Chapter 293: E Lao's Despair
E Lao stared in shock at the two burly men who suddenly appeared before him, his voice stiff:
"Who are you?"
Wang Jianjun looked at him, puzzled:
"Didn't you tell Uncle Liang that you killed Tsukamoto Do?"
E Lao turned and ran.
However, with his rotund body, he might roll away faster than two people could chase him, but running with his short legs, how could he outrun them?
He hadn't run two steps before Wang Jianjun's large hand grabbed E Lao's clothes.
E Lao had no choice but to stop, turning back with a mournful face:
"Two Big Boss, you must have the wrong person."
"I saw the notice Uncle Liang posted…"
"I also know that Uncle Liang. I knew he was about to die and didn't want him to be full of regrets before he passed, so I called him… and said I'd take the job."
"That Tsukamoto Do really wasn't killed by me."
Wang Jianjun shook his head:
"I don't believe you."
E Lao's face drooped:
"What's there not to believe about this kind of thing?"
Li Fu's eyes held a smile as he whispered:
"Tsukamoto Do is really dead."
"Uncle Liang transferred some money to your account."
E Lao jumped high:
"I was just comforting him casually; I never thought Tsukamoto Do had so many enemies."
"If I had known this, would I have gone to comfort him when I had nothing else to do?"
"Now look, I've brought trouble upon myself!"
"Uncle Liang only gave me two thousand hong kong dollar."
"Who would kill someone for two thousand hong kong dollar?"
"Two brave men, Tsukamoto Do really wasn't killed by me."
Wang Jianjun looked at E Lao's appearance and shook his head:
"We believe you didn't kill him."
"With your appearance, you couldn't kill anyone."
E Lao was indignant and was about to retort, but after looking at Li Fu and then at Wang Jianjun, he wisely closed his mouth.
Lack of strength doesn't mean lack of discernment.
E Lao had managed to get by for so long without suffering too much because of his discernment.
"Two brave men, you wouldn't be avenging that Old Japanese Devil… Tsukamoto Do, would you?"
Wang Jianjun glared at him:
"Don't talk nonsense. We have nothing to do with that Old Japanese Devil."
"If that Old Japanese Devil were in front of me, I'd blow his brains out with a single shot."
Li Fu kept nodding.
He was right.
Wasn't that Old Japanese Devil killed by Wang Jianjun with a single shot? He wasn't lying.
E Lao immediately felt relieved,
"Since you two aren't Tsukamoto Do's people, why are you looking for me?"
Li Fu said with a smile:
"After Tsukamoto Do died, a fund was activated. It's a revenge fund he set up."
E Lao's heart skipped a beat, feeling a sense of dread:
"Revenge fund?"
Wang Jianjun explained to him,
"That old fellow knew his sins were grave, so he set up a fund for himself."
"Once he's killed, the fund will issue a bounty to all assassins in the world."
"Whoever can catch the murderer of Tsukamoto Do, or eliminate that assassin, will receive that revenge fund."
E Lao's voice trembled:
"How… how much?"
Wang Jianjun smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth:
"One hundred million… US dollars!"
E Lao nearly fainted:
"One hundred million, and it's US dollars?!"
"I almost want to report myself."
As soon as the words left his mouth, he knew it was bad. He tremblingly looked up and saw the two burly men smiling at him.
E Lao turned and ran, shouting:
"Tsukamoto Do wasn't killed by me!"
Li Fu grabbed E Lao's collar:
"If it wasn't you who killed him, why are you running?"
E Lao struggled:
"You've all decided it was me who killed him, so why wouldn't I run?"
Li Fu said calmly:
"Can you escape?"
E Lao said self-righteously:
"I have to try, what if I do get away?"
Li Fu said sternly:
"You can't escape."
"Even if you manage to escape from us two, you won't escape death."
E Lao was stunned.
Wang Jianjun said indifferently:
"Didn't I just tell you? That old fellow Tsukamoto Do set up a revenge fund for himself, amounting to one hundred million US dollars."
"You should know how enormous a fortune that is."
"In Hong Kong, let alone for one hundred million US dollars, even for ten thousand hong kong dollar, there are countless people willing to risk their lives to kill."
"I advise you not to think about escaping. Firstly, you can't escape."
"Secondly, even if you truly had the ability of a rat and burrowed into some hole, it wouldn't work."
