Are You Crazy? He’s only an Intern Lawyer?
Chapter 482 - 478: The Final Blow, Death of Qian Moli

Chapter 482: Chapter 478: The Final Blow, Death of Qian Moli

Time rewinds to 20 minutes earlier.

In a ward of Dongfang Capital City Hospital.

On the hospital bed, Zhan Qingze took a washed apple and bit into it.

The crisp flesh, interspersed with a mix of sour and sweet juice, burst into his mouth and was swallowed in one gulp. How exhilarating it was.

Gulp, gulp...

The apple was quickly polished off.

He was in a good mood and ate quickly.

"Lawyer Zhang, are you serious? I can be discharged? I don’t need to recuperate for another week?"

After glancing at the calendar in the ward, then at his phone, Zhan Qingze still could hardly believe it.

Although he was already able to move around on foot, the doctors had told him he could rest for another week if he wanted to.

Because once he was discharged, the Financial Bureau would take him directly for a public trial.

So Zhan Qingze was feeling a bit uneasy.

"Relax, after today, everything will be over."

Zhang Wei gave him a reassuring look; the case was actually already concluded.

"Come on, there’s one last thing to do, deliver the fatal blow to them!"

As Zhang Wei spoke, he unlocked his phone, tapped a few times, then handed it over.

Zhan Qingze cautiously took it and saw that it was a video on the screen.

"Send out this video, and everything will be over."

"This video..."

After just a brief glance, Zhan Qingze saw the woman Qian Moli appear in the footage.

"This is..."

"This is the final stab, and it must come from you, the victim. Otherwise, you probably won’t feel good about it, right?"

Zhang Wei said, looking at Zhan Qingze with a smile.

"The trial has already ended. The only person who could be taught a lesson in court was Qian Moli. If I were to reveal this video in court, the defense would surely question its source, which would be a big hassle to explain. But if it’s cleansed through the internet, it’s a whole different story."

"The anonymity of the internet provides me protection; at least the Zhang Family can’t find out it was me who posted the video. And once the video spreads online, what Zhang Dihu and Qian Moli need to worry about isn’t questioning the authenticity of the video, but rather how to deal with this situation."

"But sadly for them, this situation is unsolvable!"

The smile on Zhang Wei’s face grew wider: "To quote what the prosecution loves to say, this case is now ironclad evidence!"

Seeing this, Zhan Qingze also solemnly nodded his head.

"Go to hell, trash woman, trash Lord Tiger, all you garbage who ruined me, I won’t let any of you get away with it!"

A touch of madness appeared on his face as he pressed the send button for the video.

The video was uploaded, and with the help of some nefarious forces, it spread like a virus across the internet.

"Lord Tiger, we’ve bagged 20 billion this time, how are you going to reward me?"

"Hahaha, you’re my precious baby, you can have whatever you want!"

"Then good, I hope you can stay with me every day~"

"No problem at all, I’ll be with you every day..."

In the video, the two people hugging each other were still engaging in lovey-dovey talk.

But for those who saw the video and understood the full story behind it, they couldn’t help but clench their teeth in anger.

billion, that’s a full 20 billion!

How many families, how many investors’ hard-earned money just got swindled by this insidious couple?

It’s one thing to take the money, but to then shamelessly claim innocence and state a willingness to cooperate with the investigation, to bring the real culprit to justice.

Thief crying "Stop the thief"?

Hypocrisy!

Too damn hypocritical, treating everyone like fools?

In any case, the video went viral across the internet.

And with the hot search list preheating over the weekend, many who saw the video saved it and forwarded it urgently, trying to keep the attention high before internet regulation stepped in.

Although the hot search list was disabled, the video took less than 10 minutes to be seen by the entire Dongfang Capital, even most of the netizens across Dragon Country.

This could be said to have become universally known.

But this situation was not a good thing.

At least for the two protagonists in the video, even more so...

...

The scene returns to Zhang Dihu.

The manor had been burnt down, but he was by no means out of options for shelter.

