After Lu Yiwei got into trouble, Li Haidong immediately told Liangzi that he was in a hurry to sell the coal mine. Liangzi had been coveting the coal mine for a long time, so he once again bewitched Li Haidong and made up lies to deceive him.
Liangzi said that Lu Yiwei was doomed this time. If something happened to him, Li Haidong wouldn't be able to escape either. Since the other party asked him to sell it, sell it and run away quickly.
Hearing that he was going to jail, Li Haidong panicked and urged Liangzi to help him.
Liangzi said that if he sold the coal mine to him, he could cash it immediately. If he sold it to someone else, he probably wouldn't be able to get the money in a short time. But my price might not be as high as the others.
Li Haidong looked bold on the surface, but he was actually a coward. Hearing that he could cash it in, he didn't care about anything else and agreed readily.
After the coal mine was sold, Liangzi hinted that the name of the coal mine belonged to him, which meant that the coal mine belonged to him. The money naturally belonged to him, and it had nothing to do with others. Even if the other party went through the legal process in the future, there was no evidence, no convincing evidence, and it would still belong to him. This amount of money was enough for him to spend for the rest of his life. Why should he be bullied by others? Moreover, whether Lu Yiwei could get out or not was another matter.
With Liangzi's advice, Li Haidong was suddenly enlightened. But if he really wanted to betray Lu Yiwei, he still couldn't make up his mind for a while.
However, when he saw that there was more than 20 million in his account, he was tempted. Liangzi was right. This amount of money was enough for him to live for the rest of his life. If Lu Yiwei got out in the future, he could just say that he had spent all the money. What could he do to him?
Let's do it! When Li Haidong returned home, he told Mei Jia about the matter. Mei Jia was initially against it, but after hearing that there was such a large amount of money, she was also tempted. With money, there was no need to go to work. The two hit it off and decided to go to the capital that they had been dreaming of for a long time.
As for the house, Li Haidong really didn't know anything about it. It was all handled by Mei Jia. The title deed of the house had been kept by Li Haidong, but Mei Jia had discovered it. When Mei Jia proposed to sell the house, Li Haidong strongly opposed it.
Since she had already taken this step, Mei Jia decided to go all out. She told Li Haidong not to worry about it anymore. She sold the house cheaply and moved her family to Jing City with the money. She wanted to take her mother away, but her mother refused to move, so she could only stay at home.
When he arrived at the capital, Li Haidong's days felt like years. He spent every day in a state of extreme fear. He would often wake up in the middle of the night to see Lu Yiwei standing in front of him with a saber in his hand. He was very regretful. He should not have listened to the words of others and betrayed his good brother of many years. However, there was no turning back. It was too late.
Although he had more than 20 million yuan, he didn't have much left. As soon as he got the money, his brother-in-law, Mei Qiang, came to him and said that he wanted to borrow money to pay off his debt. Without hesitation, Mei Jia took out 5 million yuan and gave it to his brother. In addition to paying off his debt, he also wanted him to do some business.
Life in Jing City was too tempting. It was a luxurious life. Within a few days, Li Haidong made friends with some small gangsters. He drank and gambled all day, went to all kinds of high-end clubs, and lived the life of a rich man in Jing City. After more than ten days, he spent more than 8 million yuan.
In addition, Mei Jia was also extravagant. She bought luxury goods, went to beauty salons, dressed up like a devil, and enjoyed the life of a rich lady in Jing City.
The two of them spent almost all their money in a few days. When he woke up, he looked at his account balance. There was only 4 million yuan left.
4 million yuan was a goal that many ordinary people couldn't reach. If they were frugal, it would be enough to live in Jing City. However, Li Haidong was extravagant. After enjoying the life of an emperor, how could he return to the days of frugality? He still enjoyed the delicacies of the world.
He didn't expect Lu Yiwei to come out so soon. When Lu Yiwei appeared in front of him, he wanted to die. But on second thought, he had spent all his money. What could he give back to the other party? He might as well use the spirit of a local gangster and swallow all the money.
Looking at Lu Yiwei's back view, Li Haidong thought about many things. The figure of them in the orchard all those years ago appeared in his mind. It was so clear and yet so blurry …
On the way back, Lu Yiwei's heart fell to the freezing point. He still couldn't accept this reality. It was a small matter that he couldn't get the money back. But this kind of heartless betrayal was like a knife to his heart. His heart was bleeding, but it was seven to eight years of friendship that was consumed.
The Lu family treated Li Haidong like family. His mother, Liu Cuilan, was even more so. She felt that he didn't have a father, mother, or anyone to love him. She wanted to make up for the regret in her heart and treat him better. But what did she get in return? A dog still knew how to wag its tail, but Li Haidong was completely devoid of humanity. He was a wild wolf that couldn't be tamed.
Back in Jiangdong, Lu Yiwei had a bellyful of anger and didn't know who to talk to. Niu Fuyong definitely couldn't handle it. If that kid knew, he would do anything. After thinking about it, he decided to find Sanjo.
