At the beginning, I want to quit the arena

Chapter 139 The Third Day
The news that the "Copyright Protection Regulations" passed the third reading in the Legislative Council made the news in the newspapers almost call out that Dakong Company helped Dongying people harvest comic companies under the guise of protecting the original.

Many newspapers have reflected the current attitudes of citizens through letters from readers:

Losing money to the Japanese people?Let them lose money to Xiangjiang people first!Xiangjiang, with a population of 160 million, was occupied by Dongying for four years, and the population was only over [-]. Has Dongying ever paid those victims and Xiangjiang a penny!

In the middle of the night, the lights in Li Shuming's office were still on.

"Public opinion is available." After reading the news in the newspaper, Li Shuming flipped through the relevant legal documents, then got up and stretched his neck, and said to Yan Sen who stayed up late with him.

Yan Sen flipped through the newspaper in his hand, but frowned slightly, as if he was a little confused.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Yan Sen's expression, Li Shuming asked.

Yan Sen turned his eyes from the newspaper to Li Shuming, and stretched his brows: "It's nothing, I just feel that everything went too smoothly, so smooth that I was a little suspicious, but I couldn't find the reason for my suspicion."

"Maybe the other party has already given up. Judging from the case files obtained at present, the presiding judge who will hear the trial three days later will not be the judge of the previous trial, but the presiding judge of the original court, Robbie. Guilao, used to be a legal consultant in the Nigerian Governor's Office, and later turned to Malaysia to co-found a law firm. Because of commercial disputes, he met Tianbo Law Firm in Xiangjiang. He is obsessed with politics, and his current appeal is to be promoted to Chief Justice of Xiangjiang before the return of Xiangjiang. Therefore, although he joined Tianbo for a short period of time, he is unlikely to be too partial to Tianbo for the sake of political performance. , I can conclude that Robbies is not the judge candidate in Tianbo's mind, and Robbies will be in charge of the trial in three days, probably because of the appointment of the Chief Justice and the Hong Kong Governor's Office behind it."

After Li Shuming finished talking about Robbies' information, he picked up the half-smoked cigar on the table, lit it up again, and said in an affirmative tone:
"As for the plaintiff's candidate to appear in court, Lin Cardi is unlikely to appear in the current public opinion and public opinion, so I can only say that Au Haokun is of mixed Chinese and English descent, and his eloquence as a barrister can only be regarded as third-rate. We will confront him in court. , no sense of accomplishment, although he will win."

When Li Shuming talked about his impression of Au Haokun, his tone was full of disdain, but in fact Li Shuming did not underestimate the enemy, but that he had been a Queen's Counsel for many years, and was the chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association before. His understanding of the well-known lawyers in Xiangjiang's legal circle can be said to be like the palm of his hand. In his eyes, Au Haokun is really not a powerful figure.

Yan Sen has followed Li Shuming for many years, so he naturally knows that Li Shuming is not conceited, but just evaluates the other party truthfully, but the suspicion in Yan Sen's heart is always lingering.

Shocked by the sharp rhythm of his moves, Sheng Jiale mistakenly switched from attacking to defending, and broke the relationship with the Dongying people.

All the opponent's reactions were the same as he had expected before. Yan Sen thought carefully about the recent past, and it seemed that there was no behavior that was seized by the opponent as an excuse to attack.

With the court date approaching and public opinion already rising, it will be difficult for the other party to come back, but where does my uneasiness come from?
Yan Sen's eyes searched aimlessly in the office, as if he wanted to find out the reason.

Li Shuming took a few puffs of his cigar, then took off his glasses, picked up the eyedrops and dripped them into his own eyes, to relieve the astringent feeling in his eyes from flipping through the documents, and said while dripping:
"The advertisement in the newspaper said that the braised Tianjiu fin at Chaozhou restaurant in Peninsula Hotel can be delivered. It's so late, why don't they send two servings of shark fin for supper. I'll treat you, and I'll apologize for causing you to work overtime with me until late at night. "

"Newspaper...advertisement..." Listening to Li Shuming's words, Yan Sen murmured and repeated a few words, and finally fixed his eyes on the newspaper he had just put down before!Eyes suddenly lit up!
Then Yan Sen quickly got up and went to the bookshelf, and found out all the newspapers of various colors for the past week, stacked them thickly, and carried them to the seat to quickly flip through them.

"What's wrong?" Li Shuming asked with blinking eyes after dripping the potion.

"Some thoughts..." Yan Sen flipped through the newspapers very quickly, and then looked at Li Shuming to express his suspicion: "If the newspaper guy went to the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion to petition, until now, those reporters who are like flies are not The news attracts, but they charge money to write advertisements? In the past week, the newspapers that should pay attention have reported continuously, which is understandable, but the newspapers that did not pay attention to this kind of people’s livelihood before also reported continuously. Where's the money?"

Li Shuming put his glasses back on the bridge of his nose: "You mean..."

