270 The Mastermind
Cheng Yue looked at the a.s.sistant, who had suddenly stood up, with a puzzled expression in his eyes. “This is a very serious moment when the lawsuit is going on. Please don’t casually express your opinions. If you have any objections, you can have a chance to discuss and appeal later.”
“No, Your Honor, you must have misunderstood me.” The a.s.sistant walked to the front of the stage with a firm att.i.tude. “I think my next words will be very helpful in resolving the case. It should completely change the situation. Please give me a chance to speak and let me tell the truth to the world. I can’t let President Tang suffer this grievance for no reason.”
When the a.s.sistant said this, not only did Cheng Yue look puzzled, but even the people below the stage looked very puzzled. They did not know what was going on. They could only wait for what would happen next.
“Sure. Since you say so, I’ll give you a chance.” Cheng Yue smiled slightly. “I hope what you said is helpful to the case and not a waste of everyone’s time. If you’re deliberately stalling for time, don’t blame me for asking someone to invite you out.”
“What I want to say is that the real mastermind behind the Tang Corporation’s smuggling of firearms is not President Tang. I’m the cause of all this.”
After thinking about it, the a.s.sistant straightened her back and let out her voice completely. “It’s all because I’ve been in the Tang Corporation for too long. I’m jealous of the wealth that President Tang has. I’ve already been blinded by benefits and finally walked down this path of no return. Why can she command me from a high position while I can only be a small a.s.sistant by her side? I’m really indignant.”
Hearing the a.s.sistant’s words, there was an uproar. No one expected things to develop to this extent. At the same time, it was not only the people below the stage who were surprised. Even Shan Yue and Xi Feng, who had already sensed that Tang Li would have such methods, could not help but look surprised when they faced this situation.
She did not expect that an inconspicuous small character beside Tang Li would really sacrifice herself to take the blame for the Tang Corporation at this critical moment. It was unpredictable.
“I’ve been smuggling with the people of Country H in the name of the company. One time, in a moment of desperation, I secretly entered President Tang’s office and took her private seal to use. I didn’t expect to be discovered by President Shan this time.”
The a.s.sistant turned to everyone. “The reason why I’m here today is because President Tang treats me well. I don’t want President Tang to be accused of this groundless crime for no reason because of me. All of this is my fault, so I’m willing to accept the law’s punishment.”
Even Cheng Yue did not react for a moment. “Is what you said true? If you testify, not only will Tang Li eventually be punished by the law, but even you will suffer with her.”
“Everything I said is true. I’m not lying at all. I’m willing to bear the corresponding consequences for all the crimes I’ve committed. I just hope that everyone won’t wrong a good person like President Tang.”
The a.s.sistant seemed to be prepared to go to jail. She acted very relaxed. “I’ve already deeply realized the wrongness of my actions and I’m even sorry for the damage to President Tang’s reputation. The heavens are watching. President Tang shouldn’t be treated like this. I’m the one who ruined the reputation that the Tang Corporation has built over the years. I’m sorry, President Tang.”
Seeing that the situation was going according to the previous plan, Tang Li began to put on an act. She looked at her a.s.sistant in disbelief. “How can that be? I can give you whatever you want. The money is even easier to negotiate. I won’t blame you for anything, but why did you walk down this path of no return?”
The two of them playing along on the scene blinded most people. Some even began to think that Tang Li was really innocent, and that the real culprit was her a.s.sistant beside her.
