Chapter 43 - Good and Evil Will Have Their Consequences! Trembling in the Corner

Chapter 43: Good and Evil Will Have Their Consequences! Trembling in the Corner“I’m laughing hard. Those online critics can’t say a word!”

“Haha! Didn’t see that coming, did you? Turns out they are elementary school students!”

“Indeed, sincerity is the ultimate skill!”

“Online critics: You wonder why I’m speechless? It’s because I’ve been hit by sincerity!”

In the live chat room, internet users began to ridicule the group of online critics. Some people hadn’t donated a single cent themselves, yet they still made fun of others for donating less!

What kind of people were they?

Li Xuejing also spoke up: “Whether it’s one million or ten thousand, a few hundred, or even just a few cents…”

“As long as you donate, it’s an act of kindness!”

“Kindness knows no size!”

“Some people have the means to donate more, while others might still rely on their parents and can only spare a few yuan, just like that exceptional elementary school student from earlier.”

“Is it about the money?”

“It’s about contributing love, conscience, and social responsibility!”

Li Xuejing’s impassioned speech immediately garnered rounds of applause.

“The host is absolutely right! Kindness knows no size!”

“Small acts of love can accumulate into great love! Every little bit counts and grains of sand build a tower!”

“The host’s values are spot on! I’m following now!”

At that moment, Li Xuejing’s fan count surged once again.

“Five… five hundred thousand?”

Li Xuejing looked at the number of fans in her backstage and thought her eyes were playing tricks on her. After rechecking and confirming that it was indeed half a million, she was overjoyed. She had reached five hundred thousand fans! This was so exciting! After one more live broadcast, she might reach a million fans. That would put her in the ranks of top-tier broadcasters!

While Li Xuejing was dreaming, there were more questions from viewers in the live chat.

“Host, you haven’t answered me yet. How did Congcong’s mom become disabled?”

“Yeah, and where is Congcong’s dad?”

“I don’t know how Congcong’s mom’s leg became lame, but Congcong’s dad passed away when he was two years old.

Didn’t the host mention that in a previous article? You didn’t pay attention, did you?”

“What? Congcong’s dad passed away when he was two years old?”

“I didn’t pay attention! So Congcong comes from a single-parent family!”

“Poor child, he’s already in a tough situation, and now he has this strange illness.”

As Li Xuejing read the viewers’ comments, she suddenly had an idea. She recalled from her previous conversation with Luo Sanmei that her husband’s compensation had not been settled. The lawsuit was still ongoing, and the compensation was uncertain. Those unscrupulous capitalists took advantage of their status as a single-parent family and were dragging out the case. Could she use her current popularity to help Luo Sanmei get justice?

At the very least, she couldn’t let those unscrupulous individuals escape it!

“Regarding Congcong’s dad, I want to tell everyone the details.”

“On Congcong’s second birthday, his mom received devastating news that Congcong’s dad fell from a scaffolding and tragically passed away.”

“Later, regarding compensation for the work-related fatality, it has never been properly compensated.”

“Congcong’s mom is in a legal battle with those unethical individuals, but they are deliberately stalling, and it’s been three years already.”

Upon hearing Li Xuejing’s statement, the chat room exploded with reactions.

“Damn! These people are absolute scum! Bullying a single-parent family?”

“They’ve gone too far! It’s an outrage! We must get justice for Congcong’s mom!”

“What company is this? So heartless? Expose them! Make them go bankrupt!”

“If a company like this can continue to operate, it’s the responsibility of all the netizens here!”

“I’m a lawyer, and I can provide pro bono assistance to Congcong’s mom!”

“My uncle works in the judicial system. I can have him help with the case.”

The students expressed their strong desire to help Luo Sanmei and get justice for her. Some individuals from relevant professions offered their assistance for free.

“Thank you, everyone.”

“It’s great that everyone has such a compassionate heart.”

“However, we can’t resort to online harassment, or we’ll be no different from those unscrupulous people.”

“We need to use legal means to help Congcong’s mom get justice in accordance with the law and regulations.”

Li Xuejing also reminded everyone to stay calm and avoid engaging in unlawful actions.

