The leader felt like he had lost out this time.

He brought his brothers out hoping to gain merit and see if he could get some benefits from those above.

Unexpectedly, so far nothing bad has been found, and there is a high possibility that we have offended several important figures.

These days, those who can wear police uniforms are not ordinary people.

Moreover, this person was an officer, and the junior officer felt a chill running down his neck.

The final search result was definitely nothing, and this time they couldn't even find a decent reason, because they had even searched the bride's room, what more did they want?

At this point, they can't just turn around and leave.

Gu Hanchuan wouldn't allow it if the whistleblower's letter wasn't delivered.

"I remember warning you at the beginning. Didn't your people go back to retrieve the report? Or were you so sure that my second brother would find something here, and you had already set a trap?"

We absolutely cannot admit to this!

"That's not true! Don't talk nonsense."

"We didn't bring it with us, and we genuinely forgot to go back for it. We just didn't want to delay your happy occasion. How about I bring it over later?"

Liu Zhengang immediately jumped out and said, "I'll go back with you to get it!"

Liu Erniu also shouted, "I'm going too!"

The two police officers exchanged a glance and suggested directly, "There's no need for all this trouble. We're going to report anyway, so we might as well pick up the report letter from you on the way."

The foreman thought it was no problem: "Okay, thank you for your trouble, comrades."

Gu Hanchuan said with a serious expression, "Then I'll trouble you two comrades. We'll be having a banquet at the state-run restaurant on Xiangyang Street. You two can come over and have a drink in a bit."

"Alright, then we'll respectfully comply."

The matter was considered settled, and Ye Nuan finally walked out of the house, where Gu Hanchuan carried her directly to the car parked outside.

It was only then that people noticed that the groom had actually driven to pick up the bride—how impressive!

"My goodness! This Comrade Gu is too awesome! And I just heard someone say that his rank is not low, and that he is in charge of hundreds of people in the army."

"That's really impressive! I heard his uncle is a leader here. Tsk tsk, the Ye family is going to rise to prominence. I think today's incident was most likely caused by jealousy of Old Ye, and they deliberately stirred things up."

Everyone rushed to look at the car. Ye Nuan was carried to the passenger seat, while Ye Anjia, Li Xiu, and Yu Huiru sat in the back seat with their child in their arms. They set off in a lively atmosphere.

The Ye brothers, Ye Feng and Ye Hai, scattered some sugar and melon seeds among everyone, then locked the door and rode their bicycles to the restaurant.

As for the other members of the Ye family, Ye Anjia made no arrangements. Anyway, his younger brother knew where to host the banquet, so he could just go directly there.

Actually, Ye Anjia was angry.

Whether it was the security department of the machinery factory that came to investigate, or the public security brigade that came later, none of his parents, his brother's family, or anyone else stood up to say a word for him.

On the contrary, a few old neighbors were willing to believe in his character and even spoke up for them; otherwise, his situation today would be even more embarrassing.

The Hehua family also spoke up for them quite a bit, and when they saw those people rushing in, Liu Erniu and his son Liu Zhengang each grabbed a shovel and a stick for protection.

No need to say anything more, just by looking at their posture, you can tell they are protecting them.

In the car, Ye Anjia tried her best to control her emotions. After all, it was her daughter's big day, and she couldn't show too much anger.

Gu Hanchuan reassured them, "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, don't worry. I will make those people pay for what happened today. They dared to plot against you, so they must have planned it in advance. Nuannuan and I won't feel at ease until this matter is handled properly."

Ye Nuan understood that Gu Hanchuan meant that if this matter could not be resolved, they would not return to the unit tomorrow.

But will this affect Gu Hanchuan's future?

“Dad, Mom, we really need to get to the bottom of what happened today. Luckily, those two police officers are here too, and I trust they will handle it impartially. Besides, everyone saw Uncle Zhang’s behavior today; even if he doesn’t admit it, it won’t make a difference. The box was taken away by the police officers, and if Uncle Zhang is smart, he’d better turn himself in. Otherwise, things will only get worse.”

Gu Hanchuan nodded; what Ye Nuan said was true.

If they confess voluntarily, there might still be room for leniency.

Everything is too clear now; there's no need to harbor any more illusions.

Gu Hanchuan already knew the whole story from Ye Feng, so naturally he didn't have a good impression of that old Zhang.

However, the most likely explanation is that Lao Zhang accepted a bribe from someone else.

Right now, he should take care of the important matters first. After the banquet is over and he takes Ye Nuan to her aunt's house, he will deal with this matter.

Gu Hanchuan's name had been heard by the leaders of Anshi City many times. He had made great contributions, so it would be easier for him to investigate anything or push through any procedures.

After all, in the eyes of the leaders of Anshi City, Gu Hanchuan is a hero!

Upon arriving at the restaurant, after their relatives and friends were seated, Gu Hanchuan and Ye Nuan publicly expressed their hopes for the future, and of course, they recited a quote from Chairman Mao.

Yang Chunhua's eyes darted around: "Why isn't the food served yet?"

"What's your rush!" Ye Wangjia glared at her. "Look, the men's side is full of leading cadres. Behave yourself and don't let them look down on us. If we can meet them this time, we might benefit from their influence in the future."

Ye Wangjia and Ye Fugui both thought further ahead.

Even though Ye Nuan won't be here anymore, Gu Hanchuan's aunt and uncle will be working and living here.

Therefore, as long as you build good relationships, things will be easier to get things done in the future.

After the two police officers came in, Gu Hanchuan chatted with them for a few minutes before letting the restaurant start serving the dishes.

The two police officers were invited to the table where Song Shaofeng was sitting. There were two seats left, which was obviously reserved on purpose.

Now, their impression of Gu Hanchuan improved even more.

Around 1:00 PM, after Gu Hanchuan sent his parents-in-law home, he took Ye Nuan back to the Song family home.

"Just make do for one night. If all goes well, we can go back tomorrow."

"Well, with my aunt's family being so well-off, how can you say they're just making do?"

Gu Hanchuan patted the top of her head: "It's good that you don't feel wronged."

"Are you going out?"

"Well, Lao Zhang's matter has been basically resolved. I reckon he's at the police station by now. Also, I want to investigate that whistleblower letter. I need to check the handwriting, which may take some time."

"Actually, you should investigate from a different angle."

"Hmm?" Gu Hanchuan looked at her.

Ye Nuan blinked: "Those books were brought back by my second brother last night. Why don't you just have him take you to the person who provided them?"

Gu Hanchuan chuckled: "Nuan Nuan is so smart, so who do you think I should go to to check the handwriting?"

Ye Nuan: ...
