Qin Zhengyang said, "Zhang Hengyang should be in a hurry, Xu Chunliang has struck them right where it hurts."
Li Wenjing said, "This Xu Chunliang seems quite sothing, aren’t you afraid he’ll outshine you?"
"He’s just a borrowed cadre. No matter how well or poorly he does, he’ll have to leave in three months." Qin Zhengyang spoke lightly, but inside he didn’t think so. This Xu Chunliang had caused such a big stir as soon as he arrived, and the next three months weren’t likely to be peaceful.
Li Wenjing said, "If his work is outstanding, it’s possible he could stay on. There are precedents for this."
Qin Zhengyang said, "There shouldn’t be any competition between him and ."
Li Wenjing said, "Why would he give up a good position as the deputy director at Changxing Hospital to beco a deputy mayor in Hu Shan Town? Isn’t this leap a bit too big?"
Qin Zhengyang said, "It should be because of i Ru Xue."
Li Wenjing looked at Qin Zhengyang in surprise, and Qin Zhengyang explained the whole situation to her, which finally allowed Li Wenjing to connect Xu Chunliang with the muscular man who had recently gone viral for hitting soone.
Li Wenjing gave her husband a piece of advice: it’s best to be courteous to soone like Xu Chunliang. Soone who causes so many incidents yet manages to quickly calm the storm every ti, making the top ten in search trends and still coming down safely, is not soone they can afford to provoke.
Qin Zhengyang always heeded his wife’s words, not just because she was three years older than him, but also because Li Wenjing ca from a family of officials and had a stronger natural political instinct than he did.
Liu Ximing quickly realized that Hu Shan Town wasn’t going to back down. From Xu Chunliang’s series of actions, it was clear he was using a strategy that affected a wide range—Huayuan Group and Da Heng Group were both penalized; the two brothers were just appetizers.
Liu Ximing even believed that Xu Chunliang used this incident to attack Da Heng and Huayuan.
He specifically dug into Xu Chunliang’s background and learned the real reason for Xu Chunliang’s secondnt to Hu Shan Town. It turns out Xu Chunliang had gone viral for a brawl, and Huayuan Group, to avoid his influence, dismissed him from all positions in Huanyan Health.
Xu Chunliang must have resented Huayuan because of this incident, which is why he seized this opportunity to retaliate against Huayuan.
Actually, not only Liu Ximing thought this way, but many people did.
The Liu brothers are now thoroughly trapped. Even if they wanted to give in, Xu Chunliang might not let them off the hook.
The two brothers discussed it and first decided to send their parents’ bodies to the funeral ho. Now, they no longer want any compensation; Liu Xiliang only hopes to evade criminal charges and keep his current job.
Liu Ximing is also anxious because of their mother’s diary and will. If Xu Chunliang really makes them public, his career is basically over.
Failing to achieve the desired outco, Liu Ximing sought connections everywhere, hoping to get in touch with Xu Chunliang and plead for so leniency.
Just when Liu Ximing had nowhere to turn, a stranger called his cellphone.
"Lawyer Liu Ximing?" a pleasant female voice said.
"That’s , and you are...?"
"I have a legal question I want to consult you about."
"I’m sorry, I’m quite busy recently, and I really can’t find the ti," Liu Ximing said, it’s not that he didn’t want to make money, but he wasn’t in the mind for it.
"I’m waiting for you in front of the exhibition board at the Da Heng construction site. If you don’t want Liu Xiliang to go to jail, you’d better co over right away."
Liu Ximing was shocked, and he hurried over. When he arrived, he saw a woman in black standing in front of the exhibition board, appreciating the illustrations on it.
Liu Ximing’s legs felt a little weak; on the first day of the Lunar New Year, his mother had stood there for an entire day. Since he watched the surveillance video, the image of that scene kept replaying in his mind, and he always felt like his mother was smiling at him from sowhere behind.
He walked towards the woman in black step by step, each step so difficult and strenuous.
The woman in black noticed his approach and calmly said, "Does a guilty conscience bring regret?"
Liu Ximing’s lip muscles twitched: "Who are you? What do you want with ?"
The woman in black turned around, her eyes as clear as cold springs fixing on him: "My na is Mo Han, and I can help you."
Liu Ximing looked at her suspiciously, "Why should I believe you?"
Mo Han said, "You have no other choice. Ding Si won’t issue a letter of understanding, and the money you’re offering ans nothing to him. Xu Chunliang has evidence that can ruin both of you. Once he makes it public, you two unfilial sons will be despised by everyone. Liu Xiliang is already done for, and you’re next. No one will want to hire you as their lawyer, and your legal career will end. How will you pay your monthly loan of 17,000 yuan? And what about the nearly 100,000 yuan annual tuition for your son’s international school?"
Liu Ximing felt a chill down his spine; Mo Han had clearly investigated his family situation: "What exactly do you want? Why are you investigating ?"
