13:55 pm.

Grand Prosecutor's Office.

Supervision Department 2, Minister’s Office.

Li Dongxu bent down slightly, raised his hands respectfully and handed the bag to Li Zaihua.

At lunch today, Prince Sejong's Park Jung-wook's attitude made him realize the strength and status of the young prosecutor, as well as the gap between the two.

If in the past it was because Li Zaihua had evidence of accepting bribes that he had to compromise, then at this moment Li Dongxu has gradually begun to realize that surrender is his only choice.

The young prosecutor took the file bag, took out the document and read it at a glance.

It didn't take a while.

Li Zaihua scanned it roughly, and then threw the eucalyptus forward.

"Prosecutor Li, come and take a look."

Li Dongxu stepped forward and picked up the document and read it carefully.

Time passes minute by minute.

Ten minutes later.

Li Dongxu put down the documents and said with a heavy expression: "Tax evasion, unpaid workers' wages, openly beating subordinates, workplace harassment, this guy has done an incredible job..."

"Minister, do I really want to defend this kind of person?"

Li Zaihua was silent for a moment.

"This is Sejong's test for you. The purpose of a law firm is to make money, and distinguishing between black and white is what prosecutors, judges, and police do..."

"But in this case, I suggest that it is best to reconcile..."

"Don't worry about tax evasion. If you want that guy to be safe, settle the arrears of wages first. As for workplace harassment and blatant beating, ask him to apologize to the person involved, and try not to go to court..."

"It's just a local enterprise in Jiuli City. I don't know if it's a gangster. It's used to being the king and hegemony. It really thinks of itself as a local tyrant..."

"Also, don't forget that you are a prosecutor, so your attitude must be tougher..."

Having said this, the young prosecutor's face slowly sank, and the depth in his eyes became more terrifying.

"If you don't want to reconcile, then force them to reconcile. The conditions offered by Shizong are very good and there is no room for error. Understand!"

Looking at his minister's sinister eyes, Li Dongxu swallowed involuntarily.

"Minister, have you heard of the Taiyo Scholarship Foundation?"

Li Zaihua frowned.

"I haven't heard of it. Do you have any questions?"

Li Dongxu said straightforwardly: "Minister, the Sun Scholarship Foundation distributes scholarships twice a year to the children of celebrities from all walks of life..."

"Behind this consortium is the Mingsheng Group in Jiuli City. This company is controlled by parliamentary interpreter Yang Rentai and Cui Ruila..."

With a bang, he told everything he knew.

After all, Li Dongxu is an old man from the Second Supervision Department and knows a lot about the inside story, not to mention the parliamentary translator, so he is more cautious.

Although Mingsheng Group is not a large company, it is at the top of a second-tier company and has the opportunity to be promoted to a large company at any time.

After all, the young prosecutor has just taken up the position and has far less access to information than Li Dongxu.

After listening to the introduction, Li Zaihua's eyes moved slightly.

"Which political party does Yang Rentai belong to?"

Li Dongxu said without hesitation: "The New Democracy Alliance's first-choice translator will become the new second-choice translator if this year's midterm elections go well."

The young prosecutor thought for a moment.

"New Democracy Alliance, are you talking about the two small parties that merged in January last year?"

Li Dongxu replied: "Minister, the New Democracy Alliance is now the fourth largest opposition party, with 21 seats..."

"Yang Rentai has a very good resume. Once he is successful in the second election, he is expected to hold an important position within the party..."

"Even so, he is currently a standing member of the Jiuli City Special Committee and should not be underestimated!"

The voice fell.

Li Zaihua tapped the table gently and rhythmically.

"What do you mean, you think this matter must go to court and cannot be resolved privately?"

Li Dongxu thought for a while and said: "Minister, if they are willing to reconcile, there is no need for Sejong Law Firm. I think Mingsheng Group has made up its mind to open a trial..."

"I just read the report. It said that Mingsheng Group evaded 50 billion in taxes and owed workers 2 billion in wages..."

"Maybe this 52 billion is the real reason why Yang Rentai and Cui Ruila don't want to reconcile!"

Yang Rentai took the initiative to run for translator to make Mingsheng Group bigger, not to lose money.

The young prosecutor nodded in agreement.

Fifty-two billion is not a small sum. The original fine of seventy billion could put Hanzhou Group into trouble, let alone the second-rate Mingsheng Group.

The total assets of this company are approximately several hundred billion, and a fine of 52 billion would be more uncomfortable than the death of Mingsheng Group.

Thinking of this, Li Zaihua asked: "Prosecutor Li, do you know who Yang Rentai's backer is in the Xinmin Alliance?"

Li Dongxu shook his head.

"Minister, this kind of deep inside story is not something I can find out."

Li Zaihua licked his lips and asked again: "Mingsheng Group is unwilling to settle, so how do you plan to fight this lawsuit?"

As a prosecutor, Li Dongxu is very familiar with the tricks of these companies, which are nothing more than secretly transferring property, changing apparent profits into deficits, finding someone to take the blame, etc.

There are two defendants in this case. One is the heir and president of Mingsheng Group, Yang Taizhu, who assaulted the person, and the other is Yu Daohe, the financial director.

The choice of the scapegoat is already clear.

Yang Taibah's crime of beating someone in public is not serious. Workplace harassment can only be settled privately, with the forgiveness of the person involved, and with money.

But there is one thing. As the president of Mingsheng Group, he is jointly and severally responsible for tax evasion and wage arrears.

Therefore, the Jiuli City District Court decided to consolidate the cases for trial.

Li Zaihua sighed and quietly resolved the failure of the plan to increase impression points for Li Dongxu in private.

"Prosecutor Li, do you think you can win this case?"

Li Dongxu curled his lips.

"Minister, the evidence is conclusive. Whether we can win or not depends on the Jiuli City Labor Branch..."

"This incident originated from a complaint from the Jiuli City Labor Branch, and gradually extended to Mingsheng Group..."

"The Jiuli City Labor Branch suspects that Mingsheng Group used the transferred funds from the Sun Scholarship Foundation to evade taxes, and..."

Hearing this, Li Zaihua's heart moved.

"Wait a minute, when will the Labor Branch take charge of tax evasion? Isn't that a matter of the Taxation Department?"

Li Dongxu was stunned.

He had just been so focused on the situation that he forgot that tax evasion was not within the jurisdiction of the Labor Department.

Li Dongxu suddenly had an idea.

"Minister, do you mean to focus on cracking down on tax evasion?"

Li Zaihua showed a cowardly expression.

"You can exclude tax evasion from this case and return it to the tax department for re-investigation and prosecution..."

"Then the only remaining cases of Mingsheng Group itself are arrears of wages to workers, public beatings and workplace harassment..."

"The mid-term elections are about to be held. If I don't want to give up 52 billion, I can do it with 2 billion..."

"Besides, the workers deserve two billion, and private reconciliation is the most beneficial..."

"Yang Tai Baht has no money and pleads with the judge to use social services instead of punishment..."

As he spoke, he looked at Li Dongxu.

"Prosecutor Li, what do you think?"

As soon as these words came out.

Li Dongxu was thoughtful.

"Minister, you can try it!"

Li Zaihua added: "Mr. Park has made such a condition to you. You must seize the opportunity and don't let me down!"

Li Dongxu bent down at 90 degrees and bowed.

"Minister, please rest assured that I will live up to your expectations!"

The young prosecutor smiled slightly.
