Chapter 625: Good Guys, Bad Guys
"Sand, Sand......"
In a quiet office, two people sat opposite each other on a sofa in the reception area, and there was no sound other than the rustle of flipping through papers. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This lady ......"
The old white man raised his hand a little tremblingly, folded his reading glasses well, sat up straight, drooped his eyelids slightly, and looked squarely at Mama Zheng, who was sitting opposite him, with those brown eyes that were no longer bright, just like a gentleman in England.
-- Actually, he was an old gentleman.
Dressed in a well-tailored suit, with meticulously combed silver hair, and a polite and friendly smile on his wrinkled face.
This is the bearing of an old lawyer who has been working in law for decades.
It is precisely because of the other party's qualifications that Zheng's mother will visit his office today.
"I already have a general idea of your commission......"
The old lawyer's speech speed is quite slow, but the pronunciation of every word is very clear, with a bit of the charm of years of precipitation.
"When a company involves legal documents, even if it is a newly established company, it is not an easy job to verify all the documents, including investigating the true situation of Party B. I don't have enough energy alone, so I can only take my time, and it may take a few days to give you accurate results. In addition, I am afraid that I can't do anything about the accounts, so I recommend that you entrust an accounting firm, and I can recommend you a few firms that I am familiar with. β
After listening to the old lawyer's words, Zheng's mother nodded directly in understanding, and said, "I understand, you just need to give me a conclusion as soon as possible." β
"Of course, that's my job. β
The old lawyer smiled very kindly, leaned on the armrest of the sofa with one hand, bent down and put the folder in his hand back on top of the pile of papers on the table, and then he lowered his eyelids and groaned again, and continued: "But...... As far as I can see, I have just briefly looked at a few contracts, and from a legal point of view, there is nothing wrong with them. β
ββ¦β¦ Are you sure?" asked Mama Zheng subconsciously frowning.
"Hmm......" Picking up the black tea on the table and taking a sip slowly, the old lawyer looked at Zheng's mother with a calm face, "According to what I have seen, there are no problems, no loopholes, and no legal traps, it is a fairly normal document." β
"That's it......" Mother Zheng frowned lightly and lowered her head, showing a little thoughtful look on her mature and beautiful face.
It's just that soon she straightened her face, raised her head and smiled faintly at the old lawyer, grabbed her bag and stood up, and said, "Then I will leave this matter to you first, please give me a result as soon as possible." β
"No problem. β
"Well, then, I'll take my leave. Zheng's mother walked to the door of the office and said politely.
"Please walk slowly. β
The old lawyer also smiled and slowly stood up from the sofa, nodding to Zheng's mother in the air.
"Bang. β
The next moment, under the gentle gaze of the old lawyer, the door to the office was gently shut.
ββ¦β¦β
After looking down and pondering for a while, the old lawyer pursed his shriveled lips and looked at the stack of documents on the desktop in front of him, and an extremely complicated expression suddenly appeared on his old face.
He struggled for a while, and finally, he took out a mobile phone from his arms and dialed a number.
βit's_me.β (It's me)
The whole person sat back on the sofa as if he could no longer support it, and under the old lawyer's thick white eyebrows, the pair of brown eyes, which were not bright, seemed to be more and more cloudy at this time.
"Done?"
A soft, indifferent voice came from the phone.
"......" The old lawyer pursed his lips and was silent, then took a deep breath, slowly closed his eyes, and leaned back on the sofa as if he was extremely tired, and an old palm was raised weakly, ruffling the neckline that had been very neatly groomed, "...... That's it. β
"She believed?"
The person on the other end of the line asked again.
"I should have believed ......"
"The money you gave you didn't make you give me such a 'should'! I want an accurate answer!"
The person on the other end of the line said viciously.
"Maybe you should go to another psychiatrist and ask him to watch the lady's expression so you can know if she believes it or not!" the old lawyer seemed to be impatient, and he sat up, his old face with a mixture of guilt and a faint suppressed anger.
ββ¦β¦β
"Hah!"
