Chapter 152: Directly Initiative (6)
She suppressed the agitation she felt.
She looked at the details.
Finding Ye Heng to help her was indeed the best move.
With this document and some facts… He had not disappointed her!
Her eyes flickered.
Her cell phone rang again.
She looked at the caller ID and picked up the call. “Lawyer Wu.”
“Hello, Miss Lu. I’ve just received a notification from the Public Security Bureau. They say that there is more evidence of your father’s crimes and that the amount involved is rather large. They have already applied for an early trial through special channels. It’ll be the day after tomorrow.”
“So soon?” Lu Manman raised an eyebrow.
“I’ve been to so many lawsuits, but this is the first time I’ve encountered something like this. The court didn’t even give us time to prepare. This is simply too shocking!” Wu Jun sounded angry. “Miss Lu, have you found any evidence that can help Mr. Lu?”
“No,” Lu Manman said directly.
It did not matter what position Wu Jun was in or whether he was being poached. She would not take risks with someone she could not fully trust.
“Then, what do we do now? It’ll happen the day after tomorrow, and we won’t have enough time to prepare. Moreover, with the evidence in the hands of the Public Security Bureau, no matter how hard I try to find a loophole in the law, the best I can do is reduce his sentence, but he definitely won’t be acquitted.”
“Alright, I see.” Lu Manman nodded.
“Miss Lu, then your dad…”
“I’ll communicate with him. As for Lawyer Wu…” Lu Manman hesitated before saying,” I know that you have a good reputation in Wen City’s legal industry and that you have an eighty-percent chance of winning the lawsuit. My dad has no chance of winning this case. Moreover, my dad’s lawsuit is very influential, so if you lose, it would surely affect your career as a lawyer. You and my dad have known each other for so many years, so why don’t you skip the lawsuit instead?”
“How could I do that?!” Wu Jun hurriedly said. “Miss Lu, it’s precisely because I’ve been with your dad for so many years that I can’t just wash my hands off this matter just because of my own interests. No matter what the reason is, I will definitely do my best to fight the lawsuit for your dad. As for the consequences, I have no regrets.”
Lu Manman was silent for a second.
She had wanted to get someone else to take over. No matter what, she did not have much trust in Wu Jun at this point. But on second thought, if she replaced Wu Jun now, they might start suspecting her. She might as well play along, using the smokescreen to fool them into thinking that they really had nothing, until they were caught off guard.
“Since Lawyer Wu has said so, then I won’t reject your offer. Please do your best,” she said sincerely.
“Of course, that’s my job.” Mr. Wu nodded. “I’ll prepare the documents for Mr. Lu to appear in court. If Miss Lu makes any progress in the next few days, please contact me immediately.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up, Lu Manman was silent for two minutes.
Wen Yun was getting the best of her.
What happened last night must have really triggered him, and that was why he was so agitated.
She sneered coldly.
At this moment.
There was a knock on the door.
“Come in.”
The door opened, and Lu Manman looked up.
She was stunned.
“What are you doing here?” she asked unhappily.
“I’m leaving if you don’t welcome me.” With that, Mo Yuanxiu turned around to leave.
“Mo Yuanxiu!” Lu Manman simply could not stay calm with this man.
