Chapter 1992: Chapter 453: Husbands Are Important Too [First Update]
Inside the interrogation room:
Jian Ran glanced at the leader, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and spoke.
"Officer Lu, please take him away."
"Alright, Miss Jian."
Officer Lu exchanged a look with Jian Ran, immediately understanding what she meant.
With a wave from Officer Lu, other officers immediately stepped forward to take the leader away.
The others looked at each other, even more uncertain.
"You... what are you going to do?"
"This is abuse of authority!"
The leader wanted to shout more, but he was quickly dragged away and couldn’t say anything.
Jian Ran smirked slightly; now that the leader was gone, the rest were just a motley crew.
Ready to... strike at any moment.
"Speak up, how do you plan to explain this? Hmm?"
Jian Ran’s voice was icy, exuding a distant vibe that sent chills down people’s spines.
"It’s your first offense, right? A first offense means straight to the police station, doesn’t sound too good, right?"
Jian Ran’s lips curled into a faint sneer, as she looked at the still doubtful crowd, confidently speaking.
"Don’t doubt my words... There will be the most authoritative lawyer here to provide you with legal consultation. After all, it’s a society governed by law, and we must follow legal procedures."
The crowd: "..."
The crowd became more uneasy.
Jian Ran continued to speak.
"Moreover... the Gu Family does not lack funds, I can take you to court, and you’ll end up in jail, with elderly and children at home, and there is no way to escape."
Jian Ran spoke lightly, yet it sent cold sweat dripping down everyone’s backs.
"You... you’re unreasonable... We are just stating the facts..."
"Yes, you can’t do anything to us."
"You’re abusing your power... bullying ordinary citizens..."
Hearing the man’s words, Jian Ran smirked.
"Sorry, but there’s illicit money flowing into your accounts... Moreover, you haven’t purchased any jewelry from the Gu Family... Isn’t the evidence conclusive enough?"
"And... Abuse of power? Why don’t you admit you took dirty money and are deliberately smearing our name?"
The crowd: "..."
Seeing Jian Ran speak with evidence, the crowd felt even more uneasy.
"Yes, don’t hesitate, I want to know the time and place of the next planned disturbance, and the statements to be made. If you can redeem your mistakes, I may consider not pressing charges."
After all, Little Cubao was just born, and Jian Ran and Gu Mochen were preparing for their grand wedding.
The people in front of her were in this situation because they had received money.
Jian Ran roughly understood this... let it be.
"I’ll give you some time to think it over. I’ll go to the next room and will come back in half an hour for the answers. Remember, you only have one chance and only half an hour."
The crowd wanted to say something, but Jian Ran already left the interrogation room and headed to the adjacent one.
At the door of the interrogation room, Officer Lu had arranged for someone to be on guard.
"Miss Jian, this person is Huang Dong, 48 years old, with no stable job."
"Hmm, I see."
"Usually... at this age, he’s considered a seasoned troublemaker."
Jian Ran pressed her lips thoughtfully, carefully listening to Officer Lu’s words, then took the file from him to study it thoroughly.
It was mainly a transfer of funds.
In short... the funds were of unclear origin.
"Officer Lu, I might need to take these documents with me. Would it interfere with your work? Because I want to investigate thoroughly."
"No problem, Miss Jian, providing you with assistance is our duty."
Hearing this, Jian Ran thanked Officer Lu gratefully, "I really appreciate it."
...
After quickly going through the documents, Jian Ran handed them to her assistant, indicating that the assistant should investigate and then pass them to Secretary Zhou.
Jian Ran quickly pushed open the door to enter the interrogation room, where only Huang Dong was present.
Other police officers were strictly guarding.
"Huang Dong?"
Jian Ran’s voice was clear and light: "You’re 48 years old... born and raised in Yuncheng City; you must know the influence of the Gu Family in Yuncheng City, right? So, who gave you such audacity or rather... such a huge reward to confront the Gu Family and frame them?"
"I don’t know what you’re talking about. I didn’t frame the Gu Family; I was just stating the facts."
Jian Ran suddenly raised her hand and slapped it on the table.
"Huang Dong, the evidence is conclusive. Since I know you’re the leader among them, I surely have all the evidence and have given it to the police... If you continue to withhold information and intensify the situation, you will be the one who truly suffers in the end."
Huang Dong was completely overwhelmed by Jian Ran’s aura, completely unable to imagine that the seemingly delicate and gentle woman would possess such powerful presence.
Huang Dong swallowed.
"Of course, I know you might argue that you’re alone and have nothing to fear... going to jail could mean the end of it. Hmm, then you are welcome to try because I will make you fully understand the pain and regret of opposing the Gu Family."
Huang Dong was once again overwhelmed, unsure of what to say next.
