Chapter 348: Three hundred and forty-seven, good friends
Li Hui coughed awkwardly and averted his gaze, saying, "I’m just hungry. By the way, how is Gao Zhichao’s uncle’s matter going?" Gao Zhichao’s uncle, Lin Zhengxin, was the deputy director of the Flower Fruity Liquor Factory, and he had also been implicated in the industrial alcohol incident.
His father and the vice president of the Jiangcheng Prosecution Office were old classmates, so he had asked his father to see if there might be a way to mediate the situation. Gao Zhichao was his good friend, and since Gao Zhichao had turned to him for help, he naturally felt obliged to try to assist.
Li Zhijun took a sip of tea from the table and slowly said, "I’ve already inquired about your classmate’s uncle, and it’s a bit difficult to handle." The Flower Fruity Liquor Factory incident had caused too much uproar—so many people had died, and someone had to be held responsible for it.
"Is there really no way at all?" Li Hui asked. Gao Zhichao had been running around and asking for help recently because of his uncle’s situation, and it really looked distressing.
Li Zhijun shook his head, "You haven’t stepped into society yet, and there are many things you don’t understand. It’s not that I don’t want to help your classmate, but this issue has now become the focus of the entire country. Almost everyone in Yan Country is paying attention to it. You better stay out of this, and when you go back to school, advise your classmate to let it go." Although the incident had happened some time ago, it remained a matter of high public interest; as long as there was no sentencing, the relatives of the victims would be watching closely.
"I understand!" Li Hui was not an oblivious person. Once he heard his father’s words, he got the message. It seemed Gao Zhichao’s uncle was not going to escape this predicament.
"Dinner’s ready!" Wu Qing’s voice came from the dining room.
"Let’s go, let’s have dinner." Li Zhijun put down his teacup and smiled, patting his son’s shoulder with his hand.