"The other party is actually silent in the newspapers. I thought he was trying to make money in a low-key manner and didn't dare to offend public opinion. But now that I think about it, the other party has used newspaper public opinion before when dealing with Jimmy. Will he give up completely this time?" Yan Sen expressed Said seriously.

Li Shuming also looked a little cautious:

"As the court is approaching, more and more people will pay attention. All the readers are calling Dakong Company a traitor and a profiteer... This trend has risen. If the other party is really fueling the flames secretly, it means that he is hiding something. A hole card, ready to detonate suddenly before the court day."

"That's right, but the biggest problem right now is that I can't think of any hole cards the other party has!" Yan Sen said seriously.

Li Shuming's face slowly relaxed: "It doesn't matter. Even if there is a hole card, it is nothing more than against Li Shaokun's assets. At most, he will lose the lawsuit. The punitive damages are just as usual. It has nothing to do with us. We are not greedy for money. Accept the appointment normally."

"I guess it's the same." Yan Sen nodded slowly: "It's probably because of the assets of the Li family, there are some variables."

"A mad dog with a big appetite." After confirming again that he and Li Shuming have no reason to be countered by the other party, Yan Sen said with some regret: "In the future, we must stay away from this kind of mad dog."

At this moment, the phone on the table suddenly rang!

……

Late at night, in Kwun Tong Industrial Center, Dabao was leaning on the front of a Mitsubishi SUV, looking at Liang Pan not far away, calling out to his brothers, and carrying boxes of refreshing drinks, cigarettes and instant food from a small van, Liang Pan exhorted loudly beside him:
"Be polite, you are delivering supper to those big reporters, newspaper printing workers, and business managers in charge of distribution. You are not going to collect the bills, you must be polite!"

"Understood, Brother Pretty Pan!"

"Remember clearly! This is the big event that Damo explained! Remember clearly! Just by the way, by the way, keep an eye on the printing factory for me. I saw with my own eyes that the newspaper was printed from the printing factory tonight, put into the warehouse, and went all the way to the bed. Hong Kong newsstands, the batteries of the walkie-talkies have been replaced, and they can be contacted at any time. If anyone makes trouble in any link, even if it is Jesus, they will still give me a slap in the face!" Liang Pan bit her cigarette butt and said loudly:
"I'll pay for the family expenses, soup and medicine! In short, we must ensure that tomorrow's eight or nine Chinese newspapers will appear in all newspapers in Hong Kong without any changes!"

"Received!" A group of rotten boys said loudly.

……

Late at night, on the large terrace of Shengjiale’s residence in Yingwan Garden,
Maybe because of the heavy rain at dusk, the temperature at night was a bit low. Seeing that Sheng Jiale was only wearing a shirt, Deng Shitong silently took out a windbreaker and walked over to help Sheng Jiale put it on his shoulders.

Sheng Jiale patted the back of the opponent's hand, did not speak, just quietly looked at Li Guoqiang in front of him, seeing Li Guoqiang's expression, Deng Shitong couldn't bear it, turned around and walked back into the room.

Li Guoqiang held a paper document with trembling hands. There were three large characters on the cover, petition.

"You have worked so hard to establish the Xiangjiang Military Ticket Claims Association, which has been supported for 20 years, but was squeezed out and taken away. Later, the management used the name of countless victims in the aid association to raise funds and hired barristers to sue the Japanese government, collecting membership fees." Sheng Jia Le spoke slowly.

"Are you asking me to help you...to frame you?" Although the temperature was low, Li Guoqiang's forehead was dripping with sweat, and his heart was beating more violently.

Sheng Jiale said with certainty: "There is nothing wrong."

"The other party is a barrister, a Chinese..." Li Guoqiang looked at Sheng Jiale and said.

Sheng Jiale lowered his head and lit a cigarette: "The other party is just a dog raised by the British and now wants to put on a Chinese coat."

"What about you? You help the ghost...you are a Han..." Li Guoqiang swallowed his saliva, and finally did not say the word traitor.

Sheng Jiale exhaled smoke: "I'm not helping ghosts, I'm just a mad dog, whoever stops me, I'll bite to death."

Seeing Li Guoqiang's hesitant eyes, Sheng Jiale said, "It doesn't matter if you don't agree, other vice presidents can also expose this matter, but it's not as influential as your founder. Don't worry, you will If you don’t show up, I will also pay the fees of the four barristers of the Claims Association. Although I am crazy, I keep my word.”

"..." Li Guoqiang pursed his lips, not knowing how to speak.

Sheng Jiale said to Li Guoqiang: "It has been arranged. Tomorrow you will bring thousands of people to petition outside the Hong Kong Governor's Mansion. I have already arranged for the TV station and the newspaper office. Except for me, who is willing to provide you with such a good opportunity to speak out? You This is probably the first time that the Claims Association has received this kind of attention for so many years. Whether you should explain the experience of these years clearly by yourself, or let my people speak for you, you choose yourself, Ada, Aqing or even the woman just now, you can choose Do these things for you."

"But this is framing..." Li Guoqiang said with a throbbing throat.

