Chapter 196 Cataclysmic Disaster
Judging from the recording alone, Feng Jue and Su Xi definitely slept together.
But when you look at this surveillance footage, it's truly both laughable and jaw-dropping.
In the office, besides Su Xi and Feng Jue, Liu Cheng was also there.
Liu Cheng placed a plate of fruit on his desk, accidentally knocking over some documents, which then scatter all over the floor.
After tidying up, I handed each of them a piece of fruit.
Feng Jue took a bite and saw a glistening drop of juice on Su Xi's lips. He handed her a tissue and said, "Xiao Xi, you have so much juice."
“No way,” Su Xi seemed to be in a good mood, her tone a little playful, “not as much as yours.”
The juice did indeed flow onto Feng Jue's slender, fair hands.
Feng Jue remained noncommittal, his peach blossom eyes fixed on what Su Xi was holding, and reached out, "I want to eat yours."
Su Xi quickly clutched the things to her chest, "No, no."
Feng Jue still forcefully snatched it away.
Su Xi exclaimed in surprise, not expecting the dignified CEO to be so unserious. She frowned and said, "How could you be like this?"
Seeing the woman being teased into a flustered rabbit, Feng Jue took a bite in a very good mood, "So sweet."
After watching the video, everyone stared at each other in disbelief. What they expected to be a lewd and explicit scene turned out to be... eating peaches!
The peaches were indeed very juicy, and it was clear that their conversation didn't have any other meaning; on the contrary, they were trying to veer off course.
They've all gone astray.
Attorney Wang was completely taken aback by this scene and stood there dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.
Perhaps due to the stark contrast, Feng Jinchen's handsome face remained expressionless, but he seemed lost in thought, appearing dazed and confused.
Liu Yufeng and her daughter were both dumbfounded. They thought it was confirmation that Su Xi had cheated on them and was promiscuous, but to be told that she had eaten peaches was something they simply couldn't accept.
Only Su Xi seemed a little dazed.
She's been under a lot of stress lately, and she almost forgot that she and Feng Jue had once shared such a relaxed and enjoyable time.
Noticing a sharp, clear gaze behind her, Su Xi's back stiffened slightly. She pursed her lips, banishing those chaotic thoughts, and her expression turned cold again.
"Even so, there's definitely something fishy about the relationship between this uncle and nephew; their relationship is definitely not innocent."
"What era are we living in? Attorney Wang, are you some kind of ancient relic that jumped out of a zombie movie? Besides, there were three people together, not just a man and a woman alone. Your ability to make such a blatant accusation is too clumsy. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by your colleagues?"
The two sides debated back and forth, but it was clear that Attorney Wang was losing ground and had run out of arguments.
In the end, he was even forced to apologize to Su Xi.
Liu Yufeng panicked and pulled out her phone to make a call.
Feng Hanhai's impatient voice came through, "What is it now?"
"Today is the day of our son's second trial, have you forgotten? He's going to lose and has to pay 30 billion in compensation. Aren't you going to do anything about it? Even if you have to throw that money down the street, you can't give it to that bitch."
Feng Hanhai's aversion to stupidity flared up instantly. "Are you all brainless? Liu Yufeng, are you sure Feng Jinchen is really my son? How can you be so stupid?"
"What...what nonsense are you spouting?" Liu Yufeng raised her voice.
"Forget it, I don't have time to meddle in your business. In short, even if the judgment is 3 trillion or 300 billion, Su Xi won't get a single penny. Stop worrying about things that don't concern you. I'm busy right now, so don't call me again."
He hung up the phone after saying that.
When Liu Yufeng called back, no one answered.
"Hey Wang, are you even capable?" Feng Jinchen couldn't take it anymore and grabbed Attorney Wang by the collar.
Just then, Attorney Wang's phone rang.
"President Feng, this is my informant's phone number. There might be a turning point."
After forcefully shaking off Attorney Wang, Feng Jinchen looked at Su Xi with eyes filled with guilt.
