Cai Sumin looked at Huo Shaoheng with a smile like a kind elder.
With his experience in lawsuits in the United States, he knew very well how to disqualify the other party's prosecutor and cast a shadow over the other party's evidence. Even if it was brought to court, he could reasonably raise questions to the jury about whether the prosecutor was abusing his power for personal gain, had a conflict of interest, or had an illegal procedure.
These were the three reasons that American lawyers preferred to use in lawsuits.
If they could defeat the prosecutor, they didn't need to go against the defendant at all.
Because the basis of American law was to question public authority, the defendant's rights were protected by all kinds of laws. The victim also had their own protection, so only attacking the prosecutor had the lightest consequences and the greatest benefits.
Once Huo Shaoheng fell for it, Cai Sumin could immediately bail Cai Songyin out.
It was fine if Huo Shaoheng didn't agree since he wouldn't lose anything.
But what if he did agree? Wouldn't he be making a profit?
He would be an idiot not to try something that had no risk and was highly profitable.
Cai Sumin patted Tan Guiren's shoulder and said kindly, "Little Darling, don't cry. Major General Huo won't sit by and do nothing. Didn't he specially go to the United States to pick you up? I think you should go back with Major General Huo. At least you can see your Daddy and Mommy every day. If they need anything, you can also help look after them. "
Tan Guiren already had a glimmer of hope, and now that she heard Cai Sumin say he could help look after her parents' needs, she became even more eager.
She clasped her hands in front of her chest and looked at Huo Shaoheng with her large, watery eyes. She begged repeatedly, "Major General Huo! I beg you! I beg you! Can you take me with you? I just want to see Daddy and Mommy every day! "
Huo Shaoheng's expression was indifferent as he clenched his fist and coughed lightly against his lips. "Lawyer Cai, is there a precedent for you to do this in the United States?"
Cai Sumin had been a lawyer for so many years that he wouldn't care even if he was slapped in the face. He said with a smile, "What does it matter if there is a precedent in the United States? As long as you're willing to help, it's nothing. Little Darling has great respect for you. If she says you'll listen, then you'll definitely listen. Right, Little Darling? "
Tan Guiren quickly nodded. "I definitely won't run! You can lock me up with Daddy and Mommy! "
Huo Shaoheng saw that Tan Guiren and Cai Songyin didn't give up.
Putting down his white-gloved hand, Huo Shaoheng calmly asked Tan Guiren, "Do you know what charges Tan Dongbang and Cai Songyin were arrested for?"
Tan Guiren thought about it. "Daddy cheated in the election? And my mommy … I don't know what my mommy did. I don't think what you said is true. My mommy didn't launder money, bribe, or steal state secrets. She's a good person and would never do such a thing. "
Huo Shaoheng raised his hand to stop Tan Guiren from continuing. "Miss Tan, whether or not your parents did these things depends on the court's verdict. "However, right," she said, "Tan," They are Tan ". "If you want to be locked up with them, fine, but you have to sign that you and your parents are accomplices. You know all of their actions, and you are accomplices in the same crime. That way, I can lock you up on the same floor."
Tan Guiren's eyes lit up but quickly dimmed. She was about to speak when Cai Sumin interrupted her angrily. He pointed at Huo Shaoheng and said, "Major General Huo, I really overestimated you! How could you lure an innocent and weak woman into a confession?! I want to file a complaint! "
Huo Shaoheng smiled. "Didn't you personally suggest it just now, Lawyer Cai? Were you also trying to lure her into a confession? Tsk tsk, coaxing your own niece into prison. That's not very honorable, is it? "
"I didn't coax Little Darling into prison!" Cai Sumin felt his blood pressure rise, and his eardrums rang. "Don't slander me!"
Huo Shaoheng pointed at the person beside him. "Everything we did here today was recorded by a camera, including every word you said and every movement you made. If you're still unhappy and need to file a complaint, I'll give you a complaint number. "
Cai Sumin's face instantly turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He had been a lawyer in the United States for more than 30 years, and he had always been known for his good temper. He often made his opponents stomp their feet, but he could still smile. Because of this, he had earned the nickname "Smiling Tiger."
However, Huo Shaoheng had actually made him stomp his feet with just a few words …
Cai Sumin's vigilance towards Huo Shaoheng increased a few notches, and he didn't dare to underestimate him anymore.
Tan Guiren finally stammered, "But I never conspired with Daddy and Mommy, and I don't know what they did. How could I sign it? Wouldn't that be a lie? "
Huo Shaoheng's brows furrowed slightly. He was a bit impatient, but he still said calmly, "This was your uncle's suggestion. Ask your uncle. Goodbye. "As he spoke, he turned to leave.
He had only taken a few steps when Cai Shengnan rushed in from the VIP lounge's door. She suddenly looked up and saw Huo Shaoheng. She froze and instinctively said, "Major General Huo? Why are you here? "
Huo Shaoheng stopped in his tracks and said slowly, "Because your father wants to coax your cousin to go to prison, so I persuaded him. If you have the time, you should also persuade your father. Miss Tan doesn't have common sense, but it's impossible that your father doesn't. Digging a hole for his niece like this is really … "
He then shook his head with a very regretful expression.
Even Tan Guiren's heart couldn't help but waver when she heard this.
Uncle, did he really mean that?
She sneaked a glance at Cai Sumin's expression and was shocked by his furious expression. She quickly looked away.
After a while, she couldn't help but look over again.
Cai Sumin was infuriated by Tan Guiren's evasive and slightly fearful gaze, but the patience he had honed as a lawyer for many years still won out.
He suddenly laughed loudly and said, "Major General Huo is really interesting. Your sense of humor is very good, and I admire it! There are very few people in the Hua Xia Empire today who have a sense of humor like yours! "
"Dad, what exactly happened?" Cai Shengnan was even more confused, but when she looked at Huo Shaoheng and then at the bashful Tan Guiren, Cai Shengnan was alarmed.
Cai Sumin laughed and said, "I was joking just now and told Major General Huo to take Little Darling home. That way, she could be closer to your Auntie and Uncle. Haha, but Major General Huo misinterpreted my intentions and said that I was trying to coax your cousin into going to prison. Hahaha, that's so funny! "
Although he was laughing happily, there was no trace of a smile in his eyes.
Cai Shengnan almost fainted when she heard this.
Asking Tan Guiren to go back with Huo Shaoheng?!
Wasn't this creating an opportunity for Tan Guiren to be with Huo Shaoheng?!
Was he really her biological father?!
He was actually pushing his daughter's sweetheart to another woman …
Cai Shengnan's anger rose in her heart, but she smiled nonchalantly. "How is that possible? Dad, you've been practicing abroad for many years, so you don't know the rules here. Aunt and uncle have to be locked up separately for what they did. How can Cousin go? Also, Aunt and uncle are being locked up by the Special Operations Forces. That's not a place just anyone can go. Cousin doesn't have a pass, right? "
Tan Guiren nodded and said pitifully, "I don't have a pass yet. I originally wanted to beg Major General Huo to let me go, but Major General Huo made me sign before I could go …"
"Sign what?! Even if he let you go, I wouldn't agree! " Cai Shengnan panicked and quickly hugged Tan Guiren. "Come, stay with your cousin. Don't bother with these stinky men!"
