"You're holding me so tightly, what were you dreaming about?" Zhan Mohan asked with an unfathomable smile.
Wei Yumeng snapped awake and said, "Get up quickly."
Zhan Mohan refused, reaching out to embrace Wei Yumeng.
After a bout of playful wrestling, they finally got out of bed. After resting, Wei Yumeng's energy had recovered.
Ring, ring, ring, the phone rang.
Zhan Mohan took out his phone and saw it was the buzz-cut police officer from today.
"Mr. Zhan, there's been a problem here."
Zhan Mohan's expression changed. "What happened?"
"These three, Wei Anguo and the other two, have been tight-lipped, refusing to say anything. We can't get any information out of them." The buzz-cut officer watched the three silent figures on the monitor. It was strange; they had seemed on the verge of death when they arrived, but once here, it was as if someone had guided them. They were all like shut doors, saying nothing, at most saying they would wait for their lawyers.
"I understand," Zhan Mohan said, hanging up the phone hastily.
"What's wrong?" Wei Yumeng sounded anxious. She absolutely did not want to let these three go, especially after she had vaguely heard news about them.
Zhan Mohan held her hands and said, "Don't worry, I need to go and see."
"I'll go with you," Wei Yumeng said, looking at Zhan Mohan.
"No, you should rest at home." Zhan Mohan was very concerned about her health, feeling she had expended too much energy today.
"No way, you know me!" Wei Yumeng said firmly! She had to go, or she wouldn't be able to live with herself.
Zhan Mohan thought for a moment and agreed.
On the way to the police station, Fang Xun had already investigated everything.
It turned out that Wei Anguo had help from someone, and that person was the lawyer He Wei. Because He Wei and Wei Anguo had some past dealings, Wei Anguo and the others were able to act this way.
Who was He Wei? A luminary in the legal world, he had won countless cases at a young age, able to twist black into white. He Wei was indeed formidable in this regard.
After a brief report, Zhan Mohan knew everything. He looked at Wei Yumeng; her brow was furrowed, her lips pressed together, her expression heavy with worry.
Wei Yumeng wondered, would all their efforts be in vain? Her revenge was not yet complete! They hadn't paid the price they deserved, how could they be let off so easily? She clenched her fists!
Suddenly, a warm hand rested on her fist, sending a wave of warmth that felt like a continuous flow of strength.
Wei Yumeng looked up at Zhan Mohan and smiled faintly, as if to say, It's alright, don't worry.
Finally, they arrived.
The buzz-cut officer saw them and walked over, scratching his head. "Mr. Zhan, these three are really strange."
"I understand, take us to see them."
Entering, they saw the three sitting there miserably, a far cry from their demeanor earlier today.
"Hahaha, Zhan Mohan, I'm telling you, I'm not afraid of you! I have the best lawyer!" Wei Anguo laughed maniacally, his face contorted. Then, he turned his head to Wei Yumeng and said, "The biggest regret of my life was giving birth to you!"
Wei Yumeng said coldly, "That's an unchangeable fact. The blood flowing in my veins is yours, and it's a stain on my life!"
Did he think such words could affect her? Impossible. Her mother was gone; she, Wei Yumeng, was an orphan. She had no father.
In a flash, a thought surged through Wei Yumeng. She said to Zhan Mohan, "Let's go."
Zhan Mohan couldn't fathom her thoughts.
"We're withdrawing. The evidence is insufficient." Zhan Mohan was utterly confused. "Mengmeng, what are you doing?"
Wei Yumeng squeezed Zhan Mohan's hand and looked at him.
Zhan Mohan immediately understood. Fang Xun, standing nearby, was dumbfounded. What were they saying? It was like he couldn't understand them. Was this what they called telepathy?
And so, Wei Anguo and the other two were released. Wei Anguo thought Zhan Mohan was intimidated by him, by his legal ace, He Wei.
In reality, he didn't know that Wei Yumeng felt that prison was too comfortable. Why should they be put in there? It was far more painful to live in this world!
They wouldn't use the conventional route. They would let them go, because this was just the beginning!
Wei Anguo was lying on his sofa at home, thinking, I should have just used force. Why beg them? Hahaha, what was the point of begging? They still let them out obediently!
Thinking of this, Wei Anguo hummed a little tune contentedly.
He opened his eyes and saw Yin Fang and Wei Jin, and his face instantly darkened.
He stood up abruptly and slapped Yin Fang twice. "You damn Yin Fang, what did you say to Wei Yumeng? You want to drag me down with you? I'm telling you, no way!" he said, his hands not stopping.
He pushed Yin Fang to the ground and kicked her.
The moment Yin Fang returned from the police station, she felt a sense of unease. She knew Wei Anguo wouldn't let her off. Based on what she had said to Wei Yumeng, she understood her good days were over. She closed her eyes in despair.
Wei Jin, on the side, was still reveling in the joy of being released from the police station, never expecting Wei Anguo's sudden, storm-like fists to rain down on Yin Fang.
She was stunned and, only after a moment, threw herself forward, trying to block Wei Anguo's punches.
But what good would it do? If not for the foolish things these two had done, would Wei Anguo be like this!
He completely disregarded that Wei Jin was his daughter and beat them both.
By the time Wei Anguo's anger subsided, Yin Fang and Wei Jin were already on the verge of death, unable to move.
It seemed as though things were truly improving. The troubles that Wei Group had encountered disappeared.
Wei Anguo thought, "His Zhan Mohan is all talk and no substance. He was just scared off like this. Useless! Hahaha." The more he thought about it, the more excited Wei Anguo became.
Zhan Group. "Is the bait ready?" Zhan Mohan said to Fang Xun.
"It's ready," Fang Xun replied.
"Mr. Wei, there's a big project coming up soon. Take a look, the land here is excellent, and many people are eager for it. I heard Zhan Group is also vying for this location," the beautiful secretary said, adjusting her glasses.
"Oh, really?" Wei Anguo did feel it was a bit risky, but after what had happened a few days ago, he saw this as an opportunity, a chance for him to shine again, a chance to strike at Zhan Group!
"We must secure it!" Wei Anguo waved his hand and signed the document. He was determined to win!
After a long period of effort, he finally obtained the project.
For many days, Yin Fang and Wei Jin lived a life worse than death. Every time Wei Anguo returned, he took out his frustrations on them. There wasn't a good spot on their bodies. Yin Fang even despaired, thinking, "If only I had gone to jail, I wouldn't have to suffer like this."
Meanwhile, Wei Anguo shamelessly brought his mistress home and lorded over them!
...
Finally, Wei Anguo secured the project. At the ribbon-cutting ceremony, as everyone cheered, police sirens wailed.
The sound made Wei Anguo's legs go weak. Immediately, several police officers arrived, and a pair of silver handcuffs were placed on his wrists.
Wei Anguo trembled. The officer said directly, "We have received a verified report that Wei Anguo of Wei Group has evaded a massive amount of taxes. You are hereby detained."
Wei Anguo shouted, "..."
