Mo Wenjie looked at Tan Wenjiang and said, "Are you aware that you have been relieved of your duties? I regret to inform you that no matter how big a worm you are, if you are against the people and above the law, you will perish like smoke.
Tan Wenjiang pleaded bitterly, "Mozonglu, I've made a mistake. I've truly realized my wrongdoing. I shouldn't have shielded my family and abused my power. Please spare me and give me a chance to live!"
Mo Wenjie continued: "When you were in power, did you want to let me go? Did you want to let Kangqiao go? Now you want me to let you off the hook, but have you ever heard the saying that kindness to the enemy is cruelty to the people? Our predecessors showed leniency to the Japanese invaders, only to be met with the massacre of our people. This is a blood-soaked lesson. If I let you go today, will you still oppress the people tomorrow? If I were just an ordinary security guard today, what would be my fate? Before this, haven't you had chances to repent and reform? But have there been any signs of remorse from you? Instead, you continue to seek a larger network of connections and intend to crush me. That's what you call knowing your mistake. You don't know your mistake; rather, knowing that it's too late for redemption, you are begging for leniency. Go to prison and repent!"
At this moment, a group of people entered the main gate, including the chief of the provincial government of Jin Province, the chairman of Jin Province, the commander of Jin Province Military District, and the political commissar. They introduced themselves and paid their respects to Mo Wenjie and Mo Zhongcun. Through this incident, we will immediately launch criticism and self-criticism.
Mo Wenjie said, "I have nothing much to say about your work, but you should always keep in mind the construction of your team. For those who are dedicated to serving the people, we should break through the grade to promote them. For those who harm the people, we should severely suppress them. I still hope that you can go down and understand the suffering and helplessness of the people. Build your team with strong technical skills, integrity, and never bow down in front of evil. Let the people live a peaceful life and enjoy their work. Today, I want to particularly praise Kangqiao's comrade. He doesn't know my identity and probably knows that I am just a security guard. But he faces the risk of losing his position and still doesn't pursue prosperity. Such a person should be placed on an important post and not treat serving the people as a slogan but as a guiding light."
We all remember, and in the future, we will definitely not fear the powerful and stand up for the people.
Mo Wenjie said, "Everyone go back and do your own job."
After the leaders leave.
The banquet hall is in an uproar. Who said there's no power or background? I'd like to knock him out. What does it take to have power and a background?
Sun Jia's people must be blind. They can't even see a true dragon, while treating a crawling creature as a god. What a blind thing! It's amazing that it has managed to live until now. It should have been hit by a car long ago.
Good deeds and bad will always bear fruit, the law of heaven is good at cycles!
Sun Li's face was filled with happiness as she looked at Mo Wenjie, "I'm homeless now!"
Mo Wenjie said, "Then you'll have to live on the streets!"
Sun Li's face lit up with a smile as she said, "Whether I marry a rooster, a dog, or even a monkey, I'll follow you wherever you go."
The two people arrived at Yuancheng International Hotel, gathering their belongings to leave.
Sun Zhengyu and Sun Hongxing, along with Zhang Xueli, arrived in the hotel lobby and intercepted Sun Liying and Mo Wenjie.
Sun Zhengyu's face was filled with smiles. "What are you doing, Liying? We haven't driven you away. You're still the general manager of Yuancheng International Hotel. No one can replace your position. We all know we were wrong and hope you'll forgive us. We came here to discuss passing the leadership position to you. What are you packing your things for?"
Sun Liying said indifferently, "I have already said that I am no longer a part of the Sun family and will have no connection with the Sun family in the future. As for the kindness you speak of as parents, I will repay you, but that is for another time, not now. When I have money, I will compensate you."
Upon hearing this, Sun Zhengyu was filled with regret. "If it weren't for my blindness, this immense wealth would be our family's."
Now, with one stroke of luck, their prosperity and splendor have slipped away from them, and it is too late to regret.
Mo Wenjie smiled and asked, "Liying, what do you think is an appropriate amount of compensation for their nurturing?"
Sun Liying looked at Sun Hongxing and Zhang Xueli, who had raised her. "They raised me, and I've also earned a lot of money for the Sun family. If it weren't for their insistence on pushing me into a firetrap this time, I would have certainly earned ten billion or even a hundred billion in the future. Personally, I think ten billion is enough to repay their raising me. They let me marry the Tan family, which got them an investment of ten billion. It's also equal to what they think I'm worth in their eyes—ten billion. Therefore, when I have money, I will give them ten billion."
Hearing this, the faces of Sun Zhengwu and the couple Sun Hongxing turned extremely unpleasant, reddening to a degree that made them look flushed. However, they dared not lose their temper now. The man by her side was far too intimidating; a single word from him could send someone to perdition for life. Who in their right mind would dare to offend him?
Mo Wenjie pulled out a credit card and said, "Liying, this card has ten billion. Give it to them and settle the matter once and for all. From now on, there will be no further entanglement."
Sun Liying said: "How can I use your money, Wenjie? I want to earn money myself and give it to them."
Mo Wenjie smiled and asked, "Are you sure you want to be so clear-cut with me?"
Sun Liying blushed and said, "How much money do you have? You should keep it for yourself to buy a house and get married. You have so many women, a small house wouldn't be enough. Even if you buy a big villa with this ten billion, there won't be much left over."
Mo Wenjie shook his head and said: "The money for buying a villa is available. Everyone can buy ten to eight sets of villas, and it's still not enough."
Sun Liying looked at him with disdain in her eyes, "You just keep bragging, how much money do you have to blow such a big bubble?"
Mo Wenjie said, "I'm not sure exactly how much money I have, but it should be in the range of two to three trillion yuan."
