Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Lin Bai found Huo Yanhui in the letter and sent him a message.

“How’s the progress?” Lin Bai asked.

Huo Yanhui quickly replied, “Still collecting evidence. So far, I’ve contacted a few victims of violent demolition.”

“But they all have concerns and don’t dare to sue Shen Wanqing. Maybe they think I’m too young, so they don’t trust me.”

“Although no one is willing to entrust me to sue them, I’ll continue to think of ways to convince them.”

Huo Yanhui briefly explained the current situation.

Lin Bai said, “Shen Wanqing is capable of using all kinds of underhanded methods. I reckon that he has threatened them a lot before.”

“Take it slow. Give them more time to consider.”

“In addition, I’ve obtained some new information. Qingcheng Group had a construction project that was in shambles a few years ago. The owners defended their rights several times but to no avail.”

“Among them, there’s an owner called Zhao Yiming. He’s considered the one who has been scammed the most and is also the one who needs money the most right now. I suggest you start with him first.”

“This is the general situation of Zhao Yiming and that construction project...”

Lin Bai sorted out the reports from the Future News app and the information he had found and sent them to Huo Yanhui.

Huo Yanhui looked through them quickly and sighed, “They are facing financial problems, and they even found out that he has cancer. It’s really too pitiful.”

“I’ll think of a way to contact him and help him defend his rights!”

Lin Bai said, “It’s best to contact him now. I’m afraid that he won’t be able to get over it.”

Huo Yanhui agreed immediately. “Okay.”

“If he accepts it, tell me. I’ll feel more at ease, “Lin Bai added.

Huo Yanhui agreed. Then, he went to look for Zhao Yiming’s contact information.

As a lawyer, it wasn’t too difficult for him to find someone.

Lin Bai held onto his phone and waited. He felt that every second felt like years.

He knew very well that if Huo Yanhui could convince Zhao Yiming to defend his rights through legal means.

In that case, it meant that the tragedy that would be reported in the news in the future would not happen again.

But if Huo Yanhui could not convince him, then nothing would change.

“I hope he can successfully convince him,” Lin Bai muttered to himself.

Huo Yanhui used some methods and quickly found Zhao Yiming’s phone number and called him.

After listening to the ringtone countless times, no one picked up the phone.

He thought that Zhao Yiming couldn’t pick up the phone, so he deliberately waited for a while before calling again.

The result was the same. The ringtone was played again and again, but no one picked up.

Huo Yanhui looked at the time and muttered, “It’s already past one in the afternoon. It can’t be that he hasn’t woken up yet, right?”

“Could it be that he didn’t bring his cell phone with him when he went out?”

Even he himself didn’t believe the latter guess.

Nowadays, it was difficult to move an inch without a cell phone. Who would leave their cell phone at home and go out for a stroll by themselves?

Huo Yanhui patiently waited for more than half an hour before he called the third time.

There was still no answer.

Huo Yanhui couldn’t help but have a bad premonition in his heart.

It was not a good sign for a person who was heavily in debt and suffering from a terminal illness to suddenly lose contact.

He simply followed the address he found and looked for it directly.

It was an old, shabby building at the junction of the city and the countryside. The surrounding environment was dirty and messy, with dirty water flowing everywhere.

If it were not for the cheap rent, perhaps no one would be willing to live in such a place.

Huo Yanhui could not help but sigh in his heart, lamenting Zhao Yiming’s unfortunate fate.

In the past, he always blamed his fate for being an illegitimate child.

Why was he treated coldly and ridiculed everywhere despite being of the same bloodline as the Huo family.

However, compared to Zhao Yiming now, Huo Yanhui deeply felt that the so-called troubles that troubled him in the past were not worth mentioning.

In the face of true suffering, his so-called childhood shadow could only be called pretentious.

Huo Yanhui calmed his emotions and said in his heart, “Zhao Yiming, whether you believe me or not, I will definitely settle this lawsuit!”

“I will definitely use my own abilities to help you get justice!”

Huo Yanhui strode across the dirty water on the ground and went straight to the third floor. He knocked on Zhao Yiming’s door.

“Knock, Knock, Knock.”

No one responded.

Huo Yanhui increased his strength and continued to knock.

“Knock, Knock, Knock.”

“Mr. Zhao, are you at home?”

Huo Yanhui was afraid of disturbing the poor man, so he tried to speak in a gentle voice.

However, the room was still quiet. There was no movement at all.

This made Huo Yanhui start to wonder if Zhao Yiming was actually inside.

But where else could he go if he wasn’t at home?

According to the information provided by Lin Bai, Zhao Yiming had been laid off by the company last month and had not found a new job.

In addition, his current condition was very bad and he did not have the ability to continue working, so there was no possibility of him going out for an interview.

“Could something have happened?”

This thought came out of nowhere. Huo Yanhui’s heart tightened, and he could not help but increase his strength.

“Mr. Zhao?”

“Mr. Zhao Yiming?”

He knocked as he called, fantasizing that there would be someone answering him inside.

However, the room remained silent, and not a single sound could be heard.

Huo Yanhui dialed Zhao Yiming’s cell phone number again.

This time, he could clearly hear the ringtone of his cell phone ringing in the room.

“Did something really happen?”

Huo Yanhui felt increasingly uneasy and decided to call the police.

He would rather have a blunder in the end than miss the chance to save Zhao Yiming.

Just as the 911 call was about to go through, the door next door suddenly opened.

“Are you looking for Old Zhao?”The neighbor next door asked.

Huo Yanhui quickly hung up and replied,

“Yes, I’m looking for him for something, but no one answered after calling for a long time.”

The neighbor next door said, “He left early in the morning. He shouldn’t be back yet.”

Huo Yanhui frowned, the uneasiness in his heart growing stronger.

He didn’t even bring his cell phone when he left for a long time. No matter how he thought about it, it was abnormal.

He said, “I have something very important to talk to him about. Do you know where he went?”

The neighbor next door shook his head. “I don’t know.”

Huo Yanhui wanted to ask further, but the neighbor had already closed the door coldly.

Obviously, if it weren’t for Huo Yanhui’s persistent behavior of knocking on the door, the neighbor next door wouldn’t have bothered to come out and talk to him.

Huo Yanhui knew that he wouldn’t be able to get anything out of him no matter how much he asked. He could only go downstairs resentfully and call Lin Bai to explain the situation.

Lin Bai had already been holding his phone for a long time.

It wasn’t easy for him to get a call from Huo Yanhui, but when he heard this result, he was immediately very disappointed.

However, he was even more anxious about it.

It was already past three o’clock in the afternoon. In less than two hours, Zhao Yiming would start taking revenge on society.

There wasn’t much time left for Lin Bai.
