Chapter 496: Decisive Evidence
He first spread some rumors through the media, suggesting that Gao Yuliang had problems. This move immediately caused an uproar, and public opinion expressed concern and doubts about Gao Yuliang.
Gao Yuliang was so angry when he heard the news that his face turned blue. "Zhao Lichun, you are slandering me!" he said angrily.
But Zhao Lichun ignored Gao Yuliang's anger. He continued to intensify his efforts, trying to put Gao Yuliang into deeper trouble.
Chen Yanshi and Chief Prosecutor Wang were worried when they saw this. They knew that Zhao Lichun was trying to divert attention and disrupt their plans.
"We can't let Zhao Lichun succeed. We must submit our evidence as soon as possible and let the truth come to light." Chen Yanshi said firmly.
Chief Prosecutor Wang nodded and said, "Okay, we will go to the relevant department tomorrow."
However, just before they were about to take action, an accident happened. Chen Yanshi suddenly received an anonymous call, and the person on the other end of the phone warned him that if he dared to continue investigating Zhao Lichun, it would be detrimental to him and his family.
Chen Yanshi's heart tightened, he knew Zhao Lichun had already started to attack him. But he was not frightened by this threat, instead he became more determined.
"I, Chen Yanshi, have never been afraid of threats. Zhao Lichun, the more you act like this, the more it shows that you are guilty. I will definitely make you pay for what you have done." Chen Yanshi said to the person on the other end of the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yanshi immediately told Chief Prosecutor Wang about the situation. After hearing this, Chief Prosecutor Wang's face became even more solemn.
"Old Chen, our current situation is very dangerous. Zhao Lichun has begun to use any means necessary, and we must be more careful," said Chief Prosecutor Wang.
Chen Yanshi nodded. "I know. But we cannot back down. We must believe that justice will eventually triumph over evil."
Chen Yanshi and Chief Prosecutor Wang were sitting in the office, the atmosphere was solemn. Chen Yanshi frowned and was the first to break the silence.
"Old Wang, Zhao Lichun is desperate. Does he think that threats can make us back down? Humph, impossible!" Chen Yanshi's tone was firm and angry.
Chief Prosecutor Wang nodded slightly and said with a worried look: "Old Chen, we really can't retreat, but the current situation is more complicated than we imagined. Zhao Lichun has been operating in Handong for many years and his power is intertwined. We have to be careful with every step we take."
"I understand, but we can't give up just because of difficulties. What about the people who were harmed by Zhao Lichun and his men? We must seek justice for them." Chen Yanshi slammed his fist on the table.
Chief Prosecutor Wang sighed, "Old Chen, you are right. We must find a way to deal with this threat now. We cannot let Zhao Lichun succeed."
"Hmph, if Zhao Lichun dares to attack my family, I will fight him to the death." Chen Yanshi's eyes were filled with anger.
"Old Chen, don't be impulsive. We have to think long-term. Now we must first ensure the safety of our family. We can arrange some police force to protect them secretly." Chief Prosecutor Wang analyzed calmly.
Chen Yanshi nodded: "You are right, we cannot let our family get hurt. Also, we must submit the evidence tomorrow, we can't delay any longer."
"But Lao Chen, Zhao Lichun will definitely try every means to stop us. We have to be fully prepared." Prosecutor Wang said worriedly.
"No matter what means he uses, we must not be afraid. Justice will eventually triumph over evil." Chen Yanshi clenched his fists.
At the same time, Zhao Lichun was in his luxurious villa, looking gloomy. He said to his secretary: "Chen Yanshi and the prosecutor are really difficult to deal with. They dared to go against me."
The secretary said cautiously: "Secretary Zhao, they are preparing to submit the evidence now. We must quickly find a way to stop it."
Zhao Lichun snorted coldly: "Humph, do they think they can succeed so easily? I have arranged people, as long as they dare to submit evidence, they will never succeed."
"Secretary Zhao, the threats from Chen Yanshi don't seem to have worked. He is still very determined," said the secretary.
"Then increase your efforts. I don't believe he is not afraid of death. Also, keep an eye on Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei. If they dare to turn against us, I will not let them off." Zhao Lichun said viciously.
Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei were also nervously discussing countermeasures. Qi Tongwei said anxiously: "Teacher, the situation is not good now. Zhao Lichun has dragged us into the water."
Gao Yuliang frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Tongwei, we can't panic now. Zhao Lichun wants to use us as scapegoats. We must find a way to get rid of his control."
"But teacher, what can we do? Public opinion is paying attention to us now," Qi Tongwei said helplessly.
"We must find evidence as soon as possible to prove our innocence. At the same time, we cannot let Chen Yanshi and others submit the evidence." Gao Yuliang said.
"Teacher, should we send someone to stop Chen Yanshi and the others?" Qi Tongwei asked.
Gao Yuliang hesitated for a moment and said, "No, this is too risky. We can't confront them directly. We have to think of other ways."
Chen Yanshi and Chief Prosecutor Wang continued to discuss countermeasures. Chen Yanshi said, "Old Wang, we can contact some media friends to expose what Zhao Lichun did and let public opinion put pressure on us."
Chief Prosecutor Wang's eyes lit up: "This is a good idea. But we have to be careful, Zhao Lichun will definitely find a way to suppress the media."
"No matter how he suppresses it, the truth cannot be covered up. We must let more people know the true face of Zhao Lichun." Chen Yanshi said firmly.
As time went by, the competition between the two sides became more and more intense. Zhao Lichun constantly sent people to monitor the every move of Chen Yanshi and Chief Prosecutor Wang, trying to find an opportunity to stop them. Chen Yanshi and Chief Prosecutor Wang were also carefully preparing to submit evidence, and actively contacted the media to expand the influence of public opinion.
Gao Yuliang and Qi Tongwei were secretly looking for a way to get out of this situation. On the one hand, they tried to distance themselves from Zhao Lichun, but on the other hand, they were worried that Chen Yanshi and his men would find evidence against them. Qi Tongwei even began to consider whether he should confess to the organization and seek a lighter sentence.
"Teacher, this is not a solution for us. Why don't we confess to the organization?" Qi Tongwei said to Gao Yuliang.
Gao Yuliang glared at him and said, "You are so confused! Do we still have a chance if you confess now? We must find a way to turn the situation around."
On the other hand, Chen Yanshi's family also felt tremendous pressure. Chen Yanshi's son Chen Hai was worried about his father's safety and persuaded him to give up.
"Dad, Zhao Lichun is too dangerous. You will put yourself and your family in danger by doing this." Chen Hai said.