Meanwhile, at the Mingren Hospital, in an office, Lu Ming was also watching the live broadcast.

Seeing Li Xuejing’s actions, Lu Ming couldn’t help but smile. This young girl was quite skilled. This move was like a favor falling into her lap. She could genuinely help Luo Sanmei resolve the long-standing compensation case. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ NʘvᴇlFɪre.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Lu Ming began reevaluating Li Xuejing and thought she might achieve great things.

On the other side, in an office of a construction company, Qin Junhong was also watching the live broadcast. He couldn’t help but feel that this situation sounded somewhat familiar. His company had a similar case under review. But it couldn’t be… it shouldn’t be that coincidental.

Qin Junhong shook his head, thinking the world couldn’t be so full of coincidences. In another location, a human resources company, Yu Boda, had just finished a social gathering. Feeling bored, he opened a short video platform to watch a live stream. He wanted to see if there were any attractive young female broadcasters he could interact with.

Over the years, Yu Boda had established a successful career in the human resources industry through his cruelty and cunning. At this moment, he came across a recommended livestream that piqued his interest, so he clicked on it. He arrived just in time to hear Li Xuejing discussing the case related to Shen Ruicong’s father.

“It sounds somewhat familiar.”

“Shen Ruicong? Luo Sanmei?”

“Shen Ruicong…”

“Luo Sanmei…”

“Shen… Shen Hu?!”

“Shen Hu’s family?!”

In an instant, Yu Boda’s alcohol-induced drowsiness disappeared, and he finally recalled this somewhat distant name. Over three years ago, Shen Hu found employment in Qin Junhong’s construction company as a scaffolding worker through Yu Boda’s introduction. Later, due to an accident, Shen Hu had tragically lost his life. At that time, Luo Sanmei had come to their office with her son, Shen Ruicong, seeking compensation for her husband’s death.

Could Yu Boda have compensated them according to standard procedures? It was impossible! If he had been willing to pay, he wouldn’t have been Yu Boda!

Therefore, after delaying this mother and son for a couple of months, Yu Boda and Qin Junhong, under the mediation of a third party, had initially agreed to each contribute 40,400 RMB, for a total of 80,800 RMB, in an attempt to settle the case. However, the determined Luo Sanmei thought the amount offered was insufficient and insisted on pursuing legal action.

Yu Boda’s temper flared. What was this, refusing a face offered? She was just a lowly country woman worth no more than this! Take it or leave it!

Yu Boda decided not to give any more, and he would let her go through the legal process if she dared. As a result, he continued to drag out the case for a full three years. He hadn’t anticipated that this case would be exposed in this manner. Could it affect him?

“Ridiculous! What could this possibly do to me?”

“Who am I afraid of?” Yu Boda chuckled, though it wasn’t clear whether he had genuine confidence or was merely masking his fear.

The following day, Qin Junhong, filled with worry, conducted some research and inquiries, eventually discovering the truth. The case mentioned in the live stream the day before was indeed the one he was involved in. This revelation left him trembling. The mother and son involved in the case were the relatives of an employee he had once hired through a middleman. He dug up the employee’s information as well. The employee, Shen Hu, hailed from Qinghu Township and had been only 29 years old at the time.

Given his young age, under normal circumstances, the death compensation should have started at several tens of thousands. However, he was audacious back then and, with Yu Boda’s persuasion, managed to get the compensation down to 80,800 RMB. However, the mother and son didn’t accept this and took the matter to court.

Over the past three years, the case had been lingering, and he had almost forgotten about it, especially because Yu Boda had been handling it. In all honesty, their actions back then weren’t entirely ethical. But now, he had transformed, and his company had grown stronger. He was doing his best to whitewash his past activities with any criminal undertones. Moreover, his company was on the verge of negotiating a massive project with foreign investors worth billions of RMB. He couldn’t afford any slip-ups. If this stain was exposed, it could affect his interests.

“No, I have to find a way to resolve this as soon as possible,” Qin Junhong thought. It seemed that karma had caught up to him. You reap what you sow.

He intended to meet Luo Sanmei privately and see if he could offer her some money to withdraw the lawsuit. He wanted to minimize the damage.
