Chapter 55 He Wants to Make It Up to Her
After the morning meeting, Song Li was sorting through the minutes when he heard Zeng Xinyue answer the phone: "Mr. He is very busy today. He has to go out to discuss something. The appointment is tomorrow afternoon."
Song Li looked back at her after she hung up the phone, "Isn't he free today?"
"Boss He asked me to cancel all the events after 9:30 today!"
Song Li didn't think much about it and continued to work, but her attention was still not focused. Outside the window, there was a faint rumble of thunder, and dark clouds began to gather over the city. It should rain soon. Her knees had been aching badly since yesterday.
As soon as He Qian walked out of the office, he saw Song Li sitting on a chair with her legs stretched out, bent over, her long hair hanging down, covering her expression. She was rubbing her knees back and forth with her hands, and she couldn't help but frown. What a horrible weather!
"Mr. He!" Zeng Xinyue saw him and immediately stood up. "Manager Liu Kai from the Xinxiong branch wanted to come see you. I made an appointment with him for tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay." He Qian agreed to Zeng Xinyue and walked up to Song Li. "Come with me to a place."
Song Li immediately stood up and, while tidying up the table, asked him, "Do you need to bring anything?"
"No need." He Qian walked towards the elevator first.
Song Li followed, "Who's driving?"
He Qian looked back and saw her jogging, so he slowed down his pace, "Zhang Ji is waiting at the gate."
As soon as they walked out of the brightly lit lobby, it began to rain, accompanied by lightning and thunder, and the day suddenly turned into night.
Song Li didn't understand why he was in such a hurry to go out in such weather, and didn't dare to ask more.
It wasn't until an hour later, when the car stopped in front of the Yuancheng High People's Court building, that Song Li asked him, "Are we here for a court session?"
Shouldn't she have brought a professional lawyer from the legal department with her when she came to this place? She didn't know anything.
"Hearing the trial." The car door on He Qian's side had been opened by Zhang Ji, who was standing there holding an umbrella, waiting for him to come out.
The rain was heavy, and mist rushed into the car the moment the door was opened. Song Li couldn't help but shiver.
He Qian went out first, grabbed Zhang Ji's umbrella, then bent down and called out to Song Li, "Come out this way!"
Song Li moved to his side, and just as she stepped out, he hugged her shoulders tightly, as if he was afraid that she would get wet!
Zhang Ji was a little confused. Secretary Song clearly had an umbrella ready. It wasn't until the umbrella above his head was removed and he was woken by the drenching rain that he hurried back to the car!
When they entered the court, people from the legal department of Qiliang Group were waiting there. They met them and took them inside.
Song Li recognized the people from the company. What kind of case would He Qian be there in person?
They sat in the last row of the audience, and a colleague from the Legal Department thoughtfully brought them a pack of tissues before leaving.
Song Li was well protected by He Qian, with only water splashing on the uppers of his shoes. Just as he was about to bend down to wipe it off, he saw two people being led out, one in front and one behind, by staff in black uniforms. They were handcuffed and wearing eye-catching vests!
She will never forget these two people even if they turn into ashes. They are Luo Songjiang and Liu Zhijie!
The usual nonchalant look of the two of them was completely gone, and their arrogant expressions were gone, and they sat obediently in the seats of "defendants".
Song Li hated them so much that if she wasn't in court at the moment, she would have rushed over and killed them!
He Qian did not miss any of her expressions: surprise, anger, hatred... He watched her discomfort growing, and his heart felt like it was being filled with cold wind.
The reason he brought her here was to let her see with her own eyes how the person who bullied her sister was brought to justice! It was also because she had gone through so much trouble to sue him, but he destroyed the case with his own hands. Now he wanted to make her wish come true!
Although it was too late, he hoped that she could feel a little comfort in her heart.
He wanted to make it up to her, and he would carefully redeem every wrong he had done.
On the plaintiff's side, there were six or seven young girls sitting, and the plaintiff's attorney was from Qiliang Group, and even Lu Qinghe showed up!
This surprised Song Li, but he didn't have the extra intelligence to think about the connection between them. He only hated those two scumbags!
He Qian felt that she seemed to be afraid, but also seemed to be expecting something, and the speed of his heartbeat was determined by her expression.
Song Li's head was buzzing constantly, and the sound of pounding in her chest was also very strong, but the outside world seemed to be muted. She only knew that there were many people in front of her...
Her mind was filled with the scene of Song Youran losing the case more than three years ago. The two beasts were acquitted in court, and her sister completely lost control. She tried her best to hug her sister, but she was also exhausted and on the verge of collapse!
The Luo family was overjoyed, while she and Song Youran's energy was almost exhausted. It was extremely ironic that the two of them appeared in the same time and space!
He Qian looked at her profile, his eyes affectionate and distant. It was funny to say that after being together for more than ten years, he had only recently begun to look forward to a future with her...
