I Have Decided to Go Look for My Father Chapter 55

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

Gu Shao didn't 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 couldn't afford to offend.

Lin Xi walked in next to Gu Shao.

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

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

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

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

Gu Shao didn't waste any time either. He said, point blank, “Zhang Cui transferred a child's household register under your family a few days ago, right?”

“I am the child's father and I am here to transfer her household register out.”

Everybody at Zhang Youfu's 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 Kexin's husband's relative had gone mad and it was untreatable. They didn't want to be embarrassed so they have sent to her the village.

But this girl in front of them looked just fine.

Besides, didn't 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 Youfu's 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 Cui's. I don't think we are talking about the same girl.”

Zhang Youfu's 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 child's household register was under their family.

No fool would turn down a deal this sweet. They didn't even need to do anything or to feed her.

Zhang Youfu nodded as well. “That's 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 can't 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 girl's father? I can say that you are not! She's 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 Youfu's wife's mind, obviously trying to muck things out.

Gu Shao snickered and his eyes turned colder.

“First of all, I don't need to prove to you whether I am or am not Lin Xi's father.

“Secondly, if you want to talk about law, then let's 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 child's 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 Shao's voice was calm but his aura allowed no room for disagreement.

As such, his half facts were able to make Zhang Youfu's family turn pale.

“Aiya, you can't 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 Youfu's 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?”
