265 Live Without Worry
Ning Rong was the first to speak. “The lawsuit will begin in two days. We already know that the debate lawyer from the Shan Corporation is Xi Feng. If everyone has heard of him, they should know that this person is very strong. We’re not afraid of everyone laughing at us. To be honest, even I lost to him.”
“It’s okay. I already knew about this, Lawyer Ning.” Tang Xia’s words were steady. “But what I didn’t expect was that Xi Feng, who had already rejected my invitation, would actually help Shan Yue. Could it be that even he thought that I would lose, so he didn’t accept me?”
“President Tang, don’t be anxious. I’ve only lost to Xi Feng once in a hundred battles.” Ning Rong’s face was filled with unwillingness. The generous reward and the opportunity to take revenge had secretly ignited the fighting spirit in her heart. “That time, he only won by a slight advantage. This proves that he’s not the legendary invincible. You can trust me completely. I’ll prove to the world through this lawsuit that I’m not inferior to him. I just lack an opportunity.”
A smile appeared on Tang Li’s lips. “Don’t worry, Lawyer Ning. Since we’ve already chosen you to be our Tang family’s defense lawyer, we’ll definitely trust you unconditionally. You don’t have to feel burdened. Just let go and do it. No matter what, our Tang Corporation will help you.”
“Thank you for your unconditional trust, Miss. Then I definitely won’t disappoint everyone.” Ning Rong cupped his fists with gratitude. “Then, regardless of whether Shan Yue takes out that photo as evidence, Miss Tang, you can just insist that you know nothing about this and that all the smuggling incidents have nothing to do with you.”
Then, Ning Rong slowly looked at the assistant beside Tang Li. “At this time, your assistant only needs to stand up and tell the entire court that she did everything. She just needs to shoulder this crime for the company alone. This way, in a situation where the situation is very clear, the judge will quickly acquit you and the Tang Corporation. In the end, the assistant will only be judged for the severity of the crime.”
“You don’t have to worry about that. I’ve already spoken to the main judge, Cheng Yue.” Tang Xia’s words were very steady, and his words gave her assistant a sense of security. “Although he hasn’t received any money yet, he has also said that he wants me to give him the remuneration he deserves after the matter is completed.”
Seeing that Tang Xia’s tone had paused, Tang Li quickly added, “So, you just have to bear the responsibility. I can guarantee that the final sentence will be the lightest. After this matter is over, you can live without worry for the rest of your life.”
The assistant’s eyes moved, and the expression on her face gradually turned from hesitation to determination. “Don’t worry, President Tang. Since we’ve already reached a deal, I hope that after I take the blame for our Tang Corporation, you can also do what you said before. I’ll leave my family to you for the few years I’ve been in.”
Tang Xia nodded slightly in agreement. “That’s for sure. Just wait inside. I’ll prepare everything outside for you. As for your family, they’ll definitely receive the best treatment.”
“Actually, everyone should be more optimistic. There’s no need to be so negative.” Ning Rong’s words were extremely inflammatory, affecting the atmosphere between the few of them. “Miss Tang, you just need to know that you don’t know anything. Everything will go according to our previous plan. President Tang has also spoken to the judge. I believe that we will definitely win in the end.”
In the end, it was Tang Xia who stood up to stabilize everyone’s emotions. At this point, both sides completed their final negotiations and were only waiting for the court hearing in two days.
Two days later, early in the morning, it was a foggy day. The rising sunlight was still very weak and could not pierce through the confusion, shrouding the entire central city of the Federation in a looming sense of mystery. It covered the lawsuit that was the center of attention today with an unknown veil, making it difficult to see through many pairs of eyes.
Today’s showdown was not only a battle between the two groups, but also related to the future layout and economic development of Federal City. Early in the morning, not only Shan Yue and Tang Xia, but even Governor Liu Ze, the entrepreneur Zhou Xuan, Dong Peng, Yu Sen, and more than a dozen others were prepared to attend.
The entrance of the federal court was already surrounded by reporters who had been waiting in advance. There were also countless people who wanted to join in the fun and see the results, surrounding the entire road.
