108: Chapter 108 Mmm~ It smells so good
Although Mr. Zheng's family was not a top-tier family in Zhili Country, they could still be considered the elite of the elite.
Therefore, in his view, there was nothing they could not accomplish.

"Robinson, although we have already notified the reporters, and the reporters caused Inspector Zhong to be taken away by the Disciplinary Committee, this was not our original intention. Weren't we trying to flush out the person behind Inspector Zhong? Now that things have turned out this way, how are we supposed to rescue him?"
Xia Wei was a bit worried because now that the Disciplinary Committee had taken Inspector Zhong away, she feared the next step would be difficult to carry out.
Zhang Shan really didn't understand how such a seemingly mature and steady woman could be so flustered.
He patted Xia Wei's hand.
"Don't be anxious. This is only the first step. Later on, the person who bought the machines should appear."
"Really? Didn't you tell me before that he didn't care about this batch of items?"
Xia Wei was still somewhat skeptical. After all, Zhang Shan had told her at the time that the buyer might not want this batch of items anymore. But now he was saying the buyer would appear. It felt a bit contradictory.
"Yes, I feel he will appear. I always have a premonition that the person who bought this batch of weapons has an inseparable connection with Inspector Zhong. Perhaps he is the mastermind behind the scenes. If he really is the mastermind, he will definitely be unable to restrain himself and will come out." Zhang Shan analyzed.
"How is that possible? These are his things; why would he go to such great lengths to frame us?" Xia Wei was slightly incredulous.
"I suspect that the batch of laboratory machines they bought might not be for general chemical experiments. They might be researching some shady things, so this person might risk taking the items back."
"Then what is the relationship between this buyer and the person pulling the strings behind the scenes?"
"I'm not very clear on that either. Perhaps for some reason, he teamed up with Inspector Zhong to deal with us. But my intuition tells me that both of these things were done by the same person."
Zhang Shan analyzed the situation logically. However, what he didn't know was that he had only guessed a part of it, and only an insignificant part at that. He could never have imagined what the real reason behind this matter was.
Xia Wei nodded. Although she felt Zhang Shan's analysis made some sense, it still seemed a bit unreliable. But since things had reached this point, she had no choice but to believe it.
"But if that's the case, there's no need for them to say we are drug trafficking. That clearly means they want to drag us down with them!" Xia Wei still didn't understand.
"Well, that might have something to do with Inspector Zhong. After all, when we arrived at Customs, we didn't give him any face. Since he works in officialdom, this shouldn't be the first time he's done something like this. He didn't expect that we wouldn't give him a way out, so he felt his face was slighted and wanted to teach us a lesson."
Zhang Shan picked up a newspaper and saw the report on Inspector Zhong's "great achievements." He really hadn't expected that Inspector Zhong would be so bold! To have done so many things in Shanhai Pass over these few years. Impressive!
"Actually, if you ask me, this Inspector Zhong is quite stupid. If he had just casually pinned some charge on us, it wouldn't have mattered. But he insisted on saying we were drug trafficking. Isn't that a life-threatening matter?"
Gu Nan watched the two of them being all lovey-dovey and felt very annoyed. He took advantage of the situation to voice his opinion.
"That is finally one thing you've said correctly."
Zhang Shan smiled.
Xia Wei cast him a dissatisfied glance.
"What time do you think it is? How can you two still laugh?"
"Oh, my dear Miss! You have to look at the bright side. Think about it, this matter hasn't caused us any loss, has it? Haven't the reporters already cleared our name? Plus, we got a free advertising opportunity. Now, in Zhili Country, who doesn't know about our Aolu Group?"
Zhang Shan said with a smile. He pulled her into his arms.
Xia Wei's face suddenly turned bright red.
"What are you doing? Your brother is still here; don't mess around."
"It's fine, it's fine. Let's just pretend he doesn't exist." Zhang Shan teased Xia Wei.
"You, you guys are really too much! Am I a transparent person? Aren't you afraid I'll get a stye in my eye?"
Gu Nan held a document, frantically signaling his presence.
"In my eyes, you are indeed a transparent person. You were the one who kept clamoring to come here. I didn't ask you to come, nor did I ask you to watch. You insisted on watching yourself."
Gu Nan sat on the sofa, drawing circles in grievance. They only knew how to bully him, this poor little thing!
No, he had to resist.
Suddenly, Manager Liu's little face appeared in his mind. At the thought of Manager Liu, his heart surged with excitement.
"You two just stay here and be lovey-dovey. I won't stay here to serve you anymore."
Gu Nan said, sounding a bit childish.
"You should have left a long time ago. With you here, it's inconvenient for me to do things. If it weren't for Xia Wei's thin skin, I would have kicked you out long ago. I don't know why you are so thick-skinned and love eating dog food so much, just sitting there without moving."
Xia Wei's face turned redder and redder as she listened to Zhang Shan roasting Gu Nan.
"Oh, stop talking. This is the company; what are you saying?"
Xia Wei said coquettishly.
"You, you two. It seems this place can no longer accommodate me. I am so pitiful. Not only is no one loving me, but I'm also being force-fed dog food by others. In the end, I'm even blamed for not knowing what's good for me."
Gu Nan pretended to be about to cry, acting hypocritically.
"If you don't leave, believe it or not, I'll make sure you get your fill of dog food!"
Zhang Shan really admired Gu Nan's composure; even like this, he still wouldn't leave.
"Hmph, you don't need to drive me away; I'll leave on my own."
Gu Nan looked humiliated. Zhang Shan waved his hand, signaling him to leave quickly, to leave quickly.
Gu Nan walked downstairs to the company in a huff.
He stood there and thought for a while. No, he couldn't just leave so spinelessly.
I want to go find Manager Liu, I want to win the beauty's heart. After saying that, he walked back into the company.
Manager Liu finally had a moment of leisure. She was bored and picking at her fingers.
Knock, knock, knock.
She was startled, thinking her supervisor had caught her slacking off. She stood up abruptly.
"Oh my! Manager Liu is so excited to see me, it really makes me feel flattered."
Gu Nan said in a devil-may-care manner.
It's him again! This jinx again! Why is her luck so bad, running into him twice in one day? She would rather have been caught slacking off by her supervisor.
"CEO Ao, why are you here? Is there something you need me to help you handle?"
"No, I just came to take a look."
Gu Nan remained just as brazen, even though he was in the wrong.
