The heavens set sail from the courtyard

Wang Gang was absolutely certain that Pighead had escaped.

Selling grey market motorcycles is illegal, and if it involves smuggling, it could lead to imprisonment.

The matter concerning Manager Hu is ultimately a civil dispute. As long as a settlement is reached with the 4S store owner, the most he will have to do is pay some money.

However, smuggling motorcycles is a serious offense and can result in not only fines but also criminal penalties.

The car was brought back by Zhu Tou, but the person in charge of the car dealership is Hua Zi. If he cannot explain the source of the goods, he may face criminal prosecution.

Hua Zi, that fool, trusted Zhu Tou too much and helped him sell counterfeit goods without even realizing it. Now that something has gone wrong, Zhu Tou has run away, and Hua Zi is facing a lawsuit.

Wang Gang and Lu Lu waited at the police station for a whole day.

When Lu Lu learned the seriousness of the situation from Yao Yao, she collapsed to her knees.

"Attorney Yao, is there any way to get him out of here?" Wang Gang asked with unusual seriousness.

“Mr. Gao, your friend’s case involves a small amount of money, and he has a positive attitude in admitting his guilt, so there shouldn’t be any problems,” Yao Yao said.

Wang Gang breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Xiang Nan, saying, "Xiang Nan, we might have to trouble your dad again. Can you find a way to find Pighead? Pighead got the smuggled cars. Only by finding him can Hua Zi be safe."

Xiang Nan sighed, "Hua Zi is so foolish! Doesn't he know that selling counterfeit goods is illegal?"

Wang Gang patted Xiang Nan on the shoulder and said seriously, "He also had bad luck in choosing the right person."

Xiang Nan said with a stern face, "I'll ask my dad."

Wang Gang smiled and said, "Just do your best. If Uncle doesn't agree, then forget it and I'll think of another way."

He nodded to the south, then went to the side to make a phone call.

Yao Yao returned quickly after negotiating with the man in the steel hat.

"A deposit of approximately one million yuan is required here."

"So much money!?" Lu Lu was startled.

Wang Gang asked, "Let's pay the money first to get him released!"

Lu Lu said with difficulty, "Hua Zi doesn't have that much money!"

Wang Gang said, "I'll pay for this first, and Hua Zi can pay me back later."

When Lu Lu saw that Wang Gang was willing to pay, she immediately fell silent.

Wang Gang paid the fine, and Hua Zi was quickly brought out by Yao Yao. This time, Hua Zi's face looked terrible, extremely pale, probably because he was terrified.

"Qiangzi, I will definitely pay you back later."

"Alright! The most important thing is that everyone is safe." Wang Gang said, "The most urgent thing now is to find Pighead and get things cleared up, otherwise you'll have to take the blame."

Hua Zi said somewhat awkwardly, "I didn't expect selling smuggled cars to be such a serious matter."

Wang Gang said earnestly, "Learn from your mistakes! Don't do it again."

Hua Zi said with lingering fear, "This time it almost killed me. There will definitely be no next time. I don't know how I'm going to pay the 4S store compensation and the fine for smuggling."

Wang Gang glanced at Lu Lu and said, "If all else fails, just sell the car dealership."

Hua Zi, his eyes red, said, "That's all we can do now."

Wang Gang noticed that Hua Zi was in low spirits, so he asked Lu Lu to take him home first.

The next day, Wang Gang arranged to meet Yao Yao to accompany Hua Zi to the 4S store to discuss compensation with the owner. Because Xiang Nan's father was there and a lawyer was present, the owner didn't ask for an exorbitant amount, but still wanted 70 yuan.

In order to obtain a settlement agreement, Hua Zi had no choice but to grit his teeth and pay the money.

To buy Wang Gang's shares, Hua Zi mortgaged his parents' house. Now, he doesn't have much money left, so he has no choice but to sell his car dealership.

However, how could the car dealership possibly sell at a good price when faced with this situation? Several potential buyers were aggressively pushing down the price, which gave Hua Zi a real headache.