Sun Liying stared at Mo Wenjie in shock, her voice filled with disbelief, "Wenjie, are you serious?"
Mo Wenjie said, "Why should I lie to you? There's a card machine here if you don't believe me, just try to swipe it and see the balance for yourself."
Sun Liying took the credit card and looked at Mo Wenjie in disbelief.
Mo Wenjie smiled and nodded. "Go ahead and swipe!"
Sun Liying calmed down and swiped the card. The card machine reported: "Card successful, balance 275,530 billion yuan."
The entire hall was silent as a tomb, the sound of a falling needle could be heard.
Sun Zhengwu slapped his own face, slapping sound after sound. Even hundreds of Tan families put together aren't as impressive as this. The eyes he has are not for seeing people; they are for venting his anger. How regrettable!
After Sun Liying calmed down, she asked, "Where did you get all this money, Wenjie? You said yourself that you wouldn't do anything and wouldn't accept any gifts."
Mo Wenjie tapped her forehead, "What kind of person do you think I am? I have my own pharmaceutical company and jewelry company. I can earn 70 billion yuan by gambling on stones in Myanmar. Do I need anyone to send me money?"
Sun Liying cupped her forehead, "Ouch, that hurts!"
Mo Wenjie said, "That's right. If you don't believe your man again in the future, it will be even more painful."
Sun Liying said, "I know." Then she handed the credit card to Zhang Xueli and said, "This ten billion here has paid off your raising me. Wenjie, let's go!"
The Sun family watched Mo Wenjie and Sun Liying leave, each one's expression one of profound despair.
Sun Liying wrapped her arms around Mo Wenjie's arm, "Wenjie, are you willing to go with me to find my biological parents?"
Mo Wenjie laughed and said, "What are you afraid of? Not recognizing me as your husband?"
Sun Liying said, "I'm not afraid of that at all. If they don't recognize me, so be it. Whomever dares to look down on my man, I'll follow you without hesitation."
Mo Wenjie gently stroked her hair and said, "Let's go to Hunan Province and find out what's going on before making a decision. If they did it out of necessity or had other reasons, we will have no hesitation in recognizing them and taking care of them. But if it's the old-fashioned notion of favoring sons over daughters, I don't think we need to recognize them. If they can abandon you for a son once, they can do it again in the future."
Sun Liying nodded and laughed cheerfully, "We really are on the same wavelength. That's exactly what I thought."
Mo Wenjie and Sun Liying flew to Tan City, Hunan Province.
Sun Liying's nervous expression made Mo Wenjie laugh. What's the point of coming here if you're afraid? Relax your mind and enjoy yourself. Whatever needs to be faced, it always has to be faced."
Sun Liying nodded. "With you by my side, I'm not afraid of anything. How should we go about gathering information?"
Mo Wenjie smiled and said, "Buy some gifts here at the old people's home to visit the elderly and chat with them. Perhaps we will gain all the answers we are looking for."
Sun Liying looked at Mo Wenjie, "You really are a sharp guy. Elderly people like to have someone to talk to and even more enjoy reminiscing about the past. This is a great idea! Let's go buy gifts!"
Mo Wenjie looked at Sun Liying's anxious expression and chuckled, "You really are anxious. We can't rush things. Let's first find out how many elderly people are in the nursing home. We need to buy gifts for everyone. The elderly aren't just about the gifts; they want to feel recognized and know that someone cares about them."
Mo Wenjie found out through inquiry that there were thirty-seven elderly people in the nursing home. They bought thirty-seven gifts and, as they handed each of the thirty-seven elderly people a gift, the thirty-seven seniors held their hands tightly, not wanting them to leave.
Mo Wenjie and Sun Liying were more than happy with the result. It was a perfect opportunity to ease into a conversation with the elderly.
The two spent nearly the whole morning chatting with the elderly. It was not until then that Mo Wenjie broached the subject. "Aunt Guan, from what you've said, you were neighbors with Mr. Duan, the richest man in the area?"
Aunt Guan, recalling the past, looked sorrowful. She spoke of Mr. Duan and his wife, who were indeed kind-hearted people. However, she lamented that life was unfair; good people often did not reap the rewards of their virtues, while evildoers seemed to live for centuries.
Mr. Duan and his wife were generous and kind, treating their neighbors with great care. His younger brother, however, lived a life of debauchery, idleness, and lawlessness, bullying people and making advances to women. Because Mr. Duan and his wife were so considerate to everyone else, no one dared to take revenge on him.
After Mr. Duan's second marriage, it turned out that his wife was even worse than him. The two of them conspired together, befriending many unscrupulous people. This caused trouble for their neighbors and made life a misery for everyone around them.
The following year, Mrs. Duan gave birth to a son. At that time, Mr. Duan and his wife had only one daughter named Duo Zi Ruo. Initially, Mr. and Mrs. Duan treated Miss Duo very well. However, once they had a son, their treatment towards Miss Duo began to deteriorate progressively. In the end, they even attempted to harm Miss Duo but failed in all their efforts.
After Mr. Duan and his wife became aware of the situation, they no longer made any moves to harm Miss Duo. It was not until the celebration for the first birthday of Mr. Duan's second child that things took a turn. There were so many people at the party, with all sorts of individuals present. After the banquet ended, Miss Duo was gone. Mr. Duan and his wife searched for several years without any news of her. Mrs. Duan cried herself into unconsciousness more than a hundred times. Slowly, they began to come out of their grief and move on from losing their daughter.
The neighbors all believed that it was Mr. and Mrs. Duan's handiwork, that was the only way their wealth could end up in the hands of their second child.
Sun Liying couldn't help but shed tears as she listened.
