Chương 72: This is the real Prince of Love Letters!

"Hmm?" Zhu Liqiang paused, looking at the two uncles in hats beside him. The two uncles in hats were also a little surprised. How did Zhou Yan know? It was indeed Wang Qi who implicated Zhou Erwa Restaurant. He swore that Zhou Yan was his long-term customer. However, they checked Wang Qi's accounts and found no purchase records from Zhou Erwa Restaurant. Wang Qi's explanation was that he hadn't kept some records, insisting that Zhou Yan often came to him to buy diseased pork.

The Wang Laowu noodle stall incident had a significant impact, and several textile factory workers who regularly ate his noodles were arguing. Zhou Erwa Restaurant was located at the entrance of the textile factory. After Wang Qi reported it in the detention center, the center took it very seriously and immediately contacted the health station to investigate. The routine inspection was just a side effect.

"Zhou Yan, how do you know that Wang Qi reported you? Could it be that you really bought diseased pork from him?" Zhu Liqiang said in a deep voice. The two uncles in hats were also staring at Zhou Yan, blocking his escape route from the left and right.

"Zhou Yan wouldn't really use diseased pork, would he?"

"No way! It's rare to find such a delicious restaurant!" The customers were all starting to worry.

"I never bought diseased pork from Wang Qi. On the contrary, I discovered and reported him for selling diseased pork." Zhou Yan pulled up his collar to cover his mouth and nose, looking at Zhu Liqiang and said, "Because I am a discerning citizen!"

"Ah! You! It's you!" Zhu Liqiang's eyes widened, looking at Zhou Yan in shock.

"Director Zhu, what's wrong with you?" The two epidemic prevention workers and the two men in hats looked at him in confusion. Gao Tianlei had just finished explaining the situation and walked into the restaurant. Seeing Zhou Yan pulling up his collar and saying those words, he was also surprised and said, "It's you!" The Wang Qi diseased pork incident was caused by the report from that discerning citizen, which led them to successfully dismantle the illegal gang headed by Wang Qi.

The case was handled brilliantly, and their epidemic prevention station received an award. He had been wanting to thank this citizen, but he didn't expect to meet him here. Wait... wasn't Zhou Erwa Restaurant the restaurant that Wang Qi reported for using diseased pork? What was going on? The guests were also a bit confused. Zhou Yan said he was the one who reported Wang Qi? Then how could Wang Qi report him?

"I know, Wang Qi is retaliating! He's deliberately framing Zhou Yan and Zhou Erwa's restaurant!" a guest exclaimed, slamming his fist on the table. Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood. That made sense. Aunt Zhao, who had been building up her emotions and was ready to unleash her fury, suddenly held back, staring blankly at Zhou Yan, still somewhat bewildered. Zhou Yan lowered his collar, looked at Gao Tianlei, and laughed, "Station Chief Gao, I reported Wang Qi and got him arrested.

Can he turn around and implicate me too? Don't I have valid suspicions that Wang Qi is retaliating against me and framing Zhou Erwa Restaurant?" The two men in hats, led by Deputy Director Xia Ji, looked at Gao Tianlei and asked, "Station Chief Gao, what's going on?"

"This young comrade is the concerned citizen who reported Wang Qi for selling diseased pork last week, which is why we were able to bring Wang Qi and Wang Laowu to justice. However, last time he..." Gao Tianlei briefly explained the situation to Xia Ji. The matter became clear. Zhou Yan was a concerned citizen who reported the diseased pork vendor, and now Wang Qi had turned the tables on him. The situation was self-evident.

Wang Qi couldn't produce any concrete evidence; he accused Zhou Erwa Restaurant of using diseased pork without any proof, clearly intending to retaliate. He wanted to drag the newly revitalized Zhou Erwa Restaurant down with his life! Zhu Liqiang was already regretting it. Such a clean and hygienic restaurant, with such a righteous young owner, almost had its hard-earned reputation and goodwill ruined by a criminal's false accusation!

"So Wang Qi was reported by Zhou Yan! This guy has been selling diseased pork, causing terrible harm to the people of Suji!"

"Wang Laowu was also implicated because of this. If it weren't for Zhou Yan, we might still be eating Wang Laowu's diseased pork noodles!" The restaurant's customers applauded, looking at Zhou Yan with admiration. Aunt Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, turned her face away to wipe away tears, and smiled, saying, "I knew it! It was that brainless bastard Wang Qi talking nonsense; his heart is as black as swill." The rest was simple.

Because of the identity of the whistleblower who reported the diseased pork, and because Wang Qi had no concrete evidence, and no evidence related to diseased pork was found at Zhou Erwa's restaurant, Did you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author. and because Zhou Yan had a stable pork supplier, the butcher Zhang Laosan, all of these things could be verified.