"You're not alone; you also have family… There are plenty of people who will find your family to threaten you."
E Lao stopped struggling, exclaiming in alarm:
"Don't go looking for Qi Qi; it has nothing to do with her."
Li Fu asked curiously:
"You have a daughter?"
E Lao said proudly:
"Don't mind that I'm short; my daughter is tall."
"Not only is she tall and captivating, but she's also a beautiful straight-A student; she's going to be a lawyer."
Li Fu shook his head honestly:
"I don't believe it!"
E Lao stomped his feet again:
"Why don't you believe it?"
"My daughter is a tall girl, one meter seventy! If she hadn't chosen to be a lawyer, she'd be a famous model!"
Wang Jianjun looked at him sympathetically:
"Then you absolutely cannot run."
E Lao panicked:
"Why?"
Wang Jianjun said unhurriedly:
"You're also in the assassin circle; you know what kind of people assassins are."
"They don't even care about killing people, so they care even less about doing other things, right?"
"If they knew you had such a beautiful daughter… what do you think they would do?"
E Lao's legs went soft, his face turning ashen with despair:
"Tsukamoto Do really wasn't killed by me."
Wang Jianjun said indifferently:
"Is telling us this useful?"
"It's not useful!"
"Things need evidence."
"Evidence shows that you accepted Uncle Liang's employment, and coincidentally, Tsukamoto Do died."
"Evidence also shows that Uncle Liang transferred money to your account."
"And finally, evidence shows that you didn't return this money to Uncle Liang."
E Lao exclaimed in anger:
"Is two thousand hong kong dollar even worth returning?"
Wang Jianjun said coldly:
"In your eyes, two thousand hong kong dollar is indeed insignificant."
"But this is the only thing Uncle Liang could offer; it's equivalent to his entire fortune."
"Oh, right, Uncle Liang also has a reward for you: that box of Okamoto military notes!"
E Lao wanted to cry but had no tears.
According to Wang Jianjun, wouldn't that confirm that he was the one who eliminated Tsukamoto Do?
E Lao gritted his teeth and said,
"If I really did eliminate Tsukamoto Do, then my death would be worth it."
"After all, that Old Japanese Devil committed all sorts of evil deeds."
"But two brave men, that Old Japanese Devil really wasn't killed by me!"
Wang Jianjun asked expressionlessly:
"Who would believe that?!"
That one sentence choked E Lao half to death.
Everything requires evidence; not only do Police Station officers operate on evidence, but it's similar in other industries.
The assassin profession doesn't rely on evidence; they rely on personal conviction.
Now, with multiple pieces of evidence compiled, E Lao couldn't clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
E Lao said with a mournful face:
"Two brave men, that Old Japanese Devil really wasn't killed by me."
Wang Jianjun said perfunctorily:
"Yes, yes, we know you didn't kill him."
The more E Lao listened, the more unpleasant he felt, and he desperately argued:
"That Old Japanese Devil really wasn't killed by me."
Li Fu spoke:
"We two believe you…"
E Lao showed a smile, but then Li Fu said,
"Our belief in you is useless."
"No one in the world will believe it."
E Lao's expression was blank. Suddenly, he stomped his feet and said,
"Let's go find Uncle Liang!"
"Uncle Liang will prove it for me."
Wang Jianjun retorted:
"How will he prove it?"
"Was he at the scene when you killed him?"
E Lao said angrily:
"The Old Japanese Devil wasn't killed by me…"
But he couldn't argue his way out of it.
E Lao sank to the ground in despair,
"Is it truly heaven's will to destroy me?"
Wang Jianjun said bluntly:
"Finding Uncle Liang is useless now."
E Lao looked at him, puzzled:
"Why?"
Wang Jianjun said indifferently: "Uncle Liang passed away tonight."
Ah?
Li Fu explained:
"When we found Uncle Liang, he was already dead."
"The doctor said Uncle Liang was actually at the end of his life, hanging on by a thread."
"As long as the Old Japanese Devil didn't die, he didn't want to die."
"Now that the news of the Old Japanese Devil's death has spread, Uncle Liang's wish has been fulfilled. He had no more attachments in this world and passed away after transferring the money to you."
E Lao was completely flustered:
"Then I'll be even more unable to explain myself, won't I?"
Li Fu sighed:
"It seems that's correct."
