Chapter 1843: Framing

Zhang Yulan and her subordinates were taken away by the police, and Liu Zhihao was also rescued and woke up. After Liu Zhihao regained consciousness, he learned that Zhang Yulan had already been captured by the police, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. He looked gratefully at Chu Tianhe and said, "Uncle Chu, thank you. If you had not appeared in time, I, Zhilong, and Xueting would probably have lost our lives long ago."

"No need to thank me; this is what I should do." Chu Tianhe smiled and continued, "Zhihao, have you thought about what you want to do in the future?"

Liu Zhihao was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and fell into deep thought. Although he had dropped out of school very early, he had always had a strong interest in music, especially the guitar. He had once fantasized about becoming a guitarist, but due to limited family conditions, this dream had never been realized.

"Uncle Chu, have you thought about letting me learn music under you?" Liu Zhihao asked, mustering up his courage.

"Music?" Chu Tianhe was slightly surprised, but soon he smiled again. "Zhihao, I also formed a band when I was young, but later I gave it up because of life circumstances. If you are willing, we can learn together and improve together."

"Really?" Liu Zhihao's eyes sparkled with excitement. "That's great!"

Chu Tianhe nodded and then said, "But you must know that the path of music is not easy to walk; it requires a great deal of sweat and effort. Are you ready?"

"I am ready, Uncle Chu." Liu Zhihao said firmly. "I will work hard."

Chu Tianhe greatly appreciated Liu Zhihao's determination and decided to sponsor Liu Zhihao's music studies. With Chu Tianhe's recommendation, Liu Zhihao became an apprentice to a guitarist and began his musical journey.

At the same time, Liu Zhilong and Liu Xueting's lives also returned to normal. With Chu Tianhe's help, Liu Zhilong entered a large enterprise to work. Relying on his own effort and diligence, he quickly gained the recognition and praise of his colleagues. Meanwhile, Liu Xueting found a job at a small company and was busy with work every day.

Through their efforts, the lives of the three people became better and better. They did not forget Chu Tianhe's kindness and often went to visit him and chat with him. Chu Tianhe also treated them like his own children, caring about their lives and work.

Time flew, and several months passed. One night, Liu Zhihao received a phone call. The person on the phone claimed to be a friend of Chu Tianhe and said that Chu Tianhe had been sent to the hospital due to a sudden situation.

Liu Zhihao was greatly shocked and immediately notified Liu Zhilong and Liu Xueting. The three of them hurriedly rushed to the hospital and saw Chu Tianhe lying on the hospital bed, his face pale. Liu Zhihao, Liu Zhilong, and Liu Xueting stood by the bedside, looking at Chu Tianhe's emaciated face, feeling extremely worried in their hearts.

"Uncle Chu, what has happened to you?" Liu Zhihao could not help but ask.

Chu Tianhe slightly opened his eyes, saw the three standing in front of him, smiled faintly, and said, "It's nothing; it's an old ailment. A few days in the hospital will fix it."

"You are like this, and you still say a few days in the hospital?" Liu Xueting's eyes were red, and she choked as she spoke. "Why didn't you tell us earlier so we could take care of you?"

"Hehe, silly child, I was just afraid of causing you trouble." Chu Tianhe smiled and continued, "Besides, you are all busy; how could I be so shameless as to let you come to the hospital to serve me?"

"Uncle Chu, please do not speak anymore." Liu Zhilong said, frowning. "You need to rest properly."

Chu Tianhe nodded, then closed his eyes. Seeing that Chu Tianhe had fallen asleep, the three quietly left the ward.

In the corridor, Liu Zhihao spoke up: "We must find a way to locate the person who betrayed Uncle Chu; otherwise, his condition will probably be difficult to control."

"But how should we find him?" Liu Xueting asked anxiously.

"I thought of someone." Liu Zhihao thought for a moment and then said, "His name is Tang Liang. He had some grievances with Zhang Yulan before and once revealed some inside information to us."

"Good, then we will go find him tomorrow." Liu Zhilong said decisively.

The next day, the three arrived at Tang Liang's company. They waited for a long time before Tang Liang got off work.

"Tang Liang, we need to talk to you." Liu Zhihao walked forward and said.

Tang Liang glanced at the three of them and then said, "Alright, let's go to a coffee shop to talk."

The four arrived at the coffee shop and ordered a cup of coffee. Liu Zhihao asked directly, "Tang Liang, do you know about the matter of Uncle Chu being framed?" Tang Liang was stunned, then looked at the three in confusion and asked, "Framed? What happened to Uncle Chu?"

"You don't know?" Liu Xueting asked in surprise. "Someone leaked Uncle Chu's plans to his opponents, resulting in the failure of Uncle Chu's business and causing him to fall ill."

"I don't know about this." Tang Liang shook his head and continued, "However, I heard that Zhang Yulan has been following Uncle Chu closely these days; it might be her doing."

"Zhang Yulan?" Liu Zhilong frowned. "Are you sure?"

"Sure about what?" Tang Liang retorted. "I am just guessing."

"If it is her, then everything makes sense." Liu Zhihao said through gritted teeth. "She came to find us before and threatened that if we did not release her, she would kill us. At that time, we thought it was strange; how did she know our hiding place? Now it seems, all of this was planned by her."

"Then what should we do?" Liu Xueting asked anxiously.

"We must find evidence to make Uncle Chu's opponents believe it." Liu Zhilong said thoughtfully. "Tang Liang, can you help us?"

Tang Liang hesitated slightly, then spoke up: "I can help you, but I have one condition."

"What condition?" Liu Zhihao asked.

"If you can help me take revenge on Zhang Yulan, I will help you find the evidence." A cold sneer curled at the corner of Tang Liang's mouth. "This woman caused my family to be broken and my people to die; I must make her pay the price."

"Then it is a deal!" Liu Zhihao said immediately.

Thus, the three began to cooperate with Tang Liang to find evidence of Zhang Yulan's betrayal of Chu Tianhe. After several days of investigation and collection, they finally found a key clue.

That night, in Chu Tianhe's hospital room, the three placed the evidence before him. After reading the evidence, Chu Tianhe said angrily, "This woman indeed betrayed me! I will drive her out of this city!"

"Uncle Chu, rest assured; we will help you bring Zhang Yulan to justice." Liu Zhilong said.

Chu Tianhe looked gratefully at the three and said, "Zhilong, Zhihao, Xueting, thank you! With you by my side, I fear nothing!"
