Chapter 766: Yi Jingxi Has No Intention of Confessing
Looking at them, An Lan felt gratified. She liked Nian Junting. But the latter did not share the same feelings. So she believed that becoming work partners with him was a good enough choice.
…
Yi Jingxi drove all the way back to the Yi Group building. As soon as he entered the office, he kicked the table gruffly and yelled with anger, “Where the hell is Jin Chengpeng? Didn’t I call him on my way?”
“It takes about an hour for him to get here from his law firm.” Zeng Zhun followed him closely into the office. After answering his question, Zeng Zhun continued helplessly, “Mr. Yi, I think the current situation isn’t good for you. You should turn yourself in. Now, Luosang is going to charge you with two counts. If you take the initiative to confess, the judge might give you a lighter sentence. Even if you’re not thinking of yourself, you need to think of your mother. She’s over fifty years old, and has been living in a nursing home. If you went to prison, who would take care of her? If that did happen, I think you may as well sell the shares of the company. At the very least, you can ensure your mother’s quality of life while you’re in prison…”
Before he finished his rambling thought, Yi Jingxi punched him in the face. “Do you want me to go to prison?” Yi Jingxu grasped his collar, raging, and shouted, “Zeng Zhun, are you on my side or on Nian Junting’s? Don’t you forget that you got what you have now with my help. Why didn’t you say so when I was going all good? I’m surprised that you’re that kind of man.”
Zeng Zhun’s eyes showed disappointment, because Yi Jingxi continually doubted him.
“Mr. Yi, do you still not understand? To win this case, you need both strong manpower and financial power. It’s the first time An Lan has engaged in a lawsuit like this, but you’ve seen how capable she is. She must have lots of evidence. I’ve checked. Nian Junting has found some of your mother’s classmates and convinced them to testify. A lot of things are going against you. Lawyer Cao might have a chance to win this, but for Lawyer Jin, the chance is way too small. Unless you sell the Xu family’s house for cash… Except for that house, you have already mortgaged your other real properties and cars for the company…”
“I will sell that house over my dead body.” Yi Jinxi’s eyes suddenly turned red, and he choked, “That’s all I have.” Except for his memories in that house, he had nothing.
“Jingxi, just give up.” Zeng Zhun tried to persuade him with a bitter smile. “You’ve already made too many mistakes. If you didn’t send Xu Zhengxuan to prison and force Xu Luosang to stay around, things may not be as bad as they are today.”
“There’s no way back for me.” Yi Jingxi shambled a few steps backward and leaned against the table behind him. A while later, he murmured, “I’m going to sell my shares of Yi Group and use the money on the lawsuit. Contact buyers now.” He abruptly raised his head and continued, “I’m going to hire Lawyer Cao.”
Zeng Zhun frowned, feeling extra helpless.
…
The news that Yi Jingxi intended to sell the shares of Yi Group spread quickly. The next day, Nian Junting and Luosang, who stayed in An City, heard about it.
“It seems that Yi Jingxi has no intention of confessing.” Xu Luosang was a little disappointed. She thought that Yi Jingxi would at least have some conscience left. If he confessed, she might not put him in a desperate situation. After all, he had a mother to take care of.
