Chapter 1908 Is it possible?
Zheng Shou's insistence on taxes after receiving the money left people with a sense of bewilderment, much like a monk or Taoist priest taking a civil service exam. After all, they had never heard of temples or Taoist monasteries paying taxes.
He even blamed the law-abiding citizens.
With this matter settled, Zheng Shou and his men were about to head back home.
Zheng Yujun wanted to leave but couldn't, and is now stuck in his hometown for half a month, which is extremely frustrating.
When it came time to pay, they started to fuss. They gave me half the money, saying they'd pay the other half once they saw the results.
A wise man never gets involved in money disputes. Zheng Shou stroked his beard and turned to leave.
Huang Haohui crossed his arms and looked down at Zheng Yujun with a sneer: "You dare to owe us money? Be careful, you might have the life to owe but not the life to spend it."
After saying that, he didn't argue with them anymore and left.
However, as he turned around, he quietly tossed a copper coin next to one of the bowls.
A large group of people boarded the bus and prepared to return to Hecheng.
Zheng Yujun spat on the ground with a "pui" sound: "Do you think I'm scared? I'm not even alive to spend money, what money wouldn't I dare to spend?"
This old man Zheng was found through connections by the second son. If it weren't for an important project at home that Zheng Yumin couldn't leave, Zheng Yujun wouldn't have been sent.
This younger brother is skilled in everything from drinking and gambling to whoring since he was a child, but he never does anything worthwhile.
He thought it wouldn't be difficult to send his elder brother back to his hometown and have a master perform a ritual. He had arranged all the details. Zheng Yujun was just a lucky charm; all he had to do was pay a fee. So he sent his younger brother back.
He just didn't expect that Zheng Yujun would feel closer to those eight million than to his own father.
Why should he give all that money to this fraudulent feng shui master? He's been swindling people for years, and whether it works or not is entirely up to him.
Besides, asking his brother for money is like asking him for his life, but giving him a few hundred thousand is like giving a beggar a handyman. Now that he has four million, why wouldn't he take it?
Now that everything's set up, these people are no longer needed. Just give them four million; they need to learn to be content!
As for feng shui, it's a matter of belief; if you believe in it, it exists, if you don't, it doesn't. If feng shui were really that powerful, what would be the point of all this effort? Feng shui masters should be the richest people in the world.
Zheng Yujun felt that his thinking was correct.
As soon as everyone left, Zheng Yujun gave instructions to the servants.
"You all remember to come and offer incense every day, okay?"
"Third Master, didn't the master say that you had to do it yourself?"
"What a load of bull! A real master wouldn't ask for money. He swindled four million from me. Does he think my money grows on trees? I have to do all the work myself. What a load of bull!"
He had to hurry back to Lucheng. Now that his eldest brother had fallen from grace and he had returned to his hometown, the company was left to be managed by his second brother alone. That man was full of tricks and schemes. If he didn't go back soon, the company would inevitably fall into the hands of his second brother.
No wonder they hired a master to try and trip him up for half a month.
The more Zheng Yujun thought about it, the more he felt it was Zheng Yumin's conspiracy. What master? They all had the surname Zheng. Maybe it was some distant relative he didn't know who was posing as a master in order to seize the Zheng family's assets.
With that thought in mind, how could Zheng Yujun sit still?
He gave the order directly: "Make preparations, we're going back to Lucheng tomorrow!"
Damn it, he got scammed, and he got scammed big time.
What a coincidence, Zheng Shou thought the same thing.
They were already ripping them off, and now that they want to deduct money, they're even more justified in doing so.
When Huang Haohui got into the car, he nodded to Zheng Shou. Zheng Shou turned to look at Caibao. The little guy was video chatting with his dad and assigning tasks. Finally, he wasn't the only one being sold around by Caibao. Her beloved dad hadn't escaped her clutches either. Zheng Shou closed his eyes to rest, relieved.
The car stopped shortly after leaving the village.
On the other side of the mountain road, Zheng Xuemei emerged and got into the car.
Then, she met Chen Chuan.
The ideal elite lawyer is always impeccably dressed in a suit and tie, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, standing tall and exuding an extraordinary professional demeanor.
But what about the man on the other end of the phone?
He looked like he had just woken up, wearing an old T-shirt, his hair was messy, he was young and handsome, his appearance was unbelievably good-looking, he sat casually on a deck chair on the balcony, swaying back and forth, basking in the sun, relaxed and lazy.
He didn't seem like a lawyer; he was more like a dazzling superstar.
With such a handsome face, is he really reliable? Would a man with that kind of record be like this?
Zheng Xuemei suddenly began to regret trusting a three-year-old girl so easily.
The more handsome Chen Chuan was, the more suspicious she became.
He's more handsome than male celebrities on TV, and he can easily make a lot of money, so why bother being a lawyer? It's so hard.
Zheng Xuemei's suspicions were obvious, but Chen Chuan acted as if he didn't see them, calmly saying to her, "Ms. Zheng, my daughter has already explained things to me regarding your matter. I have a suggestion; would you like to hear it?"
Zheng Xuemei hesitated for a moment, but nodded anyway, since she was already here.
“I have a classmate named Pei Jian, who happens to be a lawyer at a law firm in Lucheng. I can contact him and have him act as your lawyer to file a lawsuit against Zheng Yuguo. What do you think?”
Zheng Xuemei was taken aback: "You mean... Attorney Pei from Jianyi Law Firm?"
"Yes."
Zheng Xuemei was truly unable to remain calm this time.
In Hai Province, Pei Jian's name is known to anyone who pays attention to the legal profession.
He's a legend in the legal profession in Hainan Province. Despite his young age, he has an extremely high win rate and has handled numerous major cases. If he's willing to take a case, there's no lawsuit he can't win.
Most importantly, it's expensive.
Over the years, Zheng Xuemei has often wondered if things would have been different if she had been able to send Zheng Yuguo to prison, or if she had found a more capable lawyer who was not afraid of powerful figures.
But no matter how she thought about it, she never imagined that Pei Jian could help her with the lawsuit.
After all, a lawyer of his caliber wouldn't even bother with her, let alone ask him to take her case. He wouldn't even have time to meet with her or consult with her.
Chen Chuan meant he could arrange for Pei Jian to take over her case? Liar! They're all liars!
Her expression turned cold: "Are you kidding me? How could Pei Jian possibly take my case?"
Chen Chuan didn't try to prove anything to her, he just told her, "Wait a moment, Pei Jian will contact you."
Then the video call ended.
Zheng Xuemei looked at Caibao, who grinned at her, showing off her pearly white teeth, and said, "Hehe, isn't my dad handsome?"
Zheng Xuemei: ...Is that the point?
She was starting to feel like leaving, feeling like she'd been tricked.
These people just performed a feng shui arrangement for Zheng Yuguo; doesn't that just prove they're in cahoots? And yet she still believed their nonsense. She really is…
She still didn't leave.
Five minutes later, Zheng Xuemei's phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number from Lucheng.
Could it really be...? She numbly swiped her finger to answer the call.
