Chapter 198: Mutation 4

he opposing lawyer speechless. However, Ms. Shu remained calm, asked the accompanying lawyer to continue the argument, and calmly called an ambulance to the hospital.She became famous overnight becau...She turned pale. How could she, with her meager virtues, deserve such meticulous planning to kill her by Cheng Zhimin Just because she had fallen in love with his son, he wanted to drag her and all her loved ones down to hell togetherDirector Xiao was called over and over again by the big boss for a talk. 。The big boss won't care which lawyer is actually executing the project, he will only hold Xiao Junhua accountable for negligence, saying she is incapable of leading her team of lawyers well. 。Similarly, if this gets exposed, the outside world and clients and colleagues will only say that Hongzheng Law Firm was negligent, that the Hongzheng Law Firm M&A team was incompetent, leading to such a major mistake, causing clients to lose hundreds of millions. 。Once Director Xiao bears this reputation, losing the trust of the outside world and customers, the foundation he built for his business with so much hard work will be destroyed. It will be very difficult for him to stand firm in the industry afterwards. 。Shū Tínglán was sitting in Director Xiǎo's office at the moment, only to hear his phone ringing non-stop. Calls kept coming in. 。

A close colleague called to inquire about the news. 。

Director Xiao's reputation in the industry is well-known. Now there are rumors circulating, and many of his peers can't help but gloat, even hoping that it's true, so that Director Xiao and Hongzheng Law Firm will be brought down. 。

Several old customers also called to question whether this was true. How could you make such a low-level mistake This makes it difficult for us to trust you in the future. 。Director Xiao explained that the matter is still under investigation. She is confident in her professional abilities and even more so in her team members. 。Even in such a hectic situation, Director Xiao still maintained Shu Tinglan's reputation. In fact, throughout the entire incident, she didn't scold Shu Tinglan once. 。Later, she simply stopped answering the phone. Meanwhile, Zhou Ming's phone kept ringing incessantly, just like Xiao Zhuanren's situation. 。Shu Tinglan listened quietly, all her emotions swirling together: self-blame, guilt, pain. 。She walked out with her phone, dialing Cheng Zhimin's number. It rang once before being hung up. 。After dialing several more times, Cheng Zhimin's cold voice came through.

"What is it"

"What do you want to do" Shu Tinglan asked, his voice trembling, and his hand holding the phone was shaking uncontrollably. 。Compared to her anger and excitement, Cheng Zhimin on the other end remained cold;

"What do I want to do You know." 。Shutinglan, I gave you a chance. This is the price you pay for your ignorance. 。By the way, don't go to Yu An to complain, it won't help. 。Since I have taken this step, I am prepared to sever ties with him as a mother and son. 。With your upbringing, you cannot possibly understand the importance of family honor to us. For this, we are willing to sacrifice everything. 。After Cheng Zhimin finished speaking, she hung up the phone with a click without any hesitation. 。Family glory Is it really so important Can it be above family Can it casually destroy another person's life

Yes, Shu Tinglan couldn't understand, only the giant stone in her heart grew heavier and heavier. 。She hurried back to Director Xiao's office and promised: "I will be responsible for..." 。This was the only thing she could do, to stand up bravely and take responsibility. 。Director Xiao looked at her coldly.

"You're responsible Can you afford 50 million or can you afford the damage to my reputation"

"Director Xiao, trust me, I will solve..." 。Perhaps her tone was too firm, Director Xiao looked at her seriously and asked: "How do you want to solve it How can you solve it" 。。"She designed it""Yes, the land management center at Yu Zhong Real Estate, she arranged security and fake staff through her connections to give me false information." 。If what you say is true, then officially we can't let her frame us like this. We could find evidence to prove that she instigated others to do it; privately speaking, since she's Mr. Zhuo's mother, then Mr. Zhuo should step forward and resolve this. 。Mr. Xiao is single and has no experience living with a wife's family, so of course he considers this issue from an idealized perspective. 。Shu Tinglan gently shook her head: “Her power and means are impossible to leave us with any evidence” 。Lizhen Chuang's CEO introduced me to this project. If this project really fails, Lizhen Chuang will lose several hundred million. 。Since Mr. Gao is willing to spend hundreds of millions to play with her, there are only two possibilities. One possibility is that Mr. Gao has a handle on her and spends money to buy peace. The second possibility is that this whole thing is a conspiracy from beginning to end, orchestrated by her, Mr. Gao of Lisen Real Estate, and Mr. Ma of Yuzhong Real Estate. Their aim is to force me to submit. 。She analyzed the problem with remarkable calmness, devoid of any trace of her former naivety. 。She went on to say, "I'm more inclined to believe the latter; it was a play they orchestrated themselves." 。To the outside world, Lison Real Estate lost hundreds of millions due to our negligence in due diligence. In reality, those hundreds of millions simply went from one pocket to another. 。They will not actually suffer any losses, but the blow to our law firm would be devastating. 。I have to say, Cheng Zhimin knows her too well. He's using her career, her colleagues, and even their friendship as leverage. She's cornered. 。And what about Mr. Zhu Have you told him about this Shutinglan shook her head.

"Since his mother took this step, she must have intended to sever ties with him." 。She recalled the words Cheng Zhimin had said on the phone just now, there was no room for turning back. She believed that Cheng Zhimin could definitely do this, sacrificing everyone for the so-called family glory. 。As it neared quitting time, Zhuo Yu'an came to pick her up. He must have heard about what happened because his face was grim when he saw her. “So your ‘business trip’ last night was for this How long do you plan on keeping this from me” He was usually busy and didn't pay attention to these things. If not for Zhang, the lawyer from the group, telling him today, he would have been clueless. 。Just don't want you to worry. 。She looked out the window, speaking softly, her heart filled with uncertainty and pain. When Cheng Zhimin hung up on her, she actually already had the answer in her heart. 。Cheng Zhimin was too smart, and knew her too well. He struck at her weakness with a fatal blow. 。She didn't care if she was hurt, but she couldn't stand to see Director Xiao, Zhou Ming, Cheng Chen, and Hongzheng Law Firm destroyed because of her. 。Zhuo Yuan'an turned his face iron-grey and, without a word, reversed the direction of the steering wheel and headed towards the Zhuo family. 。Clenching his jaw, his entire face was taut with barely suppressed rage, his eyes fixed ahead with a venomous glare. 。Shu Tinglan had never seen him like this before, not even when he dealt with Zhang Tao in Qining. 。She reached out and gently touched his stiff cheek.

"I'm fine, relax." 。n stopped him from continuing, "Let's not talk about the past." 。I know 。Shu Tinglan said softly, her right hand still clasped in Zhuo Yu'an's left. There were many things between them that didn't ne...
