It was almost ten o'clock in the evening when Xu Huanshan returned home.

"Why did you come back so late?"

Gu Jia took Xu Huanshan's coat and asked with a smile.

"Han Tao has been dragging me to drink today," Xu Huanshan said with a helpless look, "It's not good if you don't accompany him. There's nothing I can do about it. Is Ziyan asleep? Should I sleep in his room tonight?"

"Xiaoqin slept in Xu Ziyan's room tonight. She didn't coax Xu Ziyan to sleep just now, so she fell asleep by herself." Gu Jia said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if you have a normal social gathering with friends, but it's better to drink less."

"I understand," Xu Huanshan nodded and smiled:

"How is Zhong Xiaoqin doing now?"

"It was much better in the afternoon. I took her mobile phone away," Gu Jia said with a smile: "We went upstairs to watch a horror movie in the evening. Xiaoqin was so scared..."

"Okay, just be fine. There's nothing you can do about this. Just comfort her." Xu Huanshan nodded: "I'm going to take a shower first and change my clothes. She smells of alcohol all over her body."

"Okay, you go."

Gu Jia hugged Xu Huanshan's coat: "I'm going to put the clothes in the washing machine."

Xu Huanshan walked to the bathroom and threw out his clothes: "Thank you, wife!"

Gu Jia smiled and walked to the washing machine holding the clothes. Just as he was about to stuff the clothes in, his nose suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance. Gu Jia put the coat under her nose and smelled it carefully. It was indeed the fragrance coming from the clothes. If Gu Jia hadn't had a sharp nose, he would not have been able to smell the pungent aroma of wine.

Gu Jia suddenly doubted Yun Dou Sheng, wasn't this his own misunderstanding? Is there a woman drinking with Xu Huanshan tonight? A thought flashed through Gu Jia's mind, and Gu Jia shook his head subconsciously.

Looking in the direction of the bathroom, Gu Jia thoughtfully stuffed the clothes into the washing machine and sat on the balcony chair, feeling a little confused.

"What are you doing? Looking at the stars?"

After Xu Huanshan took a shower, he saw his wife sitting on the balcony, hugging her knees and staring at the stars in the night sky in a daze. He couldn't help but walk to Gu Jia and sit down.

"Well, it's nothing," Gu Jia smiled and said casually, "Are you and Han Tao the only two drinking tonight?"

"That's not all." Xu Huanshan's heart tightened, and the expression on his face remained unchanged: "There are also a few friends from his company, both male and female. What's wrong?"

"Nothing," Gu Jia took a deep look at Xu Huanshan and smiled:

"By the way, have all those blue fireworks of yours been destroyed? You can't joke about production safety. Shen Jie's lessons learned from the past are still there. We have to learn a lesson and leave nothing to chance."

"I know, don't worry," Xu Huanshan nodded, "I will go to the factory in person in a few days to urge them to destroy the fireworks."

"That's good..." Gu Jia looked at Xu Huanshan and said, "You... don't you have anything to tell me?"

Xu Huanshan's smile froze and his pupils shrank. Looking at Gu Jia's serious expression, he didn't know what to say for a moment. A thought flashed through his mind:

Does she know? ? ?

It felt like the air was frozen. Xu Huanshan was sweating on his forehead. After a while, he managed to calm down and said, "Tell me, what did you say?"

Gu Jia pursed her red lips: "I know you have always wanted to design a unique firework, but the danger of these blue fireworks is too high, we can't afford to gamble. If something happens, our family will be gone... Me too. For the sake of our family, don’t think I’m too meddlesome.”

The man was breathing heavily when he spoke, which startled Xu Huanshan, who was feeling guilty.

"Oh~," Xu Huanshan felt relieved when he heard this, nodded and smiled: "Of course I understand, wife, you are doing this for our family too."

"That's good," Gu Jia smiled: "By the way, husband, you took the money in the cabinet, right?"

Xu Huanshan was stunned for a moment, then nodded guiltily and said, "Yes, it's me. This is not the cash I paid when the POS machine in the store broke down when I was having dinner with a customer a few days ago."

Gu Jia nodded without thinking about the loopholes in Xu Huanshan's words. She put her arms around Xu Huanshan's neck and said with a smile:

"I studied an e-commerce promotion plan with them today, and I think it is very good. If this sales channel is stabilized, there will be no problem in the mid-to-late development of our tea factory. I have a feeling that it will definitely succeed this time. …Can you support me with some promotional expenses?”

"Oh, that's it. How much does it cost?" Xu Huanshan frowned: "Why do I feel that these online promotions are a bit unreliable?"