"Huang Dong, I want to know the implementation plan for the future, the leader of the disturbance activities, and the gathering place, now... tell me."
"I can’t say, otherwise, they won’t let me off."
Huang Dong’s voice trembled a bit.
"Well, if you don’t want to talk, forget it. The people in the interrogation room next door are all smart. I’ll tell them whoever speaks up first will get a reward. Besides, they just want to cause trouble to get to someone responsible. Once you’re locked up, there will be others who will step in and keep going."
The implication is clear.
You are staying silent for them.
Now that you’re in custody, they’re ready to discard you at any moment.
After speaking, Jian Ran seemed completely disinterested in waiting for Huang Dong’s answer, quickly turning to walk toward the interrogation room door.
Huang Dong stared intently at Jian Ran’s back, and just as Jian Ran was about to leave, he quivered and spoke.
"I’ll tell... I’ll tell..."
Jian Ran smiled satisfactorily at his words.
This Huang Dong wasn’t actually stupid.
"Okay, write it down then..."
After speaking, Jian Ran signaled to her assistant to step forward and have the assistant follow up with Huang Dong to document the entire plan and the people involved in causing trouble.
Once it was written down, Jian Ran immediately had it sent to Gu Family’s security department, asking them to stay alert and informed Officer Lu, asking him to assist with the investigation.
"You should follow up with the people under Huang Dong and see if their statements match his."
"Yes, Miss Jian."
"Alright, I’ll go back to the company to oversee things. You stay here to wrap things up."
"Got it."
...
After Jian Ran returned to the Gu Family, Jian Anguo had already brought Little Cubao over.
From a distance, Little Cubao saw mommy coming and started waving and kicking happily.
Only three months old, the baby was already beginning to recognize people.
Jian Ran felt warm inside and instinctively reached out to hold the little one in her arms.
"Dad, is the baby hungry?"
"Yes, it’s been hard to manage, so I brought him over... you should feed him... after all, you’re his mom."
Jian Ran chuckled softly and said gently.
"Hmm, I’ll feed the baby first then."
"Okay..."
Jian Anguo knew things hadn’t been smooth for the Gu Family recently, so he was doing whatever he could to help Jian Ran ease the burden.
"I’ll go check on the company’s finances first."
"Alright."
...
Jian Ran changed Little Cubao’s diaper, fed him until he was full, and lulled him to sleep before leaving the lounge.
By the afternoon, her assistant had arrived at the Gu Family from the police station.
"Miss Jian, the situation has been resolved. Officer Lu has launched an investigation, and all the information has been relayed to Secretary Zhou."
"Alright, Mo Chen should hear about it soon. Hopefully, things can be stabilized in Yuncheng City so that Mo Chen is not troubled over in Europe."
"Miss Jian, you’ve already relieved Mr. Gu of so many burdens."
Meeting her assistant’s approving gaze, Jian Ran said softly, "Actually... ever since Mo Chen left, I’ve truly realized how hard he works. So compared to that, I’ve not done much."
Marriage should be about sharing responsibilities and supporting each other.
"Go ahead and get busy, thank you."
"Okay... Miss Jian."
...
After a busy day of work, Jian Ran was still burdened. Having finished her tasks, she received a call from Gu Mochen.
Jian Ran let the awake Little Cubao babble to daddy over the phone, making Gu Mochen smile from ear to ear, his laughter traveling through the phone.
"Hearing our son’s voice makes you so happy?"
"Yes, I miss him."
That little rascal loves to cause trouble and fights with me over my wife.
But... I do miss him.
"How about our daughter?"
"She’s still at kindergarten. Your daughter is doing quite well in the middle class, don’t worry."
"Oh?"
How well is she doing?
Gu Mochen clearly wanted to know.
"For example... how she blends in with the teachers and becomes a Boy fan. All the little boys and girls in kindergarten love Tang Bao, and she keeps saying she has a boyfriend named Qin Jin."
Gu Mochen chuckled, and all Jian Ran and Gu Mochen talked about were the kids’ adorable moments. After that, Jian Ran still worried about Gu Mochen, biting her lip as she spoke.
"Mo Chen... any progress in France... looking at the current situation domestically, things are still stable. If someone really is targeting the Gu Family, it’s likely someone from France. You might need to filter who exactly could be doing this."
"Well, the examination on the pregnant woman showed no issues, and the jewelry she wore was checked before it was sold—no radiation exceeded limits. It’s quite possible she used her unborn child for personal gain."
Jian Ran’s eyes dimmed. It seems... there’s nothing too strange in this world.
Jian Ran’s gaze grew colder, raising a hand to rub her temples.
"Hmm... Mochen, be careful abroad."
"Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged for people to secretly protect you, the kids, and father. Your safety means the most to me."
Jian Ran’s heart warmed.
"Who says... my husband is important too..."
