Xu Chunliang said, "Everyone is equal before the law, and no one can receive special treatment. If we favor Huayuan Group because they are investors, then there is no fairness to speak of. I carefully listened to Director Li's presentation of the case; both parties committed mutual assault after drinking. Am I right?" He looked towards Li Chengbo.
Li Chengbo nodded.
Xu Chunliang said, "Since it's mutual assault, both parties are responsible. Even though Huayuan Group might be collaborating with Changxing, I cannot speak in their favor. Personally, I believe the matter should be handled as it needs to be handled—impartially and according to the law, so no one can gossip about it."
Many present nodded in agreement. Is Xu Chunliang really favoring reason over relations?