"The publicity fee is more than 200,000 yuan..." Gu Jia said: "Don't worry, I have learned that many tea merchants have developed in this way."

"That's okay..." Xu Huanshan nodded: "It just so happens that the company has received the payment, and I will ask the finance department to transfer it to you tomorrow."

"Thank you, husband," Gu Jia frowned, kissed Xu Huanshan on the face, and said with a smile, "Then let's go to bed early. You wait a moment, I'll take a bath."

"what?!"

Looking at Gu Jia who was full of interest, he felt a faint soreness in his waist. Xu Huanshan said quickly: "Honey, I may have drunk too much today and my head is a little dizzy. I'm going to bed first. Aren't you still busy tomorrow?" Really? Let’s go to bed early too.”

"Oh~," Gu Jia was quite disappointed when he heard this, his eyebrows immediately lowered, and he said faintly: "Okay, you go to sleep first, I will come over after sorting out the information."

...............

Magic City, Qingzhuang Town.

Chen Yu and Chen Xu were sitting at a small stall on the roadside eating breakfast. Chen Yu was not thinking about eating at all. He held a small steamed bun in his hand and looked straight at the alley opposite the intersection, for fear of missing something. .

Chen Xu stuffed Xiao Long Bao into his mouth and muttered: "Brother, I really don't know, you have quite a lot of energy for such a small body? You haven't slept all night, aren't you sleepy or hungry?"

"Eat yours," Chen Yu turned to look at his brother: "Are you sure they passed through here when they came in and out? They didn't go in another direction, right?"

"Brother, how did I know that?" Chen Xu said angrily: "Let's just keep an eye on that factory. It's just a matter of time to eat. It's not such a coincidence, right? Eat quickly, something will really happen soon." Don’t rely on me.”

Chen Yu glared at his younger brother and started eating Xiao Long Bao one by one.

"Why did I say you were nervous?"

Chen Xu rolled his eyes at his elder brother: "We just need to take pictures of the scene where they are producing fake shoes and call the police directly. Even if they find out, it doesn't matter. This is the Magic City. Although it is a suburb, they don't dare to do it in broad daylight. . The maximum penalty for making fake shoes is a small amount of money. If you dare to do it, they will have to stay there for a few years. They are not stupid. You were a reporter before, so you don’t understand this."

"What do you know? Don't underestimate the danger of those illegal criminals," Chen Yu said angrily: "I'm not nervous. I've been to many more dangerous places than here before. I'm just worried that I won't be able to squat them today. .”

Chen Xu curled his lips and suddenly asked curiously: "By the way, brother, why did you choose journalism? I thought you would choose Ocean University."

Chen Yu raised his eyes and glanced at his younger brother: "Why don't you know?"

"It's definitely not for me," Chen Xu smiled: "But I think you are definitely a good material to be a reporter. These days, there are not many people like you with the light of justice in their eyes."

"Bah~" As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Xu lightly slapped himself in the mouth: "Why do I feel so disgusting when these words are said in my mouth?"

"coming,"

Just when Chen Yu was about to reprimand his younger brother for having weird thoughts, Chen Xu knocked on the table, pointed at a truck driving from a distance, and said nervously: "They are here, that's the truck."

"Come on, let's go there. Remember to keep your facial expressions natural." Chen Yu turned around and nodded. He put his bag on his back and told Chen Xu, and then walked directly towards the alley.

"Brother, let's go in directly like this?"

Chen Yu watched the truck drive into the small factory and wanted to follow it in, but Chen Xu grabbed him and said with a worried look on his face: "How about we call the police first?"

"You go to the intersection and wait, I'll go in and take a look." Chen Yu looked at the camera on the outer wall of the factory, then turned to look at Chen Xu: "I have to go in and take some photos as evidence. Wait five minutes. If I If you don’t come out, call the police immediately. ... Go quickly, why are you still standing there?”

"Then be careful yourself."

Chen Xu looked at Chen Yu's determined face and could only nod in agreement. Watching Chen Yu walk into the factory, he immediately turned around and walked towards the entrance of the alley. He stood at the entrance of the alley with his ears pricked up and anxiously looking at the time on his watch. Minutes passed.

Five minutes passed and Chen Yu still hadn't come out, so Chen Xu immediately called the police.

When he saw his eldest brother again, Chen Yu was carried out on a stretcher by the police. Chen Yu was lying on a stretcher, and Chen Xu was startled by his pale face.

Chen Xu rushed over, lay on Chen Yu and cried: "Brother, brother! What's wrong with you? Are you okay? You don't want to die..., what should I do if you die? How can I explain to my mother!" !”

"Ah!~"

"What are you doing?"

