Chapter 1881

Li Mengqi took a deep breath and silently nodded. She knew this was the only thing she could do now.

"Alright, then let's do it this way," she said finally.

Over the next few days, Li Mengqi and Wang Zhiyuan worked closely together to plan their next move. They decided to use these photos and letters to pressure Chen Kaijun into voluntarily giving up that plot of land.

A few days later, Li Mengqi arranged to meet Chen Kaijun at a coffee shop. When Chen Kaijun saw Li Mengqi, he felt somewhat surprised.

"Qiqi, is there something you need from me?" Chen Kaijun asked.

Li Mengqi looked into Chen Kaijun's eyes, took a deep breath, and then slowly took out that letter and the photos.

"Mr. Chen, I think you should see these," she said.

Chen Kaijun froze. He took the letter and photos and quickly scanned them. His face grew paler and paler; when he finished the last page, his hands were trembling.

"What are these?" he asked.

"These are photos of you gambling at a casino in the past, along with some photos of you and your ex-wife. If these photos are exposed, you will face huge trouble," Li Mengqi said.

Chen Kaijun fell silent for a moment, his heart filled with shock and fear. The fact that he had once owed huge debts due to gambling was known only to his ex-wife and a very few people. He could not imagine how these photos and letters had ended up in Li Mengqi's hands.

"Who gave you these photos and letters?" he asked.

"Our lawyer's private investigator found them. They have already launched an investigation into Lin Zihao and uncovered some things," Li Mengqi said.

Chen Kaijun felt somewhat powerless; he knew his position was extremely unfavorable. If these photos and letters were exposed, his reputation and family would suffer serious consequences. Moreover, he also knew Lin Zihao would certainly not let him off easily.

"Lin Zihao has already made it clear: as long as you can produce three million and give up that plot of land, he is willing to stop pursuing responsibility for your son," Li Mengqi said. "Mr. Chen, I hope you understand this principle: there are some things you are not capable of bearing."

Chen Kaijun fell silent for a moment, his heart filled with struggle. He loved his son, but he also knew that if he gave up that plot of land, his reputation and family would be lost. He did not know what decision would be best.

"I need time to think about it," he said finally.

Li Mengqi and Wang Zhiyuan decided to give Chen Kaijun some time to consider, while they also began preparing for their next move. They believed Chen Kaijun would ultimately make the right decision: give up that plot of land and protect himself and his son. A week passed, and Li Mengqi and Wang Zhiyuan had not been able to contact Chen Kaijun; they began to feel somewhat worried. Had he decided not to give up that plot of land?

Just then, Chen Kaijun proactively contacted Li Mengqi and arranged to meet her by the lake in a park. When Li Mengqi saw Chen Kaijun, she noticed his face was somewhat pale and he looked extremely exhausted.

"Mr. Chen, how have you considered it?" Li Mengqi asked.

Chen Kaijun sighed deeply, then slowly nodded: "I have decided. I will give up that plot of land."

Li Mengqi felt somewhat surprised: "Really?"

Chen Kaijun nodded: "Yes, I have figured it out. I cannot let my son be harmed because of me. Moreover, I have also understood some things. Thank you and Lawyer Wang for your help; I will handle the remaining matters as soon as possible."

Li Mengqi felt somewhat moved; she knew Chen Kaijun must have made a firm resolve to make this decision. She comforted Chen Kaijun with a few words and told him they would help him handle the remaining matters as soon as possible.

The next day, Chen Kaijun, as agreed, transferred three million into Lin Zihao's account and signed the agreement to give up the land. Although he lost that plot of land, he gained more. He gained his son's safety and also learned some lessons.

Over the following period, Li Mengqi and Wang Zhiyuan helped Chen Kaijun handle the remaining matters, including returning the land to its original owner. Although some minor incidents occurred during this process, everything was ultimately resolved smoothly.

After the matter was resolved, Li Mengqi and Wang Zhiyuan gradually reduced their contact. Li Mengqi threw herself back into her work, while Wang Zhiyuan continued handling his cases.

Until one day, Li Mengqi received a phone call from Wang Zhiyuan.

"Qiqi, do you have time? I want to meet with you," Wang Zhiyuan's voice sounded somewhat serious.

Li Mengqi was somewhat puzzled: "Is there something?"

Wang Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, then slowly spoke: "I want to tell you something. I found that Lin Zihao has not given up on his revenge against Chen Kaijun..." "Lin Zihao?" Li Mengqi's heart tightened; she had not expected Lin Zihao would carry out such a terrible revenge against Chen Kaijun.

"Yes, Lin Zihao," Wang Zhiyuan continued. "I found he has been secretly investigating Chen Kaijun, trying to find his weaknesses. Moreover, he has also learned some things about Chen Kaijun."

Li Mengqi was startled: "What does he know?"

Wang Zhiyuan fell silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "He knows that Chen Kaijun once owed huge debts due to gambling."

Li Mengqi felt a wave of fear in her heart; she knew if Lin Zihao exposed this news, Chen Kaijun would face enormous pressure and threats.

"That bastard!" Li Mengqi couldn't help but curse. "How can he bully people like this!"

Wang Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, then continued: "Qiqi, I know your relationship with Chen Kaijun is good; I do not want this matter to affect you. However, we must take some measures to protect Chen Kaijun and his family."

Li Mengqi was extremely angry in her heart; she decided to take action together with Wang Zhiyuan.