"It's not framing, it's the truth. Did I force them to join the club? No? They did it voluntarily. If you don't want to come forward, it doesn't matter. As long as you don't publicly slander me and frame me, you can keep it secret for me. Otherwise, I promise to let you really Become a madman." Sheng Jiale took out a cigarette, stepped forward and inserted it into Li Guoqiang's mouth, and then took out a lighter to help him light it:
"You're a nice guy, and nice guys get nervous when they do something like that, I understand."

"You are a bad person." Li Guoqiang held the petition and took a puff of a cigarette. The acrid tobacco filled his mouth and lungs.

Sheng Jiale corrected with a smile: "No, I'm a villain."

Seeing Li Guoqiang grasping the petition, Sheng Jiale turned his head and looked at Guo Wenda on the sofa in the distance, Wang Yuanqing:
"Ada, Aqing, accompany President Li to prepare."

"Let's go, President Li, think slowly on the way." Guo Wenda and Wang Yuanqing walked over, patted Li Guoqiang on the shoulder, and walked through the living room towards the elevator with their arms around each other. Wang Yuanqing said as he walked, "Ale really takes money He came out to help the poor, of course he is a good person, and what he has to deal with is naturally a bad person, this kind of thing doesn't need to be too complicated..."

After the three of them disappeared overnight, only Sheng Jiale was left leaning on the railing on the balcony, quietly looking at the dark night. Liang Chen Zhiyi, who was sitting in the living room reading fashion magazines and drinking red wine, slowly got up and helped Sheng Jiale poured a glass of red wine and walked to the terrace with two red wine glasses.

Handing one of the cups to Sheng Jiale, he said with a smile, "Your policewoman friend seems to not mind me being here at all."

"I have already talked to people from Tianbo. After Li Shuming's scandal broke out, the Legislative Council will definitely ask him to resign. He is a member of the legal constituency, and the nominee for the by-election must also be a member of the legal profession. Your husband Liang Sir, you can consider participating in the nomination for the by-election." Sheng Jiale took the red wine, ignored Liang Chen Zhiyi's ridicule, and said.

The red wine glass in Liang Chen Zhiyi's hand trembled slightly, and the teasing smile on his face just now turned into disbelief.

Sheng Jiale gently shook the bright red wine in the glass: "Just give him a qualification to participate, don't fantasize too much, he won't be the member of the Legislative Council elected in this by-election, but with this opportunity, we can increase He has some popularity, if he knows how to behave and is capable, and he is favored by some big shots, and he is willing to take care of him a little bit, he may not have opportunities in the future."

"Now I understand why your woman doesn't mind other women appearing." After Liang Chen Zhiyi digested Sheng Jiale's words, he breathed slightly harder, and said sincerely.

On the same day, he appeared in front of me and helped me run for the Mong Kok District Councilor. He created a promotion meeting like a stone turning into gold, and pushed himself from No. 17, who had no chance of being elected before, to the top ten, and finally succeeded in being elected.

Not long ago, I found myself again, and said that if she persuaded Zhang Zhenlang, the chairman of the same district, to join the claims association he set up, it would increase their exposure. She successfully persuaded Zhang Zhenlang and others to join, but frankly speaking, being able to help him with this matter, Just out of trust in him before, Liang Chen Zhiyi didn't know why Sheng Jiale let them join this association, nor did he know how to expose it.

It wasn't until tonight that she got a glimpse of the whole situation. The 24-year-old in front of her wanted to destroy Li Shuming, the former chairman of the Hong Kong Bar Association, and even strip him of his last remaining status as a member of the Legislative Council.

You know, Li Shuming voluntarily gave up the titles bestowed by countless British people, but he only kept his status as a member of the Legislative Council. This status meant a lot to him, and losing it meant losing Li Shuming's political life.

Of course the British knew it too, but Li Shuming protected his reputation very well, making it hard for the British to say anything.

Now, Sheng Jiale has done it, as long as the public opinion is dirty, as long as it is poured on it, the dissatisfied British people will take over the follow-up destruction work without Sheng Jiale continuing to promote it.

And the man in front of him told himself at this moment that Li Shuming's vacant position as a member of the Legislative Council, her lawyer husband was eligible to be nominated for a by-election. Although it was only a nomination and it was impossible to be elected, it was of great significance to their husband and wife.

Xiangjiang does not lack talents, but it lacks a stage to showcase talents. The Legislative Council by-election is a stage. Even if it is only nominated, it is likely to attract a little attention from those real big shots. If you think your husband can be cultivated, you will naturally reach out. Olive branch, recruited under his command.

"I..." Liang Chen Zhiyi leaned half of his body on Sheng Jiale's shoulder, wanting to say something, but didn't know how to speak for a moment.

"If you are grateful, you don't need to say it. When I finish my work, when I invite you to have a meal together, remember to charge the room fee to Mr. Liang." Sheng Jiale touched Liang Chen Zhiyi's smooth face and said with a smile.

Then, he withdrew his gaze and continued to look at the dark night.

It was past midnight, and there were still three days left before the trial.