The dark and thin policeman on the side hurriedly pulled Chen Xu away and said angrily: "Why are you crying? The injured only injured his arm and calf, he will not die. Do you know that if you press him like this, it will aggravate the injury?" "

Just as Chen Yu was about to speak, he was suppressed by Chen Xu. Chen Xu's body weighing more than 100 kilograms pressed down on the fractured arm. He groaned and was so painful that he could not speak. A large amount of sweat oozed from his forehead. beads.

"what?!"

Chen Xu hurriedly stood up and saw his elder brother's face turning from white to red and glaring at him angrily. He couldn't help but laugh: "I, I care about you. What you did just now was too scary."

"Let's go, take the injured to the hospital first." The thin black policeman greeted several colleagues next to him, and together they carried Chen Yu into the car. They turned to look at Chen Xu: "You are his brother, right? Let's get together. Go ahead."

"Good good!"

Chen Xu hurriedly followed and got into the car.

Grand Hyatt Mansion, 1201.

"Oh, Miss Zhong, just put it down and let me do it."

Sister Chen saw Zhong Xiaoqin picking up her sleeves and getting ready to wash vegetables, and hurriedly called out to Zhong Xiaoqin.

"It's okay, I have nothing to do anyway," Zhong Xiaoqin said with a smile, "Otherwise, I would always feel guilty if I was always freeloading."

"What's the point?" Sister Chen said with a smile, "I was originally going to make Ziyan's meal, so it's not too much trouble to cook two more dishes."

"that is,"

Gu Jia, who was looking at the computer on the side, raised his head and smiled: "You can eat in peace, don't be polite here."

"You really don't want to eat tonight?"

Zhong Xiaoqin looked at the glass of carrot juice next to Gu Jia and couldn't help but ask: "I wanted to ask you yesterday, will you get stomach problems like this?"

"Of course not," Gu Jia smiled: "I have been eating like this for more than a month, and I feel much better than before, and I don't feel any discomfort. I went to the hospital for a checkup, and all the physical indicators are better than before. Well, do you want to try this method?"

"I don't want it," Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head: "I'm most afraid of starving. I can't bear not eating even one meal."

Gu Jia smiled and said: "It only takes twenty-one days to develop a habit. As long as you persist in the first few days and adapt to it, it will be fine."

"It still doesn't work. I don't have the perseverance you have," Zhong Xiaoqin shook her head firmly.

Gu Jia shrugged and said regretfully: "Okay, you can eat."

"Thank you for your hard work, Sister Zhao." Zhong Xiaoqin thanked Sister Zhao, turned to look at Gu Jia and said, "Can I turn on the TV and watch it for a while?"

"It's okay to watch the news," Gu Jia nodded: "Just watch it."

After saying that, he lowered his head and looked at the computer screen again.

Zhong Xiaoqin happily turned on the TV, and the familiar face of Xiao Lijun, the hostess of the local news program in Shanghai, appeared on the screen:

"Now a piece of local news, according to our reporter:

This morning, through clues, the police uncovered a den of high imitation luxury goods in Qingzhuang Town. In this operation to crack down on counterfeiting, a group of people selling and manufacturing counterfeit goods were captured. Two of them were the parties involved in the recent sale of counterfeit high-end brand sports shoes in well-known shopping malls. According to the criminal suspects, they cooperated with their accomplices in the mall to put high-quality imitation products on the shelves, then bought them back themselves, and then went to the mall to claim compensation..."

Watching the news, Zhong Xiaoqin opened her mouth wide. Has she been wronged? I immediately wanted to call Chen Yu and tell him the good news.

But as soon as I touched it, I remembered that the phone was with Gu Jia. I stood up and walked towards Gu Jia, excitedly saying: "Gu Gu, my matter is solved! Now the truth is out, haha~~, hurry, where is my phone? I Give Chen Yu a call."

"What? What's going on?"

Gu Jia looked at Zhong Xiaoqin in surprise.

"News, the news just broadcast a piece of news," Zhong Xiaoqin was a little incoherent in excitement: "The counterfeit manufacturing and selling den was seized by the police, and the two people who made the claim and slandered me were their accomplices, hahaha, I have to tell Chen Yu, let him not worry."

"I'll get it for you."

Seeing Zhong Xiaoqin dancing happily, Gu Jia laughed happily, walked to the room, took out the phone and handed it to Zhong Xiaoqin. Just at this time, Zhong Xiaoqin's cell phone rang.

Gu Jia joked: "You guys really have a good understanding. I guess he must have read the news."

"Yeah!" Zhong Xiaoqin nodded happily and took the phone. When she heard the message on the phone clearly, her face froze and she asked in disbelief:

"What did you say? Your brother is in the hospital?"