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a moment, and then a laugh suddenly rang out, and the other party's mocking voice came out through the phone: "Old guy, I give you a suggestion, since you have chosen to be a bad person, don't miss the light of being a good person." Yes, it's good to be a good person, it satisfies your poor conscience, but it's only bad, it doesn't give you what you want...... Money. β
When he said this, the other party's voice became cold, and he whispered in a gloomy voice: "Aren't you lawyers the most respectful of the spirit of contract? Since you have accepted my money, I hope you can do things well! β
ββ¦β¦β
Suddenly, the old lawyer's face seemed to turn gray all of a sudden, and his lips trembled and opened his mouth, but in the end he still lowered his head, took a breath and pursed his lips and said, "...... I did everything you asked me to do, and I was confident that there were no flaws, and after I reported to her in a few days that there was no problem with the paperwork, the matter should be over. β
It's still the same "should", but this time, listening to the old lawyer's stiff voice, the other party seemed to be satisfied, but he immediately asked another sentence uneasily: "Are you sure you didn't show any flaws?"
"Hmm...... At least as far as I could observe, she didn't suspect anything. Of course, I wasn't her, and I didn't know exactly what was going on in the lady's mind. The old lawyer said with a calm face.
"Well, I got it. β
On the street not far from the law firm, in a car parked on the side of the road, Quan Ningyi sat in the back seat of the car, holding a mobile phone in one hand, and a pair of small eyes narrowed, staring at Zheng's mother, who had stopped a taxi in front of him and seemed to be about to go home.
Looking at the beautiful middle-aged woman from afar, he really couldn't see anything unusual on her face, and said coldly: "Do what you have to do well, and I will call you the balance." β
After saying that, without waiting for any response on the other side of the phone, Quan Ningyi hung up the phone directly, threw the phone aside, exhaled lightly from his mouth, closed his eyes and leaned back on the car seat.
"Heh...... 'Once money makes a noise, bad words will stop abruptly', this sentence is really not wrong, no matter what bullshit justice you have, the difference is just the price you have to pay. β
Fingers tapped on the edge of the window, Quan Ningyi's mocking sneer suddenly narrowed slightly, reopened his eyes, frowned and looked at the direction where Zheng's mother was in the car, and muttered to himself: "Accounting firm...... Although I had made false accounts in order to prevent any accidents, I ......"
After a while, he shook his head to himself, "Forget it...... It's a big deal to buy a few more people, it's just a little bit of money. β
Thinking like this, Quan Ningyi also let go of the worries in his heart, and ordered the young man sitting in the driver's seat in front of him: "Let's go, send me home." β
"Yes. β
Nodding immediately, the young man didn't look anything unusual on his face, and honestly started the car as he said.
Soon, the inconspicuous sedan on the side of the street started and drove in one direction, leaving only a faint trail of exhaust fumes......
β¦β¦
"Sir, you are back. β
"Hmm. β
When he returned home, Quan Ningyi seemed to have faded away from the hostility that had been bred outside, and made his words and deeds like those nobles with good etiquette and education, with a blazer in his hand, a neatly ironed white shirt and a pair of straight suit pants, and a pair of polished leather shoes on his feet.
"Hoo ......"
As soon as he entered the room, the friendly smile on Quan Ningyi's face directly turned into an impatient look, he raised his hand and pulled his neckline, ripped off the tie casually, and threw it on the bed next to him along with the clothes in his hand, and then turned around and walked to the desk and poured himself a glass of red wine, raised his head and drank it all.
ββ¦β¦β
Rubbing the goblet in his hand, Quan Ning looked pensive, turned his head to look at the safe in the corner of his room, thought about it, put down the wine glass in his hand, and walked towards the safe.
"Tick, tick...... Click, pop!"
After crouching down and entering the electronic password, with the sound of mechanical unlocking, the door of the safe "snapped" and opened a crack.
Quan Ning calmly stretched out his hand to open the door of the safe, and looked into the box.
However, in the next moment, the originally indifferent expression on his face froze, and a pair of small eyes widened incredibly.
"How...... What's going on?!!!"
The whole person stood up, Quan Ning's cheeks twitched, his eyes widened, and his expression instantly stared at everything in front of him.
And in his sight, the safe that should have held a few documents was empty, and there was nothing!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Meanwhile.
Just across the ocean, in a high-rise suite in one of the top hotels in Paris.
The middle-aged white man was wearing a nightgown and a glass of red wine in his hand, shaking gently, he stood in front of the wide floor-to-ceiling windows, staring at the entire bustling city below, and his deep blue eyes were far-reaching.
"Sir, the matter is investigated. β
A man in a suit and leather shoes came in through the door with a document bag in his hand, and after a second inspection by several bodyguards, he respectfully walked behind him and bowed.
