Chapter 985: Promised
"Adjournment now! An hour later, the verdict will be pronounced again! The judge rang the hammer and announced the withdrawal from the courtroom. So everyone began to leave one after another, resting outside the court, taking advantage of this gap, someone wanted to interview Zhen Fan, but Charles refused. This turn of events is amazing.
"We've won, boss!" Charles said happily to Zhen Fan, "We have a bombshell, look at that guy who was blown up by us." I guess when this hearing is over, his troubles will begin. β
"What happened to that woman?" Zhen Fan asked, this matter is completely operated by Charles, just now Charles simply told Zhen Fan about the matter, so Zhen Fan has such a question.
"Woman? The woman? We gave her some money enough to pay off her debts. We're the best of both worlds! Charles smiled, "Don't worry, we won't treat her badly, this kind of thing is a common occurrence in the legal profession, if they think it's a good deal, they will trade with us, everyone has a price!" β
"That woman has a daughter, and I want her to be properly housed, you know, that bastardβwhat's that name? Angus? Is Blake right? Keep an eye on me, and take action as soon as you find out he's going to be bad for that woman! Zhen Fan said to Charles, "You are a lawyer, you know how to avoid risks and do this kind of thing." β
"You mean kill him?" Charles mysteriously leaned up and said in a low voice.
"What do you think?" Zhen Fan couldn't help but feel a chill, this guy, how to be a lawyer. At the door of the courtroom, he openly said that he would kill this, kill that. Sure enough, he is a risk-averse guy. It's so awesome to say," warned. Ignore the warning, collect evidence, and only then go to legal action and use the law to prohibit him from approaching the woman! We are civilized people, don't do those bloody and violent things! β
"Oh, I know, I'll do it!" Charles nodded, civilized man? Yes, I'm a lawyer. A person from the upper class, but a dedicated lawyer for Zhen Fan's business empire, is the person in charge. In the future, he will be a pearl in the crown of this business kingdom.
An hour soon came, and the court held again, which was the court's verdict on Zhen Fan, but at the same time as the verdict was announced, several soldiers and a colonel came in. There were also two lieutenants and two sergeants. They came in without saying a word, and then sat down in the empty seats in the courtroom gallery.
"This court pronounces its verdict in court, where? Zhen was not at fault and was released in court without guilt. Retire from court! The judge said. He got up and left the courtroom. In fact, if you want to think about such a case, the general expedited trial procedure will be more appropriate. But because Zhen Fan is a celebrity, he made such a big battle.
After the court is discharged. The crowd dispersed, and some reporters blocked the door to interview Zhen Fan. But when Zhen Fan was about to walk out, those soldiers blocked his way. One of them, the highest-ranking colonel, said to Zhen Fan: "I'm sorry, I'm Sailun from the military base in Los Angeles?" Colonel Stanton, I have been ordered by General von Kasse to come and talk to you......"
"I'm sorry, I don't know you, and I don't know who General von Kase you are talking about, if you want to arrest me, then please take out your order to arrest me, if not...... Man, it's time for me to get out of here! Zhen Fan shook his head at him as he spoke, and walked straight out of the courthouse.
But as soon as he got out of the courthouse, he was immediately surrounded by a crowd, but Zhen Fan still squeezed into the car lightly and drove towards the place where he lived. Only a group of reporters and Colonel Stanton stood there dumbfounded.
"I guess, our colonel screwed up again!" One of the sergeants stifled a smile and said to a lieutenant next to him, "I knew it was going to be like this, damn it." Let's go back like this! β
"Wait and see, we can watch a good show, can't we?" The lieutenant also couldn't help but laugh and said.
"Let's keep up with them!" Colonel Stanton said a word to them, and then drove two military vehicles and followed in the direction where Zhen Fan had left. He didn't understand why Zhen Fan reacted like this, but no matter what, he had to complete the task assigned by the general.
"How can such a man become a colonel?" A sergeant drove the car, following the colonel's car from a distance, and said to the lieutenant sitting next to him, "I really doubt that he has some backstage?" Is it the playboy in the house of those big shots? But why become a soldier? β
"The world of the rich, can you understand?" The lieutenant looked at the sergeant contemptuously, "Look at the road, man, I don't know anything, I don't even know why I'm here to find a guy who plays a movie." Could it be that he would take the laser sword and duel the beast? What a terrible idea! β
"It's not something we can worry about, we just have to look at the car in front of us. That's what I'm doing now! The sergeant muttered, then kicked the accelerator, followed the car in front of him, and made a turn, skimming over the mountain bends of Billy Hills.