E Lao struggled to get up and began to beg:
"Two brave men, please let me go."
"I still have a daughter; I haven't seen her get married yet. I don't want to die."
Wang Jianjun kept shaking his head:
"I advise you not to think about escaping."
"It won't be good for you."
"You are in our hands; at least we won't make things difficult for you."
"If you run, every Triad in all of Hong Kong might receive a bounty, and they'll dig three feet deep to find you."
"If they can't find you, they'll kidnap your daughter to force you out."
"You should know the consequences of that."
"It's very troublesome."
Wang Jianjun spoke very directly, shattering E Lao's desire to escape.
After a long while, he said tremblingly,
"Can I see my daughter?"
Wang Jianjun asked in surprise:
"You still want to see your daughter?"
"If you don't care about your own life, why drag your daughter into this?"
E Lao's face was ashen,
"I've been swindling my whole life, but I never expected to get caught up in such an unexpected disaster."
"I need to say goodbye to my daughter properly."
"And warn her to stay far away from people like me in the future."
"This can also be considered my advice to her before I die."
Wang Jianjun looked up at Li Fu:
"Brother Fu?"
Li Fu nodded slightly:
"You can."
E Lao was overjoyed:
"Thank you, both of you."
Li Fu sized up E Lao:
"Dressed like that, you won't be able to see your daughter."
E Lao asked, puzzled:
"I need to dress up to see my daughter?"
Li Fu said calmly:
"Your daughter studies law, and her current boyfriend is also a lawyer."
"Tonight, your daughter is attending a dinner party with her boyfriend. Do you think the people at those parties are from high society?"
"Can you get in dressed like that?"
E Lao was both shocked and angry:
"You investigated me a long time ago?"
Wang Jianjun said in surprise:
"That's one hundred million US dollars. Isn't it normal to investigate you? Isn't that right, Yue Lu?"
E Lao immediately gave up struggling.
That's right, his real name was Yue Lu; E Lao was just a nickname.
E Lao said with a bitter smile:
"If you could investigate me, others should be able to as well."
Wang Jianjun said very calmly:
"That's right."
"We are not famous assassins after all. For those top ten assassins in the world, investigating you is very simple."
"They don't even need to do it themselves; as long as their agents act, getting your information will be easy."
Li Fu stifled a laugh from the side.
What Wang Jianjun said was actually not wrong; investigating Yue Lu's identity was not too simple.
However, this was a summary made only after utilizing Thunder Security's information system.
Thunder Security was quite trusted by local Hong Kong tycoons, had excellent cooperation with the Police Force, and was backed by Hung Hing, one of the ten largest local Triads. Most importantly, behind the scenes, there was also an information giant, Lin Feng, hidden.
All these conditions combined made it easy to retrieve Yue Lu's information.
Try it with someone else; wanting it to be this easy is actually the most difficult thing.
Wang Jianjun did not say one more thing: while Thunder Security was investigating Yue Lu's information, they also took the opportunity to help Yue Lu erase many traces.
The person who truly killed Tsukamoto Do was right in front of Yue Lu, and Li Fu's moral standards were actually very high.
Although Yue Lu deceived Uncle Liang's feelings and should indeed be punished, there was no need for him to lose his life.
Moreover, Yue Lu's actions actually took a bullet for them, which facilitated their operation.
However, E Lao didn't know about this.
At this point, E Lao also resigned himself to fate:
"I'm just a Young and Dangerous; I don't have any savings to change clothes."
Li Fu said calmly:
"It's fine, the two of us will just go with you."
E Lao looked at them suspiciously:
"You two can get me into high society?"
Li Fu was very calm:
"Yes!"
E Lao kept shaking his head:
"The doormen in high society are snobs; they won't let the three of us pass."
Li Fu smiled:
"Don't worry, if I say we can, we can."
E Lao was about to say more, but Wang Jianjun grew impatient,
"If Brother Fu says we can, then we definitely can. Why are you fussing?"
E Lao dared not say more.
The three walked towards the roadside, and E Lao became even less confident.
These two people's ride was actually a Hummer?
Who in high society drives a Hummer?
At least a sports car should be a must, right?
Even if it's not a Rolls-Royce Phantom, there should be an Okamoto version of the civilian sports car M2, right?
A Hummer?
Are you sure they'll let you park it?
