Chapter 161 Seriously Ill
The entire film crew had done admirable work this time. The provincial inspection team wouldn’t have found the corrupted Tang Qiang if it weren’t for them.
The higher-ups of the television station also commended the film crew and rewarded them for their impressive work. The banquet was a celebratory gathering for the film crew and a way to show gratitude to Fang Liu.
If Fang Liu hadn’t decided to perform surgery on Da Bao, the crew wouldn’t have had the opportunity to continue filming. They wouldn’t have gotten held hostage by Old Man Tang, which eventually led the provincial inspection team to Tang Qiang and his wrongdoings.
The crew should give a large amount of credit to Fang Liu. However, Fang Liu had told the director to refrain from revealing too much information about herself to the public, so they had no choice but to keep some things a secret. “Tang Qiang’s sentence hasn’t been decided yet, but I doubt that he’ll be able to avoid a life’s sentence. He took more than two billion yuan in bribes. For a county’s deputy commissioner to embezzle so much money is mind-boggling. Tang Qiang did a number on the commoners!” The director cursed as he slammed the table.
“Tang Qiang has finally gotten caught, and the television station will broadcast the provincial inspection team’s anti-corruption reports on the news. It will be a warning to other corrupt officials,” the cameraman said sternly.
“Yes, our film will be broadcast soon. We will even expose the crimes of that little b*stard, Da Bao, and warn those who abuse innocent animals. This is simply satisfying!”
The director was proud. When the director thought about how he had become the television station’s leading director, he knew that he was about to reach the peak of his career.
When Fang Liu finished eating, she went home while the others continued to chat. Mo Yu was already waiting outside the restaurant, and when he saw Fang Liu walking down the stairs, he got out of the car to support her.
Fang Liu smiled and said, “Have you been waiting long?”
“Not at all,” Mo Yu said as he covered Fang Liu with a woolen shawl. When the Yu- Liu duo got into the car, Mo Yu looked at Fang Liu deeply. Then he sighed and said, “I didn’t expect you to be the reason for Tang Qiang’s downfall.”
Mo Yu had always thought of Fang Liu as a delicate flower that needed shelter from a storm. But this time, Fang Liu went to the countryside without Mo Yu. Fang Liu completed a difficult task and helped the provincial inspection team capture a corrupt official.
These achievements rivaled the legends that Mo Yu had created in the business world. Mo Yu didn’t mind being Fang Liu’s defense mechanism forever. He was happy to see his wife become stronger and more capable.
Fang Liu thought Mo Yu was teasing her, so she smiled embarrassedly. “I only treated a patient, and the rest was not my doing. The film crew had stayed in the countryside for so long and endured so much pain because of Old Man Tang, yet they still managed to survive until the end.
Mo Yu gently held his wife’s hand and said, “I still think I have the best wife in the entire world. I admire you so much.”
Fang Liu blushed and looked at Mo Yu coquettishly. He hugged his wife and ran his fingers through her hair. Mo Yu then thought of something and said, “Oh right, do you still remember Old Man Gong? He was the one who went to the clinic to cause trouble.”
Before this, Fang Liu always thought that older people were kind, but after meeting Old Man Gong and Old Man Tang, Fang Liu began to think, ‘Evil people were not limited to their age. Even older people can be cruel.’
Fang Liu nodded and said, “Of course, I remember. Did something happen to him?” Mo Yu sneered and replied, “That fool is dead.”
Fang Liu was shocked and quickly asked, “He’s dead? How can that be? He was fine the last time he came to the hospital. Old Man Gong even yelled for a long while without taking a break.”
Mo Yu took his phone out and tapped into a private group text. He tapped on a document and showed it to Fang Liu.
Mo Yu established this group with his team of workers who collected crucial information. Every week, the team would summarize the most valuable information and secrets to report them to Mo Yu.
Some information contained secrets of wealthy families, some concerned the private lives of substantial business tycoons, and other information was about political trends. There were all kinds of files and written documents.
One of the reports this week stated that Old Man Gong was critically ill. Only a few days had passed since Old Man Gong went to Cui Mao’s hospital. Old Man Gong’s condition had worsened over time.