There has been no news from Pighead; it seems he has vanished into thin air. Even when Xiang Nan's father asked his colleagues for help, they couldn't find him.

Wang Gang estimated that Pighead would likely hide or even flee to another city to evade legal responsibility. This would put Hua Zi in trouble; as the car dealership manager, he would naturally bear all legal responsibility.

Lu Tao only realized he had harmed his good brother after hearing about Hua Zi's situation from Xiang Nan.

Although Hua Zi's current situation is due to his own wrong path and misplaced trust, he wouldn't be in this predicament if Lu Tao hadn't reported him.

Lu Tao deeply resented Wang Gang, but he still considered Hua Zi a brother. After much hesitation, he went to find Hua Zi and confessed everything.

"Hua Zi, I'm sorry. I thought Gao Qiang was a major shareholder of the car dealership, which is why I reported him. I didn't mean to harm you," Lu Tao said sincerely.

Hua Zi was completely stunned; he was utterly dumbfounded.

"Lu Tao, you know I have a stake in the car dealership. If you report Gao Qiang, I'll be in trouble too!" Hua Zi grabbed Lu Tao's collar and said angrily.

"I'm sorry, Hua Zi, I really didn't mean to hurt you." Lu Tao said guiltily, "I'll compensate you for whatever money you lost."

Hua Zi could no longer hold back and punched Lu Tao hard in the face.

"I'm likely to go to jail now, what are you going to do to compensate me?"

Lu Tao collapsed to the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, and said with a heavy heart, "I'll hire the best lawyer for you!"

Hua Zi scoffed, "Can you go to jail in my place?"

Lu Tao lowered his head silently and said, "Hua Zi, I've always considered you a brother."

Hua Zi snorted coldly, "Lu Tao, if you really considered me a brother, you wouldn't have done this."

Ultimately, you never cared about our friendship at all.

Lu Tao said urgently, "No, believe me, I really consider you a good friend and a good brother."

Hua Zi scoffed, "Stop deceiving yourself. You only care about yourself. We're no longer friends."

After saying that, Hua Zi left in anger.

Lu Tao wanted to give chase, but after taking two steps, he silently stopped.

After Hua Zi left, he found a street food stall, ordered a case of beer, and invited Wang Gang and Xiang Nan to drink with him.

Only then did Wang Gang realize that Lu Tao was the culprit behind the car dealership accident.

"How could Lu Tao betray his brothers?" Xiang Nan shouted angrily, "I'm going to settle the score with him."

"Forget it!" Hua Zi said with a wry smile, "Now that they've hooked up with a rich dad, how could they possibly still treat us like brothers?"

Wang Gang poured Hua Zi a glass of wine and said, "Lu Tao is ultimately not one of us."

Hua Zi said angrily, "He is a selfish and petty person."

"Don't overthink it, let's drink. We won't leave until we're drunk." Wang Gang knew Hua Zi was feeling down, so he pulled Xiang Nan to drink with him.

The three of them quickly finished a case of beer and ordered another case.

In the end, Hua Zi and Xiang Nan both drank too much, so Wang Gang had to take a taxi to send them home.

Since Xiang Nan's home was closer, Wang Gang took him there first and gave the taxi driver two hundred yuan, asking him to take care of Hua Zi for a while.

By the time Wang Gang carried Hua Zi home, he was already completely drunk and unconscious.

Wang Gang took out Hua Zi's house key, opened the door, and found the house completely dark; Lu Lu didn't seem to be there.

Hua Zi rented a small two-bedroom apartment outside and had been living with Lu Lu for a long time. Later, Lu Lu even brought her younger brother to the capital and let him live in the small room.

"Lu Lu, Lu Lu, Hua Zi is drunk!" Wang Gang turned on the light and shouted loudly.

Only Wang Gang's voice echoed in the house; Lu Lu did not appear.

Wang Gang first put Hua Zi on the sofa and then noticed a note on the coffee table in front of him.

The note must have been left by Lu Lu. The first line read: "Hua Zi, I'm leaving." (End of Chapter)