However, these two big shots were not to be trifled with; what else could E Lao do but endure it?
So, the three got in the car and headed straight to a large hotel.
E Lao got out of the car uneasily, afraid that a security guard would suddenly appear and chase them away.
A security guard did come out, and surprisingly, he was all smiles:
"Brother Fu, President Wang..."
Wang Jianjun threw the keys to the other party,
"Don't park too far; we'll be leaving in a bit."
The security guard grinned:
"Understood!"
E Lao stood there dumbfounded, and Wang Jianjun said to him impatiently:
"What are you standing here for?"
E Lao came to his senses and said in surprise:
"Are you two still important figures?"
Wang Jianjun shook his head:
"Have you ever seen important figures like us running around for one hundred million US dollars?"
E Lao said unconvinced:
"One hundred million US dollars is not a small amount; many companies don't even make one hundred million US dollars in profit in a year."
Wang Jianjun looked at him with disdain:
"How many rich people have you met?"
E Lao was sullen, choked and unable to speak.
Wang Jianjun's tone made him feel that the two were not from the same world at all.
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun exchanged glances, both nodding slightly.
They really didn't have one hundred million US dollars.
They hadn't seen it.
However, they had seen the equivalent of one hundred million US dollars in hong kong dollars!
Back then, many brothers had moved it together.
Honestly, a full unit of banknotes was indeed too shocking.
The two could not be considered poor, and certainly not tycoons, but to say that they were rich people was not wrong at all.
Compared to E Lao, they truly didn't care too much about one hundred million US dollars.
Both had one thought—by staying with Brother Feng, they would eventually earn one hundred million US dollars, or even more.
E Lao was intimidated by their tone, constantly speculating about their true identities.
But Li Fu and Wang Jianjun were very tight-lipped, and with E Lao's limited cunning, it was truly impossible to get information out of them.
Wang Jianjun casually asked the lobby manager and headed straight to a certain floor.
E Lao's heart immediately rose, and Li Fu instantly noticed his nervousness:
"You've gotten into trouble so many times before, and your daughter's boyfriend always came to bail you out. Why weren't you nervous then?"
E Lao was no longer nervous, looking at Li Fu in surprise:
"How did you know that?"
Wang Jianjun sneered:
"Your file at the Police Station is a thick stack; how could we not know?"
"It's very easy to check."
E Lao completely gave up hope.
The doorman was surprised to see the three of them.
Wang Jianjun said to the doorman:
"This is Mr. Yue; we're here to find someone."
The doorman quickly extended his hand:
"Please come in, gentlemen. Do you need my help?"
Wang Jianjun shook his head slightly:
"No, we'll find them ourselves."
The doorman dared not say more and let them pass directly.
E Lao truly couldn't hold back:
"What exactly are your identities?"
"You must frequently attend high-society banquets, right?"
Li Fu shook his head:
"No, we rarely attend any banquets."
E Lao said with a bitter smile:
"Don't lie to me. Look at how the doorman treated you; you must be important figures."
Li Fu said, amused:
"No need to guess wildly. The owner of this grand hotel is my boss."
E Lao was startled, then suddenly looked at the two seriously, exclaiming:
"Are you two subordinates of Hung Hing's Mr. Lin?"
Li Fu shrugged:
"That's right. He is Wang Jianjun, and I am Li Fu."
E Lao's legs went weak:
"And you still say you're not important figures?"
Wang Jianjun smiled:
"Since you know our identities, then you should know that we wouldn't lie to you, right?"
E Lao sighed:
"That's right. Mr. Lin's reputation is top-notch; you really wouldn't lie to me."
Wang Jianjun said curiously:
"Weren't you always trying to figure out our identities?"
"Why are you more dejected now that you know our identities?"
E Lao sighed,
"Before I knew your identities, I still had room for imagination, but now it's like this..."
"Who in the jianghu doesn't know how righteous Mr. Lin is?"
"His reputation can be used as cash."
"I've carefully replayed what you told me, and I realize I'm beyond redemption."

Chapter 294: Is Li Fu Falling in Love?
Wang Jianjun tilted his head and said, "How about you think about it again?"
E Lao smiled bitterly, "What more is there to think about? Everyone knows Mr. Lin's reputation."
"Once he decides on something, who can refute it?"
"I'm dead for sure this time."
Li Fu said softly, "You should still think about why we brought you here."
