A few days later, the court officially opened.
Meng Qian was sitting on the dock with her head bowed and her body hunched over. She hadn't appeared in the public eye for a short period of time, and she was so haggard that she couldn't see anyone at all.
But the one sitting on the plaintiff's seat was not Zhong Youyou, but Zhong Guoqiang. He stared at Meng Qian angrily, and tightly clenched his hands on the table.
Before the court session, he asked someone to contact Qin Yao and told Qin Yao that it would be best not to let Zhong Youyou go to court. In any case, at this time, it was time for his father to fulfill his responsibilities as a father. He wanted to protect his daughter to some extent. Taking the plaintiff's box as a plaintiff is not going to be a pleasant experience by any means.
Zhong Youyou's ultimate goal is just to get Meng Qian to be sentenced to the heaviest sentence and go to prison as soon as possible. As for the plaintiff, she doesn't care whether she comes to do it or not.
Just hearing Father Zhong's request made her feel a little complicated. Does the Zhong family want to repay the debts they owed in their previous life? Otherwise, with Zhong Guoqiang's face-saving and reputation-loving personality in the past, let alone going to court, he was afraid of affecting Zhong's reputation even if he made a big fuss.
And now he even volunteered to be the plaintiff...
The Zhong family has indeed changed a lot, but there are some relatives in the world who are probably not well-connected. If you miss it, you miss it, and you can never go back to the past.
Zhong Youyou finally agreed to Father Zhong's request. On the day of the trial, she and Qin Yao were just sitting in the jury box.
The lawyer Qin Yao hired was quite professional, and kept asking Meng Qian to the point of being speechless, forcing Meng Qian to explain clearly one by one the crimes she committed that year in court.
Under the French Open, Meng Qian finally broke down in tears, as if she had been caught by a mouse, feeling ashamed.
The trial lasted more than once and lasted for a long time. In the end, the judge made a final decision and sentenced him to ten years in prison and confiscated all his property.
ten years! Except for Zhong Youyou and others, many people in the jury gasped.
This is already the heaviest punishment!
After hearing this result, Zhong Youyou let out a foul breath, and relaxed her body tiredly. People should pay the price for the crimes they committed. If the original text follows the direction of the original text, Meng Qian and Meng Shixuan, the mother and daughter, will not pay anything at all. , but everyone pities them. And it was not in vain to come here and send Meng Qian to prison.
Qin Yao sat beside her and held her hand tightly.
And Father Zhong, who was sitting on the plaintiff's seat, also looked at Zhong Youyou from a distance. Apart from the resentment towards Meng Qian on his face, there were more guilt, regret, and various complicated emotions towards Zhong Youyou. .
If the original guilt towards Zhong Youyou was only nine points, then after witnessing the interview details with his own eyes, his guilt towards this biological daughter reached its peak overnight.
As an entrepreneur who dominates the market, he felt a sense of frustration and powerlessness for the first time in his life.
Because the past is irreparable, the future is unpredictable, and Zhong Youyou, his biological daughter will never forgive him.
…
He Chunsheng visited Meng Qian for the last time during the final trial. But at this time, Meng Qian was forced by him to sign the divorce agreement. She hated his ruthlessness, and looked at him with resentment.
He Chunsheng also felt very helpless, but now that he himself was in debt and devastated by Meng Qian, how could he care about Meng Qian's feelings? Seeing this last side, it can be regarded as the utmost benevolence. From now on, he will only think that he was blind before, and it would be best if he has nothing to do with Meng Qian in the future.
Before being taken away, Meng Qian eagerly searched the jury box with her cloudy eyes.
However, Meng Shixuan, that biological daughter whom she tried her best to protect until the last moment, has not even come to see her for the last time—it must be because she feels ashamed of her. Meng Qian smiled wryly, wrinkles appeared at the corners of her much older eyes, and some tears leaked out.
At this moment, she glanced at the sunshine outside the court. Ten years, what a long number, she is now forty-seven or eighty-eight, and she will be an old man when she comes out, or an old man who can't do anything and can't keep up with the times. Year? !
Meng Qian suddenly felt deep remorse. Why did she want to toss her life into such a situation? Is it really worth it for that biological daughter who is ashamed to see her for the last time
But no matter what she was thinking at this time, she could only be led to the prison numbly and passively.
Within ten years, you must not come out.
Public opinion has not stopped, and this matter has indeed caused a lot of trouble this time, triggering discussions in many circles. After leaving the court, media reporters and cameras swarmed up like mountains and seas. Qin Yao protected Zhong Youyou from the media, and it took more than 20 minutes to squeeze into the underground parking lot, avoiding the reporters.
Zhong Youyou got into the car first, and Qin Yao answered the phone.
He walked to the far side, smiled at Zhong Youyou in the car, but spoke in a very heavy tone to the phone: "Help me find out how much property Meng Qian had before she went to prison, are you sure it's all confiscated?" ? Check it out."