"How did it turn out?"
Mark took a sip of the red wine in his hand, his eyes still observing the city outside the window, and asked lightly.
"It's about what you expected, the other party is really not a good person, we have checked, he has a relationship with a gang of gangs in Hong Kong, but the gang organization is not local to Hong Kong, according to our investigation, that organization should be related to the North Korean side. β
"North Korea?"
The thick, messy eyebrows suddenly raised, and Mark seemed to be a little interested, and turned his head to look at the subordinate who had come to report to him with interest.
"Yes, through our network, we initially understand that the other party's main business should be drug trafficking, and the specific headquarters is not very clear, but it has bases in various Asian countries. The man nodded and said: "Hong Kong is just a stronghold of theirs in China, and that Quan Ning is a small leader of them, to put it simply, his duty is to use his shell company to launder the black money transferred from drug trafficking to that organization." β
"So, Jessica's company was also used by him?"
After listening to the report of his subordinates, the expression on Mark's face did not change, as if he had expected it, and after taking another sip of red wine, he asked again in a calm tone.
"You can't say it's all used. The man shook his head, "For Miss Zheng's company, Quan Ning really didn't do anything in a big part of the place, and everything in the company's founding procedures is legal and in line with the regulations." β
"Mostly, that is, what did he do?"
"Well, although Miss Zheng's company is indeed okay in many aspects, Kwon Nin-il did use this company to run some of the illegal funds. But the amount is not much, and we don't know exactly what he thinks, but it is inferred that ...... Maybe he thinks he has the complete trust of Miss Zheng and wants to take it slowly. β
"What about the evidence?"
Mark drank the wine in the glass, smacked his lips and looked at the subordinates in front of him, and said lightly: "Without evidence, everything is empty talk." β
"It's ready for you. β
The man smiled slightly, respectfully lifted the document bag in his hand, handed it to Mark, and explained: "This is the document that our people sneaked into his house and obtained, and it is the real account of that part of the illegal funds." β
Mark casually took out the documents in the file bag and looked at them, and after a while, a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he didn't know who he was mocking, closed the document bag in his hand again, handed it to the bodyguard on the side, turned around and looked at the scenery outside the window again, and said softly as if playfully: "Therefore, no one can believe that being a bad guy is not good, and in the end, it is often planted on the evidence left by his own hands." β
The man smiled in agreement, and then, as if remembering something, continued, "By the way, sir, there is one more thing I want to report to you. β
"What's the matter?"
"That Quan Ningyi is still sending someone to investigate...... The gentleman. β
For some reason, when he said "that", the expression on the man's face seemed to be a little awkward, and there was a faint sense of inexplicable awe in his expression: "Now that we have investigated the details of the other party, I think, should we directly dispose of him on our side?"
ββ¦β¦β
Hearing his subordinate's suggestion, Mark looked at the scenery outside the window, frowned and thought for a while, but still shook his head and said, "Forget it, just follow what I told before, stop the person who stopped him, and don't let them know the slightest bit of information about that person." Besides, you can send someone to show me a little bit about Jessica's company, and don't do anything else. β
"But...... Why?" the man was stunned.
Mark pursed his lips, a look of helplessness on his face, "If that guy is some kind of liar who got up, it's better to say it, just take it to the suburbs and bury it." But now...... He's already involved with Jessica, and I think Jessica is like that, and he should indeed be a good friend. Then this problem is not as simple as getting rid of that guy. β
As he spoke, the middle-aged white man showed a slightly greasy expression, smacked his lips and said, "After all, Jessica is involved...... I'd better contact that guy and let him decide what to do with that guy himself. Anyway, with us watching, no matter how much Quan Ning plays, he won't bring down Jessica's company. If we intervene in this matter directly, we will be blamed if that person knows about it later. β
"Yes. After listening to Mark's explanation, the man nodded in agreement, and then asked, "What about this account that we brought out, do you need me to put it back for the time being?"
"No need. Mark shook his head, the corners of his mouth raised, as if mocking, narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at the front with a slight coldness, and said lightly: "The wild dog on the side of the road bites someone, even if it is because of ignorance, you have to teach it a lesson first, only let it learn to be afraid and worry, can it make its dog's eyes brighter in the future, isn't it?"
The man smiled knowingly, lowered his head and said, "Yes, I see." β
