Zhang De sighed and said, "You are thinking about something that is so angry. If you hesitate for a while, you will become a murderer!"

The incident of Zhang Yang hitting Zhao Guoliang spread throughout Dongjiang in a short time. Most people believed this matter, but some people believed that Zhang Yang was innocent. This person was Gu Jiatong. When Zhao Guoliang was hit and killed, she was with Zhang Yang, which means that she was the only witness Zhang Yang was not present. Gu Jiatong knew that Zhang Yang was taken away, her first thought was to go to the police station to testify to him, but when she left the house, she suddenly realized that if this matter was told, it might have a great impact on them. She calmly thought about it and called her cousin Zhang Defang first. The purpose of Gu Jiatong calling Zhang Defang was to understand the latest progress of the incident.

Zhang Defang was not surprised when he received the call from his cousin. He knew the ambiguity between Gu Jiatong and Zhang Yang very well.

Gu Jiatong asked bluntly: "Cousin, what happened to Zhang Yang?"

Although Zhang Defang still deeply felt Gu Jiatong's concern for Zhang Yang through the phone. In fact, Gu Jiatong never calls him on his own initiative, and this time it was for Zhang Yang. Zhang Defang sighed and said, "Jiatong, Zhao Guoliang was hit and killed by Zhang Yang's jeep. Now Zhang Yang is identified as the number one suspect!"

Gu Jiatong said angrily: "Is it considered Zhang Yang a murderer just because Zhao Guoliang was hit and killed by his jeep? Anyone can drive that car!"

Zhang Defang smiled bitterly and said, "Jiatong, Zhao Guoliang's two assistants now determine that Zhang Yang is driving, and Zhang Yang cannot provide evidence of his absence. He must provide favorable evidence and reliable witnesses so that he can clear the suspicion!"

Gu Jiatong almost blurted out, but the words stopped to her lips. She knew that Zhang Yang would not tell them about their relationship, so she must have some concerns. Gu Jiatong bit her cherry lips and said, "Cousin, I want to meet Zhang Yang, can I?"

Zhang Defang was very embarrassed: "Now is not the time. This matter is very big. The Provincial Public Security Department suppressed it. You also know the background of the Zhao family. I must do my business on the surface and follow the normal procedures!"

Gu Jiatong said: "I have to see him, and..." She made up her mind and said: "I have important evidence to provide!"

Zhang Defang said: "Then...you come to me first and we will talk about it when we meet!"

Gu Jiatong hung up the phone, took a deep breath, closed her beautiful eyes, and clearly realized her feelings for Zhang Yang. She must not watch Zhang Yang in trouble and remain indifferent. She wants to testify for Zhang Yang!

Gu Jiatong was about to walk out the door, but she heard her father's voice: "Jiatong!"

Gu Jiatong turned around and saw her father standing on the stairs and looking at her quietly. She didn't know when he appeared here, nor how long he had been standing behind her. Gu Jiatong was a little panicked. She turned around and quietly wiped away the crystal clearness of the corners of her eyes. The tears of worry flowed because of Zhang Yang. She was afraid that her father would see her now and said panickedly: "Dad, I have something to deal with, I have to go out now!"

Gu Yunzhi said calmly: "My shoulders are so sore. Come to the study room and rub me your shoulders!" After that, he turned around and walked towards the study room.

Gu Jiatong stood there for a minute before slowly following into the study.

Gu Yunzhi sat facing the window, looking out the window with his eyes. As the spring breeze blows gently, the willow branches touch the glass window from time to time. Gu Yun knew: "The weeping willows by the Xiqiao River are much more beautiful than here."

Gu Jiatong put her soft and slender hands on her father's shoulders. She pressed her gently. She learned this massage technique from Zhang Yang. Thinking of Zhang Yang, Gu Jiatong became more anxious and her techniques changed unconsciously.

Gu Yunzhi frowned: "Jiatong, be gentle, be gentle!"

Gu Jiatong nodded: "Dad, I have something urgent!"

Gu Yunzhi said slowly: "What's the matter?"

