Chapter 1043: Encounter at the Court Doors Again
It caused the expansion of governmental power and market efficiency to decrease, so the Chu family’s decline was completely to be expected.
It was absolutely necessary to get rid of the Chu family.
Ning Shu was worried that Chu Xiaoran would transfer his wealth out of the country, so she recommended for the government to check where Chu Xiaoran’s assets were located.
She had no desire to make Chu Xiaoran go bankrupt in T City only to find that he switched to a different location to enjoy life.
Since she’s started her attack, she had to make it so that Chu Xiaoran was beaten down to the point that he’ll never be able to recover.
The government didn’t want this big slab of meat to run off either, so they were definitely going to investigate. Of course, to investigate this matter, the assets management and supervising committee would step in personally to investigate the location of Chu Xiaoran’s company’s funds.
With people watching, even if Chu Xiaoran wanted to evacuate his assets, he wouldn’t be able to. If he was caught transferring his assets, it’d add an additional crime to his lawsuit.
Right now, everyone wanted to pounce up and rip a chuck of meat off Chu Xiaoran.
Ning Shu just calmly waited for the day of the court session to arrive. She had already prepared everything needed.
The day of the court session, Ning Shu and Chu Xiaoran encountered each other at the entrance. After this period of time, Chu Xiaoran had gotten a lot skinnier and his eyes were bulging out slightly.
Three years ago, they had also met at the door of this court. At that time, Chu Xiaoran had aloofly offered to give Ning Shu a job. However, times had changed. Now Chu Xiaoran became the party being sued, the party sitting opposite Ning Shu.
Even though the current Chu Xiaoran was in a bad position, when he saw Ning Shu, his expression was still aloof and contemptful. His tone contained ridicule as he said, “You’re nothing but a lowly dog that’s bowing and scraping to curry favor, but you’re actually taking yourself to be something important?”
Ning Shu paid no attention to Chu Xiaoran’s scorn. Could it be that someone like Chu Xiaoran who opposed the government and played with the market for personal benefits was what someone important was like?
Ning Shu believed that no individual had the power to oppose a nation, especially when Chu Xiaoran hadn’t even become powerful enough to get free from this land.
If Chu Xiaoran left T City, he wouldn’t be able to enjoy such privileges.
Everything below the sky were naught but ruled soil. The guests of these soil were naught but ruled subjects.
Since he was living on this land, of course he had to follow the rules. The fish wanted to jump out of the water? Wasn’t that just seeking death?
Chu Xiaoran was a prominent figure in T City, but now he was being sued, so it naturally attracted a huge crowd of reporters that didn’t want to miss out on this story.
Chu Xiaoran sat down. As he looked at Ning Shu who was sitting opposite him, he laughed coldly, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
On the surface Ning Shu didn’t show any reaction, but she was inwardly worried. Once the court session ended, she had to hire more bodyguards for the law firm.
Just in case, she had to find some skilled bodyguards for the Xu family parents as well. She was worried that Chu Xiaoran would go crazy and try to hurt the Xu family parents.
As the government’s plaintiff’s attorney, Ning Shu appealed Chu Xiaoran’s crimes to the judge and the jury.
Chu Xiaoran didn’t say a word from start to finish, his lawyer answered everything for him. However, Chu Xiaoran’s gaze became increasingly cold as he looked at Ning Shu.
Xia Xiaoman was sitting in the gallery, her expression conflicted and filled with helplessness. One was the person she loved and the other was someone she had grown up with. Both the front and back of the hand had flesh. It made Xia Xiaoman felt like her heart was being torn in half.
Why did they have to attack each other this way?
Xia Xiaoman really couldn’t understand. If it was because she had hurt Xu Wenlang, she was willing to pay for that crime.
However, the fact that the two men she cared about were confronting each other in this kind of place made Xia Xiaoman very uneasy. She felt extremely uneasy.
She softly stroked her belly. She just wanted to give the child a healthy and happy life.
Why was life so rough?
During the court session, Ning Shu had a fierce war of words with Chu Xiaoran’s lawyer, but Chu Xiaoran’s crimes were pretty much already set in stone.
When Chu Xiaoran had been well-off, there was no way monopolizing the market counted as a crime. Mention of it was even a praise, but now that the government was determined to deal with Chu Xiaoran, the charge naturally held.
The crime of monopolizing the markets wasn’t enough to put him in jail, there would just be a fine. However, the fine was large enough to make Chu Xiaoran’s facial color change.
It would be three times the profit from the monopolized products. Three times!?
