Ten years in Huating have been turbulent, with behind-the-scenes capital always omnipresent. Beneath the calm surface, undercurrents always churn; lights flicker on and off, and human affairs ebb a...
Senior Brother Huo's description surprised Qin Suisui, who raised an eyebrow slightly. She tilted her head and thought about her mood today, and realized that it was indeed true.
"It seems so!"
She smiled, her lips pursed, and naturally reached out to him, her fingers intertwining with his.
Huo Zhongyuan's large, well-defined hands tightly grasped her fair, slender hands, creating a harmonious and beautiful effect.
"Senior Brother Huo should be the same way at work!"
"It should be the same as yours!"
Huo Zhongyuan rested his hands on the steering wheel, his gaze on her focused yet composed.
"It's after get off work, let's not talk about work. You probably haven't had dinner yet, shall I take you to have dinner first?"
Seeing Sui Sui's eyes lift slightly, he smiled and said, "I'll take you out for a quick bite, and then I'll take you home. I have an O·Asia futures trade tonight that I need to keep an eye on the market."
He reached out and pinched her cheek, his laughter low and husky: "Don't worry, I won't bother you tonight, let you get a good night's rest."
His words were simple yet ambiguous, which made Qin Suisui give him a sidelong glance in annoyance.
A smile played on her lips. They had chatted for two hours last night, which almost made her oversleep this morning.
Because they had something to do that evening, the two ate a simple meal. After dinner, Huo Zhongyuan escorted Qin Suisui to the elevator.
The elevator arrived at the floor, and Qin Suisui stepped out before she could even speak.
Huo Zhongyuan leaned against the door, his arms tightly around her waist.
His eyes were as still and unfathomable as a starry night, and he leaned down, his forehead gently touching the ground.
"Get some rest, and remember to think of me!"
Qin Suisui was forced to tilt her head back: "Yes, you too!"
Huo Zhongyuan sighed, touched his lips lightly, and then left.
"Sui Sui, I'll be waiting for you at the same spot tomorrow after get off work."
"good evening!"
He gently said goodnight, turned around, and got into the elevator.
Qin Suisui watched the elevator doors slowly close, her eyelids half-closed, her eyes sparkling, and a smile gradually appearing on her face before she turned and went inside.
The next afternoon, she opened the hacker website where she had posted the bounty the day before. The person who accepted the job had sent her a file an hour earlier.
She clicked on the file, and only half of the content was displayed, but even that half was shocking.
This Karl turned out to be a special agent for Shenglun International, who was specifically tasked with bribing the person in charge of international affairs at Huating Power International with valuable information in order to secure additional business for Shenglun International.
This includes the information leak involving Huating Power International's involvement in a Malaysian government project.
The other party even provided a 2017 Huating Power meeting minutes leaked by Zhang Qian via email.
Qin Suisui shook her head, utterly amazed. With such a huge rat at play, it was fortunate that Huating Power had managed to bury its head in the sand and not collapse until now.
She checked the information repeatedly, confirming that the clues and timeline on the document were basically consistent with what she had, and then paid the full amount.
Just a few minutes after paying the full amount, her email inbox flashed with notifications, and she received all the subsequent information.
The timeline in the documents closely matches the timeline of Huating Power's projects in Malaysia.
Qin Suisui downloaded the file, exited the website, and shut down her computer.
She closed her eyes and quietly sorted out the existing chain of evidence.
Although the meeting minutes provided by the other party cannot directly convict Zhang Qian, based on the timeline of his email exchanges with Karl over the past five years, combined with the information she has, it is entirely possible to convict Zhang Qian.
As an intermediary, Carl's personal account had close ties with Philip, the head of Shenglun International Huating.
She carefully considered all the details and, after confirming that everything was correct, pressed the internal phone.
"Assistant Yue, please compile all the existing data on Huating Power for me."
She will not hand over any information about Karl to anyone before the trial; anyone is capable of betrayal when faced with absolute self-interest.
The next morning at nine o'clock, Qin Suisui brought Wen Zong and Yue Hongxin to the fifth courtroom ahead of time.
Not long after, Dong Shu and Zhang Qian also arrived at the scene.
Qin Suisui had spoken to Dong Shu beforehand, instructing him to bring Zhang Qian to the courtroom as a witness for the plaintiff.
However, she did not tell Dong Shu the specific details, and even when Dong Shu pressed her for details, she remained silent.
"Qin Lu, you're here so early!"
Dong Shu stepped forward with a smile and glanced at the Fifth Court, whose doors were still closed.
Qin Suisui went up to them: "Director Dong, Director Zhang, thank you both for your hard work!"
"We can hardly call it hard work; if anyone has to say it's hard work, it's Qin Lu!"
Dong Shu had a gentle demeanor and a faint smile on his face.
Zhang Qian's face, however, was somewhat gloomy, his expression serious, and his brows furrowed.
"Qin Law!"
He glanced coldly at Qin Suisui, finding her smile both dazzling and irritating.
Meanwhile, Philip and Bill from Shenglun International arrived late, only arriving a few minutes before the court session began.
With an arrogant expression, Phil nodded to Dong Shu, glanced coldly at Qin Suisui, and entered the Fifth Courtroom first.
Seeing this, Yue Hongxin curled her lips, leaned close to Qin Suisui, and whispered, "They're already standing in the dock, yet they act like they're owed money. They're shameless."
Qin Suisui remained calm as she walked and said, "They're used to being fawned over in the domestic market! Those who can't see the reality are always the first to be sacrificed."
Yue Hongxin nodded repeatedly, and glared at the other person a few times.
"Cough cough!"
Wen Zong coughed lightly a few times, signaling to her with his eyes not to go too far.
At 9:30 sharp, the presiding judge, judges, court clerk, and people's assessors who participated in the court hearing entered the courtroom in turn.
After the plaintiff and defendant were seated, the court hearing began.
