After seeing the lawyer's reply, Joey knew what to do.
She backed up the recording of the phone call with Jiang Rui, and then told Song Heran about it.
Song Heran was very angry when he heard the figure of 500,000. These people sold Lu Lu to them as an item.
After hearing that Joey said that he had consulted a lawyer and that Jiang's actions were completely criminal, he was relieved.
As a result, Lu Lu's affairs became difficult. Song Heran couldn't think of a perfect solution, so he looked at Joey.
"Sister Qiao, what shall we do now?"
As early as on the way to find Song Heran, Joey had already thought of a countermeasure.
"We can first promise Jiang Rui to agree to give him 500,000 yuan, but the money can only be paid to them after the matter is completed."
"Then they will definitely ask for a deposit. As long as we pay the deposit, this matter will become a transaction and constitute a crime." Song Heran said while thinking.
"Yes, you are right, so we can't give him a deposit."
"But if they don't give it, will they be willing to come forward?"
Jiang Rui's face appeared in Qiao Ran's mind, and she replied firmly, "Yes."
Will.
She knows a money-grubbing villain like Jiang Rui too well, such a person will never let go of any opportunity to make money.
For Lu Lu's matter, the legal fees and lawyer's fees are all paid by them. For Jiang Rui's family, they just came out to be a lawyer appointment. They don't have to pay anything at all, and they won't lose anything. For the deposit, Jiang Rui would also gamble for the 500,000 that he might get afterwards.
Now they can pretend to promise Jiang Rui, and when Lu Lu's custody is in their hands, the money matter can be ignored.
If the other party insists on making a fuss, release the call recording directly.
This phone recording is evidence of Jiang Rui's crime of child trafficking. Child trafficking is not a small crime. If he doesn't want to go to jail, he should know how to do it.
As an agent, Joey can't count how many times she has manipulated the public relations team and how many times she has intentionally guided fans and passers-by in order to make the artist popular.
She is the best at controlling other people's psychology.
Song Heran was still young, and he didn't think so comprehensively about these things. After hearing Joey's plan, he was overwhelmed with admiration.
If it weren't for Joey, he might really have paid half a million in the end.
But since the other party is such a money-greedy villain, it's not just a matter of giving money once, the future is likely to be a bottomless pit.
It's better to use Joey's method. They can successfully obtain the custody of Lu Lu and hold each other's handle so that the other party can't make any more fools.
"Okay, Sister Joy, I'll listen to you on this matter, and you can do whatever you say."
"Okay, then I'll give Jiang Rui an answer right away."
"it is good."
After speaking, Joey immediately called Jiang Rui and recorded the entire conversation.
"Sister Qiao, how is your discussion going?"
"My friend said that it is okay to give you half a million yuan, but you must guarantee that from now on, you will completely break off relations with Lu Lu, and you will never appear in front of Lu Lu again, and don't even think about asking for money again."
"Of course, with 500,000, Lu Lu has nothing to do with us anymore. Whether she lives or dies, whether she has money or not, has nothing to do with us."
"Okay, then I'll let our entrusted lawyer contact you. You just need to cooperate with him, and he will handle the rest."
"Okay, no problem, but when will you give us the money?"
"After that."
"That can't be done. In case you turn your back on it later and refuse to accept it, you should at least pay a deposit of 200,000 yuan first, otherwise this matter will be avoided."
"As you said, what if you turn your face and deny it afterwards? There is no loss for you to come forward or not face this matter, but for us, we may face a situation where we are short of people and money. .”
Joey changed his polite tone before, and said coldly: "No one is a fool, how can there be any reason to take money before doing something, what do you think."
"But if you lie to me..."
Before Jiang Rui finished speaking, he was interrupted by Joey.
Joey said: "What reason do we have to lie to you? Lu Lu is staying in the fire pit of his stepmother now. Isn't it a fire pit in your hands? Do you think we are idle? We will push her from one fire pit to another In a fire pit?"
Jiang Rui is just a young man with little knowledge and little knowledge. An agent like Joey who has been in the workplace for more than ten years and fights against big bosses every day must be too immature.
Joey's Jiang Rui couldn't say anything to refute, but now he was only thinking about money, and he didn't dare to offend Joey by saying harsh words, otherwise the cooked duck would fly away.
