Chapter 311 – She was just helping karma along some was all. (4)
Fang JunRong frowned slightly. Many had sent her precious gifts in the last few days, under the pretense of XinYun’s birthday. That must be a joke. XinYun’s birthday was not for another two months. Nobody would send in gifts so far in advance.
Bai Shiyuan’s maiden family sent her a set of topaz jadeite head set, worth over 10 million yuan. Her husband’s family sent over a raw gem. A jadeite of the ice type as well. By the looks of it, it could be turned into at least two bracelets and a few rings. She had no idea where the Deng family had gotten this antique from… …
What were their intentions? She had noticed that these few families were all the ones that she had unpleasantness with in the past.
She decided to just call up Sun Mei and find out.
Sun Mei, on the other side of the phone, said, “Don’t you have any ideas? Words in the circle lately was that you are the killer in our circle. Nobody who had offended you ended well. They are worried that you would hold grudges against them so they figured they would send you gifts now in order to mend the fences with you.” From Li WangJin to Wang Xiao to the Zhang family now. The evidences were mounting. They had no choice but to take this seriously.
“My husband praised that I had the foresight and made up with you a long time ago. Say, when are we going to the hot springs together?”
Fang JunRong, “… …”
What was up with these people? They were making her sound like the God of misfortunes. What was there for them to worry about had they stayed on the good side of the law?
Those from the Zhang family were arrested from breaking the laws. What did that have to do with her?
All she did was merely pushing karma along some was all.
***
Over this period of time, the Zhang family had provided a lot of dramas for others.
Zhang Kaiyu had, after all, been the Zhang’s clan leader for many years and was rich in both plots and networks. Naturally, he would do anything within his power to not rot in prison for the rest of his life. He had his lawyer contacted a lot of his old friends to see if they might be able to offer some help to him. He had promised them a lot of benefits and offered up a lot of the Zhang’s profits.
Money could always move people. Regardless of whether it was for the sake of their old friendships for the profits, many families were tempted to give it a try.
Zhang Kaiyu’s well-laid plans, however, were not able to overcome the effort of his pig teammates.*
When his son found out about this, they all jumped up and down in anger. Ever since Zhang Kaiyu had been arrested and there was nobody above them, they were able to spend money however they pleased and were finally able to experience the joy of freedom. As it turned out, their real father would rather sacrifice the profits of the Zhang family just to get out of prison. That was an equivalent to cutting flesh off of their bodies. How were they able to put up with that?
As such, they had all turned into law-abiding citizens and worked with the police pro-actively. They even reported all of Zhang Kaiyu’s efforts as evidences to that fact that he was not regretful at all about his past crimes and, as such, needed to be punished harshly in order to make an example out of him. As for those who had tried to help out Zhang Kaiyu, they were almost dragged down by him. They were outraged; nevertheless, none of what they had done could be exposed so they had no choice to hold it all back.
They weren’t going to risk themselves in order to help Zhang Kaiyu so they had no choice but to halt their attempts regretfully.
Zhang Kaiyu, learning about his own sons and grandchildren had been turning him in, almost coughed out blood.
“Are you serious?” He asked his lawyer with his eyes widened.
After being in prison for 6 months, all of his anxieties and worries, as well as the drop in quality of living, Zhang Kaiyu had aged a lot and became much more disheveled. Many silver hairs had been introduced to his original black hair. His look had, finally, caught up to his real age.
The lawyer, hired by the Zhang family, naturally gravitated toward them.
He nodded and said, “They hope that you will be observe the law and not drag the entire Zhang family down with you and taint the Zhang family’s 100 years of reputation.
“As the clan leader of the Zhang family, certainly you would not want to become the transgressor of the Zhang family and make the Zhang family a laughingstock of others.
“This is the necessary sacrifice for the sake of the Zhang family’s reputation,” said the lawyer with a strict face and he couldn’t have looked more righteous.
