"What to do now?", Alex had a headache. The importance of this letter is self-evident. If they are just "ordinary people", do not have an official position or are just a businessman, then this letter will be very important to them. It was said that they were not threatening at all, but it happened that one of them was an official and the other was a soldier. No matter who they are, they are all members of the official system of the empire. What they need is not only a hard-working and responsible work attitude, but also a more positive personal image.
No matter which political system it is, it will only promote positive things, because this is what meets the needs of the general public and what everyone aspires to. Once this scandal breaks out, they may not receive legal trouble because of it, but You will encounter obstacles in your official career. This kind of scandal will have a long-lasting negative impact, and it is very likely to limit their original channels for promotion, and face the despair of being unable to be promoted throughout their lives.
So Alex immediately had a headache. He was a government official, and the situation was more complicated than that of the army. He would be taken down if he was not careful.
Ed's eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and he also felt troubled by this. Whether he could become a major general before the age of fifty, the next ten years would be his critical period. He needs to do a lot of work to make the army's top brass trust him, and he also needs to invest a lot of money to let those generals know that he is "one of their own." For this, he not only needs a positive image, but also sufficient funds.
Once he becomes a major general, his investment can be recovered and generate more returns, power, money, at his fingertips.
A fist hit the table and the table jumped. The girl in the distance was frightened by the sudden loud noise. She glanced at the table and began to comfort the other guests and apologized to them for the fault that was not her own.
Alex was also startled, "Brother, calm down, what do we do now?"
Ed took a few deep breaths to calm down the raging flames in his heart. He calmed down and forced himself to think. Thinking is the way of human progress. This is what the Governor told him. Although he didn't like the old man, he still remembered some of the old man's words very clearly.
"Perhaps, we should kill the lawyer named Kevin and the person who betrayed us." After thinking for a while, Ed felt that his idea was fine. If Kevin hadn't suddenly intervened, there wouldn't be such a thing. If there are many things, Vivian will definitely lose the lawsuit, and they will be able to get the artwork of amazing value, and then Alex will pursue his promotion path while he continues to run his own affairs in the army.
But with the addition of this lawyer named Kevin, everything began to make them a little confused. The constant accidents and losses were really unbearable. Although he lost this round, he did not intend to swallow his anger silently, he wanted "revenge".
"Kill Kevin?" Alex laughed absurdly, "Are you sure what you are talking about? He is a very famous lawyer. If we kill him, people will guess that we did it."
"But they have no evidence!" Aite pulled on his tie and stood up. "The old man is dead, but he still left us something we can't see. Those uncles will see it. The old man saved us out of kindness, and no one can touch us until there is conclusive evidence, no one!"
The next day's court argument ended because the plaintiff voluntarily withdrew the lawsuit. The court announced the final result of the trial in court. Brothers Ed and Alex could only obtain the artworks in the storage room, hang them on the walls and display them in the room. The artwork here belongs to Vivian.
Kevin left the court with Vivian with a smile on his face. The moment he stood on the steps outside the court, many reporters swarmed in. People wanted to hear what the barrister had to say.
Kevin didn't have the slightest stage fright when facing so many reporters. He had long been accustomed to such scenes, and it seemed to have become a part of his life. Keep winning lawsuits, keep being bragging by reporters, keep becoming a news figure, and keep getting more benefits.
"I have nothing to say. This is not the first time I have won a lawsuit, nor will it be the last time I win a lawsuit. The myth will always continue. What? Are you talking about the luxurious legal team hired by the other party?" Kevin showed a contemptuous smile, raised his chin slightly, and said in an arrogant tone: "Humans can't defeat gods, just like they can't defeat me. Thank you, thank you all!"
Following Kevin's "declaration" the next day, similar headlines were used in all the newspapers in the state of Kansas to describe the high-profile lawsuit and Kevin - "The Insurmountable Peak".
A whole team of lawyers recruited almost the best lawyers in Kansas, but they eventually lost to Kevin. The reporters didn't care about the competition between the two sides outside the court. All they needed was the result.
