Chapter 1 Chaos KTV

  Zhang Ziqiang knew that as long as he brought out this killer move, Gao Longsheng would thoroughly admit defeat. It wasn't that he was ungrateful, it's just that Yi Jun had a tight grip on him.

  But Gao Longsheng would not suspect that Zhang Ziyang was messing around. Because although the mastermind of the murder was him, Gao Longsheng, Zhang Ziyang was an accomplice. One step back, even if he wasn't considered an accomplice, just helping him cover up and sharing 10 million in black money would be enough to put Zhang Ziyang behind bars for good.

  The two are like ants on a rope, how could Gao Longsheng suspect that his brother Zhang Ziqiang is playing tricks?

  But in the face of cruel reality and interests, not to mention brothers, even one's own father can be sold out. Let alone others, if Gao Wei were in Zhang Ziqiang's position, this beast might have even fooled Gao Longsheng.

  Zhang Ziqiang's performance was convincing, with a deep and gloomy tone accompanied by some unease: "Actually, his request was simple. He just said that as long as Lin Yashi wasn't told, the matter would be settled. I mean, what's wrong with this kid's brain? He clearly has such a crucial clue in hand, yet he only asks for something so trivial?"

  What was originally an irreconcilable matter has now become "a tiny little thing".

  Compared with his own life, Gao Long felt that letting Lin Yashi go was indeed "a small matter". The importance of things is relative.

  Gao Longsheng felt a bit apprehensive and asked: "Then he won't be extorting something from us endlessly in the future, will he?"

  "It shouldn't be, I see him speaking still with some human likeness, it's that kind of Jianghu aura. However," Zhang Ziqiang said with a bitter smile, "even if we extort something again, what can we do?"

  Gao Longsheng was furious and couldn't help but say, "This little bastard is really something! He's made me lose face again! But if we let Lin Yashi go without even farting, then what's the point of us being here in Jiangning? Where can we put our faces, including Comrade Fa Hong's?"

  Not calling him "Secretary Huang", but only referring to him as "Secretary Fa Hong", naturally made him seem more approachable. This subtle nuance made Zhang Ziqiang feel a bit uncomfortable. He thought back to when he was the intermediary between Gao Longsheng and the officials, but now he wasn't needed anymore. Under this small sense of loss, Zhang Ziqiang became even harsher - towards his own brother. Originally, he had planned to mediate and ask the court to sentence Lin Yashi to two years. But now...?

  "Uh-huh, can't just do nothing about it!" Zhang Ziqiang sighed, "In my opinion, find a way to save face. Otherwise, make a call to the court and sentence Lin Yashi to one year? As for Secretary Huang, he'll just lose some face at the engagement banquet, not too much damage. And by doing so, it will show that he is an honest official who doesn't bend the rules for personal gain, Secretary Huang won't oppose it."

  "Only one year?!" Gao Longsheng was so angry that his roots were numb, "It's also too cheap for that crazy woman!"

  "Dragon, be careful!" Zhang Ziqiang slightly raised his voice. "If this gets out, I'll be thrown into prison at best, but you, Dragon... it's unthinkable! Weighing the pros and cons, we must endure!"

  Nothing is unthinkable, it's just a bullet hole on Gao Longsheng's forehead.

  Gao Longsheng shuddered all over and didn't dare continue.

  As a brother, Zhang Ziqiang is not very reliable. But circumstances forced him to be like this, after all, they are just brothers!

  ……

  As for Yi Jun, after returning to Jiaolian KTV, he found Lin Yashi's mother and aunt. At this time, Lin Yashi's two uncles also came, and the five people were anxious. The two uncles may not be worried about how Lin Yashi is doing, but they need to spend money! Poor people want to sue? That's a bottomless pit of throwing money away. Although the two uncles won't help as resolutely as the two aunts, they won't really sell their pots and pans, but each family has to contribute some "blood" - after all, Lin Yashi is an orphan with no father.

  "How was it? How was it?" Seeing Yi Jun return, Lin's mother couldn't help but ask, her voice trembling with fear that Yi Jun would say the words "it can't be done".

  At this time, Yi Jun had already made a basic judgment about Zhang Ziqiang's attitude. He comforted Lin's mother, saying: "Auntie, don't worry, I'll go and make some arrangements over there, and I estimate that there won't be too many problems. Three years of imprisonment is probably the maximum. If we're lucky, I'll try to negotiate further to see if we can get a lighter sentence. Also, we need to focus on the forensic examination to see if we can determine that it's a minor injury rather than a serious one. Once it's determined as a minor injury, three years will be the maximum sentence."

  "Bodhisattva bless! Bodhisattva bless!" Lin Mu was so excited that her hands were shaking, because this was already the best result she could hope for.

  Only two other couples thought that Yi Jun, this young man, really had some ability. A person in Jiangning can actually handle such an astonishing case. Although Lin Yashi's two uncles did not know the depth of the situation, they generally knew the severity of the punishment for severe injuries and the power of the Municipal Law Committee Secretary.

  Of course, they also look at Yi Jun with a different gaze. They are also ordinary wage earners who cannot touch higher circles and can only maintain reverence while looking up to him.

  Lin Yashi's uncle-in-law asked tentatively, "Yi Jun, if it's like this, how much money do you think we'll need to spend? The court and forensic examination will definitely require some expenses. We trust you, so give us a number."

  It's easy to talk big, but in fact, they are really afraid that Yi Jun will come up with a few hundred thousand sky-high numbers - for them, it is indeed astronomical figures.

  Yi Jun waved his hand and said: "Don't worry about the money, it won't cost much to grease some palms. If we really need to use money, I still have some on hand."

  Does it cost money? If such a thing still needs to be done with money, then it can't be done at all. Only if not a single penny is spent, then it might be possible to get it done. At most, just go through the motions in court, slip them a few thousand yuan, and that's it.

  But in the eyes of the five members of the Lin family, this is simply too extravagant, and Yi Jun is also too rich! If they had welcomed such a son-in-law from the beginning, the Lin family would have lived a good life!

  Five people still wanted to be polite to Yi Jun, but Yi Jun said it was not necessary and added: "I've made arrangements with the public security side, you go visit Yashi this afternoon and advise her not to be so impulsive, lest something unexpected happens during the trial."

  "Definitely, definitely!" Lin's mother was naturally most afraid of causing trouble outside the festival, and she gritted her teeth in anger, saying, "If this girl is still so willful, I'll pinch her mouth to pieces! However... Yi Jun, are you going or not?"

  Lin Yashi's aunt immediately said: "Yi Jun you must go, otherwise we several people also dare not go to the Public Security Bureau, that place is too scary."

  Go? Directly face Lin Ya Shi?

  Nor does he know what kind of performance Lin Yashi, the woman who once despised and betrayed Yi Jun, would put on if they really met in prison.

  Embarrassed? Anxious? Ashamed? Or Regretful?
