Chapter 15 Counterattack Starts

Jia Wenjun knew that after she published this article using her real name, the property management of Ludao Residential Complex would definitely investigate Lili and Gong Dalong. They would have to cough up the embezzled money. As for what punishment they deserved, that was a matter between the company and them. She was only responsible for publishing the truth and not letting them throw mud at her.

Less than ten minutes after the article was posted, the entire online opinion changed.

Lili sat in front of her computer in the office, and after seeing the article posted by Jia Wenjun, she felt like she had fallen into an ice cave.

Why would this happen? Why did Jia Wenjun have screenshots of her private correspondence with Gong Dalong?

Before she could figure it out, she heard a burst of noisy footsteps and the clatter of high heels behind her.

Manager Ma glared at Lili in front of him and said to the two male security guards behind him, "Keep an eye on her and don't let her touch the company's computer again. Lili, I am now formally informing you that the company has called the police, and you better wait here for the police to come."

"How dare you? You smiling tiger! If it weren't for me, the ship would still be drifting at sea. I saved everyone on board. I saved the company from having to pay huge compensation to the owners. I am a hero! Is this how you treat me?"

No one paid attention to Lili's yelling. As soon as Jia Wenjun's article was published, the paranoid headquarters immediately reacted. Manager Ma was now acting on instructions from headquarters to have the security guards restrain Lili.

Of course, Lili couldn't just sit still and wait for death. She stood up and tried to rush out, but was stopped by two tall security guards in front of her desk.

"What are you doing? I want to see who dares to stop me!" Lili was hysterical, grabbing things from the table and smashing them, kicking and hitting the two security guards.

The other colleagues in the office were afraid of being affected and quickly left. The two male security guards saw that she was a woman and didn't fight back, but they refused to let her leave and didn't let her out of the way until the police arrived.

At this time, Wu Peng, who was in the hospital, understood the details of the evidence with Jia Wenjun, and then analyzed the situation they might face later.

"With conclusive evidence, Lili and Gong Dalong will be held accountable. Because Gong Dalong is no longer alive, although the responsibility will no longer be pursued, his family will also be held responsible for property-related matters, and the embezzled money needs to be returned. Judging from the amount, Lili will most likely be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and will also be fined."

Jia Wenjun couldn't see her emotions, and said lightly, "They should have known there would be such consequences when they reached out."

She didn't know if Lili was the one who had been setting her up on the ship, nor did she know if Lili had anything to do with the person who set her up. Jia Wenjun had already figured it out. There were only these people on the ship, so since she wasn't sure, she would take them one by one.

Anyway, she had no way out.

Now that Lili had attacked her first, she would use Lili as her first target.

Wu Peng paused: "Your choice to personally publish this may attract retaliation from some extreme family members."

He told her about the potential risks because he wanted to remind her that her family was now in the hospital and needed to protect themselves.

"I know. I've hired two rotating caregivers for each of my parents, and someone will be watching them 24 hours a day."

"What about yourself?" he asked.

Jia Wenjun squeezed out a fearless smile: "I survived on the ship, and I don't believe that the other party can kill me here. Even if the other party attacks, I'm not afraid, because being afraid is useless. Now that it's come to this, as long as I don't die, the other party shouldn't think about having a good life."

Her voice was not loud, but it had a touching firmness.

Wu Peng looked at her pretty face and thin shoulders, and subconsciously comforted her: "This is not a lawless place. I will come to the hospital to see my grandfather after get off work these days. If there is anything, call me and I will be there soon."

"Okay." Jia Wenjun didn't decline. At this time, she wouldn't refuse anyone who could help her.

To be honest, when she first saw this young lawyer who was so trendy and unconventional in his dress, she didn't think he was a reliable lawyer.

When she learned that he was Mr. Wang's grandson, she remembered that Mr. Wang said when chatting with them on the first day on the ship that he had a grandson who always wanted to do some messy rock and roll, and then he forced him to study law. Now when she saw Wu Peng, she felt that his temperament was indeed more suitable for rock and roll.

Of course, she wouldn't tell him these things, and they didn't have time to exchange pleasantries. However, after getting along these two days, when she needed help the most, Wu Peng was the one who was helping her. Her trust in him was quickly established.

Seeing Jia Wenjun treat him as one of her own, Wu Peng inexplicably became motivated and told her the latest progress he had learned from several channels about the case.

Jia Wenjun knew that those people would definitely bite the bullet and tell the police that she was the murderer. She would not let these people who had bullied her on the ship continue to slander her after getting off the ship.

Since it had already started with Lili, then the next one would be Anna.

Even if Jia Wenjun knew that without her, Anna would not have a good outcome, she still had to personally send Anna some more "gifts", otherwise wouldn't she be letting down Anna's painstaking efforts to get her on the ship?

It's just that she doesn't know whether to tell Wu Peng about her thoughts now. Even if he is her lawyer, but people's hearts are separated by their bellies, and his relationship with Mr. Wang makes her afraid to completely trust him now.

After listening to what Wu Peng told her, she intentionally or unintentionally asked more about Anna's current situation.

"She is now in custody. I heard that there are still escaped fish from the drug trafficking gang. Now the police are fully pursuing them, and they will be tried together when they are all caught."

"Escaped fish?" Jia Wenjun instantly became nervous. She didn't know who had escaped. Thinking of those drugs, a picture suddenly flashed in her mind. Anna's carpets on the ship, besides on the ship, she seemed to have seen them somewhere else.

Her mother's phone suddenly rang, and she was startled. When she answered, it turned out that the doctor from her father's side was calling to say that her father had woken up.

Jia Wenjun's hanging heart finally relaxed. She wanted to go over and see him, but Wu Peng had already stood up: "I'll go. Uncle Jia and this place are in two buildings. I'll go and take a video for you. You stay here and accompany Auntie."

"Okay, then I'll have to trouble you." Jia Wenjun didn't know how many times she had said this to him these two days. She was grateful in her heart, thinking that after the case was over, she would give this lawyer Wu a big red envelope alone.

After Wu Peng left, Jia Wenjun leaned on the hospital bed. She tried hard to recall when she had seen the picture in her mind.

The meal ordered from the hospital had already been delivered, and the caregiver was already feeding her mother. She didn't feel like eating, and dealt with a few bites at random. Her thoughts drifted to the balcony outside the ward where things were being dried.

The balcony?

Some chaotic pictures in her mind kept tumbling. It seemed like she was about to remember something, but it was just a little bit off. She just couldn't remember.
