Chapter 169 Underestimating the Enemy
Why were her grandparents murdered, she and her brother repeatedly placed on the brink of life and death, and Mr. Lu, who took two lives and instigated others to commit crimes, only received a life sentence!
"Plaintiff, if you are not satisfied with the verdict, you can appeal to a higher court. Adjourn the court!" The court made the final decision.
When Mr. Lu was taken away, he gave Xu Qingsui a amiable smile, just like he had done countless times before, as if he was very friendly.
But Xu Qingsui felt creepy. This smile was a disguise of Mr. Lu, as if everything was beyond her expectations and he was laughing at her incompetence.
Xu Qingsui clenched his fists and trembled with anger.
The lawyer standing next to her said to her, "The lawyer hired by the Lu family this time is not simple. I'm afraid there is a master behind the scenes. Miss Xu, don't be discouraged. As the judge said, we can still appeal. We still have a chance. This time we underestimated the enemy."
After saying this, the lawyer also looked a little dejected.
This was the first Waterloo that the Huo Group’s legal department encountered.
The team that had never lost a game actually lost this time.
The lawyer representative was almost worried about how to explain to Mr. Huo when he returned.
On the same day, the news of Mr. Lu’s verdict became a hot topic on various platforms.
Yan Xisui lay in Qin Wei's arms, scrolling through her phone and looking at the content on the hot search. She couldn't help but laugh: "The Huo's Legal Department, which claims to have never lost a battle, turns out to be only this good. Brother Wei is really awesome!"
Qin Wei turned over and pressed Yan Xisui under him: "I helped you so much, how are you going to thank me?"
Yan Xisui put her arms around his neck and said charmingly, "Of course, Brother Wei, you can do whatever you want!"
Qin Wei showed a wicked smile, but did not take the next step. He let go of Yan Xisui and got up to get dressed.
Yan Xisui stood up with her upper body naked and asked in confusion, "Mr. Qin, what's wrong?"
"You can't even handle Xu Qingsui. It's been so long, and there's been no progress. Our old man has been paying more and more attention to Qin Fang. We don't have much time left."
After putting on his clothes, he walked to Yan Xisui's side, pinched her chin, and said, "I never keep useless people around me. You'd better show some real skills."
These words were spoken lightly, but Yan Xisui felt cold from head to toe.
It was not until Qin Fang left that she slowly picked up the quilt and wrapped herself tightly.
At this moment, she began to think, is it really a wise move to climb up the big tree of Qin Wei?
If she had not betrayed Huo Xilin when the Huo family was in trouble, would she be Mrs. Huo now?
Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in this world. Now that she has boarded Qin Wei's pirate ship, there is no chance for her to get off. The only way left for her is to do as Qin Wei requires, and she can only succeed, not fail!
Otherwise, her fate would be unimaginable.
Yan Xisui clenched her fists, Xu Qingsui, it’s all Xu Qingsui!
If this woman hadn't ruined her plans, she might have succeeded long ago.
Xu Qingsui is the stumbling block on her road to success, and she must kick this stumbling block away as soon as possible.
After leaving the court, Xu Qingsui returned to the courtyard.
She couldn't go to the hospital. She thought she would win today, but she failed. She didn't know how to face her brother who had not yet recovered and been discharged from the hospital.
Lin Wan saw the news and called her to comfort her: "You should have a good rest today and don't think too much. This result is already very good. Mr. Lu is so old. It is better to imprison him for a lifetime and let him suffer in prison than to let him die directly."
Xu Qingsui also agreed with this statement, but he was worried that Mr. Lu would be able to use his connections to manipulate the situation and perform well, so would he be able to get a reduced sentence? Or he would take advantage of his physical illness and be sent directly for treatment, which was not the result she wanted to see.
He has done so many bad things, why should he be able to enjoy his old age in peace?
But she couldn't say these words to Lin Wan after all. She could just let her bear the grief and unwillingness alone. There was no need to drag the people around her into it.
"Well, you're right. Don't let your brother know about this. I'm a little tired today, so I'll take a rest first." After hanging up the phone, Xu Qingsui couldn't hold it in any longer, squatted on the ground, and burst into tears.
She had to endure it in crowded places, and she had to be strong in front of Lin Wan and her brother. So many things weighed on her alone, and she was really tired.
Only when she was alone could she dare to cry so freely.
Suddenly, she was patted twice on the back.
She looked up suddenly and saw Huo Xilin squatting beside her, looking at her with concern and worry.
"It's good to cry when you feel sad. I'll be with you." He said.
Xu Qingsui quickly wiped away her tears. She couldn't remember how many times she had cried in front of him.
I'm afraid that in his heart, she must be a crybaby.
Xu Qingsui didn't understand why he would catch her crying every time, even though she clearly didn't want anyone to see it.
"Is it embarrassing for me to cry? Don't laugh at me." Xu Qingsui said in a low voice.
"It's not shameful. I cried in front of you twice, and you didn't laugh at me, did you? We've seen each other's miserable looks, haven't we?"
Huo Xilin's comfort made Xu Qingsui burst into laughter.
Seeing that she seemed to be in a better mood, Huo Xilin said, "I already know what happened today. Although the result is not satisfactory, there is still a chance, right? So don't be discouraged. Believe that you will get what you want next time. And I don't think this is a completely bad thing."
Xu Qingsui asked curiously: "Excuse me, what are the benefits?"
"You have endured so much suffering over the years to wait for this day. Do you really want to let that old guy die easily?" Huo Xilin asked.
Of course she didn't want to, but death was the best punishment for Mr. Lu. After all, this was a society ruled by law, and she might resort to lynching.
Facing Xu Qingsui's puzzled look, Huo Xilin said, "Let him stay in there, watching the Lu company he founded change its name to someone else, watching his grandson, who he had high hopes for, living a life of drunkenness and debauchery, and finally ending up in disgrace, watching the birth of the child in Gu Rong's belly, but after getting the property, the child has to be named Gu... Let him live well, and feel the feeling of losing the things he cares about bit by bit, while he is powerless to change it, wouldn't it be better?"
Huo Xilin's words made Xu Qingsui suddenly enlightened. Yes, death was not scary for Mr. Lu. What was scary was that everything he cared about was leaving him, and he could not change anything.
"But, he seems to have strong connections behind him."
