"Wang Mudan, you're right. I can't even protect myself right now, but as long as I'm breathing, I'll never bow to Simingda. Don't waste your breath. I don't care what you say."
Gao Huai shouted at Wang Mudan without showing any weakness. For the sake of so-called face, he was determined to go all out and would rather spend the rest of his life in jail than admit defeat to Si Mingda.
Wang Mudan felt that Gao Huai's change was simply unreasonable. His mentality seemed to have deviated from the normal track, and there was no trace of the gentle and elegant rich boy in him.
She looked at Gao Huai with a sad look, and said helplessly: "Okay, Gao Huai, God is watching what we do.
If you want to fight to the bitter end, then we will accompany you. The law is ruthless, and you will definitely pay the price for your actions. Wait for the judgment of the law."
"Whatever, I don't care." Gao Huai sneered in a tough manner.
Although Gao Huai still had hope of a lighter sentence as long as he admitted his mistakes with a good attitude, for the sake of his so-called dignity as a man, he could not open his heart and admit his mistakes to Si Mingda. So he deliberately put on an attitude of being a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, trying to cover up his inner regret and fear of a long sentence.
Wang Mudan glanced at Gao Huai with disappointment and said to the presiding judge, "Your Honor, this fraud case perpetrated by Gao Huai has not only caused enormous financial losses to my company, but has also deeply traumatized us. No amount of money can compensate for the damage I've sustained. From the time the case occurred until now, Gao Huai has never apologized to us, and his attitude has been particularly awful. My request is that, in addition to the legal punishment he deserves, he also compensate our company for the economic losses it has suffered over the past two years. According to the standards just outlined by the lawyer, we won't give up a single cent. This is his own fault."
The presiding judge replied, "The plaintiff's lawyer has just submitted their claim. The collegial panel needs to hold a meeting to discuss the matter. We will take a half-hour break. The trial will continue after the collegial panel reaches a conclusion."
During the break, Gao Huai was taken to the inner lounge alone, and the bailiff took Si Mingda, Wang Mudan and others to the reception room outside the court.
Si Mingda, Wang Mudan and the lawyer sat in the rightmost corner, while Lan Dujuan, Luo Yingtao and others rested at the entrance.
Si Mingda sighed and said worriedly, "Look at Gao Huai's impassive expression. I'm really worried. Once he's sentenced to prison, he might not be able to get back the money he deposited abroad. If that happens, what's the point of my lawsuit? Wouldn't it be a waste of our time and energy?"
The lawyer consoled him, saying, "We've already figured out where the stolen money went, so we don't have to worry about getting it back. According to international law, as long as the suspect is extradited, we have the right to file a financial claim."
"Hmph," Simingda said with a gloomy face, "To be honest, I didn't agree to Gao Huai's proposal to exchange money for freedom because I wanted to send him to prison. It doesn't matter if he gets sentenced to life imprisonment or death, as long as he gets the corresponding punishment. He deliberately framed me, and I won't let him have an easy time. But this is not my ultimate goal. My wish is to recover the money. That money is too important to me. In the past two years, the company has not only not made any money, but has been paying off debts. In order to pay off the debts, half of my hair has fallen out. I would not be a gentleman if I don't take revenge. I must make him pay the price in blood."
The lawyer said, "Once the case is successfully concluded, we can apply to the foreign police station to initiate the process of recovering the compensation. As long as the money is still in Gao Huai's account, it shouldn't be difficult to recover. However, the procedures for international cases are more complicated and may take several years, so you should be mentally prepared."
Simingda leaned back on the sofa with a sullen face, pounding his head hard with his hand. He said in frustration, "From what Gao Huai and Li Xiaoliang just said, I know there were indeed many flaws in this deal. I can only blame myself for being obsessed with accepting the order and falling into Gao Huai's trap. It's true that haste breeds chaos, and haste makes waste. "Impatient people can't eat hot tofu.
Wang Mudan's face was gloomy. She glanced at Si Mingda dimly and complained, "What's the point of regretting now? When Li Xiaoliang contacted you, I thought it was a bit unusual. First of all, he asked to buy our products by name, as if he knew us very well. Now it has been confirmed that he came prepared and had thoroughly investigated our details beforehand. As the saying goes, 'You don't worry about thieves stealing, you worry about thieves thinking about it.' He timed every moment accurately and calculated our actions so accurately. Think about it, according to normal transactions, how could a customer's first order be so large? Some customers won't place an order even after sending them samples several times. Unlike Gao Huai's order, we only sent him a sample once and he readily confirmed the order without any comments on the sample. It seemed that they were more eager than we were. In addition, new customers will compare prices repeatedly when doing business for the first time, but after we quoted him a price, he didn't bargain at all. This is completely unnatural."
Wang Mudan's complaints made Si Mingda quite dissatisfied. "Alright, now you blame me for what happened. Didn't I discuss this with you back then? Why didn't you raise any objections then? What's the use of being a wise man after the event? The rice has been cooked, the wood has been cut, there's no medicine for regret in this world, understand?"
Wang Mudan retorted, "You did ask for my opinion, but every time I raised a question, you always found excuses. No matter what Li Xiaoliang said, you took it to heart, as if you knew him well. You went to their company specifically to inspect the samples, so why didn't you see any flaws?"