Sanjo was his best friend in college. They talked about everything and could be said to be close friends. Even if they hadn't seen each other for many years, they still had endless topics to talk about. Lu Yiwei used to talk to Sanjo when he had something on his mind. Sanjo saw things from a comprehensive perspective. He could often see the essence through the phenomenon and grasp the core of the problem. Everything would suddenly become clear after he said it, and all the troubles would disappear.
Lu Yiwei went straight to Sanjo's western restaurant. Business was booming, and he was very busy.
When Sanjo saw Lu Yiwei, he didn't care how busy he was. He put down everything at hand and handed it to Monkey. He pulled him to the barbecue stall next door, ready to have a big drink.
Regarding Lu Yiwei, Sanjo had only heard about it recently. However, his connections were limited, and he didn't know much about politics. It was useless to be anxious, and he couldn't do anything. Seeing that he was safe and sound, his heart was at ease. Seeing that he was depressed, he knew that there was something on his mind.
"Come, don't say anything. Let's drink first." Sanjo picked up a large glass of beer and drank it generously.
After Lu Yiwei drank it, Sanjo filled it up and said, "Yiwei, I know about what happened to you. I'm incompetent and couldn't help much. Seeing that you're safe and sound, I'm naturally relieved. Although I don't know much about politics, from my point of view, it's not a bad thing for you this time. What do you think? "
Lu Yiwei smiled bitterly and said, "You're right. It's not a bad thing. It made me see some people and things clearly. Sanjo, I want to ask you, how much do you think friendship is worth in today's society? "
Sanjo was stunned. He took a sip of his beer and said, "How should I put it? It depends on who I'm talking to. For the two of us, friendship is priceless, but for some people, even if it's a penny, they can sell it. Today's society is extremely impetuous. Everything is about profit. People are becoming more and more greedy. They can do anything for money. There are countless similar examples. Why are you talking about this matter? "
Lu Yiwei drank another glass in one breath, opened his heart, and poured out all the hidden words in his heart.
After listening, Sanjo was stunned for a long time. He said, "You said that Li Haidong cheated you of all your money? How is that possible? Didn't you bring up Haidong? "
Lu Yiwei slapped his forehead and sneered, "Sanjo, even the person I trusted the most betrayed me. Who would I trust in the future? It's too scary. I didn't expect Haidong to do such a thing. People are scary. "
Sanjo knew that Lu Yiwei was upset, so he comforted him, "Yiwei, since things have happened, don't be too sad. Spending money to see a person's true colors is a very cost-effective deal. Although the price is a little high, just pretend that it didn't happen. In fact, you should be glad that he revealed his fox tail so early. It's just the price of money. If he didn't show it now, it's very likely that he would do something more serious in the future. "
"In other words, Haidong has been with you for so long, and he hasn't caused any trouble for you. If he did, wouldn't you have to bear the consequences? What's more, the further you go, the more sensitive your identity will be. It's no longer suitable for you to do this. Let's stop here and look on the bright side. "
Lu Yiwei nodded and said, "Sanjo, I understand what you said, but I just can't figure out why it's like this."
Sanjo said bluntly, "Actually, they are using your kindness to wantonly consume your emotions. Frankly speaking, when Pan Chengjun was pushed away, it was a bold test for you by Haidong to see how you would react. And you chose the path that you shouldn't have chosen the most, allowing him to get to where he is today. "
Lu Yiwei thought about it carefully. Wasn't that right? If he had forced Pan Chengjun to stay, he wouldn't have fallen to this point today. But it was too late to say anything.
Sanjo continued, "Do you still remember Monkey?"
Lu Yiwei nodded.
"Monkey could kidnap Pan Chengjun for money, but you chose to forgive and tolerate him in the end. I'm not saying that you didn't do well. If it were me, I would have done the same. But in the officialdom, if you give your opponent a chance to breathe, it is very likely that he will become a tiger blocking your career in the future, isn't it? "
"Back to the matter of Haidong, if you indulge him too much, he will think that you can't do anything to him, and he will still live a good life. Even if he falls into your hands in the future, with two tears and one snot, you will forgive him if nothing goes wrong. So, in this matter, I support you to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. Don't leave any hidden dangers for the future. "
Hearing such a suggestion, Lu Yiwei raised his head and said, "What do you mean?"
Sanjo asked, "What do you think evil people are most afraid of?"
"Punishment?"
"No, no!" Sanjo shook his head and said, "Punishment is nothing more than physical torture. Once the scar heals, he will forget the pain. It won't have any effect. For example, if you send Li Haidong to prison, he will feel no guilt. After he comes out, he is very likely to become your opponent, and there will be endless troubles in the future. "
"If you want him to be obedient, make him fear from the bottom of his heart. This is the highest realm in the battle between people. If it were me, I would ignore him, and I would not suppress or retaliate. Everything would take its course. The more you do this, the more he will be tortured. One day, he will not be able to bear it and run to you to beg for mercy. "
