CHAPTER 371: CHAPTER 371: I LOVE YOU (145)

Ma Shijie, upon hearing this, dared not to move, standing there, "Miss Gu, what should we do about this?"

"What to do, I don’t see any of your leaders taking this seriously until someone dies. I can’t do anything about it."

Ma Shijie, hearing her say this, yelled towards the department head, "Department head, please come up here quickly."

The department head rolled his eyes at him and then turned his head back, talking with the Taoists about something.

"Facing foolish people, there really is no other way, no way at all."

Her words had barely finished when suddenly the previously calm river surface was again lifted by a huge wave that was more fierce than before. In a matter of seconds, it rose several meters high, crashing onto the shore. Ma Shijie stood there, completely dumbfounded.

He watched as the figure of the department head, as well as those of the Taoists, were swept into the waves, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"Miss Gu!"

"No need to shout for me. They brought this upon themselves; I can’t do anything about it."

Ma Shijie, with trembling hands, hurriedly called his higher-ups.

By the time he finished the call, the river surface had once again returned to calm. But in a short while, the corpses of the department head and the Taoists floated on the surface of the river.

This was an outcome no one had expected.

After Gu Lili left, she heard Ma Shijie saying on the phone that they would not dare to act rashly anymore.

After discussions among all parties, they still arrested the son of Commander Wang, the chief person in charge of Chunjiang Bridge.

To prevent further misfortunes, they dealt with this matter with unprecedented speed.

In a few days, the matter was made public.

Commander Wang’s son was charged with intentional homicide.

The incident caused an uproar.

The case of Chunjiang Bridge fermented in the discussions among netizens.

It could no longer be stopped.

Commander Wang had been trying hard to suppress this matter a few days ago, hoping to save his son.

But now even he couldn’t do anything about it.

He issued a public apology, claiming that his son had been deluded into believing that burying children alive would work.

He made a series of excuses to absolve his son.

However, this matter touched the sensitive nerves of the public, and they did not buy it.

Due to the severity of the situation, the President’s Residence held a national counsel, stripping Commander Wang of his position and allowing him to retire early.

As for Chunjiang Bridge, it was handed over to other responsible individuals to start reconstruction.

Bringing matters to a proper conclusion.

The attention to the incident gradually waned with the passage of time.

Crossing December, we greeted the New Year.

The first day of the lunar new year was Long Tianjiao’s birthday.

On her birthday, she held a grand birthday party at Emperor Palace, attended by many people.

All of whom she knew.

Since the cast for the new drama had been confirmed and the performance contracts signed, the official shooting would start in February.

So she didn’t have much time left to play.

Tonight, taking advantage of her birthday and the new year, she decided to enjoy herself to the fullest.

Long Yubei originally did not want to come. He could hardly stand Long Tianjiao’s frivolous friends, but upon hearing that Gu Lili would be there, he arrived without any hesitation.

When he, along with Liang He and Shen Congmo, got there, Gu Lili had not yet arrived.

"Aren’t you saying your sister-in-law is coming? What time is it and she still hasn’t arrived?"

Long Tianjiao pursed her lips, "Brother, can you be a bit more dignified? My sister-in-law will definitely come; she promised me."

After another fifteen minutes, Gu Lili finally arrived. She came with Antonio and two of their trainees, Jian Shu and Shang Zhen.

"Tian Jiao, happy birthday." Gu Lili handed the gift bag to her, "Happy New Year."

Long Tianjiao gave her a hug, "Thank you, sister-in-law."
