"Brother, the solution is actually very simple," Meng Chang Hai said. "The Widow Sun and Wang Yan, along with that damned He Xiaoya, have said that Qing Dong once harassed them."
"Let's go find the Widow Sun and Wang Yan right now. We can use money or power to coerce them—in a word, make them change their statements. They'll say that everything was forced by Zhang Xiaobei."
"Once these two are dealt with, it will be even easier to handle Zhang Xiaobei and He Xiaoya. That cheap woman, He Xiaoya, claims that Qing Dong harassed her, right? So, why can't we say that she seduced Qing Dong, got furious from embarrassment, and conspired with Zhang Xiaobei to blackmail him, even assaulting Qing Dong? Qing Dong, harboring resentment, then poisoned his fish pond."
To save his son, Meng Chang Hai was willing to sacrifice his reputation.
