I have ten trillion licking dog gold

"Uncle Zhang... how is he?"

The two men left the ward and went into the corridor.

"The doctor means to wait for a miracle."

Fu Zili opened his mouth, hesitated, and finally fell silent.

There's nothing to comfort you about.

Although they are nominally cousins, their relationship is different from traditional kinship.

"Fan Wanli sent me something."

Fu Zili changed the subject, "Guess?"

"That contract?"

Fu Zili was startled and couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Was everything planned out from the very beginning?"

"Didn't you tell me to guess?"

Jiang Chen said calmly.

Fu Zili smiled bitterly, staring silently at the other person as if trying to make out their face.

He then shook his head and chose to give up.

The other person is running too fast, and the distance is constantly increasing, so how can you see them clearly? They will only become more and more blurry.

"Yes. After he fell from the building, I received the contract and signed and stamped it."

A dead person certainly can't sign anything.

Therefore, the contract that was temporarily taken back was already signed before Fan Wanli's accident.

But the problem is.

Why was it sent after his death?
Fu Zili felt the urge to smoke again, and it was even stronger than the urge he had that night at the Guan residence.

At that moment, he had no idea what would happen a few days later.

Looking back...

Fan Wanli's decision to take back the contract—was it possible that he sensed his own impending doom?

Fu Zili felt a chill for no reason, not from the yin energy of the hospital, but from a deep chill emanating from within his body.

He suddenly realized this clearly and profoundly.

The real difference between people is not the disparity in identity, wealth, or status.

Considering he was in the hospital, he suppressed the urge to smoke.

"Fan Wanli must have had a bad feeling before meeting Zhou Shaohua, which is why he made this preparation in advance."

Under his gaze, Jiang Chen remained unmoved and even smiled slightly, "Why are you looking at me like that? This has nothing to do with me, I have an alibi."

Fu Zili grinned, took a deep breath, and asked in a meaningful tone, "Do you think Fan Wanli really committed suicide?"

accident.

suicide.

He was murdered.

He did give three different explanations just now in the ward.

But Fu Zili knew perfectly well that there were only two real possibilities.

The real estate tycoon's death was either suicide or murder!

Did the poor quality retaining wall cause it to collapse and lead to a fall?
What an international joke.

An ordinary person might have that possibility, but he is the chairman of Greenland Group. How could he not know the quality of the projects he builds?
So even if the fall was indeed caused by the collapse of the retaining wall, it was intentional.

"what you think."

Jiang Chen did not answer, but calmly asked a question in return.

Fu Zili understood that the moment of testing had arrived once again.

"murder."

He gave the answer without hesitation.

"Excluding the possibility of accidents, it's impossible for a big shot who stands at the top of the city to choose suicide for no reason, especially not in such a tragic way. Jumping from the 33rd floor, not even leaving a complete body."

"Ah."

Jiang Chen nodded, speaking casually, "It is indeed tragic, but this kind of death is quick and painless."

Look.

Mostly calm and uneventful.

It's like a director looking at a script that's being performed step by step.

“The Zhou family is really ruthless.” As family nurses kept passing by, Fu Zili lowered his voice and said, “The Zhou family probably doesn’t even know I’ve been there, yet they decisively chose to abandon Greenland. Fan Wanli has been with them for so long; he has certainly made great contributions.”

"It was just a mutually beneficial arrangement. He helped the Zhou family reap a lot of benefits, and he also gained a glorious life as a result, but the ending was not very satisfactory."

Jiang Chen said calmly, "Besides, death is the final hurdle in life, and no one can escape it."

Fu Zili nodded, lost in thought, his eyes flickering as he tried his best to understand Fan Wanli's mind before his death.

"The fact that he didn't send out the contract beforehand, but only signed it, shows that he still harbored a sliver of hope for the Zhou family. However, the Zhou family's ruthlessness shattered his illusions of life, so he was forced to choose to jump off the building. This was both to repay the Zhou family for their care and cultivation over the years, and also to give us... an explanation. In China, people believe that death is the end of one's life. His suicide can be considered as protecting the safety of his family. In the past, this would be considered as fulfilling both loyalty and filial piety."

"That's probably what he was thinking."

Jiang Chen nodded.

Fu Zili chuckled, without a trace of pride.

There's nothing to be proud of when everything has already happened and we only realize it afterward.

