"Look at this statement. It was issued by Zhang Guan's management team. It even published a photocopy of his contract! This dishonest liar, he promised us not to accept interviews from reporters. He deceived us. He killed us, this treacherous person is so shameless!" Old Maliya's anger was completely written on his face.
At this time, old Maliya had obviously forgotten that he was the first to try to trick people into defaulting on debts. Nowadays, it is probably difficult to succeed in cheating on debts, and the blame was placed on Zhang Guan.
Lawyer Noel appeared very calm, and he did not seem to have any major mood swings. For him, no matter what the outcome, the legal fees he receives will not be a penny less.
"Lawyer Noel, now that Zhang Guan has issued this statement, is our original plan still feasible?" Old Malia asked.
Lawyer Noel thought for a while and said, "I said before that what I need is a 'basis', a controversial 'basis', which can allow me to delay the litigation process and force Zhang Guan accepted our settlement proposal, and now it seems that although I can’t say that I can’t find any disputes at all, to be honest, what we have now is still too thin. If we really enter the litigation stage, I can’t delay it for a long time. .”
"How long can it be delayed?" Old Malia asked.
"Based on what we have now, I estimate that if it goes to court, the first trial will take at most five sessions to get the result, and the retrial will be even less. If we try our best, it will delay the litigation process for a year at most." Noel spoke.
"Only one year?" Old Maliya knew that if the time could only be delayed for one year, she would have absolutely no chance to lower the price. Although a sum as large as 500 million U.S. dollars, if you simply calculate the interest on deposits, the interest would be close to 10 million dollars a year. However, compared with 500 million U.S. dollars, saving 10 million U.S. dollars is enough to pay for a lawyer's legal fees.
Old Malia's face became more and more gloomy, and the eyes he looked at Lawyer Noel became more and more unkind. Lawyers who are unable to benefit themselves are worse than trash in the eyes of Maria.
A rush of footsteps came from outside, and the assistant who had followed old Maliya for many years hurried in.
"Sir!" As soon as the assistant entered the room and saw lawyer Noel, he suddenly stopped talking.
Noel understood, bowed slightly, and said, "I won't waste Mr. Mariya's time. I'll take my leave now."
"Lawyer Noel, please go to the lounge next door." The assistant made a gesture of invitation, but after hearing this, Old Maliya showed a hint of surprise.
Lawyer Noel was invited to the lounge next door, and his assistant came to the old Maria and said: "Sir, it's bad, something happened to Master Omi!"
"What trouble did Omi cause me again? Why did I give birth to such an idiot, and why didn't he know how to restrain himself? He felt that he hadn't caused enough trouble!" Malia said.
"Sir, this matter is more serious. Master Omi may face criminal prosecution!" the assistant said.
"Criminal prosecution? What is it? Did you injure someone in a fight? Or was it a drunk driving accident? Was it a traffic accident?" Old Maliya said with a stinking face. What kind of moral character does his team have for his son? Obviously, Very clear.
"No, this time I hired someone to hurt someone," the assistant replied.
"Hire a murderer to hurt someone! Humph!" Old Maliya snorted and said, "Go and spend some money on the injured person, block his mouth, tell him not to press charges, and cover up this matter for me. Also, call Omi back and let him stay at home for a few days."
"Sir, I'm afraid this time it can't be solved with money. We may need the help of Noel's lawyer this time, so I didn't let him leave." The assistant sighed and continued: "Look Just look at the news reports online."
…
"Have you found out who leaked the $500 million bet? He was able to get a photocopy of the contract. It must have been done by one of our own people. There are only a few people who have access to the contract. Is it so difficult to investigate an individual?" Omi said fiercely to his new assistant.
"We have investigated everyone, even those who did not have access to the contract. We have interviewed the six suspects in advance, but they all said they were innocent." The new assistant said.
"If you go to the prison and take a look, nine out of ten people will say that they are innocent." Omi snorted coldly: "If you really can't find out, just fire all six of them. !”
"That's six people? If we fire employees without reason, we have to pay them a lot of money..." the new assistant said.