E Lao casually said, "That's because Mr. Lin is righteous."
"He knows I'm innocent, so he wants me to see my daughter."
Wang Jianjun gently rubbed his forehead, "Brother Fu, this guy is really stupid."
E Lao was stunned.
Li Fu said indifferently, "Both of us know you're innocent, and we brought you here because we want your daughter to be out of danger."
"You wouldn't think we want to use your daughter to threaten you, would you?"
"Don't be ridiculous."
"If we really wanted your life, we could have acted long ago. Why would we go through all this trouble to bring you here?"
E Lao's hope ignited, "You mean?"
Li Fu suddenly changed the subject, "Your daughter is here… Oh? She really is 1.7 meters tall!"
E Lao quickly looked up and saw his beloved daughter walking towards him with a smile.
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun subtly stepped back half a pace, leaving enough space for the father and daughter.
"How did this E Lao guy give birth to such a tall daughter?"
"Brother Fu, why do I think E Lao's daughter looks nothing like him?"
"Could it be…"
Li Fu glared at Wang Jianjun, "How come I didn't know you were so gossipy?"
Wang Jianjun smiled, "I'm just idle anyway."
"Huh, that's not right?!"
Li Fu was quite speechless by Wang Jianjun, "What is it again?"
Wang Jianjun looked at him in surprise, "Brother Fu, your expression isn't right!"
Li Fu said unnaturally, "What expression isn't right?"
Wang Jianjun chuckled, "You've taken a liking to that girl, haven't you?"
He originally thought Li Fu would refute, but he didn't expect him to actually admit it.
Li Fu nodded, "Qi Qi is indeed beautiful."
Hiss!
Wang Jianjun gasped, he never expected that Li Fu, this seemingly upright guy, would actually admit it.
Is he falling in love?
Li Fu said softly, "Brother Feng always advises me to find a woman, but where are there any women in my work environment?"
Wang Jianjun wondered, "Sister Thirteen doesn't count as a woman?"
Li Fu said firmly, "She doesn't!"
"Besides, you know my family's situation."
"If I brought back a delinquent girl, my dad would break my legs!"
Wang Jianjun thought he was right.
People from the Mainland generally have very high expectations for family upbringing.
Let alone small-time hooligans, even if someone's family produced a street loafer, they wouldn't be able to hold their heads high.
If he really married a delinquent girl, his family would definitely be in an uproar.
"Brother Fu, I think the boss is right."
"You have money now, and a big house, it's time to consider finding a woman."
"Mong Kok has a tradition."
Li Fu spat fiercely, "I wouldn't dare to get involved with Mong Kok's tradition."
The Mong Kok lineage, from Liang Kun to Lin Feng, their demand for women was simply indescribable.
Lok Tin-hung, that guy who was solely devoted to martial arts, was actually a "seven-times-a-night" man.
Chicken, needless to say. His chicken was… Li Fu certainly didn't want to be like them.
"However, it's just a liking."
"She has a boyfriend."
Li Fu's eyes were very clear, and he was also very sober, not blinded by beauty.
Wang Jianjun shrugged, "The man is not married, and the woman is not married, anything is possible."
Li Fu still shook his head, "Let's see what fate brings."
The two casually picked up a glass of wine from a nearby waiter. Just as they took a sip, someone walked over, "Brother Fu, Brother Jun."
The two were greatly surprised. This was a high-class banquet, how could they meet someone who knew them?
They looked up and smiled.
"Mr. Jiang, you're also attending the banquet?"
The one who greeted them was none other than Jiang Chengyu.
Today's Jiang Chengyu was no longer just a legal advisor; he had received funding from Lin Feng and established a large law firm.
As Lin Feng's business expanded rapidly, Jiang Chengyu's law firm also expanded repeatedly.
Now his law firm was one of the top in Hong Kong.
Jiang Chengyu smiled, "My business is dealing with those wealthy people."
"I'll definitely attend more of these banquets."
"Oh, by the way, many clients want to see you two."
"How about it, do you have time to set up a meeting?"
Wang Jianjun sighed, "You ask Brother Fu, I don't have time."
"The boss sent me to Yuen Long."
Jiang Chengyu didn't believe it, "Mr. Lin relies heavily on you, how could he send you to Yuen Long?"
Wang Jianjun shrugged, "It's true, I'm the branch master of Yuen Long now."
