651: Chapter 652: Dead End?_1 651: Chapter 652: Dead End?_1 “You must have heard of my name; I’m fairly renowned in the industry.

Not to brag, but I’ve never lost a Blue Sea lawsuit, at least not when representing defendants.

Of course, this time, I’m collaborating with the prosecution to convict you, which will be even simpler,”

Krus said with a smile.

“A Dragon Country native with a foreign name, fancy that?”

Zhou Mu’er pouted.

Jiang Meng, however, was getting nervous.

She was utterly confident when it came to business, but a case like this was really problematic; she was totally lost, unsure of what to do.

And she had indeed heard of Krus–a very formidable lawyer.

“Husband, could this become troublesome?”

She looked to Xiao Chen for answers.

She knew Xiao Chen was wealthy and tough, but such matters seemed beyond the reach of money and muscle, right?

“Trouble?

Of course, there is trouble!”

Krus laughed before Xiao Chen could speak.

“I’d advise you to settle this with money and keep the peace.

Once a case like this goes to court, it’s bad news for everyone.

Clearly, Lawrence’s family doesn’t wish for a public trial either.

Moreover, Mrs.

Jiang Meng, as a gentleman, I must warn you earnestly,

stay away from Xiao Chen.

He’s definitely going to prison.

It’d be better if you divorced him and found a decent family to marry into.

With your current fame, the queue of men wanting to marry you could stretch across the nation.

How about someone like me, for instance?

As the boss of Krus Law Firm, and its star lawyer, I do have quite the connections in Dragon Country.

If you were with me, at the very least, your company would have no legal problems whatsoever!”

“Compared to my husband, you’re nothing but scum!”

Jiang Meng gave Krus a cold glance.

“Do what you want; we’re certainly not paying.

Husband, let’s go!”

“Hmm!”

Xiao Chen also glanced at Krus.

“The most successful law firm of Blue Sea?

I guess it will be undergoing restructuring soon enough.

Krus, you’ve made quite a sum over the years, haven’t you?

Even resorting to actions like fabricating evidence and bribing witnesses.

You don’t think that just because it hasn’t come to light, no one knows about it, do you?

There are still people in this world with clear eyes.

I’m afraid I won’t be the one going to jail; instead, it’s you who might end up not only disbarred, but also spending some time behind bars!”

After finishing his words, he entered the house with a smile.

Krus wanted to follow, but was stopped by the security guards at the door.

The security of the residence was personally arranged by Tianxing Company; they were all capable hands.

Just standing there, they could send shivers down Krus’s spine.

“Let’s go!”

Krus clenched his teeth.

“I’m giving you three days.

If you’re still not willing to resolve this privately by then, don’t blame us for not being courteous!”

In the car, Krus made a call to Tie Gongji: “Chairman Tie, Xiao Chen and Jiang Meng are unyielding, so I hope that through your connections, you can get in touch with all the law firms in Blue Sea and ensure they don’t take Jiang Meng’s case.

I want to see how they plan to win this lawsuit without a lawyer!”

“Heh, don’t worry, I’ve got it handled.

I’ve already passed the word along at the law firms.

No one would dare to take it,”

Tie Gongji replied with a sneer.

Thinking of fighting a lawsuit?

Dream on.

In this day and age, even if you truly are innocent, you won’t stand a chance without a good lawyer.”

Back at home, Jiang Meng still felt uneasy, so she made a call to the Blue Sea law firm, inquiring one by one.

When people heard it was her lawsuit, they all said they were too busy to take the case.

Jiang Meng then understood that they really intended to push Xiao Chen to his limits.

“Honey, are you sure everything is fine?

Their reach has even extended to the law firms; this is going to be troublesome.

Unless we hire a lawyer from out of town, but even then, those lawyers might not be willing to come.

The power of the Bihai Club might be even more fearsome than we imagined!”

Jiang Meng grew increasingly worried.

She even felt that her husband might have underestimated their adversaries this time.

“Everything is within my expectations.

To destroy them, we must first drive them to madness,”

Xiao Chen said with a smile, “Don’t worry about the lawyer issue; I’ve got it all sorted out.

I’m just curious to see what other tactics they have up their sleeves.”

Jiang Meng managed a bitter smile.

“You really are confident.”

This was the first time she had confronted such a situation.

None of their previous opponents had managed to take control of law firms.

“Then I’ll wait and see what kind of show these people can put on next.”

Jiang Meng nodded.

The calm of Xiao Chen gave her enough courage.

That day, as Jiang Meng went to work at the company, she received a visitor.

It was Tie Gongji, one of the Twelve Directors of the Bihai Club.

Tie Gongji represented the Bihai Club.

He made an offer of ten billion to buy all of Xinmeng Group’s industrial assets in Blue Sea.

“Chairman Jiang Meng, you’re facing difficulties, aren’t you?

There’s really no need to be so stubborn.

Sell the Blue Sea assets to me, wouldn’t it be nice to walk away with ten billion?

After all, even without the Blue Sea assets, your company can make money elsewhere.

It’s truly unnecessary!”

Tie Gongji took out a cigarette and was about to light it, but Ren Jing snuffed it out in one swift motion, “Our chairman does not like people smoking in front of her!”

Tie Gongji frowned.

He still put down the cigarette and said, “The Blue Sea assets are like a hemorrhoid to you now; if you don’t cut it off, it will continue to cause you pain.”

“Haha, I didn’t realize a hemorrhoid was to your liking, Director Tie.

You truly have an unusual taste,”

Jiang Meng said with a light laugh, “Sorry, but ten billion is simply too low to buy our Blue Sea assets.

You’re greatly underestimating the value of our company.

Just the factory we acquired from the Zhou Family is worth twenty billion, not to mention the ones we built ourselves.

These assets cannot be acquired for less than thirty billion.

Your offer of ten billion is simply too shrewd.”

“Times have changed.

You are facing trouble now,”

Tie Gongji said with a smile, “If you don’t sell, I might only offer five billion tomorrow.

I guarantee, in Blue Sea, no one but the Bihai Club would dare to buy your assets!”

“Ren Jing, show the guest out.

It seems Director Tie doesn’t quite understand what I’m saying.

If you like buying hemorrhoids, you should look elsewhere.

Xinmeng Group certainly doesn’t have what you’re looking for,”

Jiang Meng waved her hand dismissively.

“Hmph, Jiang Meng, don’t reject a toast only to drink a forfeit.

Without anyone to inject capital, the general agents have already fled.

Only idiots like Liu Hong would dare to continue working with you, and the construction sites are only still active for now.

But do you believe that if I tell them you’re out of money, they’ll all desert you?

Moreover, you’ve recruited a bunch of new employees in Blue Sea, right?

Do you think they will be as loyal to you as the old staff of Xinmeng Group?

They’ll soon quit.

Without workers, I’ll see how you plan to operate!”

Tie Gongji was now openly threatening her.
