Accidentally Married to the Big Shot-Chapter 291 - : Gu Wei Takes Action

Chapter 291 -291: Gu Wei Takes Action

Su Meixi asked, “What do you think the pediatric inpatient department should be like?”

“Kids are hospitalized, parents must be anxious, right?” asked Gu Wei.

“Most of them are, but there are several types of situations. When kids are hospitalized and stuck on those tiny hospital beds getting IV drips for hours, they are bound to get fussy. That’s when you see the different types of parents.

One type is patient and gentle, they’ll sit with their kids, read books or tell stories, helping them calmly finish their drips.

Another type is gentle but not patient, these parents, to keep their kids quiet, will hand them a phone to watch cartoons, and they also browse on their phone without bothering each other.

Then, there are those who lack patience; they snap at their kids — stop fussing or I’ll have the nurse come and give you another shot! If the kid doesn’t listen, they lose their patience and hit them.”

Gu Wei said, “I would definitely be the first type.”

Su Meixi chuckled, “Don’t speak too soon. Taking care of children really tests your patience. Before having kids, many people swear they’ll never hit them. But once the child is three or four, they’re smacking them every three days and giving lighter punishments every two days.”

Gu Wei said, “So, are you trying to say, the way you treat your children will determine how they treat you when they’re grown up? Those irritable parents in pediatrics, once they end up in geriatrics, shouldn’t expect to have it easy?”

Su Meixi nodded. “Husband, you’re really clever to catch on so quickly.”

Gu Wei chuckled, “Then there’s also a child like me who has never been a trouble to his parents since a young age. My mom wanted to discipline me, but she really couldn’t manage it.”

“What about when you were an infant?”

“As an infant, I was an angel baby too. I’d eat when hungry, sleep when fed, and could amuse myself by counting my fingers, rarely troubling the adults—not my own words, my mom said this.”

Su Meixi laughed, “Then you truly were an angel baby. Your type grows up to be really independent, but emotional attachments are weak because nobody can really manage you.”

Gu Wei smiled.

…

The next day, Su Meixi went to work, and Gu Wei also left the house.

He headed to the police station.

One of the leaders at the police station had previously been Gu Wei’s subordinate, named Zhang Miao. Upon seeing Gu Wei, Zhang Miao immediately came out to greet him.

He knew why Gu Wei was there and proactively said, “Those two guys who intercepted your wife mid-way last time are still locked in the detention center.”

Gu Wei asked, “How is the interrogation going?”

“Both are tight-lipped. Interrogating suspects these days doesn’t allow physical force, which is tough, otherwise I would have beaten them up already.”

“Get me their files,” Gu Wei commanded.

Zhang Miao went to fetch the files.

After looking through them for a while, Gu Wei said, “Can anything be figured out from their call records?”

“These two are typical thugs, always hanging around bars, and the people they talk to, besides family, are bouncers at the bars. Those bouncers are essentially security, maintaining order but need real skills to deal with drunken, disorderly patrons.”

Gu Wei said, “Give me the list of those bouncers.”

“There are two they frequently contact, one nicknamed Zhao Gongji, and the other, Cai Datou.” Zhang Miao passed the list to Gu Wei.

Gu Wei then went to visit the two thugs in detention.

When Gu Wei, imposing and stern without uttering a word, confronted the rogues, they were visibly intimidated.

“The person who beat you last time was my wife,” finally spoke Gu Wei.

Rogue A immediately showed a fearful expression, “No wonder she could fight so well, did you, did you teach her?”

Gu Wei said, “You threatened her, and I won’t let this slide—I’ll repay the favor.”

“Repay the favor, so you want to beat us too? That won’t do, you clearly have a public office, and if you hit us, you, you would be breaking the law.”

“Public office? I won’t have it soon,” Gu Wei sneered.

After handing over his position, he had a month where he was free from duties. During this period, he was nothing official; as long as he controlled his strength, teaching them a lesson physically could be considered a mere scolding.

Besides, when had Gu Wei ever acted in a way that allowed others to catch him out?

Rogue B said, “We scared your wife, we’ll definitely compensate, just name your price, we’re willing to pay.”

“Do you think you have enough money?”

“Money… there is some, but not much, still there are a few thousand,” Rogue B said.

Gu Wei asked, “So you tell me, should I search your place? There might be more than just a few thousand, especially some untraceable cash.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the two rogues looked slightly panicked and glanced at each other.

Gu Wei said, “It seems I have no choice but to conduct a search.”

The two rogues only panicked briefly and weren’t scared. So many police officers had been there before and found nothing; could this tall man in front of them find anything?

…

Gu Wei got a search warrant from Zhang Miao and went back with several officers to search the rogues’ home.

The families of the two rogues claimed they had never seen any untraceable money but disclosed the places they frequently visited.

Gu Wei consequently searched each of these regular spots.

To Gu Wei, these two rogues must have been instructed by someone, this person must have offered them considerable benefits, which motivated them to prefer staying in custody rather than disclosing this person.

Perhaps, revealing this individual would lead to their retaliation.

This time, Gu Wei was determined to expose this person.

Otherwise, there would be a next time.

He would protect his own wife, his own guardian.

After searching for seven or eight hours, Gu Wei finally found a cache of 100,000 yuan in cash in a storage locker at a supermarket.

Without Gu Wei’s firm resolve, who would have guessed those two rogues would hide the money there?

After all, Su Meixi’s case was too trivial, she hadn’t caused any losses, less significant than someone losing a phone, which couldn’t be recovered; her case would be even less prioritized.

Gu Wei took the money to the detention center and saw the two rogues again.

He pushed the money in front of the two rogues, and they immediately panicked.

“This, this is our salary.”

“Salary always comes from somewhere. Who paid you? Such a large amount of money, have you paid taxes on it?”

“…” The two rogues were completely dumbfounded.

Gu Wei continued, “This money is now with me. If you reveal the person who instructed you, I will return half of it to you. If you don’t, then continue to be detained, and you won’t get a dime.”

Hearing this, the rogues, worried about not retrieving a single penny, immediately disclosed Zhao Gongji, saying it was the enforcer Zhao Gongji who had instructed them to act.

Zhao Gongji? Gu Wei took note.

That day, Su Meixi got off work and saw that Gu Wei hadn’t come home yet.

Puzzled, he always came home early before, why was he so late today?

She called him on his phone, and Gu Wei said he was taking care of something and would be home soon.

Su Meixi said they should order takeaway then, they wouldn’t cook dinner tonight, and Gu Wei agreed.

When the takeaway arrived, Gu Wei had also reached the gate, and the delivery was not allowed inside the community, which gave Gu Wei a chance to bring it in himself.

“Where were you today?” Su Meixi asked.

Gu Wei smiled, “I was investigating something.”

“Oh, what’s so secretive that you can’t even tell me?” Su Meixi said this as she began to tickle him.

Gu Wei felt ticklish and couldn’t help but lift her up, “If you keep tickling, you keep tickling, don’t you know you can’t touch a tiger’s butt?”

The couple played and laughed for a while before they started to eat.

“Is it tasty?” Su Meixi asked while eating the takeaway.

“It’s delicious, my wife orders takeaway well.”

“Thank you for the compliment.”
