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

Liang Lu opened her mouth, still wanting to defend herself, trying to confuse the issue by mentioning her reputation, seniority, and past respectability.

"I am a professor at Handong University."

"I am a university professor."

"I am an outstanding worker at Handong University."

Li Shundong didn't give her a chance to explain. He raised his hand, preparing to unleash his trump card, "Team Leader Chu, we request to present a set of evidence."

Following the established procedures, the sole purpose is to bring down the Liang family.

Furthermore, after this battle, Li Shundong gained a resounding reputation in the legal profession in Handong.

It wasn't just for Qi Tongwei and Cheng Du, but also for himself.

Chu Qiulin nodded slightly. "Yes, Attorney Li, you are permitted to publish this information."

After receiving permission from the team leader, Li Shundong immediately handed over a thick stack of paper materials.

Each page is stamped with the bright red official seal of the Archives of Handong University in the lower right corner.

Clear and eye-catching.

In addition, it is stamped with a seal across the seam, which shows that it was made very solidly.

This way, no one can find any fault with it.

Every page is legally valid and free from any defects.

Zhong Xiaoai quickly stepped forward to take the materials and skillfully connected them to the on-site projection equipment.

The next second, densely packed pages of original archives filled the entire projection screen.

Every word is clear, and every item is traceable.

List of internship assignments, job adjustment approval forms, personnel destination change registration, and internal reporting and filing ledgers for previous graduates of the Department of Political Science and Law of Handong University.

All the signatures, approvals, registrations, and reports on the key pages are in Liang Lu's own handwriting, along with her work number.

There were no signs of forged signatures, no room for evasion, and no ambiguity whatsoever.

The evidence is irrefutable and irrefutable.

The silent conference room was instantly filled with a cacophony of voices that echoed throughout the room.

All the officials, investigators, and school representatives present now saw through the true nature of the Liang family beneath their glamorous exterior.

It wasn't any other color, but gray.

To outsiders, they appear to be a family of scholars and officials, but behind the scenes, they engage in all sorts of shady and corrupt activities involving abuse of power for personal gain.

In the audience, many grassroots officials couldn't help but whisper among themselves, their voices filled with sighs and indignation.

"No wonder Qi Tongwei and Cheng Du were sent to Lone Eagle Ridge. It turns out it was all Liang Lu's doing."

A single sentence revealed years of injustice, and all the pent-up resentment in his heart surged up.

Ji Changming shook his head. "As a teacher, one should be fair, selfless, and kind to one's students."

Holding the authority to allocate resources, instead of using it to cultivate talent for Handong, they used it to vent personal grievances, seek personal gain, and suppress dissent. They are truly unworthy of their public office and their teaching position.

If virtue is not matched, there will be disasters.

The professors from the university present looked extremely grim and began to grumble in hushed tones.

"The shortcut for college students from poor families to change their destiny is through studying."

Liang Lu ruined someone's future with just a word and a signature; she was utterly malicious.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Now that the Liang family has lost power, no one will cover for them out of consideration for feelings or power.

Even Wu Chunlin couldn't help but say, "Liang Qunfeng has worked in Handong his whole life and held a high position."

His daughter is unjust and has no moral boundaries. Liang Qunfeng indulges his family members in their reckless behavior, and the family's moral character has deteriorated to the extreme.

孽 孽!

This is truly a terrible tragedy!

Lu Jingyi chimed in, "If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. The father abuses his power, and the children are domineering. The Liang family has been able to enjoy its glory for so many years entirely because of rent-seeking by those in power."

The room was filled with whispered discussions, each voice a condemnation, each word a veiled attack.

Every comment was like a heavy hammer blow, piercing Liang Qunfeng's heart.

It felt like being pierced by a thousand arrows.

He listened to the accusations and sighs all around him, and looked at the irrefutable evidence on the projected screen.

The prestige, connections, and dignity painstakingly built up over decades collapsed and shattered at this moment.

He felt that he was truly incorruptible, neither greedy nor greedy, and he did not even remarry after his wife passed away.

In the end, I never expected that I would still fail, ruined by my precious daughter Liang Lu.

The immense disparity and extreme humiliation swept over his entire body, causing his blood and qi to surge wildly in his chest.

He could no longer suppress the surging, metallic taste within him, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Crimson bloodstains fell onto the table in front of him.

His aged body trembled violently, swaying precariously, and he nearly collapsed.

The entire room fell silent for a moment, followed by even quieter murmurs.

No one sympathized with Liang Qunfeng; they only felt that he had brought it upon himself.

Under normal circumstances, Li Dakang, Wu Chunlin, and Ji Changming would probably rush over to offer their concern and care, and might even take Liang Qunfeng to the hospital.

Now, if they don't kick someone when they're down, they've done everything they can.

Gao Yuliang sat not far away, his expression remaining calm and composed.

Seeing this, he raised his hand and asked Secretary He to hand him a handkerchief.

There was no sympathy, no mockery; it was merely the provincial third-level official's basic decorum for maintaining appearances.

He sighed deeply.

Liang Qunfeng was shrewd and calculating throughout his life, navigating the officialdom for half his life, but ultimately his life was ruined by his own daughter.

He's a total debt collector, here to squander half of the Liang family's life's work.

It's true that retribution may be delayed, but it's not time for it to come.

When the time comes, they will surely suffer retribution.

People should do more good deeds.

Liang Qunfeng tremblingly took the handkerchief, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared at Liang Lu, who was dumbfounded.

His eyes held anger, regret, and above all, endless despair.

He was protective of his own children his whole life, indulging his daughter in everything, thinking it was out of love. In the end, however, he was the one who raised the root of the disaster that would destroy the entire Liang family.

They've brought trouble upon themselves by raising a tiger; they've reaped what they sowed.

Liang Lu was surrounded by condemnation from the entire audience, looking at the irrefutable evidence projected on the screen, and at her father who was coughing up blood and in despair.

My mind went blank, and my whole body felt ice-cold.

All the sophistry, all the excuses, all the denials, vanished completely under the weight of irrefutable evidence and public condemnation.

From this day forward, the Liang family will no longer have any dignity in Handong.

Chu Qiulin asked, "Liang Lu, is there anything else you'd like to say?"

But Liang Lu still refused to admit defeat.

There's a kind of hysterical obsession.

I would rather betray the world than let the world betray me.

He raised his head, shook his head, and tried to find a last layer of protection for himself: "I do not accept these convictions!"

I have a history of mental illness!

I am an intermittent mental patient. During episodes, I am unconscious and my actions are beyond my control. Therefore, I can be exempted from punishment according to the law!

When faced with a desperate situation, resorting to mental illness as a shield is truly a sign of utter desperation.

Upon hearing this, many people in the room showed slight changes in expression.

Using mental illness as a defense is Liang Lu's only way to exonerate herself at present.

A faint hint of mockery flashed across Gao Yuliang's eyes.

Gao Yuliang was the most principled of the Thirteen Protectors.

Since the Liang family wants to tie themselves to Gao Yuliang, and even drag Gao Yuliang down with them.

Gao Yuliang wanted to take this opportunity to completely sever his ties with the Liang family.

He spoke slowly, his tone not harsh, but every word pierced the heart: "Liang Lu, if you really have a mental illness, you would still deserve sympathy."

But your illness looks so fake.

So realistic it's flawless, so realistic it's almost as if it were solely for the purpose of evading responsibility.

An outsider's perspective is clear; they had already seen through her clumsy trick.

It's not realistic at all; it's obviously fake.
