Xiao Chen said: "I feel this is a brand new track. The catering concept of combining traditional Chinese medicine and health preservation is definitely going to be popular."
"Okay, don't worry about this. I will quickly prepare a medicinal meal when I get back."
Lin Fang nodded repeatedly: "Then I will ask Master for advice, and I will contact you after it is finalized."
"Okay. Besides, you and my sister..." Xiao Chen turned his head and glanced at him: "We also need to hurry up."
"This... hehe." Lin Fang scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Boss, Li Hao and Xiao Qian are planning to appeal." Xu Xin called.
"I understand." Xiao Chen said only three words lightly.
In a private room of a luxurious restaurant, Xiao Qian and Li Hao had ordered their dishes and were waiting for someone.
"Li Hao, is your classmate reliable?" Xiao Qian seemed a little anxious.
Although her father was sentenced to five years in prison in the first instance, he still had the opportunity to appeal.
Li Hao used his connections to find a judge at the next higher court level, intending to use his connections.
"Don't worry about this. I am a legal advisor in my classmate's company. This judge is from a higher court. His name is Zhu Yue." Li Hao was full of confidence.
"He's a distant relative of my classmate and quite reliable. Invite him to dinner and smooth things over. There might be a reversal in the second trial."
Xiao Qian nodded silently. At this point, the only person she could rely on was Li Hao.
"You don't have confidence in me?" Li Hao couldn't help but laugh when he saw that she was in a bad mood.
"No, I just feel that Xiao Chen is too difficult to deal with." Xiao Qian said with a sigh.
"Your brother is indeed a difficult one." Li Hao nodded gently: "But it doesn't matter. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes."
"When I have time, I'll focus on investigating Xiao Chen's company. His Xingchen Capital is so ruthless, I don't believe there are no violations."
While the two were chatting, a man in his forties knocked on the door and walked in.
The man was Zhu Yue. He was wearing a white shirt and carrying a briefcase.
The image carries a sense of righteousness.
Li Hao quickly stood up and greeted him enthusiastically: "Judge Zhu, I've heard a lot about you. I'm Xiaohu's classmate."
"Okay, I heard Xiaohu say that you shouldn't be so polite. I'm a few years older than you, so just call me brother."
Zhu Yue is a veteran official, and his words and deeds are full of friendliness.
"Okay, Brother Zhu, please come in." Li Hao greeted him with a smile.
"Everyone, sit down and don't be rude. We are all family and this is not a formal occasion. Just relax." Zhu Yue said with a smile.
"Brother Zhu, this is my girlfriend. Xiaohu should tell you about my affairs." Li Hao smiled politely.
"To be honest, this matter is a bit tricky." Li Hao looked embarrassed.
"Because before I came here, I had read the chain of evidence and studied the relevant cases."
"Although the sentence was slightly harsh due to the influence of online public opinion, there's nothing wrong with it."
"So generally speaking, if there's no new evidence to exonerate the person, the higher court will uphold the original verdict."
"Judge Zhu, I beg you to think of a solution. You also said that my father's sentence was too heavy." Xiao Qian wiped her tears anxiously.
If the second trial upholds the original verdict, then it will be a done deal, and Xiao Yuanhe will have to serve five years in prison.
"Don't worry, don't worry, there are solutions." Zhu Yue tapped the table, "After all, it's been a long time."
"Although the chain of evidence is complete, there is a lack of strong human evidence."
"Besides, your father had just lost a child, and his wife was overwhelmed with grief."
"Subjectively, he has no malicious intent..."
"From a psychological perspective, he was under too much mental stress, which caused intermittent mental disorders..."
Li Hao suddenly understood. He was indeed a professional. With just a little guidance, the nature of the situation changed immediately.
"But, but my dad's behavior is very normal." Xiao Qian said a little stupidly.
Li Hao quickly touched her to make her shut up.
He complimented him, "Brother Zhu is indeed someone with many years of experience in handling cases. This statement is indeed different in nature."
"And intermittent mental disorders only occur under certain circumstances and by chance."
"So the client is not under control of his behavior. We can request a mental evaluation in court, right?"
"That's right." Zhu Yue nodded. He took a sip of water and said, "But this matter is quite difficult to accomplish."
"After all, the case was examined by multiple parties and tried in court."
"More importantly, this incident has had a significant social impact."
"It's very difficult to change the second-instance verdict to a suspended sentence. It's not easy to do, it's not easy to do."
As he spoke, he tapped the table with his hands, and his meaning was obvious.
"I understand, Brother Zhu. This is the tea I asked a friend to bring me. It's a local specialty. Take it back and try it."
Li Hao said this and took out a gift box of tea.
The box is exquisitely packaged, but the bottom of the tea box is stuffed full.
"Oh, no, no," Zhu Yue said sternly, "This can't be done. It really can't be done."
"Giving gifts is no longer acceptable in our current anti-corruption efforts."
"It's just local mountain tea. It only costs a few dozen dollars and is really not worth the money. You can try it." Li Hao said with a smile.
"Haha, since it's a specialty, okay, I'll take it, I'll take it." Zhu Yue laughed and took the gift.
We had a very enjoyable meal and a very pleasant chat.
After sending Zhu Yue away, Xiao Qian couldn't help but ask, "Li Hao, is this... okay?"
"Since Judge Zhu accepted the gift, there's basically no problem with this matter." Li Hao smiled slightly: "Don't worry, he will help us."
"But... what can we do with tea worth just a few dozen dollars? Don't we have to pay money when we ask others to do things for us?" Xiao Qian was puzzled.
She was still inexperienced and had no idea how much tea to use.
"Haha, don't worry, the quantity of tea is enough. Let's go back." Li Hao laughed.
"There's money in the tea leaves?" Xiao Qian finally reacted.
"What else?" Li Hao was very satisfied with his ability to do things.
"But, I don't feel right." Xiao Qian shook her head.
"What's wrong?" Li Hao asked.
"Everything... went so smoothly." Xiao Qian said.
"Isn't it good that everything went smoothly? Don't think too much. Let's go back." Li Hao put his arm around Xiao Qian and took her away.
Carrying the tea box into the car, Zhu Yue opened the tea packaging.
I saw that under the box, there were neatly stacked stacks of banknotes. I counted them and found that there were exactly twenty stacks.
He picked up his phone and made a call: "Director Song, the fish has taken the bait. I'll do the job for you. I'll go and hand over the money later."
"And report Li Hao for bribing the judge. This time, at least his lawyer's license should be revoked."
