Cai Yilan offered a slight smile and said in a measured tone, "Vice President Xu, I am someone who never remembers those who harm me, but I will definitely remember those who have saved me."
Hearing this, Xu Dingquan felt an exhilarating chill; he could already envision Liu Hun kneeling before him begging for mercy while he was surrounded by a plethora of officials attended by money and beautiful women.
"Before I passed out, I heard a voice telling me, 'I can save you! Trust me!' That voice gave me hope, and it did not betray my expectations. It saved me, and I will remember this voice and the face that was determined to make me believe and gave me great hope for the rest of my life," recounted Cai Yilan with a voice weathered by decades of bureaucratic ups and downs and a deep sense of gratitude, moving everyone present.
These words intensified the disappointment of those who felt letdown and the smugness of the prideful.
