Chapter 159 It all depends on your own abilities.
Unfortunately, Chen Jingyang did not show up until 7:30.
Having said everything that needed to be said, Chen Qinian could only subtly remind Chen Qishan: "Brother Shan, it's 7:30. Jingyang should be waiting to greet you. If there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
Chen Qishan looked a little surprised, as if he had forgotten about it, and turned to ask Zhao Tianlai, "Has he arrived yet?"
Zhao Tianlai shook his head: "I didn't see it."
These past few days, Chen Jingyang has been very obedient, arriving at 8 am and 7 pm on time. Chen Qishan stopped thinking about it, figuring that he had already subdued Chen Jingyang.
He frowned slightly: "What's going on? Call and ask."
The phone was answered after only one ring, which meant that Chen Jingyang was probably waiting for him to call.
Zhao Tianlai's voice was as businesslike as ever: "It's 7:30, why aren't you home yet?"
Chen Jingyang said calmly, "If you don't want to go back, tell him that I will never go back to that so-called home again."
They directly used "he" to refer to Chen Qishan, without even using the official title of "father".
Zhao Tianlai was quite surprised and couldn't help but look at Chen Qishan.
The phone was on speakerphone, and Chen Qishan heard it all. His face immediately fell, and he reached out, and Zhao Tianlai quickly handed the phone to him.
"Chen Jingyang!" Chen Qishan asked coldly, "Have you forgotten the lesson we learned a few days ago?"
Chen Jingyang gave a short, sharp "tsk," his tone laced with utter disdain and coldness: "Of course I haven't forgotten."
How could he possibly forget!
Not only did he not forget, he also wanted to thank Chen Qishan for the lesson he learned, which made him realize how absurd his previous idea of relying on the Chen family to establish Tanzhi was!
He was even more grateful to Chen Qishan for giving him such an important reminder—always protect your own weaknesses first!
Chen Qishan narrowed his eyes slightly. Chen Jingyang was so confident. Could it be that Zhang Pengfei was no longer in Beijing?
He hung up the phone decisively and asked Zhao Tianlai, "Is Zhang Pengfei still in China?"
"Yes!" Zhao Tianlai said affirmatively, "He is still working at the law firm as usual today."
Long before Chen Jingyang beat up Director Wang, Chen Qinian had thoroughly investigated Zhang Pengfei. He had been secretly collecting evidence, but he didn't expect Chen Jingyang to be so cautious. It wasn't until Zhang Pengfei's birthday party that he was able to find something to hold against him.
After Chen Jingyang was "subdued" that day, Chen Qishan immediately arranged for people to keep an eye on Zhang Pengfei's movements to prevent Chen Jingyang from hiding this "weak point".
Zhang Pengfei was completely unaware that he was being monitored, but Du Mingxuan noticed it as soon as he arrived at work. He smiled at a security guard patrolling the law firm entrance and even winked at him.
If Chen Qishan was surprised by Chen Jingyang's behavior, then Chen Qinian was shocked.
Only a few days have passed, and Chen Jingyang's tail is already wagging again?!
Why?
This doesn't make sense!
He immediately suggested to Chen Qishan, "Brother Shan, why don't I go and see what's going on?"
Chen Qishan agreed: "Be careful, don't alert them!"
Chen Qinian immediately investigated and told Chen Qishan the results the next day: "Someone has been following Zhang Pengfei. He must have hired a bodyguard for him. Moreover, that person seems to be from the Sharp Edge organization."
Chen Qishan chuckled: "No wonder."
Sharp Edge International is renowned for its few failures, and one of the key reasons for their consistent success is that they are very difficult to deal with.
If anyone dares to deliberately sabotage their business, they will "hunt down the vandal to the end".
Chen Jingyang's counterattack was indeed brilliant, but Chen Qishan didn't take it seriously because he still had other things in his hands that could make Chen Jingyang bow down.
Zhao Tianlai dialed Chen Jingyang's cell phone again, and Chen Qishan asked him directly, "Chen Jingyang, do you still remember those photos you saw that day?"
Chen Jingyang remained silent for a moment, then asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to say?"
"If you don't want the video to be made public and affect Zhang Pengfei's future and his family, then let's talk."
Chen Jingyang took a slow, sharp breath: "Time, place."
Compared to the fierce battles on Chen Jingyang's side, Zhang Pengfei's life was much more comfortable.
A young legal assistant joined the law firm a couple of days ago. She was very popular; not only was she pretty, but she also had a sweet tongue. As soon as she arrived, she followed Zhang Pengfei around calling him "brother," and that very night she ended up sleeping in the same room with him.
"Brother Fei." Du Mingxuan propped his face up on the table with one hand, and took a small cookie he'd swiped from Xiao Yan's drawer with the other. He took a bite and asked, "When are we getting off work?"
Zhang Pengfei was busy reviewing case materials and didn't even look up: "We'll talk about it later. If you're done with your work, you can go now. Don't wait for me."
Du Mingxuan raised an eyebrow, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. He mimicked the tone of a courtesan soliciting customers, saying in a seductive voice, "How can that be? She'll be lonely all alone in the room~"
"Tsk!" Zhang Pengfei turned his head and frowned: "Can't you, a guy this big, speak properly? Stop talking like a girl!"
"Oh~" Du Mingxuan laughed with a look of sudden realization, "So you like your tough side? You should have said so earlier!"
Zhang Pengfei ignored him and went back to looking at the materials.
Du Mingxuan was really bored, so he got up and went outside for a walk. He originally wanted to tease the security guard again, but the guard had already disappeared.
He had no choice but to open Xiao Yan's drawer again, rummage around for a while, and finally found a small bag of spicy strips. Then he sat down again, put his long legs on the table, and leisurely ate the spicy strips while playing on his phone.
More than an hour later, Zhang Pengfei finally raised his head, let out a deep breath, and called Attorney Zhu.
"Master, I've finished reading the case files from the daytime."
That's an understatement; I actually watched it for the seventh time.
"Hmm, any thoughts?"
Zhang Pengfei paused for a few seconds before replying slowly and clearly, "I want to take this case."
After a few seconds of silence, Attorney Zhu asked him, "Have you thought this through? Bai Tianhe may indeed have been framed, but his father, Bai Yinshan, is definitely not clean! The police have wanted to take action against Bai Yinshan for a long time, and now that they've run into internal strife, they'll definitely use Bai Tianhe as a breakthrough to force Bai Yinshan to expose his true colors."
The defendant has already been sentenced to death in the first instance, and the evidence seems irrefutable, so the chances of a reversal in the second instance are very slim.
“I know.” Zhang Pengfei looked down at the materials in his hand: “But since Bai Tianhe and Zhen Zhen did nothing illegal, there must be loopholes. I don’t believe that Black Tiger can frame someone so perfectly.”
Attorney Zhu took a while to speak: "Since you've made up your mind, then go ahead and do it. I'll call Bai Yinshan later, but whether he uses you or not depends on your own abilities."
"Yes, I understand, thank you, Master."
