Jin Bo?

The two women were taken aback, pondering briefly before recalling who Jin Bo was.

Five years ago, the Jinyang Steel Plant was sued in court by a lawyer named Jin Bo.

It was expected that the steel plant would follow the usual pattern: trial—loss—compensation—lawsuit again.

But...

Unexpectedly, Jin Bo disappeared.

Jin Bo vanished, or rather...he was dead!

"Numerous cases prove that Jinyang Steel Plant doesn't actually care about environmental pollution issues. To them, it's just fines."

"But...why did they kill Jin Bo?!"

Xu Liang ignored the villagers digging up the graves and looked at the two women, questioning them.

At this moment, the two girls were stunned.

Indeed.

The steel plant lost the case, at most paying compensation. But to take the risk of killing a lawyer so openly...

After all, even the police intervened without any reason!

What exactly is their motive?

If it was intimidation, why return to normal litigation after killing Jin Bo?

"Isn't this very unusual?"

Saying this, Xu Liang paused, and before the two could speak, he continued:

"Moreover, from February until now, it's been more than a month."

"Sunzhou is still suppressing the case...I don't think those investigating the case are fools."

Xu Liang has always been puzzled by Sunzhou's attitude.

They should be investigating the case.

Yet, strangely...

Still no result as of now.

In this situation, Xu Liang had three guesses.

"First, Luo Jun has someone backing him, but that's unlikely, otherwise it wouldn't have been filed for investigation."

"Second, Sunzhou indeed lacks ability, as they haven't completed the investigation after more than a month."

"Third..."

Xu Liang paused, suddenly speaking:

"They're...investigating another place!"

"And this place...is even more severe!!!"

Another...another place!?

And more severe?

Coupled with what Xu Liang just said, there's something suspicious about Jin Bo's death...

"Are you saying Jin Bo's murder was perhaps not due to his investigation into environmental pollution!?"

Yang Ruoxi was smart and quickly understood Xu Liang.

She instantly realized something was amiss.

"Luo Jun committed more serious crimes, disregarding pollution but caring about the crimes committed secretly."

"Jin Bo might have discovered this, which is why the case five years ago was unlike other cases that settled with compensation, but instead, Jin Bo was killed by Luo Jun."

"And now the people in Sunzhou have also realized this..."

Hearing this, she suddenly took a deep breath.

If it turns out this is indeed the situation....

What could be more severe than the current situation, Sun Jin's death, and environmental pollution?

What exactly has Luo Jun done!?

"In any case, we must push the case forward right now."

Xu Liang paused, then looked at Yang Ruoxi.

"As discussed yesterday, you and your junior should first return to Upper City."

Su Yu paused, looked at him with some concern.

"Senior..."

She opened her mouth, but Yang Ruoxi tugged at her sleeve.

Turning to look, she saw the other shake her head.

"Alright, we'll arrive around three in the afternoon." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

"Contact me regarding what you need to do when I arrive."

"About Hanhai City..."

After finishing, Yang Ruoxi looked at the time, realizing the flight was about to be overdue, so she took Su Yu to the airport promptly.

She trusted him completely.

Knowing the other has a smart mind, asking them to return to Upper City must have a purpose, so she doesn't object.

Su Yu gazed back at Xu Liang with reluctant eyes full of worry.

But time waits for no one.

To catch the flight, the two gradually disappeared from Xu Liang's sight.

Before long, seeing them disappear...

"Phew~"

Xu Liang let out a sigh of relief.

Honestly, although he had a purpose for sending them to Upper City, he also wanted to minimize their risk exposure.

Five years ago, Jin Bo's murder represented the depth of the investigation, with Luo Jun daring to act against him.

Xu Liang wasn't afraid, but having the two girls around could be a flaw.

He retracted his gaze and focused on Wang Chao, contemplating for a long time, then said:

"Chao, would you consider returning to Hanhai City first?"

At this time.

Wang Chao was still digging graves!

He was digging the grave of an elderly woman, Zhao Shan's mother, who died ten years ago.

The hospital initially announced death from renal failure, Zhao Shui thought it was due to her age and didn't mind.

Now, Xu Liang had him dig her up.

This was the fourth grave Wang Chao had dug!

He was in high spirits, heard the commotion, glanced back in confusion, then jumped out of the pit, looking at Xu Liang and asked:

"What's up?"

"I said, would you consider returning to Hanhai City first?"

Xu Liang asked.

"It's possible Sunzhou may be less fun next."

"How's it not fun?"

Wang Chao grinned, rubbing his hands, looking at the graves everywhere with a smile on his face:

"This is way more interesting than staying in Hanhai City!"

"Besides, I haven't finished taking my leave."

Xu Liang was a bit speechless, unsure what to say.

Finally, he pondered and decided to keep him around to handle some matters.

"Do you remember the corpses in the mortuary?"

Xu Liang suddenly asked.

The mortuary?

Wang Chao paused, recalling the time Xu Liang took him to 'play' at the mortuary, nodding repeatedly.

"I remember!"

The memory was hard to forget.

No way.

How could normal folks go to a mortuary just for fun if nobody had died!?

"Tonight, someone might tamper with Sun Jin's corpse."

Xu Liang advised.

"Someone tampering with the corpse!?"

Wang Chao was startled, scratching his head, unable to comprehend.

"Not necessarily, but there's a high probability."

Xu Liang said.

"Once a case is filed, the court notifies the defendant. Liu Kun must have read the documents I submitted. If he wants to stop the case from proceeding..."
