Chapter 660: Sense of Security, Camellia Flowers Blooming

After one o'clock in the afternoon.

Inside the spacious and bright independent ward.

Qiuqiu sat on the sofa by the window, with a laptop in front of her.

On the screen were dense legal clauses about unfinished building rights defense and personal injury lawsuits. Li Meihua opened her mouth several times, wanting to say something more to ease the situation.

But Qiuqiu remained silent.

The intimate atmosphere that had finally been established between mother and daughter instantly became cold again.

I don't know when.

"Knock, knock, knock—" A series of urgent knocks suddenly sounded.

Without waiting for a response from inside, the ward door was pushed open from the outside.

Three figures appeared in their line of sight.

Qiuqiu stood up immediately, looking at them with vigilant eyes.

Besides Zhou Yan, the legal counsel for 【Xuyuan Real Estate】, and Zhang Zhanpeng, the person in charge of 【Xiongshi Security】, there was also a woman in her 40s.

She was wearing a well-tailored dark gray women's suit dress, her hair was meticulously coiled behind her head, and her face was made up with exquisite and sharp professional makeup.

Li Meihua got out of bed directly, glared at them, and asked loudly: "What are you running here for again?!"

Zhou Yan wore a formulaic smile, gestured to the middle-aged woman in the middle, and introduced: "Li Nushi, Ms. Cheng, let me introduce you. This is the Vice General Manager of 【Xuyuan Real Estate】, and also the public relations person in charge, Ms. Zhao Manlin, Director Zhao."

Zhao Manlin nodded to them calmly, her tone carrying a powerful aura that brooked no argument: "I came here this time to talk to the two of you about our company's reputation rights."

Qiuqiu took a deep breath, her lips pursed tightly, and said coldly: "What do you mean?"

Zhou Yan took a document out of his briefcase.

His expression was serious: "Li Nushi, we have already preserved evidence of the videos you recently posted on multiple platforms such as Douyin. They contain a large amount of untrue content, causing extremely serious negative impact on our company's commercial reputation.

Our Director Zhao came over today mainly to have a formal communication with you regarding this 'reputation infringement'."

Li Meihua's anger flared up instantly, "Fart! When did I post untrue content?! What did I say wrong?!"

Zhou Yan pushed his glasses, "In the video, you claimed that because of rights defense, 【Xuyuan Real Estate】 colluded with gangsters to beat you into the hospital and threatened you and your daughter. First of all, these two accusations are untrue. Secondly, the one responsible for the on-site security work that day was 【Xiongshi Security】, which signed an "Security Service Outsourcing Contract" with our company; its behavioral subject is completely independent of our 【Xuyuan Real Estate】 in law."

Li Meihua was dizzy from his roundabout talk, trembling with anger, but didn't know how to refute it.

Qiuqiu, however, stepped forward immediately and retorted coldly: "What you said is wrong. According to national law, if staff members cause damage to others while performing work tasks, the employer shall bear the tort liability, and you also have an inescapable responsibility for selection and supervision!"

She had searched and consulted many details online in the past two days and was not completely ignorant of these.

Li Meihua also followed up: "Right! It's your responsibility!"

Zhou Yan pushed his glasses, his face revealing the confidence peculiar to professionals, "Ms. Cheng, you might not know. What we signed is not a simple 'employment' or 'entrustment' contract, but a contracting contract. According to the law, in a contracting relationship, unless the ordering party is at fault in ordering, instruction, or selection, it has nothing to do with us as the ordering party."

Zhao Manlin said faintly at this time: "We 【Xuyuan Real Estate】 have been actively seeking solutions and are currently in contact with several large asset management companies, discussing the possibility of project restructuring. Li Nushi, you are now uniting with some owners to spread these so-called 'untrue information' on the internet, causing bad social impact, which will only make our self-rescue plan unable to proceed normally. By then, who will bear the losses of all the owners?"

Qiuqiu gritted her teeth, clenched her fists, and said: "You say you are actively seeking solutions, but how are you treating us?"