Su Xi's eyes met the man's, and she felt annoyed, so she turned her gaze away.
"Mr. Feng, there's a chance! There really is a chance!" Attorney Wang was overjoyed, her pupils dilating with excitement. She leaned over and whispered something in the man's ear.
Upon hearing this, Feng Jinchen's pupils contracted, and his brows furrowed tightly. "Are you sure this is a good thing?"
"Compared to 30 billion, these losses are nothing."
Feng Jinchen nodded, but when he looked at Su Xi, his gaze turned cold again.
Su Xi, the Su family, they really have a lot of nerve.
"Your Honor, we have new evidence." Attorney Wang looked smugly at Attorney Qian and Su Xi.
"Su Xi, your uncle Su Zi'an maliciously set fire to Feng's Pharmaceutical Factory. Branch manager Gu Chong is a witness. He was caught red-handed and is now in jail."
That fire not only caused billions of dollars in economic losses but also killed thirty people and injured dozens. It was an utterly heinous crime.
"Your Honor, Su Zi'an is inherently vicious. How could Su Xi, his niece, be any better? Su Xi is definitely not as innocent as she appears; she's just good at pretending."
After saying this, Su Xi was completely pale.
A pharmaceutical factory burned down, killing thirty people. How could this happen?
How could my uncle have caused such a terrible disaster? This could be punishable by death.
Huang Sifeng was trembling with fear. She quickly moved over and kicked Su Xi's chair, lowering her voice, "Su Xi, what kind of work are you doing? How could this happen?"
Su Xi's mind went blank, and she couldn't find her own voice for a moment.
“Say something, you jinx, you good-for-nothing! I never thought you could accomplish this. I was blind! You can’t do anything right. You’re a jinx to the Su family…”
Seeing that Su Xi was pretending to be mute, Huang Sifeng kicked the chair hard again, "Speak up, don't play dead with me."
Su Xi was jolted awake by the kick, blinked, and finally came to her senses. Her mind, however, remained a complete mess.
Huang Sifeng tried to kick again, but a staff member held her down and pulled her to a seat further away without saying a word.
"Miss Su, this..."
Su Xi moved her lips, and the phone rang. It was Feng Jue.
The man's voice carried guilt, yet his cool tone possessed a reassuring strength. "I'm sorry, Su Xi. By the time my people found out, it had already happened. Don't worry, your uncle will be alright."
Su Xi turned to look at Feng Jue, meeting his deep, captivating eyes. She felt a sense of reassurance and said, "Okay."
"Su Xi, as long as you give up this 30 billion, we will sign a letter of understanding. Otherwise, your uncle can expect to pay for his murder with his life."
"Okay, I give up."
As soon as she finished speaking, a chorus of boos erupted from the audience. Almost everyone stared at Su Xi as if she were a complete idiot.
Huang Sifeng called, "Su Xi, are you crazy? Even selling Su Zi'an wouldn't get you 30 billion."
No, I mean if we had 30 billion, we could totally get your uncle out of trouble. You can't agree to that, I won't allow it.
The presiding judge has already announced the divorce verdict for Su Xi and Feng Jinchen, with Su Xi receiving 30 billion yuan.
If you don't go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to complete the procedures within ten days, you will be forced to divorce.
Whether or not a letter of understanding is signed is not within their scope.
Upon seeing the court adjourn, Huang Sifeng rushed to Su Xi, her tone kind and gentle, a stark contrast to her previous demeanor.
“Xiaoxi, don’t sign the letter of understanding. With that 30 billion, your uncle can definitely be bailed out without any trouble.”
"But the other party is the Feng Group..."
"So what? Our whole family is abroad. No matter how far they go, they can't harm us. At worst, we'll leave some money to hire a lawyer and fight the case. Your uncle will definitely be fine."
"Your aunt will definitely find you a good family. And you'll get your dowry too."
Huang Sifeng clearly considered the money as her possession and wanted to have it completely in her hands.
