Chapter 277 Moving Money

Chapter 277 Moving Money

Pei Wencong's guess was correct. As soon as the two partners from Qiao Ben Law Firm arrived, the families of the seven people who were beaten by Li Dayong asked for a settlement.

Two Rolls-Royces arrived, one after the other, and two white lawyers got out, each with a legal team. One handled bail, and the other handled prosecution and evidence collection.

The people at the scene were stunned, wondering if today was not a case of drag racing or fighting? Did these people walk into the wrong door?

Luo Runbo gritted his teeth and said to Jamie: "Is it necessary to ask both of your bosses to come? There should be a bottom line for you to make money."

Jamie said with a grin, "You have a budget of one million dollars, right? We have a standard fee. We will only make you feel that you get great value for money and will never ask for an exorbitant price."

Luo Runbo understood what Jamie meant. In a case like this, one million yuan could never be spent, not even half of it.

Then the two white lawyers who charge by the second become background statues for "performance-boosting".

Moreover, they just stand there and talk, while the work is done by their assistants. They have a stern attitude of "I don't bother to talk to you, but don't treat me as if I don't exist."

Those officers who just watched Li Ye and Pei Wencong being besieged and didn't care about the matter, are now working very efficiently.

Because the first thing the two lawyers did when they entered the room was to ask the police why they didn't give Li Dayong a doctor? Why did they tolerate a group of people yelling at Pei Wenhui who was taking notes?

Before the dozen or so families of the injured could react, they were accused of malicious intimidation and slander of Pei Wenhui. Each of them was given a lawyer's letter, and various subsequent programs are probably being planned.

Half an hour later, Li Ye met Li Dayong.

His shirt and pants were torn, with faint bloodstains, and it looked a little unnatural for him to walk on one leg.

Pei Wenhui, who had cried several times just now, supported Li Dayong and walked over, and began to cry again.

When Li Dayong saw Li Ye, he unnaturally retracted his arm that was supported by Pei Wenhui.

"Brother, I didn't mean it. I just yelled and they..."

Given the relationship between Li Dayong and Li Ye, he would not say "I'm sorry" if something like this happened, he would only say "It's not my fault."

But after saying this, Li Dayong felt embarrassed and regretful. After all, his brother brought him to Hong Kong Island to play, but he ended up in jail and also caused Pei Wenhui to go to jail as well.

But Li Ye smiled and said, "So what if it's intentional? It's not shameful to fight seven people alone."

Wang Jianqiang next to him also smiled and said, "Yes, it's not shameful."

Pei Wenhui looked at Li Ye in disbelief with her mouth open.

This benefactor of my eldest brother has always been so gentle and polite, I never expected that he would say such a thing.

However, Pei Wencong secretly raised the importance of Li Dayong to Li Ye in his heart.

"Let's go! Let's take you to the hospital first."

"Why send me to a hospital? I just sprained my ankle. It's okay, brother. The blood on me is theirs."

"Stop talking nonsense and go quickly."

"It's not shameful enough that I won't go! I just won't go."

Li Dayong hid in the Mercedes-Benz car and acted like a stubborn child.

Li Ye was about to kick him, but Pei Wenhui took small steps towards him and said softly, "Let's change clothes first, and then go see if you have any broken bones. If you don't tell me, no one will know that you got it from a fight, okay?"

"Uh-huh, I. Don't need that! I know what to do."

"You are so tall and strong, please don't be afraid of this or that, it will be quick."

Li Dayong hesitated and glanced secretly in Li Ye's direction.

Li Ye tilted his head to the side, pretending not to see.

"Hey, gentlemen, let's talk about this. My son has been beaten badly. You can't do this."

"We can talk it over! Don't be so ruthless!"

The group of people who were so arrogant just now walked towards Li Ye and others. They were unwilling but had no choice but to admit defeat.

But just as they came up and said a few words, Jamie and several colleagues who were standing in the distance ran over quickly.

"Madam and sir, you have harassed and threatened our client. We are now issuing a serious warning to you."

“.”

The crowd, who had only said a few words, looked at the lawyers with shining eyes as they wrote something in the notebook. How could they not understand that they were being treated like moving cash?

At this point, they were filled with endless regret, regretting why they had underestimated these two Ah Chans.

But using a budget of 10 million Hong Kong dollars to fight a fight lawsuit is really unethical!

. . . . . .

By the time they came out of the hospital and confirmed that there was no serious problem, it was already late. They were all hungry, so they found a place to eat and then returned to their home in Taiping Mountain.

After arriving home, Pei Wencong's mother asked about Li Dayong's well-being and even prepared some pomelo leaf water for him to get rid of bad luck. This gesture made Li Dayong feel very warm.

Ah Qiang, who used to be a gangster, kept asking Li Dayong about how he fought seven people at once, which made Li Dayong feel awkward and embarrassed.

Pei Wenhui recovered and described vividly: "My car couldn't move at that time, and Ayong jumped out of the car and shouted to those people, 'Don't leave.'

Then those people came over to attack me, and Ayong was unarmed. Those people were so fragile! They couldn’t even take a single punch, and in the end they even cheated and accused us of causing trouble.”

