Chapter 922 Prosecution of Wen Qingyi
The foundation of Lu's Bank is its clan.
The clan has made Lu's Bank what it is today, and now the clan is also the one that is hindering Lu's Bank's development.
Especially her uncles and aunts, all of whom were eyeing the Lu's Bank as a piece of the pie.
How could she not be afraid?
“Cousin, you must know how covetous those clans are of our Lu's Bank.” Lu Nanchu said with a wry smile, “Although I am the sole heir of the Lu family, it doesn’t mean that Lu's Bank is entirely under our family’s control.”
Some of the veteran figures on the board of directors of Lu's Bank were all people who fought alongside their fathers in the white world on Wall Street back in the day!
These people outwardly respected her, but in reality, only she knew best how they truly viewed her.
Bo Jinyan sighed and said, "Nan Chu, I understand your pain, but if you want to gain the approval of others, you have to do something during your tenure that fills their pockets. Then see if they will still oppose you."
"So you don't need to worry about it here. As long as you make a few big investments, they won't say anything."
“Cousin, you make it sound so easy.” Lu Nanchu knew exactly how difficult it was: “With the current economic climate so bad, every bank is tightening its investments. Who would dare to invest rashly?”
Considering how much she had helped him, Bo Jinyan decided, "If you need my help, I can introduce you to a few promising investment projects."
"Cousin, are you really willing to help me?" Lu Nanchu was pleasantly surprised.
Bo Jinyan nodded slightly: "Of course, we are partners, and mutual benefit is the basic principle. I will not watch my partner fall apart like this."
Most importantly, if Lu Nanchu falls from power like this, then there will be no such useful partner in the future.
Therefore, whether for public or private reasons, he would not stand idly by and watch her fall from power.
"Thank you, cousin." Lu Nanchu felt that she had made a good friend: "I'm relieved to hear you say that."
"Don't worry, I won't reveal a single thing about you."
"If there's anything else I can help you with, just let me know."
Bo Jinyan pondered for a moment, then suddenly changed the subject: "Then let me ask you, what are your plans regarding Wen Qingyi?"
Wen Qingyi has now been kicked out by Lu Nanchu and has lost her job.
To put it bluntly, she has no room to survive in Manhattan.
At this point, it would be a real shame not to make a move on her.
"Wen Qingyi, she colluded with my husband and even slept with him. Of course I'll watch her end up destitute on the streets!"
Upon hearing this woman's name, Lu Nanchu's expression suddenly turned cold: "Cousin, what do you plan to do with her?"
"I think Xiaoruo should answer this question."
Bo Jinyan's gaze fixed on Sang Ruo: "Xiao Ruo, what do you want to do with this woman?"
Sang Ruo seemed surprised that he would suddenly ask her this question. After a moment of stunned silence, she said, "In my opinion, I should send her to prison for life, so that she can never get out!"
Life imprisonment?
This word caught Lu Nanchu's attention, and he said calmly, "Sister-in-law, I know you hate Wen Qingyi, but there is no such punishment as life imprisonment in China. If there is, it is only for specific cases and specific groups of people."
"Unless you allow Wen Qingyi's case to be heard in a US court and the evidence is clear, the court generally won't easily impose such a heavy sentence."
Life imprisonment is a severe punishment generally found only in common law systems like those of the UK and the US.
If my cousin-in-law really wants her to be imprisoned for life, to stay in jail until she dies, then she must file a lawsuit in the United States.
Only in this way can we achieve my cousin's wife's demand for life imprisonment.
"The US will sue?" Sang Ruo thought it wasn't impossible, but then she wondered, "Would US courts recognize cases that occurred in other countries? Would the courts even hear them?"
Lu Nanchu explained to her, "Sister-in-law, you may not have spent much time in the United States, so you may not know the rules here."
"I can't speak for other places, but at least in New York, as long as you have the money, there's nothing you can't get done."
This is a place where capital trumps everything.
There aren't as many complicated issues as in China, so if a lawsuit were to be filed, things wouldn't be as complicated as Sang Ruo imagined.
“Xiao Ruo, if you insist on having the trial in China, it will probably depend on the judge’s mood.” Bo Jinyan thought she made sense: “But if the trial is in the United States and you are sentenced to life imprisonment, it won’t be difficult to find a good lawyer.”
However, which country the trial will be held in depends on her own wishes.
Sang Ruo was silent for a moment, then spoke up: "Alright, let's file a lawsuit in the United States."
“Ayan, Nanchu, just to be on the safe side, I hope that Nanchu will be the one to file the lawsuit.” Sang Ruo didn’t want to confront her openly this time: “Nanchu, I will have Ayan give you sufficient evidence, but I will still need to trouble you with the matter of filing the lawsuit.”
She did this out of consideration for herself.
The feud between her and Wen Qingyi had been brewing for a long time, and she knew very well what kind of person Wen Qingyi was.
If she files the lawsuit herself, then before the trial even begins, her target will be her again.
She didn't want to complicate things any further.
Upon hearing this, Lu Nanchu was not quite convinced: "Why? Cousin-in-law, you have ample evidence. Are you really afraid of Wen Qingyi, who has nothing?"
Wen Qingyi is currently unemployed, penniless, and can't even find a place to live.
What right does she have to fight with her cousin-in-law?
Why is my cousin's wife so afraid of her?
No matter how she looked at it, her cousin-in-law had a better chance of winning.
“Nan Chu, it’s not that I’m afraid of her.” Sang Ruo was just afraid of trouble: “I don’t want to have any more conflicts with Wen Qingyi before the trial. If she finds out that I’m the one who sued her, do you think she’ll let this case go to trial successfully, given her personality?”
"She might just start hunting me down again!"
She didn't want to complicate things so much.
If she needs to be sued, then she should be sued; if necessary, then she should be sued and go through the proper legal procedures. Just let her receive the legal punishment she deserves.
Hearing her say that, Lu Nanchu understood: "Okay, what you said makes sense. Wen Qingyi is a woman who will stop at nothing, so we should indeed be wary of her."
"Don't worry, sister-in-law. Have your cousin send me the evidence, and I'll arrange for a lawyer to file a lawsuit and seek compensation."
She paused, as if suddenly remembering something, and said, "By the way, cousin, how much compensation do you want to ask Wen Qingyi for? At least give me an amount so I can ask her for it."
