Su Yang opened his eyes and glanced at Liu Jiaqi.
"Mr. Su, I've heard everything. Can you let Liu Shenghai go on my account?"
Liu Shenghai himself pricked up his ears, this matter concerned his lifelong freedom, he didn't want to go to jail.
The female secretary was also very nervous, as she relied on Liu Shenghai as her backer.
Su Yang shook his head, "Liu Shenghai abused his power and wantonly collected illicit wealth, this is one of the charges.
Liu Shenghai bribed the Songhai administrative official, this is the second charge. Coupled with his years of overt and covert coercion, intimidation, and suppression of others, he deserves to be punished for all crimes!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Shenghai's eyes immediately went black.
If he were truly sent to prison, his remaining life would be extremely painful.
He had heard that those who entered that place, even if they didn't die, would be stripped of their skin.
Liu Jiaqi was also anxious. If Liu Shenghai were arrested, then the things the Liu family had done would also be exposed.
"Director Su, even if you don't give me face, you must at least consider Director Shangguan's face and spare our Liu family?"
At this point, Liu Jiaqi could no longer care about so many things and directly brought out her backer.
Hearing Shangguan Yi's name, Su Yang became even angrier.
"Do you think having him support you can save Liu Shenghai? If so, I can only say you're thinking too much!"
Su Yang waved his hand, and the soldiers from the Security Bureau behind him surged forward and apprehended Liu Shenghai.
"Save me... Patriarch, save me..."
Liu Shenghai shouted hysterically, while Liu Jiaqi's chest heaved with anxiety.
She also wanted to save Liu Shenghai, but Su Yang simply wouldn't listen.
"Director Su, perhaps we can discuss cooperation."
"Oh? What qualifications do you have to discuss cooperation with me? Don't you forget who helped you become the family head?"
Su Yang still remembered that Liu Jiaqi had knelt before him, begging him to spare her uncle and to support her in becoming the Liu family head.
Only after Shangguan Yi arrived in Songhai did the Liu family switch their allegiance to Shangguan Yi.
Liu Jiaqi said softly, "Director Su, I can swear that I will be loyal to you. I will help you with anything you want."
"I'm sorry, I'm a petty person and will never forgive those who have betrayed me."
"That's all for today!"
Su Yang dropped a sentence and turned to leave.
Liu Jiaqi's face changed drastically. She hurriedly called Shangguan Yi for help.
...
Cemetery.
Seeing their supervisor being arrested by the Security Bureau, the few staff members panicked.
The thin man from before bowed to Su Yang.
"Director Su, I was blind earlier. We will immediately replace a new tombstone."
"Hurry up!"
Su Yang was too lazy to bicker with these insignificant people. He had already wasted time because of Liu Shenghai, and it was noon.
Zhang Suqin was speechless, "These people are too much if they aren't suppressed."
"Sister Qin, why don't we pay respects to Brother Chen first? The tombstone won't be ready in a moment."
"That's fine too, I'll listen to you."
The two immediately set out wine, tea, and fresh flowers and fruits.
They also burned a large bag of paper money and stood guard silently for over ten minutes.
After finishing everything, the two drove back home.
...
As the Chinese New Year approached, the traffic in Songhai had significantly decreased.
Most outsiders had already returned to their hometowns, and the roads were clear.
After the Lamborghini stopped.
Zhang Suqin suddenly screamed, "Ah... a snake... such a scary snake!"
Su Yang looked towards the villa entrance and saw a bloody cobra.
The blood on the cobra had not yet dried, as if it had just been killed and thrown there.
This was someone deliberately giving him a warning!
There were probably very few people in the entire city who dared to cause trouble at his villa.
It could be the Liu family, or perhaps the Shangguan family.
The cobra was bleeding all over, its flesh mangled, which was quite disgusting.
Su Yang wrapped the snake up and threw it into the trash can.
"You sit in the living room first, I'll go check the surveillance to see who did this."
"Okay, you go ahead."
Zhang Suqin, still shaken, sat on the sofa.
Su Yang went to the secret room and accessed the day's surveillance footage.
Through the surveillance, he saw that a few strangers had thrown a cobra outside his villa a dozen minutes ago.
Judging by their gait and movements, they were habitual offenders and had practiced martial arts, their movements were very agile.
He had never seen these people before, and for a moment, he couldn't guess which faction they were sent by.
It was nearing the Chinese New Year, so it would be prudent to bring in some people to maintain security.
Su Yang took out his phone and dialed Jiang Hei's number.
"Hei Zi, if you have nothing to do, come to the villa and guard it."
"Brother Yang, Shangguan Yi is investigating the whereabouts of five D-class prisoners. It seems he's about to make a move."
Shangguan Yi was finally unable to hold back and was going to make a move.
Su Yang sighed. He had originally planned to deal with Shangguan Yi after the New Year, but it seemed some people couldn't wait.
"Hei Zi, tell them to be careful and not to run around. We'll make any decisions after the New Year."
"Understood, Brother Yang."
...
After arranging things, Su Yang went downstairs to the living room to accompany Yang Mange and the others.
At this time, Yang Mange and the others were making dumplings and tangyuan.
Everyone was laughing and chatting, and the house was filled with various New Year gifts.
Suddenly, there was a festive atmosphere of the New Year.
"Brother Yang, my mom called and said she'll be here tomorrow night, but your grandfather is coming for dinner tonight."
Jiang Wanying smiled slightly, still holding a few couplets and a large lantern.
"My grandfather is coming? Then you all work hard to prepare dinner!"
Speaking of his grandfather, Su Yang hadn't seen the old man for some time.
The last time they met, his grandfather looked rosy and walked much more steadily.
It seemed that with Jiang Wanying's mother taking care of him, he was living quite well.
Su Yang took out his phone and sent out messages one by one, inviting friends and relatives to a reunion dinner tomorrow night.
In fact, Su Yang didn't have many relatives now; instead, he had many friends.
His mother, Madam Zhang, had also been exposed at a previous banquet.
Su Yang thought of Zong Ze, who was far away, and dialed his number.
"Brother Zong, it's been several months. How have you been over there?"
"Alas, don't mention it. There's not a bird in sight here. Every day, besides eating and drinking, I'm training the garrison."
"Then do you want to rush back to Songhai for the New Year and have dinner together?"
"That won't work. I can't return to the mainland without an order. I can only guard the border. If I really went back, the people in the capital would definitely make things difficult for me."
Su Yang nodded, it was indeed very likely to happen.
So many people were coveting the position of Commander-in-Chief of the Garrison, wishing for Zong Ze to commit a crime.
"Alright then, I'll come to the border to find you after the New Year."
Su Yang sighed and hung up the phone.