Jiang Chengyu's pupils contracted, then he said excitedly, "This means Mr. Lin values you highly."
"Brother Jun, we're so familiar, why don't you let our law firm handle the business in Yuen Long?"
Wang Jianjun was stunned and turned to Li Fu, saying, "Is Mr. Jiang obsessed with money?"
Li Fu burst into laughter.
Jiang Chengyu chuckled, "Brother Jun, please give me some face?"
Wang Jianjun smiled, "Anyway, I don't know any lawyers, and I don't want to use Hung Hing's Triad lawyers."
"So what if your firm handles the business in Yuen Long?"
Jiang Chengyu was overjoyed, "Oh, thank you, Brother Jun, for giving me this opportunity!"
Li Fu reminded him, "Mr. Jiang, instead of doing this, you should try to connect more with Boss Ding."
"If you can secure all of Hung Hing Group's business, it will be enough for your law firm to advance further."
Jiang Chengyu smiled, "I was just thinking that."
"But you know Hung Hing has encountered many things before, and Mr. Li is very busy."
"I didn't feel right disturbing him."
Li Fu casually said, "Then you need to hurry up. Boss Ding is going to reorganize the company. If you don't seize this opportunity now and let others get ahead, you'll have nothing to cry about in the end."
Jiang Chengyu's heart stirred, "Reorganize?"
Li Fu smiled, "This isn't a secret. Boss Ding wants to turn Hung Hing Group into a true conglomerate."
Jiang Chengyu immediately became excited, "Gentlemen, why don't we go outside to talk?"
"I'm very interested!"
Wang Jianjun shook his head regretfully, "We can't, we're here with a friend."
"I say, Mr. Jiang, you're so familiar with the boss, why don't you go directly to his residence?"
"You know the boss hates beating around the bush the most."
Jiang Chengyu explained, "I just happened to run into you two, and I hadn't received such news before."
"I will definitely go to Mr. Lin's and Mr. Li's residences."
"No matter what, we are still family."
The three exchanged smiles and clinked glasses.
This was no joke.
Jiang Chengyu was indeed a part of Lin Feng's power structure.
It's just that his business scope was different from others.
Jiang Chengyu belonged to the legitimate side.
"Brother Fu, Brother Jun, who exactly is your friend?"
Wang Jianjun pointed casually at Yue Lu, who was dancing with Qi Qi, "There, that's him, this guy is Yue Lu."
"The woman dancing is Qi Qi, Yue Lu's daughter."
"Brother Fu likes her."
"But I heard she has a boyfriend."
Li Fu glared at Wang Jianjun, "You're talking nonsense."
Jiang Chengyu sighed, "This matter… I can't get involved."
Li Fu also glared at Jiang Chengyu, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"I just met Yue Lu today, and I just met his daughter."
Jiang Chengyu was stunned.
Li Fu asked, "Do you know a guy named Ye Jian?"
Jiang Chengyu asked in confusion, "Why are you suddenly asking about him?"
"This guy is clearly a lawyer, but he dresses like an artist, with long, flowing hair, very abstract."
"He and I are not on the same path."
"He manages a foundation for the Okamoto conglomerate."
"Industry rumors say this foundation is not legitimate."
Li Fu said in surprise, "You actually know him?"
Jiang Chengyu asked, "Are you two looking for Ye Jian?"
"Is it convenient to tell me what it's about?"
Li Fu casually said, "That guy's employer died."
"The foundation he manages is a revenge fund, and it has already started operating."
"This Ye Jian guy is going to be in trouble."
Jiang Chengyu was startled, "Ye Jian is going to be in trouble?"
Wang Jianjun nodded, "He who kills will be killed. The fund this guy manages is as high as 100 million US dollars, he's indeed not far from death."
Jiang Chengyu immediately understood, "Understood."
Li Fu casually said, "Mr. Jiang, can you give me Ye Jian's contact information?"
Jiang Chengyu readily agreed, "Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda."
"Ye Jian's professional ability is still good, if he can be saved, that would certainly be better."
Li Fu chuckled softly, "I'll let Ye Jian know who saved him."
Jiang Chengyu waved his hands repeatedly,
"That's not necessary."
"While I became a legal assistant influenced by my mother, I also harbored a chivalrous heart, always believing that even if I couldn't be a lawyer, I could still help people as a legal assistant."
