Chapter 156 Fu Jinzhou looks like a scoundrel
"It's not the first day you've been crazy. You've already seen the jokes you need to see. You used to be like a fighting cock, never admitting defeat. You didn't give up even when Shao Ting'an and I were married. Why are you a coward now?"
"Honestly, it's the way you are right now that makes me laugh. If you were really crazy, I'd laugh and feel a little sorry for you, but what's happening now? You're acting crazy and stupid, and you're afraid to face reality. I'm afraid I'll laugh every time I think of you in the future."
Liu Hongmei suddenly stood up, "Stop talking!"
Su Li knew that she was in pain, but things had come to this point and she had to face it no matter how painful it was.
"Liu Hongmei, Shao Ting'an used you to cause Zhao Xinran's miscarriage. After the incident, he used this as an excuse to send you to Fushan County and arranged for someone to abuse you. Don't you want to understand this whole series of events?"
"Show off your old arrogance. You're a victim, not a perpetrator. Even if people find out, what's the big deal?"
"You can pretend for a while, but can you pretend forever? Would you rather pretend to be crazy and hide in this little room than fight for yourself? Could things get any worse than your current situation?"
Faced with Su Li's series of questions, Liu Hongmei squatted on the ground with her face covered and burst into tears. How could she accept that the man she had always liked wanted to kill her?
"Hongmei, you're not the only one hurt. Shao Ting'an and I have been together for ten years, but some things can't be left ambiguous. The price of ambiguity may be something we can't imagine. We must learn to let go, and more importantly, learn to protect ourselves!"
Li Hongmei looked at Su Li in confusion. She didn't understand what price Su Li was talking about?
Seeing her puzzled, Su Li patiently explained, "You can't pretend to be crazy forever. If you wake up and Shao Ting'an is released from the detention center, what will he do? He definitely won't want you anyway, because there's Zhao Xinran, and the entanglement between them is deeper than yours."
Liu Hongmei looked at Su Li with tears in her eyes, her voice trembling: "I'm already... already like this, who will still believe me? Others will only laugh at me."
Su Li's eyes were firm as she asked back, "Can you really pretend forever?"
"Actually, I've already found the witnesses. Shao Ting'an's crimes will be exposed even without your testimony. But I hope you can come forward for your own sake and to expedite the case. Shao Ting'an will definitely pay the price for his actions."
Su Li's words quickly dissipated the hesitation in Liu Hongmei's eyes, and a glimmer of light suddenly appeared.
She wiped away her tears and took a deep breath. Although her voice was still trembling, it was no longer weak: "I want to see Qi Dayong. If it's true, I will make Shao Tingan pay the price!"
The corners of Su Li's mouth rose slightly, revealing a relieved smile.
Liu Hongmei finally decided to come out of her fear and pain and prepare to face reality.
Although Su Li hated her, she hadn't reached the point of a life-and-death struggle. She had already paid the price. After this ordeal, she hoped that all the grudges could be put to rest.
“I’ll let you see it tonight.
"Thanks!"
Su Li was quite surprised that Liu Hongmei could say this. After all, the two of them had been at odds for so many years, and she had never had a good face when she saw her, let alone thank her.
Su Li smiled slightly, speaking lightly, "No need to thank me, we are all victims. Only by uniting together can we make those who hurt us pay the price. Besides, I am not used to the way you are now."
Liu Hongmei understood the implication of Su Li's words. She smiled bitterly and tears rolled down her eyes again, but this time, her expression was no longer one of helplessness and fear, but one of relief and determination.
"If it's really as you said, I will stand up and expose Shao Ting'an's true face." Liu Hongmei's voice became more confident.
…
The next morning, Fu Jinzhou took Kang Ping straight to the food factory.
Fu Jinzhou's face was grim, and his steps were firm. Kang Ping followed closely behind him, and the two of them walked straight to the factory director's office.
Factory director Jia Lijun was sitting behind his desk, holding a report in his hand with a frown on his face.
Hearing the door being pushed open, he looked up and saw Fu Jinzhou and Kang Ping, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, "Who are you?"
Jia Lijun stood up, a hint of caution in his tone.
Fu Jinzhou didn't waste any time and walked straight to the desk, sat down opposite him, and stared at Jia Lijun with sharp eyes.
"Director Jia, let's get straight to the point. How much did you pay Shao Baoguo for approval of the food factory's land two years ago?"
Jia Lijun looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes flickering. "What do you mean? Why should I give money to Director Shao?"
Fu Jinzhou sneered, his tone carrying a hint of oppression: "Director Jia, I won't come to you without evidence. Please cooperate and let's get along peacefully. Otherwise..."
Fu Jinzhou looked nonchalant and raised his hand to gesture to Kang Ping.
Kang Ping took a knife and stabbed it directly into Director Jia's desk.
Jia Lijun's forehead was covered in sweat. He subconsciously wiped his forehead and said in a panic, "Where did you hear that? It's not true. Absolutely not true!"
Fu Jinzhou's eyes became sharper, and his tone was casual: "It seems that you are looking for something to suffer."
As soon as he finished speaking, Kang Ping stepped forward, drew his sword, and slowly placed the blade against his face.
Jia Lijun's body trembled slightly, knowing that he had no way to retreat.
He took a deep breath, his voice low and weak, "I... I admit that I did give Shao Baoguo 20,000 yuan back then. But I had no choice. We had all the necessary documents, but he used his position to block our approval. I also heard from others that he can get things done easily if he has money. I... I have no choice!"
Fu Jinzhou's mouth corners lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile. Before, they had only heard about it but had no actual evidence. Now that Jia Lijun could say it himself, it made their trip worthwhile.
"Director Jia, don't worry. If it's really as you said, and your documents are complete but he's deliberately making things difficult for you, then you can only be considered forced into bribery. If you can find other evidence and expose the case, perhaps your merits can be offset."
Jia Lijun's fear faded instantly when he heard him say this. "You have a grudge against Shao Baoguo, right? If you can really bring this scoundrel down, I'm willing to help. He was giving me a lot of trouble back then. My factory was already short of funds, and giving him 20,000 yuan was heartbreaking. The factory didn't recover for a year."
Kang Ping angrily said, "The termite will die sooner or later, and it will be a miserable death!"
Pingjiang Machinery Factory.
The termite Shao Baoguo stood at the door, holding the bulging handbag tightly in his hand.
His face was gloomy and his eyes were full of reluctance.
But I also know that no matter how reluctant I am, I have to send him away. I can't choose money over my son.
Finally, I gritted my teeth and walked into the machinery factory.
At the workshop door, Su Mingde came out and blocked his way when he saw him.
"Have you submitted the clarification documents?"
"Don't worry, it's already been submitted. I won't joke with my son."
"I don't think you'd dare."
Su Mingde glanced at the handbag he was holding, knew what was inside, and turned away with disdain.
