Su Honggang nodded and bowed to open the car door for Xu Lisha:
"Mr. Xu, why did you come here in person? If you have something to say, can't you just tell Li Qing?"
"Where's Su Dongchen!"
Lisa Xu looked around but couldn't see Su Dongchen. "Didn't I tell you to bring him here?"
"Dongchen went to tutoring. I just came out of his house. Mr. Xu, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I'll tell him when he comes back."
Lisa Xu opened the back door and took out a fresh-keeping box. "Give this to Dongchen secretly. Remember, don't let my sister know. She's been upset with me because of what happened last time Dongchen drank blood!"
"Or I should say your sister is just tall and short-sighted! She's far inferior to you in appearance, and you're someone who can accomplish great things. Don't worry, I won't let her know. You still have..."
Xu Lisha interrupted Su Honggang impatiently: "You and Dongchen wait here at 8 o'clock tonight. I will send someone to pick you up and take you to a place."
"Bring all those weasels with him. I'm going to teach that damned girl a lesson. Take this fifty thousand dollars for now, and I'll give you more when we're done."
"Mr. Xu, you are so generous. You haven't even done anything yet, and you've already given me so much. This 50,000 yuan can buy that girl's life. Don't worry, I will complete the task."

Ju Yanchu pushed open the door quietly. He didn't dare to turn on the light and went straight to the bedroom.
"Yan Chu, where have you been?" Dong Yiming's sharp voice came from the darkness.
Ju Yanchu broke out in a cold sweat: "Dad, you scared me. Why aren't you sleeping in the middle of the night?"
"If you have nothing to hide, what are you afraid of? I was about to ask you what you were doing up so late at night! Didn't you say you had a headache and wanted to go to bed early during dinner?"
"Dad, look at what you said. What could possibly be wrong with me? I just felt really stuffy and went out for some fresh air. I'm feeling much better now. I have to go to work tomorrow, so you should get some rest too!"
Ju Yanchu finished speaking and was about to go back to the bedroom. Dong Yiming stood up and turned on the light. He looked at Ju Yanchu seriously:
"A file bag is missing from my drawer. No one else would have taken it except you. I want to know if you gave it to Sui Maochang. What evidence do you have against him? Xiao Jing's eyes have been swollen from crying these past few days. What's going on between you two?"
Ju Yanchu stood there like a petrified man for a long time without moving. It seemed that he could no longer hide it, so he decided to just tell it out loud.
"Dad, you guessed right. I took it and gave it to Sui Maochang. I knew it contained evidence to accuse him of corruption, bribery, and speculation. I did this for your own good..."
Dong Yiming could no longer bear it and angrily shouted: "Shut up! If you really want to do this for my own good, then hand over the evidence and bring Sui Maochang, this black sheep, to justice. Get rid of this evil for the people!"
Ju Yanchu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Dad, you can't beat Sui Maochang. Don't you know what has allowed him to dominate Qingcheng for so many years? Even officials with higher positions than him have to bow down to him. What are you still holding on to?"
Dong Yiming looked at Ju Yanchu disappointedly: "You really impressed me! You and Xiao Jing have been married for so many years, and you have been hiding it very well! I had high hopes for you. I didn't expect you to be such a sycophantic, profit-seeking villain."
How come I hadn't noticed it before? This normally upright, righteous, and ambitious young man was just doing it for show.
Poor thing, I still worked hard to cultivate him, thinking that he would become a useful talent one day!
Ju Yanchu simply stopped pretending: "I came from the countryside and now I have made it to the city government. Is it easy for me? I will not watch you destroy my job with my own eyes."
"Sui Maochang and I are in the same department, so I know him better than anyone else. There are so many people who want to bring him down, but they only end up humiliating themselves."
"You're old and about to retire. You can leave everything alone, but have you considered me? Will Sui Maochang let me go?"
"I'm just an ordinary person, not a saint. There are three kinds of unfilial behavior, and having no descendants is the worst. Dong Jing is unable to have children now, and someone else is pregnant with my child. I want to keep him. Isn't this human nature?"
Dong Yiming was so angry that he couldn't speak. He felt the blood rushing up and instantly felt dizzy and sweaty.
He huddled on the sofa, trembling all over and breathing heavily.
Seeing this, Ju Yanchu realized the seriousness of the problem and was about to shout to Dong Jing to call an ambulance, but then he changed his mind and gave up the idea.
He turned off the light and walked into the bedroom calmly...
--
Sui Maochang sat up drowsily from the recliner and found that the psychologist Xu Lisa had hired for him had left.
Xu Lisha hired this doctor for him half a year ago because poor sleep seriously affected his normal life.
Xu Lisha said that poor sleep is caused by too heavy a psychological burden and is also a mental illness.
The treatment was effective at first, but I've been feeling really tired lately. After each treatment, my head feels like it's been swirling with goo.
Sui Maochang called Xu Lisa and wanted to tell her not to let this doctor come in the future.
Xu Lisha answered the phone and before Sui Maochang could speak, she said:
"Ju Yanchu didn't lie. Dong Yiming was indeed hospitalized due to a cerebral hemorrhage. Even if he wakes up, he'll be in a vegetative state and pose no threat to us."
Sui Maochang was now completely relieved. "There's always light at the end of the tunnel! Now the crisis is over. Once we blow up the town, all the witnesses and evidence will be gone. We can rest easy and live a peaceful life from now on."
Xu Lisha was happy but didn't forget to remind Sui Maochang: "Didn't Ju Yanchu ask for hush money? Let him come to the town tonight to get it. I want to tell him that when you drink water, you should remember the well digger. Without me, how could he have his own flesh and blood? If he is obedient, I will make him successful."