Although Meng Qian looked miserable at this time and would never turn over again, it was better to be cautious in everything, not to mention it was a matter related to Zhong Youyou, how could Qin Yao be careless. Money can do a lot of things, if Meng Qian is not afraid of death to put the last one before going to prison, it will be troublesome.
The other side of the phone said: "Okay, don't worry."
After a pause, Qin Yao said again: "Also, let her suffer a little bit in prison."
There is no need to tell Zhong Youyou about these things, but he must deal with that poisonous snake.
Father Zhong's car was also in the same underground parking lot. He and his assistant finally squeezed out from the crowd of media reporters in the courtroom, their suits were all crumpled. While patting his suit, he rushed over and found that Qin Yao was on the phone, and he and Zhong Youyou hadn't left yet!
Father Zhong was overjoyed immediately, walked quickly to Qin Yao's car, knocked on the window, and bent down: "Yuyou, let's have lunch with Dad."
At this time, Father Zhong's eyes were full of guilt and distress, and his tone was cautiously flattering.
Zhong Youyou caught a glimpse of the two white hairs on Father Zhong's sideburns, and felt a little uncomfortable. After all, he is a middle-aged man who is about to be fifty years old. He is so majestic and old when he waved his hands tens of millions on weekdays. But she still shook her head: "No."
None of the windows were lowered.
Although Father Zhong was a little embarrassed, he still didn't take that face into account, and continued, "I ordered a table at the hotel, so we, the father and daughter, can have a home-cooked meal, okay? It would be even better if Qin Yao also came together. , Dad promises not to say unnecessary annoying words to you."
Zhong Youyou naturally refused: "I have a place to eat, so you don't have to worry about it."
Her tone was too decisive, which made Zhong Guoqiang feel very embarrassed, and said: "Dad didn't ask you to forgive me, just have a meal, okay? Let the hotel do something you like. Food to eat, let's get together."
Father Zhong's tone was extremely soft.
Standing aside, his assistant was a little stunned. He had never seen Mr. Zhong speak to anyone like this. This low-pitched look is still the gentle expression that the young Mr. Zhong showed when he was chasing after Mrs. Zhong.
Zhong Youyou really doesn't want to eat this meal, it is conceivable that a good meal will definitely be very embarrassing. Moreover, after eating this meal, the Zhong family will be pervasive, and there will be another meal. Her heart is extremely hard, but just now Father Zhong replaced her in the plaintiff's seat, and now she wants to refuse, so she has to find a more tactful reason.
Fortunately, Qin Yao hung up the phone in time and walked over.
He glanced at Zhong Youyou, then looked at Father Zhong, and said lightly: "Uncle, if Youyou doesn't want to go, don't force her."
Father Zhong felt sad, but he couldn't force it. He sighed, let go of his hand on the car window, and just watched Qin Yao get into the car, lit the ignition, and drove the car with the clock on his shoulders. Long and leisurely away.
I don't know if it's because when people get old, they don't become sharp and decisive, but it's easy to think a lot. In recent days, after reading the details of those interviews, he never had a good night's sleep, and was often awakened by nightmares. Recalling those things in his last life and this life, he finally had to admit that he did something wrong.
The mistake was in treating a daughter who was not well-known, and never showing true affection.
Until the car was far away, Father Zhong was still standing there. The assistant found that this once all-powerful man seemed to have aged a lot without knowing when. In the past, he had always acted coldly. Even if he had love for his children, he was still relatively indifferent, but now...
At the same time, Meng Qian huddled in the hotel, but she didn't even dare to open the curtains, and she didn't dare to call customer service. For several days, she was immersed in a cold and fearful mood. She curled up in the bathtub, quickly flipping through the news of the past few days. Of course, she watched the Golden Eye legal program. She was powerless to change anything. She was powerless to stop Meng Qian from being sent to prison.
There was a lot of criticism in the public opinion: "This kind of scumbag deserves to die for what he is doing alive. I hope the sentence will be heavier."
"It is time for our country to establish a criminal law for the trafficking of children and women."
"The Zhong family is quite magnanimous. They didn't put this kind of person to death. Judging by the face of this person, he has an evil look."
Dou Da's tears fell from her eyes, Meng Shixuan bit her lower lip until it bled, the more she looked at it, the more she hated the Zhong family's ruthlessness. Not only did he drive himself out, but he also sent his own mother to prison! Ten years, ten years in prison, and everyone will be ruined after getting out! Even if she looked down on Meng Qian again, she was her biological mother after all, and she has always been very kind to her since the reunion...
Meng Shixuan really hated the Zhong family now.
She wished that the Zhong family would die! Especially Zhong Youyou!
Thinking of this, she gritted her back teeth, opened the phone book, and dialed a number.
"Hello, Mr. Shen? I'm Meng Shixuan, have you read the latest news? I have a deal, I wonder if you're interested."
