Li Anmin racked his brains to figure out how his secret had been leaked. Even though it had come to this, he still didn't give up completely. After feeling discouraged, he sat on a chair and thought quietly for a moment, then picked up his phone and called Wang Li back.
After a ringtone, the call was reconnected. It was Lin Lidong on the other end, but he didn't speak.
Both sides were silent for more than ten seconds. Li Anmin cleared his throat and said in a deep voice, "I did do a lot for Wenshan Commerce. At first, it was for my own selfish interests, but later on, I gradually became unable to control myself.
I understand what you mean. You just want to rescue You Tianfu from prison.
I will ask my lawyer to resubmit the application tomorrow. This time it will be approved smoothly, and the case will be retried. He will definitely be convicted of self-defense and acquitted.
Before that, I will do everything I can to ensure You Tianfu's personal safety. Putting myself in his shoes, I hope you will also be sensible and not harm my wife. Forget everything in that account book!"
Lin Lidong smiled slightly and nodded in response: "Director Li is indeed a smart man. Smart people do smart things. We are not the kind of people who will abandon the donkey after it has done its work. I will ask my sister-in-law to go out for a few days. After she meets Brother Tian, she will come back with the account book intact.
I haven't backed up the account book, and I won't back it up either. You can rest assured about this!"
After a few simple words, the phone was hung up. Li Anmin rubbed his face vigorously. Suddenly, there was a sound of speakers outside the building. It was the prelude to the start of the film viewing conference. It was not until this time that he suddenly realized that Fang Yitian and others in the warehouse should have taken action against You Tianfu!
Thinking of this, Li Anmin's mood, which had just relaxed a little, instantly became tense again. Once Fang Yitian succeeded and You Tianfu died, he didn't know what would happen to others, but Lin Lidong and others would definitely not let him go. His end would be so miserable that he would not only lose everything he had now, but he might even have to live under the same roof with the prisoners here!
So he immediately got up and went outside, forcing himself to suppress his nervousness. He pretended to walk around the square, then pointed at the empty seat next to You Tianfu and asked, "Why is this place empty? Where is the prisoner?"
The prison guard next to him responded: "There's a missing stool. He went to the warehouse to get one!"
This remark hit Li Anmin right in the heart of the matter. His expression suddenly grew serious, and he sternly said, "Although the prison is strictly guarded, the necessary rules must still be followed. At this moment, how can we allow a prisoner to walk through it alone? Who will be held responsible if something goes wrong? How long has he been gone?"
The prison guard was also a little confused, because these things were ordered by the warden, and the warden had followed Li Anmin's wishes. Now Li Anmin was going against his will. Not to mention the prison guard, even the warden who was not far away was a little surprised.
But since the situation was already like this, the prison guard could only tell the truth. He looked at his watch and responded, "It's been twelve minutes since we left!"
Li Anmin's expression changed immediately after hearing this. He shouted softly, "No, there's a problem. Hurry up and call someone to go to the warehouse and check!"
At this time, most of the prison guards gathered in the square. With an order, more than ten people gathered on the spot and rushed into the warehouse in a mighty manner.
When a group of people arrived, the fight between Fang Yitian and You Tianfu was nearing its end, and there were still pieces of stool left on the ground. Li Anmin looked around, raised his hand and pushed the iron gate aside. As the prison guard broke in, he quickly turned around and left, avoiding a direct meeting with Fang Yitian!
Li Anmin stayed in prison for half a night. He finally breathed a sigh of relief when he received the news that his friend Tianfu was safe and sound. He then got up and returned home.
In the building, everything was the same as before, except that Wang Li and the account book were gone. Just as Lin Lidong said, all the money in the secret compartment of the study was intact. The few people only took away Wang Li and the account book, leaving nothing else behind.
Sitting on the sofa in his home, Li Anmin did not sleep all night and thought a lot.
Things had developed to this point, and it was impossible to find a good compromise between Wenshan Commerce and Daqin Group. If I killed You Tianfu, Lin Lidong would fight to the death. If I saved You Tianfu, Wu Feiyue would definitely not give up.
Both sides hold their own fatal handles in their hands. No matter who they fall out with, the final outcome will not deviate much.
So after a night of ideological struggle, Li Anmin made a bold decision. He was ready to go all out and give it a try for the rest of his life!
Li Anmin's plan was simple. He knew that he would never be able to become the chief of the police station. Once his crime was exposed, there would be a huge and earth-shaking overhaul.
After comprehensively considering the situations on both sides of Wenshan Commerce and Daqin Group, and since Wu Feiyue was still unaware of the progress of the matter, he decided to temporarily stabilize Lin Lidong and cooperate with him to bring out the friendly talent so that Wang Li could return home safely. As for the account book and whether there was a backup, it was no longer important.
Over the years, he had earned all the money he deserved and even shouldn't have, and his savings were enough to satisfy his extravagant lifestyle for the rest of his life. As long as Wang Li could return safely, he would flee abroad before the truth came to light. Once he had taken root abroad and disappeared without a trace, he would have nothing to fear anymore!
As for the feud between Daqin Group and Wenshan Trading, it has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't care at all who lives or dies, who wins or loses.
The next day, Zhang Wei submitted an application for a retrial of the case early on. He received a notice of approval of his application that afternoon, and the schedule for the retrial was quickly finalized. Thanks to Li Anmin's efforts, the retrial, which was originally scheduled for half a month later, was brought forward to three days later.
After receiving this news, Wu Feiyue was furious and called Li Anmin again.
This was within Li Anmin's expectations. He had already thought of a corresponding explanation. Facing Wu Feiyue's questioning, he remained calm and explained in a mumbling manner, "We could have succeeded yesterday, but Fang Yitian showed his hand at the critical moment and attracted the patrolling prison guards.
Now the opportunity has been missed. Fang Yitian is locked up in the solitary confinement cell and can't get out for a while. I can only find another way myself. Don't worry, although the case can be retried, You Tianfu will not leave the court alive. I have already arranged everything!
Hearing this answer, Wu Feiyue's anger dissipated slightly.
Although he was a little suspicious, Li Anmin usually made various excuses and procrastinated in doing things, but this time he suddenly became straightforward and efficient.
But when he thought about how his friend's talent could be properly resolved, he felt relieved, so he stopped talking and said patiently, "I'll trust you again. If there's any trouble again, don't blame me for turning my back on you!"
Li Anmin agreed without hesitation, and the smile on his face continued until he hung up the phone. He said to himself, "Haha... If you can trust me one more time, that's enough!..."
