CHAPTER 122: CHAPTER 116: DEFAMATION

Leng Yichen sharply raised his eyes when he heard Gu Manli’s insulting words towards Bai Yiran. Gu Manli shivered, unwillingly opened her mouth, but said nothing more.

"What? Disagree?" Bai Yiran’s tone was indifferent, as if asking an insignificant question, but it made people not dare to be careless, "It’s okay if you disagree, then listen to the next one."

Then, Bai Yiran turned to the lawyer Leng Yichen brought and asked, "Mr. Lawyer, how many years is one sentenced to if convicted of defamation?"

The lawyer was stunned and glanced at Leng Yichen, wasn’t this the information Mr. Leng asked him to prepare?

"Punishable by imprisonment of up to three years, detention, surveillance, or deprivation of political rights for life."

Bai Yiran nodded with satisfaction and looked at Gu Manli on the side.

Gu Manli began to feel uneasy, "Bai Yiran, what do you mean by this!"

Bai Yiran smiled, "I have already drafted the indictment, it will be sent to the court in a moment, just wait to receive the court’s summons!"

Gu Manli forcefully refuted with composure, "Bai, on what grounds are you suing me for defamation!"

"That photo was given to the reporter by you, right? You knew very well the person in that photo wasn’t me, yet you forcibly linked the incident to me, causing a significant impact. If it’s not defamation, then what is it!"

"Bai Yiran, you’re really funny, why do you think I gave the photo to the reporter! Do you have evidence!"

"Ms. Gu, do you think it’s difficult for Mr. Leng to find evidence?" The lawyer spoke flatly without any expression, yet it startled Gu Manli into a cold sweat.

Right, how did she forget that the person in front of her was Leng Yichen? Even if there was no evidence, he would create evidence!

Bai Hongguang began to feel that things were gradually turning awry. He initially wanted to restrain Leng Yichen with the photo matter but hadn’t expected Leng Yichen to strike first!

"Just... even if I gave the photo to the reporter, but on what grounds do you say the person in the photo isn’t you? Everyone thinks it’s your photo, so it’s your photo!"

"You clearly know whose photo that is, so stop quibbling here, if you’re capable, go quibble with the judge!" Bai Yiran’s long-standing grievances were finally released today, "Furthermore, in addition to criminal liability, there also has to be civil compensation, totaling fifty million!"

"Bai Yiran, do you know what you’re saying!" Bai Hongguang glared at Bai Yiran with bloodshot eyes, first asking him to transfer stock, then suing Gu Manli for defamation, and now demanding a fifty million civil compensation! "Bai Yiran, you are indeed my good daughter!"

Leng Yichen adjusted his position, watching Bai Yiran with interest, his little wife really gave him too many surprises.

Bai Yiran ignored Bai Hongguang’s sarcasm towards her and continued, "I think you might not have realized the severity of this matter, I am Leng Yichen’s wife, and I am in a partnership with him. Such an incident has already led to a drop in Huamei’s stock price, this is not simply a matter of fifty million! It’s either obediently compensate me fifty million, or transfer the shares to me! You choose yourself!"

Bai Hongguang’s hands trembled as he held the two documents, having an intense mental struggle, where is Bai Yiran letting him choose, clearly both paths are forcing him to death!

At this point, Bai Hongguang knew that the situation had reached an irreparable stage, besides agreeing to Leng Yichen’s terms, he had no other way, asking him to come up with fifty million was impossible! Not to mention fifty million, if he doesn’t find a way to save the company soon, he would have to sell his house, and his house is not worth fifty million!

Finally, trembling, he signed the stock transfer agreement.