"What else? You can't find out who did it, otherwise those six people stay and you leave?" Omi scolded loudly.
The new assistant shrank his neck and was so frightened that he didn't even dare to say a word.
At this time, the ringtone of the mobile phone rang, and Omi picked up the phone with an irritated look, only to see that it was a call from his father, Maria Lao.
Although Omi felt guilty, he still answered the phone.
"Omi, get back here right now!" Old Maliya's roar came from the phone.
"Father, please give me some more time. I'm here to find out who leaked the bet..."
"That's not what I'm talking about! You idiot, don't you ever watch the news?" Old Maliya was still roaring.
"News?" Omi was a little confused, and then he immediately realized that something must have happened.
Omi immediately came to the computer and found the latest news.
"This is... how did reporters find out that I hired Roy Fury to attack Zhang Guan! And it was also exposed. The whole thing was described in such detail. Apart from me, only Gaikwood was involved in this matter. That guy knew it. Gaikwood? I understand, it was Gaikwood! It turned out that Gaikwood guy leaked the contract! He used the news to sell money!" Omi had already understood, and at the same time he Also fell into panic.
For Omi, hiring a murderer to injure someone is not a big deal in normal times. At most, it is just a matter of spending some money to seal the injured person's mouth. However, the person he wanted to hurt this time was Zhang Guan, and this was something he couldn't solve with money.
"What should I do? What should I do? Run! Yes, run! Run now! Go back to India!" Omi thought of this and immediately said to the new assistant: "Go and book a ticket for me now, I want to go back to India!"
…
The ringtone of an incoming call woke up Roy Fury, who answered the phone with an unhappy look on his face.
"Roy, run quickly and find a place to hide!" The voice on the other side of the phone was very short of breath.
Roy Fury suddenly sat up from the bed: "What's going on? What happened?"
"Our last attack on Zhang Guan was exposed by reporters. John and Wallace were taken away by the police. The police also came to my place just now. Fortunately, I ran fast and was not caught by the police. Stay. I don’t know how long John and Wallace can stay in the police station. Maybe now that they have confessed, you’d better run away. Maybe the police will come looking for you soon.”
The piercing siren sounded at exactly this moment. Roy Fury jumped out of bed. Through the window, he could see a police car in the distance turning the corner and heading this way.
"I don't think we need 'soon' anymore, the police are already here!" Roy Fury put down his cell phone. He hesitated for a second, then put on his clothes and walked down the stairs slowly.
Roy Fury ultimately did not choose to escape.
…
Not long ago, the match between Zhang Guan and Tyson Fury attracted the attention of countless people. The cause of the incident was because Zhang Guan injured Hughie Fury, so Tyson Fury, as his brother, stepped forward. revenge. Although Tyson Fury did not succeed in revenge, he still gained the respect of many people, who regarded Tyson Fury as a warrior.
But now, things have turned around. According to the so-called "informed people", it turned out that someone deliberately paid to hurt someone to hurt Zhang Guan. However, the person who hurt someone not only failed, but was taught a lesson by Zhang Guan.
The "informed person" said that the person who hired the murderer to hurt the person was Omi, and the motive for the injury was the $500 million bet. If Zhang Guan was injured, he would not be able to continue participating in the F1 race, and the Maliya family could also make money. to $500 million.
The motive of hiring a murderer to injure someone sounds reasonable, but many people still refuse to believe it. However, the suspects caught by the police, including Roy Fury, did not speak hard at all and quickly confessed to everything. fact.
The so-called leniency for confession is also applicable abroad. At least it can win the sympathy of the judge and jurors and make them feel that you are reforming; or it can save the prosecutor some trouble and win the favor of the prosecutor, so as to make the prosecution better. Say a few nice words when you are going to court, like the phrase "I can help you plead with the judge" that often appears in TV dramas.
When the truth was made public, there was an immediate uproar. The British are not without their sense of right and wrong. After learning the truth, they felt that they had been deceived. Not long ago, they were still sympathetic to Hughie Fury and the sixteen-year-old kid who "had a dream", but now it seems that they are condoning criminals!