Song Li didn't know if she was too nervous. She only saw so many people in the courtroom talking to each other, but she couldn't hear any sound! It was not until the end of the trial that she clearly heard:
Luo Songjiang was found guilty of multiple rapes resulting in serious injury and disability, and gang rape of underage girls by two or more people, and was sentenced to nineteen years and eight months in prison!
Liu Zhijie raped someone to death, gang-raped an underage girl with two or more people, forced a girl under the age of 14 to engage in sexual transactions, and engaged in drug trafficking and drug use. The amount involved in the case was as high as 15 million yuan. He was sentenced to death and the execution will be executed within seven days!
The entire courtroom became even more noisy, some were crying and shouting, some were cheering!
Only Song Li and He Qian were sitting quietly in the corner.
The crowd left one after another, and the relevant staff cleaned up the situation. Twenty minutes later, the chaos and noise disappeared, and they were the only two people left in the huge courtroom.
He Qian then reached out and grabbed her hand, wrapping his big palm around the back of her small hand with great force, "Song Li, did you see that?"
He had asked Lu Qinghe to go around collecting evidence and spent a lot of manpower and money to win this lawsuit, just so that she could feel better when she saw them being sentenced today. He also hoped that the lawsuit three years ago could clear up some of the misunderstandings about him.
This case wasn't supposed to be concluded so quickly, but he couldn't wait any longer. In less than two months, Lu Qinghe had been tortured to the point where his hair had nearly turned gray overnight! This speed was simply unprecedented!
Song Li slowly turned his head, looking for the source of the sound just now.
"That year, your sister was about to win the lawsuit. Later, it was indeed me who asked Lu Qinghe to take over, but I didn't know that the other party was your sister. It was entirely because of my second uncle's words that I helped! Do you understand?" He Qian explained in one breath. He was not a person who would hide things. To her, he was indeed a bastard in this matter!
"So, no matter how great the sin that person has committed or how serious the mistake he has made, you support them to get away with it just by listening to someone's words? You ignore my sister's life or death?" Song Li didn't get to the point of his words.
"Song Li, I didn't know the person suing Luo Songjiang was your sister!"
"I begged you back then! No matter how much I begged, it was useless! I didn't even ask you to help, I just begged you not to help! What did you say? You said there would be the next Zhang Songjiang and Li Songjiang! How can you... say you don't know?"
He Qian was instantly deflated. He was the one in the wrong, so his tone remained soft: "I admit that I shouldn't have said that that day. If I had known that the lawsuit I asked Lu Qinghe to intervene in was to deal with your sister, I definitely wouldn't have done it! But the incident had already happened, so I asked Lu Qinghe to collect their criminal evidence again..."
"Yes, it has already happened! Even if Luo Songjiang and Liu Zhijie are dead! My sister can't go back to the way she was before!"
He Qian seemed to have hit his head against a wall!
"Three years ago, you let Luo Songjiang and the others abuse my sister for two days and two nights. When you were happy, you sent Lu Qinghe to help them deal with obstacles and solve problems! What? Now they've made you unhappy, so you're asking Lu Qinghe to cooperate with you in suing them to death? You say you're acting on behalf of justice and bringing the bad guys to justice, but in reality, you still have everything under control. It all depends on how you want to play it!"
After listening to her string of insults, He Qian's face turned pale. "What do you mean I should let them humiliate your sister?"
Song Li didn't want to say anything more, so he stood up and was about to leave!
He Qian held her back, "Explain yourself clearly! What do you mean by asking me to let them humiliate your sister? Don't accuse me of something I didn't do!"
Song Li's backs were throbbing. Song Youran seemed like her Achilles' heel, unmentionable and untouchable! She shook his hand off several times, but when that didn't work, she used her other hand to pry it apart.
He Qian clamped her with both hands, forcing her to face him, "Song Li, tell me clearly when I told them to rape your sister!"
This problem is far more serious than the lawsuit he fought for Luo Songjiang back then! He can't let it go!
Song Li couldn't run away, so he simply stared at him, "Isn't it?"
He Qian's eyes were dark and gloomy. He had hoped to resolve the misunderstanding that caused his sister to lose the lawsuit three years ago, but he didn't expect it to lead to an even bigger misunderstanding! How could he tolerate this!
Song Li used all her strength to break free from the restraints, turned around and ran! She didn't want to see him at this moment, didn't want to please him, and didn't want to humble herself in front of him! This would only make her feel even more sorry for You Ran!
She ran out of the courthouse, running in the rain, aimlessly, but as long as she could get away from him.
Later, when He Qian revisited the lawsuit from three years ago, he recalled everything that had happened before and after that period in detail...
It turned out that the two days when Song Youran had the accident were when he locked Song Li in Ciyun Pavilion for three days and three nights because she was trying to leave Yuancheng!
He remembered very clearly how angry he was at that time, and said to her viciously: "Want to leave me? Song Li, I will let you taste the price you will pay if you want to leave me! Do you want your sister or your brother?"
But he never could bring himself to do it, so he just made up an excuse and went on a business trip.
Then, Song Youran happened to be in trouble. No wonder Song Li would associate it with him...