In desperation, he could only keep silent.
Seeing that the other party's arrogance was obviously suppressed, Joy pursued the victory and continued: "500,000 is not a big number for us, but no one's money comes from strong winds. If you trust us, then help us." We are busy, if you can't believe it, forget it."
After Joey finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately, and Jiang Rui's nerves on the other end of the phone were tense.
At this moment, his mind is full of whether Qiao Ran will really let this matter go, and the half a million will really be gone.
He is working in real estate sales now, but he can't sell a house for three months, and he just gets by with a basic salary of 3,000 yuan a month, and 500,000 yuan is money he can't earn back after ten years of work.
You can't offend Joey, the benefactor.
Jiang Rui didn't know what to do, he decided to go home and discuss with his parents what they should do next.
After Hu Fangli heard the news, she was also indignant on behalf of her son, and cursed: "These rich people don't have a good thing. They have ghosts and ghosts, and they know how to plot against ordinary people like us."
"Son, don't listen to her. A deposit is required, 200,000 yuan, not a penny less."
"You can't make concessions in front of this kind of people. They are rich people. The more you give in, the more they will squeeze your value. When it's useless, just throw it away."
Jiang Bin also echoed, "It's really evil capitalism."
After Jiang Rui heard the scolding from his parents, his mind became even more confused, and he said speechlessly: "But if we don't compromise, if the woman doesn't ask us for help, then there is really no possibility of getting the money."
"How is this possible, son, you are too simple, don't be fooled by these people's rhetoric."
"Mom, what do you think they lied to me for? If they don't give us money, then we won't give Lu Lu custody. Anyway, Lu Lu is in our hands."
"Then if they don't want Lu Lu, then we won't lose money by stealing chickens. If we don't get the money, we have to raise another mouth."
"Mom, how is this possible? They hired lawyers to file a lawsuit and spent money and energy. If they didn't really want to adopt Lu Lu, how could they spend so much trouble?"
"You said so too."
"What do you mean, son?"
Hearing this, Jiang Rui looked at Jiang Bin who had been silent all this time, and at this moment Jiang Bin spoke.
"This matter is nothing to us. Even if they don't want to adopt Lu Lu in the future, if we get Lu Lu's custody through a lawsuit, we can get one-third of the inheritance left by Lu Yuanzhou after his death. one."
Hu Fangli and Jiang Rui were both surprised and happy when they heard the words, and said excitedly: "Yes, why didn't I expect that there would be an inheritance."
Lu Yuanzhou was very poor when he married Jiang Mo, but in the second year of their marriage, Lu Yuanzhou was promoted, and Lu Lu bought a house the year Lu Lu was born.
Although the house is a second-hand house, in an old community, and the location is not very good, such a house may not be worth much in other cities, but that is the imperial capital.
Whether the house is mortgaged or paid in full, they don't know, but one-third of the inheritance, as small as hundreds of thousands, must be there.
Thinking about it this way, this matter will only benefit them.
So Jiang Ruidang even called Joey back and agreed to her request.
***
In the fast-paced city of the imperial capital, the efficiency of doing things is so fast that you can't imagine.
After the prosecution, the case was filed within a few days, and on the third day after the filing, Zou Lixiang received a court summons.
Zou Lixiang was dumbfounded when he received the court summons.
She never expected that some relatives surnamed Jiang would come out of Lu Lu. These relatives also accused her of abusing Lu Lu all the year round, and wanted to deprive her of her guardian rights and regain her custody rights.
Lu Yuanzhou grew up in an orphanage since he was a child. He was an orphan and had no relatives at all.
She remembered that Lu Lu's mother's surname was Jiang, so she must be a relative from her mother's side.
When she and Lu Yuanzhou were getting along well, I heard Lu Yuanzhou mention a few things about Lu Lu's mother. The Jiang family has been oppressing Lu Lu's mother, wanting Lu Lu's mother to be a demon to help his younger brother, and even wanting to use her in exchange for a high-value gift to fund his younger brother's marriage. , Lu Lu's mother endured it for many years, and finally broke out, severed ties with her family, and never had any contact with her again.
Relatives who haven't been in touch for so many years suddenly sue her for abusing Lu Lu. Isn't Sima Zhao's heart known to everyone
Either he accidentally learned that Lu Lu was now a cash cow, and wanted to take her back to make money for them.
