The person in the passenger seat turned around to look at Luo Jun.

Under the light, the face was revealed, it was... Liu Kun!

"Boss, about the workers..."

Liu Kun tentatively probed the other's intentions.

"Give them some money for now, keep them quiet..." Luo Jun said casually while resting with his eyes closed.

Yes, just as Zhang Fei had predicted.

This gathering for demanding wages was naturally a show orchestrated by him!

Facing Luo Jun, Zhang Fei could be tough.

But when facing that group of workers... no matter how tough Zhang Fei was, he could only relent.

It's just that...

"Has there been any changes in the case?"

In a moment of distraction, Luo Jun suddenly spoke.

He recalled that in the afternoon, Zhang Fei was suddenly called out, and when he returned, his face was extremely grim.

Hearing this.

Liu Kun quickly spoke up, "Yes!"

"Boss, someone has filed a complaint with the autopsy report of a Huangyan Village resident!"

"The court has registered the case, and among the companies sued... is Jinyang Steel Plant!"

Upon hearing this.

Luo Jun instantly opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.

Jinyang Steel Plant was, of course, his factory; suing the factory was equivalent to suing him.

Most crucially...

"Where did they get the autopsy report from?"

Luo Jun furrowed his brows, feeling that things had deviated slightly.

Apart from those involved in the judiciary, no one understands the law better than the person committing the crime!

He knew clearly the impact of his actions on Sunzhou, so he understood what measures Zhang Fei and others might take!

Sunzhou City was bound to investigate the case, but when the case wasn't clear...

They would never let the case be open and visible!

Thus, Sun Jin's body was still at the funeral home, and only the police could see it.

So, where exactly did the other party get the autopsy report from?

"It's... it's someone else's."

Liu Kun's face was also extremely grim, and he clenched his fists.

Someone else's autopsy report? Someone else's body? If it was another body, how was the case filed!?

Before Luo Jun could ask, Liu Kun spoke again:

"That person is a madman!"

"Boss, four months ago, there was a body in Huangyan Village similar to Sun Jin's, but it didn't catch the police's attention and was quickly buried."

"This person..."

The more Liu Kun spoke, the worse his face looked.

When he received the news, he was puzzled, thinking that the city was preparing to take direct action against them.

But who would have thought, after checking it out, he found....

"He dug up that dead body buried for half a year and got the autopsy report!"

Liu Kun said through gritted teeth.

His words left even Luo Jun silent.

Digging up a buried body...

Even Luo Jun himself didn't expect things to take such a turn!

But...

"What about that matter?"

Luo Jun suddenly asked.

"Did that lawyer... uncover that matter?"

Which matter?

The most serious issue concerning Jinyang Steel Plant!

But similarly, it was also because of this issue that Luo Jun went from being a scrap collector to founding Sunzhou's largest steel plant!

How did he do it?

Back then, he acquired a batch of extremely cheap and very special steel, which he then turned into construction materials for various industries, the massive profits giving him the initial capital.

As for how special this batch of steel was...

Let's just say, once investigated...

Luo Jun wouldn't be able to escape even if he had ten heads!

The pollution in Sunzhou, on the surface, was the issue of various chemical plants, but the most serious was this matter!

"Zhang Fei and the others might have realized this, suspecting that the environmental pollution was more than just discharge, that's why they've been digging deeper until now."

"While I was away, how did that lawyer, and Zhang Fei fare in their investigations?"

Luo Jun asked.

He took a deep breath and asked heavily.

Liu Kun shook his head in response:

"The batch of steel doesn't show any issues on the surface, now it's been more than ten years, it basically doesn't cause anyone to fall ill, and it's undetectable."

"Unless..."

Saying this, he paused slightly, recalling a fellow who died miserably.

"Unless that lawyer back then?" Luo Jun suddenly asked.

Liu Kun nodded.

Yang Ruoxi had once told Xu Liang.

Five years ago, Jinyang Steel Plant had been sued by a lawyer named Jin Bo for the same environmental pollution reasons.

The other side had been investigating longer than Xu Liang, but... just before the court session, he suddenly disappeared from this world.

