After my divorce, I started to have good luck-Chapter 1022 - 542: Retribution for Good and Evil (Part 2)

"Oh, you're really quite unlucky." The friend expressed some sympathy, then advised, "This is still manageable; at most, you'd just pay a fine and accept the loss."

Pan Dongliang said weakly, "In the afternoon, multiple departments formed a joint inspection team and came to my company for a law enforcement check."

His friend was completely shocked and couldn't find any comforting words.

After a while, Pan Dongliang sighed deeply and angrily said, "This is the punishment for my own sins, giving birth to that beast, who has now ruined me as his father."

If Pan Zhizheng were in front of him at that moment, he, as his father, might really give him a good beating.

Pan Zhizheng's matters haven't spread yet, and Pan Dongliang certainly has no intention to publicize them, so most of his relatives and friends are unaware.

And the reason he is speaking out now is partly because the truth will come out sooner or later, and partly because his friend is smart and well-read. Pan Dongliang hopes to tell him the truth and get his advice.

Sure enough, after Pan Dongliang spoke, his friend curiously asked, "How is your son's matter related to this?"

Pan Dongliang immediately sighed and described his son's situation, including how he spent money seeking the five victims to write letters of understanding, which was sternly rejected by Han Shipei, and how Chen Feng is Han Shipei's boss.

Finally, Pan Dongliang asked, "Li, I know you're well-read and resourceful, can you help me think of a way. How can I resolve this situation now?"

Li was silent for a while before exhaling deeply and saying, "Pan, to be blunt, your son really is a beast."

These words were indeed harsh. Pan Dongliang himself could call his son a beast, but hearing others do so was jarring.

Pan Dongliang couldn't help but frown but, needing help at the moment, could only sigh and say, "His deeds this time truly are outlandish..."

"Pan, a child's wrongdoing reflects on the father. Your son's actions show that you did not educate him well; in my opinion, most of the blame lies with you. Frankly, if not for our decades-long friendship, just having such a beast for a son, I'd cut ties with you immediately."

"Don't! Li, we're friends for over a decade, and I'm in my most troubled times now. You have to help me."

Hearing Pan Dongliang say this, Li ultimately softened: "Well, what can I do in this situation?"

"You're a talented writer who's written a lot, and you've read many books; surely you have a way. Li, considering our years of friendship, please help me."

After some silence from Li, he still said, "The key now is Chen Feng. First, you need to seek his forgiveness; if you can't get his forgiveness, things will definitely worsen.

Secondly, you must provide sufficient financial compensation to the female victim; do not seek her to write a letter of understanding, but at least prevent her from specifically targeting you and your company.

In my view, the female victim and Chen Feng likely have a good relationship, possibly even an affair; otherwise, he wouldn't go to such lengths to retaliate against you.

Also, regarding your son, I think you better not interfere anymore, lest you provoke the other party further and end up getting caught in it as his father."

This time it was Pan Dongliang's turn to remain silent. After some time, he hesitantly asked, "So, how do you suggest I win Chen Feng's forgiveness?"

"You need to first give the female victim enough financial compensation to win her over, and only then can you satisfy Chen Feng."

"How much do you think I should give her?"

Li pondered for a moment before saying, "Five million."

"That much?"

Pan Dongliang exclaimed in surprise.

"Do you think five million is a lot? In our Xiu Zhou, you can't even buy a decent house with that amount. Besides, without sufficient compensation, do you think the woman would easily accept your goodwill? Could you win her over?"

It seemed quite reasonable, and Pan Dongliang was momentarily left speechless, unable to refute.

Yet he truly felt reluctant about the five million, having grown up through hard times and always being frugal and industrious. Even the pocket money he gave his wife and son was meticulously planned.

Moreover, he had already spent over two million on his son before, and now with an additional five million, it amounted to more than seven million.

As if reading Pan Dongliang's thoughts, Li advised again, "Pan, if you're stingy with money now, in the future, that money might not stay safe. You need to give in order to gain."

"Alright, you're right. Thank you for your advice."

Pan Dongliang continued chatting with Li for some time before hanging up the phone.

Later, he received a more detailed background check on Han Shipei from an external nephew, confirming that her relatives didn't include any influential figures, and her family had been ordinary for three generations.

At this point, he was basically convinced that Chen Feng was the suspect, and the mastermind behind this was indeed Chen Feng.

Now he also somewhat believed that Chen Feng and Han Shipei might be having an affair; because of this, Chen Feng retaliated so harshly against him. After all, his son backstabbed them, and now his son had to go to prison, implicating him as the father in Chen Feng's wrath. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Such was the reality.

Sleep eluded him all night, and he got up early, estimating the time, to call some acquaintances to inquire about the company's inspection status and check if the investigation team found anything.

For enterprise owners like them, the biggest fear was audits and tax inspections. Tax avoidance is an unavoidable challenge. Even if the books seem flawless, a thorough investigation would inevitably find something.

He made over a dozen calls, asking around, but to no avail.

On a group tour abroad, his carefree wife coincidentally called at this moment, rambling on and causing him frustration. After listening to a few words, he directly hung up the call.

After slightly composing himself, he planned to drive to the company for close observation and serve as a stabilizing presence to prevent panic among the staff.

Although Dongliang Electrical Company was undergoing an investigation, it still operated normally. Besides the eight stores temporarily closed in the city, there were twenty-six others operating normally, spread across East Sea Province.

In addition to staying at the company, he decided to personally visit Han Shipei at noon, offering five million to quickly calm her and Chen Feng's anger.

As Pan Dongliang drove, lost in thought, he unknowingly reached the company entrance.

As the car stopped and the electric gate began to retract, a loud bang suddenly erupted, and he felt the world spinning as the entire car tipped and rolled over.