Either they are greedy for the inheritance left by Lu Yuanzhou after his death.
No matter which of these two possibilities it is, Zou Lixiang's teeth itch with hatred.
Have you ever visited a child before you died, and bought a bite for the child? Now that the person is dead, he is very ruthless in dividing the property, and directly sues.
Zou Lixiang was aggrieved, but she didn't know what to do now, so she could only consult a lawyer.
But the lawyer told her that because the stepmother has no blood relationship with the child, it is very disadvantageous in competing for the custody of the child. Of course, it is not impossible.
The court will respect the child's own wishes to the greatest extent. If the child takes the initiative to express to the court that the stepmother treats her better and she is more willing to follow the stepmother, then she is very likely to win the case.
Hearing this, Zou Lixiang's heart skipped a beat.
She knew that it was all over. Lu Lu was so afraid of her, how could he be willing to follow her.
Is she really going to hand over Lu Lu's custody
Zou Lixiang was very unwilling, but she was helpless. She sat on the sofa distraught, not knowing what to do.
And at this moment, a young man appeared at the gate of the community.
The young man was wearing a white shirt and carrying a backpack. He was thin and tall. He looked very refined and looked like a student.
He looked at the address sent by the professor with his mobile phone, checked the address information at the gate of the community, and asked the security guard at the gate worriedly: "Uncle, is this No. 73, Jiujie Lane, Kangnaixin Community?"
"That's right, it's here, young man, who are you looking for?"
"I'm looking for Lu Yuanzhou, do you know Uncle?"
"Lu Yuanzhou, he passed away half a year ago, what do you want him for?"
"What, Lu Yuanzhou passed away?"
"Yes, it happened at the end of last year. Who are you?"
"Uh, that's it." The young man showed a bit of sadness in his eyes, and he continued to ask, "What about Lu Yuanzhou's family, his wife or children?"
This is an old community, and there are mostly middle-aged and elderly people in the community. They gather in the community to play cards and gossip when they have free time. Anyone in the community can't escape their mouths, so the security guards know a lot.
It happened to be boring at work, and it was rare for someone to talk, so the security guard opened the chatterbox.
He said: "This Lu Yuanzhou is also a poor man. His daughter is only one year old, and his first wife is gone. He has no big man to help him, and he has a little baby by himself. Later, everyone persuaded him to be young again. Finding one, he was not happy at first, but later he couldn’t help it, the child was too young, so he found a divorced partner with a baby to live with.”
The security guard sighed at this point, and continued: "As a result, he died in a car accident not long after his second marriage. After his death, his daughter has been bullied and abused by this stepmother."
Hearing this, the young man hurriedly asked, "Then Lu Yuanzhou's daughter still lives here?"
"It's been there before. I don't know where her stepmother has messed with her during this time. I heard that a film crew went to the kindergarten to choose a young actor and picked Lu Lu. Recently, they are all filming in the film crew."
"I don't know if it's a serious crew, and I haven't seen her care about it, so she treats the child as a cash cow."
The young man hurriedly wrote down what the security guard said on his mobile phone, and asked, "Just now you said that the little girl's name is Lu Lu, right? Which kindergarten does she attend?"
"Jinxin Kindergarten is nearby. Turn left at the end of the road ahead. All our children go to school there."
"Okay, thank you."
After the young man thanked him, he hurried towards the kindergarten, when his cell phone rang.
After seeing the note on the caller ID, the young man stopped immediately and even looked serious.
"Hello, Professor Lu."
"Xiao Zhuo, have you arrived? How is the situation?"
A dignified voice came from the phone, and the young man suddenly became nervous.
He replied: "I have already asked. The person you asked me to find, named Lu Yuanzhou, died in a car accident half a year ago."
"What did you say, already dead?"
"Well, but he left behind a daughter. I heard that he was sent to a film crew by his stepmother as a cash cow. Now I'm going to ask the little girl what film crew she is filming in."
"Hurry up, hurry up and ask! You must ask clearly, and the child is bound to be found."
The young man was very surprised to hear Professor Lu's urgent voice on the phone.
He has been with the professor for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen such a big change in his emotions.
He didn't dare to be negligent, and quickly comforted him: "Okay, I'll ask right away, Professor Lu, don't worry."
