To Love You Again

Chapter 27 - A week (IV)

[DAY 5]

" Sir, please don't believe the rumors. Once the trial ended, CJ's innocence will be proven and our image will be restored to its peak. It's only temporary. We assure you that CJ's will truly compensate you and prove to you that CJ's, a hundred year old company, will rise on the top again. Please don't pull out your investments." One of board of directors said to the phone. Since from early morning they received calls after calls from the investments companies they had a connection to. They were all pulling out their investments. Breaching the contract.

The matter with GXX company being quiet made things worst. The other companies sense something was fishy and realized that the rumors against them might be true. As business is business, they don't want to ride on the sinking ship. The companies that have a relation to CJ's breach their contracts and distanced their selves from CJ's - a tainted company. They don't want their company's image to be damaged.

Of course, this move did not escape in SHM 's tailing techniques.

They posted again the companies that pulled out from CJ's. The viewers was adamant to know if it's true or not, contacting those companies in the list. The companies that pulled out did not have any against to CJ's so they also did not speak any of it. This made people agitated. Since they could not contact those private companies who were not obliged to answer them they turned to the government : Justice Department.

Xiong Zhi who were dilly-dallying in school and staring at Linfeng most of the time saw this news.

'It is about time....'

She reached out to her phone and dialed a number.

"Hello? Lawyer Bivia Chang speaking."

"Lawyer Chang this is Xiong Zhi. Meet me at XX coffee shop at 6pm. I'll bring the evidence to you."

Toooot...tooot....tooot...

Lawyer Chang stared at her phone.

'This girl....'

_____________________

6pm, XX coffee shop

Xiong Zhi was sipping her tea while staring at Lawyer Chang. Lawyer Chang was doing the same, sipping at her coffee while staring at the girl.

'How's the thing in her end...? -Xiong Zhi

'How's the thing in her end...?- Lawyer Chang

"The evidence-" Lawyer Chang

" The trial-" Xiong Zhi

"Well, you speak first." Lawyer Chang said .

"How's Xiao Mei's trial, did you manage to made them agree to be Xiao Mei's lawyer?"

"Not yet, but I will be no matter what. Huo Dian is helping. He is now taking care of the procedures to file an reinvestigation."

"Hmmm..."

"How about you? You said you'll bring to me the evidence?"

"En. Once I gave it to you, the matter will be handle by you. Be her lawyer and let Huo Dian be the prosecutor."

Lawyer Chang smiled at Xiong Zhi.

"That's what we planned. But the higher ups seemed unmoving. We we are now waiting for the public to act. So that they will be forced."

"En. Don't worry about the public's reaction and support. Just file and announced the trial publicly. I'll invite a media to publicize the trial , Live.? So they can act justly while the people watch them."

"Brilliant . Don't worry, me and Huo Dian will participate to the trial no matter what."

"En. " Then she handed the USB with the same file she had given to SHM and a box.

"This?" Lawyer Chang asked referring to the box.

"Samples. The results is in the USB and inside the box. Use it in the trial."

"OK. ",Lawyer Chang kept the box.

After the talk they parted ways.

On the way home Xiong Zhi called the SHM.

"Announce the upcoming trial in two days. Make people demand a public trial. If ever, make them rally against CJ's corruption and deceiving."

[ DAY 6 ]

As what Xiong Zhi said, SHM did not waste any time to announce to the public the upcoming trial of Xiao Mei's case. They posted articles saying how unjust it is for Xiao Mei to be a a suspected culprit while the evidence were all pointing at CJ's. The matter regarding the fake diamonds had been affected the public since they bought from CJ, and they want to reimburse the jewelries they bought if ever it was proven fake.

Seeing this article the public was fired up more. They used their hard owned money to buy these jeweleries, they? demanded to Justice Department to let them participate in the trial since they we're also victims.

In the department of justice, calls after calls greeted them.

"Yes, sir, we will see the matter at hand. Yes.. Yes, of course . thank you sir, we will announce what the department decision on this. The officials are now having a meeting regarding this. Yes, later in afternoon. Thank you sir."

Then the door opened revealing a middle-age man.

"Announce to the public we are having a public trial."

And then dial tones, ring tones and typing filled the room.

______________________

In the afternoon, a huge rock hit the CJ's, the Justice Department just announced that the trial will be opened for the public.

CEO Long and the board of directors called people they have relations to.

"What do you mean you don't have a choice!!?!! "

"I'm sorry CEO Long, the Justice Department has a say in the matter. I cannot help you with this. If your evidence are all accurate and true you don't have to be afraid. I assigned the people from my side to be the lawyer and prosecutor? to the trial tomorrow. You don't have to worry. The bureau doesn't have time to waste."

(A/N : what he mean by this if your evidence are hard to distinguish if it is true or not , then don't be afraid, since their department did not give time to check their evidence...something like that. I know you get it )

"I'm counting on your words chief. Once we're done with this case I'll treat you to your favorite restaurant. "

"En."

However, in the other side, Lawyer Chang and Prosecutor Huo Dian were pulling their strings to gather the evidence and check on it. They even filed to the justice department to be the prosecutor and the lawyer .

In their letter they said, "since it is a public trial, the department must assign a respected and trusted prosecutor and a lawyer who can present the case justly. Not a mediocre one and a junior."

Since the two had a good public image the Justice department allowed them too.

The lawyer and the prosecutor that had been assigned by the chief had a low image and low percentage of winning the case? rather than the two. So, they could replace them for the better. Besides, it is a Live trial, they must present their best.

Huo Dian and Lawyer Chang did not let the news of replacing the lawyer and prosecutor to reach in their Chief's ears.
