Chapter 137 The Future King of Lawyers
“That’s right! How could someone so young be the boss? I know! You’re her lover! You’re afraid your wife will find out, so you don’t dare to admit it, right?” The old lady agreed with her daughter-in-law’s words and even made more malicious speculations.
"Madam, you need evidence to speak. You will be held legally responsible for spreading rumors about others without cause." Before Jiang Chengcheng, the person involved, could even refute this, the newly arrived police officer couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up first.
"How did I spread rumors about her! I'm telling the truth! I don't believe she's a boss at such a young age! That man is obviously her lover! And you're all taking their side! You must have been bribed!" The old lady, used to being domineering in the neighborhood, didn't take the police's warning seriously at all!
The old lady felt extremely relieved to see the police officers around her fuming and their faces flushed red with anger!
So what if it's official? It'll still infuriate you!
"What are you saying? You dare to spread rumors about the police? I think you really want to spend a few days in jail!" Hearing the old lady's unreasonable words, the police officers' hearts immediately tipped in Jiang Chengcheng's favor, and their words became more forceful!
Judging from the way this family acts so unruly and unreasonable, you can tell they're not easy to get along with.
"Hey!! Can you police just arrest people for no reason? You need an arrest warrant, right?" The old lady flinched slightly upon hearing this, then realized that with so many people watching, they couldn't just arrest her without cause!
The police officers who arrived were all young and had never seen such an unreasonable old lady before, so they were quite angry.
"Oh? I didn't expect someone your age, who behaves so irrationally, to know about arrest warrants. That's quite something."
"Besides, have you forgotten that I was the one who called the police to report you for causing trouble? Even without an arrest warrant, you still have to go back and give a statement to the police." Jiang Chengcheng sneered inwardly upon hearing the old lady's words.
An arrest warrant? You're dreaming. You think you can't be arrested without it?
"Hey! Sorry, officers! My mother is getting senile and doesn't think things through! Please don't take it to heart!" The man said, noticing the officers' unpleasant expressions.
He was definitely smarter than the old lady; he quickly got up, went over to offer her a cigarette and apologize, all in one smooth motion.
However, in public, not a single police officer was willing to accept the other party's cigarette.
"Just say what you have to say! Stop with the nonsense!" Annoyed by the old lady, the policeman's reply was tinged with anger.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Hearing the impatience in the policeman's voice, the man glared at his mother reproachfully, then proceeded to fawn over her.
"What exactly happened? Can someone tell us?" There were many onlookers around, and even though the police were angry, they couldn't say anything too harsh.
"I'll talk! Ever since we bought this house, my husband lost his job and I had a miscarriage! What else could this be but a haunted house? We just came here to seek justice! And this woman came up here on her own! We were so angry that we started talking to her!" The man's wife rushed up after hearing this, blaming Jiang Chengcheng for everything, without mentioning a word about her identity as the building owner!
"Is that so?" The police officer couldn't possibly believe the woman's side of the story, so he turned to Jiang Chengcheng to confirm again.
To be honest, after what just happened, very few police officers believed what they said! If they dared to slander even them, what chance would an ordinary person have?
"They came to my company and caused trouble for such a ridiculous reason, disrupting my business. Shouldn't I be concerned? Just because their family is unlucky and immoral, they blame it on the house? Isn't that absurd? I could even say they're just being unlucky and affecting the feng shui of my house!" Jiang Chengcheng retorted, turning the tables on the woman. "You believe in feng shui? I could say you're ruining the feng shui of my house!"
It's strange, really. Jinshi is quite close to the capital. Given its location near the capital, and the fact that it's home to highly educated people, they should be extremely resistant to these monsters and believe in the supremacy of science.
But the truth is quite the opposite. Jinshi is the place that believes in these feng shui and numerology techniques the most, apart from the Kawayama area.
"You! What are you saying! Be careful, or I'll sue you for defamation! You're the one who's unlucky! Your whole family is unlucky!" The old lady was furious when she heard Jiang Chengcheng's words! She quickly got up to argue with her, but before she could take two steps, she was stopped by the police and Zhao Feng.
"If you have something to say, talk to me. You're not worthy to speak to our General Manager Jiang." Zhao Feng's expression was indifferent, but his eyes held an undisguised air of authority.
"Hey! Who are you? What business is it of yours if I talk to her? I think you people are just meddling in other people's business! Get lost!" The old lady was furious when she heard Zhao Feng's words! No one in their neighborhood dared to talk to her like that!
"This is my boss, how can it have nothing to do with me? Alright, stop making a scene here. Talk to our company's legal team. Officers, we are now formally suing this family for maliciously interfering with our company's normal operations, defaming and spreading rumors about our boss, and causing irreparable damage to our company's reputation! We strongly demand severe punishment!" Zhao Feng pushed away the old lady's hand that was grabbing him and immediately greeted his subordinates behind him.
"Alright! Stop talking here and come with us to the police station to make a statement." Seeing that the old woman was about to cause trouble, the police officer impatiently grabbed the old woman and her family.
As for Jiang Chengcheng, the person involved, she will naturally be going as well.
Jiang Chengcheng never expected that she could escape the first day of the month but not the fifteenth. She finally didn't have to go to the police station to deal with the Wang family's mess, but in the end, she still ended up in the police station because of something else.
The statement was taken all afternoon, but neither side would budge, and the matter eventually escalated into a court case, though the proceedings would have to be postponed.
I left the police station.
Jiang Chengcheng didn't want to get involved in these matters, so she handed over the follow-up issues to her legal team.
"I have only one request: a harsh sentence! Ideally, jail time. The harsher the sentence, the higher your salaries will be!" Jiang Chengcheng said to the legal team, watching the old lady and her group's grumbling figures disappear into the distance.
Does she really think that just because Jiang Chengcheng owns a company, anyone can come and kick it?
Regardless of your background, I'll show you what it means to have no chance of survival!
"Don't worry, Mr. Jiang, we'll sue not only the company's reputation, but also yours! We'll make them regret it for the rest of their lives! Our Guoyao Building isn't a place where just any Tom, Dick, or Harry can come and slander us!" A very perceptive lawyer quickly stepped forward to assure him.
"Okay, what's your name? I'll leave this to you. If you do a good job, I'll give you a raise." Jiang Chengcheng looked at the person who spoke, whose face still looked childish, but whose eyes revealed real ambition. He probably hadn't been in the workforce for long.
She doesn't dislike ambitious people; after all, lawyers are generally shrewd and calculating, and nobody dislikes money.
"Lin Zhao!" Upon hearing Jiang Chengcheng's words, the man was thrilled, and the sharpness in his eyes intensified.
Lin Zhao?!
Oh! What a coincidence!
No wonder this person looked so familiar!
He was invincible in the legal profession both at home and abroad, and even judges trembled in fear when they saw him. He was known as the "King of Law" and the "Demon King of the Legal Profession"!
How could it not look familiar!
Jiang Chengcheng looked into the other person's now energetic and ambitious eyes, smiled, and sized him up before speaking.
"Great name! I believe in you, keep it up!"
After saying this, Jiang Chengcheng turned and left, leaving Lin Zhao standing there dumbfounded!
Nice name... but what the heck is that?
