Chapter 55: Was Gu Shao heading over to Zhang Qiang’s place? (1)

Gu Shao didnt have too much of an expression on him this entire time. His face, however, dropped when he saw Zhang Youfu starting at Lin Xi, who was standing next to him.

No, said Gu Shao.

But my purpose of visit has something to do with Zhang Cui.

Oh, do come inside then. Zhang Youfu had no idea who Gu Shao was but his instinct told him that he was someone that he couldnt afford to offend.

Lin Xi walked in next to Gu Shao.

Even though both houses were in the same village, Zhang Youfus house was much better than Zhang Qiangs. Not only was this house newly built, it was also much cleaner than Zhang Qiangs place.

Zhang Youfu invited Gu Shao inside the house and offered him tea.

There were many people inside of Zhang Youfus house and they all stood to one side and peeked over at Gu Shao and Lin Xi.

You are a friend of Zhang Cuis? What brought you here today? asked Zhang Youfu. He had reflexively lowered his hand in front of Gu Shao.

Gu Shao didnt waste any time either. He said, point blank, Zhang Cui transferred a childs household register under your family a few days ago, right?

I am the childs father and I am here to transfer her household register out.

Everybody at Zhang Youfus house were stunned by what Gu Shao had said.

They looked from Gu Shao to Lin Xi: Is this the girl?

Zhang Cui told them that a daughter of one of Song Kexins husbands relative had gone mad and it was untreatable. They didnt want to be embarrassed so they have sent to her the village.

But this girl in front of them looked just fine.

Besides, didnt words on the street had it that she was locked up by Zhang Qiang?

Zhang Youfu was very baffled and, right at that moment, Zhang Youfus wife jumped out and said, Hi, Boss, I think you had it wrong. Zhang Cui did transfer a child over to our family a couple of days ago but that was a child from a friend of Zhang Cuis. I dont think we are talking about the same girl.

Zhang Youfus wife had no idea what Zhang Cui had up her sleeves. Nevertheless, Zhang Cui had promised to send them money annually as long as the childs household register was under their family.

No fool would turn down a deal this sweet. They didnt even need to do anything or to feed her.

Zhang Youfu nodded as well. Thats right. Zhang Cui was the one who came to us and we have no way to prove your relationship with Zhang Cui or whether you are telling the truth. We cant just transfer the household register out just like that.

If you want it transferred out, had Zhang Cui come.

As soon as Zhang Youfu had said that, his wife interrupted him right away. Not even if Zhang Cui is here. So what if you said you are the girls father? I can say that you are not! Shes already under our family. By law, she is one of us. We get to decide whether to transfer her out.

Sure, we can transfer her out. But not without more money.

That was the plan that was going through Zhang Youfus wifes mind, obviously trying to muck things out.

Gu Shao snickered and his eyes turned colder.

First of all, I dont need to prove to you whether I am or am not Lin Xis father.

Secondly, if you want to talk about law, then lets talk about the law. Gu Shao paused before carrying on. Lin Xi is my child. She has nothing to do with your family from the blood or relationship perspective. You have just transferred an unrelated childs household register to under your family and even had her locked up in the village without the permission of her parents. I can press charges for kidnapping at any given time.

Gu Shaos voice was calm but his aura allowed no room for disagreement.

As such, his half facts were able to make Zhang Youfus family turn pale.

Aiya, you cant just go around accusing us like this. Zhang Cui was the one who transferred the child over. That has nothing to do with us. And it was Zhang Qiang who had her locked up Zhang Youfus wife quickly rebutted. A group of traffickers had operated around a few villages in the area. It was said that the penalty was very severe.

Gu Shao carried on expressionlessly. You can argue about your involvement in court. That being said, do you think the judge will be more inclined to listen to you or me?
