Chapter 670 A Sense of Security, Camellias in Full Bloom
It's about one o'clock in the afternoon.

Inside the spacious and bright private ward.

Qiuqiu sat on the sofa by the window with a laptop in front of her.

On the screen were densely packed legal clauses she had just searched for regarding rights protection and personal injury lawsuits related to unfinished buildings.

Li Meihua tried several times to say something to ease the tension.

But Qiuqiu remained silent.

The close atmosphere that the mother and daughter had finally managed to build up instantly turned cold again.

I don’t know when.

"Knock knock knock—" A series of urgent knocks suddenly sounded on the door.

Before the person inside could respond, the door to the ward was pushed open from the outside.

Three figures appeared in their line of sight.

Qiuqiu immediately stood up, looking at them warily.

Besides Zhou Yan, the legal counsel of Xuyuan Real Estate, and Zhang Zhanpeng, the head of Xiongshi Security, there was also a middle-aged woman in her forties.

She wore a well-tailored dark gray women's suit dress, her hair was neatly styled in a bun, and her face was adorned with sophisticated and sharp professional makeup.

Li Meihua got out of bed, glared at them, and loudly demanded, "What are you doing here again?!"

Zhou Yan wore a formulaic smile, gestured to the middle-aged woman in the middle, and introduced her: "Ms. Li, Ms. Cheng, let me introduce you. This is Ms. Zhao Manlin, the deputy general manager and public relations manager of [Xuyuan Real Estate]."

Zhao Manlin nodded calmly to them, her tone carrying an undeniable and powerful aura: "I've come here today to discuss with you two the issue of our company's reputation rights."

Qiuqiu took a deep breath, pressed her lips tightly together, and said coldly, "What do you mean?"

Zhou Yan took a document out of his briefcase.

With a serious expression, he said, "Ms. Li, we have already preserved evidence of the videos you recently posted on Douyin and other platforms. They contain a large amount of false information, which has caused extremely serious negative impact on our company's business reputation. Our General Manager Zhao is here today mainly to have a formal discussion with you regarding this 'defamation' matter."

Li Meihua's temper flared instantly. "Bullshit! How did I publish false information?! What did I say wrong?!"

Zhou Yan adjusted his glasses. "In the video, you claimed that because of your rights protection efforts, [Xuyuan Real Estate] colluded with gangsters to beat you so badly you were hospitalized and threatened you and your daughter. First of all, both of these accusations are untrue. Secondly, the security personnel responsible for the scene that day were [Xiongshi Security], which had signed a 'Security Service Outsourcing Contract' with our company. Their actions are completely independent of [Xuyuan Real Estate] under the law."

Li Meihua was dizzy and trembling with anger after he talked her way out of it, but she didn't know how to refute him.

Qiuqiu immediately stepped forward and retorted coldly, "What you said is incorrect. According to national laws, if an employee causes harm to others while performing work duties, the employer shall bear the tort liability. You also bear an unshirkable responsibility for the selection and supervision of employees!"

She has been researching and consulting online for the past two days, so she is not completely ignorant about these things.

Li Meihua chimed in, "Yes! It's your responsibility!"

Zhou Yan adjusted his glasses, a professional's confidence shining through his face. "Ms. Cheng, you may not know this, but what we signed is not a simple 'employment' or 'agency' contract, but a contract for work. According to the law, in a contract for work relationship, unless the client is at fault in the commissioning, instruction, or selection, it has nothing to do with us as the client."

Zhao Manlin then calmly said, "We at [Xuyuan Real Estate] have been actively seeking solutions and are currently in contact with several large asset management companies to discuss the possibility of project restructuring. Ms. Li, your current actions of colluding with some homeowners to spread these so-called 'false information' online on a large scale, causing a negative social impact, will only make it impossible for our self-rescue plan to proceed normally. In that case, who will bear the losses of all the homeowners?"