With his status and position, how could he possibly lack a place to stay in Dongfang Capital?

He was now inside a villa in the suburbs with a nice view, even boasting a garden and a swimming pool.

But as nice as the house was, Zhang Dihu’s mood was anything but.

"Lord Tiger, the video has gone viral, and the internet regulators have messaged me back, saying it’s impossible to block completely!"

Sun Kongwen came running back in a panic, having just spoken with the professionals, but unfortunately, the responses he got were far from satisfactory.

"Lord Tiger, although the video features you and Qian Moli and mentions 20 billion, we actually still have some room to maneuver."

Master Tang quickly spoke up, pointing to the smartphone in Zhang Dihu’s hand, trying to come up with some ideas.

"Hmph, what room to maneuver!"

Zhang Dihu snorted coldly, his face filled with annoyance.

If he knew who had sent out the video, he would definitely have that person encased in a concrete coffin and sunk to the bottom of the sea!

To think someone had dared to cross him was utterly intolerable!

"Lord Tiger, your elder brother is calling!"

Another disciple of Master Tang handed over the phone.

"Big brother!"

Hearing this title, Zhang Dihu’s expression grew grave.

"Brother!"

He answered the call with a deeply serious face.

"Ah Hu, something’s not right with this situation, is it?"

Hearing Zhang Tianlong’s voice, Zhang Dihu suddenly found himself at a loss for words.

"Your video with Qian Moli is now known to everyone, and with her mentioning 20 billion in it, it’s hard not to associate it with that 20 billion of Dongxing Securities!"

"Ah Hu, no offense, but that habit of filming videos at your own estate needs to change. This video is now causing an uproar throughout the city, and I’m getting affected by it too!"

Sweat was starting to appear on Zhang Dihu’s forehead.

If anyone else had scolded him like this, he would have thrown the phone away and started cursing.

But the person on the other end was his own elder brother.

"Ah Hu, listen to my advice, we need to handle this matter with more secure means. At the very least, we can’t leave any clues behind!"

"The best way, in my opinion, is to settle things once and for all. Do you understand?"

Hearing the tone of Zhang Tianlong on the phone, Zhang Dihu nodded seriously.

"Understood, big brother!"

The call was disconnected from Zhang Tianlong’s side, and Zhang Dihu put down the phone, his expression growing increasingly complicated.

"Master, help me make a few calls, and arrange things like this..."

Zhang Dihu called Master Tang over and whispered a few instructions in his ear.

"Understood, Lord Tiger!"

Master Tang, hearing the boss’s instructions, naturally understood what he intended to do.

...

Monday evening.

Dongxing Securities, President’s Office.

"Director Wang, those videos on the internet, and the pinned content, can you help me take them down?"

"What, you say you can’t? Do you know who you’re talking to? Behind me stands..."

"Hey hey hey, you dare hang up on me!"

"Director Li, I’m Qian Moli. You know there’s a fake, defamatory video about me on the internet, can you help me... hello, Director Li?"

"Director Zhou, can your company’s forum temporarily block some things? Yes, that video... What, you can’t do it, you can’t ban it? You... hello?"

Qian Moli was also busy trying to find a remedy through her network of contacts.

Her tone on the phone went from arrogant at first to pleasant and even somewhat servile, before finally becoming sharp, frantic, and hysterical.

Because all the responses she got were that it couldn’t be banned.

The video was being shared like wildfire, and even if you banned this particular one, there were others sharing it.

The source of the video was untraceable; you could ban one person, but could you ban thousands upon thousands of netizens?

And banning such material could easily provoke discontent among netizens, with more severe repercussions due to a stronger backlash.

Moreover, with public sentiment wrought up and online opinions flying all over, trying to ban the video at this time would only make you a target for the collective ire of the internet community.

So, letting things take their course was best.

As for helping Qian Moli?

If you’re already a drowning dog, we’re already doing well not to kick you. And yet you seek our help? Dream on.

Qian Moli tried all her contacts, only to come back empty-handed.

She slumped over her desk, behind her a spotless huge French window.

