can get some clues about Zhang Chuan's family situation from this nurse.

In fact, it’s not that Gu Ranle has nothing to do and has to find out the cause of Zhang Chuan’s death.

But she had a vague intuition that there seemed to be someone hiding behind Zhang Chuan, and this person was very likely to be inextricably linked to the truth of the time travel that she had been desperately pursuing.

Many things seemed disorganized and confusing at first glance, but for some reason, all the clues seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, vaguely pointing in the same direction, forcing her to follow these clues and continue exploring.