Qiuqiu gritted her teeth and clenched her fists, saying, "You say you're actively seeking a solution, but how have you treated us?"

Zhao Manlin's tone remained calm: "We understand the homeowners' emotions, but we also hope that everyone can remain rational. Excessive rights protection behavior will not solve any problems."

Zhang Zhanpeng, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, stepped forward.

First, he swept his malicious eyes over Qiuqiu's astonishing curves encased in her jeans before brazenly declaring:

"We, Lion Security, are a legitimate security organization, and our operations are definitely legal. Moreover, our company has long-term security service partnerships with some official agencies in the city, and we have good relationships with them."

He came along specifically to play the villain.

He had plenty of ways and means to deal with a nobody like Li Meihua who had no background.

Seeing the menacing appearance of these three, especially Zhang Zhanpeng who exuded a gangster-like aura, one could sense their menacing demeanor.

Li Meihua, who was about to continue her tantrum, involuntarily shrank back.

When she used to run her own snack shop, this was the kind of person she feared most, and she was often bullied by them.

Just then, the door to the private ward was suddenly pushed open.

Su Wenxuan, wearing a white coat, hurriedly walked in.

"Aunt Li, Qiuqiu."

Seeing him, Li Meihua seemed to have instantly found her pillar of support and quickly said, "Dr. Su! Is Lawyer Fang almost here?"

Su Wenxuan checked the time and nodded, "Yes, I just spoke to him on the phone. He should arrive in about half an hour."

Li Meihua shouted, "Did you hear that? We've already hired a lawyer! And it's a top lawyer from Quan Jing Law Firm!"

Upon hearing the name "Quan Jing".

Zhou Yan's expression instantly turned serious, and he quickly exchanged a glance with Zhao Manlin beside him.

They certainly knew what "power and vision" meant.

But there's no need to be scared by that.

After all, Quan Jing's business scope is extremely broad, and they have dealt with the Rongcheng branch before. Hiring a litigation lawyer will at most make things a little more complicated.

Zhou Yan adjusted his glasses, regaining his composure. "That's good too. Communicating with professionals will make us more efficient."

Zhang Zhanpeng, standing to the side, chuckled and twirled his gold watch, then quipped in a sassy,江湖-savvy tone, "A big-shot lawyer? Oh dear, looks like they're going to go after Lion Security with a 'death blow,' hahaha."

Li Meihua was trembling with anger, but dared not throw another tantrum.

Qiuqiu looked at them coldly. Although she appeared sharp on the surface, she was actually somewhat timid inside.

She was, after all, just a recent college graduate, and her life experiences over the years had made her personality quite extreme.
There is actually a kind of fear in this situation.

But because of his mother and the money he had to pay for the house, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and bear it.
Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open again.

A young nurse on duty leaned in, her face showing a mixture of nervousness and awe: "Excuse me... Ms. Li, Ms. Cheng, someone is looking for you outside. It's a lawyer from Quanjing Law Firm. They asked if you're available now...?"

Upon hearing this, Su Wenxuan was momentarily stunned.

After he learned that the developer's people were coming, he specifically called his classmate Fang Qihua, who said that he had just finished lunch and it would take at least half an hour to drive over.

How did we arrive so quickly?
Li Meihua, as if she had finally received help, straightened her back instantly and said in a strong voice, "Convenient! Very convenient!"

"Okay, I'll have them come over then." The nurse replied and quickly turned to leave.

Su Wenxuan was stunned again when he heard the word "they," completely bewildered.

Zhao Manlin and Zhou Yan exchanged a glance across from each other without making a sound.

soon.

"Tap tap tap——"

A series of rapid and rhythmic footsteps came from the corridor.

Everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to the door of the ward.

Through the small square glass window on the door, one could see figures dressed in suits and ties.

It appeared indistinctly outside the door, blocking out all the light from the entrance.

"Boom, boom, boom."

