Chapter 30 Can I take the civil service exam?
Chapter 30 Can I take the civil service exam?
When Zhao Meiting was allowed to visit again, her son did not come.
It was her daughter-in-law who came, holding a child in each hand. As soon as she saw her, she looked sad and started to question her.
Zhao Meiting and she looked at each other through the glass.
The daughter-in-law was very emotional and didn't answer the phone. She just danced and talked a lot.
Zhao Meiting just saw her mumbling something, but she didn't hear a word of what she said.
Finally, the staff member who had tried to interrupt several times but failed finally found an opportunity and reminded her, and then the call was connected.
"Mom - what's going on? They said you committed a serious crime and it implicated Shengmin. He was taken away by the police while he was at work yesterday and has not been released yet."
My daughter-in-law had just had a good talk and was now tired. Her emotions had stabilized a lot and she was just sobbing quietly on the phone. She was no longer as excited as before.
"Ah? What did you say? Seungmin was also captured?!"
Fortunately, the old lady was still in good health despite her age and had no history of heart disease, otherwise she would have been frightened to the point of having a seizure.
The daughter-in-law had a lawyer by her side, helping her analyze the situation. If he could be released within 24 hours, it would be a false alarm and not a big deal.
But if after 24 hours, there is still no news about the person, then it is probably over.
This lawyer is capable and has connections.
He asked around and heard some rumors that Xu Xiuli was not only involved in the trafficking case, but also did something deadly.
The whole of Haikou has been in turmoil recently, and it is a turbulent time.
Being locked up for a few years is a small matter, but if you are really sentenced, you may not even be able to save your life.
When Zhao Meiting's daughter-in-law heard that she was going to be sentenced, the first thing she thought of was the involvement of her children. She repeatedly asked her lawyer whether she could still take the civil service exam in the future.
The lawyer was also speechless.
But people in their line of work are well-informed.
I've seen many things that are even more outrageous and explosive than this.
So I didn't lose my composure and continued to teach her legal knowledge with a normal expression.
The visiting hours passed quickly, and just as the daughter-in-law took the child out of the detention center, they received a call saying that Liu Shengmin had been released.
So she hurriedly went with her lawyer to pick the person up and asked what was going on.
Liu Shengmin came out also very angry and kept complaining as soon as they met.
"My mother has done me a disservice this time. I don't know what's wrong with her. She said in prison that she helped that woman surnamed Xu sell drugs... She even made it sound very detailed and even gave away all the buyers... What else could it be? Just a few bottles of broken vitamins and baby formula. The police thought she was cheating. When they checked my bank statements, they saw that all the money was transferred to my account. They interrogated her for a long time. Fortunately, she explained it clearly, but I still have to cooperate with the investigation..."
The lawyer was terrified when he heard this. He knew more inside information than Liu Shengmin and his wife. He also knew that the situation was tense. If anyone was really related to DP, they would be dealt with severely and without mercy.
Fortunately, it was just a misunderstanding. After explaining it clearly and letting the police follow up and investigate for a period of time, once the suspicion is cleared, there is nothing to worry about.
He also worked hard to sort out clues and evidence, doing his utmost to clear Zhao Meiting from the two major cases.
It's really a coincidence that Zhao Meiting was originally only involved in the trafficking case, and had to wait for another case to be tried.
But now she is directly involved in another case, which is like a direct trap. She was dealt with as a priority and was released from the detention center before the New Year.
But the bad thing is that she was reselling drugs and was suspected of child abuse, so it could not be turned into a civil case. The plaintiff filed a complaint and the trial will be held after the New Year.
So this matter is not over yet, I can only go on bail pending trial.
But no matter what, the family can still spend a reunion year together.
It can be considered a blessing among misfortunes.
During the Chinese New Year, the TV broadcast the news that Xu Xiuli and others were sentenced to death for FD. The family was terrified after seeing this and realized that the matter was more serious than they had imagined.
The trial was held after the New Year, and the lawyer argued his case.
But the Bai family had solid evidence. Not only did they have audio and video recordings, they even had several witnesses. It was those poker friends who had promised to help each other and kept their mouths shut. They all testified in court that Zhao Mei had seriously neglected her duties while working as a nanny.
The legal team hired by the Bai family are all top talents, and it is a smooth lawsuit.
In the end, the trial ended in suspense. Zhao Meiting lost the case. In addition to paying compensation to the Bai family, she was also sentenced to two years in prison.
Zhao Meiting was detained in court and put into prison.
But his son felt that the sentence was too heavy. He was dissatisfied with the first-instance judgment and insisted that the Bai family was all-powerful and wanted to appeal.
The judge saw that this was just looking for trouble.
Although the Bai family is powerful and has a say everywhere, they did not interfere in this matter at all. They actively cooperated in submitting evidence and fully complied with the rules and regulations.
You are making such a fuss, aren't you saying that our court is abusing its power and committing favoritism and fraud?
However, the defendant appealed and the court accepted the case in accordance with regulations and laws. After the New Year, various issues came up and the case number had already reached three digits in April. Zhao Meiting's nanny dereliction of duty case had to be postponed.
Zhao Meiting's son has been suspended from his job since he was taken away by the police for questioning.
After the Chinese New Year, Mr. Bai found a reason to fire him.
Having lost their main source of income, Liu Shengmin's family suddenly became financially strapped.
Tens of thousands of dollars have been spent to hire a defense lawyer for Zhao Meiting, and more money will have to be spent when the second trial begins.
Because the family could not afford the high kindergarten tuition, the two children were sent to my wife's parents' home.
Now he relies entirely on his wife's few thousand dollars to pay for the mortgage, car loan and daily expenses, and he can't make any money at all.
If asked to find a job, Liu Shengmin would look down on ordinary jobs. After all, he had worked for Bai's company, so how could he just find a job in a small company?
But any famous company has interconnected networks and information channels, so they could find out what was going on with just a check. Some even wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with the Bai family, so they simply turned him away.
Liu Shengmin does nothing all day long. He either smokes or drinks at home. It is difficult for a person to climb to a higher place, but if he wants to go down, he can fall to the bottom in an instant.
Later one day, he and his brothers were drinking to relieve their sorrow, and he asked a few of his friends to give him advice.
They said that the Bai family was wealthy and powerful, so they must care about public opinion. Ordinary people like them belonged to a vulnerable group, and if there was a commotion online, the public opinion would definitely be in their favor.
When the time comes, you can put the accusation of bullying others, abusing power for personal gain, and using power to oppress others on the Bai family. Then they might even come to you to ask you to suppress the matter.
The more Liu Shengmin thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case. He went home in the evening, told his wife about the matter, and found a time to pick up the two children.
He picked another weekday, when there were the most people around, and brought his children, holding a photo of Wang's father in his hand, and holding up a plastic board with "Give me justice" and "Show mercy" written on it. The big bright red characters were shocking to look at, and he was holding it downstairs of the Bai family building.
As soon as Jiang Zhi came out, they hurried over, bypassed the security guards, knelt on the ground with a plop, and wanted to kowtow to Jiang Zhi, but were stopped by the security guards who came from behind.
At this time, the area was already crowded with people watching the fun, all of them curious about what had happened and watching to see how things would develop next.
