As soon as Li Zhi spoke, Gu'er understood. 'This guy is just as I suspected—he's targeting us. Even Director Chen's investigation into Lin Shan last time was probably connected to him.'
'But he's really something else,' she thought. 'He actually found channels to transport large quantities of goods to the Soviet Union and even knows we're shipping sugar. He must have connections in the provincial government.'
Before Gu'er could say anything, the phone in the living room started ringing.
"Gu'er, it's for you."
Aunt Zhao called out to Gu'er after answering.
The call was from Liu Yuan. He asked Gu'er and Jia Ming to come to the department store, saying something had come up. He didn't know that Li Zhi and Dingzi were back.
After hanging up, the four of them decided to go together.
When they got out of the car near the department store, Gu'er's gaze fell on the building across the street.
