RPAGF Chapter 414 Epilogue
Chapter 414 Epilogue
Song Yanming stayed in Haiqi for a full month.
During this period, he not only dealt with Song's father and his henchmen, but also left a great reputation in Haiqi.
At least in the next few years, matters related to the Guan-Song family and this "Mr. Song" will be the subject of heated discussion and an enduring topic.
After everything has settled down and Zhou Sheng has been settled, Song Yanming is about to set off back to Beijing.
The Song family is in a special situation, with complex forces. It just so happens that he has only inherited the Song family for a few years, and it was only recently that he took control of all forces, so his foundation is still shallow.
Therefore, it is even more necessary for him to stay in Beijing more often to stabilize the overall situation and not to be away for too long.
Speaking of leaving, it will only take these two days.
Knowing that Bai Yuan would be eighteen in two years and would start to make her mark in Haiqi and the Bai family, Song Yanming would take her with him when handling most of the matters during this period.
Firstly, it was to show off his reputation in advance and build momentum for Bai Yuan while Song Yanming was under great pressure.
He had only been in Haiqi for a month when he caused such a huge stir, which shocked Haiqi and also made many people wary of him.
With his help, even if Bai Yuan really encounters some difficulties on the road ahead and is targeted by this group of people, after seeing the extraordinary relationship between the two, he will be restrained by Song Yanming's iron-blooded tactics and will not go too far.
This can be considered as a layer of protection for Bai Yuan.
The so-called guarantee may not be used, but it must be there.
Naturally, Bai Yuan would not think that Song Yanming looked down on her, but accepted it with peace of mind.
She never fights a battle without preparation, and she is meticulous and careful. She plans at least two escape routes for every step she takes, and she will never allow herself to be passive and sit and wait for death.
For her, more insurance is better.
Secondly, just like before in Beijing, he would give Bai Yuan a demonstration, take her on a field teaching demonstration, provide her with experience and guidance, explore the bottom line of this group of people in advance, and teach her more coping skills.
The land and water shape the people. There are always differences between Beijing and Haiqi, and we cannot generalize.
The previous method of dealing with people from Beijing was effective, but the same situation might not work in Haiqi, and sometimes it might even have the opposite effect.
The purpose of conducting a preliminary survey is also to distinguish the details.
Putting aside the regional issues, the other major directions are similar and most of them are universal, so the previous learning cannot be said to be in vain.
For Bai Yuan, the same words apply:
——The more the better.
Time flies, and it's two or three days before Song Yanming's departure.
Because Song's father's case was serious and Song Yanming himself came with a mission and special order from above, the case was handled in an expedited manner.
From arrest and imprisonment, to the transfer of the chain of evidence, in-depth investigation, trial, first instance, second instance, and finally the issuance of the verdict, the entire process, which was originally expected to take more than half a year, was completed before the end of the month and the case was closed and filed.
The final result was that Song's father was sentenced to life imprisonment, all the illegal income he had gained during his tenure was confiscated and turned over, and he was also fined an astronomical amount of money. He had to fill the hole by selling his property and auctioning it off.
All the properties under Song's father's name have also been seized, and will be handled according to formal procedures.
Song's father was imprisoned, but the Song family was not implicated.
The bottom line is that what Song's father has done in recent years is obvious to all. Although the Song family does not say it, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the family has completely drawn a line between itself and Song's father.
Song's father was not expelled from the family because they were still connected by blood. After all, Song's father was the only son of Old Lady Song. Even if he was a bastard now, there was still a trace of warmth left from the past.
In addition, Old Mrs. Song is old, and in recent years she has been thinking about the past from time to time. She has become much softer-hearted, and has become more nostalgic and tolerant. That's why she kept his surname, the Song family, and did not remove Song's father from the family. She just drove him out of the capital, so that out of sight, out of mind.
The original expected death penalty was imposed, but the public was worried that Old Lady Song would not be able to accept it for a while and something might go wrong. Out of this consideration, the final verdict was life imprisonment for Song's father.
After all, although Song's father was a useless person and committed unforgivable crimes, the merits of his ancestors are still there, and it is good to take shelter under a big tree. The Song family shed so much blood for the country back then. No matter what, for the sake of those martyrs who died bravely in battle and for the sake of old lady Song, they still have to show leniency and not let the other members of the Song family feel disappointed.
