Chapter 169

Accompanying Lin Dongfan into the women's detention center was also his subordinate, Jian Sining.

After spending a night in the detention center, Qiu Ruonan's arrogant aura had been worn down to almost nothing. Facing Lin Dongfan sitting opposite her, her eyes were filled with hatred, and she remained silent.

Lin Dongfan said: "To curry favor with the Gao family, you really went all out. You even used the law firm's corporate account to transfer money to Section Chief Duan's wife, without a shred of hesitation. Back then, did you think no one would dare interfere in this case? Did you think crushing Zhou Jianmin would be as easy as stepping on an ant?"

This could be said to be hitting the nail on the head, it stabbed Qiu Ruonan so that her hatred was soundless.

At that time, Qiu Ruonan indeed thought that way. The person responsible for the traffic accident, Gao Shuo, was none other than the close nephew of Secretary Gao; in Nanzhou, who would dare to break ground on Tai Sui's head?

Under the mindset of "big tree, good shade."

At that time, Qiu Ruonan once believed: this case was a heaven-sent opportunity! As long as she helped the Gao family settle this matter, she could rise to prominence in a single step and become a honored guest of the Gao family!

Never did she expect that, while man proposes and heaven disposes, she would actually be cut across the waist by Lin Dongfan with a single blow.

Now, thinking back on all of this.

Only heartache!

Qiu Ruonan closed her eyes, so desperate she didn't want to speak.

Lin Dongfan chatted calmly: "I said I would send you to prison, yet you didn't believe me. As a king who wins arguments by strength, when have I ever deceived a woman?"

"You just want to humiliate me? Do as you please."

Afraid of revealing her breaking emotions, Qiu Ruonan kept her eyes closed, secretly taking deep breaths, trying to calm herself.

This little thought of hers, trying to hide it from the discerning Lin Dongfan, was somewhat difficult.

Lin Dongfan tapped his knuckles on the table: "Big Sis Bitch, let me interview you—what's it like to be stabbed in the back?"

"……!!!"

When it came to being stabbed in the back, Qiu Ruonan's first thought was the Gao family—it was the Gao family that betrayed her, viciously stabbing her from behind—pain, pain, pain!

However, what Lin Dongfan really wanted to say were the two words 'karmic retribution'.

You little bitch who betrayed your teacher and destroyed your ancestors, you stabbed Teacher Luo in the back, ruining his reputation! Now you're receiving this stab—purely the heavenly way of cyclic justice, whom does heaven spare?

Lin Dongfan gave Jian Sining a look.

Jian Sining understood instantly, took out a handheld camcorder, and aimed the lens at the silently resentful Qiu Ruonan.

At this point, Lin Dongfan also formally entered the topic: "Qiu Ruonan, whether you pretend to be mute or blind, you cannot change the fact that you are lawless and have betrayed your teacher and destroyed your ancestors! Now I give you one last chance. Tell me, why did you frame your benefactor—Luo Xiang?"

"I'm a lawyer; using this kind of leading question in front of me, don't you find it ridiculous?"

Qiu Ruonan finally opened her eyes, her angry gaze carrying a hint of contempt.

Elite is elite.

"Why did you frame your benefactor—Luo Xiang?" This sentence's presupposition is "you framed your benefactor," which is indeed a kind of leading rhetoric.

Having his ploy seen through, Lin Dongfan merely smiled faintly.

No rush.

I, the young master, have plenty of mood today to argue with you.

Lin Dongfan leisurely lit a cigarette and slowly analyzed the situation with her: "In the traffic accident case involving Gao Shuo, you are suspected of bribery, fabricating evidence, and obstructing judicial fairness. Your lawyer's license will surely be revoked; after you get out of prison, you won't even be qualified to earn a living as a lawyer. Think carefully—what will you be able to do in the future?"

"What's it to you!" Qiu Ruonan gave a cold smile.

Lin Dongfan took a slow drag: "Indeed it's none of my business, but I just love to meddle. You say, does it piss people off or not? I have a friend who is the administrative director of a media company, with media resources covering domestic and overseas. A casual greeting could blow your imprisonment sky-high, ruining your reputation just like Teacher Luo's."

"Tch!"

Qiu Ruonan still sneered contemptuously, as if she didn't give a damn.