Even before the game begins, some people probably already know exactly what will happen next.

"In that sense, Fan Wanli is indeed a formidable figure who has not disgraced the people of Shacheng."

Fu Zili used to think of himself as a ruthless person, but now it seems that, just as he said to the other party a few nights ago, he still has a long way to go.

Not long ago, the person who was sitting and chatting became dead, and even turned into a pile of minced meat.

Even though Fu Zili had seen plenty of fighting and killing, his heart was still inevitably stirred.

The sky is high and the earth is vast, and I feel the infinity of the universe.

That was someone he looked up to, and now he's dead.

They didn't even have a choice.

That's why people always say ignorance is bliss.

The harder you try to climb, the more you realize how insignificant you are.

"He probably sent you more than one contract."

Fu Zili's expression became even more complicated.

"If we were playing a game, I would definitely report you and kick you out. You're cheating out of the blue."

After the joke, he hummed in agreement. "How could someone like Fan Wanli not make preparations? Having cooperated with the Zhou family for so many years, he had long anticipated that the Zhou family might abandon him after using him. In addition to sending his family away, he also secretly hid a series of evidence of the Zhou family's illegal and criminal activities, probably for the purpose of saving his own life one day."

After saying that, Fu Zili couldn't help but sigh.

“Under normal circumstances, with this evidence in hand, even if things don’t go well, it wouldn’t be a problem for him to go abroad and reunite with his family. But man proposes, God disposes.”

"Is the evidence conclusive?"

"I didn't dare to look at it; isn't this what I'm waiting for you to review?"

Fu Zili knew that Fan Wanli's suicide was just the beginning of an earthquake in Shacheng.

Simultaneously.

Aside from the contract itself, the evidence was the real talisman Fan Wanli exchanged for his family to ward off disaster.

and.

Judging from the other party's expression, it was clear that Fan Wanli had evidence of the Zhou family's crimes and would hand it over, which was also beyond his expectations.

To what extent has this mastery of human nature been achieved?
"Clap."

The ward door opened.

Fang Qing walked out gracefully.

Upon seeing this, Fu Zili immediately shut up.

"Keep talking, pretend I don't exist."

Fu Zili smiled and said, "Hehe, we're done talking."

"So fast?"

"I have to leave for a while," Jiang Chen said.

"I also need to go."

Fang Qing didn't give a chance to explain.

Fu Zili observes his nose with his eyes, and his heart with his nose.

"What are you going to do?"

Before Jiang Chen could speak after being questioned, he was quickly told, "Fan Wanli jumped off a building, and now it's the Zhou family's turn, is it?"

Fu Zili stopped being cross-eyed and started looking around, probably searching for a place where he could smoke.

Without giving anyone a chance to argue, Fang Qing said with perfect insight, "Dealing with the Zhou family certainly can't be done the same way as dealing with Fan Wanli. Maybe I can help you."

Upon hearing this, Fu Zili turned his gaze back.

To be honest, Qinggege's professional skills might actually come in handy.

"unnecessary."

But Jiang Chen refused decisively.

Fang Qing frowned. "Why?"

"You are a lawyer, and your duty is to save lives."

Fu Zili's gaze shifted away again, continuing to wander aimlessly.

Fang Qing opened her mouth, seemingly speechless, then smiled gently, "No, a lawyer's duty is to punish evil and promote good."

Jiang Chen stopped arguing with her and said, "Let's go."

Fu Zili nodded silently, not looking at Fang Qing, and turned to leave with Jiang Chen.

"Hey, aren't you being a little too selfish?"

There was a shout from behind.

Fu Zili kept walking because the person in front of him didn't stop either.

Ok.

That was indeed somewhat selfish.

But from a man's perspective, he can completely understand, and if he were in that situation, he would make the same choice.

What exactly a lawyer's duties are doesn't really matter.

The only thing that really matters is...

Princess Qing's virtues of truth, goodness, and beauty must not be tarnished.

at least.

We must not tarnish it because of ourselves.

The two men quickly disappeared down the corridor.

Fang Qing's beautiful brows furrowed with displeasure as she gazed in the direction they had left. For some reason, she suddenly burst into laughter.

"Pretty domineering, huh?"

Ok.

Putting aside his domineering nature, he does seem to be getting more and more assertive.

I've never shown such masculinity in front of her before.

Boys will eventually grow up step by step.