Room 601 of Juming Luxury Hotel.
The Zhong family started in the real estate industry, and later crossed into various industries, but the foundation is still in real estate. In addition to the Qin family and the Shi family who can compete with it in this city, there is the new Shen's group.
The Shen family has always wanted to cooperate with the Zhong family, but a few years ago, Zhong Guoqiang was so energetic that he didn't care about the pot of gold of Shen Chi, the chairman of the Shen Group, and looked down on him. Therefore, after Shen Chi has developed in recent years , they competed with the Zhong family for business everywhere. In addition to Zhong Guoqiang's unique vision, and the business he looks at is usually fat, there is also Shen Chi's revenge mentality in it.
Meng Shixuan wanted to find someone to help, and Mr. Shen from the Shen family was the perfect fit.
Shen Chi is in his thirties this year and has appeared in financial news many times, so he is considered young and promising. Holding a glass of red wine in his hand, he looked at the young girl in front of him with a half-smile.
To him, although Meng Shixuan was beautiful and pure, she was not attractive to a woman, and he was more interested in the information from her mouth.
"Tell me, what can you give me?"
Meng Shixuan looked at Shen Chi firmly, and she was not stage-frightened: "What do you think, I have been in Zhong's family for so many years, and they treat me as their own daughter, so I naturally know all the information about Zhong's well. Mechanism, down to the personal details of every reused person under Zhong Guoqiang's hands."
Shen Chi became a little interested: "Oh? Tell me."
"Let me sit down first, then talk?"
Shen Chi spread his hands: "Sit down."
Meng Shixuan breathed out, sat down in front of Shen Chi, and formally negotiated with him: "Mr. Shen, do you know why Zhong's has survived for so many years? In addition to taking advantage of the east wind in the real estate industry, it is also because the company's management is like An iron wall, Zhong Guoqiang is very good at this, he has set up a special decision-making group, this group is the core, has almost no contact with other business groups of the company, and is only under his management."
"If you want to break through from the inside, you must start with the decision-making group. If you can play tricks and interfere with its decision-making, it will definitely make the Zhong family lose everything. "
Shen Chi sneered: "Little girl, do you think I can't get these basic information? What do you need?"
Meng Shixuan continued: "But I have information that you don't know. Do you know what meat Zhong Guoqiang is staring at recently?"
Shen Chi frowned slightly: "The information I got here is that he got the information in advance that the government will develop the area in the south of the city within three years, so he plans to buy it and build a golf course. I am bidding with him here—isn't it? ?”
"If Zhong Guoqiang really took a fancy to that piece of land, how could he release the news and let you bid with him? Wouldn't that be a high price, which would do him no good? You underestimate my dad too much." Meng Shixuan sneered.
Shen Chi looked at her fixedly. This little girl really held Guoqiang's movements at one o'clock. He suddenly smiled: "You still think he is your father. Didn't the Zhong family kick you out? Isn't it because you have nowhere to go when you come to me now? Let's talk, Zhong Guoqiang's actual goal is not that of Chengnan." A piece of land, where is that?"
"Taijin old road." Meng Shixuan said: "I packed my luggage before I left, and read all his documents in the study. He has already signed this document. Believe me, the land in the south of the city is just a bluff for him. It is to take down the old Taijin Road unobtrusively, and by the way, raise the price of Tainan, so that you Shen can pay for it. He plans to demolish it and turn it into a commercial center!"
Shen Chi's mind also turned around at this moment, and he couldn't help saying: "Zhong Guoqiang is indeed an old fox, this trick is really clever."
It would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to change the old road of Taijin. Before the working capital was in place, he definitely didn't want other companies to find out this piece of fat, so he released fake news.
Meng Shixuan continued to offer ideas: "Currently, the Zhong family's working capital is only enough for one project. Since he has signed the old way of Taijin, there is no turning back. You can take the opportunity to buy more prices at this time to contain his funds. Then arrange to make trouble at Taijin Old Road in the old city residential area. If the trouble is bigger, it is better if there are casualties, and Zhong's stock will definitely plummet! At this time, all of Zhong Guoqiang's liquidity has been restrained by those two lands. , What is he going to do to rescue him? Couldn't you take the opportunity to make a big deal and buy shares in Zhong's?!"
"You don't have to worry about that." Shen Chi smiled with satisfaction: "I can handle the latter things better than you little girl."
"However." He leaned forward slightly: "Are you sure your dad is actually targeting the old road of Taijin? If this information is false—"
"I will never lie to you." Meng Shixuan swore immediately: "I hope the Zhong family will collapse immediately more than anyone else!"
Shen Chi looked at her steadily and smiled.
This is really a good opportunity sent by God. The internal betrayal of the Zhong family has brought such an important message! If he can take advantage of this time to completely overthrow the Zhong family, then from now on, he will be the one with the surname Shen among the four great families!