Zhao Manlin's tone remained calm: "We understand the emotions of the owners, but we also hope that everyone can remain rational. Over-the-top rights defense behavior cannot solve any problems."

Zhang Zhanpeng, who had been watching the show on the side, stepped forward.

First, he swept his eyes, which were full of ill intentions, over the amazing curves of Qiuqiu wrapped in jeans, and then said loudly:

"We 【Xiongshi Security】 are a proper security organization, and what we do is definitely not illegal. Moreover, our company has long-term security service cooperation with some official institutions in the city, and the relationships are quite good."

He came over himself just to play the bad guy.

He had plenty of ways and means to deal with small characters like Li Meihua who had no background.

Seeing the aggressive appearance of these three, especially that Zhang Zhanpeng who was full of gangster air.

Li Meihua, who still wanted to continue acting like a shrew, couldn't help but shrink back involuntarily.

When she opened her own snack shop before, what she was most afraid of encountering was this kind of person, and she had been bullied by them quite a bit.

Just at this moment, the independent ward door was suddenly pushed open.

Su Wenxuan, wearing a white coat, walked in hurriedly.

"Aunt Li, Qiuqiu."

Seeing him, Li Meihua seemed to have instantly found her backbone and said loudly: "Dr. Su! Is that Lawyer Fang coming soon?"

Su Wenxuan looked at the time and nodded: "Mm, I just talked to him on the phone, he should be here in at least half an hour."

Li Meihua said loudly: "Did you hear that?! We have already hired a lawyer! And it's a big lawyer from 【Quan Jing Law Firm】!"

Hearing the two words "Quan Jing."

Zhou Yan's face instantly became a bit serious, and he quickly exchanged glances with Zhao Manlin beside him.

They naturally knew what "Quan Jing" meant.

But they wouldn't be scared by this.

After all, Quan Jing's business scope was very wide, and they had dealt with the Rongcheng branch before; finding a litigation lawyer would at most make things a bit tricky.

Zhou Yan pushed his glasses and recovered his composure, "That's good, communicating with professional people will also make our efficiency higher."

Zhang Zhanpeng on the side laughed "hehe," twisted the gold watch on his wrist, and teased in a tone full of gangster air: "Big lawyer? Oh, it seems this is going to be a 'dead hand' against our Xiongshi Security, hahaha."

Li Meihua trembled with anger, but didn't dare to act like a shrew again easily.

Qiuqiu looked at them coldly; although she was on the surface, she was actually a college student who had just graduated, and the growth experience of these years made her personality very extreme. Facing this situation, she actually had a kind of fear, but because of her mother and that house payment, she could only hold on. Just at this moment, the ward door was pushed open again.

A young nurse on duty poked half her body in, her face carrying a bit of nervousness and awe: "Sorry, Li Nushi, Ms. Cheng, someone is looking for you outside. It's a lawyer from Quan Jing Law Firm, the other party asked, are you—convenient right now?"

Hearing this, Su Wenxuan was stunned instantly.

After knowing the developer came, he specifically called his classmate Fang Qihua, and the other party said he had just finished lunch and it would take at least half an hour to drive over.

How could he arrive so quickly?

And Li Meihua, as if she had finally waited for reinforcements, instantly straightened her back and said with full energy: "Convenient! Very convenient!"

"Okay, then I'll let them come over." The little nurse responded and turned to leave hurriedly.

Su Wenxuan heard the word "them" and was stunned again, confused.

Zhao Manlin and Zhou Yan opposite exchanged glances calmly.

Soon.

"Tap, tap, tap—"

A dense and rhythmic sound of footsteps came from the hallway.

Everyone's gaze was cast toward the ward door involuntarily.

Through the small square glass window on the door, one could see figures in suits and leather shoes.

Appearing in the doorway in shadows, blocking the light at the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

The knocking sound rang out, neither light nor heavy.

Waking everyone up completely.

