When Gu Zhan heard the word "beg" from Gu Dali, a sarcastic smile appeared on his face.

Just imagine, if it was Gu Dali who got into trouble today, would he ask others for help?

Gu Zhan thought that, to a large extent, Gu Dali would not do this. At most, he would just sigh occasionally that he was not up to the mark.

Thinking of this, Gu Zhan directly punctured the old man's unnecessary fantasy and said, "Old man, I'm sorry I can't help you with this matter. You know, speculation is a serious crime. I really can't help you."

Gu Dali sighed and said with a sad face: "Just think of it as helping Grandpa. You know, this is the only child in your second uncle's family!"

Gu Zhan raised his eyes slightly and looked at Gu Dali. Then Gu Dali realized that Gu Zhan was his only son.

The atmosphere instantly became cold and silent.

Seeing this, Liu Xiaoxi felt a little sorry for Gu Zhan.

She quickly stood up and walked out of the house. She took Gu Zhan's right hand, which was hanging by his side, and said, "Grandpa, your heart has been taken away from you, hasn't it? You clearly know what kind of thing this is, and others are avoiding it, yet you are here encouraging one grandson to save another. You are really capable of that."

Being scolded in front of the younger generation, Gu Dali felt ashamed and said hesitantly, "But, Xiaozhan, if you don't help, what will Xiaojun do? They say that if this matter is serious, they might eat peanuts."

"Old man, please go back. We can't help you with this matter." Liu Xiaoxi said in a cold voice and drove him away.

Gu Zhan said nothing and tacitly agreed with Liu Xiaoxi's approach.

Looking at Gu Dali's receding figure, Liu Xiaoxi suddenly hugged Gu Zhan and said softly, "Gu Zhan, don't be sad. You have me and our child."

While Liu Xiaoxi was speaking, the baby in her belly suddenly moved, as if responding to what she had just said.

Back in the house, Gu Zhan sat down and began to recall Gu Jun's affairs carefully.

In his previous life, Gu Jun had never been imprisoned for speculation, so why was Gu Jun arrested in this life?

The answer to this question was given when the relevant staff came to the door at around ten o'clock the next morning.

At that time, Gu Zhan was translating documents at home, and Liu Xiaoxi was quietly doing homework beside him. Suddenly, someone walked in.

"Is Gu Zhan at home?" someone asked.

Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi looked up almost at the same time. Through the window glass, they saw the person outside the door. Liu Xiaoxi's legs went weak, and she looked at Gu Zhan in panic, whispering, "Why would the police come to our house?"

"It's okay, don't worry." Gu Zhan held Liu Xiaoxi's waist and said softly.

"Are you Gu Zhan?" The leader walked up to Gu Zhan and asked in a very serious tone.

"Yes, I'm Gu Zhan, what can I do for you?"

Gu Zhan hadn't done anything illegal, so naturally he wasn't afraid of the person in front of him.

Seeing Gu Zhan so calm and composed, the leader couldn't help but look at him with a higher regard. His tone was a little softer than before. "While we were investigating the case, someone revealed that you were involved in speculation and profiteering. Please come with us and assist with the investigation."

Gu Zhan thought for a moment and figured out the key point of the matter. He said to the staff in front of him, "Okay. But can you please allow me to talk to my wife for a few words? She's pregnant, and I'm afraid she'll be worried."

"Okay." Although they were talking, they would not allow Gu Zhan and Liu Xiaoxi to avoid them.

Gu Zhan knew the rules. He touched the top of Liu Xiaoxi's head and said softly, "Don't worry. They won't wrongly accuse a good person, nor will they let a bad person go. I will come back immediately after the matter is investigated. And if I can't come back today, please ask my mother-in-law to come and keep me company."

Liu Xiaoxi's heart was in a state of panic. She looked at Gu Zhan with tearful eyes and nodded slightly, "Yeah."

Seeing that Gu Zhan cooperated, the staff did not make things difficult for him and directly took Gu Zhan into a military green jeep.

Watching the jeep go away, Liu Xiaoxi's legs went weak and she fell to the ground. She couldn't figure out what speculation had to do with Gu Zhan?

Gu Zhan looked at Liu Xiaoxi's figure from the car window until the car turned a corner and disappeared, then he looked away.

In the car, the staff saw that Gu Zhan had an extraordinary attitude and did not make things difficult for him. They just talked about how the county revolutionary committee would increase the punishment for these speculators this time.

"Boy, are you really not involved in any speculation or profiteering activities?" asked the leader.

Gu Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Do I look like someone who does this kind of work?"

The man shook his head and then continued, "But you can't judge a person by his appearance. Many of the people we arrested claimed to be innocent, but in the end, the results of the investigation showed that they were not that innocent."

After a pause, the man added: “This matter is now very involved.

The implication is that if Gu Zhan really participated in speculation, the consequences would be serious.

Gu Zhan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"Besides, look at your new house. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"

So that's how it is. Gu Zhan felt relieved. Every penny of his income had a source, and he just needed to explain it clearly when the time came.

Unfortunately, the law at that time was not perfect, and he could not demand legal sanctions against those who falsely accused him.

When they arrived at the place, everything was handled according to the procedure. When the staff involved in handling the case asked about Gu Zhan's income, Gu Zhan calmly explained everything about his translation of manuscripts for the Jing City Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau and documents for the Provincial Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and even the 50 yuan award given by the county government.

The staff were stunned when they heard Gu Zhan's experiences. They were all curious about the experience of the young man in front of them.

Besides being frightened, he quickly reported Gu Zhan's matter to his superiors.

After listening to this, the leader instructed his subordinates to verify with the relevant units: "Verify it quickly without delay."

"Yes!" Almost half an hour later, the staff member reported to the leader with a serious face: "Everything that the man named Gu Zhan said is true."

So, the young people they brought back were indeed not engaged in speculation and profiteering. Instead, they were powerful figures who had been commended by the whole county.

"Let him go quickly."

"Okay, Director."

So, Gu Zhan was released from the interrogation room less than two hours after he entered.

The person in charge apologized to Gu Zhan in person with an apologetic look on his face: "Comrade Gu Zhan, I apologize for our inability to verify the information clearly."

In fact, it was not that they could not verify it clearly. It was that the County Revolutionary Committee intended to dig deep into this matter and make an example of others, so they had no choice but to bring in all the people who had confessed their crimes for investigation.

The other people who were reported by others had some problems to some extent, but the young man in front of him, named Gu Zhan, was indeed misunderstood.