Gu Jiatong bit her cherry lips. This matter was indeed hard to say. She had always suspected that her father might have noticed the relationship between her and Zhang Yang. However, if her father didn't ask about some things, she would certainly not say that Zhao Guoliang's death pushed Zhang Yang into difficulties. She was Zhang Yang's only absent witness. If she did not come forward to prove it to Zhang Yang, Zhang Yang might be in trouble this time.

Gu Yun knew: "Jiatong, I am your father. If you have anything to do, just say to your father, don't treat me as the secretary of the provincial party committee. There are only two of us father and daughter here. Whatever you say, Dad listen patiently, okay? No matter how big the matter happens, Dad will stand on your side!"

Gu Jiatong's nose was sour, she finally plucked up the courage to say, "Dad, something happened to Zhang Yang!"

Gu Yunzhi was not surprised. He had heard about this before: "Is it related to the case of Zhao Guoliang being hit and killed?"

Gu Jiatong nodded: "Dad, he is wronged!"

"How do you know?" Gu Yunzhi's tone was as calm as ever. He had already had a preliminary outline of this matter in his heart. He asked this question just to confirm his guess.

"Because... because I was with him last night..." When Gu Jiatong said this, her face was so hot that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into it. This sentence was equivalent to openly confessing to her father the relationship between her and Zhang Yang.

"Didn't you be at home last night?"

"I... I'm out. After you rest, I'll go out! When Zhao Guoliang had a car accident, Zhang Yang and I were together. From 11:30 last night to this morning... seven o'clock, we were all together and never separated at all, so Zhang Yang could not be the murderer. This matter has nothing to do with him!"

Gu Yunzhi nodded. His calm surprised his daughter. Gu Jiatong's hand couldn't help but stop. Gu Yun knew: "The left side, the left side shoulder is so sore!"

Gu Jiatong continued to massage Gu Yunzhi's shoulders, feeling uneasy inside, wondering how her father would feel when these words were?

Gu Yun knew: "It feels very comfortable! Yes! That's it!"

Gu Jiatong said: "Dad, I am the only witness Zhang Yang is not present!"

Gu Yun knew: "Jiatong, you and Wei Zhicheng have been divorced for a while. Have you ever considered your future life?"

Gu Jiatong said: "I have considered it. I feel fear of marriage. I think... I think it's good to live alone!"

Gu Yunzhi sighed: "Okay?"

Gu Jiatong nodded: "I am very happy! I am really happy!"

"Are you happy?"

"Dad, I have never been as happy as I am now!"

Gu Yun knew: "Mingjian's affairs have made me look a lot more open. You are all older and have the right to choose your own life!" He stood up and shook his neck: "Children and grandchildren have their own blessings!"

Gu Jiatong looked at her father in surprise. She didn't expect that her father would show such calmness after knowing her relationship with Zhang Yang. The biggest possibility is that her father had already seen through the relationship between them. She whispered: "Dad, I must testify to him!"

"Give me a reason!"

"I want to tell the truth!"

Gu Yunzhi nodded and sat down at the desk, picked up the phone, and called Wang Boxing, the director of Pinghai Public Security Bureau.

Wang Boxing's voice came from the receiver: "Secretary Gu! Are you asking me for something?"

Gu Yun knew: "I heard you arrested Zhang Yang?"

Wang Boxing explained: "It's just about understanding the situation, not arresting it!"

Gu Yunzhi played with the pen on the table with his fingers: "Do you understand clearly?"

"Secretary Gu, Zhang Yang is very suspicious of the murder of Zhao Guoliang. There are witnesses at the scene. The current situation is very unfavorable to him!"

Gu Yun knew: "That is to say, you don't plan to release him?"

Wang Boxing felt a little embarrassed: "Secretary Gu, we will temporarily detain him before finding strong evidence to prove that he is not present!"

"I'm saying it's not to catch it, but to understand the situation? Boxing, you're playing a word game with me!"

Wang Boxing laughed: "Secretary Gu, we are just following the rules. We are currently actively looking for evidence. The jeep that caused the accident has been found and was thrown into the March 8 River. It is estimated that it has been salvaged now. Don't worry, we will clarify the case as soon as possible!"

