Rebirth 2014: I, the King of Criminal Investigation

Chapter 431 It's not only men who dare to fight to the death.

That night.

Yu Dazhang drove to Yisheng Group.

He had just arrived downstairs when he saw Qu Tuotuo walking briskly toward him.

Once in the car, she asked with a smile:

"What do you want to eat tonight? Should we go grocery shopping?"

Since Yu Dazhang returned to Songhai, she has been in a good mood and her speech has become increasingly gentle.

At the same time, she also enjoyed the meals that Yu Dazhang cooked for her.

Whenever Qu Tuotuo watched him busy in the kitchen, she felt particularly at ease, as if at that moment, this man completely belonged to her.

Let's just find somewhere to eat.

Yu Dazhang looked a bit listless, and his voice was weak and listless.

"I'm too tired today, I want to go home and sleep early."

These past two days, seeing the Yu family causing trouble at the branch office has actually made him more upset than anyone else.

Now that he's suspended from his job, he feels much more relaxed, but also feels weak all over and just wants to get some sleep.

"what happened to you?"

Qu Tuotuo sensed something was wrong and looked at his profile, asking:

"Did something happen? You seem very down."

This was the first time she had ever seen Yu Dazhang like this. Even when he was injured before, she had never seen him so frustrated and dejected.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."

Yu Dazhang started the car:
"Let's eat Western food. I'm starting to like the dining environment of Western restaurants."

Qu Tuotuo stared at him, but finally forced herself to hold back and simply nodded.
"Okay, let's go to our usual place."

Inside the Western restaurant, the two sat facing each other.

For a moment, no one spoke until the food was served, at which point they each began to cut their steaks.

"What happened to you?"

Qu Tuotuo finally asked the question.

When one person is familiar enough with another, they can clearly sense the other person's emotional changes.

Yu Dazhang swallowed the food in his mouth and said slowly:
"I've run into some problems at work, things aren't going well."

He thought that if he used work as an excuse, Qu Tuotuo would stop asking questions.

Unexpectedly, this time she acted out of character and insisted on getting to the bottom of things.

"what's up?"

Her tone was concerned, and tinged with worry.

This matter doesn't involve leaking secrets, and now the entire Songhai police force knows about it.

So Yu Dazhang hesitated only slightly before telling her the whole story.

Of course, he was referring to the official version.

The real reason is known only to him, and he will not reveal it to anyone.

As he listened to the end, Qu Tuotuo's body trembled, his eyes widened, and his knuckles turned white from gripping the knife too tightly.

"Snapped!"

She slammed the knife onto the table.

At this moment, she had completely forgotten that she was in a Western restaurant.

"What a bully!"

Qu Tuotuo's voice was very loud, attracting curious glances from the surrounding diners.

"Grandma, please don't get agitated," Yu Dazhang quickly reassured her.
"I'm fine, and besides, the leaders in the bureau won't just sit idly by."

At that moment, a waiter came over.

"I'm so sorry, please keep your voice down."

He bent slightly and said to Qu Tuotuo:
"So as not to affect other guests' dining experience."

Although Qu Tuotuo's personality is not as quiet and reserved as she appears, she has never behaved rudely in public.

This time it was purely an instinctive reaction.

When she heard that the man named Yu Ze had been rescued, he not only didn't thank her, but even turned around and framed Yu Dazhang, she couldn't hold back any longer.

What she wanted to do most right now was to take the knife in front of her and stab that person a couple of times.

"I'm sorry, we..."

Just as Yu Dazhang was about to explain to the waiter, he saw Qu Tuotuo suddenly stand up:

"I'm not eating anymore!" After saying that, she turned and left.

This is really bad... Yu Dazhang regretted telling her about this.

Recently, Qu Tuotuo has become increasingly gentle with him, to the point that he has forgotten the original personality of this young lady.

Yu Dazhang then paid the bill, got into his car, and saw Qu Tuotuo sitting angrily in the passenger seat, seemingly lost in thought.

"How about we find a park to sit in for a while?" he suggested.

He originally wanted to go home and sleep, but seeing Qu Tuotuo's current state, he became a little worried.

"No, take me home." She replied angrily.

It felt like she was the one being bullied… Yu Dazhang couldn’t quite understand Qu Tuotuo’s thought process, so he could only go along with her:
"Okay, okay, fasten your seatbelt first."

On the road.

Why are you so angry?

Yu Dazhang advised as he drove:
"I'm not even angry anymore. When you encounter someone like that, just think of it as stepping in dog poop on the street. It's just bad luck. There's no need to take it too seriously."

He persuaded her all the way until he got Qu Tuotuo home.

Before getting off the bus, Qu Tuotuo forced a smile:
"Drive carefully on your way back. I'm not angry anymore, and don't think about it anymore."

"Okay, okay." Yu Dazhang quickly nodded in agreement.

She had only taken two steps when she seemed to remember something, turned back and said:

"By the way, I've been very busy at work these past few days, so I can't spend time with you. Take good care of yourself at home."

Yu Dazhang breathed a sigh of relief after Qu Tuotuo entered the house.

When this old lady gets angry, she's icy cold, like a sharp knife waving in front of your eyes.

Could she be thinking of going to the Yu family...? This thought involuntarily popped into Yu Dazhang's mind.

probably not.

Qu Tuotuo wouldn't be that irrational.

Actually, she couldn't be of much help in this kind of situation.

We live in a society governed by the rule of law, and we shouldn't do impulsive things unless she knows the Yu family and can persuade them to stop.

However, judging from her reaction just now, she clearly doesn't know anyone from the Yu family.

Finally, Yu Dazhang sighed helplessly and drove away.

Qu Family Villa.

After Qu Tuotuo entered, she went straight to the bedroom on the second floor.

Qu Wannian, who was drinking tea in the living room, frowned when he saw his daughter's hurried manner.

"What's wrong with this girl?"

"How would I know?" Mrs. Qu replied irritably.
"It looks like they had a fight with someone."

Upon entering the bedroom, Qu Tuotuo closed the door and immediately took out her phone to make a call.

After the call connected, she asked directly:

"Have you heard of the Yu family? Their only son is named Yu Ze."

"I've heard of it; it seems to be a food processing company." The person on the other end of the phone spoke slowly, as if thinking about something. After a moment, they quickened their pace and said:
“I remember now, his family’s company is called Baitong Group, which mainly deals in food processing and brewing, and it has been doing well in recent years.”

Qu Tuotuo silently noted it down in his mind, and then asked:

"I need information on all of this company's partners, the more detailed the better. How long will it take?"

"Well..." the other person hesitated, sounding somewhat troubled.

This little trick obviously wouldn't fool Qu Tuotuo, and she immediately added:

"Name your price, I won't haggle this time. Can I get the materials tomorrow morning?"

There are people who buy and sell information in the business world today.

In fact, such people have existed throughout history, but with the advent of the Internet age, they have become more hidden.

Because private investigators are illegal, they now operate under the name of: Information Consulting Service Company.

"no problem."

The other party agreed very readily this time:

I will send the information to your email before 7 a.m. tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, Qu Tuotuo immediately dialed another number.

"I'll gather the funds tomorrow morning and contact the bank to apply for a stock-pledged loan."

The person on the other end paused for a full three seconds after hearing this before replying:

"What are you trying to do? Do you even know how much stock you own right now?!"