Immediately following, the door was completely unfolded from the outside.

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.

Leading them was a handsome man in his forties, with a tall figure, wearing a dark gray double-breasted custom suit, carrying a black leather briefcase in his hand.

His eyes were bright and sharp, as if they could pierce through people's hearts.

A powerful aura emanated from his body.

On the left chest, a small and exquisite LOGO was meticulously embroidered with silver thread.

Li Meihua was stunned instantly, subconsciously looking at Dr. Su beside her.

Full of confusion: What is this situation?

Isn't this—isn't this the chief partner of the Quan Jing Law Firm that Dr. Su showed her on his phone before?!

How could he suddenly appear here?!

Qiuqiu and Su Wenxuan were also dumbfounded.

After all, they had only seen the other party's encyclopedia and news on their phones in the morning; this was a big shot in name.

Suddenly appearing in this small ward of Rongcheng Second People's Hospital, no matter how you look at it, it's very unbelievable.

"Tap, tap, tap—" The steady sound of footsteps rang out again.

One after another, figures walked in.

Behind Luo Bin, four or five middle-aged men and women with solemn faces followed, their chests also embroidered with the 【Quan Jing】

LOGO.

After them, there were four burly men wearing black suits, eyes as sharp as hawks, and wearing invisible headsets.

All the light in the room seemed to be swallowed by the aura of this group of people in an instant.

Zhang Zhanpeng, who was still full of arrogance, had his expression freeze instantly, his eyelids jumping.

He realized that things were not right.

Luo Bin's gaze swept calmly across the small ward, and his sight quickly fell on Cheng Qiuqiu.

A faint smile appeared on his face, "Hello, may I ask if you are Ms. Cheng Qiuqiu?"

"You—you are—" Qiuqiu rubbed her hands nervously, "It's me, who are you—"

"I am Luo Bin from Quan Jing Law Firm. You can call me Lawyer Luo." His voice was steady and magnetic, carrying a full sense of security, "I am entrusted by Mr. Tang to come and handle some legal troubles for you and your mother, Li Nushi Meihua."

"Mr. Tang? Tang Song?" Qiuqiu widened her eyes, full of disbelief.

Luo Bin nodded gently, "Yes. Mr. Tang specifically instructed that from now on, all legal affairs for you and your mother during your time in Rongcheng, regardless of size, will be fully represented by our Quan Jing, and I will personally be responsible for following up on these matters."

Qiuqiu was instantly at a loss, her face turning red.

Li Meihua looked at her daughter blankly, then looked at this man with a terrifyingly powerful aura.

Her brain was blank, completely unable to understand everything happening before her eyes.

Mr. Tang? Which Tang Song?

How could he let this big boss lawyer from 【Quan Jing】 personally run over to handle her affairs?!

She still remembered that Dr. Su specifically introduced that his classmate was a lawyer from 【Quan Jing Law Firm】 and how amazing he was.

But that classmate was just an ordinary litigation lawyer at the Rongcheng branch.

Su Wenxuan was full of question marks, feeling that his worldview had been strongly impacted.

As a legal counsel, Zhou Yan's face turned pale instantly when he heard Luo Bin report his family name.

He leaned into Zhao Manlin's ear, his voice trembling: "Director Zhao, this—this is the chief partner of 【Quan Jing】, Director Luo Bin!"

He himself was a registered lawyer; how could he not know this big lawyer who had reached the top of the domestic legal circle.

It was just that he dreamed he wouldn't have met the real person here in this way.

Zhao Manlin gasped, feeling boundless coldness surging from the soles of her feet to her crown instantly.

An ordinary 【Quan Jing】 lawyer, to them, just meant "trouble."

It meant needing to invest more legal resources to deal with it, and it meant another annoying matter that needed to be distracted to handle in the bankruptcy crisis that was already overwhelming.

Although tricky, that was all.

But for the chief partner of a top domestic Red Circle firm to personally lead a lawyer team, this was no longer trouble.

