Car-hailing Driver: Rewards from Complaints-Chapter 321 - 178: The Power Struggle Has Always Been Cruel—Only the Victor Reigns Supreme
After listening to the lawyer’s analysis, Li Baoqing and his wife were instantly petrified.
"How could it be this serious? I’ve done things way more serious than this before and nothing happened! Are you trying to scare me? I just hit him with an ashtray once, and it’s supposed to be the end for me?" Li Baoqing said, feeling unconvinced.
The lawyer replied helplessly, "The past is the past, now is now. If you go out on the street now and cause a little disturbance, it’s considered provoking trouble. How can it compare to before? The key point is that the person you hit is too influential, with so many big shots standing on his side as witnesses, and Zhang Xiang as his lawyer. Who is Zhang Xiang? Even if you’re innocent, after chatting with him for a bit, he might find something wrong with you. Not to mention the many illegal acts you’ve actually committed. Anyway, I’m analyzing this from a professional perspective. If you’re willing to fight to the end, I’ll certainly do my best to defend you. But... to be honest, at best, I can reduce your sentence by a few years. There’s no way you can walk out of the court unscathed like before."
Zhang Juan: "Impossible! We can’t accept such settlement terms! Let’s go to court; I don’t believe Zhang Xiang can achieve what you said!"
The lawyer nodded and said, "Alright! Since you want it this way, I have nothing more to say. I’ll inform Zhang Xiang right now, see you in court!"
Li Baoqing and Zhang Juan nodded, deciding to go head-to-head with Yang Chen.
At this moment, Qiu Yuhong called Li Baoqing from the United States.
Li Baoqing: "Why is Chairman Qiu calling me?"
Qiu Yuhong: "Just to tell you, Mr. Yang is a major shareholder of Shield Security Group, holding a 67% stake. I won’t say anything else; you should figure out for yourself how to act."
After speaking, Qiu Yuhong hung up the phone.
Li Baoqing stood motionless like a puppet for a long time.
He looked pale, and if not for the occasional blink of his eyes, he would look no different from a dead person.
After a long while, Li Baoqing put down the phone and said blandly, "Forget it, let’s agree to his terms and settle."
Zhang Juan and the lawyer were both shocked and quickly asked him why.
Li Baoqing sighed deeply and said, "Qiu Yuhong said Yang Chen is the controlling shareholder of Shield Security Group with a 67% stake. I don’t want our family to suddenly meet with an ’accident’ one day. Let’s settle; at least we can stay alive."
Zhang Juan: "What? He... he..."
Zhang Juan wanted to say something but didn’t know what to say. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮
Lawyer: "So should I contact Zhang Xiang and agree to all his terms?"
Li Baoqing nodded. Zhang Juan did not respond, which was considered her agreement.
Soon, Zhang Xiang received notification from Li Baoqing’s lawyer that the couple agreed to all settlement terms.
The final straw that broke Li Baoqing and his wife’s resolve was Qiu Yuhong’s call.
They could take their chances with the law, but they definitely wouldn’t dare take chances with Shield Security Group.
Li Baoqing and his wife once worked under Qiu Yuhong and knew how terrifying Shield Security Group’s overseas mercenary branch could be.
The law might spare their lives, but if the mercenary branch of Shield Security Group made a move, their family would stand no chance of survival.
Moreover, those professionals would do it flawlessly, and if they died, it would only be classified as an accidental incident.
Thus, the equity dispute between Yang Chen and the couple ended in Yang Chen’s victory.
Li Baoqing never imagined that after living such a carefree life, he would ultimately lose to an ashtray...
