Mai Encui, Zhang Zhongquan's wife, arrives with Jiang Huazi to find Fang Weiguo. She reveals Zhang Zhongquan has been arrested for extortion and faces over ten years in prison, pleading for help. Moved by their plight, Fang Weiguo invites them in.

Fang Qing looked calmly at Mai Encui, "Hmm, if the amount is particularly large."

"How much is considered particularly large?"

Fang Weiguo began to inquire about legal issues.

"Above 500,000."

Fang Qing provided professional knowledge.

"500,000 is considered particularly large?"

Fang Weiguo was surprised.

With such calculations, extorting a villa would be considered a light sentence for ten years.

"He... extortion?"

Pan Hui was also greatly surprised.

She believed Zhang Zhongquan could swindle and deceive.

But extortion?

"Yes, and it’s a villa."

Even if he didn’t want to kick someone when they’re down, Fang Weiguo couldn’t help but mutter.

Some disasters are really self-inflicted.

"Zhongquan must have been framed. He can’t have such guts. Qing Qing, you’re a lawyer, a contract signed voluntarily by both parties shouldn’t be considered extortion, right?"

Facing Mai Encui’s gaze, Fang Qing remained composed, displaying the professionalism expected of a good lawyer, and objectively stated from an outsider’s perspective, "Voluntary contracts are indeed not extortion, but one must prove it was truly voluntary."

In special professions like lawyers and doctors, empathy should be avoided, at least during work, they must put aside their empathy.

"Voluntariness requires proof? Why doesn’t he need to provide evidence that it wasn’t voluntary? If so, then anyone could easily slander others."

Mai Encui’s emotions slightly lost control.

"Calm down."

Jiang Huazi reminded.

Fang Qing was indifferent, still calmly saying, "Indeed, whoever asserts a claim must provide evidence."

Jiang Huazi was taken aback, looking at Fang Qing, instinctively saying, "Qing Qing, so you’re saying Zhang Zhongquan was framed?"

Fang Qing shook his head and, amidst everyone’s puzzled looks, slowly spoke, "The other party has already presented evidence."

"Where did the evidence come from?"

Mai Encui instinctively asked.

"That property ownership certificate. The law depends on objective facts, without personal connections or reasons, why would someone give you an expensive villa? Why would you accept it?"

Everyone was stunned.

"So the problem now isn’t about debating whether it’s extortion but why the villa’s ownership ended up in his name, and whether he can offer a reasonable and legal explanation to judicial authorities."

"Yes, how did he manage that?" Zhang Zhongquan asked.

"I don’t know. He never mentioned anything to me."

"What you should do now is not seek others but find Zhang Zhongquan and clarify things."

"Encui, did you offend someone?" Pan Hui whispered, "It seems like someone is intentionally harming you."

Not just her.

Actually, Jiang Huazi and Fang Weiguo also felt it.

But.

The logic is unreasonable.

"To be able to afford a villa at Quchi East Courtyard must be someone unusual; why would they set up such a trap specifically to harm someone?"

Jiang Huazi was puzzled and perplexed.

She spoke relatively tactfully, but to put it bluntly — it’s a different level, not even deserving of making enemies.

"I go to work every day..."

"You know nothing at all?"

Fang Weiguo couldn’t help but raise his tone.

"I only know the person is named Zhou, Zhou..."

At the time, she only took a quick glance, not able to remember clearly.

"Zhou Shaohua?"

Someone "reminded."

Everyone collectively turned their heads.

Looking at Fang Qing, Mai Encui nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes, that’s the name, Zhou Shaohua!"

"Qing Qing, do you know this person?"

Jiang Huazi tentatively asked.

Fang Qing lightly nodded.

Round and round, unexpectedly, they ended up back here.

Only the one who tied the bell can untie it.

Everything was rooted because of Zhang Zhongquan, yet after so much back-and-forth, it still landed on him.

According to Buddhist teachings.

This is called "karma."

Can’t escape or avoid it.

"What does this person do?" Fang Weiguo curiously asked.

Fang Qing was silent for a moment.

"He’s the hidden protector behind Green Land."

The words were too concise.

Several elders trembled.

"Weren’t you reconciled with Green Land?"

Fang Weiguo turned his head again to look at Mai Encui.

Mai Encui didn’t expect it was Green Land playing tricks, she almost cried.