A knock sounded on the door, neither too loud nor too soft.

This startled everyone awake.

Immediately afterwards, the door was fully opened from the outside.

Everyone involuntarily held their breath.

The leader was a handsome man in his forties, with a tall and straight figure, wearing a dark gray double-breasted custom-made suit and carrying a black leather briefcase.

His eyes were bright and sharp, as if they could see right through people's hearts.

He exudes a powerful aura.

On the left side of the chest, there is a small and exquisite logo carefully embroidered with silver thread.

Li Meihua froze for a moment, then subconsciously looked at Dr. Su beside her.

His face was full of confusion: What's going on?

Isn't this... isn't this the person Dr. Su showed her on her phone before... the chief partner of Quan Jing Law Firm?!

How did he suddenly appear here?!
Qiuqiu and Su Wenxuan were equally dumbfounded.

After all, I had just seen the other person's Baidu Baike page and news on my phone that morning; this was a truly important figure. His sudden appearance in this small ward of the Second People's Hospital of Chengdu seemed utterly unbelievable.

"Tap tap tap—" The steady footsteps sounded again.

A group of people walked in one after another.

Behind Luo Bin followed four or five middle-aged men and women with solemn expressions, all of whom also had the [Quan Jing] logo embroidered on their chests.

Then came four burly men in black suits, with sharp, hawk-like eyes and invisible headsets.

All the light in the room seemed to be instantly swallowed up by the aura of this group of people.

Zhang Zhanpeng, who had just been all arrogant, froze instantly, his eyelids twitching.

They realized something was wrong.

Luo Bin's gaze swept calmly across the small ward before quickly settling on Cheng Qiuqiu.

A faint smile appeared on her face. "Hello, are you Ms. Cheng Qiuqiu?"

"Hello... hello..." Qiuqiu nervously rubbed her hands. "It's me, and you are...?"

“I am Luo Bin from Quanjing Law Firm. You can call me Attorney Luo.” His voice was calm and magnetic, carrying a strong sense of security. “I have been entrusted by President Tang to come and handle some legal troubles for you and your mother, Ms. Li Meihua.”

"President Tang... President Tang? Tang Song?" Qiuqiu's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.

Luo Bin nodded slightly. "Yes. President Tang specifically instructed that from now on, all legal matters concerning you and your mother during your stay in Rongcheng, regardless of size, will be handled entirely by Quan Jing. I will personally be responsible for following up on these matters."

Qiuqiu was instantly at a loss, her face turning bright red.

Li Meihua stared blankly at her daughter, then at the man in front of her with a terrifyingly powerful aura.

My mind went blank; I couldn't comprehend anything that was happening before my eyes.

President Tang? Which Tang or Song dynasty?

Why would he let this big boss lawyer from [Quan Jing] personally come to handle his affairs?!

She remembered that Dr. Su had specifically mentioned that his classmate was Quan Jing's lawyer, and how incredibly capable he was.

But that classmate was just an ordinary litigation lawyer at the Rongcheng branch.

Su Wenxuan was completely bewildered, feeling that his worldview had been severely impacted.

When Zhou Yan, who was in charge of legal affairs, heard Luo Bin introduce himself, his face turned deathly pale.

He leaned close to Zhao Manlin's ear, his voice trembling, and said, "President Zhao... this... this is Luo Bin, the chief partner of [Quan Jing]... Director Luo!"

He himself was a lawyer on temporary assignment, so how could he not know this top lawyer who had risen to the top of the domestic legal profession?

He never dreamed that he would meet the real person here in this way.

Zhao Manlin gasped, feeling an overwhelming chill instantly rise from the soles of her feet to the top of her head.

For them, an ordinary [Quan Jing] lawyer simply means "trouble".

This means that more legal resources need to be invested in dealing with the situation, and that in the midst of an already overwhelming bankruptcy crisis, there is now another troublesome matter that requires distraction.

It was tricky, but that was all.

