The next morning, Cao Mingheng found Peng Qing again and asked him to accompany him to make copies.

Cao Mingheng was afraid that the copies would be torn up by Lu Chunmin, so he made 10 copies at one time.

With these 10 copies, Cao Mingheng became obviously braver.

He was still reluctant to hand over the original contract to Peng Qing.

It was not until they were stopped on their way back that Cao Mingheng became completely panicked.

The people who stopped them were a group of thugs, who kept asking them to hand over the valuables they had.

They are two poor guys and can't afford much money.

The most valuable things in Cao Mingheng's pocket now are probably the original and copy of the contract.

These things are useless to ordinary people, but to Cao Mingheng, they are related to whether he can live a good life in the future.

So after they were surrounded, Cao Mingheng's first reaction was that he would never hand over these things.

He held his pockets tightly, and the gangsters saw him like that and thought he had money in his pockets.

The gangsters were approaching step by step, and Cao Mingheng suddenly became anxious.

At the critical moment, Peng Qing stood in front of Cao Mingheng.

"Brother Cao, you have important documents on you. I will protect you from this matter. You should run away first."

Cao Mingheng hesitated, and Peng Qing pushed him from behind.

Cao Mingheng finally escaped with the money in his pocket under the protection of Peng Qing.

Shortly after he left, Peng Qing gave an order and the gangsters dispersed.

Peng Qing cut himself a little and punched him in the corner of the eye.

This looks very tragic, with the eyes swollen.

Peng Qing had previously agreed on a meeting place with Cao Mingheng.

Peng Qing rushed to the place and saw Cao Mingheng waiting for him.

Peng Qing immediately focused on walking with a limp.

He also smeared some on his face, making him look very disheveled.

Peng Qing limped and trotted to Cao Mingheng.

When he came over, he didn't talk about his injuries or the battle just now, but looked at Cao Mingheng with concern.

"Brother Cao, are you okay? Are all your things still there?"

"Don't worry, everything is here."

Cao Mingheng patted his pockets and refused to take out the original contract.

Peng Qing was getting a little anxious. He thought that if Cao Mingheng refused to hand it over voluntarily, he would have to do it himself.

Fortunately, after what happened just now, Cao Mingheng trusted him a little more.

After a while, Cao Mingheng quickly took out the original contract from his pocket and stuffed it into Peng Qing's hand.

"Brother, you should know that this thing is very important to me. Now I'm giving it to you for safekeeping. You must help me keep it well. This is something that can save my life!"

Cao Mingheng emphasized again and again that it was difficult for him to hand over everything that could save his life.

Peng Qing said that the original contract was put into the inner pocket of his clothes, and he nodded solemnly.

"I will. As long as I have the original contract, it's there. If it's gone, it means I, Peng Qing, must be dead."

Peng Qing's words were very serious, and Cao Mingheng trusted him more and more.

Peng Qing wanted to personally take Cao Mingheng to work, but Cao Mingheng was afraid that his identity would be exposed, so he refused to agree.

After Cao Mingheng left, Peng Qing looked at his back, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, with a faint smile on his face.

After Cao Mingheng walked away, Peng Qing went to the nearby public telephone booth without saying a word.

Things finally made some progress here, and he finally had the nerve to report the situation to Ye Qingtao.

Peng Qing dialed Ye Qingtao's home phone, and his heart was in his throat while he was waiting for the call to be answered.

Peng Qing held the receiver tightly, his facial expression distorted with excitement.

When Peng Qing called, Ye Qingtao was still in the hospital taking care of Gu Jingming, so she couldn't answer the call.

In the empty house, the phone kept ringing.

Peng Qing called again and again, but no one answered the phone.

Peng Qing went from being irritable at the beginning to gradually calming down.

Peng Qing didn't even know what was going on.

He just wanted to call Ye Qingtao to report, but no one answered the call.

He didn't know what had happened to Ye Qingtao, and he felt a little uneasy.

Peng Qing did not give up, but chose the evening to make another call.

This time, no one answered the call, and Peng Qing realized that Ye Qingtao might not be at home.

Now there is no one to discuss this matter with him, and he has to make all the choices by himself.

Peng Qing was originally a man with his own opinions, but this matter was of great importance, so he had to discuss it with Ye Qingtao.

This is his respect for her!

Since the call couldn't go through, I had no choice but to walk on my own.

Peng Qing has already obtained evidence to sanction Lu Chunmin.

He could have submitted it directly to the Public Security Bureau, but he felt it was not appropriate to submit it himself.

After much thought, he decided to find Ye Qingtao's parents.

Ye Yongjin is the ultimate victim in this matter, and his identity is special, as he is Ye Qingtao's father.

It would be best to discuss the whole matter with him.

Peng Qing arrived at the provincial capital that night and went straight to Ye Qingtao's home.

Peng Qing knocked on the gate of the courtyard, but there was no response from inside the house after he knocked for a long time.

Peng Qing knew that Ye Qingtao's parents were very cautious, and because they lived in the provincial capital and had no acquaintances, they usually would not open the door when they heard a knock.

Through a door, Peng Qing directly stated his intentions.

"Hello, uncle and aunt, I'm Peng Qing, and I'm here to discuss something with Ye Qingtao. I know you're at home, could you please open the door?"

After Peng Qing finished speaking, he continued to wait quietly.

There was still no movement in the room, but from the window I could see that the lights were on.

Elderly people are generally very frugal and usually don’t turn on the lights when no one is at home.

Judging from the light, there must be someone at home.

Peng Qing continued speaking patiently.

"I know you're worried that I'm a liar, but I do have something important to say this time."

"I know that my uncle lost his job because of Lu Chunmin, and even his leg was injured. I have obtained the evidence that Lu Chunmin framed you. This time I will discuss this with you."

What Peng Qing said was all based on facts, and it quickly aroused Zhu Guihua's curiosity.

Even Ye Yongjin, who was usually taciturn, was attracted.

The couple looked at each other and decided to trust each other for once.

Ye Yongjin held the stick in his hand, and Zhu Guihua opened the door a crack.

The two men were very alert, and Peng Qing did not squeeze in immediately after the door opened.

He pulled a neatly folded document from his pocket and placed it where the door was open, then took a few steps back.