"I don’t know..."

Fang Weiguo could no longer bear it, and stopped holding back, "Can you change your line? You took money from Green Land and withdrew the lawsuit. Logically, you should have become friends with Green Land, so why are they still messing with you?"

Mai Encui was bewildered and perplexed.

Indeed.

Why?

It had already been settled.

"You can’t trust such a shameless company!"

Jiang Huazi was gnashing her teeth, "Dealing with such a company is like seeking skin from a tiger!"

"Exactly, look at the unscrupulous things they do, and you’ll understand what kind of people they are. Their goal was simply to get the lawsuit withdrawn. Although they paid for a settlement, it was forced. They must have been harboring resentment, and as soon as they had the chance, they started their revenge immediately."

Pan Hui mumbled.

Hmm.

The analysis was... reasonable.

Fang Qing said nothing.

Although the elders’ analysis wasn’t the truth, was Zhang Zhongquan really innocent?

Or could it be said he was implicated?

No.

He brought it entirely upon himself.

"Those bastards!"

Mai Encui stomped her foot in anger, feeling remorseful, but it was too late.

She worked hard at her job and even had to take special leave to watch the house. She should have known that making money isn’t easy.

So.

Why didn’t she think more about it at the time?

Is it that easy to take money from capitalists?

"With the irrefutable lawsuit and so many homeowners united, Green Land still managed to distort the truth and win the case. Now they want to take down Zhang Zhongquan, isn’t that effortless?"

It wasn’t intentional to add fuel to the fire, Fang Weiguo was just compelled to state the objective facts.

"These people can cover the sky with one hand in Sha City. Even if you didn’t take their villa, they have a thousand and one ways to fabricate other reasons to convict you."

Pan Hui quickly tugged on his arm, "Say fewer words," yet the mournful Mai Encui still broke down, sobbing out loud.

"Sigh."

Pan Hui sighed, quickly walked away, and brought some tissues, "Stop crying. What use is crying, it can’t solve the problem."

"Retribution! It’s all retribution! I told him long ago not to covet petty gains, if something isn’t yours, don’t even think about it..."

Mai Encui seemed to lose her strength of support, unable to stand, she helplessly squatted down, speaking as tears flowed.

Jiang Huazi didn’t help.

In such a situation, letting her vent is actually better.

People can’t learn from others, but they learn from experiences.

Indeed a wise saying.

She knew, Mai Encui truly regretted it, and the one labeled with extortion inside must feel the same.

But.

If she had known this day would come, why act that way in the first place?

If they hadn’t compromised and insisted on fighting, even if they didn’t win the lawsuit, at least they wouldn’t lose their dignity, integrity, and character.

How could it come to this, getting trapped, even facing the risk of being imprisoned for life?

No.

It’s not even a risk.

Against Green Land’s means, an ordinary person targeted by them is almost inescapable!

All one could hear was the sound of bitter weeping.

Fang Weiguo and the others remained silent.

Fang Qing walked to the side, took out her phone, and still made the call.

They couldn’t really make decisions on their own.

Half an hour later, when Boss Jiang came back, he saw that the woman he should call his aunt was no longer squatting on the ground, but slumped, tear-streaked and despondent.

Seeing him enter, everyone looked at him simultaneously.

"Jiang Chen..."

Jiang Huazi hesitated to speak.

Mai Encui, sitting on the ground, showed a fluctuation in her eyes, turned her head, saw Jiang Chen, and crawled over without any consideration for her appearance or so-called elder dignity, actually kneeling in front of Jiang Chen.

"Jiang Chen, I beg you! Please save your uncle, I beg you!"

She said, anxiously bowing down, her forehead banging on the ground, echoing with a force, making the floorboards resound.

Fang Weiguo and several others were filled with mixed emotions.

Fang Qing exchanged a tacit glance with someone.

Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon.

Their eyes met.

Fang Qing rolled her eyes slightly, but still stepped forward, forcibly pulling Mai Encui up.

"You are an elder, an elder kowtowing to a junior is to shorten one’s life."

Such a virtuous, understanding, and well-mannered good wife.

Jiang Huazi couldn’t help but let her thoughts drift.

Feeling the power and warmth from her side, Mai Encui felt increasingly ashamed, and unprecedented regret burst out, covering her mouth, unable to control her sobbing.

"Wu——"
