Chapter 72: White (1/2)
Getting Long Tao's message, prosecutor Chen Wenwei came to look for Suyin in her office as soon as she was done with her work. In the office, Suyin was handling her interns like a tigress training her babies.
”Miss. Zhao, you look busy, I'll come later.” Chen Wenwei felt pity for the scared interns who were standing in a row with hands clasped at the front.
”No, I'm done with them, come in.” Suyin brings her attention back to the interns, ”I hope you've learned your today's lesson. Next time pay attention to my words. Keep the file at the table, I'll review it later.”
Interns followed the order but didn't leave and instead push Yu Mixi ahead.
”Now what?”
”Mam, that p-points....”
”Mixi, it looks like I've awarded you too many points that you are feeling heavy weighted?”
”Sorry, mam. Goodbye, mam,”
Taking Yu Mixi along, all the interns bowed and rushed out within a second as if freed from the clutches of a tigress. They all sprawled on the floor after coming to their safe zone. Interns lounge.
”Poor interns,” Chen Wenwei let out a laugh as she had taken a seat on the couch. ”Good, you messaged me. I was about to come here. Seven days' time that you had given to the media houses, Hui Guozhi and Qi Wren are over already. Media houses have sent us their written apology within a day. However.”
”I know Hui Guozhi and Qi Wren have ignored the deadline. That's expected of greedy and snobbish people like them. It would have shocked me if they had taken it seriously. To get the money I've to shove my hands down their throat and threaten them with their kidneys.”
Suyin's casual attitude surprised Chen Wenwei, showing she has an idea. ”Looks like you have got a plan. And why do I feel you won't bother to fight the case in court?”
”Because that's true. Getting to the court is time and money consuming. Not my style.”
”Then?
Suyin crossed her legs, coming onto the serious part, ”I'm going to push them to the point where they will be forced to give me everything. I just want you to handle legal things whenever the need arises.”
They have worked together on a few cases before and are aware of each other's working styles. Moreover, Suyin knew that Chen Wenwei was one of the best lawyers who were not only honest and clear-minded but a perfect master who doesn't leave an opening for the culprit to find a loophole.
Chen Wenwei chuckled, ”That I'm already doing. I've fixed an appointment with Qi Wren. Tomorrow I'm going to his office to talk about the case.”
”Yes, do that. That bastard had called me once, threatening me to not pass any derogatory remarks on his precious ego and company.”
(For reference it's in chapter 29)
”Did he call you again? If it's a threat, we can sue him,”
Suyin waved her hand, ”I blocked his number and stopped answering any calls out of my contacts. But I know he is waiting for me to contact him..... His ego is bigger than a mountain. If he thinks I would come after him to get the money..... then dream on!”
Chen Wenwei studied Suyin's expression closely. The confident and mysterious glint in her eyes showed she was ready with a wicked plan to get the money. She just has to wait and see how Suyin would make that happen.
”I'll keep you updated about the meeting.”