After standing in the corridor for a while, Fang Qing didn't insist on joining in the fun. In fact, she was always all bark and no bite. No matter how sharp her words were, if the other person didn't want to, she would never force them to go against their wishes.

She pushed the door open again and returned to the ward.

Where are Jiang Chen and the others?

Pan Hui asked,
"They had something to do and left first."

Fang Weiguo nodded. "The chairman of Greenland Group jumped off a building. The outside world is probably in an uproar right now."

"The world will keep turning no matter who's gone. Aren't there enough entrepreneurs who have jumped off buildings already?"

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Qingqing, how could you say that?"

“My daughter is right, that’s the truth.” Fang Weiguo, who often watches the news, firmly stood by his daughter’s side. “Currently, things are not going well. Entrepreneurs are jumping off buildings one after another. Fan Wanli is only considered okay in our Shacheng, but he is far inferior to those big bosses.”

"Qingqing, tell Jiang Chen to... be careful."

Pan Hui, who seemed to know some things yet also knew nothing, said tactfully.

"Mom, don't you know how vibrant his life force is? Someone like him will definitely live to be a hundred."

"It's still necessary to remind them."

Fang Weiguo quickly changed his stance and began to support his wife again, saying seriously, "It's better to be safe than sorry."

It resulted in a death.

This undoubtedly represents a significant escalation in the intensity of the struggle.

As elders, how could we not worry about it?

"Yes, tell Jiang Chen to be careful. Those people have no bottom line, no humanity, and are capable of anything."

Maindry also began to speak.

The news brought by Fu Zili undoubtedly brought her great comfort, and her suppressed emotions were truly relieved and effectively calmed down.

Fang Qing looked at Zhang Zhongquan lying on the hospital bed.

An enemy has been punished, but shows no signs of waking up.

Also.

If miracles happened so easily, they wouldn't be miracles.

"He has weathered countless storms; this little thing is nothing to him."

Fang Weiguo and his wife couldn't help but look at each other.

Mai Encui still doesn't know the exact identity of Zhou Shaohua, the culprit who caused her family to become like this.

But they knew.

That is the sky above the heads of millions of people in Shacheng.

In her daughter's mouth, it was actually called "not worth mentioning"?
Pan Hui hesitated, seemingly unsure of what to say, and then gestured to Fang Weiguo with her eyes to speak.

"Xiao Jiang is indeed very impressive now, but he shouldn't be too arrogant..."

"If he had been proud, none of this would have happened."

Fang Qing spoke softly, her ambiguous words leaving the elders completely baffled.

Fang Qing withdrew her gaze from Zhang Zhong's entire body and looked at her father.

Some people are obsessed with their own world and unwilling to step out.

Some people are confined to a limited world and have no way to go out.

“Dad, instead of worrying about him, you should worry about others. You know he’s no longer the harmless, honest, and well-behaved boy he used to be.”

There must be a reason why Fang Qing chose to tell her father instead of her mother.

Fang Weiguo immediately recalled that day, when he caught his daughter in bed across the hall.

His breathing became a little heavier, but he could only restrain himself out of consideration for Mai Encui.

Ok.

That's right.

That brat really can't be viewed with the same old perspective anymore.

"Qingqing, how can you say that? Even if Jiang Chen has changed a lot, is he still better than those bad people?"

Pan Hui refuted her daughter's point of view.

"Mom, that's not what I meant. What I meant was..."

"What do you mean?"

“What I mean is… don’t you often watch TV with Dad? To Jiang Chen, Zhou Shaohua is no different from Fan Wanli, the chairman of Greenland Group. And Fan Wanli, the chairman of Greenland Group…”

"In his early years, before he became successful, didn't he sell fish at the market? Whether it's Fan Wanli, the chairman of Greenland Group, or Fan Wanli who sold fish at the market back then, in Jiang Chen's eyes, they're all the same. In fact, if Jiang Chen were to run into Fan Wanli selling fish at the market, he would be even more polite and ask if he could get a discount."

vivid.

Image.

humor.

popular.

As expected of a lawyer, they always manage to explain the reasoning or facts in the most easily understandable way for their target.

"..."

The ward was quiet.

Whether Pan Hui understood or not is unknown, but Fang Weiguo, who frequently watches television, was perhaps triggered by some memory, and unconsciously smiled. (End of Chapter)