Their 【Xuyuan Real Estate】 was now on the verge of bankruptcy and reorganization, and the chairman was using all his connections to conduct the most difficult negotiations with several potential investors, trying to fight for the last glimmer of survival for the company.

These were all facts.

But once a legal giant like 【Quan Jing】 started to intervene with all its might, then—

The fragile loan extension agreement they had with the bank would instantly be void.

Those potential investors who were still watching would immediately cross them off the cooperation list completely.

o￠〇

All the legal flaws and gray operations hidden in their accounts would be dug out.

This was not an equal contest at all.

The other party didn't even need to truly "win" this lawsuit.

As long as Luo Bin stood here, as long as 【Quan Jing】's gold-lettered signboard was shown, their 【Xuyuan Real Estate】 would have no chance of turning over ever again.

This was not on the same level as the small trouble of Li Meihua "spreading rumors" on the internet.

Thinking of these, a layer of fine cold sweat instantly floated on the foreheads of Zhao Manlin and Zhou Yan, their hearts trembling.

Just at this moment.

A burly man in a black suit behind Luo Bin stepped forward two steps and bowed respectfully to Cheng Qiuqiu:

"Ms. Cheng, hello. I am Wang Kui from the Rongcheng branch of 【Sheng Tang Security】. Entrusted by Mr. Tang, from now on, we will be responsible 24 hours a day to ensure the personal safety of you and your family."

Immediately following, the other three black suits behind him also bowed, "Ms. Cheng."

The invisible headsets under their collars flashed with faint red light, their eyes were as sharp as hawks, and their whole bodies exuded a well-trained, suffocating sense of oppression.

Zhang Zhanpeng's black fat body shuddered violently, the color fading from his face.

He stood up straight violently, his pupils contracting violently due to extreme shock.

This is 【Sheng Tang Security】's special guard?!

As someone who had been rolling in the gray area for many years and also opened a security company himself, he naturally knew what this group of people represented.

General special guards only served top-tier tycoons and celebrities.

For example, those top-tier big stars in the country usually had at most two or three such "gate gods" by their side.

But now, four of them appeared at the same time.

And, they came to protect this pair of mother and daughter who had no background?!

Looking at their sculptural figures, Zhang Zhanpeng's legs began to go soft uncontrollably.

Li Meihua was stunned by the magical scenes happening one after another, dumbfounded.

She looked at the black-clothed bodyguards only seen in movies, then looked at the big lawyer team that had an unbelievably powerful aura, then looked at her daughter, her heart beating faster and faster.

A face that had weathered the storms turned red.

Qiuqiu, who was in the center of the crowd, looked at the big lawyer Luo Bin who was smiling gently at her, then looked at the four black-suited security guards.

Her full chest began to heave violently.

Tang Song, Tang Song—

Isn't he in Yancheng?

How did he know about the trouble I'm encountering now?

How could he let these people come here to protect me?

Am I dreaming?

She bit her tongue hard, and a clear pain came.

It's not a dream...

She thought of the sudden care in the text message this morning, thought of her chat with him.

An indescribable sense of happiness instantly crushed all her reason like a volcanic eruption.

Tang Song—he—has he always, always been silently paying attention to me?

At a time when I didn't know?

She had always been a timid person, even more so in the past few days.

Her mother was injured and hospitalized, facing threats from developers and security companies, and still had to fight lawsuits and struggle with them.

She was really scared.

It was just that she was used to disguising herself and didn't want to show her true self in front of her mother.

And Tang Song, as if he had heard her deepest cry for help.

Descended from the sky in such an unbelievable and powerful posture.

All her anxiety and fear vanished at this very moment.

Replacing them was an unprecedented sense of security.

Above her head, the 【Dream Flower Seed】 swayed violently.

The emerald shimmer transformed into strands of fine radiance, scattering upon her like spring rain.

A pure white camellia bloomed quietly within the halo of light; its petals were crystal clear, emitting a soft and holy glow.