However, with the chief partner of a top-tier domestic law firm personally leading the legal team, this is no longer a problem.

Xuyuan Real Estate is currently on the verge of bankruptcy and restructuring. The chairman is using all his connections to conduct the most difficult negotiations with several potential investors, trying to secure a last chance for the company to survive.

These are all facts.

But once a legal giant like Quan Jing begins to fully intervene, then...

Their already fragile loan extension agreements with banks will instantly become invalid.

Potential investors who are still observing will immediately remove them from their list of potential partners.

All the legal flaws and shady practices hidden in their company's accounts may be exposed.

This is not an equal contest at all.

The other party doesn't even need to actually "win" the case.

As long as Luo Bin stands here, as long as the [Quanjing] brand shines brightly, [Xuyuan Real Estate] will never have any chance of turning things around.

This is on a completely different level from Li Meihua's petty online "rumors".

Thinking of this, Zhao Manlin and Zhou Yan's foreheads instantly broke out in a fine layer of cold sweat, and their hearts trembled.

At this moment.

A burly man in a black suit behind Luo Bin stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Cheng Qiuqiu.

"Hello Ms. Cheng. I am Wang Kui from the Chengdu branch of Sheng Tang Security. Entrusted by Mr. Tang, from now on, we will be responsible for the safety of you and your family 24 hours a day."

Immediately, the other three men in black suits behind him also bowed, "Miss Cheng."

The invisible earpiece beneath his collar flickered with a faint red light; his eyes were sharp as an eagle's, and his entire being exuded a well-trained, suffocating sense of oppression.

Zhang Zhanpeng's dark, plump body suddenly shuddered, and all the color drained from his face.

He suddenly stood up straight, his pupils contracting violently from extreme shock.

These are… the bodyguards from [Sheng Tang Security]?!
Having worked in the gray area for many years and running his own security company, he certainly knew what this group of people represented.

Private security services are typically reserved for the wealthiest and most prominent individuals.

For example, top-tier celebrities in China are usually accompanied by only two or three such "guards".

But now, there are four of them here at the same time.

And they're here to protect this mother and daughter who have no connections whatsoever?!

Looking at their statues-like figures, Zhang Zhanpeng's legs began to go weak uncontrollably.

Li Meihua was stunned by the surreal scenes unfolding before her eyes.

She glanced at the black-clad bodyguards she'd only ever seen in movies, then at the incredibly powerful legal team, and finally at her daughter…

My heart is beating faster and faster.

His weathered face flushed red.

Qiuqiu, standing in the very center of the crowd, looked at the lawyer Luo Bin, who was smiling gently at her, and then at the four security guards in black suits.

Her full breasts began to heave violently.

Tang and Song Dynasties... Tang and Song Dynasties...

Isn't he in Yancheng?
How could he know what's going on with me right now?

Why would he... send these people here to protect me?
Am I dreaming?
She bit her tongue hard, feeling a distinct pain.

It’s not a dream…

She thought of the unexpected caring text message she received that morning, and of her conversations with him.

An indescribable sense of happiness, like a volcanic eruption, instantly overwhelmed all her reason.

Tang Song... he has always been silently watching over me?
Without my knowledge?
She has always been a timid person, and she has become even more so these past few days.

My mother was injured and hospitalized. She faces threats from the developer and the security company, and she also has to fight them in court.

She is really scared.

She was just used to pretending and didn't want to show her true self in front of her mother.

Tang Song, it was as if he heard her deepest cry for help.

It descended from the sky in such an incredible and powerful manner.

All the unease and fear vanished in that moment.

Instead, there is an unprecedented sense of security.

Above their heads, the [Dream Flower Seed] swayed violently.

The emerald green light transformed into tiny rays of light, like spring rain, sprinkling down upon her.

A pure white camellia quietly blooms in the halo of light, its petals crystal clear, radiating a soft and sacred glow.