"Only later did I realize how ridiculous my initial thoughts were."
"If there were no lawyers in the world, people might live happier lives."
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun both shook their heads.
They didn't understand Jiang Chengyu's sentiments.
After all, different professions are like mountains apart.
In any case, ever since they followed Lin Feng, they felt that having a lawyer nearby made everything much more convenient.
The two recorded Ye Jian's contact information. Jiang Chengyu looked up and exclaimed:
"Brother Fu, your friend seems to be in a bit of trouble."
Li Fu and Wang Jianjun nervously looked over and both sighed in relief.
It turned out that Yue Lu was talking to someone, and Qi Qi beside him was at a loss.
Li Fu immediately said:
"Let's go take a look."
Wang Jianjun smiled and said:
"Is Brother Fu going to be a hero saving a beauty?"
Li Fu glared at him:
"If you talk nonsense again, you'll play a few rounds with me when we get back."
Wang Jianjun immediately fell silent.
The three walked a few steps and saw a very Laang Zai guy saying to Qi Qi:
"Your law firm is too small, there's no future in it."
"Uncle Xu's law firm is very large. If he didn't owe my dad a favor, you wouldn't even be able to get in."
Uncle Xu was very proud.
Qi Qi immediately frowned and subtly glanced at the Laang Zai.
Jiang Chengyu chuckled from behind:
"This Laang Zai is about to get a snub."
"He definitely hasn't said such things to a Laang Nü before; he's acting first and reporting later."
Sure enough, Qi Qi said:
"Uncle Xu, I think young people should be appropriately tempered. You should just return your favor directly to Uncle Liu."
The Laang Zai was instantly stunned.
Uncle Xu was visibly displeased.
The Laang Zai's father laughed, trying to smooth things over,
"Old Xu, the Laang Nü doesn't care for your favor; she's willing to be tempered."
Uncle Xu also smiled.
The matter was supposed to be over, but Yue Lu suddenly walked over and called out:
"Qi Qi."
Qi Qi called out:
"Dad."
The Laang Zai was very flustered and immediately said to Uncle Liu:
"Dad, this is Qi Qi's father."
"He used to be in transportation."
Yue Lu said seriously:
"I'm not in transportation."
The Laang Zai became even more flustered:
"Uncle used to be in transportation, and now he's in air freight."
Uncle Xu was surprised:
"Competition in air freight is very fierce."
Yue Lu deliberately wanted to stir things up:
"Excuse me, Mr. Xu, I'm not in air freight either."
The Laang Zai was visibly at a loss.
Uncle Xu looked at the Laang Zai with dissatisfaction, but it was the Laang Zai's father who smoothed things over,
"Hello, Mr. Yue, I am David (the Laang Zai)'s father."
"It's an honor to meet you."
Yue Lu shook his hand and said:
"The honor is mine, the honor is mine."
"Mr. Liu, you might have misunderstood. I'm not an entrepreneur; I'm just a small-time hoodlum."
He released his hand and looked at Qi Qi,
"Qi Qi, Dad won't do those things anymore."
"Can't deceive people anymore."
"Even if we get away with it this time, there will always be a time when the truth comes out."
"It will be even more embarrassing then."
Yue Lu seriously said to Mr. Liu:
"Mr. Liu, I think we won't meet again."
"Sorry for the disturbance!"
Yue Lu finished speaking and turned to leave. Qi Qi followed without hesitation.
The Laang Zai David was anxious and called out:
"Qi Qi!"
Mr. Liu helplessly said:
"Haven't you understood yet? You're out!"
The Laang Zai David was at a loss for a moment.
Mr. Xu, however, praised:
"What a wonderful girl."
Mr. Liu also felt it was a pity.
Yue Lu came to Li Fu and Wang Jianjun, sighing:
"You must be laughing at me."
Jiang Chengyu said sincerely:
"Mr. Yue, you certainly have a good daughter."
Yue Lu said proudly:
"My daughter is certainly not wrong."
Wang Jianjun asked:
"Why did you say those things?"
Yue Lu sighed:
"I didn't do well myself, but I don't want my daughter to have any stains on her reputation."
"As parents, we always hope our children walk the right path."
Wang Jianjun pouted:
"Why didn't you do that earlier?"
Yue Lu thought of his predicament, and his face fell.