The public speculated that it was Luo Jun's doing.

And indeed it was.

The person... was killed by Luo Jun!

"Heh, he deserved to die, investigating the discharge was fine, but he had to drag in the steel!"

Luo Jun's eyes flashed with a hint of ferocity.

"No need to worry about him."

"That person is already dead, the evidence is all gone, just focus on keeping an eye on the new lawyer."

Jin Bo was killed by him.

If it were merely about pollution, Luo Jun wouldn't bother arguing with them, even if he won the lawsuit, it would just mean a bit of compensation.

That amount isn't even enough for a meal!

But, unfortunately, Jin Bo discovered halfway through that a batch of steel was the real issue...

This incident touched Luo Jun's raw nerve.

Far more than environmental pollution, it drew his attention!!!

Since they were investigating, they genuinely found evidence, and Luo Jun... might as well kill the person to finish it once and for all!

"Alright, I estimate."

Liu Kun nodded.

Then he paused, thought about the current situation, and said:

"Boss, should we stop him from filing the case?"

Luo Jun replied casually:

"Do as you see fit."

Hearing this.

Liu Kun nodded.

Although Xu Liang has already filed the case, but...

They didn't file it based on Sun Jin's autopsy report.

To push the case further in court, they must investigate Sun Jin.

So, in that case...

"Go all the way, destroy Sun Jin's body!"

Liu Kun squinted his eyes, looking extremely fierce.

As for that lawyer...

"Should we..." Liu Kun made a hand gesture across his neck.

Luo Jun paused, contemplating, and finally asked a question.

"Does he know what's good for him?"

Liu Kun recalled how, back in the hotel lobby, he had offered four million, yet the man remained unmoved, so he shook his head.

"The same as Jin Bo."

The same as Jin Bo.

That means he can't be bought...

Hearing this, Luo Jun couldn't respond for a long time; after a while, he suddenly said:

"Sunzhou... cannot have a second Jin Bo!!!"

Liu Kun paused, then understood.

"Understood."

After saying that.

The car drove out of the official building.

...

...

"The case is filed, I estimate they'll make their move soon!"

March 10th. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

In the morning, eight thirty.

Huangyan Village, on a barren mountain.

At this time, the mountain wasn't desolate, of course, not because it had plants.

But because there were more than a dozen people on the mountain!!!

Who are these people?

They are villagers from Huangyan Village.

What are they doing?

Digging graves...

Wang Chao watched the scene of more than a dozen people continuously digging graves in front of him, his eyelids twitched repeatedly.

On March 9th, after Xu Liang filed the case, he took further action.

What action?

Push the court to investigate the case!

How to push?

With more evidence, more comprehensive information!

"Let's not think about Sun Jin's side, it's a different department, even dragging it out for a month won't get you the report."

That's what Xu Liang said at the time.

He decided to investigate when the pollution started, to calculate the scale and extent of the pollution!

"Should we expand the case?"

By the side of the mountain.

Yang Ruoxi and Su Yu hesitated for a moment, then quietly asked.

"Looking at it now, Sunzhou seems intent on suppressing the case, why don't we take advantage of the filing and try to amplify public opinion directly?"

"The higher the better!?"

Xu Liang pondered for a moment, without rejecting it.

"Expose when the time is right."

"When is the right time?" asked Yang Ruoxi.

"When Sunzhou starts to support it!" Xu Liang's eyes sharpened.

He now sensed something was off.

Jinyang Steel Plant.

It's not like they haven't been sued for environmental pollution before.

Because for a company, it's not really a big deal, under normal circumstances, it just means compensation and the matter is settled.

The problem is serious now only because someone died.

But...

"Has Jinyang Steel Plant ever lost a case?"

Xu Liang suddenly asked in return.

The two girls paused.

Two days ago, Xu Liang had them investigate the steel mill and chemical plants, as well as cases Liu Kun was in charge of.

These companies had a large number of cases, and most of them were lost, indirectly proving that they didn't care.

But...

"Why..."

"did Jin Bo die?"