People were angry, not because the criminal's conspiracy succeeded, nor whether Zhang Guan was wrongfully accused or misunderstood, but because they were fooled. For ordinary people, whether Zhang Guan lives or dies has nothing to do with them. Some people even want to embarrass Zhang Guan, but if someone is taking advantage of them, that is absolutely not allowed.
People are selfish, and there are very few "Holy Mothers" who care about the interests of others. The spirit of dedication is almost impossible to find in the distant East, and it has never existed in the West. Donating money to charity is what wealthy people should do, but ordinary people obviously care more about themselves.
Everyone hopes to stand on the commanding heights of morality, especially those who have "standing in the wrong place", and they can't wait to clear themselves. And Omi, who bought murder and hurt others, has obviously become a person who shows his "morality". "Object.
Various responsibilities are rushing towards Omi. Although Omi has fled back to India, some people in the UK are calling for Omi to be extradited back and face trial under British law.
Also affected was Tyson Fury, who wanted to avenge his brother. The hero in people's eyes has now become the "former" hero.
…
"I was blinded by hatred. I want to say sorry to Zhang Guan. I wrongly blamed him!"
In the camera, Tyson Fury is trying to pretend to be sincere while looking at his speech. However, this famous "big mouth" in boxing is very good at pretending to be awesome, but he is obviously not suitable for this kind of "pretending to be wronged and pitiful". The character and his exaggerated acting skills make this apology more fake than anything else.
Tyson Fury tried his best to show that he was also being used. He wanted to restore his image. More importantly, he wanted to distance himself from this matter. He hoped that this article would be revealed.
Unfortunately, it backfired. The day after Tyson Fury publicly apologized to Zhang Guan, another revelation appeared on the Internet, claiming that Omi had paid Tyson Fury to beat Zhang Guan in the game. Zhang Guan was seriously injured and unable to continue participating in F1 races.
Of course, the media immediately intervened in the investigation of such a high-profile matter. Of course, Tyson Fury would not admit it. If he did, he would be finished. However, the police discovered that Tyson Fury received a huge sum of money from unknown sources before challenging Zhang Guan.
…
In the police station, Tyson Fury tried his best to remain calm when facing the police's questioning.
"Mr. Fury, such a large amount of money should not be your competition bonus or appearance fee, right?" the policeman asked, pointing to the bank statement.
"That's what I won through gambling!" Tyson Fury argued.
"For such a large amount, Bocai Company should give you a tax receipt for withholding personal income tax, right? Can Mr. Fury show it to us?" the policeman then asked.
"Tax bill? I threw it away a long time ago." Tyson Fury continued to make nonsense.
The policeman seemed to have expected this answer. He glanced at Tyson Fury mockingly, and then said: "Mr. Fury, let me remind you that we are the police and we can get the data from the gambling company. More importantly Yes, we can find out which account the money was transferred to you from."
Tyson Fury also realized his naivety. Since the transfer was through a bank, how could the police not find out who gave him the money
He sighed and said helplessly: "Okay, I'll say it!"
…
Zhang Guan was also paying attention to the development of the situation, but he did not expect that the matter would be so complicated.
"This is really a series. The level of complexity and twists could make a movie." Zhang Guan said with a wry smile.
"After knowing the truth of the whole thing, I'm sweating for you. You can resist this! You are really an invincible little strongman." He Yiming patted his growing penis. The little belly sighed.
"By the way, how is Omi, the initiator of the whole thing, doing now?" Zhang Guan asked.
"He has already hid back in India. I asked someone to find out. He is now reclusive, or he has been banned by the Maliya family." He Yiming said.
"We can't give him such an advantage. If he is safe and sound, I will feel unhappy." Zhang Guan said.
"I have to let you vent your anger. What are you going to do?" He Yiming asked.
"Of course let him get the sanctions he deserves!" Zhang Guan took a deep breath and continued: "Isn't the next Olympics held in London? That old guy Sebastian has been stable for too long! I have to Find some helpers to help me out, and also help the old guy find something to do."
