Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 2467: Chapter 1828: The Tables Turned (3)

The secretary followed up with this sentence, which instantly silenced the entire room. Even the judge raised his head, looking at him with suspicion.

What did he say? Tike’s smile froze on his face as he stared at the secretary.

Not only him, but even Fiewood and Fiewood’s secretary had the same expression.

”Your Honor, I am willing to bear the consequences of everything I’ve said. At the time, I was merely arranging a meal over the phone with the other party; it had nothing to do with Mr. Cilio!” Cilio’s secretary reiterated.

The situation suddenly took a dramatic turn!

Anyone could tell that the appearance of Cilio’s secretary was a preparation by Fiewood’s side, extremely unfavorable to Cilio.

But unexpectedly, the person suddenly changed his stance.

”With you talking like that, you better think about the consequences!” Fiewood on the stand couldn’t help but shout in surprise.

”Objection! Mr. Fiewood is using threatening language to interfere with the witness!” Cilio’s lawyer immediately shouted.

”Objection sustained.” The judge soberly looked at Fiewood, ”Mr. Fiewood, please mind your words!”

Fiewood continued to stare at the secretary, bewildered.

This person was not only one of their own, but they also had leverage over him, trusting he wouldn’t act recklessly, thus assigning him such an important role.

How could he now betray them?

Wasn’t he afraid that his affairs would be exposed?!

Fiewood’s shock and confusion mirrored Tike’s.

At this moment, Brown turned to look at Tike, his expression calm, nonchalantly saying, ”There are many ways to intimidate or bribe someone to obey, and even more to make someone change their stance. Little Tike, I really should teach you well in these matters, as the methods I know are countless times more!”

Tike stared wide-eyed, astonished at Brown.

Brown turned away, comfortably leaning back, fingers interlocked, saying, ”Whatever tactics you have, just use them.”

Tike’s eyes revealed a trace of dread as he looked at Brown in front of him.

This evidence was quickly overturned, and Fiewood rapidly adjusted his mood to present evidence again.

However, next, whether it was witness testimony or physical evidence, everything they had prepared went wrong.

It was incredibly terrifying, like having laid a trap for others, only to find that the trap location had mines planted by the opponent.

The most frightening part wasn’t this, but during the second half of the trial, Wen Yan proactively submitted evidence to the judge, proving that all the previous corporate heads, those so-called witnesses, had falsified testimonies and evidence.

Seeing this scene, Tike tensed up completely.

Even if, at the start of the entire trial, Wen Yan publicly announced an investigation into those people, meaning the group’s headquarters’ Investigation Department was involved, it was impossible to have completed the investigation so quickly before this trial ended!

Problems were found with the testimonies and evidence...

It can only be said that they had already obtained a detailed list of personnel and started the investigation!

Wen Yan’s previous declaration was only to mislead people, causing them to relax.

Thinking of this, Tike truly felt a chill throughout his body, as if falling into an ice cave.

Many things connected, sending thoughts racing a thousand miles, and Tike, not a fool but exceedingly shrewd, had an epiphany, turning at once to Bai Xiaosheng’s place.

Who attended to testify today was previously disclosed through Fiewood to the investigation team, so aside from the authorities and Tike’s covert maneuvers, no one else should know.

The Lekram investigation team notified the Zhenbei Group but wouldn’t provide detailed content.

Brown, even less, could have known.

But now thinking back, not only did Wen Yan’s side produce investigation results too quickly, even Brown was unfazed upon seeing those people, as if...

He already knew in advance!

Who would know beforehand and inform them!

Tike figured it out.

Rumors already stated that the Lekram investigation team, to assure the startled Bai Xiaosheng, would show him every interview transcript.

Bai Xiaosheng could be the one who knew!

Did he pass it to Wen Yan, even to Brown?!

But why?

Wouldn’t this help him eliminate Brown and his son, benefiting him?

Why would he instead aid the enemy?!

Tike’s heart was suddenly in turmoil, and he remembered receiving Bai Xiaosheng’s second-stage investigation report to be sent to the headquarters but appeared in his email, with no knowledge of who sent it.

Bai Xiaosheng evidently didn’t know that private email of his, Wen Yan might find it, but it wasn’t necessary.

Brown had a more convenient means to know!

...

Tike only felt an icy wind down his spine.

Some thoughts are indeed terrifying!

Bai Xiaosheng, Brown, Wen Yan, these three seemed like a tangled mess, filling his head, making it almost impossible to think.

”The court announces all evidence nullified; Cilio’s intent to attack was impulsive and doesn’t constitute premeditation,” the judge loudly declared.

At this moment, Cilio sighed with relief, nearly sliding to the floor.

Tike suddenly lifted his head, looking with dissatisfaction at the judge, noticing someone whispering beside the judge.

Then, the judge loudly continued, ”Mr. Bai Xiaosheng and the Huaxia Business Group both express this was an impulsive act by Mr. Cilio, and they request no accountability. Given that Mr. Cilio caused no impact or loss, this court now declares a six-month jail sentence, suspended for six months for Mr. Cilio.”

Suspended sentence, meaning no prison?!

This outcome practically blew up Tike, as he abruptly stood up, shouting, ”I refuse to accept this verdict!”

Everyone involuntarily looked towards Tike.

Bai Xiaosheng’s eyes were filled with empathy, Brown knowingly sneered, and Wen Yan stretched lazily.

The judge, extremely displeased, looked up at Tike, coldly saying, ”Sir, if you disrupt the court order, I will sentence you!”

Indeed, there’s no more order; today’s trial has seen much disruption.

If there isn’t exemplary punishment, where is the dignity of the court!