"That bastard! I will make him know that doing this will not end well for him!" Li Mengqi said angrily.

Next, Li Mengqi and Wang Zhiyuan began to plot; they would use their connections to expose Lin Zihao's crimes. They began collecting evidence and contacted some media outlets and lawyers, preparing to make Lin Zihao's crimes public.

During the plotting process, the relationship between Li Mengqi and Wang Zhiyuan also underwent a subtle change. They discovered they had more in common, and through rescuing Chen Kaijun, their feelings for each other deepened.

After a period of effort, Li Mengqi and Wang Zhiyuan finally collected enough evidence. They contacted several media outlets and lawyers, preparing to make his crimes public on the day of Lin Zihao's birthday.

On the day of Lin Zihao's birthday, he was celebrating at a luxurious restaurant. Suddenly, his phone rang; it was a call from one of his subordinates.

"What is it?" Lin Zihao asked somewhat impatiently.

"Boss, something has happened! Someone has exposed your crimes..." the subordinate said somewhat panicked.

Lin Zihao's heart tightened; he quickly turned on the television and found all channels were broadcasting his crimes and those of others. He felt somewhat desperate; he knew his good days were over.

Ultimately, Lin Zihao was sentenced to prison, and Chen Kaijun was also freed. He thanked Li Mengqi and Wang Zhiyuan for their help and began a new life. Li Mengqi and Wang Zhiyuan also came together because of this incident, jointly welcoming future challenges. Alright, below is the continuation of the text, focusing mainly on character dialogue and interaction:

After Lin Zihao was sentenced to prison, Chen Kaijun's life gradually returned to calm. He regained his job and rebuilt a deep bond with his son. Li Mengqi and Wang Zhiyuan also remained together, supporting each other as they faced future challenges.

One day, while Li Mengqi and Wang Zhiyuan were chatting, they suddenly brought up the matter of Chen Kaijun.

"Do you think Chen Kaijun will start over?" Li Mengqi asked.

"I think he will. He has already understood some things and knows he needs to make changes," Wang Zhiyuan replied.

Li Mengqi fell silent for a moment, then said: "I have always felt that although we helped him a lot, he actually helped us a lot as well."

Wang Zhiyuan nodded: "Yes, this incident also made our relationship deeper. Moreover, we also learned many things from it."

"Do you think we will encounter such things again in the future?" Li Mengqi asked.

"I think we will encounter many things, but we will also continue to grow. As long as we stand side by side, we will surely overcome all future difficulties," Wang Zhiyuan replied.

Li Mengqi felt very warm; she knew she had found someone she could rely on.

"I love you, Zhiyuan," she said.

"I love you too, Qiqi," Wang Zhiyuan replied.

A few days later, Chen Kaijun called Li Mengqi.

"Qiqi, I would like to invite you and Zhiyuan to my home for a meal; there are some things I want to discuss with you," Chen Kaijun's voice sounded somewhat hesitant.

Li Mengqi found it a little strange: "Alright, we'll go. Is there something the matter?"

Chen Kaijun was silent for a moment, then said: "I want to thank you both. Without you, I might not have been able to get through that most difficult period. I also want to apologize to you, because regarding the matter from before, I had already privately reconciled with Lin Zihao, but I didn't tell you."

Li Mengqi's heart tightened; she hadn't expected Chen Kaijun to make such a decision. She didn't know what to say and could only fall silent.

"I know that when you helped me, it was out of your care and sympathy for me. But I should also be honest with you about my decision. I want to start my life over, and I want to face the future together with my son. So, I've decided not to pursue Lin Zihao's responsibility any longer, and instead chose reconciliation." Chen Kaijun continued.

Hearing this, Li Mengqi finally understood what Chen Kaijun meant. She felt a little relieved, yet also a little lost. She knew Chen Kaijun must have made this decision with great resolve, but she also felt a touch of unwillingness about her own decision.

"As long as you've decided, we'll still support you just as always." Li Mengqi said finally.

Chen Kaijun smiled gratefully: "Thank you, I'll remember it. Then I'll be waiting for you to come to my house for a meal."

After saying that, Chen Kaijun hung up the phone. After Li Mengqi put down the phone, she looked at Wang Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan, what do you think we should do?"

Wang Zhiyuan pondered for a moment, then slowly began: "I think we should respect his decision. He was able to honestly tell us his thoughts, and we should respect his opinion. After all, he has already walked out of the shadow and started a new life."

Li Mengqi silently nodded: "Yes, you're right. Let's still go to his house for a meal."

A few days later, Li Mengqi and Wang Zhiyuan arrived at Chen Kaijun's home. Chen Kaijun had already prepared the dishes, waiting for their arrival.

"Mr. Chen, your cooking is really good." Li Mengqi said after tasting a bite of the dish.

"Really? Then eat some more." Chen Kaijun said with a smile.

The three of them tasted the food while chatting. They talked about recent events, and also about some plans for the future.

After the meal, Chen Kaijun took out three cups of drinks and placed them on the table.

"Mengqi, Zhiyuan, I want to tell you something." Chen Kaijun said after a moment of silence, "I want to cooperate with you on a project."

Li Mengqi and Wang Zhiyuan exchanged a glance, both somewhat surprised. They hadn't expected Chen Kaijun to make such a suggestion.

"What project?" Li Mengqi asked curiously.