Qi Qi caught up:
"Dad, what are you doing?"
Yue Lu sighed:
"Qi Qi, Dad got into big trouble. If I hadn't said those things just now, I'm afraid it would have implicated you."
"I spoke my mind, but it affected your future."
Qi Qi was very nervous:
"My matters aren't important. What kind of trouble did you get into that would implicate your family?"
Yue Lu became even more depressed, at a loss for words.
Li Fu smiled and said:
"Mr. Yue's matter won't be easy to handle, but the immediate priority is to arrange things for you."
"If you wander around outside, you'll be in big trouble."
Qi Qi said discontentedly:
"That's my normal work."
Li Fu nodded:
"Yes, that work of yours is trouble."
Qi Qi's mouth dropped open.
"My suggestion is that you take leave from the law firm."
Qi Qi shook her head:
"I can't. Our law firm is very small. If I take leave, I'll lose my job."
Li Fu immediately frowned.
Wang Jianjun suddenly nudged Jiang Chengyu lightly,
"Mr. Jiang, does your law firm hire people?"
Jiang Chengyu looked at Li Fu, understanding, and said:
"No problem, we're hiring."
"Miss Qi Qi, may I have the honor of inviting you to join our law firm?"
Qi Qi said guardedly:
"Who are you?"
Li Fu shook his head:
"It seems the law firm you work for is very small, you don't even know him."
Qi Qi was puzzled:
"Do I have to know him just because I'm a lawyer?"
Li Fu said seriously:
"Not necessarily, but if you want to be a great lawyer, you naturally need to understand your opponents."
"If you don't believe me, look behind you."
Qi Qi turned around and saw the same Uncle Xu from before approaching with a smile.
Just as Qi Qi was confused, Uncle Xu had already extended his hand from afar, his target clearly the person who had just invited him to join.
"Mr. Jiang, you've also come to the banquet! If I had known you were here, I would have come to toast you earlier."
Qi Qi was startled. Could this person really be a colleague?
Uncle Xu clearly misunderstood. He said to Qi Qi:
"No wonder Miss Qi Qi didn't think much of my law firm. You should have told me earlier that you work at Jiangs Law Firm. That way, I wouldn't have made a fool of myself."
Just as Qi Qi was about to speak, Jiang Chengyu smiled and said:
"Qi Qi is still in the business familiarization stage and needs some time to hone her skills. Thanks to Mr. Xu's high regard, perhaps it won't be long before we see Miss Qi Qi in court."
Mr. Xu sighed and shook his head as he left.
Back at his seat, Mr. Xu pointed at the Laang Zai David and sighed:
"How can you be a boyfriend?"
"Jiangs Law Firm is the largest law firm in Hong Kong, and you still dare to call it a small law firm?"
"You almost got me killed!"
The Laang Zai David opened his mouth and said:
"No, Uncle Xu."
Uncle Xu glared at Mr. Liu:
"I've returned the favor I owed you to your son!"
Uncle Xu turned and left.
Mr. Liu was dumbfounded. When he came to his senses, he looked at his Laang Zai son, truly feeling disappointed.
Meanwhile, Qi Qi exclaimed:
"You are Mr. Jiang Chengyu of Jiangs Law Firm?"
Yue Lu immediately said:
"Mr. Jiang, our Qi Qi will be under your care from now on."
Jiang Chengyu wouldn't dare take credit, pointing at Li Fu and saying:
"Brother Fu has spoken, so I naturally have to do it."
He handed his business card to Qi Qi,
"Miss Yue, just call me when you're free, and you can start immediately."
Qi Qi was dumbfounded.
It was rumored in the industry that Jiangs Law Firm was the most difficult law firm to get into, bar none.
But now, it didn't seem difficult at all.
Li Fu shook his head:
"Qi Qi will join your law firm tomorrow."
"During this time, don't arrange for her to run errands. Just have a senior lawyer mentor her for a while."
"Once I've resolved Yue Lu's issues, then she can work normally."
Qi Qi was surprised. Have a senior lawyer mentor her? How was that possible? Senior lawyers were very busy.
Jiang Chengyu readily agreed:
"Brother Fu is right. I will personally arrange it tomorrow."
"So, Miss Qi Qi, see you tomorrow."
Qi Qi was completely bewildered. When did her father have such powerful friends?
With such powerful friends, how much trouble could he possibly get into?