Mo Han said, "Before you choose an opponent, you need to know your own strength. Even if you both join forces, you are no match for Xu Chunliang. The gap in your skills is too large, and fighting him is like trying to stop a chariot with your arms—it only leads to a dead end."
Liu Ximing fell silent. Before today, he might not have believed it, but now he was convinced beyond doubt.
Mo Han said, "I heard you’ve already sent your parents’ bodies to the funeral ho, so it seems you’ve given up on seeking compensation."
Liu Ximing said, "I’ve figured it out. Death should be respected. Let them rest in peace sooner."
Mo Han said, "Though people like you aren’t worth pitying, it’s still better to be alive, but now you’ll live with the tornt of your conscience."
"If you’re here to make fun of us, you’ve achieved your goal."
Mo Han said, "You got the wrong target from the beginning; targeting Huayuan was a mistake. I want you to sue Da Heng. It’s their malicious delay in processing the house return that led to your mother’s ntal breakdown. Da Heng is the real culprit."
Liu Ximing pressed his lips tightly and said softly, "I don’t want to sue anymore. Town Mayor Xu is right, it was... it was us who killed our mother..." He suddenly crouched down, unable to hold it together, and started crying hard in front of a stranger, hitting himself in the face repeatedly, "Mom... I’m wrong... Mom... Dad..."
Mo Han looked down at this middle-aged man who suddenly broke down crying, her expression more disdainful. The two brothers were the sa, too selfish, blinded by interests and conscience. If it wasn’t for hitting the iron wall of Xu Chunliang, they wouldn’t even feel the pain and would continue down the wrong path.
Mo Han said, "Da Heng Group’s Hot Spring Town is involved in false advertising and sales fraud. If Jiang Ailian hadn’t purchased the property here, this tragedy wouldn’t have happened. Undoubtedly, you two brothers are the murderers who drove your mother to death, but the real perpetrator is Da Heng. If you still have a conscience, you should do sothing for your brother. If you still have a conscience, you should do sothing for your mother. Your mother is already gone, but there are many elderly people in society like your mother who have been deceived. They need soone to speak up for them, need soone to uphold justice for them."
Liu Ximing shook his head gloomily, "With Hu Shan Town Governnt, they don’t need ." A person’s strength is limited; when ordinary people encounter difficulties, they should turn to the people’s governnt.
Mo Han said, "So things only you are suitable for."
Liu Ximing wiped away his tears, looking at Mo Han with red eyes, "You’re using ."
Mo Han said, "You should feel gratified, at least there’s still value in using you." She handed Liu Ximing a business card.
Seeing the Equatorial Capital logo on it, Liu Ximing vaguely guessed Mo Han’s purpose. She probably wanted to take the opportunity to suppress Da Heng for profit. Capital will stop at nothing to make money, and the reality is so cruel and bloody.
Mo Han said, "Huayuan will definitely have compensation. Da Heng, to eliminate negative impacts, should also help you process the house return as soon as possible. If you get this money, how do you plan to handle it?"
The original intention of Liu Ximing and his brother was to get a large compensation and split it equally between the two of them, but now he no longer thinks that way.
Liu Ximing said, "I don’t know... I... I can’t take this money, I... I..."
"You don’t dare take it. This money was exchanged with your mother’s life. Even if you get it, you won’t feel at ease spending it."
Liu Ximing’s tears instantly flowed down his face. If he had realized this truth earlier, he wouldn’t have fallen into the current predicant.
Mo Han didn’t intend to provoke him and said gently, "I have a suggestion for you. Use this money to set up a fund for the protection of the elderly. Use your spare ti to provide free legal aid to those elderly people who need help, so that your mother’s tragedy doesn’t repeat itself. Only in this way can your mother’s spirit in heaven rest and you two brothers can be redeed."
Liu Ximing stared at Mo Han with wide eyes. Ever since he finished reading his mother’s diary, he had fallen into despair. He didn’t know how to face himself, his family, or society in the future. Mo Han’s words undoubtedly gave him hope again.
Mo Han said, "I am indeed using you, but so correct things must be done by soone. If you don’t do it, soone else will."
Liu Ximing said, "I will do it!"
Mo Han said, "I am going to see Xu Chunliang."
Xu Chunliang was sitting in the office, taking a break to call i Ru Xue and tell her about the situation here.
i Ru Xue listened with excitent, laughing non-stop over the phone. Grandpa didn’t misjudge him; Xu Chunliang’s actions were swift and fierce. Even if she were still in Hu Shan Town, she couldn’t be as decisive as he was. While feeling comforted by Xu Chunliang’s successes, she also worried about the pressure he was about to face, reminding him not to be blindly optimistic due to a smooth start.
Both Huayuan Group and Da Heng Group have backgrounds, and although Xu Chunliang caught them off guard by not playing by the rules, they will soon co up with counterasures. Perhaps Xu Chunliang will face a fierce backlash.
