Yiran Real Estate was not well-known throughout the country, but it was very famous in the northeast area. Its offices and projects, large and small, covered almost every city and county in this area.
In the past few years, Yiran Real Estate had grown rapidly and became a real estate company known to every household in the northeast. However, because of its overbearing way of doing things, the company had incurred the wrath and was the target of hate by many locals.
Some people had filed reports with the police, and some had exposed the dirty deeds done by Yiran Real Estate on the Internet. However, Yiran Real Estate managed to quell each incident from the very start.
But this time, things were different. When Zhang Yiran was still in custody, a great deal of disturbances erupted suddenly and a great many pernicious cases about Yiran Real Estate were posted online overnight.
With a series of vicious incidents being exposed, Yiran Real Estate soon attracted the attention of countless netizens.
It soon became one of the top ten most searched hashtags on web search engines. In just a few hours, the search index reached more than 400,000.
While browsing through those vicious acts that Yiran Real Estate had committed, the netizens were ablaze with anger.
“Fuck, they have absolutely no respect for the law!”
“How many people have been killed?”
“Forget forced demolitions, but how dare they hit and injure people? We are a lawful society, isn’t it? Did I get this wrong?”
“Oh my God, to think a woman who is merely in her thirties has done so many disgusting things!”
“I’m so scared. Fortunately, I don’t live in the northeast region. Otherwise, I might have lost an arm or a leg.”
“To be honest, I admire this woman. She has had the smarts to make a distinguished career for herself, but the way she handled affairs is utterly ruthless.”
“Such a rampant bastard should be arrested and spend the rest of her life in prison!”
All kinds of indignant comments broke out on the Internet.
Many people began to vent their anger.
Anger for justice filled every netizen’s mind. The local agencies immediately formed a research team and began to make a thorough investigation of the Yiran Real Estate!
In the past, many people had reported the cases related to the Yiran Real Estate to the police before. Therefore, Yiran Real Estate soon became the focus of the public government this time.
For Yiran Real Estate, a devastating storm was approaching!
Zhang Yiran had been detained for questioning. Before the senior executives of Yiran Real Estate could come up with any emergency measures, the police came to them and they were ordered to cooperate with the investigation.
For a time, anti-corruption campaigns swept through the whole northeastern region!
Without a doubt, such news would reach the ears of Zhang Yiran’s lawyer.
Right upon receiving the news, he came to the police station.
“Something big has happened.”
As soon as he saw Zhang Yiran, the lawyer said nervously, “I don’t know why, but all kinds of criminal activities done by Yiran Real Estate have been leaked out on the Internet, which provoked a storm of angry responses from netizens. Under pressure from the public, local governmental agencies quickly set up an investigation team to inspect Yiran Real Estate thoroughly!”
“What?”
Zhang Yiran had been waiting for the lawyer to get everything done and get her out of the police station. After hearing the latest news, she suddenly turned pale.
Only she knew what she had done.
In the past, she did not have to worry about it. No one would investigate her in the northeast area because nobody dared to do so.
But things were utterly different now.
The matter caused an uproar.
Since the local government had set up an inquiry team, it was inevitable that more people would be sent to deal with this matter. In this case, she could no longer hide the nasty deeds she had done.
Once they dug out the past misdeeds, she would be doomed!
“It’s over. It’s all over…”
Zhang Yiran’s face turned ashen and her spirits visibly deflated in a fit of desperation.
…
At Ling Zhenhua’s home, Fang Qiu checked the child and confirmed she had recovered. After telling Ling Zhenhua and his wife that they didn’t need to worry about their daughter’s illness, he walked out of the house, took out his phone, and called Li Ji.
“Hello?”
Li Ji immediately answered the call from John Doe in a very formal manner, though he usually talked to Fang Qiu in a more relaxed way. “What’s the matter?”
“A small matter.”
Fang Qiu said, “I’m in the northeast region.”
“Yiran Real Estate?”
When Li Ji heard this, he immediately knew that something was wrong.
Yiran Real Estate had developed into such a large real estate company, and for many years, no one ever dared to provoke it. How could it collapse out of the blue?
“Right.”
Fang Qiu nodded and said, “She hit my brother’s child and caused her to lapse into a vegetative state, though the child is all right now. I have asked someone to check it out. This real estate company must have done many heinous crimes that has not been exposed yet. I’m not asking you to help us get revenge. I just want to shorten the process and file a complaint through you.”
“I understand.”
Li Ji smiled and said, “Don’t worry. We’ll handle it according to the law and find all the evidence of the crimes committed by Yiran Real Estate.”
“Okay, thank you.”
Fang Qiu thanked him.
Once he hung up, Li Ji immediately began to deal with this matter.
Soon, the capital dispatched some people to investigate into the affairs of Yiran Real Estate in the northeast area!
The higher-ups had ordered them to carry out a thorough investigation.
All the vicious deeds that Yiran Real Estate had done were dug out with substantial evidence. Most importantly, they also found out that this real estate company had been evading tax payments and also owed a lot of money to the banks.
