Tearing up the agreement (1)
After Peng Wanli’s sentence came down, he went to jail at light speed.
In the past, he realized that he had suffered countless hardships in exchange for some glory in front of people. Now, he had lost all his splendor.
And because Xi Chengyun was a celebrity, after Peng Wanli separated from his wife, he often got pointing fingers from people in the prison.
As usual, he sat numbly in his seat.
How long had it been?
Other people were in prison because of some sneaky little problems, and they were more spirited, but he became more haggard. He looked as if he had aged ten years overnight.
Today was quite refreshing.
“Peng Wanli, your lawyer wants to see you.”
Peng Wanli stood up in a flash.
Could…… there be a turnaround in his case? But if he didn’t remember wrongly, his lawyer had long since finished his obligations and didn’t need to work for him now!
Holding the last glimmer of hope, Peng Wanli still went to see his lawyer.
The lawyer wore a dark suit and gold-rimmed glasses, looking well-dressed and full of elite flavor.
Peng Wanli felt like he had seen him before.
…… Oh yes, it seemed like he was a member of some rather famous team of top lawyers in the capital city!
He simply couldn’t hire such a person……
The other party didn’t talk nonsense with him.
The lawyer took his cell phone from his pocket, opened the phone, lit up the screen, and turned to him.
A video was playing on the screen.
The camera shook, then steadied.
“Hello, I’m a reporter from Today’s Fresh News, and I’m at the international airport…… Did you see that? Fang Tao, who had committed a financial crime and escaped several years ago, is about to walk off this airplane today……”
Peng Wanli looked at the screen in shock.
Fang Tao…… after running away for so many years…… has he been caught?
Peng Wanli came closer and stared at the screen.
The camera shook.
Fang Tao showed his face in an HD close-up.
But soon, he was hooded, and then a police officer came up and took him away.
Then he saw the two people he hated most in his life.
Xi Chengyun and Bai Qi slowly walked off the plane, both looking refreshed and standing side by side, their rather beautiful appearance coming together in one place, making them look very pleasing to the eye.
‘Did the Bai family think they could solve everything with Xi Chengyun?’
‘Fang Tao should have spent all his money after running away for so many years, right? What would happen even if he got caught? The Bai family still can’t go back to its glorious past!’
Peng Wanli thought through gritted teeth.
However, at this time, the lawyer moved his finger and tapped the screen to change to another video.
It was a video posted by an uploader, according to the current Hot Search.
The bullet comments opened, and as the progress bar moved forward, a screen full of “hahaha” appeared.
“Fang Tao should be prosecuted soon. The banks hate him too; he took so many loans and ran away as he pleased.”
[Hahaha, cool!]
“Oh, and the families of those victimized in the accident.”
“That project of theirs back then, it really got people’s attention. The competitors wanted a big deal from the site then and lowered the price to take this offer. Then, they took the initiative to find Fang Tao and let him mess up the project. Fang Tao already had a partnership with Bai Shan in the early years to open a company, but he was too cautious then, not investing much money, so the share of his money was not much.”
“This person, there are no limits to his greed. Fang Tao brought his brother-in-law into the company to work in finance. That person was also a bit capable and managed the financial affairs with Bai Shan’s wife, Su Meixian, who took care of everything orderly.”
“But then Bai Shan’s business became bigger. When Fang Tao listened to his brother-in-law talk about the money, he became more jealous and felt he didn’t have enough the more he listened……”
“He may have thought that God was really helping him then. Thus, he accepted 20 million in cash from the competitors, finished the move, and took advantage of Baishan’s wife’s vacation to roll up all the money. The man was ruthless in that he also kicked his own brother-in-law in the face and didn’t give a penny to the man.”
[Puke, this person is even more disgusting than Peng Wanli.]
[Don’t be. Pang Wanli is also disgusting.]
[All of them are scumbags.]
Pang Wanli’s eyelids jumped in anger when he saw his name.
“So, that’s why family-owned businesses are not acceptable. But what’s that old saying? Evil people will be punished by more evil people. He harmed so many people, hey. As a result, he went abroad for many years but couldn’t spend a single penny. After this money is investigated thoroughly without any problem, it will be returned to Bai Shan……”
[Hahahaha, I’ll eat this melon! His wife turned out to be a mixed gangster! He lives in fear every day!]
[What a satisfaction!]
When Peng Wanli saw this, his throat choked, and even his chest tightened.
Not a single penny…… was spent?
Fang Tao used so many tactics, but in the end, would all be returned to Bai Shan obediently? And all these years of hardship not only failed to bring Bai Shan down but gave him a rich son-in-law in return?
Peng Wanli hissed, “Why are you showing me this?”
He finally understood what the lawyer had come to see him for.
The lawyer just wanted to ask him to take a look at the fact that he would never see the Bai family fall again in his life. The Bai family would return to glory and perhaps even live a better life.
Peng Wanli’s chest hurt like it was going to crack.
The retribution for all those years of talking business on the table and forcing those youngsters to follow the culture of the wine table had come.
He felt a surge of blood rush to his brain, and he fell from the chair with a “bang.”
The lawyer slowly got up. “Forgive me, I only want to tell you that if you can confess to the illegal income like Fang Tao and provide the names of other illegal people, maybe you can appeal in the second trial to reduce the sentence…….”
Peng Wanli listened to his hypocritical voice getting farther away.
‘He must have been…… found by Xi Chengyun……’
‘Ha!’
‘Bai Shan, I was really not wrong back then. Your son is really worth it!’
Peng Wanli rolled his eyes and completely lost consciousness.
The lawyer slowly walked out until he was completely out of the area, and then he picked up his cell phone and made a call.
Bai Qi and Xi Chengyun stood side by side at the downstairs of a residential building.