But judging from Song Yanming's meaning and the tone of his words, Bai Yuan judged that he might not intend to give up and would probably take further action later. But no matter what, he could not act while Old Lady Song was still alive.
Well, wait a few more years.
Song's father's status as a member of the Song family is already in name only. Now that the truth has been revealed, the Song family and other members of the Song family will naturally not be implicated.
Although Song Yanming is Song's father's son, it is well known that the father and son of the Song family are not in harmony. What's more, it was Song Yanming who led people to arrest Song's father at this time, which already shows the position and attitude of the Song family.
Not only will Song Yanming not be implicated, but he will be the biggest contributor in this case.
We are just waiting to return to Beijing to hold a commendation meeting and reward people according to their merits.
When Song Yanming talked about this with Bai Yuan, he half-closed his eyes and spoke in a brisk and proud tone:
"Now you know why I took so long, right?"
In this whole incident, time is the biggest killer.
In order to get rid of the Song family intact, it naturally requires the right time, place, and people; none of them can be missing.
The resentment accumulated over the years has made the conflicts within the Song family obvious to all, and they have completely drawn a line between themselves and Song's father.
The long term in office and connivance made Song's father more and more arrogant. He committed more and more crimes and his crimes increased accordingly, which led to his current life imprisonment and even the death penalty in the future.
Driving Song's father to Haiqi was also to completely sever his ties with the capital and shake his foundation.
Also, because Haiqi is rich and has a lot of room for operation, how could Song's father leave such a big piece of cake alone and not divide it up, or even take it for himself?
He wouldn't be able to make so much money in an ordinary small place.
This invisibly increased Song's father's ambition and increased the sentence. The influence of multiple factors ultimately led to the current situation.
This really echoes what Song Yanming said before, "The time is too short to judge."
And after this, it is still a battle of time. How long Song's father can live in prison depends on how many years Old Lady Song can live.
Bai Yuan had no doubt that when that day came, as soon as Old Mrs. Song closed her eyes in the morning, Song's father's death sentence would be issued in the afternoon.
This political conspiracy was extremely time-consuming and involved a very long battle line. It felt like slowly weaving a giant net to lure the prey into it, and then slowly tightening the ropes, tightening them bit by bit until the prey struggled and suffocated.
Bai Yuan did not look down on Song Yanming at all because he had stretched the battle line for such a long time, nor did he think that he was lacking in means, skills, or indecisiveness.
On the contrary, there is an old saying that goes "delay leads to change".
That is to say, the situation often changes rapidly, and the longer it drags on, the more out of control it becomes. Any factor or change that occurs during this period may affect the final outcome and become a crucial link in determining success or failure.
Song Yanming has been planning and plotting for more than ten years. He must have had firm determination, perseverance, willpower, courage far beyond ordinary people, careful planning, etc., to achieve success and fulfill his wish today.
Bai Yuan also had great respect for this.
Song Yanming has done everything he can and utilized it to the fullest extent.
She asked herself, if she were in the other person's current situation, she might not do better than Song Yanming.
If it were her, she would have secretly taken action and sent the person away silently as early as the first time Song's father brought people back to the compound and caused trouble.
However, as a result, the subsequent handling will be very different. At least Song's father will not be imprisoned so easily, and he will not even have a chance to turn things around.
When it comes down to it, the biggest difference between how she and Song Yanming handle things is that one puts reputation and decency first, while the other doesn't care about these false reputations and can tolerate outsiders laughing at her family for so many years. If they want to go crazy, they go crazy together, if they want to rot, they rot together, and if they want to stink, they stink together.
It's also very crazy.
Song's father was arrested, and his small family in Haiqi is now in turmoil.
On the day Song's father was arrested, someone came to seal off his mansion and other properties. No one was allowed to take anything away from the house. All of it was seized as stolen money, waiting to find out its origin before what should be handed over would be handed over or what should be auctioned off would be used to pay off debts.
Song's father's lover and his two illegitimate sons were naturally also kicked out of the house.
The women in the family were fine, thanks to the fact that Song's father was a typical male chauvinist with serious feudal ideas. Not only did he have the final say at home, he also did not allow the women to interfere in work matters, and on weekdays he would not allow them to get involved in his "career". As a result, they luckily escaped the disaster.
