After much thought, Ding Yun felt that none of the three methods were particularly reliable. They would certainly create some impact, but if the impact was to be significant enough for her to etch her mark into the world's essence, it would be asking for the impossible.
Therefore, just in case, she decided she needed to do more.
If one thing wasn't enough, she'd do two. If two wasn't enough, she'd do three, or even ten or eight. While she had free time, she would also use her Golden Finger, "Touch Stone into Gold," to accumulate more gold as a backup.
This would also provide her with a fallback.
If all else failed, she might have to resort to distributing gold to buy influence.
This was a last resort.
With an idea in mind, Ding Yun immediately decided to focus on nurturing her son and showcasing her medical abilities. These two aspects were not contradictory; in fact, they could even overlap.
For instance, by improving her son's health.
And by providing him with beauty and skincare treatments.
Wouldn't this attract a fanbase for her son based on his looks while simultaneously demonstrating her medical expertise?
Cosmetic medicine was also a branch of dermatological medicine.
There was no reason to discriminate!
Of course, before officially embarking on her medical career, some necessary preparations had to be made, such as obtaining certifications and setting up shell companies.
This was in preparation for potential related ventures in the future.
By establishing the company framework first, she could launch directly whenever an idea struck, saving her the trouble of running around to obtain various permits and licenses.
Ding Yun busied herself with these tasks for several months.
During this time, Liu Yuan not only successfully finished filming his movie, but his facial bruises and contusions also completely healed, returning him to his normal appearance. In fact, with Ding Yun's treatments and skincare products, his skin's condition and texture were flawless and enviable.
However, Ding Yun had not yet obtained all the necessary documents.
Her homemade skincare products had not yet been mass-produced.
Therefore, she had not yet started selling them externally.
Meanwhile, the company where Ding Yun had previously only provided technical expertise had successfully mass-produced biological electricity rings two months prior and begun selling them. In the past two months, these rings had been featured on trending searches three or four times due to three social news stories related to them.
Each story involved someone who had purchased a biological electricity ring and, by unexpectedly encountering a wrongdoer, had been saved.
Such trending news undoubtedly further propelled those who hadn't yet bought the rings to make a purchase, leading to a significant increase in sales. The biological electricity rings even began to be exported, bringing Ding Yun a considerable income.
While these were both positive developments, not everything was going smoothly. Her case with the Li family, and her relationship with them, remained a troublesome entanglement.
The Li family, in order to protect their reputation and avoid imprisonment, had indeed put in considerable effort and resources.
They had hired two law firms and nearly a hundred lawyers to represent them in court. In addition, the Zhang family had also offered significant assistance, as Mrs. Zhang could not appear too heartless towards the adoptive parents who had raised her for thirty-eight years, lest she be labeled ungrateful.
These were merely conventional tactics. More insidious methods, such as slandering Ding Yun, proving through various means that she was not a perfect victim, or even that she was faking it with someone pulling the strings behind the scenes.
Furthermore, using familial bonds and moral coercion.
Or attempting to cut off her financial resources so that she would be penniless and forced to accept a settlement.
These tactics were also employed extensively.
However, Ding Yun was no pushover. If this old fox hadn't learned these tricks over the years and couldn't handle them, she would have lived in vain.
Therefore, all their actions ultimately only provided Ding Yun with a more comprehensive chain of evidence, without harming her in the slightest. After repeated attempts, they finally quieted down somewhat, pinning their hopes on the two renowned law firms and the reliability of their subordinates who were willing to bear most of the responsibility.
The court had already held two or three sessions, but the old Li family remained unyielding, even attempting to escape without conviction.
Thus, the situation remained at a stalemate.
Ding Yun found it irritating and nerve-wracking, wishing she could just poison them all.
They were constantly causing trouble, giving her a headache.
Of course, this was just a fleeting thought, a moment of private satisfaction. The actual proceedings had to follow the law. However, during her entanglement with the Li family, Ding Yun did experience some happy moments. The only thing that brought her joy was that her brother, Li Yuning, finally couldn't hold on any longer. Unable to find a suitable kidney source for a while, he ultimately had to opt for a transplant with an artificial kidney.
He was suffering greatly now.
Initially, Ding Yun thought this case might drag on for one or two years, as the police had suggested, or that she might even need to put it aside for a while and focus on other matters. Then, a turning point suddenly arrived.
And the turning point was brought about by the Li family themselves.
For reasons unknown, perhaps believing himself to be exceptionally clever, Li Yuning summoned Ding Yun's adoptive parents. He gave them money, intending for them to control Ding Yun and persuade her not to sue his father.
While a complete acquittal was unlikely due to the relatively solid evidence, such an action would undoubtedly lead to a much better outcome.
After all, whether the victim forgives or not is a sentencing standard and an important consideration.
Subsequently, Ding Yun was approached by her adoptive parents. At this point, Ding Yun had already gathered some information about her adoptive parents. A crucial piece of information was that many neighbors recalled that Ding Yun's adoptive mother didn't seem to be pregnant at all, and then suddenly brought home a child, claiming it was her own.
Regarding this, Ding Yun immediately reported it to the authorities.
She filed a lawsuit.
And presented a series of evidence to prove that her adoptive mother was not pregnant at the time, nor was there any possibility of a mistaken identity at the hospital. She was definitely stolen from them, and she sued them for kidnapping.
The police arrived to arrest them. After a brief interrogation,
her adoptive parents, terrified, quickly confessed the truth, repeatedly asserting that it wasn't their fault, that they had committed no crime, and that the child was not stolen by them but was thrust upon them by someone else who paid them to raise her.
Moreover, it was Li Rong who had given them the child.
He had also given them two hundred thousand yuan at the time.
They knew nothing else.
They were framed!
Suddenly, due to their testimony, the entire case, along with Li Rong and Ding Yun's previous kidnapping case, became quite convoluted and mysterious.
