Chapter 53 Surveillance



Qin Suihui's scheme has finally come to an end. Overall, she is satisfied with the agreement signed between the An family and Qin Suihui. From this point of view, it can be seen that the An family's future development will not deviate significantly under the leadership of Old Master An.

Apart from Anru, who was spoiled by Huimei Qing to the point of being clueless, everyone else was relatively restrained and polite.

With one worry gone, she felt much lighter and even became more passionate about her work.

Under Qin Suisui's leadership, working overtime became the norm at the Law Offices of Luo Dun.

This tireless work ethic took a toll on everyone else at the Law Offices of R.R. Dunn.

Chang Jinhui leaned against the refrigerator in the tea room, his face contorted with bitterness and accusation.

"I thought that old Parker, that unscrupulous foreigner, was exploiting me from a capitalist's perspective, but who knew that Qin Lu would actually...?"

Even more ruthless than capitalists! I almost blurted out those words.

However, seeing his friends sitting in a circle, smiling and waiting for him to continue, he felt a chill run down his spine and immediately stopped.

Chang Jinhui looked warily at the crowd who were watching the show.

"What's wrong with you all? Why do you look like that?"

Wen Zong coughed lightly and pointed to the camera outside the floor-to-ceiling glass.

“When you were away the day before yesterday, Lawyer Qin had surveillance cameras installed in the reception room and near the corridor. Our area happens to be within the surveillance range. According to unreliable sources, Lawyer Qin seems to be proficient in lip reading.”

"What?"

Chang Jinhui stared wide-eyed at the surveillance camera in front of him, his face hardening.

"Attorney Wen, have you written the summary report for yesterday's case? Do you need my help?"

"whispering sound!"

Hong Tao gave him a disdainful look.

"I knew you'd fall for it. You're the only one who would believe such a flimsy lie?"

"Wen Zong!"

Chang Jinhui stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

"You son of a bitch, you've actually learned the skill of lying through your teeth?"

Wen Zong lazily curled the corners of his mouth.

"With a renowned teacher like you online, this skill can be picked up anytime."

"Hahaha!"

The group of people, enjoying a rare moment of leisure, sat in the tea room joking with each other and temporarily relaxing their tense emotions.

"Oh, right, Wen Lu!"

Hong Tao suddenly remembered something and looked up at Wen Zong.

"I heard that the Huating Power case might have to wait until after the holiday?"

"Who said that?"

Wen Zong's heart tightened: "I went to the court on Tuesday, and they said they would arrange it as soon as possible."

"ah!"

Hong Tao's smile faded, and his expression turned serious: "I did hear that from other people, Wen Zong, you should go and find out for sure."

"Who said that?"

Wen Zong frowned and quickly pressed for an answer.

"The news I heard from Feng Shu!"

Hong Tao was somewhat embarrassed.

Seeing that Hong Tao's expression didn't seem fake, Wen Zong's gentle smile gradually faded.

"I'll go to my office, log onto the court's website, and check which day this lawsuit is scheduled for?"

Wen Zong left the tea room in a hurry. With Huating Power's name involved, the court would normally only expedite the process, so why would it be delayed until the following year?

He logged onto the court's website and, as Hong Tao had said, their case was scheduled for after New Year's Day.

With a solemn expression, he went directly to the outer room of Qin Suisui's office.

"Wen Lu, what's wrong?"

Yue Hongxin got up from her seat and walked over.

Wen Zong didn't say much, and asked directly.

"Is Qin Lu here? I need to talk to her urgently."

"exist!"

Yue Hongxin: "Wen Lu, please wait a moment!"

She returned to her workspace and dialed the office internal phone.

"Lawyer Qin, Lawyer Wen wants to see you."

After receiving the reply, she hung up the phone: "Lawyer Wen, Lawyer Qin wants you to go straight in."

"Thanks!"

Wen Zong nodded slightly to Yue Hongxin, knocked on the door, and then pushed it open and entered.

Is it urgent?

Qin Suisui looked up and saw that Wen Zong's usually gentle face was unusually serious.

“Attorney Qin, our case has been listed on the court’s website.”

Qin Suisui put down her notebook, her brows furrowed slightly, and she leaned back naturally.

"The court scheduled our case for after New Year's Day."

Wen Zong looked displeased: "I just spoke with Huating Power's legal department the day before yesterday, and they said they would make arrangements with the court. Who knew?"

"Um!"

Upon hearing the unexpected answer, Qin Suisui half-covered her eyes, her gaze darkening, and Wen Zong couldn't discern Qin Lu's expression for a moment.

Qin Suisui frowned and pondered for a while before simply dialing Dong Shu's number.

Dong Shu's cheerful voice came from the other end of the phone, along with the surrounding noise. Her brows relaxed slightly. "Director Dong, where are you?"

Hearing the other party's cheerful reply, she looked up at Wen Zong.

"Director Dong, let me just say a few words."

Dong Shu sensed an underlying meaning in Qin Lu's words and quickly asked seriously, "Qin Lu, has there been any oversight in the litigation?"

When he heard that the court had scheduled their case for after New Year's Day, his expression immediately turned serious.

"Lawyer Qin, wait for my call. I'll call the company right now and find out what the reason is."

"Okay, Director Dong, I'll wait for your call!"

After hanging up the phone, Qin Suisui looked at Wen Zong.

"It seems the problem lies within Huating Power."

She couldn't help but scoff, "At this critical juncture, there are still people jumping around. It seems there's something fishy going on inside Huating Power!"

"Attorney Qin, the other party is deliberately delaying the court hearing. There must be a reason for this. How should we respond?"

Qin Suisui's gaze fell on the window, and after a long while she said, "Let's remain unchanged in the face of all changes."
