Chapter 2833 I'm Afraid We're Going to Jail

In the caf opposite the courthouse.

Shen Jingyan picked up a call.

His face was gloomy when he returned and sat down. He placed his cell phone on the table and dejectedly said, "They lost the lawsuit."

"Lost?" Wei Ling's hand trembled and she almost spilled the coffee.

Shen Jingyan nodded. "Yes."

Wei Ling quickly placed the coffee cup on the table and gripped the fabric of her clothes. Her eyes wandered and her lips trembled. "How did Tian Dali lose? Didn't they cause trouble for Jiang Zongjin?"

"Jiang Zongjin didn't come!" Shen Jingyan held his forehead. After thinking for a moment, he knew who had arranged it. "Qiao Nian didn't let him come. Only their lawyer was there. This lawyer seldom loses a case. No matter how difficult a case is, she can smoothly settle it. Do you think such a lawyer would be afraid of Tian Dali's family causing trouble during the trial?"

Just thinking about that scene, Wei Ling guessed how Tian Dali and the others were suppressed by Qiao Nian's lawyer at the trial today.

Making a scene in front of a lawyer?

Wasn't that dancing for the blind? It was unnecessary!

Panicked and at a loss, she looked at Shen Jingyan nervously. "What should we do next? We can't continue like this.""

How could shen Jingyan not know that this was just the beginning? Even bigger things were waiting for them.

However, now that things had come to this, they could no longer stop.

Shen Jingyan tried his best to calm down, but his heart was in a mess. He was so agitated that he could not think of a solution.

After a while, he looked at Wei Ling, whose eyes were red, and said with a hoa.r.s.e voice, "Fortunately, this is only a civil lawsuit and doesn't involve criminal punishment. I reckon that she will use the court's verdict to influence public opinion. We can still stall for time as long as Tian Dali can withstand the pressure."

"I'll comfort them and tell them not to panic," Wei Ling said immediately.

Shen Jingyan looked at her deeply, picked up the cup of coffee, and forced himself to take a sip. "Back then, they were so carefree when they used the media to besiege Jiang Zongjin. Now, the backlash is just as painful. They might not be able to withstand the pressure."

Wei Ling couldn't care less. She calmed down and said, "I'll give them money to shut them up. I definitely won't let them go out and spout nonsense."

Shen Jingyan did not want to argue with her. "If they can resist the pressure and buy us time, we can use this time to think of a way to find connections to beg Qiao Nian or that person from the Ye family to let us off. If it works, we can still survive. If it doesn't..."

"What if it doesn't work?" Wei Ling was unhappy with the first half of his sentence. In the second half, her heart was in her throat and her breathing became heavier.

Shen Jingyan did not want to comfort her anymore. He lowered his head, picked up the coffee cup with trembling hands, and took another sip. Then, he looked up and met her eyes. "I'm afraid we're going to jail."

***

Just as he had expected.

The moment Qiao Nian received the results of this trial, she arranged for the media reporters to post the verdict online.

There was a lot of news online.

Previously, many people had scolded Jiang Zongjin for being worse than a beast. Now that the verdict was out, many people were speechless.
