Liu Yousong, who was still stubbornly resisting and refusing to cooperate with the police interrogation, was also a reckless person. He still didn’t believe that Huo Shengyuan would give up on him. So, even if he told his lawyer to contact Huo Shengyuan’s secretary with the dirt on Huo Shengyuan, he only got one sentence from the secretary. “President Huo said that he hopes that Director Liu will be able to change and turn over a new leaf while he’s inside. As for the confidential dirt, if Director Liu likes it, he can expose it to his heart’s content.” Liu Yousong was the only one who thought that the secret would hurt Huo Shengyuan.

“Director Liu, in case you don’t believe me, I recorded the conversation with

President Huo’s secretary. In addition, President Huo’s secretary said that

President Huo’s lawyer is on vacation overseas, but according to what I know, President Huo sent his private lawyer to handle his brother’s case. Finally, last night, I went to persuade Yi Mengjie again. She and her child refused to reconcile. Their attitude was very firm. At this point, I think you can listen to Lawyer Liu’s opinion. The only person who can really help you at this time is your legal wife, Ms. Shen Yameng.”

“Huo Shengyuan, that bastard!” Liu Yousong started cursing, “And that bitch Shen Yameng. I don’t know how many schemes she’s done against me outside. How am I supposed to take this lying down?

“There’s no need to swallow this anger. Both of you take what you need. This kind of relationship is more reliable than a normal husband and wife. With benefits, Madam will do her best to reduce your sentence. Moreover, as far as I know, during the days that you were detained, Madam has kept the house in order. Even the mistress and illegitimate child who came to look for trouble have been arranged by her clearly and never appeared at the Liu family’s gate again. Therefore, from the perspective of interests and the long term, I suggest that you establish a clear partnership with your wife.”

“What if I just don’t want to?” Liu Yousong resisted.

“Director Liu, your wishes are not important now. It depends on whether Madam is willing or not. Please face a very important problem. No one is willing to help you deal with it now.” The lawyer’s words were already very straightforward. Shen Yameng had the initiative now. Liu Yousong’s sentence reduction depended on Shen Yameng’s mood. If Shen Yameng was in a bad mood and wanted to sign the divorce papers with him, not only would he serve out his sentence, but he would also lose most of his assets.

“Of course, if you still can’t accept it, I’ll do my best to get your sentence reduced. But to be honest, there’s not much hope. I just hope that it won’t take too long to consider. Otherwise, it will be too late after the verdict is passed.”

“I’ll ask you one last time. What do you think Huo Shengyuan thinks of me?” Liu Yousong couldn’t figure it out. He thought that he and Huo Shengyuan were very close, so he didn’t expect Huo Shengyuan to be so indifferent to him. “Director Liu, do you want to hear the truth or lies?”

“Do you think there’s any point in listening to lies now?” Liu Yousong sneered and asked.

“From the information you asked me to convey, the damage to the leader of a large corporation is almost negligible. So, I think you’re meaningless to President Huo. This is the truth. If he makes you feel that he has a meaning to him, it is just a means to control people.”

“You’re saying that he’s been using me all this time?”

The lavvyer didn’t say anything, but the answer was obvious.

“At least, no one will turn a blind eye to a true friend’s plead, right?”

Liu Yousong was speechless. If Huo Shengyuan really wanted to save him, he would have been in jail for a few days, but there was still no news from the other party. Now that the lavvyer had made it clear, he was still making excuses for Huo Shengyuan. Or perhaps, what he was even more unwilling to admit was his own stupidity.

“I can’t do anything to him?”

“Currently, there isn’t.” How was this possible? It wasn’t Huo Shengyuan who had committed a crime. There was no way Huo Shengyuan would be implicated in this matter.

“What if I don’t mind going to jail? What if I just want Huo Shengyuan to suffer?”

The lawyer should have known that Liu Yousong was very stubborn. Therefore, he was irrational most of the time. Even though he was now in prison and was about to be sentenced, he was still most concerned about what would happen to those who betrayed him..
