CHAPTER 484: CHAPTER 200: A BELATED DISCOVERY

After meeting Su Ziceng, Chang Chi’s anger intensified. "Chen Jiachun? What kind of lousy lawyer did you hire?" Chang Chi couldn’t contain her anger, now that she was in a detention cell, and the nature of the case had changed due to the involvement of a human life. It had become a public prosecution criminal case, and Chang Mei had also been moved from a regular detention cell to one requiring approval for visits.

Su Ziceng was clearly doing this on purpose, still bearing a grudge against my mother, that’s why she specifically found a terrible lawyer, intending to casually handle the case. This malicious woman, her actions could lead to Chang Mei being imprisoned. Now that godfather is ill and mom is also in jail, she wants to take the opportunity to rise to power and firmly grasp the Su Family in her hands. I must not let her have her way. Chang Chi’s lips were bitten with rage as she glared at Su Ziceng.

"No lawyers are willing to take on our case, even this Lawyer Chen Jiachun is still an unknown entity. I hope Pello can persuade him." Su Ziceng also knew that bringing out such an unknown little lawyer all of a sudden would certainly not sit well with Chang’s mother and daughter, but at this point, she could only hope that this Lawyer Chen would take on the case.

"You want Pello to convince him?" Chang Mei’s brow furrowed. After pondering for a moment, she recognized the merits of Pello’s financial moves after joining Su Family, which were acclaimed by all. This young man, who had made an agreement with her, was impressively competent - so much so that she was rather taken aback. However, with the Su Family facing a critical moment, she was still somewhat uneasy entrusting such an important matter to an outsider.

"I trust that he can win over Lawyer Chen," Su Ziceng had absolute faith in Pello and Chen Jiachun.

"Trust is good when it comes to people, but... it all depends on how much you understand them. Whether it’s Pello or Lawyer Chen Jiachun, how much do you really know?" Chang Mei regretted not immediately returning to the Su Family when trouble first broke out. If she had returned, she could have at least prevented Su Qingzhang’s unexpected stroke.

During her days in the detention cell, Chang Mei was completely cut off from the outside world, but it made her naturally calm mind work even more actively. Was Su Qingzhang’s stroke really just an accident?

High blood pressure is a chronic condition, but as long as he took his medication on time, it would not suddenly bring down Su Qingzhang, who paid attention to his health and was well taken care of. Moreover, the housekeeper said that when she went upstairs, Su Qingzhang’s door was open, and Yan Wuxu had run out of the baby’s room.

Before Su Qingzhang fell, didn’t he call out for Yan Wuxu?

"Compared to a foreign lawyer who might have communication difficulties, I would prefer the help of a domestic lawyer. Considering the legal system of Country Z, a local lawyer would be more reliable," Chang Mei spoke practically, realizing that foreign lawyers would need a long time to study various policies and regulations upon arriving in Country Z, which is less efficient than a local lawyer who is well-versed in local laws and regulations.

"Mom!" Chang Chi was about to explode again.

"However, I want to meet Lawyer Chen before anything else," Chang Mei’s reasonable request surprised Su Ziceng with her cooperation.

Chang Chi, furious, stormed out and slammed the door.

The room quieted down, and Su Ziceng briefly explained the situation of Su Qingzhang and the Su Family.

Chang Chi interjected in the middle: "I heard that Su Family’s mining business has been shut down. Compile some information and submit it to the Mining Department." In the detention cell, Chang Mei had specifically requested some newspapers, so she was aware of the situation outside.

"I’ve already spoken to the mayor," Su Ziceng pulled out the authorization document with signatures. The mayor’s signature was in stark contrast to Su Ziceng’s somewhat novice one.

Chang Mei gazed at those few words and paused her speech. After reading all of the content, she looked up at Su Ziceng again, "You’re not like Qiao Chu." She had always thought that Su Ziceng resembled Qiao Chu, whether in her smile or her haughty temperament.

But after what happened to the Su Family, Chang Mei realized that Su Ziceng and Qiao Chu were entirely different people.

"No, I’m very much like my mother. We both have tenacity in our bones," Su Ziceng took back the document, "Your document has been a great help to me."

Upon hearing this phrase she had never heard Su Ziceng use before, Chang Mei lowered her head. The smooth tabletop reflected the light in Chang Mei’s eyes.

"Look into Yan Wuxu. I suspect that your father’s stroke was no accident," Chang Mei was familiar with Su Qingzhang’s routines and habits from decades of living together, which was also why she had left the Su Family with peace of mind originally.
