Mr. Li, my wife doesn’t want to remarry and secretly gives birth to a baby.

Song Chenggong sighed, "Yes, you're right. Power shouldn't be used to protect personal interests, but..."

Song Chenggong fell silent again.

Li Jingchen looked out the window; sunlight was streaming in.

"The road to light always requires passing through layer after layer of darkness. I heard you say that in an interview."

Song Chenggong's eyes flickered with light and shadow, and a hint of relief appeared on his face.

“I can tell you all this now, and I don’t care about my future anymore. Punishment… even trial, I don’t care. I’m just worried,”

"Once this matter is exposed, it will implicate Qingyi and his mother."

Especially Song Qingyi.

Song Chenggong now realizes that it wasn't Song Qingyi who influenced him, but himself—

As a father, he had a great influence on his son.

"I can understand that feeling, because I feel the same way, with too many worries."

Li Jingchen slowly stood up and walked to the window.

The more you stand, the more you control, the more afraid you become of losing it, because you don't want to burden your family.

This feeling can perhaps only be truly understood by those facing significant difficulties.

“These days I’ve been thinking about how long I have to bear so much blame and how I can best protect the interests of the company’s senior management and my family.”

"But now, I understand."

Li Jingchen turned around, his calm gaze carrying a sense of ease as he looked at Song Chenggong.

"The key to breaking the deadlock is not who is more cunning, but confidence, and... the resolute courage to bring darkness into the light."

Perhaps there will be darkness in the future.

At least for now, the sun is shining brightly today.

Running away is useless.

Song Chenggong was deeply moved, but at the same time, a sense of regret and frustration welled up within him...

“Jingchen, I have had too many misunderstandings and prejudices against you in the past, and I want to apologize to you.”

“You’re right. I can’t stay silent. This matter will only get more attention if it’s made public. It will also allow the truth to be revealed to the public.”

Song Chenggong hopes that Li Jingchen can help him.

Li Jingchen thought for a moment and then said.

“Wang Yi was present at the time; he is now your secretary.”

"That's right, Wang Lidong and his son are both aware of my movements."

“Is that so?” Li Jingchen suddenly had a bold guess.

"What if the deaths back then weren't due to a fire or explosion, but rather homicide, and the fire was deliberately staged to cover up the bodies?"

Song Chenggong suddenly shuddered!

"what do you mean……"

Before him, Li Jingchen's eyes held a thoughtful expression.

“According to my investigation, Tian Fuqiang has also cultivated a good relationship with the Wang family in recent years. Whether it's his position or future prospects, logically, the Wang family shouldn't be afraid of Tian Fuqiang. Because if you're dismissed, Wang Yi will certainly be held accountable as well. Unless…”

"Unless what?!"

In fact, Song Chenggong had already guessed it.

Then.

There must be something that Tian Fuqiang has incriminating evidence against the Wang family.

As the saying goes, when you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

In fact, Song Chenggong had been secretly investigating the identity of the deceased all these years, but to no avail.

If the real reason is indeed related to Wang Lidong...

Wang Lidong was Song Chenggong's classmate back then, and he sought refuge with him when he was desperate.

Song Chenggong took pity on him because he was unemployed and they were classmates, so he made him his driver. Later, seeing how smooth he was in handling affairs, he put him in an office job.

Riding on the coattails of Song Chenggong, Wang Lidong's children are now engaged in business and politics.

"Wang Lidong is an ambitious person."

Song Chenggong said.

"I have never accepted any bribes, but that doesn't mean Wang Lidong and Tian Fuqiang wouldn't. What do you think, Jingchen?"

Li Jingchen said, "Their ultimate target is you, otherwise they wouldn't have tried so hard to use me to sow discord between us. After you fall from power, Wang Lidong and Tian Fuqiang will inevitably join forces."

The consequences were predictable.

After weakening the financial resources of the Dijing Group, Wang Lidong will also expand his family's influence.

This reminds me of Tian Fuqiang's guilty look earlier.

If both the Imperial View Group and Song Chenggong fall, darkness will engulf the entire Southern Imperial City.

Song Chenggong is now panicking.

He knew all too well how wrong it was for him to do nothing in the face of Li Jingchen being besieged.

"Jingchen, I'm so sorry!"

She gripped Li Jingchen's hand tightly.

"I'm begging you, you have to help me, and you're helping the Song family too!"

Seeing Song Chenggong's humble and pleading appearance, Li Jingchen quickly stopped him, "Don't do this, I can't accept it."

Song Chenggong gripped Li Jingchen's hand tightly, "I wasn't open-minded enough before, and I even suspected that you were the one crying wolf about Qinghe's affair. It was all my fault! I almost got you into trouble, I..."

"never mind."

Li Jingchen doesn't want to pursue these matters right now.

"Right now, we must form a united front. We can no longer be suspicious and distrustful of each other, for that would be falling into the enemy's trap."

Song Chenggong nodded solemnly, "You're right. Don't worry, I will definitely do what I should do and say what I should say."

"it is good."

Just in case.

Li Jingchen now needs someone to help him investigate the fire that Song Chenggong mentioned back then.

He's under surveillance now. It's difficult for him to act on his own.

The last time he went back to the Dongshan villa, two cars followed him on his way back to the company.

One can imagine his current situation.

At this moment, Li Jingchen thought of someone.

Ding Zongliang.

Ding Zongliang was his former secretary, but he no longer works for the company or Nan Di.

In terms of professional competence, Ding Zongliang was not bad; he would not have been angry with Ding Zongliang if it weren't for the incident of his son recognizing his relatives.

It would be perfect to have Ding Zongliang help him now.

……

the other side.

Yuan Gang had already ordered his men to pack up his things.

He planned to take Jiang Tong and their three children to Beijing, as Li Jingchen had instructed him to do.

The plane from Nandi to Beijing is about to take off.

Jiang Tong was distracted. After the child boarded the plane first, she suddenly spoke to Yuan Gang.

"Dad, you take the sheep, they can go first. I have some things to do, I'll go over later."

Yuan Gang said, "Then we'll wait for you. You can fly a little later, it's okay."

Jiang Tong said, "Never mind, I still have some work to do. I'll be there when I'm done. You guys go ahead!"

"Okay then. Call me when you're leaving."

Jiang Tong hummed in agreement and watched Yuan Gang leave.

Jiang Tong did not board the plane.

For some reason, she started feeling extremely anxious last night and had nightmares.

I have a feeling that something is about to happen.

If he leaves now, she won't feel at ease leaving Li Jingchen...

Jiang Tong turned and left the airport.