“.”

Li Ye looked at Li Dayong quietly, and seemed to see a blush on his awkwardly smiling face.

. . . . . . .

That night, neither Li Dayong nor Wang Jianqiang returned to their rooms. The two brothers squeezed into Li Ye's room, looking at the night view outside the window with reluctance.

Li Dayong, whose mood had completely calmed down, gradually became a little lost.

"Brother, I really don't understand. We are all flower growers. I just shouted a sentence in Mandarin today, and they came to bite me like chicken blood. The more they hit me, the more excited they became.

Didn't they see how big I was? I knocked them to the ground and they kept swearing at me. "

"It was the same when I arrived at the police station. When they saw my visa, the way they looked at me made me furious. If I were in Qingshui County, I would definitely beat them up again."

"But when those foreign lawyers arrived, their attitudes changed 180 degrees, and they bent their backs. I wondered if they had forgotten our ancestors. Do they look down on mainlanders so much?"

"They may think they have forgotten it, but they will never forget it in their hearts."

Li Ye lay on the bed, his hands behind his head, and smiled, "Have you noticed Mr. Pei's family? How are they different from us mainlanders?"

“.”

Li Dayong and Wang Jianqiang were speechless for a while. After a long while, Li Dayong said, "Brother, I think this Boss Pei is not like the capitalists in our propaganda."

Li Ye turned over, looked at Li Dayong on the ground and asked with a smile: "Why don't you look like him?"

"I'm not sure," Li Dayong thought for a moment before saying, "Sincere, too sincere, especially his mother. Although I don't understand Cantonese, you can see from her expression that she is very friendly to us, as if she had seen a relative."

"That's not what I meant."

Li Ye laughed and said, "Have you noticed that the ordinary people here are the same as us mainlanders in terms of living habits, customs, and so on."

"The British occupied Hong Kong for more than 80 years, but they still use chopsticks and worship Buddha. Even if some people speak English, they still burn paper to worship their ancestors during festivals every year."

"All their living habits are deeply influenced by the flower-growing civilization. They all have the "roots" of flower-growing culture in their hearts. So do you think Great Britain would consider them British?"

Li Dayong finally understood and asked Li Ye in confusion: "But I asked Pei Wenhui, she holds a British passport."

"You are wrong, Dayong. They will never become British people. They can only be flower growers."

Li Ye shook his head, covered himself with the quilt and went to sleep.

Because a lot of things happened in later generations, Li Ye knew something about them.

As long as your life is still influenced by the flower-growing civilization, those Western masters will never recognize you as one of their own.

Li Ye went to find Wen Leyu in his sweet dream, but Li Dayong tossed and turned for a long time and couldn't fall asleep. No one knew what he was thinking about.

"Alas~"

. . . . . . .

The next morning, Luo Runbo came to Pei Wencong's home and handed Li Ye a five-page list of lawyer fees.

The densely packed items above are all golden US dollars.

Li Ye took a closer look and felt that these people were like players who were working together to do a dungeon. They did not mind any monster, big or small, and would get two gold coins from any monster they could.

But it was a small case after all, and the total amount was less than $200,000.

Li Ye blinked and asked Luo Runbo: "That's all?"

Luo Runbo felt a little dry in the mouth and wanted to say, "These are just two thousand-square-foot mansions. Do you want to spend more?"

But the employer was rich and willful, so he could only say: "Mr. Li, the main thing is that you need Mr. Li Dayong to leave Hong Kong Island in a low-key manner, so you need to control the impact.

But even so, three people on the other side will have to go to jail, and the rest will also be punished accordingly. In the next two years, they will have to deal with the subsequent torture of this incident. "

"From last night till now, the other party has called me countless times to try to reconcile. Mr. Li, these punishments are very severe in Hong Kong Island and will affect their future fate."

"That's it for now!" Li Ye signed the quotation sheet and said, "I'm leaving Hong Kong Island tomorrow. If you have any questions, please call me. But I don't agree to the settlement."

Luo Runbo agreed: "Okay, Mr. Li, but it will take at least two to three weeks for Mr. Li Dayong to leave Hong Kong Island."

"Um?"

Li Ye was a little unhappy. The three brothers came here together, so how could they not leave together?

Luo Runbo hurriedly explained: "Mr. Li, since we can't reconcile, there is nothing we can do about it, but I promise that I can send Mr. Li Dayong away in three weeks."

Li Ye had no choice but to tell Li Dayong the "bad news", but Li Dayong said generously: "It's okay, brother. I eat well and sleep well here, and I have learned a lot of advanced mechanical knowledge.

It just so happened that a piece of sewing equipment had been dismantled in the factory and had not yet been fully researched, so it was a good opportunity to restore it to its original state.”

Li Ye looked at Li Dayong's dark circles suspiciously, wondering why he felt that he "ate well and slept well"?

Pei Wencong's family also said that they would take good care of Li Dayong.

But Li Ye still asked Pei Wencong to issue a few invitation letters and transfer a few retired soldiers from Pengcheng to accompany Li Dayong. No matter how good a person is at fighting, he still has to be cautious.