So the health station announced on the spot that Zhou Erwa's restaurant did not use diseased pork, clearing Zhou Yan's name and essentially supporting him.

"Comrade Zhou Yan, your report protected the lives of the people. I will apply for an award for you when I get back." Gao Tianlei shook hands with Zhou Yan and left with Zhu Liqiang. Deputy Director Xia Ji and another man in a hat asked Zhou Yan a brief question, signed the papers, and prepared to leave.

"Zhou Yan, check please." Zhou Weiguo walked over and said to Zhou Yan. Xia Ji noticed his empty left sleeve, his slightly limping left foot, and the gleaming badge on his chest. Suddenly, he thought of something and tentatively asked, "Are you Comrade Zhou Weiguo?"

"Yes, I am." Zhou Weiguo nodded, took out six mao (0. 6 yuan) and handed it to Zhou Yan.

"Uncle, don't give me any. It's family, we should pay for a bowl of noodles." Zhou Yan said with a smile.

"Family should pay too. If you don't accept it, I won't come next time." Zhou Weiguo stuffed the money into his hand and said with a smile, "You did a good job protecting the lives of the people."

"It's what I should do." Zhou Yan straightened his back.

"I'm leaving." Zhou Weiguo turned and left.

"Take your time." Zhou Yan said to his retreating figure. Xia Ji glanced at Zhou Yan and followed him towards the door.

"Director Xia, who is he?" the subordinate asked in a low voice." Today, a new member of the town's Party Committee took office, concurrently serving as the Minister of the Armed Forces Department. His name is Zhou Weiguo." Xia Ji looked at the figure riding steadily and quickly with one hand on the handlebars and said softly, "A first-class meritorious serviceman in wartime, a living legend."

" It's him!" The subordinate's eyes also showed admiration. The two epidemic prevention workers who came out with him also showed admiration when they heard this.

"Is the owner of Zhou Erwa Restaurant his nephew?" one of them muttered. The other three turned around and glanced at the restaurant sign, remaining silent. But they all knew that from today onwards, this small, privately-owned restaurant was no longer a place anyone could mess with.... The factory started work at eight o'clock, and the customers in the restaurant quickly finished their meals and went to work.

"Zhou Yan, you're really amazing." Zhao Hong looked at Zhou Yan with admiration. So many officials were surrounding him today, yet Zhou Yan remained completely calm and resolved the matter himself. They should be thanking him.

"It's nothing," Zhou Yan waved his hand dismissively.

"When did you report Wang Qi? And Wang Laowu too? I've never heard you mention it before?" Zhao Hong pressed Zhou Yan for details.

"I just happened to see him that day when I went out, and I thought his flesh looked a bit off. I happened to run into the deputy director of the epidemic prevention station, so I reported him. I also reported Wang Laowu." Zhou Yan grinned, "I'm doing a public service." Aunt Zhao nodded, "That's really good. You have to be upright and honest in your actions, otherwise people will talk behind your back! Like Wang Qi and Wang Laowu, they'll be cursed and beheaded for the rest of their lives."

"Aunt Zhao's advice is right. I learned from you. You can't tolerate any injustice. You have to be an honest person." Zhou Yan nodded in deep agreement.

"That's right." Aunt Zhao raised her chin with some pride.

"When Momo wakes up later, can you break off a piece of the leftover dough in the bowl and cook it for her? I'm going out for a bit." Zhou Yan pushed his bicycle out.

"Where are you going?"

"To see Grandma. I still don't know what kind of official my uncle became." Zhou Yan replied without turning his head, got on his bike, and rode off.... Town Library. An old man in a Zhongshan suit, sitting behind a desk at the entrance, pushed up his reading glasses, smiled, and shook his head: "Are you a silly kid? You need to find 'A Letter to My Wife' to write a love letter? Are you going to jump into the Qingyi River or hang yourself from a tree?

'A letter is short but the sentiment is long,' you young man wouldn't understand it, and you don't need it."

"Grandpa, that's not how it works..." the old man continued:"When you greet someone, don't say 'hello,' say: 'Long time no see, I miss you dearly.'"" When you receive her letter, say: 'I am delighted to receive your letter, as if we were face to face again.'"" When you put pen to paper, don't say 'goodbye,' say: 'A letter is short but the sentiment is long, words cannot express my deepest feelings.'"

Zhou Yan immediately sat down on the stool at the table, took out a pen from his breast pocket, and pulled out a notebook from his pocket: "Master, please continue." (End of Chapter)
