Chen Feng looked at him speechlessly.
Does everyone now think of him as so sort of deity?
Seeing Chen Feng not speaking, Guo ngyao took the initiative and said, "In your situation, where the evidence is conclusive, thinking you’d get out easily is impossible. The most that could be done is to find a way to reduce your sentence."
Xue Jun was well aware of his situation, knowing it was difficult to escape punishnt. His previous words were rely testing the waters and bargaining.
Upon hearing Guo ngyao speak, he responded, "Alright then. If you can help reduce my sentence to within three years, I’ll accept it. Once the verdict is announced, I’ll transfer thirty million worth of shares to you."
Guo ngyao glanced at Chen Feng again.
Chen Feng felt a bit exhausted from her gaze. She really did think he was soone with significant influence.
But since things had reached this point, Chen Feng could only keep up the act, and said solemnly to Xue Jun, "Rember what you said today. Without any unforeseen issues, there might be a turnaround in your matter."
Xue Jun’s eyes lit up, and he asked excitedly, "Mr. Chen, is there really a chance for a turnaround?"
Chen Feng gave him a sideways smile and said, "Just wait and see. ngyao, let’s go."
After speaking, Chen Feng stood up, and seeing this, Guo ngyao quickly followed suit.
Sister Cao also stood up and pleaded with Chen Feng, "Mr. Chen, if you really have a way, please help our Xue get his sentence reduced; our whole family will be grateful for your kindness."
Chen Feng didn’t say much more, just nodded slightly at her before turning and leaving the eting room, with Guo ngyao quickly following behind.
Sister Cao didn’t leave imdiately, given there was still so ti.
"Old Xue, do you think this Mr. Chen can really help you?" Sister Cao asked with concern.
Xue Jun shook his head and said, "I don’t know either, but Sister Li ntioned he has great influence, so let’s give it a try. It might just work."
"Alas! The victim’s family has considerable power locally; can it work?"
Xue Jun said unhappily, "Stop your sighing and look so dejected! My case hasn’t even been tried yet."
Sister Cao could only stop her woeful words, focusing instead on how to explain to their two children that their dad was going to jail, which further upset Xue Jun.
anwhile, after Guo ngyao and Chen Feng ca out and got into the car, Guo ngyao imdiately asked if he was confident in helping Xue Jun get his sentence reduced.
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "That’s not certain; we’ll see then."
Seeing Chen Feng unwilling to elaborate, Guo ngyao didn’t press further, though she was quite happy. She felt Chen Feng had given her face and assud he must have a certain degree of confidence in helping Xue Jun reduce his sentence, otherwise he wouldn’t have spoken to Xue Jun like that earlier. If she could reclaim thirty percent of shares from Xue Jun at a price of three million, it’d be a huge gain for her.
Thus, in a good mood, Guo ngyao spent the day touring Guang City with Chen Feng, first going ho to spend ti with her daughter in the evening, then returning to the hotel to stay overnight with Chen Feng, going out of her way to unlock a few poses for him.
A new day ca in the blink of an eye, and in the morning, as the two were blissfully sleeping, they were awakened by a buzzing vibration coming from the phone.
It was Guo ngyao’s phone on the nightstand.
Reluctantly, Guo ngyao reached for her phone, saw the caller ID was Sister Li, and begrudgingly answered.
"ngyao, thank you so much!" Sister Li exclaid happily, "My husband has safely co out and is right next to . We’re really grateful to you. We’re coming to find you to sign the contract; is that okay? Also, I’d like to invite you and Mr. Chen for a al as a token of gratitude; does Mr. Chen have ti?"
Guo ngyao was stunned for quite a while before reacting. She truly hadn’t expected Sister Li’s husband to be out so soon. After Sister Li finished speaking, she quickly gathered herself and said with a smile: "You’re too kind. We’ve been friends for years, no need to be so distant. Then, let’s et at the cafe in Lige Hotel where we t last ti in half an hour. About the al, I’ll have to ask Chen Feng before giving you an answer."
"Okay, okay, we’ll drive to Lige Hotel right away. Please convey our thanks to Mr. Chen. It’d be best if we could personally thank him."
"Sure, I’ll tell him."
"Alright, sorry to trouble you."
After the call ended, Guo ngyao excitedly pounced on Chen Feng, planting a bunch of kisses on his face, exclaiming with laughter, "You’re amazing! You really got Sister Li’s husband out; how did you do it?"
Having worked hard all night, Chen Feng was still half-asleep, muttering with furrowed brows: "What are you doing?"
"Sister Li’s husband is safely out; tell how you did it?"
Guo ngyao rolled off him and lay beside him, her gaze curious and gentle.
Chen Feng woke up and murmured, then continued to close his eyes saying, "Don’t ask about this; I can’t tell."
Guo ngyao, aware there might be sensitive issues, didn’t insist even though she was a bit disappointed.
"Alright then. I won’t ask."
"That’s sensible. Let’s sleep a bit more." Chen Feng said, pulling her close.
"No, I need to get up now. We’ve arranged to et Sister Li to sign the share transfer contract, would you like to join? They want to invite you for a al to express their gratitude."
"I’m not going. Just say I’m not available."
Chen Feng didn’t want to et Sister Li and her husband. Even if they appeared to be respectful and humble, they believed he was the mastermind behind putting Sister Li’s husband in jail. How could they truly be grateful? They probably cursed him inwardly.
"Alright then. I’ll get up first; you can sleep a bit more."
Guo ngyao got out of bed, and Chen Feng continued to sleep soundly.
When Guo ngyao returned again an hour later, it was already noon; Chen Feng had just gotten up.
Upon entering the room, Guo ngyao, smiling, lunged at Chen Feng, hanging onto him, saying happily, "It’s really a double joy! Xue Jun’s issue is almost solved too. Chen Feng, I really can’t hold it in anymore; can you tell ? Who is this friend helping you? They have such great influence, with incredible efficiency. Just one day, and it’s all sorted out."
Chen Feng was equally curious, but he had to control it, looking calm as he asked, "What’s the situation with Xue Jun now?"
Guo ngyao laughed and said, "We were all deceived by that mistress’s lover and his family. He never suffered such severe injuries; it was all their tricks, bribing hospital doctors and connections, even attempting to falsify the injury assessnt, but it was exposed and overturned. That must be your friend’s doing, right? They are really impressive. Can you introduce them to ?"
