Double evil in the business district
Chapter 380 An unexpected turn: Xiao Yue's calm response
Secretary Zhang walked hurriedly, her high heels tapping on the smooth marble floor, making a crisp "tapping" sound that echoed in the silent corridor.
Xiao Yue's heart also beat with this rapid rhythm, and an inexplicable uneasiness spread in her heart.
Her slender fingers gripped the phone tightly, her fingertips turning white.
"No news yet?" Xiao Yue's voice was slightly hoarse, and his eyes were fixed on Secretary Zhang.
Secretary Zhang shook his head, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead. "The other party has done a very good job of keeping it confidential. No information has been leaked yet."
Xiao Yue took a deep breath and tried to stay calm.
She turned to look at Researcher Chen and said firmly, "Let's check the evidence again to make sure everything is correct."
Researcher Chen nodded solemnly, his eyes behind the lenses flashing with determination.
He quickly turned on the computer, and lines of code poured down like a waterfall. His fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, carefully checking each piece of evidence.
The office area was filled with a tense atmosphere, with the sounds of keyboard tapping and papers shuffling intertwined like a compact march.
Outside the window, sunlight shines through the glass, but it cannot dispel the shadow that shrouds everyone's heart.
Xiao Yue paced back and forth, his brow furrowed and his eyes sharp, like a cheetah ready to pounce.
Suddenly, the door of the court was pushed open, and Lawyer Zhao walked in with a smug smile, followed by a nervous middle-aged man.
Lawyer Zhao cleared his throat and announced loudly: "Your Honor, we have found a key witness who can prove that Xiao's company had the intention to infringe the copyright!"
There was an uproar in the audience, and everyone turned their eyes to the middle-aged man, whispering one after another.
Xiao Yue's heart sank suddenly, but she did not panic as the other party expected.
She took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, stared at the witness behind Lawyer Zhao with a sharp gaze, and said in a steady tone: "I request a detailed questioning of the witness."
Judge Zhou paused for a moment and nodded, "Approved."
In the courtroom, everyone's eyes were focused on Xiao Yue. They were surprised at her calmness and curious about how she would deal with this sudden change.
Xiao Yue slowly stood up, a confident smile on his face, and looked directly at the witness. He slowly said, "Sir, please tell me..."
Xiao Yue's voice was clear and powerful, echoing in the solemn courtroom.
"Sir, you said you saw an employee of our company plagiarize the software code of another company. Could you please tell me the exact time and location? Who was present at the time?"
The witness hesitated, his eyes flickering: "About... maybe... a few months ago, in... in a cafe. At that time... there were only a few of us."
"How many months ago was it? Which cafe? Which people?" Xiao Yue pressed on step by step, his tone becoming increasingly sharp, his eyes as sharp as torches, as if he could see through people's hearts.
Beads of sweat appeared on the witness's forehead, and he subconsciously looked at Lawyer Zhao with a look of help in his eyes.
Lawyer Zhao coughed lightly and tried to guide the witness: "Mr. Witness, please carefully recall the specific circumstances at that time."
"I... I..." The witness's words became more and more confused, with more and more contradictions. The lies he had made up were easily pierced through like a paper-pasted window by Xiao Yue's sharp questioning.
Xiao Yue's lips curled into a cold smile. She pointed at the witness and said firmly and forcefully, "Your Honor, everyone, this witness's testimony is riddled with loopholes and inconsistencies. It's completely unreliable! I believe facts speak louder than words, and justice prevails!"
The witness's face turned pale, his lips trembled, and he could no longer utter a word.
Lawyer Zhao's face also turned very ugly. He didn't expect that his carefully planned plan would be so easily shattered by Xiao Yue.
There was a murmur in the audience, and people expressed their admiration for Xiao Yue's wisdom and calmness.
After the trial, Xiao Yue accepted media interviews outside the court.
Flashbulbs flashed and reporters rushed to ask her questions.
Xiao Yue faced the camera calmly and spoke appropriately. Her every smile and frown was full of confidence, and her every gesture exuded charming charm.
"Mr. Xiao, how did you manage to remain calm under such tremendous pressure and ultimately resolve the crisis?" asked a reporter.
Xiao Yue smiled slightly: "I believe that justice will eventually triumph over evil"
The employees of Xiao's Enterprise watched Xiao Yue's interview through live TV. They were proud of Xiao Yue and proud of Xiao's Enterprise.
The entire enterprise was immersed in an atmosphere of joy and pride.
Secretary Zhang excitedly shook Xiao Yue's hand: "Mr. Xiao, you are awesome!"
Xiao Yue gently patted the back of Secretary Zhang's hand, looked into the distance, and a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "This has just begun..."
Shen Ting's gaze always followed Xiao Yue, as gentle and affectionate as the warm spring sun.
He watched her calmly handle the situation and deftly resolve the crisis, and an indescribable sense of pride and love welled up in his heart.
He quietly took out his phone and typed a text message to his assistant who was already waiting outside the court: "Send the flowers in."
After Xiao Yue finished her statement, thunderous applause broke out in the audience.
She bowed gracefully in thanks, and when she turned around, a burst of bright color came into view.
A large bouquet of gorgeous champagne roses was gently placed on the table in front of her by the assistant, and the rich fragrance instantly filled the air.
She looked up in surprise and met Shen Ting's smiling eyes.
The love in his eyes was as warm and strong as the rose, which warmed her heart.
A sweet smile appeared on Xiao Yue's lips. The two of them looked at each other and smiled, which was better than a thousand words without any words.
Everyone around them could feel the deep love between them, and the air was filled with the scent of happiness.
The applause gradually died down, but Lawyer Zhao's expression grew increasingly gloomy.
He bit his lower lip and spoke again unwillingly: "Your Honor, I request to review some internal documents of Xiao Enterprise to ensure that no details are missed." His voice trembled slightly, as if he was trying hard to hide his inner uneasiness.
Xiao Yue agreed without hesitation: "No problem, we will fully cooperate." Her tone was firm, her eyes were clear, and she didn't dodge at all.
She believes that her company can withstand any test and that the truth will eventually come to light.
During the review process, Lawyer Zhao's eyes were as sharp as an eagle. He flipped through the documents page by page, trying to find even the slightest flaw.
He paused from time to time, frowned from time to time, and muttered something under his breath, and the atmosphere became tense again.
He deliberately misinterpreted certain clauses in the document in an attempt to mislead the judge and jury, but Xiao Yue saw through and refuted them one by one.
In the court, there was a fierce exchange of words and the air was filled with tension.
Just when the review was about to end and everyone thought that the copyright dispute was about to come to an end, Lawyer Zhao suddenly stopped what he was doing.
He raised his head, stared at Xiao Yue with burning eyes, and a meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Wait," he said slowly, a hint of undisguised pride in his tone, "I seem to have discovered a new suspicious point." He held up a document, pointed to a line of text, and said, "Regarding this project..."
