Yes, to Tang Wenyi, it was just a few lives. It was nothing. Besides, what Lu Ze did was unintentional. After he was released, she could just teach him well. In her eyes, he did not commit such grave sins that he had to go to prison.
When Old Master heard her words, he did not retort. As the saying goes, âPeople who donât belong together donât get to live together.â As a family, they shared the same traits. After all, there are many people who have done worse than Lu Ze, he thought. On what basis should they arrest my grandson but not others?
âMy familyâs lawyers are not capable of releasing the people arrested by the Double Regulations. Iâve already asked them. At most, they could reduce the sentence by a few years. But if this matter is dealt with by a strict judge, it will likely be a life sentence and they can only reduce it to 50 to 60 years. When he comes out, heâll be older than me!â
Tang Wenyi panicked on the other end of the phone. âThen, then what should we do? Weâve placed all our hopes on you. If you canât do anything about it, wonât Ah Zeâs life be over? Old Master, I beg you, please think of a way. I only have one son!â
The old master heaved a long sigh. He instinctively thought of Lu Mingâs face and gritted his teeth in anger! He was indeed the adopted son of that sly old fox, Tang Mingkun. He had forced Lu Ze to a dead end! Damn it, little bastard! he thought. He would never let Lu Ming off!
âI know a law firm. If itâs them, thereâs a high chance that they can save Lu Ze. Their professional ability can be considered top-notch in the industry. If they canât do anything about it, then there wonât be any lawyers in the country who can help Lu Ze. If I remember correctly, the name is some Themis Law Firm.â
He looked at Butler He uncertainly. Butler He nodded. âItâs Themis. Itâs said that its headquarters are in Shanghai and the office is quite close to Third Miss.â âYes, thatâs it. Do you understand?â
Tang Wenyi, who was far away in Shanghai, fell silent. She looked at Lu Yaohua in disbelief. Did I hear wrongly? The old man actually asked me to collaborate with Themis?! She had heard that this law firm would not fight a war that they had no chance of winning, but the problem wasâ¦
âOld Master, do you know who the boss of Themis is?â
The baffling question stunned the old master for a moment. He asked curiously, âWho is it? What has this got to do with seeking cooperation?â
âYes! Itâs too important! The boss of Themis is Lu Ming!â
Lu Ming? he thought.
The old masterâs eyes widened. Why is this little bastard everywhere?!
âAre you sure? Isnât his business development too broad?â
An affirmative answer came from the other end. âItâs not like you donât know. A while ago, that bastard merged all the companies under him, and Themis was one of them. Also⦠Themis filed a lawsuit against us on behalf of those at the bottom in the matter of the Lu Corporation cutting corners and building unsafe apartments.â Both parties did not know what to say. The old master rubbed his temples and could not help but sigh. Why do I feel like this world is joking with us?
He said helplessly, âWhether it works or not, we have to try first. Who knows, the other party might really agree to collaborate? We have nowhere to go.â
If not for the fact that they could not find a good lawyer, would they have gone to look for their enemy?
âOkay.â
Shanghai, Youhua Café.
Zhou Feng sat by the window and looked at the short, fat middle-aged man with a faint smile. He said, â4 million yuan. Are you willing to collaborate with us?â
The middle-aged man rolled his eyes and rubbed his hands in an unscrupulous manner. He said, âYou should know that my life is quite difficult, right? This is not a small matter. 4 million yuan is not enough to offend the Lu family, but if youâre willing to give me 5 million yuan, I will comply!â This kind of person was someone who took advantage of others. If Zhou Feng had suggested 5 million yuan, perhaps he would raise it to 6 million yuan. He was testing his bottom line step by step! He was not a fool.
Zhou Feng rolled his eyes vaguely and said, âIâve doubled the price! Mr. Wang Dong, I advise you not to be ungrateful. Iâm willing to pay so much money to give you face, but youâre going too far. Actually, I donât mind not giving you a single cent and using my power to force you to tell the truth. Donât forget, dealing with you is as easy as crushing an ant!â
He took a leisurely sip of coffee and continued, âFour million yuan is my bottom line. Donât use the Lu family to suppress me. The Lu family is nothing now. What are you afraid of?! Lu Yaohua can only give you 2 million yuan. Doubling it is enough to show my sincerity!â
âHow can you say that? Youâre asking me for a favor now, right? If youâre unwilling, then forget it.â
Although Wang Dong said that, his body did not show the slightest intention of leaving. He wanted to use this to threaten Zhou Feng to achieve his goal!
A glint flashed across his eyes. He did not expect his luck to be so good lately. People had been coming, one after another, to give him money!
