CHAPTER 495: CHAPTER 203: THE SU FAMILY DEFENSIVE BATTLE (PART 3)

"Lawyer Chen," Su Ziceng extended his hand, and the two exchanged brief greetings.

Chen Jiachun felt somewhat uneasy; where was that man whose voice over the phone alone was reassuring? Chen Jiachun wasn’t prejudiced against women, but this woman in front of him looked too young. Her eyes were clear, resembling a dust-free porcelain vase—typical of rich young ladies.

The car used for the pickup was quite old and bumpy on the road. Su Ziceng, who drove, did not show any discomfort. Sitting in the driver’s seat, she kept her back straight, sweat continuously trickling down her forehead, not blinking, driving directly to the Mo City police station.

"Young people, they handle things quite efficiently," Chen Jiachun thought to himself; he also disliked some past clients, especially those from big corporations, who liked to fuss about everything before getting down to business.

"Lawyer Chen, this is Secretary Chang, fully in charge of the legal affairs of this case," Su Ziceng made a brief introduction.

Her words comforted Chen Jiachun. By using the term "fully," it also indicated that the Su Family had given him full authority.

Chang Mei scrutinized Chen Jiachun longer; she needed to be sure that this unremarkable-looking man could help the Su Family escape this crisis.

When Chang Chi heard the news and rushed over, he immediately interrupted the ongoing conversation between Chen Jiachun and Chang Mei, "Excuse me, Lawyer Chen, have you handled any major cases before, or what cases were you responsible for previously?"

Chen Jiachun tried to maintain his smile; some clients always liked to ask about precedents; what’s important is the present moment.

"Xiao Chi, don’t be so rude," Chang Mei spoke after the conversation with Chen Jiachun. She now had a general understanding of this young man. His thoughts were clear, and his views were unique; compared to those conventional lawyers, he was very aggressive.

An aggressive lawyer can solve challenging cases. Chang Mei quickly reassured herself; she had decided to trust him fully.

Although Chang Chi was interrupted, he still refused to leave, sitting silently beside and listening to their conversation. As a former middle manager of the Su Family, Chang Chi also had to testify in court.

"That’s enough for today. I need to communicate further with the police and the prosecutor’s lawyer," Chen Jiachun gathered the documents, leaving the interrogation room to the three women.

"Mom," Chang Chi voiced his dissatisfaction first, "That lawyer was asking irrelevant questions, which are useless for breaking through this case; you should use the lawyer I hired."

"Xiao Chi, the trial starts in three days, and you must testify in court. Go back early and organize your testimony clearly," Chang Mei did not take Chang Chi’s suggestion but sent her back sooner instead.

"I..." Chang Chi glared at Su Ziceng and stormed out angrily.

"I heard that Secretary Wang has died," Chang Mei sighed; Secretary Wang was a peer of hers, after decades of interaction, even if they didn’t see eye to eye, feeling some sorrow upon hearing the news of his death was inevitable.

Su Ziceng was absent-minded; with the death of Secretary Wang, she had to be busy with the Su Family’s lawsuit, putting Yang Wuxu’s matter aside for now.

"His death was sudden, I remember he was very cautious, and having an accident due to night driving isn’t like him," Chang Mei stared at Su Ziceng, staring as her lips tightly pressed together, almost bleeding.

"Secretary Chang," Su Ziceng loosened her lips, still with a few pale teeth marks, "I will handle these matters further, for now, let’s focus on the Su Family’s issues."

"Are you sure you can handle everything by yourself?" Chang Mei looked at the thinned cheeks of Su Ziceng.

"I have to rely on myself," Su Ziceng tried to appear nonchalant, but her physical movements were more fragile than her spirit, her hands trembling slightly and her gaze somewhat vacant.

"Find someone to talk to; if you don’t want others to know, just talk to Qing Chang, I think he can still listen," Chang Mei turned her head as she spoke, her tone shifting.

Chen Jiachun hurriedly walked in, holding a recently acquired court summons in his hand, detailing the trial’s time, attendees, and related matters.

"For this lawsuit, the court has demanded a guilty defense, which is very unfavorable for us," as soon as Chen Jiachun’s words fell, all eyes in the room turned to Chang Mei.

A guilty defense, meaning that even before the trial began, the court had already judged the Su Family guilty. The battle was half lost even before it started. (To be continued.
