Names: Uncle Zhao Mengsheng, Father-in-law Pei Yihong

Qi Tongwei originally did not intend to use such drastic measures.

Since things have already turned ugly, let's just go all the way and shut down the Liang family's business.

Liang Qunfeng and Liang Lu's two older brothers are all cooked together.

The cold handcuffs shattered Liang Hongwen's last shred of dignity.

A high-ranking official at the department level, about to enter the ranks of vice ministers, has suffered such humiliation.

suffocated.

He struggled, his face flushed red, his eyes filled with resentment.

His years of sense of superiority made it impossible for him to accept the fact that he was being detained in court.

Damn it!

Not allowed.

I've never suffered such a loss in my life.

"grass!

What right do you have to arrest me!

Even if I, Liang Hongwen, interfered in Qi Tongwei's job assignment after graduation, it doesn't constitute a serious crime. You're violating regulations in handling this case!

Even when faced with irrefutable evidence, they still clung to wishful thinking, attempting to use their power and status to intimidate others.

They really won't give up until they've reached the Yellow River.

Cheng Du suddenly stood up, and his pent-up resentment from many years immediately erupted. "Liang Hongwen, you need to understand that you have never only interfered with Qi Tongwei's future, but also with mine, Cheng Du!"

There might be other people involved.

You changed the fate of me, Qi Tongwei, and perhaps others.

You still feel wronged? Haha!

The grievances and resentments of that year can finally be expressed in public today.

That feels great!

Liang Hongwen turned to look at Cheng Du with a disdainful expression, still maintaining the arrogant air of a high-ranking official's son, "I'm doing this to train you."

Qi Tongwei, if it weren't for me, Liang Hongwen, you wouldn't be where you are today as the executive vice governor.

That's about the level you'd need; otherwise, you'd be lucky to become a police station chief.

You all owe your success today to me, Liang Hongwen.

With a casual remark about training, he thinks he can erase half a lifetime of hardships for someone; his skin is as thick as a city wall.

Cheng Du sneered, "Liang Hongwen, I thank you? I think you're the one with the problem."

The brain circuits are different from those of a normal person.

As soon as Cheng Du finished speaking, Li Shundong stepped forward, his aura calm and composed, and directly countered, "Distinguished leaders, I am not only Qi Tongwei's lawyer, but also Cheng Du's lawyer."

Avoid saying too much, as it can lead to mistakes.

If Du Cheng says something wrong, it will be troublesome.

He looked up and stared directly at Liang Hongwen, his words firm and direct, hitting the nail on the head: "Liang Hongwen, you keep talking about training newcomers and honing the younger generation, your words sound grand and impeccable."

Then let me ask you, why is it that the training you speak of never falls to the direct descendants of the Liang family or the sons of powerful and wealthy families?

Why are all the remote, difficult jobs and grassroots problems being dumped on students from poor families?

How many accomplices and shady dealings are behind your so-called training?

With a single sentence, the veil of hypocrisy was torn away.

The audience was completely silent; everyone had seen through the Liang family's hypocrisy.

Seeing this, Liang Qunfeng could no longer sit still.

He suddenly raised his hand and slammed it on the table, "Ouch!"

You guys are really outrageous!

Handcuffing a serving provincial-level official in court is excessive and procedurally irregular!

Even if my son was involved, it's none of your business to act this way!

And you, Li Shundong, a mere lawyer, dare to question high-ranking officials in a public trial? Who gave you the guts?

Even after retiring and falling on hard times, Liang Qunfeng still tries to act like a senior figure, attempting to use his former power to control the pace of the trial.

Don't mistake me, Liang Qunfeng, for a sick cat, once the third-ranked official in Handong Province.

Li Shundong showed no fear, met Liang Qunfeng's gaze, and spoke frankly and confidently, "Liang Qunfeng, my courage comes from justice and the law!"

Liang Qunfeng, do you think I'm just an ordinary lawyer?

you are wrong.

My second uncle was Li Ershun.

Chen Hai, Hou Liangping, and I were classmates.

"What does Li Shundong have to do with me, Liang Qunfeng?" Liang Qunfeng sneered.

I think Li Shundong, that little lawyer, must be crazy.

Actually, I've already planned it out. Once everything is over, I'll make a call to my former subordinate, find some excuse, and I can shut down Li Shundong's law firm.

Li Shundong said indignantly, "Liang Qunfeng is of course related to me."

I also went to work at the judicial office after graduation.

It's quite far from home.

For so many years I have been puzzled, but today, facing you, I have finally come to my senses.

Liang Qunfeng, all of this is your doing.

Now that things have come to this, what else do you have to say?

Old cases and new grievances were settled at the same time, instantly expanding the scope of the investigation.

Destroy it!

Liang Qunfeng's face stiffened, and he composed himself, remaining stubborn to the end, "Li Shundong, you're talking nonsense!"

I know nothing about this matter; it's just you making baseless accusations.

I, Liang Qunfeng, am a legitimate vice-ministerial level official.

I still enjoy the retirement benefits of a vice-ministerial level official. You, a mere lawyer, have no right to ask me.

He remained stubborn and refused to admit anything.

Cheng Du sneered and took half a step forward. "Secretary Liang, we've come this far, so stop pretending."

Whether you are qualified or have violated regulations is not up to you to decide.

I have a complete chain of evidence, which I will make public later.

Liang Qunfeng, Liang Lu, and Liang Hongwen, you three are probably all unclean!

Years of resentment finally erupted.

Liang Lu instantly bristled, her eyes filled with hostility and her face full of disdain, "Chengdu, do you even deserve to comment on us?"

This is pure malicious slander and defamation!

Like a dead pig that's not afraid of boiling water, they're clearly continuing to shirk responsibility and deny everything.

"Whether it's slander or not, the evidence will tell." Li Shundong raised his hand to stop Cheng Du from arguing, his expression calm and his aura composed.

After all, Cheng Du is a public official, while Li Shundong is considered a member of the public.

There are certain things that shouldn't be said casually, but Li Shundong can say anything.

Li Shundong was worried that he might say the wrong thing.

Turning to look directly at Liang Lu, he pressed on, "Liang Lu, were you fully responsible for the internship statistics, job reporting, and list compilation for the graduates of Handong University back then?"

Faced with Li Shundong's relentless questioning, Liang Lu immediately shut her mouth.

Playing dead.

Her eyes darted left and right, deliberately avoiding everyone's gaze, and she remained silent.

They're giving up completely and refusing to answer.

At this point, the more we say, the more mistakes we'll make.

Silence is her only way to protect herself right now.

Li Shundong sought help from Chu Qiulin, saying, "Team Leader Chu, Liang Lu, a person involved in the case, refuses to cooperate with the questioning, remains silent throughout, and deliberately avoids key questions."

Chu Qiulin tapped the small hammer. "Liang Lu, it is the duty of those involved in a case to truthfully confess in court."

"I'll ask you one more time: were you fully responsible for the statistics, job postings, and list compilation of internships for graduates of Handong University back then?"

Under mounting pressure, Liang Lu changed her mind and decided to shift the blame and drag others into the mess.

Correct!

it's him!

Gao Yuliang.

"Team Leader Chu, I'm just an ordinary teacher at Handong University. I don't have that much power to interfere with the job placement of graduates."

The entire process was overseen and coordinated by Department Head Gao Yuliang. I was merely following orders, running errands, and submitting materials as required. The one who actually made the decisions was never me, but Gao Yuliang.
