Qin Suisui received Groot's call after returning to her room with Lily following dinner.
She picked up her phone and listened intently to the message Groot was sending on the other end. Gradually, a faint smile appeared in her eyes.
“Mr. Groot, thank you very much! Please convey to Prosecutor Albert our gratitude to him and my client, Mr. Steve, for his leniency!”
Her voice didn't fluctuate much, but her usually calm eyes became even more lively and bright.
"No need! Tomorrow morning at eight o'clock, Prosecutor Albert and I will be waiting for you at the State Attorney's office. Please arrive on time."
Groot finished speaking briefly and quickly. He didn't want to hear the voice of this Chinese woman for a while, even though her voice was languid and sweet.
He hung up the phone with a serious expression, meeting Albert's cold gaze, and spoke with slight hesitation: "Mr. Albert, are we just going to give up on Steve's case like this?"
"Then what do you suggest we do, dear Groot? Tell me, is there any other way?"
Albert's eyelids were half-closed, his jaw was clenched, and the twitching of his jaw caused the veins on his forehead to bulge. His tone revealed an unprecedented restraint and dejection.
It can be predicted that with the verdict in Steve's case, his future and career may come to an end, as the other party has left him with no choice.
He elaborated, "If this document in Sheffield's possession is leaked and the F country's government learns that our Ministry of Justice is engaging in underhanded dealings, it will inevitably affect relations between the two countries."
Thinking about their increasingly strained relationship with O. State, Albert frowned and looked down at the gleaming desktop.
"The 3202 bill passed by Congress last year has already begun to be implemented. It plans to gradually divide the relationship between Country F and Country D. If the inside story of Congress's behind-the-scenes involvement in the acquisition of Country F's Westmoo Company is exposed at this time, causing Country F to completely stand with Country D, then you and I will both be implicated."
Sheffield may face imprisonment, and most importantly, she is a Chinese citizen.
Albert's eyes were clouded, and his voice was slightly shrill.
"Over the years, we have long had experience. Most of the Chinese students who come to M are nakedly patriotic fanatics. On this matter, we are already at a disadvantage. The slightest carelessness could cause shockwaves in the international political arena."
"If the information in Sheffield's possession is sent back to Z country and used by other governments to make a fuss about it through F country's media, even if the F country government intervenes, it will not be able to quell the anger in the hearts of most F country people."
"After all, Ximu Group is a long-established company in F. Country. Its subsidiaries are involved in military industry, engines and various civilian businesses. Not to mention the core technologies of the military industry, one-third of Ximu's business is related to the needs of F. Country's people. It absolutely cannot be treated as an ordinary commercial acquisition case."
"This is absolutely not the outcome Congress wants to see, nor is it in line with our strategic plan for the F country."
If it weren't for Sheffield's cautious words and actions, and the law firm of Ralph Dunn behind her, he would have even tried to use his connections to find a reason to revoke her law license.
But there will always be opportunities. Albert smirked. Sheffield had offended both Congress and the major investor behind M. Electric. Someone would make her pay the price.
"I'm so sorry to have disappointed you!"
Groot lowered his head and sighed inwardly. It was a pity that the Department of Justice and the investors behind M. Electric had been preparing and plotting for two or three years for the acquisition of F. Westmoney Company.
Unexpectedly, at the crucial final moment, it was sabotaged by a Chinese female lawyer.
He stole a glance at Prosecutor Albert, whose face was ashen. He knew that Prosecutor Albert had always been backed by M. Electric investors.
Especially in recent years, the investors behind M. Electric have continued to pour huge sums of money into supporting the dismantling of F. Westmoney.com. Thinking of the fury of M. Electric's investors after they learned the news, he secretly worried for Prosecutor Albert.
“Groot, you can go back now. Continue to follow up on the later procedures. Have Sheffield and her client sign the confidentiality agreement tomorrow morning.”
Albert, who had been leaning back in his chair, raised his head slightly and said in a chilling voice, "Warn them that this case involves state secrets. If there is any leak, the M Country judiciary will put them in jail for life!"
“Prosecutor Albert, rest assured, I will reach a confidentiality agreement with Sheffield.”
Groot glanced at Prosecutor Albert, who was deep in thought with his eyes closed, then quietly left the office and closed the door.
"How's it going, Attorney Sheffield?"
Lily stared wide-eyed at Qin Suisui as she put down her phone, her tone somewhat impatient.
"solve!"
Qin Suisui made a gesture and threw her phone onto the bed.
"ah!"
Lily rushed to Qin Suisui, hugged her tightly, and cheered loudly, jumping and skipping.
"Attorney Sheffield, you're amazing!"
She had no hope from the moment she accompanied attorney Sheffield to Maine to take on what was considered the most challenging case in the history of Lawrence Law Firm.
Due to their past cooperation with Westmoney, the law firm had no choice but to take on Steve's case. Based on past experience, this case was just a formality for them.
The senior partners at the law firm knew that the case was too complex to be handled casually, so they used various reasons and excuses to avoid it.
This is how Steve's case came to the attention of Attorney Sheffield. If Steve had won, Attorney Sheffield would have received millions of dollars in legal fees alone.
She would also receive a bonus of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan. Thinking of the frustration of the people in the law firm after learning that they had won the case, Lily couldn't help but smile.