Lin Dongfan laughed: "Let me think—what could you do after getting out of prison? Be a legal consultant for someone, or go screw screws in the legal department of some big corporation? Neither works; if your reputation is ruined, you have no way out. Think about it—even Secretary Gao, who holds real power, almost got crippled by your scheming; who would dare to employ you?"

"I'm rich—why would I need to be a legal consultant? Why would I go screw screws in a big factory? Even if I just laze around at home doing nothing, I'll never lack food or drink for the rest of my life!"

Qiu Ruonan glared with both eyes, finally revealing her ultimate trump card—she had savings.

Lin Dongfan shook his head regretfully:

"Big Sis Bitch, you forgot again—I'm a worker at the Anti-Corruption Bureau. Now I suspect you're a beneficiary of the 1.9-billion corruption case. Do you think I can first freeze your assets and then investigate slowly?"

"Lin Dongfan!!!"

Qiu Ruonan finally couldn't hold back, shouting so loudly it thundered in the ears.

That's more like it.

If you're going to roar, then roar; no need to pretend calm when there's nothing to worry about.

Lin Dongfan laughed like a top scholar who just aced the imperial exams: "Back then you couldn't even pass the civil service exam, yet you let me pass? It's infuriating—I repent, I shouldn't have been so outstanding."

"……!!!"

Qiu Ruonan lowered her head, angrily clenching her fists, her teeth grinding audibly.

Roughly speaking, her inner physical cosmos has already exploded.

Go ahead and collapse to your heart's content!

Lin Dongfan tapped his knuckles on the table again: "Big Sis Bitch, I've finished repenting—shouldn't it be your turn to repent now? Do you want to apologize to Teacher Luo in front of the camera?"

"……!!!"

Qiu Ruonan still kept her head lowered and remained silent,

Jian Sining suddenly smiled and advised: "Lawyer Qiu, stay strong—you must hold on. It's just a few more charges of insult and defamation; you won't get the death penalty. The world is so big, surely someone will support you in refusing to apologize…"

"Shut up!!!! Whether I'm strong or not is none of your business!!!!"

What Maserati, what Patek Philippe—in this situation, no matter how awesome the car, it can't reach heaven; no matter how expensive the watch, it can't stop time.

In Qiu Ruonan's world, only the marmot's roar remains.

One roar overturns the city, a second roar overturns the nation!

Without three roars, three roars would cause asthma; now she already feels a painful sensation as if she's about to suffocate.

She closed her eyes and took two deep breaths.

After her emotions stabilize a little.

Gazing at the video camera in Jian Sining's hand, filled with hatred and remorse, he said: "Teacher Luo, I'm sorry! It was my momentary stupidity that ruined your life's work; I shouldn't have falsified the paper to smear you..."

Collapse!

Da Biao Jie, don't stop!

Although this apology came a bit late, fortunately we didn't miss the last train.

Finally, before Provincial Committee Liang Jingzhong left office, we cleared Teacher Luo's name.

Afterwards, we just need to send this apology video to the Provincial Department of Education and the Party Committee Office of Jianglan Zhengfa University.

He walked out of the women's detention center.

Jian Sining's admiration for her senior brother was like an endless river; her silky gaze was full of tender affection.

She thought, "What a godlike senior brother—say he'll crush someone and he does, adept at both literature and martial arts, and can even drive."

Chu Lingxi is really fortunate.

Jian Sining suppressed her envy and asked Lin Dongfan puzzledly: "Senior brother, regarding her imitation of Teacher Luo's handwriting, did the Provincial Judicial Appraisal Center really find no trace?"

Don't doubt Qiu Da Biao Jie's strength.

In the midst of chatting and laughing, Lin Dongfan took out his phone and sent a message to Teacher Luo, delivering the good news.

If nothing unexpected happens...

No unexpected.

Teacher Luo should now have his eyes light up, angrily pull out the oxygen tube with his bare hands, and then clamor to discharge himself from the hospital.

Because his reply was over the top: "This academic paper, I give you full marks!"

Lin Dongfan recalled his college grades back then; if he could have gotten this score, damn, who would still take the civil service exam? He'd go straight for a bachelor's-master's-doctorate triple kill!

Now Lin Dongfan doesn't want anything.

He just wants Teacher Luo, who doesn't understand human relations, to quickly assume office, adapt to Nanzhou's battlefield environment, so he can carve out a blood path with his bare hands.