Regrettably, the beautiful night view outside the window held no allure for her at this moment.

"Dinglingling!"

At that moment, the desk phone in the office rang.

Qian Moli saw the phone ringing, a flicker of excitement crossed her face, as if a drowning person had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Hello, Lord Tiger, come and save me quickly!"

"Mm, I’m on my way."

Qian Moli had just called for help, and the response came from the other side right away.

Qian Moli was thrilled, Lord Tiger was coming to save her.

Soon, the office door opened, and Lord Tiger arrived at the top-floor office with Master Tang and others.

"All of you, go out!"

He waved his hand to dismiss Master Tang and the others, who all left the office.

In the office, only Zhang Dihu and Qian Moli were left.

"Lord Tiger!"

Now that they were alone, Qian Moli couldn’t hold back any longer, tearfully rushing towards the man in front.

Her only man, the long-standing support behind her, without whom she couldn’t have become the president of Dongxing Securities.

"Moli, this time it’s a bit tricky..."

Regrettably, Zhang Dihu sighed.

"Lord Tiger, what nonsense are you talking about? Is there anything in Dongfang Capital you can’t handle?"

"Indeed, if it were an ordinary issue, I could handle it myself, but even my big brother finds this time challenging!"

"Your big brother, Dragon Lord can’t handle it either?"

Qian Moli showed a look of disbelief. If that person couldn’t handle it, it seemed impossible.

In all of Dongfang Capital, was there anything that person couldn’t solve?

"Lord Tiger, isn’t it just a video?"

Qian Moli couldn’t understand how a mere video could trigger such serious consequences.

"How about we hold a press conference tomorrow to denounce the video’s content as fabricated, as fake, what do you think?"

"Mm, that’s a good idea."

"Then, Lord Tiger, we have agreed to deal with this together tomorrow, to minimize the impact of the video?"

"Very good, handle it together."

Hearing her man agree with her, Qian Moli was very happy.

"Lord Tiger, you’re so kind, now you’re the only one I can rely on..."

"Moli, so am I."

Zhang Dihu said, walking to the window, enjoying the view outside.

"Do you remember? Originally, there was a wall on this side of your office, but you liked the view, so I had it designed like this."

"Yes, Lord Tiger, you still remember that, I’m so glad."

Qian Moli walked to Zhang Dihu’s side, leaning against him.

Zhang Dihu also closed his eyes, enjoying the moment, the two of them sweetly and intimately embracing each other.

"Moli, how many years has it been since you followed me?"

"11 years, 3 months, and 7 days!"

Almost subconsciously, Qian Moli blurted out.

"Is that so, you’ve been with me for 11 years, you’ve worked hard."

"Being with Lord Tiger is not hard work!"

"Come, join me in enjoying the view."

"Okay, Lord Tiger..."

The two went to the floor-to-ceiling window, and Zhang Dihu stretched out his hand to the edge of the window.

"Open for me!"

Suddenly, he shouted fiercely, pressing his palm against the glass window.

This glass, specially used for safety considerations and designed to be bulletproof, now cracked inch by inch under his palm.

Cracks spread like snowflakes, slowly extending in all directions, making a "crackling" sound.

"Lord Tiger, what are you..."

Seeing this scene, Qian Moli was startled and a little scared.

"Moli, forgive me!"

But Zhang Dihu only kissed Qian Moli’s forehead apologetically, then, hugging her, suddenly exerted force.

"Lord Tiger, you... no, don’t-"

Qian Moli was horrified, but her body was pushed toward the window by an immense force.

And at this very moment, the window had completely shattered, and even the slightest collision could lead to...

Bang!

The window shattered into snowflakes, and a figure fell from the hundreds-of-meters-high office, accompanied by countless glistening particles.

"No——"

A scream sliced through the night sky, but tragically, the sound faded with the descending floors, until it vanished completely.

A life thus came to an end in the present.

Zhang Dihu stood in front of the broken floor-to-ceiling window, staring at the barely visible ground below for a long time.