A group of people lost to one person. No other topic can attract people's attention as much as personal heroism. What's more, behind this lawsuit is Vivian, the pioneer and leader of the equal rights movement.
As an administrative official, Alex naturally knew the terrifying power of public opinion, so he also found a few reporters, and then published some articles, carefully "explaining" the reasons why Vivian's two brothers withdrew the lawsuit. Inspired by Vivian's behavior and persuasion, they realized that being a family together was far more important than competing for power and gain, so they gave up fighting for the Governor's inheritance and chose to continue to be a family.
Their unparalleled correct political views and positions have indeed brought them a lot of glory.
After Kevin and Vivian handed over the last document and called the bank to confirm that the two million yuan had been credited, he immediately stood up and said goodbye to Vivian and Dufo, although this period of time was very difficult. He was tired but he felt that it was all worth it. Because of his fatigue, he had two million more savings in the bank.
Don’t think it’s too much, this is still a friendly price. If this case is calculated based on Kevin’s current market price, the valuation of their disputed artwork is less than 20 million. He won this lawsuit for Vivian, so he should get The commission for winning the lawsuit is about four million. Because this was Du Lin's friend, he only charged a cost price of two million.
Sometimes this guy is not just a money bastard, at least he has a little bit of humanity.
Dufo said he wanted to see him off, but he declined Dufo's kindness. It was only three kilometers from the Governor's Palace to the station, and there were fewer vehicles at night, so it was not as congested as during the day. Besides, he didn't plan to return to the imperial capital right away. After finally returning to his hometown, it felt a bit like a loss if he didn't experience the enthusiasm of the girls in his hometown here.
The excitement brought by two million made him need to vent. He would find at least three girls tonight, or four!
He left the Governor's Mansion in the car left by His Excellency the Governor. All he had to do was park the car in the hotel next to the station tomorrow, and Mr. Butler would have someone pick it up.
Kevin, who came out of the Governor's Mansion, didn't notice that a small tail was already following behind him. His attention was completely focused on the surrounding bars and entertainment venues that were open all night.
Aldo has developed well in recent years. As the capital of Kamles, the state government has given certain policy inclinations. It cannot be allowed to be dilapidated, which will damage the image of Kamles.
Stopping at an intersection with a traffic light, Kevin took out a cigarette while looking at the flashing red light. He had already found a place to have fun at night. Not far away was a splendid bar with a decoration style a bit like that of the Imperial Capital. It's an entertainment venue nearby. You can tell what this store does when you see it from a distance.
The flashing of the red light gradually dimmed, and after a second of completely extinguishing, the green light came on. He started the car and stepped on the pedal of the power cabin. The moment the vehicle passed the intersection, a dazzling light source shone on him from the intersection on his right. on his face. Before he could curse these vehicles with their headlights on in the middle of the night, the truck had already crashed into his car.
The harsh sound caused by the friction between the rubber tires and the ground could not cover up the roar of the impact. The car driven by Kevin was hit and flew out. It rolled several times in the air and then rolled over to the ground. It was stuck on the knocked down street lamp and between walls.
The truck that got into the accident quickly turned off its headlights and disappeared into the late night streets of Orodo.
More than ten minutes later, the hospital's ambulance and police car arrived belatedly. They only saw the unrecognizable car, but not the perpetrator. There is no doubt that this must have been done by a large truck. Only they could cause such a serious car accident, and only they would flee the scene as soon as possible.
This seems to be a law that no one understands. Every year, many car accidents are caused by large trucks, and then these large trucks will escape.
They found Kevin in the wreckage of the car. He had fallen into a coma due to blood loss. What was even more troublesome was that his leg was stuck under the steering wheel and could not be pulled out at all.
"How about amputating his legs? If he continues to be dragged on, he may die of hemorrhagic shock." An emergency doctor gave very professional advice. The fire station is at least five minutes away from here. After they arrived, they had to use hydraulic machinery to open the steering wheel, which would take some time. It added up to about ten minutes. This guy might not be able to hold on for that long.
Just when the police officer on the scene was about to saw off the guy's legs, his partner smiled bitterly and held out a license plate, "Look, the Governor's Mansion's car!"
