Chapter 402: Chapter 289: Dispute!
A sinister glint flashed in Li Yang’s shadowy eyes as he gestured at his neck, making a slicing motion.
In Hanhai City, when faced with such situations, there are many things you need to consider, like the background of the lawyer and what to do if the case is lost.
But in Zhengyang City, there are fewer worries.
"Kill him!"
"Kill him, end it once and for all, it’s just adding one more life to the count!"
Li Yang said sinisterly.
These days, bandits and highway robbers are numerous in Zhengyang City. Just find some robbers to block the road, and by the time the person is dead, throw them into the deep mountains or a mine, and even the king of heaven wouldn’t find them!
This is how they’ve handled things in the past, and six months at most, the bodies would be gnawed by wild dogs until only white bones remain.
One could say that his method, though aggressive and daring to the extreme, but...
Zhu Haoyi carefully considered it for a moment.
"It’s inappropriate."
Zhu Haoyi shook his head and started to refute.
"It’s not just one person, there are two women and one man with him, a total of four people including him."
"If four people disappear out of thin air... once Lanshan Province starts investigating, above can’t protect us."
They have backing.
It’s even different from Xu Liang’s emotional background; they have a more tightly knit interest-based background!
That’s why Li Yang dared to talk about killing Xu Liang, even if others come to hold accountable... there’re others to shield them.
Still, as it was said, Lin Fuqiang is from Lanshan Province, no matter how high his position, no matter how big his authority, he can only control Lanshan Province, but here is Zhengyang City, Nanhai Province!
The most crucial thing is...
"That girl is not simple, don’t forget her background."
Zhu Haoyi took out a cigarette and slowly started smoking.
Upon hearing this, Li Yang paused slightly, only then remembering that the other party was not just connected to Xu Liang.
That girl named Yang Ruoxi, her father is also in the Supreme Court and holds a high position, if she disappears, it may pose some trouble for themselves.
"Also, remember our identity!"
Zhu Haoyi took a deep breath, looking deeply into Li Yang’s eyes.
His lips moved, and a voice slowly rang out.
"If anyone comes to investigate and things are exposed... we’re all done for!"
"Unless absolutely necessary, don’t touch those people for now."
Under the Run Dong Weaving Plant, there’s a mine, this mine is different from others, though it’s considered rare, when it comes to making money, it really doesn’t compare to other mines.
But... targeting a mine, the most valuable part may not be the mine itself!
Yet if you want to handle this aspect... once found out, even a suspended death sentence would be light!
Li Yang seemed to wake up from a dream, only then realizing his and the other party’s identities, nodding immediately.
"Alright."
"But... just let the other party investigate like this?"
Li Yang was unwilling, though he knew his identity was special... yet the investigation by Xu Liang is far more daunting than investigations from above!
Those sent from above conduct special investigations, and the progress is transparent.
But Xu Liang... through his whole legal career, you never know when something will be exposed, once you let down your guard, you’re definitely the one who dies...
"Don’t worry."
Zhu Haoyi showed a slight smile.
"This is Zhengyang City..."
"He can’t file the case!"
...
"First go file the case."
Yangshan Gully, inside Run Dong Weaving Plant.
After much consideration, Xu Liang finally decided that he should go file the case first.
Ordinary cases, if you want to file them as criminal cases, often do not require the cooperation of lawyers and family members.
The police and the prosecutor’s office will do it for you, but this case....
"The ’Notice of Non-acceptance’ hasn’t come down yet, let’s take a trip to the police station."
Raising his head, Xu Liang looked around and spoke to the others, and Yang Ruoxi and the others pondered for a long time before nodding, deciding to try.
A policeman came by just now, but his attitude was not good.
They didn’t even take the corpse away, completely disregarding the proper procedure!
Is it just his personal attitude? Or is it... just the way it is throughout Zhengyang City?
Xu Liang didn’t know, but at least he could try with the current scenario!
"Mr. Liu, is there a funeral home nearby?"
Just before setting off, Xu Liang stopped Liu Jinshui, looking at the corpse lying on the ground, covered with a white cloth, he couldn’t help but speak:
"It’s already mid-to-late June now, the temperature is very high, if the body is left like this...."
It will decompose quickly!
Though most clues have been photographed, photos can never substitute for an autopsy report!
"This...."
Liu Jinshui hesitated slightly, just about to nod when Xu Liang pulled out his wallet.
"Crack!"
A stack of banknotes was pulled from his wallet and handed over to the other party.
"Mr. Liu, please tidy up Zhang Shan’s body and then store it in the funeral home, there’s a morgue there, and the body’s decomposition will be contained."
"As for the remaining money... first solve the food issue."
Xu Liang instructed him.
Due to a sharp decline in orders, Run Dong Weaving Plant almost had no money and naturally began to run out of food, living in penury.
Xu Liang had a hunch that the upcoming things might be troublesome, and if you can’t eat well while running around... Liu Jinshui might be exhausted to death!
"This..."
Liu Jinshui was emotionally moved, his eyes slightly reddened.
But Xu Liang wasn’t interested in these sentimental dramas.
"I’ll go and file the case first, contact me via landline if something comes up, here’s my private number."
