Chapter 1817: I’ll Let Her Go If You Can Make Qiao Nian Relent

After all, Jiang Xianrou’s case was difficult. Tang Wanru insisted that he do an innocent defense instead of applying for leniency. The chances of winning such a defense were slim.

Lawyer Huang was not confident, but he still had to comfort the anxious Tang Wanru. “We still have hope as long as Miss Jiang doesn’t confess.”

“I know. I’ve told her that. She won’t confess. Anyway, it’s all up to you, Lawyer Huang.”

Tang Wanru was still talking to the lawyer when suddenly, from the corner of her eye, she saw a black Land Rover stop not far away.

Then, the door opened and He Congming got out.

Her eyes lit up. After a pause, she mustered her courage and called out, “Mr. He. That letter of understanding…”

She had not given up yet.

It would not be too late if He Congming was willing to sign the letter of understanding before the trial. However, seeing that it was her, He Congming only glanced at her indifferently and said, “Mrs. Jiang, I’ll still say the same thing. As long as you can think of a way to get Miss Qiao to let me off, I’ll let Jiang Xianrou off too. If you can’t do it, don’t even think about getting that letter of understanding!

“There’s no free lunch in the world. Besides, Jiang Xianrou killed my mother. Why would I sign a letter of understanding for nothing?”

Tang Wanru choked on his retort.

He Congming was also furious upon seeing that she could not answer him.

After all, he had also been troubled by the matter of the goods for the past two days, and Bo Zheng was still looking for trouble with him.

Things got worse since yesterday. Other than Bo Zheng, another very powerful force in Beijing was targeting the He family. It was so powerful that he could not figure out the other party’s background.

He personally came to the court today to bite the bullet and take a gamble.

He was betting that Qiao Nian would come too.

In addition, he wanted to use Jiang Xianrou to take a gamble. He wanted to bet that someone from the Jiang family could make Qiao Nian relent for Jiang Xianrou’s future… However, his heart turned cold when he saw Tang Wanru’s embarrassed expression.

He Congming’s expression turned colder when he looked at the lavvyer beside her. He raised his chin slightly and asked, “You’re Jian Xianrou’s defense lawyer?” action

The lawyer did not dare to meet his gaze at all. His aura was very weak. “Ah, yes, yes. I’m Miss Jiang’s lawyer.”

“Hmph.” He Congming could tell at a glance that he didn’t have much ability.

He laughed disdainfully and turned his gaze back to Tang Wanru. “Mrs. Jiang, I advise you to have a good chat with Qiao Nian before the trial starts. As long as she’s willing to relent, we can cancel today’s trial… If you’re unwilling, you’re probably dreaming if you think you can rely on this lavvyer to fight me.”

He couldn’t be bothered to argue with Tang Wanru at the entrance of the court. After saying this, he said to the person beside him, “Let’s go.”

He was accompanied by three or four lawyers, and they were obviously the cream of the crop. Just as He Congming had said, if Qiao Nian didn’t relent, the He family would work hard to win the lawsuit.

Tang Wanru’s heart turned cold when she saw the He family’s legal team. It was as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on her. She gripped the strap of her handbag and gritted her teeth.

She could only follow him in.

Today’s trial was very popular.

The outside of the court was already surrounded by reporters and independent media who were chasing after the popularity.

When Tang Wanru and He Congming arrived, many people were following them with cameras, afraid that they would miss any details..
