Chapter 551 Condolences
Author: Jincui
Susie had marked a circle on her calendar since she came back from Guan's house that day.
The circled date is one month from now, and Susie plans to take action herself if Boss Zhou doesn't receive retribution within a month.
After drawing the circle, Susie let the matter go.
The next day, Su Qian went to the processing factory early in the morning. The office next to the new store was still being renovated, and Zhu Zhicheng now worked here.
Seeing Su Qian coming over, Zhu Zhicheng reported to him: "I went to the police station yesterday afternoon. The police told me that the gangster said he set the fire because he was scolded by the workers inside when he was passing there during the day.
He was angry and wanted revenge."
Susie's face was full of questions, "Such a weird reason? Did the police believe it?"
Zhu Zhicheng smiled bitterly, "There's nothing you can do if you don't believe me, and you can't extract a confession through torture."
Susie frowned.
Zhu Zhicheng continued: "The gangster is now in custody and will be charged and brought to court in a while. The police officer told me that it would take about three years to deliberately set a fire without causing serious consequences."
Susie thought for a while, "What about the civil compensation part?"
Criminal liability is one aspect. If her store property is damaged, she can claim civil compensation.
Zhu Zhicheng said: "I don't know this yet -"
Susie found a business card from her bag and said, "Lawyer Wang, please contact him and ask him to follow up on the case."
Zhu Zhicheng took the business card and said, "Okay."
Half a month passed in a flash. That evening, as soon as Susie came home, the phone rang. Susie quickly went over to pick it up, "Hello, hello-"
Lin Jiali's voice came to her ears, "Sissi, you are at home. I have something to tell you."
Susie sat down on the sofa, "Well, you say."
"Well, Sister Baozhu's father has passed away. Tomorrow -"
Susie jumped up from the sofa and asked, "What did you say?" She suspected that she was hallucinating.
Lin Jiali said again, "Sister Baozhu's father passed away. My dad doesn't plan to go to the memorial service tomorrow, so he asked me to go. I think you have a good relationship with Sister Baozhu, so why don't we go together tomorrow?
"
Su Qian couldn't wait to ask: "Isn't Boss Zhou in good health? Why did he die suddenly?"
Lin Jiali said: "You didn't read the newspaper. It was all published in the newspaper. A few days ago, Boss Zhou went to Bidian to buy gems. He encountered a fight between local gangs and was hit by a stray bullet."
Susie's heart was beating a little fast, "I've been busy these days and I really haven't read the newspaper."
Lin Jiali suddenly lowered her voice, "My dad said that Boss Zhou must have used a talisman of some kind, and it was backfired."
Susie held the microphone tightly, "Really, there is such a thing?"
She was a little worried that if this matter spread, it would have any bad impact on Uncle Guan.
Lin Jiali said: "I don't believe it, but my dad seems to believe it."
"He said that Boss Zhou asked Master Guan for the talisman himself. At that time, he felt it was not appropriate, but it was not convenient for him to say."
"I just didn't expect the backlash would be so severe."
Susie pretended to be stupid, "Oh, Master Guan? I know him, he lives next door to my house."
Lin Jiali was surprised, "Do you know Master Guan? My dad said he is very powerful."
"But I don't believe in these things anyway."
"By the way, I want to ask you, will you go to the memorial service tomorrow?"
Susie said without hesitation, "Go."
"Come pick me up tomorrow and we'll go together."
Lin Jiali agreed, "Okay, I'll pick you up around nine o'clock."
Susie hung up the phone and said quickly: "Sister-in-law, where are the newspapers from the past few days? Show them to me."
Sister-in-law Quan quickly brought some newspapers over. Susie flipped through them for a while and quickly found the news she wanted to read.
Sure enough, the newspaper clearly stated that the jewelry tycoon named Zhou was hit by a stray bullet in Bidian and died unfortunately.
Susie read it word for word from beginning to end, and couldn't help but wonder in her mind, was this really an accident, or was it the work of Mr. Du?
Just as he was thinking about Qiao Mu going downstairs, Susie handed him the newspaper and said, "Take a look."
Qiao Mu took it, glanced at it, and quickly understood what Su Qian asked him to see. The corners of his mouth turned up, Master Guan was really capable, and this million was well spent.
Susie stood up with a brisk expression and said, "Tomorrow Carrie and I will go to the memorial service together."
Qiao Mu put his arms around Susie's waist and said, "Well, remember to give me a white flower as well." The corner of his mouth curled up slightly, and he took Susie into the restaurant to eat.
Early the next morning, Susie had breakfast, tied up her hair, and then changed into a black suit.
At almost nine o'clock, the doorbell rang, and Susie went out and got into Lin Jiali's car.
The car drove towards the funeral parlor.
On the way, Su Qian heard from Lin Jiali that Zhou Baozhu had an older brother and a younger brother.
Brother Zhou Chengqi helps Boss Zhou with his business. He says he is doing business, but in fact he does nothing. Eating, drinking and having fun are his main business.
I like to chase female stars the most.
My younger brother Zhou Chengzhi is 22 years old and studying in college in the United States.
We chatted all the way to the funeral home.
Before she got out of the car, Lin Jiali glanced outside and said, "There are reporters."
Susie immediately looked out the car window. Several reporters were taking pictures of the people who came to express their condolences at the entrance of the funeral home.
When the two got out of the car, the reporter didn't recognize them and took pictures of them first.
When she walked to the door, someone handed Susie a white flower.
Su Qian took the white flowers and entered the mourning hall with Lin Jiali.
There are many wreaths in the mourning hall, and everything as far as the eye can see is white.
Susie and Lin Jiali placed flowers in front of the memorial tablet and saluted towards the photo.
Zhou Baozhu, who was wearing sackcloth and mourning, came over quickly and followed him to accompany him.
After the salute, Lin Jiali held Zhou Baozhu's hand and said softly: "My condolences."
Su Qian saw that Zhou Baozhu's eyes were a little swollen and he looked haggard.
At this moment, Su Qian felt very pitiful for Zhou Baozhu who had lost his father.
She was moved with compassion. She felt that as long as Zhou Baozhu did not provoke her in the future, she could pretend that what happened in the past had not happened. Anyway, Xu Chengcai had already gone back to take revenge on her behalf.
Su Qian said sincerely to Zhou Baozhu: "My condolences."
Lin Jiali said: "Where is aunt?"
Zhou Baozhu pointed to one side.
Susie looked over there and saw a woman in her fifties sitting there with straight eyes and a sad expression.
Next to the woman stood two young men wearing sackcloth and mourning. I don't know what they were talking about.
Seeing that the two of them looked similar to Zhou Baozhu, Lin Jiali whispered: "The one wearing glasses is Zhou Baozhu's younger brother Zhou Chengzhi, and the other is Zhou Baozhu's older brother Zhou Chengqi."
Su Qian nodded, and Lin Jiali was about to go over to express condolences to Zhou Baozhu's mother, when she suddenly saw Zhou Chengqi punching Zhou Chengzhi violently, causing Zhou Chengzhi's head to tilt and his glasses to be knocked off.