In any case, the entire incident had no direct relationship with them, so they were not implicated in too many criminal cases.
However, Song Rui, the illegitimate son of Song's father, has already grown up. In the past two years, he has entered the system through the arrangement of Song's father. He has been trained as his confidant and has participated in many things. At the time of the incident, he was taken away by the prosecutor who came to investigate for investigation.
Unfortunately, Song Rui has only been working for less than two years. Even with the training of his father, his foundation is still shallow. He has not been involved in many major cases, and the total amount of cases he has encountered is not enough to punish him with life imprisonment, let alone the death penalty.
The final result was dismissal and investigation, and all illegal gains had to be turned over. He also had to pay a large fine. Not only would he be severely punished, but he would also be banned from being employed by the system again and sentenced to seven years in prison.
But in the end, Song Rui did not go to jail.
Instead, the family used various connections and spent a huge amount of money to get the person out.
As a result, he could no longer stay in the country, and could only send him on a plane and go abroad to hide from the spotlight for a few years before Song Yanming returned to Beijing to report.
Seeing that Song Yanming didn't take it seriously, Bai Yuan guessed that he might have been involved and secretly helped.
I guess he wanted to "raise" Song Rui for a while like he "raised" Song's father, and wait until he is fat and big enough to be sentenced, then kill him together.
These will be decided by Song Yanming himself later.
Before Song Rui was sent abroad, Song Panpan, with the permission of her mother and brother, went to see Song Yanming several times.
However, Song Yanming dodged every time and he had to return empty-handed.
Finally, he found out from somewhere that Song Yanming had been with Bai Yuan for some time. After careful consideration, he still went to the door of the Bai family.
But when she arrived at the city where Bai Yuan lived, looking at the magnificent villas along the way, she thought that she had lived in such a house a month ago, but now she can only squeeze with her mother in a rental house of less than 50 square meters. She felt a great gap in her heart and unconsciously wanted to give up.
Song Panpan stood at the gate of the Bai family's yard for a long time, but she never dared to press the doorbell. In the end, she could only wait silently outside the door. Two hours later, when her legs were sore from standing, a car finally drove out.
Seeing this, Song Panpan rushed over to stop the car, but because her calves were trembling, she stumbled and fell on the hood of the car. From an outsider's perspective, it looked like a head-on collision. Fortunately, the car finally stopped because of her interception.
"Brother..." Song Panpan didn't care about her embarrassment at this time. She seized this last chance and rushed to the car window.
However, after rolling down the car window, what she saw was not Song Yanming's fierce and somewhat evil face. Song Panpan was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously tucked the loose hair on her forehead behind her ears. At the same time, she straightened her back and called softly:
"Ms. Bai."
Bai Yuan and Song Panpan did not have much interaction, nor did they have any grudges against each other, and the Song family's troubles had nothing to do with her.
Therefore, even if something happened to the Song family, she would not be sarcastic or take advantage of Song Panpan's misfortune. At most, she would just be an acquaintance who nodded to each other as before.
After meeting Bai Yuan, all the words Song Panpan had prepared were suddenly useless. She stood there a little stiffly, pinching the corner of her clothes helplessly, her eyes wandering for a moment because of guilt.
"Sorry, I, I came to look for..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and her sentence order and wording were a little messed up due to panic.
Fortunately, at this time, Song Yanming opened the door from the other side of the car and walked out. Song Panpan rushed over quickly as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.
"Brother, please don't send my brother out of the country. Please don't chase him away, okay?"
Song Yanming closed the car door, leaned against it, and said as he reached into his pocket for a cigarette:
"Not going abroad? Fine, then go back to jail."
Song Panpan was choked for a moment, and continued to beg, "Brother, I know you must have a way to prevent my brother from going to jail and to allow him to stay in the country. I beg you, please let him go? Our family has already..."
At this point, she paused, sniffed, and when she spoke again, there was a hint of sob in her voice that she tried hard to suppress, "Brother, please let him go. My brother will never fight with you again."
Hearing this, Song Yanming suddenly laughed. Then, he raised his eyes to look at Song Panpan, with a hint of amusement and teasing in his dark eyes, "Want to compete with me?"
Song Yanming sneered: "Does he deserve it?"