Gu Yun knew: "What to figure out?"

Wang Boxing said: "Identify whether this matter has anything to do with Zhang Yang. Both Zhao Guoliang's assistants insisted that at around 1:30 am today, Zhang Yang drove the jeep to create this tragedy, and Zhang Yang could not provide evidence of his absence at the moment."

Gu Yun knew: "What evidence is needed?"

"Someone needs to prove that he is not present during this period, but he cannot provide it!"

Gu Yun knew: "What's wrong with this kid? He had dinner at my house last night and drank two more drinks with me in the evening. I saw that he drank too much and didn't let him go. He stayed at my house all night and left at around six o'clock this morning!"

Hearing his father's words, Gu Jiatong's beautiful eyes widened and she was extremely shocked.

Wang Boxing was stunned. He thought he had heard it wrong: "Secretary Gu, this incident has a great impact..."

Gu Yunzhi said coldly: "So what? Can't I testify for him?"

"no……"

"That's what do you suspect that I helped Zhang Yang commit perjury?"

Wang Boxing's forehead was already sweating on the other end of the phone: "Secretary Gu, of course I believe in you!"

Gu Yun knew: "Then let the person go!"

"But……"

Gu Yunzhi's voice suddenly became louder: "But what? Since I have testified for him, I will be responsible for anything. What are you worried about and doubt? Do you want me to go to the police station to record a confession?"

Wang Boxing didn't even dare to say anything at this time, and said in his heart that Zhang Yang didn't know what kind of virtue he had accumulated from his ancestors. Gu Yunzhi protected him like this. After Gu Yunzhi finished venting, he said: "Secretary Gu, don't be angry, I'll report this matter now!"

"You are the director of the Pinghai Public Security Department, who should you report to? Let me release you now!" Gu Yunzhi finished this sentence in an unquestionable tone, and then hung up the phone heavily.

Gu Jiatong pursed her lips, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. She never expected that her father would stand beside her without hesitation at this time, give her support, and even lie for her. She said tremblingly: "Dad...why..."

Gu Yunzhi smiled faintly and said, "You are my daughter. I believe everything you say. I must protect you and don't want rumors to hurt you!" Indeed, if Gu Jiatong stood up to testify for Zhang Yang, it would inevitably cause an uproar in Pinghai. At this time, Gu Yunzhi played the role of a father first.

"Thanks!"

Gu Yunzhi stood up with a smile, came to her daughter, stretched out her hand to wipe away the tears from her face: "Silly child, I am your father!"

Wang Boxing put down the phone and wiped away the cold sweat from his forehead. Gu Yunzhi wanted to testify for Zhang Yang. The weight of this witness was too heavy. Even if he had any doubts about it, he would not dare to investigate the authenticity of Gu Yunzhi's words. When he was about to pick up the phone, the phone rang.

The caller was Governor Song Huaiming this time.

When Wang Boxing heard Song Huaiming's voice, he realized that the governor's purpose of calling was probably for publicity.

Sure enough, Song Huaiming's first sentence was: "Why should we capture Zhang Yang!"

Wang Boxing repeated the reason.

Song Huaiming said: "Since it is a suspicion, that is, he may be guilty or not, is it too hasty for you to arrest him like this? He is a deputy department-level cadre and a Communist Party member. Is your approach lacking consideration before there is no definite evidence?"

Wang Boxing was really a little scared. If this continues, the next call might be Vice Premier Wen. He smiled and said, "Governor Song, the witness has been found. I will immediately order the release of Zhang Yang!"

Song Huaiming said: "Have you found a witness?"

"yes!"

"who?"

"Secretary Gu!"

The small iron door opened from outside, Zhang Defang walked in with a smile. He came to Zhang Yang and said happily: "Brother, you, why are you so much trouble!"

Zhang Yang didn't know what happened, and looked at Zhang Defang with some confusion: "You smiled so brightly, what good things have you encountered?"

"It's not your business. Why didn't you say that you had dinner at Secretary Gu's house last night?"