After leaving a card with his number, he turned away and got into the car.
He gently pressed on the gas pedal, and soon the four tires started turning.
"Vroom~!"
The engine roared, kicking up dust, and before long, Xu Liang and the others disappeared from view.
Liu Jinshui’s lips moved for a long time, and finally, clutching the money, he began to organize Zhang Shan’s affairs.
As he looked at the corpse, a surge of bitterness suddenly lingered at the tip of his nose.
When Zhang Shan was unwilling to sell the factory, he and the other party had already anticipated the outcome, especially after his own hand was chopped off, he knew that Zhu Haoyi’s ruthless men dared to kill.
He thought that even if Zhang Shan died, he could prepare in advance to feel less sorrowful.
But when it truly came to this...
Liu Jinshui suddenly took a deep breath, his eyes bloodshot, he looked up and kept blinking, rubbing his face with his only remaining hand as if to swallow that bitterness down.
He found someone to lift Zhang Shan’s body, and slowly headed in the direction of the funeral home.
"Old Zhang, oh Old Zhang... I can’t let you die in vain...."
...
On the highway.
The car sped along the road, Xu Liang kept shifting gears to overtake other vehicles.
During the drive, Xu Liang also opened his mouth to remind them.
"Be careful these days, Zhengyang Mining Company likely has some connections with the police station."
"The local customs here are aggressive, they might turn desperate and try to hit us!"
The environment affects individuals, in this godforsaken place of Zhengyang City, the first reaction to trouble is to illegally kill to resolve the issue, it’s hard to say they won’t target Xu Liang and the others.
As for whether they dare...
Let’s put it this way.
Back then, those dining in the restaurant also thought the other party didn’t dare, but suddenly they set the place on fire!
It’s against common sense, but that’s the fact, even saying that the local customs there are more aggressive than Zhengyang City!
"Alright, don’t worry, I won’t run around recklessly."
Yang Ruoxi said.
Su Yu thought of Liu Jinshui and suspiciously asked, "Will they target Liu Jinshui? After all, Zhang Shan is dead..."
"No, what they want is the piece of land under the factory, Zhang Shan likely was forced to sign the contract before he died, so there’s no need to kill the people of the factory, and besides, they can’t kill them all."
Xu Liang shook his head and said.
The three discussed normally, until...
"Should we make the first move?"
Sun Zhongmin suddenly had a fierce gleam in his eyes, a surge of anger filled his heart.
"How about I go and slaughter their whole family tonight!?"
"As long as they are exterminated, there will be no more danger!"
Xu Liang: ?
"Screech~!"
A sharp braking sound rang out.
The people in the car were jolted violently, stumbling.
Xu Liang turned back, looking at Sun Zhongmin, wanting to say something but stopping.
Is this really a security guard....
"Don’t always shout about killing and fighting." Xu Liang said, easing the atmosphere, "Think more about the people around you."
"Don’t worry, Lawyer Xu, after I kill them, I’ll immediately turn myself in, I won’t involve anyone else!" Sun Zhongmin was still pondering how to kill Zhu Haoyi and Li Yang.
Their faces were already deeply etched in his mind!
But...
"That’s not what I meant..."
Xu Liang was helpless, knowing he couldn’t change the other’s mind, he decisively changed the subject.
"Get out, we’ve arrived!"
After saying this, he was the first to unbuckle the seatbelt.
Then "pop" he pushed the door open.
Hearing this commotion, everyone turned to look at the building outside the window, only then realizing they had arrived at Zhengyang City Police Bureau.
Though Zhengyang City hasn’t developed well, filled with heavy industry everywhere.
There’s scarcely any tech keeping up with the times, like the internet, but...
There’s money!
Zhengyang City has plenty of money, so the police bureau was built impressively and grandly, at a glance it looked like a municipal building!
Xu Liang parked the car in the parking space, then led the group through the corridor, heading inside the building.
Before long they reached the entrance.
"Screech~"
The door opened, cold air suddenly rushed in.
"Hello, I want to file a report."
Xu Liang looked around, finally walking to the front office area, in front of a policewoman chatting with a colleague.
As he approached, he heard the other’s whispering:
"What should we eat later?"
"I don’t know, let’s see what the cafeteria has to eat first..."
"By the way, do you remember there was a mine collapse yesterday? Not more nor less, exactly two people died, one missing...."
"Which mine? I haven’t heard of it...."
"..."
Their voices accompanied by laughter sounded.
Xu Liang paused, reached out, and knocked on the cabinet in front of him.
"Knock knock knock!"
"I want to file a report."
The people in front were still chatting, ignoring him completely.
Xu Liang suddenly felt a surge of anger, this sort of conduct would have gotten someone fired multiple times already back in Hanhai City!
"Bang bang bang!!!"
He knocked on the glass in front of him forcefully, making a deafening noise.
The people inside the desk clearly jumped in fright at the sound, immediately casting a hostile glance at Xu Liang.
"What are you knocking for?"
"This is a police station, you think it’s your own home!!?"
A voice full of anger came from the other side, they sounded very displeased.
Xu Liang couldn’t be bothered arguing with her in such a place, he just took a deep breath and said:
"I said... I want to file a report!"
