After Xiang Liang finished speaking, Dong Jingguo answered: "Lawyer Xiang Liang, what I need to tell you is that your client, Ms. Tan Qing, committed the crime of blackmail and slander, and caused huge losses to Xinghai Group. My left hand

The letters above are all resignation letters submitted by Xinghai Group employees during this time period out of sympathy for Ms. Tan Qing. The document on the right is a statistical table of the direct economic losses caused to Xinghai Group by this bad incident."

Dong Jingguo paused slightly, and then continued: "The amount of economic losses this time is not small. Ms. Tan Qing asked for compensation. No, it should be a little more than three times the amount of blackmail prepared, totaling 3.23 million. This is the sentencing

Basis. Therefore, if our client’s son, Zhao Zhixia, is required to come back for a paternity test, then this part of the cost will be included in the total cost and will be used as a reference for sentencing."

Xiang Liang was silent for a while, glanced at the audience, then looked at the judge and said: "Judge, we request an adjournment for half an hour."

After the chief judge and the two associate judges exchanged opinions, he knocked the gavel and announced a half-hour adjournment.

In the lounge, Tan Qing was sitting in her seat. In front of her were lawyers Xiang Liang and Cao Xingcheng.

Xiang Liang looked at Tan Qing and asked: "Tan Qing, tell me the truth, is the child in your belly really Zhao Zhixia's? If you say yes, then let Zhao Zhixia come back and do a new paternity test."

Tan Qing grabbed the handkerchief with both hands and didn't know how to answer for a while.

Cao Xingcheng glared at Tan Qing, asked Fang Liang, "Lawyer Fang, if Tan Qing loses the case, and I also lose the case, will I go to jail according to mainland law?"

"Yes, but the time should be about half a year."

"What about me?" Tan Qing raised her head and looked towards Xiang Liang.

"Starting in five years." Fang Liang glanced at Tan Qing with disgust. Even if Tan Qing didn't speak, he already knew the answer to the question.

"Tan Qing, you can't admit it. If you call Zhao Zhixia back, we still have a few days to prepare. For example, we can sue Xin Zhao for secretly obtaining the tissues of aborted babies." Cao Xingcheng pulled Tan Qing's clothes and continued.

: "You worked so hard to conceive that child. Although you aborted it, you are still a mother. How could you tolerate others obtaining his body tissue without your permission?"

Tan Qing did not speak, but shivered and curled up in her seat.

"Did you hear that? Do as I say." Cao Xingcheng shouted.

The "bang bang bang" knock on the door sounded. It was the law enforcement officers outside who heard what was going on inside. This is a court. If there is violence, you will be dealt with strictly immediately.

Cao Xingcheng calmed down, and Xiang Liang sighed and said: "Boss Cao, it is not feasible to sue Zhao Xin for obtaining tissue from aborted babies, because aborted babies are treated as medical waste in the hospital, and what is their purpose?"

It’s evidence collection.”

"Then it takes some time, otherwise do you want me to be arrested?" Cao Xingcheng stared in the direction with burning eyes. He felt that mainland lawyers were not professional at all.

"I'll try my best." Xiang Liang agreed.

Half an hour passed by in a flash. After the court reopened, Zhao Yueyue stood up and said, "Tan Qing."

Tan Qing was in a trance and didn't seem to hear Zhao Yueyue's words. In fact, at this moment, everyone in the audience had already understood that Tan Qing was really using the child in her belly to blackmail.

"Tan Qing, the first vice president of the Baji Club of Peking University." Zhao Yueyue's voice suddenly became louder.

Tan Qing came back to her senses, glanced at Zhao Yueyue, and then quickly lowered her head.

"Defendant's attorney, are you trying to intimidate my client?" Xiang Liang looked at Zhao Yueyue and said.

But Zhao Yueyue ignored him: "Tan Qing, please tell me, do you want to conduct a paternity test under official witness?"

"Defendant's attorney, we will definitely conduct a paternity test." Xiang Liang said.

At this time, the gavel struck, and the judge said: "The plaintiff's lawyer should not make the decision for the plaintiff, let the plaintiff make the decision."

"Plaintiff Tan Qing, do you want a paternity test? If you want a paternity test, you will have to serve at least one more year in prison if you lose the case." The judge reminded.

Tan Qing still didn't speak, just lowered her head.

"Ms. Tan Qing, we will count down. After the countdown is over, we will default to you for a paternity test," the judge said.

The electronic clock on the wall specially designed for countdown started, and the one-minute countdown time was passing by second by second.

Tan Qing raised her head, looked around, and then looked at the countdown with only thirty seconds left.

She stood up, looked at the judge and said: "There is no need to do a paternity test. The biological father of the child is indeed not Zhao Zhixia. Let me announce my sentence!"

Tan Qing closed her eyes. After that night, she had been looking forward to it for a long time. But her period came only seven days later, and she had other thoughts.

She may not love Zhao Zhixia that much, but she has 'loved' Zhao Zhixia throughout the university and throughout her graduate career.

A love that may have been false at the beginning, but it has become real after so many years. Furthermore, at this time, she has nothing left but the beautiful memories of the Baji Club in college.

She doesn't want Zhao Zhixia to come back and kill the only good things left in her memories.

