"What did they say after they arrived?"
Tong Xiaohuai paused for a moment, then looked up at Uncle Zheng who was driving in front of her. "You should ask Uncle Zheng about this. I don't actually know the specifics."
Yan Bo frowned slightly; Tong Xiaohuai's reaction was somewhat strange.
Because, based on his understanding of her, although she had only taken over the Tong family not long ago, almost all of the Tong family's affairs were handled through her, unless someone had done something shady behind her back.
If that's the case, then things will get a bit complicated.
After all, as the leader, if there is evidence that her brothers did some dirty work, it would be very difficult for her to escape punishment.
“They’ve dug up some old dirt, but the evidence is solid, which is why Amin insists that he did everything.”
While Uncle Zheng was saying these things, Tong Xiaohuai pursed her lips and remained silent.
Yan Bo put his arm around her shoulder and gently patted her to comfort her, saying, "Since it's an old grievance, there's a chance to turn things around. After all, so much time has passed, it's much easier to find loopholes."
He knew very well that Qin Ming held a very important place in Tong Xiaohuai's heart.
If Qin Ming is indeed sentenced for this, Tong Xiaohuai will definitely feel very upset.
As an indirect perpetrator of pressure, he would also be deeply troubled by his conscience.
Tong Xiaohuai remained silent, and Uncle Zheng didn't respond either.
Yanbo quickly went through his friends and said to Uncle Zheng, "Uncle Zheng, would you mind if I asked you to find a lawyer to assist you?"
Uncle Zheng thought for a moment, "If it's your company's lawyer, then forget it. At this time, don't drag Yanhuang into it. The boss specifically told us that before."
It turns out that Boss Tong received word of the incident immediately after it happened.
He knew many people and quickly found out the inside story of the incident, so he asked Uncle Zheng to come and help him deal with it.
He also instructed Uncle Zheng, "It would be best if you could clear your name. If you really can't clear your name, and even Ah Ming can't take the blame, then you should push the responsibility onto me. Just don't involve Xiao Yan and his company."
Now, Uncle Zheng relayed Boss Tong's exact words to Yan Bo.
Yan Bo listened and remained silent for a very long time.
He understood Tong Laoda's good intentions, of course.
Tong Laoda had made the worst-case scenario preparations. If the Tong family really couldn't escape this calamity, Yanhuang and Yanbo would be Tong Xiaohuai's greatest refuge.
At this moment, Yan Bo's feelings were complicated. He couldn't even count how many kinds of emotions were surging in his heart as if it were about to burst.
At this moment, he felt guilty, sad, and angry, and at the same time, a sense of powerlessness was growing within him.
He pressed his face against Tong Xiaohuai's, gently rubbing it, and asked in a low voice.
"Xiao Huai, what's your choice?"
He loved Tong Xiaohuai so much that he was willing to give up everything for her.
But his love was also fiery; once he pounced on her, he could burn everything in the Tong family down in an instant.
If his love requires the Tong family and Tong Xiaohuai to pay such a heavy price, should he still love?
Yanbo doesn't have that right. He can't be so selfish as to destroy the hard work of generations of the Tong family for his own love!
Tong Xiaohuai turned her head slightly and stared at him in the light of the night lamp.
"Yanbo, don't tell me you're thinking of backing out now?"
Her voice was cold, and her whole body was trembling slightly.
Yanbo wanted to hold her tightly, but he knew he didn't deserve it.
Because everything tonight is entirely thanks to his father.
In other words, as long as Tong Xiaohuai chooses to give up on him now, everything in the Tong family will be back to normal tomorrow, and all of tonight's events will be erased like a dream, leaving no trace.
“Xiao Huai, you know I don’t want to back down, but the Tong family is the culmination of generations of your hard work! I…”
There are some things that even Yanbo can't bring himself to say.
Tong Xiaohuai's gaze grew cold, and with trembling hands, she pushed Yan Bo away.
"Yanbo, where is your courage? Where is your resolve? Did you just give up so easily because of something like this?"
Yan Bo was powerless to refute, painfully meeting Tong Xiaohuai's critical gaze, wishing she would scold him a few more times, so that he could feel a little better.
He now felt like a heinous sinner in front of the Tong family and Tong Xiaohuai.
“I understood what Uncle Zheng just said. Didn’t you understand? My dad meant the worst-case scenario, but we haven’t reached the worst point yet, have we?”
Yan Bo gave her a wry smile. "Xiao Huai, that's my dad. I know his temperament better than anyone."
Things happened so suddenly that Yanbo and the Tong family had no chance to turn back.
Clearly, Yan Zhong not only acted ruthlessly, but also knew his son's Achilles' heel.
The Tong family and Tong Xiaohuai are the son's Achilles' heel.
Yan Bo, however, did not have the courage to use the Tong family and Tong Xiaohuai as bargaining chips, and in his panic, he could only choose to back down.
But Tong Xiaohuai was extremely stubborn at this moment.
"Yanbo, what kind of war is this? You never know who will win until the very last step. We've only just started fighting, and you're already admitting defeat? Tell me, what are you so afraid of?"
Tong Xiaohuai's eyes were filled with resentment and anger at his son's lack of ambition.
Yan Bo breathed heavily, "Xiao Huai, I'm afraid you'll get hurt, I'm afraid Uncle Tong and Aunt Tong will get hurt because of this, and I'm also afraid the Tong family will suffer a heavy blow because of this..."
Tong Xiaohuai gritted her teeth and glared at him. "My dad said that when he took over the Tong family, the family was almost destroyed several times, but he managed to turn the tide and bring the Tong family back to life. Moreover, it has grown stronger and stronger. This time, we can do it too!"
Yan Bo remained silent, while Tong Xiaohuai reached out and took his hand, which she had just shaken off.
"Yanbo, believe in me, believe in my dad, and believe in yourself. Don't give up so easily, okay?"
Yan Bo held her slightly cool hand. It was always him who held this hand tightly, and it was always she who drew comfort and strength from him.
But this time, their positions were reversed.
This time, it was her turn to comfort him and give him strength.
"Really? Is that okay?"
Because that's the Tong family, Tong Xiaohuai's family and everything in the Tong family, so he has no right to decide whether or not to gamble on this.
Tong Xiaohuai watched as the fighting spirit gradually returned to his eyes, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She nodded at him with absolute certainty, "Of course we can. I believe that with the strength of so many of us, we can definitely overcome this calamity."
In the past, Yan Bo would occasionally think that Tong Xiaohuai's ideas were too naive.
But now, he is willing to believe that her naive stubbornness and persistence will surely have a happy ending.
"Okay, let's go back and discuss what we should do next." At this moment, Yan Bo regained his usual confidence and composure.