"It's really the life of a rich man, I want to live here once in my dreams!" The sergeant sighed again, "I bet our general must want to cooperate with Mr. Zhen's clinic, I have heard of this clinic, it is amazing." But...... Is it to treat the monster? Aha--isn't that super funny? The sergeant said as he amused himself.
"It's not funny, man, it's New York this time, God knows where next time it will be? If that's the monster's revenge, then ...... Our base is the corpse of a monster, will his companions raze our military base to the ground? God knows, so pray for God's protection while you're still alive! The lieutenant smiled, unimpressed by the sergeant's words, he had a good point.
Sure enough, these words made the sergeant a little dull, and after a few more turns on the road, he arrived at Zhen Fan's residence, where several cars were parked at the door, and then Zhen Fan walked straight in, regardless of the group of soldiers who followed behind him. After entering, he greeted Linda, the nanny, Elsa, the governess, Maria, and finally the son in the cradle, and then hugged Yifei and greeted her softly.
"Didn't go to the clinic today?" Yifei really wanted to do things, so she went to the clinic if she had nothing to do, and Zhen Fan had such a problem.
"No, don't make a fuss, there's a guest coming!" Yi Fei smiled, patted Zhen Fan's hand, asked him to let go, and then walked over by himself and said to the soldiers, "I'm sorry, who are you looking for?" β
"We're looking for Mr. Zhen, I'm sorry to disturb you!" The colonel was obviously not stupid, he knew that it might have been because of his tone before, so Zhen Fan was not very happy, "I hope to be able to talk to Mr. Zhen!" Please allow me to do this because ...... This is very, very important! β
Yi Fei looked at Zhen Fan, saw him nod slightly, and said, "Okay, please come in!" With that, she led them into the hall, and Christina went into the kitchen and brought them coffee. When they were done, Zhen Fan walked into the hall and sat far away.
"If it's okay, I'll go upstairs first!" Yi Fei knew that Zhen Fan was going to talk to them about things, so she took the initiative to go upstairs. Only Christina remained in the hall, ready to record the conversation. But Zhen Fan interrupted and said, "I'll arrange this matter myself, you go upstairs and stay for a while." I'll call you when it's over! β
"Okay, I'll go chat with Yifei!" Christina nodded, and headed upstairs as well.
Seeing that the two women had left, Colonel Stanton immediately said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhen, I apologize to you for my previous attitude, but...... This is a very urgent matter, so I beg your pardon...... The general didn't say what he wanted us to do, he just asked me to show you these things......" he said, hooking his finger at one of the lieutenants.
The lieutenant immediately handed over a bag of papers. The colonel took the bag, handed it to Zhen Fan and said, "Here are some photos, the tragedy that happened on Long Beach Beach in New York, I believe you have also watched the TV news." Compared to the news, this stuff is even more regrettable. β
Zhen Fan took it, then opened the paper bag and took out a stack of photos from it. Just looking at the photo, Zhen Fan's brows furrowed, yes, it's hell on earth. A charred corpse was densely presented in front of Zhen Fan's eyes. Even he, who was used to seeing life and death, couldn't help frowning.
"This is the body of a little girl and a policewoman." The colonel's finger pointed to a photo that had just been turned out in Zhen Fan's hand, a larger charred corpse, and a small charred corpse. The two of them still seemed to be hugging each other, and the big corpse seemed to want to suppress the small one and protect her.
"The little girl's mother died, she called her mother there, and the policewoman tried very much to save her, but it didn't work, and both of them were wrapped in flames." Colonel Stanton's voice was a little blank and emotionless, but even this kind of narration made Zhen Fan couldn't help but sigh.
"Actually...... There are many more such photographs, the bodies have been cleaned up one after another, and the names of those who died alone are a long list of pages ......" the colonel continued, "what if...... If you can help us, Mr. Zhen, please help us, this time in New York, next time maybe Los Angeles......"
Zhen Fan groaned, did not immediately express his position, but sat there, slowly and repeatedly looked at these photos, and finally fixed the photos on the female policeman and the little girl, and finally said: "Go back!" β
This sentence suddenly made the colonel a little stunned, he couldn't help but stand up, looked at Zhen Fan, and stammered, "I'm sorry...... Mr...... What did you just say? β
"Go back, General SΓΉ von Casser, and I'll go to your base tomorrow morning." Zhen Fan put this stack of photos heavily on the coffee table, as if he had made a decision. (To be continued......)