As the chairman of Yiran Real Estate, Zhang Yiran, who was the accused, would face criminal charges and a jail sentence!
Her detention period was not over yet.
However, some people from the provincial agency took her away.
Thinking of the cause of her downfall, she was suddenly seized with remorse.
She could only blame herself for being too young and naive. Finally, she understood why the richer a person became, the lesser self-restraint he would have.
If she had been more cautious and self-restrained like the other rich people, her life would not be ruined all because of a slap.
Moreover, when He Gaoming and his brothers looked for her for the first time, she should have immediately taken the money to the hospital, apologized to Ling Zhenhua and his family and paid for the medical expenses. Fang Qiu might still come to treat the child, but he would never target her with such viciousness.
A person truly reaps what he sows!
Now that Zhang Yiran had been detained for trial, the matter came to an end for Ling Zhenhua and others.
Though Ling Zhenhua didn’t get any compensation, he successfully avenged himself, his ex-wife, and his child.
“This woman should be sentenced to life imprisonment!”
“I’ve never seen such a shameless woman. She deserves to stay in prison.”
“Now I feel completely at ease. Whenever I see this woman, I feel a great compulsion to go over and give her a few slaps. Now, this matter is settled. She has been caught, and I’m all right and I don’t feel bad anymore. We are all fine, ha-ha.”
At Ling Zhenhua’s place, the brothers were all talking and smiling.
“Well, it’s over, and it’s time for us to go.”
Ling Zhenhua’s daughter could get off the bed and walk around and was as healthy as other little girls. Fang Qiu looked at her with a smile and called Ling Zhenhua over. Then he took a bank card out of his trouser pocket and handed it to Ling Zhenhua, saying, “This card has one million Huaxia dollars. Take it.”
“Ah?”
Ling Zhenhua was stunned, then he hurriedly waved his hand and said, “No, I can’t take it.”
“Don’t do that. I want you to take it.”
Fang Qiu said firmly.
“The oldest, I really can’t accept it. How can I take your money?”
Ling Zhenhua refused this offer resolutely.
“We’re brothers. Take it.”
Without any more argument, Fang Qiu thrust the bank card into Ling Zhenhua’s hands and said, “I didn’t know about your family situation. If I hadn’t come here, I wouldn’t have been aware of it. The money is not for you, but for you to support your family!”
Ling Zhenhua still wanted to return the bank card but was stopped by Fang Qiu’s glare. Quickly, he withdrew his hands and no longer dared to give the card back, for fear that Fang Qiu would be angry.
“Good.”
Seeing that Ling Zhenhua accepted the card. Fang Qiu reached out, patted him on the shoulder, and said, “Take good care of your family.”
After that, he turned around and left.
“Bro, take a rest for a while.”
He Gaoming also came forward and said, “The boss gave you leave for you to settle down with your family and have a good rest. When you are ready, you can come to us. But if you want to do some small business and choose not to come back, we will still treat you as our brother. If there is anything, call us. We will show up to help as soon as possible!”
Everyone nodded in agreement. One by one, they stepped forward to reassure Ling Zhenhua.
In their hearts, these brothers held John Doe in the highest esteem, even more than before.
Everyone had witnessed what John Doe had done for Ling Zhenhua, and they all felt they followed the right boss!
After saying goodbye to everyone, Ling Zhenhua took the money from Fang Qiu to arrange for a place to settle his wife and daughter.
In the meantime, Fang Qiu directly led He Gaoming and the others to the Peace Faction, where the old man behind Zhang Yiran was located.
The issue regarding Zhang Yiran had come to an end.
But…
They were not done with the elder yet.
Anyone who hurt any of the brothers would never get away with it!
According to He Gaoming’s investigations, the Peace Faction was located on an unknown mountain 35 kilometers northeast of Anlin City.
Qingyang County was directly affiliated to Anlin City!
Therefore, it wasn’t far from Ling Zhenhua’s home to the Peace Faction.
They didn’t get any cars.
Using their phone navigation tool, they found that the distance between Qingyang County and the Peace Faction was only about 30 kilometers. Thus, Fang Qiu led the others straight out of the city. After entering the woods, they advanced to the Peace Faction at full speed.
The pealing of a bell suddenly rang out on a mountain covered in lush green vegetation.
The sound came from the faction that occupied a vast field on the top of the mountain.
That was where the Peace Faction was located!
In the faction, the elder Ma Chunyu, who had just returned, was sitting in the hall, facing a middle-aged man with white hair and a youthful face. Ma Chunyu hesitated before saying anything as if he didn’t dare to bring up the subject.
“Elder Ma, if you have something to say, say it. You have been fumbling helplessly for words since you asked me to come over. Surely you don’t intend to let me sit here all day and wait for you, right?” the middle-aged man said.
“Then, then I’ll tell you the truth.”
Ma Chunyu glanced at him, gritted his teeth with determination, and said, “I’m in trouble.”
“Hmm?”
The middle-aged man was stunned and asked, “What trouble did you get into?”
“I… I provoked John Doe.”
