What's wrong with this lawyer?!

Ding Yongqiang naturally wasn't very clear about these things, as he had spent the last few years exclusively preparing for the civil service exams, and more importantly, he couldn't have imagined that Ding Deshui would get into trouble.

Why would his dad commit a crime? What on earth happened?

Ding Yongqiang was really getting more and more infuriated, considering the organization department had already made it very clear, after inspection, they believed he wasn't suitable!

This essentially meant he had been eliminated, after years of studying hard, just as he had barely managed to pass the written exam and the interview, only to fall at the political vetting stage.

Just as he was thinking, his cell phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was a call from his mom.

At that moment, Ding Yongqiang couldn't hold back any longer, and as soon as he answered the phone, he said, "Mom, where's dad? Where are you guys?"

On the other end of the phone, in the car, Ding Deshui's wife was a bit stunned because her son's tone was filled with intense resentment and dissatisfaction. What was going on?

However, after glancing at Ding Deshui at her side, she still said, "Your dad and I are on our way home. We'll be home in ten minutes. What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? You ask my dad what he's done, now someone has called me saying my political review wasn't passed, due to major issues with my dad. What exactly is going on!" Ding Yongqiang almost shouted these words.

Upon hearing this, Ding Deshui's wife's face turned pale in an instant, and she stuttered, "I... I don't know, just wait a bit, let's talk when we get back, let's talk when we get back."

In the car, Ding Deshui was originally very excited. In his view, his son passing the civil servant exam was something to celebrate with a big banquet, to entertain guests cheerfully for three days!

Moreover, this was about becoming a police officer in The Capital; it could be said to bring honor to the ancestors.

So he had been feeling like he was getting better, cheerful and elated, when he heard his wife's voice change, and immediately said, "What's wrong? I've told you, it's just fate, there's nothing to worry about, you know."

Ding Deshui's voice was not soft either, and Ding Yongqiang, on the other end, heard it too. He then yelled into the phone, "Let him answer the phone, or I'm going to jump off a building right now!"

With no other choice, Ding Deshui's wife was completely at a loss and could only hand the phone to Ding Deshui, her face full of pain as she said, "It's your son, he... he has something to say to you."

Ding Deshui took the phone and adjusted his state before saying, "What's wrong, Yongqiang? What can't wait until we get back? We'll be home soon."

No sooner had he finished speaking, Ding Deshui heard his son's voice filled with anger.

"Dad, what exactly have you done? What have you done, that they're telling me my political review didn't pass because of you? What did you do!"

Ding Yongqiang was interrogating him; he felt like he was going to lose his mind.

Inside the car, Ding Deshui was completely stunned, muttering to himself, "Because of my affair, the political review didn't pass? The political review didn't pass... I..."

After a long time, he couldn't utter a complete sentence; this news to him was like a bolt from the blue.

He had been thinking about how to celebrate for his son, but in the blink of an eye, it had gone from heaven to hell, and it was because of his own reasons.

"Speak up!" Ding Yongqiang was shouting again on the phone.

Finally, Ding Deshui spoke, his voice hoarse, "Yongqiang, are you sure you didn't pass?"

"What do you think? They've just called to inform me!"

Ding Deshui fell silent again. He didn't know what to say, and at that moment, he started to feel pain all over his body, as if he had just woken from a beautiful dream to face reality.

His wife, seeing Ding Deshui break out in a cold sweat again, quickly took the phone and said, "Yongqiang, can you wait until we get back, please? Your dad... your dad is already in the late stages of liver cancer, with only a few months left to live. Please don't ask him anymore, okay?"

This time it was Ding Yongqiang's turn to fall silent. After a long while, he hung up the phone, his expression appearing as though he was crying and yet seemingly laughing.

Attorney Zhou sitting beside him couldn't stay put any longer; what a mess this was.

So when the car arrived, Attorney Zhou took off, God knows what the situation here might lead to.

Once home, Ding Deshui was helped out of the car and into the house, while Ding Yongqiang also came to help, but without a word, his expression very complex.

After a great effort to lay down, Ding Deshui finally spoke, "Yongqiang, your dad... because of some things, I guess I am going to be imprisoned. But I never expected this would affect you!"

Or rather, Ding Deshui had never thought about the future when he was making money in his heyday.

"A fool wouldn't take the money," was his motto; why miss out on such a good opportunity when everyone was making money? To him, it didn't matter even if he went a bit overboard. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire

This statement sent Ding Yongqiang into a rage once again: "So, it's your fault, isn't it? Why, why not live a good life instead of committing a crime!"

"What am I supposed to do now? I spent an arduous five years, finally passed the exam, but now because of you, I've been eliminated again. What do you expect me to do, tell me, what do you expect me to do!"

Ding Yongqiang yelled frantically, as if he wanted to vent all his frustration and dissatisfaction.

"It's all because of you, all because of you. If it weren't for you, how could I possibly have failed!"

The more he spoke, the heavier his words became, while Ding Deshui lay on the bed with an expression of extreme pain. He felt an icy coldness in his heart and inexplicably thought of a person, Tang Fangjing.

His life had been perfectly good; if not for Tang Fangjing, he would never have gone inside.

After all, it had been so long since Huang Licheng was caught, and no one cared; it was all Tang Fangjing's fault!
