Rebirth with a Space to Counterattack and Abuse the Scumbag
Chapter 99 Deep in the Quagmire: A Perilous Struggle
The archives room reeked of dust, and the air was so stuffy it was suffocating.
I slumped to the ground, my fingertips covered in dust, but I didn't feel it at all.
Sun Zhijun vanished without a trace, like a wisp of smoke.
My fingerprints?
Ha, what a clumsy frame-up!
Zhou Cheng, do you think you can bring me down like this?
I clenched my fists so tightly that my nails almost dug into my flesh, but the anger in my heart burned brighter and brighter.
Before I could even catch my breath, my phone rang sharply again, and the words "Liu Mingwei" flashed on the screen.
I took a deep breath and pressed the answer button. Before I could even speak, the other party bombarded me with questions like a bomb: "Ms. Miao Qing, what do you have to say about the allegations that your company is involved in commercial fraud and tax evasion? Do you admit to your illegal transactions with Sun Zhijun?"
I suppressed my anger and coldly retorted, "Reporter Liu, is reporting unverified information your professional ethics? Please watch your words, or I will pursue legal action against you!"
Liu Mingwei's tone became even more aggressive: "Ms. Miao, the evidence is now conclusive. What excuses do you have left? Do you think you can escape legal punishment?"
I gave a cold laugh and hung up the phone immediately.
These media outlets, like bloodthirsty sharks, swarm at the slightest hint of blood, eager to tear me to shreds.
I felt as if I were being swallowed by darkness, and the suppressed emotions surged like a tide, almost drowning me.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door, and Chen Yuzhen rushed in, holding a piece of paper in her hand, her face as pale as paper: "President Miao... a court summons..."
I took the summons, which clearly stated "Plaintiff: Zhou Cheng". My heart sank. Zhou Cheng, you finally made your move!
I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm, and said to Chen Yuzhen, "I understand, you can go out now."
I sat alone in my office, clutching the summons tightly in my hand, my knuckles turning white.
Zhao Zhengqing, the lawyer known for his sophistry and distortion of the truth, will be my opponent.
This lawsuit is going to be a tough battle!
Suddenly, the office phone rang. I mechanically answered it, and a deep voice came through: "Ms. Miao, this is Attorney Zhao Zhengqing. Regarding Mr. Zhou's accusations against you, I think we need to discuss this..."
I gripped the phone tightly, my voice icy: "Attorney Zhao, I think you should know that I will not compromise."
A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone: "Ms. Miao, you are very confident, but I hope you can maintain that confidence in court."
I slammed down the phone. Zhou Cheng, Zhao Zhengqing, do you think you can defeat me like this?
I will never surrender!
I picked up my phone and dialed a number...
"Help me find out who Zhao Zhengqing has been in contact with recently..."
The dimly lit room was filled with smoke and the air reeked of cheap cigarettes.
Gong Lin stood before me, holding an address in his hand, his voice low and firm: "Found him. Sun Zhijun is hiding here." His eyes, like stars in the night sky, shone with unwavering light, giving me boundless strength.
I clutched the tool fragments I found in the archives, which were stained with Sun Zhijun's fingerprints. My heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to burst out of my chest.
The door to the rented room creaked open, and a musty smell wafted out.
Sun Zhijun huddled in the corner, his face pale and his eyes flickering.
I approached him step by step and threw the shard in front of him.
The moment he saw the fragments, his pupils contracted sharply, and his body trembled even more violently.
"How...how did you get this?" His voice trembled, as desperate as a trapped beast.
"Sun Zhijun, do you think you've covered your tracks perfectly?" My voice was icy, like the snow in winter, devoid of any emotion.
"Do you think you can escape legal punishment by framing me for faking my death?"
He avoided my gaze, not daring to look me in the eye.
I knew he panicked.
He was afraid.
This is exactly what I wanted!
In court, Zhao Zhengqing's smug face made me want to vomit.
He spoke eloquently, weaving a web of lies that seemed incredibly convincing, as if I were the most heinous criminal.
I took a deep breath, suppressed my anger, and calmly said to the judge, "Your Honor, I request a postponement of the trial. I need more time to gather evidence."
Zhao Zhengqing immediately jumped out to object: "Your Honor, Miao Qing's request is purely a delaying tactic; she is simply trying to evade legal punishment!"
The judge struck the gavel and solemnly pronounced the verdict: "Given the complexity of the case, the defendant's application is granted, and the trial is postponed for one week."
Zhao Zhengqing's face turned ashen instantly. He glared at me fiercely, but I smiled slightly and gave a cold laugh.
The game has only just begun.
Back in that musty-smelling rented room, I pressed Sun Zhijun for answers again.
His mind was on the verge of collapse; his eyes were vacant, as if he had lost his soul.
Suddenly, he abruptly raised his head and said in an almost frantic tone, "I can tell you everything, but you must guarantee my safety!" I looked at him, said nothing, and slowly turned on the recorder in my hand...
“Zhou Cheng, he…”
In the dimly lit rented room, Sun Zhijun pointed tremblingly to a dilapidated wooden box under the bed.
My heart pounded, and a premonition surged through me.
Upon opening the wooden crate, a musty smell wafted out; it was filled with documents.
I flipped through the pages quickly, my heart pounding faster and faster!
These documents record the transactions between Zhou Cheng and Sun Zhijun, and even contain evidence of some of Zhou Cheng's company's tax evasion!
I gripped the documents tightly, my knuckles turning white, as if I had grasped a lifeline.
But my heart sank quickly. The documents were incomplete, with key parts missing, like a jigsaw puzzle missing its most important pieces.
Damn it! That old fox Zhou Cheng!
My gaze gradually hardened.
This is just the beginning, a breakthrough!
I will never give up!
I grabbed Sun Zhijun by the collar and asked sternly, "Where is the complete evidence?" His eyes darted around, and he stammered, not daring to look me in the eye.
I know he's hiding something.
"Speak!" I emphasized, my eyes flashing with cold light.
He trembled with fear and stammered out a few words: "Hong... Hongyuan... Company..."
Hongyuan?
An inconspicuous little company had a brief collaboration with Zhou Cheng.
I immediately realized that this might be the key!
I rushed to Hongyuan Company. The boss was a shrewd, short man. When he saw me, I got straight to the point, explaining my purpose and hinting that he should tell me what he knew, or he would get himself into trouble.
His expression changed repeatedly, and finally, under my coercion and enticement, he handed over a USB drive.
"Here... are some data that Mr. Zhou asked me to back up..." His voice trembled, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
My heart was pounding as I held the USB drive!
I know I'm getting closer and closer to the truth!
Back at the office, I immediately plugged the USB drive into my computer, and the moment I opened the file, I gasped in shock!
Inside is a complete chain of evidence of Zhou Cheng's company evading taxes, and even all the details of his collusion with Sun Zhijun to frame me!
I gripped the USB drive tightly, a cold smile playing on my lips.
Zhou Cheng, you've schemed and plotted, but in the end, you still made a mistake!
I was on my way to court when Wang Jing called.
His tone was hesitant, tinged with uncertainty: "Miao Qing... about... the withdrawal of investment..."
I interrupted him, my tone firm: "Mr. Wang, tomorrow, I will give you an explanation in court."