"Sigh, Moli, I will remember you, after all, you helped me one last time."

Zhang Dihu said so, then called out.

Master Tang and his disciples respectfully entered.

"Lord Tiger, is everything taken care of?"

"Yes, clean up around here, erase the traces, and you should know the other details!"

"Yes, we understand!"

"Then that’s that. Remember to have someone from Dongxing Securities announce tomorrow that everything is to be pinned on Qian Moli. Take care of the rest!"

Zhang Dihu left, departing from Dongxing Securities, leaving behind Master Tang and the others to deal with the aftermath.

...

Zhou Er, morning.

"Shock, Dongfang Capital’s Female Entrepreneur Perishes—Another Suicide?"

"Qian Moli’s Confession Exposed, All Her Own Scheming?"

"The Truth Behind 20 Billion; Female CEO Pays With Her Life, But Will You Forgive Her?"

"Zhang Wei Wins Again, Opponent Once More Chooses Suicide, Homicide Lawyer’s Reputation Is Well-Earned!"

"Defying the Heavens, Homicide Lawyer Adds a Terrifying Victory, Who’s the Next Victim?"

"PentaKill, That’s Five Kills—Is This Really the Record of an Intern Lawyer?"

"The Homicide Lawyer from Dongfang Capital, Truly Terrifying Indeed!"

In the morning news of Dongfang Capital, the headlines had changed.

Speaking of last night’s biggest event, naturally, it was the news of Qian Moli’s suicide.

Another leap from a building, another suicide, and very coincidentally, it happened after a lawsuit with Zhang Wei.

These coincidences, put together, inevitably provoked wild speculation.

Was this Zhang Wei really the Homicide Lawyer, with a Death Note in his hands?

To be his adversary, was it to invite calamity?

However, first thing in the morning, Dongxing Securities also issued a statement.

They even held a press conference, announcing on the one hand the news of President Qian Moli’s suicide, and on the other hand confessed without any qualms about embezzling 20 billion from investors.

The conference also made it clear that the embezzlement of the 20 billion in funds was solely Qian Moli’s doing, framing Zhan Qingze was also Qian Moli’s idea, and it had nothing to do with anyone else.

Inside the company, they found a "confession letter" in Qian Moli’s personal safe.

Qian Moli had documented all the crimes she committed in this "suicide note."

It was just too coincidental.

So coincidental that it’s almost laughable.

Just as they were about to be investigated, a confession letter appears, and at this juncture, one of the relevant parties commits suicide?

One couldn’t help but let their thoughts run wild.

However, Zhang Dihu also knew that a single suicide note might not be enough to divert attention. Thus, on the back of the note, two characters were heavily emphasized.

Zhang Wei!

Even though Qian Moli had taken her own life, this debt was counted on Zhang Wei’s head.

At least in the eyes of someone, it wasn’t themselves but Zhang Wei who caused Qian Moli’s death!

Suddenly, the entire Dongfang Capital, besides knowing the ins and outs of Dongxing Securities’ 20 billion case, also became aware of the notorious reputation of Homicide Lawyer Zhang Wei.

This guy’s record was nothing short of astounding!

Some without status might not fear.

But those with status were terrified of encountering Zhang Wei and meeting the same fate as Qian Moli.

Even a successful person of Qian Moli’s stature had fallen; they were certainly no match for Zhang Wei.

All the business people of Dongfang Capital felt threatened.

Meanwhile, the main character, Zhang Wei, was cleaning up a temporary war room inside Zhang’s Martial Arts School, completely unaware of Qian Moli’s demise the previous night.

At the moment, he was actually pondering over how Zhang Dihu would deal with Qian Moli—whether he would consider their past relationship, help her flee the country overnight, or simply engineer a "sudden disappearance" to make her vanish from the face of the earth.

He had no idea that Zhang Dihu, if he decided to act, would only act ruthlessly, not only killing Qian Moli but also seeking to spite Zhang Wei in the process.

Upon the Homicide Lawyer’s name, one more life was added!
