268 In Black and White
Cheng Yue quickly adjusted from what had just happened and pointed his fingers at Shan Yue. “Next, please show the physical evidence you have. Both parties have their own opinions on the evidence.”
“Everyone, please take a look. This photo records one of the arms smuggling transactions between the Tang Corporation and an unknown group in Country H. I believe there must be more than one photo like this. It’s just that we didn’t discover it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Shan Yue picked up the photo that had been prepared in the materials and faced the public behind her. “And this photo is clearly printed with Tang Li’s personal seal. This kind of seal is usually in her own hands and only she has a chance to use it. Therefore, I have good reason to suspect that Ms. Tang Li is involved in smuggling.”
Then, Shan Yue turned around and slowly walked in front of Tang Li. Her cold eyes stared into Tang Li’s eyes. “President Tang, do you still remember that a month ago, during the competition for the Las Vegas project, I exposed you at the scene for framing Zhou Xuan for hiring a murderer? Even if your plan didn’t cause Dong Yan to be hurt a second time, it was because I was present at the hospital that the tragic consequences did not happen.”
Shan Yue’s loud voice echoed in the entire court and traveled into everyone’s ears. “At that time, Uncle Dong had already given way and did not continue to pursue criminal responsibility for you. He had already let you escape the punishment of the law by luck. I didn’t expect you to still dare to participate in such smuggling now. It seems that you really think you’ve lived too long. You’re anxious to shorten your lifespan.”
After hearing this, Tang Li could not help but slap the table and stand up. “Shan Yue, please understand. We’re in the court now, not your house. The case we’re discussing now is smuggling firearms, not asking you to slander and mention the past. How should we pursue your deliberate pressure?”
Seeing this, Ning Rong took the opportunity to chime in. “Your Honor, I protest. These digressions that Shan Yue said have nothing to do with the case at all. She’s deliberately confusing my defense so that she can better achieve her goal.”
“I think President Tang knows better than anyone else if I deliberately pressured her or if that’s the truth.” Shan Yue’s cold smile gradually appeared on her lips, and there was a hint of sarcasm. “Even if I’m putting pressure on President Tang, it’s indeed my problem. Then how should President Tang explain the smuggling of firearms? It’s printed on the photo in black and white. You can’t say that I’m slandering you for no reason, right?”
“As for this matter, you don’t have to worry about it, President Shan. I’ll naturally explain. The photo in President Shan’s hand indeed shows my personal seal. I won’t refute this fact.”
Tang Li had a confident expression on her face. She thought that she was sufficiently prepared to straighten her back. “But you have to be clear. My personal seal is in the office. Coincidentally, there’s no surveillance in the office, so anyone can get it to commit a crime when I’m not in the office. I don’t think this 100% means that I’m the one who used it.”
Hearing Tang Li’s explanation, Shan Yue could not help but smile disdainfully. “In short, Tang Li, you’ve really found a good excuse for yourself. However, just your words alone can’t escape your crime. This doesn’t mean that you can’t be involved in smuggling. Who would be so bold as to enter your office and steal your seal? Moreover, the person who stole the seal must be from your Tang Corporation. How is President Tang going to explain this?”
“Isn’t that the same logic? Since President Shan said that my words are empty, does what you say have legal benefits?”
There was a hint of mockery in Tang Li’s words. She raised her eyebrows and said, “You can say whatever you want with just this photo. But how can you be sure that I’m involved in smuggling? In the end, we’ll just talk about our own things. It’s meaningless.”