"Judge, pronounce the sentence!" Tan Qing repeated.

Xiang Liang opened his mouth but did not speak. Cao Xingcheng left the audience angrily, but before leaving, he was notified that a court hearing on the case brought against him by Xinghai Group would be held in the afternoon.

"Judge, can I add a few words?" Zhao Yueyue reportedly said.

After the judge agreed, Zhao Yueyue looked at Tan Qing and said, "Money and silk touch people's hearts. This is the only way I can understand your behavior. Zhixia and Wentong called and said they hoped to be held less accountable and to save you two years in prison.

Tan Qing, your blackmail is a private matter and our family will not pursue it, but you and Cao Xingcheng are in cahoots, so the losses caused to Xinghai Group must be investigated."

Tan Qing said nothing, and did not even look back at Zhao Yueyue.

"Judge, I've finished." Zhao Yueyue sat down again, and the three judges began to discuss.

Ten minutes later, the judge pronounced the verdict and Tan Qing was sentenced to three years in prison.

Cao Xingcheng, who left the venue early, immediately returned to his hotel, took his phone and started making calls to the island.

He wanted to seek help, and the person who answered his call at this moment was a certain minister who organized the island's businessmen to go to the mainland for inspection.

After asking for help, the minister became very angry. While reprimanding Cao Xingcheng, he also made it clear that he had control over the matter.

After all, although he organized the businessmen to go to the mainland for inspection, the initial news came from the mainland.

How can his people be sentenced there?

Cao Xingcheng felt relieved a little. He thought about it and made a call to Xinghai Group.

After some transfers, we were finally connected to Xin Zhao.

In the courtyard, He Yuzhu has not left yet. At this moment, he is busy cooking in the kitchen. After all, it is not easy to come here, and he still has to show off his skills.

Zhao Xin listened to Cao Xingcheng's slightly condescending tone begging for forgiveness in the study room.

"Haha." Xin Zhao laughed and hung up the phone.

On the other end of the phone, Cao Xingcheng was stunned. He spoke for five minutes and stated that he was willing to pay him 50,000 yuan as compensation, but Xin Zhao only replied "haha" and then hung up the phone.

If it hadn't been for that last 'haha', he would have doubted whether it was Xin Zhao who answered the phone.

"Boss, Lawyer Fang is back." At this time, a subordinate said.

"Please come in quickly." Cao Xingcheng said quickly.

After Xiang Liang came in, he discussed the subsequent punishment with Cao Xingcheng. When he heard that Xinghai Group would not pursue private matters, Tan Qing only sentenced him to three years later.

Cao Xingcheng said with a cold face: "I didn't expect that I was tricked by a woman."

After the two talked for a while, the phone rang again. It was a call from the island.

After the two exchanged words, Cao Xingcheng’s face darkened.

The minister he asked for help indeed helped him.

It was said that he would stay in jail for fifteen days and then pay three million in compensation, otherwise he would probably go to jail.

After all, the minister actually questioned him fiercely. He had done a big thing in the capital, and was caught by the Xinghai Group, and suffered all kinds of losses.

Cao Xingcheng responded with a cold smile, "Fifteen days, three million."

If there were not fifteen days, he might bite the bullet and pay. But with these fifteen days, how could he give in?

Cao Xingcheng immediately discussed with Xiang Liang, considering various situations in the afternoon.

Neither of them had lunch, so they could only deal with it briefly in the car on the way to the hospital.

The court session started on time in the afternoon. Bu Wenbing, the legal department manager of Xinghai Group, sat in the plaintiff's seat. His lawyer was still Dong Jingguo.

Cao Xingcheng, who had been watching the battle in the morning, sat in the defendant's seat, and his lawyer was Fang Liang.

Cao Xingcheng looked at the infantry soldier sitting on the plaintiff's seat and couldn't help gritting his teeth. He thought it would at least be Zhao Xin's daughter, but it turned out that an employee came.

With the groundwork laid out in the morning, Cao Xingcheng’s defeat in this lawsuit has long been doomed. The key to the problem is just how much responsibility Cao Xingcheng bears for the losses caused to Xinghai Group.

At the prison gate, Tan Qing took out three hundred yuan from her pocket and handed it to Qin Huairu who brought it to her as a salute.

"Sister Qin, I give you this money as a token of my gratitude for these days. Thank you also for not disliking me." Tan Qing couldn't help but hug Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu forced the money into Qin Huairu's hand, and Qin Huairu was a little dazed, but Tan Qing had already carried her luggage into prison.

Xin Zhao is reading a book while in court.

Cao Xingcheng was as dejected as a defeated chicken because the reporter who followed him to interview Tan Qing actually bit him and even provided some recordings. This was used to prove that Cao Xingcheng was the mastermind in spreading rumors and slander.

After all, Tan Qing's matter was originally a private matter, but it was Cao Xingcheng who caused a stir in the city.

"I was used, I was used by Tan Qing, and Tan Qing was the mastermind." Cao Xingcheng said somewhat hysterically.

The judge knocked the gavel and asked: "Defendant Cao Xingcheng, do you accept all the things and evidence just presented by the reporter?"

Cao Xingcheng was silent for a while and said: "Yes."
