When I left, it was already dusk.
I had been delayed at the case handling office for the entire day…
At the roadside taxi stand, I sent Zhao Peng a text message, briefly mentioning that the matter had been resolved.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Peng's call came right back—
"Mr. Gu, you're in the provincial city?"
"When did you arrive?"
"How long do you plan to stay?"
Gu Changsheng laughed, "What is this, a census survey? Do I need to report everything to you now?"
"Hehe, just kidding." Zhao Peng chuckled awkwardly. He knew Mr. Gu was joking and didn't inquire about the case. With Mr. Zhang on the job, how could it not be handled?
"Mr. Gu, I just wanted to extend my hospitality as a local."
"Forget it. Jiayi and I came together. I don't have time to bother with you. I won't be leaving any time soon, so we'll talk when I'm free."
Zhao Peng didn't dare to insist, and the two exchanged a few more words before hanging up.
