The Liu family residence.

"Dad, I'm home!"

Panting, Zhou Qin rushed into the yard and saw Liu Jingzhong sitting in a chair with a gloomy expression. He immediately felt guilty and hurriedly explained, "Dad, I had to go out for a while and came back a little late."

"That Commander Long is here to see you again, isn't he?" Liu Jingzhong said meaningfully.

Zhou Qin's expression changed slightly. Knowing he couldn't hide it any longer, he said awkwardly, "Dad, you... you already know?"

"Hmph, he's already found his way here, how could I not know?"

Liu Jingzhong sneered, "What does he want with you?"

"this……"

Zhou Qin's eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Is there anything you can't tell me?" Liu Jingzhong narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Of course not!"

Zhou Qin waved his hands repeatedly, "Dad, don't misunderstand, I just felt that there was no need to tell you."

"Then tell me!"

The more Zhou Qin refused to talk about it, the more curious Liu Jingzhong became.

Although he is getting on in years, his curiosity has not diminished with age.

"He wants me to plead with you, say some nice things to you, and give him another chance. He's sure he can ruin Wang Qian's company."

Zhou Qin said sullenly, "Dad, as you know, Commander Long has always wanted to prove to you that he is capable, but he messed up the task you asked him to do last time. Since you don't want to see him, he can only ask me to help plead on his behalf."

"You should stay away from people like that in the future."

Liu Jingzhong scoffed, "To expect this self-important guy to bring down Wang Qian's company is simply wishful thinking."

"Who can argue with that?"

Zhou Qin quickly chimed in, "So I ignored him and came straight back."

"Alright, hurry up and change your clothes. I'll take you to West Street to see the sights and help you expand your network."

Liu Jingzhong urged, "Although we are businessmen, we have connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. We will always be useful in the future, and this will benefit your future development."

"Thank you, Dad!"

Zhou Qin nodded gratefully and hurriedly ran to his room.

Liu Jingzhong stood up from his chair, walked step by step to the window, looked up at the gloomy sky, and a ruthless look gradually appeared on his face.

"Qingqing, please be patient and wait a few more days!"

He muttered to himself in a voice only he could hear, "As long as Wang Qian dies, and Zhou Qin is pushed out as a scapegoat, Dad can find a way to overturn your case and get you out."

"In order to save you, Dad has no choice but to sacrifice Zhou Qin."

"You can understand your father's good intentions!"

Just as I was deep in thought, a figure rushed in, shouting, "Dad, something terrible has happened!"

"Feiyang, what's wrong?"

Liu Jingzhong snapped out of his daze and asked, "Feiyang, what happened?"

The person who came in was a young man wearing a white shirt, whose appearance and the charm between his brows were somewhat similar to his.

It was his son, Liu Feiyang.

"Dad, people from the court are here. They want to see you!"

Liu Feiyang pointed to the gate, his face vaguely filled with unease.

"People from the court?"

Liu Jingzhong frowned slightly. "Did they say what it was about?"

"I haven't asked yet."

Liu Feiyang replied, "Dad, why don't you go out and take a look yourself?"

A hint of doubt appeared on Liu Jingzhong's face.

Generally, when the court visits a home in person, there are only two purposes.

Notify the defendant to appear in court, or issue a judgment.

Therefore, it's definitely not a good thing when people from the court suddenly come knocking on your door.

"Alright, let's go out and take a look!"

Knowing he couldn't avoid it, Liu Jingzhong hesitated for a moment, but still followed Liu Feiyang outside.

Upon arriving at the gate, they indeed saw a court vehicle parked outside the Liu family's gate.

Inside the courtyard, several court staff members looked around curiously, seemingly quite curious about the Liu family's residence. Some of them even showed surprise and envy on their faces.

"The Liu family truly lives up to its reputation as the most prestigious family in Nanming County; their residence is incredibly luxurious!"

"Yes, we probably couldn't afford even a small courtyard here with our entire lifetime's salary."

"Sigh, it's still more profitable to do business. I wish I hadn't taken the civil service exam."

"Working hard every day and having to follow all sorts of rules doesn't even compare to someone making a big business deal."

"Otherwise, I might quit my job in a while and start my own business."

Several court staff members whispered among themselves, seemingly amazed by the Liu family's magnificent mansion.

Liu Jingzhong, who had just stepped outside, overheard their conversation.

A smug smile appeared on his lips as he strode forward and politely asked, "Are you all here to see me?"

"You must be Mr. Liu Jingzhong?"

The court staff member in the lead seemed a little flustered. When facing Liu Jingzhong, he acted as if he had met an idol, and his speech was somewhat restrained. "We are here to deliver the notice to you."

As he spoke, he took a document out of his bag and presented it to Liu Jingzhong with both hands.

"Oh? What kind of notification?"

Despite saying that, Liu Jingzhong still accepted it.

Upon seeing this, his face immediately darkened.

It was indeed a court notice from Tang.

The content is that a man named Gu Zhijian sued him, saying that he had broken the other party's leg several years ago, causing him to become disabled.

After reading the contents, Liu Jingzhong's expression changed repeatedly.

He certainly remembered Gu Zhijian; he was his mistress's man.

A few years ago, he was caught red-handed by Gu Zhijian for having an affair with Gu Zhijian's woman. Enraged, Gu Zhijian threatened to fight him to the death, and he certainly fought back with all his might.
